dexX7: okay.. there are 400k am shares, so to make 0.6 btc per share you'd need 240000 btc in total
dexX7: over one year there can be 1314000 btc mined
mircea_popescu: oh oh i see
mircea_popescu: i thought you were somehow calcing the chips roi
mircea_popescu: VanCleef the 18% is of the total hashes hashed by the network over your arbitrary interval
mircea_popescu: not necessarily of the hashpower.
dexX7: about the chips: "Rated Hashrate: 12.8GHash/s per chip" + "Power Consumption: 0.2J/GHash low voltage, 0.35J/GHash rated voltage" + "0.49$/G-0.99$/G, depending on order size and delivery speed of choice."

ninjashogun: However, I will say one thing. At a macro level there is no FDIC, nor bailout.
BingoBoingo: Well, can any platform that does such a thing be taken seriously?
ninjashogun: I'll explain.
ninjashogun: The reason is that actions are judged on the basis of their consequences.
ninjashogun: Now it should have been practicing PROPER opsec.
ninjashogun: It should NOT have had coins stolen.
ninjashogun: But let's say it did.
ninjashogun: What should it do now?
Apocalyptic: ninjashogun, you're not making any sense
ninjashogun: It could have done something even stronger: "We will now be fractional-reserve, the way all banks in the United States have operated for 100 years. We will not hold as many bitcoins physically as are in our accounts - nor make up the deficit."
ninjashogun: (as are in YOUR accounts, I mean)
ninjashogun: But it didn't say that:
Apocalyptic: but they can't even satisfy withdrawals now
Apocalyptic: that's why they are locking the balances, they've been operating fractional for years
Apocalyptic: ninjashogun, are you not reading the statement ?
ninjashogun: It said "We will get back to 100% reserve bank, owning as many bitcoins physically as people have on account. To get back up to that level we will take the profit from our operations and use it to build up the fractional level."
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: They never had a profit
ninjashogun: Apocalyptic, according to that statement, ALL people will be paid back eventually.
ninjashogun: I understand this.
Apocalyptic: yeah yeah...
BingoBoingo: In spite of raising 3000 some BTC in an "IPO"
ninjashogun: I know.
Apocalyptic: if you trust the statement
ninjashogun: how many btc are they reporting stolen
benkay: lol "all people will be paid back"
Apocalyptic: you believe it too benkay don't you ?
ninjashogun: wait, we can judge whether this has any chance of being true
benkay: man if i had a btc for every time i've read that
benkay: i judge stochastically these days ninjashogun
BingoBoingo: ninja they have been a known shit heap since roughly February 2012
ninjashogun: they raised 3000 btc in an IPO. That means that is free cash for them - they sold equity?
benkay: 99% likelihood nobody gets paid back.
ninjashogun: I understand that.
ninjashogun: But if they shut down, that 99% becomes 100%.
benkay: ...
benkay: yes.
benkay: that is very true.
BingoBoingo: They got hacked, "IPO'd", got hacked again, started paying interest on deposits, and now this.
ninjashogun: Let me make an analogy. (I might have the facts totally wrong). IN the seventies or eighties (no real idea on the decade, I'm guessing) the U.S. found that some third-world country had either stolen some of the mint's machinery, or gotten their hands on perfect reproductions. It could make undetectable counterfeit dollar bills.
ninjashogun: What did they do - did they shut down all of the then-current series?
benkay: eyo mo
ninjashogun: No. They just let the counterfeiters print at the limiting capacity of those presses, taking the hit on the total money supply.
ninjashogun: That is probably a better outcome than if they had "abandoned the dollar" due to its dilution by fake dollars.
moiety: mew :)
benkay: what do you think mo: is a scam a scam?
ninjashogun: Likewise, if a currency does get hacked, it is probably better to become fractional-reserve, or freeze accounts, or play other shenanigans, than just say, "Well we're gone now, bye, and thanks"
moiety: benkay: not if its called a ponzi
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: This isn't a currency getting hacked.
benkay: ba-dum-tsh
ninjashogun: CheckDavid says (we're on skype) he doesn't get my point
BingoBoingo: This is a business admitting its business model is incompatible with reality and failing to take the last necessary action.
ninjashogun: My point is just that from among the alternatives, shutting down the exchange is guaranteed to have the worst possible outcome for lenders/creditors. (people who put thehir bitcoins or usd in.)
