mircea_popescu: hi mjr_
mjr_: i created an online presentation
mjr_: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5ZviIIaT7_kYzdaUloyR05La2M/edit?usp=sharing
mjr_: it briefly explains bitcoins in what i hope is easy to understand terms

mjr_: has anyone used bitinstant?
mircea_popescu: can you put it somewhere in a text format ? pastebin maybe ?
mjr_: and are they worthwhile? i am interested in the cash deposit method
mjr_: hmmm, might be able to but it is slides...would pdf work?
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mjr_: its a google doc right now...i figured everyone could read it easily
mircea_popescu: bitinstant is solid as far as i hear.
mircea_popescu: hello ShaTwo
mircea_popescu: everyone, this is the bitmillions guy.
ShaTwo: jeje..
ShaTwo: Hi everybody..
ShaTwo: we just launched today… http://bitmillions.com
Namworld: the private key decrypts and the public key encrypts? I was certain it was the other way around.
ShaTwo: Love to ear comment on the site..
mircea_popescu: depends what you're doing
Namworld: for bitcoin transactions
Namworld: not receiving private messages
mircea_popescu: tbh i have no idea
mjr_: i mean the messages are not really encrypted
mjr_: you are signing the message with the key
mjr_: but i did not want to get into very small dettail
mjr_: since i am assuming a non techie audience lol
Namworld: yeah, but it says the public key encrypts and can be given, and private key unencrypt and must be kept private
mjr_: but in order to send an encrypted message...i would encrypt it using your public key, you would be the only one able to read it
mircea_popescu: tbh, i thought you're signing with their public key.
Namworld: should be private key sign transactions and must be kept private
Namworld: public key verify signature and can be given publicly
mjr_: yes...that is how bitcoin works...i think that section was more about cryptography in general
mjr_: but i can update it to show how it is used in this instance
mjr_: i wanted to explain public key cryptography in as simple terms as possible
mjr_: which is pretty tough
mjr_: especially because i don't want to say "trust me, it works"
mircea_popescu: "math"
mjr_: yes lol\
mjr_: but overall pretty clear and readable?
mjr_: i'm working on getting bitcoins accepted on this other site too

jurov: if it touched usd
gesell: sorry
gesell: not usd
gesell: hmm
gesell: yeah guess that is out of the picture

gesell: how do online gamblers say, in the EU, deal with this now? getting funds in i mean
jurov: i'm not gambler, just heard something about skrillex/liberty reserve/etc. basically, e-gold currencies.

gesell: if i had the exposure that sdice is getting i'd start to try to find ways measure the effect of bitcoin-user-bootstrap friction and process, and then reweigh the hassel of dealing with fiat depending on number of users. I mean consider the profit that MTGox makes and they have to deal with this hassel, and the profits SDice has. the question is if reduced friction for fiat entry to btc to sdice would add a logrythmic increase in profits...
gesell: i guess he's more focused on stability at the moment, which is fare
gesell: but i'd still contemplate if this friction could be measured
mircea_popescu: sdice actually makes significantly more than mtgox neh ?

gesell: noticing this small delay sometimes in bitzino blackjack where after i "stand" and the dealer contemplates what he does there is sometimes a long pause, sometimes not. could be nothign but reminds me of an article 10 years ago in 2600mag where someone saw something similar that indicated when when the dealer had 21. actually it would happen whenever it asked him if he wanted to buy insurance. there was a 5 second delay in the dialog if the dealer had 21.

gesell: sorry, but gonna paste this one on how the author worked out the advantage due to delay on insurance buy (when dealer has ace showing) and working out time required and money that could be made:
gesell: "The dealer will have an Ace as his up card approximately once every 13 hands. Four out of 13 times, the dealer will also have a 10 in the hole. This means that you would get to exploit this bug approximately four times every 169 hands (1/13 x 4/13). This translates to a 2.366 percent more favorable situation for the player. Without the exploit, you would expect to lose 56 cents for every $100 bet. So with the exploit, this translates to a 1.778 percent

