nubbins`: but this is off-topic
nubbins`: as to why, i find his worldview repulsive
asciilifeform: nubbins`: why piece of shit? i think he's a snore, and he - likely thinks i am a snore. but why the mega-rage, l0l
thestringpuller: all this before civil war II
nubbins`: asciilifeform if we're calling spades spades, i think he's a piece of shit, but one has to wonder what weight MY opinion holds in such matters
asciilifeform: but it does not move the car.
nubbins`: asciilifeform agreed which is why i think pete annoys me so much
asciilifeform: yes, it goes with the engine.
asciilifeform: it is like the vroom of a racing engine
nubbins`: put some wet food on the other side of the hoop and dole out a few head scratches
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i dun think he needs the parroting for anything
nubbins`: asciilifeform i'll venture a guess that it's the same way mp trains derps to stick around and parrot the party line
PeterL: figure out which way they are running, jump in front and say "this way, boys!"?
asciilifeform: or, similar example, do you know how famous sov. circus trainer kuklachev trained housecats to perform ?
nubbins`: asciilifeform i waited until adulthood to start raising hell, nobody listens to kids. but i smell a story coming
thestringpuller: a clockwork orange this is not
asciilifeform: nubbins`: when you were a boy, didja ever lead a band of other boys to raise hell ?
nubbins`: didn't even have to pay bingo to stick around, just bought him a domain and some text-only
trinque: I don't get these shots at mod6; he wrote up a fine guide to building a gentoo...
nubbins`: yep. and a quick "you got it buddy" to mod6 and "you're really good at typing things up, you're wasting your talents at the loading bay" to dpb and you've got two more sets of undies smelling like mp's dick
nubbins`: and felt unfit to lead.
nubbins`: or mod6, by all accounts a great guy, head of TRB, almost quit in the first week because he couldn't get a gentoo install up and running.
PeterL: are Canadians allowed to talk about each other so impolitely?
nubbins`: take the situation of poor bitcoinpete: his underwear probably smells like mp's dick
nubbins`: but by and large, this place is an intellectual wasteland
nubbins`: i could count the individuals i'd consider intellectual peers on one hand
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2016 22:35:15; asciilifeform: except i admit that i only expected 'this' to happen after cia murdered mircea_popescu and took his coin...
nubbins`: PeterL i don't know how much of the logs you've read, but it's mostly derps
PeterL: and if we blindly follow him then he knows we are all derps?
nubbins`: oh, that type of drill, not a power tool
PeterL: asciilifeform a scammer drill? to see if we call out an negrate scammers in a timely fasion?
nubbins`: PeterL only if you own 25% of the shares
PeterL: If I send a txn to the addresses listed on a bitbet page, will that expense be put on the bitbet books too?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: it is possible that mircea_popescu is holding a drill.
nubbins`: TMSR~ can't afford to harbour scammers or fraudsters
nubbins`: i guess we should put his lordship to a vote in a few days if he hasn't resolved things satisfactorily
PeterL: asciilifeform I was suprised when he decided to stick it onto bitbet's books
asciilifeform: but i have nfi, i'm not his mother, cannot answer why he does things! l0l!
nubbins`: especially considering the shitstorm that this egregious fraud has blown up
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i fully expected that mircea_popescu would cover the 17 from the coin stuck in his toenails
nubbins`: maybe he can defraud bitbet investors too
PeterL: maybe mircea_popescu can tell us how his own implementation works?
nubbins`: if there are any omissions or corrections to be made to my summation above, now would be the time
asciilifeform: nubbins`: incidentally i have nfi what mpb does, i have never seen it and don't expect to
BingoBoingo: 'replace by fee' USED to be how double spends were typically resolved by miner implementations
nubbins`: so we can explain why A1 was held for so long before being mined, and we can explain why A2-A4 vanished, and we can explain why mp thought that sending B was a good idea, but we now see that it was simply not a good idea because mp did not understand the payment protocol as well as he thought he did, and now we've got a 17 btc fraudulent expense on bitbet's ledger
PeterL: if trb sees A1 and A2, which does it keep?
kakobrekla: 'replace by fee' is a new thing that has not been ported
asciilifeform: PeterL: what's that ?
nubbins`: and a desire to not propagate shit tx's handily explains why A1 was retained but not relayed by nodes, agreed?
