MJR_: good morning everyone
 MJR_: crazy about bitfloor
 MJR_: but bound to happen i guess
 mircea_popescu: MJR_ im resisting the urge to search through logs for me going "don't use bitfloor" at people.
 MJR_: eh, it wasn't really a problem
 MJR_: its the only exchange i've used
 MJR_: everyone got their money out
 MJR_: i believe at the moment you can still withdraw using the site..
 MJR_: though trading is done
 MJR_: I am sorry to announce that due to circumstances outside of our control BitFloor must cease all trading operations indefinitely. Unfortunately, our US bank account is scheduled to be closed and we can no longer provide the same level of USD deposits and withdrawals as we have in the past. As such, I have made the decision to halt operations and return all funds.
 MJR_: Over the next days we will be working with all clients to ensure that everyone receives their funds. Please be patient as we process your request.
 MJR_: founder - bitfloor.com
 MJR_: there was a different announcement...
 mircea_popescu: what of the people who were going to get repaid out of the exchange comissuion ?
 Scrat: it's ok, your punishment is 10 whips
 assbot: ok, get in the asswhippin line
 MJR_: yeah not sure about them...
 MJR_: i am going to talk to roman soon, i was texting with him
 MJR_: and want to see if we can help him move offshore
 kakobrekla: you think its worth saving bitfloor after all that happend there MJR_
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2800 @ 0.00070303 = 1.9685 BTC [+]

 jurov: well.. same happened to gox, multiple times... and we are so not supporting it :D
 MJR_: i never said support

 kakobrekla: but im not saying you shouldnt support roman
 MJR_: i meant not financially support, but offer some advice and maybe help set some things up
 MJR_: so for me that is a big difference
 MJR_: also, if you can get it back up again and retain customers, you could conceivably get a revenue share
 MJR_: for whatever you did to get it back up again
 jurov: well, btc to usd exchanges can fail many times and there will still be interest
 kakobrekla: iirc preetymuch everyone was capped out
 jurov: unlike my bitfunder endeavors... mpoe bonds scared everyone
 jurov: and difficulty futures proll exhausted pool of BFLievers
 kakobrekla: you should have some discount for them
 MJR_: a guy in my office just preordered now
 MJR_: i'm like "what?!?!?"
 KRS1: Mine should be here any day......
 MJR_: got 3 virtex 6's that i'm trying to get something going on...still
 kakobrekla: its gonna be october for sure just not 2012
 MJR_: BFL shocks the world by actually shipping something in 2020
 gribble: Error: Problem retrieving gox lag. Try again later.
 MJR_: after most people had already forgotten they were waiting
 jurov: just in case they want to hedge against difficulty skyrocketing ;)
 kakobrekla: MJR_ but he paid a lot more than preorders for half the spec?
 MJR_: don't know what he paid...but i think he just likes to get hardware
 kakobrekla: 13:49.33 ( MJR_ ) after most people had already forgotten they were waiting
 MJR_: he got the raspberry pi before that
 kakobrekla: "oohhh i forgot i ordered this what a nice suprise to self"
 MJR_: jurov: ah ok, good idea
 MJR_: aren't diffs too expensive?
 jurov: no, just lowered the offer from 0.19 to 0.16
 MJR_: i was going to say that i should map out the absolute upper bound of difficulty over the time period
 MJR_: it can only go up by 4X
 MJR_: wait...take that back 4X every 2016 blocks
 jurov: nice, let me know... i'll write it into prospect

 ThickAsThieves: if you were a market maker, why might you post huge big walls from 60-80, and also ask walls under 100?
 ThickAsThieves: essentially holding price both higher and lower than it might go naturally?
 Chaang-Noi: but with 20 million usd on the books i dont think so
 Chaang-Noi: hell im happy if we stay here for a year
 Chaang-Noi: i sodl enough at $200 plus (my ltc) to live for a few years:)
 Sinbios: there's no "wall" under 100, just a bunch of people trying to sell
 Chaang-Noi: we will not see 50 for a while if ever
 ThickAsThieves: but why is that buyer propping price up, rather than buying?
 Sinbios: there are only two big bid orders, one at 80 and one at 70
 taub: i see buying beeing absorbed right now
 Sinbios: if those disappear for whatever reason 50 isn't out of reach
 taub: you can also buy them with euros truffles
 taub: it's just that the biggest market is in dollars
 Chaang-Noi: the volume is mostly in usd, but the euro market and even yuan market will drag the dollar price around
 taub: and even most of europeans trade it in usd i think

 Chaang-Noi: yes the bid walls can give up waiting and buy, but we were just at $50, why but now?
 Chaang-Noi: we dont have panic buying right now, but we might again over $130
 ThickAsThieves: for 2 or 3 days, someone has been constructing this price, yet not letting it break the overall downward trend
 ThickAsThieves: this manipulator WILL spend these dollars, and it WON'T be at these prices he constructed
 Scrat: truffles: you'd be surprised at how fast things move nowadays
 deadweasel: truffles: i agree, we see the internal rot, but nationstates power will remain in our lifetimes.
 taub: market has been kinda shaking, especially this week
 ThickAsThieves: what i think is that someone is manipulating, making up a large % of bid book,
 taub: and i dont think fiat currencies can live forever when all central banks are printing money like crazy

