00:01 mircea_popescu every page you turn, reddit gives the gist of itself.
00:02 mircea_popescu "Right now, I've got less than 1BTC and I'm dirt poor. Back when bitcoins/litecoins weren't worth anything (< 2 years ago), I had what would now be worth over a quarter million dollars worth in my wallet. I ended up wasting it on stupid gambling sites / day trading before it was worth much. Worst foresight ever."
00:02 mircea_popescu myeah.
00:04 ThickAsThieves i wonder how much he sold recently

00:06 mircea_popescu "I myself had over 20 BTC I needed to withdrawal. I requested that I have my withdrawals open, he said he would, then never did. Last night all the mods began to realize it was true….he scammed us.,..even his own admin team. I mean obviously scamming all of you is terrible, but to scam his own team is beyond a normal scammer.

00:13 Namworld A scammer will scam anyone... ANYONE. As long as he can get away with it. He might not scam partners who live nearby. But from another country, working on same project. Why not?
00:14 Namworld That's a silly statement.

00:19 ThickAsThieves I'll consider it a success when it passes Doge
00:19 mircea_popescu figure out based on mining cost what diff you want, put a bid wall around there on whatever altscam marketplace
00:19 mircea_popescu you'll get it by simple economics.
00:19 ThickAsThieves gotta get enough interest to get it listed first
00:20 ThickAsThieves i wonder how they decide
00:20 kakobrekla say neo and bee will support it
00:20 kakobrekla and run.
00:20 Duffer1 ha

00:20 kakobrekla also techically you can say mtgox will suport altchain(s)
00:20 kakobrekla non capital leter!
00:21 mircea_popescu lol
00:21 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves at their level, not like they can make a decision. if you say "i'll put a bid wall for x btc" they can't say no.
00:22 ThickAsThieves hmm

00:25 ThickAsThieves i'll let you list it for free
00:25 mircea_popescu well so then enforce volume not fees.
00:26 mircea_popescu tell him you'll list it if he puts at least X btc bids.
00:26 Apocalyptic <ThickAsThieves> can you even do it without the source? // if you have a linux 64-bit exec yeah
00:26 ThickAsThieves dunno the bit, but linux is in the package too
00:29 kakobrekla why put bids
00:29 kakobrekla you can buy it off me
00:29 kakobrekla im jk. its better to put bids.
00:30 ThickAsThieves how does one put a value on it?
00:30 ThickAsThieves it's virtually priceless
00:30 kakobrekla whats the current diff pankkake
00:30 ThickAsThieves hey thats the slogan maybe!
00:32 Apocalyptic heh
00:33 ThickAsThieves making slogans is just too easy

01:03 herbijudlestoids here is the distribution of 20tick lognormal returns for last ~3 days, heavy trading last night means better sample size! http://imgur.com/J7AQWiu
01:03 herbijudlestoids (for MPOE)
01:04 mircea_popescu is this good ?
01:04 kakobrekla looks like fuck you
01:04 kakobrekla srs
01:04 kakobrekla middlefinger.
01:04 mircea_popescu lol kinda ya
01:05 herbijudlestoids the simplest story the graph tells is that a gambler could bet on any 20 tick bar and more likely expect a positive return than negative one
01:05 herbijudlestoids it also tells other stories ;)
01:05 mircea_popescu so basically "it's going mostly up" ?
01:05 herbijudlestoids for example, if there is a 20 tick bar with a -2% return, you should bet against it
01:06 herbijudlestoids because its highly unlikely that the next bar will be also a -2% return bar or even a -1% return bar, etc
01:06 herbijudlestoids this is just preliminary play info until i can get more sample size
01:06 herbijudlestoids we are at 155 ticks total
01:06 mircea_popescu did you truncate past -2/+2 or just never happened ?
01:06 herbijudlestoids no i dont truncat its automatically bucketed
01:07 herbijudlestoids so whatever tails you see are the best/worst of the distribution
01:07 mircea_popescu a
01:07 herbijudlestoids definitely starting to look more like the levy distributions that im used to in other stocks
01:07 mike_c i hate technical analysis, so excuse my stupid question: wtf is a 20 tick bar?
01:08 herbijudlestoids its a different way of plotting the data instead of price/time its price/arbitrary divisions of price
01:08 herbijudlestoids 20 ticks == 20 trades
01:08 mircea_popescu http://live.coinbr.com/?mpsic=S.MPOE
01:08 ozbot CoinBr Live S.MPOE
01:08 mike_c so if a stock trades down for 20 ticks, you're saying buy it or sell it?
01:08 mircea_popescu you gotta catch one of those events
01:08 mircea_popescu (select month)
01:09 herbijudlestoids im not really saying anything based on a 155 tick sample size
01:09 mike_c right, but if you were
01:09 mircea_popescu lol
01:09 herbijudlestoids on avg? yea bet against the down
01:09 mike_c hm. just watch out for those head & shoulder patterns, i hear they're rough.
01:10 herbijudlestoids it doesnt have to trade down all 20 ticks, right? just a - return
01:10 herbijudlestoids lol h&s
01:10 herbijudlestoids this isnt really technical analysis so much as quantitative analysis
01:10 herbijudlestoids there is a big difference
01:10 Vexual no hypothesis?
01:10 mircea_popescu no, we'll just insult your crackpottery regardless
01:10 mircea_popescu listen to that, numbers and zodiacs!
01:11 herbijudlestoids TA guy will buy and sell based on ...for example h&s pattern...QA guy will analyse exactly what a h&s pattern is, expected returns, failure rates etc
01:11 herbijudlestoids one sec someone at door
01:11 Vexual cops
01:11 mircea_popescu lol.
01:11 mircea_popescu cops, hookers or pizza.
01:11 Vexual trifecta
01:12 kakobrekla hooker looking like cop bringing pizza
01:12 kakobrekla id have that.
01:12 herbijudlestoids lemme give you example, this is TA: http://finviz.com this is QA: http://thepatternsite.com/
01:12 herbijudlestoids i mostly spend time on SSRN and thewholestreet.com tho
01:13 mike_c your QA site is talking about h&s
01:13 mike_c http://thepatternsite.com/BustHSB.html
01:13 ozbot Bulkowski's Busted Head-and-Shoulders Bottoms
01:13 mircea_popescu lol
01:13 herbijudlestoids yes, but hes *tested* it over ~5000 stocks and multiple parameters etc
01:13 mike_c If price fails to drop more than 10% below the bottom of the head-and-shoulders bottom, then it could be forming a double bus
01:13 herbijudlestoids data going back ~30 years adjusted for bias
01:13 mike_c *double bust
01:13 kakobrekla lolz
01:14 herbijudlestoids and what does it say about success rate of this pattern mike_c?
01:14 herbijudlestoids lowwww
01:14 mike_c ohh, so if you find patterns in a random walk, then they must be valid going forward
01:14 herbijudlestoids wut? no...
01:14 herbijudlestoids think of that site like mythbusters
01:14 herbijudlestoids ...sheesh nevermind
01:14 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids his question is simply this : both qa and ta rely on a fundamental predictive presumption.
01:14 mircea_popescu which is equally incorrect for both
01:15 mircea_popescu so now, how do you insulate from that problem ?
01:15 mike_c yeah, like i said :)
01:15 herbijudlestoids whats the presumption? you lost me
01:15 mircea_popescu that future data relates to past data.
01:15 herbijudlestoids oh right :D
01:15 mircea_popescu predictive. ie, that somehow a numeric manipulation of the past yields the future.
01:15 herbijudlestoids mostly through the use of adaptive algorithms, for me, personally
01:16 mircea_popescu can you see why that won't impress him ?
01:16 herbijudlestoids i am not interested in impressing, im interested in consistent double digit returns with low vol
01:16 herbijudlestoids ~10-20%pa is good
01:17 mike_c apply your quant to JD and see what you can predict
01:17 herbijudlestoids whats JD?
01:17 mircea_popescu just dice, a dice site.
01:17 mircea_popescu .jd
01:17 mircea_popescu hm what was the command ?
01:18 herbijudlestoids is it a listed stock somewhere? or do you mean apply it to bets on the site itself? i couldnt see it in my mpex data
01:18 Vexual bot is mining atc
01:18 kakobrekla !jd
01:18 assbot Just-Dice stat: 0 BTC profit, 0.0k BTC invested, 0.00 mio bets, 0.00 mio BTC wagered
01:18 kakobrekla or what
01:18 herbijudlestoids the simplest betting strategy is to bet on the low volatility bets, i.e. those that have a low payoff but high probability of succeeding
01:18 kakobrekla SCAM.
01:18 herbijudlestoids most gamblers cant beat that strategy
01:18 mircea_popescu whgat ?!
01:18 mike_c whoa. jd is broke

