00:50 mike_c hm, interesting. a week ago the btc/usd 7 day volatility was the highest its been since August 2011
00:50 mike_c i know, that is interesting!
00:51 mike_c thanks, i thought so too.
00:54 nubbins` http://bitbet.us/bet/635/1btc-10-000-usd/
00:54 ozbot BitBet - 1BTC >= $10,000 USD
00:55 mike_c somebody caught on to the trick. dump a bunch of money in early and kill the late guys. a good move.
00:57 mike_c oh wait, "somebody" :) http://bitbet.us/stats/1K4FswVNus5xJZJ6TYqAzWSy3tXBBFdGnM/
00:58 chsados mike_c: what is he doing exactly?
00:58 mike_c you get a bunch of money in early, at a high weight.
00:58 mike_c when more money comes in late, at a low weight, you make money.
00:59 chsados it seems like he is betting heavy on both sides though - how does that become profitable
00:59 mike_c if a lot of money comes in both sides it works out. if it goes heavily slanted one way the whole time, not so much.
01:00 mike_c or if there just isn't any action, then you'll lose out on the fees.
01:02 mike_c so it's basically a wager on "this bet will be popular"

07:52 ThickAsThieves all the "fancy words" are in quotes like that
07:53 pankkake it's words from the evil faceless finance word
07:53 pankkake world
07:55 ThickAsThieves they even have "impact fees" in quotes, something this rag discusses often

08:26 Diablo-D3 you klnow
08:26 Diablo-D3 its kinda funny
08:26 Diablo-D3 Im richer than MP
08:26 truffles orly
08:26 Diablo-D3 he says he has thousands and thousands and thousands of bitcoins
08:26 Diablo-D3 I dont actually believe him
08:26 Diablo-D3 so going on what he makes on mpex, which is very little because no one uses it
08:26 truffles u want to prove ur wallet is bigger than his wallet lol
08:26 Diablo-D3 I am, in fact, richer than mp
08:27 truffles i wouldnt know about the traffic
08:27 Diablo-D3 truffles: bitcoin wallet only?
08:27 truffles oh i c
08:27 Diablo-D3 because he probably has more bitcoins than me atm
08:27 Diablo-D3 I cashed out quite a few into dollars
08:28 truffles why do u have to prove u have more?
08:28 Diablo-D3 I dont
08:28 Diablo-D3 Im just tired of hearing him talk
08:28 truffles oh
08:28 Diablo-D3 Seriously, nobody cares how many slave women he has
08:28 truffles he is kinda polorizing maybe
08:28 Diablo-D3 (hint: he actually has zero, he says he has like three)
08:28 Diablo-D3 what the fuck would you even NEED 3 slave women for
08:29 Diablo-D3 the man only has one penis
08:29 mircea_popescu jesus who the fuck do i still have on ignore
08:29 truffles u sure, Rominia looks kinda poor
08:29 mircea_popescu i thought i cleared it
08:29 truffles Diablo-D3
08:29 Diablo-D3 mircea_popescu: me, you jackass
08:29 mircea_popescu oh
08:29 mircea_popescu maybe next year.
08:29 Diablo-D3 lol.
08:29 truffles haha
08:29 Diablo-D3 truffles: and this is why no one likes mircea_popescu
08:30 truffles rly, seems like he has bunch of fans in here
08:30 Diablo-D3 I wouldnt call them fans
08:30 Diablo-D3 more like people who tolerate him and also want slave women
08:30 TomServo Hearing about his slaves is a LOT more interesting that your paleo diet. Just sayin'.
08:30 truffles well the fact that they have to be slaves is kinda not cool imo
08:30 pankkake I like both paleo and slave women. which side do I chose?
08:31 Diablo-D3 pankkake: mmm bbqed slaves
08:31 truffles unless he's just saying theyre slaves..
08:31 Diablo-D3 truffles: they're not actually slaves
08:32 Diablo-D3 they're slaves in the bdsm sense
08:32 truffles ohh
08:32 Diablo-D3 seriously?
08:32 Diablo-D3 you didnt get that?
08:32 pankkake lol
08:32 truffles i think of human trafficing when its mentioned *blush*
08:32 Diablo-D3 dear God, no
08:33 Diablo-D3 he just has (well, says he has) a collection of women that like to be used and abused
08:33 truffles well then thats what theyre into..
08:33 mircea_popescu truffles whoi has to be a slave ?
08:33 Diablo-D3 whips, being tied up, getting brutally fucked, being kept in a cage when not in use, that sort of thing
08:34 truffles mp u bdsm women
08:34 truffles ur*
08:34 ThickAsThieves mp you could solve your ignore problem by adding truffles too
08:34 truffles kinda dont have sympathy for ppl who chose it though
08:34 ThickAsThieves since he's the only one taking D3 seriously
08:34 truffles its what they want
08:34 Diablo-D3 ThickAsThieves: wtf man
08:35 mircea_popescu this is true... but i got the spirit of xmas earlier
08:35 ThickAsThieves lol
08:35 Diablo-D3 ThickAsThieves: so what, you actually think he actually bought slave women?
08:35 truffles TAT ure so mean
08:35 ThickAsThieves D3 it is absolutely inconsequential to me what MP does for his personal life
08:35 Diablo-D3 I mean, if he actually HAS bought slaves, I know a guy at interpol
08:36 ThickAsThieves i'm feeling grinchy...
08:36 truffles TAT what is your problem with me and Diablo-D3
08:37 mircea_popescu anyway, nobody has to be a slave. it's a voluntary arrangement, and it has its advantages. chief among which that you're about 10x as quick to learn as a slave.
08:37 ThickAsThieves I think that was the first "mean" accusation for me, have I really made it?
08:37 Diablo-D3 he doesnt like fine chocolates or evil incarnate
08:38 truffles TAT snarky > mean
08:38 mircea_popescu pls spell it "snarky", like "futures"
08:39 ThickAsThieves i remember being in grade school having to write little page about Christmas,
08:39 ThickAsThieves I put Santa Claus in quotes like that
08:40 truffles Diablo-D3 what have u done to make u evil?
08:40 ThickAsThieves and the teacher marked it up, and said it might imply that i dont think Santa is real
08:40 ThickAsThieves well...
08:41 Diablo-D3 ThickAsThieves: wow
08:41 Diablo-D3 you could have been rich
08:41 Diablo-D3 you could have sued the school for forcing religious doctrine on you
08:41 ThickAsThieves ...
08:42 ThickAsThieves i was also going to Catechism at that age
08:42 pankkake which religion is santa?
08:42 pankkake capitalism?
08:42 ThickAsThieves so kinda stupid to make religion accusations
08:42 ThickAsThieves CocaColaism
08:42 truffles so ure atheist as an adult
08:43 jurov` I don't believe in Santa Claus. We had Ded Moroz from Siberia instead.
08:43 ThickAsThieves atheism is too narrow a term
08:43 truffles agnostic?
08:43 ThickAsThieves the wonders of the universe remain unexplained
08:44 Diablo-D3 I believe God is a scientist.
08:44 Diablo-D3 Im that kind of guy
08:44 truffles after some years the science changes..
08:44 pankkake I believe I am God, you're just part of my imagination
08:45 ThickAsThieves "the more I study science, the more I believe in God"
08:45 ThickAsThieves who said that
08:45 truffles i only know teh "I think, therefore I am."
08:45 ThickAsThieves Einstein
08:46 Diablo-D3 ThickAsThieves: Einstein was a very smart man, hes very underappreciated
08:46 truffles overappreciated imo
08:46 ThickAsThieves probly one of my "if you could have lunch with anyone" targets
08:46 truffles did he steal some of his discoveries?...
08:47 truffles id pick Tesla
08:47 ThickAsThieves "Good artists borrow, great artists steal"
08:47 ThickAsThieves who said that
08:47 asciilifeform herr jobs
08:47 ThickAsThieves Picasso, baby
08:48 truffles oh thought it was Neal Caffrey
08:48 ThickAsThieves lol
08:50 ThickAsThieves "Neoteny is not necessarily limited to physical features however. Currently, a large minority with perhaps a view of soon becoming majority of English speaking adults exhibit psychological neoteny, the sad state wherein their body has long reached maturity while their mind is still continuing adolescence"
08:50 ThickAsThieves i assumed this to be majority prevelent for quite some time
08:51 ThickAsThieves like Amy sorta
08:51 ThickAsThieves people just frozen in grade/high school
08:51 ThickAsThieves mentally
08:51 Diablo-D3 yeah
08:51 Diablo-D3 but thats because high school is broken
08:52 Diablo-D3 its psychological damage inflicted by the state to make good workers
08:52 Diablo-D3 problem is, we dont need workers
08:52 Diablo-D3 we need free thinkers
08:52 Diablo-D3 as many as possible
08:52 ThickAsThieves oh god no
08:52 ThickAsThieves have you seen all the free thinkers on reddit?
08:53 pankkake aren't they all in school?
08:53 Diablo-D3 ThickAsThieves: I said free thinkers, not faggots with too much karma
08:53 ThickAsThieves 35 and in school, probly
08:54 Diablo-D3 reddit is pure faggotry, I dont know how people stand it
08:54 truffles u hate gays too
08:54 truffles dam
08:55 Diablo-D3 truffles: I neither hate nor like gays
08:55 Diablo-D3 I find their taste in men to be strange.
08:55 truffles Diablo-D3 then id like to know what u consider normal
08:56 Diablo-D3 truffles: boobs and a vagina.
08:56 Diablo-D3 truffles: btw, you were supposed to say "whats wrong with their taste in men"
08:56 truffles whats wrong with it
08:57 Diablo-D3 they have one
08:58 truffles i try not to judge
08:58 truffles the former christian in me :)
08:58 Diablo-D3 truffles: if you want to participate in the comedy, you need to learn when someone is trying to setup a joke
08:59 Diablo-D3 heh, the christian in me is fine with people being gay
08:59 ThickAsThieves question, why does nethash measurement vary so greatly among measurers?
08:59 Diablo-D3 as long as they treat their partner with a respect and be part of the community and, well, not have AIDS
08:59 Diablo-D3 Im totally okay with it
08:59 pankkake reddit common beliefs: 1) we are a nice community 2) academia teaches you everything you need 3) fedoras are cool
08:59 Diablo-D3 just please, no bearded men kissing
08:59 pankkake what measurers?
08:59 Diablo-D3 just dont do it
08:59 Diablo-D3 pankkake: 3 is true, btw
08:59 Diablo-D3 fedoras arent cool

