topace_: anyone want to test pushing units from mpex to havelock?
kakobrekla: is it free?
kakobrekla: i dont even have havelock acc thb
kakobrekla: tbh
topace_: yup its free
kakobrekla: this is for arb or what?
topace_: yea, to allow others to get in on the mpex->havelock arbitrage
kakobrekla: cute
topace_: 1) push shares to my fingerprint
Eduard_Munteanu: Cool.
topace_: 2) paste receipt into havelock website
topace_: 3) i manually approve transfer (for now)
topace_: once im sure its working well, ill remove the manual transfer
topace_: or, only require it on very large transfers
kakobrekla: hmmm
kakobrekla: i mean the question here is y u open this at all
kakobrekla: you could just automate it
kakobrekla: i mean
kakobrekla: the arb
kakobrekla: no?
topace_: yea, i could
kakobrekla: well there some money on the table
kakobrekla: theres*
topace_: i think there needs to be a way for people to freely move shares between mpex and the passthru's and maybe even between the passthrus themselves
kakobrekla: ok imma gonna try this
kakobrekla: lets register

topace_: kakobrekla: umm somethings wrong tho.
topace_: my multiple is off
topace_: lol
kakobrekla: hey yeah
topace_: it should have given you 10 shares, not 100
kakobrekla: i was just wondering
topace_: haha
kakobrekla: says 100 on the contract
kakobrekla: still no bbet tho ? :p
topace_: think i might add bbet this week
topace_: and mpoe as well
kakobrekla: the recent tx still shows 100
topace_: just fixed that too
kakobrekla: kk
topace_: well at least there was nothing wrong with the code, i just had the multiple set wrong.
kakobrekla: no way to push back now?
kakobrekla: i mean automagic or smth
topace_: not yet... but thats the easier of the two to code
topace_: give me your fingerprint and ill push em back

kakobrekla: its ok, ima gonna leave em there
topace_: oh okay :)
topace_: ill add the push back form probably tomrrow or tuesday
topace_: it'll be a push request, and manually approved on my side, same as the push in request.. at least until im sure its working 100%
kakobrekla: cool
topace_: gotta go vacuum now, or gf will kill me when she gets home
topace_: ttyl

mircea_popescu: jurov ask them when are they gonna actually get crackin on the actual problems http://trilema.com/2013/bitcoind-not-quite-ready-for-prime-time/
mircea_popescu: buncha fuckwits
jurov: asked about that yest
mircea_popescu: aha ? and ?
jurov: can't remember any concrete outcome
jurov: some discussion about optimized choosing of unspent outputs at most
jurov: i guess you'll end up having to defragment the bitbet wallet occassionally
jurov: to prevent situations
mircea_popescu: so why the fuck are they fixing other people's problems
mircea_popescu: jesus christ these dudes.
mircea_popescu: "o, what needs to be done is too hard, o, we're too stupid, let's do something else instead"
mircea_popescu: psccccchhhh
jurov: lol, i have to make closed source wallet defrag tool.. and sell it for 1BTC. or at least accept donations
mircea_popescu: and have the same dorks whine about how you're ruining bitcoin
mircea_popescu: which they broke
mircea_popescu: i strongly suspect the reason satoshi made himself scarce was that he was getting sick of dealing with the current team of devs.

Eduard_Munteanu: BTW, how do you manage shares traded on your exchange? I hear asicminer people had to do some manual bookkeeping. Do you keep an exchange-local tab?
Eduard_Munteanu: But then I suppose you can't trade shares outside the exchange.
jurov: Eduard_Munteanu, you asking mircea?
Eduard_Munteanu: Anyone. :)
jurov: he already admitted he has girls for that
Eduard_Munteanu: Heh.
jurov: and yes, the shares don't go outside exchange. this is why we have all these passthroughs
mircea_popescu: an exchange is an exchange, it has a trade engine
Eduard_Munteanu: Ideally shares could work like BTC, I wonder if that's possible.
mircea_popescu: what friedcat is doing is inhuman
mircea_popescu: but i guess people gotta try it out.
mircea_popescu: Eduard_Munteanu that's not ideal. it's actually a bad idea. the horse has been discussed to death
Eduard_Munteanu: Hm.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 5 @ 0.61 = 3.05 BTC [-]
Eduard_Munteanu: But isn't there a crypto way to accomplish the same thing, perhaps different than BTC? You still need exchanges.
Eduard_Munteanu: If this has been discussed on the forums, I'd be glad to read those threads.
Eduard_Munteanu: Unlike BTCs, shares are by definition centralized I suppose.
Eduard_Munteanu: At least wrt how they're issued.

