pete_dushenski: it's really not bad here either, all
things considered.
thestringpuller: hanbot: "Lets be nice as possible
to
the girl and maybe she'll
touch me even
though I'm an awkward neck beard who needs more rejection"
thestringpuller: hanbot:
this reminds me of my college where guise didn't know anything about
this socializing
thing.
mircea_popescu: sure. get in
the wot already, you'll regret each wasted day in a few years.
mircea_popescu: but
twenty years later sheer usage has worked
the surfaces of
the
thing into
the exact shape of its meaning.
mircea_popescu: i love how "awesome" has come
to mean "i
think we're not paying
these dudes enough". originally
teh various journalist herdsmen
thought
they were being oh so clever
davout: lol no i just made
that up
davout: mircea_popescu
trinque "hoodie is a committed
team dedicated
to hand-making gorgeous organic sweat shirts, delivered right
to your door by our awesome fixie riders"
trinque: this industry... burn it
to
the ground
trinque: dunno what mossberg's doing now;
the event I'm recalling is... All
Things Digital maybe? Zuck nearly had a panic attack responding
to softball questions.
mircea_popescu: Hoodie enables you
to express yourself
through
technology by making web app development very fast, easy and accessible. It's a complete backend for your ...
trinque: mircea_popescu: I'm sure
there's some shartup out
there going by Hoodie
mircea_popescu: trinque for a minute
there i
thought hoodie is an actual vc "company"
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller obviously. because
the god of reddit hath so ordained
that everything
that can exist is directly accessible with no effort
to anyone, and so...
three second's effort is good enuf
to form any opinion!
mircea_popescu: but in any case, nature abhors a
tension, and it will be resolved.
mircea_popescu: course
the more perceptive magic wands
try
to do
the exact same.
mircea_popescu: generally it ends up
twisted in
the position where
the other kids drive
the wedge of forcing him
to do
things his magic wand disapproves of.
mircea_popescu: davout rich kid is ahead of
the other kids, because his parents are
technically a magic wand. fat kid is behind
the other kids, because fat is unappealing.
this
tension creates very insane sort of behaviours.
hanbot: as
though being
turned down
to your face is something
to be avoided at all absurdities
davout: hanbot: i agree,
the rectangles have merely made shy people more visible where shyness doesn't actually matter
hanbot: mats> dunno
that it has anything
to do with shyness. more like... people have become more alone in spite of glowing rectangles supposedly networking us
together << it has everything
to do with shyness
tho, so long as what
tinder's doing is removing
the basic requirement of walking up
to someone and asking if
they'd like
to drink/dance/fuck/whatever
trinque: the guy who almost had a heart attack
talking
to Walt Mossberg
trinque: their only real claim
to fame being "we sued hoodie CEO"
davout: what's
the fat rich kid syndrome?
davout: poor winklevii,
they got cock-blocked so hard by
the coinbase guys
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's kinda fun
to wake up at 7pm
to a bowlful of internet impotent rage.
mircea_popescu: "I'm certain he has no actual experience with
that
topic, unless you count webcam sessions with
the working ladies over at girls gone bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: much like panacea used
to work, at least back when f.mpif had an investment.
mircea_popescu: scalpl's irrelevant in
this discussion, people don't care about it, people just care "i'm investing with adlai and he keeps
the
thing going"
mircea_popescu: davout: Adlai: so ppl deposit funds with you, you put
them on some exchange (or people push funds
to your exchange account) and whatever p/l scalpl makes is distributed among
them, minus your fee? <<
this sounds
to me more like a classical fund
davout: i already love
this reddit
thread
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin's
thought-leader hangs out with people who pay underage girls for sex?" wut exactly is
this ? i don't hang out with reddit...