Mats_cd03: sure if you are the operator and you are honest then yes that is how it proceeds
moiety: do you think kakobrekla can make an ignore that works on the logs too?

Mats_cd03: do you expect depositors to behave like their risk profile didnt just go up?
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: I mean the thing they need to do is stop, and the time for them to have done so was last winter
benkay: i want an ignore that works on anyone who's unrated by people i've rated
Mats_cd03: write a script for your client
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, no, but I think that you will find in looking at Fiat that the fact that the money supply is unilaterally increased by letting banks put more into circulation than existed - and that the rate of this is a total unknown - does not deter people from using and holding USD.
moiety: but that would mean me too for now
ninjashogun: (More specificlaly, it does deter people from holding USD, but not entirely.)
benkay: ah, rats.
moiety: i will change this though
benkay: yes plz do
benkay: maybe nag nano to let you auth with doge or something ;)
benkay: that's the really silly thing about not getting in the wot
benkay: it only takes a btc addy
Mats_cd03: nobody cares about the size of the bitcoin money supply
Mats_cd03: what are you trying to say
moiety: i would quite like my wot untainted :P
moiety: we did make bitcoinmagazine in other news
benkay: untainted by what?!
moiety: doge lol
gribble: such auth, very doge
moiety: gribble!!!
benkay: ;;gribble
gribble: yes I am gribble. why do you keep bothering me?
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, well what is the PRIMARY issue with putting your bitcoin in a site that is currently freezing someone else's bitcoins? Look at that and you will see, some people may still put some of their bitocins in.
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, would anyone ever put their bitcoins onto a site that is currently freezing somebody else's bitcoins - and they know this?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 7 @ 0.64797672 = 4.5358 BTC [+] {3}
moiety: Did Izzy ever re-appear? sorry i wasn't around
benkay: ;;seen Izzy_
gribble: Izzy_ was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 days, 16 hours, 49 minutes, and 50 seconds ago: <Izzy_> ok
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, we know for a fact that with real currencies the answer is "yes". We know because people used paypal when paypal froze merchant's accounts and ruined their businesses. We know because people use US Banks when US Banks freeze people's accounts while they're under investigatoin. etc.
benkay: difference there being 0.01% get fucked vs. 100% get fucked in this situation.
benkay: .bait
Duffer1: ninjashogun cryptostocks continued operation is a gross violation of common sense, morality, and probably most jurisdiction's laws
benkay: cute.
moiety: i like this one
benkay: cryptostocks continued operation is a gross violation of thermodynamics.
benkay: vircurex too.
Mats_cd03: thighs
BingoBoingo: benkay: I don't think it is proper to separate the shenanigans of the two
Mats_cd03: nobody cares about the continued operation per se; its the continued damage to the reputation of legitimate operators within the ecosystem
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 70 @ 0.00630873 = 0.4416 BTC [-] {2}
Duffer1: that and the certain damage to future unwary participants in the exchange
Mats_cd03: besides which, there is no incentive for new customers in lieu of a new risk profile
benkay: fuck 'em all, let everyone drown.
benkay: it's a rotten ship and they're all rats.
Mats_cd03: paypal and usg having a number of such incentives that enable them to operate like thugs
benkay: Mats_cd03: tack another three order of magnitude on for thuggery.
Mats_cd03: also, something about conflating deposits in a exchange with actual currency...