mircea_popescu: Bitcoin Pride Stats
mircea_popescu: Feb 2013: Income: $2,200 USD Profit: $1,186.00 USD
mircea_popescu: (Selling was halted during the month of Feb. to change payment methods.)
mircea_popescu: Jan 2013: Income: $3,270 USD Profit: $2,218.35 USD
mircea_popescu: Dec 2012: Income: $4,521.75 USD Profit: $3,784.00 USD
mircea_popescu: Bitcoin pride averages a 70% profit. Don't you want a piece of the pie too?
mircea_popescu: wait, their income went from 4.5 to 3.2 then 2.2 ?!
mircea_popescu: who was saying they've eaten up their market earlier ? they had a point it seems
BitHub: so they're losing money each month?
mircea_popescu: well, losing incom
mircea_popescu: still showing a (growing) profit
mircea_popescu: i've never seen that sort of dynamic before.
kakobrekla: hm
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: I see the problem. Still, wouldn't an exchange / market-maker be able to eliminate all those delays for things traded within the exchange? Not sure how one'd deal with double spending if you don't wait for confirmations.
kakobrekla: the formula it seems is Income( rand() ) - 1 grand = profit
mircea_popescu: Eduard_Munteanu by keeping a central book, obviously.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla unless the sqrt log guy has a better solution, i think you're spot on.
kakobrekla: ;))
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: yes. And committing changes to the blockchain periodically. The exchange is still pretty important, but at least you can move stuff between exchanges in a standard way.
mircea_popescu: you ALREADY can do that.
mircea_popescu: mpex issues push receipts.
Eduard_Munteanu: Hm.
Eduard_Munteanu: Actually yeah, that kinda solves the entire issue.
Eduard_Munteanu: Not sure about OTC trading, but presumably you could do it manually somehow.
Eduard_Munteanu: Using your receipts.
mircea_popescu: if you can do it automatically like topace is trying you necessarily can do it manually too
Eduard_Munteanu: Indeed.
mircea_popescu: the way asicminer is playing this game makes me scratch my head.
mircea_popescu: so they're pointedly not coming to be listed on mpex, jump through the hoops and get my ok.
mircea_popescu: instead they're waiting for btct/bf/others run passthroughs
mircea_popescu: obviously there's no contract involved there.
mircea_popescu: now what happens if six months down the road friedcat pulls a gigavps ?
mircea_popescu: Ukto, burnside and whoever else involved gets scammer tags ? or what ?
Eduard_Munteanu: You're saying they're intentionally delaying listing on MPEx?
mircea_popescu: i'm saying they're either through sheer incompetence, sheer lack of resources or by actually being frauds behave just like a fraud would.
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm not understanding something.
Eduard_Munteanu: IDK, getting listed should've been negotiated even before the IPO, in my opinion. People have to have some way to buy / sell those stocks easily.
mircea_popescu: sure.
mircea_popescu: moreover, they've liquidity-trapped their "investors"
Eduard_Munteanu: Yeah.
mircea_popescu: which is something you really don't want to do
dub: whats liquidity?
dub: sound slike something to do with selling shares
dub: which is, as we know, not how you invest!
mircea_popescu: o ok
mircea_popescu: welcome back among the living

mircea_popescu: wow, eskimobob actually published a readable balance.
dub: wat
dub: oh right, where he lists bitcoins: he is counting litecoins
mircea_popescu: converted at an unspecified rate etc.\
mircea_popescu: still, i had no idea ltc tanked that bad in btc
pigeons: yeah as btc was going up, ltc was going down to track the dollar and stay at .07 usd rather than stay at a ratio to btc
mircea_popescu: otoh lct seems all set for bubble territory.
dub: bfl realy do deserve some kind of award
mircea_popescu: since btc folks love a good bubble...
dub: they should be held up as a shining example of how to fail at pr
mircea_popescu: nah, coinlab is the shining example of how to fail at pr.
pigeons: we brought bitcoin to wall street in silicon valley
mircea_popescu: "drunk whore stumbles into wallstreet bar, announces she's brining the clap to wall street"
dub: im not sure if hiring inaba or letting your userbase add content at a yourdomain.com/blog/ url IS DUMBER
dub: it took quite a few moments to decipher that I was not actually reading an official bfl blog
mircea_popescu: hm
mircea_popescu: truth be told those are pretty good too

