denialdenial: i would expect the japanese to at least make a trillion dollar samurai sword or something
bgupta: One catch in the theory.. proposited.. it assumes that people using btc for transfer will keep the btc in btc, and not immediately trade back to fiat..

taub: mp seems more concerend about the rate it's increasing
denialdenial: the price is so high now that mentally the decimal places have already started moving
taub: ie he doesnt want it to be volatile or full of bubbles and crashes

denialdenial: what's the visual and mental difference between .005 btc and .05 btc if they are fundamentally the same
bgupta: wouldn't it be better to get that correction out of the way and then let it try to stabialize?
bgupta: just throwing thoughts out there
bgupta: personally I kinda wish btc would stay really low so I can buy more..
taub: sure, bubbles have to be corrected
denialdenial: how do you stabilize a queue of 10,000 people wanting to buy something
taub: the thought is not to have bubble like growth to begin with
bgupta: why does more exchanges help?
denialdenial: because gox is asingle point of failure and it can't handle the load
bgupta: well.. they've said they can't handle ddos attacks
denialdenial: there's needs to be 10x the number of operating exchanges there are now
bgupta: if you spread out to ten exchanges they'd all be semi-illiquid
denialdenial: the price is going to do what the exchanges allow it to do
bgupta: I don't think we need to exchanges. perhaps more money changers
bgupta: more retail money exchangers
bgupta: that keep their own supplies
bgupta: they would go to a handful of exchanges for trade..
denialdenial: all of these things feed off each other. what hasn't kept up is the supply
bgupta: of course not, that's baked into the system
denialdenial: whether that market is real or artificial doesn't matter
bgupta: ah the supply of btc.. well with it going up people are reluctant to sell.. and many people will never sell..
denialdenial: the exchanges create the market or better the illusion of the market
bgupta: IE: They have moved to btc
bgupta: wall street proper will invest in exchanges at some point.. IE: old financial houses.
denialdenial: the oldest con in the book is to invent a problem and then sell the solution to it

mircea_popescu: when mtgox hinted to a dddos there's nothing but pr fluff.
bgupta: "I won't bother to compile the endless list of proof to show you just lied" Why not?
mircea_popescu: also we're not quite prepared for serving new people, what i'm saying here is common knowledge among "us".
bgupta: Your evidence that they lied is a post from you claiming that they lied.. oh, mpoe-pr isn't you?
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying this to exclude you, just saying, this is all very banal crap
bgupta: For some reason I thought that it was you… since you are always linking to posts by said avatar.
mircea_popescu: but if you're curious, do a search for mtgox, see what turns up.
mircea_popescu: look for that classic piece on the part of inaba where he's been dicked around for months over 20k
mircea_popescu: or for that piece where some new guy was complaining about mtgox telling him that his funds are locked and "they'll get in touch with the developers" to fix it.
bgupta: which isn't really something to brag about
mircea_popescu: we are discussing that mpex handles everything within the same day, and to counter this tux claiomed they do it in 20 minutes.
mircea_popescu: except the forum is replete with cases they do no such thing.
mircea_popescu: which makes him a liar (again, for that matter, no big deal, it's banal by now)
bgupta: they didn't say everything.. they said most.. my take is if they handle more than 50% in 20 minutes… that means that statement is correct.. the rest could take weeks/months.
bgupta: I don't yet see evidence of outright lying.
mircea_popescu: what he said was : "Most open tickets have a resolution within 20 minutes. Remaining cases are when there is not enough information, or when issues are not simple user-specific issues (or linked to an outage)."
mircea_popescu: This means that ALL tickets that are properly spelled out and affect a single user are handledwithin 20 mintes.
mircea_popescu: it also means that the ONLY cases where a ticker takes over 20 minutes is when either a. there's no info or b. there's an outage and the ticket relates to the outage.
bgupta: well. I'd be curious to know what they mean by "simple user-specific issues" IE: Does that preclude "complicated user-specific issues"?
mircea_popescu: they're horrible communicators, with a long history of such incompetence.
mircea_popescu: that people in general read crap like their recent release and think something was said is a property of large crowds of people.
bgupta: I don't read "when issues are not simple user-specific issues (or linked to an outage)" as "when issues are not simple user-specific issues that are linked to an outage"
mircea_popescu: it also means that the ONLY cases where a ticker takes over 20 minutes is when either a. there's no info or b. there's an outage and the ticket relates to the outage.
bgupta: well, their PR matched my read on the situation, as a number of btc sites where were being hammered at that time.
mircea_popescu: and they are still being useless. not saying anything concrete about the ddos
bgupta: I'm reading it as we take care of simple issues in 20 minutes… complex issues or outage related issues exluded.
bgupta: let's see if they will.. what do you want to know?
mircea_popescu: it says specifically what i wish from a service that aspires to be halpful.
mircea_popescu: then again i guess that's asking a little much, they probably don't have the technical ability to do anything other than read tickets from their host.
bgupta: I think that they are at a scale that they are using "helpdesk staff" that are largely following scripts.
bgupta: If it fits in script they can reply within 20 mins, if not it needs to be escalated
bgupta: (Saying this because I have worked in customer service orgs in the past.
bgupta: (I was third level support, and it generally took a long time to get to my desk, and if it did it wasn't trivial to solve.
mircea_popescu: when i say you suck and mpex owns you, he says "this is true"
mircea_popescu: wehn he comes back wityh "no we're better" he's getting the bitchslap.
mircea_popescu: obviously he doesn't have a prayer in hell to compete seeing how he handles < 1k and i do over 1k. of course my service would be better.
bgupta: well it depends on what your criteria of comparison is… If a pretty site is the criteria, they win.. if never having been hacked is the criteria you win. It's not balck or white.
bgupta: there are many other ways to measure.. those were just two examples.
mircea_popescu: the criteria is having customers serviced within the day
bgupta: You guys don't even directly compete, so that makes comparison even harder. Anyway this is turning into a bit of a rathole.. IE: we are probably not going to change each others opinions.
mircea_popescu: well, the thing is, i'm really uninterested in oppinions. i am stating facts.
bgupta: So are the bot algos relatively public? Trying to understand why some spreads are so wide and others aren't? Or are the less tight spreads situations were there is a human counterparties on the book?