mjr_: yeah that is true
mjr_: security will be everything...
gesell: many hackers find 0day and sit on it because publishing wont bring you more money and you already make enough to not care so much. and many companies are horrible about patching and fixing (looking at oracle/java and adobe/flash here). so you sit on it. so, lots of people in this field know that yeah they could pwn xyz companie, grab all the credit cards and then go sell them. but why deal with the hassel of the law. it just requires too much strategizin
mjr_: anyone want seals with club referal?
mircea_popescu: i find it incredible these doods dedicated 2mn words to explaining why btc sucks to themselves.
mjr_: yeah, i think its always the funniest when people spend their time talking about things they don't like/ believe in....like r/atheism
gesell: so my point is there is going to be a lot more granularity between black market hackers and the norm, whereas today its a much larger jump mentally to go from one side of that to the other
mjr_: i'm not sure about that...i think most people who know linux don't mind doing some L33T haxor stuff now and then
mjr_: because one of the large motivations is curiousity...
mjr_: ok...no one wants referal bonus on seals with clubs...
gesell: your curosity doesnt end with the technology though. it starts to extend into manipulating feer and reaction to having their security and systems go to sht
mjr_: that is a big leap i agree
mircea_popescu: dividend payment for S.BBET in total sum of 203984160 to a notional float of 3000000 has been issued on February 2, 2013, 1:49 am.
mjr_: but being able to make something funny pop up on a coworkers screen is always fun
mjr_: i guess what i mean is that the motivation to HACK (gain access to a system that is not yours) and the motivations to STEAL are two very different things
gesell: mjr_: not really. its what drives people in this field, watching the reaction. my point is though that the step from watching something go to sht because it doesnt work or everyones passwords got dumped, to going to watching money go down the dube... the step between those too just got more granular
mjr_: sometimes you get people who have both motivations...sometimes they just have one
gesell: mjr_: yeah
mjr_: well, that's what i mean, a lot of people hack a system and just change the wallpaper...
gesell: that is what i mean, they are two different things with huge steps between them and the latter has some pretty clear motivations (black market mentality, edge of the law)
Namworld: mjr: what referall bonus?
mjr_: if you join the site...you can say someone referred you
mjr_: but i already joined
Namworld: yeah, but there's no bonus to join referred
mjr_: yeah, i was offering to give someone here the money if they already had an account
Namworld: Well, BBET dividend got through
mjr_: ie. they could get the bonus
Namworld: 2 BTC for the first month
mjr_: wow
mjr_: i've never seen a whole bitcoin
mjr_: i can imagine what that must be like though
mjr_: <mentally moving decimal places>
mjr_: one day i will finally get around these banks and get some cash on an exchange somewhere
mircea_popescu: mjr_ stick around for when sdice or smpoe distribute
mjr_: i don't have shares :( yet
gesell: anyone can point me to some abitrage code that deals with volume in orderbooks (calculating prof based on volume of several bids/asks rather than just the lowest/highest which might be really really small bids)? would like to integrate this into the google abitrage spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AguYZ5-dWMgfdElhakdHQzhiQXp5emctdjZTNG9qaEE&gid=0

mircea_popescu: ahh this sa forum thing is lol.

mjr_: no i mean you would have paper gains, but then when you need to move it
mircea_popescu: they hate on the rota too. i had no idea.
gesell: what saa forum thing?
mjr_: usually if you put an order out on the books, thats just sitting there you are "adding liquidity"
mjr_: that is valuable, so on wall street...you get a rebate
Namworld: sa hates on EVERYTHING
mjr_: if you take someone else's offer you are "removing" liquidity
mjr_: so you pay a fee
gesell: aah
mircea_popescu: Namworld apparently.
gesell: mjr_: its not obvious to me if this is happening on btc exchanges. doesnt appear so
Namworld: It's about people who have nothing better to do than angst all day about everything.
mjr_: bitfloor did it
mircea_popescu: I'm actually developing a new respect for Mircea Popescu. He's so insufferable that I used to avoid reading anything he wrote but I've been reading his blog a bit lately and the man may be arrogant but he's not stupid. He thinks strategically and it will be kind of interesting to watch him go up against the self-appointed "big players" in the world of Bitcoin commerce. The prospect of seeing someone wipe the floor w
mircea_popescu: ith Charlie Shrem and Roger Ver is pretty appealing.

pigeons: what do you mean by their model?
smickles: liquidity rebate
smickles: prolly
pigeons: oh maker/taker
mircea_popescu: what % is it ?
pigeons: i cancelled a bitfloor order hours ago and the funds are still on hold cant make another order with them yet
pigeons: they are extremely flaky always
smickles: mircea_popescu: i can't seem to remember
mjr_: think its .1% if you add -.4% if you take
mjr_: but mostly i like them cuz you can move cash in and out really easily (i thought)
mjr_: you can link an ing direct checking account and its "supposedly" instant
pigeons: what do you mean by easily?
mircea_popescu: .1% when btc moves 20% in a day ?

