benkay: daww BingoBoingo
benkay: that's a pretty weak counter troll
benkay: straight for the pooper? what is this, amateur hour?
BingoBoingo: benkay: Maybe. I've been working actual troll pretty hard other venues. I've collected quite a few Buttcoins of my own though.
BingoBoingo: Here's two: a halfsie http://i.imgur.com/yQ52mP7.jpg and a full one http://i.imgur.com/o08heoV.jpg
benkay: a trapman i see
benkay: meh
benkay: not a terrifically interesting deployment of capital
BingoBoingo: benkay: Well, two different people. How was I to know the second was a trap though?
benkay: how can one know anything on the internet these days
benkay: once upon a time there were channels
benkay: nowadays every channel is stuffed with shills
benkay: it's far cheaper to promulgate uncertainty and craziness than specific angles
benkay: with the end result of impenetrable chaos noise on all lines
BingoBoingo: benkay: The solution is to create more noise.
benkay: nonsense
benkay: there's only marginal profit to be made in just increasing entropy
BingoBoingo: benkay: There could also be increased security though.
benkay: "could"
benkay: it could also be possible to emulate quantum circuits on VN architecture chips
benkay: also
benkay: "security"
BingoBoingo: benkay: Maybe? Nature generally seems to push for increases in entropy though. The poor get poorer somehow. With enough buttcoins eventually you get enough asses that they can't all be traps.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.605 BTC [-]
benkay: well, yes, Nature does certainly prefer some arrangements to others. those highly ordered arrangements are very useful to people, though.
BingoBoingo: benkay: In a lot of ways though people and nature are adversaries.
benkay: and while one can extract a certain amount of value from turning a pile of well-ordered things into a pile of less-well ordered things, the art of business construction is largely that of building machines that work against the entropic gradient.
benkay: i am not making this point clearly at all
benkay: more chardonnay is called for

benkay: i think that what i'm trying to say is that i enjoy and profit from building machines that take in energy and do work upon the environment, disadvantaging some market players and advantaging others.

benkay: you can never get more energy out of oil than is in there to begin with
benkay: but carefuly rearrangement of atoms can lead to some pretty spectacular machines
benkay: with enough practice and demonstrated competence in rearranging, one doesn't even need to gamble on whether a given whore is a trap or not.
benkay: if in desire of traps, acquire and enjoy.
benkay: if not, don't.

benkay: at this point i'm inclined to take it on faith but otoh what's the basis?

mike_c: jurov: ok. it says on the faq that options will be assigned proportionally based on how many contracts you have created.
mike_c: not how many you've created & sold.
mike_c: that feels.. open to manipulation.
jurov: *exercises* will be assigned
MTBmanTT: very :\
mike_c: right
mike_c: so, jurov creates 10 contracts
mike_c: for ITM calls.
mike_c: then mike_c creates 10 contracts and immediately excercises.
mike_c: 5 assigned to you and 5 to me? free money?
jurov: no
mike_c: well i would hope not, but i'm not seeing it
blastbob: vault of satoshi.. verified and secured by godaddy..
jurov: after you mkopt or split, you'll see in STAT an entry that you provided a collateral
blastbob: not touching that site
jurov: the record stays the same regardless what you do with the options
jurov: in the end of month, all exercises are put together and subtracted from all provided collateral
jurov: and rest returned.. and *this* is what get assigned to you
mike_c: right, that seems to be the problem. sorry if i'm being slow here. i'll provide better example:
jurov: so I pay for 10 exercises , you pay for 10 exercises and we both will get remaining part of our collaterals
jurov: no matter what trades happened between

mike_c: and thanks for the assistance.
jurov: well, it's kinda my business :)
jurov: <mike_c> then mike_c creates 10 contracts and immediately excercises <<< you forget here that you have to put *more* than this into escrow

