chipug: lol
Namworld: The puts were sold into MPEx bids. Although the strikes were 4100-5000 USD per BTC, the price those PUTs were sold meant it was only at a small loss at time of sale. So if prices went up, profits, if price went down, losses.
Namworld: No bet about price going over 5000
Namworld: If price had went up, even if it didn't go to over 5000, the price the PUTs were sold would have been more than their execution value, so the seller would be in the money.

Vexual: i never say it out loud
benkay`: it's SO MUCH FUN to be technically correct in a room full of hipsters, and similarly great fun to say it the way the rest of the world does in a room of nerds.
benkay`: not.

benkay`: well you've stuck around for more than three days and might be worth getting to know ;)
benkay`: what with your charts etc
herbijudlestoids: full disclosure benkay, like i said to kako the other day, i got a regular day job in a small company doing large scale openstack ops and iv been trading (mostly EOD) since 2008
Vexual: brb
herbijudlestoids: i split my time pretty much equally between them, 9-5ish at the company and 6-~bedtime researching, reading news, etc and then i will place trades on NY close
benkay`: what's a small company doing hosting big virtualized operations?
herbijudlestoids: we are first to market in aus, basically
herbijudlestoids: small now, big soon ;)
benkay: virtualization as a service?
benkay: what are your prices?
herbijudlestoids: full IaaS stack
benkay: SHOW ME YOUR PRICE SHEEEEET
benkay: plz.
herbijudlestoids: we dont provide a public cloud benkay, we build the public cloud for companies that want it ;)
herbijudlestoids: this is the smallest company iv ever worked for, usually i work for large research organisations and unis building this kind of stuff
benkay: are you some sort of vine-swinging operations wizard or something?
benkay: i'll grill you about your biz all night, friend. i just hit a wall on this thing and ran out of brain at the exact same time.
herbijudlestoids: well, apparently...basically i was just a regular sysadmin who knew puppet, and one large org needed a guy who knew puppet...i ended up deploying the pilot and first production phase
herbijudlestoids: took off from there
herbijudlestoids: benkay: how do i get this PDF to you
benkay: benkay@gmail.com
benkay: i'm not precisely hiding from anyone, you see.
herbijudlestoids: might not be the latest ver but should be close to
benkay: nah its great
herbijudlestoids: we got offices in aus and india and starting one in sth america very very soon
benkay: best of luck, i'm sure you'll all do well for yourselves.
benkay: i'm mostly curious about how other web-tech consulting operations break out pricing
herbijudlestoids: that is the plan, weve had a few buyout offers already but have to keep pushing them back as we grow

herbijudlestoids: i just developed a piece of software in december and we are going to demo it to ...a very large linux org next week, they are creaming their pants whenever our CEO mentions it
herbijudlestoids: sooo...lets talk BTC mining ROI
benkay: no no no no
herbijudlestoids: because, for amusement sake i have been keeping track
assbot: Last 4 lines bashed and pending review. (http://dpaste.com/1592159/plain/)
herbijudlestoids: and last night i actually noticed there were miners for sale that were ROI more BTC than they were worth
herbijudlestoids: i found a 100GH/s 28nm miner selling for 0.83BTC
benkay: well i'm intrigued to hear what you have to say but i suspect the long and the short of it is going to be 'unless you get the hardware or juice at a discount the breakeven is never'
herbijudlestoids: well i was just curious about your guys opinions, since its the first time iv ever seen a mining rig for sale that was able to ROI since...since GPUs were the thing
benkay: probably worn in harder than a bike that's been to burning man 5 times with 3 different owners
herbijudlestoids: specifically, last night i saw on ebay, a prospero x-1 100GH/s for 650AUD when the BTC/AUD price was 780...
herbijudlestoids: now obviously small fry 100GH/s is nothing but i thought it was interesting
punkman1: could mine ATC with it
benkay: i suspect it's a dead box hashing.
herbijudlestoids: benkay: whats dead box hashing?
benkay: now there's a thought - downcycle worn-in BTC asics on the altchains...
benkay: ...
benkay: "dead man walking"
herbijudlestoids: ah, as in difficulty rising faster than expected will mean it cant ROI? i guess so, the calculation i used assumed 50% increase/month in difficulty
benkay: implying that the man in question simply doesn't know that he's dead yet.
benkay: no, implying it's on its last legs.
herbijudlestoids: but the machines only just came out?
benkay: is it new in box?
benkay: un touched?
benkay: never run out-of-spec?
punkman1: "Need a C++ coder to join "CryptoCoin Developers Inc.' agency for creating new bitcoin related start up's"

punkman1: says late-april
benkay: uh
benkay: Delivery Date -- This is a PRE-ORDER, now on Batch 2 Round 1, all further orders are available for dispatch Late April 2014.
herbijudlestoids: ahh mhmhmhmm
herbijudlestoids: there is a bit down the bottom where the guy says something about having 10 of them
herbijudlestoids: maybe i misread

benkay: talk to kakobrekla he's had some luck mining and acquiring mining hardware
herbijudlestoids: hmm nah i guess that explains it, iv never seen mining hardware good for ROI before and i guess this isnt either
herbijudlestoids: just misread it
benkay: hey you guys you guys check out https://macys.com
benkay: macy's fucked up their cerrrrt

jayk: yeah
jayk: i thought it was sat
herbijudlestoids: benkay: that vol spike would be very hard to handle as a trade
benkay: need more context. what is the index axis?
benkay: herbijudlestoids ^^
herbijudlestoids: its the 20 tick standard deviation of 20 tick log normal returns
herbijudlestoids: so each "index" point is one datapoint in that timeseries

benkay: i have no idea what twenty-tick standard deviation of twenty tick log normal returns means
benkay: would you be so kind as to explain a little?
Vexual: yeah dumb it down for me too
herbijudlestoids: benkay: ok a tick is a trade
benkay: yup
herbijudlestoids: benkay: so the 20 tick log normal return is ln(CurrentTickPrice/TwentyTicksAgoPrice)
benkay: ah
benkay: why not time-normalize?
Vexual: wheres the wazardry?
herbijudlestoids: and then i take the rolling standard deviation of that value over the last 20 ticks
benkay: okay, still with you.
Vexual: i dont belive in stats
herbijudlestoids: that plot is the rolling standard deviation over the ticks
herbijudlestoids: you dont "believe" in them? lol
Vexual: well.....
benkay: okay, so how do we get from that graph to "that vol spike would be very hard to handle as a trade"?
herbijudlestoids: "why not time normalised" because MPEX doesn't really seem to operate like a regular exchange in terms of time and also there is not really enough trades happening in any given hour/4h/day block to make a realistic OHLC bargraph
benkay: reasonable
Vexual: keyword
herbijudlestoids: benkay: intraday mean reversion is basically betting against whatever just happened. if the price went down, you bet its about to go up.
benkay: although i have no idea what an OHLC bargraph is
herbijudlestoids: "open high low close"
Vexual: what of 24 hour trading genius?
herbijudlestoids: like the charts you can see on mpex.co already, i just dont think theyre portraying useful info
benkay: hm
herbijudlestoids: Vexual: what of it? New York close/New Zealand open is the 24h close

