Naphex: everyone just attacks the person who moves the money, so might as well just do your own AML/KYC
Vallance: It's honestly one of the things that I'm most torn about. In all reality I want to know as least as possible.

Vallance: The truth is we started out just as anyone would with Bitcoin trading I suppose

cazalla: supposedly, i've never had or made it before, i've been keeping livers frozen as it didn't seem worthwhile to make a small amount and i butcher them as needed so it's not like i have a lot of livers at once
benkay: i guess yours then as well
bloctoc: you had me until "FB Stock is volatile". Meanwhile I understand the concept of hedging, I just didn't realize when I asked the question that there was such a thing as F.DERP
davout: mthreat: so you know as much as i do ;) i'll put you in touch with the guy that did it if you want to implement sthg on your side
davout: mircea_popescu: "sort-of poisons you as it were." <<< does not parse
mircea_popescu: davout not really much diff. sort-of poisons you as it were.
mike_c: this was explored exhaustively with satoshi dice. some serious gymnastics pulled it off with trivial amounts, and SD then reacted and closed that loophole as well.

mircea_popescu: on reading http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/f-derp-short-risky-bitcoin-startups/2014/06/25 towards where it says "the log of the original discussion", am i the only one for whom that link comes as some sort of doge thing rather than a log linkj ?
moiety: davout, it was exactly the same as facebook but orange and had bitcoin symbols everywhere. i think it failed so badly, theytried to sell it and couldn't even pan it off
mircea_popescu: justusranvier i dunno. as a compulsive reader of supreme court caselaw up until about the 70s i must say it was pretty good literature.
mircea_popescu: “It is not the role of this court to identify and plug loopholes,” Scalia wrote. “It is the role of good lawyers to identify and exploit them, and the role of Congress to eliminate them if it wishes.” << i could see scalia as bitcoin chief justice.
ThickAsThieves: 'How much of a threat is something like Bitcoin?' "We settle and pay out in 121 currencies ... once bitcoin is regulated ... why wouldn't we use bitcoin ... if it's regulated as a currency" ~ Western Union CEO
rithm: as part of a lrger operation
rithm: mircea_popescu, even better rent the burn-in period as "cloud hashing"
ThickAsThieves: "As we have capacity available and as we gain more capacity, we will be activating more people in Cloud Mining. As we ship out hardware and disable the people with Cloud Mining after they have their hardware shipped, we will allocate that capacity to the next people in line. "
mircea_popescu: rithm the misguided pretense as to jurisdiction is starting to get on my nerves. sec doesn't actually make it, but all sorts of dr foreskin lapdogs fall over each other to "create consensus"
mircea_popescu: but you're right, the only current business of pseudo-bitcoin businesses a la coinbase, bitpay etc is that they're benefiting from a legal inefficiency, where exchanges that admit it are being fucked actively, whereas exchangesd that pretend to be paymernt processors aren't fucked quite as bad quite as yet.
mircea_popescu: "You ask why people invest... Let me answer that for you as I have decades of experience providing analysis to investors... "

mircea_popescu: 1.2 btc bet comes in. server looks at results, A wins, B loses. server picks its hash as B and reconstructs the merkle tree
pankkake: I thought about it, and decided "there is" was the correct form, as I am saying "services like this exist"
mircea_popescu: but anywqay, this entire paper is not about server cheating, it's about how "if you're lazy and stupid you might lose". sure. as it should be. let people make proper betting bots with seeding per bet
davout: mike_c: maybe that's related to using an IP directly as the NS field value, i have no fucking clue :D
davout: meh, i get the same message as you
davout: mike_c: curious as to why i'm getting a servfail when not asking your server directly
Apocalyptic: <mike_c> in order for clients to query it, the root domain needs to list my server as a nameserver for seeds.atc // you're sure ?
mike_c: clear as mud?
mike_c: in order for clients to query it, the root domain needs to list my server as a nameserver for seeds.atc
davout: jurov: as in "this guy owes me 100 BTC, here's 100 BTC to get it from him" ?
davout: to be read as -200%
punkman: mike's nameserver spits out node IPs as A records
ThickAsThieves: i only menat to do as told
mircea_popescu: usg will just redefine "cellphones" as laptops or w/e
mircea_popescu: "The get.mp site is a bit defunct as the certificate is expired."
davout: there's no such thing as "the dns for paris" :D
ThickAsThieves: but no idea if the seeds subdomain is set up as needed yet
ThickAsThieves: yeah it only shows A, TXT, CNAME as options... i'll dig
ThickAsThieves: i was only there as a last resort, cuz the DNS secrtion only allowed TXT or CNAME

bitcoinpete: as ever, a wise move
mike_c: it is not as simple as dice, but hopefully some find it fun.
mike_c: not as cheap as doge, but, hey.
TheNewDeal: I guess it wasn't really that large though if you add in my late bet that was refunded as well
cazalla: bitcoinpete: fwiw, i was going to bet on the same one but didn't as i thought it was borderline and likely to be refunded
kakobrekla: as you wish
jurov: The involuntary bankruptcy filing came days after HashFast’s CEO told Ars that his company was “as poor as church mice.” Prior to that, the company fired half of its staff and declared “we’re not scammers.”
pankkake: I didn't picture him as a hippie (and certainly not incompetent)
Mats_cd03: im in the same room as bruce schneier right now
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re: your x11 wm post: the funny thing is, i originally grew fond of 'ratpoison' wm precisely because, years ago, as student, i used an uncommonly small laptop.
asciilifeform: re: russian 'arm' cpu hype << same sad story as 'elbrus' company. the latter started out as a somewhat original superscalar design, ended up a cheap pentium clone. they succumbed to the temptation of the ussr starting in '70s - clone common cpu, run l33t w4r3z.
assbot: Detroit activists call for UN help as city shuts off water for thousands | Al Jazeera America
BingoBoingo: Otherwiase you write off the implementor as a snake BECAUSE they chose poorly
BingoBoingo: Hmmm... -assets doesn't seem as capable of spamming 3rd party sites like it was earlier this year.
pankkake: this has been discussed some time ago; one solution can be to use future block hashes as part of the server seed, however it delays the result
Namworld: Yeah, as I said, a properly done provably fair system doesn't prevent cheating/stealing. It just makes it impossible to do without the possibility of getting caught.
Namworld: That's left to opinion. Isn't bad as far as I care.
BingoBoingo: Namworld: Might as well, you have a vested interest. If not you, who?
Namworld: Or as a competitor, should I leave that to others? hmm...
BingoBoingo: Make it a single thing and ship it as an art piece
moiety: cats don't seem to grow like dogs either. as in reaching a certain size at a certain age and stopping. mine have kept growing (albeit slowly) until mid-age
asciilifeform: (as i recall, savannah cat is bred in only a few places, and sells for ~$20k each)
asciilifeform: moiety: sure, they look quite different. but normally 'species' is defined as a set of individuals which can interbreed.
moiety volunteers as a feeder
TheNewDeal: just having some fun. I've been lazy with calculators before as well
ThickAsThieves: mike_c seeds.therealaltcoin.org is now set up as CNAME 54.197.241.190 - I don't think it's propagated yet tho

mircea_popescu: it's zhou and his collector friend just as well
mircea_popescu: if by august 15h maliki has been hanged in the middle east, bet resolves as yes. if he's living in lonon, bet resolves as no. otherwise, bet cancels.
mircea_popescu: as pankkake observed
mircea_popescu: as a certain short ignoramus was fond of pointing out
