francis_wolke: The designated occasion for clearing Babylonia's financial slate was the New Year festival, celebrated in the spring. Babylonian rulers oversaw the ritual "breaking of the tablets," that is, the debt records, restoring economic balance as part of the cyclical renewal of society along with the rest of nature. Hammurabi and his fellow rulers signaled
francis_wolke: these proclamations by raising a torch, probably symbolizing the sun-god of justice Shamash, whose principles where supposed to guide wise and fair rulers. Persons held as debt pledges were released to rejoin their families. Other debtors were restored cultivation rights to their customary lands, free of whatever mortgage liens had accumulated.
francis_wolke: Over the next several thousand years, this same list -- canceling the debts, destroying the records, reallocating the land -- was to become the standard list of demands of peasant revolutionaries everywhere. In Mesopotamia, rulers appear to have headed off the possibility of unrest by instituting such reforms themselves, as a grand gesture of cosmi

mircea_popescu: yes well. back in those days a one year interval was far outside the mental abilities of even "specialist" "bankers" to plan.
mircea_popescu: the fact that the bulk of the live humans are about as stupid today as in 3000 bc has little bearing

francis_wolke: And how do you get rid of $18 trillion in debt? And school loans. And housing loans. etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect the problem is more like this : if i give you a debt package, there will be a cost to evaluate its value. if that cost likely exceeds its value, you may opt to just throw the whole thing away.
mircea_popescu: not everybody needs a college degree, even if they're white, and even if their parents have "expectations".

francis_wolke: There is nothing interesting there anyway. Just an 'about' with one sentence.
francis_wolke: asciilifeform: That we're living in a world without Manhattan projects.
francis_wolke: asciilifeform: Actually, I'd be interested in a reading list irrespective of that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now you're screwed, it looks like you'll have to write that article
mircea_popescu: francis_wolke let's consider a simpler alternative. obama fdr and lincoln all broke the law, grossly. in all cases the courts duly signed off on this.
mircea_popescu: in the first case, the guy was able to cause civil war.
mircea_popescu: in the second case, the guy was able to cause massive resource redistribution
mircea_popescu: in the third case, the guy was able to not cause anything outside of measurement error.
mircea_popescu: the reason of course being ideological convergence, which happens because of the law of large numbers :
mircea_popescu: when you have simple ideologies, you have much easier coherence. thus activity with greatly leveraged effect.
mircea_popescu: as things progress the complexity of ideology grows and so grows the number of boxes in which we put balls. soon enough you have no box with over X balls.

mircea_popescu: the limits on the largeness of scale and importance are placed by said law of large numbers.

francis_wolke: asciilifeform: To clarify, I'd imagine that anyone with enough money / power would be interested in the possiblity of radical life extension (Peter Theil, MP, Satoshi) if / when the tech is there. As such, if I were smart enough to create btc, I'd certainly team up with the most powerful country, so that if the tech does get 'there', I'll be ready.
mircea_popescu: why do you think so ? i wouldn't personally be interested in such.
mircea_popescu: i mean marginally, like i'm interested in whatever new chick takes her top off, but otherwise...
francis_wolke: mircea_popescu: You wouldn't opt for another 400 years?

mircea_popescu: francis_wolke but you never engaged my argument at all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, the romans used the salt mines (in transylvania) to much the same effect.
francis_wolke: mircea_popescu: You simply don't have to tell all that many people when you're creating a new currency - and even if you do, who is going to listen?
mircea_popescu: "go fight in the arena for glory or rot in turda salt mine boi"
mircea_popescu: francis_wolke but a new currency isn't a manhattan project.
francis_wolke: mircea_popescu: Ah - but that's what I'm getting at - I think it was.
mircea_popescu: creating a new currency is like fucking an altar boy. nobody needs to know anything.
benkay: francis_wolke: have you read the source?
mircea_popescu: a manhattan project is like escavating a tunnel under the nunnery.
benkay: sophisticated engineering project it ain't
benkay: crypto minds deployed against it, for sure