Mats_cd03: reconsidering whether or not im being trolled tbqh
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, you're not being trolled
ninjashogun: It's interesting though that the exchanges are behaving as the early unregulated banks did. Complete with bank runs :) (According to the quoted Vircurex text - "https://vircurex.com/welcome/ann_reserved.html")
ninjashogun: "We had enough coin balances in our cold wallet to upkeep our platform and the positive cashflow enabled us to gradually refill the wallets.
ninjashogun: Unfortunately we had large fund withdrawals in the last weeks which have lead to a complete depletion of our cold wallet balance and we are now facing the option of either closing the site with significant unrecoverable losses for all or to work out a solution that allows the exchange to continue to operate and gradually pay back the losses. "
ninjashogun: I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime :) :) :)
moiety: what the absolute fuck
ninjashogun: moiety, you know the history of banks in the United States (and elswhere) right
moiety: ninjashogun: why yes, only yesterday i learned the voice of siri was the voice for the very first atm (tillie the teller i believe) << such history
blackwhite: someone would make a killing setting up a 24/7 security company watching over those online wallets
moiety: sigh* why do you ask ninjashogun
blackwhite: how the fuck can their security be so bad? Or is it just the hackers who are that good?
moiety: or hidden answer c. scamming fucks
TestingUnoDosTre: never knew that about tillie the teller, thanks moiety
BingoBoingo: blackwhite: Vircurex was hacked way back during Winter 2012-Spring 2013
TestingUnoDosTre: quick poll here: How long does it take for all of you to type "We were hacked for XX,XXX BTC."
moiety: TestingUnoDosTre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6boqUfzUD8 here she is explaining
BingoBoingo: blackwhite: In their case the culprit seemed to be Ruby on Rails
cazalla: people actually use siri?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 10 @ 0.055035 = 0.5504 BTC [-] {3}
TestingUnoDosTre: People are ridiculous, no?
kakobrekla: <blackwhite> someone would make a killing setting up a 24/7 security company watching over those online wallets < - is this opening asciis parachute after you have hit the ground?
blackwhite: sorry not sure I understand?
blackwhite: humor and irony is lost on me
Apocalyptic: kako : sounds like it
Apocalyptic: blackwhite, when you notice the theft it's already too late
blackwhite: yeah sure. But I am pretty sure one of the problems is that they are not looking and monitoring all the time
blackwhite: so I am saying setup a company who look for suspicius deals or have a whitelist of larger transactions. (i.e. tell this company when you are going to make larger transactions)
radan: can I wager money on mpoe
radan: or mpex
Apocalyptic: "have a whitelist of larger transactions." what ?
Apocalyptic: i'm not sure you get how it works
Apocalyptic: and what prevents the theif from withdrawing a lot in small amounts ,
radan: what does "trades above 0.001 BTC " mean
mircea_popescu: what's new
Mats_cd03: per share
radan: so like
radan: btc instead of dollars
ninjashogun: radan ye
ninjashogun: btc is a currency
ninjashogun: like the way ice cream can cost $0.75 for example, it could cost a certain amount of BTC 0.001 or whatever
radan: right
radan: so mpoe's had an ipo
radan: and people are buying stock in it
ninjashogun: exactly
radan: wow
gribble: I don't recognize you.
mircea_popescu: that was in... 2012 ?
radan: the future is now
TestingUnoDosTre: no, the future was 2012
blackwhite: Apocalyptic i get how it works and nothing prevents them from removing a lot of small amount other than that kind of consitution the same as a large amount. If they have to do it over a month then I would most probably know.
blackwhite: constituting even
radan: why don't banks do this
TestingUnoDosTre: ;;whois radan
gribble: Error: You don't have the network.whois capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified.
blackwhite: anyway just thinking out loud here.
radan: besides that they probably have tons of cash to play around with in usd
TestingUnoDosTre: do the mods at bitbet work certain hours of the day, or are they more like round clock rotation type
mircea_popescu: sorta round the clock.
radan: wow
radan: someone bet 600,000 that bitcoin will beat berkshire hathaway
radan: maybe they know something we don't
TestingUnoDosTre: it's called bitcoin
copumpkin: radan: the someone was the last message before you said that
MisterE: Finally someone is making a derivatives market!
