00:54 Jere_Jones Attempt #1 and correcting myself: BIP70 is evil because it, without encryption, would be vulnerable to MITM attacks. BIP70 specifies usage of a central authority for verification of the public keys encrypting/signing the request. That puts control/power in the exact hands that Bitcoin, as a philosophy, is trying to remove it from. A payment request protected by a WoT key would be less
00:54 Jere_Jones objectionable.
00:55 moiety i haven't heard these folk BingoBoingo
00:55 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: ALmost there.
00:55 moiety and i don't think a blog would work with me. i'm the only one interestedin what i have to say lolol

01:41 Jere_Jones Damn you BingoBoingo. My search for what is wrong with BIP70 has led me to way too much good stuff to read. I have code to write damnit!
01:41 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: All code is worthless without good implementations.
01:41 BingoBoingo Don't AMir this shit.
01:41 Jere_Jones "AMir"?

01:43 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: Who do you work for anyways who would have you write code for Bitcoin purposes without knowing this shit?
01:44 Jere_Jones I don't work for anyone that has me write bitcoin code.
01:44 Jere_Jones I write bitcoin code because I want to. Or, at least, I will.
01:45 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: To do something as idiotic as take BIP 70 seriously you must have some dark master. I merely would like an introduction.
01:46 Jere_Jones I didn't say I took it seriously. I only said it was 6 months old when you said that dell doc was 3 years out of date.
01:47 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: I am just saying. I had my 28th birthday, and too little to show for it.
01:48 Jere_Jones Shit man. On my 28th birthday, I was still in the Navy and had not yet met my wife-to-be. 28 is young as fuck.
01:49 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: BTC is a thing though. I feel like a poor as hoobajew
01:50 Jere_Jones In 10 days I will have my 39th birthday. In my 39 years I have learned that I am damn good at writing code. Yet, I haven't created anything that is worthwhile in a "greater scheme of things" sense.
01:51 Jere_Jones I don't want to hit my 44th birthday and have that statement still ring true.
01:51 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: Have you tried amphetamines?
01:51 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: You seem to be seriously behind
01:52 Jere_Jones Probably. But being behind is not going to get me to give up.
01:53 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: You need to kick your own ass and learn to lisp
01:53 Jere_Jones <insert joke about a speech impediment>
01:54 Jere_Jones Unless "lisp" was a typo and didn't actually refer to the language.
01:55 BingoBoingo Jere_Jones: How you read it is your choice
01:57 Jere_Jones Then I choose to say "huh?" and ask for clarification.
01:58 Jere_Jones Not on the first part. I understood that.

08:53 mircea_popescu why did you bury it shallow ?
08:53 moiety i didn't think it was shallow
08:53 moiety and its a private garden
08:53 mircea_popescu how deep was it ?
08:54 moiety thinking on it, about a foot?

08:54 ThickAsThieves sixfeet in US
08:54 ThickAsThieves we even have a TV show
08:54 moiety it was just really hard digging a hole with a spoon on my own, i was a bit upset when i was doing it
08:54 mircea_popescu yes well.
08:54 mircea_popescu didja put anything over it ? like a plank or something ?
08:55 Willdude123 ThickAsThieves, can I ask you a question regarding B.MINE and B.SELL?
08:55 ThickAsThieves you should ask the guy who runs it
08:55 moiety yeah, i put wood planks that were outside over her to keep her safe
08:55 mircea_popescu what did you bury ?
08:56 moiety please don't laugh, she meant a lot to me
08:56 moiety hamster
08:56 mircea_popescu it was a cat.
08:56 mircea_popescu cats will dig about a foot
08:56 ThickAsThieves you think?
08:56 mircea_popescu defo.
08:56 moiety i think that makes sense
08:57 mircea_popescu next time get a shovel eh. just because it's a tiny pet doesn't mean it can't get a manly burial.
08:57 moiety there isnt that much of a mess for a dog to have been digging
08:57 kakobrekla well, you did provide some cat a meal, thats a good thing.
08:57 moiety i learned big lesson today mircea_popescu
08:57 ThickAsThieves i'd guess another critter
08:57 moiety i guess kakobrekla i know its all circular, its just a bit upsetting when its right in front of you
08:57 ThickAsThieves like raccoon
08:58 mircea_popescu she's in scotland
08:58 moiety no racoons in scotland!
08:58 mircea_popescu they have raccoons now ?
08:58 ThickAsThieves oh
08:58 ThickAsThieves lol
08:58 moiety :D
08:58 moiety but hey! you stopped me crying lolol
08:58 ThickAsThieves maybe the cat needs a home
08:59 Willdude123 ThickAsThieves, is he on here?
08:59 ThickAsThieves will, i dont think so, but he is responsive in his fporum thread
08:59 kakobrekla wtf is this shit now
09:00 kakobrekla supernode changed his name
09:00 moiety im a bit scared to search the garden but i feel i should just in case theres bits i could rebury
09:00 kakobrekla he is now >
09:00 kakobrekla "rpietila, the Vassal of the Mighty Goat"
09:00 ThickAsThieves cats dont leave bits
09:00 ThickAsThieves they transport
09:00 mircea_popescu yeah it probably put the thing's head on a pike somewhere.
09:01 ThickAsThieves it's probablt on the cat owner's steps
09:01 kakobrekla did the chang goat get him or what
09:02 mircea_popescu kakobrekla sort-of old news actually.
09:02 kakobrekla well im out of the loop apparently
09:02 moiety poor wilma :(
09:02 ThickAsThieves nice name
09:03 mircea_popescu why does wilma care whether it's eaten by fungus or mammals ?
09:04 moiety I care. i feel she deerved better
09:04 kakobrekla well, i vouch taht rodents dont care if they are eaten
09:04 Willdude123 I wonder if I could somehow time lock my btc. So make it such that I can't touch them for 6 months
09:04 moiety i couldn't bury her for ages you see, I just couldn't do it. so its worse that when i finally managed to bury her, she gets eaten a day later
09:04 kakobrekla Willdude123 there are several ways of doing that
09:04 mircea_popescu Willdude123 yeah. by not touching them for 6 months.
09:05 Willdude123 heh
09:05 mircea_popescu moiety ahahaha you're such a twerp.
09:05 mircea_popescu why not ask a day before rather than a day after teh failburial ?
09:06 kakobrekla in some cultures that i didnt bother to remember, they un-bury the dead every few years
09:06 kakobrekla clean the bones up
09:06 moiety i didn't realise it had failed until about 20 minutes agp
09:06 kakobrekla pack it back down.
09:06 moiety ago
09:06 mircea_popescu moiety but it was the first time you did it right ?
09:06 mircea_popescu what made you think you're a qualified undertaker.
09:06 moiety yep
09:07 moiety oh lol not a single thing aside from not having any other option
09:07 mircea_popescu so maybe next time ask the internets before devirginizing.
09:07 mircea_popescu the internets know all.
09:08 kakobrekla Willdude123 its possible to make a tx in such way it will be valid after n time, or just use bitbet.
09:08 moiety yeah I usually am a lot more efficient when not bereaved
09:08 mircea_popescu kakobrekla yeah, like in romania.
09:08 mircea_popescu 7 years, wash bones in wine, rebury.

