BingoBoingo: I don'
t much care that I lost money when Auburn lost, but I dislike that the chaos which could have been neer spread.
nubbins`: but i can'
t recall ever having paid less than like $80 to ship something with them
Duffer1: if you don'
t find anything feel free to start some posts, brb downloading wallet
mircea_popescu: but i did say either get in the wot or get raped a while back. had kayne listened then he wouldn'
t have the problem today.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves did i say it's unauthorised then ? i did. did i say i hope they get sued ? i don'
t recall
the20year: rihana is from barbados? Didn'
t know that
Duffer1: i can'
t find anyone else, but that doesn'
t really mean much
nubbins`: ^ did i post that last night? can'
t recall
nubbins`: nah, i don'
t know that guy from moses
nubbins`: i cheated and googled. isn'
t that the guy who was compiling the "bitcoin most richest" list?
mircea_popescu: honestly the odds for the no side don'
t look so bad now
Neil: What's with all the recent sports bets? Trying to get focus there? They don'
t seem to be attracting much interest.
mircea_popescu: well... i would guess what they mean is that by now it doesn'
t matter anymore. it might as well be closed.
mircea_popescu: isn'
t this that scammy venue that pushed the original bfl bets back in march ?
mircea_popescu: this is why i don'
t really encourage the sort of hollow millitantism the "community" seems to think is the one important thing to do, and i doubt anyone's smart to encourage it.
Namworld: You know, I seem to see many co start accepting Bitcoin stating because of numerous demands from customers. But I can'
t help but feel those Bitcoin customers are over-represented simply because they are very vocal about it and push it to all businesses they know.
BingoBoingo: That doesn'
t seem like an inaccurate label
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I imagine some regions though can'
t be good. Take Ohio as an example. For most of the 20th century thier rivers were flamable.
nubbins`: you can'
t buy bagged milk here in nl
BingoBoingo: benkay: I don'
t have very positive feeling for the JVM, I think releasing it was a low point for Sun. I say this as someone who in their first job after dishwashing had a Sun Ultra 80 as their work computer because it was they one that was available.
benkay: and even though asciilifeform hates hates hates hates clojure, i think it's an acceptable lisp for mortals who haven'
t actually played with symbolics machines while we wait for his lazy quixotic ass to make us the modern lisp machine that we deserve
BingoBoingo: benkay: Nah, I don'
t really have roots anywhere I can'
t erase with sufficient ETOH
benkay: all the colored coins in the world aren'
t going to keep you in a house the local duke wants for himself.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: The fact the game wasn'
t decided until the last two minutes though supports my assertion that at the odds offered Auburn ML was a hell of a value.
pankkake: that's the nice thing about being a slave (or as other call it, employee); you don'
t have to care about it too much
benkay: don'
t really want a job though - want more to have projects to deliver for fixed bids.
benkay: 900 MPH GO DON'
T WORRY ABOUT SURFACE ROUGHNESS
benkay: they see the writing on the wall w/r/
t drug seizures funding their operations, i gather.
mircea_popescu: i would guess a large section of the us poor has never encountered this situation where an entity pointedly doesn'
t give a shit about them
benkay: more like if you think its too long you probably don'
t have it in you to actually read it ;)
pankkake: don'
t forget mp talks in the third person
benkay: ah just you wait - someone's going to send in the .3 butts or w/e for a cardano and scream scam that it doesn'
t mine
benkay: BingoBoingo: anchors aren'
t working today
benkay: all webwallet users are victims, they just don'
t know it yet.
BingoBoingo: That roughly seems to be it. I've traversed quite a bit of this handle of vodka I trekked through the polar vortex to acquire, but it sounds right. Depositors just weren'
t inputs.io victims yet.
BingoBoingo: benkay: They didn'
t have any dependency. They just wanted more deposit options and TF was willing to deposit a fidelity bond to cover deposits through inputs.io
BingoBoingo: Million dollar BTC doesn'
t happen because Bitcoin is a better gum buying tool than a quarter at the gumball machine. It happens through a lot of BTC being tied up in contracts.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Who said holding has to be cold. I'm thinking Fidelity bonds and such. One of the few people who dealt with Inputs.io and didn'
t get fucked was Dooglus who made TradeFortress keep a bond with him in exchange for him accepting deposits though TF's platform. Such things seem a natural growth from GPG contracts and other crypto goodness.
pankkake: at least the shares aren'
t losing value!
BingoBoingo: ArsKisS: Everything is just one big market. Within the one market though there are a lot of alleys where muggins happen. If you aren'
t careful you might even meet Rapin' Jameis
mircea_popescu: ArsKisS they know their history won'
t ever look good, so why publish it too much.
mircea_popescu: and isn'
t y/n more straightforward ? not that a lot of adding shit is impossible to do.
BingoBoingo: Well, consider a futures bet for X wins championsip of such and such league. Where the teams competing are fixed well in advanced of the seasons start. 30 baseball teams for example, you can bet on anyof them to win the world series. Maybe the pot isn'
t bigger, but having all of the options in one pool makes pricing risk more straight forward.
