mjr_: cuda is the language i believe
guruvan: (though, I haven't run the numbers @ current diff & exchange rate)
mjr_: are they the tesla's?
guruvan: (either way it's all nvidia IIRC)
mjr_: cuz tesla's are dope (except for mining)
mjr_: for science though, they are awesome
mjr_: 1 teraflop at your workstation...that is kinda sick you have to admit (unless you want to mine)
guruvan: proper sentence construction is pretty lost on most people too

nanotube: mircea_popescu: re: sun - the solar radius is about .005 AU, and the coronal edge is about 2 solar radii away from sun surface, according to my googling. so .01 AU for light to get from photosphere to coronal edge.
nanotube: heh well, it's not particularly well defined or particularly smooth... but it was a good enough number to use as the 'closest thing to the sun other than mercury :)
nanotube: because saying 'mercury' every time it's 0 would be silly.
nanotube: mercury is about 200 light-seconds away from the sun.
nanotube: hehe well, it does 'closest object'. and there's really nothing between coronal edge (.01 au) and mercury (.39 au)
nanotube: so until it gets to like .2 au, closest thing will be .01

unbalanced__: There's no "naked short selling" in BTC-land, is there?
Diablo-D3: you can either go long, or buy USD.
unbalanced__: Right, I should have spoken in terms of puts/calls.
unbalanced__: So if someone wants to bet on a down draft, they could buy puts.
unbalanced__: Do I buy the puts with BTC? So even if the puts do well, they're just a hedge on my BTC losses?
unbalanced__: Ah, imagine an extreme case of putting all your BTC into puts.
unbalanced__: BTC goes down... the puts go up... but they're denominated in BTC. So it's a wash. Or at least the river meeting the ocean?
mircea_popescu: you buy 1k puts struck at 100. these cost you .1 each, so you pay 100 btc
mircea_popescu: price goes to 50. your puts are now worth 2k btc. you've made 20x
Bugpowder: You can basically hedge your position
Bugpowder: by buying around 20% of your nut in puts
mircea_popescu: yeah. if you go over that you're basically leveraging into a short.

mircea_popescu: a whale doesn't have any particular interest in fighting the tape.

bgupta: sure but those are like gox +/- XX%, no?
bgupta: private traders, sounds interesting..
mircea_popescu: but yes, mtgox does have an overextended and unjustified impact on price formation.
bgupta: for a site that is prety broken..
bgupta: well, it's like otc, not an exchange.
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> the exchange market is roughly half tho, otc is pretty big <<<

ChaangNoi: a lotof btc transactions happen outside of an exchange, ihave not use an exchange in well over a year (other than btc-e for ltc)
mjr_: yeah, the bitcoin atm will prob do very well at extending that trend
bgupta: I don't plan to use btc/fiat echanges any time soon, at least not gox.. as I'm in US and the whole rcoinlab thing seems a shame

mjr_: and so far its been good to me, though YMMV
bgupta: well as soon as I convert to fiat, it's subject to trading taxes.. and coinlab reports.
mjr_: that's why i said bitfloor
mjr_: AND...it is worth paying taxes if the money is right
bgupta: at least from my current reading of the rules… staying in btc means that I am not subject to taxes.
bgupta: I was actually wondering if it would work to setup a subsidiary of a US company to do the trading.. and report the profits overseas in a low tax environment.
mjr_: mircea_popescu: you were one of the first to offer financial company news over twitter, lol SEC agrees
bgupta: (Assuming there are profits of course)

