mircea_popescu: jamespeerless i'm trying to build bitcoin into an actual thing.
jamespeerless: by running a gambling website?
mircea_popescu: by running all sorts of things correctly.
BingoBoingo: jamespeerless: A great gambling website. I've won moar there than I lost on Satoshidice.
turbo_ac100: prediction market. please!
ThickAsThieves`: maybe bitbet should have a setting for each bet for rate of weight loss
ThickAsThieves`: a curve
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves` it was in the original spec
mircea_popescu: we cut it out, because curve notation is more than the average person can grok mentally ☟︎
snackman: mircea_popescu: are you satoshi?
mircea_popescu: and having it graphical turned out to be insanely difficult.
ThickAsThieves`: so use gfx
snackman: mircea_popescu: if you are, i take everything back, the megalomania is justified
ThickAsThieves`: make 3 options
mike_c: same rationale as 3-way resolutions
mircea_popescu: snackman no, i'm nick szabo.
snackman: mircea_popescu: so that's a yes
ThickAsThieves`: fast regular slow
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves`: What's next? Allowing bet creators to specify elliptic curves the bet weight passes through as it degrades over time?
ThickAsThieves`: yes, thats what we are talking about
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves` what's wrong with just setting the weight end point to 80k or w.e ?
dub: appears we are past acceptance and into the dick slurping phase of grief
ThickAsThieves`: i think maybe i misunderstood end weight all along
ThickAsThieves`: which now seems obvious
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves` and you wanteds me to implement splines.
snackman: mircea_popescu: admit it dude
snackman: mircea_popescu: this entire escapade of mine was to test your style
mircea_popescu: o, there was deeper meaning ?
snackman: mircea_popescu: lol of course
mircea_popescu: i like it when there's deeper meaning
ThickAsThieves`: admit what snackman did mp
snackman: and what i assumed was confirmed beyong expectation
snackman: beyond*, as typos are made when you're excited
Duffer1: if true then your actions are too meta for me to grock..
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 it probably has something to do with post communism.
Duffer1: oh lawd you're not helping mp lol
BingoBoingo: snackman: The simple answer is to get your bets in much earlier. As close to opening as possible. Just draw a bullseye on a piece of paper and jack off. If more cum is on the right bet yes. On the left bet no.
snackman: mircea_popescu: not being engrained into mainstream economics by birth certainly helped you
snackman: BingoBoingo: the conversation moved on, screw the play money, i have a much bigger fish to catch
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do you have a bitbeteratorium ?
benkay: snackman: fishing for buttcorns?
ThickAsThieves`: sending an email to wikimedia re: donation request pop-up:
ThickAsThieves`: No bitcoin option? Fairweather friends get no shine.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe? Maybe instead of the paper bullseye though I hire a pair of tits. I'm trying to imagine snackman's budget though.
snackman: benkay: i have enough, thank you. i got in early
benkay: snackman: your aggro over 10 seems unwarranted then
mircea_popescu: it's incredible how many people that got in early showed up late.
mircea_popescu: we'd have never guessed in like, 2012.
BingoBoingo: snackman: Actually in IRC everything is roughly on topic for at least 24 hours after it was last mention provided you scroll up
benkay: snackman holds all the buttcorns. it's his private pre-mined altcoin, mircea_popescu, not actual bitcoins.
snackman: benkay: please read the last 5 minutes. the entire thing was an act, carefully orchestrated, and mircea_popescu fell for it graciously
benkay: that's what he means by "got in early"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: To be fair before you showed it was pretty much just the dev circle jerk and the Silk Road honey pot
mircea_popescu: then mp said "let there be tits1
mircea_popescu: and lo tits rain galoare.
BingoBoingo: snackman: I'll give you 5,000,000 Satoshis for a sharpie in the pooper pic with BB written on your asscheeks
snackman: BingoBoingo: the address is up there
snackman: it's not mine btw
BingoBoingo: snackman: It honestly is seeming now like nothing is yours, but the cold embrace of nothingness. How is the void?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 10090 @ 0.0001011 = 1.0201 BTC [-] {2}
dub: ThickAsThieves`: considering half of wikimedia corp is gmaxwells sausage wallet, they've probably consdired it
snackman: he who own's the keys owns the coins. and he who own's the void owns...
snackman: shit
dub: clearly it didnt rustle jimmies jimmies
snackman: i have found satoshi
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 936 @ 0.00278769 = 2.6093 BTC [-] {2}
BingoBoingo: snackman: Nah, for that you'd have to check someone's freezer
snackman: BingoBoingo: why do you think that?
snackman: BingoBoingo: why actually kill him to prevent his coins from crashing the market? why not just delete his keys?
BingoBoingo: snackman: Dude invented a cryptocurrency and was paranoid as fuck? Satoshi is probably mooching off of pizza rolls someone else's mom bought
snackman: BingoBoingo: i thought you meant in someone's freezer meant dead
BingoBoingo: snackman: Who the fuck are you Jeffery Damer?
dub: he certainly eats some penus
snackman: BingoBoingo: sorry, pills
snackman: BingoBoingo: work both ways
mircea_popescu: you're too young to be taking pills.

