davout: Glotarolt why don't you start your own exchange
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: When, doesn't look like I'm sleeping
ThickAsThieves: imagine what else i don't know
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you know the "first they came for the tits, but i said nothing because i wasn't a tit, then they came for the cunt, but i said nothing for i wasn;'t a cunt, now i got nowhere to jack off" thing ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, i remember. those were the days when investors didn't lose btc weekly.
mircea_popescu: "First they came for the lawyers, and I didn't say anything because I am not a lawyer. Now everything is awesome."

MisterE: only pass/ don;t pass bets
mircea_popescu: i can read most stuff people need loupes for with my naked eyes, but that doesn't mean i want to
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude, my sight is fine. i can shoot sparrows half mile away. it's just i don't see most useless colors.

mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone ever offered.
mircea_popescu: sure, fat stupid guy caught in a position that wasn';t for him. it's understandable.
mircea_popescu: why do people keep doing this re mtgox, event x at t, event y at t+k, o look, y is all it took for x.
davout: BingoBoingo: you're drunk aren't you
mircea_popescu: davout no. you get a track id in all executed orders. if it matches the hash of an order of yours then that hit the book and disappeared. if it doesn't then your order was on the book and got hit by someone else.
davout: so if it isn't in your next stat you conclude it executed
davout: i didn't say it wasn't possible, i said it was handled in a way that qualifies as "a little weird" in my system
davout: mircea_popescu: iirc the stat doesn't tell you about executions for orders that never hit the book
davout: the basic reason to this iirc is that executions that are immediate don't appear in stats
mircea_popescu: well no, marketmaker means exactly you blow out the book on a regular basis if it doesn't conform.
davout: mircea_popescu: isn't that more arbitrage?
davout: i don't have time to work on it right now, but that's something i'll have to fix
davout: jurov: oic, my bot's algo is not very evolved yet, and won't place orders if it results in executions
jurov: davout don't sweat it, i'm in teasing mood
davout: jurov: because i haven't put in the time yet to re-enable their API
jurov: Ok :) so am asking now, why it't not on btccharts nor bitcoinity?
jurov: davout: have you seen my question why b-c isn't listed anywhere?

davout: BingoBoingo: ok, with pleasure! I can't play right now tho
davout: jurov: didn't he allow that earlier already?
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: I'm only one timezone over and haven't slept yet.
mircea_popescu: that you can't do for them, nobody can, and so until they learn to submit you;re not going to have business there.
Namworld: They aren't done yet proving themselves.
BingoBoingo: Namworld: They didn't want to let Mark hug out the scam accusations
mircea_popescu: i was talking to a friend earlier and i said "tis hard being a woman". she retorted "yeah, not only our brains don't work but tits and asses both droop with time too!"
BingoBoingo: Isn't that what the girls are for?
BingoBoingo: The other one hasn't just worked since version 7.5.1
BingoBoingo: The thing is there just aren't opportunites to do this anymore really.
BingoBoingo: It wasn't at its inception. This is the old "Fake it until you make it" 30k millionaire shit.
BingoBoingo: This fake messaging network business whatsapp is in isn't too different from the fake software development tools business Microsoft started with
B007: but I don't think you can compare Microsoft to WhatsApp
B007: Microsoft? I don't think you know what you're talking about
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i can't find people to take these easy bets with
BingoBoingo: Well, a lot of roads I have little occasion look much more impressive than they used to. Doesn't offer much utility though.
greenspan_fan: maybe? I honestly can't tell
greenspan_fan: I worked at one point for a place that was getting into social media, but once you're out of that sort of giddy milieu it just doesn't seem like it's much of a priority
moiety: it had been missing and turned up one day randomly where it shouldn't have been, so they got all suspicious of it lol
moiety: lol! i didn't know about this "incident"
asciilifeform: is worth considering even if you don't like to play for coin. encourages slow games...
asciilifeform: '...the first woodpecker would destroy civilization' - but he can't be arsed.
chetty: storing value is actually a bet isn't it? That there will be a future to use it in.
greenspan_fan: I can't spend "knowing how to make an engine", but knowing that I can do that (and having the plans/information to do so) stores value
greenspan_fan: wouldn't the degenerate case be a strangelet?
benkay: greenspan_fan: you don't need credits for comments.
greenspan_fan: mircea_popescu as you say, not a problem for reasonably wealthy individuals, but it means that if you don't already have a lot of fiat currency, you can't rely on bitcoin
Duffer1: that assumes a patch hasn't already been made
greenspan_fan: and that doesn't constitute a huge problem?
greenspan_fan: well look at transaction malleability; doesn't seem like a huge problem, but it hasn't been fixed yet
greenspan_fan: then couldn't you block the migration?
mircea_popescu: even if you somehow bash one hash function in, you still don't really have enough yet
mircea_popescu: i can't help but think you're pretty close to biofilm 3d printing.
Bugpowder: Most mutations kill the fluorescence (they don't match literate word, as a metaphor)
mircea_popescu: but isn't it 3^4 then ?
benkay: mike_c: the basic gist is that you can't spend it when btc price is going up 'cause derp, but then when you don't spend it in time you get a reaming from investors.
mike_c: benkay: recently? don't think so. i've been around for a couple discussions on the topic.
benkay: mike_c: did you see mircea_popescu's point a few days ago about the flipside of "you can raise it but you can't spend it"?
mike_c: yes, that one i didn't want to bother serving locally. but i will probably change that b/c their server is down more than mine.
mike_c: you don't have to clear cache. i version my static files like a good webdev.
mike_c: oh, i don't support mac
benkay: leastaways /income/ isn't serving anything for me.
mike_c: you didn't even read it yet benkay!
moiety: this is how gox is protecting itself from closure. If they don't let anyone withdraw ever again, they can't ever really close
mircea_popescu: the argument isn't "o wow look btc is broken", the argument merely is "o hey, remember when gavin was a total asshat in 2012 ?"
benkay: don't they know the assettes only get off on public nudity?

mircea_popescu: supposing of course the tiny shitty pictures aren't lifted.
mircea_popescu: and i mean who wouldn't be.
Duffer1: i've read them, proud to say i didn't skip any pages
asciilifeform: i don't insist that this is a useful mechanism, that necessarily does 'the job'. only that 1) i never found any trace that it was proposed before 2) i cannot see a 'textbook' reason why it ought not to work
mircea_popescu: you won't be able to establish the path of light after you've measured its position
mircea_popescu: but you can't determine the path for very good reasons
mircea_popescu: i guess ima clean it up and put it on the t.
benkay: hey mircea_popescu where's the essay in which you explain why proles can't afford privacy?
mircea_popescu: the problem with that is the solvent isn't so kind on the sensitive skin of the thigs