PeterL: does trb do replace by fee?
asciilifeform: [02:07:54] [mircea_popescu] ALL these ~happened~ to somehow drop out of mempools ? << from the document << later we learn that prb DROPS what it deems 'doublespend' SOLELY based on chronology.
nubbins`: kakobrekla seems like you've got a good understanding of the likelihood of each explanation
nubbins`: anyone who supports this gibberish shames themselves
nubbins`: seriously. "the stupidest tx ever was slow to propagate, therefore all payouts are suspended"
kakobrekla: i dont think this will be a problem. notice the 'double-check' guy from comments.
nubbins`: "what are they sniffing?"
nubbins`: "i have to push my own tx because bitbet can't afford a tx fee"
nubbins`: most of the users will cry "this place is fucked"
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: it sounds reasonable. except that i suspect that most of the users will cry, 'how do i transmit a tx?111 waaah'
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: from the statement ?
nubbins`: asciilifeform the "what instead" has been stated to be "use a fee of 9 cents" more than once.
kakobrekla: asciilifeform see the agreed upon solution for future bets payouts
davout: asciilifeform: try harder?
nubbins`: this is like ordering pizza from 2 different shops, eating the one that shows up first, and acting surprised when you see both charged to your credit card
nubbins`: a thousand times this
kakobrekla: asciilifeform certainly not sign more parallel transactions to same effect and broadcast them like nothing happened
nubbins`: so A1 and A2 were bad judgment calls, we can all agree there
asciilifeform: who will drop the tx on the floor
asciilifeform: but forgot that the network is now run by aggressive imbeciles
asciilifeform: seems to me like he did a reasonable thing, which is to transmit a doublspend with moar fee
davout: asciilifeform: it's the "manage to get mined" that's the important bit here
PeterL: nubbins`> go to qntra article and see how long it takes for someone to even MENTION the obvious cheapo explanation << if you look at the timestamps, it was just a couple hours before we started complaining, which was pretty much as soon as I got around to reading the article in question
asciilifeform: davout: 'A second transaction was broadcast, spending the same inputs as A1, including a fee of 0.0001'
jurov: asciilifeform: why was he ever sending zerofee tx?
nubbins`: ^ true
davout: asciilifeform: no, the tx he sent was not conflicting
nubbins`: so, where do we go from here? we have an mpex listing where the owner's introduced fraudulent expenses and the other owner won't sign the financial statement. the only party who has recourse of any sort is mpex, but of course the conflict of interest involved will preclude mpex from resolving the situation to honest satisfaction
davout: asciilifeform: do a double spend, manage to get a conflicting tx mined
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: mircea_popescu sent the first tx. noticed that it has apparently vanished from the fact of the earth. what is the thing to do in that case ?
thestringpuller: nubbins`: "Why is Bush so convinced Iraq has weapons of mass destruction?" Negrodamus: "Because he has the receipt."
kakobrekla: asciilifeform there never was.
asciilifeform: rather than 'miner cartel' model.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's observations best fit the 'there is no longer a reliable network' model.
nubbins`: asciilifeform bush didn't have the smoking gun but he still went to iraq
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i ~really~, very much, hate the miners. but i do not have the smoking gun that tells us that they were at fault.
nubbins`: by the time it's raised, you can barely read it for the noise about "bitcoin has been forked"
nubbins`: go to qntra article and see how long it takes for someone to even MENTION the obvious cheapo explanation
davout: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-03-2016#1425061 ☝︎
asciilifeform: PeterL: i have nfi how mircea_popescu concluded that miners were involved. the only clue i have is that it has recently come out that the top cn miners have formed a derp committee of some kind, apparently for purposes of negotiated separate peace with the enemy
PeterL: kakobrekla is there an estimated timeframe for when bet payouts will resume?
nubbins`: and "we" jumped to the conclusion because there's a not-insignificant amount of worry in the ecosystem right now about chinese monopoly, so it's an easy lie to sell
nubbins`: it's so tiny so people won't stop betting.
kakobrekla: davout i dont have that information.
PeterL: and by the way, how did we jump to the conclusion that the collusion is from "Chinese miners"? (And why is the disclaimer on bitbet so tiny and discreet?)
davout: kakobrekla: pls to do so, i'm looking through my nodes logs to see if and when i heard about them
kakobrekla: Thats what they said for Jesus.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Might take a while...
nubbins`: any bets on whether that'll happen?
nubbins`: so if mp defrauds bitbet, mpex has the OPTION of liquidating it.
