los_pantalones: yes yes, i am a wrong here
mircea_popescu: then you want to push the other way ? bet a little more on mp. so its now 58k to 37k
los_pantalones: it's not a prediction game
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones drinks, tits, streaming game, betting tips, a whole atmosphere such as it is
los_pantalones: b/c i need a very last second bet
mircea_popescu: mike_c prolly a large factor also.
los_pantalones: as a sports betting person myself
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla do me a favour, calculat ethe sum pool over the sports bets past 365 days
mircea_popescu: tlp actually has a good write-up for this
asciilifeform: some reason i imagined sport bets were a 'major thing' (not for me personally, but for a mythical 'unwashed mass waiting to arise')
mircea_popescu: the way I figure it, if the wc set fails to attract 500 btc total pool, we'll just ditch sports as a category and mostly reject all proposed sports bet without zeroconf
mircea_popescu: mike_c a that's true. so i guess 5.
assbot: BitBet - A golfer from USA will win the 2014 Masters :: 0.06 B (47%) on Yes, 0.07 B (53%) on No | closed 2 months 2 days ago
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/788/a-golfer-from-usa-will-win-the-2014/
benkay: sports betting is a mass thing anyways, isn't it?
benkay: <mike_c> sport bets do fine on bitbet (see nba finals bets). soccer on the other hand.. // implying footie's not a sport?
kakobrekla: which is also a scam
mircea_popescu: anyway, in 1994 a good affiliate could send you even 100k clicks which'd convert upwards of 10%
mircea_popescu: and an affiliate manager is a guy who knows a lot of affiliate marketeers who trust him.
nubbins`: so the whole thing is a bit rose-colored
nubbins`: except for that one time in japan, but that was a long time ago and also my first sushi experience
mike_c: there's a couple frenchies winning too.
mircea_popescu: mike_c what's a manu ginobli
mircea_popescu: obviously also a great time to affliate bitbet, but then again, i couldn't even find an affiliate manager at all
mike_c: Bet created: "Much grass will grow while waiting for somebody to score a goal"
mircea_popescu: so logically a) if you wonder later why your zeroconf sports bet got rejected by mods, the reason ios probably here and b) if you want to see sport bets on bitbet, this is a bad time to sit and watch and a great time to get involved.
mircea_popescu: Ok so here's a story : BitBet curently has 19 World Cup bets open. The average bet on these is .175 (excluding house and mpif), like so .79, .44, 0, .21, .60, .10, .54, .03, 0, 0, .01, 0, .05, .28, .01, .04, 0, .11, .11. Now, on top of these, there's no less than 30 bets pending approval on WC, pretty much "X country will advance from groups".
asciilifeform: 'I realized that I’ve never touched a fax machine before—that it’s as abstract, for me, as the laser guns...' << clearly never dealt with usg. fax is mandatory to this day!
chetty: wine is not a usual ingredient of teriyaki
mircea_popescu: oft times ill just put it to fire for a few minutes and have it for breakfast
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, the salmon looks really delicious, so far I knew how to cook a similar dish, without the wine and spice though
benkay: "just a big gaping hole over here - please to insert datadicks"
benkay: if it gets you in a barrel and over the falls sign me up
mircea_popescu: of fucking course a global currency would cause poorer countriesd to be left behind
assbot: kinoshitajona comments on [Serious] I couldn't answer this question when discussing Bitcoin with my Dad: Isn't it sometimes beneficial to allow governments to stabilise their currency if there is uncontrollable inflation/deflation due to unavoidable events? Wouldn't a global currency cause poorer countries to be left behind?
fluffypony: Gaven Andresen answered a question on Reddit, it's nice to know Redditards have switched from religious metaphors to pop culture:
mircea_popescu: just dump them all in there with a flag
moiety: i do but there's a lot of time left
mircea_popescu: moiety you still have a btc with me, got an address yet ?
mircea_popescu: actually someone should make a lolpost about "break the age glass ceiling! women should be killed off by the government so that on average they live as long as men!!11"
fluffypony: a win-win!
fluffypony: advantage of having a vegetarian wife: more for me
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i wasn't in rift for about a month, people were throwing a fit
moiety: lolpretty much mircea_popescu i ran out of funds half way and was in this empty flat for a few days
moiety: i've had such a disater moving! i've had no internet
mircea_popescu: o look it's a kitten! where've you been moiety
assbot: .: AySA - Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos S.A. :.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony they finally figured out that 60% return rate isn't really such a good number ?
mike_c: spoken like a man who has been creamed in the past betting against difficulty
ThickAsThieves: it's a diff bear trap
mircea_popescu: i mean any half-literate scammer in sierra-leone can get a good flamewar raging for 500 pages in two weeks, the self appointed cream of teh internets slash intellectual core of progressivism can't even get to 12 ?!
mircea_popescu: by now it's sunk into the depths of pathetic : trying to get a thread going, which gets 6 pages out of which 2/3 is their kindling
mircea_popescu: this is a sa job btw.
