Namworld: Do you know the consequences of having bids at 10000 and asks at 500 bugged on the orderbook? All shorts/margins are considered in the profits massively. And you can just margin to the max based on fake profits. Apparently.
Namworld: And run your account into the red when the actual last price makes shorts/calls execute.
Namworld: Someone put a screenshot in markets channel
Namworld: Or actually they don't get executed based on last price... not sure.
Namworld: Either way
Namworld: If whoever put those orders in there removes them... might cause a mass execute of all margin orders.
Namworld: Because it seems the current situation gives everyone on finex more or less infinite margin.

herbijudlestoids: or why the exch admins havent matched manually?
herbijudlestoids: how can there be any margin liquidations if the orderbook is broken :P
Namworld: Because something must be botched in the code and it doesn't work, obviously.
herbijudlestoids: not like they can clear any orders in the market on customers with margin calls
Namworld: Luk hiere, thangs ir bork'd op.
Namworld: Margin liquidation can happen on finex. People can withdraw LTC/BTC
Namworld: All numbers are borked up.
herbijudlestoids: how are the liquidations happening

Namworld: We don't.
herbijudlestoids: do not get involved
herbijudlestoids: best risk/reward ratio
Namworld: I tested with a small amount. No orders/margins go through. Withdrawals occurs.
Namworld: I would guess wallet would have gone empty OR Bitstamp would have been crashed/pumped infinitely if people managed to exploit it.
herbijudlestoids: it doesnt make sense to me unless the exchange is flawed by design
herbijudlestoids: youre saying the wide orders placed in the book jammed it up
herbijudlestoids: margin liquidations happen into the orderbook
BingoBoingo: Namworld: Bitocolypse was 11 months ago
herbijudlestoids: if liquidations are happening without going into the market then the exchange is taking on liabilities which might not be available when the market returns at the correct volumes

benkay: you're not going to run a fab shop on wallets.
benkay: wallets might make a nice revenue stream for a fab shop, however.
herbijudlestoids: but a steel engraving machine only costs 700AUD?
benkay: subtle distinction that these programmerrers will never get.
benkay: well you gotta operate it, keep lights on, run a business you know.
benkay: business as waterwheel; water must flow. business must come through the operation. if business is a whole bunch of metalworking work, then wallets can be a small fraction of the biz and still work. if biz throughput is just wallet engravings, well, that sustains a much smaller operation.

ThickAsThieves: MaxCoin, the new crypto currency founded by Max Keiser will launch on February 5 and it has a good chance of crossing $20 million in market cap its first month of mining.
ThickAsThieves: With over 88 altcoins listed on Coin Market Cap, it’s getting tougher to find the winners, but MaxCoin really stands out and here is why.
ThickAsThieves: MaxKeiserTV has 39K subscribers. His “personal” twitter handle has close to 91K followers and the Maxcoin “official” twitter handle has 4.2K followers. Pretty impressive for a coin that hasn’t launched yet!
ThickAsThieves: fukn autolinks

benkay: no.

