jborkl: Mp, the calls on the site are priced at .1 and the puts are still priced at 1.0, so there is a typo in this month puts
moiety: you like lasers a lot don't you asciilifeform :)
mircea_popescu: the odds of hitting anything 1 km away are about one in a las vegas jackpot!
moiety: ijust cant visualise even getting a pilots face from ground level from that distance
mircea_popescu: whoa look at that! the surface of a hemisphere 1km away is like... 6.3 mn sq meters!
mircea_popescu: jurov sounds to me like a rehash of the child porn thing.
asciilifeform: likewise, slightly-intelligent bureaucrats perhaps wake up at night from the fact that you can untraceably torch just about anything with a fiddybuck IR laser.
asciilifeform: everyone is missing the point. the entire 'problem' is fictional. the fiction, created for a purpose.
jurov: noone gives a fuck about thousands of feet
mircea_popescu: because if you imagine you're hitting a ten yard plane from five thousand feet deep in an ocean of air with a fucking handheld laser you're nuts.
mircea_popescu: you ever tried to shoot a fish ?
mircea_popescu: and i'm not even a pilot.
jurov: you ever got a flash of reflected laser pointer?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform srsly, seems more like a ploy to give your buddy 10k, because i can't for the life of me grok what exact damage can you do to an airplane with a ground laser.
mircea_popescu: underage money, public vomiting and interfacing with a known socket.
gribble: Error: "offal" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: A LAUNDRY LIST OF OFFENSIVE OFFENCES
mircea_popescu: a, that's ok, i don't even use blogger.
moiety: thanks for link, all i got was a sea of lindsay lohan on google. imgur must be overloaded, cant load it yet
jurov: butbutbut...i'm running a full node... helping the network
jurov: wasn't there a faucet?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it contains a warehouse of bugs because it was built by joe out of toothpicks and chewing gum
asciilifeform: i conjecture that bitcoind contains a reliable 'warehouse' of otherwise-harmless bugs like the recent one.
pankkake: jurov: I only have ~10000 left (plus what I'm still mining), so you might get a better price elsewhere
asciilifeform: the ddos crap is a pill against folks like MP, who have declared that they'll stick with ancient versions of bitcoind.
asciilifeform: a persuasive story
asciilifeform: they're not unconstrained actors. they still need a story to explain why the 'official' src is to change.
asciilifeform: a warm hug to the inquisitor reading this.
ozbot: back yard pvc roller coaster with a 12 ft drop - YouTube
asciilifeform: there's a difference between 'amply paid' and $MAXINT
asciilifeform: say, a veteran of UCC.
asciilifeform: but it remains to be seen whether such a thing is possible.
asciilifeform: often wonder when/if we'll see a sane reimplementation of bitcoind.
moiety: it would be a really bad move
moiety: i should really get a wallet huh
mike_c: i tried to think of a good bitbet for Altcoin, but nothing crystallized.
pankkake: it's a disease, start playing, can't stop
deeee: can anyone tell me if http://www.bitbet.com/ is a virus
jurov: (was a running joke sometime last year)
BingoBoingo: moiety: Bitstamp also uses two cans and a string
davout: BingoBoingo: a four way round-robin sounds like some orgy variant, that means there are four players each playing in turn against each of the other ones ?
gribble: Error: 'KRS-One' is not a valid integer.
BingoBoingo: Or a two way tie for that matter
BingoBoingo: If this ends up a 3 way tie I dunno what tie breakers would be yet.
BingoBoingo: davout: It is still continuing. To my knowledge it is a four way round robin. Right now I'm 2-1 having lost to namworld and beat nubbins` and truffles. I think Namworld and truffles are 1-1 and nubbins` is 0-1.
KRS-One: I'll take a rating for being so cool.
mike_c: i don't think there is actually a trophy. but mp put up a prize
nubbins`: wait, there's a trophy?
Mats_cd03: I am a god in the kitchen
davout: jurov: why does a chess tournament over the internet need funding?
jurov: mp funded a tournament, afaik it didn't finish yet
gribble: Error: 'ineededausername' is not a valid integer.