09:01 pankkake bitcoinwisdow says "last 504 blocks", don't know for others
09:01 ThickAsThieves why dont they all at least note an estimate based on blocks solved since last diff?
09:02 pankkake well that's not really *current* nethash then
09:02 mircea_popescu pankkake fedoras are kinda cool tho
09:02 ThickAsThieves well certainly relevant no?

09:03 ThickAsThieves is that gribble's source?

09:08 ThickAsThieves it wasnt 5.6
09:08 ThickAsThieves it was like 5
09:09 mircea_popescu maybe it's rolling window past 2 weeks ?
09:09 ThickAsThieves it must be an arbitray sample time
09:09 ThickAsThieves yeah
09:09 ThickAsThieves arbitrary*
09:10 mircea_popescu anyway, the chances to find the actual nethash within an arbitrary precision are a function of that precision.
09:10 ThickAsThieves either way, I'd appreciate it if miners kept it to less than 1PH added in the next 3 weeks :)
09:11 mircea_popescu o wow shiot look at that, 25%
09:11 mircea_popescu dude you're toast.
09:11 ThickAsThieves i accepted that risk at the time
09:11 ThickAsThieves havent given up hope though
09:11 ThickAsThieves 1PH is a lot to add
09:12 mircea_popescu well yeah it's far from cut and dried yet
09:12 ThickAsThieves hoping this was a burst
09:12 mircea_popescu tbh it looked unlikely.
09:13 ThickAsThieves I guess I might have to forgo that new Buick
09:13 ThickAsThieves hehe
09:16 dexX7 you're dumping your gpus and started to buy asics?
09:17 ThickAsThieves me? no way
09:17 ThickAsThieves mining sux
09:18 kakobrekla not it blows
09:18 kakobrekla hot air
09:18 dexX7 hehe
09:18 ThickAsThieves there is no blowing without sucking
09:19 ThickAsThieves other than maybe those Dyson fans
09:21 dexX7 i bought some gpus, but i somehow feel like a sucker, because now is probably the best time to resell that stuff.. maybe i'll even do likewise before it arrives. a 7950 on ebay is worth 250-300+ eur here :D
09:22 kakobrekla O_o
09:23 mircea_popescu 300 euros ?! wtf.
09:23 mircea_popescu it's an old card.
09:23 kakobrekla apparently euro is not worth anything any more
09:24 dexX7 older, yes, but hash/watt efficient
09:24 dexX7 hehe
09:24 pankkake and they're not made anymore
09:25 mircea_popescu but i mean... wait, they;re not being bought to be used as gamingdevices ?
09:25 mircea_popescu people still buythem to mine ?

09:30 mircea_popescu so basically if asics had never happened, bitcoin diff would be 10k
09:30 pankkake yeah. and dead
09:31 mircea_popescu is anyone fpga-ing litecoin yet ?