mircea_popescu: I bought several at $1.000, many others at $550, but at the end, I am a looser in term of financial results.
mircea_popescu: "I got swept up in the mania last November and dared to invest my life saving into purchasing 1 bitcoin, just as it was near peak. That turned out to be a terrible purchase for me"
pankkake: it comes with a special status
Apocalyptic: it is to a certain extent
fluffypony: he mods the French sub-forum, it's not exactly a position of power
pankkake: but davout being a mod there, I don't trust him either!
fluffypony: give it a spin, let us know how it goes
chetty: so basically he is claiming a deposit with no actual evidence he made it? Wonder if that would work with my bank?
mircea_popescu: t so far manage to do so and a optionally a link to here to detail that.
mircea_popescu: davout so make a single post in that thread, containing paymium's service address, a statement that you've tried to the best of your ability to identify his claims but didn'
mircea_popescu: davout service address is a postal address where one receives service of process
fluffypony: maybe he's hoping that by throwing enough of a tantrum davout will just throw money at him
mircea_popescu: davout do you have a service address ?
davout: also, for the sake of keeping a public record, the script i used to explore the blockchain in order to try and find his deposit address, none of the two i was looking for appeared
mircea_popescu: "Ideally, I prefer to have the entire 1,132 BTC, sans the 400 BTC bounty amount, paid in full to me, but knowing that sometimes arbitration takes place, I'm willing to settle for a minimal amount, with anybody acting as liaison to broker their reward up to 100% of what I may finally recognize. The minimum I'm welling to settle for is $50K USD via BTC or fiat to compensate for my initial investment and the mega hours I
davout: i explained to him how a shared wallet works, later he refers to it as mumble-jumble
davout: it was a post-mortem security audit
davout: he's imagining there is a liquidator
davout: mircea_popescu fluffypony he can go ask jgarzik, the guy paid me 5678 BTC back in the day, also i got into bitcoin at such a time that i mined some blocks on a goddamn CPU
davout: fluffypony: not the received total in a timeframe actually, the received total, and then i checked manually the actual deposits against these addresses
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: davout's talking about searching for the total received for each address in a timeframe
mircea_popescu: this seems a fools errand as im sure his balance didn't come in one chunk.
fluffypony: every thread that's popped up that I've read has him claiming those two Instawallet URLs (plus a third that had 0.825 BTC or something that he disregards), but no further evidence
davout: took a few days for the script to reverse-explore the chain from the CS address
davout: once i had a massive collection of addresses i checked for an address whose received totals matched the balances he claimed, to no avail
mircea_popescu: davout so he does not make a specific claim to either address or transaction, he makes a specific claim as to balance and to url which can't be verified, is the thing ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: he gets asked to prove he deposited 1100+ BTC into Instawallet, providing a transaction ID or a signed BTC addy that sent it or ANYTHING, and he just ignores those requests or talks around them
mircea_popescu: so as best you can determine, there's a month+ interval where according to phinn he had 1k+ btc, but according to your db he had not ?
davout: a month or two i think
mircea_popescu: well were they a week older than the live db ?a month ? more ?
davout: i checked for that against a few backups
davout: except we didn't have a tor hidden service
Apocalyptic: "BTW, I would not rule out the possiblity that Boussac himself is a victim of davout to some extent" who's Boussac again ?
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> phin put a 400 btc bounty on davout's head !? //looks like it
mircea_popescu: his generative grammar is quite bizarre, i can't follow statements like "all three didn't" worth a crap.
mircea_popescu: well let's see. instawallet had a system whereby ownership is proven by url. the guy had 3 urls. what was not associated with what ?
blackwhite: I have just been busy so primarily just reading once in a while. Was more involved earlier.
mircea_popescu: davout what's the backstory on "At the onset of the InstaWallet fiasco, all three URLs didn't have a bitcoin wallet associated with the generated pages. It wasn't till after I brought it to Boussac's attention that the lesser bitcoin-containing wallet was well-document that it mysterious had the associated wallet address visible on the URL generated site. This is why they refuse to release the name of the forensics aud
mircea_popescu: phin put a 400 btc bounty on davout's head !?
mircea_popescu: decimation: waiting around and doing nothing while you hope a magic "process" or "committee" or "standarization" will do your job constitutes at least 50% of western officeworker employment << the best part is that this used to actually work, a century or so ago.
davout: he's a french guy that i've met a couple of times, also forumite
davout: kinda fun going into the office and have everyone be like "o hai, you have a 400 btc contract on your head" :D
davout: i'm waiting for phinneaus to show up on -assets again, so i can pierce him a second butthole in front of everyone
fluffypony: such a gorgeous model
Namworld: Dafuq youtube... giving me before my video a 1 hour ad video about Bitcoin, "Ride the Great Coming Wave"... Such a scammy ad.
diana_coman: are the logs of this channel available as a dump (I know about http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/ but it seems to give them only day by day, while I wanted to play around with a bigger sample)
