BingoBoingo: "A special DOS program (we only utilize the latest in computer programming technology at our pharmacy) is executed which prints a listing of barcodes representing 10%, 20%, 30%, etc. all the way to 100%. Then the tech or pharmacist scans a bottle of inventory, THEN shakes, quakes, and does a little magic dance to estimate how much is left in the bottle, be it 10%, 20%, etc., and then scans that barcode, hence the QUAKE-n-ZAP!

mike_c: not 100% resolvable, but blockchain stuffing comes close.
mircea_popescu: ok, but you understand the cost for 50% of the hash is like... 2 to 500k btc
kakobrekla: how else would they be 50%
mdev: how can btc guild control 50% if ghash.io already controls 51%?
assbot: For the love of Bitcoin, Stop mining at BTC Guild! - They'll control the network if they reach +50% : Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol what's that, 4% ?
pankkake: keep in mind 51% attack = 51% *attack*. bitcoin relies on the majority of miners being honest
BingoBoingo: mdev: Bitcoin is too valuable for ghash.io to do serious damage at 51% plus so long as miners are economically motivated...
mdev: apparently they've had over 20% for awhile and even at that level they could have done some damage with double spend had they wanted
mdev: since I was banned in #bitcoin, what's your guys thoughts on the ghash.io and the 51%?

mike_c: i don't worry about the coin dying, but +80%/-80% diff changes are annoying.
unbalanced: I figure that the -25% to -50% range is desirable, as long as it doesn't fall so far someone can't easily spike it up 4x again.

kakobrekla: USD when comparing it over time. The performance we've had is astounding, and just because it lags behind the performance of Bitcoin should not take away from that. We've still managed to outperform more than 99% of the other things you could have spent your BTC on. Silver for example was $28.50 on our IPO date and is $19.50 now, yet I don't see you trolling silver dealers on here.

TomServo: It should be noted that the FBI has a lot of bitcoins to sell. In addition to drug-tainted Silk Road coins, the FBI has a much bigger stash: an estimate from Casey Research puts the figure between 5% and 10% of all bitcoins in circulation.
mircea_popescu: if you own 1% of all bitcoin, you're guaranteed a 1% slice of any bet pool you ever wish to have.
mircea_popescu: mike_c provided you own the % of total world capital that you wish your % of the pool to be
mircea_popescu: you wish to have 1% of the pot, you can make sure you do no matter what happens
mircea_popescu: AND the beauty of parimutuel is that you can always adjust your exposure to a pot %