mircea_popescu: i very much doubt there's the volume to arb so as to render that meaningful.
mjr_: and over its lifetime i don't think it will always move a lot
mircea_popescu: slippage is probably a degree of magnitude larger order to order
pigeons: you need about 10% price difference usually to arb, causeends up being a good 7-8% moving usd from one exchange to another

mircea_popescu: BitPay just announced that you can donate to Wikipedia in bitcoins now! Oh, they kinda downplay the one small detail that Wikipedia still doesn't actually accept bitcoin. BitPay decided to set up an escrow account where people can give their bitcoins to BitPay and BitPay gives USD to Wikipedia. They did this without Wikipedia's knowledge or consent but they're acting like it's some huge victory. Oh, and they're making
mircea_popescu: a huge deal of the fact that they are so graciously not charging Wikipedia for this "service."
gesell: pigeons: i was the one that started it. im playing with it. i hear its not worht it but still gonna learn why
mircea_popescu: um is this even true !?
Namworld: or maybe they asked a wikipedia rep and they said: "yeah, whatever, as long as we receive money"
pigeons: best chance today was 20 bitcoins wanted to buy at the rock for 21 when you could buy them ld buy for 20.60 elsewher
pigeons: bitinstant ends up being 7-8% round trip
mjr_: WellsFargo cash deposits are currently suspended. Due to this account suspension, ACH withdrawals will be delayed as the account is closed. These delays are outside of our control and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We strive to process both USD and BTC in an efficient manner and will continue to do so after these delays are resolved.
pigeons: you can confirm for yourself next time you see an opportunity tell me and ill tell you why it wont work ;)
mjr_: that is from bitfloor by the way...so i guess that might be causing your delay?
pigeons: and the lowest price is always btce- and they are never lower enough even on the rare times there is volume, to break even
pigeons: all the usd deposit and withdrawal methods at btce are 7-8% and they are never that much lower than gox, whoever
mjr_: yeah...i have seen that
mjr_: gox is just so expensive
pigeons: they are expensive, but htye are the cheapest
pigeons: and of course the most volume
gesell: pigeons: why would it require bitinstant. havent though it through but considered that perhaps one doesnt need instant payout. I guess i've only been looking at the scenerio of "buy btc here, sell over there" but have not thought "get cash back and repeat"
gesell: assumed the "get cash back and repeat" was not as latency burdened so it could take a long while and be okay
gesell: in order to reduce fees
pigeons: well when you buy here you have no more cash heree now
gesell: yeah, so i still made a profit but now im blocked from making more profit
gesell: until i get it back. but if i add more weight and cash at the start i get blocked less and make more profit, no?
pigeons: well you didnt make a profit till you buy again
jborkl: Gox is only. . 1/2%
pigeons: at the highest teir 1/2% they go lower
gesell: jborkl: the spread of a bunch of exchange fees here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AguYZ5-dWMgfdElhakdHQzhiQXp5emctdjZTNG9qaEE&gid=2
jborkl: Yeah, I know.. I don't see that as expensive
mircea_popescu: "Coincidentally, my office was, literally, across the street from the registered address of BFL at the time. It turned out to be an apartment complex, as BFL was a start up and did not have an actual office at the time."
mircea_popescu: lmao. his office was next to the projects
mircea_popescu: but NOT INSIDE THEM!!!1
mircea_popescu: guess the author.
pigeons: plus the risk of keeping your money at these exchnges is not neglible
mjr_: yes, i plan on using bitfloor to get bitcoins and send them to my wallet right away
jborkl: No, gox is the one I use for that reason
jborkl: Yes I mean
gesell: pigeons: i think im missing the "you didnt make prof until you buy again". sorry i feel stupid here but could you explain why i have to buy again. i took cash, put it in btc, got cash back + %2, and one week later got that cash in my hand
pigeons: no bitfloor risk is pretty bad, some people think thye are only operating to get enenough to run away again

I swear, many times ive seen bots respond to my bid, in less than <500ms latency. Im convinced the owners of the exchange have a bot at play on the exchange to keep prices close to mtgox or level or i do

mircea_popescu: but let's spam irc
Namworld: oh
mircea_popescu: It's like they want to scare away anyone serious about using Bitcoins as a currency, I wonder how much longer that woman who runs the (last standing) trading platform will put up with their dumb poo poo. She's hardly some great pillar of sanity since she's all wrapped up in Bitcoins too but she seems to be trying to be serious about things yet they want to shout her down. I am guessing it is because she is a woman.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu, who runs MPOE, is a guy. The MPOE-PR woman was accused of being his sock, but I think she just does all the English-language business for him (he's Romanian).
mircea_popescu: Unless there is no Mircea and it's just that lady doing a "Remington Steele" thing, only instead of private eye poo poo it's Internet porn/Bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: Agree that two of the smartest posters on there are women: MPOE-PR and repentance.
mircea_popescu: VvvV. Also people mock MPOE because it's a subforum of a porn site. Go over and look at it; it's kind of crappy looking despite MPOE-PR's general good sense. Presumably someone else handles the web implementation.
mircea_popescu: The brilliant Bitcoin detectives thought that there was only one person who was a guy (Mircea, which is a guy's name in Romanian) and he was just using a lady's picture as a sock. I am willing to believe they got it exactly backwards, and that she just made up "Mircea Popescu" as a sock.
mircea_popescu: Oh well if it's two people then that's interesting. Some of the people on that forum did some internet detectiving and came to the conclusion that it's all one person but then again these are not the brightest people we are talking about...
mircea_popescu: What a beautiful twist it would be if the last trading platform that didn't collapse or turn into a scam which is run more like an actual real one than a teenage dream out of the basement is run by a woman. Because they mock her, ostracize her and blame her at every turn possibly because they can't handle a girl running a service for them.
mircea_popescu: Still, possibly the most legit bitcoin trading site they will ever get and yet they want this one to fai
Namworld: The forum says so... but most around assets channels seems to support MPEx
mircea_popescu: well, sa stuff. to be taken with a grain fo salt.

