mod6: deadweasel: ahh.
i suppose that's a good way to go atm.
mod6: what version are you guys liking at the moment?
i've got .7, but its a ways behind yet.
deadweasel: no,
i would not put my keys on ec2 lol.. but thanks for double checking.. :D
mircea_popescu: "
I am still having little problems figuring out the accounting software and using it for proper reporting.
mjr___: dude...
i hate to admit it, but the US military is kinda cool...
mjr___: well, once it is up and running,
i think it'll run on a micro
mod6:
i wish they accepted btc @ aws
deadweasel:
i know. it's been enough so far. bitcoind may crash it tho....
mjr___: yep, so
i leave it as t1.micro till
i need to install something, boost it to m1.medium, then lower it down again
mjr___:
i have one instance,
i just ratchet up processing power if
i need it
mod6: yeah, maybe
i should just get a few instances up there
mod6:
i need to get a farm of bitcoinds
mod6: just a good temp spot to do a tx to, at least thats what
I use it for. my bitcoind is so far behind it grinds my hd to catch it up
mjr___: yeah,
i have bitcoin-qt running on 3 computers
mod6:
i need to run my own bitcoind's again...
mod6: haha, right. if
i would have checked first,
i'd have done a diff addr.
mod6: ThickAsThieves:
i've got one going into blockchain.info too -- so we'll see what happens.
mjr___: shit,
i have to run to reddit and post that bitcoin is hacked
ThickAsThieves:
i have a tx that only shows 2 confs on blockchain.info, yet has cleared into the destination (mtgox) already
mod6: last block
i see is 230145
mjr___: diff change was yesterday
i thouhght
jurov: yes the bet is mine. and
i commented on that innovation rant.
mircea_popescu:
i thouight you didn't agree regulations are there to protect the litytle guy.
mjr___: mircea_popescu: good article, but
i feel like it doesn't account for the "sheepness" of americans, see: stanford experiment
jurov: oh,
i rather put the bet on natural decay premise
MJR__: same in this scenario
I think
MJR__: jurov:
I agree, being scared and being scammed are two completely different things
MJR__: we'll see...
I am not vouching for them. if they put up 1k bitcoins, is trust them up to 1k bitcoins
punkman:
I think they will either run away with the coins, or lose everything due to incompetence
MJR__:
I love these discussions
MJR__: but
I see your point, my point is that she may not want her dad knowing she is showing her juicy bits to everyone
MJR__: (though why
I want to try, my motives, make no sense)
MJR__:
I can't trust her till
I see her naked
MJR__:
I highly doubt the girl
I assumed to be 110 was actually 300
MJR__: but
I can usually tell whether a girl will be gross or hot even with a raincoat on
MJR__:
I trust mircea_popescu
mod6: nothing, really. if mircea_popescu run's
i guess we're screwed, but we can rate him down in the WoT forever.
MJR__:
I see nothing that provides me an FDIC guarantee on an account
MJR__: just said that
I can see a scenario where they deliver as promised
MJR__:
I never said
I'd use them
mircea_popescu: but
i think as you get burned you'll learn for yourself.
jurov: MJR__
i don't get it too. what information do you have that convinced you it's certainly legit?
MJR__: so...
I see scenarios where people provide an honest service, and those who participate, do
MJR__: is DPR in the WoT?
I actually don't know
MJR__: with anonymity,
I could care less whether they rule it "homosexual" or "illegal" or "whatever"
MJR__:
I don't define my morals by the law, and could care less what they decide...as long as it doesn't affect me
MJR__: not that
I know of
MJR__: but
I don't think their intent is to deceive for their own benefit
MJR__:
I think we disagree on the fundamental definition of fraud
mod6: thats the only time
i've gotten scammed
mircea_popescu:
i distinguish too. it's not that they're not trustworthy. it's that they're fraudulent.
mod6: (10:30) < MJR__>
I would say that torbroker seems definitely not fraudulent <<
i read about this. sounds great until they scam out like TorWallet
mircea_popescu: not a suspected ponzi, niot a possible ponzi, it is a ponzi
i nfact.
MJR__:
I guess
I distinguish between fraudulent and trustworthy
MJR__:
I've seen no evidence of fraud
MJR__: but without any evidence of fraud,
I can't call them fraudulent
MJR__:
I would say that torbroker seems definitely not fraudulent
MJR__:
I guess "success" is relative
MJR__: ok,
I don't think their business model looked sustainable
MJR__: they suck,
I would have written them off
MJR__: so
I wouldn't throw out everything, and miss a success
MJR__: but
I think it's been proven that there will be many failures and a few successes
mod6: so
i brewed this cup of coffee an hour ago and forgot about it...
MJR__: and...without knowing who is behind this, or what exactly they are doing and how well,
I would say that
I can picture a scenario where it works
MJR__: or,
I want to do this quietly to not spook the market (obviously not now, too small)
MJR__:
I have inside info
MJR__:
I say it's a market
mircea_popescu:
i can't legally and safely buy whatever pills the sr kids do
MJR__:
I mean of SR specifically
MJR__: what
I would say, and
I don't want to delve into the relative pros and cons, is that DPR and SR, managed to create a market using trust...this is more similar to that
MJR__:
I fail to see how that doesn't make sense
MJR__: well,
I agree, my point was only can you not trust them up to their reserve
MJR__:
I would assume they would only go up to that point
MJR__:
I care up to 1k BTC
mircea_popescu:
i simply moved capital (of trust, of fiat, of w/e_) from irl to btc.
MJR__: you've proven it,
I agree
mircea_popescu: their boat sunk.
i won. my people, who are in btc because they trusted me and
i trusted btc,
mircea_popescu: mpex was built by me, and joined by people who only had any trust in btc because
i said so.
MJR__: am
I missing something?
I trust you more or less implicitly in this space
mircea_popescu:
i don't care how it makes you feel, this isn't about feelings.