snackman: mircea_popescu: haha where did you get that pic?
mircea_popescu: S.NSA
BingoBoingo: S.NSA is gunna kill SnapChat
jamespeerless: mircea_popescu: why have separate addresses for each bet instead of just a single address that holds bets for YES and NO?
kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-11-2013#389017 ☝︎
ozbot: #bitcoin-assets log
kakobrekla: o yeah fuck alomost forgot!
mircea_popescu: jamespeerless how do you identify who sent which ?
BingoBoingo: jamespeerless: So people can continue betting on the same position
mircea_popescu: there's numerous advantages.
jamespeerless: mircea_popescu: can't you read the from address in the transaction block?
mircea_popescu: you can but you don't want to, because this way people can send from webwallets or w/e
BingoBoingo: Sometimes you wanna hedge. Sometimes you wanna take all of the position.
jamespeerless: why can't they send from web wallets if you did a single address per bet option
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 45 @ 0.33513812 = 15.0812 BTC [-] {3}
mircea_popescu: cause if 5 peopel sent from the same wallet to the same bet your identifiocation scheme would fail
mircea_popescu: also because if i sent the winnings to the address that sent the bet people would end up fucked if they sent from a wallet.
mircea_popescu: (as most wallets don't have any way to associate their payment system to their users)
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 2539 @ 0.0028 = 7.1092 BTC [+]
snackman: nice
snackman: everything here is a scam
jamespeerless: hm I guess I don't understand "wallets" enough then.. i thought an address was an address
snackman: even mike_c didn't send his promised coins
ThickAsThieves`: lol
mircea_popescu: not practical for a web wallet to allocate addresses to users
mircea_popescu: because it has to coldstore its btc
jamespeerless: ah got it
jamespeerless: makes sense
mircea_popescu: snackman maybe he didn't include a tx fee ?
jamespeerless: seems like most wallets let you generate receiving addresses though
snackman: mircea_popescu: bahahhaahah
mircea_popescu: receiving yes. but they pay from wherever is convenient.
ThickAsThieves`: i like that setup
snackman: mircea_popescu: what a jew indeed
Vexual: i just went to my local casino and tried betting after the bell. Apparently the chips go to the house.
snackman: maybe i will meet him in the synagoge on saturday
ThickAsThieves`: very convenient when you have coins in 10 diff places
mircea_popescu: it dioes have its advantages
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves`: Who doesn't spread their coins over at least 7 places?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 250 @ 0.00288 = 0.72 BTC [+]
ThickAsThieves`: Jesus doesn;t
mircea_popescu: bitcoin jesus ?
ThickAsThieves`: which one?
mircea_popescu: Pietilla Maxwell Von Ver ?
BingoBoingo: stephengandel, that Bitcoin Jesus
ThickAsThieves`: whatever happened to IceDrill anyway?
snackman: mircea_popescu: btw, how much did you cash out?
snackman: when btc hit 1kusd?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 76 @ 0.00289 = 0.2196 BTC [+]
kakobrekla: lol
benkay: "cave early"
BingoBoingo: Unless we get into some weird gnostic Bitcoin theology where Amir Taaki was Satoshi/Jesus and then gave himself downs syndrome to hide his secret.
snackman: benkay: ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo satoshi wasn't a virgin.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: At some point he/she/monkeyfuckingapig was...
Vexual: vd in the orginal code?
mircea_popescu: well at that point satoshi wasn't satoshi yet.
benkay: well gosh snackman read the log for the past 10 days then you might have a clue as to the references
BingoBoingo: Considering earlier references in this channel has anyone seen Amir's hair yet?
ThickAsThieves`: http://www.icedrill.io
ozbot: IceDrill.ASIC: a DigiMex project
ThickAsThieves`: digital mexicoins!
mircea_popescu: what's with the .io stuff anyway ?
mircea_popescu: they're all scams!
ThickAsThieves`: mexicoin, possibly the best name for a nationcoin?
ThickAsThieves`: vaticoin
kakobrekla: i liked the .io a lot cause of the jupiters moon
asciilifeform: sovcoin.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla ya but then they went and inputsio'd all over it
mod6: i used Io once as a a scabble word and was rejected :(
kakobrekla: yea :(
mircea_popescu: (dunno if that cognate works in somalian. to enstinken)
mircea_popescu: chococoin
mircea_popescu: backed by vanilla.
BingoBoingo: Well, we will know when we've hit forbidden territory when .Europa happens.
ThickAsThieves`: so icedrill has oodles of hardware, just none that mines?
ThickAsThieves`: http://www.icedrill.io