ozbot: The conference, second edition pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: Dolchstoßlegende is the notion, widely believed in right-wing circles in Germany after 1918, that the German Army did not lose World War I but was instead betrayed by the civilians on the home front, especially the republicans who overthrew the monarchy. Advocates denounced the German government leaders who signed the Armistice on November 11, 1918, as the "November Criminals" (German: Novemberverbrecher).
mircea_popescu: now, can we transpose the manhattan argument in terms of novemberverbrecher argument ?
mircea_popescu: ie, could we say the same things we say of our current fashion (ie, large scale tech project) about yesteryear's fashion ?
mircea_popescu: the only difference being that in the 2000s humanity is fed by technology, whereas in 1900 it was fed by politics, which meant, of course, deploying the force of arms to acquire wealth.
mircea_popescu: francis_wolke you'll ahve to put that in the form of a question.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform keeps giving us these immortality pills, we'll be here forever.
mircea_popescu: speaking of lays : benkay take the girls pic, post it, have her come by i'll give her a bitcoin so she can build her independent wealth.

deanclkclk: thing is..I'm creating an exchange i'm kinda limited to okpay to do this
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk perhaps you've not thought this though that much.
deanclkclk: especially when you get an account..you also get a bank account

mircea_popescu: it's not something to be started to fill an idle hour in the afternoon, like wittling.
deanclkclk: I have a value added propition mircea_popescu nad what I'm bring is like high frequency trading
deanclkclk: buyer wants more ..seller wants less...the trading will be automated where we try to get the best price for both buyer and seller
deanclkclk: and in some cases..they can get more dollars ..as in the case of the trader and more btc in the case of the buyer
benkay: nope. do not understand. i must be idiots.
mircea_popescu: do you by any chance misrepresent "hft" to mean "a simulacra of amazon's autobid function" ?
Duffer1: you propose to allow buy/sell a price different than quoted?
deanclkclk: the buyer puts his max bid and the seller puts there minium ask price
deanclkclk: the algorithm goes through the list and find the best price for both buyer and seller Duffer1
benkay: HE'S INVENTED THE ORDER BOOK
Duffer1: how is that different than a regular order book
deanclkclk: so the seller might get more fiat and the buyer might get more btc
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk you may not like to hear this, but nevertheless it's a fact : you're really not able to do this. for your own sake do it for something light, like a play crypto.
mircea_popescu: well there are many fundamental points you're unable to consider.
Duffer1: when you lose everyone's money for them it will hurt more than when you lose everyone's memecoin
mircea_popescu: i would imagine it's a combination of youth and whatever else.
deanclkclk: how am I loosing people's money when I said ..the objective is for folks to get more
benkay: well it's a zero sum game, homie
deanclkclk: a trade...we find the lease expensive ask and the highest bid and trade
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 5 @ 0.06899999 = 0.345 BTC [+]
benkay: so this is not an open problem
Duffer1: you clearly don't understand enough of what's involved to be put yourself in a position of responsibility for other's money
deanclkclk: as oppose just stating random things..state in what instance I'm a "too fucking stupid"
Duffer1: ok what's your area of expertise?
benkay: deanclkclk: matching the lowest ask and highest bid is the baseline for an exchange.
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk don't take it personally. i have no particular interest in the matter.
deanclkclk: I made 2 or 3 statements and all of a sudden...I'm too fucking stupid
benkay: it is completely unspecial.
mircea_popescu: well yes. we can see what statements you make and compare.
benkay: deanclkclk: why does this matter?
deanclkclk: basically I just get the quantity I ask for
