mircea_popescu: or what, were you going to use an INDEPENDENT website ?
asciilifeform: ~having~ this device around, is a quite expensive proposition.
mircea_popescu: you know, by the everfriendly usg, for instance.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: you're talking about a 'bbet folds' button
Framedragger: implementing a procedure to refund all bets if no signature by $key into $system, say. not that it's not easy to fuck this up royally.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform $2. the remainder 198 are needed for other things.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: really, do you think that 200bux is enough to 1) hire 2) retain a substitute operator ?!
mircea_popescu: i think the concept carries irrespective.
Framedragger: but i see the point, low profit.
mircea_popescu: i;ve not been following, guessing based on the alf provided number above.
Framedragger: 200 bux is not absolutely nothing, first off; and second off, 17 btc? was that the profit in the last P&L? honestly don't remember
mircea_popescu: if you think "switch" as described may cost as much as 1% of the total cost structure, voila, he has a $2 arrangement in place.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger so if it was 1% of 17 btc that's 200 bux or so ?
mircea_popescu: this "i'm not paying for the drinks and not having better ones is irresponsible" thing only goes so far.
mircea_popescu: so then.
Framedragger: out of the fee which is 0?
mircea_popescu: (pro tip : the cost comes out of the fee.)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger what % of an operation do you deem should be allocated to pay for that arrangement ?
asciilifeform: that's one handy way to 'accidentally' scam.
asciilifeform: one possibility is that znorta gambled the coins -- and lost.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 23:17 mircea_popescu: nobody asked you anything of how bitbet's capital is to be used by bitbet.
asciilifeform: and re bbet, hey mircea_popescu , recall http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1520195 thread ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: (~0, afaik, results on the field)
asciilifeform: lobbes: gotta wonder why this is 'news'. similar ordnance was used by brits in ww2, many times
davout: at least if you plan on doing that, at least keep the site up and maximize profit by collecting more
mircea_popescu: twice the safety.
asciilifeform: seems like they use... both
mircea_popescu: no, oracle, totally different.
asciilifeform: 'A SWIFT Service Bureau, is the kind-of the equivalent of the Cloud for Banks when it comes to their SWIFT transactions and messages, the banks transactions are hosted and managed by the SWIFT Service Bureau via an Oracle Database and the SWIFT Softwares. This is why we see that many of those Service Bureau also offer KYC, Compliance, Anti-Laundering services since they have access to all those transactions as their are the host for
mircea_popescu: i guess tis possible.
asciilifeform: and not '10 btc total', the new alphago one just by itself is worth ~17 btc
ben_vulpes: "modern banking is wholly owned subsidiary of usg" "what? no it's not" "yes it is: https://medium.com/@msuiche/the-nsa-compromised-swift-network-50ec3000b195" "...oh but that's different somehow"
mircea_popescu: could as well have cancelled the bets then. takes what, coupla hours.
mircea_popescu: seems somewhat unlikely a dude that paid 100 btc for it last year would run off with 10.
mircea_popescu: so like 27 bets worth a few pennies each, maaaybe 5-10 btc total ?
mircea_popescu: how much was the pot, did anyone figure it out ?
a111: Logged on 2016-05-01 17:36 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda too lazy to deedbot a list of the various spots in logs where the fact that bitbet keeps no logs was discussed. seems about 99 and 3/4% that the whole point there was to create an entry point for later parallel construction, "o look what bitbet logs show".
trinque: can't tell him from adam, or usg.gamblingprohee
asciilifeform: somebody (iirc mircea_popescu, even) advanced a hypothesis, last year, that znort is a purchased key
asciilifeform: nothing of any interest whatsoever, is, afaik, publicly known about this character.
trinque: just making a general comment about the guy not having much of a wot presence
a111: Logged on 2017-04-14 14:57 mod6: with both of my RNG-TWs connected, it was collecting at about 7kB/s ... for that quick 10s test or so to ensure that it was a "full speed"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-14#1643455 << 7K/s is indeed the rated minimal. ☝︎
Framedragger: doublespending double fees, this is bullish for ethereum
a111: Logged on 2017-04-14 03:07 mircea_popescu: did you ever nail that issue trinque ?
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-14#1643440 << yep, turns out I pebkac'd, series of misunderstandings of how sendmany worked. got a tx out with double fee (0.0002), which still wasn't enough, so I've now double-spent that tx with a 0.0005 fee. ☝︎
mod6: with both of my RNG-TWs connected, it was collecting at about 7kB/s ... for that quick 10s test or so to ensure that it was a "full speed" ☟︎
mod6: fg advanced test update: i've collected about 500Mb so far. ~half way there.
mod6: mircea_popescu: looks like the sisters are in az
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform set a squirrel trap on the roof but at night experienced squirrel sappers defused it and threw to the ground...
mircea_popescu: in other wins for "social justice" and just being a retard generally, pretty much every online game defaults to making your avatar brown-skinned with the next option being some sort of african black. because TOTALLY not a vast majority of white boys play these things, and there's ABSOLUTELY nothing ridiculous about a bunch of teenaged male drones going around with the equivalent of little gril pillows of themselves.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at the "sisters in focus with dicks in the background" farms, http://68.media.tumblr.com/a726cda44255b148a0a9b900f7babcd0/tumblr_ogse8xthTz1ucoif3o1_1280.jpg

