fluffypony: then you'll get the credit
TheNewDeal: but my question is, what happens if I create a ref link, then I myself send bets through the link
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Anyone can make referral links, they look like http://bitbet.us/bet/801/american-league-team-will-win-the-mlb-world/?ref=16wAZSsL8BFNFM8WCsrE8pwwFkhDErWiok

mircea_popescu: get in the wot so you can self-voice yourself for the future
Micon_: a place like this is needed badly at this stage
mircea_popescu: well, this chan is your friend then.
Micon_: there are so many segments to fill now and many more segments that haven't been created yet
Micon_: I know many legitimate humans want to connect and make btc businesses
Micon_: mircea_popescu - I am interested in how to define trust for us early btc barons and accept other friendlies as time goes
ryepdx: Was thinking that. Was also hoping I wouldn't have to manage a bunch of affiliates myself.
mircea_popescu: Micon_ also, re the wot thing : there isn't really a top. http://trilema.com/2014/what-the-wot-is-for-how-it-works-and-how-to-use-it/ << that's the long story.
TheNewDeal: I guess I could read tfm
Micon_: I do thank you for making bitbet to help kill betsofbit.coscam
TheNewDeal: how does this house deal work - how can you make sure that someone isn't just giving the rake to themself?
fluffypony: ryepdx: build it and they will come? :-P
Micon_: if I didn't have my own horde to manage for SwC I'd seriously consider your offer
ryepdx: mircea_popescu: Okay, thanks. Was kinda hoping someone had already set up a security of some kind, but I guess I'm treading new-ish ground.
Micon_: I suppose I could wish you the best of luck :)
mircea_popescu: Micon_ the payments for april were 0.09 BTC. this is fucking ridiculous. now, what can you do for me ?

mircea_popescu: ryepdx prolly your best bet is an otc contract with a trusted party.
ryepdx: I realize that getting in and out with actual dollars will require centralized brokers. Gateways from and to fiat will always be vulnerable...
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal well i glossed over that bit of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: it's just that it doesn't seem structurally decouple-able.
TheNewDeal: guy was talking about bitfinex, so ...
ryepdx: Yeah. BridgeWalker got bit by that, hard. They were using Gox.
mircea_popescu: decouple one bitcoin benefit from the others.
mircea_popescu: i mean, his idea is sound, in theory, i can see why that is desirable
TheNewDeal: ryepdx, not a leveraged short, but start an account on bitstamp, sell btc at a price you want to short at, set up buy orders below said sale
mircea_popescu: in short, for as long as you wish to hold a franchise (in this case, the dollar) you're bound by the rights of the franchise owner.
mircea_popescu: but it's still tied to the deliverability of the underwriter.
mircea_popescu: ryepdx not sure that risk can be avoided. for instance, yo ucould buy a delivered future like the x.eur
fluffypony: ryepdx: except someone is holding the USD in a bank account, right, and THEIR bank account can be closed
ozbot: Should KENILWORTH be reported to Austrailian Securities Commission?
ryepdx: Right. But without the risk of someone deciding you shouldn't have a bank account anymore.
mircea_popescu: right, seems like "sell bitcoins, keep dollars" would bte the way to go
kakobrekla: first dissolve the company then sell the shares!
bitcoinpete: ryepdx: so just like a regular bank account then
ryepdx: Outside of Bitfinex, is there any way to short Bitcoin in USD? I'm interested in exploring the possibility of creating a Bitcoin wallet that maintains a constant USD balance no matter what the exchange rate does.
kakobrekla: what is this -2
mircea_popescu: so traded 4 to 35, settled at 7.6 ?
mircea_popescu: did that thing just dissolve ?

ozbot: Satoshi Revealed: An Inside Look at the Man behind Bitcoin | Mises Christ
mircea_popescu: apparently saliva has some digestive properties, and if you keep your cock in mouths for too many hours a day... well...
mircea_popescu: btw, did you know you can actually get a cock skin problem that's essentially... tegument digestion syndrome ?
fluffypony: and then backtracks when it's clear that the person is not you

mircea_popescu: isnt minerpart the one that kept talking to people on btctalk like they were me ?
pankkake: I was going to reply to the latest jimmothy things but I forced myself not to

fluffypony: I don't think he's done anything except make circuitous, confusing arguments and accuse everyone of being part of a cult
fluffypony: the court jester, so to speak
BingoBoingo: Foundations are dumb, except in the rare cases they aren't
fluffypony: we should start the Bitcoin Assets Foundation
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla "Speakers from the Bitcoin Foundation, Circle Internet Financial" << so much speaking these doods do.
mircea_popescu: also this.
BingoBoingo: If you care about your name, you can work to keep it.
BingoBoingo: cgcardona: You have to realize a lot of non-Bitcoin freenode is tech support for a lot of projects, and... If they locked out every name forever, it would be a pain coming up with unique names every time you don't care to remember a password.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, children are born naked. you clothe them after.
cgcardona: seems like security should be the default
cgcardona: really? what are your thoughts there?
mircea_popescu: cgcardona: why oh why doesn't nickserv turn ENFORCE on by default? << because security should not be the default ?
fluffypony: we have lions and tigers and sunsets and stuff
fluffypony: yeah better deal than South Africa from that perspective then
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Of course. Many of the great players come from the region and many of the US players play in their Winter leagues as well.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: do they have baseball there?
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: When I jump ship I'm looking more towards south or central america.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: time to move to South Africa, we're not particularly litigious
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: I don't like to comment much on the pending case other than, allegedly some political speech was said.
