06:00 ozbot Bitcoin Mining Contracts - Cloud Hashing
06:01 b0n1 is there any big asic shipments coming up or any other reasons to cause unusually increases of the difficulty

06:20 pankkake deliver*
06:21 b0n1 how big estimated?
06:21 pankkake hashfast was supposed to deliver months ago; many preorders
06:21 b0n1 how many hashes to deliver?
06:21 pankkake https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283820.0 has an estimate of preorders
06:21 ozbot Estimate of ASIC pre-orders: 13 to 15 PH/s (diff 1.8B to 2.1B) by end of 2013
06:28 b0n1 thx pankkake really helpful
06:28 b0n1 with this perspective, the offer doesnt look that attractive anymore
06:29 pankkake glad to save you some btc :p
06:29 b0n1 with an assumption of 20% diff increase we have a break even in 97 days
06:29 b0n1 if its 25% we have no break even at all
06:30 b0n1 maybe 25% is a bit too much to assume but anyway, its totally risky

08:15 mircea_popescu o right you are hehe
08:15 mircea_popescu in general people seem to be more like fishing for "the sure thing" than acting strategically.
08:16 mircea_popescu if real odds are 30 and the site shows 50 you're more likely to see people piling on the heavy side i think

08:17 mircea_popescu more like 1.75 neh ?
08:17 Neil Nah; definitely over 1.8
08:17 Neil I reckon instantaneous diff is ~ 2bn
08:18 Neil (i.e. from instantaneous hashrate)
08:19 mircea_popescu instantaneous hash rate is a myth tho
08:19 Neil I disagree. You can make good estimates of it.
08:20 Neil There is of course quite wild variance, which is where a modicum of skill comes in, but not much
08:20 mircea_popescu but hash rate is "how many times per second did we fail to solve a specified problem"
08:20 mircea_popescu this in principle is infinity.
08:21 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 68100 @ 0.00084821 = 57.7631 BTC [-]
08:21 mircea_popescu anyway, sipa's dirty estimator kind-of agrees with you, http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin-10k.png
08:21 Neil I track it in a s/s of my own; do my own thing :)
08:23 Neil It's amazing the 25% replacement rate continues.
08:23 assbot AMAZING COMPANY!
08:23 Neil I wonder if we make 1 exahash/sec this year.
08:24 mircea_popescu at the rate it's going...
08:29 Neil Well, baggsied that as a new proposition, and funded it :)
08:38 ThickAsThieves the Yes bets keep piling up, taking all my hard-earned bettings
08:41 Neil ThickAsThieves: You could always bet No :)
08:41 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 64884 @ 0.00084716 = 54.9671 BTC [-] {2}
08:42 ThickAsThieves weight drops too slowly :(
08:43 Neil Satoshi was quite forward-thinking; clearly saw the possibility of such high difficulties given the FP-like format "bits" is encoded as
08:43 mircea_popescu lol hard earned betting
08:43 ThickAsThieves i'm always hard when I earn
08:44 mircea_popescu you've not earnd till it pays out
08:44 ThickAsThieves premature hardening
08:44 Neil These difficulty bets should have a slightly larger window of closing to resolution than 5 days IMO. It tends to be too obvious then. At least a full cycle (10-12 days) should be the gap.
08:44 mircea_popescu Neil i think our 50:1 bs is misstating the point. a guy betting no only gets 4x his btc
08:44 mircea_popescu and let me point out to you that originally nobody thought there's a chance in hell it reaches 2bn by feb.
08:45 mircea_popescu so the window was ample back when the bet was made.
08:45 Neil True. A guy betting Yes just gets a crumb :)
08:45 ThickAsThieves even now you can throw 50 btc at it and get 3.5btc, but of course that will turn to .35 btc by the time the bet is over
08:45 Neil I think the only one profiting from this bet is bitbet
08:46 mircea_popescu so basically you can either risk 1 btc for 7 cents on one side, or risk 1 btc for 4 btc on the other side
08:46 mircea_popescu this does not equate to 50:1, not really.
08:46 ThickAsThieves basically betting that there's a fork or something
08:46 mircea_popescu if there's a 2 day fork say the no people will make out like bandits.
08:47 Neil 2-day fork, lol.
08:47 ThickAsThieves btcusd would go to 135 again
08:47 ThickAsThieves hehe
08:47 mircea_popescu the march one was what, 18 hours ?
08:47 ThickAsThieves this reminds me
08:47 ThickAsThieves back then, all the pool ops worked together
08:47 Neil Not that long; I was watching it. Perhaps 12.
08:47 ThickAsThieves but now, ghash.io is a big player
08:48 mircea_popescu im pretty sure it was over 12 but under a full day
08:48 ThickAsThieves do they play nice with all the other ops?