Vexual: yeah im where daytraders make their money
ozbot: Calvin Harris - Acceptable in the 80's (With Lyrics) - YouTube
benkay: so the spike at 400 is a crazy swing in price 400 ticks ago?
herbijudlestoids: benkay: basically betting against whatever just happened is usually profitably when volatility is high and declining...if its low and increasing youre likely in trouble
herbijudlestoids: benkay: almost, the spike at 400 is a crazy swing in price at the 400th tick in the timeseries
benkay: mhm
benkay: just a month ago, bottomed out at like .69 iirc
benkay: 0.00063 according to my books
herbijudlestoids: im very rarely a daytrader. i trade almost entirely EOD and dont like to keep turnover as low as possible for tax considerations
benkay: ha 0.00062792 would be where i caught that knife
benkay: well trade btc assets! tax free for 2003!
benkay: this will impact some trading strategies for sure.
herbijudlestoids: i already went through this with kako
herbijudlestoids: if i cant repatriate profits its not very useful for me
benkay: you'll get btc out, right?
herbijudlestoids: if i take sell BTC to buy AUD i need to explain that to the tax office
benkay: and you *can* sell those btc for cash in hand, right?
benkay: only if it hits your bank, right?
herbijudlestoids: theoretically, but its not really convenient
Vexual: im your tax man for bc herbi
Vexual: its easy, but do it
benkay: ah convenience
herbijudlestoids: lets say i invest $100,000 into trading BTC assets like MPOE, and i make 10% in a year, am i supposed do $10k cash in hand?
benkay: well yes, one must always sacrifice convenience on the altar of security. be it security from rogue computers or security from rogue regimes...
Vexual: you pay when you buy aud
benkay: what, does 10k CIH make you uncomfortable?
benkay: do you not have the resources to pull it off?

herbijudlestoids: and the tax office is suddenly asking where the discrepancy is from
benkay: chetty: refusing to embrace the future will be the death of many things. apple is on that list.
benkay: well dump it into 4x via bit4x for one
herbijudlestoids: i literally already had this exact convo with kakobrekla
Vexual: or buy a vex trust but its byolawyer now
benkay: your problem is not in repatriating btc into fiat.
benkay: that is not a problem any more.
benkay: forget about realizing your btc gains in fiat.
benkay: realize your gains in btc.
herbijudlestoids: its not about realising them
herbijudlestoids: its about balancing stuff across asset classes
benkay: maintain your fiat investments the way you normally od
benkay: do
Vexual: i can get you btc agro forestry and all the shit
benkay: hold btc and let it be your risk holding
herbijudlestoids: right, exactly, and now i have to manage two portfolios
benkay: you straddle two worlds.
benkay: they are antithetical to one another.
benkay: you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
herbijudlestoids: i can, and do, in physical gold :)
Vexual: lol
benkay: if you think like that you have much learning to do.
Vexual: i think herbi might teach you a few tricks too benkay
herbijudlestoids: benkay: think like what? that i can store surplus productivity in physical gold?
herbijudlestoids: Vexual: how are you doing that stuff without the ATO up your arse? or are you compliant?
benkay: that storing it in physical gold is preferrable to storing it in bitcoin.
Vexual: im not anything, ive got tricks, but my lawyers dont play anymore
Vexual: and tricks id poor grammar
Vexual: ato is cool with btc if you dont be a wanker
Vexual: nothing new
herbijudlestoids: exactly, if its treated like any other asset class then ceteris paribus trading in BTC has a higher cost base to me
herbijudlestoids: the only way i could reduce the cost base is by avoiding the tax
Vexual: yeah man, if yo make money, declare it
benkay: good night gents
benkay: enjoy your lifetime of servitude to the state
herbijudlestoids: the only profitable strategy i could think of is that i know the ATO has good treatment for options if theyre hedges to delta <0.3
herbijudlestoids: or something like that
herbijudlestoids: so you could long bitcoin
herbijudlestoids: and hold puts
herbijudlestoids: night benkay
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 2 @ 0.19376446 = 0.3875 BTC [+]
herbijudlestoids: benkay: the way i figure is iv already missed the initial wealth transfer...so why bother? if BTC takes over, i will be able to sell my human capital in BTC just as i now sell it in AUD
herbijudlestoids: i dont plan on buying BTC until the volatility dies off, thought it might be doing so but the last week of action has proved me wrong
Vexual: yes bc works like money
Vexual: its like rmb in oz
Vexual: nooones gonna tell you yu cant trade, beut when its aussie dollars, you pay tax, simple
Vexual: who does your tax re forex shit?
herbijudlestoids: accountant

ozbot: imgur: the simple image sharer
herbijudlestoids: 20% was the lowest ROC i found
Vexual: roc?
herbijudlestoids: rate of change
punkman1: what's with the flat parts
herbijudlestoids: i.e. over any given 30 day window, 20% was the lowest amount difficulty grew and 100% was the largest amount
herbijudlestoids: punkman1: where the rate of change does not change for several datapoints (days)
herbijudlestoids: i think because the difficulty only updates on each new block, so there is flat parts in the timeseries
punkman1: diff updates every X days not every block
herbijudlestoids: right, there you go then

herbijudlestoids: i read about it briefly but it went over my head
ThickAsThieves: i think because it's hot air
ThickAsThieves: the closest i've come to distilling why
ThickAsThieves: is i'm not sure you can have a real autononmous org without it also being spontaneous
ThickAsThieves: autonomous*
herbijudlestoids: whats the use case for the DAO?
ThickAsThieves: i'm also not clear how an autonomous entity would compete with real intelligent businesses
ThickAsThieves: the clearest case ive heard
ThickAsThieves: is a taxi service that runs itself
ThickAsThieves: self-driving cars
ThickAsThieves: that autoschedule repairs and upgrades
herbijudlestoids: ah ok hmmm
ThickAsThieves: and auto save profits
ThickAsThieves: to buy more cars
herbijudlestoids: so its gotta be businesses where theres lots of nodes and all the nodes are equal

herbijudlestoids: except the entire thing is stored on some server
herbijudlestoids: so not really