09:44 ThickAsThieves i have a google killer idea i dont have the means to implement
09:45 TomServo Huh. Evidently. First among 51 results when searching via proxy for me.
09:45 ThickAsThieves i debated writing it all up and doing a kickstarter, but i truly wnat nothing to do with running a search co
09:45 ThickAsThieves maybe wtite it up and slel it to Yahoo
09:45 ThickAsThieves and hire a copy editor too
09:45 ThickAsThieves hehe
09:46 mircea_popescu TomServo i suppose if you're going to censor, this is actually the correct approach : block specific searches, but index the material.
09:46 mircea_popescu this way actual researchers can still do their work, and it remains accessible to those deemed "legitimate" of the public,
09:47 mircea_popescu not so unlike how universities worked since abour 1200
09:47 ThickAsThieves "That feature has lead to an inflationary bubble in bitcoin-to-dollar trading, with prices fluctuating largely from one day to the next. As fewer bitcoins become available through mining, new entrants in the market may be limited, making it more difficult for the currency to increase its overall float."
09:47 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves : http://trilema.com/2013/bitcoin-prices-bitcoin-inflexibility/
09:47 ThickAsThieves "The increasing cost of relaying transactions may end up making the currency too expensive to manage outside of a small group of users. "

09:54 ThickAsThieves "One of them is that consumers yield and submit, Bitcoin goes to somewhere in the thousand dollars per range and there’s a rush to move society away from the dysfunctional standard. Banks start taking Bitcoin deposits, Bitcoin hedge funds pop up everywhere..."

12:11 nubbins` dexX7: wasn't sure what else to call them, also, you'd need to be full retard to assume it contains value
12:11 nubbins` gotta draw the line somewhere, otherwise you end up having your description read "DO NOT heat this coin with a blowtorch for a half hour and lay it on the tip of your penis" etc
12:12 dexX7 well i rather think the buy just has no clue
12:13 dexX7 "it's a bitcoin, i want it"
12:13 nubbins` shrug, there's only so much i can do

12:14 nubbins` i tried to retard-proof it as best i could
12:15 nubbins` and i have, in fact, had a few people cancel their bids
12:15 dexX7 the only misleading line is "physical bitcoin" imo
12:15 dexX7 though people tried similar stuff earlier.. like selling "iphone box without iphone inside" and got burned

12:41 nubbins` well yeah, you're just moving it up a level
12:41 mircea_popescu the idea is to be fiat rich and just take the losses.
12:42 thestringpuller fiat rich is so 1800's
12:42 nubbins` now they're immediately cashing out for fiat too, because the cotton farms don't accept btc
12:42 thestringpuller nubbins`: you can always store profits in btc
12:42 ThickAsThieves yes but if you get vendors accepting, you start creating a closed loop
12:42 nubbins` too true, and in fact we do
12:42 ThickAsThieves and that coin maybe never becomes fiat
12:42 nubbins` tat, too true, it's a hard sell tho
12:43 thestringpuller yea so if you store your profits in coin, and liquidate coins to pay expenses no payable directly by btc what does it really matter?

14:29 assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 150 @ 0.00247999 = 0.372 BTC [-] {2}
14:29 mircea_popescu pankkake you know, i should prolly have pr make a trhead, MPOE BONDS LOST 3K LAST MONTH~!11 plz donate.
14:30 pankkake who's crazy enough to fund these?
14:30 mircea_popescu pankkake i think some of the older people with actual wallets send a little just out of sheer trollery
14:30 mircea_popescu say a bitcent or w/e
14:32 jborkl Mechs is trying to sell his just-dice acct, the investor balance is -478 ~
14:32 kakobrekla lolwat

14:32 mircea_popescu !jd
14:32 assbot Just-Dice stat: 8816 BTC profit, 50.8k BTC invested, 315.35 mio bets, 4.55 mio BTC wagered
14:32 jborkl yeah, so the first 478 of profit is non commision
14:33 mircea_popescu ah ah
14:33 mircea_popescu so the value there is 1% of 478 btc minus whatever discount ?
14:33 mircea_popescu this is more than the average car.
14:33 assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 60 @ 0.00247999 = 0.1488 BTC [-]
14:33 jborkl 10% i think is the commision rate
14:33 mircea_popescu o they hiked it ?
14:33 mircea_popescu then it's definitely more than the average car.
14:33 jborkl yeah, a few months ago
14:34 jborkl so ~48 btc
14:34 mircea_popescu wait. it stands at ~9k profit with 10% fees?!
14:34 mircea_popescu o wait nm, the 10% out of the 1% huh.
14:34 jborkl yes
14:35 jborkl so, it would require a large investment to make it worth buying for any amount
14:35 jborkl so, not a bad deal for that scenario

14:37 pankkake can we just switch to mbtc?
14:37 benkay satoshis.

14:38 mircea_popescu that was fast.

14:38 BingoBoingo Fuck, let's switch to mSatoshis and have the media talk about how much Bitcoin crashed
14:38 mircea_popescu pankkake looky. some people think mpex is inaccesible and so go flock on btctctetc

14:39 pankkake but you need one mpex
14:39 mircea_popescu who doesn't need a bitcoin ?
14:39 jborkl it is funny how people still bitch about the way MPEX looks
14:39 mircea_popescu is this going to be some sort of "all you need is love" thing ?
14:39 mike_c is mechs trustworthy? no wot with that name.

14:41 mircea_popescu mike_c they do this thing where they announce a "starting bid" but it's not the actual starting bid
14:41 mircea_popescu i've seen this.
14:42 jborkl Mike, it does not matter if he is trustworthy- just have dooglus hold the escrow
14:42 mircea_popescu in this parallel universe you can have an auction with a "starting bid" of 1 and a "reserve" of 10 which means that unless it reaches 10 the item doesn't sell.
14:42 mike_c ok, thanks
14:42 pankkake well, that's the ebay universe
14:42 mike_c mircea_popescu: sometimes they take the reserve off if it isn't met
14:42 pankkake secret reserves are so annoying
14:42 mike_c so there can be value in bidding under the reserve
14:42 mircea_popescu mike_c should be a crime if you ask me.
14:43 mike_c yeah, its dumb
14:43 mircea_popescu anyway, i was once with this chick who actually lived off going to no name auctions
14:43 mircea_popescu and buying crap she resold in her shop and online
14:43 mircea_popescu i nearly fell over laughing, all the housewives being all business-serious and bidding a hundred on some lamp
14:44 mircea_popescu more like a tupperware party than an auction, but anyway.
14:44 pankkake well, she provides some convenience for buyers, it's valuable
14:44 pankkake once I bought a full pc, I accidentaly broke the motherboard, sold off the parts, got more money :|
14:44 kakobrekla lol
14:44 mircea_popescu pankkake the people filling captchas by hand also provide some convenience for some buyers.
14:44 mike_c pc arbitrage, nice.
14:45 kakobrekla you should break more stuff
14:45 mircea_popescu i'll beat that story : a major romanian retailer bought ~100 laptops off a competitor, which the competitor was selling discounted,
14:45 mircea_popescu to return on their own (more permissive) return policy.
14:45 pankkake but it's also how you sell it. if you're a trusted seller, have nice pics, description, it gets higher
14:45 mircea_popescu this was done by the actual owner packing the laptops in his own personal car.
14:46 mircea_popescu i think the total loot for this grand scheme was around 5k or so.
14:46 pankkake haha. that's why retailers usually put max orders and only allow individuals
14:46 mircea_popescu myeah. HP could simply not believe the story.
14:46 mircea_popescu "nigga, they did what ?!"
14:47 mircea_popescu anywya. there's definitely a living to be earned doing this sort of hussling.
14:47 mircea_popescu a lot of busywork it is.

