adlai: technically speaking, wouldn't this be simplest accomplished by having you provide me with api keys to an account on, say, btce, and us both publishing a readonly key to that account?
mircea_popescu: well, if you make a f.mpif pc and report your trades, say daily, and submit monthly sum reports, i dunno, 10 ? ☟︎
adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=28-01-2015#994882 << i've been running it on N btc of my own money, how many are you willing to risk? ☝︎
decimation: re: meritwashing < I think the way this plays out in actual us business is that you are friends with someone who controls bezzlars
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> adlai: why does it have to test on actual live-fire btc anyway? << so he can make a buck ? ☟︎
kakobrekla: i forgot, do you use buttstamp too? if so i have sort of an exploit for their so called trading engine
adlai is placing offers in the book, not market orders
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ofc | Used in Instant Messaging for Of Course (Of Fucking Course if in all caps). " John121: u going to the movie tomorrow?" "Alex33: ofc". by MisterEgo October 09 , ...
kakobrekla: <adlai> depends what's at hand < anyway not helping, ofc you will take whats at hand. if not there, not even the army can take.
decimation: adlai: yes, one would have to document each lot traded
kakobrekla: isnt it 'not thief, caught' in murica ?
adlai: decimation: i'm not a lawyer, but i gather from conversations with them that it's a matter of *precisely* documenting the net p/l and paying tax on that
asciilifeform: decimation: 'not caught, not thief'
decimation: I wouldn't mind trying to run a trade bot but it would involve much tax paperwork in the us
asciilifeform: then what is the hidden gotcha in testing with imaginary objects ?
kakobrekla: this works for fx better than btc
asciilifeform: adlai: let me guess, your machine relies on actually moving the market ?
adlai: sure, this is possible to implement. that doesn't mean the answers are relevant.
asciilifeform: adlai: when i laboured under the delusion that i could write a useful trading automaton, i found it simple enough to 'trade' with imaginary btc, gold, etc.
adlai: because anything else is roughly equivalent to changetip
asciilifeform: adlai: why does it have to test on actual live-fire btc anyway?
kakobrekla: adlai curious, whats the min youd take?
mod6: not sure exactly what to be looking for... but turning over a few 'stones' might find something.
mod6: seems to be: 2c2314f353 VerifySignature failed ... invalid block=0000000000000a40136b height=168001 ☟︎
mod6: perhaps what i can do here, is take the copy of the blockchain that i tried to sync day-before yesterday (copied @ ~160000 blocks) and use gdb to try to see what's going on with that that block
adlai: i'd like to test scalpl on larger amounts of btc than i have at my personal disposal.
assbot: Logged on 28-01-2015 05:29:24; mircea_popescu: adlai so that's how it works. you get some btc, publish your trades, etc.
adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-01-2015#994929 << what about this cream ☝︎

ben_vulpes closes the tab

mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2015/02/banca-ditalia-ends-amlkyc-for-bitcoin-businesses-opts-out-of-economic-death/ << lol ok this one i heart.
mircea_popescu: nono i mean the site specifically.
asciilifeform: i dislike the sugar-coated 'nice' pastebins for this reason
asciilifeform: how pastebin crept back in << rough substitute for the shortwave station we don't have
cazalla: i vaguely remember reading about barbers being surgeons on trilema before hence reasoning for my guess
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> cazalla: re: pastebin submissions, can we please use email? google snatches these up quick and pastebin gets the credit for the content << oops sorry bout that. < dpaste btw
mircea_popescu: o by the way. anyone know who were the first gynecologists ?