08:48 mircea_popescu i find it fitting that the first comment on the largest prop bet in the history of bitcoin is "beware of this scammy website"
08:48 Neil ThickAsThieves: It's still game theory; they'd lose if they piss too many players off. More incentive to be nice I think.
08:49 Neil mircea_popescu: Well let's see if you pay out...
08:49 mircea_popescu i suppose the #1 reason noobs are still being scammed blind is the fact that idiots run arround making false scammer claims all teh time
08:49 mircea_popescu that's a point i guess.
08:49 ThickAsThieves The boy who cried BFL
08:50 Neil Yeah this is about $1.3m now. Insane.
08:50 mircea_popescu Neil that gaming theory has the barb that it workls in reality, not in people's imagination. there's a huge premium on pissing off the right crowd of people.
08:50 Neil Don't understand your 2nd sentence?
08:50 ThickAsThieves After all the reddit scare, I wonder if the pool simply set up a way to anonymize some of its hashing
08:50 Neil ThickAsThieves: That thought occurred to me too.
08:50 mircea_popescu Neil take bitbet. part of its success has to do with me pissing all over the reddit crowd and its sensibilities.
08:51 mircea_popescu basically bitcoin rewards exactly the opposite behaviour that us elections reward.
08:51 Neil mircea_popescu: You're on reddit? Dunno the history there.
08:51 mircea_popescu ;;google bitbet stole
08:51 gribble BitBet Stole ~$7,000 from me (10 BTC) - Bitcoin Forum: <https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=339544.0>; BitBet - US Federal Minimum Wage will be raised above $7.25 by ...: <http://bitbet.us/bet/355/us-federal-minimum-wage-will-be-raised-above/>; BitBet - Bitfinex insolvent by end of April: <http://bitbet.us/bet/362/bitfinex-insolvent-by-end-of- (1 more message)
08:51 mircea_popescu read teh first one
08:51 Neil Ah yeah I know that one.
08:51 ThickAsThieves they voted to return the money, why havent you!?
08:52 ThickAsThieves :)
08:52 mircea_popescu because i think their opinion is not worth the shit it's carved in.
08:52 Duffer1 lol
08:52 Duffer1 voting, that's cute
08:52 mircea_popescu no but see, that's the electoral system. people with no skin in the game vote on how the game should be run
08:52 mircea_popescu then you get the us govt.
08:53 mircea_popescu another way of saying "concern trolling on a planetary scale"
08:53 Neil ThickAsThieves: ghash.io is part itself (cex?) and part individual miners. They could move their own hashing to appear anon. Can't do that with external miners to the pool I think.
08:53 ThickAsThieves i think it's funny that voting is optional
08:54 ThickAsThieves Neil, I'm sure there's a way they could do it
08:54 ThickAsThieves have it all be in the pool
08:54 mircea_popescu they could just solve each block off a different ip.
08:54 ThickAsThieves but not show as such
08:54 mircea_popescu who's to stop them ?
08:55 mircea_popescu even ipv4 cost like 2-300 bucks per c block
08:55 Neil mircea_popescu: Then the pool payouts wouldn't match contributed hashrate.
08:55 mircea_popescu ipv6 are free pretty much
08:55 mircea_popescu neil why not ?
08:55 ThickAsThieves they could sort that too probly
08:55 Neil All GHash.io blocks are stamped that way.
08:55 mircea_popescu no but they just broadcast the block off a new ip each time
08:56 mircea_popescu they can trivially separate broadcasting, what's to keep them
08:56 Neil But then what would they be paying miners with? A miner would notice he got a block and the pool didn't claim it, at some point.
08:56 mircea_popescu i don't follow what you are saying at all.
08:56 Apocalyptic neither do I
08:56 Apocalyptic "A miner would notice he got a block" // how so ?
08:56 ThickAsThieves the goal isnt to hide earnings, its to hide who made them from the public
08:57 Apocalyptic miners just solve shares
08:57 mircea_popescu and all the public has to go on is the very dubious blockchaininfo ip identification
08:57 Neil Apocalyptic: Miners don't know when they got the one that solved it? I'm sure they do.
08:57 mircea_popescu sooo /
08:58 ThickAsThieves its okay for the miner to see what they solcve and get paid bonuses
08:58 ThickAsThieves we only need to mask the source in public
08:59 ThickAsThieves ghash.io is probly at 60%
08:59 ThickAsThieves double-spending selectively
08:59 ThickAsThieves :)
08:59 mircea_popescu lol right
08:59 mircea_popescu double spending selectively some confused dork's unheard of casino site
08:59 mircea_popescu help help.
09:00 decimation hi. I'm a noob to the channel, but I note the conversation shifted to mining - and I was wondering if anyone had experience with kncminer stuff?

