mircea_popescu: schism, listen to him go.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is the priviledge of the great to try and raise the crowd ; it is the priviledge of the crowd to prove that this can not be done. very well specified, and working as intended.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on this i must agree. it ~was~ ill-specified
mircea_popescu: it is nice and good to wish to turn some kids into some men. but the wishing does not do the turning, and they all got toys to play with so - there it goes.
mircea_popescu: hanbot i;m no longer going to be using it, no.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of hate or anything fo the sort.
mircea_popescu: oh get the fuck outta here.
asciilifeform: and leads to moar churchez.
asciilifeform: in churches this is called 'schism'
asciilifeform: (what happens when lords a,b,c hate p,q,r,s and wont talk)
mircea_popescu: i'm not however your motherfather, to support you no matter where your head goes.
asciilifeform: i suppose this is yet another thing that we never specified.
mircea_popescu: entitled to whatever the fuck you wish.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform get lost with the bs. i'm going to do your job ? not fucking interested. you wanna talk to him, do, enjoy, who am i to get in the way of idiocy.
asciilifeform: isn't a lord entitled to a formal lowering into pederasty ?
mircea_popescu: anyone wants something to me, say it when i'm around.
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to read further logs, at all, for as long as nubbins` can speak into them.
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck look at that crap. i'm done reading this log, wtf, still with the idiots talking ?
asciilifeform: well my argument was 'in order for bbet paying them X to be bbet's obligation, they oughta HAVE paid back the double.'
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 19:51:30; hanbot: <jurov> and it did not use that to settle later claims << so when actual operator error occurred, mircea_popescu ate it, and your reaction is basically "hey, if he can pay for that, he should pay for this unrelated problem too! let's him pay for everything!", and this amidst weeks of bitching about "bad faith"?
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 18:20:49; asciilifeform: note that i am not arguing that this is a moral obligation
jurov: how do i "use established good faith thusly", again?
hanbot: jurov what you've got is neither a point nor a fact but a contention, and while it may inform your opinion on what your own or other people's actions should be, that is ALL IT CAN DO; it does not in any way grant you the ability to use established good faith thusly.
asciilifeform: we don't live in the water mains
mircea_popescu: they're boring, for one, and actually unlivable, which is the same thing.
mircea_popescu: places like that are few and far between for good reason.
asciilifeform: my whole mission on planet3 is to multiply 'the places like that.'
mircea_popescu: sure, if the world were a spherical chicken, etc.
mircea_popescu: that is a peculiarly convenient place. not all places are like that.
asciilifeform: when done correctly - no. we don't sit here and argue about how the modular exponentiations came out.
mircea_popescu: as if you'd have decided where to eat and where to shit or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: it's fascinating that in one field you'd make EXACTLY the choices you unerstand to be wrong in the other.
mircea_popescu: that doesn't result in better security, but does result in more complex rabinic arguments down the road.
asciilifeform: and yes, i fully expect rabbi to say that ~everything is rabbinical question~ aha.
mircea_popescu: yes, the code could have been more bloated
asciilifeform: because folks wouldn't nail down their axioms.
asciilifeform: fact remains, this whole thing could have been an algorithmic question, but now is rabbinical.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your notion that anything but "religious matters" exists is quaint and endearing, i guess, but of no practical value or import.
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 17:59:46; kakobrekla: from the first paragraph of the bb faq: The beneficiary address is never changed under any circumstances. Please make sure you own it!
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438880 << own it is not in discussion here. "please make sure you aren't using it in any way that may conflict with our future notions of what it may mean" however is nonsense. ☝︎
asciilifeform: as in, the answer is not producible from the axioms.
asciilifeform: and that settlement is now a religious matter.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i argued self into the position that the original system was ill-defined
mircea_popescu: you realise this sort of argument is actually a very highly skilled, expensive sort of job.
mircea_popescu: makes one thing he's wasting his time with it.
mircea_popescu: yes but you can't simply be argued out of a position then come back with it two hours later.
asciilifeform: i;ll take the ball-peen plox
asciilifeform: 10 times!
mircea_popescu: what happened to that ? forgotten so soon ?!
