smickles: well, i'll calc that # right now
mircea_popescu: i fear they went from two thirds this spring to something like 40% today.
mircea_popescu: to the point they don't have half the market.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, it means that mtgox's marketshare leaking has been going steady and possibly aggravating
smickles: 'cause if they were selling it, it'd tank the price
smickles: yeah, but it means that the miners ar prolly using or saving most of the generated btc recently
mircea_popescu: tho im pretty sure there's barely two weeks left.
mircea_popescu: what's that ? six months worth of bitcoins ?
smickles: am i doing this wrong?
mircea_popescu: everyone's asked this and nobody'll have a good answer.
smickles: I said that if a good process becomes known, we'll use it

smickles: coding and waiting for a chain to sync
mircea_popescu: bitter but not the end of the world.
smickles: under 400 in btc and about 300 worth of obligations to ss
mircea_popescu: how much capital in the ss thing ?
mircea_popescu: smickles the link that keeps on giving
smickles: jezus mircea_popescu that link, it goes on forever
kakobrekla: i want to see the private parts of em
smickles: kakobrekla: well, once i consolidate them, you can see them all you want
Doffx: Yeah I was before as well, but I had loaded the 32 bit glx and those are gone now rolled up in to the main driver
Doffx: PlayOnLinux is unable to find 32bits OpenGL libraries.
Doffx: I'm not sure how you get around that yet.
Doffx: the New nvidia drivers have the 32bit multi inside them but it doesn’t seem to know that

Azelphur: smickles: it runs faster on native Linux than it does on Windows
smickles: heh, it also works under wine with the -opengl launch command
smickles: Azelphur: what's there to ask? you already said it works.
mircea_popescu: im starting to think my driver sucks
Doffx: I'm curious how that will work I should look in to it again/
Doffx: Isint steam going to be Linux ready soon too?
Azelphur: I've been playing the TF2 Linux beta :P
Doffx: Hes a shut in computer geek, no time for girls they eat up all your time.
Doffx: See there he is.
Azelphur: I decided not to do it as I don't like my code handling large amounts of money
jurov: a bit too cool now
Doffx: I never expected anything from it even way back them but it was a good idea.
jurov: i think if azelphur decided 6 months ago, now it would be in alpha, at most.. not a simple endeavor
Doffx: Take 10 steps then draw your weapon sirs.
mircea_popescu: or breaking out in tears.
mircea_popescu: guy was a couple steps from provoking me to a duel
Doffx: I think I was more saved from, rather than missed anything, however that's my opinion.
mircea_popescu: but anyway Doffx you missed out on all the drama&outrage earlier.
Doffx: It's all Azelphur's fault, had he made the Mpex Passthrough website 6 months ago like he said we would all be rich.
smickles: you're telling me
Doffx: Well that's poopy.
Doffx: Anything new with Glbse these days
mircea_popescu: sooo updated the faq! check out my fancy awards! http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/faq.html#33
_Fireball: when I have some free time, I will do live reporting via twitter
mircea_popescu: i been waiting for this soo long...
thestringpuller: ah but did you expect the spanish inquisition?
mircea_popescu: there's this scene where the roman guard makes him fix his spelling
thestringpuller: there was a mongolian soldier who after his swords broke used dead bodies to continue to fight
mircea_popescu: heh srsly. you were just blown to bits and you're gonna what, bite my arms off ? bleed on me ?
thestringpuller: and he cause the 1989 revolution
pigeons: yeah see that leaves us with nothing
_Fireball: as a trader, after speaking to such person, I would keep away from anything closely related to Popescu
thestringpuller: tomato tomato
pigeons: no he trolls a little :)
_Fireball: or he's just a troll
mircea_popescu: well, do it five times, who knows, maybe repeating it helps.
_Fireball: thestringpuller, I requested apologies from mircea_popescu already three times in a row
_Fireball: ICBIT is obviously a way more mature service than your "exchange"
mircea_popescu: dude, srsly. you're wasting your time.
_Fireball: also, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50817.0 - this is the original topic about ICBIT, dated Nov 03, 2011
_Fireball: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102333.0 is that true?
_Fireball: anyway, you seem to be a troll
_Fireball: you are proposing theories
mircea_popescu: if he's looking to hedge there's better avenues.
mircea_popescu: you are proposing the theory whereby "someone" sold btc all the way to 10.02 YESTERDAY. his position covers a few hundred btc.
_Fireball: the rate dropped *because* of the excessive shorting
_Fireball: ah, about the current rate
_Fireball: what does slippage has to do with short positions?
mircea_popescu: why would anyone want the 1 dollar slippage ?!
mircea_popescu: people can short 100k bitcoins synthetically via options on the spot, and probably about the same in traditional borrow-short positions over the otc if they are well known
_Fireball: or hedging the risk using futures/
_Fireball: mircea_popescu, do you realize there is such thing as arbitrage?
mircea_popescu: _Fireball well in this case, the frequency of bitcoin bears is limited by the fact that people who have bitcoins tend to believe in them too, or else they'd have never bought any.
_Fireball: mircea_popescu, the world is not limited by your personal knowledge
mircea_popescu: i don't know that many bitcoin bears.
_Fireball: aethero, that one who has big "short" position
smickles: and are trying to force liquidate longs
aethero: Why would someone even *want* to keep the price low?
thestringpuller: can I see this trilema article?
mircea_popescu: lucky that after wreaking havoc for a while he was scared by a trilema article.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the theory goes that some mysterious "manipulator" who had been keeping the price low on the site is losing all the money. not the site itself.
thestringpuller: are people about to lose a lot of money?
_Fireball: mircea_popescu is the one who is f..cked :-)
mircea_popescu: if it's worth the 0.05 cents to you or w/e
thestringpuller: and get around the paywall?
mircea_popescu: i actually am the first guy online to charge for content
thestringpuller: a paywall to read the blog?
smickles: you get 5 or so free, each time you read an article it ticks one off,
mircea_popescu: if you read a buncha posts it pops this paid content thign
