mircea_popescu: why not have discretion to also determine the count of bitcoin in existence, while at it.
mircea_popescu: and yes, I don't intend to follow fiat practice in THIS particular respect : that it's always willing to add complexity for the sake of satisfying fee-fees.
mircea_popescu: they're not required by the model, and there's no indication they add justifiable complexity ; not to mention they're not even defined, or by all appearances definable.
mircea_popescu: solrodar i am not entertaining your concepts of "non-urgent", and so i won't be showing anything about them.
mircea_popescu: but ftr it's slowly dawning on me just how god damned ~HARD~ it is to speak in the forum. all sorts of separations, between descriptive and prescriptive, between time ; between causes and effects, between roles and hierarchies... jesus god how does anyone even keep it straight.
mircea_popescu: "if you didn't need to pay him as a supplier, fuck him". how's the receiver to justify this "downgrade" ?

mircea_popescu notes bitterly that the chinese ARE fucking prosecuting their own bfl, unlike the usg faggots.
mircea_popescu: and 2. IF you want to argue against something i said, do yourself the favour and BRING VERY GOOD ARGUMENTS. because your own personal word will count for nothing much, and you'll just make a clown out of yourself.
mircea_popescu: this flows from the definition of the term supplier (comes before the company on the flow) and customer (comes after).
mircea_popescu: two things, read them outloud to yourself. 1. if A is a class senior to B, then receiver MAY NOT proceed to pay B until he has disposed of A entirely. therefore suppliers MUST be in A and cusomters in B, BECAUSE customers can do nothing to injure the bankrupt concern,. whereas the suppliers can.

mircea_popescu: this neatly matches the ability of suppliers to cut the spaghetti NOW as opposed to the customers' ability to basically whine moar.
mircea_popescu: seniority is principally important so as to give the receiver the option, not the obligation, to pay things NOW, rather than promise to pay after he pays someone else.
mircea_popescu: solrodar the receiver has the option to set aside bills anyway, so that's not much of a practical consideration.

mircea_popescu: "i just disproved a general consideration by my misinterpretation of a particular" you say ?
mircea_popescu: solrodar bills are senior because in general for the same general reason. you don't pay electricity, bankrupt or not, you can't have the lights on. receiver still has to work.
mircea_popescu: clouds have a function beyond their perceptible form ; "sybils" means nothing other than the cartel.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it;s nothing short of saying "the clouds must be painted on the firmament because they are seen and the parsimonious explanation of all thigns seen is painting".
mircea_popescu: dilution matching contribution is mere growth, quite healthy.
mircea_popescu: it's not entirely unwarranted. mods do contribute value.
mircea_popescu: qntra model really taught us a lot. only thing is... came years after original bitbet.
mircea_popescu: shares just means dilution. it's not necessarily a bad idea, use qntra experience.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes a simple way to address the problem is put in a fixed per-bet fee, of say .2 or .3 or w/e, and make bet minimum 1 or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: jurov ftr, "specie" in english means gold bullion. it's unadvisable to use in the context you do.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: a) eye-readable contract ; b) machine-verifiable signature ; c) that can also be verified by hand ; d) in the same item.

mircea_popescu: i suppose it necessarily can be put in the header huh.
mircea_popescu: but it is also subtly different from the general band discussion.
mircea_popescu: notably, the derpy gnupg manual indicates "telephone" as a out-of-band mechanism to verify key fingerprints. is this so ? since when until when ? did it work back when phones were still analog ? does it work now ? why / why not ? etc.
mircea_popescu: the concept of identifiably separate bands is as much a presumption about the "adversary" (properly said, of the context) as anything else.
mircea_popescu: this argument is still open. i certainly see what you mean.
mircea_popescu: it's what children do when they want to play house but are affraid of getting caught.