jurov: bgupta: seems no deal so far, at all
jurov: they announced just move of "biggest account"
jurov: KRS1337: imho just more people like me pulled out some ltcs from socks
bgupta: seems at some point it will come mandatory?
jurov: KRS1337: i had quite a few ltcs bought year ago stashed at various places
jurov: and recently sold some
bgupta: KRS1337: What is your question? IE: WHo are you talking to?
jurov: so more ppl did the same, i guess
bgupta: so jurov you aren't gonna wait to see if mtgox wil follow through?
KRS1337: so the ltcs at BTC-e are worthless, but tthe ltc's at another exchange arent?
jurov: bgupta, just get rid off mtgox completely. fortunately i'm not american, just following
KRS1337: will I lose my btc investment too soon? wtf is going on
KRS1337: great friday morning i woke up to
jurov: imho coinlab hit some major snags with these alphas, hence no update
bgupta: ltc had rally on mtgox rumor/pseudo-news.. (that mtgox was gonna trade ltc)
bgupta: jurov, where else can I trade btc with liqudity
jurov: bgupta, trade mpex stocks instead :D
KRS1337: jurov: idk..i see ltc tanking then i hear get away from gox..idk what to do
jurov: and if you absolutely must trade btcusd, bitfloor seems to be rising.
KRS1337: so i can probably transfer them to another exchange? I see people on btc-e losing their asses
bgupta: am trading AM but not trading on MPOE yet.
jurov: KRS1337: just inform yourself at recent mtgox happenings. they are just seriously inept.
jurov: and i never said anything about btc-e!!!
bgupta: KRS1337: Dude ltc hit an all time high on btc-e based on rumos that mtgox is gonna start allowing ltc trading there..
jurov: that's bs, it went up before that announcement
bgupta: it's pulled back quite a bit as people who bought ltc at very low prices are taking profits
jurov: i'm not going to predict anything. just don't panic and wait it out
KRS1337: hmmm maybe i can buy a ton right now
jurov: it is possible ltc will get more attractive since btc starts to be unusable for micropayments. or maybe not.
bgupta: KRS-1: it was below $.10 not that long ago..
bgupta: look at the chart and relax
bgupta: it's way more volitile than btc at the moment
KRS1337: ya thats a good thing..i have no long term interest in ltc..just wanted to throw a buch down right quick but did not expect this

