mats: who knows, maybe one of these three scams will unfuck itself
mircea_popescu: actually, if you're part of the NOT!!1-corruption ring of the usg and have some hope of obtaining serviceable enforcement, it's not a terribru buy.
mircea_popescu: does your middle name happen to be lynn btw ?
mircea_popescu: this curse of modernity, where nobody has any time to eat because everyone gotta cook all the time.

mats: >For you more adventurous types, like me, you can dive into the world of cryptocurrency and diversify your wallet among a sea of alternatives to bitcoin. Dogecoin (internet tipping) and Gaiacoin (e-commerce platform) are two of my favorites.
covertress: since this is your house
covertress waves hi to mircea_pepescu
asciilifeform: i wish i were making this up...
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-07#1516310 << on top of all of this, as if it were not enough: intel's bios crapolade, at least such as have been released or leaked, builds STRICTLY under winblowz. i shit thee not, MB of .bat. ☝︎

The BFX tokens will remain outstanding until redeemed in full by Bitfinex or possibly exchanged—upon the creditor’s request and Bitfinex’s acceptance—for shares
mircea_popescu: or #whatever, i kinda lost count. what's the official uber alles count ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-07#1516329 << 'all hail the wehrmacht! i mean, the bundeswehr!! hail to our modern allieeees..' -- tom lehrer ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the only problem with this approach is that it's utterly unsustainable. by the time "they just want to" that, the sword's all out of the sheath, and i'm way the fuck more likely to buy obama's daughters by the pound than they're to "win the war on x" or w/e the fuck.
asciilifeform: seeeekrit law is analogous to, e.g., 'dao' fork and every other 'unprincipled exception'.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-07 02:30 mircea_popescu: the very notion of secret "law"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-07#1516321 << talmudism. they 'just want to' arbitrarily do whatever, to whomever, like orcs, and the window dressing of 'rule of law' is annoying, more importantly - too expensive to afford nowadays ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and unlike the ukistans, they actually have a shot at fielding something.
mircea_popescu: yeah. what else are they gonna do ? it'll be cheaper to make it in germany than to buy it from trump.
mircea_popescu: their "congress" is a parliament. there's no such thing as "congress". words have meanings, even if the rural colonists never had a chance to visit a school or library.
mats: in other news, .de seems to be building up the bundeswehr ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose the usians are special, they call government "Administration" and the state "government"
mats: whats this now
mircea_popescu: also, the us congress is not a branch of us government.
mircea_popescu: "scientists" with "secret" proof and never-seen "publications" ; bureaucrats with secret "law" ; financiers with "secret" resources that don't exist and "businessmen" in their own minds asking you to "sign their nda" to hear their "idea"
mircea_popescu: wtf is with these people.
asciilifeform: ermined that the secret law allegation is well founded in all three branches, the article argues that ... '
asciilifeform: 'The allegation that the U.S. government is producing secret law has become increasingly common. This article evaluates this claim, examining the available evidence in all three federal branches. In particular, Congress’s governance of national security programs via classified addenda to legislative reports is here given the first focused scholarly treatment, including empirical analysis that shows references in Public Law to these c

BingoBoingo: Anyways, intel would spoil the tears
mircea_popescu: no mp intervention needed, the lulz spindle seems to be working great neh ?
mats: i await mp intel that indicates inside job
shinohai: so buttfinex hacker told me he doesnt have a pgp key -_-
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/time-for-europe-to-repeal-the-us-backed-aml-crap/ being the fiat equivalent.

shinohai kicks thestringpuller
asciilifeform: mats: just wait until 'consumer comes to expect' and 1st lawsuit over the thing ~failing~ to get to hospital on time.
asciilifeform: it is useful information and i see 0 reason to piss it away.
asciilifeform: phuctorings that take place at same time, in same run of werker, get reported at same time.
asciilifeform: jurov: this is not a solution, i refuse to scramble the order
mats: thing's not fully autonomous, what if he lost consciousness due to low oxygen, and road conditions required human judgment?
mats: where's the fucking part where this guy (and others - who sleep at the wheel, play jenga, w/e) is found guilty of reckless endangerment?
jurov: asciilifeform: guess the rss implementation uses updated tag as primary key, and recent 2 entries have exactly same timestamp
mats: some idiot experiences a pulmonary event, relies on autopilot to travel ~20mi to hospital, and this is lauded as teh future! disabled people can drive places now! etc
mats: the tesla hype is real

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-06#1516222 << 2 different ips there. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: on the contrary, bitbet made most of its money in retrospect by being canary in mine.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-06 18:54 asciilifeform: think bbet was doomed by 'gotta send 2 btc tx, one - player's, to play, one - bbet's, to pay bet' ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-06#1516215 << i have no idea who thinks this, but they'd be rather clueless and in any case wrong. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as green correctly points out, "most of the pointless wank and useless crud in all stem fields were actually just unhappy accidents: the shit that stuck to the floor, walls and all crevices while imbeciles at MIT tried to feed themselves."
mircea_popescu: also none of the nonsense of "encrypt face down cards" via elgamal is needed.
mircea_popescu: the major problem in poker isn't "fair dealing", it's debotting it. but i have a ready solution for this problem too, and im persuaded it's complete. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: https://archive.is/Y4kxt << Aedes albopictus distribution for the record
mircea_popescu: and hashes the result. this is the "rng". at end of day publishes day's salt concatenations for each played hand.
mircea_popescu: anyway. decentralized don't enter into it. the way you play is that you have a dealer bot, which selects a string composed as a) "the hash of the latest known block whose height is divisible be 117 and is not in the last 117 found blocks" + b) a server generated salt for the day + c) a player generated salt, to be changed any time a player feels like. then for any dealt hand, the server concatenates a + b + c for each player
BingoBoingo: primedice bought forum ads, dooglus was the ad
a111: Logged on 2016-08-06 18:37 asciilifeform: mats: did you (or anybody else...) ever come up with a 'crypto poker using btc' scheme, at all, that relies on protocol (vs promise) ?
BingoBoingo: just-dice... primedice was other thing
mircea_popescu: dooglus contributed a lot of solid research to this ; the way he handed it in primedice with the salts and later copied by all the others works fine.
mircea_popescu: not that expensive to make it provably fair though.
danielpbarron: the poker thing need not be "provably fair" it only needs to have WoT integration -- not unlike Eulora
shinohai: if i had capital to start a pr0n biz i'd call it that xD
BingoBoingo hopes phf unveils S.EX and kind wonders why no one's chosen that ticker yet