mircea_popescu: eh ?
mircea_popescu: details!
Bowjob: http://launch.avalon-asics.com/#prices

bowjob: i did not see this dump coming.. wow fuck.

mircea_popescu: o hey. going down ?
bowjob: someone dumped a lot of btc
bowjob: I had 80 BTC set aside for Asic.. in case it goes down a bit.. but not this much!
bowjob: I'm not sure if the price includes shipping or not.
bowjob: well.. mhm
bowjob: id hate to sell some dice shares
assbot: [MPEX] [O.BTCUSD.P200T] 800 @ 0.20664775 = 165.3182 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: how much is the new avalon ?!
mircea_popescu: wasn't it supposed to be 1200 ?
bowjob: 1499
bowjob: 1299 for first batch, 1499 for a slightly upgraded one
bowjob: im confident bfl wont pull their heads out of their asses, some delay will happen again
bowjob: and avalon will ship batch no 2 before bfl
mircea_popescu: maybe so.
mircea_popescu: ;;calc 1499 / 19.83
gribble: 75.5925365608
bowjob: I expect around 58 TH by the time i get mine
mircea_popescu: ovr 80 with shipping ?
bowjob: I'm not sure how much the shipping is gonna be..
mircea_popescu: bowjob i have serious doubts about avalon. so far as best we can determine they have not delivered.
mircea_popescu: it's Feb 2. three weeks later. shipping takes 3 weeks for EVERYONE in a 300 order batch ?
bowjob: well, out of all the asic producers, only avalon produced a real asic so far, that makes them more credible than anyone else
mircea_popescu: more credible than anyone else, yes.
bowjob: the no refunds part make sense.. they need the order the parts right away
bowjob: as for BTC.. isnt what what we want? for BTC to be used
mircea_popescu: that's not the point tho.
mircea_popescu: the point is that until they delvier batch 1 you can't tell whether they do or don't deliver at all.
mircea_popescu: putting together 2 units out of a 300 unit run is not the same as having made 300 units.
bowjob: mhm, yes i see that.
bowjob: i dont think waiting is really an option.. that 600 unit order will get eaten
bowjob: in half an hour
Ukerz: they mean until next order
Ukerz: psycho: you do?
Ukerz: how many units were in batch 1 ?
bowjob: 20 mins for 300 ASICs back in september.. now that they have actually shipped 2 units, it could be 10 minutes, actually
bowjob: gosh, basic.. have you seen the letter?
bowjob: the slanderous note on Basic's site.
bowjob: how could you be so anti avalon when basic looks even worse
mircea_popescu: i am not buying any asics.
bowjob: yet you bought 3?
mircea_popescu: me ?!
bowjob: Psychotic
mircea_popescu: a nm
bowjob: I'd consider Avalon to be a 1/6 confirmation phase.
bowjob: I'll look into what delays the shipment, see if I can get any answers from Yifu before they go on sale
bowjob: Well, owning S.Dice shares is like owning ASICs.. and I have some of those
bowjob: I'm currently long BTC, long S.Dice 50/50 split. I'd rather not disrupt that ratio.. and I took the Avalon into account
mircea_popescu: i don't see how sdice and asics would be similar investments.
mircea_popescu: sdice is, theoretically at least, bound to have slowly rising returns
mircea_popescu: asics are, again theoretically, bound to have huge returns early
mircea_popescu: then taper off
bowjob: I meant the price appreciation over the past month. ^
mircea_popescu: exactly opposite sort of curves
bowjob: the dividends are just cherry on top
bowjob: For instance, I got some at xx48, price is now xx73 ... thats like having lots of asics mining and appreciating on value
bowjob: im on the "BFL won't ship before march 1st" crowd..
mircea_popescu: a.
mircea_popescu: well then... you stand to make whatever portion of 700 btc
mircea_popescu: o, also : http://trilema.com/2013/lets-make-it-one-giant-puzzle/