BitHub: well maybe not out of business
BitHub: what i want to bet on this being a huge fail
dub: theres only $633 worth of whiskey listed here, I don't think thats accurate
mircea_popescu: hm, actually hungary, might be worth a visit.
dub: I recall at least 4 bottles that where brought from home
BitHub: oh that's cool
BitHub: wish i live near hungary
Bowjob: if its legit, I'll fly over there to pick a couple of them
BitHub: i would sell my car today and go get one tomorrow
Bowjob: I don't know the price yet
mircea_popescu: i could be in budapest literally by sunup
mircea_popescu: but meh... worth it ?

BitHub: better not touch my pet tiger
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: the idea that you need a permit for stuff is certainly new here
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, permits.
BitHub: bit of a long shot but would anyone be able to help me out and send one of those to Australia?
mircea_popescu: this stuff is a mess to export
BitHub: yeah thats true
BitHub: customs will probably take it and start mining themselves
BitHub: pricks
mircea_popescu: yeah
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: You are beginning to see some of the strange contradictory nature of the asicminer people, I think, that I've been complaining about for months.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic perhaps. what specifically ?
mircea_popescu: o, asicminer not asic miners. yeah.
dub: why is it a mess to export?
dub: its a computer, we have been shipping these around the place for a wee while now
mircea_popescu: dub ya well, maybe it's a bomb
dub: customs can test for bombliness
mircea_popescu: maybe it's a nuclear bomb producing item
mircea_popescu: maybe it'll fuck their mothers.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: You mentioned earlier that they are behaving fraudulently-like.. This is permeating more than just the way they are handling their stocks, but elsewhere as well, and it's troubling because unethical people in their position, could conceivably have done a much larger order to start with than what they are reporting, and the attraction of doing double-spends is quite large if, indeed, the evidence is correct when
midnightmagic: it points to short-term thinking.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic well, i don't know the whole thing, but from this angle it looks more like they're clueless/haven't been thinking things through/haven't slept in weeks
mircea_popescu: tho its quite possible they're ill intended too, sure.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I would be very interested to hear from you if you discover that they aren't just clueless, but seemingly deliberately clueless.
dub: they are chinese
midnightmagic: Or if you begin to make observations that suggest it is not pure ignorance.
mircea_popescu: i'll certinly say something
mircea_popescu: but so far my belief is they just don't understand finance
mircea_popescu: which is in fact common so.
midnightmagic: dub: And yet ngzhang is one of the most ethical businesspeople I've seen in a long time.
mircea_popescu: i dun think chineseness has much to do with anything
dub: midnightmagic: I'll assume you're being facetious?
midnightmagic: dub: Being Chinese doesn't really mean much.
midnightmagic: dub: I am not. ngzhang is extremely ethical, or else Icarus wouldn't exist.
dub: lets deal with teh first question, my mind is somewhat boggling
mircea_popescu: there's plenty of scummy americans, iranians, turks and eskimos in this world
mircea_popescu: and plenty of trustworthy same etc.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Eskimos don't like being called Eskimos. :)
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: well whatever, inuits. northern russian people.
dub: midnightmagic: this is the the same dude involved in avalon right? the 'we shipped' guy
midnightmagic: dub: The "we shipped and they're sitting in customs at the beginning of CNY." and also , "Geez, with all this negativity, maybe we'll just be quiet until there's actually something to talk about." guys..
midnightmagic: dub: Also the latest update, "Rest of the units will have been shipped by around Mar 10, everyone should have batch #1 in hand by about mid-March" people.
dub: pitty they're not 'here are the tracking numbers' people though really
dub: anyway, being chinese decreases ones ability to think strategically and reason counterfactually
dub: this is a genetic/language thing thats been done to death
midnightmagic: ... I can't actually tell if you're serious.
midnightmagic: If you're jerking my chain, your delivery is too dry.
dub: im not, try meeting some chinese people
dub: I hear there are a couple up your way
midnightmagic: And how do you know I'm not Chinese origin?
dub: we'll I don't but based on past discussions I think its rather unlikely
dub: you are far too empathetic for one
kakobrekla: https://twitter.com/BitBets
kakobrekla: https://twitter.com/BitBetsBets
