Diablo-D3: they may not have enough
to sell in
the first generation
Diablo-D3: [09:02:02] <mircea_popescu> Diablo-D3 afaik
they don't ship anything,
they mione
mircea_popescu: "An open letter
to LTC-GLOBAL members who are downvoting BMF " eh
there you go.
mircea_popescu: no. i just need one single person with good contacts
that can get real discounts.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, who with actual provable fmcg/retail experience wants
to partner
to make a real bitcoinamazon ?
Anduck: i
think people are really underestimating
the boxing of
the chips in
the circuit
Anduck: i saw pics of
them having
them
Anduck: Diablo-D3:
they're
the only one with actual chips?
mircea_popescu: maybe, he just up and realised one day
that he's running an exchange which pretty much has nothing wortyhwhile on it.
Diablo-D3: I
think its partly why nefario ran away
Diablo-D3: it wasnt quite what I intended, but I imagine I wasnt
the only one left holding
the bag on
that
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: no, I did end up pushing
the market
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 nah, it lost money because you were stubborn and acted as if you can push
the market.
Diablo-D3: I mean, DMC "lost" money because nefario refused
to do his job
mircea_popescu: "o, it's your job
to prove
that my stock generation rerun is legit"
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: yeah, but how
the fuck did he do it
mircea_popescu: it's very little money and he has a lot of spare
time, so arguing about it with him sort of feels like giving a perv a handjob
thestrin1puller: or was he just dumb and lost a bunch of money and is
trying
to bluff his way out like a bad poker player
Diablo-D3: man, what
the fuck was wrong with usagi
jurov: oh.. so make a bet
that "usagi will be sentenced by
the rota"
then
thestrin1puller: nah. i already am drawing up papers for a court date against usagi on behalf of
the shareholders
mircea_popescu: well i don't
think
that can be a bet cause one person could easily manipulate it
jurov: i have a fun bet proposal:
The Rota won't sentence anyone
till...whatever
jurov: yeah, mpoe-pr will make sure of
that :P
mircea_popescu: im just
there
to keep it from being really successful.
Namjies: THE DICE! IT'S LOADED! I should double everytime I roll six but I roll six 1.9% less
than I should statistically do.
Namjies: I'd say a bet where user can make it happen directly... open
to abuse
kakobreklaa: so was
thinking is
this allowed "this bet will reach over 100btc by
tomorrow"
Namjies: The house should win 1.9% of bets. So you can actually bet about ~52
times as much as you have cash.
Namjies: Bet 500 BTC x 50 000
then.
Namjies: Don't bet 500 BTC. Bet 0.01 x 50 000 on Less
than 1
Namjies: The best odds is on
the lowest "win" odds
Namjies: It's
technically
the same odds long
term.
jurov: lol "non-favoritism of either entity may easily be verified by
third parties"
mircea_popescu: ahhh, i have a good feeling about
this site. ppl like it!
mircea_popescu: mind
telling
the guy asking
that it's mods
that control
the outcomes
smickles: heh, well designed site,
this ^ as evidence
smickles: I'll have
to go feed my daughter
tho ;)
jurov: maybe next month we can
try BBET-like strategy
Namjies: We moved
to bitpay
to process payment. We'll lose 0.99% in fees. But like
that
there's no incentive
to hack BitVPS for it's wallet. Plus nice features.
jurov: i don't know. i put
together working prototype, but he hadn't
time or whatever.
mod6: maybe
thats what you're referring
to
mod6: maybe
the blockchain just got
too big... but I
thought
that he worked something out?
mod6: oh hmm..
thought people used
to do
that
jurov: rg has
thought of funding multiwallet patch for bitcoind
to allow
this
jurov: mod6, in fact hosting wallets, at least with full client, is forbidden under bitvps
TOS
mod6: the knowledge
transfer and roles/responsibilities is
tough in a crunch, I know how
that goes.
mod6: Jumping into stuff like
that can always get hairy.
mod6: Well it's good
that you got
the kinks worked out. :)
Namjies: Now everything is back on
track.
Namjies: All during
the holidays =/
Namjies: We had some downtime and hard
time fixing
things.
Namjies: It's not advertising,
the issues from rg being
too busy on his new job and
the fact he half
transfered us
the login details (we didn't know
the account
to pay some bills/get support from datacenters)
mod6: if you stay on
top of
the
technical issues and keep up
the SLA --
that and some decent customer service will go a long way.
mod6: bad news
travels fast when peoples
tickes get neglected on stuff like
their VPS -- many people use
them
to host wallets
to make payments etc.
Namjies: Aye, just sad we lost many customers over
the last months apparently.
Namjies: Aye, but he was giving much more
than he should
Anduck: when is
this spreadsheet coming out?
Namjies: Guess I have all
the reasons
to grow BitVPS now.
Namjies: I paid
them alot
thinking
the dividend paids were 50% of BitVPS's profit >.>
mod6: I'm just
too
tied up with
this other stuff.
mod6: If I had more
time I'd offer
to help more.
Namjies: I had lots of shares prior
to rg leaving BitVPS =P
mod6: Namjies: weren't only 300`000 released
to
the public anyway?
Namjies: Eh,
that's not actually much.
Namjies: So only 136087 owned by
the public.
Namjies: I'd have
to check WHMCS, one sec.
Namjies: As you can see, it matches
the USD on server bills.
Namjies: Yeah, but it shows
the amount in USD we've paid for it.
pigeons: kakobreklaa: "in
the cloud"
Namjies: Well
the WHMCS owned license won't be
there next months. 325$. We won't have
to pay 19$ monthly for it now.
mod6: it does look good
though, glad
to see some statements
Namjies: For a second I
thought you didn't like it
mod6: glad
to see
that :)