evoorhees: hey all
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1009 re-doing that would be a worthy exercise ☟︎
mircea_popescu: may 2012 is right before s.dice started to move, among other things
evoorhees: SD dividend is about to launch
mircea_popescu: heya!
evoorhees: DONE
mircea_popescu: MPEx ‏@MPEx1
mircea_popescu: S.DICE paid a total dividend of 2`000.73731948 BTC to 10`000`000 outstanding shares. #dividend #bitcoin #btc #stocks
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla assbot gotta do dividends again
ShaTwo: evoorhees: Congratulation! Amazingly done!
mjr_: Very very nice evoorhees
evoorhees: thanks guys
mjr_: so great to see such a success story...and i think the future looks even brighter
evoorhees: I think the most exciting thing is that this rediculous numbers will get the attention of established gambling sites, and they will no longer ignore bitcoin
mjr_: yes exactly
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: working on it ☟︎☟︎
ShaTwo: They got my attention a few months back...
ShaTwo: When they were not even as big.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but most BTC users will ignore the results, even more firmly than they ignored Shamir's.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good, then i can point out why the theory is nonsense on fresh data.
mircea_popescu: and most btc users matter in the sense most los angeles self-styled actresses matter.
mjr_: this is like the matrix...i can only imagine (if the asics turn out to be widespread) just how many petaflops we will reach
mircea_popescu: petaflops is really a measure of floating point computation
mjr_: this is the biggest distributed computing project in human history i imagine
mircea_popescu: sha hashing is integer computation
mjr_: yes
mircea_popescu: the two aren't really all that interchangeable
mjr_: yeah
mircea_popescu: we just do it because we're very lazy
mjr_: terahashes is what matter
mjr_: but it is nice to see how this compares to boinc or seti@home etc
mircea_popescu: nice is one way to put it. from what i've seen in sa's digests, it burns some people
mjr_: how would the cray titan do at hashing?
mjr_: and i don't really care about sa...
mircea_popescu: not very well.
mjr_: rationality says i bet with my money and they bet with theirs...the outcome will be objective
mircea_popescu: what, you're at war or something ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: care to say why the theory is nonsense?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 5 @ 0.875 = 4.375 BTC [+]
mjr_: huh? not at war...but when two people disagree, they bet on the outcome, the winner wins...in pure rational economics...which this isn't
mircea_popescu: not worth it on the old data set. get a fresh one.
mircea_popescu: mjr_ now that's true
mjr_: well, its overly simplified, but yes, if btc hits a thousand or even 40 we objectively chose correctly
mjr_: and they objectively didn't
mircea_popescu: 20 is actually good enough already.
mjr_: i agree
mjr_: but i don't think they would be able to be as smug at 40....
mjr_: i don't see how they could talk about it at all
mjr_: without being extremely mad at themselves for understanding bitcoins, but then choosing to reject
mjr_: that's the sad part is that they know more about it than a lot of users
mircea_popescu: not everyone is profit motivated.
mircea_popescu: in fact, most people who spend a lot of time on forums aren't.
mjr_: good point...
mjr_: also a great point
mircea_popescu: if they were, they'd do real work rather than the sort of boring nonsense that lends itself to foruming
mjr_: but even in matters of debate
mjr_: which they do care about
mjr_: the real world bears out theories or doesn't
mjr_: so their theory will look stupid (moreso than now)
mjr_: and that is something they would care about
mircea_popescu: not really. there's not an objective standard of proof, especially not for people who aren't interested in seeing certain result sets.
mjr_: i guess...
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11300 @ 0.00067641 = 7.6434 BTC [-]
mjr_: it is very insular, and they probably won't look at any data that disagrees with their preconceived notion
mjr_: what is the command here to look at sdice bid/ask?
mircea_popescu: if you read through it appears obvious what the actual problems they identify with bitcoin are
mircea_popescu: "fygm", for instance, is quite telling.
mircea_popescu: they dislike the fact bitcoin will necessarily bring down the welfare state.
mjr_: yeah, they conflate "people like to scam people" with "bitcoin is an instrument of scamming"
mircea_popescu: this is a valid criticism, it will. as long as they don't want this to happen, bitcoin is and will remain a bad thing.
mjr_: they must not have ever heard of bernie madoff
mjr_: oh, bitcoin will be very bad for some people
mircea_popescu: right.
mjr_: i thought the argument was "will it succeed", the results of it are different for each person
mircea_popescu: so then, those very people will say bitcoin is very bad. no surprise.
assbot: [BTCTC] [GSDPT] 10 @ 0.0079 = 0.079 BTC [+]
mjr_: i think banks will not like it very much, nor would governments if taken to its logical conclusion...
mjr_: but i don't think that means it won't succeed
mjr_: i would take it seriously, and i would adapt
mircea_popescu: ya well.

