BingoBoingo: dr_love: BitBet only
takes 1% and most people who bet
there can math
jurov: so you'll gonna having customers
that dwarf
the $100 figure right from
the start?
dr_love: BingoBoingo:
that is interesting
mircea_popescu: jurov a) most dcs
that are even half decent don't charge for ddos ; b)
those
that do rent you fixed pipe anyway
BingoBoingo: dr_love: Write a bitbet "Between XX/YY/ZZZ and AA/BB/CCC
the sum of
the numbers drawn in a powerball drawing will be Divisible by 37" put 1 BTC on yes, wait for people
to
take
the other side when
they do
the math.
dr_love: so you're saying all gambling is dice, it being
the best way
to put it out
there?
jurov: mircea_popescu: how do you imagine economic model of such hosting? if we put everything onnto one basked and
then one ddos burns $100/week of bandwidth, who'll pay?
mircea_popescu: dr_love basically it's a marketing wrapper on
top of a dice site. best work as a promoter
then i guess.
dr_love: a Bitcoin lottery could do much better
than
that
assbot: EuroMillions - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
dr_love: mircea_popescu: player's perception?
the jackpot grows huge after a few rollovers
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
that's a flawed premise. collective security, baby.
kakobrekla: when one customer will
threaten all
the seven you got
mircea_popescu: in short i'd put bitvps down
to poor management rather
than poor fundamentals.
dr_love: mircea_popescu: when you need
to buy a
ticket
to have a 1 in xxx,xxx,xxx chance
to win
the jackpot
dr_love: is
there any value in a provably fair bitcoin lottery?
mircea_popescu: it's rare
that you get
the customers asking for you, usually people have
to create markets
kakobrekla: dunno, with hosting providers having
the margins same as
the fees of bitcoin exchanges
mircea_popescu: the idea
that poor people have something
to say boggles.
mircea_popescu: blogger
that can't afford any but free hosting should stfu and
turn
the fries.
mircea_popescu: consider yest, qntra was up but say bingo's blog was down. well ? what's he
to do ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla listen, people like
the amateur ddos guy will be helping with
this.
mircea_popescu: thus creating a single point of failure. which people can evaluate for
trust.
mircea_popescu: colocate in locked boxes, don't allow
the dc or anyone else any sort of access
to
the boxes, kivm or whatever
mod6: yea, we need
The Crypt like in cryptonomicon
mircea_popescu: if it's someone you
trust
then it's someone you
trust.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla best i can
tell, all someone needs
to do is a) be a sysadmin and b) colocate a few boxes in a decent dc
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> PinkPosixPXE you know people have been clamoring for a bitcoin host for a while. < meh
the only way you can do anything in
this direction is
to be another reseller
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: You want
to give newswriting a
try? It's fun.
assbot: JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon: Bitcoin Will “Try
to Eat Our Lunch” | Cryptocurrency And Bitcoin News information on other digital currencies.
mircea_popescu: let's pretend like
things are other
things and stuff!1
mircea_popescu: "All
those haters
that come in here with economic models and charts
telling us it's impossible; all
the hit pieces penned by pros like Krugman
telling us
to 'grow up' - none of
them really quite grasp
that
there could possibly be a group of people who have
the audacity
to sit around
their hallowed poker
table without needing
to win."
assbot: We won without
trying : Bitcoin
PinkPosixPXE: Thank you much, and
thank you for
the unrate, and clarifying
the matter :).
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i'm
told
the site was down but it was while i was sleeping. it was back up when i awoke.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Where I spell ungood
this
time?
PinkPosixPXE: I'm one of
the Senior Linux/Unix Admins for a publishing company.
pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell BingoBoingo daniel "speeks" ? i'm not
the only one who noticed
this...
PinkPosixPXE: I will openly admit I am still learning, and new, but will
try
to avoid putting my foot in my mouth
too much :P. I've combed over all
the wiki's for bt-otc and bt-assets, and am going
through
the 6 months of logs as I find
time.
kakobrekla: and natural balances of
the assiverse were restored
PinkPosixPXE: Yea,
that was my mistake,
the joke was in poor
taste, and I also misunderstood
the ranking system a bit. Sorry about
that.
cazalla: mircea_popescu,
the no vol i'll include but
this missing 100 and same deposit address i can find nothing of
PinkPosixPXE: Good, almost done, I had
to jump in a work meeting
to discuss
the Bash Shellshock vuln, and repatching some systems.. But I gave BingoBoingo an update, and will be sending it off shortly. It's my first shot at
this, so I hope it's not
too egregious.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla mpoe-pr
told kraken pr
to quit over
their
trying
to paper over
that incident.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu heya wd on
that latest usgaving piece :)
kakobrekla: also i am unable
to find anything written re
that incident
kakobrekla: hard
to keep up whats
the latest problem
kakobrekla: honestly,
they still have issues all
the
time
bounce: <mircea_popescu> all
that's needed
to put someone at a crime scene
today is an old hairbrush, or a worn shirt, or anything. << oh yes.
there was
this mass-everything criminal, showed up everywhere, who eventually
turned out
to be a sloppy worker in a dna swab factory
kakobrekla: now
that i started
to
think about it it -
the more i
think
the less i recall
kakobrekla: but anyway, if you need
to 'balance'
things, you can always link bash :)
mircea_popescu: ended up with ~100 btc in deposits
they couldn't properly credit.
mircea_popescu: cazalla few months ago,
they had
this embarassing moment when
they sent
the same deposit address
to anyone asking for a deposit address for a day or
two
mircea_popescu: cazalla anyway, you can mention
the
time
they lost customer deposits,
too, round it all up, since it's
there.

things.
cazalla: but i should've mentioned
the non existent vol kraken has
mircea_popescu: cazalla but when you quote what
the man says whle
the man's puffing up his business, you are in fact publishing paid pr.
cazalla: <mircea_popescu> cazalla yeah but you see what i mean <<< not really, it's not a promotional piece, just quoting what
the man said himself, i'm not
too familiar with kraken guys
though
tbh
mod6: 'bout
the same
time.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: i get it, caleb and co would like us
to
think kraken actually exists.
that's fine, but it doesn't, and why are you pushing it ? <<< i
thought i mentioned
their low vol in
the article, guess not
mircea_popescu: whether we're getting paid for
that sort of
thing or not, it's still paid pr.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: how is some derps with no money "considering" buying something
that doesn't exist news ? <<< jesse's words, not mine,
they did pocket some cash from investors, gotta spruce
the japanese launch somehow
mod6: who was

Apocalyptic: here's in #paymium at
the moment, at least
mircea_popescu: TomServo i have nfi. bounce sure,

mircea_popescu: but no, he quit brokering many months before
that, an' he we were sort-of working on a project but apparently never went anywhere.