MisterE: I hope this is the stability we've been looking for
radan: oh, cool
moiety: i sent someone to bitbet today. i linked them and they still searched google and tried .com. conclusion: some people can't be helped.
radan: maybe I should bet .1 btc on that bet
mircea_popescu: moiety you ever hook up with that izzy chick ?
radan: if I win, then I get 2.8 bitcoin
MisterE: my first time to bitbet I hit .com too
moiety: doesn't look like she has everre-appeared
moiety: i did think on emailing her, but .. life.
radan: but my whole life savings is in btc
radan: if I lose .1 btc I'd be down 60 actual dollars
radan: hmm
mircea_popescu: MisterE you know we had a derivatives market for about two years, and yes it did bring plenty of stability heh
mircea_popescu contemplates being butthurt
radan: I guess it's a better investment than keeping in my wallet doing nothing
radan: alright, I'll do it
mircea_popescu: bets aren't really investments, they're gambling
moiety: ;; later tell Izzy_ Do you still need help?
gribble: The operation succeeded.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu did you ever trade debt?
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, or even default swaps for example?
radan: how do I bet on bitbet
radan: wait nvm
radan: there's a faq
MisterE: please retype the internet into IRC for me :p
MisterE: what do you mean mircea_popescu ?
TestingUnoDosTre: I wish you could trade default swaps on bitcoin companies... like virtuex
Apocalyptic: that would be nice indeed
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: do you know about Master coin ?
ninjashogun: so here's a genuine question.
duduqa: Have you ever considered creating an alt-channel #bitcoin-assets-stupid for beginners, people with learning disabilities etc like myself?
mircea_popescu: this is it.
CheckDavid: Any short comments on it mircea_popescu ?
CheckDavid: Loool
ninjashogun: given that there's no due dilligence that can be done. no contracts that can be enforced. no sec. no proof you're not getting scammed. and every listing on crypto stocks is a scam. and the OPERATOR is a scammer. ......... how is anyone investing? How is the market 'clearing' (bid meets ask)
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid it doesn't do much.
CheckDavid: Oh I see
ninjashogun: duduqa, come to #bitcoin-assets-stupid
ninjashogun: I am OP I will give you voice.
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre yeah, because the counterparties would be solvent, in that paralel universe where idiots have infinite bitcoins
mircea_popescu: to go with their infinite hitpoints
CheckDavid: You mean doesn't do much yet. Or it won't do much of anything in the near future?
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid what do you expect it to do ?
CheckDavid: Issue stocks for example
mircea_popescu: nubbins` maybe he meant unexpectedly keel over.
CheckDavid: Distribute dividends
TestingUnoDosTre: you could sell them in neat little batches with different risk profiles... it would be a paradise
ninjashogun: CheckDavid, come to #bitcoins-assets-stupid with me and duduqa
CheckDavid: Exchange currencies without risk of scam at the trade level
CheckDavid: ninjashogun: go sleep
radan: is multibit secure?
ninjashogun: lol ok
mircea_popescu: radan more or less
ninjashogun: wait I do want an answer to my question above on why anyone would invest in crypto stocks - don't people with money to invest have standards?
ninjashogun: given that there's no due dilligence that can be done. no contracts that can be enforced. no sec. no proof you're not getting scammed. and every listing on crypto stocks is a scam. and the OPERATOR is a scammer. ......... how is anyone investing?
radan: awesome
mircea_popescu: no major issues so far afaik
moiety: you just listed reasons why you haven't found investment yourself there ninjashogun
BingoBoingo: radan: I prefer 0.5.11 to newer multibit releases
kakobrekla: they are not all scam, just most.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin decentral accelerate ? srsly ?
mircea_popescu: "the world's first" of course.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck thought someone wants a mentor they've never met.
mircea_popescu: jesus im too old for online
ninjashogun: moiety- I have not listed on any crypto stock site.
moiety: thats not what i meant
ninjashogun: moeity - I was kind of invited by someone - not sure if he's a scammer. (that means he probably is.)
ninjashogun: fyrstikken was the person
ninjashogun: Do you guys know what he's doing?
moiety: lovely for you ninjashogun, invited where? make sure he sees you home like a gentleman
MisterE: MP: I see that monthly statement, bummer month, but anyways what am I missing about a derivatives connection? the bonds market?
radan: this feels pretty momentous
mircea_popescu: options are derivatives in my book
mircea_popescu: not in yours ?
ninjashogun: invited to list on his site
ninjashogun: forget the link - it has fyrstikken in it
ninjashogun: I mean, I forget the name of the link, but it has the term "fyrstikken" in it.
ninjashogun: it's a crypto stock link.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah, everyone's trying to pass off bucket shop bullshit for "derivatives"
mircea_popescu: non deliverable = scam. period.
radan: wait a second
radan: is bitbet legal
MisterE: yea they are but a robust derivatives market is more than options
mircea_popescu: MisterE well x.eur is a future. x.idiff are futures
ninjashogun: and I was introduced to him explicitly by someone.
