isthisreallyreal: overstock.com? I can only see that you can buy with regular currencys on that site!
isthisreallyreal: I can only find places to BUY bitcoins, not buy WITH them..
isthisreallyreal: And also, do you guys know any good marketplace where i can buy and sell with bitcoin?
isthisreallyreal: haha, not that basic! I'm just wondering exactly what you're talking about here:)
BingoBoingo: Tychoon, Barron... Things were bound to go wrong when I tried to submit to Slashot completely sober/
mircea_popescu: o look, mpoe is trading 88 now ? i guess short sellers got bored or what
joecool: <Diablo-D3> people read /.? < the english language is tricky on this point, it is true that people have read /. however I do not think people still read /.
Duffer1: i would, dunno if it's grammatically necessary though
diametric: asciilifeform: so that pod i got off ebay works on the logic analyzer
diametric: I had always assumed it was some personal collection of pictures.
mircea_popescu: i mean
mircea_popescu: i wonder if the d ever gives out furry prons
diametric: I didn't take it as such
mircea_popescu: i wasn't intimating you're a bad person or anything.
diametric: i spread myself too thin honestly, i have a wide range of interests but never enough time to fully explore them.
mircea_popescu: fwiw i dun think most furries actually do any fucking
diametric: oh i'm sure.
diametric: nah its not something i spend a lot of time thinking about.
diametric: mircea_popescu: I see your point, maybe not harm at its basic level. Intent has a lot to do with it.
mircea_popescu: ("i'm not really a waitress, i'm just on my way to the newsweek stint")
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah it's a lot more diffuse than that. i suspect many of them actually worked in a job that required them to dress as an animal. they do that for parties/disne\yland etc.
asciilifeform: (i personally don't know anyone who does this particular thing, so i can only guess)
diametric: its a fetish. some people like feet, some people like anal gaping, some people like making scrambled eggs compromised of equal parts chicken eggs and semen. those guys like dressing up like animals and fucking. I think anonymity is incidental
mircea_popescu: diametric i mean what, you can't be friends with a war veteran ?
mircea_popescu: i can't see how i could take seriously someone with poor taste.
diametric: I do dismiss people that inflict harm on others, despite whatever else they might have to offer
diametric: a consideration for what? I mean, sure its something I might factor in if its relevant to the situation, but I wouldn't dismiss someone simple because of that.
asciilifeform: i sorta wonder if the animal costumes are an anonymity thing
mircea_popescu: but i mean how do you judge another ?
diametric: to what end though, i don't really care if people dress up like animals and fuck each other if they want too. I think its weird, but I would not consider myself a better person than they on that alone.
mircea_popescu: diametric what's harm to do with anything ? i'd rather take a smoker than someone who watches tv.
diametric: i tend not to judge others on harmless stuff, though that shit must be uncomfortable as fuck to wear.
steven-__: i wonder if the pants are just to hide the dick holes you know they have
benkay: i was seeing mythical things.
mircea_popescu: then conde nast bought it and it became sorta-popular with the majored-in-business crowd i guess
mircea_popescu: i find it hard to believe reddit ever had any qyality to begin with
mircea_popescu: why shouldn't i have people that claim im a scammer
diametric: i like it, all the anti-mp people were out in full force on reddit
mircea_popescu: i don't know how hard im trolling either, tbh, but i figure it should be somewhere between my penis and a brick wall.
benkay: i don't even php, so i don't know how hard you're trolling right now
mircea_popescu: i tell you :D
mircea_popescu: ya well, i don't personally trust them so i have no use for them on these lines, but in principle what can you do.
mircea_popescu: i don't see that it's such anathema.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if this is practical for them.
Duffer1: hirethestache money sent to any of those addresses in that list will probably be credited to your CB account, but i'm not 100% on that, by trying to dumb it down for the average person they make it way more complicated...
Hirethestache: I need to go back to BTC school
Duffer1: they don't make it obvious, but i believe they do, let me check
benkay: mircea_popescu Hirethestache i'm suggesting using the user-specific inbound address.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea i never used the thing
Hirethestache: Although I do plan on betting on BRK
Hirethestache: ^^hence the reason I'm so adamant about betting ASAP hah
bitcoinpete: I'll bbl
test123: i see thanks- greater weight equals greater pay out at end if on winning side
mircea_popescu: i dunno man.
