BingoBoingo: At least for a while bringing up the assbot - target path is probably productive to see if people wanting voice can already !up themselves
TestingUnoDosTre: He submitted a bunch of false cc-ids in attempt to reverse engineer the ID to number conversion that att used
Namworld: Let me make up a quote for weev: "I am Troll, c?"
TestingUnoDosTre: From article" I am here to shift the market cap of publicly traded companies downward by publicizing problems in their technical infrastructure. Very few people manage to do this. In fact, besides the times I’ve done so, I can only think of a handful of other incidents."
TestingUnoDosTre: This http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/15/weev-talks-about-life-in-prison-and-his-plans-to-open-a-hedge-fund-tro-llc/
TestingUnoDosTre: Thought they might be a last bastion in th shitstorm which is the US legal sphere
bounce: IIRC he'd sucked up a bunch of apple device IDs from at&t's leaky activation site
bounce: could try and dig through that timeline a bit
bounce: apparently there's a "TRO LLC IRC" somewhere
phf: github doesn't even bother to inform you that there's a signature on the tag, but signed tags seem like a good place to put contracts
bounce was idly speculating on stuffing all law in a SCM, with public diffs. and signed commits by the head of state.
artifexd: ;;later tell bitcoinpete You may want to increase the left margin on your ul,ol under media="all". As it is currently, it prevents your footnote labels from showing more than a single digit.
wywialm: i'll be going, thanks benkay for a nice chat
wywialm: what they should do is to do as-neutral-as-possible QE. Think about it, if you have a bank, and demand for your notes skyrockets, you issue more, not less, right?
wywialm: and it is not equally distributed throughout eurozone, south is deflating for a couple of years, -1.5% i believe
Apocalyptic: a good thing
wywialm: currently, i'd bet something between 'largely' and 'sometimes'. Have a look at EU, they are heading for deflation, despite their official inflation targets, same in Poland
benkay: solely, largely, a lot of the time, whatever
wywialm: bitcoinpete, i'm not a defender of current (fiscal and monetary) arrangements
wywialm: benkay, true, but this is a source of rigidity which will impact the real economy
wywialm: and third, most important probably, are network coordination failures. On a reasonably populated market, if the nominal demand (or trade volume) falls, the first enterpreneur to lower prices would not suffer losses due to demand inelasticity
TestingUnoDosTre: For example if they own a large amount of btc and want to protect against a big short term drop in value
benkay: bitcoin will bring a rigor to business unseen for centuries.
TestingUnoDosTre: You just have to structure a debt contract with half a brain
wywialm: agreed, but this effect can be really harmful in a much more developed economy, with credit, net of contracts, many competitors on a single markets
thestringpuller: get a bouncer :P
benkay: wywialm: it's money as a unit account for the bitcoin holders that matter.
wywialm: not necessarily - after such 'pop' there are usually calls that there was a bubble, but not every falling asset was a bubble previously
wywialm: probably, let's leave bitcoin for now, as it's not money as a unit of account for majority of bitcoinholders
wywialm: bitcoinpete, let's follow jurov and imagine that somehow demand for money/bitcoin sharply increases. Would it be harmful to general trade conditions? That is, would it generate a recession? If not, why?
Apocalyptic: SHA-256 will resist so long? // even if a full 1 block colision is found, it won't affect mining
TestingUnoDosTre: A la shitcoins, but better
pankkake: it's a slippery slope
jurov: it would be just a simple rule that miner can take 5 million blocks old unspent output(s).
bitcoinpete: wywialm: so can a barrel of oil. so can a chicken. so...
numerisTrade: and bitcoins will reach a point when they will be decreasing, due to losses and so on
jurov: "they’re incinerating compatibility with upstream with a plasma torch" lol
ozbot: OpenBSD has started a massive strip-down and cleanup of OpenSSL | Lobsters
jurov: https://lobste.rs/s/3utipo/openbsd_has_started_a_massive_strip-down_and_cleanup_of_openssl
bitcoinpete: numerisTrade: i imagine that a currency whose supply is decreasing over time wouldn't make for a very good currency. an example of this would be the picassos in the world today. over time, they're lost to fires, floods, irreparable damage, etc. as such, no one defines picassos as currency just as no one sane defines bitcoin as money
wywialm: Apocalyptic, no, it's a standard definition, contrary to late Mises and Rothbard, and avoids much confusion
TestingUnoDosTre: Not with a truly fungible asset
bitcoinpete: TestingUnoDosTre: totally. it's the first deterministically scarce asset with a decreasing inflation rate
bitcoinpete: no doubt that a lot of people will be screwed out of pensions and other lofty promises, also little doubt that faux egalitarianism will fall by the wayside
TestingUnoDosTre: For the record, bitcoin is inflating at a rapidly decreasing, defined rate
wywialm: bitcoinpete, some time ago i tried to discuss your deflation artice with you, do you have a while?