benkay: deanclkclk: you're unfortunately trading on exchanges run by derpy web developers that don't match orders like professionals, and so you come to the conclusion that order matching is a) a hard problem and b) something you're qualified to handle.
deanclkclk: why wouldn't anyone want to get more BTC if the purpose of the site is to find the least ask trade
pankkake: as far as I know btc-e does things properly
benkay: furthermore, the problem you're trying to solve is not actually a problem. it's a flaw in your perceptions of trading.
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk because people generally want to get what they want to get.
Duffer1: now you're going to walk off and do it anyways, stay and talk
mircea_popescu: the only programmer here is benkay and we only keep him around cause his gf.
deanclkclk: people want to get what they ask for? that doesn't make any business sense
deanclkclk: so I don't know what planet u people are from
Duffer1: much learning for you young padawan
pankkake: but if you want more, just ask for more. your ask might not get fully filled, so? that was the price you wanted
deanclkclk: it's not guaranteed but, hte bare minimum they get what the actually bid and ask were
mircea_popescu: maybe there could be a coin dedicated to this concept.
mircea_popescu: each transfer yields more coins i nthe recipient address than were sent
deanclkclk: guy..do you know how market works...prices change on the fly
deanclkclk: so if I put this bid and the price sinks...I'm would be a happy camper
pankkake: you'd have to know the future indeed
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk so you want to specify orders by the other part of the pair, basically ?
mircea_popescu: sells specified in dollars, buys in bitcoin for the btc/usd pair ?
deanclkclk: by the bare minimum...the traders would get what they ask for....X dollars for the seller and X BTC for the buyer
deanclkclk: but, there could be a case where Seller and Buyer gets more depending on the trade
deanclkclk: the purpose is to find the highest bid and the lowest ask
pankkake: you should write a proof of concept (without any actual monies involved)
pankkake: well then perhaps I'll understand your proposal
deanclkclk: so for instance...I put 100 for 1 BTC and I find a ask for 95
deanclkclk: I save $5 dollars and I can use that 5 dollars to get an additional satososhi
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 9 @ 0.07000003 = 0.63 BTC [-] {4}
Namworld: How do you find such lower ask/higher bid so buyer/seller gets more? All bids/asks are all already there when someone place an order.
pankkake: if I put 100 for 1 BTC and there is an ask at 95, I'm already getting that bitcoin at 95
ozbot: Teen kills self after streaking backlash | New York Post
Jere_Jones: You plan on doing this *on* the blockchain?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 5 @ 0.13199988 = 0.66 BTC [+] {3}
Namworld: You don't spend that $5 because there is a ask lower than 100 per BTC at 95.
Namworld: That's what happen. You get 5 dollar + a BTC
deanclkclk: so why not find another satoshi for the 5 bucks?
Duffer1: or if you do a market buy, the 5$ buys from the next order inline
deanclkclk: well that's not my experience with other exchanges folks...sorry
Namworld: You CAN select to buy 100 dollar of BTC. The exchange already finds the lowest asks and gets as much BTC as possible.
Namworld: You can select amount to buy/sell in dollar or in BTC already.
Namworld: You already get the best ask/bid.
Namworld: That's how all exchanges already work.

pankkake: yeah I think it's 2016 blocks, of 512 sec blocks
deanclkclk: can you cancel a trade that's partially filled on these exchanges?
Duffer1: every exchange i've used ya
Namworld: MtGox, Bitstamp, BTC-E, you name it.
Namworld: I don't know of one that doesn't.
pankkake: look, if you don't allow cancelling, you're going to end up with nonsense very quickly
Duffer1: note that half of those are dead, and the others are questionably/likely scams
deanclkclk: I've used btc-e and no way in hell I could cancel a trade that was partially filled
Duffer1: it's highlighted in yellow in the order book and all open positions are visible below the order book, scroll down
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves at the rate we're going we soon might. you know the joke with the cadet and his horse?
Duffer1: yellow or grey i forget, it's been a while, when you mouse over it you can cancel

