mircea_popescu: how many weeks is that ?
Schadenfreude: And if somebody invested with pirate and got out in time...
Korbman: I suppose it depends if you're looking for short term or long term gains
mircea_popescu: someone who spent 35k to buy 1k btc at 35 and kept them has 1k btc.
Schadenfreude: Better than buying at 35, I guess
Korbman: it's just trying to figure out when it's going to go up that's the hard part
Korbman: that's why you buy both times...buying now at $14.20, then again at $14 would give you an average of $14.10 ...if it goes above that you make a profit
mircea_popescu: if btc is not going up to infinity it's not worth buying in the first place.
mircea_popescu: if btc is going up to infinity, then infinity minus 5% is not materially different
Schadenfreude: Well, buying now would be bad if the price dropped 5-10% again in the next time
Korbman: You could hedge it a bit...buy 1/3 of your bitcoins now, another 1/3 next week, and 1/3 a week after that.
Schadenfreude: I'm sitting on some cash which would best be put to work as BTC, but I'm afraid I'll lose 5-10% on a price drop
Schadenfreude: Is it likely for the the BTC price to fall in the next two weeks? Not much, but to about $13
kakobrekla: upload it to somewhere?

Schadenfreude: I assume a semi-auto rifle is a lot more useful for self defence than any other object in that img

kakobrekla: all of the above can be a projectile
mircea_popescu: we are sorry but you seem to have used the letter t

mircea_popescu: because of security procedures in place this processing may take a (short) interval.
mircea_popescu: resolved means one of the two sides was selected. payments to winning side are due and being processed
Bugpowder: Just trying to understand the process, and what resolved vs. closed me. Resolved not linked to payout?
mircea_popescu: theoretically this makes it a lot stronger
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder payouts happen in 48 hours tops.
Bugpowder: Also, have the resolved bitbets from last night been paid out? For example http://bitbet.us/bet/51/nfl-playoffs-new-england-patriots-over-houston/ There is an output link, but no coins back in my wallet.
kakobrekla: i thought mp was alergic on cloudflare
mircea_popescu: i will just make one fucking trillion free host proxies.
mircea_popescu: by hand process was tested and works.
mircea_popescu: the one disadvantage is all the cruft freehosts add to the page, so pympex will need a few cosmetic changes

thestringpuller: do you have access to your name servers?
thestringpuller: i still can't resolve the dns
mircea_popescu: quite a chunk too.
pirateat40: though routing it through TOR would've made for ultimate trolling