jurov: *in the end of thwe month
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.625 BTC [-]
mike_c: ok.. so you are saying that excercising is no different from creating and immediately selling for just intrinsic value.
jurov: as opposed to what?
mike_c: creating 10 contracts + excercise = create 10 contracts and immediately sell to market bot which buys for intrinsic value only
mike_c: say yes and i think i'll understand.
jurov: yes it is the same, if anyone bought for this value. market bot usually buys for considerably less.
mike_c: ok. bit different than what i'm used to. so when you make the option, you are on the hook for the rest of the month, and there is no way to get out of that obligation
mike_c: i.e.: no way to get out of the trade
jurov: true
mike_c: got it. thanks again.
mike_c: even if it is your job :)
jurov: :)
mike_c: excellent, agreed. except you can't mkopt :)
jurov: i can, you just have to ask here or by email
jurov: after creation you can trade/exercise them online without problem
mike_c: yeah, but you are supposed to be the user-friendly mpex
mike_c: shouldn't i be able to do that on the site?
mike_c: er, to be clear, you ARE the user-friendly mpex.
mike_c: but not for MKOPT
jurov: yes, you should be able. but mpex interface scares me and there wasn't much demand, so it's not ready yet
mike_c: hehe
mike_c: i think that demand will follow user-friendly tools.
kakobrekla: once you solve a problem, a demand to find a solution to that problem can only go down
mike_c: i would say that the demand is already exhibited in volume at the other exchanges that are easier to use
mike_c: and that demand could be redirected to mpex (through coinbr)
kakobrekla: which exchanges is that exactly?
mike_c: havelock, bitfunder. but this is the part where you say they don't have any volume?
mod6: whats scary about the interface?
kakobrekla: i think its the lack of css
mike_c: hey, you obviously agree. bitbet doesn't look like mpex for a reason.
mike_c: b/c it's aimed at "consumers"
jurov: mod6 i mean the interface from programmer's view
kakobrekla: sarcasm doesnt translate well over irc
kakobrekla: mike_c not that far apart either :)
Apocalyptic: <kakobrekla> sarcasm doesnt translate well over irc // oh it des
Apocalyptic: *does
mike_c: i don't agree with you.. demand does not have to exist before the product.
mike_c: the product can create demand.
mike_c: or, rather, let's say that the demand is for gambling products for BTC.
mike_c: and an easy-to-use option market fits the bill.
mod6: ah. i felt like it was pretty easy to interface with programatically
jurov: mod6 let me walk through how easy it is
jurov: 1. mpex happily accepts your order
mike_c: and done :)
jurov: 2. you call statjson, but no change
jurov: 3. next statjson, only balances change
jurov: 4. either your order appears or trades or both
jurov: and some trades have tracking info of your order and some not
mike_c: no no, discrepencies are resolved in sub-second time!
jurov: so they have to me matched by time/price
jurov: all this happens in seconds (and when mpex had a problem, even minutes) span
mod6: oh, hmm.
jurov: so it's very easy for multiple orders to be mixed
mod6: i've never had that issue, but i'm not managing like 6900 peoples orders either.
jurov: you see
mod6: actually, i think we've discussed this before. i've just forgotten.
kakobrekla: do you do lot of manual fixing?
jurov: not since tracking was introduced
kakobrekla: cool

mike_c: while we're on the topic.. shouldn't assbot report on excercises?
mike_c: seems like useful information for the public at large.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.62899998 BTC [+]
kakobrekla: im almost positivley sureish it does unless sub 0.1 btc vol or something
jurov: orly? since when?
mike_c: google doesn't seem to think so
mod6: i don't think it does report exercises, although it could be hard to tell... does the CBOE or others report that information? or does it just effect open interest?
kakobrekla: since when what
mike_c: well, that would be the only way to infer open interest
jurov: since when assbot reports exercises
jurov: afaik it did for BTC-TC only
jurov: not mpex
kakobrekla: ah right
kakobrekla: you talking btc options
mod6: i've personally never seen it report any exercises.
jurov: mod6 it reported them as trades with strange prices
kakobrekla: well talk to mp to post it
mike_c: post it.. in the recent trades?
mike_c: like, the rss feed?
kakobrekla: post it to me and ill chan it to assbot
mod6: i suppose it could be that assbot doesn't report sub .1 btc though. so that could be part of it.
kakobrekla: mod6 #bitcoin-assets-trades does not have such filter
mod6: ahh. im in there, but don't watch it nearly as close as I used to.

mike_c: buy price is almost exactly intrinsic value of the call
Apocalyptic: mike_c, so no premium ?
mike_c: i believe so
Apocalyptic: weird way to price options
Apocalyptic: unless you're close to expiration
mike_c: well, not if you're a buyer and don't want to lose money :)
jurov: hmmm... this means mpoe thinks it will be better off when they autoexercise
jurov: interesting
mike_c: keeps the algorithm simple for what to do with them after buying.
jurov: afaik bot does nothing special with bought options... it just calculates its exposure, prices and if it looks okay, puts orders online
mike_c: are you sure about that? because it seems like it would be easy for it to just have orders up at intrinsic value and just immediately excercise after buying them.
jurov: since the bot is part of exchange i don't see who would profit from that
mike_c: nobody profits from it anyway..
mike_c: if i am holding an option, it does me no good to sell it to the bot at intrinsic value
mike_c: i might as well just excercise
jurov: perhaps it's just there so that you can check what the value is
jurov: goodnight all
