Neil: But unluckily for
them it's
the best
they've got, in most cases
mircea_popescu: Neil so people
think, but from what i know
the bureaucrats rarely actually enjoy
their job
mircea_popescu: so really, it sucks
to be her in ways one doesn't really fathom
Neil: But given her intro, I'm sure she loved
the effect
that "enforcement office for
the SEC" or whatever it was had on 90% of
the plebs
mircea_popescu: she's no different from
the average indian girl, except
the indian girl is 19 not 29
mircea_popescu: which requires her basically
to
try and get people
to
talk
to her on
the phone
Neil: Well,
that's her choice. My jobs sucks, so I quit
mircea_popescu: she spent 100k / 10 years in school in order
to find a shitty office job,
Neil: waxman had enough of being made
the fool of
Duffer1: they'd need more
than just a request from a functionary in order for
things
to get more interesting
Neil: Cool,
thought as much
Neil: mircea_popescu: Was amusing
to read your 1-way conversation with
the SEC. Did
they respond beyond what you posted, or did it just go silent?
BingoBoingo: I was under
the impression
the sig contained
the unhashed Pub key of an address
Neil: Not even sure it's possible without
the actual public key. Is it?
Neil: I
think you need
the signature,
the message and
the address. I doubt 2 of
those 3 is enough for software
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic because
the powerfully retarded rangers are retarded.
that format is fucking useless.
Apocalyptic: mircea, I believe
the address nor
the date is included in
the sig, it's just a b64 ecoding of binary data
mircea_popescu: incidentally, people running bots : how about adding a command
that will parse one of
these sigsigned shits into human format ?
Neil: Signature of "Neil" with
the payout addr of
the 10% bet
nubbins`: trying
to find a way
to
turn
this warrant into something
that generates money before it's cashed ;D
nubbins`: is
there a max limit
to how far out? i was
thinking april 1 2015
nubbins`: didn't want some bozo with a spare 20btc
to just buy up and own
the bet
nubbins`: the low volume presents a dilemma
tho
nubbins`: i'm
trying
to construct a reasonably sound bet on
the price of s.mg, and i'm wondering if anyone has input on
the conditions
mircea_popescu: amusingly,
the mod stacked it 9/1, exactly opposite of
the 1/11
the bettors stacked it.
Neil: Well given
the above info it's a matter of public record what my initial bet was. What happened
thereafter is for you
to guess and me
to know.
Neil: b.t.w. I claim full credit for
the 10% bet
mircea_popescu: like instead of going
to
the right of Histograph: make it go under
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla how about expanding
the histograph
to fill
the whole section ?
mircea_popescu: there's a plot of
that in every bet,
that little rectangle.
Neil: There are some
that just
turn out
to be flukes at
the last moment (like
the gox collapse in
the last 2 weeks of
the gox price > 150 bet)
Neil: Would be interesting
to see a plot of, um, what? Implied odds vs
time?
mircea_popescu: the beauty of a functioning free market, which bitbet amply is by now, is
that it really doesn't matter so much : whatever value you pick
the odds will probably stack correctly.
Neil: In fact I consider 20%
too safe; was gonna make it more interesting.
Neil: Quite happy
to put money down
Neil: mircea_popescu: Ah, absolutely. I intend
to submit a bet soon but you or your stooges rejected my last one, so was waiting a while.
Neil: mircea_popescu> Neil wanna bet on
that ? <<
Time lapse, no idea what you're referring
to.
nubbins`: huh, a guy from -otc has apparently been asked
to appear on one of
those pawn shop reality
tv shows with his casascius coins
davout: basically my point is
that
the mm algo is now what i imagined it
to be initially, so
that it should work as everyone expects it
davout: let's see how
this plays out
davout: two weeks, no volume,
the mm must be running
davout: well, i'm now done with
the former and getting busy with
the latter right now
davout: mircea_popescu:
tiny walls shouldn't really matter since if you place an order
the mm bot will now
trade against it
mircea_popescu: "all
the humanistic victories of Soviet socialism" oh save me rwanda. asciilifeform what
the fuck is
the gent on about.
only: wisdom of
the crowd in action?
HeySteve: not sure
they'll have much better luck with Bitcoin
HeySteve: SEC seems pretty
toothless
to rein in Wall Street
LordPutin: i hope mp doesn't snitch on all of us
to sec, i'm scared
KRS-1: gross
too manish for me
moiety: i
thought i'd fallen into otc for a minute
chetty: Bitcoiners are none
too pleased with Warren Buffett, and one acolyte is putting his bitcoin where his mouth is.
antephialtic: dhenson: I'm worried for MP. Romania has a MLAT with
the US.
They can request romanian gov
to compel MP
to produce MPEx records
dhenson: lol @ MP's exchange with
the SEC.
benkay: bitcoinpete: you're likely in a better position
to more
thoroughly dox me
than mp already has
moiety: i have
to ask every
time which way round it goes lol
joecruel: antephialtic: i assume you are aware mircea is not currently in
the channel
bitcoinpete: i had
to hone my message, is all. still a lazy effort but alas
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: I assume you are aware
that Romania has a MLA
treaty with
the US
bitcoinpete: benkay: well, in a nutshell,
those were
the dreams-of-smed-school days, a dream resolved by B- grades and a lot of poker. after undergrad,
this being alberta, i spent a year selling
trucks and started blogging. after selling
truck got boring, i did an after-degree in environmental health and spent 2.5 years working as a public health inspector with
the province.
then…bitcoin. always had an interest in
tech, investing,
moiety: and err youre right, i'd keep
that
to yourself re
the 'rents XD
benkay: and we didn't even make it
to disneyland!
benkay: it's just not polite
to say
to
the babe's family
that
their part of
the world will be delivered unto
the ocean along with
them and all of
their systems of belief and we'll all be much better for it.
moiety: lol joe you stay away from my wallet with
that name XD
benkay: honestly rather glad i was
traveling.
moiety: recovered a fair bit
though :)
moiety: leaving me with a
total shit storm
to deal with
moiety: someone found an exploit and abused
the fuck out of it.
they actually were honest and paid back but someone else witnessed it and weren't so honest. generated a huge fake balance which
they
tipped out. emptying our wallet.
benkay: ah
that's where you've been.
too bad
to hear, moiety. what happened?
benkay: the BSc in Immunology might not be a bad place
to start, bitcoinpete
benkay: ah its neat
to see lifeboat folks in here
moiety: with magic cards, more
than likely
