dust-otc: my widget said 20.0 due to rounding and I got excited
Bowjob: I imagine my bitcoins fighting a war right now. They need to take prisoners in order to become stronger
mircea_popescu: "i am short 20 Bitcoins to buy one of the second batch. Okay. I could go satoshidice: either i have enough or nothing"
mircea_popescu: i wonder how much cheaper the huge aluminum box was than a normal closer fitting one
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/wZ1hZlM.jpg
assbot: I don't give a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
Bowjob: I saw 19.96 flash
smickles: um, no, I think it has made a prediction about a shortterm top
Namworld: I'll buy X.IDIFF.DEC for 0.03
StarenseN: I where about the enter the market within the hour but now just break to see what will happen
mircea_popescu: there;s a parser involved i guess. anyway.
mircea_popescu: <Bugpowder> nobody talks about the variance when S.DICE outperforms << i do lol
Bugpowder: I didn't realize that 1Di6ux came back from the dead!
Bugpowder: There is the question of what happens if he 'runs out' of coins. Can he get more? I think that some of the whale addresses only started betting when the other ones ran out of coins.
Namworld: I wouldn't include the whale in the valuation of S.DICE
Namworld: I prefer seeing lots of smaller gamblers growth.
Bugpowder: I think .01 is likely soon.
Bugpowder: >7000 bids over 19, >30000 bids over 18, 13000 bids below 20. I think tonight is the night
jcpham: i love variance
smickles: if you ain't co.ukian, i'm sure they could put you in touch with your country's similar organization
smickles: heh, i'm sure it take longer than that, but lowering taxes ought to be popular enough
jborkl: Wait, I don't see the point of what he is doing. If you need to exchange there is GOX and if someone needs a loan they just go scam off the lending forum right?
mircea_popescu: i don't think he knows what he's doing.
dub: I don't think he's in the US
jcpham: i rememeber all his spew on the foum after pirate ditched
jcpham: no way i'm giving that guy money
mircea_popescu: i thought it was from j a ok
dub: boss: I've got the shits, bye
jcpham: i would be mining
dub: I'd be out the door quick smart
midnightmagic: dub: So.. I guess.. that is some religion-level context elimination
mircea_popescu: yeah but i suspect the chinese are about a degree of magnitude more competent with infiltration
smickles: i don't hold that against them tho
smickles: mircea_popescu: the only thing i have against gingers is that there is more humor revolving around gingers than mutt-american
midnightmagic: I disagree with the beating statement!
midnightmagic: I agree!
midnightmagic: I see a problem with the notion that white people are blameless and that civilising people requires brutal murderous oppression.
dub: unfortunately I think the reality is that our species needs quite a bit of die-back and the natural place for this to occur is the third world
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i wonder how they pronounce salem in khosa
mircea_popescu: dub i thought that was more like congo
smickles: i want to belive
smickles: i suspect the (language used in)zimbabwe to english transation which results in goblin, starts with ginger
midnightmagic: i'm gonna have to back slowly away from this conversation now..
midnightmagic: I love that guy. He looks like the Architect from the Matrix.
midnightmagic: I would offer that people who would believe gmaxwell's partial multisig signatures means he owned millions of dollars maybe aren't the sort of people you want to be getting into bed in business with anyway.
mircea_popescu: all im saying is i wouldn't participate inter alia because i have not any way of knowing this isn't the case.
midnightmagic: Either you or I could go prove to a naive party that we own all the bticoins in the world right now.
midnightmagic: oh, sorry, I know what you mean.
midnightmagic: (i just wanted to register my objection early)
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Hey man that's a false analogy. But if you want to rhetorically accept the "identity collapse" thing, fine. Go on then and make your point, I'll listen.
midnightmagic: smickles: I'm not really sure how it could except by tipping someone over 50%. pirate claimed on many occasions that gpumax often had > 50% of the hashrate but he was being responsible wiht it.