13:07 asciilifeform i'll extend mp's thesis and conjecture that it died from, rather than in spite, of, the mountain of free advertising in u.s. mouthpiece media 'mtgox, the largest exchange, today, ... etc'
13:08 asciilifeform do herds of chumps bring into existence chumpmeisters, or the other way around?
13:08 mike_c well, it died from incompetence. herds of chumps is the only reason we are talking about them.
13:10 jurov does anyone have a competence growing btc/fiat exchange
13:10 jurov from 0 to 100000 users in few years?
13:11 jurov i guess much better people than karpeles would get burned
13:11 asciilifeform when you get 100,000 users, does satan appear before you and command you to 'take the exchange fractional' ?
13:11 jurov they would still have to deal with banks. and they can be worse than satan.
13:12 asciilifeform hence the question of whether an honest btc/fiat exchange is possible even in principle, without the cooperation of a sovereign.
13:13 mike_c jurov, 0 -> 100k in a few years isn't that hard with appropriate resources (which they had)
13:13 mike_c well, they had monetary resources. not talent resources.
13:13 asciilifeform i think the implication might have been that 100k users turns you into a 'person of interest' for the vultures
13:13 asciilifeform and then 'you can also have problems.'

13:51 mircea_popescu more interesting, how many troops of bullocks successfully took over the escape and ate the smartasses.

15:01 mircea_popescu as in, all through the war the british were sucking captial out of the us, first in the form of cashing out their massive investments, then in the shape of borrowing.
15:02 mircea_popescu this was being repaid after the war, principally from german reparations, which principally consisted of us loans to germany.
15:02 mircea_popescu the entire thing ended in the 30s as perhaps the first major fiasco of the government-owned financial system.

15:23 mircea_popescu In 1924, an American banker named Charles Dawes outlined what came to be known as the Dawes Plan — a new reparations agreement under which U.S. banks such as J.P. Morgan issued bonds to private investors on behalf of Germany, which agreed to pay them back when the money became due. Dawes won the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on this plan. But when the first batch of bonds came due in 1928, Germany again default
15:23 mircea_popescu ed. So in June 1929, a new plan was enacted, floating more U.S.-backed bonds and reducing Germany's payments to $28 billion paid out over 59 years.

15:26 r3wt i was invited to join the WOT, i had never heard of it before now
15:26 mircea_popescu gotta be in the wot.
15:26 r3wt i was told to come here
15:26 mircea_popescu which nobel prize story inspires me. shouldn't we have a yearly prize of some sort for some thing ?
15:26 kakobrekla you came to the right church.
15:26 mircea_popescu the #bitcoin-assets economic prize of economy ?
15:27 Apocalyptic r3wt, I hear some people are waiting 2 days, maybe even more for withdrawals from openex, what's wrong ?
15:27 davout kakobrekla: mass is in french
15:27 kakobrekla mircea_popescu i think you would have hard time finding the nominees
15:28 asciilifeform if people want to hand out prizes for whatever, nothing's stopping them?
15:28 r3wt Nothings wrong. i registered the llc and some of the staff didn't want to abide by the legal requirements and left. i've been afk, so withdrawals tend to pile up with no one to confirm them
15:28 benkay 14.5% on jd investments eh?
15:28 mircea_popescu asciilifeform kakobrekla no but hear me out :
15:28 r3wt other than Dogecoin everything is good
15:28 mircea_popescu we collect a pot by donation, whoever wants to contribute. then the pot is on a fixed date distributed to one recipient.
15:28 mike_c benkay: yeah. not bad for 7 months.
15:29 r3wt but i'm not saying its not my fault because it sort of all falls on me in the end
15:29 mircea_popescu all we need is to agree on some gross criteria, then people construct a nominee list and all contributors vote on it
15:29 mircea_popescu proportional to their contribution.
15:29 r3wt just try to understand where i'm coming from if you can
15:29 mircea_popescu open source nobel prize.
15:29 mike_c wouldn't that recipient have already amassed quite a sum by doing whatever he won the prize for?
15:29 mike_c we're not exactly acadmeics here
15:29 mircea_popescu r3wt well being here works wonders to defuse such tension.
15:29 mike_c hehe. academics
15:29 mircea_popescu otherwise people get antsy
15:29 mircea_popescu mike_c you say that like it's a bad thing.
15:30 r3wt we do have something very cool in the works. i'm sure no one will see it coming either.
15:30 mike_c i don't! point being that the prize would be dwarfed by the recipients already worthy rewards from winning in the marketplace.
15:30 mod6 are you from openex, r3wt?
15:30 r3wt mod6: yes sir
15:30 mircea_popescu this is supposed to work so as to humble the nobel idiocy, not necessarily as to make the recipient rich.
15:30 mod6 ahh ok. ima pm u.
15:30 r3wt you can tell me why im here?
15:31 mircea_popescu after all, someone winning the nobel prize for actual merit is already independently well paid anyway.
15:31 mircea_popescu take obama, he's not rich because he melted down the peace gold medal, he's rich because he bleed dry a quarter billion idiots.
15:31 mike_c and he writes good books
15:31 mircea_popescu definitely.
15:31 mircea_popescu i don't remember seeing such penmanship since britney spears bio