joeykrim: mircea_popescu, talked last night with kakobrekla who recommended i ask you .. ive been putting in bets on bitbet.us and was wondering if you had any insight on why some get rejected?
joeykrim: wanted to refine my approach to help save us both time and put in better bet suggestions hah
joeykrim: read the faq, stay away from bad bets, something i would bet on
joeykrim: can i pm you the address ive been using?
mircea_popescu: pretty much the one use of ltc that i can see atm is to play ponzi. do you see another ?
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Arguably one could have said the same about btc 3 years ago… IE: Many claimed btc was a big ponzi scheme that created value out of nothing.. I'm not convinced but there may be value in having more than one cc.
KRS1337: maybe.. bgupta i think about that
mircea_popescu: at the time people were saying that about btc 1. btc was unique and 2. they were being ignorant.
mircea_popescu: at the time i'm saying this about ltc, 1. ltc is a copy of btc with no actual advantage and 2. i'm not ignorant.

KRS1337: yes- limit order that is what i meant about my sell order not going through- market price is lower than my selling price at that moment, but my view to the actual market price is obscure

Scrat: [14:22] <sydna> coinbase just ruined somebodies life
cads: hey mircea_popescu , ce faci?
KRS1: they should just give me the 30 btc instead of buying namecoins, at least i'll talk dirty to them or something
mircea_popescu: Scrat i bet the forum will be full of people saying "thank you mpoe-pr for warning us not to trust these muppets a month ago"
Scrat: who the fuck is mpoe-pr, isn't that you?
mircea_popescu: so it wasn't gox doing it, it's not related to the dollars on the exhange, running out of theories here.
saulimus: Bugpowder, yes, at those prices they bid at.
cads: mircea_popescu: I have a help request and project proposal for you.
cads: mircea_popescu: this summer I will work towards implementing a marketplace for BTC <-> LTC futures.
cads: mircea_popescu: Is that the kind of project that you would be interested in mentoring?
cads: No, I intend to do all the research and coding myself - API + engine. The web front end will be done by friends.
KRS1: mircea popescu: yeah there was a lot of publicity on that..I'm good friends with the guy who caused it..it seems homeland security was on the same network he was killing for 3 weeks
KRS1: so they paid him a visit..
KRS1: noooo he went to prison..
KRS1: the thing is..his company was getting DDoS'd and he was hitting them back, but 10X harder
KRS1: it was a big fiasco and admittedly exciting back then
cads: mircea_popescu: I would not be able to pay you for your time. I would want to talk to you about high level architecture and implementation details.
mircea_popescu: well, whatever you get away with leeching in public chan then i guess.
KRS1: yeah the link..i really can't explain it..i had to wait for Paul to get out, he told me about it..sucked..he did time.
cads: mircea_popescu: barring any formal mentorship/student relationship, I would like at least to ask you basic questions over the next few months.
mircea_popescu: finance consulting is finance consulting, more expensive than hiring a lawyer,
cads: I agree. I would be asking essentially for 'gratis' financial consulting. Not a winning proposition for you by any means.
mircea_popescu: in general this "i shall put together found items in the hope of constructing something of value" works fine if what you're doing is art projects in highschool.
ThickAsThieves: i think mp is saying you dont have to ask to ask, and he doesnt have to answer
cads: I in turn have some wonky ideas. I want to build the core engine in haskell. I want to release the software for free. I'd like to help run the exchange, but I do not wish to be paid for it.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes, that, plus, you can't sanely rely on the end result working.
cads: mircea_popescu: this is part of what I consider my "free work". Some people do a finance internship. I will build an exchange.
Scrat: cads: haskell would be a bad idea. only a few people in the world would be able to read it
cads: "free work", of course, is not work I do for free, but work I do to increase my public reputation in ways beyond what normal allowances of authority would give.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [VTX] 1 @ 0.445 BTC [-]
MJR_: hey, haskell is kinda cool
MJR_: someone was trying to port bitcoin-qt to haskell
mircea_popescu: cads yeah well, most people don't dop internships on opm
mircea_popescu: so the most reasonable thing to do is set a clear sum of your own pocket aside as guarantee (10 btc, .5 btc, w/e)
mircea_popescu: and put a plain warning in the about file, this is what this is.
cads: Scrat: I agree writing the code in haskell would make the software obscure. However I know a number of derivatives design and valuation packages that run in haskell. Haskell has great support for financial contracts.
mircea_popescu: as long as you're learning you can use anything you want.
cads: Speculatively, haskell provides a direct path for producing code that is verified mathematically correct