mircea_popescu: dude, if i say "a car will move items around the surface of the earth" a discussion of combustion engines is out of place
dub: smickles: idk, I thought it was the laundry aspect
approxprime: dub: i thought gmax didn't like gpumax b/c it gave financial incentive to undermine the mineing network
dub: midnightmagic: I thought gmaxwell was generally against coin mixing, he railled aganst gpumax for that reason unless I am forgetful
midnightmagic: I interpret the ~= to mean that some addresses overlap or can be related to the addresses prior, but that's what I say can't be related unless the owner of the outputs of the transactions signs a non-multisig transaction that requires A' *and* A addresses together in a single-output txn, *and* we assume that people would automatically steal from one another if they could.
midnightmagic: hrm. i'd have to think about it some more to agree with your statement. there's a large hand-wavey part wrapped up in the identity collapse.
midnightmagic: because I've already done it with him a bunch of times, so lemme go check and see whether it's the same thing.
midnightmagic: so he couldn't go to buffett and prove he owns the coins without lying to him and claiming that "that one txn right there proves i could have controlled x money" because he can't forge the signature of the address from the bigspender.
mircea_popescu: not meaning by this he is a scammer, i still think he's an idiot
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic im just saying, if i were a scammer trying to part some fiat ivnestors from their money, i'd do the exact thing he's doing.
smickles: mircea_popescu: I believe it's more accurate to say that control of coins goes from one txid to another, rather than one address to another. the fact that it's known which address is associated with wich txid at this time is incidental
midnightmagic: if I deposit 500,000 bitcoin to you, what happens if you decide to keep it?
midnightmagic: hrm. maybe I've misapprehended how you operate MPEX. I've never logged in.
mircea_popescu: smickles what do you mean ? i dun follow.
mircea_popescu: what do i know ? that it's really 34jk5hty895ytg9g4t's btc ?
mircea_popescu: i know nothing at all. you can create a gpg sig right now as 34jk5hty895ytg9g4t
mircea_popescu: at any rate i wasn't impressed.
mircea_popescu: i dunno about the 14 yo girl.
mircea_popescu: smickles i doubt statistics can help, because the sample is selected
mircea_popescu: smickles well if we just kidnap test subjects off the street its unethical and if i let you bring your own you'll cheat.
smickles: mircea_popescu: if women fuck better in highheels, I'm willing to bet that it's just a (possibly localized) social phenomenon
mircea_popescu: i mean, when it crapped out it only dropped 90%
DeadWeasel: when I can afford my own atoll in the south pacific, i'll run my country on BTC.
mircea_popescu: i'd imagine at a bare minimum there should be 50% coverage which would put the volume in the 100k range per month or somrthing
jurov: yes, i experimentally sold 20 at 0.89
mircea_popescu: i think like 20 sold or something, but that's really nothing.
mircea_popescu: i dun see it.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter i dunno if i'd buy at 7.5mn. what, diff doubles in the next six weeks ?
jurov: we'll see how it goes after we open it. just that i think that buying future at 0.075 , while expected cover may be 0.0095 or maybe more isn't so attractive
mircea_popescu: o o i see lol
mircea_popescu: markedathome i guess by now pretty much everything's somewhat connected to mpex
markedathome: mircea_popescu: i just thought it was funny that I could get those words out of the way the addresses were arranged.
mircea_popescu: markedathome I seriously have played a grand total of maybe 3 btc on s.dice.
jurov: i'm going to improve idiff futures ;)
Bugpowder: I made some idiffs!
Bugpowder: hmmm maybe I will make some
jurov: yes, there is no way to know what the cover is. well, i got an idea how to fix it
jurov: so i diluted it in fact
jurov: okay. but overall i'm correct?
Bugpowder: I sold some
Bugpowder: i didn't
Bugpowder: I've had a long discussion wiht mp about this
Bugpowder: i sold the same ones
jurov: so these i made only up to 9 M
Bugpowder: I have sold some
jurov: oh Bugpowder you weren;t around when i discussed the mpex idiffs ?
jurov: yeah, rally right after i sold some...but i can't wait longer
DeadWeasel: i'm pretty sure he's transporting them as 12" crystal meth dildos to get past customs.
markedathome: clearly, dooglus is trying to out mircea_popescu as the mystery player, why else can I get "MPEX pay SDICE with SMPOE" out of the addresses listed in #782
