mircea_popescu: it won't work if i have to kill you all, and i won't have to kil you all.
mircea_popescu: can i calculate the bitcoin address that'd correspond to any arbitrary private address i choose ?
DreadKnight: I talked about the vanilla game
DreadKnight: I agree, that's planned
mircea_popescu: well that's nice, i guess.
DreadKnight: I'm making something that's all about skill, not luck
DreadKnight: I'm not looking to make yet another poker or dice game, there are plenty of btc online casinos
DreadKnight: prototype was funded thanks to a few bitcoins I sold at a decent enough time so that I could afford paying a part time coder for a few months, but now I'm broke and I'm not a very good coder; so I could use some support to get things going
DreadKnight: r, one of those ever green games basically; it leaves nothing up to chance and randomness, yet no two games will be the same; it can be played 1vs1 or 2vs2 on pretty much any device with pretty much any input method; so want to make "the chess of the future", a way for people to battle for fun or digital currency, very accessible, playable even without account or paying anything; I'm a bit stuck on the coding part atm, the current
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, ok, I think I managed
dignork: pigeons, I looked at dogeparty, it's a fork of counterparty, minus double-spending protection provided by btc network
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i'm probably the only idiot in here, but in case there is one other: "3 indicates a "pay-to-script-hash" address that contains a hash (one way fingerprint) of a script that can be used for multiple things including address obfuscation and multi-signature requirements." << tl;dr : 3addresses are an unnecessary and crufty thing some idiots pretend they've added to bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: wait, this wouldn't be the same guy i was lulzing at last month ?
mircea_popescu: mkay i guess that's good enough
mircea_popescu: pankkake: natalie portman is a jew? I always knew something was off with her << only on the mother's side.
cyranodeB: sorry if i annoy anyone with a repeated question.. but does anybody have an idea why bitcoin is crashing???
BingoBoingo: That I guess is a good question.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> wait... bb had a GIRLFRIEND ? << I don't think I've had any that would be in Lithuania atm
BingoBoingo: cyranodeB: Well, I just got back from cutting some lawns so smelling pretty ripe
cyranodeB: thanks BingoBoingo.... how is showering? i can smell you from here! (smile)
pankkake: I've had a fiat transactions cancelled for less - but that payment processor was trash for almost everything so
pigeons: no i just dont want to look at it
ThickAsThieves: <+pankkake> https://i.imgur.com/3Nk9eKC.png
mircea_popescu: oops i mean pigeons
ThickAsThieves: i wonder if checking accounts get cancelled like that too
ThickAsThieves: i prefer dry
ThickAsThieves: i dont recall a hangover
fluffypony: http://i.imgur.com/aAZjQ4v.jpg
ThickAsThieves: i think i told you but the bottle from Ro made it safely home and into my belly at some point
BingoBoingo: I've never had a problem with champagne, now "champagne" as in the generic bubbly stuff from places that shouldn't be attempting such a thing...
mircea_popescu: anyway, we put away i dont recall, 2, 3 bottles ?
ThickAsThieves: i wont even drink a whole glass usually
mircea_popescu: i got drunk on champagne, there's no hangover for that.
pankkake: https://i.imgur.com/3Nk9eKC.png
trixisowned: and says "I DONT EVEN HAVE ANY PART IN ELIGIUS ANYMORE"
DreadKnight: I might have got the passphrase wrong, tried a few times and didn't get a field anymore to write in
jurov: DreadKnight: if you're on linux or mac, just do the curl script i pasted
jurov: yea, i only find and run from history: curl http://bitcoin-otc.com/otps/ID | gpg -q --output - --decrypt
pankkake: I don't know why I never noticed the URL did not change… could have saved me a step
DreadKnight: well, I'm not sure where to press any key :P
DreadKnight: was thinking I'm not running those commands
DreadKnight: oh, I ignored gribble a while ago, was poking me daily on private
DreadKnight: I got the string, any preferred pastebin?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I'm a bit noobish; running gpg in a terminal... and it's like gpg: Go ahead and type your message ... then I paste F6A23D326FDF1035 in? xD
DreadKnight: seems I have that key, yey, mircea_popescu
DreadKnight: I'm pretty sure I have gpg key
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, website doesn't provide any info about what this is exactly; I did one or more transactions on bitcoin-otc thingy a while ago if that helps
mircea_popescu: oh. that i never saw.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve i did say BITCOIN ea didn't i.
nagzter: I read the topics ;)
nagzter: I'm over on the site now ;)
nagzter: HeySteve: mentioned this channel over in #ancientbeast and I wanted to check it out ;)
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, open source game I'm doing, will eventually allow people to battle for bitcoin, a mix of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and trading card games, lots of units, each with unique abilities
mircea_popescu: i still play em ffs.
HeySteve: I will ask him to join
mircea_popescu: well there have been like 500 remakes, i recall playing a pretty good one back in 2007ish.