cads: mircea_popescu: I am a mathematician, not a coder, so I don't expect this project to succeed without some serious help. I have the whole #haskell community. I have 5 years of haskell. I can use ruby, python, php etc for frontend. I will rework my ideas on attribution and profit share (it may be best to arrange that I profit financially from a successful completion). Will this be a project you can provide moral support to?
cads: mircea_popescu: aside from moral support and guidance, I will ask questions about how the mpex was implemented.
cads: This is all. I do not expect more than an hour each week of interspersed conversation. About as much as we've talked already, in fact.
cads: in fact, I think I'm happy with your proposed offering of whatever I can pick up in here.
MJR_: could he use a non-turing complete forth-like scripting language?
cads: eventually when I can model arbitrary contracts, they will be implemented as a non-turing complete contract-composition syntax
MJR_: i was just drawing a parallel to the scripting aspect of bitcoin transactions
MJR_: but i got my backend exhchange stuff working...step one is complete
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, this is proprietary sowftware which constitutes the main tangible asset of a corp mkt-valued at about a hundred million dollars.
cads: mircea_popescu: sounds like a reasonable protection
mircea_popescu: there's parts about mpex that are very open, such as for instance the use of gpg to protect orderflow
cads: Also, as I intend to publicly document each step of the process, and then release the result for free to whoever wishes to provide starting reserve capital, I understand I will get ridiculed
mircea_popescu: these are well documented on trilema, and i'm pushing people to adopt them
mircea_popescu: (people, being donkeys, know better, so they continue getting owned a la coinbase)
error4733: sold coinbase mail DB PM for offer
cads: mircea_popescu: I believe that what a student can do greatly increases even by having a teacher that says 'it is possible'. Moral support means philosophical and encouragement. It would mean a great deal to have whatever positive, constructive input you wish to provide. When we provide others with moral support, we do it only so far as it helps our reputation or internal sense of gratification at having helped someone.
mircea_popescu: it certainly possible to build a ltc/btc futures market.
mircea_popescu: unless you're pointedly an idiot about it, it's going to be useful, too.
mircea_popescu: the other definition of moral support however is as to third parties. you can't go around saying "i'm working with mp on this" unless we actually have a deal of some sort.
cads: mircea_popescu: I would certainly keep you on the anonymous gratitude lisk
cads: even up to what we've talked already
MJR_: basically stressing the difference between "endorsement" and "encouragement"
cads: I do not wish to profit from recieving your public endorsement, no.
mircea_popescu: it's not a crime, it's business. stuff i sign off on does better in the marketplacer
cads: any private friendship will be repayed in kind to my social network.
cads: I believe I am creating this exchange as a gift to the community
mircea_popescu: but anyway : deprived is one fellow actively doing some ltc/btc futures stuff, tho mostly otc.
MJR_: now you are getting on shaky territory
cads: I do not wish to profit from it in ways other than 1) public reputation if I succed, and 2) transferrable skills regardless of whether I fail or succeed.
MJR_: its funny but "altruism" engenders less trust than profit
MJR_: those should be positive side effects of a workable sustainable plan
mircea_popescu: yeah, this entire "make a gift to the community" thing is suspect.
MJR_: hehehe, i knew thats what you would say
mircea_popescu: doing a general "this is how a successful business is made" documentary thing is one thing.
mircea_popescu: but when taaki stole and "released" the bitcoinica code
mircea_popescu: the only result was some even worse idiots made bitfinex.
mircea_popescu: there's no real benefit in making an open source thing the general public may confuse with a financial market to their detriment.
mircea_popescu: empowering people to run nuclear power plants in their garage is not a good thing
cads: mircea_popescu: I have already been advised once that for the project to succeed and be safe and beneficial long term.
MJR_: hmmm...great idea...but can we sell that?
MJR_: (garage based nuclear power)
cads: I am starting to change my opinion, due to the 'trust' argument
