gribble: (seen [<channel>] <nick>) -- Returns the last time <nick> was seen and what <nick> was last seen saying. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent on the channel itself. <nick> may contain * as
a wildcard.
TomServo: signed with
a weak key, last I saw.
benkay: (someone start
a cell company!)
ThickAsThieves: but basically att not being in the wor, makes them
a scammer
mircea_popescu: already good software is gpg based as
a matter of course. so what if microsoft doesn't want to sign ?
mircea_popescu: so now trust is created that's not wot-based. so in
a sense old people are attacking the wot through being... stupid.
mircea_popescu: the problem here is that people interact with an entity calling itself at&t and using
a non-gribble method of authing.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves lol i didn't click. i guess he's
a slow reader.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony
a naming system can be secure, memorable and global
mircea_popescu: (and the fact good names aren't being squatted to fuck amazes me, and it is
a testament to the fundamental economic ineptitude of geeks)
mircea_popescu: i'm making urmom
a better gazelle than the wot ever was, bish.
mircea_popescu: the trouble is that wot is
a horrible name, as it's not OF TRUST in the obvious sense, but in the other one. and it'd seem to discuss the actual web, rather than its notation.
ThickAsThieves: whether you want to twist
a positive rating into being
a punishment seems to me, another thing
ThickAsThieves: no definition of punishment i know would include
a positive rating
ThickAsThieves: so maybe i reword to, any organized effort could benefit from
a properly implemented economy
mircea_popescu: anyway,
a "gazette" is this ancient term of "where all the matters of record are published"
mircea_popescu: so i put
a note on
a guy's "officer notesd" place that hey, you took all our x runes wtf
mircea_popescu: i CREATED IT because we have an open guild bank where anyone can take out
a stack, but you're not supposed to take out the WHOLE stack of things you can use 1-2 of
ThickAsThieves: i wonder if this could be applied to mmporg guilds, maybe your Rift guild is missing
a punishment gazette
mircea_popescu: there's been
a trend to economize welfare, and that just muddies up everything
ThickAsThieves: "It is important to bear in mind however that Bitcoin is merely
a tool, that what we’re truly interested in is creating - for the first time in perhaps as long as two centuries - an actual, working economy"
mircea_popescu: and generally, it's
a knife. it allows to cleave reality and the problems of reality into easier to manage bits.
mircea_popescu:
a corporation is like
a personified feud. it can even lay dormant.
mircea_popescu:
a more absolute gift of power could scarcely be devised. "even in hell, they with this staff wield power" sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is the best thing you could possibly be doing with your time, not last on the list because even should it put you in prison, it will probably make you
a ruler there, too.
mircea_popescu: and from unrelated news : "Nothing makes you more powerful inside the joint than
a strong grounding in currency arbitrage."
mircea_popescu: fairness is not
a guarantee of equal resuts, even if you promise equal effort.
mircea_popescu:
a fair contest is
a contest which does not distinguish between participants.
ThickAsThieves: maybe rephrased, would it be preferred to require currency in
a barter
mircea_popescu: what you prefer viewing things as tho is not
a point of astronomy
mircea_popescu: so if it doesn't satisfy #2, it's not
a medium of exchange
davout:
a medium of exchange is just another economic good, one that is particularly liquid though
ThickAsThieves: thinking out loud, if something is not
a medium of exchange,
ozbot:

a logo could be
a sword of Damocles with
a halo at the bottom
jborkl: Ok, I read the website facts for Maidsafe and I feel dumb now. And if they are going to make
a really bad pun they need
a logo to go with it that makes you laugh
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: TONS, take
a trip to South Africa and stop by, I'll provide the alcohol
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: very big q indeed. is being
a "motion artist" like someone who takes jogs outside?
bitcoinpete: just had one of the guys in our meet-up group ask about maidsafe too. of course,
a day after i blogged about it. just like he asked about bitgo
a day after i blogged about that. noticing
a pattern here
mircea_popescu: Your search - @bitcoinpete @maidsafe @MSCProtocol any points you make get lost in what feels like
a ... - did not match any documents.
fluffypony: "@bitcoinpete @maidsafe @MSCProtocol any points you make get lost in what feels like
a trashy review of
a summer movie. Be more constructive."
jborkl: I am going to sell my Mercedes and Bentley <-- what
a asshole
mircea_popescu: they can get away with the pretense that they raise
a lot of money.
jborkl: Jesus christ, what
a fucking retard
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: every time I see
a video with him linked to on /r/bitcoin it just seems like
a link to
a TED talk, and I can't be bothered to watch TED talks
fluffypony: am I the only person who hasn't seen him speak / heard him interviewed / watched him in
a video?
bitcoinpete: afaik andreas is fuckin broke and just scrapes by as
a conference gypsy
fluffypony: in other words, operators may start off with good intentions, but when they suddenly realise they're sitting on
a large pot of gold, are they still trustworthy?
fluffypony: so I pointed out that lending
a buddy 200k Dogecoin today is worth
a whopping $120, but Dogecoin's market cap is tiny ($44 mil as opposed to $6.2 bil), and would he trust his buddy to not run with those coins if they were worth $17 000?
fluffypony: I think it goes back to
a discussion I had with someone the other day - he was espousing the values of the Dogecoin community, and how nice everyone is, and they don't have "scams like Bitcoin has"
ThickAsThieves: so, it would go that you might be better off investing in owning
a dice site privately, than being
a public investor via shares or
a shared pot
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: so then what about
a hot-wallet, lost roll amounts are sent to
a cold-wallet, and the cold wallet is multi-sig, with
a board of investors holding keys and the site operator holding keys. payouts happen once every 24 hours instead of immediately.
davout throws
a branch of celery to ThickAsThieves to calm his anger
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: surely the solution should be that all rolls are on
a single address, no change addresses?
Apocalyptic: or you end up with
a thing that is neither one nor the other
