mike_c: ping jurov
mike_c: have you ever thought about adding the ability to short mpex stocks to coinbr? seems like it would be a great service for you as a brokerage.
mike_c: let people lend shares at an interest rate, and let others borrow (with btc collateral) to short.
thestringpuller: mike_c dunno if there is enough volume for that
mike_c: it is grease for the wheels.
mike_c: like right now, s.bbet has a big bid/ask spread. but it can be tough to market-make a stock if you can't borrow shares to sell.
mike_c: and obviously there is plenty of s.mpoe volume
mike_c: and volatility
thestringpuller: volume was a bad word
thestringpuller: i dunno if there is enough inventory
thestringpuller: volume was completely the wrong word
mike_c: you're going to have to use more words :) I don't follow your concern.
thestringpuller: i don't know if the conglemorate of coinbr users have the inventory of stock necessary to lend.
mike_c: yes, but coinbr would now be offering interest on passive stock holdings. so perhaps it would pick up new types of customers.

mircea_popescu: ;;rated grubles
gribble: You have not yet rated user grubles
mircea_popescu: ;;rate grubles -1 Disingenuous at best. One of the large group of everyday nitwits that wandered into Bitcoin early on enough so as to end up with a much larger momentary fortune than their limited brainpower could support. After squandering it through the usual means, they prefer to pretend their funciar stupidity is someone else's fault.
gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating of -1 for user grubles has been recorded.
mircea_popescu: re the entire grubles/bitvps thing : the listing was discussed for a while, in a public channel. grubles was there, and not only represented himself in agreement, but represented rg as the owner of the thing.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the contract has a specific clause, 3(a)That no third party has offered verifiable proof as to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of the representations and warranties made herein and that no market makers, preferred traders and other significant investors of MPEx have publicly proffered doubt as to the accuracy or completeness of the representations and warranties made herein ;
mircea_popescu: he never availed himself of it, and that is exactly enough for constructive tacit agreement, just as good as if he swore to the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the guy didn't protest at any point while rg was still running the thing, nor did he stand up to take over once rg fucked it up.
mircea_popescu: there was about a month there while namworld was struggling to salvage the thing. which meanwhile i think died again or what is it these days ?
thestringpuller: oh look it's a popescu!
mircea_popescu: heya thestringpuller

thestringpuller: They are interesting! I think my 3D artist has some renders as an XMas present for you. Hopefully chetty can help us get it in the engine sometime Q1.
mircea_popescu: for sure!
thestringpuller: How is your vacation going?
mircea_popescu: pretty fun!
thestringpuller: warmer than the n hemisphere i hope ;)
thestringpuller: not that you'd need warmth with that harem of yours ;)
mircea_popescu: do you realise i've been pretty much here, and on -otc before that, almost every day for like three years straight ?
mircea_popescu: nuts if you say it outloud.
thestringpuller: Well you do have highest word count for good reasons!
thestringpuller: so I work for the marketing department here as a developer.
thestringpuller: in one of the meetings I almost went "marketing is rape"
thestringpuller: and was about to start quoting trilema
thestringpuller: haha! I have no idea why we spend so much on marketing. These designers are wasting their precious time.
mircea_popescu: well just don't get arrested over freedom of speech lol
joecool: heh return of rg to irc seems to be causing arguments in all the bitcoin-* channels
kakobrekla: but he doesnt own his key anymore?
joecool: kakobrekla: i thought that was just a rumor, for months everyone thought he sold his forum login too, yet he claims not since he came back to irc
mircea_popescu: joecool was a fact back then.
mircea_popescu: these things don't change over time i dun think.
joecool: no i wouldn't expect that to change over time if true

