mike_c: yes,
this is different because you can't sell a position.
mike_c: not sure what you mean by
traditionally. generally in betting you can only close your bet by
taking
the other side
los_pantalones: just started looking into it and was
trying
to get my head around some of
the bigger bets
los_pantalones: i haven't bet anything on bitbet yet so if i sound like a
total idiot, i'm sorry
los_pantalones: but in
this case
there is a penalty
to closing your bet
peterl: you might need
two separate mathematical models
to analyse
the
two different
types of bets?
peterl: There are probably different results if
the resolution date is known (like X will win on such date) vs bets with unknown and possibly early resolving dates (like X will stay above Y until such date)
mircea_popescu: bounce publish on your blog, link
to
the offensive
thing, omfg we're creating value out of nowhere!
bounce: afraid I'm gonna have
to do a writeup. n'mind until
then.
mike_c: so if you can disprove
that, it would be interesting.
mike_c: los_pantalones: if you're working on
that, something
that I have always felt about exponential
time decay is
that it is really no better
than just closing
the bet early.
nubbins`: everyone went down
to
the waterfront
to watch it come in ;(
nubbins`: some years ago, a "seer" predicted a huge
tsunami would hit here
mircea_popescu: do you understand
the difference between a good and a not so good bug report ?
bounce: apropos,
that nurture-not-nature for elitism argument isn't very well developed. nice examples, but I don't see'em supporting
the premise.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: Because, seriously, who
the fuck am I? << you were here at
the right
time lol. what
the fuck do you imagine a barony is ? exactly
that, review
the early english history :D
mircea_popescu: bounce no, but we can still
talk. either are excesses : omg can't
talk
to no-one except other rear admirals / omg everyone i
talk
to is exactly like me. middle fucking bitcoineus i say!
mircea_popescu: Here, mircea and I should not exist in
the same caste. I'm just a normal dude. He's a Romanian Billionare. WITH A B! I can conceive of no reason
that someone
that high up
the food chain would give
two shits about what I
think or why I
think it. << it's
the internet, dood. why else did you
think it was revolutionary ?
mircea_popescu: (this, incidentally, has already happened numerous
times in history)
mircea_popescu: or at least make such a complete mess of everything nobody'll be able
to entangle it and everyone'll just move on
to another language.
mircea_popescu: i am going
to explain EVERYTHING(tm) before i'm done, i
tell you.
mircea_popescu: dub actually romania had a seismologist who went on
tv and predicted an earthquake. fucking panic ensued
mircea_popescu: srsly.
this really should be part of obamacare. any woman over 30 may get her
tits fixed,
take
the stuff out upon retirement.
mircea_popescu: ultimate saving device : you will
take
thoise out once you're old.
TestingUnoDosTre: I can smash your usb and gain access
to your bitcoins!? Now
that's a
true brute force
mircea_popescu: seems
to me like it's a normal usb stick encased in a plastic frame
TestingUnoDosTre: So does it generate a
tx when broken, or does I have some wallet file stored inside?
dexX7: it means
this
thing does not sign anything
bounce: "retrieve coins" would be
the point, I suppose. which apparently involves destroying
the
thing.
mircea_popescu: wait.
to restore means
to store again or
to unstore ?!
dexX7: i
think it's more like "store your key, come back later, restore key"
mircea_popescu: "here's
this bit of plastic. make it orgasm, you may spend your bitcoin. otherwise... make someone else orgasm, spend
their bitcoin"
jurov: as in,
the dildo must actually be used when signing
the
tx?
jurov: someone actually acted on
the hookers+microphone proposal?
bounce: apparently my google-fu is lacking. anyway, $source
thinks
they need
to go down before
they manage
to rake in funding.
that'd be
the message.
joecool: hm cloud
to butt really improves
this log
bounce: so hire'im on condition he only
thinks about marketeering, and leaves
the other pretense at
the door.
bounce did a quick search on log., didn't
turn up much.
mircea_popescu: that's rare. competent marketer
that for some incomprehensible reason figures he's a
thinking man.
mircea_popescu: in
that respect gotta hand it
to
the guy : one of
the best launches i've seen.
bounce: did urbit make it
to
the bbc, boing boing, something I can't decipher, wired, el grauniad, AND
tech radar?
mircea_popescu: the only project in history
to have actually fielded leaky submarines.
bounce: +0 and -0, 'cuz all you need is
the sign, right?
mircea_popescu: wait, no submarines ? i liked
the submarines and dukedoms and reversed
true/false numeric values idea better
mircea_popescu: "I'll be making money in
the form of a small percentage of grid income, since I will establish myself as an active and effective grid owner of one of
the most advanced grids out
there. Maybe I'll also have a few DA's
that are easily supported by
the Bitcloud platform,
too."
bounce: apparently
they've been at it for months, not getting anywhere, and now are looking for funding?
nubbins`: ^ so much work for
two words ;(

the future of Bitcoin Cold Storage

mircea_popescu: artifexd it's an educated guess, like anything else.
the educated part is significant, but i've not published it. it's a complicated
thing,
this. i
tend
to readily publish
the dirt on actors when
they fuck up, like
the sec misadventure. but it's kind-of unsportsmanlike
to do
the same when
they're just acting rationally. anyway, complicated matter.
mircea_popescu: and now for mah favourite part of
the day :
the reading of
the logs!
jurov: fluffypony: is

pankkake: oh you can see
them
that way… I know I missed one with a
typo and it must have expired
dexX7: where do
those notes come from?
gribble: Sent 1 day, 17 hours, and 39 minutes ago: <RBecker> Scammer on your nick - you may want
to register MmmmmYah
gribble: Sent 6 days, 10 hours, and 12 minutes ago: <Mats_cd03> 'challenge and response' meaning encryption, but more specifically encrypted spread-spectrum signals. many consumer drones are equipped with just wifi or bluetooth, which are comparatively easy
to attack
gribble: Error: I have no notes for
that nick.
mircea_popescu: it's been an open challenge
to my readers for 5 years now,
to crack
that shit.