pankkake: I'm an eternal curious finance noob

pankkake: if only being a hater was a job
Duffer1: well mpoe-pr, so jealous :(
mircea_popescu: i think most people go into the press trying to make a job out of it.
deanclkclk: so for traders here..what do you guys would want out of an exchange that your currently not getting?
Namworld: Which I don't think is feasible to begin with.
deanclkclk: meaning if you loose 100% of your BTC..u get back say full or partial?
benkay: i want bad trade insurance
benkay: i want that 50 sat back plz
Duffer1: nono if (when) the exchange is compromised and the hot/cold wallets stolen it's insured
mircea_popescu: how come every day there's some doofus who does nothing but parts and joins ;/
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk so make a perpetuum mobile then, why you wasting your time with this crap.
deanclkclk: the only ones credible I know are the ones registered with finrar
deanclkclk: but, most traders don't want to be tracked
Namworld: There's already BTC-e to not be tracked. They don't require any verification as far as I know.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 28818 @ 0.0008757 = 25.2359 BTC [+] {4}
Namworld: The registered ones are not typically insured.
deanclkclk: yes i know but, coinmkt requires social security
Duffer1: i don't know of any one that is insured
deanclkclk: how must of you guys get your money to exchanges? bank transfer?
deanclkclk: and the fees doesn't matter to you guys right?
pankkake: there are fees for bank transfers?
Namworld: I don't know of any fiat transfer mechanism without fees.
deanclkclk: no...apologies. I was talking about trading fees
Namworld: What about them? What do you want to do?
ThickAsThieves: i dont quite understand the OpenEx withdrawal process, but we'll see...
Namworld: Well that wouldn't get me at all.
Namworld: I don't care about lower fees.
pankkake: davout: about insured deposits on exchanges

deanclkclk: Again, I just started out in trading about 4 months ago but, I'm a programmer
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk dude srsly, nobody is using the thing of an unknown. you were here in channel when this happened, openx just lost all its business because Apocalyptic.
Namworld: You've just proposed x then y then z upon seeing the first things were already there so wouldn't work. If you couldn't figure it out, you're not fit to handle customer Bitcoins. Because when first thing will work, there won't be other things to try.
pankkake: well Apocalyptic doesn't know how to configure a mail server so I'm still waiting for the activation mail
Namworld: I'm basically not going to touch anything you'd do.
deanclkclk: those were all my value proposition ..I couldn't just come and spill everything
deanclkclk: I asked one at a time to get a feel of what people want
mircea_popescu: and Namworld comes to the same conclusion everyone else did, but after putting more effort and time into it.
Namworld: I just wanted to go through all the details of why no one here is interested.
pankkake: my server greylists things that do not have SPF or proper SPF
Duffer1: people want trust (web of trust), people want competence (any experience in finance or handling other's significant amounts of money?)
deanclkclk: finance is good but, also tech expertise
deanclkclk: most of the problem with exchanges are tech experience
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk get over that. techs are monkeys. nobody cares.
pankkake: Apocalyptic: 1) add a SPF record to x-bt.com 2) if possible set your reverse dns in something x-bt.com - that will reduce your amount of spaminess greatly
benkay: deanclkclk: incorrect.
benkay: deanclkclk: tech is a trivial thing.
Namworld: I know you didn't mircea, just a random fact I wanted to add to it.
Namworld: With that, I'm gone. Got to meet with the family.
deanclkclk: so I need to signup to WOT. I haven't done so
benkay: you also need to read the thing you were linked way back up miles above
benkay: "so you want to start a bitcoin business"
mircea_popescu: but it didn't apply to him, because that was for all the OTHER kids.
Duffer1: MP you should have PR add 'dat variety speak' article to her start a business thread
pankkake: I don't know who Apocalyptic is but people I trust seem to trust him
mircea_popescu: the news at 5, a string of mistakes that eventually annul each other if long enough.
benkay: Duffer1: people who need to read Variety Speak won't get it.
deanclkclk: means that mircea_popescu recommended apocalyptic?
benkay: Duffer1: just like people who need to read "so you want to start a bitcoin business" can't get over their egos and get it.