cornfeedhobo: indeed
cornfeedhobo: and cry about not getting it back. lol
mircea_popescu: jborkl: What was the rate, 7% per day? Or week << per week
mircea_popescu: but he had an insider deal where he paid the various captains of industry more so they got the idea to resell.
mircea_popescu: joecool when was this ?
joecool: mircea_popescu: about a year or so ago
mircea_popescu: after my time.
jborkl: sweet action, 7% per week... seems so realistic
thestringpuller: cornfeedhobo: danieldaniel is a weird kid.
mircea_popescu: at the time, bitcoin was a few dollars and basically nobody gave much of a shit.
thestringpuller: he's trustworthy tho, or at least was.
mircea_popescu: eventually people started caring and it got crushed into the dirt, but for a year or so all sorts of bugs got to dance on the tools an' pretend.
thestringpuller: I think he spends too much time in front of a computer and not enough time sleeping with girls.
jborkl: yeah, the weekend btcst went bust it dropped to $8
mircea_popescu: it was oscilating aroudn there, at some point prior the pirate muppet was "going to ruin the price" while it went from low 6s to 7s.
mircea_popescu: that was some lulzy log
mircea_popescu: i dun recall which chan it was in tho, some pricewatchers something
thestringpuller: man i miss those days

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well just don't get arrested over freedom of speech lol << speech isn't really a freedom at that point is it?
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people noticed the subtle change from freedom of speech to an alleged "right" of free speech.
mircea_popescu: the difference between rights and freedoms being essentially the difference between pearl necklaces and dog collars.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller not bad.
mircea_popescu: in any case : a freedom is something the people have, and the state can't take away. the rights are constructions that the state gives, and so the state can take away.
mircea_popescu: trading a freedom for a right is always a bad deal.
mircea_popescu: and it's what generally happens whenever a state claims to be "protecting rights". it's not protecting anything, it's stealing freedom and issuing in its place token "rights". which, much like its paper currency, are fiat worthlessness.

austeritysucks: paypal is horrible for digital goods though so it's a natural fit, just hard to get the community to adopt it
cazalla: yeah, get scammers offering to buy weapons using paypal all the time
cazalla: bitcoin is such a good fit for this
austeritysucks: im working on a btc/csgokey exchange
austeritysucks: since keys are used as the fixed currency to trade
cazalla: by cheaters and smurfs perhaps
austeritysucks: its just that keys are used in the trade window, so they're the best "currency" to be used in trading higher value items
cazalla: ah soz, i was thinking cd keys not key keys
austeritysucks: to avoid 15% steamtax
cazalla: i think maybe you will see more of bitcoin in that as time goes on
austeritysucks: yea so my idea was instead of recreating the steam community market for bitcoin, just narrowing down to the keys would be simple to implement
austeritysucks: so people could buy keys for below store price in BTC and safely cash out their inventory to real cash by selling items for keys and selling keys on exchange
cazalla: dunno why uptake is so slow by gamers, i'd have killed for something like this back in everquest
austeritysucks: yea a charge-back free payment system is natural, but you see the typical excuses from people who refuse to adapt
austeritysucks: unfortunately credit cards all have chargeback, and until people can acquire bitcoins with creditcards at point of sale to remove the buyer from the "confusion" of the payment mechanism
austeritysucks: then there is this learning curve that nobody wants to climb
cazalla: give it time, it'll come i think
austeritysucks: there needs to be a reverse-bitpay :P
austeritysucks: but because of how credit cards work its really impossible to do it
austeritysucks: which is exactly how the monopolists want it
cazalla: i'm sure there are some kids who during bored summer holidays will figure out how to get bitcoin and buy/sell habbo items and shit like that
cazalla: so credit card issue isn't really a big one or steam monopoly etc
austeritysucks: no its the visa/mastercard monopoly
austeritysucks: a btc exchange for csgo keys is definitely doable
austeritysucks: but so many people will avoid using it because they can't acquire btc without bank transfer etc
cazalla: i don't follow, how does that bother me if i already have bitcoin and i want to buy/sell butterfly knives?
punkman: austeritysucks: https://www.payza.com/ this lets you receive CC payments and withdraw BTC, don't know anyone that uses them though
assbot: Payza | Send Money, Receive Payment, Money Transfer, Shop & Sell Online ... ( http://bit.ly/1CxBX02 )
cazalla: pretty easy to purchase small amount of btc now austeritysucks
austeritysucks: cazalla, the majority of people prefer paypal over bitcoin in the community unfortuantely, so the big issue is getting people to adopt bitcoin, i was suggesting that an easy way to promote adoption is to get people to be removed from the btc payment mechanism and have a userfirendl front end that is like using CC, but behind the scenes iti s buying BTC, transferring BTC (and maybe even
austeritysucks: BTC->fiat again for the seller)
punkman: yeah Circle works in a lot of countries
austeritysucks: cazalla, not with the way most people make such payments (cc)
austeritysucks: the minute there is any place that allows for simple cc buy of btc you will have lots of stolen cc's using the service to get btc
punkman: Circle is that place
cazalla: but that is not the buyer's problem
cazalla: i don't really give two shits if circle gets carded to death, i can buy with my own cc in the meantime
austeritysucks: punkman, is it a secret place? i google circle btc and get nothing
austeritysucks: oh nevermind i typo'd sorry
punkman: they are kinda retarded
assbot: Circle Internet Financial | Bitcoin Wallet, Bitcoin Payments, Bitcoin Insurance ... ( http://bit.ly/1CxCIXc )
punkman: sends me 3 SMS every time I login/buy/withdraw
punkman: l33t security
austeritysucks: well ill look into it
austeritysucks: but for now i want to get the steam bot C# code working and then the front-end listings/btc purchase php stuff
austeritysucks: because i think if at least the key:btc exchange works with 1 steam bot then it will be easy to expand nad once expanded people will adopt BTC for the purpose of being able to cahs out to real money so drama-free
cazalla: maybe think a little further down the road and think of people wanting to cash out items to bitcoin instead of cash
cazalla: because that's is where that market will move anyway
austeritysucks: but i try my best to encourage people, set them up a hotwallet, shoot them $1 in btc or something ,and get their lips wet
austeritysucks: cazalla, yes that is what the focus is
austeritysucks: cazalla, and theres already many options for ppl to go btc to cash, that's not my concern.
austeritysucks: my concern was people going cash to BTC
austeritysucks: to use the exchange at all
cazalla: well, as punkman said, circle.. refer your customers there to get btc instead of paypal
punkman: I'm thinking zpaq > gpg > rsync
danielpbarron: !up austeritysucks
austeritysucks: "At this time, bank accounts and credit cards from your country cannot be linked to Circle. Our apologies for the inconvenience. " :(
austeritysucks: coinbase however works in my country
cazalla: works here in australia too austeritysucks although a lot of people report otherwise
austeritysucks: cazalla, but yea i dont want to get horse in front of carriage i need to make this exchange system working better before i worry about expanding customers right
austeritysucks: cazalla, i've been using it to eliminate volatility in receiving btc payments
cazalla: i have things to do, nice talking austeritysucks
austeritysucks: so it has worked fine for me but i have yet to withdraw so i can't fully vouch
austeritysucks: ok have a good one cazalla you too