BingoBoingo: Bitcoin tennis fans aren'
t rich enough to balance your love for her tits though
BingoBoingo: Inaba probably laid out for yes, but obviously doesn'
t have the capital he had last year...
mircea_popescu: 5 minute differences or w/e may be the round-trip time for "x got injured" among the bookies won'
t show up in the bitbet weight anyway
mircea_popescu: mike_c they're all in the same timeline so they really don'
t care about the weight
mircea_popescu: they can'
t sanely hold on to this, so they all bet on the yes/no bitbet according to their book
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo no but the idea is, the ops themselves have more of a clue. obviously as it is now, every failed seo expert/14 yo running his own site this won'
t be the case
BingoBoingo: mike_c: I don'
t know if they will ever be too popular. The problem of tracking a whole season seems better suited to bucket shops and line betting operations. Marquee events and championships that can get traffic though should do better on the BitBet model though.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: I wouldn'
t take the spread though. On value bets liek this ML tends to be better in the long run
mircea_popescu: noobs also don'
t remember the entire "btc rating agency" bullshit coming out of his inflamed brain, and consequently don'
t remember reason #5498045986 why bitcoin didn'
t go to shit before they had a chance to hear of it.
BingoBoingo: Well... Yeah. As the years go on though the relative impressiveness of the story will grow simply because n00bs can'
t remember single dollar digit btc.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've been putting money on Auburn at as many books as I can that haven'
t been rather conclusively labeled scam yet. Cheaper exercise than the one you did with Patrick Harnett.
BingoBoingo: jurov: Because so many people are betting on Auburn. Auburn is given odds that make it a great value pick. Since most BTC line betting operations pull lines off of USA Today instead of letting odds play on their own and collecting their vig, if Auburn wins I imagine at least a few won'
t be able to pay winnings.
pankkake: though I shouldn'
t need porn if I have slaves. hmm
mircea_popescu: obv shareholders didn'
t give a shit about the 6 bitcents, or else they'd have said something.
benkay: i don'
t want to 'use' anything - i want to deploy some capital and have some less generated by a human for me.
pankkake: well some clients/webmails don'
t provide a good way to have multiple identities
mike_c: it's not that they can'
t handle, just raises the bar for doing so. you'll get fewer comments.
benkay: sheeeit, mike_c, if someone can'
t handle comments by email i don'
t want 'em commenting.
mike_c: stackoverflow tried to use it. i was surprised that didn'
t work.
benkay: didn'
t even bother to file it.
jurov: ThickAsThieves: it doesn'
t depend fully on me
Namworld: They refused Coinroll's IPO because previous investors selling their shares and funds not going to develop a business is too complicated and doesn'
t offer anything to investors. Nevermind that Coinroll is already running and would be issuing bigger dividends than any other fund on Havelock right away.
mike_c: they are only serving US "to start". of course, they can'
t start until they finish their website. yet they are projecting 21 btc profit next month.
mike_c: i don'
t see how they could be competitive from the start. they don'
t have any economies of scale. do they have some magic formula for cheap customer acquisition? i don'
t see it.
Namworld: They don'
t grasp the actual meaning of the term IPO
Namworld: Havelock rejected Coinroll's IPO because the structure of the IPO (5% raising funds, 5% investors monetizing their investment) was too complicated and they didn'
t see how investors would benefit if their funds go to previous owners (nevermind that they they're buying out their shares and right to profits/the business)
BingoBoingo: KRS1: Well, namecoin. If it didn'
t suck so much and miners wrote transactions with lots of data to blocks...
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Well most DRM is pki based anyway. I don'
t see what adding a blockchain to it might do other than maybe allow rights transfers. I don'
t think many people interested in DRM though are people interested in making rights transfers easier though.
Duffer1: i don'
t i'll ever see the day when i'd feel comfortable having my real name as a user nick
benkay`: it'd be in the "you don'
t have this key on file!" message. derp.
jurov: oh no sry, it doesn'
t extract the fingerpring
jurov: and i also pointed out it won'
t be easy at all to get $38m out of exchange
mjr_: yeah, i haven'
t updated much of anything
BingoBoingo: It doesn'
t seem like it for the most part. I wonder if the Super Bowl will touch the roughly 100 BTC combined it did last year on the lower weight bet.
mircea_popescu: the sports don'
t get as much interest as diff/price huh ?
mircea_popescu: you could throw in there the fourth case, of replacing incandescent lighting with mercury-based lights just in time to catch the narrow window where the superior led technology wasn'
t mature yet, so phillips can do two full upgrades for its customers and get paid twice within two decades, rather than just the once.
mircea_popescu: this did result in better emission controls for power plants, and did fully resolve the problem, but that doesn'
t make acid rain any less bullshit.
mircea_popescu: soon enough you won'
t be able to find out your own height.