pankkake: lol, the coinget coin I took the source from even has the same port number
pankkake: coingen
nubbins`: maybe it really does, yep
benkay: why would you change the port number?
mike_c: yeah, where's the hate for bernankoin? as long as he doesn't pump/dump, what's the crime?
pankkake: because it's anothe coin
benkay: also the n-coin game will go forever
pankkake: mike_c: there's no hate for bernankoin
pankkake: it's *impossible* to premine anyway!
ThickAsThieves: nubbins ive decided your argument is not sound
ThickAsThieves: you had me worried
nubbins`: you've decided that the guy selling apples w/ razors to creepy old men is not at fault, because he's not the one handing them out to kids?
mike_c: i guess nobody will lose money on bernankoin cuz you can always just print more to keep people from losing money
nubbins`: "lel pre-razored apples, what a riot!"
Duffer1: lol
nubbins`: and we all have a chuckle and a kid slices his neck open
pankkake: well anyone printing it for more than a few hours is a fool
ThickAsThieves: in a world where there can be any number of alts, all on same codebase, no one alt is better than the other
nubbins`: but hey, fuck him, he shoulda checked!
ThickAsThieves: that includes bitcoin really
nubbins`: alts have two purposes: to experiment with ideas and to have a lel/run a scam
ThickAsThieves: says who
asciilifeform: eventually, mining breakthrough, and people will regret having undermined the whole concept of blockchain by having a swarm of little chains
mike_c: that's three purposes
nubbins`: says me
nubbins`: mike_c: the lel/scam is the same thing
asciilifeform: 'fail to hang together, and you will hang separately'
ThickAsThieves: mining breakthrough?
asciilifeform: hypothetically.
ThickAsThieves: but really, what makes bitcoin better than an altcoin other than its adoption level?
ThickAsThieves: it's all the same shit
nubbins`: one's real and the other is for fleecing rubes, that's what
asciilifeform: entirely ignoring the 'features' (many vs. few coins, frequents vs. rare blocks, etc) and premining,
asciilifeform: the difference is: who has it.
nubbins`: if you're fine with rubes being fleeced, then there's no difference, no
asciilifeform: every cryptocoin can be seen as an attempt to 'replay the history of money'
asciilifeform: with (optionally) different winners.
asciilifeform: much depends on who these winners are.
mike_c: there is a difference between selling real estate in florida that is secretly swampland, and openly selling swamps.
ThickAsThieves: and it's impossible to have two coins coexist and be healthy?
asciilifeform: hard to sell swamp to people who understand what a swamp is.
mike_c: right, which is why you haven't bought any ATC
nubbins`: it's impossible for a rubecoin to be healthy, yes
ThickAsThieves: is it impossible an altcoin will become the winner over bitcoin?
asciilifeform: it isn't impossible. we live in a world with ms-winblows, for example.
nubbins`: let's be clear, your experiment isn't intended to become a winner over bitcoin
asciilifeform: there are many such 'winners'.
nubbins`: it's intended to have a chuckle
benkay: even if there is a mining breakthrough, the compute deployed against alts couldn't save bitcoin...
nubbins`: but the funny thing about intentions...
ThickAsThieves: says you
nubbins`: says me, yes
nubbins`: says you, as well
ThickAsThieves: no actually
ThickAsThieves: says the miners
ThickAsThieves: thats all really
TomServo: ThickAsThieves: You saying you don't own any and won't mine any doesn't preclude that?
ThickAsThieves: preclude what
TomServo: It winning over btc
ThickAsThieves: what i say doesnt mean much
nubbins`: that's becoming clear ;D
ThickAsThieves: seriously
ThickAsThieves: i know i fuck around
nubbins`: i do too
nubbins`: the suckers being suckered don't
ThickAsThieves: but you guys arent giving real arguments here
ThickAsThieves: you act like i'm inventing altcoins
asciilifeform: whether a particular alt is 'trying to win over btc' can be determined by looking at what it is being traded for.
Duffer1: it's a subjective moral argument
asciilifeform: if it is being parcelled out in exchange for btc...
asciilifeform: then it is clear which coin the author regards as genuine and having a future.
Duffer1: based entirely on what you believe is moral or amoral
nubbins`: duffer, it boils down to this, yes
nubbins`: promoting a lelcoin as being serious is amoral
nubbins`: in my view
ThickAsThieves: what if the other just wants to do create the thing to see what happens
nubbins`: others disagree
asciilifeform: would you happily part with gold, for instance, if you believe that 'gold standard' will make a comeback?
Mats_cd03: so what was the size of the mpex whale fee
nubbins`: what if i just want to stuff a cigarette with match heads to see what happens?
mike_c: nubbins`: do you think it was immoral to flip houses during the housing bubble?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 1 @ 0.11900001 BTC [-]
ThickAsThieves: so far its mostly been an expression for me, some luls sure, but kinda performance art
ThickAsThieves: i havent even pondered what my investment strategy might be for it
ThickAsThieves: i dont care
ThickAsThieves: maybe i buy some
ThickAsThieves: maybe i dont
nubbins`: mike_c, there was a housing bubble? ;p
nubbins`: i think it's immoral to sell a cardboard box painted up like a house to a new family
ThickAsThieves: thats not what this is
nubbins`: bernankoin, you read the spec and have a lel
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 1 @ 0.119 BTC [-]
nubbins`: dogecoin, you see people actually losing things of value
nubbins`: intentions don't matter, what people do with the thing you've made does matter
