nubbins`: if 10 people can eat a pizza in 10 minutes, then surely 100 people can eat the same pizza in 1 minute, right?
Jere_Jones: "Nine women can't make a baby in one month"
nubbins`: i thought skinnkavaj was just a random word generator with a bias towards "ltc" ☟︎

pankkake: paid bans are indeed a good feature
pankkake: ThickAsThieves: it's not a fixed interest. it's a part of the trading fees

bitesak: It seems more of a symptom than the real problem
ThickAsThieves: or that a new national healthcare website having problems is a travesty
ThickAsThieves: People act like they never had to deal with a broken website before
kleeck: But you can fill out a paper form and mail it in...
kleeck: It was a chat session.
kakobrekla: so not a call.
kleeck: I guess I'll just have to check back when the US Gov learns how to build a proper website.
kleeck: Here's a better bit:
kakobrekla: how is it a call if its a text
kleeck: Have a good day.
kleeck: I mean. I'm filling in fields on a form...
kleeck: To see if there was a solution to getting through the fucking form.
kleeck: I decided to chat with one of ther operators. A feature that actually worked.
kleeck: Hardly anyone can get through to SEE a quote.
kleeck: What a beautiful mess.
kakobrekla: cause they are a bucket shop
pankkake: however it's interesting to node that wtogami contributes a lot to bitcoin
pankkake: skinnkavaj: could you point out the commits? I have a feeling you don't know how git works
VanCleef: litecoin a new scam by satoshi
skinnkavaj: LTC is used as a testing ground
mircea_popescu: “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
mircea_popescu: perhaps a surprise in degree, but certainly not in kind
asciilifeform: because the latter is in no way a surprise
VanCleef: you wouldn't get a bit upset?
VanCleef: say you spent 100grand on a bus ticket right and instead of the bus driver picking you up he crashes into your living room and starts raping your grandmother
lurker: asciilifeform/mircea_popescu: bitcoin is a bus. do you care what engine it has? (on this, night night / arrevedere)
VanCleef: catching a bus isn't involving yourself with a pyramid scheme
asciilifeform: VanCleef: say you're trying to catch a bus, and run late. you run after it, and jump, don't quite make it, fall into traffic. the end. buses are a scam?
dexX7: hey asciilifeform, do you have a blog or something similar, too? it's not the first time i see you posting something interesting
VanCleef: it is a scam
mircea_popescu: and they had a pretty good solution for the byzantine generals, rtoo.
mircea_popescu: VanCleef you're not even kidding, i get a lot of (mostly, older, mostly white, mostly male, republican types) very indignant at how they knoiw btc to be a scam
VanCleef: bitcoin is a new global scam tho
mircea_popescu: in a sense, the tech creates the ontological limits of the discourse. this is not visible as much in "classical" applications, because somehow it's obvious that your particular abilities to deal with weak nuclear force are involved.
asciilifeform: (and then he'll come back and ask why 51% attack in btc, and not a 67% attack. and it'll be fair.)
lurker: kind of a quorum.
mircea_popescu: in a centralised system, the assumption is that the implementation is friendly to the design, and the cop will do what the fuck the law says he should do.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a very simple example to understand what i mean : suppose the law says nobody may search your house without a warrant.
mircea_popescu: looky here. you decide to make a system. next step, is to decide whether it shall be centralised or decentralised.
mircea_popescu: the 51% attack is a weakness of the particular solution used to implement decentralisation.
lurker: the fact that there is a "51%" problem at all for a system based on trust/demand/decentralization
lurker: If the winkelvoss types start "attacking" the bitcoin market, it will have the effect of a middlecoin on the latest scamcoin.
lurker: However, that means a lot of centralization will have happened.
lurker: mircea_popescu: there might be a way to attack this mathematically but I don't know if there is an exact answer to "how much". The extreme min. would be to have 2 trusted but untrusting miners.
lurker: gimme a min :)
lurker: technically, it's not a spelling mistake since it's a name :P