dexX7: and are waiting for hashfast units
ThickAsThieves`: i heard hashfast is scamming
asciilifeform: what part of this couldn't have been filmed by a bored sysop anywhere on the planet?
kakobrekla: hehe BingoBoingo :)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the girl.
BingoBoingo: I know you got the reference kakobrekla
mircea_popescu: o wait, nm. wrong webpage.
kakobrekla: yeah, teh avatar is dead giva away
kakobrekla: giveaway
BingoBoingo: The only problem with HAL is that the contractor's specs insisted he be programmed to run on a Java Virtual Machine
kakobrekla: :D
Kleeck_: ThickAsThieves`, are you joking about HashFast scamming?
asciilifeform: maybe i'm just behind the times. but, picture some bozo: 'i'ma build a skyscraper. here's lots of pictures of my bulldozers, cranes! here's some cement mixers!'
Kleeck_: No. You are current with the times.
ThickAsThieves`: Kleeck I am not joking
Kleeck_: I could walk into my datacenter and snap a bunch of awesome pictures. It doesn't mean I'm mining a damn thing.
Kleeck_: ThickAsThieves`, any data that lead you that direction? I have no skin in that game, but I've wondered. It's just a hunch.
ThickAsThieves`: a friend is considering legal counsel against Hashfast
asciilifeform: the sane people version: 'built a skyscraper. here's what it'll cost ya per sq. m. come in?'
mike_c: snackman: have some faith! my wallet is sync'ing. you'll have it soon.
ThickAsThieves`: that's all i know
Kleeck_: Due to the delays?
ThickAsThieves`: i didnt ask for details
ThickAsThieves`: he was looking for a referral
mike_c: transactions aren't instantaneous you know ;)
Kleeck_: I see.
Kleeck_: Not YET, mike_c
snackman: mike_c: hope dies last
dexX7: hashfast is not shipping/delayed more than a month now
Kleeck_: Don't they have a compensation program?
dexX7: they have some strange refund policies, if you mean that
snackman: ThickAsThieves`: why is hashfast scamming?
ThickAsThieves`: same reason as all scammers i assume
ThickAsThieves`: it was the plan, or it became the plan
asciilifeform: man jumps in front of moving bus. considers legal action against bus.
Kleeck_: The cost of being legit is far less appealing than the old "cut and run" I'd assume.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform originally this started as a hobbyst project.
mircea_popescu: people don't have 10k laying around the house.
mircea_popescu: consequently, the first fpga's were pretty much a potluck affair
mircea_popescu: that system worked
mircea_popescu: (everyone delivered, even bfl)
mircea_popescu: it was stretched past its usability into insanity by a desperate desire and need for stability. bitcoin doesn't offer much of that,
mircea_popescu: so people naturally tried to stick to what works
mircea_popescu: that's pretty much the story of how we ended up with the insanity.
mircea_popescu: Kleeck_ people fail to correctly value reputations.
Kleeck_: There is some truth to that, mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of truth to it. let's lay it out : bozo comes in when bitcoin is 1 year old, can start a reputation within a week and be doing business within am onth.
mircea_popescu: he imagines the value of this is 1 month.
mircea_popescu: two years later, he needs to be 1 year+ old to be even considered, because now bitcoin is 4 years old.
BingoBoingo: Seems for Litecoin devotees this insanity is going to be magnified as CoinDesk has just reprinted so many people's "press releases" about impending litecoin ASICs and if a single manufacterer delivers it will have meant Litecoin skipped that awkward FPGA adolescence while still staying a fraction of a fraction of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: he goes on forum as a week old and is shocked at how mean people are, telling him to do 6 motynhs + of reading before he opens his mouth again
mircea_popescu: somewhere in there he failed to account for the fact that having kept his reputation intact for those two years is just about as valuable as having kept his bitcoins for two years.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 830 @ 0.00289 = 2.3987 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: in fact, everyone evaluates their bitcoin exposure in terms of what their bitcoin holdings are. this is about half the story.
mircea_popescu: the other half is your wot account.
Kleeck_: I agree.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i dunno that anyone will ever deliver ltc asics. putting all that memory on a chip is not trivial.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 568 @ 0.00289784 = 1.646 BTC [+] {3}
mircea_popescu: ironically because of scrypt, fpgas are actually a much better choice for ltc than asics
mircea_popescu: unless, of course, you're sony or something.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I figure for some unknow n^th announcement one person or group will inevitably be crazy enough to produce the asics
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 294 @ 0.0029 = 0.8526 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: if such things were a function of people's crazyness...
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 78 @ 0.0029 = 0.2262 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: things like "some chick is crazy enough to produce a pic of a large wooden object stuck in her snatch" is one thing
mircea_popescu: "some guy makes an airplane" is altogether different
BingoBoingo: For all we know the person bankrolling LTC ASICs could be Curt Schilling and the Engineer could be some kid he picked on in highschool who merely has to fulfill the objective of making any LTC capable scrypt ASIC at all. Not necessarily anything close to a profitable scrypt asic.
mircea_popescu: for all we know i'm satoshi, and you're snackman
BingoBoingo: Of course. Maybe I'm Usagi?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 392 @ 0.0029 = 1.1368 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: you got too big tits and too much beard to be usagi.
cazalla: thought Curt Schilling was bankrupt after his no show mmorpg
BingoBoingo: I may have plenty of beard, but I'll be damned if my tits are bigger than a grown man named Oliver's.
mircea_popescu: cazalla me too actually.
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Bankruptcy is just a fresh start
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well one's enough.
snackman: mircea_popescu: i'm snackman
benkay: no i'm snackman
cazalla: i don't know if any of you played EQ but Curt Schilling was a regular on fohguild forums