mike_c: bah. and bitcoin is to blame for assasinationmarket
benkay: is running a gambling house a moral operation, nubbins`?
nubbins`: benkay, no
nubbins`: mike_c: assassinations are purchased with or without bitcoin
nubbins`: rubes losing money on ATC doesn't happen without ATC
mike_c: of course it does.
mike_c: that money is lost simply by rubes having it.
ThickAsThieves: you cant die from frostbite while bathing in lava either
asciilifeform: 'if i hadn't picked his pocket, some other fellow would've.'
ThickAsThieves: except i'm not picking pockets
nubbins`: nice rationalization, isn't it
nubbins`: no, you're just selling tongs
nubbins`: yyyep
ThickAsThieves: i'm selling streets
nubbins`: streets serve a useful purpose
ThickAsThieves: maybe people get robbed on them
ThickAsThieves: so does currency
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 18450 @ 0.00085735 = 15.8181 BTC [-] {2}
ThickAsThieves: maybe people build businesses on them
Duffer1: this argument is why i never made Hodorcoin, in the end, someone was going to lose money on it
nubbins`: if you can justify it to yourself, there's not much i can do to convince you otherwise
nubbins`: just wanted to offer a perspective
mike_c: i lost money on mpex once. mp is a scammor.
benkay: everything is a scam
ThickAsThieves: i can say i dont want to hurt anyone
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 35005 @ 0.00085841 = 30.0486 BTC [+] {2}
ThickAsThieves: but i cant say that i wont sell knives
nubbins`: sure, and you can offer perpetual mining turds that anyone with a brain would know is a bad purchase
asciilifeform: take classic btc. it was a net gain in wealth, rather than simply a machine from moving money from one pocket to another, because it made new things possible. what new things does the altcoin-of-the-day make possible?
nubbins`: but you can't say that you're not intentionally fleecing rubes
asciilifeform: 'my ferrari' is one answer. but not an answer that will satisfy skeptics.
ThickAsThieves: well if we go buy the Altcoin's mission it's purpose is to get everyone to stop mining every other altcoin
ThickAsThieves: would you count marginal success in that as a good thing?
kakobrekla: allowing for txes when 1mb limit is being hit for one but thats where it ends
nubbins`: would you count getting people off heroin and into crack as a good thing?
jborkl: not to the dealers
ThickAsThieves: i dont think that's a proper comparison
asciilifeform: this is more like getting all of the addicts to buy from one large dealer instead of quitting
nubbins`: sure it is, they're trading one terrible choice for another
mike_c: if you accept the axiom that any coin besides bitcoin has no value.
ThickAsThieves: the problem is you are making assumptions that are false
Mats_cd03: Some people just lack enough empathy
nubbins`: do tell!
asciilifeform: just asking the question of where the added value is.
asciilifeform: it's a legitimate question.
ThickAsThieves: you assume all altcoins are a loss/waste
ThickAsThieves: i do not
nubbins`: i don't assume that
nubbins`: altcoins are a great way to test out new concepts
asciilifeform: if there's added value ('i've an nsa-resistant work-function, here, look') we're all ears.
nubbins`: but a big machine that spits out slightly tweaked alts isn't
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 500 @ 0.003078 = 1.539 BTC [+]
ThickAsThieves: again i think this is a false assumption as well, alts needing new concepts
nubbins`: nobody's saying you NEED to test new concepts
TomServo: ThickAsThieves: is it a "preformance piece" or "maybe a viable altcoin, we'll see"?
asciilifeform: then your real proposition is 'i ought to be Satoshi and will use the powers for Good'
nubbins`: just that there's the potential for learning, growth, new thought processes, etc
ThickAsThieves: you are saying the NEED is required for value to exist
ThickAsThieves: it;s not a fact
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 3 @ 0.11833333 = 0.355 BTC [-] {2}
ThickAsThieves: there are no powers i get or use
asciilifeform: 'a) repaint your black car. it should be blue. b) why should i ? a) blue is just as good as black b) wtf a) here, i'll sell you some paint b) what's the value to me a) it doesn't need added value, blue is better '
denlove: I wish I had someone send bitcoin to please. 16ZdMuyrVuuupSjVZyPmBWwjHsbcweKGUk
nubbins`: denlove, eat a bag of dicks
ThickAsThieves: blue is different
ThickAsThieves: doesnt need to be better
kakobrekla: I wish blowjob and icecream
nubbins`: you're trying to rationalize your lelcoin right now, in this conversation
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: good luck with the chump harvesting.
ThickAsThieves: seriously, you cant definitively win one argument and now i'm a shill
nubbins`: what's with "winning" "arguments"?
TomServo: TomServo | ThickAsThieves: is it a "preformance piece" or "maybe a viable altcoin, we'll see"?
ThickAsThieves: i dont know
ThickAsThieves: it just is
asciilifeform: the trouble with chump harvesting, morals aside, is that there is always a new, slicker chump-harvesting artist coming to town.
asciilifeform: whose 'no added value needed' proposition is 'just as good' as yours
asciilifeform: but new/exciting.
mike_c: that's not trouble if he's not trying to harvest chumps
nubbins`: so value, many excite
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 150 @ 0.003078 = 0.4617 BTC [+]
ThickAsThieves: let them compete, idc
asciilifeform: live by the chumps, die by the chumps. who are fickle.
ThickAsThieves: its nothing to do with chumping people
nubbins`: let them eat cake!
ThickAsThieves: there will be wealth in more coins than bitcoin, for as long as this paradigm can even exist

