gesell: im just assuming
there will be a day im not so active with bct and might only monitor once a month
smickles: aslo, it shows up on mpex.co, but you're unable
to
trade it
mircea_popescu: course people are allowed
to announce
their ipo wherever
they want
gesell: sorry
to get specific but id just like
to monitor
the progress
gesell: where was it announced, blog and mpex site,
that all?
gesell: where do you anounce, on blog (with a certain category i can monitor) or here, or
twitter, or?
gesell: no, i wasnt. left
the scene for a while until dec last year
mircea_popescu: gesell in general ipos are announced in advance. were you around during
the bbet ipo ?
gesell: mircea_popescu: yeah
that is
the means for exploring signing up with you. im just curious if investors can get a headsup when
this starts, or at least when its going
to happen. rather
than just refreshing
the mpex website all
the
time
DeadWeasel: I don't
think bitcoin needs 'aggressive expansion'.
gesell: mircea_popescu: is any part of
the process and application for ipos public, posted as news, by you or
them? or is it pretty much until it happens. i mean, even knowing when a new company will release ipos
there might be a nice way
to get an alert
PsychoticBoy: <mircea_popescu> and also why put up with idiots a la PsychoticBoy eskimoblob etc filling up
the forum with nonsense<< LOL
mircea_popescu: because you can very convincingly argue you can afford
to pay wins
smickles: lol,
that image..
the "why did I get
this?" link
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 well, for multiplereasons.
there's a lot of benefit
to being listed as a dice site
gesell: pizzaman1337:
to cover
their risks, and expansion
mircea_popescu: and also why put up with idiots a la PsychoticBoy eskimoblob etc filling up
the forum with nonsense
mircea_popescu: in practice, good companies with revenue and market don't much want
to list because why share your profits
gesell: by coming into
the fold i mean, ipos
gesell: mircea_popescu: do you see any new companies coming into
the mpex fold? also i assume you just avoid including all
the miner pools, correct?
smickles: essentially, weaken future potential profits in order
to preserver
the current ones
smickles: thestringpuller: generally, you cut losses and let profits ride,
that's why, when you suspect a bubble, you don't sell all. you hedge your position
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller by
the
time you're buying it it will be

smickles: it's like
the market was brainwashed with
the phrase 'another day, another dollar'
gesell: i want
to understand, but cant. not
that im complaining
jurov: hmmm.. and when assbot fails,are
they queued?
kakobreklaa: exchanges get access
to url
to push
trades in
jurov: btw, is
the assapi public? i mean, mpex side of it
jurov: well, live.coinbr uses rss. but so far i did not notice missing
trades
there
kakobreklaa: which remembers me i promissed some dude ill add it
to bitbet
mircea_popescu: at least hacven't received any complaints on
the matter so far.
gesell: no i meant is
there a delay from
the values showing up here and showing up on
the rss
gesell: mircea_popescu: how often does
the mpex RSS update. not showing a lot of recent
trades
pigeons: hmm i wonder is BASIC-MINING intended
to mine with bASICs
mircea_popescu: actually
teh number of people willing
to assasinate me is probably
towards
the lowest historical point atm
jurov: i suspect not very high. over
time
there will be enough ppl willing
to assassinate him
pigeons: what is
the bitbet.us link
to if mircea_popescu lives
to 2150?
mircea_popescu: tho life expectancy has been mostly growing faster
than my age for
the past decades.
mircea_popescu: <mjr_> since everyone and
there mom
throws around
the 21 million number <<
that number will be reached sometime in 2150
error4733: +9K since
the last dooglus update for S.DICE. 20K for January
mjr_: 2 days
to link account, 2 days
to
transfer
mjr_: some men just want
to see
the world burn
mjr_: jurov: you mean debasement as in melting down US coins? Cuz you are actually increasing
the average value i would imagine
mjr_: joker style...it's about sending a message <takes hammer
to hard drive>
jurov: lol i realized if some
tards succeed
to get btc recognized as currency,
they can be prosecuted for debasement whenever
their hdd crashes without backups
mjr_: just curious what effect if any
that would have
mjr_: since everyone and
there mom
throws around
the 21 million number
mjr_: but in how it would affect
the scarcity of bitcoins
mjr_: my point was not
to
try and find
this
pigeons: yeah easier
to find
the gold
than
the chance of guessing
the key
mjr_: equivalent
to gold in sunken pirate ships?
pigeons: yes, i've contributed
to
them
mjr_: in other words,
there are bitcoins which can never be spent at
this point correct?
mjr_: in
the analogy of bitcoin as cash...
mircea_popescu: i can't fucking keep
track of
them anymore, it's all a blur. plus when i go
to
type into
the url bar i have
to
type an entire word!
gesell: (the bible
talks about a 1000 year reign of peace and
tranquility. I wonder if in
the end we will realize
this is dependent on
the dificulting of factoring 'n' into p and q)
jurov: mjrIII, btw i just added calculator
to coinbr options exercise screen, if you have bought any options you can click on Exercise and see

gesell: ripple
threat on bitcointalk or somewhere else?
gesell: pigeons: will check it out.
thanks

the ripple list last couple days on
this, with intended application of seller reviews
gesell: author of colored coin argues for using bitcoin blockchain is better
than deploying a new chain due
to security of pooled hashrate. other options given are subject
to
the long
tail of adoption. also, still going
through it, appears
to focus on
tie
tokens
to assets.
the asset of a widgetA isnt so important
to me as
the reputation of
the source (rx addr) for widgetA. So I have
to contemplate how
to use colored coin for reputation. but ignorin
mircea_popescu: guy just had a bad
trip, ended up convinced "they're after him"
pigeons: but
there is no indication
that
there was any contact even with nefario by
them
gesell: yeah and everyone knows
the SEC loves some black helicopters
pigeons: and

the SEC was investigating "bitcoin denominated securites"
gesell: pigeons: black helicopters always get
the best of us
