mircea_popescu: gernika it seems
to me
the wot is already generating it's own equilibrium, not clear
to me what you mean by "nash equilibrium based exchange"
gernika: mircea_popescu Would a nash equilibrium based exchange in
THAT case be of use? Or would it nullify
the donation
to
the wot?
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 in fairness, i dun
think it's sluttiness, i
think its simple use. you should see
the chicks here, it rained
two days ago, it was like... i dunno, 18 instead of 23 celsisus ? COATS! shivering! everyone destroyed omg it's so cold.
mircea_popescu: because in practical
terms,
they DO have no ratings, for
that level.
mats_cd03: getting laid is more important
than warmth.
mircea_popescu: gernika
the situation being exactly equivalent
to when
they first joined
the wot, had no ratings.
mircea_popescu: gernika exaclty, and in wot-terms he makes a
trust donation
to
the wot and
to his partner.
gernika: mircea_popescu So in order for someone
to get rated for a more valuable interaction
than
they have ever participated in before, someone else always needs
to
take a risk, correct?
mats_cd03: i was in a few residential neighborhoods close-ish
to somerville, so... kids
mats_cd03: things overheard last night: 'we should find some MIT guys,
they're, like, going
to rule
the world. but, really!'
mircea_popescu: they HAVE
TO BE frauds, pure and simple,
there's no logical alternative.
mircea_popescu: which is why people who pretend
to
trade but aren't in
the wot, and ESPECIALLY people who pretend
to raise capital/issue equity but have no experience whatsoever are suspect.
mats_cd03: altho
there were plenty of freshmen walking around
mircea_popescu: gernika well, one could put
the
time in
to build himself and steal some, but
the idea is
that he wouldn't really manage
to steal more
than what not stealing is worth on a discouinted basis for him.
gernika: mircea_popescu Ah ok. Got it. Didn't
think about how people would evaluate
the WoT differently for different magnitudes of
transactions. It actually does help with
the long con problem. So one could do 50 1 btw
transactions,
then steal
the last btc, but
that's about all. Yes I've read what-the-wot...
assbot: BtcAlpha.com F.MPIF
Tracker estimated NAV per share: 0.00021818 B (Total: 477.11 B). Delta: -0.38 B. Last
trade for F.MPIF on MPEX was at 0.000195 BTC [-]
assbot: What
the WoT is for, how it works and how
to use it. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: basically you're saying "if people weren't using
the wot how could
their actions not impact
the wot'. well...
they already don't.
chetty: gernika, what does wot have
to do with
that? everyday common
trust question
mircea_popescu: gernika
the case you're proposing is already out of scope, because
the wot is intended
to be used with middle
transactions. so if alice
trades 100 btc a month for
two years,
trusting alice with 200 in one go is okay.
trusting her with 5k is absurd,
gernika: cheat someone in a large
transaction?
gernika: mircea_popescu for example, Alice builds up a good reputation in
the WoT.
Then in some large
transaction Alice absconds with Bob's BTC and fails
to deliver
the goods. If
the same
transaction were instead executed in such a way
that if either party fails
to deliver, both Alice and Bob would lose an amount of btc equal
to
the value of
the item being purchased, would
that
then prevent Alice from sacrificing her WoT rating
to
mircea_popescu: so
they offer
this service, "drop off your kids for an afternoon and get five double cheeseburger mchappy meals"
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how
thw world works. "mom" would like a place
to drop off
the kid while she does "other
things". (no, i don't mean fucking. if only. i mean going around shitty clothes shops in
the mall and feeling each individual item buyt not buying anything,
then hitting
the food court)
jurov: moms project
theri desires into daughters?
chetty: <mircea_popescu> chetty: someone explain
to me how all
those feminists justify putting little girls scanty costumes? << "all men are pedophiles and rapists because
the only feminine females left around are under 16 yo because we educate little girls
to act like lolis and
then after puberty we
try and make
them into obnoxious whales" ?// ?? we is all men? interesting and does explain much but still doesn't explain
the mommy behavior dressing
them
mircea_popescu: "I would like
to inform anybody involved in
this kinda
thing,
that
there's a maximum penalty of $100,000, one-year in jail, or both," Phil Bradford, an FCC spokesman,
told a reporter
the following day." << also appears on
two spots on
the interwebs. vice.com and b-a logs.
thanks
to
the power of logic we now know ben_vulpes writes for motherboard.
mircea_popescu: "he fucked, like, a real woman" valley girl speak as opposed
to "he fucked a real woman" nohomo bro speak
mircea_popescu: no,
took. from
to
take investment. mebbe needed a comma in
there
mircea_popescu: clearly it's because ethereum was like all respectable and
took like actual investment, rather
than just pretending on both scores.
mircea_popescu: dignork: adlai: me neither, but
this part seemed odd, so i googgled it. << such lmao. "hey,
two bitcoin scams are
the only
things google could find online
that used
the same broken logic dressed in
the same approximative verbiage. WHY COULD
THS BE ?!?!?!"

