gesell: yeah and extrapolate back to where bitcoin depends on a PRNG

gesell: im also assuming a PRNG is involved (/dev/random, etc)

gesell: i think you just find the people doing it and pay them a little to do it as a collective. you guide them in how to give enough information publicly but have more privately. for example dougles could put half the detail he does on his analysis of sdice and still provide huge value publicly and the rest privately

gesell: and im sure those with more money in the market would pay a lot more

gesell: smickles: i'd expect it to cover options, dirivitives, cover some hot topics ("why 21 without huge influx of new users?", with data) and have code to pwn blockchain analysis. I'd pay a BTC a month at the moment

gesell: mircea_popescu: yeah feels like a lot of day traders around (or that type of fervant observation)

gesell: smickles: a spreadsheet?

gesell: someone should just grab googles and others from the forum and cuddle them for a while, until eventually having such a service

gesell: im just assuming there will be a day im not so active with bct and might only monitor once a month

gesell: where do you anounce, on blog (with a certain category i can monitor) or here, or twitter, or?

gesell: no, i wasnt. left the scene for a while until dec last year

gesell: mircea_popescu: yeah that is the means for exploring signing up with you. im just curious if investors can get a headsup when this starts, or at least when its going to happen. rather than just refreshing the mpex website all the time

gesell: mircea_popescu: is any part of the process and application for ipos public, posted as news, by you or them? or is it pretty much until it happens. i mean, even knowing when a new company will release ipos there might be a nice way to get an alert

gesell: no i meant is there a delay from the values showing up here and showing up on the rss

gesell: mircea_popescu: how often does the mpex RSS update. not showing a lot of recent trades

gesell: (the bible talks about a 1000 year reign of peace and tranquility. I wonder if in the end we will realize this is dependent on the dificulting of factoring 'n' into p and q)

gesell: author of colored coin argues for using bitcoin blockchain is better than deploying a new chain due to security of pooled hashrate. other options given are subject to the long tail of adoption. also, still going through it, appears to focus on tie tokens to assets. the asset of a widgetA isnt so important to me as the reputation of the source (rx addr) for widgetA. So I have to contemplate how to use colored coin for reputation. but ignorin

gesell: anyone have a good reference on the history of GLBSE and its closure?

gesell: i dont want to use use the or a blockchain as a database but also use it as the means for discovery of services, as well as the store and discovery for reputation

gesell: i know but somehow i think if you kill the special widget blockchain front end (widgetblockchain.info) it would take a while to adjust.

gesell: kakobreklaa: a seperate blockchain for widget selling?

gesell: the advantage of using The blockchain as apposed to a new one is that you can use blockchain.info for all sorts of purposes (finding WidgedA sellers, checking reputation) and its a little harder to kill blockchain.info which has plenty of legal use, than specialwidgetsellerblockchain.info. So you could basically do silkroad without Tor

gesell: a general reputation api/protocol on the block chain letting widget providers pick their reputation provider would be wicked

gesell: you can embed a message in the 1btc send

gesell: could someone use the blockchain to sell widgets locally? That is, I sell two types of widgests: WidgetA for 1btc and WidgetB for 2btc. You want to buy WidgetA. You send 1btc to 1WidgetA1234560abcdeff rx with a message embedded where where you want it shipped. I mean, couldnt this be a service to kill silkroad?

gesell: avalon could have just added a month delay perhaps

gesell: perhaps the last ponzi (you mean pirate) but one could still game perception to swing price (if they a legitimate, non ponzi share of perceptional influance)

gesell: wait that is close to home. how is it like a 16yo that knows hax?

gesell: it is attractive that a lot of the regulatory weight in fiat is taken out of the picture

gesell: mircea_popescu: is that a pattern you think would repeat in 4 years at the next halving?

gesell: mircea_popescu: so to me there is a lot of new activity from current and established users putting more of the weight into the play

gesell: mircea_popescu: ooh, rss. thanks. that's a bit easier

gesell: anyone know a website with the ticker price in the title of the page, so that i can just open a tab and look at the tab instead of opening pages or spreadsheets?

gesell: mircea_popescu: is there a log of assbot logs of bits on this channel? just curious how one would build and analyze historical data on their own

gesell: mircea_popescu: btw do you block access to your blog from certain IP's? when im on from home (which is via a proxy at all times, out of my control) I cant get to your blog. but now, i can (in a different location atm)