15:55 mircea_popescu lol
15:56 benkay basically built by ee's as a flight platform for their electronics
15:56 benkay but its got some sweet mechanics too, you'll note that the fins spin independently of the rocket body
15:56 benkay we reverse engineered that from other rockets controlled with canards
15:56 mircea_popescu not bad
15:57 mircea_popescu a you're part of it ?
15:57 benkay cut, hardened and packed our own bearings
15:57 benkay was at one point
15:57 benkay it's a "student group" mostly made up of area professionals
15:57 benkay big fucking bearings too
15:58 benkay like
15:58 benkay 6" id if i recall correctly?
15:58 mircea_popescu wait on a rocket for fin control ?!
15:58 benkay it prevents control inversion
15:58 mircea_popescu how much do 6" hardened steel bearings weigh ?!
15:58 benkay tiny small control surfaces at the top
15:58 benkay har not a consideration for this hog
15:59 benkay and the bearings themselves are actually pretty small - they're just races attached to the frame
16:00 benkay anyways, it's required because you have these tiny little control surfaces that swivel around up at the top of the body
16:00 mircea_popescu aha
16:00 benkay they induce airflow in a helix around the body, which when it impacts the giant stablization foils at the bottom
16:01 mircea_popescu unrelatedly, it occurs to me that bitcoin makes th ebest fucking prizes you can give :
16:01 benkay on the first run this lead to an inversion of control, and eventually just crazy roll rates
16:01 mircea_popescu the longer you go w/o spending it, the more your prize turns out to be.
16:01 benkay then we decoupled the fins from exerting torque on the rocket body
16:01 benkay problem solved
16:01 benkay now the fins spin, and the rocket goes straight!
16:01 mircea_popescu pretty cool idea.

16:02 benkay carbon fiber airframe design!
16:02 mircea_popescu 3d printer rocket battery.
16:03 benkay i designed a regen motor for printing

16:24 davout pankkake: the address is not really impressive, having the firstbits would be
16:24 mircea_popescu something like that.
16:24 TomServo r3wt: register and then ident, iirc
16:24 r3wt in my dreams
16:24 davout r3wt: isn't it /msg nickserv identify <pass>
16:24 r3wt i'm already ident though
16:25 r3wt says i'm already logged in as r3wt
16:25 mircea_popescu davout when did firstbits become a thing ?
16:25 r3wt they've always been a thing for superfags
16:25 mircea_popescu i can't see how it's anything but a stupid idea.
16:25 mircea_popescu perhaps a benign novelty of no use at the best.
16:26 davout they're like vanity plates
16:26 davout not useful, but nice gadgets

16:30 mircea_popescu its a tool to allow you (and us) to evaluate the credibility of agents.
16:30 r3wt only one withdrawals sitting on the books, and it can't be processed yet. waiting on doge.
16:30 jurov or not
16:31 r3wt there is no trust in business. only money and contracts

