mjr___:
mircea_popescu: good article, but i feel like it doesn't account for the "sheepness" of americans, see: stanford experiment
MJR__: I trust
mircea_popescu mod6: nothing, really. if
mircea_popescu run's i guess we're screwed, but we can rate him down in the WoT forever.
MJR__:
mircea_popescu: thanks
MJR__:
mircea_popescu: don't you have to do that when you are leveraged at such a high rate?
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: you really don't look that old in your pictures...
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: it seems you are opposed to a ratings agency for BTC
jurov:
mircea_popescu ah yes that's a point. it's hard to do irl without revealing identity to escrow
jurov:
mircea_popescu: not only escrow is the difference. if such scheme was done for mpex stocks, there isn't that legal liability
gesell:
mircea_popescu: thanks. will look deaper
MJR__:
mircea_popescu: have to research more
MJR__:
mircea_popescu: anonymous on tor network with BTC
MJR__:
mircea_popescu: are we talking about the same thing?
MJR__:
mircea_popescu: did you read about it?
MJR__:
mircea_popescu: what do you think of torbroker?
MJR__:
mircea_popescu: almost nothing is a "ponzi", as it refers to a specific sort of scam. if we are conflating that term with tulip mania or bubble, then most things are...the only difference in them is the probability that they become unpopular
taub:
mircea_popescu: are the bots losses big yet?

Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: btw, basically what you're describing is an attack on SHA256
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: you cant optimize it usefully
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: people have done static analysis on the process already
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: GPU kernels ALREADY only check the first number, H

Ukto:
mircea_popescu: keep in mind, I host and help with ozcoin :)
kakobrekla:
mircea_popescu you want even more cofulzed ppl ? :)
Ukto:
mircea_popescu: all pools did not set 1mb max txn lists
Ukto:
mircea_popescu: no idea. blockchain.info is up to date
Ukto:
mircea_popescu: based on what you said, pools would be idiots to not include sorted by fee.
Ukto:
mircea_popescu: the issue is that none of the pools currently prioritize by tx fee rate
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: yes which is why as youve stated the presence of big players (as yourself) keeps the economy from having a complete collapse. i pose a scenario where the noobs become educated. what occurs when the economy is composed of more competency?
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: you said in your article "The situation in the market was becoming macroeconomically concerning, in the following sense : major holders were done selling, the vast majority of trading action consisting of trades among newcomers brought in by the recent significant press exposure" it seems noobs were about to cause a bubble and if left "unkempt" the herd mentality could cause catostrophic issues to
benkay:
mircea_popescu: i advocate that perspective daily
benkay:

mircea_popescu: worse than that. They want judges to be voted on by a peer network. If the network doesn't like the judge's decision, they can vote another judge. The idea is that people found guilty of crimes will become universally shunned.

mircea_popescu: Simona is at the bank, how do I say this phrase. what is is again, ce froumaousa esti?

mircea_popescu: In America, remember, privacy is 'dirty'.
cads:
mircea_popescu: as long as american public doesn't know to invest in in policies and products that help identity management and security, shit like this will keep happening.
cads:
mircea_popescu: *shrug* I do this when I make a connection that turns a deep problem into a resource. You should have seen me years ago each time I realized some little math connection.
cads:
mircea_popescu: when you realize that this approach takes Coq -> Haskell -> C code, then you see it's about putting Coq in Cunt. Simple. I know ten medium level programmers already dying to be doing this kind of work, even if it was near free.
mircea_popescu: cads>
mircea_popescu: do you have customers in mind for the code review adventure? << sure. pretty much any new service opening.
cads:
mircea_popescu: thanks for that stimulating line of thought, I'm getting some positive feedback from my peers already.

MJR_:
mircea_popescu: this article is great
cads:
mircea_popescu: very dark. That always seems like nothing more than a game to me. I think I'd have to develop the ownership mentality to be a really good master.
cads:
mircea_popescu: they _pay_ for your teaching?
cads:
mircea_popescu: ah, those kinds of slave. And they have so much to learn I can understand why teaching anyone else might be low priority.
cads:
mircea_popescu: I tend to give my best advice without knowing it to friends, lol. And less good advice to my consutancy.
cads:
mircea_popescu: though I would be thrilled to offer that, frankly I would need 5 years of software dev manager work before I could assemble and run such a team, to completely forget about capital.
cads:
mircea_popescu: this is where this community's advice is already coming in handy.
cads:
mircea_popescu: I have already been advised once that for the project to succeed and be safe and beneficial long term.
cads:
mircea_popescu: I would certainly keep you on the anonymous gratitude lisk
cads:
mircea_popescu: I believe that what a student can do greatly increases even by having a teacher that says 'it is possible'. Moral support means philosophical and encouragement. It would mean a great deal to have whatever positive, constructive input you wish to provide. When we provide others with moral support, we do it only so far as it helps our reputation or internal sense of gratification at having helped someone.
cads:
mircea_popescu: sounds like a reasonable protection
cads:
mircea_popescu: aside from moral support and guidance, I will ask questions about how the mpex was implemented.
cads:
mircea_popescu: I am a mathematician, not a coder, so I don't expect this project to succeed without some serious help. I have the whole #haskell community. I have 5 years of haskell. I can use ruby, python, php etc for frontend. I will rework my ideas on attribution and profit share (it may be best to arrange that I profit financially from a successful completion). Will this be a project you can provide moral support to?
cads:
mircea_popescu: this is part of what I consider my "free work". Some people do a finance internship. I will build an exchange.
cads:
mircea_popescu: barring any formal mentorship/student relationship, I would like at least to ask you basic questions over the next few months.
