Ziff-Davis did some research using some of the bitcoin chain tracking software, tracing four addresses which were used and were determined from multiple CryptoLocker victims who, after paying their money, made public the address that they had sent payment to. The CryptoLocker extortionware acquired a total of 41, just shy of 42,000 bitcoins, 41,928 bitcoins. |

yea 2 for the first version and then less for v2 |

Moldbug would seem to argue that Bitcoin is harder than gold, by virtue of its finite supply |
00:20 |
herbijudlestoids |
yes, FOFOA also |
00:20 |
decimation |
but FOFOA seems to argue that gold is held in stronger hands |
00:20 |
herbijudlestoids |
the argument is much more nuanced than that |
00:21 |
herbijudlestoids |
its about roles, what asset plays what role to the aggregate world aka "superorganism" |
00:21 |
herbijudlestoids |
right now, USD plays the role of reserve asset (i.e. store of value), medium of exchange and unit of account globally and especially in the case of marginal producers |
00:22 |
herbijudlestoids |
EUR was by design (4 decades in the making) to take the role of USD on its eventual failure in those roles, but only in the roles of medium of exchange and unit of account |
00:23 |
herbijudlestoids |
store of value for marginal producers/savers to be carried out in gold (see ECB balance sheet) |
00:23 |
herbijudlestoids |
FOFOA argument is that bitcoin versus USD is a non competition, real competition is BTC versus "what comes next" i.e. EUR+Gold |
00:24 |
herbijudlestoids |
and while BTC might make an elegant medium of exchange it wont be adopted as a reference point like EUR since its hard |
00:25 |
herbijudlestoids |
the implicit assumption is that the MoE should be soft, grow/contract along with the economy |

herbijudlestoids |
this all goes back to mises regression theory, that money is whatever people (especially the marginal producer/consumer aka saver/borrower) use for money. ECB, peoples bank of china, oil surplus like Saudis all understand gold in the role of store of value, therefore gold is the store of value |
00:28 |
herbijudlestoids |
demand gives the value, so unless ECB and saudis start demanding to save in BTC it will never be store of value |
00:28 |
herbijudlestoids |
im not giving my opinion here, just trying to decode the msg |
00:29 |
decimation |
Okay, but the question is: what will the saudis demand in the future? |
00:29 |
herbijudlestoids |
yesterday today and in the future the saudis have always demanded gold |
00:29 |
herbijudlestoids |
even in the advent of the petrodollar, under the assumption the dollars could be redeemed on the spot market for physical gold |

It seems like a rather futile enterprise to try, but if the Doge'ers are as brazen as they seem to be now. |
01:00 |
BingoBoingo |
herbijudlestoids: Have you ever given thought to the possibility the universe just might hate R and want to make a mockery of it. |
01:01 |
|
same way tor did |
01:01 |

non existant problem, basically |
01:04 |
herbijudlestoids |
BingoBoingo: nope :) |
01:04 |

Before the end of February I imagine my site is going to requite a niggers.txt file |
01:04 |
herbijudlestoids |
i luv teh R, whats your beef? |
01:04 |
herbijudlestoids |
do you wanna see my new tick distribution from the last 48h? this is per 10 tick returns |
01:04 |

herbijudlestoids: That common LISP or PYthon could be less verbose. |
01:05 |
BingoBoingo |
herbijudlestoids: How do yoy know I don't have better deets |
01:05 |
herbijudlestoids |
i can do in R in about 5 lines what takes ~100 lines in python |
01:05 |
BingoBoingo |
or care about moves measured in minutes or days. |
01:05 |
herbijudlestoids |
BingoBoingo: you might, i dunno, i just thought you migh tlike to see it, i pulled the data from #bitcoin-assets-trades and processed in R :) |
01:06 |
herbijudlestoids |
when i get more data i will do some lower resolution graphs |
01:06 |
herbijudlestoids |
not much point doing a daily returns distribution when youv only got 2 days |

herbijudlestoids: I don't speak R to the computer for the same reason I don't speak Attic Greek in conversation |

and? whats the reason? lol |
01:07 |
BingoBoingo |
Ancient lights is the reason |
01:09 |
BingoBoingo |
Attic Greek is old enough skipping to Sabine taming Latin is reasonable. R is old enough skipping to Python is reasonable (though Ruby is never reasonable). |

python cannot do what i can do in R in so few lines. |

08:23 |
jurov |
fico comes to china (he likes to go there) and they ask him: how many slovaks there are? |
08:23 |
jurov |
"5 million" |
08:23 |