01:19 kakobrekla for assbot
01:19 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids jd is a dice site. people gamble on it. its house edge is 1%. the returns it pays investors vary wildly.
01:20 mircea_popescu you can bet on any self-chosen odds, including 95% for a 4% gain or w/e.
01:20 mike_c point being, you could backtest and find patterns that would look profitable but are in fact completely irrelevant.
01:20 mircea_popescu people do, all the time, actually.
01:20 mircea_popescu about half the time they work.
01:20 mike_c like people at a baccarat table marking player vs banker
01:21 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15500 @ 0.00090799 = 14.0738 BTC [-]
01:21 mircea_popescu anyway, nothing wrong with an actual quant.
01:21 herbijudlestoids i dont really look for any form of complex pattern
01:21 mircea_popescu too many tas in bitcoin as it is.
01:21 herbijudlestoids im looking for robustness and simplicity
01:21 Vexual the lucky chap claimed to have spotted it when he took jd for thousands
01:21 mircea_popescu Vexual the first time it happened it spooked doog to all hell.
01:22 herbijudlestoids if its a regular dice site i would say just bet using kelly criterion
01:22 herbijudlestoids hard to outperform that
01:22 Vexual yeah i dont doubt that mp
01:22 mircea_popescu i wonder if im the oldest net positive jd gambler
01:23 mircea_popescu if memory serves i was up 50 btc or so, whenever that was
01:23 mircea_popescu prolly last syummer ? when did it launch
01:24 mike_c https://just-dice.com/roll/1
01:24 mike_c 2013-06-19
01:26 mircea_popescu aha. yeah.
01:26 herbijudlestoids hmm ok i just looked, id make bets with 60% chance to win
01:26 herbijudlestoids and adjust bet size by kelly criterion
01:26 herbijudlestoids done
01:26 mircea_popescu by kc you should actually invest not bet.
01:26 Vexual is doog on wot? who's he tight with?
01:26 mircea_popescu kc on a negative ev is negative.
01:27 mircea_popescu Vexual yes. me for instance.

07:47 nubbins` hi
07:48 ThickAsThieves mornin
07:48 nubbins` altcoin millionaire yet?
07:53 ThickAsThieves i have to buy some first
07:54 ThickAsThieves need to get the damn source
07:54 ThickAsThieves being a CEO isnt as easy as I imagined!
08:00 nubbins` heh
08:02 mircea_popescu wow mike_c knows how the sport tout biz works. props.
08:03 mircea_popescu incidentally, this is how idiots like keiser work, too. all the obscure web "financial experts", or bet picking experts, or so on work on the same business model :
08:03 mircea_popescu 1. you put up a site with some content and drive a ton of traffic to it. google ads, whatever. this is your start-up cost.
08:04 mircea_popescu 2. you gather leads for your "special picks" list, which you contact via email. this is your stable of suckers.
08:04 mircea_popescu 3. you split them in equal halves and give one half one pick, the other your opposite.
08:04 mircea_popescu now you have 50% of the list worth of people who think you must be on to something.
08:05 mircea_popescu 4. you subdivide both divisions. now you have a list of people who know you fucked up twice, this you discard ; two lists of people who think you go tone out of two. these you merge ; a most valuable list of idiots who think you got 2 out of 2.
08:05 mircea_popescu that latter list is your money maker. the merged list is where you mine for idiots.
08:05 mircea_popescu this allows you to actually extract a profit out of the stupidity of people who are too stupid to realise just how stupid they are.
08:06 ThickAsThieves now swap lists for Financial News Networks
08:06 mircea_popescu "ll the obscure web "financial experts", or bet picking experts" :)
08:07 ThickAsThieves surely someone has done a study
08:07 mircea_popescu surely nobody has bothered.
08:07 ThickAsThieves how often tv picks work out to be worse then flipping a coin
08:07 ThickAsThieves than
08:07 mircea_popescu because the scammors can pay, and can scream, whereas the idiots can't pay, and can scream too, and they will scream against their interest.
08:07 assbot [HAVELOCK] [HIF] 413 @ 0.00043103 = 0.178 BTC [-] {4}
08:07 mircea_popescu you don't get a mpoe-pr in all venues.
08:08 mircea_popescu in fact, she's so novel that people that go by "what i've seen" generally imagine she's a poor pr.
08:08 ThickAsThieves it's also funny that this is just economics, nothing sinister
08:08 ThickAsThieves having mpoe-pr on tv just wouldnt be as profitable ad Mad Money
08:08 mircea_popescu well, science employed to dominate idiocy is the idiot's definition of sinister.
08:08 mircea_popescu thinkaboutit :D
08:09 mircea_popescu anyway, i woke up after six hour's sleep with two article ideas in my head and ended up writing a third in chat while taking a break from writing my first ;/
08:10 mircea_popescu to think people actually BUY drugs. whatcha got endocrine glands for, ya tits ?!
08:10 ThickAsThieves people like variety i guess
08:10 nubbins` ^
08:10 nubbins` my endocrine glands don't produce thc
08:11 ThickAsThieves Hormones - The REAL Gateway Drug
08:11 mircea_popescu nubbins` so return them and negrate your parents ? :D
08:12 ThickAsThieves how long before negrate is in the dictionary?
08:12 ThickAsThieves ;;ud negrate
08:13 nubbins` ;:rate mom -1 bad glands
08:13 ThickAsThieves negrate
08:13 ThickAsThieves (N) 1. An ungrateful person, behaving as if they were entitled to everything. 2. A white person behaving as if they were black.
08:13 ThickAsThieves (V) 1. To treat someone of the same color with the disrespect of racial discrimination. 2. To disregard a respectable black person because of their skin color
08:13 ThickAsThieves verb: give a negative rating to a posting or a definition in Urbandictionary (thumbs down)
08:14 nubbins` huh.
08:15 mircea_popescu dude so meta and self absorbed and awareness rasing this.
08:17 ThickAsThieves it is pretty on point considering your efforts to clearly define niggers.txt
08:19 mircea_popescu lol
08:22 pankkake "difficulty" : 1024.00000000 harsh
08:24 ThickAsThieves how much hashing is that?
08:24 ThickAsThieves Are we at one TH yet?
08:24 ThickAsThieves :)
08:25 ThickAsThieves anyone know a better way to reach bluematt than this coingen email?
08:30 nubbins` kiloharsh
08:30 nubbins` speaking of THC
08:32 ThickAsThieves tetrahydrocoin?
08:33 nubbins` tetrahydrocannabinoin
08:33 nubbins` increase your harsh rate
08:37 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2014/kink-high/ <this is #1
08:37 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves use his gpg email