09:00 mircea_popescu decimation you mean running it or what ?

09:00 ThickAsThieves you may be right
09:01 decimation yes. I ordered a "2nd batch" neptune for ~11 btc and I was wondering about the probability it would actually arrive and work would be
09:01 Neil ThickAsThieves: Was that your comment about closing the bet now? hehe
09:01 mircea_popescu afaik knc actually delivers.
09:01 ThickAsThieves Neil, no, hehe

09:01 Neil lol
09:01 mircea_popescu i'm looking forward to the "bitbet should close all the bets and send all the bitcoins to me plzkthx"
09:02 mircea_popescu i know they're coming.
09:02 decimation yeah, that's the dubious part, they claim 3 TH/s, but the difficulty in 6 months ...
09:02 decimation perhaps I should hedge on bitbet :)
09:02 ThickAsThieves like blockchain beggars
09:02 ThickAsThieves that's a nextgen band name

09:05 Neil too low
09:06 KRS1 what do you guys think of that?

09:07 KRS1 i have no idea how you can insure a bitcoin wallet.
09:07 mircea_popescu but that's just me.
09:07 KRS1 huh..its wallet insurance
09:07 Duffer1 i don't see how it will be used for anything other than scamming
09:07 mircea_popescu no it's not. it's a website and a dumbass.
09:07 KRS1 hmm..ok
09:07 mircea_popescu or a dumbass and his website, or a website and its dumbass or however this works.
09:08 Neil I don't get it.
09:08 ThickAsThieves dont bother
09:08 Neil But then I'd have said that about bitcoin back in 2009
09:08 mircea_popescu yes well just because we found a black swan is no reason to go looking for black lions.
09:09 mircea_popescu the apex predator in africa is blond and that's that.
09:09 KRS1 is it even possible to provide wallet insurance and successfully make a profit?
09:09 Neil Wouldn't be surprised to see 2bn difficulty bet could get to 1500 total. Would that be a record?
09:09 mircea_popescu KRS1 does it work irl ? anyone insure wallets ?
09:09 KRS1 i cant see how
09:09 KRS1 there is a new offering from the U.K. for that
09:09 Neil KRS1: Only in a controlled and verified env I suspect.
09:10 mircea_popescu http://bitbet.us/bet/7/bfl-will-deliver-asic-devices-before-march-1st/ that's the prev record
09:10 ozbot BitBet - BFL will deliver ASIC devices before March 1st
09:10 decimation one can purchase jewelry insurance in the US
09:10 mircea_popescu ~1690 btc

