mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "in refusing
to acquiesce
to
the installation of a neo-fascist regime in Kiev"
benkay: not quite
the leverage of options, you know?
blackwhite: sure. I have enough developer friends
that will keep me in place
mircea_popescu: if you comprehend go
the best solution i'd say is
the package maintained by conformal
mircea_popescu: there's 3-4 of
those, but you never know when
they croak, so.
benkay: bloctoc,
the challenge is in
the proving
these
things
to
the bitbet mods, and coming up with criteria
that satisfy
their standards.
ninjashogun: jcpham, if you have any
thouhts I'd be interested.
bloctoc: futures, still right? I was
trying
to
think of a way
to play
the 30/1000 odds on
this bet, but
then got distracted.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so how is it
that herr orloff is using
the
terminology of
the russian propaganda, you figure ?
Mats_cd03: That would be ideal, although he could hedge some other way with fiat,
too
bloctoc: Mats_cd03
thanks. So, Warren would buy some bitcoins,
take
the bet, and buy puts?
Mats_cd03: Borrow? Uhh...no. He would hedge his position, and mpoe is
the place for it, incidentally.
bloctoc: benkay
that's genius.
the phrase "liquidity event resulting customer loss of funds" might work
ninjashogun: so,
the doge financier person's loan fell
through. what a waste of several weeks of exchanges with him.
bloctoc: Warren Buffet doesn't want
to end up with 1,000 sub $650 Bitcoins. Is
there a place
to borrow 1000 BTC? Assuming his WOT is legit?
benkay: or whatever
the equivalent
term for a bitcoin wallet operator is?
benkay: hey, assettes: how would you phrase a bitbet
to revolve on Blockchain's solvency?
ozbot: Interacting with fiat institution, a guide pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
benkay: "dear pm. please see
the detailed instructions i sent you yesterday. yours, etc"
benkay: today a project manager spinning up a new frontend contractor asked "hey how do we import
this vm into vagrant without smashing
the frontend dev's existing precise64 image?"
bitcoinpete: i'm off for a bit of sport,
then book clubbin' (antifragile, somehow people haven't read it) cheers
bitcoinpete: benkay: what can i say? it was a great quote. and one
that i would've vehemently opposed 3 months ago.
benkay: i don't play
twitter myself, but it's neat
to see links up
there.
bitcoinpete: benkay: ya,
they definitely made a fuss and not much else. glyph's whole implementation lacks appeal. "Drop me a line at horse-moon-cloverleaf" doesn't reach catch people
benkay: glyph is classic fartup circus nonsense. apple's
taken a firm stance on bitcoin+iOS, and Glyph doesn't have
the horsepower
to fight
them. note: social media noise != canonry.
benkay: i demonstrated
this
to
the
team accidentally a few months back, when logging into
the web console
to see messages we sent each other from our phones.
benkay: bitcoinpete: finally, glyph is a scam.
they store your messages in plaintext on
their servers.
benkay: bitcoinpte: i'm lo
these many years out of
the synagogue, so
thanks for
the correction. i'll ship it with some other updates.
bitcoinpte: ;;later
tell BingoBoingo looks like you forgot
to add "
http://"
to
the URL linking my SEC post from yours :)
benkay: bitcoinpte:
that would be
the dick joke i mentioned last night, yes.
bitcoinpte: ;;later
tell benkay haha I just noticed your excellent use of "Bin Popescu"! You also made me realize
that it should've been "ben" (also note
the lowercase "b", eg.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_ben_Johanan). Also, I'm really hoping
that MP being "the hardest
target in Bitcoin" is
the sexual euphemism I
think it is. Lastly, given your iOS cryptoproject, what are your
thoughts on Glyph?
assbot: !bash <lines> (desc: bashes last <lines> lines

ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !t}
Neil: I don't
think we'll ever see a 25% (perhaps even 20%) difficulty rise again.
Neil: cazalla: I
tend
to agree it'll be above 10%, but not a lot above
dR3: woh...blockr.io hostname for ATC.
tightness.
ThickAsThieves: <thestringpuller>
ThickAsThieves: can't you just make your own altbet.us // No, first i wouldnt wanna rip off kako
kakobrekla: fuck
this life, for one night you dont suck a dick and suddenly you are not a hoe anymore.
assbot: Um, shouldn't you be with your own
tribe or somethin'?
benkay: if you're going
the brokered
transaction route
LordPutin: and another one coming up
this sat
LordPutin: benkay
thy've paid out 2 divs so far
benkay: you could ask someone
to broker a
transaction for you
test123: coinbr is only alternative way
to access?
test123: does it still cost 30btc
to join MPEx
benkay: ugh because i don't want
that on my shoes
LordPutin: why not ask in
the #rentalstarter room
artifexd: BingoBoingo Your link
to bitcoinpete's blog is broken.
benkay: no no BingoBoingo
they'll comply within 2 weeks, you see
LordPutin: anyone have a squawker box link
they listen
to for real world financial markets?
benkay: people enjoy wasting money on satoshi dice
too
bitmia: does everyone here agree
that bitcoin cannot be a consumer
technology? want
to get
this straight
benkay: you're even in
the web!
benkay: don't get
too discouraged
bitmia: you can't
teleport silver, can you?
benkay: how many on
the welfare roles own a single
troy oz?
benkay: because bitcoin isn't a consumer
technology.
bitmia: benkay: but really, why do you
think bitmit/coingig went
to shit?
benkay: yeah but
thestringpuller don't you understand bitmia_'s customers can barely swing a bitcent ;)
bitmia_: if only it
took less
time
than a week
benkay: sounds like an implementation detail
to me.
bitmia_: hm, what about a browser extension
to include
the wot (proxied over
to gribble) and
the escrow
thing?
benkay: so bitmia go learn about simple payment verification and why people don't actually need
the whole blockchain on disk.
benkay: ya well constant upgrades are
the fruit of
the devil
BingoBoingo: benkay: I like Multibit, but haven't found comepelling cause
to
try versions newer
than 0.5.11
benkay: are
there any viable spv wallets kicking around?
benkay: electrum's still a
thing, right
thestringpuller?
benkay: you can even proxy over
to gribble yourself
bitmia: you want me
to persuade users
to use irc, electrum, pgp, what else?
benkay: dood you need
to do so much reading
bitmia: the blockchain size is
the ultimate demotivator
benkay: well man if you really want
to scrape
the bottom of
the barrel, ain't nobody going
to stop you.
benkay: "but what about
the coinbase and web wallet users?"
