ThickAsThieves: interestingly, in
a WoT/BTC/Mircean world, all bad things are permanent record
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (intel never once in its entire life published anything but
a mockery of 'open source.' see their 'open' bios, for example.) << sadly. which is why everyone's on amd, really.
gribble: Error: "bc,diff" is not
a valid command.
danielpbarron: and i suppose if you send from
a machine that is associated with you, that could be traced
fluffypony: I've gotta bounce, at
a friend's house and we're going to go eat and drink
danielpbarron: if i send funds to an address, you cannot be sure its my address; maybe i gave them away to
a random address
fluffypony: "YOU DIDN'T PUT
A SMILEY ON IT, YOU MUST BE SAYING SOMETHING MEAN"
benkay: i'm
a wee bit more observant than that. but you know, ambiguity and IRC.
benkay: can someone who's not
a retarded american tell me if i'm off my fucking rocker?
fluffypony: well we'll see, I think time will tell whether untraceability is
a desirous thing
fluffypony: and then you launched forth into
a circuitous argument
benkay: and then that those coins went to
a known drug dealer at another point
fluffypony: no story - I'm arguing that
a use case will exist for untraceability (or optional traceability, if you will) in future
fluffypony: gubmint suspects you are dealing in illicit books, so they setup
a sting to sell you BTC - they are now able to watch you spend those coins on said illegal books
benkay: broadcasting txns like
a boss
benkay: fluffypony: it's not
a use case for the vast majority of users, and for those who actually care solutions already exist.
fluffypony: try
a transaction, look at it on the blockchain explorer, and then see what useful info you can derive at
a mixin of 0
fluffypony: gmaxwell has
a test implementation of it, but judging by his comments in #monero-dev he doesn't like its fit with BTC much
benkay: anonymity is also
a red herring
fluffypony: oh and it has
a 24-word deterministic seed (based on Electrum's wordlist)
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: it's not forked from Bitcoin, so that already makes for
a change
ThickAsThieves: <+bitcoinpete> "your use of vocab is the least impressive and your facts are skewed only to meet your own objectives." /// Stop being mean to Litecoin! (I just proposed
a new bet that Dark(coin) will defeat Lite(coin) :)
ThickAsThieves: <+mike_c> you add
a bunch of
A records in the DNS for active nodes. i'll let you know.// ah, i assumed i needed to place some sort of text file at the domain to get picked up, but i am somewhat comfortable with DNS so I can do that too if needed
pankkake: I never followed bitfunder, but I wonder how it ended up as such
a fractional reserve
pankkake: I think he's
a piñata, but with bitcoins inside his body
mike_c: decimation:if you total the amount of money spent on microsoft over the years, USG could have built its own secure OS and secure hardware to run it on << on the other hand, they couldn't even build
a fucking website with hundreds of millions of dollars.
BingoBoingo: Eh, the ATF is probably going to go after them when one of their customers fills
a sock with their quarters and uses the product as
a weapon.
BingoBoingo: Washboard is
a startup whose business is you send them money, and they return to you less money!
kakobrekla: last time
a trade was written to my history.
kakobrekla: >I just uncovered
a problem. I'm using the API to trade. I'm generating orders, and they are accepted by Bitfinex, but thats the extent of it. I have an orderid, time stamp, and the response says the trade is active. They don't get processed, and the history doesn't get updated. I've sent an email to support, but was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything strange like this. Seems to have start after 4:30 this afternoon. Th
moiety: sorry my internet had
a stroke

Vexual: whats that about
a month?

a tshirt supposedly
pankkake: I wouldn't trust someone in IT with
a suit
xmj: so you'll be able to find
a real decent tailor for less than you'd spend in other places.
xmj: do yourself
a favor and have fun with the stewardesses.
xmj: give me
a call once you land
fluffypony: so with my flight to Estonia on Monday I have normal business class baggage limits - 32kg x2 checked, 8kg x2 hand luggage - but my local flight from here to Joburg has
a 20kg *total* baggage limit
Apocalyptic: having
a WoT account doesn't mean everything you write is signed
Apocalyptic: <Vexual> I'll be less fun if everything I write is signed // you seem to have
a misconception here
BingoBoingo: punkman1: These fucking aussies who strike out on their own are
a form of the worst.
assbot: We’re Telling England There’s
a Chance! | FiveThirtyEight
BingoBoingo: From that position Due East there is
a girl. From this angle face is blured. Try noving North or South... No bluring

decimation: but that's also looking like
a pretty niche market
decimation: so if there is
a serious linux based alternative cpu for them -- they are gone
decimation: but... this is intel's solution to "open" arm competition. Why would they start with
a proprietary toolchain?
decimation: sucks :( I will take this as
a reminder to test out my backup arrangements
TheNewDeal: thought GHASH pulled
a sneaky one and solved like 6 blocks in
a row
decimation: re: wreckers - sounds like
a good description of the environmental lobby to me. bring back RSFSR penal code article 58
decimation: ;;later tell Mats_cd03 I apologize for logging - I had to get some sleep for an early morning. I generally check the logs within
a few days, so it's still productive to write for the record.
bitcoinpete: "So let’s recognize the world has changed
a bit over the last two decades and call them for what they are. These aren’t startups - and most of the upside from investing in these companies comes before they even go public, not after the fact."
moiety: moiety means one half of
a whole anyways
punkman: bitcoinpete: why don't we call it
a moiety
bitcoinpete: cow's calf is the only slang term for half
a quid i could find
mircea_popescu: but no, in general the "purchase price" is more of
a pr device than an accounting device these days
mike_c: well, facebook doesn't just announce
a 20bn purchase. they are public, they have to record what they pay.
mircea_popescu: if actual bitcoin is at stake, it doing so becomes
a certainty.
mircea_popescu: facebook can announce
a 20bn buy of something worth 0 any time it pleases.
mike_c: it just feels like
a situation where bitpay fiat investors would clean up but d.bpay investors could lose big.
