(trilema) mike_c: a straight republishing of someone else's work. that's one way to improve their site.

(trilema) mike_c: ok, proxy would work. if the buyer accepts your counterparty risk.
(trilema) mike_c: except you can't sell them :)
(trilema) mike_c: it's like selling private keys though, doesn't work. you can't enforce that you won't use the cookie after selling.
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: NYPD doesn't put up with that crap either
(trilema) mike_c: i know right? like tearing down goal posts
(trilema) mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform no, actually, in the city where black people burn down the downtown if the wrong team wins whatever game << well, you know, maybe they had a big bet on the game :D
(trilema) mike_c: assbot announces divs?
(trilema) mike_c: jurov: my only hesitation is that i would have to maintain "how many shares are held on mpex" for each symbol so i could do my own calculations. for example, what's that number for f.mpif?
(trilema) mike_c: given profit was 199.55486127
(trilema) mike_c: why not a 7 at the end?
(trilema) mike_c: jurov: 18 digits. you know way too much about mpex.
(trilema) mike_c: ah, i get it
(trilema) mike_c: 30% goes to mistake, 70% should go to divs, yes?
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc (1.19395524 - 0.35818657) * 0.3
(trilema) mike_c: of course, that's 9 digits after the decimal, so they can't really be trusted.
(trilema) mike_c: hm. btcalpha accountants think that no div was paid last month, and 0.250730601 BTC should've been paid to shares on mpex.
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: did you miss paying out a small dividend on s.bbet last month?
(trilema) mike_c: mm, desktops might have been a better word choice. and designers do.
(trilema) mike_c: benkay: have you ever picked up an apple server? it weighs 200 lbs for no good reason.
(trilema) mike_c: oh yes, no argument there.
(trilema) mike_c: two years late on a one year project is bad management.

(trilema) mike_c: well, first off, the last 20% is always where the time is spent
(trilema) mike_c: davout: well, what i mean is the US doesn't have a word that they use like russia uses motherland

(trilema) mike_c: stalin? either that, or putin said it yesterday?
(trilema) mike_c: if your blog posts don't make people mad you end up with no comments.
(trilema) mike_c: meta-criticism
(trilema) mike_c: then you have a post and a lively comment section!
(trilema) mike_c: then respond to the comment
(trilema) mike_c: fluffypony: leave it as is, and tell TaT to comment on it if he doesn't like it
(trilema) mike_c: wha?? why would you pull an article that is generating debate?
(trilema) mike_c: and basically fully expect someday my balance on CB won't be there.
(trilema) mike_c: fluffypony: why? that is exactly how i use it. i purchase, move coins to storage, and use CB for random day-to-day purchase/bets.
(trilema) mike_c: you just did
(trilema) mike_c: it's cash in your pocket vs. your bank account. cash in your pocket is a convience and subject to mugging.
(trilema) mike_c: uh.. 1.5 years is pretty dang new :)
(trilema) mike_c: "Since Coinbase has had their merchant tools rolled out since December 5th, 2012 it’s safe to say that they’re not a new startup."
(trilema) mike_c: yes, i think i'm following, but who cares if a user <-> coinbase <-> coinbase merchant transaction doesn't scream bitcoin?
(trilema) mike_c: um, who cares?
(trilema) mike_c: kinda like if you treat bitbet as a last-second bitcoin faucet.
(trilema) mike_c: coinbase is only a scam if you treat it like a daytrading exchange.
(trilema) mike_c: Apocalyptic: i was like an hour before that in catching up. so close :)
(trilema) mike_c: perhaps a link first?
(trilema) mike_c: 04:50:57 mircea_popescu:your blog got 0 comments the past month. << just because your blog doesn't get comments doesn't mean it sucks.
(trilema) mike_c: well, there was no immaculate conception. how do you mean?
(trilema) mike_c: it's no berkshire vs bitcoin, but there are some basketball bets totalling a few bitcoin going now. not too shabby.
(trilema) mike_c: karpales?
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, it's right (like jurov said)
(trilema) mike_c: nothing to 'lint', it's just a handy verifier
(trilema) mike_c: oh, sorry, missed backtrack
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: yeah, not happy about that.
(trilema) mike_c: what do you call them?

(trilema) mike_c: quick, excercise your calls
(trilema) mike_c: life is too short for staying up to date on HIF.
(trilema) mike_c: sorta. they released their quarterly report to shareholders only and some guy republished it
(trilema) mike_c: davout: dunno what the bug was, but they were reporting a btc price 1000x too high and it hosed bitcoinaverage.com
(trilema) mike_c: t-bonds??
(trilema) mike_c: too busy buying lambos
(trilema) mike_c: thestringpuller: the action? not following you.
(trilema) mike_c: maybe scandanavians just really like btc. it's the new china.
(trilema) mike_c: skipping 128 ;)
(trilema) mike_c: scandinavia's first best greatest btc exchange
(trilema) mike_c: for the record, https://justcoin.com/ is responsible for the retarded BTC price on bitcoinaverage
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: stats page in json still somewhere in your todo list?