mircea_popescu: you send X btc, you receive 9x% of x back 100% of time
mircea_popescu: you take your rake.
mircea_popescu: possibly make it so that inputs sent to that addy are NEVER 0conf'd and as a result they never receive back anything based on the same inputs.

mjr_: also, how would dedicated circuits play into what you were talking about re: phishing
mjr_: i mean, the endpoints are fixed, and don't most banks rely on them, in colocations and carrier hotels?
jurov: dedicated circuits???
mjr_: we get our market data through instinet and sfti...but it is not really over the internet
mjr_: everything goes through a physical point to point connection
mjr_: dedicated circuit...maybe metro ethernet in some cases
mjr_: but typically it is a /29 subnet mask...only 2 addresses anyway
jurov: i don't think mpex will be able to afford laying fiber even to biggest customers in near future
mjr_: lol
mjr_: not have to lay fiber
mjr_: host in a data center where you can cross connect to other people
jurov: but that's tailored to HFT. and MP is quite anti-HFT.
mjr_: just curious, because most big markets and banks do that...so i don't know how phishing can interfere in those cases, obviously customer on online banking website is vulnerable
mjr_: kinda...i think it is mostly for reliabilty and just plain access
mjr_: for example, if you want arca market data...you have to get it from somewhere and typically you do that through a circuit
mircea_popescu: mjr_ a dedicated circuit is vulnerable to splicing
mjr_: yes true
mircea_popescu: in principle, there's two ways to handle things :
mjr_: but not with the same ease as phishing typically
mircea_popescu: either secure the conduit, message agnostic, or secure the message, conduit agnostic.
mircea_popescu: everyone is currently doing the former. i am doing the later
mircea_popescu: and i say it's the Right Thing.
mjr_: well when put that way, conduit agnostic is very much prefferd
mircea_popescu: indeed.
mircea_popescu: https is securing the conduit, ignoring the message. so is dedicated circuit. so is everything done currently pretty much
mircea_popescu: no wonder it doesn't work.
mjr_: yes
mircea_popescu: now, fiber is slightly bettert as a secure conduit, esp if you have quantum verifiers
mjr_: do you think you could build encryption into the nic card and switch/router?
mircea_popescu: (which are epensive tho)
mircea_popescu: but in general, you can't secure a cable.
mjr_: LOL yes they certainly are
mircea_popescu: i would expect that encryption stays with the person.
mircea_popescu: see the next article on the blog about something along those lines.
mjr_: yes, i just mean that typically pgp is not the easiest thing for most people
mjr_: i agree completely that encryption is vital
mjr_: and i think you are doing things the Right Way
mjr_: sometimes the Right Way is also the Hard Way, though, and even though it's well worth the value, adoption rate is important, so making the Right Way easier would be nice
mircea_popescu: <jurov> but that's tailored to HFT. and MP is quite anti-HFT. << im not anti hft. im anti stupidity, which is mostly phantom orders.
mjr_: yes very true
mjr_: i was going to ask about speed of executions...
jurov: mircea, good clarification.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4600 @ 0.00066716 = 3.0689 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: no argument that this is kinda hard, but not so sure it's for a good reason
mjr_: jurov: and if he was against HFT why would he provide API? it's practically the only use for it, besides building a pretty front end (although maybe you mean a slow bot?)
mircea_popescu: i mean... oral sex seems the HARD THING,
mircea_popescu: esp if you're a 1950s housewife
mjr_: yes changing attitudes is tough
mjr_: but inevitable
mircea_popescu: mjr_ the problem with hfts isn't that they're fast. it's that they retroactively change time.
mircea_popescu: as in... this order "wasn't really there sorry".
mircea_popescu: that's bs.
mjr_: total bs, and i don't know how you would do that
mjr_: if you get the ack back...its real
mircea_popescu: ya well give me an example of a hft getting crossed by retail lol.
mjr_: and most exchanges won't bust that trade for you
mircea_popescu: actually, let me dig out this instructive example
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/mpex-and-the-hft-problem/
mircea_popescu: mostly for the quote
mjr_: my favorite usage of HFT was the guy who used the speed of light to his advantage
mjr_: ie. it would take 11ms for any information from NY to reach Chicago
assbot: [MPEX] [S.DICE] 738 @ 0.007395 = 5.4575 BTC [+]
mjr_: so he would have a bot place orders at a very specific time, and then in chicago have orders in place to take advantage of the move he just caused
mjr_: he literally knew the future, because he caused it
mircea_popescu: heh.
mjr_: admittedly only 11ms into the future but in HFT that can be enough
mjr_: quantum arbitrage LOL
mircea_popescu: sounds like stuff to write novels with
mjr_: yeah, by the way
mjr_: your implementation of the solution is already in place
mjr_: ie. delayed cancels
mjr_: dark pools can be very specific about how long you have to wait b4 canceling
mjr_: on one that we use, it's 30 seconds
mjr_: they can also limit which symbols you can use, how much volume, everything
mjr_: in exchange for being able to bypass the bots and in fact the whole order book
mircea_popescu: something lik that, yes
mircea_popescu: how much do they charge ?
mjr_: depends...
mjr_: many times it's around $1 per 1,000
mjr_: with the most expensive being $2.50
mjr_: or somewhere around there
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i lay no claim to genius on the "not instacancellable" part. ffs it's beyond obvious.
mircea_popescu: mjr_ a, no fixed fee to be included ?
mircea_popescu: many darkpools do charge a seat fee.
mjr_: hmmm....you have to negotiate that with the company, and that is usually on a company level of interaction
mjr_: ie. your company offers you access to these routes
mircea_popescu: yeah,
assbot: [MPEX] [S.DICE] 1464 @ 0.007395 = 10.8263 BTC [+]
mjr_: that is the specific area where my company shines...
mjr_: at least somewhat
mjr_: prop trading can't really work without access to liquidity pools
mjr_: good fill rates, cheap fees
mjr_: even though i think scalping is almost dead
mjr_: thanks to something known as "toxic order flow"
mircea_popescu: it dies, it comes back
mircea_popescu: it's like a zombie
mjr_: hahaha
mjr_: what also was interesting is that our system is built by romanians
mjr_: so much respect to the education system there in regards to math and science
mircea_popescu: 5 points (69% like it)

