kakobreklaa: not much
to it, you send a signcrypted message
to socket and get back an answer, just like mpex works
Adlai: please
tell us more about your pgpivorous steroid socket
Adlai: or more precisely... it works, but not as expected by
the optimistic plumber
Adlai: upon further examination it does not seem
to work
Adlai: kakobreklaa: so,
this works entirely
through mt4?
kakobreklaa: lucky i update
the page once every 6 months or so you can look at internet archive for freshest news
mircea_popescu: a spoonful of dung has very big possibility, in
the future.
zanza: cool :) I
think it is a great idea
zanza: none of
them allow you
to keep BTC balance I believe
zanza: but
the main Forex companies are so regulated by government I don't want
to deal with
them
mircea_popescu: it's rare
that noobs manage
to ask questions i actually want
to hear
the answer
to.
zanza: I was reading Bitcointalk, people are looking for Forex
to do with Bitcoin, but
the main issue is
trust
zanza: is business ok for you? something you will continue doing in
the future?
zanza: but you can't
trade currency with BTC right? like Eur/USD
zanza: I assume you use your own money
to do
the forex
zanza: so
the price change doesn't effect you
zanza: ok, so do you balance
the bitcoin storage somehow like I forget
the word
mircea_popescu: " After selling his ISP company in 2007, he began work as a researcher and advocate for digital currencies. He enjoys working as a freelance writer and is editor in chief at Altcoin Press."
totally, 5 year gap in
the mongoloid's cv. spent 2007-2013 staring at a brick.
zanza: or is it not
that risky if price changes
zanza: Kakobrekla, may I ask, does running
the Bit4x site have a lot of risk for you? i mean if prices change
mircea_popescu: seriously ? fucking retard world out
there. "little
timmy dribbles is an early cerealizer and soup eater"
zanza: ok :) cool ill send an email and like
to setup an cct

zanza: bit4x good site? i am looking
to do forex in bitcoin
zanza: yeah, he lists
this as
the IRC channel :o
zanza: has anyone
tried Bit4x?
mircea_popescu: "i read some shit from last year's
trilema and here's my inept respinning of it!"
mircea_popescu: "In my last post, I posited a fictional world, Crypton, where no governments1 back up contracts with
the
threat of force2."
mircea_popescu: "investments"
they're called. mpoe-pr was
totally a smart way
to use money huh.
ben_vulpes: describe
the repo in question and your branching policy if you have such and
the
time
to elaborate upon it.
ben_vulpes: Adlai: do us all a favor, and send
the mailing list an email, yeah?
ben_vulpes: in
the same vein as
the declaration,
the only code
that matters is
that as published by *individuals*, and only ever
those in
the wot.
ben_vulpes: the
thing is best pursued as
the outputs of *authors*, rather
than any sort of "blessed" anything by any sort of "foundation".
chalbersma: When I get a chance
to do some hacking I'll be sure
to.
Adlai: chalbersma (and anybody else who may have looked at
the repo), please make sure
to pull
the non-FF changes
that properly attribute commit authors
kakobrekla: convert on first request
then serve from disk
PeterL: hmm, now
thinking of best way
to do
this ...
mircea_popescu: the next words out of my mouth were, PeterL pls
to cache documents and
PeterL: I wonder if I should be caching a copy of documents so
that it does not have
to do
the conversion for everybody clicking
the link you just posted?
Adlai tries his hand at
the
turd polish
mircea_popescu: main point being
that ever since kant, all sorts of imperatives are left around.

RagnarDanneskjol: not a
tax -
those are fees - paying for a service - one can opt out. point
taken on moral vs legal imperative.. its
the imperative part i'm still struggling with
mircea_popescu: making it a moral imperative rather
than a legal imperative is also important, precisely because
the ancient style of voluntary
taxation is actually superior, on all scores,
to whatever coercitive crap
the socialists are doing
today.
mircea_popescu: so in
this sense, it's politically useful. while i can appreciate
the philosophical argument of "epsilon is still fundamentally different from 0", it doesn't carry as much practical importance as all
that. for one
thing, everyone feels entitled
to
tax you .1%, including any bank moving your money, and so on and so forth. heck,
the miners are
taxing about 0.1%
mircea_popescu: manwhile, if
they subscribe
to
this,
they don't have
to : "i won't pay you any
tax, not for any other reason
than
that ~i already paid~".
mircea_popescu: anyway, arguing against all
tax may be a difficult
tack for your average business
trying
to get on with its business rather
than become noam chomsky.
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol well... you familiar with
the expression "i gave at
the office" ?
RagnarDanneskjol: any sense
to me -especially until
the foundation proves its worth/value
RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu i suppose
the notion of
taxation in any form makes my brain burn -whether it be
through force, state declaration or moral requirement. I am all in favor of
the foundation and will likely contribute more
than .01% of my earnings
to it, but pressing a moral obligation or establishing a rule/precedent for 'taxation' for anyone participating in btc commerce just doesn't make
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> decimation: i suspect
that if you kill
the db and run it again - different yet. << pretty much how
this works yes.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> as i understand, he is
trying
to somehow deal with
the little problem of no one standing up
to unwedge 0.5.3 block loader. << nah, not related.
mircea_popescu: <RagnarDanneskjol> in particular
the words it is established and moral requirement are unconscionable << why ?

they're hosting
the code somewhere?

RagnarDanneskjol: and looking for guys like you with some hands on experience
to contribute
RagnarDanneskjol: well,
the folks here started a movement
to roll back btc core development
to a pristine, decrufted state
chalbersma: What seems
to be
the support problem you speak of?
RagnarDanneskjol: speaking of support, how you been chalbersma - LA
treating you ok
decimation: yeah I was using
the 'ports' db, which is 4.6 I
think

think it wedged in a different spot