ThickAsThieves`: is this ltc asic news why it's rallying?
ThickAsThieves`: or a diff change?

asciilifeform: consider the trivial case of RSA with lowest bit in 'p' or 'q' (pubkey = PxQ) flipped.
dub: wonder if there is any research into encouraging them

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 500 @ 0.0029 = 1.45 BTC [+] {2}

jamespeerless: so your outlook on the future of bit coin protocol is bleak?
mircea_popescu: im not sure what you're asking.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, rather than have you shoot in the dark, here's the story :
jamespeerless: if you're saying the current dev's contributing to bit coin are no good and its clear bit coin will require more work to be 'production ready' then without some change the future is bleak
jamespeerless: is what i meant
mircea_popescu: 1. bitcoin was released as a prototype. that means something specific, and what it means doesn't include "to be used for any actual purpose". prototypes are there to test.
mircea_popescu: 2. people started using it anyway, because it was there. this is how things usually work.
mircea_popescu: 3. once satoshi left the dev team never recovered. it's roughly what the linux dev team would be if linus left.
mircea_popescu: basically a collection of people with poor iq and worse skills, hanging on because they perceive this as sexy, and imagine hanging on makes them somehow important.
mircea_popescu: 4. at the right time (ie 2012) i pointed out to them that their only chance to maintain any semblance of relevance is to fully specify the code.
mircea_popescu: this, obviously, is a very hard task. they, aware of their intellectual limitations, eschewed this task.
mircea_popescu: 5. the situation has evolved in the exact direction i was expecting : absent a specification everyone is using their own in house concoctions.
ThickAsThieves: i smell a blog post coming on
mircea_popescu: this will aggravate over time, with miners and large merchants all pushing on the code,
jamespeerless: how can it work if everyone is using their own in-house modified version yet they all need to communicate together
mircea_popescu: and with "the network accepts it" as pretty much the only measure of good or evil.
mircea_popescu: well that's just it, the network blindly decides.
mircea_popescu: this will be a major resource black hole in the coming years, but it does not threaten the system itself.
mircea_popescu: if anything, it makes the system stronger.
KRS|gotyawallet: the anatomy of a blog post
mircea_popescu: it DOES however threaten any one actor, and ESPECIALLY actors acting on deluded presumptions,
mircea_popescu: such as the snackman kid.
jamespeerless: doesn't this lend itself to a couple big corps from releasing their own widely adopted forks.. similar to os x and the 5000 flavors of linux?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13545 @ 0.00081026 = 10.975 BTC [-]

mircea_popescu: as long as those big corps don't actually have big btc, they aren't big corps
mircea_popescu: they just thing themselves big.
ThickAsThieves: how does one "release" a "widely adopted" fork?
mircea_popescu: exactly.
mircea_popescu: 0.8 is a widely adopted fork.
mircea_popescu: so ?