mircea_popescu: which is why you want to do that early and then lurk here
Duffer1: you're not wrong benkay, call me a hopeless optimist though, some may learn before they lose it all instead of after
BingoBoingo: deanclkclk: You do trustful things first, eventually you get to do trustworthy things
benkay: losing it all is a part of the learning process
deanclkclk: well..I started the project from December but, I've been mostly on #bitcoin, #bitcoin-dev and #litcoin
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 benkay it was illustrated recently by herbi. the only restraint is that people's ability to be all imperial and handwave reality be overrun
benkay: whether 'all' is 9 bucks like in herbi's case, or everything everything in yours...
pankkake: what about learning by losing it half?
mircea_popescu: they don't actually have to lose anytihng per se, other than their own vanity
deanclkclk: I know I guy here called twitz from here..I can't remember his irc name
benkay: pankkake i gotcha buddy
pankkake: I learned to do backups by losing only 1/3. but I still miss it :(
benkay: one can always earn more bitcoins.
benkay: one can never fix a reputation for incompetence.
benkay: much less a reputation for outright scammery.
pankkake: (backups in the general sense, not losing bitcoins due to lack of backups)
Duffer1: benkayone can always earn more bitcoins. >>> i wish
benkay: Duffer1: only thing holding you back is you, cousine.
gribble: Time since last block: 13 minutes and 49 seconds
benkay: ThickAsThieves: what jobs?
benkay: well that second one was actually a noob trap
BingoBoingo: benkay: Actually I'm handling that second on nao.
ThickAsThieves: random thought, there;s no way in hell that wall st guy put 8 nails in himself
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Why not. people survive more nails than that.
BingoBoingo: Anyways. I thought he was Colorado Title company guy. Not Wallstreet.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> << one could, perhaps, but defo not by persevering in the manner that got them the original reputation in the first place.
ThickAsThieves: if youre gonna kill yourself and you are intelligent, wtf would you nailgub yourself, and when did go for it, how the hell do you make it to 7 or 8 in the body and head?
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Well, the nails themselves slow bleeding. And there was no evidence he was intelligent at all.
mircea_popescu: well it's a well known joke this, "suicide, 3 shots to the head"
Duffer1: depends on nail placement really
pankkake: probably lacked the street smarts
Duffer1: and basic knowledge of anatomy
mircea_popescu: <benkay> well that second one was actually a noob trap <<< all jobs are de facto noob traps
benkay: huh that's an interesting take
mircea_popescu: the thing that qualifies a good lay is exactly the thing that disqualifies a rotten one
benkay: oh enlighten my derpy ass
mircea_popescu: there's not this convenient cleavage of school from life irl.
Jere_Jones: Catching up on the last hour of conversation is depressing.
davout: pankkake: what about the insured deposits ?
davout: pankkake: which deposits ? :-)
davout: mircea_popescu: no i actually don't
mircea_popescu: "we promise you can get your money back unless germany needs it to bail out russian oligarchs in fucktardistan
davout: it seemed obvious to me when i first talked about it,
davout: which was a mistake, i double checked with the "fonds de garantie des dépôts" and they only cover accounts called "comptes de dépôt", and not "comptes de paiement"
davout: anyway, the main point is that the money is on accounts in the name of the holders, in a financial insitution, not on our corporate accounts, and therefore legally not ours
mircea_popescu: nevertheless do go back and add addendums wherever feasible
pankkake: the original question was "insurance from theft" though
davout: pankkake: oic the question was about btc deposits
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 28200 @ 0.00087607 = 24.7052 BTC [+] {5}
mircea_popescu: here on -assets we specialise in animated conversations with multiple participants all of which have no certain idea wtf the topic is, what's being said, what it means and so on.
mircea_popescu: the english language being employed is more an artefact of the observer than a reality of the conversation.
davout: i doubt any exchange found an insurance company to cover the btc deposits
benkay: nah if any'd obtained the necessary ins
Duffer1: davout who'd you approach?
davout: Duffer1: dunno, i didn't take care of that myself
deanclkclk: folks...attention. I bid for 1 BTC for $100 USD but, instead get 1.04 BTC
