Neil: link? I can'
t find the thread
Neil: Chaaang-Noi: The "contract" is so restrictive I wonder what would happen if SDICE gets a couple of big losses and the reserve is wiped out. It's not clear where the money's gonna come from, I don'
t the contract permits loans, and the contract specifies 100% of profits are distributed, so there's no way to build the reserve up.
ThickAsThieves: I like how Erik says "Alright. This isn'
t worth the drama."
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t look like he thought things all the way through, no.
jurov: btw ThickAsThieves, i can'
t help realizing how well timed was my TAT.VIRTUALDICE proposal :D
jurov: it wasn'
t humorous per se, but so apt that i chuckled
deadweasel: btcoracle.com <-- I discoverd a bug, DarkEmi says to stop betting until they figure it out. Don'
t know if they paused the site though.
Chaaang-Noi: <deadweasel> your casascius lambo doesn'
t count dont have a lambo yet
mircea_popescu: i lost a server earlier today, wasn'
t running mpex anything but wasd doing relaying
lippopper: The most I heard is "Well we're not saying that any laws were broken but it's surprising that they didn'
t have to in order to do this"
FabianB_: no, and your example doesn'
t show a problem
Neil: Sorry goat, didn'
t mean to give away your bra secret.
jurov: as opposed to us, where the gold just went *poof* and can'
t be replaced by paper easily
davout: for quite a few reasons that i won'
t go into right now :-)
Namworld: They can'
t just remine the whole chain everytime. Albeit the part since their last deposit, maybe.
gribble: Error: I couldn'
t find a message matching that criteria in my history of 1000 messages.
Neil: Chaaang-Noi: Thx for the free XRP; they arrived! Sold all my XRP now apart from the 125 you can'
t sell. Looks to be drifting down ATM.
mircea_popescu: which makes little sense unless a. they don'
t know how to set zones or b. they actually run a server off the mailserver box
mircea_popescu: Gizmo true. on the other hand most internet kids don'
t have enough edumancation to be able to carry a conversation outside of "that's cool" / "he's mean". so... could go either way.
sgnb: but I never used it because there was no recovery at the time (I don'
t know now)
furuknap: Ah, first I heard of it. I'm using Google Authenticator so I wouldn'
t need one in any case.
Neil: Although I think Khmer women had even more natural beauty. But was only in Cambodia for 3 days; not enough time to get a real idea. And unfortunately on a tour (from Vietnam) so couldn'
t interact.
mircea_popescu: or for that matter i can'
t believe walletbit is still around trying to pretend they're in business.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t believe avalon still uses walletbit after that immense fiasco last time.
mircea_popescu: well they're all nobodies. if they weren'
t they wouldn'
t be involved with the trade press. such as it is, bless its soul.
mircea_popescu: he doesn'
t like me because i say nigger. i don'
t like him because he's so unloud and unobnoxious.
[\]: don'
t make me whip out my newest nick
[\]: they don'
t even mean a crime occurred
[\]: they say that because police reports don'
t mean shit
jcpham: don'
t question the sound logic
mircea_popescu: apparently Neil isn'
t in on the josh joke. hey neil, this is america. everyone born in the same decade is named the same way. currently the internet is in the decade of josh.
[\]: i'm glad you've got that, because you surely don'
t have any coins
optimator: mircea_popescu: isn'
t the forum fauna driving friedcat's profits?
mircea_popescu: i can'
t quite pin it for certain it's so small, but with reasonable confidence we're talking < 100 btc lifetime.
Neil: Apparently, if you believe the dude, and he didn'
t just send everything to a personal address
Bunnyh: Neil: sold, i don'
t have the balls to hold altcoins
Neil: Can'
t find a way to generate a 2nd one.
Neil: Sorry didn'
t know it'd changed.
Neil: $600 for a forum account isn'
t bad.
Neil: I charged him another 0.1 BTC to tell him why his coin won'
t confirm... he doesn'
t know the 100 confirm rule. Sheesh. And he's trying to do his own!
dub: can'
t get a straight answer on this rabies thing
mircea_popescu: the ecdsa needs to have a good seed or else it doesn'
t work
mircea_popescu: tbh i think it's convincing proof as it is. most agencies wouldn'
t sneer at a few mn extra budget.
Neil: If BTC ever gets to $1k or $5k, and those remain unstolen, I think it's pretty convincing proof that ECDSA hasn'
t been cracked by any intelligence agency.
Neil: Point is, only Satoshi has the key, and the whole network won'
t accept it as it's not in the tx-hash network wide.
Neil: Does he think I'm Satoshi or sthg? Or that the whole network has upgraded? I don'
t understand some people.
dub: lol didn'
t see that coming
ThickAsThieves: i don'
t uderstand how moderators aren'
t moderating this at all
furuknap: Unlike a lot of people, I don'
t have a problem with PMBs. Sure, in difficulty rises it loses value, but so does owning mining equipment and you don'
t see people run arond screming "MINING IS A SCAM!" for that reason.
furuknap: I'm thinking that the asset issuers won'
t be very happy since it turns their bonds into a mere numbers game. Also the exchanges may not be that keen because it will put load on their servers directly (for transparency).
deadweasel: sorry mate, shit happens and some people never forget. don'
t matter, you learned from it and things are going well, right?
deadweasel: second of all, don'
t worry too much about what other people think, if you are operating honestly it will be vindicated.
usagi: Well the supernode idea was good but in the end I don'
t believe bitcoin mining for the sake of doing so will ever be profitable
mircea_popescu: Neil when i say my prayers once or twice a millenia i always include thanks for not having to ever read code if i don'
t want to.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: because she didn'
t do her homework on the game industry, and her PR makes me think of EA...PR
jurov: it's me there asking why can'
t we all start using PGP to protect from snooping
Neil: I never thought the bitbet about 25m by end-of-June would happen, but now it's starting to look like it will. I suspect there is hashing power / ASIC development that isn'
t publicized.
Neil: Was curious about the -O and -E meanings. I guess if you're recycling they don'
t have any.
Neil: Interesting; hadn'
t heard of coinbr.
jurov: and the recycling - means I don'
t have to pay 5btc every time. just pay out, destroy all shares and update the description
Neil: I don'
t understand.
Neil: And they don'
t fix it.
Neil: I've started doing my own thing re difficulty. I don'
t trust anything you get online; they all lag. And bot's don'
t know what humans know.
parseval: I haven'
t done anything to that besides modify the links with some icons
parseval: I'm toying around with bootstrap and it works really nice, but the only thing is that it can produce a lot of similar looking sites if you don'
t customize it properly
Diablo-D3: I seriously don'
t know why you'd use bootstrap though
parseval: eg, re-run the dividend import every 4 hours, etc... I don'
t want to do it in cron, I want it nn the app itself
louong: yes, but people aren'
t rational
furuknap: You don'
t need to sell when the price drops. If you needed to sell, you'd sell before it dropped. Now entry is lower so prices should go up. In a rational market.
furuknap: Lag is also increasing. It's much better than in 'the old days', but it's up to around 4 seconds. If their new benchmarks are correct, that's 50% capacity of their network, which isn'
t good.
Neil: I don'
t reckon much to gribble's difficulty forecasts.
jurov: cause us won'
t seize .eu domain?
jurov: but don'
t know anything about how it was related to lr/mtgox, never seen that before
FabianB: weird the ssl cert is not valid or can'
t be verified by my browser, but looks legit so far
