mircea_popescu: haha! i got assbot and all
the split people can't see it.
thestringpuller: I feel like giving dividends
to shareholders is a waste of capital
Ukto: although I was planning
to avoid buying shares on my own exchange, I really don't see much of a problem with it
Ukto: I will probably be buying some shares myself via
Terra once he gets
things listed
thestringpuller: well
the
thing is mircea_popescu is
that with
the growing complexity of building code, it may be better for
there
to be an architect who can design it and
to have code monkey's build it
gribble: smickles was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 hour, 28 minutes, and 31 seconds ago: <smickles>
there is now a spread on idiff.mar
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
the idea you had about certified code review, why not extend
that
to a code-factory
Ukto: I am not afraid of
the competition
that I will go mudslinging everywhere
pigeons: well
the mugs were
to get btc people interesting in giving a little coin
to
the effort
to get a kiln
evoorhees: Diablo...
that's a stupid petition lol
thestringpuller: we should get phys delivery of cocoa by doing a deal with
the columbian cartels
evoorhees: so I'm on antibiotics and have
to keep my leg elevated
evoorhees: no store in macau yet
to buy btc :)
thestringpuller: evoorhees: I
thought you'd be
too busy having fun in New York
to drop in on us.
evoorhees: it'll be a while before
those connections make
their way
to bitcoinland
evoorhees: we were introducing people
there
to bitcoin
evoorhees: well, slightly less
than
that for Dec so far
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i been
trying
to get futures with phys delivery for a year now
thestringpuller: I
think
the future market is a good start, once you're able
to buy manufacturing level volumes of commodities, people may use BTC as a primary
trade vehile.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller actually s.dice looks set
to make 5ish %
this month
pigeons: give it
to me, i'll do interesting
things with it
thestringpuller: if someone gave me 10,000 dollars I would just put
that into btc
then give you
the btc
thestringpuller: I'm going
to solicit rich people
to give me money
then I'll give it
to you
Diablo-D3: three identical orders
totaling 3k?
Diablo-D3: did
the bot just get stuck or what?
mircea_popescu: i guess
today i learned how you spell insanity in chinese.
mircea_popescu: no one use MPW
this
time. include us, BFL ,bASIC, asicminer, etc.
dub: guruvan seems
to have lost it
Namjies: Anyone can fill
that last stretch?
Namjies: I'd abuse
the heck out of
those futures if I knew I was about
to dump massive hashing into
the network.
mircea_popescu: so
they buy diff before
they deliver cause
thye know
they will ?
jurov: as using
them
to mine bears
the risk someone spotting
them
jurov: in
the meantime, asic suppliers have got ideal instrument for insider
trading
mircea_popescu: hopefully mining market matures soon and we can move
to a saner method
mircea_popescu: jurov it's a little kludgy, but i see no other way
to do it.
mircea_popescu: Also unlike other futures contracts X.IDIFF.* are not subject
to an insurance fee. Consequently, in
the event of a net seller's deposited collateral being exceded by current difficulty a proportional number of open contracts will be forcibly liquidated.
jurov: new owner will suddenly see
the futures liquidated?
jurov: maybe
that was already discussed, but what if i do 1.mkfut 2. sell all
the futures 3. difficulty skyrockets
mircea_popescu: Let's assume
Tom sold 1000 units,
that's give or
take 50TH/s,
pigeons: i mean i've been reading
this forum for a month,
therefore i've got fairly lenghty involvement in
the project
mircea_popescu: gotta give it
to
them :
they won' be around in 2-3 of
those so.
their mark must be left in a week preferably.
pigeons: i also love how people
think a month is a long
time
mircea_popescu: i guess she's run out of old
trolls
to bite
the heads off
mircea_popescu: -pr is making it her life mission
to skewer btctalk noobies it seems
pigeons: mircea_popescu: who runs
that?

lyspooner: yes,
that incremental blockheader is a very beautiful
thing. although
the block reward halving party wasn't as exciting as a new years countdown
Diablo-D3: its more of an ordering protocol
than anything
lyspooner: the blockchain has been described as a distributed
timestamp
Diablo-D3: lyspooner: well, Ive used difficulty as a unit of
time before
lyspooner: "not related
to
time"... it's defined by
time, if you just rid your antiquated idea of what
time is
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu:
trying
to play
that game doesnt work
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that as hash output increases
the 2k blocks go by faster, so
the 400% is not related
to
time
Diablo-D3: smickles: but we'd have
to go from 17TH
to like 17EH or something
lyspooner: smickles,
the future is very good for miners
to buy
Diablo-D3: smickles: its fast enough we can cross
that 115x in 24 months if we had
the hardware
to do it
smickles: Diablo-D3: what's
the max diff increase per occurrance?
Diablo-D3: nefario was kind enough
to steal a lot of dmc's money doing
that