Vexual: its slower than pankakke coding
herbijudlestoids: its completely different
herbijudlestoids: tor is a routing layer which has exit nodes
herbijudlestoids: i2p is a routing layer without
herbijudlestoids: freenet is a distributed datastore
herbijudlestoids: theres no "servers"
ThickAsThieves: so everyone stores part of everyone else's websites?
herbijudlestoids: essentially, yea. its not too different from a DHT
herbijudlestoids: its not just website, its arbitrary bytes
ThickAsThieves: i feel like there are a dozen bitcoiners probly trying to make this a la blockchain and dont know it already exists
herbijudlestoids: if you wanted a distributed WoT, i would recommend a DHT underlying whatever the existing one is
herbijudlestoids: yea i get that feeling as well
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: thoughts on the freenet distributed WoT?
mircea_popescu: which one is this ?
ozbot: Web of Trust - Freenet Wiki
ThickAsThieves: what i want is basically like a openID or sign in with Facebook kinda thing but as a WoT
mircea_popescu: afaik nanotube was working on something like this since about 2012. is this his ?
mircea_popescu: then shrug.
mircea_popescu: people before tech.
herbijudlestoids: well maybe but i dun think so
mircea_popescu: (reason i hilited him is cause eventualy once he gets through the logs he can tell me lol)
Vexual: whos in awhat now?
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: seems like "invictus" is pushing keyhotee pretty hard for this, blockchain based
mircea_popescu: also, for the people following s.mg progress : working towards finally moving most of the thing into eclipse
ThickAsThieves: keyhotee will fail
ThickAsThieves: the name is horrible
mircea_popescu: o this is that ancient thing that never went nowhere

Vexual: 1 am 12 cnad what is this?
ThickAsThieves: oh he also made bitshares
herbijudlestoids: but firstly, how do you convince people to adopt it?
ThickAsThieves: for "Many alt-companies with creative profit models."
ThickAsThieves: you wrap it into bitcoin services
ThickAsThieves: appify it, i dunno
herbijudlestoids: for example, if everyone in -otc continues to use the centralised version, because they dont want to lose their existing rep, then what
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids i will continue to use otc, because i do not use solutions of nobodies.

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: just in the hypothetical that a somebody made something good
mircea_popescu: this bs where 20something dork "comes up" with some sort of "revolutionary" thing and everyone cares is not unlike manga.
Vexual: cock mouth is always a risk
mircea_popescu: not only it never happens, it never should happen and by god im here to ensure it never does.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids nobody definitely didn't make something good.
mircea_popescu: he made something that looks good to idiots.
mircea_popescu: i tell ye.
mircea_popescu: there's more to "good" than meets the eye
mircea_popescu: it's just that you're new here and haven't gone through the training process
herbijudlestoids: lets just say that you made a nice distributed WoT
mircea_popescu: you did not.
ThickAsThieves: you, not you
Vexual: say what?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves lol.
herbijudlestoids: *you*, mp, not you as in the hypothetical you
mircea_popescu: but it's absurd, i don't code.
ThickAsThieves: maybe you paid some other somebody to do it
herbijudlestoids: godanget, i dunno, somebody who you dont think is a retard
mircea_popescu: the very proposition belies fundamental ignorance of the entire thing, which is why i object.
mircea_popescu: so you mean "someone in your wot"
herbijudlestoids: so lets say that make it and its good
herbijudlestoids: now how do you drive teh adoptionz
Vexual: mp is very adverse to starting with 0
mircea_popescu: that'd be something i can't explain to you.
herbijudlestoids: im too retarded?
mircea_popescu: but compare and contrast (by which i mean meditate upon) the alt coin with max keiser's alt coin and you'll perhaps you'll come to something.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids no, it's not intelligence you lack, it's the experience that'd inform that intelligence.
Vexual: never too retarded, might have to reword the question
ThickAsThieves: well i was gonna say, why is driving adoption so integral to the goal
ThickAsThieves: make it because it's worth being made
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves because people today grow up in this echo chamber
mircea_popescu: "you guise think drugs are cool rite ? cause there's these bath salts here..."
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: well if the inertia of the existing system means nobody uses it, then it fails at its fundamental goal of being a distributed WoT that derives its value from having lots of credible ratings
Vexual: mcafee is cool, bathselts arent
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 16 @ 0.19376446 = 3.1002 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids your fundamental presumption is that everyone is at all times in the position to make anything.
mircea_popescu: this is false.
ThickAsThieves: what if you let people port trust, and they get a note on their account
ThickAsThieves: Trust History from OTC WoT*
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: i was thinking of something like that, maybe you can model existing WoTs as nodes in the graph
mircea_popescu: the declaration of love that sunk cleopatra is not something every roman citizen could have made any time they felt like it.
ThickAsThieves: maybe our wot sipports wots
mircea_popescu: only cesar and antony, and only at proper times.
Vexual: mcaffee read erowid and pisssed something better
mircea_popescu: most of the possibility of the world is locked away from most people most of the time.
herbijudlestoids: ok well in that case its horizontally compatible and doesnt depend on any adoption, in fact would be quite useful in case for example catastrophe strikes the existing WoT server it might be stored on someone elses computer
mircea_popescu: i have a copy of the current wot. so can you
Vexual: im veetically inept
mircea_popescu: it uses the mpex "make your own backups if you're worried" model
ThickAsThieves: so it's a wot of wots then
Vexual: how does a cardano make mpex better?
ThickAsThieves: maybe each wot chain comes with it's own level of trust too
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: do you just wget the viewratings.php?
mircea_popescu: Vexual i have no idea. the disadvantage of making tools for a reason rather than towards a purpose is that it's really up to the users to figure out how to wring all the utility out of them.
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: if each WoT is just a node in the graph it can be exactly so
mircea_popescu: linus really had no idea what linux is good for.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids nono, look in the wiki there's a link to backups
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: ah ok thx
herbijudlestoids: so you just cron those or somethin
mircea_popescu: within reason.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: ok so the existing server eats shit somehow, and you have your backup, someone wants to sell you 50 BTC and they screw you somehow, you want to let others know by giving that person a negative rating but you cant
herbijudlestoids: you have to fire up mpwot.com and convince people to use it
mircea_popescu: wait wait.
mircea_popescu: who says i'm trading without a wot ?
Vexual: i will
Vexual: is it a thing?
herbijudlestoids: so the wot goes down and liquidity vanishes?
mircea_popescu: liquidity in the periphery
herbijudlestoids: right, i guess you dont need the wot for everyone
mircea_popescu: this is how financial networks work : when standardisation goes down the periphery eats it.
herbijudlestoids: just people you dont already know
Vexual: soemone at emy sushi
mircea_popescu: which incidentally shows you a different path into why the periphery can not be the standardisation driver
mircea_popescu: which is exactly homologuous to what i said earlier.
Vexual: this can oly be good
herbijudlestoids: teehee you said homo
ThickAsThieves: so what youre saying is, the best way to model reputation systems, is like how they work IRL?!
Vexual: :)
Vexual: welsome to earth herbi
herbijudlestoids: anyone know if the existing WoT software is open source?
herbijudlestoids: sounds like all it needs is an extra piece of functionality, so each WoT node can talk to other WoT nodes
herbijudlestoids: and rate them
mircea_popescu: it has that already
mircea_popescu: write an irc bot.
mircea_popescu: talk to gribble.
Vexual: i really wanted to eat that
herbijudlestoids: so ThickAsThieves whats missing?
herbijudlestoids: sounds like functionality is there
mircea_popescu: nothing is missing lol
ThickAsThieves: as usual
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: he was saying just before you came in that he wanted a distributedier WoT
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, are we stupid or something ? been using this thing for years, i promote it as the solution, something;'s missing ?
mircea_popescu: caus ewhy.
herbijudlestoids: i just assumed the functionality wasnt there
mircea_popescu: yeah well.
ThickAsThieves: so why dont i use wot to log into things?
mircea_popescu: because things suck.
Vexual: coz your house aint amart
mircea_popescu: takes all of five minutes to steal gribble id code.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile all the fuckwitted uk people who spend their time pretending to be women and pretending to be famous and important and into tech
Vexual: i wish i knew hwo at emy sushi
mircea_popescu: spend all their time making retarded websites encouraging little boys to waste their life similarly
herbijudlestoids: so really what you want, ThickAsThieves is a REST API
mircea_popescu: because then if there are many idiots in the same boat it wouldn't have been a waste.
herbijudlestoids: so that people can query whichever shits they want in web services?
mircea_popescu: and i think exactly the same of friedcat and co, too. when i say it's a sad story this is what i mean.
Vexual: theres noone here its proaby still there
ThickAsThieves: it may be time to ignore vexual
Vexual: bitch

