mircea_popescu: how does escrow know who to release to ?

mircea_popescu: but escrow must be able to verify transaction dood.

mircea_popescu: and then escrow confesses and you get charged.

mircea_popescu: sure.

mircea_popescu: it will be tied to something.

mircea_popescu: dja understand that part ?

mircea_popescu: the stock you deliver is not anonymous.

mircea_popescu: on the confession of the escrow.

mircea_popescu: and then two years down the road be served with tax fraud, money laundering and rico conspiracy

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: yet i am going to send valuable btc to some anon noob.

mircea_popescu: broker lol

mircea_popescu: so i can currently take a fiart position in any stock, fund, whatever, by calling my browser.

mircea_popescu: seems very slight.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: so what difference do you see ?

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: well i think so. how we check ?

mircea_popescu: i fail to see any difference.

mircea_popescu: how is it completely different. it works on the premise "i'm nobody give me dough".

mircea_popescu: MJR__ completely different ?

mircea_popescu: pass.

mircea_popescu: unknown party offering to steal your money ?

mircea_popescu: same principle applies.

mircea_popescu: MJR__ looky here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168992.msg1762685#msg1762685

mircea_popescu: it made it in the summaries yest or w/e

mircea_popescu: MJR__ i have no idea.

mircea_popescu: KRS1 actually i have.

mircea_popescu: so criptostox/vircurex is about going rogue

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=165766.msg1762710#msg1762710

mircea_popescu: it could happen, and i bet you it'd be faster than you'd think

mircea_popescu: for instance, a hot young thing walking into your office naked takes all of 6 seconds

mircea_popescu: anything can happen real fast or at least faster than you think

mircea_popescu: MJR_ ya well not everything that relies on trust or appreciates in value is a ponzi.

mircea_popescu: bitcoinity dead ?

mircea_popescu: the founder just looted the corp accoutns is all.

mircea_popescu: the first two lines ? yea.

mircea_popescu: ian bakewell and eskimo bob

mircea_popescu: totally.

mircea_popescu: Intrade’s director, Ronald Bernstein, said in a statement that the shortfall resulted from unspecified actions by two other parties, whom he did not name.

mircea_popescu: The online betting Web site Intrade, which gained widespread notice for serving as a predictions platform for elections and events not related to sports, is facing liquidation because of a $700,000 cash shortfall, a development that comes a month after it halted trading and froze its customer accounts.

mircea_popescu: a, i can add more at any time

mircea_popescu: bitcoin did.

mircea_popescu: no sentiment based thing can take 4 days off

mircea_popescu: <MJR__> ThickAsThieves: it is ponzi mode << no it's not.

mircea_popescu: what, not even 500 yet ?

mircea_popescu: ;;ticker

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: $vwap ^oix

mircea_popescu: $avg ^oix

mircea_popescu: ;;goxlag

mircea_popescu: doesn't mean shouldn't be worked on. by us, preferably.

mircea_popescu: i'm aware.

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 im just saying, suppose somebody somehow DOES manage to optimise it.

mircea_popescu: the fact that asicvendors can optimise towards 50%

mircea_popescu: as it will be our first line of warning to hash weakness

mircea_popescu: still, research in this field is very valuable

mircea_popescu: and ?

mircea_popescu: prolly.

mircea_popescu: usure better optimisation wouldn't give you a ~68 ?

mircea_popescu: you only get 10% ?

mircea_popescu: hm

mircea_popescu: you waste power too

mircea_popescu: is exactly what i'm saying. could push up energy effuiciency what, 50%

mircea_popescu: CAN being the key word.

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 i was talking asics

mircea_popescu: it's trivial if you're thinking software. as far as the chip goes, it has to be actually etched on the chip.

mircea_popescu: why would you compute the whole thing ?

mircea_popescu: possibly. enlighten me ?

mircea_popescu: it's mind boggling to me that nobody has so far implemented this.

mircea_popescu: if it didn't... you skip to increasing the nonce.

mircea_popescu: so here's a basic improvement to current asic hardware : you only need to compute the 2nd hash digit if the 1st came out as 0

mircea_popescu: not like they're going anywhere

mircea_popescu: well if it's not you might do it the day after

mircea_popescu: you can open a coinbr.com one

mircea_popescu: yes.

mircea_popescu: strike / (1 + premium) for puts

mircea_popescu: real easy to calc, strike / (1 - premium) for calls

mircea_popescu: yeh

mircea_popescu: 217.8

mircea_popescu: ;;calc 200 / (1 - .082)

mircea_popescu: um

mircea_popescu: ;;calc 200 / (1 - .82)

mircea_popescu: i don't follow.

mircea_popescu: ChaangNo_ you pay .082122etc btc for the dollar value of 1 btc over 200

mircea_popescu: i have no idea.

mircea_popescu: for burning pottery with his burned out pothead friends ?

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 yes. exacrtly.

mircea_popescu: or, for that matter, since about 5400 BC.

mircea_popescu: suprisingly enough, the value of a kiln hasn't moved much in the interval

mircea_popescu: ltc now is 4.x

mircea_popescu: ltc he bought kilns with was 0.02

mircea_popescu: well, he had that genius plan of buying kilns in ltc

mircea_popescu: pretty funnay.

mircea_popescu: eskimo bob loses 99.x% of NAV

mircea_popescu: ha! shush commie.

mircea_popescu: they're all locked in my basement.

mircea_popescu: i like big tits, but i would say Cs count.