punkman: why not both?
kakobrekla: because you have 2mbit upload.

decimation: BingoBoingo: the lawsuit is actually amusing, because it divides usg against itself

asciilifeform: is this 'an attack' ?
BingoBoingo: Stirring shit up with North Korea is a natural move for the United States, because it distracts from the United States surrendering to Cuba to end that battle of the cold war.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It can be.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: it seems privatized groups are better at disappearing acts than the USG's agency.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: reading from only the official material, that is precisely the kind of 'attack' involved.
thestringpuller: I'm pretty sure there is some privatize black site that is superior to USG version.
asciilifeform: 'attacker' (via spammail or telephone) - 'can plz has password' sony clerk: 'aye, here'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In that case there hasn't ever been an "attack" in the history of the internet
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: occasionally actual exploit exists
decimation: asciilifeform: I agree with your hypothesis in that I think USG genuinely guides the computer industry into insecurity
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But how often can actual exploit be truly distinguished from McDonalds exploit fed to the consuminator?
decimation: imagine if the billions poured into 'cybersecurity' were spent on constructing an actual secure terminal from first principles
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: actual exploit in the sense that no cooperation is needed from the luser
decimation: that's the midget that the usg has squashed by sitting on the computer industry stool
decimation: the fbi claims it was an email attachment that dropped some scanners that guess passwords to smb shares

decimation: asciilifeform: I think it's the case that there is (or was) some meta-usg lab that could conceive and develop secure terminal - perhaps already has
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I thought "trojan" was falling out of fashion because fashion is now to go cloud where it is given that Eve already has root.

decimation: asciilifeform: it's possible that at least someone inside usg who was charged with developing secure computing actually got somewhere