14:55 benkay true of most real-world arbitrage
14:55 dexX7 hmmm https://www.bitrated.com/
14:56 mircea_popescu benkay depends. consider the famous case of the ltcm
14:56 stephengandel OK. So if I am going to short one bitcoin, or a fraction of a bitcoin, it makes more sense for me to go through a broker than do it with MPeX. Is that right?
14:56 kleeck http://www.nzweek.com/world/china/china-exclusive-china-detains-bitcoin-fraud-suspects-102598/
14:56 ozbot China Exclusive: China detains Bitcoin fraud suspects - NZweek
14:56 mircea_popescu o hey.
14:57 mircea_popescu stephengandel if your budged is in the bitcoin range, and your technical sophistication low you are best served by a bitcoin.
14:57 mircea_popescu think of mpex as the nyse, which is what it is. for most purposes you won't acquire a seat in the pit.
14:57 mike_c *served by a broker
14:57 mircea_popescu mike_c oops right.
14:57 stephengandel gotcha
14:58 BingoBoingo stephengandel: Yup. Coinbr, the broker does their opions on MPEx. As Mircea says though just holding the bitcoin may be the wiser course of action.
14:58 mircea_popescu "A 29-year-old suspect surnamed Liu allegedly began operating GBL trading platform on May 27 of this year, according to police in Dongyang City in east China’s Zhejiang Province."
14:58 mircea_popescu kleeck kickass.
14:58 kleeck :)
14:58 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo if he expects a drop then holding the bitcoin isn't particularly wise.
14:59 kleeck Hope to soon have a similar article involving Armandi and Tatti. :D
14:59 stephengandel gotcha. Will give it a try and let you know how it goes.
14:59 stephengandel Do you think bitcoins will drop?
14:59 mircea_popescu stephengandel you can also review the mpex monthly reports to see about how option trading has fared historically. a count of sold/bought contracts by the bot is provided in each
14:59 dexX7 they were quite fast. shut down oct 26, not even 2 months later some results
14:59 mircea_popescu stephengandel someone sold a lot of calls short yesterday, right before the drop.
14:59 benkay stephengandel: this is a channel of people who expect bitcoin to be the world reserve currency.
14:59 mircea_popescu it proved do be only temporary, they may end up with a loss.
15:00 mircea_popescu it's a very volatile market.
15:00 mircea_popescu dexX7 if the chinese also shoot them, i'll be very impressed.
15:00 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Of course. In daytrading adventures though I was burned in february waiting for a crash or Flashcrash that never happened. Nao I hedge and bet to hedge, but largely hold things.

15:17 mircea_popescu so here's a random thought : about a year and a half ago i bought a pair of bitcoin engraved cufflinks from a guy that did a custom cufflink run
15:17 mircea_popescu they're nothing special, brass, kinda nice.
15:17 mircea_popescu they cost, i find reviewing my records, 3 btc and 25 cents.
15:18 kakobrekla yep
15:18 mircea_popescu this brass has cost me about 2 grams of gold per gram.
15:18 mircea_popescu by BingoBoingo's 2015 megaparty they'd better be diamond studded and made out of frozen panda tears.
15:19 kakobrekla and i drive half a mio usd car.
15:19 mircea_popescu well at least it has injection.
15:20 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: I imagine by 2022 on the 10th anniversary of MPEx the diamonds would be synthesized from the panda tears.
15:20 mircea_popescu but yeah, wait until bentley figures out that there's these dudes who routinely pay 500k for a car and don't even expect it to fly.
15:20 BingoBoingo kakobrekla: I've always preferred the 500 usd cars. It's hard to feel guilty when you make them fly.
15:21 mircea_popescu actually... we should probably count our blessings. once the rest of the world figures out there's billionaires hanging out on irc kakobrekla will be spending his days doing nothing but banning salesmen in here.

16:35 mircea_popescu in completely unrelated news,
16:35 mircea_popescu "By making their product or artwork display neotenous traits, designers attempt to sway people to enjoy or desire their product because it appears childish, adorable, soft or otherwise desirable. By making a product cute, the nucleus accumbens in the human brain is targeted and elicits a protective or coddling response, which encourages an individual to acquire (purchase) said item. By designing items, characters, food
16:35 mircea_popescu or anything else in this manner, product designers attempt to create the same reaction to a product that a human baby could create."
16:35 BingoBoingo This describes S.NSA http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.NSA
16:35 mircea_popescu so basically designers should be round up and shot.

