DeaDTerra1: Yea, in a reputation/trust based system it is a lesson we all must learn
ericmuys_: makes more sense to keep a good reputation on your word and put them into ABM, try to revise the contract with stock holder majority?
parseval: I'd probably add in some reputation items like OTC and BitcoinTalk forum name verification
parseval: I wonder how strong of a reputation I'd need to have to launch a securities backed loan site that lets borrowers put up shares as collateral and take out BTC loans from people. Kind of like BTCJam only everything would be 120%+ collateralized and borrowers could keep the dividends that accrue while their loans are active.
truffles: how many ppl actually care for reputation..
pigeons: people who run ponzi schemes basically scam, trash their name and reputation, etc, for usually $0
furuknap: Well, I doubt he'd risk his name and reputation for a few million either...
benkay: with modern reputation tracking tools he'd be out of business rather quickly i imagine
tiberiusiv: 2 clowns suffer reputation damage
tiberiusiv: his reputation will be too damaged
damientrog: why does cnn whore out its name and reputation like that?
mircea_popescu: so srsly asciilifeform, let's say your reputation is enoug, and you have 10k btc to burn.
asciilifeform: jborkl: no, not a random arse, someone with a good reputation, hypothetically
asciilifeform: ok, someone else with a bag full of BTC and a resonably good meatspace reputation, then.
jborkl: Mp, has a stellar reputation. Unless you beleive asshole trolls and other people that are poor
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a complicated web. no one has the competence, or the capital, or the reputation, or the connections, etc etc
truffles: reputation hhaha
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: How would you personally explain the apparent lack of competition to MPEx? Is it simply the fact that no one else has the "reputation capital" ?
tiberiusiv: + you have no reputation
asciilifeform: Shitcoin was my own modest proposal for MAD/Nash equilibrium reputation management/bonds
lippoper1: hacking was just to hurt his reputation
mircea_popescu: jcpham if you only deal with peopel who understand the value of reputation you're more likely to survive for sure.
mircea_popescu: ezdiy past reputation is the way to go.
ezdiy: well, apparently past reputation guarantees future reputation according to mircea_popescu
jcpham: regardless of reputation
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nah, the worst reputation is just some random address you can send BTC or wire USD to from which nothing comes out again. MtGox is still a league above the rest, considering that this is what the rest is by default.
mircea_popescu: except they've established the worst reputation ever.
asciilifeform: (esp. if you include the cost of establishing reputation in said cost. otherwise my front door could be a top BTC exchange.)
mircea_popescu: fold orderly, you've contributed no market instability and in fact an orderly folding is better for one's reputation than continued success.
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna shill for scammers, at least don't : a. be as stupid as gigavps, shilling for pirate and being paid in "reputation"
cads: if we turn out _only_ verified code, our reputation would rise quickly.
cads: I do not wish to profit from it in ways other than 1) public reputation if I succed, and 2) transferrable skills regardless of whether I fail or succeed.
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: "free work", of course, is not work I do for free, but work I do to increase my public reputation in ways beyond what normal allowances of authority would give.
mircea_popescu: it takes 10 year for the senior engineer to gain his reputation with others
benkay: manners and reputation are important to contractors.
tiberiusiv: theres a reason romanians have a bad reputation throughout the EU

RandolphDuke: what about reputation, is coinbr the same people as mpex?
gesell: im a bit worried selling on bitcoin.de though because if the buyer doesnt care to loose a bit of reputation they could just backout
mircea_popescu: im lucky. i think i have a reputation for an asshole, so most fragile minds avoid me or something.
pigeons: mtgox has quite low margins anyway and coinlab has a reputation at not understanding how to make money
mircea_popescu: i had a reputation for such tolerance
mircea_popescu: actually i'd say most names you've heard of / have a reputation other than scammer were here before me.
