Luke-Jr: fractal: I encourged wizkid057 to reinstate namecoin merged mining when a new development team stepped forward and took it forward with Namecoin-Qt
fractal: Luke-Jr: they are 100% not physically connected. seperate units.
fractal: Luke-Jr: it came out of your mouth 2 months ago. you woudn't merge-,mine namecoin because it had illegal data in the blockchain --- i want to know when you changed your mind and became corrupted by money
Luke-Jr: nubbins`: correct, although I don't know if they're physically connected
Duffer1: not everyone received that though Nubbs, it's weird, just ignore it hehe
fractal: nubbins`: they're not taped together... they're completely seperate devieces.... completely seperate units, because a single unit does not do 400Gh
Luke-Jr: fractal: if you have an actual argument why namecoin is illegal or immoral, please feel free to email me with it or bring it up in #eligius - but after the last day or so, you seem entirely un-credible in your claims
nubbins`: Luke-Jr: so they essentially attached 2 boards together, but it's still 400GH/s+ and <= 400W? And everyone who ordered one of these "400 gigahash mining units" is receiving one of these 2-boards-taped-together devices?
Kleeck__: Oh. We're debating this AGAIN. This is week three, no?
fractal: nubbins`: notice how Luke-Jr says 'both' boards... when the bet states it must be contained in a single UNIT
Luke-Jr: nubbins`: the actual watts used by both boards combined is like 270 W
Luke-Jr: nubbins`: the specs are linked from the OP there
nubbins`: Luke-Jr: link to specs? 400GH/s+ at <= 400W?
fractal: compensation for missing performance targets
fractal: Luke-Jr: they were seperate units
Luke-Jr: nubbins`: which operate well within the advertised performance
fractal: Luke-Jr: thinks that 2 Units == 1 Unit
Luke-Jr: nubbins`: they delivered 400 Gh/s units that comprised of multiple boards
nubbins`: "Devices must meet advertised performance" is pretty cut and dry, too. We all know what "MUST" means.
fractal: nubbins`: exactly.... thank god you can understand logic. Luke-Jr can't
Luke-Jr: fractal: you spoke as if you were integrity42 and made no attempt to even implicitly deny it until now
nubbins`: for that matter, if the unit only hashes at 365GH/s, then the "400 gigahash mining units" haven't even been delivered
fractal: with zero evidence to back it up
fractal: nubbins`: thanks. you and most others are logical.
fractal: Luke-Jr: its clear that money and wealth has corrupted you......
mircea_popescu: who is this guy anyway.
nubbins`: well, after a cursory, glance, it would seem that the outcome of that bet is an obvious no. 365 < 400.
fractal: Luke-Jr: personally i think its disgusting that you are knowingly merge mining a chain with illegal content on it....
fractal: Luke-Jr: by the way, why did eligius start merge-mining Namecoin??? i thought you found that chain morally wrong to promote?
fractal: the only reason someone would disagree is if they were paid a bribe...
fractal: theres no possible way that anyone could say that a unit was anything other then what fits on 1M-board.... its advertised right on their website
nubbins`: and where's the bitnet?
fractal: Luke-Jr: i have no doubt Anduck likely paid you off to shilll for him....
fractal: also, I'll be monitoring the bitfury thread and waiting for punin to make more comments about what a 'unit' is.... I will post all of these so that people can see that your attempt to define a unit as something other then 1M-board makes you look like a complete fool
fractal: Luke-Jr: punin himself acknowleged that a 400Gh unit does not do 365Gh
fractal: Luke-Jr: everyone who can do math on the forum post disagrees with you
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: fractal claims you're a scammer; while I don't argue about that, I think you made the right call here
fractal: mp: basically Luke-Jr tried to accuse me of theft and stealing coins, based on some post from a christian church website on betting, because he thinkgs i knew the outcome before i made the bet, and didn't tell anyone about it in time for them to retract their bet
fractal: Luke-Jr: and by the way, bets on bitbet aren't bets. they are a contract, based on clauses in the FAQ, which read "Bets will not be cancelled because it became impossible for one side to win" ... this is against your morals post, which means everyone who bets on bitbet is not a moral better. which means they aren't betting, they're engaging in a contract
fractal: i checked to make sure the rules
fractal: since i told all in the comments that the bet was a NO
fractal: even after i used your own post to disprove your argument
fractal: you accussed me of theft based on your 'morals'
fractal: Luke-Jr: promote a set of morals that are false all you like, won't make it true
Luke-Jr: fractal: slander all you like, won't make it true
fractal: Luke-Jr: the same church that burned books, raped and killed millions? no thank you.