bgupta: mircea_popescu: Do you find bitcoincharts down a lot or is this unusal?
bgupta: no better quote source that's more stable?
mircea_popescu: it's a pointless dog to chase atm, we have much bigger problems
mircea_popescu: for instance. broken code, delusive geeks, mtgox going down
mircea_popescu: the newsfeed going down in all this is cosmetic, what's the value of it being up if gox lag is on the 1.2AU level ?
bgupta: delusive as in deceitful?
bgupta: ah, the english word I would use is delusionary.. delusive, is more like deceitful.
mircea_popescu: take the recent fork disaster. it being passed off as a great success, what's that ?
mircea_popescu: claiming miners vote and thus there's legitimity, what's that ?
bgupta: eh, they dodged a bullet, (IE: were lucky) and Bitcoin foundation chief made losing fork folks whole. And they figured out how to avoid issue in future.
bgupta: I supose it has it's bad and good. broken code got fixed… bad that broken code existed for so long, even though people knew about it
bgupta: the loss of distributed mining is a big issue
bgupta: (I agree with you there)
mircea_popescu: Schadenfreude iof we believe the frenchies (ie, no funds lost) then the brazil thing is way weorse.
mircea_popescu: the longer chain was sunk by collusion between people. this is hallmark centralisation.
Schadenfreude: Any estimate on how much money was lost in the brazil incident?
TradeFortress: strangely how it went down after me & a few members requested large withdrawls.
mircea_popescu: Schadenfreude probably in the millions from what people were saying. no idea.
mircea_popescu: bgupta i agree that a correctly functioning bitcoin would have been fucked in that situation, and so "good" that it was broken.
TradeFortress: srsly, "You will get the bitcoins tommorow", tommorow -> site down, 'hacked'
TradeFortress: about 400 btc total was the withdrawls I know of, but I'm not sure how much coins were lost in bitcoinrain
bgupta: mircea_popescu: You are correct I don't understand.. I only understand the technical issue with the fork, not the economic or social implications.. is there a more theorough analysis out there?
mircea_popescu: but logically thinking : bitcoin is sold as being decentralised, right ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3900 @ 0.00069537 = 2.7119 BTC [+]
mjr_: collusion is not the same as centralization though the effects can be similar
troc: the colluding parties are still separate entitites, and may not collude in perpetuity ?
mircea_popescu: the case was quite plain central planning : devs said do x, pool op did x.
mjr_: yes, that is the difference, but also...you could say that everyone buying bitcoins is "colluding" to raise the price, all our actions are working towards the same goal
mjr_: or you could say that 51% of voters colluded to elect the candidate they prefer
mircea_popescu: mjr_ but to make that work in the case at hand, parish head told people to vote for x, they did.
mjr_: if the bitcoin foundation could have unilaterally negated the fork...centralization
mircea_popescu: mjr_ it's not they could have. they in fact did. (and not the bitcoin foundation either, that's an irrelevant little scam by now)
mjr_: well...the fact that the choice remained with them means that you may get centralization in effect, but not in cause
mircea_popescu: you have to presume some choice was made. i have my doubts those heads were working.
mjr_: i just mean that you could have lobbied for the longer chain...or miners who wanted to continue that path could have
mircea_popescu: the btc guild guy made a choice that cost his miners ~1-2k btc
mjr_: so in the end, whoever can convince the most people will change the course of history...par for the course
mircea_popescu: so it still doesn't escape the central planning issue.
mjr_: but i think they took into account the fact that a fork could have damaged their long term gains into account
mjr_: i don't know, they could have been sheepishly following
mjr_: but that is their choice
mjr_: and they earn the right to do so by having the mining power
mjr_: oh i agree its a problem
mircea_popescu: i am just trying to delineate the heavier problems we face,
mjr_: but at the end of the day, "the market decides" and it decides to follow gavin i guess
mjr_: and everyone who chooses to use a pool
mjr_: specifically that pool
mjr_: you can solo mine...
bgupta: well you can chose a particular pool...
mjr_: now with asics i think you will see more solo mining
troc: even reddit is aware of the dangers of too few and big pools
bgupta: and when deepbit got close to 50% a bunch of miners left
mircea_popescu: obviously as market matures, idiots get pushed out, more money more competence etc stuff will improve.
mjr_: also...at the end of the day, miners, and all bitcoin users do rely on the software used to run the network

mircea_popescu: TradeFortress ok but it creatges this pernicious "listen to us and we'll insulate you ferom marketplace effects". it's how clinton destroyed the us banking sector
mircea_popescu: now the dems don't want to sell their own houses wives and daughters to pay for it

mjr_: no probably bitfloor or bitinstant

mjr_: every person buying one bitcoin not only gets one bitcoin they also create a positive externality

mjr_: like saying every person who works a minimum wage job is not part of US economy
mjr_: they are not a large part, but as a group they make up a large portion