16:35 davout some trust is also required for business, at least that the other the party will hold up to their part
16:35 r3wt @jurov: yes its logged, but only from the queue. if people wanna be clowns then they can pay the price
16:36 r3wt for whatever reason, i haven't been able to get validate address to work correctly.
16:36 r3wt maybe its just php, i'm not sure. hopefully it works better in LUA
16:37 davout r3wt: you have trouble validating bitcoin addresses?
16:37 jurov i think now i know everything i need about you
16:37 mircea_popescu you mean the checksum ?
16:37 mircea_popescu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9838.0 ?
16:37 ozbot javascript address validation? 0.2 BTC bounty (bounty paid)
16:38 mircea_popescu people apparently paid 0.2 btc bounties in may 2011.
16:39 mod6 r3wt: thanks for sending. all is good now!
16:39 r3wt no prob
16:40 r3wt @dav, yeah probably something i overlooked. when i print the returned info its fine,b ut when i try to use if($row["isvalid"]) === "false") it fails
16:41 r3wt so probably something i just need to go back to the drawing board on, but i'm not really interested in working on the php version anymore. there is literally no point in doing so
16:41 r3wt anything i change now will be temporary
16:41 davout r3wt: i know nothing of your code, but aren't you trying to test strict equality with a string when the value is a boolean?
16:41 mircea_popescu seems like it
16:41 mircea_popescu try ==
16:42 r3wt i tried == to i believe.
16:42 davout why not if($row["isvalid"])
16:42 davout if it's a boolean that should be enough
16:42 mircea_popescu you mean ! ?
16:42 r3wt because it will return the trow anyway?
16:42 r3wt when you rpc call it returns an array
16:42 mircea_popescu r3wt is this thing you're using documented anywhere ?
16:43 davout r3wt: using bitcoind right?
16:43 mircea_popescu bitcoind in php ?
16:43 davout mircea_popescu: why not?
16:43 mircea_popescu uh
16:43 davout just tried it, it returns a bool
16:44 mircea_popescu no reason i guess.
16:44 kakobrekla its not "false" but false
16:44 davout so drop the whole equality test and i assume it should work
16:44 r3wt http://pastebin.com/NqHHnKtg
16:44 mircea_popescu with a !
16:44 davout mircea_popescu: oh yes
16:44 ozbot [PHP] function isValidAddress($idtw,$address) { $wallet = new Wallet($idtw); - Pastebin.co
16:44 r3wt no, we wrote custom wallet wrapper/object with modified bitcoinrpcphp
16:44 mircea_popescu they see me sayin', they ignorin'.
16:45 davout r3wt: so your wrapper converts a nice boolean into a cumbersome string?
16:45 davout mircea_popescu: lol
16:45 benkay i love the javascript "no, really: are these things equal or not?" ===
16:45 benkay javascript: equality?!?!
16:45 pankkake php has the same
16:45 r3wt lol, no you seem to misunderstand
16:46 davout if everyone misunderstands i guess it cancels everyone out
16:46 r3wt https://github.com/r3wt/openex/blob/master/models/class.wallet.php
16:47 r3wt the files are out of date, but thats basically the class/wrapper
16:47 davout r3wt: looks to me like the JSON is simply parsed so you should end up with a bool from validateaddress, no.

16:48 r3wt no it just returns the array.
16:48 r3wt as far as i'm aware.
16:49 r3wt you could be right and i'm just a dumbass overcomplicating things. i'll try your way and see.
16:49 benkay pankkake: the same craaaaaazy equality operations?
16:49 pankkake yeah, really horrible behaviors
16:49 davout r3wt: if it parses the json it returns a hash, or a dictionary, whatever you call it in PHP, with the "isvalid" key pointing to a bool

16:50 mike_c which noobery? using php?
16:50 kakobrekla he pasted that line here
16:51 mike_c sorry, just had to get a php crack in there
16:51 davout dear god, please let this not degenerate into a language fight