09:10 KRS1 maybe thats why the U.K. offering is hosted on AWS
09:10 mircea_popescu i knew that'd turn into a challenge :D
09:10 KRS1 ok well I'll leave you guys alone..thanks anyway.
09:10 mircea_popescu decimation yes, but not against "i accidentally flushed it down the toilet" scenarios
09:12 Neil I give it 60% chance of getting to 1690. The leeches will come in in about 1 week (on either side) when the outcome will be clear, even to scrape a 2%
09:13 Neil If it veers to no, I hate to think how big the bets become
09:13 mircea_popescu srsly, if there's a sudden gulp and it looks like no have the upper hand...
09:13 mircea_popescu whoa nelly.
09:14 Neil bitbet's Jan earnings should be good
09:14 mircea_popescu maybe some dork manages to send a donation bet for whatever, 5k btc
09:15 mircea_popescu prolly the sort of thing i deserve for my hybric nature.
09:15 Neil The difficulty is known at the block prior to the block with the new difficulty (it's a 2015 block window). So theoretically bets in the period of the 2016th block should be refunded.
09:16 Neil trivia
09:17 ThickAsThieves heh
09:20 decimation http://www.perfectcircleinsurance.com/PerfectCircle/media/MediaLibrary/Images/content/Perfect-Circle-Jewelry-Insurance-Sample-Policy.pdf
09:20 decimation There is an example jewelry insurance policy
09:20 KRS1 hmm
09:21 decimation they insure against loss; not intentional loss
09:21 KRS1 yeah i dig it but...its not a bitcoin wallet.
09:21 KRS1 its easier to lose or flush down the toilet..wondering how peercover will do this
09:21 decimation Indeed, the risks are obviously much greater for a btc wallet
09:21 KRS1 i bet the said wallet has to be hosted on their platform or something
09:22 decimation and there are not any actuarial tables
09:22 Neil https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty
09:22 KRS1 and under 2btc for $X plan
09:22 Neil "Here's a fast way to calculate bitcoin difficulty" folllowed by lots of spaghetti from Amir.
09:22 Neil There's a much faster way that uses no logs or bignums...

17:44 kakobrekla hm
17:44 kakobrekla why do i have a feeling this would reqire lots of diy
17:45 asciilifeform you can buy halon bottles with self-opening valves (smoke detector)
17:45 asciilifeform or ordinary fire extinguishers filled with it.
17:45 asciilifeform the enviro-whiner substitute for halon, 'halotron', is considerably less effective and more poisonous.

19:54 mircea_popescu Duffer1 the main town is pretty much a constant spam of "send us monez we send back monez"
19:54 Duffer1 ah
19:54 diametric I made almost all my money scamming.

19:55 Duffer1 i 'played' eve for a few hours, i never got the impression i was 'playing' anything, more like watching eve

20:11 mircea_popescu Duffer1 notrly. they don't do nearly enough sex to make the cut as a rule.
20:11 Duffer1 ha
20:13 Duffer1 i've found that to be true of fantasy and sci-fi
20:13 Duffer1 with the exception of the altered carbon series
20:13 mircea_popescu nah, fantasy has the advantage it's much, much older. stuff like gargantua y pantagruel counts in my eyes.
20:15 mircea_popescu and with it, you know. most of strabo, shakespeare, everyone writing before the industrial revolution is writing stuff indistinguishable from fantasy.
20:15 Duffer1 fascinating
20:15 diametric I have to admit though, good sci-fi is good.
20:15 diametric but there is significantly more bad sci-fi than bad fantasy.
20:16 mircea_popescu moreover, i understand a lot more science than whatever rules fantasy.
20:16 mircea_popescu so very easy to spoil even principally good sf.
20:16 diametric yeah, thats a problem. fantasy has its own internal consistency, you know, magic. you can suspend your disbelief easier.
20:17 mircea_popescu take... i dunno, take clarke's thing with the rotating space straw.
20:17 diametric but every time i watch a scifi where some motherfucker hacks a system like he's playing a puzzle game
20:17 diametric it makes me want to punch the screen
20:17 mircea_popescu plenty of good ideas, but you're telling me some people live inside a fake-gravity spinning straw ? it's ridiculous.