08:39 ThickAsThieves thx
08:39 nubbins` hahah hey look, i'm practically in this article

08:45 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 1 @ 0.24310363 BTC
08:48 ThickAsThieves btw nubbins I really like that art video you shared
08:49 nubbins` the guy's very earnest
08:49 ThickAsThieves the guy is nuts, but it's a great mind opener
08:49 nubbins` maybe a bit obsessed with scarlett johansson
08:49 ThickAsThieves hehe
08:49 nubbins` but he makes some surprisingly lucid points
08:49 nubbins` like how there are no "problems" in art
08:50 ThickAsThieves his convinction and consistency made it easy to follow along on something so abstract
08:50 mircea_popescu did i miss this ?
08:50 nubbins` http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2YLZc_gDMM
08:50 ThickAsThieves i suspect the editing floor contains some less respectable moments though
08:50 nubbins` haha
08:50 nubbins` freakouts
08:51 nubbins` the part where he goes on about whether a piece is "finished" or not is good, too
08:51 nubbins` gestures to a piece
08:51 nubbins` "is this finished now?"
08:51 nubbins` makes a yellow mark on it
08:51 mircea_popescu wow he's camera shy
08:51 nubbins` "now?"
08:51 ThickAsThieves oh yeha that was awesome
08:52 ThickAsThieves the kink article made me think of this
08:52 ThickAsThieves seems the answer to all these queries is Embrace Chaos
08:52 ThickAsThieves why is change so hard for the Old Republican
08:52 ThickAsThieves but so easy for Kink High?
08:52 nubbins` meese said it, all politicians must resign
08:53 mircea_popescu lmao. dictatorship of x comes, "alles super"
08:53 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3000 @ 0.00091008 = 2.7302 BTC [-]
08:53 nubbins` the bit about symbols, too
08:53 nubbins` carl jung would have loved to meet this guy
08:53 nubbins` or maybe the other way around? heh
08:55 mircea_popescu lol alles relic vient kaputt machen
08:55 mircea_popescu ahahaha so basically chimp guy wants no history
08:55 mircea_popescu he just wants to play
08:55 ThickAsThieves everything is a toy!
08:55 mircea_popescu i rest the case on the representation of southpark. this guy is mj, and i'm ignorant.
08:55 ThickAsThieves he musta went to Kink high
08:55 nubbins` all art is play!
08:55 mircea_popescu i doubt he has.
08:56 mircea_popescu i have, and it changes your perspective in a particular way.
08:57 ThickAsThieves you are bias
08:57 ThickAsThieves :)
08:57 mircea_popescu yup.
08:57 mircea_popescu i think when i die, i may become the god of bias.
08:58 nubbins` ThickAsThieves, there are some other good vice art talks too
08:58 nubbins` the one about bongout is what inspired me to start silkscreening on paper
08:59 nubbins` lel, related videos reminded me of another series they do
08:59 nubbins` where they feed some poor freelancer some acid and get him to cover an event
08:59 nubbins` like a dog show
08:59 ThickAsThieves i'll check it out, but if i get back into printing in any way I will be mad at you
08:59 mircea_popescu wait, is the fbi investigating vice, the drug marketplace yet ?
08:59 nubbins` heh
08:59 nubbins` http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi_-PddFCKU
09:00 nubbins` ^westminster dog show on lsd
09:00 nubbins` there were points in that video where i legitimately felt bad for the guy
09:00 ThickAsThieves Bilk Road
09:00 mircea_popescu basically how did they call that thing where they paid homeless people to be abused ?
09:00 nubbins` bumfights?
09:00 mircea_popescu it's progressing, now you don't even spend money, just give them some crack
09:01 mircea_popescu and pretend it's art or w/e.
09:01 mircea_popescu funny how ideology works.
09:01 nubbins` fun fact, you don't need to pay homeless people to take crack
09:02 mircea_popescu fun fact : homeless people will refuse money, even in high amounts for easy jobs.
09:02 mircea_popescu meanwhile, homeless people will not refuse drugs, even cheap shitty drugs, and do anything for some.
09:02 mircea_popescu somehow being paid is demeaning, being drugged is empowering (this year)
09:03 nubbins` guy in video: "things that aren't necessarily interesting become extremely interesting"
09:03 nubbins` heh
09:03 nubbins` man, i've already seen this video, and watching it again is making me anxious for him
09:04 ThickAsThieves Is that a term? Doggers? No! Dog People!
09:05 ThickAsThieves even they know niggers.txt
09:05 virtuals mircea_popescu, hey, would quote "a Bitcoin billionaire from Romania" like to donate to a good cause, here is more information: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263445.msg4873516#msg4873516
09:05 mircea_popescu ty
09:06 Apocalyptic labcoin complaint heh
09:06 mircea_popescu virtuals have you read http://trilema.com/2013/the-anatomy-of-a-scam/ back in august last year ?
09:06 Duffer1 alberto about to spend a reallly long time in jail
09:06 Apocalyptic you know mpoe-pr warned it was a scam from the beginnin
09:06 nubbins` 5 bucks says virtualspade takes the money and runs
09:07 virtuals or dont you like to have anyting to do with labcoin, even helping to put alberto to jail
09:07 mircea_popescu virtuals answer the questionm will you.
09:07 virtuals I read that a long time ago, whet question
09:07 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 1 @ 0.24310363 BTC
09:07 mircea_popescu so then there it is : i already donated to those idiots more than what their skin is on average worth.
09:08 mircea_popescu some took the donation, some didn't.
09:08 mircea_popescu it's how these things work.
09:08 mircea_popescu those that didn't don't get a 2nd round today, it'd be unfair to their betters, that did take it.
09:08 virtuals ok, thank
09:08 virtuals *thanks
09:09 mircea_popescu np
09:09 mircea_popescu but since it's a topic, i wonder if anyone were to make a list of all the supposedly big businesses in btc ordered by the total btc sum they donated to exposing scams,
09:09 mircea_popescu how far on it my say 500 on harnett would put me.
09:11 Apocalyptic what happened with that harnett btw ?
09:11 mircea_popescu he sunk.
09:11 Apocalyptic he just defaulted and disappeared
09:11 Apocalyptic ?
09:11 mircea_popescu yeah.
09:12 Apocalyptic i've read some interesting article about him a while ago
09:12 Apocalyptic written by a supposed investor saying how confident he was, cause Patrick got too much to loose if he ran
09:12 mircea_popescu derp.
09:12 mircea_popescu at the time it was a big deal, people really bought it.
09:13 nubbins` "what good is piles of btc if you don't have your internet friends"
09:13 mircea_popescu more importantly, at the time it was really common, to the point of being a rule, that nobody made public default complaints
09:13 mircea_popescu making it insanely easy for the scammers
09:13 mircea_popescu afaik mpoe-pr going all public with it was absolutely the first case a default was prosecuted in public in btc
09:13 mircea_popescu it set some standards, changed some things, etc.
09:13 Apocalyptic because they were ashamed of being scammed ?
09:13 mircea_popescu yup
09:14 mircea_popescu and because they're generally immoral fuckwits, who'd rather suck up to the scammer as if he were their daddy
09:14 mircea_popescu "can i have at least a little back ?!?!?!"
09:14 mircea_popescu i quoted some stuff from the scamdarknet earlier, pretty much illustrating this style.
09:14 nubbins` "i'm in a really bad spot financially right now"
09:14 pankkake this is still going on :(
09:14 jborkl Just the tip ok? Don't shove it all the way
09:14 mircea_popescu jborkl i got liek 19 inches of pure love throbbin' here :D
09:15 jborkl Lol
09:15 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 2 @ 0.1508 = 0.3016 BTC [-]
09:16 mircea_popescu pankkake course it is. like infection you know ? there's always going to be bacteria on your skin
09:16 mircea_popescu the idea is for it not to be in the liver or w/e
09:16 mircea_popescu complete sterility is apparently a serious health risk.
09:16 nubbins` not even apparently
09:17 mircea_popescu how you mean ?
09:17 nubbins` how you gonna digest!
09:17 mircea_popescu you only eat shit you don't need help with
09:17 nubbins` pure glucose is a tough diet
09:17 mircea_popescu ikr ?
09:17 pankkake lack of bacteria in modern diets makes digesting harder
09:18 nubbins` speaking of food
09:18 pankkake eat more dirt
09:18 nubbins` i read an article about gut flora of natural vs c-section births recently
09:18 nubbins` was interesting
09:18 mircea_popescu pankkake actually it's possible that the recent rise in ass licking as a sexual practice is fundamentally driven by the need to compensate for a lack of bacterial load in the digestive tract.
09:18 mircea_popescu i wrote about this at some point, in romanian.
09:18 pankkake lol
09:18 ThickAsThieves maybe thats all eating is, humans trying to find the perfect mix of microbes to balance the gut for immortality
09:19 nubbins` ThickAsThieves, it really is
09:19 mircea_popescu possibly.
09:19 jborkl Well it didn't work out for the human centipede
09:19 nubbins` consider that a human is just a bacteria colony surrounded by a fleshy support system
09:19 mircea_popescu lol jborkl
09:19 nubbins` bacteria colony doesn't do so well, fleshy support system suffers
09:19 mircea_popescu nubbins` that view is not unlike the view that human society is basically women trying to survive men fucking their shit up.
09:19 mircea_popescu popular with some nutty groups :D
09:20 nubbins` mircea_popescu: well, kill all the women and see how far you get :P
09:20 mircea_popescu no need to kill them.
09:20 decimation So it seems answer to "why bitcoin?" is "gentlemen prefer blondes" or "choose the black pawn"
09:20 decimation seems legit
09:21 nubbins` i wonder how much of humans' love for cheese, yogurt, cured meats, fermented dishes, etc etc is bacteria telling us what to eat
09:21 mircea_popescu decimation well, if the q is "why bitcoin rather than the altcoin" then yes.
09:21 decimation And if the q is "why bitcoin rather than the fiat" also yes?
09:22 ThickAsThieves is there a religion for this, worshiping bacteria and our role as its protectorate?
09:22 mircea_popescu that q is a lot more complex, but did you read discussion with herbi a few days back ?
09:22 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves only in sf afaik.
09:23 nubbins` ThickAsThieves, it's much more subliminal than religion
09:23 nubbins` is there a religion for being selfish?
09:23 mircea_popescu yes, actually.
09:23 nubbins` heh, as soon as i hit enter
09:23 nubbins` "wait..."
09:23 mircea_popescu lol