16:52 Apocalyptic can't wait
16:53 r3wt yep LUA
16:53 jcpham rabble rabble
16:53 Apocalyptic does LUA have the === operator ?
16:53 r3wt actually not even lua really, just some home brewery with lua
16:53 benkay no seriously, is it equal?
16:53 r3wt just use ~=
16:53 Apocalyptic just wondering
16:53 r3wt !=
16:53 r3wt so in lua its
16:53 davout Apocalyptic: maybe it has the NOT_EXACTLY_SURE_WHAT_I_M_DOING operator
16:53 r3wt ~=
16:53 mike_c and the ever famous !==
16:53 r3wt lol
16:54 davout =~ is actually awesome
16:54 jurov don't forget <>
16:54 mircea_popescu import languages.
16:54 davout lol
16:54 kakobrekla benkay php is like real world, some are more equal than others.
16:54 Apocalyptic r3wt, you should rewrite it in bitcoin script
16:54 davout kakobrekla: lmao
16:54 Apocalyptic now that would be a challenge
16:54 Apocalyptic OP_CHECK_BALANCE OP_MAIL OP_WITHDRAW
16:54 pankkake =~ is for using regular expressions?
16:55 mircea_popescu i like the >=< operator.
16:55 mircea_popescu kinda covers everything
16:55 davout pankkake: yeah, checks for regexp match
16:55 mircea_popescu which kind ?
16:55 davout mircea_popescu: the infamous "figure-it-out-yourself" operator
16:55 pankkake and I suppose you can use it for replacements too. that's one of the things I miss in Python, direct regexp access
16:56 mircea_popescu uh python does not have regexp ?!
16:56 davout pankkake: i don't think you can
16:56 jcpham MPEX FAQ #42: Figure it out yourself.
16:56 r3wt ah, now i see what i did wrong. i'm asking if a function is a boolean when it already returns one
16:56 pankkake mircea_popescu: it does. but it's just a module, there's no quick access operator
16:56 mike_c re.sub("php", "bugridden")
16:56 davout r3wt: yeah, pretty much what i was yelling at you :-)
16:57 r3wt nope, still didn't fix it
16:57 kakobrekla no he is aksing if a fuction is a string "false"
16:57 Apocalyptic *if a function returns
16:57 kakobrekla ye
16:57 kakobrekla lets broke it
16:58 r3wt i was asking if a string in an array was false within the original function, then i was asking if the function was a boolean
16:58 r3wt so get it right
16:58 r3wt was the string false**
16:58 mircea_popescu <r3wt> ah, now i see what i did wrong. i'm asking if a function is a boolean when it already returns one << pretty good this.
16:58 kakobrekla double false.
16:58 Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, indeed
16:59 kakobrekla i guess that makes it true
16:59 mircea_popescu r3wt so i guess now you have the answer : wot is the church of bitcoin miracles.
16:59 mircea_popescu it fixes your code.
16:59 davout "if($row["isvalid"]) === "false")" <<< array, where?
16:59 r3wt mircea_popescu: if anything its a good place to learn
17:00 kakobrekla is the array containing string "false" ??
17:00 r3wt yes, the row in the array will say "true" or "false"
17:00 r3wt depending on if the address is valid or not
17:00 kakobrekla but (i hope) its a bool ??
17:00 Apocalyptic davout, in PHP a dictionary is an array
17:00 Apocalyptic that's one of the beauties
17:00 davout Apocalyptic: lol, why don't they call things by their names
17:01 Apocalyptic "An array in PHP is actually an ordered map. A map is a type that associates values to keys. This type is optimized for several different uses; it can be treated as an array, list (vector), hash table (an implementation of a map), dictionary, collection, stack, queue, and probably more"
17:01 davout "and probably more" <<< lmao
17:01 mircea_popescu i like the "probably more" part.
17:01 Apocalyptic cause you know, it's tedious to call things right
17:01 mircea_popescu should be a php operator this.
17:01 Apocalyptic haha mircea
17:01 mircea_popescu >~
17:01 pankkake it's worse. lists and dictionnaries are both arrays
17:01 mod6 things can be other things
17:01 Apocalyptic yeah pankkake, everything is an array !
17:01 mircea_popescu mod6 like urmom!
17:01 r3wt the adults are talking
17:02 mod6 haha
17:02 pankkake and thus, if you export to json, empty "arrays" can end up as lists when you wanted dicts
17:02 mike_c i like how it is "optimized" for all those things
17:02 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11212 @ 0.00087705 = 9.8335 BTC [+]
17:02 mircea_popescu pankkake THAT'S OK MAKE EVERYTHING IN JSON A STRING
17:02 kakobrekla ' == false ' < - comparing bool, ' == "false" ' <- comparing string
17:02 pankkake lol
17:02 r3wt yea i know the difference lol
17:02 davout mircea_popescu there you go, PHP is the perfect randomness generator
17:02 kakobrekla dafuq you comparing a string then for
17:02 pankkake I remember once when I had to do a replace of '[]' by '{}', to fix the php json export
17:02 mircea_popescu davout only for applications where it's not useful.
17:03 r3wt because json rpc returns an array, not a boolean
17:03 mircea_popescu is a boolean an array ?
17:03 r3wt the class is the wrapper
17:03 mircea_popescu it should be i reckon
17:03 kakobrekla array can be anything
17:03 Apocalyptic lemme check
17:03 r3wt oh my god
17:03 r3wt array("somekey" => "somevalue");
17:03 davout mircea_popescu: guess you have a point
17:04 mircea_popescu if $row["hello"] ~= "false[$world]"
17:04 mircea_popescu waitno
17:04 r3wt how can you have a boolean in an array?
17:04 mircea_popescu worldends.jpg
17:04 davout derp
17:04 r3wt it would be a string right? or i'm just stupid?
17:04 pankkake also sometimes, php dicts are forced into lists, if you have only numeric keys or something
17:04 Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, $ php -r "var_dump(is_array(false));"
17:04 Apocalyptic bool(false)
17:04 mircea_popescu r3wt by making it a double.
17:04 kakobrekla like $array['key'] = false
17:04 mircea_popescu then all the bits in it are boolean.
17:04 davout r3wt: why would it have to be a string??
17:05 r3wt the array returns a string?
17:05 mircea_popescu speaking of "all the bits in it" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M68GeL8PafE
17:05 kakobrekla do a var_dump($array)
17:05 kakobrekla see what is what
17:05 Apocalyptic r3wt, the array returns crazy things
17:05 Apocalyptic be carefull with those
17:05 r3wt ./altcoind validateaddress alfdjkaslflakdfja { "isvalid" : false }
17:05 r3wt damn, it does return a bollean. you smart mofo
17:05 davout it does, doesn't it
17:06 kakobrekla i told you 356 lineas ago
17:06 davout drop your equality test and keep the if
17:06 davout kakobrekla: no, me
17:06 kakobrekla fuck you ill edit logs
17:06 davout LOL
17:06 davout i yield
17:06 r3wt $address = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST["recipient"])); $wallet = new Wallet($idtw); $validity = $wallet->validate($address); if($validity == false) { $errors[] = "Not a valid address"; $error = true; }

17:08 mircea_popescu php does not allow things.
17:08 Jere_Jones 5.4 does

17:20 mircea_popescu TRUE != 0.
17:20 mircea_popescu ahahaha this is some epic shit
17:20 kakobrekla ok so:
17:20 kakobrekla 2
17:20 kakobrekla what did i just type
17:20 davout ==> "is this cube equal to this sphere?" sure, they're both made of wood!
17:20 kakobrekla is it int or str
17:21 mike_c int. no quotes.
17:21 davout PHP looks like the language of choice for quantum physics
17:21 davout "not sure, maybe we'll see at runtime"
17:21 mircea_popescu so according to php is "1" = 1 evaluated to 1, 0 or what ?