18:12 mircea_popescu it's about you.
18:12 snackman mircea_popescu: ok hold on
18:13 ThickAsThieves the oglaf guy has some good stuff
18:14 snackman mircea_popescu: nice cartoon, also nice post btw
18:14 snackman is that you in the header picture?
18:14 mircea_popescu yes.
18:14 ThickAsThieves it's jurov of course
18:14 mircea_popescu aw shit. caught in my own web of lies
18:15 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves it's a woman!
18:15 ThickAsThieves it's just a pyramid
18:15 ThickAsThieves calm down
18:15 mircea_popescu no i mean the oglaf GUY. it's a girl.
18:15 ThickAsThieves ah ha!
18:15 ThickAsThieves that explains a lot
18:15 mircea_popescu so rarely women do anything worth the mention. why rob them of the little they do.
18:15 snackman well, mircea_popescu, sorry but i can't get it out of my head: *why* do you not want to pay me my 10btc back. please just explain it to me in a calm and rational way
18:16 ThickAsThieves i was just like wow this dude is very progressive with these gay frames
18:16 mircea_popescu snackman actually, there was a post about that, too. didja read that ?
18:16 snackman mircea_popescu: i did.
18:16 mircea_popescu well that's about it.
18:17 snackman mircea_popescu: i'm listening to what you have to say. that post developed into a bashfest
18:17 kakobrekla as all the roads lead to rome, all the questions lead to trilema
18:17 mircea_popescu the trirome!
18:17 kakobrekla and the roastions
18:18 ThickAsThieves trirome, pronounced like tyranny
18:18 mircea_popescu no, like tryrammy.
18:18 mircea_popescu like thrice rammed.
18:18 ThickAsThieves when in rome
18:18 snackman mircea_popescu: i'm still listening. you are wasting my precious time
18:19 mircea_popescu you got that a little backwards neh ?
18:19 ThickAsThieves we're all wasting each other precious time, dont give him all the credit
18:19 mircea_popescu no homo.
18:19 snackman mircea_popescu: you might wanna look up megalomania then
18:20 ThickAsThieves surely he has it tatooed on his penis
18:20 mircea_popescu i was thinking... this guy's theory is that i simultaneously invented the thing and also don't know what it is ?!
18:21 dub megalomania is an awesome old RTS game
18:21 ThickAsThieves snackman, why did you bet so late
18:21 snackman mircea_popescu: so then tell me, why are your genes contaminated by sub-human east european scum parents?
18:21 mircea_popescu o.o
18:21 dub fast bux are the best bux derp
18:21 snackman ThickAsThieves: because i wanted to make the most out of it
18:21 snackman yeah
18:21 mircea_popescu don't they teach debate in school anymore ?!
18:22 ThickAsThieves make the most loss out of it?
18:22 dub did he just call mp a nigger?
18:22 snackman mircea_popescu: at least we have schools here :)
18:22 Duffer1 cancelled due to budget cuts mp :P
18:22 mircea_popescu i think i should be insulted by being related to the hottest chicks on planet earth or something
18:22 snackman for everybody, not just the overprivileged party members
18:22 snackman mircea_popescu: nah, i don't think that
18:22 mircea_popescu where's that mit video
18:22 Duffer1 if it's not football it's not funded
18:22 jamespeerless does bitbet have a minimum bet? seems like they'd lose money on transaction fees if I don't bet much?
18:23 snackman mircea_popescu: tbh, it's kinda hard to debate an online nickname that has taken 10btc from you and tries to keep it using "arguments"
18:23 mircea_popescu jamespeerless no minimum bet so far.
18:23 mircea_popescu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ve23i5K334 <<
18:23 ozbot MIT genuises with lightbulb - YouTube
18:23 snackman truffles: he took my btcs
18:23 Bunnyh is the NO on bitbet charts really gray? seems teal to me
18:23 mircea_popescu Bunnyh im colorblind.
18:23 truffles why'd he take em snackman?
18:23 Bunnyh ok,i thought i am
18:24 mircea_popescu snackman it's not a nickname dood. that's my name.
18:25 mircea_popescu jamespeerless the reason is that we're oldfags, which means rich, which means with a lot of old coinbases, which means tx are free. or something.
18:25 jamespeerless what do you mean? why would they be free
18:26 mircea_popescu the prioritization of txs takes into account the concept of "bitcoin days destroyed"
18:26 mircea_popescu that's the product of a coinbase's volume with its age.
18:26 snackman truffles: because my transaction was not confirmed in time
18:26 snackman truffles: it was placed on the correct bet though
18:26 mircea_popescu so if you have 1k btc that weren't moved for 3 years, you get about 1mn times the priority of a 1btc that was moved yest.
18:26 jamespeerless got it
18:26 jamespeerless makes sense
18:27 truffles snackman gotta read fine prints
18:27 mircea_popescu in principle it's good for the network to keep moving coins around, i suspect.
18:27 kakobrekla imo just bigger chain
18:27 mircea_popescu or at least satoshi thought so for some reason.
18:27 kakobrekla why
18:27 kakobrekla where
18:27 mircea_popescu it's one of the points i don't quite grasp tbh
18:28 snackman truffles: they weren't, they were FAQs, and i never agreed to them, also this particular clause was *surprising*, therefore not applicable for yet another reason
18:28 mircea_popescu kakobrekla well because of the particular design, seems implicit in it.
18:28 ThickAsThieves Hey MP, how bout a compromise, put "Late Bets Will Be Retained" or such on the Send Bitcoins page of bitbet
18:28 snackman mircea_popescu is only not returning them because he assumes that it is unlikely that i will sue him in romania
18:28 truffles so ur situation was outside of terms ?
18:28 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves the problem with this approach is that 1. it empowers nonsense and 2. it bloats pages.
18:28 Vexual faqs are accepted to form contract
18:28 snackman truffles: yet, because the txn was sent before, it only arrived later because nobody confirmed it
18:28 dub interestingly educatoin in .us and .ro sucks somewhat equally
18:29 mike_c i always took the priority the opposite, that is - it is discouraging moving coins too much by giving recently spent coins lower priority
18:29 kakobrekla mircea_popescu not like you can mitigate it
18:29 snackman Vexual: yes, if they explicitely ask you to confirm them, which they didnt
18:29 dub though dumb romanians are smarter than dumb americans
18:29 snackman Vexual: also only if there are no surprising clauses
18:29 mircea_popescu mike_c when i say move coins around i mean, not have very old coinbases.
18:29 ThickAsThieves so you dont think "reasonable man" is a concept to consider?
18:29 snackman ?
18:29 ThickAsThieves a reasonable man would likely assume his bet would either be valid at the time of sending, or refunded at a fee
18:29 Vexual a reasonable man reads the contract
18:30 snackman mircea_popescu has forgotten the current btc price, making my loss around 12000 usd, making it more than worth pursing a lawyer. also for the satisfaction of seeing this bastard lose in court
18:30 truffles snackman i get what ure saying, id already have refunded u if it were my biz though, gl
18:30 ThickAsThieves a reasonable contract typically wouldnt have snares
18:30 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves a reasonable man would not send bitcoin on the basis of his assumptions.
18:30 snackman truffles: thanks.
18:30 mircea_popescu otherwise the reasonable man can start sending to random addresses.
18:30 snackman mircea_popescu: nice non sequitur
18:30 snackman mircea_popescu: and nice attempt derailing his point
18:31 ThickAsThieves do what you want, i;m just sayin youll likely have this problem continually
18:31 mike_c seriously, if it is such an important amount of money why didn't you do a little research first? doesn't that seem wrong to you at all?

