_popescu were you really? I feel like that would weather someone down fast
BitChrista: mircea
_popescu thank you for introducing me to this chat room. I completely agree, once Bitcoin is in politics it'll be untouchable.
BitChrista: mircea
_popescu, I've been doing some research. I have a solid list, mostly of those running for congress. People are starting to come to us though which is nice
BitChrista: mircea

_popescu: I concur
cads: mircea
_popescu: we'll have an epsilon for each target problem, and maybe the cost of solving al the target problems starting from A must be greater than or equal to solving B, C, D... seperately.
cads: mircea
_popescu: to formalize this completely we'll have to assume something like a polynomial time algorithm that converts the output of algorithm A into a solution for problem B.
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Well, most minds have their head splints set to promote that nowadays.
cads: mircea
_popescu: I feel the same here, for the opposite side
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Your lemma is sensical so long as it is restricted to hard POW's
cads: mircea
_popescu: I think we should be able to test the hypothesis directly against the primecoin if we try hard enough
cads: mircea
_popescu: I don't feel it mathematically yet but I feel why we'd like this to hold, economically
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Once they hit the crystal... It's just safest to assign them the pronoun that inspires the least sexual interest.
cads: mircea
_popescu: it's without question that anyone can look at the outputs of the two algorithms and verify that ~2^k energy was expended. Perhaps the problem happens when we require the second algorithm to also guarantee a useful output relative to the third party.
cads: mircea
_popescu> this could be understood on a macro level as "if there are outside constraints on your pow process, you'll need that many more iterations"
cads: mircea
_popescu: lets leave aside the author's obvious retardation and focus on prime coin and the idea of doing externally useful work as a side effect of the cryptocurrency.

joecool: mircea
_popescu: wall builders are usually good at that
joecool: mircea
_popescu: i would guess it doesn't really matter what, but there will be a lot of whatever what is
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: US only really advertised the MIGs as potention OPFOR... Prolly for morale reasons
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Well, there's the B-2... ANd that's about it.
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Crimea was sealed in the NATO Libya intervention when the French Raphaels outperformed the new US aircraft
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: SO you get the ATC fund's status.
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Sometimes, but the blowjobs are above par

_popescu ATC trading statement has been mailed.
BingoBoingo: mike
_c: It seems more likely that BTC denominated sports betting is shrinking in terms of BTC bet
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Legality wise I'm sure I could just say the book is part of the "Enhanced Reality game Bitcoin" like Micon does
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: The biggest obstacle I'd face putting together a book, especially a BTC one would be getting lines and bettors on those lines such that I could make vig intsead of propping up the otherside of every line.
ughlol: mircea
_popescu: mind if I pm?
benkay: mircea
_popescu: your footnotes make for inconsistent line heights
imsaguy: mircea
_popescu: they mostly come out at night, mostly
benkay: you know what you did mircea
_popescu. you shattered my faith in the ever-victorious empire of capitalism.
ughlol: thanks for enlightening me mircea
_popescu
ughlol: mircea
_popescu: constructive approach how?
ughlol: mircea
_popescu: is that for me?
ughlol: mircea
_popescu: you wrote one scary-ass post
Neil: mircea
_popescu: It's nice, but nothing special. Just a self-adjusting mechanism. I think the economics / incentives of bitcoin are the smartest part. And the fact (other than block size which was a short-term expedient solution to a short-term problem) that so much was left to just float (including the creation of altcoins for example). I think that took balls and real insight. Satoshi was a cool dude for whom I'd love to buy
TomServo: mircea
_popescu: Thanks for the nudge to look at the Berkshire letters. Interesting stuff there.
Neil: mircea
_popescu: So do you ever take a holiday? Or is your life so fulfilling doing your thang that you never want to chill out so that delivering statements in the first few days of each month is never an issue? Is that job subordinated to anyone else yet?
bitcoinpete: ;;later tell mircea
_popescu very sorry about the dubiousity. it's been corrected… the formatting on this one has a mind of its own on the blogs-b-a site but seems to be working well on the blog itself. my guess is the copy/pasting messed it up. thx for taking the time to read it and provide feedback!
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: I plan on covering most of the sports. Next is probably Basketball because it is the least betable.
Neil: mircea
_popescu: Meaning what exactly?
Neil: mircea
_popescu: Coz you spent a huge output for the big payout on bitbet; it wasn't an input to anything plausible on bitbet in its history. So bitbet's wallet it definitely being mixed with something else - yours or mpoe's or ...
pizzaman1337: mircea
_popescu: yeah, because in practice it can't all be turned into real btc at market rates
Neil: mircea
_popescu: You mix wallets right? Inbound on bitbet could be outbound on mpex and vice versa.
mircea_popescu: "Odi Kosmatos 2m @bitcoinpete @Mircea
_Popescu (previous knee-jerk tweet deleted) Hi Mircea, are you the guy who thinks everyone else is stupid? Appropriate!"
Neil: mircea
_popescu: Does the Romanian govt not bother you? Are they not interested tax-wise in your activities?