08:23 |
mircea_popescu |
ok, check out the romanian variant : |
08:24 |
mircea_popescu |
there's this ethnic group in romania, living in Oltenia (the south west), called olteni. they have a reputation of being sorta hillbilly-ish. |
| |
↖ |
08:24 |
mircea_popescu |
so, one day these guys (about 2mn total) declare war to china. |
08:25 |
mircea_popescu |
the chinese are kind-of shocked, spend about a week trying to find large enouygh maps so this Oltenia is shiwn on them |
08:25 |
mircea_popescu |
eventualy they discover it's a province of Romania and not even autonomous, so they tell their ambassador at Bucharest to go on a trip to Caracal and see what in the fuck. |
08:25 |
mircea_popescu |
"Hello nice people. Did you send us a declaration of war ?!" |
08:25 |
mircea_popescu |
"Yes we did." |
08:25 |
mircea_popescu |
"But why ?!" |
08:25 |
mircea_popescu |
"None of your business" |
08:26 |
mircea_popescu |
"But do you realise the great nation of Han is over a billion strong ? That the US falls over itself to do whatever we tell them to ? That we can call under arms about a quarter billion people within two weeks ?" |
08:26 |
mircea_popescu |
at which point the local troop is taken aback and they turn around to speak among themselves |
08:27 |
mircea_popescu |
"Hmm... so many chinese... where the fuck do we burry them all ?!" |
08:27 |

08:38 |

mircea_popescu |
what's den ? |
08:38 |
jurov |
den is day but that's unrelated |
08:38 |
mircea_popescu |
how do you say "i drink" ? |
08:38 |
jurov |
ja pijem |
08:38 |
mircea_popescu |
how do you say "she drinks me" ? |
08:39 |
truffles |
0.0 |
08:39 |
mircea_popescu |
what, it's a transitive verb. |
08:39 |
jurov |
depends |
08:39 |
jurov |
ona ma pije |
08:39 |
mircea_popescu |
haha. depends. ok, how do you say "she drinks my drink" ? |
08:39 |
jurov |
but if you were to say she goes on my nerves, then |
08:39 |
jurov |
ona mi pije krv |
08:40 |
jurov |
she is drinking my blood |
08:40 |
mircea_popescu |
ja ma mi, so jenen is in fact "one". romanian doesn't have it. there's cineva = somebody, but there's no "one" as an impersonal Is person. |
08:41 |
jurov |
it's any impersonal person, not just 1st |
08:41 |
mircea_popescu |
myeah. |
08:42 |
mircea_popescu |
jeden nikdy nevie = nu se stie niciodata. a sti, to know, se stie is roughly the subjonctive. so the function is done by the verb rather than by a pronoun. |
08:43 |
Neil |
subjonctive: Is that franglais or sthg? |
08:43 |
mircea_popescu |
it's a mood, comes from latin |
08:43 |

