mircea_popescu: i have no choice, obviously.

mircea_popescu: dub yup

mircea_popescu: all it takes is for them to send rounded btc.

mircea_popescu: peopel can now claim infinite btc from me.

mircea_popescu: dude. you created a pump.

mircea_popescu: ...

mircea_popescu: it has to be quite arrowstraight.

mircea_popescu: erring on either side is equally bad.

mircea_popescu: pigeons you forget it's a voluntary system.

mircea_popescu: i guess lol

mircea_popescu: in spite of no qualifications, prior experience etc.

mircea_popescu: pigeons so that you may prove yourselves as actually takeable seriously as judges

mircea_popescu: mod6 blue or red ?

mircea_popescu: i expected the guy to win his 130 btc back.

mircea_popescu: i didn't expect to win dood.

mircea_popescu: i wonder what's gonna be the next one

mircea_popescu: i think this has been discussed to it's demise

mircea_popescu: aaanyways.

mircea_popescu: the fact that all btc goes to the same address means nobody's deposits or withdrawals can be traced.

mircea_popescu: lol why'd anyone bet on that ?

mircea_popescu: are you fucking nuts ? ffs.

mircea_popescu: dub kakobrekla pigeons IT CREATES ANONIMITY

mircea_popescu: lol mkay.

mircea_popescu: yeah, well, i guess this shows why the random person, even if well meaning, can not be a judge.

mircea_popescu: pigeons i didn't "cause" him to send rounded numbers dood.

mircea_popescu: if it weren't stupid it wouldn't end in a court.

mircea_popescu: dub all shit to be settled is stupid

mircea_popescu: 100 times a day.

mircea_popescu: well tell you what, that's no way to judge.

mircea_popescu: rigjht.

mircea_popescu: do you plan to answer or should i just drop it ?

mircea_popescu: pigeons what happens now if you send 100.0 btc, sue, get back 100 + 10 fee + 3 for judging it ? <<< this.

mircea_popescu: you still haven't answered the above question.

mircea_popescu: you know, money isn't soemthing to be redistributed to the needy. or do you ?

mircea_popescu: very odd.

mircea_popescu: the winner gets a fraction of 10 btc = to the % he's allocated.

mircea_popescu: 3 judges to any trial, each gets 3 btc, for a total of 9.

mircea_popescu: two parties to any trial. each contributes 10 btc, for a total of 20.

mircea_popescu: i thought i answered, but again :

mircea_popescu: heh.

mircea_popescu: am i out 3 btc for each 100 you send ?

mircea_popescu: pigeons what happens now if you send 100.0 btc, sue, get back 100 + 10 fee + 3 for judging it ?

mircea_popescu: dub : they could have allocated fractional.

mircea_popescu: dub the idea was to allocate the win neutrally.

mircea_popescu: it's a fucking hole.

mircea_popescu: then getting paid for the process.

mircea_popescu: sueing

mircea_popescu: dub because now any of the judges can start spamming my address with 100 btc payments

mircea_popescu: dub yes, it was a simple case.

mircea_popescu: you're not part of the scotus, just yet. so, you know, little room to thumb nose.

mircea_popescu: something small like whatever can be had.

mircea_popescu: do something small well.

mircea_popescu: " ? what bs is that.

mircea_popescu: "something so small

mircea_popescu: whence all this arrogance anwyay ?

mircea_popescu: and in retrospect that is a wise approach.

mircea_popescu: people won't risk their money on something untried.

mircea_popescu: dub it's unavoidable it will start small.

mircea_popescu: this is btc.

mircea_popescu: baby, socialism is for fiat.

mircea_popescu: ahahahaah

mircea_popescu: jcpham that's pretty much it. you allocated the cost of fucking up to the party that didn't fuck up.

mircea_popescu: it's what's known as an opportunity.

mircea_popescu: no. the reason is so that you people can show you can judge.

mircea_popescu: what did you expect, to start by considering a five million btc case ?

mircea_popescu: and they only chew what their parents bring to them

mircea_popescu: dude. kids are born toothless

mircea_popescu: and i don't push dead sells.

mircea_popescu: if we don't believe either of those it's a dead sell, no matter how hard i push it

mircea_popescu: hard enough to push the concept as it is, even if we were to believe judges are marginally qualified and someqwhat sane

mircea_popescu: if it made an unreasonable decision it likely won't.

mircea_popescu: pigeons if it made a reasonable decision it might have i nthe future had more important stuff brought before it.

mircea_popescu: not entirely sure if that means it'll just die in a corner somewhere, but seems quite likely.

mircea_popescu: basically yay rota, it managed to lock itself out of pretty much the only subject matter anyone thought it worthy of considering

mircea_popescu: next time someone tries that i'll just ignore it and that's the end of that story.

mircea_popescu: since he sued.

mircea_popescu: *shrug*

mircea_popescu: no, actually, i wouldn't have paid the guy.

mircea_popescu: pigeons wait, what's the problem with that exactly ?

mircea_popescu: surely.

mircea_popescu: i was considering relaxing it.

mircea_popescu: it failed to work, so i'm going back to what historically worked very well.

mircea_popescu: i was considering changing this policy, via the rota.

mircea_popescu: dub historically if you sent the wrong amt you're fucked.

mircea_popescu: dub about what ?

mircea_popescu: but i'm not happy with how it works, so i won't do it in the future.

mircea_popescu: i was considering doing that, yes.

mircea_popescu: sadly this was proven true, luckily it was proven true on a modest case of little import.

mircea_popescu: pigeons the reason nobody was using it was (i understand now) the justified fear that people are not equipped to judge.

mircea_popescu: how;s the relation relevant ?

mircea_popescu: that's a certainty.

mircea_popescu: he's absolutely the last guy who sends ANY ammt to mpex and gets crtedited.

mircea_popescu: pigeons i should have credited the dude w/o the hassle ?

mircea_popescu: jcpham cause you get to feel bad about it

mircea_popescu: pigeons yeah well, you sorta misunderstand what this is all for.

mircea_popescu: why lol

mircea_popescu: im not doing anything today.

mircea_popescu: somehow i just never foresaw this one.

mircea_popescu: <mod6> otherwise this just creates way more problems then it solves << i am grasped by sudden terror at the realisation of that, yes.

mircea_popescu: lol