17:22 blg mtgox also uses tcp/ip case closed
17:22 mircea_popescu == converts to numbers when possible ( 123 == "123foo"… although "123" != "123foo"), which means it converts to floats when possible. So large hex strings (like, say, password hashes) may occasionally compare true when they’re not. Even JavaScript doesn’t do this.
17:22 KRS-One qbasic?
17:22 davout mike_c: no, because frameworks
17:22 mircea_popescu this is so great.
17:22 mike_c yes, drupal will save us
17:22 davout also midas
17:23 mircea_popescu For the same reason, "6" == " 6", "4.2" == "4.20", and "133" == "0133". But note that 133 != 0133, because 0133 is octal. But "0x10" == "16" and "1e3" == "1000"!
17:23 davout i don't want to live on this internet anymore
17:23 mike_c kako, defend that. "133" == "0133"
17:24 kakobrekla same amt of btc.
17:24 mike_c lol. true.
17:24 mircea_popescu Amen to the cavalier attitude. You know about PHP's Javascript-esque === operator? (that's the one with three equals signs). That got designed on the spot in an IRC session with Zeev and some other devs. Because I actually had to explain to these folks what the concept of "object identity" was, i.e. what lisp does with 'eq', python does with 'is', and Javascript does with ===. Yes, because PHP's is different. Not only
17:24 mircea_popescu does === fail to do object identity testing, it's simply '==', does all the "deep comparison" of ==, but also bothers to compare the type.

17:24 ozbot PHP 5.2.0 Released - Slashdot
17:25 mircea_popescu In other words, I was unsuccessful in explaining this rather basic concept. They got it blisteringly wrong, and hacked this wrongness into the language for all time. I attempted to explain (much more patiently than here) that no, this is not what === is supposed to do, but I wasn't heard. Not by Zeev, not by anyone else on channel. No one got it at all.
17:25 mircea_popescu I passionately hated PHP for a long time after that, but it's just not relevant enough to my work anymore to hate.
17:26 r3wt so i should be learning python and lisp or what?
17:26 mike_c sounds like a kindred spirit doesn't he mp?
17:26 peterl python is great
17:27 mircea_popescu mike_c it was an enjoying read. i am a sadist :D
17:27 davout r3wt: tbh i think what matters most isn't the language, is to strive to understand exactly what's hapenning
17:28 r3wt that is a tough task for me. i find myself doing alot of reading and then some trial and error
17:28 davout but wanting away from PHP sounds like a sane thing if you're going to be programming moar
17:28 mircea_popescu learning more languages never heart anyone, be they computer or natural.
17:28 r3wt well this is my first project but i can already see that i do not want to do php forever.
17:29 mircea_popescu nevertheless, absent any effort for deep understanding of meaning and grammar, no actual language learning takes place.
17:29 davout r3wt: what makes a language hard to me is the lack of internal consistency it can have
17:29 pankkake my innefiencies with php was mostly… looking up the order of function arguments, as they were so inconsistent

17:36 peterl mircea_popescu: could you publish your own average bitcoin price?
17:36 ThickAsThieves my openex withdrawals are done, the delay was partially due to Chrome autofilling my username into the address field
17:36 mircea_popescu peterl i could. and then my own bitcoin and my own planet

17:36 Apocalyptic ThickAsThieves, it's ok you are a foreigner
17:37 pankkake r3wt: just keep in mind if you write more php. almost all other languages have libs in the style of PHP PDO
17:37 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves you know that's pretty serious an issue.
17:37 nicknock_ mp: whats wrong about bfx?
17:37 r3wt btw, openex lua is done man, it is a complete rethink. i would have a few days of moving/converting the db to the new structure but it is basically all done except for sockets and the migration of the db structure
17:37 FabianB_ coindesks bitcoin price index might be an option, but with only stamp and btce it's a joke too
17:37 pankkake autofill is evil
17:37 mircea_popescu nicknock_ see mpoe-pr's scamthread
17:37 peterl don't most exchanges publish volumes and prices, shouldn't getting an average be pretty easy?
17:37 mircea_popescu omg they have localbitcoins

17:41 kakobrekla they also squated that much worth of domains
17:41 davout somehow, two minutes after i tell lb owner about it my ip gets blocked, and the domain only works from my cell disconnected from wifi

17:56 mircea_popescu because the govt kept doing this.
17:56 mircea_popescu the next year the tax code was altered mid exercise, and to be applied from the beginning of the exercise.
17:56 ThickAsThieves can italy even keep up with verifying claims of exemption?
17:56 davout lol
17:56 mircea_popescu further improvement : the people who obeyed sucked it
17:56 mircea_popescu the people who told them to fuck off got to get away with it.
17:57 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves that's planned to become delayed.
17:57 davout in france we have invented something marvelously cynical : "l'abus de droit"
17:57 ThickAsThieves also does Italy not want money coming there anymore?

18:01 mircea_popescu the station sued the agency. the court ordered the agency stfu and pay the stations' lawyers
18:01 mircea_popescu the agency was not built with a lawyer budget, so it couldn't pay
18:01 mircea_popescu another court said stfu and pay or else we take your computors

18:08 mircea_popescu Including a file dumps its variables into the current function’s scope (and gives the file access to your variables), but dumps functions and classes into global scope.

18:09 benkay leave poor php alone
18:09 benkay you just don't understand!
18:09 mircea_popescu well i guess why would anyone ever want function scope
18:09 davout it would be so cool to have a consistent language where everything is an object that you call methods on

The Marine and I decided to pull an armed robbery of a small convenience store. A policeman happened to be in the area, and after a long chase we were arrested and went to jail."

