Vexual: is there such thing as a write once bios?
Vexual: titties on the boot screen, thats as advanced as i get
Namworld: Should have put a 100 BTC short with x100 leverage as soon as bad news hit... if only there was a place to do that.
Namworld: nice as in, let the mythical creatures (kraken, doge, etc) stick together.
pankkake: you can actually put images as GPG identities :)
nubbins`: you might as well have included a photograph of yourself as a young man
nubbins`: cavirtex is shady as fuck too, tbh
nubbins`: they were patching up basic-level security holes are recently as last summer
kakobrekla: my brain tends to remember useless things such as that
ThickAsThieves: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ygcil/as_requested_im_ben_lawsky_superintendent_of_the/cfkbz3z?context=3
Apocalyptic: "<m7a> actually, I think right now the entire mtgox issue is pretty relevant to bitcoin as a whole"
asciilifeform: it is just as mandatory to mention 'tor, anonymity...'
asciilifeform: just as every NYT turd is guaranteed to mention 'mtgox, the premier exchange,...' whenever it runs a piece on btc
mircea_popescu: anyway, this isn't so much an exercise in showing how great bitbet is for this purpose, but moreover on how trivial it is to use any properly designed service as a tumbler, ☟︎
dignork: mircea_popescu: open bets as tumbler are not usable, since the fee, which contains odds change, is unpredictable
mircea_popescu: i dunno where this "closed bets as tumblr" thing started, but it's not so clever.
nubbins`: "as safe as it gets"
Mallstromm: dignork: I've used bitcoinfog many times. It works just fine. They've been in business for more than a year now. It's as safe as it gets. Just do not send hundreds of coins but a few dozens at a time
Mallstromm: are you guys still discussing about the retarded "bitbet as a tumbler" issue?
pLambert: use bitbet as tumbler: put in small bet on winning side, put in large (to be laundered) bet on the losing side. Voila, instead of having stolen bitcoins you now have gambling winnings.
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as this is true, and you wish to do "x-tumbler-dance" obviously bitbet won't be a good solution for oyu.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't as an onion, no, if that's what you meant
dignork: mircea_popescu, sorry I had to jump offline for a bit, back to the using bitbet as a tumbler, private bets do provide this function, but bitbet.us is not accessible over tor and does not work over https...
mircea_popescu: course it could just as well go to 3983409583409853098 on the 1st
benkay: Mats_cd03: re: cleaning coins: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/01/31_mix-your-coins-for-1-bitbet-as-mixer.html
ThickAsThieves: "Many bitcoin enthusiasts think that the widespread adoption of some form of cryptocurrency is an inevitability and that unfriendly governments such as China and Russia will ultimately be powerless to stop it. Do you share this view?"
ThickAsThieves: the loss can be as large as their derp
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder might as well enjoy the trading.
mircea_popescu: tbh i kinda like the guy. i mean he looks uncomfortable as all hell and plenty clueless,
mircea_popescu: desk too low, that thing actually looks like he's moved into his master's house as a junior slavegirl and they didn't have a spare room so he got the closet.
ThickAsThieves: lawsky AMA open for questions http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ygcil/as_requested_im_ben_lawsky_superintendent_of_the/
mircea_popescu: as in it won't make or won't compile at all ?
nubbins`: ran into the same issues as before, likely related to apple's bundling their own fork of LLVM
Bugpowder: <cough> Incoming Bitcoin that doesn't exactly match a quoted sum will be simply kept, reported as profits and distributed to MPEx shareholders.
nubbins`: as a canadian citizen, i eagerly await my servicing
nubbins`: ** ATTENTION ** As per our terms of service, we only service Canadian Citizens. If you deposit BTC, you will **NOT** be able to withdraw them until you are level 1 Verified or higher. Failure to get level 1 verified or higher will result in the **FORFEITURE OF YOUR COINS**!!!
BingoBoingo: As luck would have it for him he went into lockup as I fronted the local paper. He told the people in his pad "I know that dude"
mircea_popescu: the correct strategy, which is to say the perfect strategy, is to go rob a bank. if no police shows up, good. if they do, butcher the civillians. which is to say, all ofthem. no mercy, no hesitation, optimize the carnage as to extension.
ThickAsThieves: i know i said it already, but i fukn love this fever-tree ginger beer as a mixer
ThickAsThieves: still not as bad as emails i get asking me how to buy AM100
nicknode: well yeah. anyway, care to enlighten me as to the latest developments?
ThickAsThieves: as in it's more costly for Google to have one more idiot in the ranks than not
BingoBoingo: They (Micon) rightly called BFL out as a scam
ThickAsThieves: which is just as well
davout: i didn't say it wasn't possible, i said it was handled in a way that qualifies as "a little weird" in my system
davout: as in, i don't have an actual board at hand to do this
ThickAsThieves: status. We are committed to solving this issue and will provide more information as soon
ThickAsThieves: "As much as we didn’t want to only provide an “update on an update”, this is the current
ThickAsThieves: security problems, and as a result we had to relocate MtGox to our previous office building
mircea_popescu: mtgox turns out to be about as good as bfl.
