joecool: goal to be open? yeah ok, they said absolutely nothing about the other half, didn't ship it with
a flasher
fluffypony: thestringpuller: "how can an app be real without
a GUI?????" - Windows user
davidlatapie: davout: this is really
a shame that b-c closes. The only exchange to be fully compliant with EU regulations and be completely located in the Eurozone :(
davout: that would constitute
a yes
Apocalyptic: the point is the bet outcome is controlled by
a single individual
BingoBoingo: Yeah, some bear dude. I don't think it was the scam enabling moderator one. All I know is later they fucked themself by buying
a bunch of block erupters.
BingoBoingo: jurov: Yeah, there was someone on Bitcointalk buying batches and paying without issue so I unloaded them that way instead of waiting for
a market.
BingoBoingo: In other news after
a month of ineffective bullshit Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole as me pretty much healed up.
benkay: wywialm: haven't seen you in
a while - how many months of logs are you reading?
wywialm: ThickAsThieves: if you plan to consider something connected with money when designing (economic) systems, you may want to have
a look at "Theory of monetary institutions" by Lawrence White
princessnell: <ThickAsThieves> what i'm working on, includes
a suggestion that there are multiple types of economies, each with roles/strengths << going from here, the types and properties are determined by the gene/culture interaction of the group that acts upon it
ThickAsThieves: and thus some definitions of properties of economies, with some epectation of each property's effect on
a design
princessnell: basically: the endogeneity becomes
a lot more managable when viewed from an evolutionary lense
princessnell: the properties of
a unique economy are inextricable from the social behaviors of the humans who influence and are influenced by it

assbot: In which Peter Singer investigates
a basement flood - Existential Comics
princessnell: (thermoeconomists extend this point more literally, but i think it's better as
a mental model)
ThickAsThieves:
a game of life kind of thing with economies as organisms or whatever
ThickAsThieves: what i'm working on, includes
a suggestion that there are multiple types of economies, each with roles/strengths
ThickAsThieves: well, I see weaknesses in that it contains itself within each of its requires elements, and that there is aguably
a lack of distinction between the punishment gazette and the forum
thestringpuller: fluffypony: yea I think that story is
a good textbook example of "true love" or what have you
fluffypony: thestringpuller: btw, watched that clip with the wife, was
a little teary at the end :)
danielpbarron: what would be
a decent bounty to offer for someone to figure out how to compile ssss-0.5 on openbsd 5.5?
ThickAsThieves: it probably all boils down to something super simple, like
a basic physics concept
ThickAsThieves: this began
a common thread through other observations about bitcoin and systems
ThickAsThieves: i line
a repeated
a few times at the bitcoin conference: "You can't remove trust from transactions, you can only design it to be where you prefer it"
jurov: extract more absolute observations <<
a fool's errand
princessnell: I'm writing about that right now so I'm
a bit anchored :)
princessnell: ThickAsThieves I'd think human psychology would factor into those questions as well. Thinking Fast and Slow would be
a good start.
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves: RE: Not representing mining in any broad way. << You did operate assets that correlated to hashpower, so I just kinda figured you were
a "mining something" you know?
pankkake: I don't think creating
a new coin is an honest attitude
ThickAsThieves: having
a large proportion of the money isnt
a problem per se
ThickAsThieves: <+asciilifeform> ThickAsThieves: if ECDSA pops, afaik all known coins go with it /// lotsa ways to kill
a coin
pankkake: yeah, it is both
a stupid intention, and an impossible goal
pankkake: address VERSION. because satoshi is
a genius, he thought about future problems already
fluffypony: asciilifeform: I was just reading about that today (in the context of "Bitcoin will die because quantum computer!!!111") - general idea is that
a hard fork to something different if quantum computing was imminent would solve that
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Yeah, maybe
a couple weeks ago at the latest.
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: in this specific case I don't know if you can call it an altcoin; it shares no common code with Bitcoin and has
a completely different protocol / way of storing the blockchain / etc.
fluffypony: benkay: that's moot, I'm already heavily invested in BTC (the equivalent of "learn Common Lisp" by analogy), finding Monero interesting and possibly worthwhile does not change my position on BTC but is, rather,
a direct result of the knowledge already accumulated
benkay: that differs from the rest of the crop by one or
a couple features is
benkay:
A "new" languagewait hang on asciilifeform i'm thinking about
jurov: <thestringpuller> is there
a legit ltc/btc exchange? << x-bt.com but there's no volume :(
ThickAsThieves: yes, i was on AM board, but that's falling
a bit out of the context I was mentioned in
ThickAsThieves: <+thestringpuller> ThickAsThieves was
a great mining representative but he exited the mining space. /// I dont think I ever represented mining in any broad way. Never sold or represented any hardware or tech.
Apocalyptic: thestringpuller> is there
a legit ltc/btc exchange? // x-bt.com
gribble: Error: 'MAXINT' is not
a valid positiveFloat.
fluffypony: had
a discussion with gmaxwell
a few days ago about ring signatures, and he agrees that it could be done in
a kludgy way in BTC, but it's an unlikely thing to happen, so Monero will possibly carve out
a nice niche among the darknet markets crowd
fluffypony: everything else I will dabble in, but I'm in and out within
a month or two at the most
thestringpuller: fluffypony: do you have
a long term supply of LTC or are you exiting?
fluffypony: BTC is the highest by volume by
a wide margin
thestringpuller: looks like it may be easier to just buy
a shit ton of LTC cash and then liquidate it into btc
fluffypony: they spend
a fortune on their credit card when BTC is spiking
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves was
a great mining representative but he exited the mining space.
danielpbarron: obviously it's not all
a scam, but everything i see talked about seems to be
a scam
thestringpuller: it seems every miner that comes into btc-assets turns into
a scammer
fluffypony: thestringpuller: nah couldn't be bothered to buy an ASIC that's going to turn into
a paperweight in 8 months
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: cool - I'm busy putting together an integration guide for exchanges, after spending
a few hours fighting with the RPC API (still plenty raw) so will send that on to you when done
fluffypony: they have
a tendency to go away randomly
fluffypony: all the rigs are off atm, got
a few EC2 instances mining Monero but will switch them off in
a few days
fluffypony: thestringpuller: only as
a side-effect
fluffypony: thestringpuller: yes, lulls you into
a false sense of security
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: Monero, but as its not forked from Bitcoin its
a bit of
a bitch to integrate
fluffypony: moiety: "
A good way to handle idiots on call centers is btw to just hang up and call again, repeat until you have someone on the line that actually acts like
a human." - because what I love most of all is sitting on hold for another 23 minutes.
