mthreat: mircea_popescu: best bet is probably use:
tumblr*
mthreat: mircea_popescu: yeah it looks like url
tokenization just isn't very smart
mthreat: ah yeah. "tumblr.com" matches 7 because
those 7 have "/tumblr_xyz" in
the url, which gets
tokenized so it has
the
token "tumblr"
assbot: War of Life - Cellular automaton
to
the death!
mircea_popescu: i
think
there's some sort of funk in url
tokenization maybe
TheNewDeal: On a slightly different
topic. Was
the Nanking massacre related
to
the
Treaty of Versailles ? Was
talking about
the Nanking massacre just
the other day at work with someone, he was
talking about
the Nazis being involved, and I didn't realize Germany had given Japan some land in China a couple decades before
TheNewDeal: played
too much with
the price bets when I started and just ended up making little for risking lots
TheNewDeal: I'm
trying
to get away from
the risky bets myself
TheNewDeal: well
thats pretty fucking fantastic if you ask me
kakobrekla: bitcoinpete did like 30% in less
than an hour ?
TheNewDeal: I guess it wasn't really
that large
though if you add in my late bet
that was refunded as well
TheNewDeal: well don't
they also have
to perform
to spec?
cazalla: i'm hoping a win on
the knc bet but expect
to lose given criteria even
though
they've begun shipping
cazalla: shame more people didn't bet on
that prop
though
TheNewDeal: was quite sure
that no larger bets would come on
the same side. Made sure
that
the outcome was a rare event, and felt very confident in betting
TheNewDeal: but I knew what
the return would be. I also looked at
the return for people who might have a much larger BTC stake
than myself
assbot: BitBet - Block 315k mined on or before July 28th :: 0.44 B (5%) on Yes, 8.39 B (95%) on No | closing in 2 weeks 5 days | weight: 15`645 (100`000
to 5`000)
TheNewDeal: I'm
the
type of person
that stays away from everything at
the casino
that designed
to make you lose on purpose, and heads straight
to
the poker
tables
TheNewDeal: well I played basketball and up until 8th grade and wasn't good enough
to make it on
the freshman
team
cazalla: TheNewDeal: do you bet
to have some fun with it
type shit or are you
the sorta guy
that knows
the bounce you get off different sort of wood on basketball courts?
TheNewDeal: well not super high, but
the winners made like 3X payout.
TheNewDeal: latest urge
to impulse bet is
the FHM bet. Last year's sum was so high!
TheNewDeal: should have made a bet
that was "bitbet will allow another negative bet"
assbot: The anatomy of a disaster pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal well, it's
the mod's job.
they normally do a good job of it, but not always.
cazalla: betting mid game of 3rd match is still a risk
though if it's an hour until
the block is confirmed,
that's
the other reason i avoid mid game bets
TheNewDeal: pretty disappointed
that I wasn't
the winner of
the bitbet adjudicating record with my bitcon price above $525 in may bet. seems like
there was a little bit of leniency with
this sports bets with
the date adjustments
TheNewDeal: ooooh getting me excited for my rock climbing
trip next weekend

TheNewDeal: I
thought
that you and BB were betting against, and I was for 14B
TheNewDeal: mike_c why did
this need
to be repeated?
mircea_popescu: yeah, quite a while ago. enough
to ship 3 generations of cardano :D
mircea_popescu: mike_c people interested in mysteries will now go into
the logs
to see when i first made certain unsubstantiated claims and
then apply engineering
timeframes
to
the window ellapsed.
mike_c: hey
TheNewDeal. by
the way. don't bet against difficulty.
mike_c: who else could it be.
this is serious horsepower.
mike_c: in other news, over *twenty* petahashes have come online in
the last week or so
mike_c: knc, relatively speaking, is on
the ball. last week
they shipped (300 x 3) = 900
TH/s, and a similar amount over
the next week.
mircea_popescu: cedivad: Barber claimed
that
they were payments
to suppliers, but he has still
to prove
that. <<
that'd be unlikely. depends a lot of
the jurisdiction and everything, but in general speaking
the manager can just say "we have no more money" and
that's
that. he doesn't have
to prove how he spent it. you may prove he misspent it and
then it could escalate
to fraud, but in general, in a bankruptcy, a manager is not going
t mircea_popescu: but if it makes you feel any better,
they were never populat here. not
that ct ever was.
mircea_popescu: cedivad: so, hashfast got 20 millions in and
they were able
to destroy all of
that value. << listing what, a d. ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c: ah, because it lies.
this makes sense. << it flushes
the 100 pre-generated addies.
mircea_popescu: moiety: hmm docking... my eyes get wider every day in here.... :] <<< i wouldn't worry while it's just
the eyes.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03:mircea_popescu: and
the devices in existence? what about
them? << burn
them.
mthreat: it's not really necessary..
the parsing is pretty easy using JSoup
kakobrekla: but aside
that, i can make you ?json
to parse
the stuff from logs if you want
kakobrekla: no i dun run gribble, assbot will
take care of
this - but, my
thought was just
to make assbot build
the url query for you on
the chan, no json needed
mthreat: kakobrekla: add &output=json for json. I can change
the JSON output if you like, for gribble (do you run gribble?)
mthreat: -
Tried
to improve line spacing
mthreat: - Now sorts by date by default (option
to sort by relevance)

cedivad: Barber claimed
that
they were payments
to suppliers, but he has still
to prove
that.
cedivad: yes,
there are many addresses we know of
that holded our BTC payments since August/September
Mats_cd03: best case, it went into holding btc and
the guys at
the
top are making out like princes.
jborkl: they said "accounting is a wreck and can't find millions" <- probably is
there
cedivad: lol, no. I'm a poor guy
that spent more
than what should have lost pre-ordering from HashLabs
jborkl: peppermining is jsut
two guys buying chips
cedivad: nah,
that was
the
tip of
the iceberg. And ars is good, but not good enought. it's difficult for us
to understand what is really going on, a jurnalist cannot do miracles
jurov: linked article mentions parnership with some PepperMining anon company, maybe
that was it
cedivad: what
they spent 20M on... Good question,
the filings are not answering
to
that for now
cedivad: so
they sinked
the ship and got everything out via alternative means, imho
cedivad: they basically decided
to destroy
the company in December when
they saw
that
they would have had huge lawsuits against
them due
to
their lies
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.”