pankkake: PROCESSMESSAGE: INVALID MESSAGESTART
pankkake: well, I'm stuck :(
ThickAsThieves: your arguments live in some imaginary ending where only bitcoin is left
asciilifeform: the other thing, your alt may be 'honest', but plenty are not. say, quite soon governments will begin herding people (through guile or force) into national altcoins.
asciilifeform: with central control.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 1 @ 0.1289 BTC [+]
asciilifeform: the proliferation of chumpcoins sets the stage for this
asciilifeform: by destroying the Schelling point.
asciilifeform: 'divide & conquer'
Duffer1: interesting proposition
ThickAsThieves: you cant stop it if thats the path
ThickAsThieves: and it certainly wont be because i made Altcoin
pankkake: it's pchMessageStart, but I'm not sure how to reverse-engineer it
asciilifeform: 'no drop of water believes that it is to blame for the flood' etc.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 21450 @ 0.00086492 = 18.5525 BTC [+]

ThickAsThieves: you cant will it away
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 28800 @ 0.00086998 = 25.0554 BTC [+] {2}
Duffer1: lets put aside the moralizing and focus on the likely outcome of the experiment
mike_c: imagine a grid with 100 tiny squares and 1 enormous square. Add as many tiny squares as you want, the Schelling point remains.
Rick_: mircea is here?
asciilifeform: Duffer1: we already know the outcome. that's what makes it a distinctly disappointing experiment.
Duffer1: paging mircea_popescu , mircea_popescu to the desk please
ThickAsThieves: oh you do?
ThickAsThieves: intersting
Duffer1: i believe that is the likely outcome as well ascii
asciilifeform: somewhere in russia, a drunk is unzipping, preparing to piss in an apartment lobby. you prod him, he answers 'drunks will always piss in lobbies. you can't just will it away.'
Duffer1: getting from here to there would probably be very interesting though
pankkake: does anyone here know basic C? how do I print, say, 0x0b? I want it to be 0x0b on the screen, or similar
asciilifeform: 'besides it already stinks'
ThickAsThieves: no, you are trying to say pissing shouldnt happen at all
asciilifeform: pankkake: printf("%x", foo)
ThickAsThieves: or that there is only one place to piss
pankkake: thanks, this is also what I found :)
pankkake: I need to find something interesting to write in C
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: merely that the world would stink less if people could agree to piss in toilets, or the woods, but not apartment lobby.
nubbins`: what he's saying is piss in the fucking toilet
nubbins`: not in people's faces
ThickAsThieves: by that argument why do we allow more than one fiat?
ThickAsThieves: why hasnt that been cleaned up?
ThickAsThieves: didnt require bitcoin to do so
asciilifeform: for the same reason that a town has more than one burglar
ThickAsThieves: you really see it that way?
asciilifeform: very basic game theory.
mike_c: pankkake: take something slow in one of your python programs and write a C module for it
ThickAsThieves: and what of this grand plan to make a better coingen.io?
ThickAsThieves: mircea is scammer too?
nubbins`: "a better"
nubbins`: atc = "a better" alt?
jurov: pankkake: rewrite pympex (but dunno if there's portable gpg C library)
nubbins`: PMTs = "a better" way to invest?
pankkake: I doubt the performance issues of pympex are in the Python code ;)
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
ThickAsThieves: so enabling the more efficient creation of Altcoins is moral, but making one is not
jurov: i had in mind portability issues
nubbins`: nobody's saying that
pankkake: there are many gpg python libs, which all suck in a different way
ThickAsThieves: so it's just a fleecing of rubes plan of mp's?
nubbins`: nobody's saying that either
jurov: pankkake: yep, even some forks with same name
nubbins`: making a new compiler != creating exploits
asciilifeform: ignoring morality entirely. if you'd like to live in a future where crypto-coins are a useful thing, vs. a fogotten fad, think twice about cranking out spamcoins.
pankkake: in the end, for what I wanted to do, I ended up calling gpg directly
nubbins`: signal-to-noise-ratiocoin
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 900 @ 0.00307922 = 2.7713 BTC [+] {2}
benkay: asciilifeform: would you elaborate on how cranking out altcoins will do *anything* to bitcoin?
mike_c: pankkake: curious what you were trying to do that was not working with the python gpg lib?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 750 @ 0.0030798 = 2.3099 BTC [+]
asciilifeform: benkay: one of the big strengths of classic btc is that it is a schelling point.
asciilifeform: now every idiot wants 'his own' blockchain. and soon, every government, with master keys baked in, naturally