Apocalyptic: TAT on a rating spree
ThickAsThieves: ;;rate mircea_popescu 1 Runs MPEx like a champ, helpful in clearing most any fog.
ThickAsThieves: ;;rate jurov 1 Helped with some share transfers, and helped keep me safe during a Bitfunder scare.
BingoBoingo: deadweasel: A little danger only hurts occasionally...
Mats_cd03: I'm deep frying a turkey in my house atm
nubbins`: black sabbath's first album, primus, and a talking heads live double lp
BingoBoingo: Once shit gets mined, then maybe care more about a txid
benkay: is this really a ddos?
benkay: because most bitcoin-soliciting "securities" are either a) actually scams or b) don't give two shits about the US regulatory landscape.
the20year3: Back in july it seemed a few companies were going to have lawyer-drafted ones, but they never came out, we should have ours out in 10 days, so i'm curious why no one else had them
TomServo: Interesting. Is there a way to prevent spending the dust?
Majjiok: TomServo: that's something that has been happening forever. Its probably a tracking attempt.
TomServo: ThickAsThieves | 1Enjoy1C4bYBr3tN4sMKxvvJDqG8NkdR4Z is sending random dust to me << I'm seeing that as well, a couple from 1Sochi too
ThickAsThieves: an amazing thing happened to me today, i made a controversial comment on a local news website, when they deleted it, i left another comment asking why they deleted my reasonable questions. They restored my original comment and deleted the new one.
Majjiok: what a joke
ThickAsThieves: gox is so bad they are a fork now
ozbot: I just launched a new exchange for Gox BTC <=> Real BTC : Bitcoin
ThickAsThieves: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1xmf8u/i_just_launched_a_new_exchange_for_gox_btc_real/
ThickAsThieves: “As a medium of exchange, unit of account and store of value, it is vastly inferior to fiat currencies.
ThickAsThieves: "At the risk of sounding like a luddite unable to recognize the transformative effects of evolving technologies –– bitcoin looks like an innovation worth limiting exposure to."
Asa9: For a fun time, take LSD and study the Talmud!
HeySteve: I stick my head in a bonfire for a few seconds, all done
HeySteve: haircuts are a waste of time
nubbins`: i haven't shaved my face with a razor in about four years and i'm not about to start again
nubbins`: altho apparently all i need is a sharpening stone
HeySteve: it's a Statement
davout: i'll add ATC to bitcoin-central, just as a troll to litecoiners
jurov: would it stand a chance?
jborkl: did it get listed on a echange?
mike_c: i feel a herbirage coming on.
nubbins`: wait, so it's not a joke anymore?
ThickAsThieves: doesnt need to be a joke or a pump n dump
nubbins`: "I choose ... ATC as well, a school, a place where I can screw up and have a do-over. As someone well aware that he is absolutely not qualified to host yet another Bitcoin exchange or other high-value, high-risk site, ATC seems a fine lab environment to write code around a tiny blockchain, create wallets, sites, services"
nubbins`: who would want to read a thread about altcoin? ;p
mike_c: yes, who would want to see evidence of a valid opposing viewpoint? :)
mike_c: nubbins`: have you seen this guy's post? a counter-argument to altcoin is a bad thing.
nubbins`: aww, just as i was about to ask whether it was officially a pump and dump now
nubbins`: haven't honestly heard of them until just now, but i've been on a big BB kick lately, so i think i'm gonna download some
azi`: i didn't even considered this could be a bet as well
azi`: too lazy to check.. is there a bet on bitbets about gox not returning funds?
ThickAsThieves: ;;later tell herbijudlestoids pools typically give you shares and those lead to coins when someone in the pool solves a block.
nubbins`: it's a lovely day to be ignorant!
cazalla: if you come from wealth, it wouldn't be so bad but imagine getting so lucky to have a couple million $ in coins only to have likely lost it on gox now
KRS1: Gotta have brass balls and a 10ft dick if you go hard into trading.
PsychoticBoy: nobody is a big word
KRS1: the point was it has improved a lot
Namworld: Missed a /join there
KRS1: hah ya i see why the price is where it is..the coin is scarce..once theres more supply its going to drop like a bitch.