Duffer1: how long ago? lloyds is covering some bitcoin based noob vault, they may be receptive
Duffer1: multiple tangents and generally talking past eachother? ya
mircea_popescu: i like the folks attention bit. who do you take yourself for dood.
mircea_popescu: shut up and spend the next year reading, you're not part of the speaking crowd here.
deanclkclk: I just reread what you type and I think there's a misunderstanding
ThickAsThieves: you are trying to make some kind of reverse auction bidbook?
deanclkclk: ThickAsThieves: that's not an exact science
deanclkclk: all I'm saying...with the site..there's no over bid
pankkake: I blame today's headache on you guys
deanclkclk: well...seeing that no one here have said "wonderfule" since I've been here
pankkake: the "doing it" phase usually helps you know if the idea was good or not
benkay: set up the simulations
benkay: and i'll go through the trouble of auditing your code.
deanclkclk: but, all I'm asking....do people ever work with exchanges that give you more for what you asked for?
benkay: he's never going to deliver.
benkay: i'm shorting his delivery.
ThickAsThieves: a good exchange always gives you what you ask for, no?
deanclkclk: yes..that's the minimum ThickAsThieves
benkay: outta mah FACE mircea_popescu
Duffer1: i don't see how you could get more for what you asked for, someone has to get less in that scenario
benkay: i'm not taking this bet, mp.
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: I'm trying to put in a Bid for 12000 and instead getting bids for 12
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8800 @ 0.00087145 = 7.6688 BTC [-]
ThickAsThieves: if i understand your idea, all it does is market buy with the rest of any money you bid, if you happened to overbid
benkay: yeah if he delivers i gotta deploy some time on a code audit
deanclkclk: if I bid $100 BTC but, I got it with 99 Duffer1 ..either the user gets back $5 dollars or they trade it for some additional BTC/Satoshis
mircea_popescu: so if he doesn't deliver before you do you get a free atc.
benkay: nigga i got an endless list of shit to process
benkay: gotta keep the brain in tip top condition
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves apparently he's busy watching womenz in negligees wash dishes and programmers do mysql exchanges.
deanclkclk: whatever I'm explaining is making sense?
davout: Duffer1: do you remember the name of the "vault" that says its insured?
deanclkclk: so I'm saying rather than get back $5 dollars and create another trade; which time is money and during that creation you might miss a chance on a great trade
davout: ThickAsThieves Duffer1 thanks i'll have a look
deanclkclk: well it's an option. Get back fiat or get more crypto
benkay: ThickAsThieves: he's convinced me to hack an allchain watcher together
deanclkclk: hello? anyone can let me know if this idea makes any sense?
deanclkclk: benkay: u are not bullshitting me right?
Duffer1: i don't see why you would want to dean, a person can just set their price to buy until their 100 is spent
benkay: you make an exchange, i'll audit it for you.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11000 @ 0.0008713 = 9.5843 BTC [-]
benkay: all the audits going to say is probably something like "kinda full of holes, operationally bogus, liable to lose your coins"
benkay: deal? you stop bothering us about this until it's done, when it's done i audit your codebase.
ThickAsThieves: i like how beta means "dont look at me if your money disappears"
Duffer1: well what happens right now if you place a 100$ bid for btc on btc-e?
deanclkclk: then when launch..the site will provide 3 months of trading free
Duffer1: if your bid matches a sell, the exchange executes the trade for however much the seller sold
Duffer1: your position is still open if you have any money left and no sellers willing to meat your price
deanclkclk: hopefully ...after about 10 months. We could insure folks coins but not like 100%
mircea_popescu: the decision of how many months of free trade to have is a resolution of the greater issue of how to market a product, which is in turn decided and framed by greater issues.
mircea_popescu: to have fixed answers for such low level questions at this juncture merely indicates you do not have the intellectual resources to correctly model the problem you declare./
Apocalyptic: <deanclkclk> hopefully ...after about 10 months. We could insure folks coins but not like 100% // good luck with that
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 377 @ 0.05626923 = 21.2135 BTC [-] {12}
deanclkclk: I wasn't asking question mircea_popescu I was pitching an idea

