mircea_popescu: in 2020 mike_c will be all like "well sonny, i remember back in
the old days, mp was
there, and i sent
this kid a whole bitcent on a lark"
dub: mike_c: might want
to also check if snackman is
the 1 person
that doesnt require confirmations
Duffer1: not like my opinion matters at all in
this anyways, i was just curious
dub: mike_c: make sure you pay
the fee
Duffer1: i don't believe
they would have
to lie
to keep your money,
there must be something i'm missing
mike_c: if you want
the 0.0001 btc i promised
mike_c: awwww, sweet, i win. post address and i will send
the donation
snackman: Duffer1:
they are lying
to keep my ONE MILLION cents
turbo_ac100: Namworld, I can't get my S.BBET and S.BBET redeemed.
That's still possible right?
truffles: i dont
think u want him
to be more convincing
ThickAsThieves: because he feels his policy helps create
the kind of world he wants
to live in
snackman: mircea_popescu:
then why would 10btc matter
to you?
snackman: mircea_popescu: you are a scum
to
the bitcoin economy and community
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu>
ThickAsThieves well, i'm doing what i
think is right, and in so doing i'm preventing others from having
the same sort of problem all
the
time. <<< fair enough
snackman: mike_c: also, i followed
the basic rules: bet on what you
think will win
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well, i'm doing what i
think is right, and in so doing i'm preventing others from having
the same sort of problem all
the
time.
snackman: mike_c:
there was not much
time left
mike_c: seriously, if it is such an important amount of money why didn't you do a little research first? doesn't
that seem wrong
to you at all?
ThickAsThieves: do what you want, i;m just sayin youll likely have
this problem continually
mircea_popescu: otherwise
the reasonable man can start sending
to random addresses.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves a reasonable man would not send bitcoin on
the basis of his assumptions.
truffles: snackman i get what ure saying, id already have refunded u if it were my biz
though, gl
snackman: mircea_popescu has forgotten
the current btc price, making my loss around 12000 usd, making it more
than worth pursing a lawyer. also for
the satisfaction of seeing
this bastard lose in court
Vexual: a reasonable man reads
the contract
ThickAsThieves: a reasonable man would likely assume his bet would either be valid at
the
time of sending, or refunded at a fee
ThickAsThieves: so you dont
think "reasonable man" is a concept
to consider?
snackman: Vexual: also only if
there are no surprising clauses
dub: though dumb romanians are smarter
than dumb americans
snackman: Vexual: yes, if
they explicitely ask you
to confirm
them, which
they didnt
mike_c: i always
took
the priority
the opposite,
that is - it is discouraging moving coins
too much by giving recently spent coins lower priority
snackman: truffles: yet, because
the
txn was sent before, it only arrived later because nobody confirmed it
Vexual: faqs are accepted
to form contract
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
the problem with
this approach is
that 1. it empowers nonsense and 2. it bloats pages.
truffles: so ur situation was outside of
terms ?
snackman: mircea_popescu is only not returning
them because he assumes
that it is unlikely
that i will sue him in romania
ThickAsThieves: Hey MP, how bout a compromise, put "Late Bets Will Be Retained" or such on
the Send Bitcoins page of bitbet
☟︎ mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well because of
the particular design, seems implicit in it.
snackman: truffles:
they weren't,
they were FAQs, and i never agreed
to
them, also
this particular clause was *surprising*,
therefore not applicable for yet another reason
mircea_popescu: in principle it's good for
the network
to keep moving coins around, i suspect.
mircea_popescu: so if you have 1k btc
that weren't moved for 3 years, you get about 1mn
times
the priority of a 1btc
that was moved yest.
snackman: truffles: it was placed on
the correct bet
though
snackman: truffles: because my
transaction was not confirmed in
time
mircea_popescu: that's
the product of a coinbase's volume with its age.
mircea_popescu: the prioritization of
txs
takes into account
the concept of "bitcoin days destroyed"
mircea_popescu: jamespeerless
the reason is
that we're oldfags, which means rich, which means with a lot of old coinbases, which means
tx are free. or something.
Bunnyh: is
the NO on bitbet charts really gray? seems
teal
to me
snackman: mircea_popescu:
tbh, it's kinda hard
to debate an online nickname
that has
taken 10btc from you and
tries
to keep it using "arguments"
jamespeerless: does bitbet have a minimum bet? seems like
they'd lose money on
transaction fees if I don't bet much?
snackman: mircea_popescu: nah, i don't
think
that
snackman: for everybody, not just
the overprivileged party members
mircea_popescu: i
think i should be insulted by being related
to
the hottest chicks on planet earth or something
Duffer1: cancelled due
to budget cuts mp :P
snackman: ThickAsThieves: because i wanted
to make
the most out of it
dub: fast bux are
the best bux derp
snackman: mircea_popescu: so
then
tell me, why are your genes contaminated by sub-human east european scum parents?
mircea_popescu: i was
thinking...
this guy's
theory is
that i simultaneously invented
the
thing and also don't know what it is ?!
snackman: mircea_popescu: you might wanna look up megalomania
then
ThickAsThieves: we're all wasting each other precious
time, dont give him all
the credit
snackman: mircea_popescu: i'm still listening. you are wasting my precious
time
kakobrekla: as all
the roads lead
to rome, all
the questions lead
to
trilema
snackman: mircea_popescu: i'm listening
to what you have
to say.
that post developed into a bashfest
mircea_popescu: snackman actually,
there was a post about
that,
too. didja read
that ?
ThickAsThieves: i was just like wow
this dude is very progressive with
these gay frames
snackman: well, mircea_popescu, sorry but i can't get it out of my head: *why* do you not want
to pay me my 10btc back. please just explain it
to me in a calm and rational way
mircea_popescu: so rarely women do anything worth
the mention. why rob
them of
the little
they do.
snackman: is
that you in
the header picture?
ThickAsThieves: now
taking bets on how long before snakcmna is banned or run out of here
ThickAsThieves: so does btc-e carrying litecoin prevent
the Gox effect here?