MisterE: I dont think I'm understanding everything I'm reading there
asciilifeform: today's lulz:
ninjashogun: Do any of you know that site?
ThickAsThieves: undeliverable isnt the same as non-deliverable
mircea_popescu: the various stocks either don't have enough volume or, for the non-mpex crowd, arten't actually stocks, don't even publish statements etc
ninjashogun: hi, asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: cfds are a long way away
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves what difference do yo uhave in mind there ?
ThickAsThieves: referring to diff futures etc not being the same as USD btc options
mircea_popescu: diff futures are a pain in the butt
mircea_popescu: but from what i've seen these people were trying to sell icbit-style "futures" on the usd
ThickAsThieves: but one of the futures i know
mircea_popescu: was the wsj story about diff futures ?
ThickAsThieves: love me some diff bets
ThickAsThieves: i dont think so at least
ThickAsThieves: there were a few today i didnt read em all
ozbot: Online casino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ThickAsThieves: i assumed it was all the same news
radan: it's alright
TestingUnoDosTre: asciilifeform that is some top secret shit right there 1!!
radan: unless you live in nevada you can probably use it, I gather
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd really love to see the chinese files on nato
MisterE: ThickAsThieves: you're talking abotu Tera?
ThickAsThieves: "The first way is as follows, since 80% of the Icelandic population is on Facebook, Icelandic citizens will be able to claim their coins simply by logging into Facebook through a gateway."
ThickAsThieves: MisterE i dunno
ThickAsThieves: i mostly forgot about it after i read it
ThickAsThieves: i cant respect a btc derivative that doesnt touch btc
ThickAsThieves: too dirty
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell MykelSIlver it makes relatively little difference what software bitbet.us runs, as webserver doesn't really hold coins anywya
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i was actually contemplating just copy pasting the output of current wp in a html file << notrly such a bad idea.
ThickAsThieves: it makes a difference if the site can be compromised and depsot addressed get mitm'd
ThickAsThieves: deposit*
mircea_popescu: well it doesn't run wordpress afaik, but that's no absolute guarantee.
ThickAsThieves: wordpress loving to be compromised n all
mircea_popescu: concerned parties are advised to send some dust first, that'll verify the address and lock it down

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay that salt stuff sounds like unintended malleability.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
MisterE: pretty much everyone I know gets hacked for the first time using WordPress
ThickAsThieves: is there a year-long auroracoin bet yet?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo cou, being, of course, ass. in french. so contempt of cou...
radan: damn, iceland's pretty smart
radan: this is like giving every man a farm so he can work productively
ThickAsThieves: iceland has no part in it radan
MisterE: yea I wanted to move to Iceland for long time now
ThickAsThieves: it's just some guy sending coins to people
ThickAsThieves: an idea of a thing
mircea_popescu: ~worthless~ coins to peoplke.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, of all of the things to have drawn contempt from, asses might not be that bad
radan: I don't think you can, MisterE
radan: Iceland's pretty tight on immigration unless you're rich or a refugee
MisterE: yea not unless you're Scandanavian resident already
MisterE: thats what I found
radan: I presume you want to go there because they have a stable society
moiety: i like to top comment re judge judy BingoBoingo
ThickAsThieves: go to switzerland
ThickAsThieves: or canada
ThickAsThieves: pretty stable places
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 35 @ 0.00299999 = 0.105 BTC [+]
radan: but consider that the reason for this is that everyone shares significant ethnic and cultural bonds you are not privy to
MisterE: canada is lost
MisterE: and Iceland is on the same track so in retrospect I'm glad I stayed put
asciilifeform: mark twain's theorem. 'don't join the club that would let you in.'
mircea_popescu: whos judge brown anyway
TestingUnoDosTre: If anyone finds a version of that bitcoin swaps article that contains comments about the winklevoss brothers, please send it to me. I read it earlier today and broke out laughing, but I can't find it now :(
bones`: My hometown shining star of Reality TV, mircea_popescu
ThickAsThieves: a tv judge?
