freeroute: well yeah at
this point I can't see bitbet implementing such a
thing because of
the nature of
the bets (the bets would
then be binary and somehow be validated for provably
true)
mircea_popescu: you'll always need people. and
that's a good
thing, because if you didn't
the planet'd be pretty darn barren by now.
mircea_popescu: i understand
that
there's a very strong desire in
the socially-challenged for replacing girlfriends with porn, but
that's not how finance works.
Mats_cd03: and
then you've also created a game
theoretic scenario where all involved parties can potentially be robbed
mircea_popescu: the reason bitbet is
trusted is for proper reasons, ie, being run by
trustworth people.
cazalla: steven-__: he won't attend conferences unless
they have a sexual harassment policy in place as well,
the guy is a
total SJW
Mats_cd03: people say
the same
things about bitbet operations, but
this
time
they accuse
third_party in
the same breath
Mats_cd03: if you implemented it
then heres whats going
to happen:
freeroute: but
then again, betting would
then be limited
to only certain bets
freeroute: I guess, not sure about
the exact implementation, but it would certainly help bitbet's
trust not being able
to run away with
the BTC
Mats_cd03: is
that
the killer feature you are seeing in bitbet with multisig
tx
mircea_popescu: unless
the site itself implements it, which it probably does.
mircea_popescu: so what exactly ? if you
trust
the site
to adjudicate, you
trust
the site
to hold
the btc.
there's nothing meaningful
to gain by a separation
mircea_popescu: if you
think about it : sites like bitbet require
the power
to pay winners.
freeroute: I guess it depends on
the application, it won't make everything safe
freeroute: what particular dead horse
tropes are you referring
to?
mircea_popescu: freeroute apparently
the people who make
the calls in bitcoin don't give a shit about particular dead horse
tropes.
freeroute: yeah, centralized solutions
to a decentralized protocol aren't always a good
thing
steven-__: safe is always
the first word
that comes
to mind when i
think of 3rd party and bitcoin
freeroute: won't multisig
tx's make stuff like bitbet more 'safer'
to use?
mircea_popescu: there could be an old crack whore chained
to a wall in
the bathroom, gilt.
nubbins`: honestly, i'd be embarassed
to be seen at any bitcoin event
mircea_popescu: lol
the golden hooker...
that sounds like a decent bitcoiner bar.
nubbins`: except for
the people in /r/til
mircea_popescu: "Soooo.... I used a site in november called betsofbitco.in or something like
that and i made a couple bets. Both have passed
their date and still are awaiting decisions for 3 months now. I should be winning
these bets but
there seems
to be nothing happening. Anyone know if
that site is a scam"
nubbins`: there's a few "don't give money
to bitbet, scam, see
this link" posts on everything related
to bitbet
that goes up
mircea_popescu: lol reddit discovers bitbet.
the first page is like full of bitbet stuff nao

that 1 BTC will reach $10 000 before December 201 : Bitcoin

the "become a fan" button

top post on /r/Bitcoin right now
nubbins`: a lot of legs of
the
trail, you need either
two cars or you double back.
this particular one, you can make a loop of it
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete
this has been remarkably
true in many cases so far.
nubbins`: joecool: if you're into hiking,
the east coast
trail from bay bulls
to witless bay (and back on
the railway bed) is a good one
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: maybe
the "yes" bettors figure bitbet can keep
their coins safer
than
they can?
joecool: for normal circumstances, just need
to keep an eye on when storms flare up, last year i saw
them once all
the way down here
joecool: nubbins`: you ever see
the lights?
ThickAsThieves: anyone know
the best bitcoin wallet for debian? I'm having
trouble getting one
to install
nubbins`: go on a whale watching
tour when you're out
there
joecool: i've never been
there, gf lives on ontario, i live in dirty jerz
nubbins`: ah, k, probably no relation
there :D
mircea_popescu: twist : nubbins` discovers his gf was doing double
time
nubbins`: on
the off chance, what's
their last name?
joecool: nubbins`: i'm not entirely sure, i
think it's around bay bull's
though
joecool: nubbins`: pleasure, gf's parents own a house
there
joecool: nubbins`: never noticed you're newfie, i'll be
there for like a month
this summer
bitcoinpete: the higher
the denomination,
the more lewd

topless jewish girl on
the 2 mark piece
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> i'm really blown away by

the deutsche mark in
the 1940s
mircea_popescu: fun fact :
the buffalo is worth like 2k, and yet nominal face value would be like $50
nubbins`: and
there's a sharp ridge by
the fatter part
nubbins`: seriously,
the edge isn't even a uniform
thickness
bitcoinpete: they probably can't stamp
them fast enough
to keep up with people who haven't heard of BTC
nubbins`: wondering if
that's a common
thing
nubbins`: i just
took a gold buffalo out of
the packaging
mircea_popescu: btw guise : where

Mats_cd03: because you can never win on
the internet
mircea_popescu: why do people have so much difficulty groiking
the supremacy of action over speech is beyond me.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu Yes well, I once asked a married woman
to my hotel room. She said no and yet showed up.
mircea_popescu: Ansgar John which state
the results 'in any given quarter or year are often meaningless. '
mircea_popescu: Ansgar John @ErikVoorhees @WarrenBuffett @Mircea_Popescu a year is a much
too short amount of
time
to say much. Bet him 15 years and he might
take it.