deanclkclk: from my first sentence..you've been making me out to be a mentally retarded idiot
☟︎ Duffer1: don't take that personally hehe
deanclkclk: rather than complain..offer suggestions
deanclkclk: I don't know everything...that's why I asked for answers...suggestions
mircea_popescu: and you are neither at liberty to judge me nor are you at liberty to make recommendation.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, you aren't at liberty to ignore the recommendations i make. re-read the log, they're there.
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of you "not knowing everything", implying we are somehow equal.
mircea_popescu: it is a matter of you not knowing anything, not even sufficiently something to allow you to understand how little you know.
mircea_popescu: so now that we understand ourselves, get in the wot, stfu and read the log for a while, then we can talk again.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 2 @ 0.06950005 = 0.139 BTC [-]
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3000 @ 0.00087689 = 2.6307 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, pankkake you may wanna take out the OTQuMjMuMjE1LjE3NA== part.
benkay: deanclkclk: you agreed to bugger off 'till you delivered something i can audit. now do so.
davout: Duffer1: looks interesting, i see nothing obviously sketchy for the service
pankkake: I don't know if I can apply filters to this thing
davout: ThickAsThieves: vaultofsatoshi has like a 11-people team, that sounds big for an exchange that does 400 weekly volume
Duffer1: davout ya it's just insured cold storage, but maybe lloyds would be approachable about insuring an exchange
davout: the insured guys are elliptic.co btw
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 1 @ 0.125 BTC [-]
benkay: and maybe in retrospect it's not so much a shorting as entering into an option to spend some time if the guy leaves us alone, delivery of which he'll take when/if he delivers
deanclkclk: I'll try another irc. You guys are too playful to be taken seriously
benkay: deanclkclk does that mean our deal's off?
benkay: play is an important part of thinking
Duffer1: i doubt very much you'll receive competent advice elsewhere
mircea_popescu: benkay Yeah, I’m getting rid of all my furniture. All of it. And I’m going to build these different levels, with steps, and it’ll all be carpeted with a lot of pillows. You know, like ancient Egypt.
davout: mircea_popescu: exactly, which looks sketchy
davout: deanclkclk: you want advice to create your exchange?
benkay: deanclkclk: you might listen to davout he does what you're dreaming of doing.
deanclkclk: I don't want on how to create an exchange. I'm just pitching my idea to get a feel of what people think
davout: deanclkclk: so you want a howto about how to create an exchange?
benkay: yeah your howotos suck, mircea_popescu
benkay: it's like you write 'em yourself or something ;)
benkay: well you write for yourself, is it any surprise?
davout: deanclkclk: oh sorry, I misread, what's your idea?
benkay: jurov had to pay me to write a manual for your "exchange"
Duffer1: ha i told stringpuller there was money there like months ago
deanclkclk: davout: basically from a trade..people get more from what they ask for
ThickAsThieves: what i hate about mpex is, whenever i overbid, i have btc left unspent, fukn noobs
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i was in talks with some people to recharge your phone after bids if there's like stuff left over
mircea_popescu: however i think they od'd or something because i haven't heard from them in a while
deanclkclk: do you folks trade on sites or mobile apps?
pankkake: idea: when you overpay for shares, it is distributer to the seller; we would call this tipping
Apocalyptic: <deanclkclk> davout: basically from a trade..people get more from what they ask for // so what about it ?
Apocalyptic: BTC China already has these rebates, where the fee for the liquidity taker goes to the one who put up the bid/ask
davout: deanclkclk: that's your idea for an exchange?
deanclkclk: I bid a $100 for 1 BTC and I find a ask for $95.
davout: i spend all the 100$ and get more btc
deanclkclk: and use the $5 dollars to find an additional ask
davout: deanclkclk: this is not a very interesting idea, and certainly not an idea worth building an exchange around
deanclkclk: so basically you could have a case where for the original $100 for 1 BTC..I get 1.02 btc