09:25 mircea_popescu so since y'all are a lot more knowledgeable than me : is there a manga/hentai/whatever you call the weird cartoons which is predicated on females being decerebrated at birth, kept on live support systems, used as reproductive furniture ?
09:26 mircea_popescu apparently i broke his client.
09:26 Duffer1 the only thing i can think of that comes close isn't a manga
09:26 Duffer1 Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang - kate wilhelm i believe
09:27 mircea_popescu this seems kind-of obvious, i thought teh people making them were creative and like... taboo-less
09:27 nubbins` mircea_popescu: sorry, court-controlled regex disconnect
09:27 nubbins` lel, i kid
09:27 mircea_popescu lol
09:27 nubbins` i'm sure there's a "manga" of everything
09:27 nubbins` in the sense that some weirdo drew up a few doodles of exactly this
09:27 mircea_popescu i use the same stereotype :)
09:28 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9300 @ 0.00091008 = 8.4637 BTC [-]
09:28 pankkake I have seen those, but they're not japanese
09:28 nubbins` did i tell you about the drawing i found when cleaning out the rental after the last tenants?
09:28 ThickAsThieves that is exactly the only reason i enjoy some anime and asian horror, no taboo
09:28 ThickAsThieves allows new areas of creativity
09:28 Duffer1 lol
09:28 nubbins` some weird masked jester lifting up a My Little Pony's tail to examine the goods?
09:29 mircea_popescu Duffer1 kind-of anvilicious really.
09:29 nubbins` somewhere, someone is wondering "i wonder if that's been done..."
09:29 ThickAsThieves did aeon flux have incubator people in it?
09:29 mircea_popescu pankkake what are they, swiss ?
09:29 mircea_popescu aeon flux had an incredibly disappointing charlize theron in it
09:30 Duffer1 the mtv animated series was amazing
09:30 assbot AMAZING COMPANY!
09:30 mircea_popescu good god, anyone sane filming that'd have had her half hour nude and the rest in latex.
09:30 mircea_popescu the spray-on kind.
09:32 decimation Yes. I read it earlier and now I re-read it. So the transcendental nature of Bitcoin describes its ontology. Bitcoin's effect on the world of humans is more like that of a soveirgn state.
09:32 ThickAsThieves someone wants to buy some Altcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=443108.msg4874054#msg4874054
09:32 pankkake I don't know, I don't think I kept those. I've seen a few novels too. crazy stuff
09:32 mircea_popescu decimation even without going into all of that : bitcoin has massive advantages over fiats. chief among which its fungibility.
09:33 decimation Much like Mr. Yarvin's Goldenstein : http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2008/02/return-to-castle-goldenstein-gold.html
09:33 mircea_popescu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=443108.msg4873881#msg4873881 << this post is epic.
09:33 decimation Except Bitcoinstein has a much brighter looking future than Goldenstein
09:33 mircea_popescu so succint, yet so universally representative.
09:34 mircea_popescu decimation now you're making me read more of that stuff.
09:34 mircea_popescu it always pisses me off, because the kid is clearly bright and yet clearly wilfully stupid. anyway.
09:34 decimation Sorry. He has his good moments, but I agree he is a spaz
09:40 ThickAsThieves :)
09:41 ThickAsThieves getting my hands on the source will be Altcoin's "2 weeks"
09:44 decimation Bitcoin is immune from legal tender law. Unlike fiat, no bank will be able to force depositors to accept bank credit (in bitcoin) as fungible with actual Bitcoin
09:47 assbot [HAVELOCK] [COG] 6 @ 0.04899931 = 0.294 BTC [+] {2}
09:47 mircea_popescu well this article does a lot to explain his psychological drive in being so bitcoin-butthurt
09:48 mircea_popescu anyway, the arguments he makes are mostly sound and generally banal, it just so happens they didnt work out for gold.
09:48 mircea_popescu the reason they didn't is that gold has a negative mining return.
09:49 mircea_popescu what i mean by this is : romania sits on a mountain of gold. it was the main source of minable gold for the roman empire, when they finally conquered dacia the local king's treasury financed 100 days of straight games with plenty left over.
09:49 mircea_popescu the austrians mined it, transylvania still sits on a pile of untold millions of ounces.
09:50 mircea_popescu about ten years ago a mining group formed to cut out one certain mountain, convert it to gold (and silver, palladium, tungsten, etc etc) and pay the government 20%
09:50 mircea_popescu (of the gold only).
09:50 mircea_popescu they;ve been trying to push this deal for the entire decade, hiring pr, doing tv shows, paying the idiots living there fiddy bux a head to go "omfg we're dying of hunger", the works.
09:50 mircea_popescu it never worked, to date, it'll never work to date.
09:51 mircea_popescu my objection, and i'm confident the thing that sunk the project (not for it being mine, but for it being sound) is simply this :
09:51 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2550 @ 0.00090452 = 2.3065 BTC [-]
09:51 mircea_popescu why bother with all the digging, all the cyanide ponds, all that, just to get gold out fo the ground, move it 500 miles south west and then... dig a hole, put it there and guard it ?
09:52 mircea_popescu just put up a sign, National Bank of Romania Gold Vault, Rosia Montana Division on that mountain and be don with it.
09:52 mircea_popescu it's,,, just as gold, and just as burried, where it stands.
09:52 mircea_popescu in short : a land deed on a gold field is as good as gold itself. you have a negative incentive to actually mine it.
09:52 decimation Indeed. Gold in the ground as ore is just as good as gold in the ground as a bar.
09:52 mircea_popescu whereas you have a positive incentive to mine bitcoin.
09:52 mircea_popescu so the driving force isn't bitcoin's immunity to the legal tender law,
09:52 ThickAsThieves I actually know a guy that manages contract negotiations between governments and mines
09:52 mircea_popescu it's bitcoin's imunity to the real estate law.
09:53 ThickAsThieves he of course paints this as vital to their nation
09:53 mircea_popescu bitcoin is immune to human agency, which means you can't pass a law to hinder it's fungibility.
09:53 mircea_popescu more importantly tho... there's no rational way to represent property in yet-unmined blocks. this is so obvious it escapes notice
09:53 ThickAsThieves but when 20-yr contracts run out, his job gets trickier
09:53 mircea_popescu yet it;s the more important factor.
09:53 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves i bet.
09:54 decimation Right, unlike anything physical, unmined bitcoin is utterly useless
09:54 chetty You can pass such a law, they pass unenforceable law all the time
09:54 mircea_popescu right-o. precisely BECAUSE it is in no way physical.
09:54 ThickAsThieves isnt everything not a thing useless?
09:54 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 19084 @ 0.00090646 = 17.2989 BTC [+] {2}
09:54 mircea_popescu or in other words, the reasons all the "experts" in old-fiat crap give for bitcoin's failure
09:54 Duffer1 law where though chetty?
09:54 mircea_popescu are in fact its points of strength
09:54 mircea_popescu this strengthening the chief pillar of all hermeneutics.
09:55 decimation Right, and all the game-theory arguments about savings is really just restating Gresham's law
09:55 decimation except bitcoin is harder than gold
09:55 decimation Goldenstein < Bitcoinstein
09:56 mircea_popescu indeed.
09:56 mircea_popescu he does get a lot of mileage in wordcount out of restating the banal, but he does so in a pleasant form and this is a good thing,
09:56 mircea_popescu you never know which exact word combo is some guy's aha moment.
09:56 mircea_popescu nevertheless, it's still just as much dicking about with shit we know.
09:59 decimation I find the goldbug's (enemies of the fiatists) objections to bitcoin to be amusing, because they complain about the lack of physicality.
09:59 decimation Whereas that's bitcoin's greatest strength, as you point out.
09:59 mircea_popescu well in their defense, they just rooted for the correct principle their whole life, fighting valliantly for their sanity as an oppressed minority.
09:59 mircea_popescu to have, within their lifetime, their cookie stolen by a newcomer...
10:00 ThickAsThieves Old Republicans
10:00 mircea_popescu imagine if after having pampered jesus for 30 years, the entire thing was suddenly taken over by baby allah.
10:00 mircea_popescu fucking religious war.
10:00 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves pretty much.
10:01 mircea_popescu so i can understand why a 50 something guy with a bunch of gold bars and no functioning linux distro is fucking pissed at bitcoin.
10:01 mircea_popescu and tbh i kinda feel for him. sadly tho, they also can't be helped, because... as tat points out, "The problem here is that you have no mechanism with which to do so, and that because language is not employed for the purpose you imagine it employed."
10:02 ThickAsThieves and why in 15 years bitcoiners will be crying over some newer thing
10:02 Duffer1 i'd be surprised if it took 15 years
10:02 ThickAsThieves me too
10:03 decimation At least James Turk is smart enough to recognize a good thing when he sees it. Hopefully he will get his bitcoin exchange running at some point.
10:04 ThickAsThieves language exists so we dont have to hit each other and grunt to communicate, just more economy at work
10:04 ThickAsThieves probly mostly cuz female facial expressions were never well-interpreted too
10:05 mircea_popescu possibly, tho i find female facials easier to read than males.
10:05 mircea_popescu i suspect the reason is people tend to spend more time looking at other bits, and so lack practice.
10:06 mircea_popescu anyway. it's not clear atm that an improvement on bitcoin is in principle possible.
10:06 ThickAsThieves i always considered myself instinctively above average with body language
10:06 mircea_popescu this is true of gold, too, at least up to about 2005 or so. however... it did take > 2k years with gold.
10:06 mircea_popescu maybe 15 is short. maybe we have 250 years.
10:06 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves so does everyone else.
10:07 ThickAsThieves yeah but me more so!
10:07 mircea_popescu those with good reason for good reason, those without good reason for d-k reasons.
10:08 decimation www.netagio.com <-- has anyone used this exchange?
10:08 ThickAsThieves just realized that this and our prior bacterial topic bring new subtlety to "trust your gut"