18:58 davout srsly?
18:58 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you're the first one that read the site
18:58 mircea_popescu probably since its inception
18:58 asciilifeform i always think, 'scroll down to where the bastard wants your keys'
18:59 davout i skimmed over it and concluded, maybe too fast, that it was just syntactic sugar around the gpg binary or sthg
18:59 asciilifeform the less dour the presentation, the more childlike the graphics, the more guaranteed.
18:59 punkman I just liked the command line utility, I want to associate nicknames to keys
18:59 mircea_popescu punkman what's wrong with, you know, the wot ?
18:59 davout punkman: you don't have autocomplete for key names?
19:00 punkman davout, does gpg already do that?
19:00 asciilifeform 'syntactic sugar causes cancer of the semicolon.'
19:00 davout punkman: i'm a heretic, i'm on osx, but the gpg i have does it, o wait, its probably zsh, stupid me
19:01 asciilifeform at any rate, a beartrap is a beartrap, stick your foot in if you enjoy that kind of thing.
19:01 davout but even without autocomplete you can just give the first unambiguous chars of a key name and gpg will be smart enough to pick the right one
19:01 mircea_popescu i don't get it, gpg already recognises destinations by name, email, keyd out of the box
19:01 davout works with -r and -u
19:01 mircea_popescu what is the functionality sought here ?
19:01 davout moar convenience i guess, but that's what you describe, gpg is smart enough if there's no ambiguity

20:31 benkay It was on occasion of the annual celebration in honor of Latona and her offspring, Apollo and Diana, when the people of Thebes were assembled, their brows crowned with laurel, bearing frankincense to the altars and paying their vows, that Niobe appeared among the crowd. Her attire was splendid with gold and gems, and her face as beautiful as the face of an angry woman can be. She stood and surveyed the people with haughty looks. "What
20:31 benkay folly," said she, "is this! to prefer beings whom you never saw to those who stand before your eyes! Why should Latona be honored with worship rather than I? My father was Tantalus, who was received as a guest at the table of the gods; my mother was a goddess. My husband built and rules this city, Thebes; and Phrygia is my paternal inheritance. Wherever I turn my eyes I survey the elements of my power; nor is my form and presence
20:31 benkay unworthy of a goddess. To all this let me add, I have seven sons and seven daughters, and look for sons-in-law and daughters-in-law of pretensions worthy of my alliance. Have I not cause for pride? Will you prefer to me this Latona, the Titan's daughter, with her two children? I have seven times as many. Fortunate indeed am I, and fortunate I shall remain! Will any one deny this?

21:50 pankkake I use tunnels for a lot of things
21:50 benkay problem is everyone wants to think they're in the 10% of cases that need rigor
21:50 Apocalyptic <nubbins`> Ng6 << illegal move

21:58 mircea_popescu i dunno dood. say by putting a link TO THEMSELVES on your shit.
21:58 mircea_popescu say by deciding which of your articles need a special click through page.
21:58 pankkake the second you don't like it you can move out
21:58 mircea_popescu say by disqus-ing your commenters avant disqus was invented even
21:58 nubbins` Qd7
21:58 mircea_popescu i bet that's how disqus was born, some ycombinated heads were sitting around and one went
21:58 nubbins` sorry, Qc7
21:59 mircea_popescu 'you know what'd be really retarded ? if we made blogspot-style comment forms like a stand alone"
21:59 pankkake typically disqus is shit because you don't have control of the comments
21:59 mircea_popescu that second was in 1997.
21:59 benkay maintain all files locally.
21:59 benkay generate html
21:59 nubbins` ^
21:59 benkay push to arbitrary box.
21:59 pankkake disqus exists because static blog generators didn't resolve the comments part; and making the result worse in the end!

23:30 mircea_popescu <mike_c> i love quants. "if we assume the market is correctly pricing this stock, then we can derive that this stock is overpriced" :) >> pretty much it.
23:31 herbijudlestoids guise, i setup a page to grep the log.bitcoin-assets for mentions of my name
23:32 herbijudlestoids mike_c: if what you quoted is what you took away from the blog post, i guess i must suck at communicating.
23:32 mike_c you said priced efficiently, no?
23:32 herbijudlestoids dude.
23:32 herbijudlestoids i said, if we assume, for the sake of an experiment, that the market has priced efficiently, then this is what its implying as EPS growth
23:34 herbijudlestoids theres nowhere that says its overvalued. the point is, you get paid a decent long term return if the implied EPS is <= actual future EPS. if its > then you dont.
23:35 herbijudlestoids if you can somehow prove the price is (or isnt) locally efficient, then we can talk about how informative the price is
23:37 mike_c "We are talking a range of 126% - 170% here" << i read into this a tone saying it was too high. not what you were implying?
23:38 mike_c "that the Market Implied EPS Growth rate for S.MPOE is very, very high."
23:38 herbijudlestoids ...
23:38 mike_c very very seems to be impying too high :)
23:38 herbijudlestoids rest of the paragraph
23:38 herbijudlestoids "This premium over normal fair values (compare to our earlier SPY example) assigned by the market under assumptions that EPS growth will be very large. Investors who pay the premium today will be rewarded with reasonable returns only if the actual future EPS growth averages at or above this level for a significant period of time. Otherwise the investment can reasonably be expected to provide a poor long term retur
23:39 benkay the curse of technical fields
23:39 herbijudlestoids is it really so hard to understand?
23:40 benkay humans operating in those fields frequently lose the ability to communicate with others outside of those narrow, ultraspecialized fields.
23:40 mike_c i don't care if you are saying it was too high, you are entitled to your opinion.
23:40 herbijudlestoids mike_c: im not saying too high lol, im saying *this is what the market is implying EPS growth will be*

23:41 benkay your opinion is what differentiates you from a calculator
23:42 benkay quants like programmers want to be valued because they can make the numbers do stuff
23:42 benkay but nearly always forget that the interpretation is where the real money's at
23:42 benkay so: herbijudlestoids: mpoe: overpriced or no?
23:42 herbijudlestoids you guys sure are weird sometimes. benkay, the point of the article is to highlight things that people might not know about. if i had some info or opinoin that MPOE was undervalued or overvalued, why would i put it on the blog for morons to see instead of just buying or selling MPOE?
23:43 mike_c why not do both? talk your book.
23:43 benkay 'cause nobody's going to read your blog
23:43 Duffer1 Herbi you should paywall your blog, make them work for it ^.^
23:43 benkay yeah and talk your book
23:43 herbijudlestoids fucken fuck so weird
23:43 benkay what's weird about talking your book?
23:43 herbijudlestoids no
23:43 herbijudlestoids your atittude
23:43 herbijudlestoids its weird
23:43 chetty not greedy enough?

