(trilema) mike_c: etf for panacea?
(trilema) mike_c: we do have some money left :)
(trilema) mike_c: for idiots.
(trilema) mike_c: that is much better than how i read it.
(trilema) mike_c: ok, i believe you are saying something different below: "Performance fee:20% high watermark monthly"
(trilema) mike_c: oh, so not 20% of your highest point of the month. 20% of profit at end of month.
(trilema) mike_c: what's the variance like? 20% high watermark.. is the high watermark usually close to end-of-month performance?
(trilema) mike_c: didn't want to share numbers since then?
(trilema) mike_c: it does look better than 96% of btc investments, so hopefully you get some bites.
(trilema) mike_c: fair enough. good luck with it though.
(trilema) mike_c: but i feel like evidence is a tad slim around your skills at forex.
(trilema) mike_c: i do trust, in that i don't worry about the safety of my btc
(trilema) mike_c: since i don't know your CV
(trilema) mike_c: what should I base my investment decision on?
(trilema) mike_c: and the evidence that I have as an investor that you are awesome at this is 3 months of profits..
(trilema) mike_c: ok. so, i give you 100 btc. you use that as collateral to trade EUR/USD. hopefully you make profit. you give me back 102 btc.
(trilema) mike_c: except that buy-in cash-out are btc
(trilema) mike_c: and, don't mean this rudely, this has nothing to do with btc because it's trading eur/usd ?
(trilema) mike_c: ok, so those return percentages are in btc
(trilema) mike_c: EUR/USD but it's btc denonimated?
(trilema) mike_c: so.. panacea is forex trading BTC/EUR?
(trilema) mike_c: sorry, key was stored on prototype cardano and is inaccessible
(trilema) mike_c: k, thanks.
(trilema) mike_c: jurov, this is still up, but I assume should not be relied on? http://mpex.coinbr.com/
(trilema) mike_c: let the bubble resume
(trilema) mike_c: heh. mpex is down, maybe that's why.
(trilema) mike_c: congrats!
(trilema) mike_c: good move.
(trilema) mike_c: but that wouldn't spook the bitcointalk crowd into pumping AM shares
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, you can pay poor people $5 to do anything.
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: that is actually a great idea. i bet we could make that happen on fiverr. it would be hilarious.
(trilema) mike_c: yes, then it would break 1
(trilema) mike_c: hm, but i thought am went from 0.5 -> 0.8 the other day because the chinese video said he's getting a bunch of new hardware.
(trilema) mike_c: hehe. something like that.
(trilema) mike_c: that happened to gox 6 months ago and they're still ok
(trilema) mike_c: raid.. 6?
(trilema) mike_c: mpex sysadmins are having a bad week.
(trilema) mike_c: hehe. metrosexual is as fashionable as gpg.
(trilema) mike_c: just keep it in your purse jurov
(trilema) mike_c: k, thanks for update
(trilema) mike_c: hard to tell ;)
(trilema) mike_c: btcjam is way easier than mpex. i can sign in with my facebook account.
(trilema) mike_c: mpex is flaking out, bitcoincharts. what's next, btcjam starts having problems?
(trilema) mike_c: bitcoincharts api is down too
(trilema) mike_c: they might do it too :)
(trilema) mike_c: ;;market sell 174000
(trilema) mike_c: its 174k now
(trilema) mike_c: who has mp's pager number?
(trilema) mike_c: er, not that its response is invalidly signed. it doesn't recognize me. (Unrecognized signature. Please email your public key first.) which seems to be same as you guys were seeing 4 hours ago
(trilema) mike_c: everything i get back from it seems to be invalidly signed
(trilema) mike_c: can anybody do anything on mpex yet? i see trades on assbot, but nobody here seems to be able to talk to it (including me)?
(trilema) mike_c: oh, i thought expiration was midnight Thursday before the last friday. not sure where i read that. thanks.
(trilema) mike_c: ok.. they roll over in random()*36 hours?
(trilema) mike_c: mpex options expired 16 hours ago, yes? do the 'T' and 'N' options roll over after the mpoe monthly statement is issued?
(trilema) mike_c: much cooler
(trilema) mike_c: nubbins`: agreed.
(trilema) mike_c: that is interesting.. could be mp.
(trilema) mike_c: i.e. your mind still remembers nicotine as a great way to relieve stress
(trilema) mike_c: after that it's psychological
(trilema) mike_c: physical addiction ends in.. 3 weeks i think
(trilema) mike_c: suck it mindreader
(trilema) mike_c: that website can read my mind. super annoying.