mjr_: ok...
mjr_: two questions, are signup fees accounted for in mpoe, and can you transfer your positions from a broker back to mpex
smickles: yes and yes
mjr_: thanks
mjr_: that is an awesome model
jurov: mjr_, do you already decided on referral?
smickles: well, technically, the fee goes to mpex, but it gets paid to s.mpoe shareholders
mjr_: mirceau_popescu: also, I love how you mention NYSE as underdog
mircea_popescu: mjr_ if you mean accounted for as in, passed ti shareholders, yes. there's a special line in the monthly reports.
mjr_: cool
mjr_: that's what i meant
mircea_popescu: and as to the brokers, you have to ask them, but most everyone does it.
mircea_popescu: not doing it pretty much means bucket shop/fraud
mjr_: because it would be awesome to be able to contribute to a business that you are invested in...signing up helps your actual investment
mjr_: well, i really look forward to wider acceptance, and hopefully larger holdings for me...
smickles: if only a little
mircea_popescu: mjr_ that's the ide
mircea_popescu: a
mjr_: Amadeo Giannini i would like to be like this guy
mjr_: and start lending
mjr_: set up a table on the docks and hand out money
mjr_: it worked out ok for him...
mircea_popescu: not that easy tgo
mjr_: yeah
mjr_: i think what will have to happen is that you will have to use current practices, but denominate loans in btc
malaimo: since you guys are talking about mpex architecture: would be cool to make withdrawals more automated, e.g. as on the exchanges
smickles: hmm, sounds spooky
mjr_: can you not automate that using the API?
mircea_popescu: malaimo i have my doubts about that.
smickles: all withdrawals are manually approved
smickles: malaimo: if you want instant withdrawal, used a broker who provides that
jurov: wow, there actually is one?
smickles: I'm sure there is/are for relatively small amounts
jurov: in coinbr case it's possible but far from guaranteed
smickles: yeah, much depends on the broker's 'off mpex float'
smickles: or the availability of cheap shortterm loans
mjr_: has anyone really started using the advanced bitcoin features?
gesell: i think google is starting to seriously throttle my all my google code since i put the arbitrage spreadsheet on reddit :/
smickles: which ones? mjr_
gesell: grr
mjr_: third party arbitration
mjr_: contracts etc
mjr_: that could be used to form a trust service (maybe against the founding goals, but still, could be useful)
mjr_: like for example...i don't think i have ever read one negative article about mpex or mirceau_popescu
smickles: i think there are a few things which use the m-of-n signature txns, but i've not seen any of the contracts or conditional sends
jurov: they aren't directly supported by satoshi client
smickles: etc
mjr_: so i would say most people would trust him
smickles: < mjr_> like for example...i don't think i have ever read one negative article about mpex or mirceau_popescu <<< lolwut?
mjr_: the closest i ever read was sock puppet on SA..but that wasn't even really saying anything bad
mjr_: ie. no one has ever said he scammed them
mjr_: that i've read on a forum
mjr_: maybe chats i missed here, but i would say he has the equivalent of AAA credit within bitcoin
smickles: there are people who're pissed about the way f.giga.etf went
mjr_: ok, i missed that discussion
smickles: but, yeah, most to all of the 'bad' about mpex/mircea is that mpex looks ugly
smickles: or 'i don't understand why you use gpg'
mjr_: lol, maybe should do more research, but still...within bitcoin who would have the highest "credit rating"
smickles: in not so nice words
mjr_: lol, thats one of my favorite parts of it
mjr_: mpex UI
mjr_: look at reddit
mjr_: craigslist
mjr_: sometimes too much html5 and flash animations just get annoying
mjr_: ooh rounded corners and drop shadow
mjr_: a lot of current websites are very much "form over function"
smickles: the f.giga.etf issue was basically, that the original gigavps asset stopped, and people thought that the mpex listing would take action to acquire the new gigavps
mjr_: what was that company doing? an etf of what?
smickles: and mircea felt that taking action to acquire a new asset when the original one dissolved was outside of the f.gigga.etf contract
smickles: (it wasn't really an etf)
smickles: more like a single asset fund
mjr_: oh ok, i was going to say, i don't see the real point of an etf at the moment
mjr_: within bitcoin, there are only a few legit publicly traded companies you can buy all of them yourself
smickles: mircea's a bit of a word anarchist sometimes

