blackwhite: it's old though
mike_c: there is a lot of competition already if you are talking about stuff like https://bitcoinwisdom.com/
benkay: you can always put up another website. the question i think you'll want to ask is if it's worth your time.
blackwhite: design is my speciality but I do enough to code this stuff too
blackwhite: you think there would be room for competition? I mean after all the field is still very new
benkay: "state of the art"
blackwhite: benkay thanks
benkay: blackwhite: blockr.io's kinda the standard right now
ozbot: California police use of body cameras cuts violence and complaints | World news | The Guardian
blackwhite: how many of you are using some sort of dashboard tool to follow bit coins? And is there room for someone making a better dashboard dealing perhaps not only with bitcoin but also other currencies?
blackwhite: the main thing is how do you keep the actual vote secret, where as you want the actual vote event public
blackwhite: the latter actually is interesting and kind of what I was thinking
thestringpuller: there we go punkman that's the one
benkay: asciilifeform: only in the sense that iOS software is all malware.
asciilifeform: not the least bit young field.
gribble: End-to-end auditable voting systems - Wikipedia, the free ...: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_auditable_voting_systems>; Cryptography - Electronic Voting - Stanford Crypto Group: <http://crypto.stanford.edu/pbc/notes/crypto/voting.xhtml>; Cryptographic Voting Protocols: A Systems Perspective - Usenix: (1 more message)
punkman: or this, http://trilema.com/2013/bitcoin-as-replacement-for-the-electoral-system/
punkman: blackwhite: here's the article http://trilema.com/2013/why-i-nixed-p2p-colored-coins-and-all-that-jazz/
benkay: yup that's trilema
blackwhite: oh you mean the article :)
thestringpuller: blackwhite: if you find it PM me the link
thestringpuller: i can't find the specific article but do a bit of googling and you'll find it
thestringpuller: blackwhite: mircea_popescu talks about that on trilema
blackwhite: so digital voting. Government send me a "coin" for voting. I send it back to vote. Everyone can see it, cheating much less possible? Thoughts?
mike_c: i'll take another look at pypy, that's a good idea. i haven't poked around at it in a while.
mike_c: i just hate switching to c modules because you have to cross-compile. pita.
Apocalyptic: but if you think you can get close to a native C prog speed you're mistaken
Mats_cd03: a jit would fix that
mike_c: well, the slow part (i think) is a have a big 2-dimensional array that i'm doing a lot of lookups into
mike_c: my frustration today: it doesn't matter that python is slow as dirt, until it does.
benkay: protip: don't delegate crypto to outsourced ios developers across the ocean.
benkay: constant secret, constant iv, different salts of the same length -> valid decryption
benkay: tell her to come hang out here too
kakobrekla: but the girl is eager. :)
kakobrekla: and thats that
kakobrekla: i was actually contemplating just copy pasting the output of current wp in a html file
jurov: btw i'm curious, what there needs CMS?
kakobrekla: the wp part, to be specific.
Apocalyptic: heh I figured that much
mike_c: Apocalyptic: gotta be quick with the quips around here
MykelSIlver: lets hope for the best (bets)
MykelSIlver: oops.. you are not sure of that ?
Apocalyptic: maybe bitbet is based on wordpress too
mike_c: yes, it was a wordpress plugin that opened a small hole.
MykelSIlver: http://bitcoin-assets.com/ : 503 Service Unavailable .... at this moment
davout: i need to not stop at the end of the first sentence
Apocalyptic: <davout> radan: probably safer to not bet on it then
davout: mike_c_d: told me what?
mike_c_d: davout told you. you don't.
radan: how am I supposed to know "if Havelock Investments continues its operation from the bet's starting date through November 20th, 2014"
davout: radan: probably safer to not bet on it then
radan: but the rest of it doesn't mean anything to me
Apocalyptic: not sure why kako posted that link to begin with
radan: what if you don't know which thing will happen
davout: quite funny about how reddit is all over their "audit"
Mats_cd03: its slowly dawning on him what a multinatl company has to deal with on a daily basis in order to engage in commerce
davout: diametric: they're at unicredit in slovenia
radan: is it possible to make money on bitbet
diametric: hmm for some reason I swore Bitstamp held a bank account in the US but I'm probably mistaken then.