pankkake: it's wasn't really about working, but I didn't want to add a dependency for nothing
mike_c: ah
pankkake: in the end most of the feature is calling gpgv
asciilifeform: in the latter, fiat infusions will make these boobycoins appear to be (temporarily) valuable
asciilifeform: and chumps will flock to them.
pankkake: which is also portable :)
asciilifeform: getting used to central control, pre-mining by national mints, and all of the traditional joys of fiat.
asciilifeform: 'embrace and extinguish.'
mike_c: i think you are vastly overestimating public knowledge of even the existence of altcoins
ThickAsThieves: I think you have limited the possible futures too much
Duffer1: Max Keiser ‏@maxkeiser 17m
Duffer1: #maxcoin mining and buying panic is building... all system look good to go. @maxcoinproject
Duffer1: >.<
asciilifeform: naturally, people will shit out alts. nothing i can say here would put the slightest dent in it. just as they will continue to throw cigarette butts from cars.
nubbins`: replace max with alt
asciilifeform: every cig thrower is king of his own universe for a few seconds
asciilifeform: just like the alt author.
mike_c: i like that analogy. so TaT threw a cig butt on the ground. who cares?
ThickAsThieves: the burning forest!
kakobrekla: green peace
pankkake: fucking fuck, now it connects, but every block is an orphan to it…
nubbins`: mike_c: yeah, who cares! we can do this forever!
mike_c: yes, we can. the world has not yet crumbled from tossed cig butts.
nubbins`: fuck everything, it's the road's fault for being there
nubbins`: "not yet"
nubbins`: you've got that part right, at least
nubbins`: "it hasn't happened yet!"
nubbins`: ergo, it never will!
ThickAsThieves: again a bad analogy
nubbins`: when can we expect mike_ccoin?
mike_c: never, i own one ATC. hence my position :)
ozbot: LiveLeak.com - WELCOME TO SHIT BEACH
asciilifeform: life in garbage world, sans cleanup crews.
benkay: but "good money drives out bad", asciilifeform. every local government can print their own fiat, demand taxes in their own shitcoin, and all of the wealth will stay in bitcoin.
nubbins`: "so what if we're helping turn cryptocurrency into a digital liberia"
nubbins`: "fuck the signal, here's some more noise"
asciilifeform: the question we're about to learn the answer to is close to: 'does the average person actually appreciate toilets and garbage trucks? or would be be just as happy using his local beach?'
mike_c: this is like imagining that the btctalk retardation will hurt bitcoin.
benkay: there is only noise in the universe. moments of signal are rare and unusual and vanish rapidly. thermodynamics at work.
nubbins`: benkay, that's about two steps from "what IS reality?"
mike_c: but he threw his butt in the toilet. it was announced on btctalk.
kakobrekla: everything is locel on the net
kakobrekla: local
benkay: not hardly. it's more along the lines of "seeing clearly in the fog is difficult", nubbins`. not "everything is foggy so fuck it".
nubbins`: mike_c, ah, the toilet? that's okay, then
nubbins`: once you flush things down the toilet, they're gone
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 545 @ 0.0031181 = 1.6994 BTC [+] {3}
ThickAsThieves: Maybe, I make Altcoin, it does pretty good, then something goes bad and people lose a bunch of money. Then I admit you guys were right. The guilt eats my soul til I realize I must now design the best coin ever. I do, and it kills bitcoin, and the world basks in a new dawn of finance. I load up IRC "sup fuckers, good thing I made Altcoin!"
benkay: just because the signal is loud and clear today is not a reason why it should remain that way.
nubbins`: "well, the tanker was leaking oil something fierce, so we towed it outside the environment"
nubbins`: "into another environment?"
nubbins`: "no, OUT of the environment"
mike_c: ok, i give up. let's debate abortion and gun control instead.
kakobrekla: kill fetuses with guns!
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: ...
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: i, for one, had no notion of convincing you that bamboozling people is wrong. only that you are ultimately burning your own furniture for heat.
mike_c: they aren't fetuses they are human beings. murderer.
kakobrekla: no, guns kill people, not people. not a murderer
pankkake: to make a "successful" altcoin nowadays you need more than releasing it
asciilifeform: right now, alt enthusiasts are shitting on a relatively clean beach.
Duffer1: when i argue against something, i take the time later to try to argue for it, i can't think of any arguments for altcoin atm (but that could very likely be user error) hehe
ThickAsThieves: asciilifeform, you are likely right, but it is already shaping up to be an interesting excercise
asciilifeform: they happily take their btc earnings from selling the alts and enjoy the valuable, relatively-stable coin.

