mircea_popescu: "Line
to GET IN
the security line is wrapped around
the check-in area of
the Austin airport. "
mike_c: i wish
there were a one stop shop where i could find a veterinarian, a
therapist, and a hedge fund manager.
dexX7: good
thing
that i use ghostery + adblock
mircea_popescu: no because chicks with college debt and no prospects keep adding it

their blogs

mircea_popescu: it's like... between cloudflare, what's
that fucktardec omments
thing
mike_c: cloudflare is breaking
the internet one stupid site at a
time.
diametric: mike_c: you'll note
that
to deploy
that successfully, and not make
the browser shit red warnings everywhere, you'll need a forged cert.
Neil: I worked
there once.
jurov: Neil i'll hire mercenaries and go
to
timisoara
to
take it over
Neil: mircea_popescu: What happens
to MPEX if you're run over by a bus?
mircea_popescu: god forbid i ever get cancer,
the doctors will have a fucking handful with me
mircea_popescu: either it solves
the problem and
then i buy it, or else it does not and
then i do not buy it.
mircea_popescu: anyway : all it
takes for stupid "solutions"
to
take over
the world is for people who know better
to use
them anwyay.
Neil: mircea_popescu: Visit kako, place
the bet in person over a beer of course
mike_c: it's closer
to
the server, harder
to get mitm'd
mircea_popescu: send 0.05, go
to library, load page, come back send your 5btc or w/e
Neil: I could fly
to Romania
too!
Neil: Well,
the main site could suffer
the MITM
too. Harder again, yes.
mircea_popescu: or if
the gy is really evil and it does show, it won't show as per your
txid
diametric: Hell, you could even implement
the proper gambling and make people
think
they're just losing all
the
time.
diametric: Then you simply need
to create
the 1DICE vantiy addresses and MITM replace
them on load
diametric: Satoshi dice would be very easy
to attack since it's blocked in
the US, which causes most US visitors
to use
TOR, which is easy
to MITM especially since Satoshi Dice doesn't use
https. Neil: mircea_popescu: So you have no intention of improving
the address
thing, even if it starts
to be
taken advantage of?
mircea_popescu: on a naked system like bitbet people know what
the risks are
diametric: satoshi dice would be much easier
to MITM
mircea_popescu: diametric arguable, because false reliance would sweeten
the pot.
diametric: yeah
the effort required would make it not really worth it.
mike_c: you are. i believe mitm is
the most popular way
to attack
https. artifexd: TAT: My wife bought
that shirt for me. So many custom
tshirt sites print on shitty quality shirts.
This one was a good quality
tshirt.
Neil: You have a point for
the bigger bets. But hardly ideal. Why expose your users?
mircea_popescu: Neil it's discussed periodically. you can always
test before you send
Neil: I'd feel much better if
that bit were

mike_c: ^ i have wondered about
that.
Neil: I wonder how long until a bitbet user suffers a MITM attack on
the send-to address display
Neil: If BTC > $10k resolves as yes it'll be
the biggest fiat bet yet
Neil: mike_c: Also
the odds on both sides are somewhat random; it's not as if you can fix
them given subsequent bettors
Neil: Actually
the iron ore has more on
the other side now. Hadn't noticed but
that makes sense.
Neil: mike_c: coz you
think you know better I suspect.
mike_c: but.. why place a wager and
then let someone else set
the odds.
Neil: Perhaps my judgment of
the odds is off.
Neil: Yes,
to some extent
the other side will come in
to make up
the odds (witness
the recent CME bets) but
there's still some friction.
The large CME bets were ballsy and I guess should be worse
than evens but an equal amount
to
the opening bet hasn't come in yet.
mircea_popescu: but i meant specifically
the guy's concern re calculating final odds
mircea_popescu: in
that it's quite safe
to go "i bet x btc on
this and expect
the other side
to work out
the odds"
mircea_popescu: in a sense bitbet acts like
the exact oposite of
the doctrine of gpg contracts
Neil: Shitty
turnouts like SDICE and Gox 1Mar wiped out my profits...
mircea_popescu: it's just people are control freaks and want
to MAKE SURE
mircea_popescu: Neil
tbh it always was pretty well arbed, in
the sense
that i occasionally
try
taking one side and i have yet
to come
to a situation where i wasn't covered properly by
the other side
Neil: Well
there was easy money before in
the difficulty bets; no longer
the case.
Neil: Bitbet seems better arb-ed
than 9 months ago.
ThickAsThieves: "Purchases can be refunded, but
that depends solely on
the willingness of
the establishment
to do so."
Neil: I'll always accept bitcoin, if only
to bet on bitbet
Neil: mircea_popescu: Great. I'd have
thought (apart from signatures)
the site it automated, including
transaction generation. I guess someone corrected it?

than a Bit Risky - FINRA
mircea_popescu: noobs being noobs are
too stupid
to beeline for
the generators and feed
th hunger of
the uberrich privileged maxlvl players
mircea_popescu: however
to rank it up you need noob materials, which stressed
the ufck out of
the market.
mircea_popescu: sooo...
the rift people added a new profession, which is cool.

mike_c: you gotta upgrade
to get
the suck
ozbot: This is what it's like
to be a woman at a Bitcoin meetup - Arianna Simpson
mircea_popescu: the ease of access is
totally not a
tool of privilege.
bitcoinpete: "Bitcoin cannot possibly be limited
to only
the privileged as anyone (even people in Kenya) can gain access
to it
through standard cell phones, a
tool which
the developing world has increasing access
to."
mircea_popescu: but ah well. most idiots manage
to become useful in some manner.
bitcoinpete: "If we really want perspective on privilege,
the global implications of an easy
to use payment system must be
taken into account for its efficiency in providing aid directly
to people all over
the world—especially disadvantaged women, many of which must raise families on low resources while
their partner finds work in more economically healthy areas."
mircea_popescu: i was gonna let her know we were just
talking about her.
bitcoinpete: "You would have
to be living under a rock feasting solely on anti-Bitcoin propaganda
to
think
that Bitcoin is only about making money and oppressing
the lesser privileged."
