dexX7: oh, it's gone from bloomberg.com
KRS|gotyawallet: paywall like what we have in the U.S.?
dexX7: there was a note on the top
Duffer1: paywall meaning i couldn't access the article you linked :P
Namworld: No, I mean there's no notice of any ban anywhere
KRS|gotyawallet: bloomberg had a "Breaking News" note
Namworld: That looks half-assed...
Duffer1: hmm
KRS|gotyawallet: China better not fuck this up for us
KRS|gotyawallet: front page of bloomberg had a note that said "Breaking News: China bans financial institutions from dealing in bitcoin"
KRS|gotyawallet: or something similar
dexX7: yea i saw it
dexX7: what exactly means "pdoc bans financial institutions from bitcoin transactions"?
chetty: PBOC:Public free to participate but they bear risks
KRS|gotyawallet: sounds like they dont want their financial institutions failing because of it
KRS|gotyawallet: they are sensitive about their currency

Duffer1: "At this stage, the financial institutions and payment institutions are not allowed to Bitcoin price for the product or service, may not be sold or traded as a central counterparty bitcoin"
Duffer1: hard to decipher that sentence
dexX7: the whole thing is hard to decipher for me :D

Namworld: However...
Namworld: "However, Bitcoin transaction as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in the premise own risk."
Namworld: Chinese people are free to store value into Bitcoin it seems to say, at their own risk.
Namworld: So nothing changed...
Namworld: Needs better translation than google...

mircea_popescu: well, the govt kinda owns the banks
mircea_popescu: so it's really more like, if you make a loss trading bitcoin we'll shoot you. if you make a gain we'll maybe promote you, we'll see about that, don't bet on it.

ThickAsThieves: i dont understand what has even changed with this announcment
mircea_popescu: well, it specifies chinese banks are not to use bitcoin as a currency, as the chief point.
ThickAsThieves: were they?
mircea_popescu: which you know, kinda matches rthe fincen earlier report. bitcoin is, all the pretense of interested parties to the contrary, not a currency,
mircea_popescu: as ruled on trilema, oct 6 2012.
mircea_popescu: not afaik, no.
ThickAsThieves: what did you rule it, a commodity?
mircea_popescu: wow gold
mircea_popescu: anyway, some people were contemplating vehicles such as funds
ThickAsThieves: so this means the US will def approve the winklething
mircea_popescu: the chinese do have a serious problem, in the following sense : it's a highly competitive society, much more so than the us was in the 50s. people are very performance driven.
mircea_popescu: the economic situation is dire, the finances are in a mess. everyone is earnestly looking for ways to conserve capital values
mircea_popescu: had this pronouncement not been made, we could have ended up with a rush from chinese provincial authorities buying bitcoins and erecting miner farms
mircea_popescu: so if anything it's good, in that it balances out the govt battle, because the us (all its pretense to the contrary) could not have kept up.
mircea_popescu: in this sense it subtly strengthens bitcoin, because it's current value and recent explosion are both due to the little secret made public also on trilema, ie govts involved.
mircea_popescu: as long as there remains balance bitcoin will do ok.
ThickAsThieves: tldr CHEAP COINZ
mircea_popescu: more like, "the chinese central authorities are not exactly asleep, and picked the right course".
mircea_popescu: anyway, one point that is perhaps not directly obvious to foreigners is that china contains about 10mn people who have the authority to spend various amounts of public funds.
mircea_popescu: it's a strange mix between a command economy and a market economy, and managing it looks more like herding 10mn cats.
thestringpuller: that's a really good observation
thestringpuller: know what i'm sayin'?
ThickAsThieves: easy to herd cats if you pavlov them with treats
ThickAsThieves: I can whistle and all my animals come to me

ThickAsThieves: as offered to Wall Street investors.
ThickAsThieves: We will also give you the same 24-hour head start our employees will receive, in order to ensure you have the earliest opportunity to reserve shares at the offering price. While many companies depend on their customers' support every day, those customers don't always get the chance to own a piece of the action at the same price as Wall Street investors. We're offering this exclusive
ThickAsThieves: employee benefit to our AMC Stubs members to express our sincere gratitude for your loyalty.
ThickAsThieves: If this interests you, please click here to learn more.
ThickAsThieves: Please note that to execute this idea, we have opted to use the LOYAL3 Social IPO platform, an innovative new way to bring IPOs to market, where you can buy from $100 to $2,500 of our stock, and sell stock, with no fees. "
ThickAsThieves: sounds like something from the forums
Duffer1: i can't help but feel it's a pr stunt to drum up value to major investors
ThickAsThieves: its also a way to check the temperature
Duffer1: look even the proles get a piece, give us attention
ThickAsThieves: they ask you to contact them if interested
ThickAsThieves: this may give them some info on how people value it
ThickAsThieves: of course the people they are asking arent even the target audience for their stock...
Duffer1: i guess i shouldn't knock it until the amount of shares to be made available in this way is known, i'd be shocked if it was more than 2% of the company
ThickAsThieves: i'd be shocked if their Stubs holders and employees could afford 2%
Duffer1: mm good point