kakobrekla: someone has to be on the other side of the sell asciilifeform
jborkl: so what did I miss about GOX? just read a article that bitcoin withdraws are not working now? (not that I use them anymore)
nubbins`: you asked me if mp was running a scam by making a better coingen. i ask you if there's a mirceacoin

ThickAsThieves: and to comment on TAT.VM
asciilifeform: not sure even karl friedrich gauss could make this any more clear.
ThickAsThieves: First, I didn't really realize what would happen, and I really did not intend to harm. However, I do regret it.
nubbins`: ^ picture yourself saying this about ATC 6 months from now
benkay: it's fine
nubbins`: please
benkay: you've done nothing
ThickAsThieves: And that regret did have an affect on my latter movs.
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: if this is true, it isn't too late to publicly repent and call the thing off.
asciilifeform: it would be a very educational act.
benkay: how are you going to do that?
ThickAsThieves: i will not
asciilifeform: well, we tried.
ThickAsThieves: if it dies it will be due to my attention span more likely
jborkl: What are you doing anywy Tat, I missed that part
Duffer1: Altcoin jborkl
nubbins`: jborkl, helping scammers fleece rubes

nubbins`: maybe you could whip up a regretcoin, premine a bunch, and send them to the rubes who got fleeced
benkay: how was vm a failure?
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: maybe i missed something... but where's the source code?
nubbins`: benkay: it wasn't a failure for TAT
ThickAsThieves: you missed something ;)
benkay: that's part and parcel of the story, asciilifeform. he didn't pay for the source.
nubbins`: mike_c was the one who mentioned failute
nubbins`: *failure
asciilifeform: who in his right mind would run this
ThickAsThieves: i regret that some people really did not understand what they were buying, despite utter transparency
asciilifeform: 7MB is room for all of the world's trojans, etc
nubbins`: do you regret that you really did not understand what you were selling?
ThickAsThieves: which wouldnt be so bad
benkay: nubbins`: it's a perpetual mining bond. pay btc now for a thing that becomes rapidly more useless.
ThickAsThieves: if it werent for the dramatic mining diff changes that came like 1 week after release
nubbins`: benkay: yes, that's correct
ThickAsThieves: i knew what i was selling

benkay: yes well this is the world in which we live, asciilifeform. people can't grep source and depend on web apps to make altcoins from them.
ThickAsThieves: i sold mining futures
nubbins`: i'm not saying you're a criminal, i'm saying you're hurting other people as well as yourself
ThickAsThieves: oh i did not hurt myself
asciilifeform: i changed my mind. we should all love Altcoin. anyone who runs a 7MB turd of unknown provenance deserves the lessons contained therein.
ThickAsThieves: i gained some very valuable experience
nubbins`: oh, you hurt yourself, even if you don't realize it yet
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: i hope you stuffed some serious 0day strange in there.
ThickAsThieves: i didnt even make it
ThickAsThieves: bluematt did
nubbins`: "i didn't put the razor in the apple, i just gave it to the kid"