mircea_popescu: gernika you'll have
to go into detail. make me a sample scenario ?

jurov: was going
to say bitcoinbourse.eu but
they're still up
mircea_popescu: hey, who were
the muppets
that closed recently, claiming
they were spending 9k/month on servers among other
thiungs ? qntra reported it
ben_vulpes: mats_cd03: it's
too cold and wet around here for anything approaching a bacchanal
ben_vulpes: phil doesn't quite get
the notion of a maxmum, i warrant.
ben_vulpes: "I would like

dignork: oh,
the part of "additional processing power" seemed irrelevant
to music foundation
adlai: what about it seems odd, it's perfectly reasonable for
the people selling
these
things
to fear for
their asses and get old-fashioned legal advice
dignork: adlai: me neither, but
this part seemed odd, so i googgled it.
adlai reveals himself as having not even read
the materials associated with ether
adlai: "BitShares Music will be
the first blockchain
to be used by
the masses" just shut up and
take my money!
jurov: be sure
to
take a photo
thickasthieves: well what do i do with all my ATC once i win
them all?
chetty: someone explain

mats_cd03: no
tits on

Vexual: is
there a new crockpot with instructions fund?
that was funny

ben_vulpes: (busted crock aside,
the coq au vin is coming along nicely)
ben_vulpes: turdmeisters: what am i
to do with
tests? bitcoin 0.8+ has
them in qa/rpc-tests
mircea_popescu: you name a judge, i name a judge,
they name a
third judge and
then
they score
them.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
tell you what.
tell
the woman she's been served.
ben_vulpes: same reason as i;
to practice writing under someone with a cane
ben_vulpes: she comes
to pdx
to study some kind of "installation art" at
the local bezzletron art school
mircea_popescu: aanyways! go on,
this is
turning into a fascinating
tale.
ben_vulpes: not my field, so i can't really speak
to any of it.
ben_vulpes: girl's
transpo and food and lodging was paid for by places
mircea_popescu: i mean, isn't it just what hookers say
to
the cops, like
the guy caught pissing in public pulls
the bladder condition ?
mircea_popescu: dude is a female slam poet anything other
than a hooker ?!
ben_vulpes: immediately after hs she ran
the kids program at an art museum
mircea_popescu: o wait,
the original vulpe's an art student ?! what's she make ?
ben_vulpes: which
to be fair
to
the poor art student, is a subtlety of
the practice.
ben_vulpes: one bespeaks a fundamental failure
to understand
the mechanisms at play,
the other a poor grasp of
thermal inertia and
the concept of localized heat stresses.
ben_vulpes: whereas
the "hot oil in cold dish" is more along
the lines of sudo rm -rf /
ben_vulpes: i'd liken
this one
to an iptables fuckup
mircea_popescu: maybe you need stan
to rewrite
the os/proc designs/world
ben_vulpes: or perhaps more accurately, another edge case has been brought
to light.