18:31 snackman mike_c: there was not much time left
18:31 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves well, i'm doing what i think is right, and in so doing i'm preventing others from having the same sort of problem all the time.
18:31 mike_c right.. so you should not have done it.
18:31 snackman mike_c: also, i followed the basic rules: bet on what you think will win
18:31 mircea_popescu the space in which bitcoin busienss will happen is primarily shapen by what sort of precedent we create for it.
18:32 ThickAsThieves <mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves well, i'm doing what i think is right, and in so doing i'm preventing others from having the same sort of problem all the time. <<< fair enough
18:32 snackman mircea_popescu: you are a scum to the bitcoin economy and community
18:32 snackman mircea_popescu: you are but a leach, you are what is disgraceful in human beings
18:32 mircea_popescu snackman im the largest thing in it ya klutz.
18:32 ThickAsThieves snackman you would be a good diplomat
18:32 snackman ThickAsThieves: why?
18:32 mike_c snackman: can you settle a bet for me. have you placed any more bets on bitbet yet?
18:32 ThickAsThieves you have a way with words
18:32 snackman mircea_popescu: then why would 10btc matter to you?
18:33 ThickAsThieves he just said why
18:33 mike_c cmon snack, fess up. you've place more bets haven't you :)
18:33 ThickAsThieves because he feels his policy helps create the kind of world he wants to live in
18:33 snackman ThickAsThieves: why would i be a good diplomat?
18:33 ThickAsThieves you wouldnt
18:33 ThickAsThieves it's a joke
18:34 ThickAsThieves you suck at convincing people to help you
18:34 truffles i dont think u want him to be more convincing
18:34 mike_c i will send you 0.001 btc if you answer me. it will help you recover.
18:35 truffles thats a general you
18:35 Duffer1 whats all this drama now?

18:36 Duffer1 interesting
18:36 ThickAsThieves turbo_ac100, jurov`can help you, via coinbr.com
18:36 snackman mike_c: of course i have placed more bets afterwards on bidbet

18:37 snackman Duffer1: they are lying to keep my ONE MILLION cents
18:37 mike_c awwww, sweet, i win. post address and i will send the donation
18:37 snackman my address?
18:37 mike_c if you want the 0.0001 btc i promised
18:38 mike_c er, 0.001
18:38 Duffer1 i don't believe they would have to lie to keep your money, there must be something i'm missing
18:38 dub mike_c: make sure you pay the fee
18:38 mircea_popescu Duffer1 a 10 page forum thread
18:38 mike_c lol
18:38 Duffer1 not like my opinion matters at all in this anyways, i was just curious
18:38 Duffer1 erf, i'll pass, hehe
18:38 dub mike_c: might want to also check if snackman is the 1 person that doesnt require confirmations
18:39 snackman mike_c: 16TNs3DYjkGZrnEW4KV7ust6sWU3Esk7eW
18:39 mircea_popescu in 2020 mike_c will be all like "well sonny, i remember back in the old days, mp was there, and i sent this kid a whole bitcent on a lark"
18:39 mike_c hehe
18:39 dexX7 Duffer1: problem was actually that the bet was already resolved when his tx/bet was confirmed which - according to bitbet's faq - entitles bitbet to keep the coins
18:39 mircea_popescu "yeap. that's how it was back then..."
18:40 Vexual and the lawyer got paid a three yeart retainer on that one case...
18:40 jamespeerless mircea_popescu: do you know if sendmany only charges one transaction fee regardless of # of recipients?
18:41 Vexual one tx, one fee
18:41 mircea_popescu jamespeerless i knowandit does.
18:41 mircea_popescu andineed a newspacebar
18:42 jamespeerless what about the 'per kb' rules? i think i read somewhere that 5 recipients is about 1kb? any merit to that?
18:42 dub looking back on how much a trilemna page view cost should be fun
18:42 mircea_popescu jamespeerless the recipients aren't the problem. it's about 60 bytes per
18:43 mircea_popescu your inputs are often the problem, because 1 btc could be made out of 100 mn inputs, aka 10gb

18:47 dub yea, dude is running around telling everyone not to use bitbet and avoid mp. all the while still useing bitbet and hanging on mp's every blog
18:47 snackman mike_c: where are the horses?

18:48 ThickAsThieves` oh that reminds me of that joke
18:48 snackman Vexual: i klicked on 6 articles to see if the fee counter was a troll, which would have been funny indeed, if not, retarded as fuck
18:48 mircea_popescu ...
18:49 ThickAsThieves` It's hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.
18:49 mike_c mircea_popescu: are company reports exempt from fee?

18:55 snackman seeing that i probably will really have to contact a lawyer...
18:55 mircea_popescu use your noggin for thinking : if my return from hanging out here were actually negative, i wouldn't or else i'd have you sent off.
18:56 ThickAsThieves` that sentence
18:56 snackman make no sense

18:57 mircea_popescu i'm just saying, talking to random peeps on irc isn't stressing me, it's mildly enjoyable.
18:57 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Clarification on a much earlier point of yours. No lawyers presentinga criminal defense, but lawyers are fine arguing in civil cases?
18:57 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo sure. the worst they can do is lose you some money.
18:57 BingoBoingo Fuck, I think I've been doing this legal shit backasswards.