ThickAsThieves: consider also that tatvm enabled me to do every release after it
ThickAsThieves: xbond, neo
nubbins`: consider that pirate's scam enabled him to buy a bunch of blow
ThickAsThieves: so xbond was blow?
nubbins`: consider that tatvm has tainted everything you've done since
ThickAsThieves: and your integrity is flawless?
ThickAsThieves: so basically i hath been judged by nubbins long ago?
nubbins`: go dig up some dirt on me, i'll wait here

TomServo: Well fascinating conversation, either way.
nubbins`: indeed
mike_c: roosevelt had something to say about this
nubbins`: mike_c: did he say "if your friends have to issue public warnings not to invest in things you create, you're probably a legit businessman with a future"?
TomServo: Something I think asciilifeform touched on, judging the merits of all cryptocurrencies... isn't hashrate pretty much the end-all-be-all?
mike_c: i don't think that was it
asciilifeform: TomServo: hash rate isn't all of it. lack of seigniorage is another.
nubbins`: mike_c: i'm terrible with quotes
mike_c: i have had friends start buisnesses that i would not invest in. that didn't make them scum.
TomServo: asciilifeform: Ah yes, with that being equal though?
mike_c: why do i keep misspelling business?
asciilifeform: there's a difference between 'use my thing. because it's better' and 'use my thing. it's better, really. and oh btw, if you buy in it will pay for my 1kg/day coke habit.'
TomServo: I thought it was pretty interesting to see the LTC DOGE hashrate intersect, and then re-intersect and what those implications might be.
mike_c: yeah, tat is rolling in blow from atc.
asciilifeform: seigniorage is an actual problem. i personally know perfectly reasonable, intelligent people who won't go near btc because of Satoshi's coins.
kakobrekla: TomServo the implication is, people can get fooled more than once
nubbins`: good a time for a break as any

ThickAsThieves: well i'm vegan at least
truffles: oh no
benkay: we dragged the frontend kicking and screaming into 2014, dragged an ancient django application from 1.2 to 1.4, delivered myriad performance improvements totalling in excess of 10x across the whole stack, and implemented distributed work queues to decrease the risk of large data processing jobs
ThickAsThieves: it looks nice
mike_c: why 1.4 instead of 1.6?
ThickAsThieves: i wouldnt even feel scammed if i sent them money
ThickAsThieves: hmm it's not even a cart
benkay: the next development iteration is going to focus on putting a 'buy' button next to each plant, redesigning the remaining pages that look like they're from 2006, taking people's money when they do click buy and turning into a plant on their doorstep, using the 56+ nurseries the site owner already has relationships with for distributed development
KRS-One: fuck plants, they are boring.
benkay: distributed fulfillment
mike_c: boring is good. no scooping poop.
truffles: plants take work man
Duffer1: infinite scroll would be nice
benkay: 1.4 was necessary for some particular features, i forget what precisely. chose to not go all the way to 1.6 to mitigate risk.
benkay: oh yeah, did i mention the stack automation and rearchitecture?
Duffer1: it's a great looking sight though, i love the homepage
benkay: there was enough risk in this project that 1.6 made me uncomfortable and i stopped the upgrade at the release that bought us the features we needed.
truffles: they should have a subcategory "exotic plants"
benkay: thanks! the owner did the wires and we implemented it.
benkay: anyways, we have availability for other projects.

herbijudlestoids: check the bid/ask spread to see which has the narrowest and most liquid spread
sypher_: seems like naming them is out of the etiquette here, sorry for the question, didn't know
sypher_: will do
nubbins`: i kid
herbijudlestoids: its not out of etiquette, i dunno for sure so im not gonna name a name
Duffer1: the point was there aren't any to name hehe
nubbins`: implication is that there aren't good exchanges, just varying degrees of shitty
herbijudlestoids: like i said, you can verify quantitatively by analysis of the bdi/ask spread
sypher_: ah, got you guys, thanks for the hand holding
herbijudlestoids: on mtgox right now the spread is $5, bitfinex $0 bitstamp $2, btc $1 and icbit $4
herbijudlestoids: so i would just discard mtgox and icbit for analysis, concentrate on the liquidity of the spread for bitfinex and bitstamp
herbijudlestoids: err s/btc/btce
sypher_: why excluding btce?
sypher_: i mean, why only bitfinex and bistamp, not btce?
herbijudlestoids: i did include btce sorry, there was a typo
herbijudlestoids: use yer brain
sypher_: ;) i meant on the one that you would concentrate ;)
herbijudlestoids: use your brain, interpret what im saying. dont let a typo trip you up
sypher_: aight :)
herbijudlestoids: i feel like the space left by http://casascius.com/ and coldcoins is an interesting space
herbijudlestoids: any thoughts on what it might take to do it right?
Duffer1: don't live in the US?
sypher_: lol
Duffer1: comply with your local money transmitter laws and you're probably ok
herbijudlestoids: so, sell on darkmarkets instead? lol
punkman1: why do you think physical coins are interesting?
herbijudlestoids: not so much physical coins as metal (i.e. fireproof) cold storage
herbijudlestoids: i think its interesting because its a necessary dimension for all who might want to save bitcoins securely for a long duration
punkman1: I don't see the advantage
herbijudlestoids: where is mircea_popescu when you need him
herbijudlestoids: punkman1: advantage over...a USB key?
sypher_: herbijudlestoids, wouldn't it just be simpler to print it yourself instead of a metal trinket with an embedded key somewhere?
punkman1: sure
herbijudlestoids: sypher_: if you print it, ink fades, paper burns, etc
herbijudlestoids: punkman1: well lets say i put 1,000 BTC into a USB key and encrypt it securely etc and then my house burns down
punkman1: why would you not have a backup of that?
Duffer1: casc coins don't solve that herb hehe
sypher_: herbijudlestoids, chroma life 100years, printed on photographic paper; USB key with a backup in a bank safety box
herbijudlestoids: Duffer1: les casc and more cold in that use case
Duffer1: mill out a qr code on aluminum would do nicely
sypher_: but i do like the idea of metal coins; if only, as 'ego' items ...
punkman1: herbijudlestoids: I think it's a solution looking for a problem
sypher_: i also dig the usb - bit coin enabled key on almost human tv series :-)
herbijudlestoids: punkman1: appreciate the opinion :)
herbijudlestoids: its well out of my realm of understanding
punkman1: it's pretty much the same as backing up any other piece of data
punkman1: if your house burns down, you got fetch it from the offsite backup
herbijudlestoids: i guess i get what youre saying, that having the wallet files stored in multiple locations securely is probly as good as a cold storage device itself
punkman1: wallet file, long brainwallet key, whatever
sypher_: and I'm back in fiat.

