Vexual: ydo you

Diablo-D3: hell, even
the building of
the new WTC,
the mayor's office had very little input on it and would have
to sign off on it no matter if
they liked it or not due

Diablo-D3: now, where people park? where schools are built (but not
the funding
to build)? how many black people get arrested for being black?

Diablo-D3: they have
to inform you what your minimum monthly is anyhow, by law
Diablo-D3: its not even sneaky if
they're up front about it
Diablo-D3: and Ive seen ones which have interest but have "no payment until
the future"
Vexual: so whats
that called? sneaky?
Diablo-D3: no interest != doesn't have
to cover minimum payment
Diablo-D3: some companies DO make "no payments until future date"
things
Vexual: heres a scam, 55 days interest free, but if you dont make a payment every month
theres a late fee

Vexual: i heard it said once, im not sure of
the correlation
Vexual: but in
the existing box, would it be

Vexual: im not sure if
thet should be a crude joke or a
tshirt for nubbins
dio_: i guess
that was a rhetorical question, my bad
benkay: i'm
trying
to give you a bigger perspective here
benkay: blocks ->
transactions
benkay: you're investigating
this months old
thing where someone
tried
to slip in under
the wire of a bet before it closed, but sent from a not-really-a-wallet-wallet and so didn't have a
txn fee, which meant
their
txn had
to wait for
the first friendly miner including zero fee blocks.
benkay: well
the 'you'
thing is a conversational construct
dio_: who are you
talking
to?
benkay: if you can't handle
txn fees, and you don't understand
their impact on
transactions, you don't hold bitcoin for long.

dio_: which, out of
the guys defense, would be (dangerously) assumed
to be included
dio_: i just wnated
to make sure,
that dude got screwed out of 7k becuase he
transfered from a dumb company
that didnt pay an approximate 7 cent
transaction fee
benkay: it is
the fate of all who do not grok
their computation platforms
to forever wail and
thrash in incompetent rage at
their continuing inability
to do business and acquire as much capital as
their self-image indicates
they should have
dio_: i was
trying
to be logical
dio_: no reason
to spout ad hominems...
benkay: basically some idiot had a dependency in his financial
toolchain whose impacts on sending money he didn't understand.
benkay: yup sounds right
to me
dio_: seems
to be
the case
dio_: i can run
that
through spell check if anyones having issues
dio_: was
the originating
transfer from a dumb company
that dint include an approximate 7 cent
transsaciton fee
that would have accleerated propgaation of
the
transaction enough
to be acceptec by
thte deadline? if not yes or no....any guess on probability?
benkay: people who don't understand how
things actually work are generally going
to fuck
themselves.
benkay: it may as well say "because he's an idiot who doesn't understand
the bitcoin protocol"
dio_: unless you didnt read
that
dio_: didnt clear because
the lack of
transaction fee...
benkay: subtle distinction many people fail
to understand. requires intimate understanding of
the blockchain etc.
benkay: no because his
transaction didn't clear before
the deadline
benkay: now as part of a jewelry, discreet and all,
that might be an interesting
thing.
benkay: nubbins'
this whole pubkey in public
thing is a bit declasse, you know? "here's where you can send me money" printed on
things is a bit
tacky.
nubbins`: at least with plain
text, you can decide yourself whether it's worth
the effort
nubbins`: mod6: nobody's going
to scan a qr code on a shirt, because chances are it's not worth it
KRS|Gotyawallet: ;;tell jurov later just-dice user study completed..interesting results..time is a function of random number chosen,
time passing increases entropy, next data gathering, will probably use perl
mod6: you could have a QR code on your shirt
that was just your public key or whatever..
nubbins`: you'd have
to catch
the shine
to read it
benkay: a
tiny barely-there stencil over
the breast pocket might be nice
nubbins`: not much, mind you -- good luck getting
the key off
the shirt and into your computer -- but still
ozbot: ThinkGeek ::
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
nubbins`: it's a nerd shirt,
they're all ugly
nubbins`: i wonder, is
there a market for custom one-off
tees with your public key printed on
the front
benkay: gotta love
that average order size
benkay: and until someone pays me for a
thorough fisking it will just have
to languish in
the obscurity
that is
the attention of
the altcoin/I matter circlejerk.
benkay: well its pretty badly written
to begin with
ivstr28: ron gross and
two other guys are on it
too
