ThickAsThieves: "y keeping the chain code hidden behind the server, we get unlinkability. "

ThickAsThieves: whats wrong is it doesnt inject a new point of failure for the NSA to fuck with

ThickAsThieves: next article: "TAT is the worst merchanty payment processor article critic ever"

ThickAsThieves: i was like no fluffy, no!

ThickAsThieves: really i spoke up, and here, because i care

ThickAsThieves: ;)

ThickAsThieves: well why comment on an article that might change!

ThickAsThieves: lol

ThickAsThieves: we're regulating how to properly take criticism now

ThickAsThieves: with better aim you might hit something

ThickAsThieves: i just think it was a shot from the hip

ThickAsThieves: yeah dont pull it

ThickAsThieves: haha

ThickAsThieves: nor am i sure it's even relevent

ThickAsThieves: princessnell i dont think "priming" people should be a concern of coinbase necessarily

ThickAsThieves: and that's okay

ThickAsThieves: CB serves certain purposes

ThickAsThieves: people can use it how they like

ThickAsThieves: it has no intention

ThickAsThieves: it's a thing

ThickAsThieves: there's no "point" of bitcoin

ThickAsThieves: princessnell, but what's the flipside? a common cure for stupid?

ThickAsThieves: whether the convenience*

ThickAsThieves: with the convenience be speed, false sense of security, or ignorance as bliss

ThickAsThieves: yeah my point wa a customer can make as many sacrfices as they like to protect their own convenieneces

ThickAsThieves: maybe a better argument, would be how merchant use of bitcoin is the problem

ThickAsThieves: also, yknow your Coinbase thinks America is Important section mostly serves as data showing how US is important

ThickAsThieves: users are doing it to themselves

ThickAsThieves: yeah you dont trade FX at the airport moneychanger now do you?

ThickAsThieves: because they form a bitcoin/fiat money-changing service they are the devil?

ThickAsThieves: but never establish their offense

ThickAsThieves: you make that leap

ThickAsThieves: "Purposely breaking the Bitcoin model is not only irresponsible, but it gives us insight into what Coinbase is trying to achieve."

ThickAsThieves: i'm not even sure there are any real offenses of coinbase mentioned in your post

ThickAsThieves: right now you just sound like a bitter customer who didnt get his way

ThickAsThieves: lile"Why I Like BitPay more than Coinbase"

ThickAsThieves: you should set it up differently then

ThickAsThieves: Coinbase has not obligation to be anything to you

ThickAsThieves: Well, mostly, you are projecting all your own desires onto a business

ThickAsThieves: I'm here to bitch about fluffypony's coinbase article

ThickAsThieves: this looks neat http://www.wired.com/2014/05/hack-slash-zelda-game/?mbid=social_fb

ThickAsThieves: i suppose not, assuming they are logged by several trustworthy parties

ThickAsThieves: what if the logs are a lie

ThickAsThieves: or is otherwise difficult to detect

ThickAsThieves: like it happens over a year

ThickAsThieves: what if the compromise is more insidious

ThickAsThieves: do you prefer manual over electric, or just saving money?

ThickAsThieves: etc

ThickAsThieves: what if nanotube dies, gribble gets compromised and farts all over the ratings

ThickAsThieves: HeySteve only to a degree

ThickAsThieves: centralization

ThickAsThieves: this brings me to my next wot area of concern

ThickAsThieves: if gribble decides to lie much more is fucked than the log

ThickAsThieves: so if gribble is doing it, you know it hasnt missed anything

ThickAsThieves: but you csan without tatbot

ThickAsThieves: beause you cant rate without gribble present

ThickAsThieves: it's suboptimal for anyone but gribble to do it

ThickAsThieves: daily or whatever

ThickAsThieves: for people to dl and parse however they like

ThickAsThieves: nanotube, what if you just post a file of the historical log

ThickAsThieves: probably

ThickAsThieves: like the wayback machine

ThickAsThieves: it's seeing if we can practically have access to more info

ThickAsThieves: i wouldnt frame it as a problem per se

ThickAsThieves: basically the WoT is to be thought of as the very incentive itself

ThickAsThieves: the issue is spam

ThickAsThieves: rather than historical

ThickAsThieves: then it becomes a backup system

ThickAsThieves: if db bloat is a real problem, then treat it like backups, 1 yearly, 1 monthly, 1 weekly, 1 daily

ThickAsThieves: typos?

ThickAsThieves: no

ThickAsThieves: "

ThickAsThieves: "Obviously, a criminal justice system that punished only those who volunteered for punishment was unworkable

ThickAsThieves: from the wiki on peine forte et dure:

ThickAsThieves: his name is Dimsler after all

ThickAsThieves: but unlikely

ThickAsThieves: true

ThickAsThieves: who's

ThickAsThieves: it doesnt mean it cant work

ThickAsThieves: discounting as a method is always a poor method of marketing

ThickAsThieves: HeySteve, you couldnt do it anyway

ThickAsThieves: i'll stay ot

ThickAsThieves: yeah

ThickAsThieves: this likely echoes across so many things

ThickAsThieves: (clothes)

ThickAsThieves: let me both hide and distract you with my very body

ThickAsThieves: well it's base deception right

ThickAsThieves: how wearing clothes shapes humanity

ThickAsThieves: that's a whole other (probably great) conversation

ThickAsThieves: then they wont smoke them

ThickAsThieves: one day you invent the coupon, 20 years later you have an economy bent on quantity over quality

ThickAsThieves: it's also a sliper fucking slope

ThickAsThieves: a wot web

ThickAsThieves: i believe we discussed similar ideas in the past

ThickAsThieves: couldnt it just be a separate WoT that had one real WoT account for integration?

ThickAsThieves: ok, now i did mention this metaWoT being handled by an independent party

ThickAsThieves: originally
