mircea_popescu: in the crooked timber of the english language, no kant was ever translated.
mircea_popescu: i didn't invent the broken!
mircea_popescu: i mean should say "THE BET", as it does now. unchanged, that bit.
kakobrekla: it says the bet now.
kakobrekla: you mean should say the prop
mircea_popescu: where you put the body in, the title should stay "THE BET"
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla https://bitbet.us/new/ << on that page.
mircea_popescu: all they can say is shit about money. thanks to the imbecile yet overvoiced females they got, language doesn't woirk for fucking, for gambling, for nuttin.
kakobrekla: 'add a new bet' went to 'add a new prop' now

punkman: I used "Props" in the cli app :P
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla that i don't care about.

mircea_popescu: the individual quanta of money sent to a prop, were and remain "bets"
mircea_popescu: no, the idea is, the previous meaning of the word "Bet" as in, the page with a description and so forth, is now called prop
mircea_popescu: from henceforthj they're gonna be "bets" and "props"
mircea_popescu: and "ADD A NEW BET " to "ADD A NEW PROP" on https://bitbet.us/new/ pager
mircea_popescu: anyway, since you're looking at it : can you change "new bet" to "new prop" in the header
kakobrekla: some derp keeps selecting 'send back to originating address' and sending from multisig
mircea_popescu: meh, why the fuck are we even supporting that.

kakobrekla: Bitcoin main net block size to increase after 1 June 2016 ; in 13sbmEE4bhc7xbvpkJzxUJA4dc2U1LhMQg ; out 16SmhvkungFVsoTM1xLkm74kAoZERVvhoG
HostFat: so it is sure that I've put it in
HostFat: I'm more on the idea that I didn't put anything than a wrong address
mircea_popescu: but i guess a warning if the field value doesn't verify as an address may be a good idea, when kakobrekla has some time for this.
mircea_popescu: well it's also possible to send bitcoins to address 1qwertyuiop etc. bitbet doesn't have a ready way to know.
HostFat: so is it possible to make new bets without writing any address?
mircea_popescu: this can be readily verified for the entire list visible there, not so much for json because well, json doesn't have the links baked in, being json
mircea_popescu: and it was refunded the next day : https://blockchain.info/address/1LFwKt7tMTWPWn2Sf9qM6n88zNxgnxGRYo
mircea_popescu: it paid the 15 into https://blockchain.info/address/17WY6rscZvSyzDXdKZPm5fAWzKLN2fW39h
mircea_popescu: i mean, if you look at the top bet right now on the list (24-09-2015 Rejected Namibia Vs New Zealand)
HostFat: it's strange that I didn't put in it... I can't remember
HostFat: I'm not sure that I've wrote it
mircea_popescu: well, what was the return address you specified ?
HostFat: eh, I think that it is passed more than a month :)
mircea_popescu: that within a day or two you should have hat the 0.1 or w/e it was refunded.
HostFat: what did you mean by saying this?
HostFat: "rejected props get refunded as it gets around to it"
mircea_popescu: ok, so what's the problem ?
HostFat: maybe I can even find the addresses ...
HostFat: as I remember, they were both of 0.1 BTC
HostFat: "Bitcoin main net block size to increase after 1 June 2016" and "Bitcoin main net block size increased on 1 June 2016"
HostFat: I'm not sure that they are available, but they are visible here

assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 12:49:29; mircea_popescu: for the other thing : plox to not email bomb me ; bitbet's not keeping your bitcoin, rejected props get refunded as it gets around to it ; yeah 1 btc is prolly enough for that purpose ; if https://bitbet.us/bet/786/bitcoin-to-surpass-berkshire-as-an-investment/ and https://bitbet.us/bet/7/bfl-will-deliver-asic-devices-before-march-1st/ being paid out isn't going to convince you i guess nothing will.

mircea_popescu: they just know THE METHODS, completely blind to the substance, protest "d is poorly defined". da fuck difference does it make. not like d can ever be the deciding factor.
mircea_popescu: somehow the concept that if a => b => c => d => f then if (a || b || c || d || f) reduces to if (a) is not directly fucking obvious to this horde of illiterate college graduates.
