than havelock
smickles: <
topace> Havelock passthru now has 2% of all SDICE shares
that have been released (200,000 of 10,000,000) << heh, sounds like I finally have some competition
mircea_popescu: i guess if we count pt's as institutional investors
that
takes us
to about .7%
total

mircea_popescu: you and dt should form amalgamated american bitcoin
traders
topace: so for a while,
the only security listed on my exchange, was our own mining fund
topace: then when we looked at exchanges
to list our fund on, i couldnt find a decent one
jcpham: i was checking out
their site
jcpham: i bet it is a link
to bitcointalk?
mircea_popescu: whereby prices
to artificially pop on lack of liquidity ?
mircea_popescu: so!
the "business idea" in share "investing" is
to create market inefficiencies
jcpham: mr. bloggerman said get in
touch
mircea_popescu: well see, it's impossible for me
to check seeing how i don't know whats "last" in your context :)
jcpham: but
the game is
today :(
jcpham: i was
thinking of a sports bet
kakobrekla: JWU42>PS - 7
total bets - perhaps an insufficiently small sample size.
mircea_popescu: if i wanted
to become a bookie i
think i'd have done it by now
tho
JWU_42: didn't know
the site existed ;)
JWU_42: MPOE-PR posted something about
the site in
the YABMC
thread
topace: mircea_popescu: haha hope it wasnt me!? mine have all been right i
think (and
thanks for just processing my 80BTC deposit)
mircea_popescu: bah. so
this guy made FOUR deposits before actually hitting one right.
mircea_popescu: i don't care other
than in
the vague macro sense
that it'd be best if
this actually works as opposed
to not working.
gigavps: there are about 8 ppl crying in
the gigamining
thread,
the rest are emailing me, being polite, and working
through
this
thing with me
gigavps: nothing
to worry about
there
mircea_popescu: because forumer
time is not worth money and lawyer
time is.
mircea_popescu: it sounds
to me like
the lawyer guy is getting drowned in drama and is inches away from
throwing his hands up at
the entire
thing.
mircea_popescu: "As for Quentin, he has other clients and has, from what I was briefly
told, been busy filling in for other attorneys in
the office while
they were away. I'm hoping
to speak with him
today
to get an updated
timeline for
the verified claims lists and
terms of service for
the VPS site."
Namworld: Well now
they're at 100 - 130k weekly impressions.
mircea_popescu: last i checked (maybe a year ago ?)
they were horrible.
Namworld: We've put a
tracking link and going
to see if it gets any results.
Namworld: Those ad slots seems a bit expensive
tho.
Namworld: Well I guess
the only people happy are BTC-BOND holders.
Namworld: Amazingrando isn't very active. Just moved his Bitbond
to cryptostock and nothing
then.
TradeFortress: So,
there has being no dividends from when GLBSE shut down
to now?
Namworld: The rest was loaned
to Amazingrando as per motion in exchange of hashing, until such day we could buy some ASIC rig.
Namworld: but I haven't been able
to read your blog in months, except right after
that
time you gave me 100 free credit.
Ukto: its not enough
to feel with a fingernail
Ukto: what was
the original deal?
Ukto: I am extending
the 3btc
thru jan at least
gladoscc: Ukto: what's
the current fee for listing a new asset on bitfunder?
Ukto: thestringpuller: k, going back
to
the garage
to
try
to find
the discs again
thestringpuller: kakobrekla: you are a hacker
there is no normal circadian rythym for us
kakobrekla: i was
trying
to get back
to a normal pace
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it was possibly
the first
time an item of value was exchanged for
this internet funny nonsense
pigeons: i hope you mean days in bitcoin
time, cause it would have been more
than
that, by far
Bugpowder: if
the bitcoin pizza man never existed, we would have been set back a few days
pigeons: that's why first
thing i did with
the
time machine was kill Bugpowder's grandpa
Bugpowder: one way of measuring you value in science is
to ask, if I never existed, how far would it have set back
the field, in
terms of
time.
pigeons: i would have happily given
that many for pizza
too, but no one else was willing
to
take
them for something valuable like pizza
pigeons: without being willing
to accept bitcoins for pizza, we never would have been able
to
trade anything for bitcoins
pigeons: yeah i don't get
the ridicule either
Namworld: Hey, at
the
time, a measly 10 000 BTC for a pizza was an amazing deal on such gastronomy food.
Dr-G: still a better
transaction
than
that pizza
transaction
mircea_popescu: "i won 16btc and promptly
turned around and bought
the stock"
Bugpowder: the only way
to win long
term is
to
take
the winnings and buy
the stock :-P
Dr-G: minus
the 250 btc I robbed :P
mircea_popescu: it'd seem
the value of
that model strictly depends on
the quality of
the bookie.
Bugpowder: anyway, I
think
the betsofbitco.in model is flawed for
the most popular
topic of betting, sports, and only works for certain long-dated events with a lot of ebb and flow
to
the apparent odds,
that juice
the bet value. When
there is a site
that does Vegas style odds making, I'm going all in in
that IPO.
Bugpowder: I am actually amazed
that nobody has built
this site.
Bugpowder: This is
the way it works, and it works very well
Bugpowder: If it gets really bad, you move
the spread
to a new number, i.e. -5.5
Bugpowder: if people keep banging on one side, you adjust
the vig, i.e. you charge 150
to win 100 on
the side with
too much action
mircea_popescu: but im just saying, you can put 50/30 btc in,
then wait for other bettors
to contribute
theior own
then make a final bet
to adjust
to reasonable rate either way
Bugpowder: then you charge 110btc
to bet on either side, and if you win you get your bet + 100 back.
mircea_popescu: you can
try coinbr.com, or else bitfunder has a passthrough
Bugpowder: so if
the seahawks score at least 4 points more
than skins, you win
the bet
Dr-G: oh you're
the MPE something guy, your stuff is cool but
too complicated for me ;)
Bugpowder: naw.
The spread in
the seahawks-skins game was +3.5 for seahawks.
mircea_popescu: but suppose
the event is 7:2
to buy , 1:3
to sell (just random numbers)
