Ukerz: "There appears to be an error with this site."
Ukerz: yeah ,its 8am, i'm pretty friggen tired
bowjob: i feel rather disrispected that i stayed up all night and they cant even set up a pre order properly. wtf
bowjob: wow. avalon still cant get their act together
Ukerz: "look at this idiots waking up for nothing"
Ukerz: I think Yifu did th ebetter trollig job
Ukerz: this is kinda stupid this
Diablo-D3: no trolling
kakobrekla: luck this time, bought my road tax vignette with 21 dollar coins :)
mircea_popescu: no, im just getting an echo in reporting trades now ;/

mircea_popescu: well then... you stand to make whatever portion of 700 btc
bowjob: im on the "BFL won't ship before march 1st" crowd..
bowjob: For instance, I got some at xx48, price is now xx73 ... thats like having lots of asics mining and appreciating on value
bowjob: the dividends are just cherry on top
bowjob: I meant the price appreciation over the past month. ^
mircea_popescu: then taper off
mircea_popescu: asics are, again theoretically, bound to have huge returns early
mircea_popescu: sdice is, theoretically at least, bound to have slowly rising returns
bowjob: I'm currently long BTC, long S.Dice 50/50 split. I'd rather not disrupt that ratio.. and I took the Avalon into account
bowjob: Well, owning S.Dice shares is like owning ASICs.. and I have some of those
bowjob: I'll look into what delays the shipment, see if I can get any answers from Yifu before they go on sale
bowjob: I'd consider Avalon to be a 1/6 confirmation phase.
bowjob: gosh, basic.. have you seen the letter?
bowjob: 20 mins for 300 ASICs back in september.. now that they have actually shipped 2 units, it could be 10 minutes, actually
bowjob: i dont think waiting is really an option.. that 600 unit order will get eaten
bowjob: mhm, yes i see that.
mircea_popescu: putting together 2 units out of a 300 unit run is not the same as having made 300 units.
mircea_popescu: the point is that until they delvier batch 1 you can't tell whether they do or don't deliver at all.
mircea_popescu: that's not the point tho.
bowjob: as for BTC.. isnt what what we want? for BTC to be used
bowjob: the no refunds part make sense.. they need the order the parts right away
mircea_popescu: more credible than anyone else, yes.
bowjob: well, out of all the asic producers, only avalon produced a real asic so far, that makes them more credible than anyone else
mircea_popescu: it's Feb 2. three weeks later. shipping takes 3 weeks for EVERYONE in a 300 order batch ?
mircea_popescu: bowjob i have serious doubts about avalon. so far as best we can determine they have not delivered.
bowjob: I'm not sure how much the shipping is gonna be..
bowjob: I expect around 58 TH by the time i get mine
bowjob: im confident bfl wont pull their heads out of their asses, some delay will happen again
mircea_popescu: wasn't it supposed to be 1200 ?
mircea_popescu: how much is the new avalon ?!
bowjob: id hate to sell some dice shares
bowjob: I'm not sure if the price includes shipping or not.
bowjob: I had 80 BTC set aside for Asic.. in case it goes down a bit.. but not this much!

bowjob: ;; ticker
bowjob: i did not see this dump coming.. wow fuck.
bowjob: 9 am est translates to 6 am pacific
Bowjob: 2 hours and 37 moar mins till Avalon starts asking for mahknee
Namworld: It's nice to tally up all that data
Namworld: It's just there doing nothing all the time
gesell: What is K.KBRL on mpex, or what is the K. category?
mircea_popescu: dude this is deep.
mircea_popescu: So many people in the US focus on being one lottery win away from being rich, when they're actually one lost job or house fire or medical emergency away from being destitute.
mircea_popescu: hm, that's a point.
Namworld: It would have to be zombie napoleon
Namworld: They're still not happy about the outcome of the American War of Independence.
Namworld: Sounds more fun like that
Namworld: Mircea Popescu - actually a sock puppet for the brits rebuilding their old empire. Starting with Bitcoins to vanquish US capitalism which is in their way.
gesell: funny thread. have sa heard of bitcoingem?? please someone let them know about that
Namworld: Well, it's not necessary. But when it was suggested, it made me think of the opposite.
