Daniel_Krawisz: Me neither. I would rather see the block size go up. If that creates a crisis of not enough full notes, then people are going to do something about that pretty quick I'd guess.
thickasthieves: i'm having no part in a fork tho
Daniel_Krawisz: Oh, ok. Yeah, something needs to be done about that but I think it's a solvable problem.
Daniel_Krawisz: So I'm curious as to why mircea_popescu has been saying that an increased block size is a security problem. What's the issue here? (sorry, I suck at spelling)

Daniel_Krawisz: It's a good way to establish a dominance hierarchy.
bitstein: Okay, well as I clearly said, we are still learning. Our ratings will adjust over time. I actually probably need to give Daniel a complex number. A 7i + 6.
Daniel_Krawisz: So that's a literal strong bond.
bitstein: We are still trying to learn the best rating scales for our purposes. Perhaps a 10 is too high, but we want to signal a strong bond between board members of SNI. Moving to an 8.
kakobrekla: nubbins` yeah but time is a nonescapable condition
nubbins`: even the nano rating is a lel, but it's true as well

BingoBoingo: bingoboingo cazalla heh check out the furry of attention your little project is getting from our enemies. methinks we;ve struck oil here. << I think the individual blogs stung from time to time. The concentrated effort on a news as information service scares them.
mircea_popescu: bounce that feels like it should have a titty in there.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: Note that it's ironic that I actually made this purchase by mistake because I thought the "Deposit" button meant , yknow, depositing funds, not exchanging currencies. Your system of dollarifying all numbers is obnoxious. Let people type in bitcoin amounts and understand it as a separate currency. You're just confusing things." <<< they're not JUST confusing things.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves or stop calling "a career" menial, servant jobs which don't afford you being with your family.
thickasthieves: just stop having a career and go home
thickasthieves: also, long-distance is a correctable disposition

mircea_popescu: fluffypony: it looks like a B getting probed analy <<< would you prefer an octopus ?
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves which is why it's called a grant.
thickasthieves: i dont understand how you put $30m into a wallet company and take $30m+ back out

bounce: well then. time to dig into git for a bit.
mircea_popescu: you see why this is not the sort of thing another could help with Azelphur. check the secret keyring ? maybe is there a pinentry involved that fails silently ?
Azelphur: bounce: that's possible, the key does require a passphrase
bounce: perhaps depends on a gpg agent that isn't running or perhaps doesn't have the key loaded
mircea_popescu: all it takes is a little time and a coupla determined people.
mircea_popescu: it takes precious little luck for the woodchpper to grind a whole forrest.
bounce: also depends on your perception. this is perhaps the more cogent point. who's going to be right? well... if we're lucky and they're not a lot of the cogs in the usg are going to feel mightily blindsided.
mircea_popescu: if questioned, no matter what the sops say, it's still a loss.
mircea_popescu: the embarassment of havcing to answer to it makes it a loss already.
bounce: well, losing only counts if the judge says it's a loss. if they don't, it's a win.
mircea_popescu: but really, this silkroad thing is becoming a major liability for the usg, after having actually crossed the line from gain to liability sometime in spring.

PeterL: thickasthieves: yes, but it can be a different individual at each end of the transfer, unlike now where you have the same company at both ends
PeterL: you don't need remittances anymore, just a local trader at each end to convert to/from local currency
dignork: thickasthieves: in "send money home" scenario, no arbitrage/insurance is required, unless we are talking about hedging volatility risk. Any btc buyer or seller migh assume himself in "remittance business", which means unrestricted lower bound for margin. that's why i think remittance as a business will disappear. It will just turn into a corner case of btc<->whatever trade.
