ThickAsThieves: i'm currently reading REAMDE actually
Duffer1: i loved that book btw ^.^
BingoBoingo: Fine, I'll pause Land of Lisp and get to it.

asciilifeform: i should note that the idea is lifted from neal stephenson's mega-backbreaker 'anathem'
BingoBoingo: copumpkin: I know, but the scenario submitted some hours ago where asciilifeform clears the entire court docket because of poor signatures isn't a think we might as well read what is entering the court records as they presently exist
ThickAsThieves: "I tell you what. I'll give you a very detailed explanation of how the Tor Network works and how Tor mail works, and you can understand what I mean ... It's designed to not be trackable, not be traceable by any form of government."

BigBlox: i sent from my wallet
BigBlox: how about my btc transaction, doesnt that show the time i sent the bet?
mike_c: but if you want to try and prove, use those charts on coinmarketcap. from what i can tell, when your bet was registered, aurora was at around 4.5
mike_c: i had the wrong time. it actually looks like you were late
BigBlox: i bet before aurora hit 300
Duffer1: the buttcoin article i mea
BigBlox: other than that i'm not sure what i can give you :/

mike_c: in that i am feeling generous tonight, and i think he's right:
BigBlox: what can i provide? my bet went live on the ledger on the 3rd? you guys kept the bet live until today, not sure how that isn't enough
kakobrekla: oh right, i does.
ThickAsThieves: i havent parsed whole doc
kakobrekla: i did?
BigBlox: the site says the bets are resolved hours after, if i bet on the 3rd and it was resolved today, then isnt that automatically legit?
BingoBoingo: I believe that point had been mentioned here before...
BigBlox: i mean the bet showed up on the ledger, then the next day on the 4th i emailed, does that count or can i show you an email with the time and date?
BigBlox: oh before, i have shots of the time after it passed, how can i get that?
BigBlox: i took a screen shot to show my friend :)
BigBlox: k, where do i send it
BigBlox: i mean i'm glad i got my refund, not trying to be a drama queen, but i was surprised i didnt win since i was the one asking, since the 3rd
BigBlox: i actually didnt know if it was going to but i believed in aurora from the get go so i was pretty sure :)
BigBlox: i sent it before aurora beat litecoin, then i wrote to ask if they were resolving it
kakobrekla: sorry, i should say !====
BigBlox: i doubt it, it was still open a few days after i sent it
BigBlox: k, well basically i entered the altcoin bet, that was to overtake litecoin, i said yes, i emailed and was told it was a scam, i said i didnt agree, specifically said i didnt want to cancel my bet, and it was still cancelled
bitcoinpete: As much as I'd love to keep earning brownie points by chatting instead of just reading the logs like I do the scrolls, it's time to go for tonight. Cheers y'all
BingoBoingo: And then I got drunk and spent most of them on Buttcoins
ThickAsThieves: thats why i love bitbet
BingoBoingo: I.e. "Who could anticipate that S.Dice would cease to be a tradable thing"
bitcoinpete: bingoboingo: that's where I was going
cads: nor am I sure how to structure the IP rights of the result
cads: I know how to sell basic drafting services, but I need to sell some product/industrial design services and I'm not sure how to price it to the client
kakobrekla: i dont think i have to repeat myself re bitstamp.
asciilifeform: if you don't believe this, get thee to a dusty book store and buy bucky fuller's 'synergetics' I and II
cazalla: i wonder if people are testing his hypothesis
cazalla: asciilifeform: what's a ghost telegraph? i cannot find anything on google
asciilifeform: 'this ghost telegraph! it'll be what i'm remembered for! just needs a little tweaking.'
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i don't think this is it at all
kakobrekla: i guess misconception add up over the years ☟︎
asciilifeform: eventually i will deal with this subject in writing, unless mp takes up this chore in my place.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this tome will not be burying Landau, but it's an acceptable bait to whet an amateur's interest, i'd imagine.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If the text in question was http://www.roadsolutions.ox.ac.uk/ I have it sitting on a shelf
asciilifeform: (might've been penrose, now that i think about it)
deadweasel: oh man, this thing is dead to me already. i have the log. fuck it.
Mats_cd03: i think the community needs it
CheckDavid: Mats_cd03: I won't put the book down but I won't understand much of what's next either
mircea_popescu: i never heard anyone rejecting a book idea on the grounds that goats wouldn't read it.
deadweasel: fuck, Mats_cd03 i see your point
deadweasel: considering what the forum consumes, i think it'd be a hit.
Mats_cd03: i promise you once the average person sees the word cryptography theyre going to put the book down
mircea_popescu: i guess you gotta do something with the ones not pretty enough to dance nude in the street.
deadweasel: also, apparently, I could use an engrish teacher.
deadweasel: frankly I'm saving the logs for when one of you enterprising fucks puts consolidates and puts them into a book, as a sort of People Guide to the History of Bitcoin.

ThickAsThieves: i think its just socks socking socks
mircea_popescu: well some drama i have no diea
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves any merit to all that ? /// i'm not sure i even understand what that is. The thread isn't moderated, but maybe someone reported a sock ot something? I had the poster on ignore already fwiw
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i spilled. trabambourghini is like the best car name ever
ThickAsThieves: “The clear use of dollar bills for transacting in illegal goods, anonymous transactions, tax fraud, and services or speculative gambling make me wary of their use. Before the United States gets too far behind the curve on this important topic, I urge the regulators to work together, act quickly, and prohibit this dangerous currency from harming hard-working Americans,” said Polis.
benkay: i'll play loki
ThickAsThieves: As for the pseudonym – a tactic reminiscent of that of Bitcoin’s mysterious, unidentified creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, auroracoin’s founder says, “The agents of the state will attack anyone challenging their power, so I chose a name from Norse mythology to shield myself from such attacks.”
BingoBoingo: I imagine BitBet is going to have to blacklist the WSJ as a source nao