ThickAsThieves: like Montel meets Judge Judy
bones`: He just gets loud and says catchphrases
ThickAsThieves: he looks way cooler with that handlebar stache
bones`: He looks like 5 miles of bad road if you ask me
radan: alright
radan: I did it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: He was one of those daytime shows that keep those with nothing to do during the day sated in between ration tickets.
TestingUnoDosTre: apparently, he was an actual criminal judge for a county back in the day
bones`: Ya my county. :(
mircea_popescu: deadweasel finance couldn't be abandoned, i dont think. merely reduced to it's bare bones.
TestingUnoDosTre: I would rather my county have a pompous tv personality judge than a real hard ass judge
radan: hopefully I won't need to eat those 60 bucks anytime soon
mircea_popescu: currently there's one valuable person per bank office : the credits officer. he's the guy that makes the call if lending is a good idea.
mircea_popescu: everyone else just pushes paper, does forms and bs. that could be done away with
BingoBoingo: Joe Brown is one of those cases of if you stare too deep into the ghetto, you eventually become ghetto
mircea_popescu: cut 99.5% of the workforce woreking in a bank, increase salaries for the remainder 10 to 100x
mircea_popescu: more inequality, better service.
ThickAsThieves: no one goes to banks anymore anyway
mircea_popescu: i do actually.
radan: consider that the purpose of a business (from a societal, not individual viewpoint) is to keep as many people as busy as possible
ThickAsThieves: well me too
ThickAsThieves: i read an article today that says like 30% down or something
radan: that's one of the metrics the government likes to use
mircea_popescu: well prolly.
ozbot: More Than 30% Of Americans Haven't Visited A Bank In The Last Six Months
mircea_popescu: radan government can stand on its head. businessmen decide what business is.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves that may be because they're broke.
radan: in a perfect world, yea
mircea_popescu: ;;later peterl it's not changed since last year.
gribble: Error: The "Later" plugin is loaded, but there is no command named "peterl" in it. Try "list Later" to see the commands in the "Later" plugin.

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell peterl it's not changed since last year.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
radan: but governments tend to monopolize force
asciilifeform: most banks let you deposit cheques by photocopy now
ThickAsThieves: also cuz everyone uses credit cards
MisterE: lending officers rarely are located in branches anymore
radan: and use it like a club to beat on anyone who's not following their "recommendations"
MisterE: they mostly rely on computer algorithms and usually give the go ahead from some corporate HQ
moiety: i'm only ever in my bank when i need to shout at them for fucking something up
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long before that berkshire bet collects 1k on no side
ThickAsThieves: i'm quite happy the Yes bets are so little
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 20889 @ 0.00095455 = 19.9396 BTC [+] {2}
radan: waaaait
mircea_popescu: so little ? it's huge
ThickAsThieves: since yours
radan: I thought betting yes would return 28x
radan: it only returns 1x and some change?
ThickAsThieves: so few, i shouldve said
mircea_popescu: radan you were probably looking at no
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9088 @ 0.00095652 = 8.6929 BTC [+] {3}
radan: :/
radan: trolled by my own reading comprehension
ThickAsThieves: yeah i read a bet like 4 or 5 times before sending
ThickAsThieves: it's amazing how twist a yes or no bet can be
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
mircea_popescu: a good policy is perhaps to never bet the day you discover a bet
ThickAsThieves: I have a celendar reminder to review bitbet every 3 days
radan: maybe I'll invest the same amount in the other direction to cancel it out
mircea_popescu: you don't need the same ammt, read the article about how to cancel
duduqa: Colombia to "ban" bitcoin
mircea_popescu: duduqa i had no idea colombia actually can ban things. didn't they fail with cocaine ?