(trilema) mike_c: zoom is the scrollbar :)
(trilema) mike_c: you know, it is ok to have a <head> and <body>. we don't need to save 50 bytes over the wire anymore.
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: not sure if you saw. what do you think about posting option excercises to kako for assbot
(trilema) mike_c: i can't decide if that is awesome or horrible.
(trilema) mike_c: the market is heating up
(trilema) mike_c: i might as well just excercise
(trilema) mike_c: if i am holding an option, it does me no good to sell it to the bot at intrinsic value
(trilema) mike_c: nobody profits from it anyway..
(trilema) 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.
(trilema) mike_c: keeps the algorithm simple for what to do with them after buying.
(trilema) mike_c: well, not if you're a buyer and don't want to lose money :)
(trilema) mike_c: i believe so
(trilema) mike_c: buy price is almost exactly intrinsic value of the call
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc 1- (140/153.7)
(trilema) mike_c: ok, here's where i contribute instead of nag: jurov, i believe the mpex market bot does price its orders very close to intrinsic value.
(trilema) mike_c: like, the rss feed?
(trilema) mike_c: post it.. in the recent trades?
(trilema) mike_c: well, that would be the only way to infer open interest
(trilema) mike_c: google doesn't seem to think so
(trilema) mike_c: seems like useful information for the public at large.
(trilema) mike_c: while we're on the topic.. shouldn't assbot report on excercises?
(trilema) mike_c: no no, discrepencies are resolved in sub-second time!
(trilema) mike_c: and done :)
(trilema) mike_c: and an easy-to-use option market fits the bill.
(trilema) mike_c: or, rather, let's say that the demand is for gambling products for BTC.
(trilema) mike_c: the product can create demand.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't agree with you.. demand does not have to exist before the product.
(trilema) mike_c: b/c it's aimed at "consumers"
(trilema) mike_c: hey, you obviously agree. bitbet doesn't look like mpex for a reason.
(trilema) mike_c: havelock, bitfunder. but this is the part where you say they don't have any volume?
(trilema) mike_c: and that demand could be redirected to mpex (through coinbr)
(trilema) mike_c: i would say that the demand is already exhibited in volume at the other exchanges that are easier to use
(trilema) mike_c: i think that demand will follow user-friendly tools.
(trilema) mike_c: but not for MKOPT
(trilema) mike_c: er, to be clear, you ARE the user-friendly mpex.
(trilema) mike_c: shouldn't i be able to do that on the site?
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, but you are supposed to be the user-friendly mpex
(trilema) mike_c: excellent, agreed. except you can't mkopt :)
(trilema) mike_c: even if it is your job :)
(trilema) mike_c: got it. thanks again.
(trilema) mike_c: i.e.: no way to get out of the trade
(trilema) 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
(trilema) mike_c: say yes and i think i'll understand.
(trilema) mike_c: creating 10 contracts + excercise = create 10 contracts and immediately sell to market bot which buys for intrinsic value only
(trilema) mike_c: ok.. so you are saying that excercising is no different from creating and immediately selling for just intrinsic value.
(trilema) mike_c: and thanks for the assistance.
(trilema) mike_c: ok.. let me pastebin an example here and hopefully you can tell me why i'm not getting free money.
(trilema) mike_c: wait. these are american options, right? excercise any time?
(trilema) mike_c: right, that seems to be the problem. sorry if i'm being slow here. i'll provide better example:
(trilema) mike_c: well i would hope not, but i'm not seeing it
(trilema) mike_c: 5 assigned to you and 5 to me? free money?
(trilema) mike_c: then mike_c creates 10 contracts and immediately excercises.
(trilema) mike_c: for ITM calls.
(trilema) mike_c: so, jurov creates 10 contracts
(trilema) mike_c: that feels.. open to manipulation.
(trilema) mike_c: not how many you've created & sold.
(trilema) mike_c: jurov: ok. it says on the faq that options will be assigned proportionally based on how many contracts you have created.
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: you around? got a question about option assignment.
(trilema) mike_c: well, for a couple weeks it does
(trilema) mike_c: you'd think with all that power my tx would be confirmed by now.
(trilema) mike_c: ;;nethash
(trilema) mike_c: 1% all day
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc (1 - 0.010099) - ( 1 / 1.00010102)
(trilema) mike_c: yeah it's 1%. odds of winning = (1 - .010099). payout is paying as if odds were ( 1 / 1.00010102).