10:11 decimation LoL they have a nifty javascript historical bitcoin-price chart: http://www.netagio.com/market-data
10:11 mircea_popescu did i see 1024 altscamcoin difficulty earlier ? that means you missed no quadrupling yet ?!
10:12 Duffer1 any thoughts on the recent high profile bankster suicides?
10:12 Apocalyptic they finally saw their derivative balance
10:12 pankkake mircea_popescu: yup
10:12 Apocalyptic more seriously though, no idea
10:12 Duffer1 ha
10:13 mircea_popescu pankkake make a bitbet bet as to how many 4s you get ?
10:13 pankkake I'm not mining anything now :(
10:13 mircea_popescu Duffer1 people generally do not wish to live in any possible world.
10:13 mircea_popescu they have a set of worlds they'll live in, and a set of worlds they won't.
10:13 ThickAsThieves did Altcoin burn out your chips?
10:14 pankkake I guess the bet could be "altcoin difficulty to be exactly X", but I don't know what could be a good number
10:14 ThickAsThieves Altcoin gets listed on Cryptsy is a better bet
10:14 Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, that implies something must have recently changed that is strong enough to shift the reality to the other category of worlds
10:14 pankkake I think there are too many blocks per second and thus even my good finds get rejected
10:14 mircea_popescu pankkake it could be "altcoin difficulty will be a power of 4 by bitcoin block X"
10:15 ThickAsThieves How about this bet : Altcoin is the best altcoin. This bet resolves as Yes if the answer is No.
10:15 mircea_popescu Apocalyptic it's not necessarily true. if you won't live in a world without cunt, and right this second i turn all women's crotch into angels' how long would it be before you realise i did it ?
10:15 decimation tat lol
10:16 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves somehow i suspect it's not getting accepted :p
10:16 ThickAsThieves cuz your mods have no appreciation for the arts
10:16 Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, a matter of days i guess
10:16 mircea_popescu so there you go.
10:16 ThickAsThieves just like my schrodinger's bitbet idea
10:16 ThickAsThieves i will see that one implemented before i die!
10:16 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves actually, strangest thing : they do! if it has my seal of approval on it, they'll do it even if it makes no sense.
10:16 mircea_popescu now that's art.
10:17 ThickAsThieves thats slavery, not art