mircea_popescu: like i dunno, spending all their money on facebook ads.
ThickAsThieves: also xerox has spent a long time becoming a sales and repair company
mircea_popescu: cause of conceptual confusion engendered by the "market"
ThickAsThieves: new tech not so much
mircea_popescu: exactly.
Vexual: imagine being a xerox texh
mircea_popescu: cost more to explain to xerox employees wtf this is supposed to be than to just make a new xerox.
Vexual: treporno
ThickAsThieves: i was never a xerox tech, but something very close
Vexual: pool cleaner?
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha
ThickAsThieves: i did repair my own xerox on several occassions
ThickAsThieves: ESTAT machines
mircea_popescu: you should have ignored him when you could. now you're stuck
herbijudlestoids: whats that ThickAsThieves?
Vexual: i would fix the fuck outta those laser printers
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves their health monitor thing ?
ThickAsThieves: they are these large format printers that use static (sorta like a xerox) to pattern a coated paper
ThickAsThieves: the paper runs a few inches away from ink wells
ThickAsThieves: the ink sticks to the paper
ThickAsThieves: then you run the paper with fabric into a rolling heat press
ThickAsThieves: to dye sublimate
ThickAsThieves: the machines never run perfectly
ThickAsThieves: cuz humidity etc
ThickAsThieves: but the prints are quite nice
ThickAsThieves: i dont think they are in use anymore
ThickAsThieves: people use inkjets to same purpose
herbijudlestoids: watch out we got a fuckin printing nerd over here :P
herbijudlestoids: so what were you using it for ThickAsThieves? tshirts or banners or something?
mircea_popescu: nubbins is the same way.
ThickAsThieves: tension fabric structures
Vexual: tshirts
mircea_popescu: o wait. you're the guy that can make us the mesh dome anti-hypersonic-missile defense.
ThickAsThieves: it's where i learned that geometry was useful too
Vexual: big pecks
mircea_popescu: jesus. so i go check trilema awstats. i find out that TO THIS DAY my 2nd most read article is a 2012 romanian language guide for women as to how you suck cock.
Vexual: mp do you actually have a haerum, or is that a joke about the slaves email?
mircea_popescu: that thing is never going away. "mp ? what, bitcoin, whatever ? nah, this guy is famous because that one time he wrote a cocksucking guide"
mircea_popescu: Vexual i keep slaves.
Vexual: my brain
herbijudlestoids: well the target audience is slightly larger mp, between 50% of the romanian population who are potentially interested (+ gay guys) versus what...0.5% of global pop interested in bitcoin?
ThickAsThieves: i bet straight guys visit the page more than anyone
mircea_popescu: so then .5 * 20 / .005 * 10000
mircea_popescu: seems to me...
herbijudlestoids: maybe 0.5% is too much, thats 30 million people, you took me literally sir
mircea_popescu: well, if you model the same way it's 50% vs 100%
mircea_popescu: because all people are interested in bitcoin the way all women are interested in sucking it.
ThickAsThieves: "We have received positive reply from Havelock and an application form. Business plan is under development."
Vexual: i do some handy rope work
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i guess that sums it up.
ThickAsThieves: IPO first, questions later
mircea_popescu: it's remarkable how little people understand of what they're actually saying.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if they have no business training at all.
mircea_popescu: kramerica industries ftw!
ThickAsThieves: training, they havent left the house
Vexual: ill invert some braid like it was made like that
mircea_popescu: that's ambiguous. do you mean as in otaku or do you mean as in, still being underage.
herbijudlestoids: a solitary man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken
ThickAsThieves: i mean they havent done drugs and been in a porno
mircea_popescu: Vexual you know there's a lot of aussie chicks into being roped up.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves ahahaha win.
Vexual: yeah they don't pay for good ropework
mircea_popescu: they could all call themselves buck naked
mircea_popescu: and then we could have buck naked does X obscure town in kanuckistan, volume 75984576985
herbijudlestoids: buck in kanuck
mircea_popescu: Vexual maybe they pay in kind.
Vexual: i mainly do boats
mircea_popescu: vexual's crochet yacht ?
ThickAsThieves: so blockr.io won't host an ATC block explorer, yet
mircea_popescu: (all new material) ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves says who ?
Vexual: yes, i can read japanese too
ThickAsThieves: the staff
ThickAsThieves: "I'm not familiar how coinmarketcap.com works but I was certain I'd find you there. Did you not request to be added there?
herbijudlestoids: ghmm, nope
ThickAsThieves: "Unfortunatelly that's almost all that we've done. And there's so much more we want to do with blockr. So we made a decision to stop adding new coins for some time."
Vexual: pictures and shit
ThickAsThieves: "We'll add new features to blockr and then we'll proceed with second phase of adding coins. Blockr is modular and ATC doesn't seem to be problematic to add. We'll make a public announcement when phase II starts."
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves sounds to me like you got support. give it a few.
Vexual: if you want the real alt you dont wanna be in every marketplace
ThickAsThieves: yeah no need to force it
ThickAsThieves: just putting it out there
ThickAsThieves: an explorer will be nice
Vexual: got a server?
ThickAsThieves: a couple
Vexual: i cant afford underpants
mircea_popescu: Perlboy bugpowder went and explained it to people on the forum ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=jvs9l9mqvr6d3hnql5bfs445b1&topic=449354.msg4959357#msg4959357 ) and it has been discussed here in public plus a bunch of kids with blogs wanted to "interview" me or w/e.
herbijudlestoids: Vexual: ill host your underpants
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: whats the link for altcoin again?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves was blockchain.info os ?
ThickAsThieves: www.therealaltcoin.org
ThickAsThieves: the source is in the forum link
herbijudlestoids: open source
Perlboy: mircea_popescu, appreciate the answer so thanks. So in summary someone gambled the price would goto 4000->5000 by end of February?
ThickAsThieves: i doubt it
kakobrekla: tat blockr will add atc
mircea_popescu: Perlboy nah, it's a lot finer than that. basically gambled price will go up
Perlboy: cause that's the way bugpowders response read.
mircea_popescu: magically THE NEXT FUCKING DAY the price went down
mircea_popescu: Perlboy naked puts work like this : you make money by the price rising up to your strike. so in the 800-5k per interval, the puts slowly made money for the seller.
herbijudlestoids: Perlboy: i tried to explain it to nubbins yesterday (in depth) if you wanna look through the logs
mircea_popescu: obviously in the 0-800 interval they lose money.
ThickAsThieves: <kakobrekla> tat blockr will add atc --- you know them?
kakobrekla: ThickAsThieves , i talked to mah bois after you got dumped

mircea_popescu: she included graphs for womenz and other visual thinkers.
mircea_popescu: i think they help a lot, personally.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: you can just google short put to see the payoff graphs for it ;)

herbijudlestoids: ok...so whats that to do with me?

mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids that's what sane people say.
herbijudlestoids: Diablo-D3: did i? lol i was in the conversation, was there a facet of me getting told that i missed
Diablo-D3: herbijudlestoids: you got told. pretty sure.
herbijudlestoids: haha ok, maybe i missed something
mircea_popescu: anyway. i love you all!
Diablo-D3: no you dont
kakobrekla: and you still want mp to take lsd
herbijudlestoids: the message i took away was that theres no real reason to change from the existing WoT, which i assumed wasnt distributed, because ThickAsThieves said he wanted a more distributedy WoT
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: well itd certainly make conversations about why people might try it a little easier
herbijudlestoids: but no i dont necessarily want him to try it, i dont have some kind of dogma where everyone should try drugs or whatever
asciilifeform: did someone actually explain how one might build a working 'distributed wot' or merely insisted that it must be done?
herbijudlestoids: yea, i was proposing some things before mircea_popescu showed up, his log only starts from there
herbijudlestoids: nothing especially genius
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: the easy way is to just use pgp ;)
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: but it sounds like the existing WoT is already distributable
Diablo-D3: wotcoin
Diablo-D3: lulz
asciilifeform: distributable != distributed
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not a trivial problem, a distributed wot.
Diablo-D3: actually, it kind of is a trivial problem
Diablo-D3: you're just stating the problem wrong
mircea_popescu: a trusted wot so far wins on practical grounds. not that i think it's a bad idea a proper distributed implementation should be made
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: certainly not. which is why i was somewhat surprised to hear of it
mircea_popescu: in fact afaik that's what nanotube's been working on
mircea_popescu: the only thing is... it has to be done well, as opposed to just done so someone can go to conferences herpderping about 3d printed wots
asciilifeform: the 'trivial solution' would be, somewhat obviously: everybody pgp-signs all wot ops, and people simply mirror the results
asciilifeform: (anyone can download the history and re-tally the scores.)
asciilifeform: the wot as we have it now is perfectly sybil-able
asciilifeform: hence the precaution, explained to all newcomers, of ignoring absolute scores and looking at the 'who'
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: from what i understand the existing each "centralised" WoT can talk to other WoTs, and assign trust to them http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-02-2014#490339
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1598 @ 0.00085468 = 1.3658 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: yes, but, sy1's rating of sy2 does not carry my signature
mircea_popescu: and i wouldn't want to pgp sign it either
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids well, technically, they'd have to talk to it, but yes.
herbijudlestoids: they? it?
mircea_popescu: they = other wots ; it = this wot.
herbijudlestoids: thats the way im visualising it in my head now
herbijudlestoids: multiple connected "small worlds"
mircea_popescu: sounds like a winner, really.
herbijudlestoids: from what you said earlier, i assumed its possible already without any additoinal code
mircea_popescu: much better to have decentralised city-states run by one man
herbijudlestoids: did i misunderstand?
mircea_popescu: than to have either world empire run by one man or world bureaucracy
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids well, the aditional code would be they need to talk to gribble.
mircea_popescu: the code is already written tho.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 1 @ 0.12660001 BTC [-]
herbijudlestoids: right...so yea...
mircea_popescu: it's fargo two and they'll shoot it all in la...
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: so, yea? yea.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 1 @ 0.12500001 BTC [-]
herbijudlestoids: so gribble is officially the -otc bot right, not the -assets bot?
mircea_popescu: assbot is the assets bot run by kakobrekla.
mircea_popescu: gribble is the bitcoin bot, run by nanotube, who's been kind enough to add it here.
mircea_popescu: ozbot i think is scrat's ? or who run that ?
mircea_popescu: and mpexbot is run by smickles
assbot: dude, i run kakobrekla.
mircea_popescu: that too.
herbijudlestoids: but only gribble is the arbiter for WoT right? like gribble connects to same backend as -otc website?
mircea_popescu: it's a good interface because freenode is ddos resistent
mircea_popescu: and irc bots are really not that hard to talk to
ThickAsThieves: jezzz runs ozbot
herbijudlestoids: so lets say i want to run ozWoT, for cool oz kids like myself, and i clone the code off github (or wherever it lives) and setup my own gribblesque bot, users talking to my bot should be able to rate users through gribble and vice versa
mircea_popescu: vice versa i doubt
mircea_popescu: but i guess if you keep cloning the wot you may display more or less in sync results independently
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 22500 @ 0.0008553 = 19.2443 BTC [+]
herbijudlestoids: so all the extra bots are periphery
mircea_popescu: course it's... "independently"
herbijudlestoids: so if the -otc WoT goes down, then users of my WoT can still rate other users in the same web, and interrogate the local cache of the -otc WoT, but they cant push ratings around the graph (outside the local WoT)
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids gribble will see an "ozwot" guy, and that "ozwot" guy will be rating people in wot
mircea_popescu: and wot users who actually wish to rate people in ozwot would talk to ozbot
herbijudlestoids: right right, ok so gribble can at best assign trust to the ozwot guy rather than individuals within
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't particularly assign trust to the gateway
mircea_popescu: no reason you want that, really, i know it's a gateway, woting it is meaningless.
mircea_popescu: (look at gribble's own rating, or
mircea_popescu: ;;gettrust paypal
gribble: WARNING: Currently not authenticated. Trust relationship from user mircea_popescu to user paypal: Level 1: 0, Level 2: -2 via 4 connections. Graph: http://b-otc.com/stg?source=mircea_popescu&dest=paypal | WoT data: http://b-otc.com/vrd?nick=paypal | Rated since: Sat Aug 25 19:56:10 2012
mircea_popescu: then once enough people actually want to rate someone in ozwot they'll keep bitching at nanotube who will eventually add a back flow.
herbijudlestoids: so users of ozwot can query both local and -otc wot members (and any others in the list i guess), but gribble users have to query two WoTs to get the same coverage
mircea_popescu: or else he won't, and if the people hate it enough wot will die out
mircea_popescu: all natural.
herbijudlestoids: yea, seems ok to me...
mircea_popescu: the only drawback is that it's not instantaneous, which makes it "unrevolutionary"
mircea_popescu: which in turn makes it great.
herbijudlestoids: i mean as a method of distributing the WoT
herbijudlestoids: i downloaded a chinese gangster movie but it has no subtitles :(
ThickAsThieves: pop in The Wall?
herbijudlestoids: i dont know cantonese or mandarin either :(
Duffer1: lol TaT
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: hmmm though ok... "ozwot guy" cant rate users through gribble unless it has a rating...
ThickAsThieves: as far as the wot distribution problem, i think i have an idea, outside services that integrate with it
ThickAsThieves: like, a social media site
ThickAsThieves: some way to get interfaces and easy use
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 0.93429002 BTC to 974 shares, 95923 satoshi per share
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: so hax elgg to query gribble
herbijudlestoids: and then host that elgg
ThickAsThieves: asking the wrong guy
ThickAsThieves: people would probably eat up a wotbook right now, could even kill bitcointalk
ThickAsThieves: cuz community and being a part of something
Duffer1: that's quite an interesting idea
herbijudlestoids: the problem is do people in the wot want to "socialise"
herbijudlestoids: like if i bought some BTC off you one time and rated you, now youre in my wotbook feed?
ThickAsThieves: thats not the problem at all
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1900 @ 0.0008553 = 1.6251 BTC [+]
ThickAsThieves: so opposite
ThickAsThieves: this isnt about trying to get people who already use wot to use wot
herbijudlestoids: right now the WoT is based on business transactions, youre proposing something where people just build a social graph
ThickAsThieves: well, a reputation ledger
ThickAsThieves: an identity
herbijudlestoids: so, not wotbook then
ThickAsThieves: well depends which part of the idea you mean
herbijudlestoids: the existing WoT is a reputation ledger.
ThickAsThieves: wotbook was to help distibution
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids yes but all it needs is a 1
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the drivers of btctalk are scamming and derping.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids dude you highlighted me first!

