mircea_popescu: completely broken line of argumentation. you're
telling your daughter
to stop sucking cock on
the curb, she's
telling you she made
this much money
today.
ThickAsThieves: well all
they got was people with
their weekend stashes it seems
mircea_popescu: anyway, fuck
them. if
they had confiscated
the empire fucking state building made out of crystal rock pixie dust,
ThickAsThieves: "A
total of 29 arrests were made on various charges of possession of illegal drugs, driving while license suspended, and outstanding warrants. Drugs seized: Marijuana 23.8 grams, Crack cocaine: 8.1 grams, Cocaine: 2 grams, Prescription pills 46."
mircea_popescu: afaik
teh sa goons be
trolling
the shit out of
that
thread.
ThickAsThieves: today my post about
the questionable "Narcotic Checkpoints" was censored into oblivion
everclear: twizt: no one's pretending
to be MP, only being accused
mircea_popescu: well yeah, generally speaking, backup;s are better
than no backups, no argument
ther.e
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla key's stored in an eeprom. it's not
THAT easy
to lose.
kakobrekla: the only way i know of
to backup
that key Mats_cd03 is
to plug
the cable on
the
transporter in
the middle of
the energizing sequence so while
the object is already completely scanned it is not yet disintegrated,
the rest of
the procedure is prolly clear.
twizt: well u got someone pretending
to be you atleast
mircea_popescu: i used
to pay exactly one person
to do it, she had a signed statement,

the whole of it.
twizt: mp is

mircea_popescu: in other news, i gotta chill it with

mircea_popescu: used
to be like 1600 / 400ish, but
then
the 1k bet happened and some large 200+ iirc.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves not really on
the audio. some voice work done.
Namworld: I can't see any way whatever he wants
to achieve wouldn't be somewhat retarded
to completly retarded.
Namworld: Guy: Maybe if I get my wife hooked up on MY app, I won't have
to quit her for losing all our money. I can also get her hooked on me giving her back
the gambling money
to fuel
the habit! What could go wrong?
Namworld: Guy: I'll just pretend my wife has issues, maybe someone develops me a gambling app for cheaper
that way? So much profits for me!
Namworld: If he controls odds and she's never losing everything... gonna look weird. "I never win big yet I never lose my balance. Been going for 2
trillion bets. What are
the odds?"
punkman: or if
the dude
thinks
that's a good idea
to introduce
to her
punkman: I'm wondering if
the woman is gambling with btc in
the first place
Namworld: That's not how you quit. Guy will just get in
trouble for it, playing in his wife's back like
that.
punkman: yeah she will likely conclude it's rigged/crap and
try elsewhere
Namworld: Seeing
the odds are no good
there?
punkman: could probably get her
to quit gambling
punkman: you control
the odds, remember
Namworld: That's what's gonna happen
to
that guy, punkman.
Mats_cd03: if she gets lucky youll have esplainin
to do
Namworld: Wife gambles elsewhere/actually wins big for once and
tries
to withdraw.

kakobrekla: ;;rate Mats_cd03 1 did
the first public bitbet.us audit
punkman: "I want a gambling slot app
that looks fancy and runs smoothly. It will accept bitcoins.
The app will also have a back end
that controls
the odds in realtime.
The reason for
this app is
that my wife is addicted
to gambiling & I would like
To keep
the bitcoins."
Mats_cd03: to urllib2. Readers are encouraged
to verify
this data.
Mats_cd03: year, BitBet has accumulated 1136.1662149231001 BTC in revenue. I used Beautiful Soup (a Python library designed for screen scraping)
to pull
table data (BTC addresses, quantity deposited) and looked up address balances with blockr.io’s API. If you wish
to reproduce
these results with Python, I would recommend using
the Requests library, which is superior
Mats_cd03: As of 7APR2014 16:37:00GMT, BitBet has a
total balance of 2889.82820674 BTC with outstanding liabilities of 1753.6619918169 BTC. In
total, 8874 addresses have deposited funds (
http://pastebin.com/8L6706Y7), and
there are currently 93 open bets with deposits
totaling 1771.37574931 BTC (

than a
Mats_cd03: kakobrekla: whoever posts it first on
their blog can has it, i figure mp will write a
trilema post eventually
nubbins`: i only listen
to restraining orders
assbot: I
thought I
told you not
to
touch me.
mike_c: so extra bonus for doing
the research, you learned some more python.
thestringpuller: interesting
that bitbet is so
transparent it can be independently audited
kakobrekla: cool, if you dont run a blog or dont have a place
to publish it, perhaps some other asseteer blogger would publish you, dunno, just sayin
Mats_cd03: kakobrekla: ill work up a report in
the next day
mike_c: ah. well, for future reference: import json; json.loads(data) will give you a python dict with all
the info.
Mats_cd03: so i just spammed
the api and went
to
take a poop while it ran
Mats_cd03: i couldnt find any python code
to parse
the jsend format and cant be arsed
to do it myself
kakobrekla: the point is,
the result is now scattered over a days worth of log.
the
thing is worthy of being published in a coherent matter.
Mats_cd03: i used an html parsing library in python
to scrape bitbet
then pinged blockr with
the balance requests
Mats_cd03: compared
to
the
time i spent writing
the code
Mats_cd03: i
thought about it but
thats a lot of work
kakobrekla: perhaps join all
this with
the methodology used in some blogpost and make it useful for people?
Mats_cd03: oops, i didnt
take 1% from
that number
ThickAsThieves: <thestringpuller>
ThickAsThieves: you moving into
the audio game? /// I've been in and out of it for a long
time. Flirting with getting back in.
nubbins`: idea:
throw hundred-dollar bills out of a moving vehicle
nubbins`: if bitcoin magazine has
to charge $99 for a year subscription because
their readership is so small, imagine what a year of
trilema would cost
thestringpuller: ;;later
tell chetty should we put a gribble bot in #eulora?
gribble: Error:
The "Later" plugin is loaded, but
there is no command named "chetty" in it.
Try "list Later"
to see
the commands in
the "Later" plugin.
nubbins`: 16:16:17pLambert:business idea! collect
the
trilemma posts for each month and print
them <<<
that's actually not a business idea
ThickAsThieves: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu Does SMG have all its audio/music/fx under control already?
Mats_cd03: ive come
to realize i suck at writing code
Namworld: Why would you be safe at all in
the sky
to start with? It's not like you don't connect
to
the same Internet. In fact,
there's extra steps where
to install snooping devices.
jurov: send your worst enemy when
they need it
kakobrekla: anyway, Mats_cd03 , just sum all
the confirmed bets on
the open bets and
take out 1% and
thats
that
mike_c: impressive
though, bitbet holding 3000 btc in bets.
mike_c: and maybe filter out
the 0's?
Mats_cd03: i
thought about it and forgot
to do it
kakobrekla: o, audit. well
thats a start. can you include liabilities as well?
benkay: counterparty is pumping money into css
too
kakobrekla: but
try it, life is so much better without
that spam
kakobrekla: well, you have
to be first, best or cheat, you pick.
mike_c: who's on
the board of b-a? we need
to out-vote
the chairman.
mike_c: sorry jurov, now
they are running
the secure version of wordpress :D
jurov: gotta hack he b-a.com again and put my addy
there
