mjr_: why are people doubting delivery? i'm just curious, i
thought
the first ones already were delived...
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 who
told you
to get involved with avalon baby.
jurov: i did not notice
the "Open" choice is by default on bitbet search
mjr_:
http://www.universa.net/ just read
the front page...i
think i might have better luck with email...though i am pretty sure i'll get filtered out quickly
mjr_: and i would be extremely interested
to know what
Taleb Nassim
thinks about btc
mjr_: i'm not finished with it, but i
think so far
that it is very interesting when looked at
through
the eyes of a bitcoiner
mjr_: buy and hold is usually
the best strategy
Bugpowder: same lack of movement last div
too
jurov: maybe, i don't remember, but only
this one was found.
mjr_: 4 days i will be ready
to invest
mjr_: that book
touches a lot of interesting points, but i
think it's
tamest assertion is
that a country is only as strong as it's monetary supply
assbot: I don't know
those people, and
they don't look very friendly.
mjr_: i
think snowcrash is going
to be somewhat of a prophecy at
this point lol
mjr_: i would
take it seriously, and i would adapt
mjr_: but i don't
think
that means it won't succeed
mjr_: i
think banks will not like it very much, nor would governments if
taken
to its logical conclusion...
mircea_popescu: so
then,
those very people will say bitcoin is very bad. no surprise.
mjr_: i
thought
the argument was "will it succeed",
the results of it are different for each person
mircea_popescu: this is a valid criticism, it will. as long as
they don't want
this
to happen, bitcoin is and will remain a bad
thing.
mjr_: yeah,
they conflate "people like
to scam people" with "bitcoin is an instrument of scamming"
mircea_popescu: they dislike
the fact bitcoin will necessarily bring down
the welfare state.
mircea_popescu: if you read
through it appears obvious what
the actual problems
they identify with bitcoin are
mjr_: what is
the command here
to look at sdice bid/ask?
mjr_: it is very insular, and
they probably won't look at any data
that disagrees with
their preconceived notion
mircea_popescu: not really.
there's not an objective standard of proof, especially not for people who aren't interested in seeing certain result sets.
mjr_: and
that is something
they would care about
mjr_: so
their
theory will look stupid (moreso
than now)
mjr_: the real world bears out
theories or doesn't
mjr_: which
they do care about
mircea_popescu: if
they were,
they'd do real work rather
than
the sort of boring nonsense
that lends itself
to foruming
mircea_popescu: in fact, most people who spend a lot of
time on forums aren't.
mjr_: that's
the sad part is
that
they know more about it
than a lot of users
mjr_: without being extremely mad at
themselves for understanding bitcoins, but
then choosing
to reject
mjr_: i don't see how
they could
talk about it at all
mjr_: but i don't
think
they would be able
to be as smug at 40....
mjr_: and
they objectively didn't
mjr_: well, its overly simplified, but yes, if btc hits a
thousand or even 40 we objectively chose correctly
mjr_: huh? not at war...but when
two people disagree,
they bet on
the outcome,
the winner wins...in pure rational economics...which
this isn't
mjr_: rationality says i bet with my money and
they bet with
theirs...the outcome will be objective
mjr_: how would
the cray
titan do at hashing?
mircea_popescu: nice is one way
to put it. from what i've seen in sa's digests, it burns some people
mjr_: but it is nice
to see how
this compares
to boinc or seti@home etc
mjr_: this is
the biggest distributed computing project in human history i imagine
mjr_: this is like
the matrix...i can only imagine (if
the asics
turn out
to be widespread) just how many petaflops we will reach
mircea_popescu: and most btc users matter in
the sense most los angeles self-styled actresses matter.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good,
then i can point out why
the
theory is nonsense on fresh data.
ShaTwo: When
they were not even as big.
evoorhees: I
think
the most exciting
thing is
that
this rediculous numbers will get
the attention of established gambling sites, and
they will no longer ignore bitcoin
mjr_: so great
to see such a success story...and i
think
the future looks even brighter
mircea_popescu: S.DICE paid a
total dividend of 2`000.73731948 BTC
to 10`000`000 outstanding shares. #dividend #bitcoin #btc #stocks
mircea_popescu: may 2012 is right before s.dice started
to move, among other
things

smickles: heh, i guess
there was ambiguity in
that last line of mine
smickles: especially if you condider what I got for what value i gave up at
the
time
smickles: mircea_popescu: yeah, it's more about
the disconnected
thought of 'what if I had
that btc now'
smickles: I just realized
that I paid 33~ btc for one year of
this vps back when btc was around 4 bucks
jurov: meh, already happened
twice. just with options instead of btc
pigeons: i was
trying
to use margin!
jurov: I won't speak for Ukto just I
think he'll keep
the exchange privately owned atm. me with coinbr likewise.
dust-otc: does anyone want
to make a scam accusation
thread against imsaguy?
bowjob: Fuck
this shit. I'm
too
tired. I've been awake for nearly 36 hours, I've spent
the majority of
the
time walking around. Congrats
to
the (un)fortunate fucker who will get my spot.
bowjob: I'm already willing
to
throw 80 BTC
to some potential scam and yet
they can't set up a way
to facilitate
the
transfer
pigeons: i will buy 2nd hand asics from
the people who borrowed on
their credit cards
to buy
them and underestimated
the difficulty rise or don't getthem soon enough
bowjob: Yeap. May as well switch
to BFL, but pay with PayPal
bowjob: "look on
the bright side.
this is probably a good indication of how your unit would work."
bowjob: of course not. i'll wait for
them
to fix it before provably
throwing away 80 BTC
Diablo-D3: do not
try
to complete an order until
they do, you will lose coins
bowjob: if mpex is dog,
that site is dog shit's dog shit.
Diablo-D3: wait until
they
turn off caching and cdn
bowjob: they opened up
the orders,
the problem is no one can fill
them..
the site is broken