mircea_popescu: i've had people spend 1000s of hours modelling this point, as it's the one most important point in all bitcoin
jamespeerless: yeah guess as long as they don't have any way to make money off of it, it won't happen
mircea_popescu: i'm not seeing anything particularly worrisome
pankkake: or, in p2p, the most popular networks: ed2k and bittorrent

ozbot: Why Regulate Bitcoin? : The New Yorker
ThickAsThieves: "There may, however, be good cause for regulation. There have been several high-profile thefts of bitcoins recently, including a hacker attack last week on a Czech exchange called Bitcash.cz that emptied four thousand digital wallets belonging to customers. Also this month, an eighteen-year-old man in Australia who was running a Bitcoin “bank” announced that more than four thousand
ThickAsThieves: bitcoins had been stolen from his Web site, most of them belonging to users. In any industry, one of the strongest arguments in favor of regulation is the need for consumer protection—something bitcoin currently lacks."
ThickAsThieves: lol so US regulation will also help the Czech and Aus?
mircea_popescu: if one of the strongest arguments in favour of regulation really is the perceived need for consumer protection,
pankkake: I wasn't aware regulation prevented stealing
mircea_popescu: regulation has very poor chances.
ThickAsThieves: regulation can protect the whole internet guys
ThickAsThieves: cmon
mircea_popescu: adding to the amusement in romanian that verb basically means "to fuck"
mircea_popescu: a polite way of saying it, as "he set her straight, sexually speaking" would be in english
pankkake: un bon coup de bite
ThickAsThieves: i still worry that eventually the only answer will be scary loss of net neutrality
ThickAsThieves: but maybe that will spur better internets

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves amusingly, bitcoin resolves definitively the issue of net neutrality.

mircea_popescu: i guess we shall see.
Duffer1: at least in america the net neutrality issue also involves isp bandwidth limiting and paywalling

mircea_popescu: any isp is free to issue you whatever contract they want, and you don't have to take it.
mircea_popescu: as long as there's ppl holding bitcoins, there will be a market to provide them with internet.

Azelphur: stephengandel: this is the channel, so just ask questions in here
Azelphur: they don't need to be aimed at anyone specific
ThickAsThieves: there are several competent and experienced people here that may be able to answer different questions best
stephengandel: OK. On ICBIT there is a BTC/USC 12.13 contract that has a range of prices all above the current price of a bitcoin to USD. So I am guessing these are the strike prices? I was told that a contract costs $10. But that can't be the same for all the strike prices. I am trying to figure out what it costs to sell futures contract.
ThickAsThieves: ah, one thing I can tell you is you will find more ICBIT users in #bitcoin-analysis
ThickAsThieves: it is not trusted by some in here
stephengandel: OK, Can I find the same info for coinbr?
ThickAsThieves: youre in the right room for coinbr
ThickAsThieves: jurov runs it
jurov`: stephengandel: i'm the owner of coinbr
ThickAsThieves: and mircea_popescu runs MPEx, the exchange it brokers with
jurov`: All options are priced in bitcoins, and the prices are publisjed on http://mpex.co
stephengandel: OK. On MPEx, what does it mean that the price of o.usd.co50T is 0.785
stephengandel: sorry, 0.0785?
stephengandel: Is that of a bitcoin?
jurov`: it's call to buy 0.1btc for $50
jurov`: (that means price per 1BTC would be $500)
jurov`: and on exercise, you will get (in bitcoins) the difference between intrinsic value and current 24h weighed price
jurov`: or nothing, if price is <=500
stephengandel: intrinsic value is 500 for this contract.
stephengandel: And that'
stephengandel: that's if I buy.
stephengandel: what if I sell the contract?
ThickAsThieves: you can sell it for any price you like
ThickAsThieves: if you are trying to write and sell options that's a bit different
stephengandel: Yes. Trying to bet on a drop in the price of bitcoins.
ThickAsThieves: you might need to talk to Mircea
Apocalyptic: then you would buy put contracts
Apocalyptic: not calls
ThickAsThieves: not sure if jurov facilitates writing via coinbr
stephengandel: or sell calls?

stephengandel: Is it the same if I go through coinbr as MPEx?