mircea_popescu: #bitcoin-fargochannel
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: what im trying to say is, if the reputation ledge is built on the back of wotbook then its just a social graph.
herbijudlestoids: i vote my mate joe up because hes my mate joe!
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you read mpoe-pr's post re wot and how to use it ?
herbijudlestoids: not because joe delivered 100 BTC to me successfully
mircea_popescu: sounds like btctalk alright.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: nope havent...i got a WoT account and messed with gribble on it already
ThickAsThieves: i vote my mate joe up because hes my mate joe! --- this person will get rep with people that value that
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: i think the reputation ledger has value specifically because its business transactions
ThickAsThieves: you cant start discerning between which ratings are meaningful or not yourself, thats the whole point of the damn system
mircea_popescu: there you go.

mircea_popescu: dear channel, allow me to recount my sad story.
mircea_popescu: it is a story of hope, blogging and unbridled enthusiasm, in which I, a crookeyed optimist, tried to use my five year old heavily modified wordpress installation to post things.
mircea_popescu: part and parcel of this being showing the people tits. until one day!
mircea_popescu: for one day, when i went to add a new pair of tits, the "insert image" button simply redirected me to a random page of my blog
mircea_popescu: instead of taking me back to the publishing box with the pre-prepared html code referencing the image
mircea_popescu: and i was mighty sad
mircea_popescu: and i cursed
mircea_popescu: and swore
mircea_popescu: and made the poor unfortunate junior dev read my entire installantion, in spite of it not having been modified, to find wtf
mircea_popescu: and then made a junior sysadmin look through the logs
mircea_popescu: and they found nothing and i was livid with fury
mircea_popescu: and i broke a keyboard into pieces
mircea_popescu: because motherfucking god almighty if it works today and it doesn't work tomorrow i wish the world entire to burn.
mircea_popescu: and so they wrote me a thing to go around it.
mircea_popescu: a month later, i couldn't connect to my blog. like at all.
mircea_popescu: and i was in the middle of the posting.
mircea_popescu: which made me furious.
mircea_popescu: but then people were wtf are you about, i see it
mircea_popescu: and lo and behold! for i saw with mine owne eyes downforeveryone saying lelz at me
mircea_popescu: so then i screamed obscenities in a lengthy single breath of fifty eight minutes
mircea_popescu: and eventually we discovere dthe newly installed mod_security comes with rules now.
mircea_popescu: which rules block fucking wordpress from injecting itself with itself
mircea_popescu: which is how it works
mircea_popescu: also joomla

ozbot: [MPEx] Introducing F.PURE.SYNTH
benkay: furthermore, that project is on hold.
ozbot: luke-jr is a scammer - he renegged on a bitcoin futures contract
Duffer1: er meni rosenfeld
B007: mircea_popescu: I can't even read that
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: why do you like to promote lies and scammers?
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr that'd be the oposite of what i do.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, what was the real story there ?
benkay: luke claims that because his counterparty didn't file claims within some window of time he was absolved of his obligation to pay.
mircea_popescu: kinda how things work...
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: we agreed that I'd sell him <n> BTC for <n> USD at a future date. he never showed until like a month later demanding I just pay him some amount outright
nubbins`: nevermind that, what's a "synthetic copy" of an asset?
mircea_popescu: course, why did the cp go on forum then ?
Luke-Jr: benkay: I had no obligation to "pay".
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr ah.
Luke-Jr: it was a trade.
Luke-Jr: he would have recieved something, and I would have received something back.
Luke-Jr: I was at no point under an oblgiation to sell what I got back to him at market price.
mircea_popescu: any of this in proper form (ie, as pgp signed ?)
Luke-Jr: irrelevant, but no
mircea_popescu: well, why did a third party buy your alleged debt ?
Luke-Jr: no idea
mircea_popescu: aite well... still pretty lulzy.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't necessarily have to be X or Y to be epic you know.
Luke-Jr: IIRC, had he shown up, and we made that trade, I'd have made a profit in the month he was MIA
copumpkin: irrelephant?
nubbins`: daww
nubbins`: i'm still confused about f.pure.synth
nubbins`: indulge me with the elevator pitch?
benkay: pmb, unless i miss my read.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` a synthetic was a relatively retarded construction, sadly made necessary by the very opaque manner of conducting "business" employed by the glbse muppets.
nubbins`: benkay: pmb, yep, i've got that much
mircea_popescu: it's basically "i will pay out whatever X so called asset pays out"
nubbins`: to what end?
mircea_popescu: if your credit is better than the issuer's this then gives investors incentive to buy your synthetic rather than the original, starving scams of cash.
pankkake: the goal was to short those assets?
nubbins`: a-ha.
mircea_popescu: a desperate measure for desperate times.
nubbins`: interesting
mircea_popescu: very disruptive, especially as nobody readily imagined such a thing can even exist.
mircea_popescu: at least not originally.
nubbins`: were PMBs not generally recognized to be dog turds back then?
mircea_popescu: pmbs were generally recognised to be dog turds back then about to the degree hearn is recognised as a dog turd today.
nubbins`: sure
nubbins`: so... you offered a cheaper turd to undercut the turd salesmen?
nubbins`: srsly struggling to understand here
mircea_popescu: read the forum sometime, people really thought it's the path to glory.
nubbins`: oh yeah, people lapped 'em up despite people SCREAMING that they were bad ideas
mircea_popescu: nubbins` mostly to create an actual market.
nubbins`: i mean, fucking eskimo bob was telling people not to buy them
mircea_popescu: they for instance had massive issues with shorting. mental issues.
mircea_popescu: of the sort that bubble up even today, with the braindamaged "trading closed for ipo" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: there's some schmuck from the early days plainly stating it in some thread, "the ipo is not for investors to make money but for the company to make money" or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: total disconnect from reality.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 5 @ 0.04897964 = 0.2449 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: anyway, in the case there : at the time the difficulty had gone up maybe 50% over 3 months, the dividends were mostly absent and the thing still traded "At price"
mircea_popescu: because that's what counted for a market back then, a buncha forum tards being friendly
mircea_popescu: after the synth price normalised and soon enough it was in the shitter.
mircea_popescu: eventually glbse cratered and erased the thing.
mircea_popescu: and meni rosenfeld moved on to to obscure turd pushing with what was going to become bitdaytrade
mircea_popescu: a sort of kraken of 2012 as it turns out.
nubbins`: oh yeah, kraken still hasn't verified my false info
nubbins`: forgot i signed up
mircea_popescu: i r so disappoint with that thing.
mircea_popescu: they really seemed like they're competent for a while.
mircea_popescu: benkay "Predictably1, BS&T failed to issue the number of bonds they'd committed to, and Popescu was relieved of his obligation to pay out on the above synthetics."
mircea_popescu: that's not exactly correct.
benkay: o!
benkay: well, do enlighten.
mircea_popescu: the thing opened, all full of trepidation, abunch were bought
mircea_popescu: then the forum cartel backtracked
mircea_popescu: people panicked and sold into my MM bids
mircea_popescu: which were low.
mircea_popescu: this all happened much before expiration.
duduqa: Hi, everyone
B007: hi
benkay: those are additional facts, sure
benkay: but BS&T did fail to issue the number of promised bonds, and you were relieved of your obligation were you not?
mircea_popescu: this was never judged.
mircea_popescu: it never actually got to be a cogent point
benkay: so what happened at expiration?
B007: guys how do I get rich?
mircea_popescu: benkay nothing because iirc i was holding the whole load.
benkay: ah
mircea_popescu: B007 you get your words very well defined and your questions super sharp
mircea_popescu: by the time you're done with that you're rich already and don't even know when you bought copumpkin a new bionic girlfriend/maid.