Namworld: This announcement is as stupid as the previous one. Who would have thought.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, you have been seasoned as a strategic consultant.
cazalla: guessing it'll still resolve as yes
greenspan_fan: ass as a service?
mircea_popescu: fun fact : back in 2008 (ie, as the crisis hit) denton suspended their bonus package.
asciilifeform: as i fall asleep
greenspan_fan: as an example, if you were paypal, could you afford to design, build, and power enough asics to wreck the network?
asciilifeform: the common factor between btc and gold, etc. is (no surprise to anyone, i hope) - behaviour as a closed (i.e. conserved) system, and easily verified as such
mircea_popescu: no, it does not "store value" any more than "empathy" as used by the libertard is either human or virtuous.
asciilifeform: trying to think of items which act as store of value in some useful sense without really being spendable
greenspan_fan: OK, so the contention is that things that are faster to process (such as cash or credit) are expected to allow for retail level/immediate transaction, while btc is more of a long term store of value, right?
greenspan_fan: mircea_popescu as you say, not a problem for reasonably wealthy individuals, but it means that if you don't already have a lot of fiat currency, you can't rely on bitcoin
mircea_popescu: (your q was as to coordinate moving, not as to patching, mind)
asciilifeform: perhaps if the public exchanges perish, people will be cured of the habit of treating 'btc price in X' as a scalar.
mircea_popescu: speculation of the sort and type that the exchanges enable and reddit/forum/.etc support is about as fundamental to bitcoin as druggies were.
asciilifeform: (for anyone unfamiliar with 'djvu', it's an old but irreplaceable format specifically for warez scans. wavelet-compressed images. no turing-complete vector rendering as in pdf.)
greenspan_fan: anyone seriously concerned about a price collapse if it turns out most exchanges were as incompetent as mt gox?
moiety: A Japanese-American Team created green-fluorescent cats as proof of concept to use them potentially as model organisms for diseases, particularly HIV.[42] I volunteer to look after them
Bugpowder: Most mutations kill the fluorescence (they don't match literate word, as a metaphor)
Bugpowder: your new gene sequence now has randomizations at those spots, as specified by your primer blend
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, pissing on this particular electric fence is strictly voluntary.
mircea_popescu: it could do pretty much anything, such as never stop.
moiety: i love how they went on location as probably too embarrassed to strip pff anywhere else
benkay: the ones who argue a) satoshi hoard and b) implementation-as-specification are right
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tittybong | tittybong. a place in Australia but also the act of the female appendage leaping from it's cotton, underwired prison. Can be used as an expression of pleasure...or  ...
mircea_popescu: as it is, it's all fine.
moiety: wah i didnt realise it was as early as 1927 he started documenting
lnovy: sorry, off-topic problem, as i've said, tldr
mircea_popescu: that in principle is clear, but it helps as much as "capture enemy pieces" helps in chess
mircea_popescu: they all start as natural language constructs
mircea_popescu: the game board consists of an endless set of strings, which all start as natural language constructs and are "decayed" by bit flipping by an actual rng.
mircea_popescu: you define actual words in the dictionary as "good stuff", and each player gets a selection of poems to complete. words themselves are worth points, filled lines are worth more points, filled poems even more.
mircea_popescu: it can be about as difficult or easy as you want to make it for yourself.
moiety: the actual pole spins itself doesn't it, its not as difficult as it looks
mircea_popescu: which will likely get you sued and congress pass a law saying dollars have to be just as big as anything else on the tag!!1
mircea_popescu: nor are you allowed to pull the "this is just as good as usd" liberty dollar scam.
mircea_popescu: diametric the other interepretation is, that as long as you price your goods in dollars you're fine, and as long as you accept someone';s offer of doobaloos for your items you're also fine,
mircea_popescu: moiety oyu know that "please allow me to analyse your situation" post is about as old as the internet ?
mircea_popescu: the20year2: In a life or death situation i'm sure they don't care too much << did this guy just argue with a bunch of people about using the rifle as a club ?
mircea_popescu: as opposed to their contemptible slimy thing.
mircea_popescu: so then, here's your big thing : make a post introducing social justice as if it were set theory.
pankkake: it means havelock was kinda irrelevant as a counterparty
kakobrekla: Captain Zapp Brannigan: No, it's noble of you, Kif. As of now, you're in command. Congratulations, Captain.
jurov: as opposed to duty hairy crackrocks
kakobrekla: every fool would decline that, bitcoin-rot13 is worth only as much as bitcoin-plaintext
FabianB_: same problem as with the coindesk index
ThickAsThieves: * As of February 7, 2014, Mt.Gox placed a "pause on all [BTC] withdrawal requests” in addition to a continued "back-log of [USD] withdrawals”. As a result, it is no longer a qualified exchange for the Winkdex calculation.
ThickAsThieves: "This bill makes clarifying changes to current law to ensure that various forms of alternative currency such as digital currency, points, coupons, or other objects of monetary value do not violate the law when those methods are used for the purchase of goods and services or the
davout: as much as in theory than in practice
davout: it's used as a currency