(trilema) mike_c: um, everyone, nice knowing you. i'm off to my private island.
(trilema) mike_c: if anybody else missed it
(trilema) mike_c: i don't see any reason that would turn around.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't keep up much on havelol, just found out they've been running in the red the last few months!
(trilema) mike_c: muy complicated
(trilema) mike_c: and rebar'd them together.
(trilema) mike_c: hell yeah. we used fallen trees.
(trilema) mike_c: lol, BingoBoingo, i too built an actual bridge in boy scouts. good times.
(trilema) mike_c: penetrate 6 inches of steel, must be quite a charge
(trilema) mike_c: ok. so the 'suicide' part is that you have to get within a pole's length of the tank :)
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: does the soldier survive? it's not a kamikaze thing is it?
(trilema) mike_c: is nanotube responsible for that?
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, no way 4 days 16 hours
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc 898 / 6 / 24
(trilema) mike_c: somebody has a bug.
(trilema) mike_c: yet same estimated change
(trilema) mike_c: gribble and oz differ by a whole day on diff change
(trilema) mike_c: ;;bc,stats
(trilema) mike_c: except the aliens that read the log
(trilema) mike_c: and they immediately shut the project down
(trilema) mike_c: when they just hired the team and nobody got any money
(trilema) mike_c: benkay: not retarded to do it, retarded to have these "blah blah company got acquired" nonsense
(trilema) mike_c: Jezzz: can you make ozbot automatically correct people's spelling?
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, it's a new thing. so retarded.
(trilema) mike_c: no startup ever goes bust in the us. always an acq-hire at the end..
(trilema) mike_c: grammar has two a's :D
(trilema) mike_c: ThickAsThieves: acqui-hire
(trilema) mike_c: you can't unsee it
(trilema) mike_c: you already grabbing URLs, should be easy to regex bitbet urls and do something different, no?
(trilema) mike_c: you'll have to add up all the bets yourself because kako said so :)
(trilema) mike_c: Jezzz: bitbet provides json with all the bet information. just add ?json to end of bet url.
(trilema) mike_c: we need more bots in here
(trilema) mike_c: that's a good idea
(trilema) mike_c: don't see much on bitbet to short diff for june
(trilema) mike_c: at least the idiff's are actually in play this quarter. nice to see.
(trilema) mike_c: +1 i can stop my son in his tracks with my warface.
(trilema) mike_c: confirmed fixed. cookie expires on June 5 now.
(trilema) mike_c: reason #1483 why javascript is retarded.
(trilema) mike_c: i think you're missing a (* 1000)
(trilema) mike_c: JS date time is in milliseconds
(trilema) mike_c: when I looked at the cookie it said it expired in an hour.
(trilema) mike_c: plus, the ref cookie only seems to be good for an hour.
(trilema) mike_c: like, is referral cookie good for all bets or just the one you sent them to?
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: we were looking for clarification on bitbet affiliate rules.
(trilema) mike_c: comments on that video are good too :) "Thanks now my crt is broken"
(trilema) mike_c: whoa. that video is cool. that glass is shaking.
(trilema) mike_c: my way sounds easier
(trilema) mike_c: smack the glass with the oscilliscope?
(trilema) mike_c: no, you can break glass with an oscilloscope?
(trilema) mike_c: it has minimum of 8.0 Mw. that would be impressive if manmade.
(trilema) mike_c: a noble goal, good luck with it :) certainly a task i don't envy.
(trilema) mike_c: that gap is unbridgeable. ask hanbot.
(trilema) mike_c: if you make any money (and my script doesn't steal it) you can WoT me :)
(trilema) mike_c: i kid, i kid.
(trilema) mike_c: pankkake: just 0.1%. i'm not greedy
(trilema) mike_c: v2, with linking to the right bet:
(trilema) mike_c: you're welcome!
(trilema) mike_c: feel free to steal my bitbet session now too :)
(trilema) mike_c: this is odd. the ref cookie seems to last for an hour..
(trilema) mike_c: ThickAsThieves: eventually there will be a yahoo answers entry about "why does bitbet say 'got milk'" and it will be ok :)
(trilema) mike_c: ah cool :) improved version is imminent.
(trilema) mike_c: that's what warren says
(trilema) mike_c: but lots of people have done very well in it :)
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, i've read those. i just find a tough stock as a potential investor.
(trilema) mike_c: or, 0.007 i guess
(trilema) mike_c: well, 3k BTC + 0.0005 mpex = billions
(trilema) mike_c: it'll be an interesting year
(trilema) mike_c: and it hasn't seemed to do so in previous bumps.
(trilema) mike_c: then it'll have to tank pretty hard given the btc appreciation that's going to happen
(trilema) mike_c: that is a good reason :) still, it would make quite a blog post.
(trilema) mike_c: jurov, any reason not to release those docs?
