benkay: perhaps clustering against gribble searches
then, which weights
trilema?
mircea_popescu: this is
the perfect anon model, gribble googling. how would google ever figure it out ?
benkay: oh come on
they can kinda infer
that, right?
benkay: honestly it's probably
tuning itself for grbble queries, mircea_popescu.
Hirethestache: My bitcoin lingo is now officially dead in
the water. I really need
to do more research. You
think you know so much until you realize you don't.
mircea_popescu: ah,
the
two weeks, bitcoin's only
true measure of
time.
Hirethestache: Mircea, I don't have
the cold storage addresses stored digitally anywhere
benkay: Hirethestache:
there are also brainwallets you could use
mircea_popescu: Hirethestache if you say you have a cold wallet, you can just use
that as a bitbet outbound address
Hirethestache: Might have
to email myself from my Coinbase and
take
the address out of
the ema.
That's
the only workaround I can
think of
test123: for
that berkshire bet, why are people betting now- why not wait until just before betting closes, when bets aren't locked in?
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu lmao I'll have
to look for
those next
time I'm at
the public library
mircea_popescu: Hirethestache you can send from anywhere. just make sure you control
the outbound address you specify.
Hirethestache: But back
to my original question, is
there an easy way
to send
to bitbet from Coinbase? I wanna get in on
this bet ASAP, but I only have my iPhone, ergo only have access
to
the Coinbase wallet
mircea_popescu: like "An Illustrated History of Pompoms, and
the BonBons
that Whore
Them"
ozbot: BitBet - Bitcoin
to surpass Berkshire as an investment
Hirethestache: It's on
the nexus which is wifi only, and I only go online when I need
to use it for BTC.
Two step aught still
benkay: you keep 2/21M of
the monetary base on your phone?!
benkay: convenience?
this is bitcoin!!!11
mircea_popescu: having a few cents in
there for convenience is fine, but don't go overboard
bitcoinpete: Also partially inspired by Rabbi bin Popescu's "a bug in
the implementation of physicality" line.
Hirethestache: Do you have any documentation on
that? I need
to look into
that, definitely
benkay: (true of all phone-type-combudder
things)
benkay: you know
the Nexus is
trivially broken wide open and all storage read out, right?
Hirethestache: Just my iPhone and nexus
tablet, but I won't have access
to
the nexus for 48hours
Hirethestache: I'm mobile, and
there are not any iOS apps for BTC wallets
that I know about. I have my android with a small wallet, but it's not on me ATM.
benkay: it's onerous, but most worthwhile
things are.
benkay: you might consider developing a workflow
that includes owning your own bitcoins.
Duffer1: depends if he downloads
the private keys or not
Hirethestache: I do, more or less. I have my cold storage, but I use my small amount on CB for small
transactions.
benkay: Duffer1: coinbase wouldn't have
to be around by bet resolution,
though.
Hirethestache: I've searched for a simple guide, but
there are not many resources on
the specific resolve
Duffer1: do you have confidence
that coinbase will still be around by
the
time
the bet resolves
though..
mircea_popescu: (it asks you where should payment be sent if you win. make sure you own
that address)
Hirethestache: Is it possible
to send a wager
to Bit et from Coinbase?
ozbot: Markets hang in
the balance ahead of Fed decision
mircea_popescu: or perhaps something along
the lines of "Yes well, I once asked a married woman
to my hotel room. She said no and yet showed up."
Duffer1: so Obama called Putin
to
tell him
the U.S. would never recognize
the Crimea referendum. I can't imagine Putins response was anything other
than "HAHAHHHAAHAHA"
ozbot: O hai. I was justing doing a penetration
test of your site. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: 'random botnet-ish requests show vague link
to nsa in one blogger's estimation' is what i'd call it
dub: asciilifeform: is
there something deeper
than 'nsa
tests botnet I
think'?
mircea_popescu: "damn
these reality check
things getting in
the way of my delusional substitute for a
through process"
dub: eww
that
thing looks like lorde
Dimsler: how is
that any different
then facebook?
khersonus: "if you look at
the whole pie I’d be muchly surprised if a
tenth of all Bitcoin
trade ever sees a so-called exchange website" < if
this is really
true, I can see your point. I've just never witnessed
that much otc
trading, perhaps.
ThickAsThieves: "Can someone explain
to me why Berkshire stock has
the value
that it has? It has never paid a dividend. What benefit is
there in owning such a stock, other
than it increasing in value?"
khersonus: it still doesn't seem like it would be
that difficult of a problem. I'm surprised you haven't come up with a solution, given
the potential profit it could have and has had for mpex
mircea_popescu: khersonus but
there's some decisions
to be made, and
they're
toxic for me.
ThickAsThieves: to play devil's advocate, why wouldn't MPEx use a decentralized system
to manage its issuances, assuming
things like orderbook delays were not a problem?
benderp: asciilifeform: wtf? forgive my naive but what are
the actual odds of
that happening?!
khersonus: a proper index could publish all of its calculations. It could even be a collection of scripts
that everyone could run
to verify
the data on
their own. mircea could just publish
the verified results.
Duffer1: that's different
though,
the
terms are clear
to everyone and unalterable
mircea_popescu: khersonus so what is
the ownership of bitbet going
to do, change
the brk-a market ?
khersonus: Duffer1: maybe
that's
true. But maybe
this big bet on berkshire is also a conflict of interests? he owns most of bitbet anyway, I
thought
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 imagine if i also got
to select
the secret valid nonce for each block,
too.
mircea_popescu: khersonus i could, practically. i couldn't,
theoretically, becuase
THAT would be undue concentration, ie
the bad sort of centralisation.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves o hey,
the bet is officially a net positive nao. Yes pays: 0.99990488
khersonus: mircea_popescu: why not run your options system with your own pricing index? it seemed
to me
that your
two complaints about bitcoincharts were
that an exchange pushed doge data, and
they didn't remove mtgox. Couldn't you do better yourself?
mircea_popescu: they suffered
the just reward for
their idiocy, which has nothing
to do with bitcoin in any sense, and even less with exchanges, or with owners
mircea_popescu: so... don't
tell me about how
the people
that didn't listen
to mpoe-pr and went and lost
their btc on glbse somehow "Suffered"
mircea_popescu: while
the plebs like
to claim
that
they're "the community",
this was never either
true or seriously considered by anyone.
mircea_popescu: the problem here would be
that bitcoin is a
two
tier society.
khersonus: mircea_popescu: btw, been reading
through your blog, good stuff (and some... weird stuff)
khersonus: mircea_popescu:
that
there have been a large number of scams in bitcoin as a result of
the "owner
takes all
the coins"
thinking
mircea_popescu: benderp well look on
the bright side : maybe it falls into
the ocean.
