moiety: isn't bitcoin always exciting?
pankkake: ;;later tell mircea_popescu your feed doesn't seem to update in real time, blogs.b-a often lags behind. otherwise the irker script has a really simple algorithm, it publishes any unseen URL, so I'd be surprised there's a bug there

davout: the bet will resolve as yes, because we won't be able to hide the fact that trading has ceased
Apocalyptic: i guess if NSA kills b-c it won't resolve as yes
davout: Apocalyptic: the point is that any of the main reasons for which it could shutdown couldn't be easily concealed by me

Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, doesn't matter where his money is
Apocalyptic: isn't this a badbet ?

pankkake: I don't think creating a new coin is an honest attitude
pankkake: I don't think it will be an altchain. Just hard-fork the bitcoin blockchain into something actually better.
pankkake: no, their cards aren't very good for proof of works
fluffypony: I don't consider the PoW particularly noteworthy
pankkake: so far the crypto world managed to move to better algorithms before attacks were economically interesting. I don't see it changing

Apocalyptic: Naphex, doesn't look like that average clueless article about Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> it's just that they have realized that trading 500 usd back and forth isn't really worth it << that'll be the day
mircea_popescu: <bitcoinpete> moiety: lol wow, just read that zerlan thing. dood is crazy to spend $500k on a house just so he can make a headline on a weasly local rag. << i think you misunderstand how josh works. he doesn't actually DO the things he claims to have done. he merely claims them.