TestingUnoDosTre: Help a brotha out. I'm making my living off your website
kakobrekla: has this been a regular occurance?
kakobrekla: right now im in the hotel bar, sipping a double jack.
bitcoinpete: kakobrekla: drink a few ursus' and eat a few mititei for us. it's a deadly combo
fluffypony: I should actually write a Dogecoin-denominated trading site and only allow companies that are clearly a joke
kakobrekla: TestingUnoDosTre, here is a hint : http://mpex.co/
TestingUnoDosTre: My apologies... gotta settle down a little
Duffer1: you're getting a refund?
TestingUnoDosTre: I submitted a bet that had 1 confirmation prior to bitstamp going to 525and they're trying to refund
kakobrekla: you got a few months of lag?
TestingUnoDosTre: I had a bet submitted with 1 confirmation before event occured, and they're trying to refund me
TestingUnoDosTre: I just got robbed on a bet close to the timeline
TestingUnoDosTre: Hey i need to speak with a bitbet mod ☟︎
mjr_: I used to have a script that would authenticate me when i sign in
gribble: Error: "idet" is not a valid command.
mjr_: a url?
mjr_: its a pastebin, right?
bounce: a choice of auth, eauth, bcauth
artifexd: You can do all that in a pm channel with gribble.
gribble: Error: "authenticate" is not a valid command.
gribble: The bot responds when you start a line with the ! character. A good starting point for exploring the bot is the !facts command. You can also visit the bot's website for a list of help topics and documentation: http://gribble.sourceforge.net/
mjr_: hold on a sec, i will identify
rithm is just curious what the actual real world consequences of a bitcointalk.org scammer tag are
rithm: is theymos a scammer?
rithm: does a scammer tag on the forum have nay relevance at all?
TestingUnoDosTre: Doesn't look like he has a scammer tag any more
TestingUnoDosTre: I'm just beginning to read the mathew n Wright forum. Anyone want to give me a summary of the ending first?
TestingUnoDosTre: Assembly is such a wise ass. Its like yah dude I know the deal, I'm in here eryday
dub: oh, then write it on a hotdog and throw it up the hallway that was his ass
dub: visit him in jail with a message stowed in your anus
mircea_popescu: okay so just in case... anyone got a current contact for weev ?
fluffypony: jurov: yes, but I didn't have Trilema in my feeds a year ago
BingoBoingo fills out a support ticket and awaits bitcoin prices that can support a 1U server rack from endowment funds.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: maybe he has a Google alert notification for his name?
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: It took mere hours http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2013/09/24/hope-you-had-a-happy-blood-day/#comment-17
BingoBoingo: You'd be surprised how quickly Mircea found my blog once I'd opened it and it had been months since I had been a regular in -assets
fluffypony: from a year ago
BingoBoingo: "They will not indict you because you are a bad operator. They will indict you because you are there. I overturned my verdict only because I am an asshole. "
BingoBoingo: "Weev: One can abandon their citizenship in a tyranny for more reasonable shores. That’s about it. “Three Felonies a Day” is a great book explaining the commonplace reality of capricious indictments."
ozbot: Weev Talks About Life In Prison And His Plans To Open A Hedge Fund, TRO LLC | TechCrunch
BingoBoingo: http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/15/weev-talks-about-life-in-prison-and-his-plans-to-open-a-hedge-fund-tro-llc/
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Like MNW? In his case there is no way to know that he ever had a stash.
fluffypony: I wonder if guys like that hoard their stash or end up living the high life for a few months before being broke?
HeySteve: yeah I'd say any kind of decentralised commerce needs such a system
HeySteve: WoT is a deep system, very interesting
fluffypony: yeah that was a mess
BingoBoingo: Tradefortress was a horrible social engineering problem
BingoBoingo: Reputation loans have always been a problem.
fluffypony: but there's literally no other reason to trust them than they have a couple of months of not screwing anyone over
fluffypony: on BTCJam I see a LOT of people with "reputation" loans
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: Well I plan to remove/expire this loaned trust on Thursday unless we can find something to risk and establish a longer term lending of trust over.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Well coming and asking is the ony way a WoT works.
fluffypony: if the newcomer ends up being a scammer, for instance
BingoBoingo: But on the matter of +m being a thing, isn't the person with L1 trust offering a chance at L2 trust taking a substantial risk
