mircea_popescu:
<ThickAsThieves> and generally i met these guys and like them as people, so would hope that any bad ideas can be squashed earlier than later
<< except that's not what they want. they want their stupidity to be empowered by incompetent management, exactly like brewster. which is why they worked for him rather than for me. the only thing they'd do differently, the ONLY thing, would be for it to "work" this time. by itsel
davout: mircea_popescu: "btw davout that blondie said she's got tickets to whatever concert tonight."
<<< wat
mircea_popescu:
<ThickAsThieves> they got about 80% done with varioud Neo projects and were never fully paid
<<< unless some greenhorn makes the mistake of "buying it", in which case the 80% turns into... nothing at all.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: davout: they're probably thinking they can just send a Raspberry Pi and an SSD up and it'll work
<<< they shouldn't have to spring for a ssd.
fluffypony: Naphex: getting back to what you were saying - listreceivedbyaddress

<includeempty=false>
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Let's narrow it. Yugo, Romanian or Russian? Which SKS handles "mice" best

ThickAsThieves: me in #bitcoin-dev :
<ThickAsThieves> i'd like to put a nose in my nose to prevent me from having to smell things i dont like

<ThickAsThieves> all "sustainable" systems at least
<<< all systems with moving parts.

<HeySteve> timestamping doesn't initially seem to add much to a WoT, but I'm starting to think the more data points the easier to spot Sibyls
<<< wot has timestamps as it is.
mircea_popescu:
<ThickAsThieves> first it is not yet proven that all systems require an "mircean" economy, though i suspect they do
<< all systems contain one, whether aware or not, i'd say.
mircea_popescu:
<HeySteve> I'm still stuck on this Sybil thing :) if you identify a puppet troupe, is there a mechanism to neutralise it beyond information-sharing?
<< no, by definition.
mircea_popescu:
<ThickAsThieves> Would it be correct to say that Reddit is broken economy in that downvoters are not identified?

mircea_popescu:
<Naphex> if i would've had more time i would deffinetly do a ISK/BTC exchange just for fun:D

mircea_popescu:
<ThickAsThieves> who knows what's possible when you add a new feature that already exists

mircea_popescu:
<HeySteve> a possible solution is moderation
<< doesn't work for bitcointalk.
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre: how do you gage memory recall?
<< i'll tell you how. write 10k articles on your blog, then see if you can recall "where x was" when people ask.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: To be really useful though, it should be run on your own server.
<< unless you actually lock the thing in a cage, it's not any safer on some server you own or on some server google owns.
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre: by the way, I'm really disappointed how bitbet posts latest bets to the front page. I sniped this coinlab bet from a few months , and someone just followed me
<< now you understand our evil.
moiety:
<BingoBoingo> TestingUnoDosTre: Slightly different doses of these drugs have such different effects
<< so true

<firstblockchain>Trying to find people with rentable / purchasable land in Costa Rica who are bitcoin friendly.

ThickAsThieves: furthermore,
<+mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves but any ounce of gold stays an ounce of gold permanently. where do your rating points go when they go ? /// where is it in your theory that this matters?
ThickAsThieves:
<+mircea_popescu> so no, that's what it is : it isn't a wot because it can't be /// well i can accumulate points no? and at any given time, a maximum amount can be had, and every time a user joins anew, the system inflates to accommodate
ThickAsThieves:
<+mircea_popescu>
<ThickAsThieves> i have a feeling though, this theory will end up distilling into one that already exists
<< kinda cxurious about this myself. /// one thing it reminds me of is your basic escrow deal
mircea_popescu:
<jurov> hmmm but it does not allow negative ratings
<< 0 to 20, -10 to 10, no diff.

<< kinda cxurious about this myself.
mircea_popescu:
<ThickAsThieves> bitcoins being the medium, blockchain the gazette, mining the forum?

ThickAsThieves: [16:26]
<+jurov> we need extra-blockchain information to assess them /// do we? each address may function as a user/reputation
ThickAsThieves:
<+Oleanie> ;;rate davout 2 /// haha davout only gets a 2 from his better half
dexX7:
<only> can you please voice me?
mircea_popescu:
<only> ThickAsThieves: as long as the 3rd party can be anyone, isn't it enough?
<< definitely not.
mircea_popescu: Naphex> set up community tribunal