mircea_popescu: this WORKS omg. davout you gotta try it.
ThickAsThieves: did you hear about the toejam cheese?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves don't go trippin on the camembert yo
ThickAsThieves: while i dont eat cheese anymore, i always preferred the very sharp, hard stuff
ThickAsThieves: like mimolette
mircea_popescu: this was young, but it had possibly the finest velvet micelium i've yet seen.
mircea_popescu: why not eat cheese anyway ? it's what made us white folk smart enough to rule all the other races.
ThickAsThieves: well, i dont think you really want me to answer that
ThickAsThieves: like asking why am i vegan
ThickAsThieves: no one cares
mircea_popescu: just as long as it's not a youtube link
ThickAsThieves: the core of it for me is that i cherish life
ThickAsThieves: simplest way to put it
mircea_popescu: but life w/o camembert is scarcely life. if i offered you the deal of 200 year lifespans as long as you lived in a hamster ball weould you live in a hamster ball ?
ThickAsThieves: that's a much bigger question than cheese
ThickAsThieves: i have no idea if my brain could handle that lifestyle
ThickAsThieves: can people come into my ball?
mircea_popescu: they got germs yo
ThickAsThieves: while i require minimal social interaction, i know humans are social creatures
ThickAsThieves: so odds are i'd go nuts before 200 yrs
mircea_popescu: so you can wave at them through your transparent enclosure

ThickAsThieves: how do i IRC, voice recog?

mircea_popescu: no you got a kbd in your bubble
ThickAsThieves: is your point that cows live longer cuz we like their cheese?
ThickAsThieves: i think i missed something
mircea_popescu: my point is that generally speaking restrictive diets are unhealthy. i fail to see any diference between "i shall only eat mcchicken nuggets" and "i shall only eat asparagus".
mircea_popescu: not implying it's what you do, obviously.
ThickAsThieves: i never ate much meat to begin with
ThickAsThieves: cheese tho, yeah
ThickAsThieves: but i have no lack of access to fat
mircea_popescu: now, not feeling like some cheese is one thing, not feeling like cheese for two decades running is another, but not eating cheese because baby jesus disaproves ?
mircea_popescu: fuck baby jesus.
ThickAsThieves: its not religious
mircea_popescu: well my friend, how can you show that ?
ThickAsThieves: its more like how you dont wanna put a warning on bitbet
mircea_popescu: there's many religions.
ThickAsThieves: maybe over time the world is more like the one i idealize
mircea_popescu: you idealise a world without cheeze ?!
ThickAsThieves: no actually
ThickAsThieves: i'm okay with cheese in general

ThickAsThieves: that one isnt bad either
ThickAsThieves: but paying that much for a print is silly
nubbins`: that's an original, not a print
ThickAsThieves: oh it said also available in other size
ThickAsThieves: so i assumed
nubbins`: ah, yeah, i think the other size is a print
ThickAsThieves: i know many artists try to sell prints for ridic prices
nubbins`: oh. nope.
nubbins`: tat, i have much to say on the subject of prints
ThickAsThieves: do you do giclee?
nubbins`: no, and in fact, i don't consider giclees "prints" in the traditional sense of the word
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.33800001 BTC [-]

nubbins`: producing a print takes skill and effort, and each one is usually a unique piece
nubbins`: producing a giclee involves making sure your ink cartridges are topped up, and clicking a mouse
ThickAsThieves: i always assumed giclees did color matching
nubbins`: oh, sure, sometimes. but that's still just dicking around on the computer
nubbins`: a $250 epson can produce beautiful CMYK giclee prints
nubbins`: but they're worth the cost of the paper and inks, plus maybe $20
nubbins`: to compare a giclee to a linocut or a serigraph is truly taking the piss
nubbins`: nothing worse than seeing people selling small "prints" for $50 each
nubbins`: in an edition of 250
ThickAsThieves: to me, i'd either want the original, or a good-enough print to look pretty on the wall
nubbins`: and then finding out they're fuckin giclees
ThickAsThieves: in-between seems a waste
nubbins`: take a linocut, for example
nubbins`: it doesn't exist as a piece of art until it's printed
nubbins`: and each print is unique, as the linoleum squishes around and wears down
ozbot: One Third of Kenyans Now Have a Bitcoin Wallet | Motherboard
nubbins`: a giclee is just a copy of an original