Cross between subjonctif and subjunctive. :) |

english has it, very a ok, subjunctive then. |

yeah, that's how I selling bitcoins |
10:26 |
mircea_popescu |
lol |
10:26 |
wao-ender |
I just setup high price, when one is in the emergency, it will sell somehow.. |
10:27 |
jurov |
there the situation is clear |
10:27 |
jurov |
but in politics, someone often comes to help |
10:27 |
jurov |
and them messes everything beyond repair |
10:27 |
wao-ender |
mircea_popescu: but, I will think about it, politics in our countyr will be open for new parties in year or next year after |
10:27 |
mircea_popescu |
so don't give them access to anything that's more dangerous than they're trustworthy. |
10:28 |
wao-ender |
mircea_popescu: because that Fico's party (SMER-SD) will loose it's managment when he moves to the president position afaik |
10:28 |
mircea_popescu |
wao-ender nothing comes of those who think about things, in my experience. |
10:28 |
jurov |
wao-ender: if you do know such trustworthy people, then i'll think about it |
10:28 |
jurov |
because i don't except for you |
10:28 |
wao-ender |
.. when I knew, he is second time premier, I knew best exit from politics is to be just two times president in a row. |
10:29 |
mircea_popescu |
or more properly said : you gotta think from the perspective "i am doing this, let me think how" rather than from the perspective "let me think if i will do this" |
10:29 |
mircea_popescu |
that latter approach never goes anywhere. |
10:29 |
wao-ender |
jurov: when this aim will be announced, I think some new comers will reveal from other circles |
10:30 |
jurov |
yes, that's what i'm talking about |
10:30 |
jurov |
what do you do with them? you can't give them any responsibility |
10:31 |
mircea_popescu |
you always can give someone responsibility. just tailor it. |
10:31 |
wao-ender |
oh, you need treat them like they are special in some way, in positive sense |
10:31 |
mircea_popescu |
make them copy down your party programme by hand for a week. |
10:31 |
jurov |
fuck i could have been a star of hearing disability HGO, run for MP, etc. I really was in national TV 2 times. |
10:31 |
mircea_popescu |
that's a responsibility. |
10:31 |
jurov |
*NGO |
10:31 |
wao-ender |
and not giving them full permissions, just little of them. They will just show you how they can manage responsibility with that little permissions |
10:31 |
mircea_popescu |
^ |
10:31 |
mircea_popescu |
exactly like computers work. |
10:32 |
jurov |
then i found I dont; really have any support, just backstabbing |
10:32 |
mircea_popescu |
you're too emotional. |
10:32 |
jurov |
yes i know |
10:32 |
mircea_popescu |
who cares about all teh goats in the world. |
10:32 |
wao-ender |
and yes, you need to be cold, w/o any emotions at all. |
10:33 |
jurov |
often i imagine myself in a public dispute |
10:33 |
jurov |
only to realize i'd seriously offend most people involved |
10:33 |
mircea_popescu |
so ? |
10:34 |
jurov |
i like to speak too straight |
10:34 |
wao-ender |
oh, diplomatic speech is just all about training and clever words |
10:34 |
jurov |
*too emotional |
10:34 |
mircea_popescu |
just as long as you have a point, offending idiots is actually a net positive for you. |
10:34 |
mircea_popescu |
offend away. |
10:35 |
wao-ender |
but well, I'm marked as master troll in my circles, is that great way to start? |
10:35 |
jurov |
there are *all* idiots then... usually almost nobody gets my point |
10:35 |
mircea_popescu |
then your point needs working on, or perhaps the expression thereof. |
10:36 |
mircea_popescu |
jurov just consider this : for all you know i could be deaf and mute. i've never bothered to prop up whatever dumbass conferences they do, where various nobodies gather to pat each other's backs. i still dominate the field. how come ? |
10:36 |
mircea_popescu |
apparently this can be done. |
10:36 |
mircea_popescu |
way the fuck easier to do in a small country with a coherent culture, too. |
10:36 |

since you can by design make zero-delta bets, and since the fee is 1%... bitbet is partly the reason why mixer services sort-of died last year, i'd guess. |

KRS1 |
In reference to "You Can Raise It But You Can't Spend It". Whats wrong with a company sticking to their business plan, soliciting for $X amount of funds, receiving it in bitcoin, converting it to fiat? Then the proper execution of the business plan can take place with the investment model of using bitcoins for funding. If the value of bitcoins goes up or down, it does not matter. The |
15:35 |
KRS1 |
company seeking investment isn't buying their goods/services in bitcoin and they've properly funded their venture. If they cannot meet their goals using the solicited funds thats another problem entirely. |
15:36 |
mircea_popescu |
KRS1 the entire thing revolves around the empirical observation that companies which did not spend their ipo funds outperformed companies that did spend them, without exception. |
15:36 |
mike_c |
the problem is that the company is then competing with the BTC/fiat ROI |
15:36 |
mircea_popescu |
this is ultimately a problem of btc, of course, but still. financial analysis is what it is. |
15:36 |
KRS1 |
And if the market price tanked without rebounding? |
15:37 |
mircea_popescu |
well then that'd be exactly the reverse |

"This creation of a new city, piled on top of the massive tribute owed to the Persians, as well as the necessary donative to the army to secure its acceptance of his accession, meant Philip was desperately short of money. To pay for it, he ruthlessly increased levels of taxation, while at the same time he ceased paying subsidies to the tribes north of the Danube that were vital for keeping the peace on the frontiers." |

no one would agree to it, additionally no companies would be willing to pay their employees entirely denominated in bitcoin without caveats that would essentially link it to fiat |
16:50 |
mircea_popescu |
we just went through this with herbi yest. |
16:50 |

bitbet fee revenue was higher in Q4 2013 than Q3 2013 despite massive BTC appreciation |

16:52 |

The only hope that I have looking forward, the reason investors back us is because our company can arbitage low interest rates in fiat to then repay them in a manner that *hopefully* will outpace bitcoin |

new bets will be smaller |

then engotiate a price. that's a month or two |
16:54 |

then you do the paperwork etc. |

there's your 90 days |
16:54 |
ThickAsThieves |
or, I buy TSLA at 165 and sell at 185 |
16:55 |
mircea_popescu |
yeah but see, the convenience of financial speculation is built on some people actually doing operations at some point. |
16:55 |
mircea_popescu |
kinda their problems we're discussing |
16:55 |

indeed, TSLA did not actually become $20 more valuable in a few days |

Much of the noise in the liberal American internet revolves around making people feel good by talking about things they think are bad and raising the consciousness in a futile quest to change the world by talking.