23:44 benkay hell yeah nsa's underpriced
23:44 benkay get super long nsa
23:45 herbijudlestoids mike_c: well it depends i guess. mircea_popescu was telling me something about 1% being the natural RoR in bitcoin under one calculation but in a different calculation 1000s of %
23:45 herbijudlestoids if we are operating under assumption of bitcoin economy, i would say its fairly priced, not undervalued
23:45 benkay loglink? herbijudlestoids
23:45 mike_c add those thoughts to your post. it will improve it. blog readers like opinions with their stats.
23:46 Duffer1 herbi got a twitter feed?
23:46 herbijudlestoids i do but its not bitcoin related Duffer1
23:46 mike_c if your opinions can be as polarizing as mp's you can even charge for it.
23:47 herbijudlestoids mike_c: see that is useful feedback which i appreciate. your earlier comments just get my grill.
23:47 mircea_popescu fwiw, i don't think the entire "growth" bs is worth two shits.
23:47 herbijudlestoids misread the post, misunderstood the point, derogate me based on that
23:47 mircea_popescu a high price in btc does not reflect an expectation of that thing to grow.
23:47 mike_c you gotta thicken your skin a bit. you get riled too easy.
23:47 mircea_popescu to make eps etc comparisons between btc and fiat, fiat must first be converted on a % of m3 basis.
23:48 herbijudlestoids there is no fiat involved and i explicitly state so at the end of the article
23:48 mircea_popescu so inasmuch as google is worth 1% of all dollars today and 1% of all dollars in 2050, a high price of google stock is warranted at all points because google is important
23:48 mircea_popescu imaginary "growth" in the interim notwithstanding.
23:48 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids seems to me all notions of growth are imported from fiat.
23:49 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: all securities have an internal rate of return
23:49 herbijudlestoids if the price of S.MPOE does not include growth, then why am i paying more than its dividend value for it?
23:49 assbot [HAVELOCK] [COG] 35 @ 0.07838228 = 2.7434 BTC [-] {6}
23:49 herbijudlestoids because its important?
23:50 mircea_popescu yep.
23:50 mircea_popescu forget rate of return, focus on rate of conservation.
23:51 Duffer1 do you post that info anywhere MP?
23:52 herbijudlestoids rate of conservation of ?
23:52 mircea_popescu what info ?
23:52 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids of btc.
23:52 Duffer1 conversion rate
23:52 mircea_popescu well it's all highly speculative, nobody has the first inkling wtf is going on here.
23:52 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: why do i need to buy a security then? the rate of conservation for holding bitcoin is 100%
23:52 mircea_popescu but im attacking herbi because he's much too immersed into fiat nonsense.
23:52 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids so you think. it is not.
23:53 mircea_popescu it's 9x% depending how competent you are with wallets and whatnot.
23:53 mircea_popescu why do people bet on bitbet ? "so they can't spend the btc", sez someone yest.
23:53 herbijudlestoids and investing in MPOE has ...a better rate of conservation?
23:53 herbijudlestoids ...
23:53 mircea_popescu it may.
23:54 chetty well mine has this silly habit of growing when I don't look too often :)
23:54 mike_c plus inflation. bitcoins in the sofa will shrink on a % basis.
23:54 herbijudlestoids chetty: your bitcoins grow?
23:54 mircea_popescu mike_c this is actually true, tho at the rate we're going by the time btc moneyness reaches balance the remaining inflation will indeed be very low
23:55 mircea_popescu but i suspect this is the overarching point here : 1% gains over a century are immense,
23:55 mircea_popescu 1% losses over a century are disastrous.
23:55 mircea_popescu none of the 15% a year fiat bs.
23:55 mircea_popescu btc time machine.
23:55 herbijudlestoids so are you gonna explain it or do i just wallow in my retardedness
23:56 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids ask and be enlightened!
23:56 herbijudlestoids im asking. you said focus on rate of conservation...i fail to see why i would invest in any security in that case, rather than investing in good wallet practices etc
23:56 mircea_popescu you could invest in good wallet practices just as well
23:57 mircea_popescu from what i gather in this chan most do.
23:57 mircea_popescu apparently you don't ask very good q's :D
23:58 herbijudlestoids youre saying something like...the rate of return is not important, this other rate, the rate at which an economic activity can "conserve" bitcoins
23:58 ThickAsThieves so much work to say mpoe is spensive
23:58 mircea_popescu anyway, let's consider the historical case as it played out. s.mpoe vs pmbs
23:59 mircea_popescu which is pretty much what everything else is, with sparse exception.
23:59 mircea_popescu a pmb will reward X% per interval, and decay Y% per interval, with Y > X for all cases.
23:59 mircea_popescu mpoe is so structured shareholders can only make a gain. thus Y > 0, X =0.