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> let's ask BingoBoingo how sport aficionados feel re: 'fixed' matches in sports where this is not customary << Actual fraud. One the other hand horrifically mismatched team (happens a lot in college where small schools will get paid by larger schools to play a game the larger school anticipates winning) can be loads of fun. Especially when the school paid to play wins.
assbot: I am a No Limits No Taboo slave looking to be owned by men, women or a couple. I - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1DzrqhY )
mircea_popescu: anyway, so obama gets 100 rich kids together to inquire about soft capital confiscation. turns out the kids don't mind.
mircea_popescu: The well-heeled group seemed receptive. “I think it’s fantastic,” said Patrick Gage, a 19-year-old heir to the multibillion-dollar Carlson hotel and hospitality fortune. “I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Mr. Gage is an industry leader in enforcing measures to combat trafficking and involuntary prostitution.
assbot: Dear Guardian : stop being retarded. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1zMMnrc )
mircea_popescu: jurov: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-pirate-bay-is-an-fbi-honeypot << that usg agitprop runs this about tpb after a year of studiously ignoring http://trilema.com/2013/dear-guardian-stop-being-retarded/ seems the best street cred for current day tpb.
mircea_popescu: in ro in the 90s*
mircea_popescu: o, that they did in the 90s too. local dialup isp almost always being "three or four of the cooler kids in that neighbourhood"
cazalla: mircea_popescu: phillipsjk you know you might be the first guy of your kind i ever met. so, you're on some isp's forum because... it's your isp ? and i suppose on the mazda forum if/when driving a mazda and so on ? <<< popular thing in australia, or at least was back in 90s, early 2000s
mircea_popescu: then answer to "i'm looking to rent" is "best value for money i got is this, best all around property is this, which you want ?"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> phillipsjk: the birds here - not very enthusiastically. hence the infestation << New birds essentially. Also Replacing favorable trees with less so. Liberal amounts of poisoin too.
ben_vulpes: granted, the first parts downright stupid
mircea_popescu: if oyu don't know what the center of the town is or that you live in a shithole, you should go back to highschool.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: natural questions for their business models, neh?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, that works
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (why? ask them) << usg looking for zero days as well :)
mircea_popescu: say i gpg to your key next time ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla: re: pastebin submissions, can we please use email? google snatches these up quick and pastebin gets the credit for the content << oops sorry bout that.
asciilifeform: but naturally this creates million zombies with 'gambler's disease' who dig, dig, dig
asciilifeform: there is a tradition of actually throwing genuine 0days in there.
asciilifeform: http://cryptome.org/2015/02/gchq-lovely-horse-intercept-15-0204.pdf << uk gov digs through, e.g., 'pastebin', in search of 0days.
mircea_popescu: somehow this are questions now.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes specifically, they wanted to know "what zones im interested in" and "what my budget is".

pete_dushenski: i'm heading out tho. cheers!
pete_dushenski: i get the picture
asciilifeform not a scholar of the subject
pete_dushenski: similar to who wants to be a millionaire? or the same ?
asciilifeform: and this caused a national scandal
asciilifeform: or, famously, the first television 'game show' - '64,000 dollar question' (usa) was famously discovered, in its day, to be fixed
pete_dushenski: the difference is the injustice wrought upon the multitudes
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: which they do anyways so it can't be about them
pete_dushenski: where officials are largely on the sidelines and players call their own penalties
asciilifeform: that's the effect meritwash has on the participants (the 'extras' in the film, naturally. the pre-ordained winners - laugh all the way to the bank.)
pete_dushenski: are there such sports ?
asciilifeform: let's ask BingoBoingo how sport aficionados feel re: 'fixed' matches in sports where this is not customary
pete_dushenski: (for the kids with no shot)
pete_dushenski: just to cope
pete_dushenski: it would seem to necessitate an eventual divorce from reality
asciilifeform: !s tournament market
asciilifeform: and thus warping entire civilization in various crippling ways
asciilifeform: inheritance doesn't create a gigantic circus where millions of fools think they have a shot at being an heir
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: as i tried to explain to mircea_popescu, 'merit wash' is a rather distinct animal from ordinary inheritance
pete_dushenski: (and many others too, i'm sure)
asciilifeform: the most pathetic aspect is when civilians become afflicted with the delusion of 'i can haz some too'
pete_dushenski: isn't this a roman thing even?
pete_dushenski: re-appropriate some wealth, give to kids
asciilifeform: (not necessarily direct relation - son in law, etc. will do in a pinch. as there's plenty of printed money to go around)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: but more generally, applies to the sv vc crapolade. i.e. why does mr schmuck get 100 megabezzlars for schmuckatron? because he's the son/nephew/catamite of one of the vultures who feasted on the corpse of fairchild semi, at&t (pre-breakup), etc.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: it's quite the little game those kids play
phillipsjk decides to stop talking about things he knows little about.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: philanthropists article << precisely them
asciilifeform: if this were not so, there'd be rather few trees left here.
phillipsjk: some trees will tolerate one or two defoliations per season as well.
asciilifeform: phillipsjk: the birds here - not very enthusiastically. hence the infestation
phillipsjk: I think birds eat them.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: the part of the world where i live is plagued with, among other insects, a type of caterpillar that devours trees wholesale. every spring, gigantic hives (?) - nests with webbing - appear, and when they're full, you can almost see them pulsate, pulsate << Used to be bigger problem here. Then they were largely defeated
kakobrekla: ;;later tell mircea_popescu jurov http://files.bitcoin-assets.com/wot/trustlist.txt