MisterE: radan: you're the kind of man they give free trips to Vegas to :p
duduqa: mircea_popescu: I said "ban" exactly because of that
MisterE: betting both sides, the house loves you :)
mircea_popescu: MisterE no actually, betting both sides is the way to play.
mircea_popescu: this is mutual not bs.
ThickAsThieves: i bet both sides of the berkshire bet
ThickAsThieves: how could you not
MisterE: what?
MisterE: you have a fee so you're always out then
ozbot: BitBet - May I suggest 9B difficulty?
mircea_popescu: this is actually not so far off
mircea_popescu: MisterE you don't understand the weight
MisterE: oh there's odds?
mircea_popescu: there's weight and implicit odds
MisterE: thats understandable then
mircea_popescu: you can shave plenty just by watching the bets.
MisterE: hmmm
mircea_popescu: perfectly legit way to make cash. liquidity providing, as it were.
MisterE: I'm afraid to look into it another time sink!
mircea_popescu: yeah this isn't for amateurs. raw power, so it requires solid understanding of what's going on.
MisterE: the more I hear you guys chatter about it the more likely will though heh
benkay: i still don't actually understand how to actually play parimutuel odds
MisterE: I do remember briefly reading the site and what exactly a yes or no could mean was very difficult to determine sometimes
MisterE: even with the outcome explaination
MisterE: explanation*
radan: okay
radan: .1 on yes
moiety: way more fun to learn than say fucking javascript
radan: .05 on no
MisterE: benkay: I understand that as the first few people who are in share the winnings
radan: then I win either way
radan: god, this is awesome
radan: it's like a license to print money
benkay: moiety it can't be that hard to learn to say fucking javascript
benkay: pretty sure that's the first thing i learned when i started working with javascript as a matter of fact.
benkay: "fucking javascript"
MisterE: hah
moiety: not hard, just tedious benkay . i think i have the fucking javascript up part totally down
benkay: javascript and python feel like guns that just want to point at my feet
benkay: i'm out here trying to kill some bison to feed my people and my damn gun just won't stop pointing at my foot
mircea_popescu: radan lol enjoy.
moiety: python can just go slither away until i have a dev chained to a raditor somewhere
duduqa: gotta go, folks, have a goof day/night
moiety: radiator*
duduqa: good
radan: wait
radan: let's say the payout for yes on a given bet is 1.5
radan: and no's is, say, 20
radan: what stops you from betting 1 on yes
radan: and .5 on 20
radan: then you either make back what you made or win 10 btc
radan: *what you spent
benkay: radan: you've discovered hedging.
mircea_popescu: so now i'm getting spam from mastercoin.org
mircea_popescu: i guess that's what killfiles are for, but srsly...
moiety: did anjiecast ever come in?
moiety: what name? how did i miss that :/
mircea_popescu: princessnell
radan: actually, that's not possible on any of the bets up right now
radan: nvm
benkay: i scared her off, moiety
moiety: ah, lol i did see that :P
radan: unless the bet payouts increase in either direction
radan: that can't happen tho
Mats_cd03: you don't have to type every thought that comes into your head
moiety: it is a big channel, it was perhaps just all the eyes
radan: if some newbie reads the log and thinks he can print money based on what I said 10 mins ago, I'd like to help him out by telling him it's impossible
mircea_popescu: o, some noobie ?

kakobrekla: thats why its grayed out
mike_c: everybody is going to get in on that proposed NBA finals bet as soon as it's approved.
mike_c: new ATH bitbet
MisterE: so you have to shore up your bets as it comes close to closing time for them
TestingUnoDosTre: like drop some more BTC on your same bet? what do you mean by shore up
radan: what stops people from arming militants or buying drugs with btc
radan: besides the low daily convertible volume
Mats_cd03: why should anything stop people from those things
TestingUnoDosTre: because the phrase BTC was injected, duh
radan: so either they do happen
moiety: who says it is stopped radan?
radan: or the kind of people who do that kind of stuff don't know about bitcoin
radan: hmm
moiety: fed bought abrin off a teenager with btc
moiety: a toxin like ricin
TestingUnoDosTre: oh nevermind, read that article
TestingUnoDosTre: some kids are just... stupid
moiety: point is they can be stupid using fiat or btc, it's not the issue
the20year: How goes it?