20:19 mircea_popescu these are the foundational books of western thought.

20:21 benkay just a reference to the harvard classics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Classics)
20:21 mircea_popescu these dudes were writing post-meta-deconstructivist works on the bitcointalk scams cca 1500
20:21 mircea_popescu didja read candide ?
20:22 Duffer1 if it's over 100yo and not plutarch or shakespeare then i probably haven't read it
20:23 mircea_popescu scandalous.
20:23 mircea_popescu well that's what i mean when i write about "teaching people to read and write and nothing else"
20:23 Duffer1 though i do have sophacles on my shelf i haven't been able to bring myself to open it
20:23 mircea_popescu you're illiterate, basically. like it or not it's what it is.

21:43 nubbins` i have some duplicates and want to expand my collection
21:43 KRS1 fricken people
21:44 nubbins` it's kind of risky though, because the other guy could just not send his coin
21:44 mircea_popescu or his coin could be fake
21:44 nubbins` nod
21:44 nubbins` any number of things
21:44 mircea_popescu it's more akin to exchanging underwear/chastity vows/whatever other amorous practices
21:44 mircea_popescu than commerce
21:45 nubbins` i mean, i've even got pgp-signed docs from casascius with md5 checksums of scans of the coins he sent me... but that doesn't stop me from making fakes with the same addresses
21:45 nubbins` so it's really a bit of a leap of faith either way
21:46 nubbins` but hey, maybe casascius kept all the private keys, or maybe my gold bullion is filled with tungsten, or maybe my coffee whitener is full of powdered melamine
21:46 nubbins` &c

21:49 nubbins` or even worse, 30btc for their 10s
21:50 nubbins` find me a coin that a collector would pay $17,000 over spot for, y'know?
21:51 nubbins` unless it has the blood of rasputin on it or something, it's just taking the piss
21:51 mircea_popescu most collector coins trade over spot eh ?
21:51 nubbins` sure, yeah
21:51 nubbins` but $17k over?

21:55 Vexual milka
21:56 nubbins` i went on a bit of a coin binge a few months ago
21:56 Duffer1 canadian mint?
21:56 nubbins` some from there (i'm in the "masters club" now), some from amagi, some from casascius
21:57 nubbins` if you were wondering, being in the masters club mostly just means you get a ton of junk mail
21:57 Duffer1 hehe
21:57 nubbins` first dibs on new releases too, but most of them are shitty these days
21:57 nubbins` you might see three or four coins worth buying throughout the year
21:58 nubbins` last gold one i bought was, i think, 2x spot
21:59 Duffer1 i've never bought precious metals, that sounds high
22:00 nubbins` it was a funny piece. odd weight, nice design, low mintage, very high purity (99999!)
22:01 nubbins` 1oz silver pieces are generally priced at $99, roughly 5x spot
22:02 Duffer1 ah
22:02 Duffer1 what's the point of a coin over a bar then?
22:04 KRS1 i think coins are lower weight..but at the end of the day..it doesnt matter if its a dildo.
22:04 nubbins` these are just collectible items. only bought for numismatic values.
22:04 nubbins` the mint also makes plain bullion coins (silver/gold maple leafs), that are sold for spot
22:04 Duffer1 i see
22:04 nubbins` but you can only buy those through resellers. they don't sell them directly to the public.
22:04 KRS1 nice way to cash out btc if you are facing regulatory problems with your banks
22:05 KRS1 heard stories about coinabul tho wouldnt use them
22:05 KRS1 their spot price was also kind of hihg
22:05 nubbins` ah, i've heard bad things about amagi too, although i've never had problems
22:06 nubbins` people don't realize that a lot of these places don't really have stock on-hand waiting to ship
22:06 nubbins` they put in an order with their supplier once a week or whatever
22:06 nubbins` to fill outstanding orders
22:06 nubbins` as far as spot-value bullion coins go, there are really only a handful in both silver and gold
22:06 KRS1 nubbins`: if you find a site that does decent deals with in stock metals let me know
22:07 KRS1 gold is so low now