DeadWeasel: reputation based currency, reputation directory
mircea_popescu: where the heck i got that reputation from, what am i, the modern day scot ?
awkorama: and thus harm their reputation
awkorama: it can harm someone's reputation though
JohnGalt49ers: you have a nice reputation ;)
gesell: author of colored coin argues for using bitcoin blockchain is better than deploying a new chain due to security of pooled hashrate. other options given are subject to the long tail of adoption. also, still going through it, appears to focus on tie tokens to assets. the asset of a widgetA isnt so important to me as the reputation of the source (rx addr) for widgetA. So I have to contemplate how to use colored coin for reputation. but ignorin
gesell: i dont want to use use the or a blockchain as a database but also use it as the means for discovery of services, as well as the store and discovery for reputation
gesell: the advantage of using The blockchain as apposed to a new one is that you can use blockchain.info for all sorts of purposes (finding WidgedA sellers, checking reputation) and its a little harder to kill blockchain.info which has plenty of legal use, than specialwidgetsellerblockchain.info. So you could basically do silkroad without Tor
gesell: a general reputation api/protocol on the block chain letting widget providers pick their reputation provider would be wicked
deadweasel: URL: http://blockchain.info/ URL Categories: Reputation: Medium Risk Media Type: Client IP: 10.9.7.4 Rule Name: IDEXX-Default Catch All Proxy Name: wme-swg1
Namworld: Yeah. But denigrating can mean simply attacking the reputation of someone or belittling them. She does that alot.
dub: that is what the whole thing is about right? judges donate their reputation to uphold the reputation of others

dub: EskimoBob: substanciate that comment or entrench your reputation as a moron
dub: the only reason to sue in rota is if the other pary has a reputation to lose
thestringpuller: but it's all about reputation
pigeons: A Reputation you can Trust: The founder of BuyBitcoin.com, Bruce Wagner, is the most famous person in the Bitcoin world, and is considered to be an expert on Bitcoin, and the Bitcoin Economy.
dub: be careful with these accusations, you wouldnt want to ruin nefario's reputation!
smickles: did 'the girl' point out that post to bitcoininv who claimed to rely on the forum for reputation and shun the WoT?
mircea_popescu: Use your brain and third-party reputation services to determine who to trust. Do not rely on the forum itself. The forum staff doesn't spend much time on scam accusations, so the forum does a very poor job of keeping up with scammers. A for-profit company should deal with this stuff. Or at least a non-profit organization of people who are actually interested in spending a lot of time to fight scams (unlike me).
smickles: they have 'otc reputation: xxx' next to user names
mircea_popescu: is his reputation in good standing ? no, it's not.
jurov: lol, ECB fears that bitcoin incidents can have negative impact to its reputation
Diablo-D3: [08:03:21] <kakobrekla> yeah, i was wondering what otc ratings were behind the words "If they are licking your balls, or compromising my reputation - yes!"
kakobrekla: yeah, i was wondering what otc ratings were behind the words "If they are licking your balls, or compromising my reputation - yes!"
EskimoBob: you pissed on your "reputation" (that was low anyways) buy showing how unstable you can be
tonikt: because I need to take care of the reputation of this service
tonikt: I'm just taking good care of the reputation of assets-otc
kakobrekla: i was checking the reputation being compromised
kakobrekla: and well tbh, "If they are licking your balls, or compromising my reputation - yes!"
dub: If I were you I would relinquish it or face further reputation taint
dub: why did you assume in the first place that this random person with no reputation, that cant even decide on the sex of the internet personal it projects, would do anything it said it would
dub: the trust in mining bonds came from the issuers reputation
Diablo-D3: you are not a customer and it damages your company's reputation to be associated with them
OneEyed: EskimoBob: I've seen that usagi accused you of being paid to spread FUD on him, but I've never seen anyone ask you if it was the case. So. Are you being paid by someone to damage usagi reputation in any way?
guruvan-: And you solidify your reputation even further with this one usagi - keep it up, you should be done by next week at this rate