18:58 mike_c he also drummed up a lot of new business
18:58 mircea_popescu no cause he insultged my megalomania by claiming my troll counter is megalomaniac
18:59 dub mp is 80% of shareholders tho
18:59 mike_c nah
18:59 mircea_popescu dub no i'm not, im under 50%
18:59 dub orly
18:59 snackman mircea_popescu: bets are weighted, so late bets do not disturb the force field
18:59 mircea_popescu yesrly. kako and i have ~35% + w/e didn't sell of the 30% put on sale.
18:59 jamespeerless why do you even have share holders? why not just run it yourself?
18:59 mircea_popescu snackman except if the bet closes early, cause that means the weight was out of whack.
19:00 mircea_popescu jamespeerless i'm trying to build bitcoin into an actual thing.
19:00 jamespeerless by running a gambling website?
19:00 mircea_popescu by running all sorts of things correctly.
19:00 BingoBoingo jamespeerless: A great gambling website. I've won moar there than I lost on Satoshidice.
19:00 turbo_ac100 prediction market. please!
19:00 ThickAsThieves` maybe bitbet should have a setting for each bet for rate of weight loss
19:00 ThickAsThieves` a curve
19:00 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves` it was in the original spec
19:01 mircea_popescu we cut it out, because curve notation is more than the average person can grok mentally
19:01 snackman mircea_popescu: are you satoshi?
19:01 mircea_popescu and having it graphical turned out to be insanely difficult.
19:01 ThickAsThieves` so use gfx
19:01 snackman mircea_popescu: if you are, i take everything back, the megalomania is justified
19:01 ThickAsThieves` make 3 options
19:01 mike_c same rationale as 3-way resolutions
19:01 mircea_popescu snackman no, i'm nick szabo.
19:01 snackman mircea_popescu: so that's a yes
19:01 ThickAsThieves` fast regular slow
19:01 BingoBoingo ThickAsThieves`: What's next? Allowing bet creators to specify elliptic curves the bet weight passes through as it degrades over time?
19:01 ThickAsThieves` yes, thats what we are talking about
19:01 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves` what's wrong with just setting the weight end point to 80k or w.e ?
19:02 dub appears we are past acceptance and into the dick slurping phase of grief
19:02 ThickAsThieves` i think maybe i misunderstood end weight all along
19:02 ThickAsThieves` which now seems obvious
19:02 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves` and you wanteds me to implement splines.
19:02 snackman mircea_popescu: admit it dude
19:03 snackman mircea_popescu: this entire escapade of mine was to test your style
19:03 mircea_popescu o, there was deeper meaning ?
19:03 snackman mircea_popescu: lol of course
19:03 mircea_popescu i like it when there's deeper meaning
19:03 ThickAsThieves` admit what snackman did mp
19:04 snackman and what i assumed was confirmed beyong expectation
19:04 snackman beyond*, as typos are made when you're excited
19:04 Duffer1 if true then your actions are too meta for me to grock..
19:05 mircea_popescu Duffer1 it probably has something to do with post communism.
19:05 Duffer1 oh lawd you're not helping mp lol
19:05 BingoBoingo snackman: The simple answer is to get your bets in much earlier. As close to opening as possible. Just draw a bullseye on a piece of paper and jack off. If more cum is on the right bet yes. On the left bet no.
19:05 snackman mircea_popescu: not being engrained into mainstream economics by birth certainly helped you
19:06 snackman BingoBoingo: the conversation moved on, screw the play money, i have a much bigger fish to catch

19:06 benkay snackman: fishing for buttcorns?
19:06 ThickAsThieves` sending an email to wikimedia re: donation request pop-up:
19:07 ThickAsThieves` No bitcoin option? Fairweather friends get no shine.
19:07 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Maybe? Maybe instead of the paper bullseye though I hire a pair of tits. I'm trying to imagine snackman's budget though.
19:07 snackman benkay: i have enough, thank you. i got in early
19:07 benkay snackman: your aggro over 10 seems unwarranted then
19:07 mircea_popescu it's incredible how many people that got in early showed up late.
19:07 mircea_popescu we'd have never guessed in like, 2012.
19:07 BingoBoingo snackman: Actually in IRC everything is roughly on topic for at least 24 hours after it was last mention provided you scroll up
19:08 benkay snackman holds all the buttcorns. it's his private pre-mined altcoin, mircea_popescu, not actual bitcoins.
19:08 snackman benkay: please read the last 5 minutes. the entire thing was an act, carefully orchestrated, and mircea_popescu fell for it graciously
19:08 benkay that's what he means by "got in early"
19:08 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: To be fair before you showed it was pretty much just the dev circle jerk and the Silk Road honey pot
19:09 mircea_popescu then mp said "let there be tits1
19:09 mircea_popescu and lo tits rain galoare.

19:22 mircea_popescu jamespeerless how do you identify who sent which ?
19:23 BingoBoingo jamespeerless: So people can continue betting on the same position
19:23 mircea_popescu there's numerous advantages.
19:23 jamespeerless mircea_popescu: can't you read the from address in the transaction block?
19:23 mircea_popescu you can but you don't want to, because this way people can send from webwallets or w/e
19:23 BingoBoingo Sometimes you wanna hedge. Sometimes you wanna take all of the position.
19:24 jamespeerless why can't they send from web wallets if you did a single address per bet option
19:24 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 45 @ 0.33513812 = 15.0812 BTC [-] {3}
19:24 mircea_popescu cause if 5 peopel sent from the same wallet to the same bet your identifiocation scheme would fail
19:24 mircea_popescu also because if i sent the winnings to the address that sent the bet people would end up fucked if they sent from a wallet.
19:25 mircea_popescu (as most wallets don't have any way to associate their payment system to their users)

19:25 snackman nice
19:25 snackman everything here is a scam
19:25 jamespeerless hm I guess I don't understand "wallets" enough then.. i thought an address was an address
19:25 snackman even mike_c didn't send his promised coins
19:25 ThickAsThieves` lol
19:25 mircea_popescu not practical for a web wallet to allocate addresses to users
19:25 mircea_popescu because it has to coldstore its btc
19:25 jamespeerless ah got it
19:25 jamespeerless makes sense
19:26 mircea_popescu snackman maybe he didn't include a tx fee ?
19:26 jamespeerless seems like most wallets let you generate receiving addresses though
19:26 snackman mircea_popescu: bahahhaahah
19:26 mircea_popescu receiving yes. but they pay from wherever is convenient.
19:26 ThickAsThieves` i like that setup
19:26 snackman mircea_popescu: what a jew indeed
19:26 Vexual i just went to my local casino and tried betting after the bell. Apparently the chips go to the house.
19:26 snackman maybe i will meet him in the synagoge on saturday
19:26 ThickAsThieves` very convenient when you have coins in 10 diff places

19:30 snackman benkay: ?

19:32 mircea_popescu well at that point satoshi wasn't satoshi yet.
19:32 benkay well gosh snackman read the log for the past 10 days then you might have a clue as to the references