22:08 KRS1 if they place an order with their supplier, your price is still firm at checkout when you purchase right
22:08 nubbins` nod.
22:09 KRS1 i dont follow silver..is it low price these days like gold?
22:09 nubbins` ;;bc,xag
22:09 gribble 1 XAG = 20.180000000000 USD = 0.02018 BTC
22:09 nubbins` it's been higher
22:10 nubbins` i mean, the whole silver/gold stacking thing is a bit fucking silly
22:10 KRS1 looks like gold is around 3 yr low
22:11 nubbins` but if you happen to have done well with btc and wish to safeguard your initial investment, purchasing its value in gold and/or silver is an okay idea
22:11 nubbins` i mean, shit, pull it out a few different ways. cash, even.
22:12 nubbins` recently my bank started selling silver and gold bullion over the counter
22:12 nubbins` which, to me, screams "SELL RIGHT NOW"
22:12 KRS1 yeah but when is it time to pull it out =D
22:12 KRS1 that is the question
22:12 the20year1 what country?
22:12 nubbins` i'm not saying sell all your btc, that would be retarded
22:12 KRS1 (btc)
22:12 nubbins` the20year: canada, cibc
22:12 nubbins` but let's say you bought $100 of btc and it's now worth $5k
22:12 Vexual seen these rare earth coins? http://www.elementsales.com/ecoins.htm
22:13 nubbins` why not treat yourself to $100 of gold and $100 of silver?
22:13 nubbins` Vexual: rare earth coins are generally a bad investment.
22:13 KRS1 nubbins`: screams sell (btc) right now? we were talking about gold/silver etc
22:13 the20year1 That's what I did when BTC went up to $250 from the $35 I bought it at
22:13 Vexual why is that nubs?
22:13 the20year1 Seemed like a good choice :D
22:13 nubbins` KRS1: sorry, i meant that when my bank started selling bullion, i figured it meant i should start selling all my silver/gold
22:14 nubbins` after all, if the bank expected the price to rise, why would they start selling it?
22:14 KRS1 ah yes it would drive the price of those metals down..they're feeding it to you
22:14 the20year1 because your bank realized they can make money on it....they don't buy it for retail, nor do they hold it as a reserve
22:14 nubbins` Vexual: well, when the value explodes in the future, you can't just sell your gallium coins to samsung or w/e
22:14 Vexual why not?
22:15 nubbins` because places that purchase rare earth metals have long-term contracts with mines and refineries
22:15 nubbins` they don't just purchase loose coins off the street
22:15 Vexual good point
22:15 nubbins` you might as well walk into a hospital with a kidney for sale
22:15 KRS1 hah
22:16 nubbins` the20year: my bank buys bullion for less than spot?
22:16 nubbins` wait, sorry, i misread
22:16 nubbins` they actually do sell for slightly higher than spot
22:16 nubbins` $1-2 per oz
22:17 the20year1 Are they government issued pieces, or junk?
22:17 nubbins` government issue
22:17 the20year1 or just private mintage
22:18 the20year1 Then they're making 50c-$1 per ounce they sell in fees
22:18 the20year1 Canada COULD absolutely kill the fiat market by introducing metal-backed money, as they have been doing in limited numbers
22:18 the20year1 Paid much attention to the $20 silver coins?
22:18 nubbins` i've got several :)
22:18 nubbins` they do $100 for $100 coins, too
22:19 nubbins` of which i have several as well
22:19 nubbins` each one has sold out so far
22:19 the20year1 I don't know if you track the spread, but *most* of those coins are in so high demand the spread is anywhere from 10% to 40% over face value
22:20 nubbins` nod. as soon as the 20s sell out, you see them selling for $25
22:20 nubbins` 100s, $125
22:20 the20year1 I've seen some sell successfully for $50+