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 18:03:06; asciilifeform: they were PAID.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438892 << you apparently need another hammer fucking five times ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: kakobrekla tells us that it never did.
asciilifeform: did the settlement formally include an originating addr for bbet ?
danielpbarron: the pages for those other bets do not display the correct amounts... no?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: or, rephrase the question, between whom and whom did the debt exist ?
asciilifeform: what, precisely, was promised, that contradicts this, danielpbarron ?
danielpbarron: sure it doesn't fit in with your retro-actively claiming the double payment was actually a partial early payment of other bets..
asciilifeform: so why should it not claim the doublesend as part of what was owed ?
danielpbarron: look at the bet page for a resolved bet. You'll see that BitBet claims how much it has sent and to which address it has been sent. This is sufficient for agreement.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: and if you do not think it needs formalizing, 'we could only all agree if we all saw the light' (WHICH LIGHT?!@!!) - you are gravely mistaken.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: as i understand, it was proposed as to one possible solution to formalizing the promise made by bbet when a bet is made.
danielpbarron: the thing proposed isn't worthwile
asciilifeform: but not if it gets in the way of his main business
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 20:14:39; asciilifeform: if we're subscribing to the 'all coin is fungible' religion, then mixers are a heresy.
davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1439329 <<< this! ☝︎
PeterL: if mp would share mpb txn-fee setting algorithm, then you could say why
asciilifeform: davout: it might be problem, if some clever fella sends the 1MB tx with 0fee...
PeterL: asciilifeform mpb apparently calculated his transaction did not need one, it was wrong
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 19:31:01; jurov: PeterL: these tx would be BIG
jurov: so, what is he going to test next time? and how would i know hw wont decide do to bill it against me?
asciilifeform: reactor test?
jurov: which fact he vehementhly denies and bullshits around, straining MY good will in the process
jurov: hanbot i want first and foremost to clarify the point that mp, by mucking with zerofee tx, left the car unlocked overnight in dark alley
hanbot: jurov if i got plastered and proceeded to crash my car into your house last week and paid for the damages without question, and this week i'm carjacked and hit your house again, you may not use the fact that i happily paid for the former incident as proof that i should pay for the latter, and you may *especially* not attempt to use it as proof while complaining about my "bad faith"
jurov: well, then i utterly don't get it
hanbot: jurov> kakobrekla hanbot is trying to explain to everyone << no dude. i'm trying to point out to YOU that YOU are abusing established good faith.
BingoBoingo: <PeterL> ddoes bitbet need to be a mixer? << It was a cool side effect
danielpbarron: no reason it shouldn't be. the above proposition fixes a non-problem
asciilifeform: if we're subscribing to the 'all coin is fungible' religion, then mixers are a heresy. ☟︎
PeterL: ddoes bitbet need to be a mixer?
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 19:26:54; jurov: alternative mechanic brainstorm with current btc: all bets would be scooped to one address per proposition and winners would pe paid from there exclusively
kakobrekla: too bad i realize this only now, otherwise would have made such error more often.
jurov: well, if you made coding error resulting in 18BTC loss, pushing it to shareholders as "cost of doing business with C machines" would be perfectly fine
kakobrekla: but this clearly no longer is the case in #b-a
kakobrekla: and im trying to explain that i should be paying for everything im liable for and he should be paying for everything he is liable for.
jurov: and how and whys of this is not to be discussed in any shape or form, to avoid upsetting things
jurov: kakobrekla hanbot is trying to explain to everyone that mp, by covering operator error and covering other expenses, earned the moral right to sometimes shift the bill to the shareholders as he deems fit ☟︎
kakobrekla: but if you can go around losing bitcoins as you please without consequences the whole thing is, how do you say, moot
kakobrekla: and im not saying his job was easy - hence did not want to handle deposits from day 1
kakobrekla: and if i delete the bitbet code is mp going to do half the coding?
jurov: yes, fucking gall seriously, sending zerofee tx for ANY reason :)
hanbot: <jurov> and it did not use that to settle later claims << so when actual operator error occurred, mircea_popescu ate it, and your reaction is basically "hey, if he can pay for that, he should pay for this unrelated problem too! let's him pay for everything!", and this amidst weeks of bitching about "bad faith"? ☟︎
nubbins`: at least according to him
nubbins`: and the division of funds exists on paper only
nubbins`: jurov if you'll recall, mp is strictly not doing this
jurov: that every account in the accounting should have its own btc address
nubbins`: send funds to bet addr. funds remain there. winners and house grab are paid from same.
jurov: this can maybe even be abstracted to whole double or triple point accounting
nubbins`: seems sensible to me.
jurov: nubbins`: no, he proposes strictly determined flow of bitcoins through bitbet