DeaDTerra: WTS G.SDICE,G.MPOE,G.BBET,BTCQuick :) pm me with offer
cads: mircea_popescu: this is where this community's advice is already coming in handy.
cads: If I have to set myself up to financially benefit, and hold the new company as a private organization, I will
MJR_: point is, people can't calculate your ephemeral motives, hence they can't arrive at the same conclusions...if based on clear mathematical profit model, they can arrive at the same conclusions and see the benefits
MJR_: people trust that other people will do whats in their own self interest
cads: of course, whether I give my income to charity will be a private decision then. My inventive to serve the project honestly will come from that.
mircea_popescu: "i am doing this to learn, it's not for serious, i have 10 btc set in escrow with X if site fucks up"
cads: I think that would be a suitable initial offering.
cads: The high level bells and whistles will come in later iterations.
mircea_popescu: publish your total exposure/don't let people expose you over that sumand that'sthat.
MJR_: i think that mpex's model is great...what if x, x', x'' and x''' happen
mircea_popescu: if you blow up escrow saves you, and you will be the first failed bitcoin business that failed correctly.
cads: That would be extremely valuable to me, even as a failure.
mircea_popescu: shows you had the sense to a. ask b. think through c. implement something safe.
cads: very well, I am optimistic about this response
mircea_popescu: and in general i've always supported stuff that was made to be safe.
mircea_popescu: my girl regularly roils over things that calously put the public in grave danger
cads: my eventual goal is attain skills needed to write 1) a mathematical specification of a secure trading 2) a program that is provably correct relative that specification
cads: secure trading platform*
cads: this is a level of rigor that a few years ago produced L4-Verified, the world's first mathematically correct unix micro-kernel
mircea_popescu: if you can actually build a business on that model for instance, i'd certainly list it.
MJR_: and it is in some ways a "futures" hedge on code
MJR_: never cease to amaze me
cads: mircea_popescu: though I would be thrilled to offer that, frankly I would need 5 years of software dev manager work before I could assemble and run such a team, to completely forget about capital.
cads: But yes. That is the type of sector I wish to enter.
mircea_popescu: this is true, just, since we were on the topic of provavbility.
cads: yeah, I also believe offering provability services would be a great extension to that model
cads: thanks for sharing that, It's going into my business models brainstorming file
cads: Okay, I will first brainstorm about a ~10BTC service
pgp: cads: are you doing this for a dissertation?
cads: pgp: I'm not sure if I'm going to remain in school
mircea_popescu: basically there is going to be space for 10k mathematicians and 100k software experts (this is NOT webdevelopers, ruby coders etc)
cads: if I do, then yes, I expect to use topics like this for my masters/phd
mircea_popescu: i always said the power of an idea is the number of people it can make drop out of school.
cads: but I also have work in applied logic and economics and game theory that is promising
MJR_: i think you can draw a clear parrallel to "crop harvesting" and "code development"...it actually seems like a perfect analogy in some ways
cads: this is more of a project to tempt myself to leave school over :D
cads: I might be overcommitting
cads: but I should certainly be able to push up a _small_ service
cads: I am also recruiting investors for a 3d printing business I'd like to help my brother set up
mircea_popescu: one of the advantages of the 10btc backstop is that it disencentivises overengineering
cads: that's a genius architecture decision
cads: I have no problem refactoring the code to scale it
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's kinda why i make a lot of money consulting.
cads: mircea_popescu: I tend to give my best advice without knowing it to friends, lol. And less good advice to my consutancy.
cads: something I ought to change.
cads: well to give an example I helped a friend for free to learn inequalities. Helped me breakthrough a new way to teach inequalities. Spent a couple hours. On the other hand, I charge so much for tutoring that my students often can't afford two hour stretches.
cads: and that's where I find the real breakthroughs happen
cads: Really the solution is become a better tutor.
cads: this is not quite the consulting capacity.
cads: haha, aka employees?

