mircea_popescu: romanian law is quite permissive : if he can't pay and has no income, you can convict
the guy
to community service.
mircea_popescu: all
the bums owed massive fines for all sorts of
things.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> i guess you could always step a homeless guy << fun fact : police in
timisoara started getting bonuses by
total fine volume.
total fine volume went up.
total fine arrears went way up. city hall in hot water over it,
turns out...
jurov: <smooth>
that's a good margin actualy
jurov: <jurov> yea i spend 1.5euro/day
to make 0.15 let's scale it up!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> you can
try 1,000 variants until works. << you can buy one and
try safely.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> with machine - owner finds out, possibly weeks or months later, when he himself is prosecuted <<
there's really no prosecution. i've had fake bills in
the common course of business multiple
times all over. it happens.
cazalla: i guess you could always step a homeless guy
through it and pay him for his
time, handprint, ID etc
jurov: yes, but camera is not in
the front of face
mircea_popescu: <jurov>
til <<
this is
the case in slovakia
too. look around.
cazalla: why would you want cash
though?
jurov: but do
they exchange btc for cash? i doubt
that, i
think owner has
to bring
the cash
to bank and wire
them
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> must be a
template cuz
the logo sucks and doesnt match at all <<< looks like it.
jurov: they are not
that foolhardy
cazalla: well
they provide
the liquidity from exchanges compared
to say a lamassu where
the owner provides
the coins and it can go empty
cazalla: what's
to stop you buying a robocoin, print up some fakes and start draining
the machine seeing you're not
the one providing
the bitcoins it dispenses?
cazalla: apparently it's like half
the revenue from memory
cazalla: what
they do here
to clean
the money is feed it in, have a couple spins, withdraw it from machine and it's deemed a win
then
cazalla: i wonder if fakes get fed into
the machines or if companies like aristocrat have great detection?
cazalla: gaming machines are used in au
to launder hundreds of millions apparently
BingoBoingo: <TheNewDeal> If I go
to an atm at a casino, and I want
to withdraw, where do i withdraw from? << Not ATM at
the casino, gambling machines
jurov: and
the other way around
jurov: yes. and
this btm accepts bills and spits out a slip with btc address or such
TheNewDeal: not sure how
the guy was depositing bills. Maybe it spit out casino chips or something?
TheNewDeal: If I go
to an atm at a casino, and I want
to withdraw, where do i withdraw from?
TheNewDeal: this is
true, I haven't looked into it
TheNewDeal: I'm still surprised
that you say it's easier
to fake a machine
than a person
jurov: well, i suppose
they're fachidiots
jurov: TheNewDeal:
they
told him everyone will
try
to fool
the machine
jurov: well,
the same was said
to my fellow lamassu owner someone will put colored bills from burglared ATM in, etc.
jurov: do i see right
the camera on
top of
that bitcoin-teller-machine ?
TheNewDeal: Although I
think if you could produce
that quality of a bill, you most likely wouldn't have a problem giving it out
to others (non btc atm owners)
TheNewDeal: so
the idea is
to
try and forge a benjamin and get a real currency in return?

ThickAsThieves: so
this 1btcxe challenge is by CFIG, which is Havelock?
assbot: Ok who's gonna be
the first
to put several Apple watches on his penis and make a
teledildonics app?
mircea_popescu: it'd be "please cut off your clit, put it in a sushi roll and mail it
to me"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if nsa were a girl, it wouldn't be asking for nudies, nor for a fuck, nor for a blowjob during superball, in
the parking lot.
artifexd: I don't want anybody
to feel bad. If I lose
the 2btc it is not going
to come close
to affecting my net worth at all. As
tat says,
the risk/reward seems about right.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: one can see why riga's popular with
the british stag parties, russian biznessmen, and german
tourists
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> riga is worth a visit: fine food, reasonable prices, beautiful young women, appealing architecture << all
true.
pete_dushenski: in
the logs, it reads like a fisherman
toying with his catch before gutting him
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: well maybe you'll be more careful next
time
pete_dushenski: there's some of
the most interesting residential architecture i've seen anywhere
there
pete_dushenski: jurmala (not your mama) is just 20km west and is
the wealthy beach resort/bedroom community for riga, also well worth a visit
pete_dushenski: artifexd:^
There's my bet << so giving
to
teh community,
this guy
pete_dushenski: that'd be incredible if hashrate went
to sub-200k and stayed
there for
the next 5 days
pete_dushenski: twas nice of mircea_popescu
to (seemingly unintentionally)
trick artifexd into contributing
to
the 31bn diff fund.
ThickAsThieves: i
tried
to get nanotube
to change how gribble does diff, but he's happy as it is
pete_dushenski: ThickAsThieves: after
the wall came down, it's like a new country!
ThickAsThieves: <+pete_dushenski> labvakar (good evening) from riga! ///
they have internet
there?
artifexd: bitcoinwisdom certainly paints a picture of "I be a fool". In
their whole history of difficulty increases,
there have never been
two consecutive difficulty increases
that added up
to less
than 12%.
ThickAsThieves: i believe nubbins has done such explicitly by creating
the bet he needed
ben_vulpes: call me a poorfag, but i don't get
the risk.
ThickAsThieves: i
think what happened was i looked at it several
times
thinking, nah, no way it gets
that high, and
then feeling my brain pump chemical memories of when i bet against diff before and lost 50btc, so i abstained
mircea_popescu: you boys be getting complacent ? BingoBoingo said
the same
thing

mircea_popescu: pity
they couldn't make social media sites out of it back
them
mircea_popescu: o look at
that, apparently it's civil war for bad bandage
