mircea_popescu: i
tend
to just link a biutbet,
then i find myuself having
to paste data
mircea_popescu: Jezzz i wouldn't know wtf
the bitbet 677 is off my head
DrewHorne: also some parts of
the strategy are confidential, and would only be on
the
table for discussion after signing a mutual NDA and mutually confirming our identities
benkay: 677 is
the unique id, Jezzz mircea_popescu
Jezzz: also, if you've got
to provide
the entire link, not sure
that's a real handy shortcut
mike_c: you'll have
to add up all
the bets yourself because kako said so :)
ThickAsThieves: Couldn't kako also dynamically create
the
title
to be
that?
DrewHorne: basically my idea involves moreso a fiat investment rather
than a bitcoin investment for starters, especially since it is over a 5 year period. I am very much of
the opinion however
that
there are forward
thinking and open minded investors of all sorts in
the bitcoin space
Jezzz: mircea_popescu: how do you imagine
the bitbet interaction working?
DrewHorne: im coming from
the bitcointalk.org investments forum, I have a very solid business plan
that I am looking for investment on, and after speaking with
ThickAsThieves he said
that
the best way
to go about vetting my idea in
the bitcoin space was
to bring it here
mike_c: Jezzz: bitbet provides json with all
the bet information. just add ?json
to end of bet url.
Jezzz: i'd just need
to
take a look at
the bitbets api
mircea_popescu: there. now you can id with gribble, and
then pm assbot !up
mircea_popescu: say, how hard would it be
to make it look for bet pool on bitbets ?
mircea_popescu: you gotta be id' with gribble, in assbot's wot
to self-voice yourself.
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> it'd seem people suspect june/july will have major deployments of moar hash /// afaik ASICminer has yet
to release
the hounds
gribble: Error: Something in
there wasn't a valid number.
mircea_popescu: soi
the x.idiff expire 18th of june, and
trading around 11bn atm
BingoBoingo: What about
that Periscope idea
that does upskirts and whatever?
mircea_popescu: hey mike_c how about a bot
that gives odds and whatnot for bitbet links ?
benkay: is
there any field-leading work on option/parimutuel parity?
mike_c: don't see much on bitbet
to short diff for june
benkay: how's
the arb look idiff vs bitbet?
mike_c: at least
the idiff's are actually in play
this quarter. nice
to see.
benkay: <ThickAsThieves> in a few years everyone will just be
their own business << why do you
think i do what i do?!
ThickAsThieves: in a few years everyone will just be
their own business
benkay: until you've got
the girls showing up with other girls you can't really call it a harem.
mircea_popescu: it's such a weird artefact of
times long gone,
to see women wearing panties...
mircea_popescu: and while i suspect he's not necessarily willing
to openly admit as much, he prolly got my point.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, strikes me as
to young and unpracticed.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, i
think he may be more
than a few
tweaks and
turns away from an actual workable harem.
mircea_popescu: benkay funny how bait died.
those pics really sucked
too
pankkake: and bear mccreary must be doing 80% of
tv series
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it occurs
to me someone should do a
topic summary of
this channel. what have we been discussing
today, music, heaters, beating small children, points of history of cryptography academic publications minutia, radiobiology
mircea_popescu: course
that can change within five minutes, leaving you without your living.
ThickAsThieves: these days you have
to pretty much hand over a finished song
that just needs
to rap verses
mircea_popescu: ie, if you suck a major rap artist's cock (the mage) and he deigns
to call you his crystal ball,
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if i were
to wager a guess, rap beats is a crystal ball
thing.
mircea_popescu: sorta like how hans zimmer does like 80% of movie soundtracks
that are any good.
ThickAsThieves: mostly
this is in contrast
to rap beat production, it is all about
the stars
BingoBoingo: Well, it's like
the one composer for nearly all
the games.
ThickAsThieves: even
teh FF series, probablty
the most popular soundtracks, i bet less
than 10% of buyers could name 1 composer
mircea_popescu: that's
the clear proof
that
the
thing is run as a lottery, and most everyone involved pays
to participate.
ThickAsThieves: hell i could be
the king if iphone app music or some shit
mircea_popescu: none of
them willing
to pay you a living wage, but all of
them happy
to have you on board.
ThickAsThieves: and
there is a vast ocean of game
types and sizes out
there
ThickAsThieves: video game industry is getting
to be bigger
than movie industry isnt it?
ThickAsThieves: i dont disagree, but you also
think video game company wouldnt pay
to have a dedicate audio artist or
team on
their project?
mircea_popescu: there's no angle
to be found
to go around
the simple fact
that nobody is willing
to pay
to listen
to some music.
ThickAsThieves: (please note
that i havent necessarily commited
to
treating
this as more
than a hobby,
that's why i'm exploring it on paper first)
mircea_popescu: this market is deader
than disco, you might as well build a
time machine
to go back
to 1982
to buy buffett's
textile business.
mircea_popescu: you can argue
this with me
till either of us get bored. point remains :
this isn't a business, it's a hobby.
ThickAsThieves: i have some
thoughts i'm fleshing out
to address
that as well
ThickAsThieves: well when you start doing soundtracks
there is other related work
mircea_popescu: you won't make money from making sound any more
than a girl will make money
taking selfies.
ThickAsThieves: i have more
twisty ideas like
that about having a music business
mircea_popescu: which will mean
that's all
they'll want
to
talk about.
mircea_popescu: which will mean
they will never have awkward silences discussing your shit
mircea_popescu: it'll keep
the fans endlessly occupied with a fun debate
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
this is a good
thing
to do, but not for
the direct reason. for
the marketing meta-reason instead :
ThickAsThieves: which got me
to wondering why we dont see "ipod" mixes
jurov: ThickAsThieves: at least you have proper prng, just hook a mic
to
that hybrid heater exhaust
mircea_popescu: sound is air vibration. unless you package
the air along with
the signal, your digital
thing'll be just a construction.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony
there's not really such a
thing as "authentic" sound.
