http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-03-2016#1424891 < this is not so. it was not bitbet experience (for example i was not even aware of any of it) and publishing your interpretation on qntra does not assert absolute truth, it just tells everyone who reads it what you think.
PeterL:

<nubbins`> if i send the light company $100 cash in the mail because i think my employer is behind on their bills, but it turns out they weren't and everything was just fine, i wouldn't expect my employer to give my $100 back.

nubbins`:
<+PeterL>should he ask the bettors to refund the money?
<<< probably not.
trinque: "I unilaterally decided to loan the company X amount emergency funds to keep the lights on."

nubbins`:
<+asciilifeform>nubbins`: it is difficult to have a useful discussion in the midst of 'your mother eats electric eeels. -- no YOUR mother. .. etc'
<< agreed, which is why i found hanbot's vulgarity very disheartening; she only jumped into the conversation to insult and vexate. mp's bringing my wife into it was a ludicrous response to me accusing him of fraud. my wife's not in the picture.
nubbins`:
<+danielpbarron>it's not clear that Mircea is wrong. It's not clear kako agrees he's wrong.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> what out-of-wot advice is this? and why send the wire twice instead of calling your drinking buddies who /use the same bank/ to ask if /their/ wires are in the habit of simply not showing up and what they've done in the past in the circumstances

☟︎ ben_vulpes: [02:12:30] [mircea_popescu] so then, upon advice, i sent it separately. and it went through within half hour. AFTER WHICH somehow the txn was magically found, and… this time it wasn't dropped from mempool ? what changed since last week, mempool is even bigger now.
<< most underexamined line in this whole saga to date.

<+asciilifeform>davout: if it did not satisfy relaying rules, WHERE DID IT COME FROM on day x !?
<< once the backlog was cleared, it satisfied relaying rules once again?
mircea_popescu: davout> asciilifeform: a transaction being relayed does not imply it will be mined by anyone
<< especially a 0fee one.
dooglus: davout: curious why you'd say "that's a weird distribution
<< when mining block N, I have my pick of all the transactions broadcast while block N-1 was the newest block. some of those will have decent fees. transactions broadcast while block N-10 was the newest block that haven't already been mined are probably not very attractive to mine now. so why is block N including so many transactions created 10 blocks ago and so few created 1 block ag
