TestingUnoDosTre: Hey I need some help with a proposed bitbet that was rejected
TestingUnoDosTre: MMM / BTC above or equal to .2 on May 3 2014 Rejection reason: Consider submitting with substantial paid wager given peculiarity of proposition
artifexd: What is MMM?
TestingUnoDosTre: stock ticker MMM is 3M company
artifexd: And there is a place it is priced in BTC?
TestingUnoDosTre: no, its USD price cs BTC usd price
artifexd: So the bet outcome is determined by two (possibly compromised/influenced) feeds?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 3 @ 0.04649929 = 0.1395 BTC [+] {3}
TestingUnoDosTre: compromised?
artifexd: Thanks benkay. That was exactly along the lines I was thinking.
benkay: i know :)
TestingUnoDosTre: theres bets with btcs usd price on the website all thr time. can you expand?
benkay: well your bet comes after the data feeds are found to be useless.
TestingUnoDosTre: the bet ends two weeks early
jurov: too much fake data
benkay: bet opening dates, TestingUnoDosTre.
benkay: other bets dependent on btc price were *placed* before feeds were found to be useless. your bet was placed after feeds found to be useless. your bet is rejected probably because now the mods know the price signal is fucked. previous bets were not because nobody knew the price signal was fucked.
benkay: yeah?
TestingUnoDosTre: how is bitstamp fucked?
benkay: did you read that link?
benkay: you should probably ask the relevant parties as indicated in the trilema piece.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 50 @ 0.0054002 = 0.27 BTC [-] {2}
benkay: the easy answer is probably just to use bitcoin-central, but that'd just reek of cronyism.
benkay: beyond my pay grade
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 2 @ 0.08649999 = 0.173 BTC [+]
TestingUnoDosTre: that link is about MPoE options and counterparty risk, which thishas very little to do with. amiright?
TestingUnoDosTre: who is the authority to ask?
ThickAsThieves: whats the big question, doesnt it say to include a bet sum to get it accepted?
benkay: Even if one were to roll their own index : BTC-e is a rather dubious venture, still fondly remembered for their involvement in NovaCoin, the original altchain scamcoin and spotty reports of selective scamming. Bitstamp has two thumbs down from Matic for reasons I don’t fully grasp but then again I don’t really need to in that circumstance. I wouldn’t trust Kraken to hold as much as my spit, especially after their recent
benkay: bitdaytrade-esque failure and Jesse’s enthusiastic support of the well known and universally reviled Jared Kenna scammerx. There are some others out there, and they pop up and down like flies.xi
benkay: To make a long story short : there’s no way to obtain a price feed that could be relied on, currently.
benkay: all from the link
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: you gotta try harder, frere.
ThickAsThieves: bets dont need a reliable feed
ThickAsThieves: just a specific one
benkay: yeah there's that approach
TestingUnoDosTre: i used bitstamp, it was very specific
benkay: anyways, ThickAsThieves has it on the nose. mods say submit with substantial wager.
ThickAsThieves: basically bitbet is saying your bet is lame, but if you back it theyll list it
TestingUnoDosTre: i bet .5btc RIGHT AWAY
ThickAsThieves: aparently its not substantial enuf
TestingUnoDosTre: theres no reason i wont bet more, but I want to gage interest
ThickAsThieves: very little
ThickAsThieves: who cares about MMM?
ThickAsThieves: this is bitcoin
ThickAsThieves: you might get a TSLA bet thru
TestingUnoDosTre: if I just throw 2 btc out therr, im afraid no one takes interest until too late
ThickAsThieves: so is bitbet
benkay: the more you throw down the bigger the attraction on the other side, right?

Duffer1: o.o
ThickAsThieves: The mistake is in thinking this has anything to do with the money. It's said that most at home traders fail, but this is incorrect: they fail at making money, but they are successful at feeling like a trader. That is the goal; the money is secondary, which is why they fail at making it. The buy/hold/reinvest the dividends strategy of Buffet is totally opposite to what's desired,
ThickAsThieves: because the strategy does not involve market timing or status updates, it is on autopilot, and there's no "i" in autopilot. Well, there's one, but it doesn't stand out.
ThickAsThieves: The trading activity itself-- the frantic activity-- keeps the rest of reality away. You're not your job-- you're something else. You're not your family, you're more than that. Things have the potential of possibly happening someday, and no work will have been necessary to accomplish it. Just you wait.