the social media networking app. ... (

jurov: it's okay.
today i was marrying hdd and ssd in btrfs raid
Adlai: 'want' is a strong word. i'm suggesting it as a possibility,
to an intrepid [General] Manager
jurov: Adlai you want scalpl
to become one of mpif profit centers?
Adlai: now
that's enough selling for one month
Adlai: another possible incentive: first financier consults gratis
through march 1st
Adlai has started
to
think of pruning in a different manner - rather
than reclaiming hard disk space, 'pruning' just means you can provably flush certain
transactions from various caches. it's a
time/space optimization, not a change of
the glob's outward behavior
BingoBoingo: That
thing builds its own indexed database of a size comparable
to
the block chain.
Adlai: it shouldn't *need* anything beyond
the current full node. if some fancier spv node wants bloom filters, put 0.9.bloom on its box and have it just listen
to
the safe node
BingoBoingo: Adlai: Well, SPV as
the powerrangers say it now
tends
to mean
the Bloom filter derp. If enough space is budgeted for
the nodes
though "address history"
type arrangement like electrum server could work if electrum server did not rival bitcoind itself as a hog.
Adlai: no need
to put more
turds onto
the existing pile... and if you do, how do you pick which one? electrum-server, obelisk, etc?
Adlai: BingoBoingo: sure, put spv servers of your choice on physically separate machines with reasonable rpc access
to
the node
Adlai: which is exactly why spying shouldn't be automated. maybe
there's a situation where a person feels justified listening in on a conversation without explicit permission, but
that call shouldn't be made in advance by a bureaucrat for every single conversation unto eternity
BingoBoingo: Re:
Toy node discussion - Selling point for such a
thing may be "privacy proxy" for Lite wallets.
Apocalyptic: I don't know
there is such a
thing as "ethical spying",
the whole formula must be a joke
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 16:38:23; asciilifeform: Adlai: darcs << as a military man, perhaps you are familiar with systems
that could be automated easily, but aren't? e.g., ru nuke sub controls
Adlai: also, i'm not yet a Serenissima Accreddited™ Investor, and
that kind of coin isn't exactly burning holes in my wallet; so if
this is
to happen before
the next major fiat devaluation...
Adlai: um, forcing ethically worse spying is
the point. cf HGW XX/7

Adlai: it's most idiomatic for
the reputation at risk
to be
that of
the exchange owner
Adlai: let's say davout handles
this for paymium, and it brings
them increasing business. smart exchanges may follow suit.
Adlai: another reason
to work with a financier is
that it opens up
the door for exchange presence in
the wot
Adlai: in case it fell between
the cracks - i'm always interested in 'alpha
testers', especially if
they see it as a service rather
than a freebie
that a sucker on irc will walk
them
through for his own warm fuzzies
Adlai: overhead compared
to having a collaborator handle financing (of both forms), leaving me
to focus on scalpl itself
jurov: overhead compared
to what? structuring/trading bonds?
Adlai: in a sense, it's currently offered as a service for some fee - my
time in dealing with your (not personally anybody in
this channel) bullshit
Adlai: sure, each bond can be a separate contract between a financier and
the exchange
davout: yes, not a problem if
the bonds clearly state
that
Adlai: D.XYZW are distinct, despite being cut from
the same stuff
davout: i see it as a problem in
the sense
that
they're not really fungible
Adlai: is
that a problem, or just an artefact of market segmentation?
davout: you'd
take your fee in
the form of free bonds
davout: the problem i see is
that each (financier, exchange) pair represents basically a different bond
davout: wire
that
to a b-a bot
davout: not saying
this is in any way
the correct way
to structure
that
thing, simply
thinking out loud
Adlai: most fun is just publishing readonly api keys
to
the accounts in
the listing
davout: if you
take a bond out of circulation you refund it as (amount in exchange acct)/100
Adlai: should, assuming
that
the market has access
to
that information;
this would depend on how
transparently
the fund is operated. weekly statements? daily? per-trade?
davout: the bonds should now
trade for 1.07 BTC
davout: we now have 107 BTC in
the exchange account
danielpbarron: Adlai> also, for my own psychological reasons at
this phase in my life, i'd rather get a carpenter's salary << probably not
the best metaphor
Adlai: right. you need an exchange
to scalp, but you don't *need*
to
trade
the bonds
davout: say
there is an account on paymium with 100 BTC in it which i deposited
davout: the exchange where
the bond is
traded
davout: the exchange where scalpl does its
thing
davout: to me
there's
two distinct
things
Adlai: you don't even need
the exchange!