mjr_: most people would say sure why not
mjr_: and as far as this distinction between fiat and bitcoin
mjr_: what difference does it make if i hold 4 5's or one twenty

mjr_: do people use fedwire for everytransaction?
KRS1337: am i supposed to wait there while the gas station receives my btc?
jurov: but easy turnkey solution needs to be engineered
mjr_: you will have services that will have enough trust or deposit to be able to do 0 conf
mjr_: for example, i have done business with you every day
mjr_: i don't need to wait
mjr_: its not even that i trust you as a person
mjr_: i just trust that you don't have the ability to double spend (not trivial)
KRS1337: just like i was trusting my friend about mining til i realized he was trolling me to buy my gpu's
mjr_: as in, pulling off a successful double spend in real life after a face to face transaction is probably very difficult, AND not worht it
KRS1337: i dont see the network at this point to keep up with transactional data sufficient for btc to be a currency..doubt it will evar be there =(
mjr_: KRS1337 that is the point...the network doesn't have to
mjr_: banks use fedwire to move around the DELTA from their days transactions, they aggregate and net the transactions first
mjr_: and most businesses will have to do that too
KRS1337: i dont see btc getting from me to you with that model.
mjr_: the same way that mt gox does not publish to the block chain for EVERY trade

KRS1337: u are talking about having an account with every merchant
mircea_popescu: mjr_ amuysingly, people are still proposibng that bitcoin financials be handled by "colored coins:"
mjr_: i'm talking about you having one account
KRS1337: oh see then theres stuff im not understanding
mjr_: for example, if i have a gox account, and everyone trusts gox, they can take my transaction without even hitting the blockchain
KRS1337: first its the "colored" coins then its..."whites" only accepted here ma'am
mjr_: this is what i was saying about "bitcoin is layer 1 or 2 maybe 3 of the financial OSI model"
mjr_: gox would be like a layer 4
mjr_: and eventually we will see layers 5-7
mjr_: anyway, i have to do some work, but i like the anarchy of a free market, whatever happens is supposed to happen, how well you do depends on your skill and risk profile

pgp: it's shocking, really, when you consider the magnitude of the opportunity gox has...
mircea_popescu: left in the market, newb speculators selling to each other
mircea_popescu: turning bitcoin into a sort of "bitcoin gem" by default.
mircea_popescu: this is not acceptable. a buncha new kids don't get to run the town.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the systemic risk they pose is that they'll blow it up then crash it with their desperation, creating fake "proof" that it's "a ponzi"

Scrat: pgp: quite a lot more
jborkl: yeah, 1 billion does not buy the govt much anymore
jborkl: the water treatment plant the city is builing - ran over budget and cost 1.1 billion

