kakobrekla: I'm selling really beautiful wordpress theme for social betting site
as yours. I know that your site is not running on wordpress but you never know. Hopefully you might be interested to uptade the look and feel of your site.
truffles: theyre probably reading your plans
as we speak
mircea_popescu: yes. it was
as stupid
as only a 20yo ancient bitcoin user could have conceived.
mircea_popescu: i wish i could still say the same, but at least
as far
as paper valuations are concerned...
mircea_popescu: they wish "to be part of" various things. such
as "change", "progress", "the solution" and not "the problem" etc.
opc0d3: #1 AMAZING exchange ICBIT.se will be adding options soon. Very low pricing.... MPEX will be a wasteland of ZERO volume
as soon
as ICBIT.se adds options.... What a joke MPEX is...
pankkake: "I expect MP was abandoned
as a child and this is how s/he gets back at the world."
mgio: yes, i know, but
as any in the industry knows, that is completely IMPOSSIBLE
pankkake: mgio: the issue is decentralized order books. the "best" proposal by mastercoin still sucks for many reasons (you can back out of a trade and thus easily put fake buys, it's slow
as fuck because you have to wait for a block each time, etc.)
mgio: basically uses the blockchain
as a way to store who owns what
thestringpuller: Because,
as ThickAsThieves was need things worth investing in and places worth doing it
pankkake:
as always, blame others for your mistakes!
deadweasel: i'd like to believe this will start snackman on his path to enlightenment. but seesm
as though he will retrench into stupidity.
mircea_popescu: "
As a consequence BIPS will temporarily close down the wallet initiative to focus on real-time merchant processing business which does not include storing of Bitcoins."
BingoBoingo: I just hope Anand takes his last two games
as white
as an opportunity to break this god damned Ruy Lopez monotony.
pankkake: actually doing that would probably qualify you quickly
as a terrorist
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I liken that sort of stuff to the people who support Elliptic curve cryptography because the short keys let minimalist embeded smartcard hardware carry out thousands of operations a second
as opposed to hundreds for RSA with appropriately long keys.
truffles: "Unconfirmed bets are not refunded. Kindly see FAQ, and include tx fees next time. Think of the miners!" >>>
as a gambler id be pissed if it was 10 cent
mike_c: i guess frustrating because i tried the same when he was crying in this channel, and got just
as far.
mircea_popescu: i don't think it'll be possible it not works the same way
as prev one.
mircea_popescu:
as a result went to bitcointalk to complain there, mpoe-pr was mean to him
mircea_popescu:
as a result he came here to bitch, bored people to death
mircea_popescu: Those redditors,
as redditors are wont to do, offered a mixed bag of responses. Some were flippant, some mistook him for Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.),
mircea_popescu:
as if there ever existed a twitterho that'd have eschewed linking their 50 follower twitter account to that announcement.
mircea_popescu:
as it works with bitbet, i am here to receive all praise please. if anything breaks or malfunctions then talk to asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: but yeah the idea is to keep modularity. we want to be able to reuse
as much
as possible of trhe shiot we make in other things down the road.
deadweasel: alass, I have only questions,
as usual.
nubbins`: i'd say the average per-person trade volume decreases steadily
as the value of btc rises
jcpham: i'm going to take that
as a no for now so i can do what i need to do
gribble: You are identified
as user jcpham, with GPG key id C71FB5ED6ACE04AF, key fingerprint F7299BD73879E866613EAB24C71FB5ED6ACE04AF, and bitcoin address 15MDLP4wazp4TP2Josmk1WiZRU5LhFvBCn
mircea_popescu: i have never seen nonsense so resilient
as the stuff nefario pioneered.
mircea_popescu: Is it customary for a multi-million dollar registered business to withhold information such
as the names of its owners/directors? Can we at least get a link to your Facebook page or YouTube account?
thestringpuller: i think bombshells following you is a clear indication you are
as cool
as Bender Rodriguez
mircea_popescu: the femme fatale is the weakness of sexually insecure, latently gay heroes
as constructed for the sexualyl insecure, latently gay us public cca 1950
deadweasel: romania, we love thee: SEC chair wrote "Regardless of whether an underlying virtual currency is itself a security, interests issued by entities owning virtual currencies or providing returns based on assets such
as virtual currencies likely would be securities and therefore subject to our regulation."
bgupta: best
as I can tell they shut themselves down due to fears of AML/KYC regulations in the US. I don't think anyone can speak for anything else.
nubbins`: i was worried for a bit, because i ruptured the other drum
as a child and it's never been the same since
pankkake: Bugchasing is a slang term for the practice of pursuing sexual intercourse with HIV-infected individuals in order to contract HIV. Individuals engaged in this activity are referred to
as bugchasers.
