I have never thought it needed before for anyone but can this guy get banned? Spamming every thread is over the top. Hey, if at any point you don't feel like you're too busy posting here, you might maybe update that site of yours. Maybe with rig pictures or something. GL. |

Proudly pointing out the fact that for the first time ever daily average trade turnover passed 1k BTC on MPEx.

There is likely 20+ ordered but suspect many don't want to reveal their expansion goals. This thread and the singles thread only represent a fraction of actual orders. I know of quite a few singles (> 50, not including all of my orders which I also have not reported) that are not reported in the other thread Shocking that diff has been dropping for ~1 month then, isn't it. I wonder if we'll go over 2mn by Q3 then. |

Wow so five by now, that's ~1% of total hash power. BFL's starting to make some real dents.

Wow, GLBSE surely now gets Bitcoins coming in like a medium sized exchange!
2231 valid bids, 2300.4182609 BTC in valid bids, average bid 1.031, 1500 shares end at 1.012 per share. Bids lower than that would currently not get filled (and there is a crazy amount of high bids already - the upper 1/3 of currently winning bids is above 1.06)
There are more bids in here than MtGox exchanged in BTC <--> EUR in the last 24h (~1600 BTC)!
I guess, I'll just take my chances next week and hope for a lower price when the excitement might have cooled down a bit... Or alternatively, buy @70-80 cents to the dollar (and thus make 70% at the end of the month). Not to mention 4.7 kBTC actual volume > 2.3 kBTC of "maybe" volume. |

Amusingly enough the Burt Wagner syndicate stepped down their offering so the bond is already in distress at around 75% of par (that's ~2500 basis points down from last night, or an implied interest rate of ~70%). Some of the easiest money anyone ever made in BTC.

An OTC rating would really be helpful.

Ok, now I know you're just trolling. Let me point out to you, Meni Rosenfeld, that throughout this thread I have been speaking as to facts. You have been speaking as to persons. But now it sounds like Pirate could default, run away with all of the deposited funds and make extra money from the options (held by a collaborator or fake account).
Now I think this is a very bad idea as it encourages default. Exactly. A very well run scam, benefiting from the naivite of a circlejerk made out of people who misrepresent (especially to themselves) both their skills and their reach. This is in fact a texbook case of how a well run Ponzi goes. Affinity fraud includes investment frauds that prey upon members of identifiable groups, such as religious or ethnic communities, language minorities, the elderly, or professional groups. The fraudsters who promote affinity scams frequently are – or pretend to be – members of the group. They often enlist respected community or religious leaders from within the group to spread the word about the scheme, by convincing those people that a fraudulent investment is legitimate and worthwhile. Many times, those leaders become unwitting victims of the fraudster's ruse. From the everhelpful wikipediaThe currently intended scale of the offering will be such that the additional incentive, compared to Pirate's existing holdings, is negligible. Yes, a negligible initiative to pretend like it's doing what it's not, all the while accomplishing the exact opposite. You should be in politics. |

Haha this is pretty cool. Given that there's ~6 different teams working to bring MPEx broker sites online pretty much everyone here is astounded that the first brokerage open is actually pen-on-paper so to speak.
Brendio, Mr. P has changed your OTC rating to reflect support of this effort. Good luck to you.

You're pretty much describing some sort of mining fund.

It's... hm. It's a meta-reference, let us say!

No, actually, they're pretty much done with February.

I remember this thread from back mid-March, when the BFL was no longer wanted and people thought I was being belligerent for no reason. A well, good times.

@ Copumpkin and Brendio: Of course, if you have 4 BTC or more to venture, you can borrow some shares.
|
|
|
|
Suggestion: Can you put the USD equivalents next to the option quotes (without making it too cluttered?) and also add the current BTC/USD price?
No reference to any fiat currencies will ever be included on MPEx. |

Meni is correct that your offering is nothing like what he has stated in his OP. We agree on that, in the sense that what he has stated in his OP is not an offer. However, it purports to (maybe, one day) be what the MPEx offer actually is, hence the contention. |

To clarify for the many that have asked (sorry for not having put it in here from the beginning): In order to borrow these shares you will need collateral equal to their maximal maturity value (ie, 0.00128000 BTC per share). This collateral is held as an escrow and you are immediately given the corresponding share block. On the asset destruction you will receive the part of collateral due to you (ie, all or part of it in case of credit event, none of it otherwise). Note that collateral will have to be a BTC integer, which means you can only get multiples of 3125 share blocks (each worth 4 BTC of collateral). There isn't unfortunately an automated means to process all this yet, so you will have to make your request in pm or IRC (#bitcoin-otc-eu). Obviously means you will have to have sufficient funds in your account at the moment you make the request, so please make sure you've already deposited if you need to. If your account is margined (see that discussion) you can use any portion of your margin for this without restriction. |