ThickAsThieves: he might even have details in the FAQ
jurov`: stephengandel: yes it's the same, unless you get margin form mircea_popescu
ThickAsThieves: an MPEx account is 30btc, or 25btc with referral

jurov`: No
jurov`: 30BTC is account directly on MPEx.
stephengandel: I don't understand.
jurov`: CoinBr offers account for free, only with small monthly fees
jurov`: because it's a broker that enables users to use one shared mpex account
ThickAsThieves: wouldnt mircea require a direct account for margin users?
jurov`: Yes, if you insist on margin, it's probably best to talk to mircea_popescu directly.

assbot: [MPEX:^OIX] 1D: 0 / 0 / 0 (0 shares, 0 BTC), 7D: / 112.71463735 / 112.71463735 (3170 shares, 119.21 BTC), 30D: 0 / 0 / 0 (0 shares, 0 BTC)
Apocalyptic: <stephengandel> OK. spread on the p050 contract appears to be huge // market makers make money from spread
stephengandel: So for the p080 contract, it would cost me roughly $1.70 to but the contract., with bitcoins at a current 1100. What would I make if bitcoins go down to 1000 or 900?
ThickAsThieves: you would lose money
stephengandel: But I bought a put?
ThickAsThieves: last i checked all the options require extreme price movement to profit
ThickAsThieves: 10-15% wont even be close
stephengandel: Do bitcoins have to go down to 800 for the p080 contract to be worth something, or below 800?
ThickAsThieves: they have to offset your premium
stephengandel: Is it different if I was selling a call vs. buying a put?
ThickAsThieves: Namworld, is your calculator still functional?
stephengandel: Seems like selling a call I could make money even if they went down a little bit?
stephengandel: But then I would need margin? Correct?
ThickAsThieves: yes
jurov`: *If* anyne buys it
ThickAsThieves: well the bot might
ThickAsThieves: but the price would still need to move a decent amount
ThickAsThieves: and you'd be shaving small %
jurov`: yes, if you sell to bot, you need large price movement
stephengandel: And also I have the problem that all of this would be settled in bitcoins, so any money I made on the futures bet against bitcoins would be offset by the fact that I own bitcoins, which would be worth less in dollars.
stephengandel: Just trying to figure out the calculation. Anyway you could run me through the transaction?
ThickAsThieves: well you'd be buying the bitcoins at a lower price than the current value if you surpass your premium
ThickAsThieves: so you could then sell them at a profit
stephengandel: what if bought a p110, which is essentially where the price is now right? It would cost me $6.19 a contract. Is that right?
jurov`: ;;calc 0.04537758*1079
gribble: 48.96240882
stephengandel: So if the price of a bitcoin went down to 1000 when the contract settled, I would make $10 minus the cost of the contract, or $3.80
jurov`: ^ it's $49
ThickAsThieves: juriv is showing you that you have your cost wrong
stephengandel: but that's the price to sell. I am buying a put.
stephengandel: So I have to pay the selling price to buy a put?
ThickAsThieves: there are puts for sale with their own prices
ThickAsThieves: of course
jurov`: SELL QTY means mpex is selling to you
mike_c: ThickAsThieves: you don't need margin to write/sell options on mpex. you just put up btc as collateral.
jurov`: hence, price 0.0453775 applies
ThickAsThieves: I see
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 735 @ 0.00299944 = 2.2046 BTC [+] {3}
stephengandel: OK so it would cost me $49, and if a bitcoin drops to 1000, then I lose $39. For me to start making bitcoins have to drop to $610. Is that right?
ThickAsThieves: sounds right
jurov`: yes
stephengandel: And then I have the problem that I have to convert that back to dollars, and in doing that I will have lost money on my bitcoins because they will have dropped in value.
jurov`: no you will get the $49 back in bitcoins at current rate
jurov`: so you'll be even
stephengandel: Not at the rate on the day the contract settles?
jurov`: they are american, so you can exercise them anytime
stephengandel: even in bitcoins, but not in dollars?
jurov`: and current rate at exercise time applies
jurov`: what do you mean?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 84 @ 0.003 = 0.252 BTC [+] {4}
mike_c: no, even in dollars, that's the point. It's a hedge against bitcoin dropping
ThickAsThieves: hence Buying the Put
ThickAsThieves: rather than selling it
mike_c: thestringpuller:oh man whoever wrote those options is over exposed << not if they aren't speculating. if it is a miner hedging, then they aren't over-exposed.
stephengandel: from the beginning, I buy my 0.1 bitcoin to open the account, which currently costs $110. Then I buy the put for $49, or 0.04537758 of a bitcoin, and then I have 0.05468842 left in my account. Let say the price of a bit coin drops to $500, and I exercise the option. I will get 0.12 bit coins when I exersize.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 286 @ 0.0031181 = 0.8918 BTC [+] {2}
ThickAsThieves: gogogo NEOBEE!
stephengandel: add that to what I had left in my account, and I will have a total of 0.17468842 BTCs.