mircea_popescu: also, i hope ycombinator has litebase, litelab, namebase, namelab
pgp: this gox shit just gets me so hot under the collar...
dub: ppcoin is going to buy me an 86
bowjob: gox did a runner. the biggest bitcoin scam on the universe
pgp: any insight into why they just can't license a matching engine...
dub: yes they are incompetent because ddos
pgp: I see - success basically caught these guys with their pants down
jborkl: no, it made them a massive target
mircea_popescu: started about a year after btc as an outgrowth of a game cards trading thing owned by the guy now doing ripple.
mircea_popescu: was basically given away to tux because of legal concerns.
mircea_popescu: tux proceeded to get hacked, lose the entire email base, to this day these emails are spammed.
mircea_popescu: tux then proceeded to get hacked, which may or may not have been the fake account they used to house trade, but anyway btc got sold down to 0
taub: and why hasnt it made money since forever?
mircea_popescu: used this to get offices, hire some employees, get some real servers, etc.
mircea_popescu: this put him in the red all through 2012 (plus some hacks and other unsavory shit, plus taking over hacked stuff like a polish exchange
mircea_popescu: plus making a narrow escape from the EU for not having banking licenses)
mircea_popescu: they were marginally profitable once btc went over 10 again, but barely enough to dig investors out of their equity hole
mircea_popescu: then the high prices high volumes hit, now they're making enough to be an actual business.
taub: more on that EU escape story?
mircea_popescu: taub had a bank account in france, french authority investigated them
mircea_popescu: they offered the theory that they don't need licensing because bitcoin
dub: you missed tux being a pompus bag of dicks
pgp: accross the uruls on camelback?
jborkl: hen I signed up(right after the hack) they gave me a free yubikey- free shipping
mircea_popescu: currently they're also involved into a mess not of their making
mircea_popescu: whereby they have a bunch of bitcoinica funds which two parties are disputing in nz and ca
jborkl: oh yeah, I forgot they still have those
dub: thats hardly a burden, they hold btc unitl court ruling
dub: holding btc is a nightmare?
pgp: so... he's a survivor is what you're saying...
dub: he's a bottom feeder
dub: and in bitcoin that is the best place to feed
mircea_popescu: the other "survivor", bitfloor, lost millions of users funds
dub: hopefully they stay dossed long enough for a real exchange to open
pgp: anybody have any insight to the coinlab terms?
jborkl: that place should have just shut down
mircea_popescu: dub won't happen, because people have absolutely no preference for quality.
jborkl: the best exchange is in the us actually- imo
dub: mircea_popescu: they will move if they can never access gox again
bgupta: so trades appear to slowly be going through, just websockets are down
jcpham: i'm sure i can just pick some thing
jcpham: some hack, some rally, some press
dub: all it takes is someone that isnt a) an existing scammer b) from russia to create an alternative
[\\\]: jcpham: butterfail labs
jcpham: posting fake asic pics on the internets
bgupta: #mtgox-RT is slowly getting updates
jcpham: bfl shipping delayed: out of box tape
dub: mircea_popescu: it would take a gyppo with PR that doesnt alienate 80% of potential custies
jcpham: i think he referring to someone
Luke-Jr: jcpham: love your trolling, claiming my ASIC is fake
jcpham: dude i read it on reddit
dub: not that I have a problem with that in reference to MPEX, you don't want those 80% but an alt gox needs critical mass
jcpham: i can't come up with this gold

dub: mircea_popescu: it helps me breath up all the white mans air
mircea_popescu: jcpham because he helps bitcoin be more like the shithole he lives in
jcpham: you are so harsh mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: but anyway : i will dare say that a functioning exchange would be a serious problem at this point.
mircea_popescu: the fact they suck creates a lot of friction, which insulates us
mircea_popescu: which turns out to be critical when idiocy like the recent bubble strikes.
pgp: a better way will emerge
mircea_popescu: so far mtgox is a half-baked buggy implementation of capital controls.
jcpham: mircea_popescu what color is your soapbox?
pgp: it's the color of money
[\\\]: jcpham, that ain't soap
jcpham: thank god for coinlab amirite trollface
pgp: so, goxcodes are going away?
pgp: so far coinlab is all talk
jcpham: once your new overlords tell you what you can ant do, everything will be fine
jcpham: there's always bitfloor. you can sell coins for anything over there
dub: is coinlab actually an exchange or just handling banking for dwolla users
dub: or instead of dwolla
[\\\]: they aren't doing anything at the moment
jcpham: dub i think everything is the answer
[\\\]: so then to indicate what they are doing is a bit premature
pgp: bitfloor is a good tech all around, but one man show is a problem
[\\\]: coinlabs is attempting to be the USD exchanger
[\\\]: and mtgox will be the btc exchanger
pgp: i've met with him several times...
jcpham: there was an article from this week where Mark basically says mtgox wants coinlab to handle the US, they don't want to fool with anything in the US
pgp: you can lead a horse to water
[\\\]: either willingly or once it passes the hell out
[\\\]: hold its head under the water long enough, it'll drink
[\\\]: hold any creature underwater long enough and it'll drink
jcpham: ok so the link, the name of the article is "4 reasons you shouldn't buy bitcoins"
jcpham: last paragraph: Conclusion. With all that said, I think there’s a good chance that Bitcoins will continue to appreciate. I still have the majority of the Bitcoins I bought in early 2012 and I plan to hold onto them for a while to see what happens.
dub: 5th reason, dicks everywhere
pgp: reagrding his 3rd point... aren't there plans to possibly prune the blockchain?
mircea_popescu: so im looking at the bfl asic and all i can think of is