(trilema) mike_c: except college. which costs everything you have plus 10.
(trilema) mike_c: ? we are educated for free.
(trilema) mike_c: horse is DEAD.
(trilema) mike_c: er, 8,000. whatever.
(trilema) mike_c: no, $8b on military, $8b on debt service
(trilema) mike_c: "basically" the same
(trilema) mike_c: somalia gdp: $6 billion US gdp: $16,000 billion
(trilema) mike_c: ;;nethash
(trilema) mike_c: those generic application-specific chips are a great bargain!
(trilema) mike_c: love the delayed laugh :)
(trilema) mike_c: less then 3% of float is spoken for. but maybe.
(trilema) mike_c: i vote them.
(trilema) mike_c: why are people bidding more than the ipo price for s.nsa? someone is confused. them or me.
(trilema) mike_c: he's not saying yet
(trilema) mike_c: well, not 13.
(trilema) mike_c: 2013? 14? 15?
(trilema) mike_c: another question you won't answer yet (even though potential investors would love to know), target release date?
(trilema) mike_c: still.. a straight up better replacement for securID?
(trilema) mike_c: (kidding)
(trilema) mike_c: the cardano should backup the private key to the cloud.
(trilema) mike_c: what's the target cost for the cardano?
(trilema) mike_c: who are now trying to make one last buck off them.
(trilema) mike_c: it is affiliate websites that have stopped being profitable for their owners.
(trilema) mike_c: gullability
(trilema) mike_c: it all makes sense now. mirecea can run a btc equity exchange without getting arrested because he's a MP
(trilema) mike_c: starts at 0
(trilema) mike_c: fee high because bet is almost over
(trilema) mike_c: better designed than most btc sites
(trilema) mike_c: TAT posted that before. is he running it?
(trilema) mike_c: ok. i agree with you (and therefore will place a bet). let me find a better example or understand that I was wrong.
(trilema) mike_c: nasdaq.com is slow as shit.
(trilema) mike_c: lemme check
(trilema) mike_c: yeah. just seems like the weight drops off so quickly that its tough to get in. The weighting system seems to go against your philosophy of monitoring the bet and pushing the other side if you think the bet has moved the wrong way.
(trilema) mike_c: unless i misunderstand something..
(trilema) mike_c: the odds on both sides suck.
(trilema) mike_c: yeah.. my issue is that it feels like unless you get in early there is no way to bet.
(trilema) mike_c: ;;bc,24hprc
(trilema) mike_c: picostocks is the php of btc exchanges.
(trilema) mike_c: while pondering the calm, go buy my piddling few ATM options: http://mpex.co/?mpsic=O.USD.C125T
(trilema) mike_c: +1 for python
(trilema) mike_c: pankkake is saying that it does the same thing as other languages, only worse.
(trilema) mike_c: "You pull out the hammer, but to your dismay, it has the claw part on both sides. Still serviceable though, I mean, you can hit nails with the middle of the head holding it sideways."
(trilema) mike_c: it is so funny though
(trilema) mike_c: there are many things wrong with php
(trilema) mike_c: ;;bc,24hprc
(trilema) mike_c: imagine if he took more than a quick look!
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, but that's pretty far from efficient. idk. confusing.
(trilema) mike_c: someday i will understand btc assets, but not today. why hasn't the price of tat.virtualmine gone down much over the last 6 weeks while the dividend has dropped nearly by half? who knows. not me.
(trilema) mike_c: not of course, that they are going to make the stock price go up every quarter.
(trilema) mike_c: by happy I mean they should keep investors believing that 1) they are working in there best interest and 2) doing so effectively.
(trilema) mike_c: late to the conversation, but, company management (in the real world) *works* for the stockholders. that is why they should keep investors happy.
(trilema) mike_c: i.e. france
(trilema) mike_c: yes, but if you don't the electors kick you out.
(trilema) mike_c: well, the game already slipped. clearly it's vaporware.
(trilema) mike_c: don't leave us hanging, what was the warning?
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: that was quick. much better!
(trilema) mike_c: list of props with no links?
(trilema) mike_c: more understandable for something like asicminer that is so illiquid.
(trilema) mike_c: passthroughs annoy me. giving up 5% of my dividends for what? to not have to open a coinbr account?
(trilema) mike_c: i agree, but i'm not sure about the leap to it drastically increasing volume. although it certainly seems to have for mpoe
(trilema) mike_c: your hypothesis is that narrowing the bid/ask spread will drastically increase volume?