Ukto: besides, its generates talk. and "There's no such thing as bad press" ;)
mircea_popescu: will be kinda hysterical if/when SA discovers like... stuff on trilema.
Ukto: more fun that way. :)
mircea_popescu: why does someone have to be a sock puppet ?
Ukto: Namworld: mebbe they are both sock puppets of someone else?
Namworld: Oddly, I thought about Mircea Popescu being the sock puppet instead when MPOE-PR was accused of being a sock puppet
mircea_popescu: they pretty much only read/care about the trolls and nuts.
mircea_popescu: well, sa stuff. to be taken with a grain fo salt.
Namworld: The forum says so... but most around assets channels seems to support MPEx
mircea_popescu: Still, possibly the most legit bitcoin trading site they will ever get and yet they want this one to fai
mircea_popescu: What a beautiful twist it would be if the last trading platform that didn't collapse or turn into a scam which is run more like an actual real one than a teenage dream out of the basement is run by a woman. Because they mock her, ostracize her and blame her at every turn possibly because they can't handle a girl running a service for them.
mircea_popescu: Oh well if it's two people then that's interesting. Some of the people on that forum did some internet detectiving and came to the conclusion that it's all one person but then again these are not the brightest people we are talking about...
mircea_popescu: The brilliant Bitcoin detectives thought that there was only one person who was a guy (Mircea, which is a guy's name in Romanian) and he was just using a lady's picture as a sock. I am willing to believe they got it exactly backwards, and that she just made up "Mircea Popescu" as a sock.
mircea_popescu: VvvV. Also people mock MPOE because it's a subforum of a porn site. Go over and look at it; it's kind of crappy looking despite MPOE-PR's general good sense. Presumably someone else handles the web implementation.
mircea_popescu: Agree that two of the smartest posters on there are women: MPOE-PR and repentance.
mircea_popescu: Unless there is no Mircea and it's just that lady doing a "Remington Steele" thing, only instead of private eye poo poo it's Internet porn/Bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu, who runs MPOE, is a guy. The MPOE-PR woman was accused of being his sock, but I think she just does all the English-language business for him (he's Romanian).
mircea_popescu: It's like they want to scare away anyone serious about using Bitcoins as a currency, I wonder how much longer that woman who runs the (last standing) trading platform will put up with their dumb poo poo. She's hardly some great pillar of sanity since she's all wrapped up in Bitcoins too but she seems to be trying to be serious about things yet they want to shout her down. I am guessing it is because she is a woman.
Namworld: or at least tell me the specific page
Namworld: When you have the link handy
Namworld: I won't browse the whole 300 pages to find whatever post you're talking about =P
mircea_popescu: Namworld you had the link earlier neh ?
Namworld: She's attacked pretty much everything they talk about =P
Namworld: They'd probably worship MPOE-PR as Troll Goddess
mircea_popescu: and that's mpoe-pr
mircea_popescu: SA loves only one thing in all of bitcoin more than me
mircea_popescu: dude this is insane.
gesell: aah, no it was the very odd huge 40eu range bid somewhere (glitch i guess)
gesell: bleh, no, even the large chart looks odd
gesell: oh wait, maybe its just the volume adjusting the scale, and since that fluctuates so mutch one doesnt see much of the price fluctuation
gesell: okay, this is the price chart of 5d for bitcoin-24. http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/chart.png?m=btc24EUR&v=1&t=S&noheader=1&height=80&width=750&r=5 its the only one ive seen like this. not huge volume but as much as many others and yet it is soooo level. I swear, many times ive seen bots respond to my bid, in less than <500ms latency. Im convinced the owners of the exchange have a bot at play on the exchange to keep prices close to mtgox or level or i do
mjr_: i already included mpex registration in the prospectus lol :)
mjr_: its pretty cool that ycombinator chose them
mircea_popescu: have you seen mpoe-pr's infamous "see here" thread ?
mjr_: so i think it might work
mjr_: yeah i know, but i am only trying to raise like 100k