nubbins`: compared to linocut, monotype, serigraph, etc, where the prints ARE originals
nubbins`: people have a lot of trouble with that point
ThickAsThieves: well the concept is that people want to know the artist stood there and made the thing
ThickAsThieves: not a amachine
nubbins`: or at the very least, had a hand in its production

nubbins`: i've sepped by hand before
ThickAsThieves: then they got computers
nubbins`: generally just use gimp with a wacom tablet these days
nubbins`: our usual process is pencil -> ink -> gimp -> inkscape -> illustrator -> acetate -> silkscreens -> paper
thestringpuller: huhuh he said gimp
nubbins`: and really, we only use illustrator for printing films
nubbins`: would be nice if we didn't need it
nubbins`: but inkscape doesn't support CMYK print output (srsly)
ThickerThanThiev: i'm a coreldraw fan
ThickerThanThiev: great for that kinda work
nubbins`: never used it
ThickerThanThiev: it's canadian!
nubbins`: i mean, inkscape itself is great for vector work
nubbins`: it just barfs at the output step
nubbins`: so we shelled out $800 for illustrator
ThickAsThieves: it takes adusting for a long-time Illustrator user
nubbins`: and another $500 for 3rd party epson drivers
ThickAsThieves: but the keystrokes and tools and like everything for vector editing in corel is just better imo

nubbins`: the thing about "graphic designers" that fucking pisses me off

nubbins`: would love to get into letterpress
nubbins`: but that's an expensive setup

benkay: i'd like to see a shor-resistant cryptocurrency.
benkay: kinda the only altcoin that makes practical sense.
asciilifeform: benkay: there are several hypothetical altcoins that would make practical sense.
benkay: just so that when cold wallets start emptying themselves those who keep their eyes on these things have another class of cryptocoin to move into.
asciilifeform: say, my crackpot 'turingcoin' (arbitrary calculation for workfunction.)
davout: benkay: i guess i'll need to understand how to model volatility before writing one
mircea_popescu: davout the main difference between options and futures is that a correctly implemented future allows physical delivery,
mircea_popescu: which keeps the market honest.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [COG] 3 @ 0.051 = 0.153 BTC [-]
davout: can you elaborate on the keeping the market honest part ?
mircea_popescu: absent that, futures are awkwardly skinned options.
davout: and on the awkwardly skinned options part ? :-)
mircea_popescu: davout yeah. if you buy the right to receive livestock in the future, as long as you can't actually take the livestock
mircea_popescu: you're stuck realising whatever price whoever sold you the contract decides
mircea_popescu: ifthey say livestock is 10 dollars that's that.
mircea_popescu: if however you CAN take the livestock, then they are well incentivised to not declare livestock worth 10 dollars, cause you'll just take it.
davout: when you close your position you mean?
davout: ya i see
asciilifeform: self-emptying coldwallets, should they appear, would almost certainly be explained by compromised electronics (airgap that isn't) rather than QM sorcery.
mircea_popescu: at all points.
davout: finance is terrifyingly interesting
mircea_popescu: an option resolves this problem by trading on the spot. futures trade on their own "implied" spot, and so you can easily be stuck
davout: learning about it is quite enjoyable
davout: you lost me there
mircea_popescu: (for instance it's convincingly arguing atm that the large banks are keeping rthe gold price very low throuigh this exact trickery)
benkay: whereas if you take posession of the livestock, you can sell them for the market price.
mircea_popescu: davout the price at which options settle is not related to the price at which options trade, in the sense these are independent values.
mircea_popescu: the price at which futures settle is QUITE the price at which they trade.
davout: but the spot is still the spot right? i mean, it reflects the actual price of things? or am i missing something obvious here?
benkay: asciilifeform: the first set of course
mircea_popescu: thje spot is the spot, but the actual price shall never be known.
davout: haha
benkay: asciilifeform: i'm entertaining ideas about practical altcoin design
asciilifeform: benkay: programmable workfunction (part of the protocol, in my concept) would give you some teeth against asic, etc.
mircea_popescu: why do you want " teeth against asic" ?
ThickAsThieves: hey guys, where can I short the bitcoin?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're sitting on a warehouse full of fpga.