davout: they're probably held in eur too despite balances being shown in usd
davout: bitstamp operates in europe with an european bank, the currency in which their accounts are held is anecdotal
davout: yeah, maybe but that's not what the conversation was about
diametric: Well, Bitstamp still does. I think kraken discontinued support for USD if I'm not mistaken
diametric: davout: but they have accounts and accept USD within the US.
davout: jurov kakobrekla not rly, his answer boiled down to "because i say so"
davout: diametric: the us is irrelevant, they operate in europe
diametric: the US doesn't let little things like following regulations get in the way of them taking your lunch money.
diametric: it doesn't really matter if they comply with US law or not.
kakobrekla: jurov what was the challenge?
novusordo: it's certainly nice to see some exchanges actually trying now
jurov: did they manage coherent response to davout's challenge yet?
jurov: two cans and a tentacle
steven-__: benkay: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/03/19_webwallets-will-always-fail-fr33aids-wallet-robbed-blockchaininfo-complicit-in-2fa-compromise.html has a broken link to http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/03/2014/03/05_those-coins-theyll-be-happy-with-their-new-master.html
asciilifeform: author of that turd 'knows' that he won't be personally sold, and it shows. (not by itself damning - authors of designs for meat processing plants don't expect to ever become chickens, either. but in this case it spoils the flavour in a rather obvious way.)
jurov: you either feed them or fight them, there's no other option
jurov: this looks like over the top... but one has to accept many people are useless somehow
novusordo: i want to believe that they're just trolling

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.53035874 BTC to 4`277 shares, 59162 satoshi per share
benkay: mike_c_d: i'm fighting to get my block erupter up on a macintosh during late-night sleepy hours
ThickAsThieves: but, like real estate agents, there is more incentive in qty of deals over quality
ThickAsThieves: i suppose a good headhunter would also make sure you got the best salary and benefits
ninjashogun: is that true though? Don't Gogle, Amazon, etc use headhunters for placing senior hires?
ozbot: Document: JPMorgan Chase Bets .4 Billion on the Early Death of Workers
chetty: about all those dead bankers?
benkay: headhunters place the clueless. the clueless can't negotiate.
ninjashogun: It seems this would incentivize employees to use that headhunter to get to the same job - but it's not done. Any ideas why?
ninjashogun: does anyone know why recruiters (headhunters) don't share their bonus with their successfully placed recruit, as a cash payment (/incentive)? Especially where they make a large commission?
mike_c_d: "The parties to the swap agreed to use an average price taken from multiple bitcoin exchanges" << good luck.
nubbins`: i still want one of those 0.1 silvers, but they're not easy to come by
ThickAsThieves: it's the anti-mpex option! balance must be restored!
ThickAsThieves: "Under the swap–known as a “non-deliverable” forward because the contract is settled in cash without the need to deliver bitcoin–the parties agreed to pay each other in the future a certain amount based on the values of the two currencies. "
nubbins`: very, very steep hill (60deg incline) just out of frame to the left
nubbins`: ^ that picture was taken a stone's throw from my house
nubbins`: jurov: i like it because it's not often you get to see stuffy newscasters having to say things like "pussy riot" :D
jurov: i'd say it was russian govt-sposored stunt to get west away from talking about everything else
jurov: fine, now only if russians managed not to mess up everything they touch
asciilifeform does not in fact translate interviews from corpses
asciilifeform goes to coffee
asciilifeform: ow, because of our folly, nationalism, unwillingness to hear each other - Yugoslavia is no more, and we - are now pimples on the political map of Europe, new markets for their overpriced garbage and for American democracy.' (- from the last interview given by Slobodan Milosevic, not long after he was 'accidentally' given the wrong heart meds. Translation mine.)