KRS1 |
Companies typically launch an IPO to raise funds, along with a business plan, to bring a particular product or service to market with the intent on making a profit. Why shouldn't a company raise funds for X amount of BTC, cash it in for fiat? According to the business plan, the investment should request $X dollars for Y project. As long as the funds are matched, and everything falls |
17:48 |
KRS1 |
into place, the rest is trivial. IPO's are not meant to capitalize and profit directly from investment money. |
17:48 |
mircea_popescu |
IPO's are not meant to capitalize and profit directly from investment money. << ?! what ?! |
17:49 |
mike_c |
in bitcoinlandia, there are 2 types of ipos |
17:49 |
KRS1 |
That money is to be used for the particular product or service mentioned in the business plan, right? Or do companies reinvest the money raised from the IPO and make that grow? |
17:49 |
mircea_popescu |
in general a share placement capitalises the corp. that capital is then deployed. |
17:49 |
mircea_popescu |
this system whereby corps announce what they intend to use the money for is rare irl. |
17:50 |
kakobrekla |
more common in croudfunding shit |
17:50 |
KRS1 |
The capital is deployed is key here. |
17:50 |
kakobrekla |
which is what btc ipos are |
17:50 |
kakobrekla |
only they are croudscamming |
17:50 |
mike_c |
well, so is most fiat crowdfunding too |
17:50 |
KRS1 |
The IPO funds should not be reinvested and grown further, they should be used to fund the project mentioned in the business plan right? |
17:50 |
mircea_popescu |
KRS1 yes. the company, once capitalised, has a fiduciary duty to deploy capital efficiently. |
17:51 |
KRS1 |
So a bitcoin IPO is very different than fiat IPO? |
17:51 |
mircea_popescu |
efficiently means it will see positive returns above the risk free rate |
17:51 |
KRS1 |
Right, and thats what I'm having a problem with. |

Why can't the company cash in the BTC to fund the project? |

Once you reach yor capitalisation goal, why can't yo ujust move on and mature the IPO as discussed in the business plan? The idea is not to make money off the initial investment, its to make money according to the business plan. |

Its perfectly fine to cash in btc for fiat at the time because $X dollar investment has been reached to launch business operations. |
18:01 |
mircea_popescu |
KRS1 that you don't want to buy a house on fire at the list price. |
18:02 |
mircea_popescu |
let them either put the fire out or else let the fire run out and see what it's worth |

You have to purchase at some point though..time is money. |

KRS1 |
mice_c: Investment funds are requested using an IPO based on a business plan. If you never execute it and expecting your capital to fund the business, thats a big problem. |

KRS1 but looky, what officers do is make calls. |
18:06 |
mircea_popescu |
some of them make good calls, some of them make bad calls. |
18:06 |
ThickAsThieves |
just state in your plan your bitcoin strat |
18:06 |
mircea_popescu |
this is the substance of the ipo |
18:06 |
mircea_popescu |
not some "business plan", that's not how ipos work |
18:06 |
mircea_popescu |
that's how board meetings work, where the board selects ceos |
18:06 |
KRS1 |
Its an intriguing problem, but if the IPO is never launched and the business keeps investing the initial investment funds, which is risky, then this is idiotic imo. |
18:07 |
mircea_popescu |
i guess in retrospect this is yet another one of those places where naive "financiers" of the glbse troop confused discting things cause well, what did they know |
18:07 |