MisterE: substitue "cash" for BTC
MisterE: same saem
MisterE: people buy drugs not BTC
radan: bitcoin should start accepting bitcoin
radan: *al qaeda
radan: or maybe they already do
radan: but only the saudis know what address they use :/

mike_c: the20year: how's business? any new houses?
moiety: has anyone here used Subversion?
mike_c: probably lots (including me)
Apocalyptic: you should rather use git
moiety: its specifically for giving remote ssh access to one domain only rather than the whole hosting account. i can use git for that?
moiety: oh ofc nvm
moiety: whats wrong with subversion?
mike_c: nothing. just centralized vs. decentralized git/mercurial.
Apocalyptic: mike_c, also the fact that svn handles branches awfully
mike_c: well, mercurial can't do shallow clones.
mike_c: so there! :)
MisterE: git > svn
the20year: mike_c: i'm not sure where hte last update was here. We have 6 total properties either purchased or in contract. closed on #4 today, supposed to close on #5 any day now. #6 closes the 7th of next month
mike_c: planning on more purchases?
moiety: i thought i always wanted decentralized on everything?
mike_c: i think you can build source control into an altcoin.
the20year: Yeah, definately. really would like to do a flip here soon but i don't have a any good candidates for that right now. Got a few duplexes I'm looking at, one is $27k the other is $39.9k
mike_c: the20year: and congrats on 6. the ipo was helpful then?
mike_c: wow, duplex for 27.
Apocalyptic: the20year, where are you buying these flats ?
the20year: Central Ohio
the20year: Yes, very helpful , we've got a few great announcements coming up. Still have 100ish BTC left in reserves for another property
the20year: One of the candidates we barely miss was just re-listed. They bought it for $52k, I imagine put $10k or less in it and have it on the market for $119k
mike_c: i'll take the duplex for 27.
the20year: I have to take a look at it, we might be able to get it for $20k or so. they bought it in 2006 and managed it quite poorly. tenant burnt down a garage and they gave it up
the20year: Well , gave up on being a landlord
KRS-One: why
mike_c: having your garage burnt down could do that :)
the20year: I'm gonna bet they didn't carry insurance
the20year: We on the otherhand carry half a million dollars on each property, and then are applying for a $2m-$3m blanket for the company itself
benkay: !t h rent

the20year: Well , it's half a mill per occupant, then premises of no less than 80%. best thing on earth would be for a house to be burnt to the ground without anyone hurt :D it's amazing to me how much they insure our properties for
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
the20year: The property we just bought for $70k has a rebuild value of something like $275k
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves check it out, this dood would like to make a bet provided mpoe-pr doesn't pay for it in bitcoin and she agrees that no bet can be made.
mircea_popescu: these people.
benkay: interesting how RENT performs as it converts its BTC-denominated assets to USD-denominated assets.
the20year: and thankfully over all this volatility we've cashed out at higher BTC:USD values
rithm: bets on tops of bets!?!?!
nubbins`: just finished watching Contact
benkay: mircea_popescu: link?
nubbins`: not bad
mircea_popescu: bets of bets of beets

the20year: i thought they began mobilization last week
MisterE: what will Romania do if fighting breaks out in the Ukraine with Crimea?
mircea_popescu: probably nothing
MisterE: I guess nobody will do nothing without EU / nato
mircea_popescu: romania doesn't give a shit, as a general policy
Apocalyptic: inb4 Russian army in timisoara
the20year: invade moldova?
the20year: poland has 500k+ in reserve, mobilizing 7k for practice doesn't seem too huge to me
mircea_popescu: there's a us base in constanta, which i guess the us will have to defend
mircea_popescu: and the russians probably don't want to get aywya
mircea_popescu: and i very much doubt romania cxan be bothered ot invade either moldova or cernauti
