BingoBoingo: loller "Hi Mike. ... If I was a handler for an organization that wanted to insert an asset into the bitcoin community, someone like you would be the ideal candidate. Someone that young people, new to the community, naturally respect and will listen to. Strange how you've spent so much time cultivating your standing with people like that, while your
reputation plummeted among the people that understood the network (and had far more

Reputation Systems" ; Pie
brg444: pray tell, how would anyone verify the status of a certain someone in the WoT, if
reputation there exist
pete_dushenski: given that ebay has its own
reputation system, you can, over time, get to 'know a guy'
mircea_popescu: it's a very low moat business. no idea how lucrative, but establishing a "stellar"
reputation and pushing everyone else takes months, on account of how dumbassly undependable they all are.
trinque: "The mafia has a bad
reputation, but much of that's undeserved," says Gambino, who moved to Brooklyn in 1988. "As with everything in life, there are good, bad and ugly parts – the rise of global terrorism gives the mafia a chance to show its good side."
pete_dushenski: "They may have a
reputation for being bird-brained, but pigeons have found to be as adept as humans when it comes to spotting cancerous tissue in mammograms."
punkman: "Microsoft Sheds
Reputation as an Easy Mark for Hackers"
v_diddy: "oh your wordpress is very very insecure. it has shared php hosting. you need to spend $maxint to migrate to custom blablabla with frufrufru to protect your

reputation worth
BingoBoingo: He's the one author who sorta escaped CCN with their
reputation sorta moo-ocratically intact after the GAW implosion.
pete_dushenski: and toyotas have a hard-earned
reputation for lasting longer than regimes.
BingoBoingo remembers this time back in undergrad at McKendree where in his freshman year this M named chick got busted for peddling weed to this Jim Chronister motherfucker (actual name because informants suck). Turn out Jim Chronister made a deal with the local 5-0. People assumed on campus I smoked weed so he tried to buy from me. Given his
reputation I sold Jim the finest handrolled cigarettes filled with great Turkish rolling tobac

phf: funkenstein_: when gentoo came out it had a
reputation of being a "ricer" os, like how people put spoilers on cheap cars to make them "racing cars". all you need to know is how to tweak a few flags, and then spend a night watching a compilation log. of course these days ~even that~ is an arcane skill
mircea_popescu: myeah. the problem being that most people have more sense than to lend their
reputation to propping up the space's chief scam club.
ascii_field: 'In this specific case, however, in order to prevent article subjects from continued shakedowns by bad actors who are causing significant harm to the
reputation of this project, the articles are all being deleted. It is important to break the cycle of payment demands, and to make it clear that the Wikipedia community, and not a small group of paid editor accounts, controls the content of this project. This mass deletion
pete_dushenski: it's not clear to me that the fedcops are enjoying such a sterling
reputation these days

reputation for cousinfucking.

reputation as a hack and bootlick
mircea_popescu: "Lenin, indeed, is one of those politicians who win an undeserved
reputation by dying prematurely."
mircea_popescu: why would you wish to risk your
reputation (which, whatever you may think of it, is significant enough that you can come here and have my ear whenever you want to) on this thing ? for all you know you're reliving the neobee nightmare. you remember that ?
mircea_popescu: obama has a
reputation for bringing nobel peace, and paracelsus had a
reputation for curing spiritual warts.
mircea_popescu: and yes, sure there were folks who made a
reputation. then as now.
phf: asciilifeform: fwiw i've not tried pcengines yet, but i might get it for an additional openbsd machine on your recommendation. compared to soekris though a lot of boards that i tried have dodgy reliability. i.e. random crashes. like BingoBoingo said though, this might just be a
reputation impression
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: soekris is popular among BSD folk because

reputation, and only survives in its abjection
davout: "We are now going to use our name,
reputation and global index provider stature to provide bitcoin values that the rest of the market can look to," says Tom Farley, who serves as president of NYSE, the venerable financial institution that has come to symbolize Wall Street and capitalism more broadly.
ascii_field: elbrus for many decades (yes) had
reputation not entirely unlike 'butterfly labs' or what was it.
livegnik: So there's the ID part and the
reputation part.
trinque: mod6: right, and everyone on both ends of the transaction will ultimately try to blame their
reputation system or whatever didn't work
mircea_popescu: ascii_field similarly, the "
reputation system" works perfectly for anyone not using it.
trinque:
reputation system should be distinct from any particular application

☟︎ mircea_popescu: williamdunne "inheritence" that takes an a, and moreover, the entire "transfer
reputation" thing is muddied at best.
williamdunne: I think I covered the WoT a bit (well, GPG contracts) in 'Your
reputation is a commodity'
williamdunne: Your
reputation in the WoT here is essentially your entire value
williamdunne: As you interact with people and do trades/jobs your
reputation will increase
williamdunne: But they don't just deprive you of your livelihood, they also strip you of your
reputation and in many cases remove your ability to defend it.
williamdunne: trinque: The idea is that people can do
reputation exit-scams because they can just move on to new idents
felipelalli: ok, I'll try: I'd like to use OTC as a global "blacklist". But it is bad for that because a scammer won't create an account on OTC, or if his
reputation is bad, he'll erase it. So we could create a "standard" like for example: br-8d255152 where "br" is the country code ISO and 8d255152 is the first 8 chars of SHA256 of user country document (in Brazil we call CPF and in Australia ID)
mircea_popescu: (much funnier in romanian, where sfrr is an onomatopeia for sizzle, as in a steak's sizzle, and thus implicitly a pars pro toto reference to "servants, friends, riches,
reputation", ie the steak's sizzle.)
mircea_popescu: "So what is power? According to our friend Thomas Hobbes: servants, friends, riches,
reputation, success, affability, nobility, eloquence, and being handsome." sheeit i had forgotten that definition.
lobbes: so the 'attacker' is disincentivized due to this rising cost, and the fact that 'statistically' he is being outed by not finding his shares at the expected rate (thus,
reputation suffers)
lobbes: re: withholding blocks. So basically, mircea_popescu, you are saying that anything gained from withholding said blocks would be outweighed by the potential destruction of one's
reputation (which is expensive to build)?
pete_dushenski: re: cadbury, i'll grant that 'throwing under the bus' implies that the customer's
reputation is being damaged
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 01:39:28; Cogburn: gamification of
reputation is for people who can't give a good handshake or a warm, geniune smile when they meet someone.

ben_vulpes: bryce will also tell you that
reputation doesn't matter either.
mats: and re: BSafe, i'm not convinced RSA could be sold on destroying their
reputation for packing peanuts.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: when I first joined this channel at the collapse of GLBSE you said, "Scammers just help the legitimate businesses'
reputation that much more." My friend this past year went on to say, "In the new world, the most trusted person need not to be liked, because well he's trustworthy. He/She could be a complete asshole if as long as they do their job."
felipelalli: I'm sure I could set 2% rate or less and my list would be fund, because my
reputation in Brazilian bitcoin community is very good. But now I have no choice rather than get 3.5% calculated like magic by them. That's why I was disgusted. I would write an article about that, but after talking with you guys in this channel I was unmotivated.
thestringpuller: felipelalli: the scam is that
reputation is built nominally on btcjam vs. WoT
felipelalli: and I didn't find anything very objective, but I guess you're trying to find clues that points something is weird. But after using the system, you can understand for example how joke is they
reputation system.
