bitcoinpete: Brewster: "Actually I
thought we had 5,000, but I have checked
the wallet and
the coins are not
there, I spent
them somewhere but I don't remember on what.......we have only 140 coins left."
ozbot: NEO & BEE:
THE FULL PICTURE : Bitcoin
bitcoinpete: the
twitter is 6x older
than
the blog. all in good
time
davout: jurov:
ThomasV is working on accounts??
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: and in at #8 is
the bitcoin foundation's annual letter lol
ozbot: Bitcoin was written by
the retarded, part II pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
fluffypony: but I had
this little brain-fart of an idea of using accounts mapped 1:1
to an address on an exchange (turns out my understanding of "accounts" was incorrect)
jurov: electrum devs
try
to do accounts right, we'll see how it comes out
jurov: i
think it was about bitcoin-qt accounts
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: hence my #bitcoin-dev question on accounts, I was wondering how "auditable"/visible
they were publicly (the answer being not-at-all)
fluffypony: and unfortunately in
the case of many an operator in
the Bitcoin/cryptocurrency space
they don't scale
their control measures in line with
the money
they control
fluffypony: in other words, operators may start off with good intentions, but when
they suddenly realise
they're sitting on a large pot of gold, are
they still
trustworthy?
fluffypony: so I pointed out
that lending a buddy 200k Dogecoin
today is worth a whopping $120, but Dogecoin's market cap is
tiny ($44 mil as opposed
to $6.2 bil), and would he
trust his buddy
to not run with
those coins if
they were worth $17 000?
fluffypony: I
think it goes back
to a discussion I had with someone
the other day - he was espousing
the values of
the Dogecoin community, and how nice everyone is, and
they don't have "scams like Bitcoin has"
ThickAsThieves: so, it would go
that you might be better off investing in owning a dice site privately,
than being a public investor via shares or a shared pot
ThickAsThieves: the difference with bitbet is
that
the interests are better-aligned
ThickAsThieves: you still must
trust
them
to hold your coins and pay
them out
fluffypony: at least not in
the
traditional sense :-P
fluffypony: davout: and
this is why I don't gamble
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 and
then gigaom harps about how coindesk is relevant in bitcoin.
davout: fluffypony: running away with
the pot/cheating -> different problemz
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: so
then what about a hot-wallet, lost roll amounts are sent
to a cold-wallet, and
the cold wallet is multi-sig, with a board of investors holding keys and
the site operator holding keys. payouts happen once every 24 hours instead of immediately.
HeySteve: right, well
the more cycles wasted on lazy people using halfway solutions
the better?
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: yeah, so when
the pot is big enough he can duck
davout: HeySteve:
there is no "person who can't do
that",
there are lazy people
Duffer1: " PayPal global asset protection officer,
told her
that as of September 2013, PayPal froze BFL’s account containing $11 million and
that PayPal received 6,000 complaints in
total."
HeySteve: Apocalyptic, I'd encrypt myself for anything sensitive but
this will improve
things for people who can't do
that
davout throws a branch of celery
to
ThickAsThieves
to calm his anger
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: surely
the solution should be
that all rolls are on a single address, no change addresses?
Apocalyptic: or you end up with a
thing
that is neither one nor
the other
Apocalyptic: "we do everything possible
to make Lavaboom easy
to use while keeping
the service as secure as possible." HeySteve, you can't have it both ways
ThickAsThieves: well in
this case, it happens
to be
the first question i eve rasked in bitcoin
davout: chairman_meow: no, he read
the logs
Duffer1: sounds like
this guy is going
to pass away in prison like his father
ThickAsThieves: "Vleisides' finances have been in question for
the past several months," particularly because his residence "was recently purchased by BFL for approximately $400,000 in cash.
ozbot: Why your fingerprints may not be unique -
Telegraph
ThickAsThieves: i was
trying
to point people
to check out bitcoinpete's expose on maidsafe and
they didnt approve my comment
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves my contributions
throughout my life have been nixing
things and doing weird shit. in
that order.
chairman_meow: hmm
there doesnt seem
to be something like just-dice
chairman_meow: everydice.com looks like what i'm looking for. kinda shady
though
ThickAsThieves: but maybe read and learn about bitbet before worrying about how
to buy it?
chairman_meow: ThickAsThieves: nothing
that allows me
to invest small amounts?
mircea_popescu: anyone recvalls
that film where an aspiring actress ends up killing her baby ?
chairman_meow: ThickAsThieves: i want
to invest in gambling sites. I just don't want
to put everything in just-dice
ThickAsThieves: even
the bathroom sink is more suited for male pissing
than
the
toiley
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
thought
that's where
the us was headed with
the garbage disposal
things
Apocalyptic: ThickAsThieves,
there is no bother
too great for security
ThickAsThieves: it does seem a bit silly when you consider any mail client made for encryption essentially exists
to remove
the bother of copy-pasting
fluffypony: although probably 95% of my mails aren't encrypted or gpg signed because
that would require educating all recipients on how
to decrypt
them
mircea_popescu: this works with all carriers, cause it's not
their job
to encrypt.
their job is
to carry.
mircea_popescu: i just encrypt in gpg, everything
the same way, and
then paste
the
text in an email.
fluffypony: Mailvelope does GPG in
the browser (Chrome only, FF coming) for GMail
mircea_popescu: this is exactly wrong. i do not need gmail involved in encryption any more
than i need incentivised wot
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves why do i need
to mix
the channel and
the security layer at all ?
Apocalyptic: even if it's done locally, you
trust google
to provide
the right js script or whatever
ThickAsThieves: the line is drawn at whether
the encryption happens locally or on google servers, right?
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> seriously, how much radiation damage someone would need,
to swallow
this crap // i like
the way you put it
mircea_popescu: it's not encrypted
to stop google reading it. it couldn't be
mircea_popescu: it's just encrypted
to stop
the leaks wherein haxxors get
the pm's email.
fluffypony: although
that'll be interesting - how will gmail search work if your mail is encrypted?
ThickAsThieves: google just wants you
to enter
their cage for
the most part
mircea_popescu: Naphex no, gmail was because yahoo sucked and
they did mail.
fluffypony: Naphex:
they still know what you're searching
Naphex: didn't google launch gmail just
too show ads on your mail context?
mircea_popescu: dude srsly ? cofounders split up over
that horvath nitwit ?!
