HeySteve: well, public forum... yes I knocked up
a quick phpBB for testing
HeySteve: the goal is to make
a less scammy cryptocurrency
HeySteve: or bitcoin if
a sidechain, if that happens
HeySteve: this makes things
a little trickier
HeySteve: essentially to integrate
a reputation system within
a blockchain
HeySteve: oh, well I am talking more with
a view to my project, still reading on MP's theory
ThickAsThieves: well is that
a feature required within Mircea's theory?
HeySteve: I'm still stuck on this Sybil thing :) if you identify
a puppet troupe, is there
a mechanism to neutralise it beyond information-sharing?
ThickAsThieves: it's certainly not
a typical or, arguably, ideal, economy
HeySteve: how about
a system where ratings are destroyed if the issuer is collectively deemed
a fake or scammer?
ThickAsThieves: yesterday it was already established that
a point system could work as an economy
Naphex: just
a ranking algo, doing its job
ozbot: [Bitcoin-development] Double-spending unconfirmed transactions is
a lot easier than most people real
Naphex: if i would've had more time i would deffinetly do
a ISK/BTC exchange just for fun:D
HeySteve: I thought bitundo resolved as unlikely to work as
a service
ThickAsThieves: who knows what's possible when you add
a new feature that already exists
HeySteve: well, is it possible to accidentally
a block containing
a double spend?
ThickAsThieves: he's basically building
a BETTER BitUndo, i think/....
HeySteve: double spend is going to be
a hard solution to sell
ThickAsThieves: well, bitcoin also happens to already have
a system for preventing double spends
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: imho Bitcoin isn't designed to be used for
a quick purchase of food and drink...but
a system that has convenience + chargebacks can be built on top of Bitcoin quite easily (the way credit cards and PayPal are all essentially built on top of cash)
ThickAsThieves: how you know it's
a good idea? "This may seem
a radical suggestion, but I think it's much less radical than
bounce: so the SEC recognises "National Stock Exchange" (never heard of'em) as
a SRO and now they're going to set rules for Atlas ATS. any rules are good rules, amirite or amirite?
HeySteve: so to apply it, whoever proves an identity is hollow claims
a portion of that identity's rep. workable? just an idea really, kicking it around
fluffypony: HeySteve: then you end up with
a "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes" problem
HeySteve:
a possible solution is moderation
Naphex: even after that hickup, what
a week ago?:)
bounce: bit of
a horse trade, eh
fluffypony: BFL apologist on Reddit: "Many other manufacturers do the same. So my miner was used by BFL for 24 hours before they shipped it to me. Big deal. EDIT: And I've been happy with the BFL hardware I've used. Granted I did have to wait
a long time for it - and although this is endemic in this industry, it's true that their waiting times have been perhaps somewhat worse than some of their competitors."
bounce: IIRC that security book linked earlier starts out with
a discussion of how the military had
a jolly time playing radar cat'n'mouse
Naphex: they nailed me in
a police action with
a granny crossing:(
Naphex: police managed to get my license,
a week ago
mircea_popescu: (they just spotted the radar and replied with
a pulse, making it take its own pulse reply as random scatter and discard the measurement)
mircea_popescu: actually, i recall
a time when romanian police used plain radars on the roads, and you could get electronic invisibility kits
fluffypony: bounce: I worked on an ANPR system for
a parking garage years ago (2003?) to catch tail-gaters
bounce: tangentially, there was
a... german? that came up with radar-absorbing paint. refused to sell to anyone but "the government" but those weren't interested. wonder if such paint would get you out of speeding tickets. though with ANPR that's
a bit moot these days.
mircea_popescu: bounce i wouldn't trust
a tempest-proof case rated as such by
a us institution and/or manufactured by
a us corp
mircea_popescu: artifexd: To be really useful though, it should be run on your own server. << unless you actually lock the thing in
a cage, it's not any safer on some server you own or on some server google owns.
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre: by the way, I'm really disappointed how bitbet posts latest bets to the front page. I sniped this coinlab bet from
a few months , and someone just followed me << now you understand our evil.
kanzure: asciilifeform: could you join ##hplusroadmap sometime? you have
a small fanclub
cazalla: that was only
a playful dig btw :)
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: On
a scale of 1-10 how bored might you imagine myself
gribble: Error: "lazerkitteh" is not
a valid command.