stephengandel: jurov, is that right?
stephengandel: Something I am missing?
ThickAsThieves: pankkake, yes, but the investor site is not fully functional it seems
ThickAsThieves: so some shares are locked but not purchased
pankkake: I wonder if this is a "must have shares now" or not knowing
ThickAsThieves: i dont even know how many are actually sold now :/
ThickAsThieves: waiting for access
jurov`: stephengandel: you buy the option for $49 and exercise them to get $60 back
jurov`: don't mix the bticoin you are holding long into there
stephengandel: I know but I will get it back in bitcoins, not dollars, correct?
ThickAsThieves: why does that matter
ThickAsThieves: sell them
jurov`: you will bet B0.12 *500 = $60
jurov`: *get
ThickAsThieves: obv you need to be doing higher volume than one option to make money anyway, so exchange fees wont be an issue
stephengandel: what are the exchange fees?
ThickAsThieves: check your exchange
stephengandel: on coinbr?
ThickAsThieves: coinbr is not an exchange
jurov`: coinbr does not touch fiat
stephengandel: ok on mpeX
ThickAsThieves: them either
mike_c: Buy 0.1 BTC for $110. Buy two P110T for 0.09 BTC. price drops to 500. Excercise for .24 btc. total btc is now 0.25 btc worth $125. go party with $15 gain.
jurov`: mpex either
ThickAsThieves: you want coinbase or campbx or mtgox or bitstamp
ThickAsThieves: etc
jurov`: you neex fiat-to-bitcoin exchange, like mtgox
ThickAsThieves: etc
stephengandel: yes, that's my point. since all of this will be done in bitcoins, when I exchange back, won't I lose money, but maybe I have this wrong?
Namworld: Is it me or is the breakeven on calls in the 15000+ USD/BTC?
mike_c: see my example.

iamnot_: whatever happened to XBOND? I don´t see it on Havelock anymore...
pankkake: iamnot_: recalled :(
mike_c: scam!
mike_c: (j/k)
stephengandel: mike_c, if I just do one contract. I lose money, right? Because I was sitting with bitcoins, or because of the leverage? Maybe both?
mike_c: right, if you are shorting you want to only buy as many bitcoins as it takes to buy the number of options you want
mike_c: otherwise you are exposed with the leftover btc
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 47 @ 0.00323999 = 0.1523 BTC [+] {2}
iamnot_: pankkake: ´recalled´ sounds bad. does that mean TAT bought back everyone´s bonds?
jurov`: so, fund the account just to buy 3 options. problem solved
jurov`: you will invest 3*$49 equivalent, you will get back (if $500) 3*$60 equivalent
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 6 @ 0.33000024 = 1.98 BTC [-] {3}
pankkake: iamnot_: yes. but it's not bad, anyone buying it at ip(v)o benifited heavily from divs + early 105% recall
stephengandel: And if I buy two contracts and instead the price goes up by 54% or to $1694, then I lose what?
stephengandel: Just what it cost me to buy the puts or more?
jurov`: everything. the option becomes worthless.
mike_c: your options expire worthless, so you just lose what you paid.
iamnot_: pankkake: hmm i see. yes, i miss daily dividends. hopefully something else will come along.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.33 BTC [-]
stephengandel: I guess that's the advantage of buying a put rather than selling a call. Because if I sold a call I could lose an unlimited amount.
jurov`: no, you will at most lose the collateral
mike_c: right, selling has higher risk profile.
pankkake: I hope so; I have not invested elsewhere really
jurov`: if you wrote the option
stephengandel: But again, to sell a call I would have to open a MPEx account?
stephengandel: is wrote an option the same as selling a call?
jurov`: stephengandel: no, coinbr allows you to write options under the same conditions as mpex
mike_c: jurov`: is that true? i would expect that if the loss was higher than collateral the difference would come out of your mpex account.
jurov`: only thing we won't do, is to provide margin
jurov`: you understand the difference between collateral and margin?
stephengandel: Not really. How much collateral would I have to put up?
stephengandel: strike / spot BTCUSD + some MPEx-proprietary padding
jurov`: yes
jurov`: if the exercise requires more, that's up for MPEx to pay
ThickAsThieves: <iamnot_> pankkake: hmm i see. yes, i miss daily dividends. hopefully something else will come along. <<<< Don't hold your breath, no one serious and not scammy enjoys providing daily divs
jurov`: but that would also mean bitcoin falling catastctphically