Hirethestache: My bitcoin lingo is now officially dead in the water. I really need to do more research. You think you know so much until you realize you don't.
mircea_popescu: holy shit i rank for dicelist ?!
Hirethestache: Mircea, I don't have the cold storage addresses stored digitally anywhere
Hirethestache: Might have to email myself from my Coinbase and take the address out of the ema. That's the only workaround I can think of
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu lmao I'll have to look for those next time I'm at the public library
Hirethestache: But back to my original question, is there an easy way to send to bitbet from Coinbase? I wanna get in on this bet ASAP, but I only have my iPhone, ergo only have access to the Coinbase wallet
mircea_popescu: i eventually took it out, what.
benkay: mircea_popescu: i guess 2012's a while ago in buttyears
Hirethestache: It's on the nexus which is wifi only, and I only go online when I need to use it for BTC. Two step aught still
mircea_popescu: benkay as an experiment i put a privkey in a window at some point in 2012.
Hirethestache: I agree. I have about 3 on CB and two on my nexus
Hirethestache: Oh yeah, I don't have any coins directly on it. I have a small Coinbase account, a small amount on my nexus wallet, and everything else on a paper wallet in a safe
Hirethestache: Do you have any documentation on that? I need to look into that, definitely
Hirethestache: Just my iPhone and nexus tablet, but I won't have access to the nexus for 48hours
Hirethestache: I'm traveling, so no unfortunately not.
Hirethestache: I'm mobile, and there are not any iOS apps for BTC wallets that I know about. I have my android with a small wallet, but it's not on me ATM.
Hirethestache: I do, more or less. I have my cold storage, but I use my small amount on CB for small transactions.
Hirethestache: I've searched for a simple guide, but there are not many resources on the specific resolve
mircea_popescu: or perhaps something along the lines of "Yes well, I once asked a married woman to my hotel room. She said no and yet showed up."
Duffer1: so Obama called Putin to tell him the U.S. would never recognize the Crimea referendum. I can't imagine Putins response was anything other than "HAHAHHHAAHAHA"
ozbot: O hai. I was justing doing a penetration test of your site. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/o-hai-i-was-justing-doing-a-penetration-test-of-your-site/
mircea_popescu: 'random botnet-ish requests show vague link to nsa in one blogger's estimation' is what i'd call it
dub: asciilifeform: is there something deeper than 'nsa tests botnet I think'?
khersonus: "if you look at the whole pie I’d be muchly surprised if a tenth of all Bitcoin trade ever sees a so-called exchange website" < if this is really true, I can see your point. I've just never witnessed that much otc trading, perhaps.
khersonus: I'll read it again
khersonus: it still doesn't seem like it would be that difficult of a problem. I'm surprised you haven't come up with a solution, given the potential profit it could have and has had for mpex
Duffer1: i suppose so, you are right
khersonus: Duffer1: maybe that's true. But maybe this big bet on berkshire is also a conflict of interests? he owns most of bitbet anyway, I thought
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 imagine if i also got to select the secret valid nonce for each block, too.
mircea_popescu: khersonus i could, practically. i couldn't, theoretically, becuase THAT would be undue concentration, ie the bad sort of centralisation.
asciilifeform: damn it, i leave for just one day to hang out with humans in person, and miss all this good shit.
freeroute: mircea_popescu: cool, I'll give them a read.
mircea_popescu: anyway, freeroute, you'll need to do some reading. like http://trilema.com/2012/gpg-contracts/ and http://trilema.com/2013/why-i-nixed-p2p-colored-coins-and-all-that-jazz/
freeroute: mircea_popescu: hmm, I was under the impression that OT was still being developed
ThickAsThieves: as i understood decentralized systems, they utilize new ledgers, maintained by servers
ThickAsThieves: i may be mixing OT and MasterCoin in here
freeroute: (I assume)
Mats_cd03: youve blown my mind, i never realized that about bitcoin /s
freeroute: not really a great example since selling pot commercially is still heavily regulated and still not legal, but I do see where you're getting at
Mats_cd03: i would not bet any of my wealth on a best-effort approach
ThickAsThieves: i think it can be for the most part
ThickAsThieves: i'm on the fence
Mats_cd03: i suppose a combined legal and technical approach would be a best-effort case for enforcement
freeroute: enforced was the word I was looking for indeed
Mats_cd03: i move to have it permanently banned from use
