Bicknellski: Unfortunately I dont like gambling so I am hopeful not
to buy into something and lose
the few coins I can afford
to lose
Bugpowder: sometimes
the initiation is you double your coins
mircea_popescu: im sure he'll find something
to buy into and lose all his coins
Bugpowder: maybe no initiation for you
though
Bicknellski: be back in 6 months ish when
the initiation is over lol
Bicknellski: ... people
that lead you around by
the nose
till you can communicate effectively and not be stupid... check
Bugpowder: best I have had is Russian River Supplication
though
Bicknellski: got one of
those at
the back of
the cooler
mircea_popescu: pw:rn aka powerword:real name. it uses some
tabletop game reference
to slightly chuckle at how concerned people are with "their real name"
Bicknellski: yea what you said... whoosh right over
the nubs head... ya IPA please
Bicknellski: if i was cool I'd set my name
to Bicknellski away getting eduficated.
mircea_popescu: how
the hell does my review of mogliamante come into
that
mircea_popescu: cool. so
then : yes you'll have
to do a
ton of reading.
Bicknellski: love
to learn new stuff especially from people who have
the right vision and clarity.
Bicknellski: Definitely... Im a Montessori
teacher so we are by nature
trained be just
that widening horizons and feed our selves
to fit in
the environment we create for our students
mircea_popescu: Bicknellski well look at it
this way : are you interested in bitcoin
to learn/widen horizons or
to feed yourself ?
Bicknellski: Guessing I am going
to have
to do a lot of homework
to make it worth my while
to use MPEx... not really for
the novice is it?
Bugpowder: gotta reestablish credentials when I
take laptop
to work
Bugpowder: silghtly annoying
that I can't have 2 ips linked
to my credits
though.
Bicknellski: doubt anyone else in Indonesia reading your stuff at
the moment.
mircea_popescu: trilema identifies users by ip. you not having credits means someone read 5+ articles
this week from yoru very ip

mircea_popescu: prolly 90% of
them would fit like
toes in a silk stocking on bitcointalk
mircea_popescu: pigeons supposedly
there's ~4-5 mn listeners
that got hit
pigeons: thye regularly had whole shows where everyone would call in and
tell about how
that happens when
they look at
the clock
too
pigeons: "like a few weeks later, i
thought about it and looked at a different clock and it was 3:33
pigeons: i listended
to coast
to coast years ago but when it was people calling in saying" oh my god i looked at my clock and it was 2:22,
there are no coincidences" i had
to give it up
mircea_popescu: pigeons do you happen
to have somewhere nearby
the famous "with blood sweat and
tears" email from our friend
tom ?

mircea_popescu: coast
to coast am got a question from a marti in romania yest
Bugpowder: coinbase I
think is really making
the US retail market explode
Bugpowder: he was like... I can't buy into
the stock market yet
mircea_popescu: pigeons
that may be. it is also a self-limiting disease so.
pigeons: i used
to
think
that
they should do what
they like, even
though you are right, but now i
think all
these little innacuracies add up and we shoulod draw
the line sooner
Ukto: i have already stated my opinion on it, not going
to rehash it
pigeons: i
think intentionally profiting from a distored picture of demand and liquidity is unethical
mircea_popescu: the latter can be
the case even if you have no more
than 3 dollars in your pocket.
mircea_popescu: yes,
the confusion here is between "i feel i could afford a car" and "i can actually afford a car".
pigeons: in
the case of orders backed by credit,
those are acutally backed by credit, unbacked orders don't contribute less
to distortion just because margin exist
mircea_popescu: which is quite possibly "never", so why shouldn't
they have
their fun ?
mircea_popescu: it's also a race condition waiting
to happen, which
they'll discover just as soon as rthey're forced
to implement multimachine systems
ThickAsThieves: would you say btctc/ltcglobal should remove
the false bidding power? Or
that it's no biggie?
mircea_popescu: and people don't get
to put
things in
the book
that aren't credit-worthy and leverage-able over
their eyes.
mircea_popescu: of course
they are.
the only reason irl books contain unpaid orders is because
they are still binding, but irl has credit.
pigeons: are
the non-speed issues sufficient consideration?
pigeons: instead of requiring full collateral
to back each order
mircea_popescu: pigeons because mpex is built
to be fast. when a new order comes in
the
trade engine does not have
the
time
to check if its book is covered.
pigeons: why doesn't mpex allow asset issuers and
the exchange
to present a deliberately false picture of asset demand by allowing a user
to bid up
to his
total balance for eash mpsic?
pigeons: ah i cant argue mircea_popescu against Namworld_afk in
the btct.co order matching issue
Namworld: But with BTC rising much faster
than our USD profits...
Namworld: We should soon have another owned server.
That should slash ~600 USD a month in rent fees.
Namworld: A bit out of whack, especially since we're not
turning a profit at all, at least right now.
Namworld: I
think he is around here sometimes indeed
Namworld: and bitcointalk seems like it's perpetually having problems loading
this past week.
Namworld: I'll need more S.DICE soon at
this rate...
Namworld: just
to say
that BitVPS shares still appear on STATS, somehow. I guess
that was not removed yet.
mircea_popescu: sooo... bitcoin just got mentioned on coast
to coast am
Chaang-Noi: and she is not at all into
that sorta stuff :)
Chaang-Noi: my wife is more into
that kinda stuff
than i...
Chaang-Noi: i have no idea about
that sort of stuff sorry
Chaang-Noi: lol, did a big christmas
thing for
the last
two years,
two years ago
took donations from
the forum in
the form of btc. sadly i converted
that
to fiat for
them. btc was like $3 back
then
jcpham: I steal power from
the local orphanage
Chaang-Noi: about 5 miles from here
there is an orphange for kids with aids,
Chaang-Noi: lol, i has my own children, and i do donate
to kids here in
thailand
jcpham: Chaang-Noi you should definitely donate
to my save
the children fund
jcpham: I live check
to check and i piss on everything