midnightmagic: dub: I'm at a loss here to meaningfully discuss this with you. I don't know where to start. If you're serious, I'm fairly sure we are so alien that there is basically no common ground on which to meaningfully converse for this topic.
kakobrekla: fyi
dub: anyway, if you remove any racist overtones you have automatically inferred, it explains a lot about the comms we've seen from avalon and asicminer
kakobrekla: no spam.
midnightmagic: dub: I haven't called you a racist yet.
dub: midnightmagic: you're gettign there, its par for the course with you (you'd make a terrible anthropologist)
midnightmagic: dub: Is it now. I'm.. glad you're paying such close attention to my activity that you think you have me pegged.
kakobrekla: ZOMG https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93445.msg1580072#msg1580072
dub: midnightmagic: I don't really have time to go through this, there is quite a bit of literature out there
kakobrekla: During the BDT experience, because i was very concerned about the high interest bond and the lack of supporting high revenues i've made the decision (unethical, possibly illegal) to repurpose some of the funds raised with the IPO.
kakobrekla: Those funds were invested through some chinese partners of mine in asic equipment.
assbot: [BTCTC] [GSDPT] 5 @ 0.0059 = 0.0295 BTC [+]
midnightmagic: dub: Much of the literature usually cited to conclude such things has been thoroughly debunked, so perhaps someday when you're willing to cite, after making such assertions, I'd be glad to read and evaluate such studies.
dub: midnightmagic: regarding the chinese, not your culteral naivety
dub: yes, well I'm more of an experience guy than a take debunkment at face value guy. Dorkins calls it the belief gene, though I don't really believe it exists.
midnightmagic: dub: Making negative assertions about the person you are having a discussion with is not usually productive. I'm readjusting my evaluation of your random, seemingly-connected comments post-statement.
dub: midnightmagic: its an observation grounded in experience, not a negative assertion
midnightmagic: dub: I'm fairly sure your evaluation of my cultural "naivete" is based on incomplete data.
midnightmagic: dub: Also, if you are an experience guy, then why are you pointing to external data as the foundation of your assertions rather than just your experience?
dub: midnightmagic: thats easy, it closely mirrors what I have observed
mircea_popescu: <dub> this is a genetic/language thing thats been done to death << it's not genetic, it's cultural.
midnightmagic: dub: I'll presume you are aware of the notion of confirmation bias.
mircea_popescu: whoop, you just did it :D
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> Those funds were invested through some chinese partners of mine in asic equipment. <<< ahaha epic
dub: midnightmagic: and I'f I were a victim of that would I need to have read about this before or after observing it?
midnightmagic: dub: ALl that's required is that you reject well-grounded studies that disagree with your opinion, while selecting out those studies which agree with it or reinforce it in some fashion.
dub: I guess at some point, some people like to actually form an opinion
midnightmagic: dub: Sure, course. Nothing wrong with an opinion so long as data can update it.
dub: the problem is you can likely produce data to refute any opinion as can I
midnightmagic: dub: Lots of people think that, but it is also possible to assess the quality of the data. So, IMO, no, it's not possible to find quality data which refutes any opinion.
midnightmagic: dub: Or rather, it's not possible for me..
dub: i'd like to continue this and know it looks like weasling out
dub: but im not in a meeting, on teh phone, and working to a thight deadline
dub: /snot/now
midnightmagic: I'm sorry you think that. You should realise that the implication is that I am aserting my mind can be changed.
dub: and typing without looking at my screen
midnightmagic: Unlike most people, I am not interested (this time) in simply honing my ability to refute. If and when you come up with actual cites, I'd be happy to look them up. I still have fulltext research credentials at the local university.

BitHub: hmm
dub: midnightmagic: a little while ago there was a conversation where you appeared to be floored by the notion that in some locations/cultures the base assumption of a strangers actions being altruistic was false
Eduard_Munteanu: I wonder if bitcoiners are going to experiment with different governance rules / contracts than you usually see in the real world. Which is usually majority of shares.
midnightmagic: dub: I was floored by the fact that it was so *in that specific locale*.
dub: midnightmagic: its not the only time you have appeared to me to base your arguments around a world view couched in priviledged western culture
Eduard_Munteanu: I guess mircea_popescu pledges to be the benevolent dictator of MPEx forever, after reading a bit through the contract.