Luke-Jr: fractal: they aren't mine, and anyone who disagrees with the Church on morals is simply wrong
pankkake: in 10 years he will be on the streets ranting about bitbet
pankkake: he reminds me of the crazy homeless guys who talk to themselves
Luke-Jr: "everybody" making up their own is merely delusional
fractal: Luke-Jr: yeah, you instead accuse others of trying to 'steal' coins from people. incredibly rude and unprofessional
pankkake: why even bother with this guy
fractal: Luke-Jr: you try to preach arbitrary ones
Duffer1: i don't see how it's a scam if divs provide more income than your buy in
fractal: according to luke-jr
fractal: right. which means you have to sell shares to idiots to make money, which is morally wrong
ThickAsThieves: all companies are a scam, cuz like 99% of them go out of business someday
fractal: short all of them to zero
fractal: AM, VMC, all of them
Duffer1: cheers man, i'm reading the prospectus now
ThickAsThieves: I did suggest some tweaks, who knows if they'll listen :)
ThickAsThieves: <Duffer1> ThickAsThieves looks hot man, i like it a lot (except the yellow color of nEo, bitcoin orange might be cool) <<< I like the yellow, but ultimately that's all decided by the marketing team
fractal: soooooooooo stupid idiots all over the forums falling for this
fractal: they send me USD. i immeditaely convert it to BTC.... then i pay them out 50% of that over the lifetime of the virtual miner, and keep the other 50% as profit
fractal: but the idiot buyers are happy because 'when the exchange rate goes up, they'll ROI in USD!'
fractal: so now i'm selling virtual hashing units for USD that will never ROI in BTC terms.... i'm paying out 100% PPS, and pocketing the BTC differential as profit
fractal: btw, i gave up on trying to convince idiots that buying mining equipment in USD that doesn't ROI in BTC terms is a bad idea....
mircea_popescu: it takes more to make a block than all the math done in the entire history of humanity up until 1900 or so.
fractal: yeah thats not surprising
fractal: advice we can all take, i'm sure.
fractal: now i'm actually using reverse reverse psychology so that you don't register it
fractal: why not? im trying to use reverse psychology so that you have to spend $4
Duffer1: ThickAsThieves looks hot man, i like it a lot (except the yellow color of nEo, bitcoin orange might be cool)
mircea_popescu: this sounds great in theory.
fractal: with all terms defined
fractal: just dont take bad bets. if the bet can't be broken down into logical symbols, dont take it
mircea_popescu: well no, as a fiction it wouldn't. once it's live i'm curious how that works.
ThickAsThieves: chip & pin card design added to details: http://i.imgur.com/YebNUYx.png
fractal: fuckbitbet.com wouldn't take bad bets though in the first place, so it woudln't run into these problems
mircea_popescu: i'd bet there a lot, seeing how i probably have a lot more shitslinging capacity than you can dream of.
fractal: rather then having these forum posts continue on indefinitely
mircea_popescu: well if that's what you think i really can't wait for your competitor.
fractal: mp: i think betbet should return the NO bets their money, and then gain from the positive PR they'd receive
mircea_popescu: this is true now and it'll stay true as best as i can determine until we move on to writing c++ instead of english
fractal: people bet based on the logical flow of the language in the bet
mircea_popescu: ideally your position is substantially supported. if it's technically suported you're at risk.
fractal: a nominalist view is the only way to decide it.
mircea_popescu: but you'll have to understand that bitbet is used by many people for many purposes and technical arguments may or may not carry.
mircea_popescu: i get that in a strong nominalist view you want this as a no,
fractal: mp: if bitfury sehipped more hardware, they changed the spec, and the bet was a yes..... you've contradicted yourself.
mircea_popescu: fractal they advertised two types, overshot performance on one, undershot on the other and made up for the difference sending more gear.
fractal: mp: the bitfury bet, as timestamped, showed the 400Gh unit as being hardware on 1M-board.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather have vague short text everyone can be expected to read than long text everyone can be expected not to read.
fractal: mp: so then why was the bitfury bet a yes when the hardware UNIT as advertised didn't do 400Gh? but only 365Gh????????????
mircea_popescu: and yes it's not hard to link to a pastebin but it's hard to have it read.
mircea_popescu: this was established already on the bfl contentions.
mircea_popescu: the timestamp is the date the bet was made.
fractal: mp: not hard to link to a pastebin
fractal: heres another bullshit sentence -- "credibly show their sample ASIC chip working to specification" what is the specification? what is the timestamp of the spec? what if Labcoin changes spec during the bet?
mircea_popescu: fractal what if the list is 50`000 names long ?