KRS1 if you dont want bitcoin exposure, GET THE FUCK OUT OF BITCOIN |
18:07 |
ThickAsThieves |
so mp, he has a point you should elaborate on |
18:07 |
mircea_popescu |
KRS1 well sure. but in principle, yeah, if you don't trust a unit of account it's saner for you not to hold it at all |
18:07 |
KRS1 |
kakobrekla I think you are missing what I'm saying..sorry if I wasn't clear.. |
18:07 |
mircea_popescu |
than to invest in corps that use it but have foreign assets. |
18:07 |
ThickAsThieves |
what specifically IS your recommendation on how a bitcoin-funded op spends |
18:08 |
mircea_popescu |
for instance : if you think the dollar is going to shit, you're better off buying euro, than buying Ford shares on the thinking that ford does business in yurp |
18:08 |
mircea_popescu |
at least grosso modo speaking |
18:08 |
benkay |
hey mircea_popescu Ubitex looks like it beat Skepsidyne to listing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6838.0 |
18:08 |
KRS1 |
ThickAsThieves: My recommendation is simple...if the IPO requests $X amount of dollars to fund project Y, convert BTC to fiat and execute the business plan accordingly to yeield project Y. Simple. Don't reinvest investment dollars. Thats stupid. |
18:08 |
mircea_popescu |
o hey yes. benkay. "Shares are not securities." lolzy |
18:09 |
kakobrekla |
they are indeed insecurities, mostly. |
18:09 |
mike_c |
ThickAsThieves: a btc-funded op should spend its money to make more bitcoin. like to bankroll just-dice. |
18:09 |
ThickAsThieves |
like if S.MG has a fiat expense, what, youre gonna rob shareholders? |
18:09 |
mircea_popescu |
KRS1 "if the IPO requests $X amount of dollars to fund project Y" contradicts " convert BTC to fiat" |
18:10 |
ThickAsThieves |
we're kinda saying all spending of bitcoin is bad business, right? |
18:10 |
mike_c |
yes |
18:11 |
mircea_popescu |
we're saying that the quick increase in the btc rate puts responsible, competent ceos in the position where they forego fiat deployments |
18:11 |
mircea_popescu |
this is a major problem for bitcoin atm. |
18:11 |
KRS1 |
But you have to spend it to make anything happen. |
18:11 |
ThickAsThieves |
atm, or forever? |
18:11 |
mircea_popescu |
no argument. which is why it's a problem. |
18:11 |
mircea_popescu |
ThickAsThieves hopefully it settles down. |
18:11 |
mike_c |
seems like s.nsa built cardano with 2% of their ipo funds |
18:12 |
ThickAsThieves |
such a waste! |
18:12 |
mircea_popescu |
mike_c well, there's only prototyping for one board reported yet, and moreover most of the cost is engineering time, which obviously doesn't show |
18:12 |
KRS1 |
You aren't launching an IPO in hopes to do business to reinvest investment funds. You are launching an IPO to do business according to the business plan of whatever business you are going into. BTC is irrelevant. |
18:12 |
mike_c |
yes, it doesn't show. but that's the point. you don't necessarily have to spend a lot to make progress. |
18:12 |
mircea_popescu |
seems a misrepresentation of what an ipo is. |
18:12 |
pankkake |
I don't know many businesses that end up doing what was planned at first |

I must be out of my mind for thinking logically here and believing an IPO and a business plan should work together to do exactly what they fucking say they are going to do. |

in which case i suppose if you take the beermoney and buy pot daddy has the recourse of wtf, i gave you that twenny for beer not for pot. |
18:17 |
mircea_popescu |
an ipo is more like, i am a carpenter, give me money to carpent. the investor has no recourse as to whether the carpenter buys a hammer or a saw, |
18:17 |
mircea_popescu |
and when exactly. |
18:17 |
mircea_popescu |
in short, being an actual ceo of an actual corp which does an actual ipo, you are a professional. |
18:18 |

similarly here : if you throw money around at some point good things may happen. just because marketeers imagine they have a monopoly on money beng thrown around |

"It would be neat if a (formerly) decent darknet market were to release their source code under an open source license. Some platform to build your darknet market on would be nice, rather than starting from scratch." |

because code = business. at least if you're a redditard. |

actually it's probably better to buy it than o mine it. |

seeing how buying costs the same, but also pumps it through the trade. |

another pm "May I ask what are your plans with this coin, are you gonna take it seriously ?" |
23:40 |
ThickAsThieves |
what does that even mean? |

What would my difference in behavior be if I were serious vs. not serious? |

the coin wouldn't exist vs the coin does exist |

it does matter. |

in fact, from a game theory perspective, the total dollar value of your comittment sets his maximum comitment in turn |

the discount rate of commitment is a market variable, roughly analoguous to the risk free rate in an economy |

So what if I post that I'll buy 10BTC worth when it lists on Cryptsy |
23:45 |
mircea_popescu |
i dunno, i'm guessing he may risk his 0.05 btc |
23:45 |
mircea_popescu |
if there's 200 of them it stabilizes |
23:45 |
mircea_popescu |
if there's 20k of them it explodes |

etc. |

im curious if you beat doge's estimated returns or not. |
23:46 |
mircea_popescu |
ie, whether you ever make 6 btc back, or if you make more. |

i'll need to pay someone to update the logo in the wallet once i get the source |

goes to show, spending 10 minutes on a logo is better than spending 4 minutes |
