Namworld: Good for them
ThickAsThieves: top comment says they are gonna do it
Namworld: or something like that I think
Namworld: People are supposed to trade in a peer to peer fashion other currencies, like BTC/USD or stuff...
Namworld: they're supposed to be preminted token used to create orders in the system upon which they're destroyed.
Namworld: ripple isn't supposed to be a currency you trade for money
Bowjob: and they released at 4.6 BTC per share
ThickAsThieves: i'm not sure how it works either, i just saw some people talking about that as one of the weaknesses
Namworld: I don't think it works like that Thick...
Namworld: So one has to deposit funds to a gateway to deposit it and withdraw from a gateway.
ThickAsThieves: trust me and i'll trust you back
ThickAsThieves: and people will treat it like Facebook Likes
Namworld: and these gateways assign currencies like USD/BTC/AUD/GBP/etc to users... and they can send it around if they trust the gateway...
Namworld: People must assign trust to "gateways" which I think are like exchangers
Namworld: I think I get it...

Bowjob: less than a cent
Bowjob: 100 bill, as money get sent around theres a small fee
ThickAsThieves: or just that 100bil only?
Namworld: So you sold them for a LOT
Namworld: Making XRP worth 2,000,000 BTC at that price
dub: at this point suppose knowing what ripple is might help
Namworld: There's 100 billion XRP created right off the bat

ThickAsThieves: this is such a huge idiot trap
mircea_popescu: Bowjob nobody sensible has any money left with them anyway
Bowjob: but they prolly wont do it.
Bowjob: rather than go all or nothing
Bowjob: its better to take a refund and take the loss.. before btc rallies up again
mircea_popescu: kakobreklaa they thought they were smart :D
mircea_popescu: well ya, you sent 500 btc in october, you get 200 btc back today.

mircea_popescu: also "everyone knows" bfl is worth more than mpex
mircea_popescu: Bowjob at least they beat all other vendors.
mircea_popescu: only fair, bets on the 21st that bfl won't deliver by 1st

Bowjob: was the 50 btc you?
mircea_popescu: aaactually... i think you're right, he owes .5 to the house and makes .473
Bowjob: theres only like 3 big YES votes on the side
ThickAsThieves: does that even make any profit?
mircea_popescu: i like that string of no
Bowjob: josh could have come clean and tell us he couldnt ship by 1st
ThickAsThieves: before the 1st
Bowjob: theres this 500 BTC bet on yes
Bowjob: you're the 200 BTC no?
ThickAsThieves: although, what if he's baiting the bet
mircea_popescu: well, as it turns out that 1500 btc on bitbet will be the most btc anyone makes out of bfl
pigeons: never we think they'll next tuesday, always we think they'll be on the way to another step by next tuesday
mircea_popescu: Right now, I'm planning on a week from Friday to be the day
ThickAsThieves: i'm no engineer, but it sounds so ghetto to be wasting 1000 chips to do a macguyver test
mircea_popescu: We expect at least some of the chips to be on their way to Chicago by Tuesday, where they will be mounted and sent out to our engineers and KC for testing and final MCU programming.
mircea_popescu: "As I've written in previous posts, we are dealing with such an accelerated time scale that all of these facilities simply aren't used to dealing with."
mircea_popescu: The simple fact of the matter is there hasn't been any solid updates to offer.
ThickAsThieves: i suppose that makes the bitbet pretty much resolved...