10:25 mircea_popescu zing.
10:25 Apocalyptic i don't follow the scamining scene
10:25 mircea_popescu Apocalyptic perhaps the reason it is an easy call today is that today happens in an universe which was shaped by the uneasy calling yesterday.
10:26 kakobrekla 3 months ago i was getting ripped
10:26 mircea_popescu and perhaps had that not been called then, it'd be just as difficult to call today as it was then, and then you'd know about it,

10:28 mircea_popescu this is a well documented phenomenon in movies/entertainment, where a show that pioneers a lot of new devices that are then amply copied, when seen by later generations seems "stale" and "uninteresting"
10:28 nubbins` pascale's assessment of funds on havelock: "none of these seem to be worth buying"
10:28 mircea_popescu sorta the same thing at work, in the world which it made, which is entirely populated by its clones and copies, it seems... oddly banal.

14:06 mircea_popescu fact is, they failed to publish. who needs a sob story ?
14:07 ThickAsThieves okay i will need a lil help with the Altcoin source
14:07 ThickAsThieves he's getting it, but says we'll need to sort something about the genesis block
14:07 ThickAsThieves [14:03] <BlueMatt> the only issue is the genesis block is like timestamped or so to make them all unique
14:07 ThickAsThieves [14:04] <BlueMatt> so you'd need to figure out the genesis block, but other than that it would be the same
14:07 ThickAsThieves [14:05] <BlueMatt> you could dump the genesis block via rpc, I think
14:08 mircea_popescu well and he doesn't know the timestamp ?

16:41 mircea_popescu meh
16:41 pizzaman1337 it'll catch up
16:41 mircea_popescu 283645
16:41 pankkake that's not going to help me win the diff under 10% bet :(
16:42 mircea_popescu it actually might keep it going to 285k
16:42 mircea_popescu actually... perversely enough that bet depends on there not being a lot of power thrown in early.

17:17 deadweasel pankkake: start pumping out altcoins like TAT, maybe you'll pull some off btc ;)

17:30 mircea_popescu i thought they were pumping it together.
17:39 jurov no xenu. bot good.
17:39 jurov *but
17:40 mircea_popescu hello sir
17:40 mircea_popescu we here at mp house all halal, no xenu at all.
17:40 decimation TAT's altcoin should be ported to work inside Ethereum
17:41 decimation maybe you can trade altcoin for ethers or whatever
17:41 mircea_popescu does that actually require any chances on the coin side ?
17:41 mircea_popescu ethereum can just do it neh ?
17:42 jurov i vote for porting bernankoin
17:43 decimation right, Ethereum just does whatever, because it's turing complete.

17:46 ThickAsThieves [17:41] <lewicki> by your definition that makes Altcoin just as purposeless though, right?
17:46 ThickAsThieves [17:44] <ThickAsThieves> Wrong, i just stated its purpose. Without Altcoin, all altcoins would be purposeless.
17:46 deadweasel and the circle of life goes on.
17:46 deadweasel circle-jerk*
17:47 mircea_popescu my magical future predictive ai (whose name is joan) fails to predict any possible alternative to this thing taking over altspace.
17:47 mircea_popescu it's just too stupid for anything else.
17:47 Namworld Wait, in the header. What's the name on the board. It ends with O.
17:48 mircea_popescu Namworld some localised monopoly.
17:48 Namworld Looks like it's written "Monopolio". Is that it?
17:48 mircea_popescu i think so
17:48 mircea_popescu spanish or italian or some shit
17:49 Namworld Weird
17:49 Namworld Couldn't they have just changed the y for an i? Monopoli
17:50 Namworld Would have sounded about the same as in english that way.
17:50 mircea_popescu i suppose when people localise shit how it sounds in english is not a consideration.

17:53 nubbins` as an aside, i find "scammor" to be a pleasant, if unintentional, spelling
17:53 mircea_popescu no, it was intentional.
17:54 nubbins` even more pleasant, then
17:54 mircea_popescu hacker - haxxor
17:54 pankkake is that glamor+scammer?
17:54 nubbins` brings me back to a heated grade-school argument over "better" vs "bettor" to describe one who bets
17:54 mircea_popescu scammer - scammor. to distinguish between the fucktard and the person sort-of doing it, technically, but with coolness excuses.
17:55 pankkake so when you get scammed, you can say "at least the guy was good"
17:55 mircea_popescu pankkake ever been with a hooker ?
17:55 nubbins` hookor
17:55 mircea_popescu lol
17:56 pankkake no
17:56 mircea_popescu koh-i-noor
17:56 nubbins` haha
17:56 mircea_popescu well, my next question was, ever been with a hooker you didn't mind paying.
17:56 nubbins` AMAZING PENS
17:56 nubbins` http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koh-i-Noor_Hardtmuth
17:56 mircea_popescu yup. i ate a lot of those.
17:57 nubbins` they're popular with screenprinters who do things the old-school way (ink on vellum)
17:58 mircea_popescu some scams are fun. you go to vegas and drop a coupla grand, whatever, it's an amusement park.
17:59 nubbins` i think most people doing that don't have fun
17:59 pankkake I'm too much of a scrooge to ever pay for those things
17:59 mircea_popescu how are the girls supposed to live if you don't pay ?
17:59 nubbins` scrooge de canard

18:06 mircea_popescu yes you did.
18:07 nubbins` interesting stuff
18:07 lippoper yes no need to bring it up
18:07 nubbins` the take-away i got from it is that you should smear shit on your newborn if you Aliened it into the world
18:07 nubbins` and no, before you ask, i'm not a doctor
18:07 pankkake just eat on the floor
18:07 mircea_popescu kinda why pre-birth enemas went out of fashion

19:29 mircea_popescu you're thinking like a dragon.