benkay: Apocalyptic: the market maker not quoting prices is not anywhere near similar to the exchange going down.
Apocalyptic: benkay, I know that
Apocalyptic: I just pointed out that in this specific case MPEX and MPOE are somehow closely related, so it may be relevant to point it out if done correctly
mircea_popescu: moreover, the bot's under no obligation to quote
mircea_popescu: well yeah, that.

jamespeerless: seems like bit bet's method of calculating winnings is kind of flawed? it lends itself to horrible odds.. why would someone risk 1BTC to receive like .001 btc.. shouldn't they try to match bets of the same fixed odds and just return leftover amounts?
mike_c: he wants tradesports
pankkake: perhaps you're looking at a bet that is soon to be ending?
Duffer1: it's not a booky site, just straight up bets

BingoBoingo: jamespeerless: It also helps when you put the money down earlier in the bet, especially when it is a bet where either side could happen
jamespeerless: yeah gives you better odds and bigger winnings once the other money shows up
BingoBoingo: jamespeerless: Definitely, but you have to watch bitbet for these bets as they occur so money that opposes you can also cone in on favorable weight

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if all you want is a web server on a 'i personally set every damn bit' sort of machine, something like this: http://www.kyllikki.org/hardware/wwwpic2/ is a better project.
thestringpuller: how did you come up with that number
thestringpuller: sorry the 0.1 lot is throwing me off
asciilifeform: necromantically resurrecting ancient iron is not a panacea. the systems of the past had their own security flaws (irix, i'm looking at you)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Thanks. I'm still in the reading, research, and playing with languages stage.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pick a reasonably capable microcontroller and learn that.
mircea_popescu: im going into the playing with tits stage.
mircea_popescu: later all.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I used to be fond of Sun Hardware, but a lot of flaws seem to come out of SPARC systems.
asciilifeform: it isn't the SPARC (or Alpha, or whoever) that is to blame, it's unix
asciilifeform: and cancerous complexity in general.
mike_c: it's a bug
BingoBoingo: Seems so really ascii
ozbot: O.USD.P110T last @0.00000000
mike_c: price is half there what it is on the homepage
BingoBoingo: mike_c: The problem is that over time bugs become deatures

BingoBoingo: mike_c: Maybe the bot knows something you don't?
asciilifeform: there is something to be said for even the most humble microcontroller. the PIC16F84 (mentioned in the link, also my 1st micro as a kid) has separate address spaces for code and data.
asciilifeform: overflow that.
mike_c: er. homepage says 0.01, put page says 0.05. that's a bug :)
mike_c: derp. i was looking at sell on the put page.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll get to reading.

thestringpuller: dunno where popescu got that number
thestringpuller: I think the bot is misquoting
thestringpuller: either that or where it's getting it's average isn't available to us
thestringpuller: nanotube: you should really fix the ;;bc,24hprc when you get the chance
thestringpuller: ;;bc,24hprc
gribble: Error: Failed to retrieve data. Try again later.
asciilifeform: and yes, that's all of them.
mike_c: why misquoting? It's willing to buy the put at .0104, and that is basically intrinsic value.
BingoBoingo: My favorite part of IRC is the logs basically compile a reading list.
mike_c: seems right..
asciilifeform: there is really very little more fun you could have as a programmer, than on a machine that you can completely understand.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well as I view things I do more regularly (betting valuations in SAGE mostly) I generally thing of my self as a scripter more than a person who programs. I think I'm going to have fun with the PIC
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: learning a micro will teach you what everyone in the '80s knew: that low-level programming doesn't have to be a misery.
asciilifeform: avoid the ones that are typically used with a traditional OS (most of the modern offering - ARM, etc.)
asciilifeform: those are less pleasant to program directly.
BingoBoingo: Well asciilifeform Looks like I have a project nao, thanks
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Any particular FPGA toolchains worth leaning or do they get replaced too soon.
asciilifeform: don't learn a toolchain, learn verilog (or vhdl)
asciilifeform: i prefer verilog

asciilifeform: never buy xilinx and altera boards new, they're pennies to the dollar on ebay and the like.
nubbins`: i had an inca cola t-shirt
asciilifeform: avoid boards specifically designed for cryptocoin mining, they are i/o-poor.
nubbins`: think i gave it away

asciilifeform: more like 15 days
asciilifeform: buy a simple micro board, make a light blink.
asciilifeform: it will be fun.

nubbins`: this gun is full of bullets, watch me hold it to my head and pull the trigger!
benkay: heh. videos.
nubbins`: seriously though, try to imagine something more cowardly than waiting until you retire to reveal that you knew your job was a crock of shit