cads: mircea_popescu: ding ding ding...

MJR_: yes, that was my point, is that i think there is increasing volume of people accustomed to a 9:30 EST market opening
MJR_: that would be a good metric to track...
MJR_: to judge the amount of "institutional" or "wall street" interest
cads: mircea_popescu: do you have customers in mind for the code review adventure?
assbot: [BTCTC] [PAJKA.BOND] 2 @ 0.1022 = 0.2044 BTC [-]
cads: I'm thinking risk and externalities on the insurance derivative over this kind of service would be _far_ beyond my abilities to manage. However a code review would be quite lucrative and low risk. Also, it might be reasonable to begin offering formal verification services from the gate, or about 1 year after startup. It's not that hard to teach. When you have your own slaves.
cads: and I mean employees
cads: sex-employees cost too much!
cads: The issue I see with formal verification is so few people know to ask for it by name
cads: also, I know any number of people that play with the technology _for fun_, but much fewer who have names for themselves (and those guys tend to be happily employed)
optimator: I've thought about the insurance thing before. I think you'll end up developing pci-type standards and then measuring / certifying the company against those standards
cads: mircea_popescu: thanks for that stimulating line of thought, I'm getting some positive feedback from my peers already.
cads: throwing in the bone about coding an exchange, too
cads: I might see some champing at the bit :)
mircea_popescu: cads> mircea_popescu: do you have customers in mind for the code review adventure? << sure. pretty much any new service opening.
mircea_popescu: optimator i think that direction is pretty much diametrically opposed.
mircea_popescu: let's go by example : the cc industry is pretty much all pci compliant
mircea_popescu: about half the cards in the world are available to download on the black market.
optimator: ah. the issue is pci is broke, not that an open sourced bitcoin security standard would fail
mircea_popescu: but anyway. pci is pretty much marketing fluff. heavy on the blabla and three letter acronims, pompous definitions and posturing.
mircea_popescu: very light on actual anything. which mostly boils down to some penetration testing
optimator: sure, but i want to provide insurance to a site. but I'll only insure if they meet some standard. How do you define the standard? individual for each site?
mircea_popescu: a, no, if you read the article/comments it's agreed some standards will have to be arrived at/published
cads: this approach is essentially extensible to let us create almost anything needed. Bitcoin asic? Verified. LTC asic? verified. Bitcoin stock exchage?
cads: Can I hear "verified"?
optimator: right - pci, was just a placeholder, for an agreed upon standard
MJR_: this could be the "slightly smoky dragon" certification that i have been asking for...

MJR_: my point was that if someone has credibility (mpex) they can call their cert whatever they want, it will have value
cads: mircea_popescu: when you realize that this approach takes Coq -> Haskell -> C code, then you see it's about putting Coq in Cunt. Simple. I know ten medium level programmers already dying to be doing this kind of work, even if it was near free.
MJR_: so the double cherry truck and slightly smoky dragon were a joke, but they actually could hold weight now
mircea_popescu: MJR_ well obviously. kinda why those are there, to make that point.
cads: The only part is the veracity of our code

mircea_popescu: "honey.... let's move to cancun, a lot of cheap sluts over there and they have bigger tits than you do"
MJR_: in S.DICE's case, you have a positive number
ThickAsThieves: i have at least convinced here we need to get the hell out of Florida
topace|2: mircea_popescu: could you add the push date/time to the push receipt ?
mircea_popescu: MJR_ this is true in principle. bitcoin inflation is still marked however.
topace|2: i have no way of knowing if this push request to havelock was before or after the sdice dividend
mircea_popescu: topace|2 well the idea is to allow the push-er this freedom
ThickAsThieves: surely you can log your own push incoming requests no?
jurov: topace|2: the gpg signature contains time, no?
MJR_: bitcoin is inflationary? on a net basis...i would say it is deflationary now (the goods available are increasing faster than the currency)
topace|2: yes, i have no idea if the dividend i received includes the dividend for the units that were pushed or not
mircea_popescu: well that you can resolve by math, no ? divide net by units ?
mircea_popescu: MJR_ on a monetarist basis. further currency introduced at a fixed rate, about 10% annualised.
topace|2: sure for this one instance, i only have one pending push
topace|2: but what if i had like, 10 push requests pending
topace|2: how do i know which should receive the dividend, and which shouldnt
topace|2: aka, which i should approve the push for BEFORE the dividend is paid, and which i should wait to approve the push until after
mircea_popescu: the thing here is that this sorta conflicts on a philosophical level, as in, i'd rather have tx's dated by parties than by central system.
jurov: topace|2: use extra account for pushes
jurov: i'm fortunate to have one
ThickAsThieves: does that mean coinbr to havelock pushes are coming soon?
topace|2: ThickAsThieves: its on our very long todo list
jurov: not necessarily :)
mircea_popescu: but as a prototype : "21:08 <assbot> [MPEX] [S.DICE] [PAID] 445.0881225 BTC to". all pushes you received prior to 21:08 you count as before
jurov: yes you "just" have to call stat every few seconds
topace|2: not a problem for me, but if someone makes the push before, but doesnt post it to havelock until after, then they completely miss out on the dividend
mircea_popescu: i think that outlook is crucial to allow us further development cheaper
jurov: cheaper for mpex, yea
mircea_popescu: we do not have the resources to sustain a consumerist attitude on the users.
jurov: i just shrugged over it, write all balance changes to db and then resolve shit manually
mircea_popescu: but seriously, consider the converse approach : user is actually incentivised to time-attack the entire system