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: I barely find you better than
a cow
gribble: Error: "laserkitteh" is not
a valid command.
BingoBoingo: Fuck it you are all
a bunch of fucking kikes
artifexd: I currently have
a 6 month old GSD.
moiety: my friend writes on antipsychiatry (
a psychiatric nurse)
moiety: its also
a mood lifter so it gets used for people with depression that have problems sleeping (the racing thought thing)
artifexd: "He didn't feel
a smith." <- He didn't feel like
a creator of stuff?
artifexd: BingoBoingo, we seem to both use english as
a source for our vocabulary but you put words together in ways that completely confound me.
artifexd: Hephaestus was
a blacksmith to the gods. He created wonderful and amazing things that were used and appreciated by the most powerful beings in the universe. I'd say he felt pretty proud and satisfied.
BingoBoingo: Split that. He doesn't feel
a smith. He feels the black.
artifexd: So why the comment that lithium is not
a simple mood stabilizer when I wasn't talking about lithium. Unless you meant that as to also say that lamotrigine is also not
a simple mood stabilizer.
moiety: but
a mood stabiliser in itself is
a thing
artifexd: Thus
a more stable mood. So, I called it
a mood stabilizer.
artifexd: Lamotrigine is an anti-bi-polar medicine, right? Being bi-polar means that you tend to go from one extreme mood to the other. Successfully combating that means you in
a not extreme mood.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Full disclosure. I have
a diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder. I can't given reality justify actual meds so i love booze.
moiety: lamotrigine can be used in much smaller amounts for
a wide variety of things as an add-in
artifexd: BingoBoingo, you seem to have the ability to, more than anyone else I know (including mp, maybe not including my wife), make me feel like
a complete idiot.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Lithium is not
a simple mood stabilizer.
artifexd: I mean, ok, it's
a mood stabilizer. But you give me the impression it is so much more.
artifexd: Correction: I didn't really understand
a damn thing.
BingoBoingo: as their own shtick or
a schtick they milk
BingoBoingo: Or eastern bloc people is
a $50 mosin enough for "mice"
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Actually even that won't offer quite
a complete picture of the chemical
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Is that
a problem with wikipedia or with
a popular definition of normally functioning brain
artifexd: Reading the wikipedia article on Lamotrigine doesn't give me any reason to see it as useful for
a normally functioning brain.
BingoBoingo: That just keeps my nutsack from being
a jungle mess like Diablo-D3's
artifexd: What does your secret sauce do (at
a high abstraction level)?
artifexd: I didn't know I was looking for
a secret sauce. I'm still catching up on logs.
artifexd: It beats being carted around in
a shopping cart.
BingoBoingo: Let us spz I have "mice" in my garage. Which SKS variant would require the least fussing as I eliminate the "mice".... Or should I just cheap it out on
a Mosin?
BingoBoingo: So, any eastern bloc people up? I gots
a question.
BingoBoingo: Fuck, is drunk BingoBoingo teaches physiology going to have to be
a thing?
BingoBoingo: I think I've covered excess creatine shreds simple yet beautiful membranes in the kidneys, what does
a lack of such cause?
BingoBoingo: Well, this is how learning happens, by knowing how both the excess an insufficiancy are dangerous and spotting
a useful mean.
cazalla: oh i wouldn't know one way or the other, i was just
a sucker for the marketing
cazalla: i don't think my levels were too excessive, from memory they were in the hundreds, GP said it would be
a concern if it were in the thousands, average being double digits or something, this is
a decade ago, i've long ago become lazy and chubby as
a result
artifexd: Holy crap. It is taking forever to get through today's logs. It looks like today is trying to make up for
a quiet weekend.
BingoBoingo: Well, excess is relative to
a point. The body is actually good at generating its own creatine, even while relatively malnourished in
a few different ways
artifexd: For the record, I'm not
a creatine disciple. It is just an example.
cazalla: I had
a GP tell me to stop using it after bloodwork showed high levels of creatinine in bloodwork, told me to stop lifting as well, didn't go back to that doctor
BingoBoingo: Choline... That on the other hand the body treats in excess as
a blessing because you made
a snapping turtle's nest your bitch
