mircea_popescu: davout ya, so it'll lock it down at reboot. but the attacker installs
a logger, then you reboot, put your pw in and then it reboots again.
davout: and if you have
a passphrase on your wallet it'll lock it down at reboot
davout: if you remove they key
a reboot is necessary to compromise your machine
davout: yep, they have
a backdoor installed, it's supposed to be for their support, if for whatever reason they need root access to your machine
davout: mircea_popescu: because when an ovh server is installed the first thing to do, like in the first ten seconds you get the server is to remove their backdoor, namely
a couple of ssh keys in /root/.ssh
mircea_popescu: yet in spite of being
a bigger target thery've not been hit yet. something here is wrong.
mircea_popescu: mtgox doesn't seem like they have enough of
a clue to get proper physical security of their servers in place
mircea_popescu: like
a top new york firm lawyer is an asshole and some tribal witch doctor in nigeria are both assholes
davout: mircea_popescu: pic of you wearing

a conversation
gribble: MtGox lag is 0.269184 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.000539441722066 AU. You could have sent

thestringpuller: I just saved

davout: as long as everyone hates xcode humanity still has
a chance
KRS-1: might be able to segfault vi by using vi opening

a long time lookin' at the sun.
inhies: its ok i dont really want to deal with

jborkl_: smoeone at GS had
a new Ferrari to buy
Namworld: [20:23] <mircea_popescu> i have
a completely abstract altchain. nobody mines on it, nobody owns any coins, nobody bothers to read the codebase (which doesn't actually exist in written form anywhere)
mircea_popescu: i have
a completely abstract altchain. nobody mines on it, nobody owns any coins, nobody bothers to read the codebase (which doesn't actually exist in written form anywhere)
mircea_popescu: " Litecoin being as mature as it is makes it hard to join in the fun so let’s start with
a new coin that follows Litecoin’s tradition."
Scrat: dude does
a verbatim copy of litecoin and it gets 50 pages of replies in
a week?
mircea_popescu: i wonder if it actually is the same dood with
a split personality.
mircea_popescu: so there's not one but actually two different doods doing
a bitcoin pixel page + bitcoin gem thing
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: is there
a cabal that are manipulating bitcoin prices?
mircea_popescu: the 2nd is
a 100px wide rendition of the "swiss dinar"/usd rate
mircea_popescu: well... ok, formally : it contains no tables and
a total of 3 figures in 28 pages. the third is
a 100px wide rendition of the "bitcoin supply schedule" in 6 data points.
mircea_popescu: is that we've managed to switch from
a drama powered to
a drama-and-comedy-gold powered model.
Aurigae1: satoshi has
a marcet cap of 7'K as i calculated, gotta check the books tough
Aurigae1: hey guys, what are the most interesting ventures in bitcoin world, i have browsed
a bit on bitcoin stocks but most seem blatantly overvalued on marketcap.
jurov: only that the cat preferred to lay on my notebook's psu instead of near me. such
a bitch
jurov: then i found by chance
a nice hostel in timisoara,
a family house complete with dogs and cat
jurov: and went off next stop, she knew romanian so not
a big problem
Populus: Is there
a way to search for
a wallet ID to know what bets the wallet is involved with?
TomServo: Isn't ripple sort of
a distributed exchange?

Scrat: tiberiusiv is
a made up character
ThickAsThieves: does the Note 2 count as
a tablet? I kinda want one now that my wife has one
Scrat: how the fuck is is
a waste, they are paying off the loan
Scrat: not
a single computer manufacturer has
a successful tablet that consumers want in their hands
MJR_: then he said,
a lot more coming in than going out
ChaangNoi: that is
a large number 25 just to 119 that is bullish
Scrat: if you shuffle
a letter around it translates to vagina
pgp2: right, if pool is closed 3-7 days before determing factor, there is less of
a need to decay to 1
mircea_popescu: well depends on the bet. bitbet has
a 7 to 3 day interval settable iirc
zebedee_: Those that weight until the last moment to bet HUGE on
a near-certain outcome? We can ignore them.
zebedee_: It just weights earlier bets more than linearly. Just
a guess.
mircea_popescu: however we couldn't find
a way that was both intuitive for non-math people to specify and practicable in
a web interface.
pgp2: in getting more people to bet - I think that the complexity is
a barrier to new users...
pgp2: w/e just
a suggestion
pgp2: like maybe display average pool weight - stuff so they can compute something round in their head and not have to resort to
a calculator
pgp2: I know that it's settable, just suggesting
a firm minimum so that EV can never get to far out of whack.
pgp2: yes, but could be
a bit more transparent - i found it confusing at first.
pgp2: just saying that maybe
a decay minimum of 20,000 would be appropriate...
mircea_popescu: the fact that either side is still +EV seems pretty good to me. means if you have
a conviction you can still take
a side.
pgp2: I was surprised, though, at just how BAD the odds can get. Perhaps you should consider
a minimum decay value
mircea_popescu: basically you can make
a little % by financing the odds. so you can pretty much run
a line bookie thing on top of bitbet.
mircea_popescu: anyway. there's incentive for you to do this type of bet (ie,
a marketmaking bet) early in the bet's life.
pgp2: so I worked out
a close appoximation for EV
pgp2: hey mp, why do you prefer to decay the weight (or allow originator to set the decay) for bitbet? I've been doing some analysis and it really creates
a heavy skews favoring early betting.
mircea_popescu: even if it's
a situation of loaded book, they're settled by fixing
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even heard of exchange settling
a 80 bid and 90 ask at 85 ?!
mircea_popescu: what offends me is this "i am
a teenage cock with no experience whatsoever
taub: it's
a stupid suggestion of course
kakobrekla: Starting
a trade site? > I have two domains available to me, so it only makes sense to use one for trading.
Luke-Jr: kakobrekla: bitcoind and p2pool can feed you
a forked template too
Luke-Jr: BFL is apparently doing
a "demo" jalapeno