22:15 jurov yes almost
22:15 jurov it was complicated process and still not finished
22:17 herbijudlestoids this interview is supposedly about decentralisation of energy but seems to cover the idea that crowdfunding, p2p lending etc: "Even the assistant director general of the Bank of England, Andy Haldane has said this is showing signs of becoming such a trend, such a potential mega-trend, that it could disenfranchise the main banks, the high street banks in the way that I think some of these trends in renewable energy
22:20 herbijudlestoids i guess this is the article he was referencing http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/9749573/Crowdfunding-could-revolutionise-lending-says-Andrew-Haldane.html
22:20 herbijudlestoids definitely considering the aggregate demand for junk bonds it does seem there is a lot of stupid people out there willing to fund anything
22:21 mircea_popescu derp.
22:21 mircea_popescu imo "crowdfunding" as in, kickfunder etc is a fad not unlike social media.
22:21 mircea_popescu then again, i'm the god of bias.
22:21 herbijudlestoids i personally dont disagree, but interesting to hear someone from BoE say that technology could kill banking
22:22 herbijudlestoids i guess its probly more efficient for the economy for people to fund bad ideas directly than have to buy junk bonds in the bad ideas
22:22 lewicki not if they all commit suicide first...
22:22 mircea_popescu yeah, interesting to me too. in the following sense : a londoner goes to the country, and upon hearing a goose meow he expresses his astonishment : listen to the cock neigh!
22:22 Duffer1 i wish people would stop throwing money at kickstarters
22:23 Duffer1 until kickstarters start offering equity
22:23 mircea_popescu anyway. bad ideas being funded is a serious problem for any society.
22:23 herbijudlestoids they cant offer equity

22:24 Duffer1 i'd love to see that
22:24 herbijudlestoids somehow i doubt most kickstarters would be considered viable by mircea_popescu for listing though :P
22:24 Duffer1 exactly
22:25 herbijudlestoids i wish cunts would stop hyping bitcloud :(
22:26 Vexual whats bitcloud?
22:26 herbijudlestoids approx the same idea as urbit or tornet, rehyped and the tech media are cum guzzling it hard
22:26 Vexual ah
22:27 herbijudlestoids except the difference is both urbit and tornet actually have some code committed somewhere
22:27 herbijudlestoids bitcloud has nothing.
22:27 mircea_popescu but bitcloud has bit and cloud
22:27 mircea_popescu you understand nothing
22:27 Vexual sounds good
22:27 mircea_popescu actually, did moldbug&co ever manage to stop urbit from crashing ?
22:27 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: my official job title is Director of Cloud Operations, so i like to think i know something :)

22:28 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids something you may know, but this is hindering you from seeing the true pure beauty of Bit and Cloud!
22:28 benkay mircea_popescu: it's somewhat less leaky and crashy
22:28 mircea_popescu if you had done nothing but reddit, retardopedia and lesssex for the past two decades...
22:28 mircea_popescu benkay so how long has it been online currently ?
22:29 benkay hah got me
22:29 benkay and what do you mean by "online" and "long"?
22:29 mircea_popescu ok, did it crash in the current month ?
22:29 mircea_popescu lmao
22:29 herbijudlestoids has anyone come up with any useful use cases for urbit? all i could think of was a mutt clone lol

22:35 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2014/people-have-made-blogs/ << see here herbijudlestoids, avoid such surprises.
22:35 mircea_popescu it's actually mike's blog.

22:36 mircea_popescu one of the things i enjoy most about bitcoin is all the shit people don't know. ot
22:36 mircea_popescu it's like... :D
22:36 Vexual thats me
22:36 Vexual im waiting for benkays cheat sheet
22:37 herbijudlestoids yo, so based on the bitcointalk forum, which is i assume populated by heavily qualified financial analysts, wasnt the price of MPOE supposed to be "negative" this morning?
22:37 herbijudlestoids i was looking forward to scooping up the entire company
22:37 herbijudlestoids and having mircea_popescu pay me for the privilege
22:37 Vexual snooze you lose
22:37 mircea_popescu ^
22:37 herbijudlestoids did you already buy it Vexual ?
22:37 herbijudlestoids can i buy it off you for -3BTC?
22:38 Vexual mpoe?
22:38 mircea_popescu Vexual at the rate benkay is posting on that cascade of his, the cheatsheet will need a flatbed truck.
22:38 Vexual ah the trivia list
22:38 Vexual no i didnt buy it
22:38 mircea_popescu also, benkay baby, more naked girl / dressed pitbull pics. you've lernered nothing off trilema ?
22:38 Vexual i was hoping it would be free then returned in kind
22:39 Vexual but i should pay for it more than mp should
22:39 Vexual hes already got it in his head
22:39 mircea_popescu all i have is like these altcoins
22:39 jurov benkay is actually paid in debts
22:40 jurov Vexual so you should make one first
22:40 Vexual hes gonna pop out overed in gold
22:40 Vexual one what?

22:41 mircea_popescu speaking of php. the stuff had me in a state of ptss for a few hours
22:41 Vexual wait if bitwasp gets finished, that'll be like altcoin pools of drug markets

22:42 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: i did, after reading about how silk road went down they wer eall so fucking stupid
22:42 herbijudlestoids but there is a new one i read about, running on i2p
22:42 herbijudlestoids sounds much more secure
22:42 Apocalyptic security-wise it's a disaster
22:42 herbijudlestoids this one http://www.dailydot.com/crime/deep-web-black-markets-beyond-tor-i2p/
22:42 mircea_popescu lay it on us Apocalyptic
22:42 herbijudlestoids "The Marketplace"
22:43 herbijudlestoids if they manage to take that one down i will be impressed
22:44 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15081 @ 0.00093244 = 14.0621 BTC [+]
22:44 Apocalyptic it appears that almost every new marketplace is prone to basic SQL injections
22:44 herbijudlestoids lol
22:44 Apocalyptic more drama on that on #bitcoin-hidden everyday
22:45 mircea_popescu anything specific about this i2p thing ?
22:46 herbijudlestoids asking me?
22:46 mircea_popescu no, Apocalyptic
22:47 Apocalyptic not that I recall of, let me grep the logs
22:47 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 1 @ 0.24310363 BTC
22:47 herbijudlestoids at least judging from that article, it sounds like th eguys who set it up have tried their hardest to learn from the failures of the other morons
22:47 herbijudlestoids i still really cant believe the security behind silk road was so fucken poor
22:48 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 1 @ 0.2 BTC [+]
22:48 mircea_popescu why not ?
22:48 Vexual the real dpr is in tokyo stinking of ylang ylang
22:48 TomServo I really hope so.
22:49 TomServo Like herbijudlestoids said.. it's sad otherwise.
22:49 mircea_popescu i thought he was with elvis
22:49 Vexual poor zombie tho
22:49 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: i just kind of assumed that anyone who wanted to setup a website like that might be the kind of person who knows even the first thing about security
22:49 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids you know, this entire generation of twentyspomething fuckups strictly exists because we keep presuming.
22:50 mircea_popescu exactly these types of presumtpions. they're like some mutant cockroaches which have somehow adapted to live in the cracks of this presumption.
22:50 herbijudlestoids yep, well you can bet the big vendors on those sites are now doing their "security due diligence" before they list products on a given market
22:50 Apocalyptic <herbijudlestoids> i still really cant believe the security behind silk road was so fucken poor // then you won't believe this
22:50 Apocalyptic http://www.deepdotweb.com/2014/01/29/cantina-marketplace-pwnd-admin-password-was-password1/
22:50 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids you can bet no such thing.
22:51 mircea_popescu you know, no ammount of salmon being eaten by bears makes the salmon wear fucking german ww1 helmets.
22:51 mircea_popescu they just take their chances. they survive by schooling.
22:51 Vexual cool ones do
22:51 mircea_popescu that's your us druggies.
22:52 jurov it's not just twentysomethings. the password for national office that gives security clearances
22:52 herbijudlestoids lullllllwut Apocalyptic
22:52 jurov was "mbusr123"
22:52 jurov guess what was the office named
22:52 Vexual maoney bursary
22:52 Vexual ?
22:53 jurov NBU SR
22:53 jurov and the pass was nbusr123
22:53 Vexual ah
22:53 mircea_popescu derp.