mjr_: mirceau_popescu: upon furthor thought, i think that what you have set up IS the equivalent of a circuit...ie. you can verify communication between you and someone else, but i don't think it could work as a broadcast type message (i may be wrong) if i wanted it to take multiple hops, i would be vulnerable to MitM and phishing right?
mjr_: because only you can make sense of the message, since the message is encrypted...or am i mixing up my OSI model here :)
mjr_: ie PGP works for a point to point conversation, but if you want to make it routable you have to provide more info to the network (not actual content, but destination etc)
mjr_: is this how VPN would work too? unless i'm mistaken, i believe a VPN is encrypted (or can be)

mjr_: right?
mircea_popescu: go ahead, download it.
mircea_popescu: what diff does it make ? you don't have the key for it.
mjr_: yes true
mjr_: and i took a look
mjr_: can't do anything with it
mircea_popescu: so now. if i want to talk to all the users on mpex, i could just post a long file, made out of bits, each encrypted with a user's signature.
mircea_popescu: everyone would only get his own, causwe that's the only one he can decrypt
mjr_: yeah
mircea_popescu: conduit is completely irrelevant
mjr_: true
mjr_: thanks for the explanation
mircea_popescu: this is why you can always trust a mpex "phisher"
mircea_popescu: all he can do is proxy
mjr_: well that is what i meant...what if he doesn't pass on the messsage?
mjr_: or in other words why would he
mircea_popescu: then you know it's not mpex
mjr_: yes, true
mircea_popescu: that's all really.
mircea_popescu: but i don't see many people bothering, no. there's no benefit
mjr_: i think it is a clean and very secure system
mircea_popescu: i think so too.
mjr_: a lot easier than managing vpn's
mjr_: but do those address the issue of people being able to securely send messages?
mircea_popescu: yeah. this would not be feasible if i tried to do it like it;'s currently done in the fiat finance world.

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134024.msg1493309#msg1493309
mircea_popescu: most recent example
smickles: < mjr_> in instances like takin a cab or paying for fast food << in situations like that, some feel it is save enough to accept 0 confirmations
smickles: also, there is one of those 'advanced' features you mentioned earler to solve this
jurov: smickles, not really. that would be akin to city transportation not giving a fuck about security of chip cards
mjr_: thanks smickles, i thought that was a very nice response
smickles: basically, you can create at tx which is for a significant amount (say 10 btc), but only gets approved in small in small bits, (say .1 btc)
mjr_: and good link mirceau
mjr_: i think that is also very true
JohnGalt49ers: you don't need to rely on confirmations when your coins are stored at an exchange
smickles: there are a lot of details, but you can safely accept the small bit part without any confirmation at all
smickles: even unbroadcasted (less than 0 confirms)
mjr_: cool
smickles: it's only been done as 'proof of work', so far as i know tho
mircea_popescu: <jurov> smickles, not really. that would be akin to city transportation not giving a fuck about security of chip cards << which they don't.
JohnGalt49ers: bitcoin can change ownership without transactions within the blockchain
mircea_popescu: course the hidden thing in all of this is that if mpex scales worth a shit everyone can just do push transactions.
smickles: JohnGalt49ers: like via private key transfer? (what I was talking about is more complicated, and a lot more secure than that. I'll see if i can find the link)

pizzaman1337: encrypt it?

pizzaman1337: mod6: just curious, how do you plan on monetizing that? (if at all)
mod6: ate up a bunch of time too, now the code reads in the private key, will ask the user for a passphrase to encrypt the private key with, then that will be used to decrypt when needed to read in the priavte key upon launch. this will be a different passphrase that is used with the PGP private key itself, of course.