(trilema) mike_c: seriously
(trilema) mike_c: oh wow, cog is gone too. that's SF2, neobbq, and cog in that last couple weeks.
(trilema) mike_c: ;;rate mod6 1 doing good work with atcbot
(trilema) mike_c: for such an active trader, it feels like an important piece of information to give away. but the alternative is to basically say nothing each month except BTC + (atc converted to btc). so i don't know what you can do about that.
(trilema) mike_c: BingoBoingo: i looked over your atc reports, but i didn't have much trade history to try and correlate them with. the biggest "leak" seems to me that you are reporting each month whether you are long or short ATC.
(trilema) mike_c: ^ atc baller
(trilema) mike_c: %bal 19zWDQg5Mtpsp3BoYxkq6vr4BL1Kjsua7k
(trilema) mike_c: %tx 991270b4ca10a02a72305af02406415191748890a70bf1dd20b09b0c3782767c
(trilema) mike_c: i believe they have the capacity, but that's not all that counts during ddos. just curious what they were like under fire. let me know if you ever find out ;)
(trilema) mike_c: Naphex: they look pretty good. ever had the occassion to test out the ddos mitigation?
(trilema) mike_c: that sounds like a rosy assessment of DC's. where the hell do you host?
(trilema) mike_c: (if you ask them to)
(trilema) mike_c: davout: same thing for aws. their load balancer sits in front of your servers and handles SSL termination for you
(trilema) mike_c: i can understand not wanting to rewrite crystalspace's build files though.
(trilema) mike_c: chetty: why did you pick jam?
(trilema) mike_c: built by same guy as perforce i believe, which i am a fan of.
(trilema) mike_c: feel the power of btcalpha
(trilema) mike_c: just because i can't figure it out doesn't mean much
(trilema) mike_c: i thought my article was positive on s.mpoe. i don't think its my fault.
(trilema) mike_c: in any case, seemed up your alley :)
(trilema) mike_c: well, because you put together the altcoin code, no?
(trilema) mike_c: pankkake: have you seen the last s.mg report? i thought of you when reading about the package maintainer job (cuz of altcoin).
(trilema) mike_c: ;;seen nubbins`
(trilema) mike_c: not really a ponzi then, just straight stealing.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't even see how you can ponzi at 50% a month. that is insane.
(trilema) mike_c: and they are "strong. loyal innovative."
(trilema) mike_c: this is better than pirate.
(trilema) mike_c: making 50% a month? panacea oughta put their money with these guys.
(trilema) mike_c: chetty: um, sit back and make money? sounds pretty scammy.
(trilema) mike_c: (i'm secretly hoping i'm not the worst in the channel at languages)
(trilema) mike_c: is that a word? you mean grazie?
(trilema) mike_c: aand, it's gone. ah, interesting bitbet: what will be the next fund delisted from havelock? could be one every month!
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, i was thinking of lulzy havelock updates and what-not. i guess those are probably preserved in bitcointa.lk somewhere.
(trilema) mike_c: if anyone here is doing that history of failures, you should screen grab the neebeeq stuff quick
(trilema) mike_c: we will see shortly.
(trilema) mike_c: in 17 minutes?
(trilema) mike_c: antartica exchange commission. duh.
(trilema) mike_c: probably. antartica is coming down hard on all btc bizness
(trilema) mike_c: well, didn't you hear? mp is extradited to antartica to face AEC security fraud charges.
(trilema) mike_c: ooh, i see the once a month s.mpoe sale is in effect
(trilema) mike_c: or wait a few days and I'll have a script that you can include in the page that will link it to the bet it is displaying with your ref address.
(trilema) mike_c: link it with your ref to the homepage
(trilema) mike_c: you can use http://www.btcalpha.com/bb_ad.png as is if you want.
(trilema) mike_c: ping ThickAsThieves
(trilema) mike_c: that wasn't the right emoticon
(trilema) mike_c: i 3> assbot
(trilema) mike_c: can't stand gawker :)
(trilema) mike_c: moiety: +1 can't stand it.
(trilema) mike_c: i agree with naggum in a lot of ways, but i ended up in python instead of lisp. i was just writing a C module for python and it was a brutal reminder of much time and energy is spent making sure i didn't miss dereferencing something in some random error case that would cause a leak, etc.
(trilema) mike_c: can naggum say anything in less than 1000 words?
(trilema) mike_c: must be missing something..
(trilema) mike_c: hmm.. it's always scary when you build something semi-complicated and it just works the first time.
(trilema) mike_c: well, average in here is definitely > 22.
(trilema) mike_c: you get paid in bitcoin? nice.
(trilema) mike_c: but geese don't lay eggs standing up
(trilema) mike_c: no, that goose is definitely shitting bitcoin.
(trilema) mike_c: pankkake: i know. the thought process of whoever wrote those.. it's painful to think about.
(trilema) mike_c: no, non-gender specific insults are fine