22:54 Apocalyptic just unreal
22:54 herbijudlestoids baaaa
22:54 herbijudlestoids i guess the barrier to entry is just too low

22:59 herbijudlestoids iv got "So this urbit thing" and "People have made blogs" saved in my list, as well as "The stuff all good conspiracy theories start with" because i wanna see the photo of MPOE-PR :P
23:01 mircea_popescu <mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-02-2014#471866 <
23:01 herbijudlestoids ah right right
23:01 herbijudlestoids i see
23:02 herbijudlestoids my main concern is if you setup a legit, correctly secured darknet site, its just going to make you an even bigger target for the NSA really
23:03 herbijudlestoids youll be going up against a very scary adversary who will hand your details over to the FBI or local equivalent as soon as they de-anon your server
23:03 herbijudlestoids not sure the risk/reward is skewed in your favor
23:03 Vexual or visa versa
23:03 mircea_popescu why would you be in the us ?
23:03 Apocalyptic ^
23:04 herbijudlestoids why would your location matter to the NSA?
23:04 Vexual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLixRMmzsy4
23:04 herbijudlestoids in fact being in the US is pretty much the only legal defense against NSA spying lol
23:04 mircea_popescu herp.
23:04 Vexual :)
23:04 mircea_popescu 1. nsa is nowhere near as competent as they'd like you believe
23:05 mircea_popescu 2. most jurisdictions couldn't give less of a shit about the us and its problems.
23:05 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 1 @ 0.24310363 BTC
23:05 mircea_popescu the idea is to implement technically sound solutions. this means god himself can not de-anon your server.
23:05 mircea_popescu if you can't do that, you've got little business doing it in the first place.
23:06 mircea_popescu it'd be like bitcoin relying not on chain but on people being nice to each other.
23:06 Apocalyptic i really don't see HK or Russia extradite a drug marketplace owner
23:06 Vexual make it cant break it only existed very recently
23:08 herbijudlestoids the way i see it workin gis something like this: FBI discovers new online drug marketplace, probably tipped off from dutch intelligence or similar agency who actually has the knowhow. they poke it, cant de-anon it, and so they call up the NSA to take a poke. initial pokes are unsuccessful so they go all out against it.
23:08 herbijudlestoids somehow i feel like the NSA is probably quite competent enough considering the resources at their disposal ;)
23:08 mircea_popescu except they have a list of things to do
23:08 mircea_popescu and a list of people that can do it.
23:08 Vexual yeah snowden tok it with him
23:09 mircea_popescu and the worst morale in the history of secret servicing.
23:09 mircea_popescu now... the 2nd list is always shorter.
23:09 mircea_popescu and so... no. they don't have the resources to anytihng.
23:09 mircea_popescu besides, the nsa is dead. the us is scrambling to create a new, actually secret replacement, while pretending nsa is still a thing.
23:09 mircea_popescu that puts further pressure on the manpower available.
23:10 herbijudlestoids s/NSA/5eyes spy conglomerate
23:10 herbijudlestoids when i say NSA i dont mean NSA so much as any sigint that has permissions for global ops
23:10 mircea_popescu you work in hosting, right ? how many competent sysadmins are there, that you can actually motivate to do the job ?
23:10 mircea_popescu and how many jobs need doing ?
23:10 Vexual none
23:11 herbijudlestoids true that unemployment for good ops is very low to nonexistent in our particular sector atm
23:11 herbijudlestoids mostly i write the puppet modules and we hire meatsacks to watch errors
23:12 mircea_popescu so then what do you think, the problem eases as you go up ?
23:12 mircea_popescu it doesn't ease. it aggravates.
23:13 mircea_popescu what particular sector ? it's the same all through. how many db experts are there ?
23:13 mircea_popescu what atm ? it's been the case since 1960.
23:14 mircea_popescu smart people are few and far between. things they can do are the grass o nthe fields. monstrous socialist regimes have this problem compounded by the fact that they're only popular with idiots.
23:14 mircea_popescu the us may hire as many Fargo policewomen as it can pay.
23:14 mircea_popescu i'd be surprised if it can currently hire any ONE of the top five crackers in any field.
23:14 mircea_popescu even if it had infinite money, which it clearly does not.

23:19 herbijudlestoids haha i saw that
23:20 mircea_popescu "Someone should start a bank (or maybe someone has) that charges (rather than pays) interest and does not make loans. "
23:20 mircea_popescu this is what, amsterdamsche wisselbank
23:21 mircea_popescu fucktards with their "let's make the world fair" as if it weren't managed to bomb us all the fucking way to the stone age.
23:21 mircea_popescu the once glorious wester civilisation has to restart at fucking 1600 ?!
23:21 mircea_popescu flay a libertard alive today. he's earned it. then salt the wounds and make his mother watch.
23:22 Vexual pay a nigerian
23:23 herbijudlestoids in early 2009 when FASB changed the rules from mark to market, to mark to unicorn, it was obvious what was going on if it wasnt already. the banks are by "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles", completely insolvent.
23:23 herbijudlestoids so i dunno why this guy is bothering to talk about leverage and FDIC insurance lol
23:23 herbijudlestoids due diligence shows the banks as failed capitalist enterprises
23:23 herbijudlestoids dun need to go further than that.
23:24 Duffer1 fdic insurance is probably about the only thing the average american derp understands about banking
23:24 Duffer1 he's jsut using it as an example to highlight a point, smart guy knows his audience
23:24 mircea_popescu im with d.
23:25 mircea_popescu this is just damage control anyway. most of the deposits belong to companies, which a) are legally required to keep their funds in a bank and b) are not insured anyway.
23:26 mircea_popescu you think the cypriots had it bad... watch till it happens in the us.