benkay: nasty mining is still a thing, innit? can't say as I've gotten much past april 2012
B007: mircea_popescu: I think then you just die from a dictionary
B007: mircea_popescu: do you ever use otr
B007: mircea_popescu: cool
ozbot: Beware: Bitcoin casino is cheating, changes outcome of their roulette
mircea_popescu: this is kinda lulz.y
mircea_popescu: "Their roulette is technically provably fair and they are publishing complete results from previous day. But they are cheating in such naive way that they simply change outcome of roulette game when needed and later in published results from previous day they show different outcome, which is correct one but was not used."
B007: I'm going to go play games
B007: see you all later
mircea_popescu: how come everyone wants to be rich these days.
mircea_popescu: i mean back before roosevelt i could understand it, being poor meant fucking starving.
B007: it is the new trend
mircea_popescu: but today ?! what difference does it make, 99% of all derps live in the same exact conditions anyway
B007: bragging rights
duduqa: "<mircea_popescu> but today ?! what difference does it make, 99% of all derps live in the same exact conditions anyway" - this
Dimsler: lol
Dimsler: rih
B007: no need to work
Dimsler: er rich
Duffer1: i don't want stuff or things, i just want my mom to retire
Dimsler: only way to become rich these days is to steal it
mircea_popescu: B007 if you didn't work you'd just go crazy.
mircea_popescu: what work. not like you go dig up coal in a mine or anything.
B007: I have never worked so far
mircea_popescu: derping about with a purpose is necessary for your sanity.
mircea_popescu: B007 i figured you must be in school.

duduqa: bye bye fols
duduqa: folks
Jere_Jones: I'm looking to swap some real btc for gox btc as I believe that, eventually, I will be able to withdrawl.
benkay: wow that's a bold position
mircea_popescu: o get out. i'm not helping you do that.
benkay: you must have coins to burn.
Jere_Jones: I have coins that I don't need available immediately.
mircea_popescu: that is possibly the most insane thing i heard ever since i heard of people "buying pirate debt"
mircea_popescu: also, you need someone with a gox acct to escrow for you neh ?
Jere_Jones: Don't think so.
Jere_Jones: The escrow would hold the btc I send until I confirm receipt of the goxBTC.
mircea_popescu: so what, half escrow ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, and then what's the op to do ? you get the goxbtc and claim you didn't.
PierreCPA: Do you have a contingency plan if they go enter into bankruptcy? You have experience with the Japanese bankruptcy system and creditor claims?
mircea_popescu: PierreCPA o you the twitter guy ?
mircea_popescu: welcome.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin needs more accounting professionals.
PierreCPA: thank you, I was going to sit back and lurk but had to ask that haha
PierreCPA: I've noticed
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 4 @ 0.53099995 = 2.124 BTC [+] {2}
Jere_Jones: No contingency. Just a belief that the problems are technical, not solvency. From what I can tell, mtgox is incompetent, not broke.
mircea_popescu: this guy is like jesse james.
deadweasel: fractional reserve falling apart, more likely.
PierreCPA: Ah, I see, what's your belief based on?

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 15 @ 0.53592003 = 8.0388 BTC [+] {6}
Jere_Jones: It is based on what I know of MtGox's backend, the transactions that are getting stalled, and how easy it would be to write a system to cause those problems.

deadweasel: so nothing.
truffles: what about problems outside of their control

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Whip the kittens already
mircea_popescu: awww ty deadweasel.
deadweasel: i hadn't saved a gif link in years. that ws too good
truffles: awww
mircea_popescu: didja ever find the viruses you were looking for ?
truffles: too bad no audio
deadweasel: i think antibiotics killed the lyme, im' got post-lyme disease syndrome, immune systems continues to battle invisible enemies
deadweasel: you talking about bacteriophage, right?
deadweasel: haven't had to do it. nice to have it all ready in case of freak outbreak of something new. 3 weeks to a new phage, give or take.

truffles: i kill bugs on site so...
mircea_popescu: they're about the size of afids really.

