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'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
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: 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: 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:
i wonder if checking accounts get cancelled like that too
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:
i got drunk on champagne, there's no hangover for that.
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
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: 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: 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
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: 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
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.
adrrr_: How do you do? lol
I don't know
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: "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!"
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?
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."

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.
