_popescu, I'll try to reach you tomorrow. What is the best time to talk in here?
benkay: hey mircea
_popescu i think i'm misreading your mpex tech stuff article - web servers have a copy of the db to fulfill stat requests?

_popescu, are you working on an RNG project? Do you have a link?
robwhiz22: BingoBoingo, I didn't critique it. I don't know anything about any RNG project. I was just answering mircea
_popescu's question, in which he quoted "and conversely objects which pass randomness tests must have high algorithmic complexity" and hten said "not familiar with the 'complex objects' in question.".

robwhiz22: mircea
_popescu, I've just clicked 'forward all' and reforwarded you my proposal and follow-up email. Please check the mail and I would very much appreciate a response. I feel I've given adequate time for your consideration.
robwhiz22: mircea
_popescu, the whole proposal - I can email again if you have trouble fining the previous emails. There 2 I think, of which you answered the second one inviting me here, and one follow-up one.
robwhiz22: mircea
_popescu, did you 1) find my proposal among your emails now? 2) do you have an answer? I submitted it with the request that you review and answer within three business days, which I thought was reasonable.
robwhiz22: mircea
_popescu, I am not available for chatting much longer tonight.
fluffypony: mircea
_popescu: I'm talking specifically about South Africa - our murder rate is mentioned in the article, ~30 per 100k vs Honduras at ~90 per 100k
fluffypony: mircea
_popescu: yeah, I was quite surprised, the ex-pats have beaten the "murder rate in South Africa is the highest in the world" speech into everyone's heads we're starting to believe it ourselves

_popescu: or Robert Mugabe's surprising resilience despite him probably being dead
dignork: mircea
_popescu, sure, but so far bitcoin-otc based on WOT is the closest to OTC that I've seen so far
dignork: mircea
_popescu, you said before that bitcoin-otc is irrelevant
fluffypony: mircea
_popescu: we have a community here of < 500 people actively interested in Bitcoin, not just peripherally

_lines, same idea is implemented in some unixes by aliasing 'rm' to 'rm -i', just a default
dexX7: 1. metacoins and the utxo set:
http://i.imgur.com/c9mpd8h.png, 2. what is way more "avoidable" than multisigs is the creation of multiple unspent outputs "to have free outputs ready" (@ xcp) x
_x
danielpbarron: benkay: because OP
_RETURN is too small to store counterparty data, they use multi-sig addresses instead, and that uses up memory
pankkake: I wonder if I can easily make my public nodes stop relaying OP
_RETURN :)
danielpbarron: OP
_RETURN is a place to store extra data in a transaction
benkay: what's the controversy over op
_return?
danielpbarron: at the risk of starting the whole argument over again, the context is counterparty / mastercoin and the OP
_RETURN controversy
danielpbarron: Mats
_cd03: I don't mind it costing a lot, but it's insulting to say that using aliminum costs 2 BTC more than using plastic

fluffypony: mircea
_popescu: wrt not taking it seriously - not sure about other countries, but we have a new (2009) act here that says that a director will be liable for losses suffered by the company as a result of the director having taken or failed to act against certain unauthorised or unlawful actions and situations
mircea_popescu: mike

_cd03: three-page application form. we didn't have to fill out the whole thing because we pay up-front with credit cards, but if you want to do net 30 etc, you have to provide business references and a ton of extra info
benkay: ;;later tell mike
_c i guess the appropriate local metaphor would be "for those who prayed, dove through, and magically weren't sliced to bits by the chumpatron"
benkay: ;;later tell mike
_c sometimes i think supply is constrained on the fiat -> btc pipe. if cash and reputation and connections are all you have, that's not a terribly wide pipe. perhaps there was something to gox' occasional ability to turn fiat wires into btc
benkay: mike
_c: have you ever done the physics thing where you draw a circle around a system and label ins and outs?
benkay: sorry that was rude of me, mike
_c