benkay: now with discussion of mike_c's "you can raise it but you can't spend it"
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 1 @ 0.19376446 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: benkay speaking of that discussion, this month is quite the reverse.
truffles: benkay is that answer to my ? ^^
mircea_popescu: "oh if only we had spent btc at 1200 to acquire real goods now worth 2x in btc"
benkay: the curse of volatility.
benkay: "you can raise it, but now you have to spend it optimally"
mircea_popescu: moreover, an important point to be considered is that the real assets of btc corps act as an absolutel bottom in the btc exchange.
mircea_popescu: which is always nice to have.
benkay: yeah no shit
mircea_popescu: anyway, all this is going in s.mg feb report, so.
benkay: oh minigame's looking to burn some cash?
mircea_popescu: no, but i gotta follow up with something for investor's benefit.
mircea_popescu: after last month's haha aren;t you glad we didn't spend anything
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You finally bought the Eve devs?
nubbins`: nasty mining is, i believe, still a thing
benkay: well in three months time it'll be back to 'aha aren't you glad we didn't spend anything' again
mircea_popescu: have you SEEN the eve devs ? i'd rather buy a zoo
mircea_popescu: benkay either that or "sorry, but we had to spend it eventually"
benkay: this is what executive leadership is for. deciding when to burn the btc.
benkay: naively, at the last possible moment. more sophisticatedly, at the right time.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But you can feed devs pouridge and give it a fancy name like Soylent, its rather cheap. The zoo's Lions would be malnourished.
mircea_popescu: notrly. the duck does that part.
mircea_popescu: the executive leadership is for taking the burns once it blows up
benkay: ah, sorry? as in taking the burn for not spending btc at the right time?
PierreCPA: mircea_popescu reasonable approach. It does remove the BS parts of GAAP, but it also does not address complex issues like consolidation of partially owned subsidiaries, revenue recognition for installment contracts, etc...
mircea_popescu: PierreCPA yeah.
PierreCPA: I started working on a similar project ( http://bitcoinadvisory.org/index.html ) but had to get a real job to pay the bills
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.537267 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: hopefully more of that stuff can go in as more of your profession start being available for the corps to do the stuff.
mircea_popescu: i think tho the consolidation of subsidiaries can be done easily by a) disalowing unlisted subsidiaries and b) mark to market.
PierreCPA: Yes, it's happening, we just need demand from clients before doing anything really
mircea_popescu: you need to be in the wot and have a reputation before you'll get demand from any clients
mircea_popescu: and the actual clients, of course, but that's slowly coming into place.
mircea_popescu: benkay yea.
PierreCPA: agreed, problem is there can be no overlap between accountants serving large companies (and these are generally the high quality accountants), and accountants serving Bitcoin non-SEC listed companies, due to liability
PierreCPA: so that firewall slows things down
mircea_popescu: i guess it does.
PierreCPA: so the demand has to come from "compliant" mainstream companies wanting to get in the game
mircea_popescu: with the mention that those WERE the good accountants. they won't be, in a decade or two.
mircea_popescu: nah, non-compliant corps will crush the entire system, from sec down to all corps and their subcontractors.
benkay: far better to save up some cash and be the premiere btc accountant.
PierreCPA: Perhaps, though I think we'll call them "accounting system developers", accounting will be done entirely 100% by computers
mircea_popescu: perhaps.
benkay: disconnect from the doomed fiat systems.
jurov: Jere_Jones use this as escrow: bitbet.us/bet/751/mtgox-out-of-business-in-2014/?ref=1EteoRKNYbNhhmFfsKnUSWRF3JUpKCcMnc
PierreCPA: what's a good metric for seeing the size of non-compliant corps? i.e. is their someone summing the mkt caps?
mircea_popescu: about a million btc giver or take atm

Namworld: From +20 to -5
truffles: this time tomorrow is better?
nubbins`: schedules collide

mike_c: good article benkay. it's crazy (but not surprising) that havelock is messing around with the ipo structure.

mircea_popescu: so i bought these slightly smoked plums
mircea_popescu: omfg they're great
mircea_popescu: im reduced to one hand typing
Mats_cd03: I'll smoke your plums
mircea_popescu: this is the future of social media : tastegram
jurov: Mats_cd03 don't forget, you promised me some rimming first
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Then someone sends tastegrams which seem to be almonds, but are actually cyanide
mircea_popescu: i guess it'd have to be implemented electronically rather than chemically.
mircea_popescu: no future for 3d printing in this.
mircea_popescu: incidentally... 3d molecularbiologizing... get cartridges of all the elements, print any substance.
jurov: there are iirc 5 basic smells that can be mixed like colors
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: too late... Instagram _is_ tastegram
BingoBoingo: I didn't think there was much future for 3D printing beyond industries frequently needing bespoke and one-off construction
jurov: no need to 3d print molecules
mircea_popescu: that could potentially be everything tho
mircea_popescu: all the car buyers want to be... unique.
mircea_popescu: "you wouldn't download a car" ? oyestheywould.
mircea_popescu: jurov no way. i can detect more scents than colors.
jurov: yes, cuz there are much more combinations of 5 basic smells than 3 primary colors
mircea_popescu: i can actually distinguish mercaptane from ethilthiol
mircea_popescu: what the heck do you mix to go from one to the other ?
jurov: dunno. my mother explained to me mixing smells is basic physiology exercise for med students
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 2 @ 0.54729999 = 1.0946 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: fun fact : mercaptane actually is a natural byproduct of asparagus digestion in mammals. for a long time people imagined the ability to excrete it in urine is genetically dependent, as apparently not all people did it.
mircea_popescu: then it turned out that in fact yes all people do it, but the ability to SMELL it is the genetic trait
mircea_popescu: as not all people can smell it.

nubbins`: mircea_popescu, when you say standardized, you mean the format of the announcement posts?
mircea_popescu: but not just
nubbins`: sure
mircea_popescu: the reality underneath. who said they must have "faucets" ?
mircea_popescu: what IS a faucet ?
nubbins`: you used to find the same thing in group buy threads too
mircea_popescu: why pools ? why x y z
mircea_popescu: if you look at it unbiased it's shockingly organised, and arbitrarily so
nubbins`: really it just boils down to people doing copypasta because they can't be fucked to figure out how to structure a post
mircea_popescu: the fucking threads spell Schelling like a poem
nubbins`: in their defense, why reinvent the wheel?
nubbins`: anyway, you'd suppose the rest has some sort of purpose
mircea_popescu: indeed. i was not presuming to argue, merely observe.
nubbins`: e.g. if there's no faucet, nobody but a couple miners are gonna bother to play with it
nubbins`: sure
mircea_popescu: no argument it has purpose, but the structure and therefore the convention and meaning imo far exceeds the purpose
nubbins`: there's a purpose? ;p
mircea_popescu: well obviously.

nubbins`: i stepped into the altcoin announcement sub the other day. had to go back like six fuckin pages to see a thread that wasn't last updated "Today"!
nubbins`: alts are like cabbage patch kids
mircea_popescu: definitely.
mircea_popescu: and those are a linguistic artefact.
mircea_popescu: which is why i don't argue, it'd be like insisting "barracks" should be spelled "kaserne"
nubbins`: oo, canadian snowboarder just smacked his tailbone
nubbins`: "i can't even explain how difficult these tricks are" says the cbc announcer
nubbins`: OK COOL MAN DON'T EVEN TRY
mircea_popescu: he's just the announcer.