herbijudlestoids: sypher_: what kind of games are you playing that youre losing sleep over the movement
sypher_: nothing, just excited to see the troll box on BTCe with all the boys shouting ... i just wanna buy back in when its gonna stop fallin; exited at a loss some time ago.
herbijudlestoids: what price did you want to buy at?
sypher_: 722 would be my target
herbijudlestoids: why not do a options spread on MPex? short the 722 puts
herbijudlestoids: and long whatever appropriately derisks you
herbijudlestoids: price goes to 722 and you get exercised, if not collect premium
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9800 @ 0.00086838 = 8.5101 BTC [+] {2}
sypher_: you're way over my understanding grade. I'm at the 'buy low; sell high' phase; which i could translate in 'i'm an idiot'. :-)
herbijudlestoids: options give you the right but not the obligation to long/short the underlying asset at a given strike price and date ...e.g the option to long BTCUSD at 1000 regardless of the price as of Jan 2014
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 7400 @ 0.00086849 = 6.4268 BTC [+]
herbijudlestoids: option to long is a call, option to short is a put. if you sell a put, youre selling the right for someone to short at a given price
herbijudlestoids: so you sell someone the contract which gives them the right to short BTCUSD at 722. they will never exercise this contract unless the price is <= 722
KRS-One: heh thanks nubbins`
KRS-One: oops
herbijudlestoids: if the contract expires or the price doesnt go below 722, you get to keep the "premium", the cost of the contract you sold
herbijudlestoids: if it does, then they exercise and short BTCUSD at 722, leaving you long BTCUSD at 722
herbijudlestoids: i dun know if MPEX supports naked short the contracts, looks like they only allow you to do what they call a SPLIT order, otherwise known as an options spread, so you short the 722 puts and long some distant strike call, like 1000 calls.
nubbins`: sorry for the stupid question, but i'm exceptionally thick with this sort of thing
nubbins`: that orgy of puts that was purchased the other day
nubbins`: purchaser is expecting btc to fall below ~500 or whatever it was?
herbijudlestoids: its impossible to tell really
herbijudlestoids: they could be insuring long contracts on another exchange or other options
herbijudlestoids: maybe they hold 1000BTC on bitstamp and want to insure against the price going below 500
nubbins`: slightly different question, purchaser profits if btc falls below 500?
herbijudlestoids: depends entirely on implied vol
nubbins`: just based on those actions
herbijudlestoids: if the price goes to 500 but IV when puts were purchased was at 50% and goes down to 20% then the puts might still be worthless
benkay: herbijudlestoids: no naked shorts on MPEx.
herbijudlestoids: value of option includes delta, theta, vega etc
sypher_: herbijudlestoids, thanks for the explanation, I'm trying to get my head around it
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: buying puts tends to be more of a call on IV than anything else...term structure also plays a part in profit, take a look at the NYSE listed VXX ETF versus VIX for an example of what term structure being in contango can do to a rolling IV long
dexX7: huh wasn't it the other way around aka. this guy sold puts?
herbijudlestoids: well, someone obviously sold the puts to the buyer
herbijudlestoids: if there is no naked puts then they must have been written against something
dexX7: the guyer was mpex/oe?
herbijudlestoids: i doubt its possible to know
nubbins`: afaik mpoe uses bond deposits to back options
nubbins`: although i'm barely at the level of understanding what i just said
herbijudlestoids: no i think youre correct, but i dont know anything about it specifically
ozbot: #bitcoin-assets log
dexX7: soo.. if i understand correctly, when the price goes up, this guy wins, right?
dexX7: just to be sure hehe
nubbins`: no idea anymore
herbijudlestoids: so the trader is shorting BTCUSD 500 puts
herbijudlestoids: the trade is a bet on IV being high and leveling off or going down, and that they wont get exercised (i.e. the price wont go below 500)
herbijudlestoids: if BTCUSD goes to 1200 in 1s then IV will go up and the value of the puts will increase commensurately...when puts are fare OTM (out of the money) then their intrinsic value is mostly comprised of IV
herbijudlestoids: if BTCUSD stays at 750 for 2 weeks without budging and IV goes down then the value of the puts goes down and whoever short them profits
herbijudlestoids: IV==implied volatility
herbijudlestoids: am i making sense?
herbijudlestoids: the value of the option isnt dependent just on price
nubbins`: you're talking about a foot above my head here, but the failing is mine, not yours
sypher_: nubbins`, think about how i feel; knowing that you're a whole 2 legs over my head. :-)
nubbins`: i'm a tall man :D
herbijudlestoids: there is no set in stone method to calculate the value of an option. there is the black scholes model which has its proponents and detractors. regardless of which model you use, there is a bunch of standard inputs called the greeks
nubbins`: sure
herbijudlestoids: delta, vega, theta, rho
herbijudlestoids: there is also some others like lambda and gamma, depending on your model
herbijudlestoids: now aside from all of this, there is the current market price that the options are worth
herbijudlestoids: lets stick with the example of a JAN 2015 $2000 BTCUSD CALL
nubbins`: okay
herbijudlestoids: the market price of the options "imply" what the market is considering the value of those greeks will be at settlement
nubbins`: the greeks are seismographs, for lack of a better analogy, correct?
herbijudlestoids: does that make sense? the market price of any given option might be very far away from what your model reckons it should be
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10050 @ 0.00086849 = 8.7283 BTC [+]
nubbins`: yes, sure
herbijudlestoids: so the market is implying, forecasting, trying to get the best price for what they think the options are worth
herbijudlestoids: the forecast isnt just for where the price of BTCUSD will be relativeto $2000 in a years time
herbijudlestoids: its also forecasting vega, delta etc
herbijudlestoids: some of the greeks are numeric values that you can simply calculate, like theta, which is the time value of the option.
herbijudlestoids: depending how far ITM/OTM (in the money or out of the money) the option is depends on what the market price of the option actually consists of
herbijudlestoids: for example, if the option is far OTM (e.g. the price of BTCUSD is $1 and the call is for $2000) then the value of the option will consist mostly of vega and theta (which is decaying as time goes on)
nubbins`: is it fair to say that the price of a given option indicates not only an expectation of price, but of volatility?
herbijudlestoids: like i said, depends how far ITM/OTM
benkay: yes. that is a core valuation principle.
benkay: sometimes a heavier factor than other times.
herbijudlestoids: now options have some synthetic equivalency
sypher_: uhm.
sypher_: herbijudlestoids, nubbins`, got an account at gox?
herbijudlestoids: i.e. shorting a $2000 call has the same/similar payoff profile (at settlement) to long $2000 put
herbijudlestoids: sypher_: no
herbijudlestoids: i own 0.02BTC
sypher_: there's a kinda bad news I'm reading on the troll box
herbijudlestoids: pastebin it
sypher_: gox hacked
herbijudlestoids: pastebin!
sypher_: https://twitter.com/revishere/status/431604103769104384
copumpkin: isn't that hte old one?
ozbot: Twitter / revishere: RT @deletesec: @MtGox ...
nubbins`: that tweet is from yesterday
nubbins`: and to answer your question, no, i don't have an account at gox
copumpkin: the tweet might be
copumpkin: but is the list ancient?
dexX7: it's the old one from 2011
dexX7: matches one to one
copumpkin: yeah
sypher_: then fake >_>
dexX7: yup fake. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94308.0 if you want to compare the lists
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: need more or make sense now?
nubbins`: herbijudlestoids, that clarifies things a bit, but i think what i really need is to visit the library
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: there is this awesome blogger bill luby, he does vixandmore.blogspot.com ...hardcore options geekery explained for the masses.
herbijudlestoids: mostly for regular markets but its all the same maths
nubbins`: ah, like the Scientific American of finance
herbijudlestoids: i actually got a kickass long vol model for NYSE index ETFs, probly wouldnt work on MPex
mike_c: nubbins, options are entirely about volatility. option pricing is "known", with volatility being the only variable in the equation.
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: one last point is that you can build positions that are much more dependent on IV than price, for example if i buy a call and buy a put for the same strike and expiry
herbijudlestoids: mike_c: err, well the underlying price isnt known :P
mike_c: strike price is known, spot price is known
mike_c: IV is the only variable
herbijudlestoids: lemme know how your IV only model works if MPBOR decides to move or whatever
mike_c: :) are you saying mpbor is a risk-free interest rate?
herbijudlestoids: well in the case of MPex options are you saying there is no rho?
herbijudlestoids: is the market so locally inefficient that price forecasting ability plays no role in alpha generation?
benkay: lol mpbonds risk free
mike_c: sry herb, yes. i am saying rho=0
herbijudlestoids: well in that case ok