jurov: user is actually incentivised to time-attack the entire system << i don't get it?
mircea_popescu: jurov if you go by the mpex issued timer, it would be (at least in theory) possible for the user to at least attempt
mircea_popescu: to make a push request so that the time on it shows he got in early to deserve dividends on PT
jurov: O.o so i can't rely on the time??????
jurov: in the Dividend statjson part
mircea_popescu: can you rely on time for mpex matching havelock's server time ?!
jurov: no i understood topace asking for a possibility to compare mpex-issued timestamps
jurov: one from STAT, the other one from push receipt
mircea_popescu: but his stat would necessarily be a little off the actual divtime
jurov: not STAT timestamp. the dividends timestamp written in stat

jurov: no need to argue, if the push timestamp can be extracted from gpg signaature
jurov: i think it is supported, hence no problem
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between "you can get" and "developer assures you it's workable"
jurov: gpg: Signature made Pi 5. apríl 2013, 21:17:58 CEST using DSA key ID CFE0F3E1
jurov: ^^^ just threw my recent DEPOSIT response into gpg
jurov: so the time is there
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu what is attackable though? i would think risk is on the pt ooerator not mpex

mircea_popescu: whenever there's three entities moving payments on the internet there's this classical well documented problem of the doublespend.
mircea_popescu: mpex solves it by the "fu, all times are construed to our best advantage" solution

mircea_popescu: "@maxkeiser 1h Despite state-orchestrated massive DDoS attacks on BTC exchanges this week; BTC inching up toward record high territory." jesus twitter is just like reddit
jurov: aka ganjix getting invited to CNBC
benkay: stop arguing with proles, dude
benkay: for a nominally epic top you sure do enjoy exposing yourself to mental anguish
mircea_popescu: benkay max keiser is in particular a funny one. day before yest he was like, o, i predict, 300 dollars per btc.
mircea_popescu: My trade idea earlier in week of parking a few $150 priced BTC in Silver is paying off nicely.
benkay: what does that mean, to park $150 priced BTC in silver?
benkay: convert btc to silver holdings?
jurov: bought usagis asset?
MJR_: lol maxkeiser and shrem, i saw those on twitter
MJR_: i am shooting for squawkbox
MJR_: better traders in the early morning
jurov: but rly, i'm looking forward to some high-profile blogger getting caught in nether parts of bitcoin "security" market
MJR_: cramer is for housewives etc
benkay: can't really say as I understand the value in paying much attention to the newly minted chattering classes on twitter, especially w/r/t high finance
benkay: don't know how much i care about people who buy and sell individual coins
MJR_: my philosophy is this
MJR_: one million people buying one coin = one million coins on the buy side
MJR_: we have to enjoy this volatility while it lasts, it won't be here much longer i think
benkay: when i want funny, i go to the dog park and watch my dog hump other dogs
MJR_: mircea_popescu: good point
benkay: it's doubly amusing because he's a pitbull and people get anxious
MJR_: not sure how it relates though...
mircea_popescu: nothing's more dangerous for a new issuance than a large number of clueless investors.
MJR_: well...i think if those people actually are worried about losing the ~150 then they aren't who i'm talking about
MJR_: i'm saying, "if you saw it on the news, if you are interested, just buy one and hold it a year at least"
MJR_: watch the ride, learn about it
MJR_: don't trade it, for the love of god
mircea_popescu: yea, because a. they listen and b. they even comprehend wtf the words you just say mean
jcpham: i give away $150 to my friends
benkay: you don't give things away, mp
MJR_: all i'm saying is that most of my friends could give two shits about 150
MJR_: but they do enjoy being "part of the story"
jcpham: all of the women i know are my wife's friends so i can't fuck them
MJR_: or being able to say "i was in that back when they were $150"
benkay: you can't sleep with your friends wives?
jcpham: may have to trade in for a newer model

mircea_popescu: yeah lol, but why not continue something dumb into the ground :D
benkay: since when have we not :)
MJR_: that IS how this became the best channel on free node
mircea_popescu: i was mostly trying to figure out if your mom told you. seems not. whew.