HeySteve: I learnt today of some guy in Romania making a Heroes of Might & Magic style browser game
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is deliberate. if people wanted interactive they wouldn't do online porn, they'd get a gf.
HeySteve: heh I tried that sexgangsters thing, didn't seem very interactive tho
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2014#758471 << there. some web game i played for five minutes ☝︎
rithm: looks like a reocurring 34.99 if I've ever seen anything like that
HeySteve: if I forget to disconnect before I go to sleep it can get spammy
rithm: i was like a decade-long psyBNC user
rithm: screw you guys, I'm out
rithm: if my bouncer didn't work i'd quit bitcoin
mircea_popescu: as a rule of thumb, i would say it's a great idea that if one's using a bouncer, that one sets the bouncer up so if it fails three times in five minutes it stops trying and shoots the owner an email or something. join/part spam is definitely annoying in all channels, even if most won't do anything about it.
mircea_popescu: Rassah: p.s. I'm not saying their etherium deal is a good one. I don't think investing in ether can in any way give a better return than investing in bitcoin... I don't think vitalik is much of a finance guy, either, so I'm not sure if this "ipo" ca be blamed on him << what the fuck sense does this make ? some guy that's not a finance guy involving himself in finance things is stupid by any conceivable definition of th
mircea_popescu: Rassah: My tribe consists of Tsiolkovsky and Tozoni, so I've been surrounded by extremely intimidating levels of inteligence... < if that means konstantin, wasn't the guy dead before the war ?
jurov: i guess someone preannounced they will sell for btc
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell midnightmagic i dun see a problem in principle either, but i was trying to examine this "salt is hard to mine" theory. anyway.
mutate_: I'm fairly keen on being in the queue for one of the first alien blowjobs, before the novelty wears off and they start marrying humans and making them unhappy. Unfortunately I can't by any magic Ether cards because maths and computers got you fairly badly bullied at school and so I simply use a computer to have my bank details stolen from and know nothing whatsoever about Linux. What can I do?
benkay: <BingoBoingo> HANDSofSTEEL: If you really want to go long on ethereum, mircea_popescu wants to go short. I'd advise reading up on ethereum criticism before doing anything rash though. // it's magically also a bet that nothing'll be around in 9/12 mos.
benkay: decimation: http-kit and enlive are what i use

mircea_popescu: how do i talk in the 3rd person ?
mod6: oh, ok. in that case, I'll probably just leave it as is. unless its like, weeks or something.
mod6: is the domain mpex.co finished? I've updated the key in my script, just wondering if I should s/mpex.co/mpex.bz|mpex.ws/
mircea_popescu: i dun get it.
mike_c: i lol'd at this yesterday. not that they are over-reacting: http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1876753.1406095852!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_970/front2-0723.jpg?enlarged
mircea_popescu: "omg ew this is totally different than all the things going into other things i've seen today!" << lol
mircea_popescu: i don't get this whole "security detail" bullshit for politicians and bureaucrats.
hanbot: dub looks for the unsee button / pigeons: yeah like i shouldnt already know better than to click one of mircea_popescu's links << "omg ew this is totally different than all the things going into other things i've seen today!"
mircea_popescu: pankkake i kinda like todd. or used to anyway
fluffypony: "It's a shame because you make great points, but you express them in a manner that is all over the place bordering on incoherent. Not to mention, you unintentionally come off as a bully calling people fascists, etc, and criticizing people in such vitriolic ways just because their views don't match your own perfectly. To be honest, I agree with you, but I can't imagine you're doing anything but preaching to your own choir by expressing your
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: it reported as up when I visited it, hate the game not the player
fats_cd03: alienware sells painted pigs if i've ever seen one
fats_cd03: anyone know where i can find a pdf of the 67-77 BRK letters?
asciilifeform: punkman: that's more or less the only fictional world i'd not mind moving to.
fats_cd03: cool, i have the first mention
Pierre_Rochard: nubbins`: i suppose at the very least, bankruptcy would absolve you of your car loan and mortgage // is the assumption here that bitcoin price going to zero would make the borrower go bankrupt? Because that would be poor balance sheet management too.
ThickAsThieves: "Just a USMS auction price discovery update: I contacted the USDOJ Office of General Counsel regarding my FOIA request submitted back on the 6th of July... and they stated I should see information in early August. They also stated they had a flood of requests for information on that auction." ☟︎
bitcoinpete: i'm out. ciao!
nubbins`: i suppose at the very least, bankruptcy would absolve you of your car loan and mortgage
kakobrekla: <Pierre_Rochard> bitcoinpete: or borrow the money to buy the car and use the cash to buy btc << I like this form of indirect leverage. Who else would finance bitcoins < 5% APR (0% if you get a good deal)? < as i was saying, if you are in position where you need to borrow to gamble/invest in btc, you should not do it.