BingoBoingo: Condolences mod6, consider submittting obituary to paper of record?
asciilifeform: '...complainant's father is hitting her... ...he has access to long guns, a shotgun, but it was not used in this incident...' << lol!

mircea_popescu: aanyway, let's just say this bla bla has been going on for as long as there's been an internenet. nubbins abound, and they have shit to say about things, obviously.
mircea_popescu: you think ?
mircea_popescu: CompanionCube what is this relevant to ?
a111: Logged on 2012-08-15 19:45 mircea_popescu: smickles http://trilema.com/2012/falimentul-polimedia-srl/ there, 2011 results. the 2010 and 2009 are also published on my blog
CompanionCube: you'd think they'd update the whois *eventually*
CompanionCube: lol: 'They used fake details for the domain registry. The "company" behind the domain is Polimedia which is currently in "Forfeited Existence" in Texas. The registry info has been the same even before they switched owners a year ago.'
asciilifeform: 'Mircea Popescu stole a large amount of BTC from BitBet.us prior to this...' << lol ☟︎
asciilifeform: '...25 y.o. female... took entire bottle'
mircea_popescu: they're not really the attacking type.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform a good half of police work in all times, interfacing with bored / insane middle aged women. << did alf just flip on his scanner?
mod6: the wasps sound nasty tho ya.
mircea_popescu: is this in the "we're about to break and enter and trying to pretend like no warrant is needed because probable cause" ?

mircea_popescu: the variety of wasps they have here is staggering. i got TWO kinds nesting, one's a perfectly harmless paper wasp, they eat the polen off a vine growing ion the fence. the other's a mud hut building guy, i think he eats spiders. then a third really fearsome type showed up evidently praying on the first type... then later a fourth super tiny kind was discovered when one fell in my drink....
mircea_popescu: i haven't yet seen one. or i think i might've seen one, that may also have been a misidentified wasp
mod6: It snowed on very early Tuesday morning and killed the SOBs.
mod6: I had my revenge though.
mod6: i just killed the first ones of the year, last weekend. which is pretty insane for Minnesota to have mosquitos /already/.
mod6: im in the wrong locale.
asciilifeform: police radio : '...no one was in danger. and the caller was anonymous.'

asciilifeform immediately thought 'vectored shit?!'
asciilifeform pictures nsa goons with NJDs combing the woods
asciilifeform: 'Once the ladder ended, it was easy to climb from branch to branch up to where the material was located. A bird had built a nest on top of the sealed container. Happily, the nest was empty: breeding season had passed. We opened the container. The item was inside. We remained in the tree for a while....'
asciilifeform: in classical su rug like this is 1) on floor 2) on wall (usually next to bed) ☟︎
ben_vulpes: palpable difference between that which came from grandpa's estate and the fresh purchases.