 Scrat: would take a lot of balls to have 10million on gox
 ThickAsThieves: maybe they are using all the fees you pay them to control price
 Sinbios: ThickAsThieves: ...then what incentive does that person have to hold the price up instead of just letting it fall to $0.01 and buy it up then
 Scrat: how do you prove that an exchange is manipulating the price, provided that they are doing it right
 Sinbios: i don't understand what you're trying to say. what crash coins?
 ThickAsThieves: they know exactly how many coins are needed to crash it to any price
 Scrat: if it's gox they dont even need to hold anything
 Scrat: they can change a value in the database
 ThickAsThieves: they can simply play with whatever the average balance is
 Scrat: only top management would know
 ThickAsThieves: but cmon you guys have to see that this price is constructed
 ThickAsThieves: there is no reason other than manip, to make bid walls that big
 Sinbios: the market is constantly manipulated
 Scrat: Sinbios: there's a big difference

 ThickAsThieves: dont you remember how 2 days ago we were at about 70, then a 15k wall appeared?
 Scrat: because it's not falsifiable either
 Sinbios: god's not falsifiable either, are you speculating it's god keeping the price up
 Scrat: I have a theory xenu might be buying btc, so yes
 Sinbios: ThickAsThieves: who cares? maybe it's some guy with deep pockets who thinks it's actually worth 70 and now 80 a coin
 Sinbios: just be prepared that it might disappear at any time and act accordingly
 Sinbios: because it's pointless speculating and you're just going to whip yourself into an anxious frenzy
 Scrat: i'm very calm actually
 Sinbios: i mean stop caring that it might be manipulation, because it is 100% manipulation
 Sinbios: i'm guessing most people are going with the latter, which might be why you don't get any replies when you ask if you're crazy

 MJR_: he owes those people x number of coins
 MJR_: nothing to do with current accounts
 Bugpowder: why do new accounts have preference over old accounts
 MJR_: he has a debt to them
 MJR_: considering him getting hacked was over a year ago
 MJR_: i personally did all my exchanging there
 MJR_: and never had one problem
 MJR_: bank account closed
 MJR_: more than likely recent upsurge of volume in cash...raised some eyebrows
 MJR_: so i think they closed his bank account or something like that
 MJR_: no details, but it has to do with fincen regs i think
 MJR_: or at the very least AML
 lippoper1: I heard he was talking to another bank and might re-open in 4 weeks
 MJR_: if he can figure out the AML stuff, compliance with fincen regs
 MJR_: i wouldn't talk to a bank so i could have them help me operate illegally
 MJR_: no, has been since inception
 MJR_: or technically since fincen released guidance
 MJR_: again hacking had nothing to do with closing
 lippoper1: hacking was just to hurt his reputation
 MJR_: i would talk to a bank so they could help me implement KYC and AML
 lippoper1: you're syaing they didn't make off with 24k BTC though?

 Doffx: Then they will outlaw all crypto coins
 Doffx: for our own protection
 pgp: outlaw - no...  make it really difficult to convert fiat to crypto, yes...

 soypirate: will s.dice go back up, or do you guys think it will go down before it goes back up?
 jurov: the outcome will be the same, no?
 soypirate: i guess you're right... weird question.
 jurov: i'd buy s.dice to expect more profit... but you need strong nerves, its movememnts defy all logic
 soypirate: I feel with s.dice that, the way the btc/usd price has been wild, the dividends will not really pay for the profit loss in terms of share to btc resale value...
 jurov: neither btc-bond will do that
 soypirate: you mean, the dividends don't pay for the loss in share value?
 jurov: you can't expect them to
 jurov: s.dice has nothing to do with usd
 jurov: if you fear btc crash so much, do some spreadsheet yourself and buy some puts instead
 soypirate: in as much as affecting the value of BTC
 jurov: or divide the investment
 jurov: s.dice firmly captured a part of btc economy and any usd movements affect it mildly at most
 soypirate: yeah, I was about to say, it was at 0.006 and went to 0.003 during the latest btc/usd bubble
 soypirate: so, long-term would be better to trade a few for m.poe or something?
 joecool: same could be said about mtgox
 joecool: both have been proven to be run by idiots
 jurov: who are you talking to? tiberiusiv? i am ignoring him for a reason
 joecool: lol last time i was in here you were calling mircea a gypsy over and over and telling us he makes a living stealing chickens
 jurov: for example i have ignored after he came up with this: <tiberiusiv> mircea has lost in 1month  probably more bitcoins then 95% of this channel hold combined.