stephengandel: strike / spot BTCUSD + some MPEx-proprietary padding.
stephengandel: or $495
ThickAsThieves: i dont know that one, i assume the collateral is the full value
ThickAsThieves: .1
ThickAsThieves: but you need to ask someone else for sure
asciilifeform: simple test of your security arrangements. if your PC were to fall into enemy hands, would he know how much BTC you have? (or where.)
jurov`: stephengandel: the info on the forum is obsolete, as the lot changed from 1BTC into 0.1BTC
asciilifeform: if the answer is yes, consider it to already belong to the enemy.
jurov`: so just divide the collateral by 10
asciilifeform: why do you suppose the 'legit' exchanges want your government id? precisely to simplify confiscation.
asciilifeform: 'aha, you bought 100btc. where is it now? we have this here soldering iron, and you have an arse...'
stephengandel: OK. So only 0.045 of a bitcoing. And it says the last price on a call for 050 is 0.05232243. So that's what someone would pay me if I could write a call?
Vexual: TAT, there might be a market for some satoshi dust for petty jilted lovers
jurov`: oh and people, i'm still searching a decent writer to put the stuff together.. there really isn't anyone who can make the time for some btc?
jurov`: stephengandel: if you actually sell that for 0.05m, you'll be damned lucky
Vexual: tehcneciel riting? i canod et
stephengandel: OK. but the collateral piece is right. Only 0.045. That seems doable.
jurov`: it needs not be technical.. just that poor fortune redactor can inderstand it
stephengandel: You're trying to pay freelance writers in bitcoins. Is that what you are saying?
stephengandel: If I took that contract I would have to hedge, right?
stephengandel: How do I do that? Just kidding.
jurov`: hedge what?
Vexual: tounge in cheek? eds and sics?

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 50 @ 0.003 = 0.15 BTC [-]
nubbins`: the obvious defence is to say you lost it all on asicminer shares.
stephengandel: I could open a bitcoin account on coinbr for 0.1 and then if I could get someone to take it write a call option. Right? Sounds like 0.1 is enough collateral.
jurov`: yes, should be (also depending on which option you want)
stephengandel: Do you have any idea how much I would make if I sold a call and bitcoins went to $500. I don't know how to do that math.
nubbins`: at the risk of being cheeky, you might wish to learn the math before you start moving money around :)
nubbins`: although i guess that's one of the reasons why you're here, hey?
stephengandel: Yes. Call option pricing more than just regular math
ThickAsThieves: to add to the cheekiness, are suuuuure you wanna bet on BTC falling that much?
nubbins`: heh
ThickAsThieves: and then who's gonna buy your call?
nubbins`: i don't bet anymore, or even invest
nubbins`: i just hold
stephengandel: But was able to figure out put price so half way there.
stephengandel: Is that the same with the put, or do you think I would find someone that would sell me a put with 1100 strike price

jurov`: and once on coinbr account, you'll be free to odo with them as you please
ThickAsThieves: nice
jurov`: *er.. fix: 0.033
stephengandel: so you are saying I could get a better price than the 0.045 we were talking about before?
jurov`: yes. instead of the bot, i will write the options and sell to you
stephengandel: So the prices on mpex aren't real?
jurov`: there's a bot a marketmaker, and her prices are real
jurov`: but anyone can offer other price
jurov`: also real
stephengandel: And I could get a better price from you?
kakobrekla: is this real life?
stephengandel: What's the price if I wanted to sell the 050 call?
stephengandel: I guess what would you pay me?
stephengandel: Still don't understand how to figure out what that would be worth if the price of a bitcoin drops
ThickAsThieves: kakobrekla, no this is IRC
ThickAsThieves: just take the value you want it to settle at
ThickAsThieves: and subract your premium
jurov`: current intrinsic value of C050 is about $650 = B0.565
jurov`: oh sry that would be for 10 of them
jurov`: one is B0.0565
jurov`: mhm...i'd pay 0.06. i'm not so sure it will go up so much.