mircea_popescu: then
as the same noobs discover that gox is fine and dandy but you can never get paid by it...
mircea_popescu: here's how this works :
as noobs come in but don't bother to learn what's what, the prices go up on all exchanges
mircea_popescu: and perhaps the faq would benefit from a clarifying statement about when transactions are recognized
as having bet. << afaik one confirm is good enough to put you on the rooster.
bgupta: so anyone catch the hearings? Jeremy Allaire came off
as a total tool, was basically like "yeah it's important that we hold innovation in financial services to a higher standard, so it's good thing that entrepreneurs have to go register with all 50 states to get licensed
as MSBs to operate in the US. My company Circle (Jerk) is going through it. It's really good that it's very expensive, since it limits it to
mircea_popescu: apparently they changed their "contract" (what peas-for-brains regard unsigned matter
as "contracts" is beyond me)
bgupta: popular stereotype is that chan chinese are hoarders. Recent real estate prices indicate they are speculators
as well. /me wonders if any good can come of this perfect storm.
nubbins`: well, not so much
as i crave financial independence
kakobrekla: same address
as it would be for winnings
snackman: mike_c if the transaction was broadcast at a certain time and later confirmed, the broadcast time stands
as accurate
benkay: and perhaps the faq would benefit from a clarifying statement about when transactions are recognized
as having bet.
snackman: Nuggie_ it's bullshit that bets aren't counted
as occurring at time of transaction broadcast... that's what hte bitcoin network is abut
bgupta: likely to end up closing the loop at a higher price then sold. might
as well just trade somewhere or hold.
snackman: mike_c it doesn't have to kill the bet too early... it could just go asymptotic
as the bet's satisfaction approaches
Nuggie_: i have the same concern
as snackman
jurov: well, since some physicists think that black holes radiate out the stored information
as hawking radiation, they may be ideal for data archival :D
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: I'm thinking reverse
as in TSR had the head arrested in an very organized and police way, where this is just user data getting dumped like when anons hack government stuff.
Bugpowder: Do not bet after a bet is closed, and just to be on the safe side don't bet on a proposition that's imminently going to close (such
as don't bet after the condition of the bet has been satisfied in the hopes of peeling some BTC off the suckers that took the risk). Also, it's always a good idea to include a fee in your transaction: they aren't really that much and the network depends on them by design.
Bugpowder: You're screwed. BitBet will keep your bet, report it
as revenue (under the gracious donations to shareholders heading in the monthly reports) and distribute it to shareholders.
Bugpowder: “Serious criminals looking to hide their tracks are more likely to choose a centralized virtual currency run by an intermediary willing to lie to regulators for a fee, rather than a decentralized currency like bitcoin that,
as a technical matter, must make a record of every transaction, even if pseudonymously,” Brito points out.
KableKiB_: well i want to help btc
as a currency, so I try to use it to buy my daily things (by buying gift cards mostly), but those are things I would buy with fiat anyway
icynot: but still, only sell
as many btc
as necessary to acquire bread and electricity.
KableKiB_: hey i dont really have experience with betting (even non btc), can someone tell me if I bet on something with no bets on bitbet what I can expect
as a return if I win the bet? does it depend on all bets after or just the first bet against me?
nubbins`: the trick is to start relaxing your piss muscles
as you approach the urinal
pankkake: "We are registred
as a game creators and digital entertainers."
kakobrekla: you can never be too sure it doesnt come out
as 699999999
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform perhaps that's a cogent point,
as to selection being mostly lineage.
mircea_popescu: is he going to dive into bitcoin or is he carefully going to sit on the bylines, "neg"in Bitcoin
as if it cares, all the way from .5 to 500 ?
mircea_popescu: well... i don't care why the cunt don't, but
as long
as it don't it can't.
nubbins`: not
as brutal
as the fact that this guy obv devotes hours of his life to each titty-flash
mircea_popescu: i don't think anything is so consistently lulzy in teh harem
as web pick up experts.
pankkake: yeah. or they are malicious perhaps,
as it must be used for something?
Apocalyptic: "We all have backgrounds in engineering and electronics disciplines,
as well
as military security, and physics." I wonder who did the paperwork for all the regulations, no financial guy there
ozbot: Ayn Rand's Vision of Galt's Gulch Has Become Reality
As Of Today
mircea_popescu: the process is that an extra proton eats a low electron to create an energetic neutron and spits it out
as a neutrino
mircea_popescu: people insist to not understand that the value of 1gw you can peel into 1kw consumers is not the same
as the value of 1mn 1kw producers you ahve to link to 1mn 1kw consumers.
