HeySteve: do I need to be registered for WoT?
Neil: mircea_popescu: Kinda surprised by your faith in WoT. I'm not on it, but have had many dealings with reputable "players". Not sure I believe anything on it, given the rep it assigned to "pirateat40" just before he "did the inevitable".
nubbins`: and i'm not rusted ;(
HeySteve: I don't get output
nubbins`: i'd offer to escrow, but who am i, anyway? :D
nubbins`: i've done maybe 10btc worth of deals and escrow with salty
mircea_popescu: HeySteve i have a few btc in escrow with salty spitoon atm
Neil: I recall there was a John K scam accusation that lasted about 3 wks last September-ish, and went quiet in an unconvincing way.
HeySteve: I thought he made good with everyone, or is this a new episode?
HeySteve: I had funds with JohnK during his long unexplained absence
Neil: "Yes". "But I'm not gonna sign it for you for the first time, given my history of not signing this shit". "Oh, OK."
Neil: Yesterday had "exit interview" at bigcorp from which I resigned my shitty job.

Neil: mircea_popescu: I'm certain you're right.
mircea_popescu: Neil so people think, but from what i know the bureaucrats rarely actually enjoy their job
Neil: But given her intro, I'm sure she loved the effect that "enforcement office for the SEC" or whatever it was had on 90% of the plebs

mircea_popescu: which is why i posted.
mircea_popescu: i thought so too
Neil: BingoBoingo: I suspect you're right
BingoBoingo: I was under the impression the sig contained the unhashed Pub key of an address
mircea_popescu: i've never read how sigsig is actually implemented in code.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea.
Neil: I think you need the signature, the message and the address. I doubt 2 of those 3 is enough for software
Apocalyptic: mircea, I believe the address nor the date is included in the sig, it's just a b64 ecoding of binary data
nubbins`: is there a max limit to how far out? i was thinking april 1 2015
nubbins`: i'm saying 2x par by <date>
nubbins`: i'm trying to construct a reasonably sound bet on the price of s.mg, and i'm wondering if anyone has input on the conditions
Apocalyptic: Neil, you bet on the Yes side I presume
Neil: b.t.w. I claim full credit for the 10% bet
Neil: In fact I consider 20% too safe; was gonna make it more interesting.
Neil: mircea_popescu: Ah, absolutely. I intend to submit a bet soon but you or your stooges rejected my last one, so was waiting a while.
nubbins`: some guy i've sold a bunch to
davout: basically my point is that the mm algo is now what i imagined it to be initially, so that it should work as everyone expects it

bitcoinpete: benkay: well, in a nutshell, those were the dreams-of-smed-school days, a dream resolved by B- grades and a lot of poker. after undergrad, this being alberta, i spent a year selling trucks and started blogging. after selling truck got boring, i did an after-degree in environmental health and spent 2.5 years working as a public health inspector with the province. then…bitcoin. always had an interest in tech, investing,
moiety: and err youre right, i'd keep that to yourself re the 'rents XD
benkay: honestly rather glad i was traveling.
chetty: idiocy I get but convenience? like eating fast food?

mircea_popescu: i suppose if you're very bored you can hunt them all down and ask them, either on irc, via forum pms or w/e.
BingoBoingo: I wonder if there is a way to get the reaction from those exchange shareholder on welfare. If only there were a log like that of their reactions to be leaked.
BingoBoingo: I wonder how many of the Old GLBSE tards are familiar with this latest SEC email exchange? How hurt are the butts that saw Nefario just up and quit?
mircea_popescu: just like the people who imagine that if they spend a lot of time editing wikipedia they are now qualified to whatever, direct research spending i guess.

Shakespeare: the line i feel the most, in the whole thing, is this: "If you can do anything it’ll be hard actually doing anything."

asciilifeform: 'i gave the fool an ax, to fetch some kindling sticks; and to the mosque he went, and smashed the door to bits.' (persian, bad double-translation from rus. mine)
Shakespeare: i guess that's a loaded q
Shakespeare: as an aside while i read, do you consider a state leader imposing law that results in more children to be smart or dumb?
asciilifeform: i picture this hypothetical device as being a kind of topologically reverse version of the 'milking machine' japan recently became famous for.
Shakespeare: i have one cat with protein allergies
asciilifeform: in the town there i live, there is, theoretically, a tax on cats