19:41 Kleeck_ ThickAsThieves`, are you joking about HashFast scamming?
19:41 asciilifeform maybe i'm just behind the times. but, picture some bozo: 'i'ma build a skyscraper. here's lots of pictures of my bulldozers, cranes! here's some cement mixers!'
19:42 Kleeck_ No. You are current with the times.
19:42 ThickAsThieves` Kleeck I am not joking
19:42 Kleeck_ I could walk into my datacenter and snap a bunch of awesome pictures. It doesn't mean I'm mining a damn thing.
19:43 Kleeck_ ThickAsThieves`, any data that lead you that direction? I have no skin in that game, but I've wondered. It's just a hunch.
19:43 ThickAsThieves` a friend is considering legal counsel against Hashfast
19:43 asciilifeform the sane people version: 'built a skyscraper. here's what it'll cost ya per sq. m. come in?'
19:43 mike_c snackman: have some faith! my wallet is sync'ing. you'll have it soon.
19:43 ThickAsThieves` that's all i know
19:43 Kleeck_ Due to the delays?
19:43 ThickAsThieves` i didnt ask for details
19:43 ThickAsThieves` he was looking for a referral
19:43 mike_c transactions aren't instantaneous you know ;)
19:43 Kleeck_ I see.
19:44 Kleeck_ Not YET, mike_c
19:44 snackman mike_c: hope dies last
19:44 dexX7 hashfast is not shipping/delayed more than a month now
19:44 Kleeck_ Don't they have a compensation program?
19:45 dexX7 they have some strange refund policies, if you mean that
19:45 snackman ThickAsThieves`: why is hashfast scamming?
19:45 ThickAsThieves` same reason as all scammers i assume
19:45 ThickAsThieves` it was the plan, or it became the plan
19:46 asciilifeform man jumps in front of moving bus. considers legal action against bus.
19:46 Kleeck_ The cost of being legit is far less appealing than the old "cut and run" I'd assume.
19:48 mircea_popescu asciilifeform originally this started as a hobbyst project.
19:48 mircea_popescu people don't have 10k laying around the house.
19:49 mircea_popescu consequently, the first fpga's were pretty much a potluck affair
19:49 mircea_popescu that system worked
19:49 mircea_popescu (everyone delivered, even bfl)
19:49 mircea_popescu it was stretched past its usability into insanity by a desperate desire and need for stability. bitcoin doesn't offer much of that,
19:49 mircea_popescu so people naturally tried to stick to what works
19:50 mircea_popescu that's pretty much the story of how we ended up with the insanity.
19:51 mircea_popescu Kleeck_ people fail to correctly value reputations.
19:51 Kleeck_ There is some truth to that, mircea_popescu.
19:52 mircea_popescu there's a lot of truth to it. let's lay it out : bozo comes in when bitcoin is 1 year old, can start a reputation within a week and be doing business within am onth.
19:52 mircea_popescu he imagines the value of this is 1 month.
19:52 mircea_popescu two years later, he needs to be 1 year+ old to be even considered, because now bitcoin is 4 years old.
19:52 BingoBoingo Seems for Litecoin devotees this insanity is going to be magnified as CoinDesk has just reprinted so many people's "press releases" about impending litecoin ASICs and if a single manufacterer delivers it will have meant Litecoin skipped that awkward FPGA adolescence while still staying a fraction of a fraction of bitcoin
19:53 mircea_popescu he goes on forum as a week old and is shocked at how mean people are, telling him to do 6 motynhs + of reading before he opens his mouth again
19:53 mircea_popescu somewhere in there he failed to account for the fact that having kept his reputation intact for those two years is just about as valuable as having kept his bitcoins for two years.
19:53 assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 830 @ 0.00289 = 2.3987 BTC [+]
19:54 mircea_popescu in fact, everyone evaluates their bitcoin exposure in terms of what their bitcoin holdings are. this is about half the story.
19:54 mircea_popescu the other half is your wot account.
19:54 Kleeck_ I agree.
19:55 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo i dunno that anyone will ever deliver ltc asics. putting all that memory on a chip is not trivial.
19:55 assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 568 @ 0.00289784 = 1.646 BTC [+] {3}
19:56 mircea_popescu ironically because of scrypt, fpgas are actually a much better choice for ltc than asics
19:56 mircea_popescu unless, of course, you're sony or something.
19:56 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Well I figure for some unknow n^th announcement one person or group will inevitably be crazy enough to produce the asics
19:56 assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 294 @ 0.0029 = 0.8526 BTC [+]
19:57 mircea_popescu if such things were a function of people's crazyness...
19:57 assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 78 @ 0.0029 = 0.2262 BTC [+]
19:58 mircea_popescu things like "some chick is crazy enough to produce a pic of a large wooden object stuck in her snatch" is one thing
19:58 mircea_popescu "some guy makes an airplane" is altogether different
19:58 BingoBoingo For all we know the person bankrolling LTC ASICs could be Curt Schilling and the Engineer could be some kid he picked on in highschool who merely has to fulfill the objective of making any LTC capable scrypt ASIC at all. Not necessarily anything close to a profitable scrypt asic.
19:59 mircea_popescu for all we know i'm satoshi, and you're snackman
19:59 BingoBoingo Of course. Maybe I'm Usagi?
20:00 assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 392 @ 0.0029 = 1.1368 BTC [+]
20:00 mircea_popescu you got too big tits and too much beard to be usagi.

20:01 BingoBoingo I may have plenty of beard, but I'll be damned if my tits are bigger than a grown man named Oliver's.
20:01 mircea_popescu cazalla me too actually.
20:01 BingoBoingo cazalla: Bankruptcy is just a fresh start

22:45 gribble The operation succeeded.
22:50 asciilifeform dust TX, if they exist, could be interesting. bit flips from cosmic rays?
22:50 asciilifeform as seen here: http://dinaburg.org/bitsquatting.html
22:50 dub it happens
22:51 asciilifeform phun phact: most public key cryptosystems cough up key bits in this scenario.
22:51 asciilifeform consider the trivial case of RSA with lowest bit in 'p' or 'q' (pubkey = PxQ) flipped.
22:53 dub wonder if there is any research into encouraging them
22:53 asciilifeform suddenly 'p' (or 'q') is composite.

22:57 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Maybe you linked this, but I recall finding a paper on how SPARC chips can leak RSA keys given an attacker feeding the system sertain kinds of voltage fluctuations.
22:57 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: this is by no means particular to SPARC
22:57 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: I imagine not.
22:58 asciilifeform if the probability of a 'cough' is sufficiently large, any system that can be 'milked' for RSA exchanges is vulnerable.
22:59 BingoBoingo Well, the Cardano uses a battery for a reason...
23:00 asciilifeform moral: 1) single-tasking machine 2) performing crypto-ops when you want, and not when internet asks 1000x/sec.; 3) battery belongs to you and physically visible
23:01 asciilifeform 4) change keys sometimes.
23:03 BingoBoingo 5) if everything else fails https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXOvjf-IrL8
23:03 asciilifeform anybody feeling particularly energetic is invited to carry out an experiment:
23:03 asciilifeform 'dust telescope.'
23:04 asciilifeform run blockchain; generate as many random addrs as will fit on disk...
23:05 asciilifeform helps if you have a reasonable entropy source, but not essential for this application.
23:06 asciilifeform then countdown until fools start pushing 'dust miner bonds', l33t, 11111....
23:07 dub still seems like a rather larger collision space than some well known short domain names
23:07 asciilifeform large - but finite.
23:07 asciilifeform in fact, bonus points if you use a known turd for an entropy source
23:07 asciilifeform that others, generating addrs in the past, may have used...

23:09 nubbins` ^ even this
23:10 dub bonus points for firing acetone charged magnets at the sun to generate extra gamma particles
23:11 asciilifeform there's plenty of gamma to go around. and ECC RAM has gone out of fashion.
23:12 dub in my world its always fun to see new players flapping about random ECC error alarms
