smickles: wtf bet on
the price rising rather
than buying more or buying an option (or similar)
mircea_popescu: and
tbh i'dmuch rather one guy get hit for 100% once a year, go berserk and
thus warn all other wannabe scumfaces,
mircea_popescu: the correct way is
to have
the bets close as close
to actual
time as possible
pankkake: but it depends, sometimes
the better genuinly doesn't know…
pankkake: and I
think
those cases should have a higher fee
pankkake: no but I mean, if he wanted
to bet after
the fact, and it got included, say, 10 min after
the fact
mircea_popescu: course, he didn't WANT
TO sent it 12 hours later, because he's nobody's fool.
pankkake: if his bet would have been sent with a
tx fee, it would only be 1%
pankkake: well, I still
think a softer fee approach would be better. instead of 1% refund and 100% oops, do 20% for both
mircea_popescu: if only i had known when i put
that policy in
that it will serve so shiningly well.
mircea_popescu: this is official, way
to go make a complete fool of oneself.
pankkake: there's not even evidence
that it's his
tx
mike_c: but
there is no evidence of
that
mike_c: he claims he initiated
the
transfer before
then
pankkake: in a few years faucet operators will want
their money back
Guest41620: I sent you money in a way you didn't want me
to, and in a way you can't refuse. Give it back :P
jurov`: what boggles me
that nobody
there labeled you chauvinist.. prolly
they dont read
trilema
pankkake: oh, plenty of
those lists. mostly by site operators sockpuppets
mircea_popescu: the
thing was amusing for a coupla days and
that's
the last i recall of it
mircea_popescu: some kid made a list of good and bad gambling sites
to enforce his notions
that i am racist and satoshi dice is bad.
mircea_popescu: pankkake
they're looking for siomething more like mem's list.
pankkake: oh he's
the one who wrote "I expect MP was abandoned as a child and
this is how s/he gets back at
the world." earlier
mircea_popescu: on account of
there being people with electricity
they didn't pay for and computers
their society got
them for free, bored and otherwise unemployed
towards any useful purpose.
pankkake: I
thought he had better stalking skills
than me. I am relieved
mircea_popescu: pankkake i have no idea what
the second life dj
thing is about
pankkake: not
that it is surprising since give you can many of
them just for having a github account
mircea_popescu: anyone
taking bets on whether he has a nervous breakdown and disappears rather
than breaks down and admits he fucked up ?
mike_c: all you have
to do is go post something positive about bitbet in
that
thread. snackman will put you in
the club.
mircea_popescu: whatever, if he delivers 4.8 a la bitfury i'd rather
the bet be clear.
pankkake: ooh, I need
to understand units
mircea_popescu: so
they're incorrect in
the sense
they err
the right way.
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see friedcat claimed 5 Gh/W and
the bet only asks for 4
pankkake: so what happens
to
the AM bet?
mircea_popescu: (which makes it much less
threatening, which is why
they don't want
to understand it)
mircea_popescu: nobody seems
to understand
that in order
to exist,
the gray slime needs
to be rather nonuniform.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think nanotech has a prayer in hell for
the exact same reasons.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : "The molecular nanotechnology we have, life, is built on low-energy bonds and runs in a wet environment with a very high error rate. Diamondoid nanotech is built on high-energy bonds, runs (at least for manufacturing) in hard vacuum, and depends on a very low error rate - errors will cascade like crazy."
this is a surprisingly cogent point.
ozbot: ASICMINER Speculation
Thread
mircea_popescu: o yeah,
that's some kind of chess i could possibly win
pankkake: git,
the actual
tool
that makes github useful, makes it very easy
to vote for yourself
thestringpuller: there should be a website
to vote on
the code
that goes into bitcoin
jefito: yeah i'd whine and cry and
try
to blame someone for
that stupid fuck up
too
jefito: it's all bitbet's fault because someone didn't include a
tx fee and
their
txn went unnoticed, eh
mircea_popescu: this supernode is
too strong
to be easily deterred. you'll have plenty more evil plan opportunities something
tells me
gribble: Next difficulty estimate | None based on data since last change | 687004394.262 based on data for last
three days
mircea_popescu: this degree of intellectual laziness is unexplainable outside of it being
the product of
the us educational system.
mircea_popescu: but
then spending
two days whining about it under mpoe-pr's rain of arrows, and she actually links you
to it, and you still don't read it...
mircea_popescu: i mean, carelessly sending some btc, okay. you don't have
the
time, you don't care, you don't know shit exists, all is fine.
mircea_popescu: can't believe dood STILL hasn't read stuff like
the bitbet contract.
mircea_popescu: if only
the person had
the decency
to bet 12 hours before
the 750 was crossed, rather
than 12 minutesd or w/e
mircea_popescu: only
took like 12 hours. considering
the 0 fees i would call
this admirable.
jurov`: yes some ppl had
to wait since monday
mircea_popescu: dexX7 unlikely he had another 10 btc in
the first place, and moreover he didn't send from an address he controlled
mircea_popescu: this is
the birthplace of
the much coveted cherry
truck award. quite
the gem.
mircea_popescu: you know,
the one
thing missing in
the mix is joel katzx
mike_c: hah. nvm. it just
turned off
gribble: Error: Failed

Try again later.
pankkake: the funniest part of
the gold
thread is
that
the guy added a POLL
to it
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla honestly i don't
think it makes a difference.
kakobrekla: juj pankkake you shouldnt have
tell him/them
the funny part!
mircea_popescu: then
they wonder why republic not democracy and no voting by idiots allowed.
mircea_popescu: these people are so retarded. so if i hire a different mpoe-pr each month basically i can keep scamming indefinitely, provided i was bfl and actually did exactly
that.
jefito: china obv
