mircea_popescu: the above were
tests related
to switching
to new assapi
Namworld: Breaking News: In an unexpected
turn of events, MPEx is
the host of a record breaking
trade
totaling over
the
total amount of bitcoins in existance. In other news, a 1 cm asteroid is heading
toward Earth, which might just kill everyone in an fiery apocalyptic scenario, as rendered by our artists in
the following video...
kakobrekla: anyway, 0.1337
to whoever finds where is it comming from.
kakobrekla: no,
the personality has not been discovered yet
Namworld: Havelock and BTCT.co
trades are reported here like MPEx now
asa1024: is
this
the personality
that you added
to assbot?
mircea_popescu: most people in most
times
traded for
the simple reason
that fighting is so fucking dangerous.
mircea_popescu: but on
this simple "i'm from
the future so i'm so much better" paradigm you'd do jack shit.
mircea_popescu: you couldn't prove
this by just
talking
to
the people.
mircea_popescu: lemme
tell you a big secret pretty much any scholar knows :
mircea_popescu: obviously in
the next paragraph it falls wholesale into futurism.
mircea_popescu: In most prior human societies, people made money by
taking it from others.
The industrial revolution wrought a paradigm shift in which people make money
through
trade, not plunder.
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu Did you read
the Peter
Thiel class notes from
the Stanford startup course?
Bugpowder: I should have pyMPEX
to just accept my creditials automattically or something
mircea_popescu: ya passowrds can quickly become an issue in situations like
this.
Bugpowder: I am going
to look at my Vanguard account and
try
to cheer up
Bugpowder: I am so bummed I did not make anything on
the IPO yet
mircea_popescu: but i noticed
twitter cut off
trades after
the first ~100
Bugpowder: The orange horizontal line does not extend
to
the edge of
the plot in coinbr
Bugpowder: fat finger order combined with someone reselling before
the IPO gap formed?
mircea_popescu: and i
think coinbr does show it,
that's why
the horiz lines
Bugpowder: I don't
think it really went off
there
Namworld: Look, BTC-MINING started
trading =/
dub: haha I hate
tuxblackedo but he comes with
teh funny at
times
kakobrekla: >I'm not worried about myself, I know math. I'm worried about grandmas who spent
their whole lives doing money
transactions
to 2 decimal places.
dub: \ \ MEANWHILE
THIS GAY ASCII DICK
dub: lame, on call for
the first
time in 6 months or so
dub: I sale betting
to you
Namworld: They just go click click click I want
this now.
Namworld: I see
the same
thing everywhere... people complaining of being scammed for clicking on a button confirming a fee. People confirming a service without even checking
the pricing. People complaining of not being warned of something
they couldn't do or would be charged for
that is written clearly in instructions.
mircea_popescu: Namworld i guess
that shows how well read contracts are.
mircea_popescu: 189bxJPdjZj7rZtqFBAdMsHbnkdm3U3Wz5 ahaha jurov,
the impressionist painter.
Namworld: No one ever used
the email
to request
to redeem yet. Not once.
Namworld: The 40 BTC withdrawal was for
that. It was going as low as 0.009
Namworld: Yes, I was saying
this
the other day.
Namworld: and if someone puts
them low on
the ask, I buy
them at a discount.
Namworld: Well I offer
to repay
them 0.01 BTC on demand.
assbot: If
the milk
turns out
to be sour, I aint
the kinda pussy
to drink it.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell bugpowder btw you were right, my bad. a bunch of models were discussed and i forgot
that in
the end i decided
the blocks go +1s each
burnside: heh, meant inside
the pico code block :P
mircea_popescu: but i know i sure as heck don't want
to have mpex
trades stream in
the same place with
that dood's imaginary 1k basic "mining corp"
mircea_popescu: you know, sooner or later you'll meet
the nasty problem of having
to set a standard.
Bugpowder: too expensive
to manipulate
though
burnside: thanks for
the assist kakobrekla,
that was a
trade on
the site, works great
Bugpowder: too bad
tehre were no props on

test-two
mircea_popescu: Namworld i guess it could be.
the astute observer might notice
that i in general deal in anti-hype
Namworld: Hype can also be
the interest arising from
the advertising and facts regarding a new product.
mircea_popescu: it's funny, cause i'm currently embroiled in an equally amusing debate with some guy on
the forum.
Anduck: mod6: i wouldn't mind in
this case
mircea_popescu: Namworld fact remains, falsehood does not stem from
truth.
Namworld: Endorsing is not
the same as hyping.
mod6: or end up featured in another
trilima article
Anduck: maybe i should quit
this conversation before i get accusated of being mentally retarded again
mircea_popescu: the sentence correctly is "the fact of a celebrity hyping a product adds
to hype'
Anduck: i
think mircea popescu
thinks hype means something else
than it means
Anduck: please
tell me in pm about my mistakes
mircea_popescu: and i'd like
to know if you're a healthy young human or a mentally retarded one.
Anduck: how is
that relevant
to
this subject?