Eduard_Munteanu: Hmm, you know... they also said underground resources belong to the state... wouldn't surprise me if they deem Bitcoin mining a national resource as well. :)
mircea_popescu: that'll be very much their problem entirely.
BitHub: lul and these girls are your friends and you just hang out wtih them?
mircea_popescu: BitHub im hung so i hang.

midnightmagic: I really never thought Avalon would beat them all to the punch like this.
midnightmagic: I threw some orders at them just for the appreciation of their work with Icarus.

mircea_popescu: who pays 4 btc for that ?!
Lyspooner: caffeinewriter
burnside: <mircea_popescu> now what happens if six months down the road friedcat pulls a gigavps ? -- I think we would have to do the AML paperwork.
mircea_popescu: burnside i'm just saying, you are underwriting a lot of risk that you can't control.
burnside: definitely. thus the disclaimers in the contract.
mircea_popescu: thus also the liquidity disparity.
burnside: I'm more worried about their competition beating them out though than I am about friedcat running off.
mircea_popescu: it's not your fault, best i can see, just asicminer acting very weird.
burnside: Yeah, I can't figure out if it's the lack of sleep, or what.
dub: what is the weird acting?
mircea_popescu: dub baiscally they choked their investors by refusing to list to the point that people out of sheer desperations made private pts
mircea_popescu: now one of the most promising ipos of the year so far has been reduced to a 70 btc opening day.
dub: oh right
Namworld: god, why did I sold all these ASICMINER shares for 0.40 =/
dub: Namworld: want to buy some?
dub: 0.7 :)
mircea_popescu: lol
Namworld: no, not buying
mircea_popescu: Namworld the girl said .75 to 1.5
mircea_popescu: why don't you listen to the girl ? :D
Namworld: I sold some time ago? Before she even said anything I believe.
mircea_popescu: a well then there's your answer !
mircea_popescu: you sold earlier.
burnside: tbh tho, 0.4 is still 4x what you got 'em for, no?
mircea_popescu: i think he paid a little premium
burnside: not a bad return on ~6 months?
ZedsterX: i want to buy some but banks are too slow
Namworld: Also if Friedcat had shares trading again after GLBSE closed you would probably have been able to buy back my ASICMINER cheap to fill that short contract.
mircea_popescu: Namworld at any point between october and january they could have listed and been tip top shape
mircea_popescu: all through february and still acceptable
dub: mircea_popescu: so in reality your 'acting weird' could simply be explained by, inability to strategize
mircea_popescu: but march is already dropping the ball.
mircea_popescu: dub that is acting weird.
dub: to you maybe
dub: to me its just acting chinese
burnside: doh
mircea_popescu: i've not fucked enough chinese girls to have a clue so far.

Anduck: Namworld: how much they're paying now?
mircea_popescu: Anduck they paid like 2% or something like that.
mircea_popescu: 2.5% mebbe
Namworld: ASICMINER already sent a first payment?
dub: yes
mircea_popescu: in other news, mpex db dump has been optimized to take up less space. nothing's broken, it's just naturally halfsized.
mircea_popescu: Namworld yes.
mod6: sweet!
Anduck: mircea_popescu: yeah they paid 0.025 btc/share
Anduck: or smth like that
Namworld: hmm... If you had bought back then 10k USD of bitcoins at 5 USD each for 2k BTC

Anduck: couldnt do it urself???
Namworld: and bought 20k ASICMINER (10k USD). You'd now have 20k x 0.65 BTC = 13 000 BTC worth
Anduck: yup
Anduck: =)
Namworld: or close to half a million dollar at today's prices
Anduck: i was lucky
mircea_popescu: Namworld no. things don't scale like that. you'd have ~70 btc's worth of shares and 12930 btc worth of paper & dreams.
Anduck: i bought asicminer with all my glbse stack xD
Namworld: mircea: I'm only evaluating current trading price.
Anduck: but -really- they buy asicminer for 0.65?? =D
Anduck: I LIKE THAT
mircea_popescu: ya but you'r extrapolating a little out of band
Namworld: As long as ASICMINER keeps up like that.
mircea_popescu: Anduck i think if you push burnside your stocks you get the pt and can trade
Namworld: Probably achievable.
Namworld: You could sell part for your initial 2k BTC no problem tho.
ThickAsThieves: you can push to Deadterra on BF too, he's free, and takes 0% of divs
Anduck: nah i dont wanna trade, mp
mircea_popescu: no Namworld. if asicminer keeps up like it's currently doing it'll go to shit.