22:20 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 20300 @ 0.00084705 = 17.1951 BTC [-]
22:20 nubbins` $100 for $100 -- er, we mean $125
22:21 the20year1 Which means there's phenominal demand, those coins aren't sold outside of Canada, have extremely strict limits, and still sell out in virtually hours each time a new one is released
22:21 the20year1 And the mint is making right around $10 per $20 coin they sell in profit
22:21 nubbins` the 20s are only 1/4oz
22:21 nubbins` 100s are 1oz
22:21 the20year1 That was one of the reasons I'm so big on this REIcoin thing because we could mint our own currency too just like the RCM is doing
22:22 the20year1 Of course it is, remember when the US and Canada put real silver in metals, the spot value of the metal was always under the metals content.
22:22 nubbins` three coins per household unless you're a member of... THE MASTERS CLUB
22:22 the20year1 The idea was that in the event of a high inflationary period the populace could still have significant buying power just in the coins they held
22:22 the20year1 So , today those 25c American coins are worth roughly $4
22:23 nubbins` makes bank notes seem pretty unappealing, hey
22:23 the20year1 the best thing the RCM and US mint could have done during the metal increase of the 60s would have been to debase to 40% (As the US did) , then to 10% like mexico did, till prices came down
22:24 the20year1 Bank notes can't compare in any way to the value of coins. Unlike paper currency , the lions' share of coins in most developed countries hold value, that is till they debased in the cesspool
22:24 nubbins` an ounce of steel isn't worth too much ;p
22:24 the20year1 IE 1 american penny from 1900 continues to hold similar buying power 113 years later. a quarter from 1964 has equal buying power to what it did at tha t time
22:24 nubbins` yeah
22:25 the20year1 1 1982 American penny essentially holds similar value to what it did then , same with a 1980 canadian nickel
22:25 the20year1 (Both weren't debased at those times)
22:25 nubbins` i've only ever come across a single solitary silver dime since i started examining pocket change
22:25 the20year1 I've talked to old timers, and they tell me that within 4 years all the pre-debasement currency was removed from the market

22:25 the20year1 Well, something like 99.9%
22:26 nubbins` well, these days bored people just buy rolls and rolls of coins from the banks
22:26 nubbins` pick out the silvers and cash in the rest
22:26 the20year1 Correct, hoping to strike it big
22:26 the20year1 I did that for a while, was never worth the time
22:26 nubbins` it's a hard way to make a buck these days
22:26 KRS1 i've been looking at 5yr graph of silver, seems like this is the time to buy
22:26 the20year1 Instead i started flippign coins and setting up a sort of 'we buy coins' shop
22:26 nubbins` KRS1: look at a 10yr graph
22:27 KRS1 ok
22:27 KRS1 url? Im trying to find one
22:27 the20year1 I've bought some silver, need to getb ack in the game, did a pretty decent $1500+ buy at 65% of spot a month ago
22:27 nubbins` shrug, kitco?
22:27 the20year1 should be on kitco

22:27 KRS1 then yeah i am right?
22:28 the20year1 Yeah
22:28 the20year1 silver and gold are very bubbly, it all depends on where big money goes
22:28 the20year1 Real estate to metals, to mREITs, to tech companies
22:28 nubbins` a friend of mine put every cent he had into silver in 2008
22:28 the20year1 right now the big, stupid money is in tech
22:28 the20year1 I know quite a few people who did
22:28 KRS1 i dont think real estate is where its at either

22:29 KRS1 i think metals and maybe ride the platium pony too
22:29 the20year1 Yeah, it's always localized
22:29 nubbins` platinum is one thing i don't hold

22:29 nubbins` mostly because "9995 purity" makes my skin itch
