HeySteve: heh I don'
t know enough about fine art to want to take that bet
HeySteve: well, I don'
t expect it will sell for bitcoin, more likely for USD if they get their price (which may be lower than their asking)
dignork: dexX7: don'
t want to beat a dead horse, but puting anythin + privkey into browser is a bad idea, unless for some reason you run it on an oflline machine
fluffypony: ok so then can'
t you use blockchain.info to push it once it's signed?
nanotube: dexX7: you don'
t want to provide privkeys to any website. :P use a local client.
fluffypony: HeySteve: you'd have to ask nanotube for details, but with the vested interest from all parties in the WoT it isn'
t going anywhere
moiety: o.o i didn'
t know thats where Josh spawned from
bitcoinpete: ;;later tell mircea_popescu you make a good point about the last line. as students of history, we ain'
t forgettin' shit. i'm tempted to re-write it but then your comment wouldn'
t make any sense. it did feel a bit off as i wrote it...
dexX7: i heard many bad things about arrival, tsa and such but i didn'
t expect it to be that bad
thestringpuller: davout: if you met them IRL wouldn'
t you give them at least a 5
dexX7: the tool used was
https://gephi.org/ which allows to import simple csvs but it's really slow for large datasets (or i simply don'
t know how to use it properly which is not unlikely :)
rithm: can'
t someone just run a normal eggdrop bot and auto voice people
bounce: if it's well over 10 or -10 that's a clear indication it wasn'
t by just one rating either
bounce: the fact that it exists at all is an interesting datum, inasmuch it doesn'
t say "not rated yet"
artifexd: Exactly. So you can'
t just look at the sum of the ratings and learn anything useful.
artifexd: cgcardona_: I wouldn'
t worry about total wot rating since it is a meaningless number.
bounce: both're objective; I don'
t need a judgement call here, I look at the tape measure.
bounce: you could still try and throw statistics at it, but that doesn'
t change the underlying subjectivity
bounce: oh well. AIUI paradise lost would beg to differ. haven'
t gotten around to actually reading the thing.
mircea_popescu: there's no serious consideration of an oil-alcohol mixture being "storng enough", as you won'
t drink vodka-canoia oil cocktails
bounce: anyway that doesn'
t help much, since "distinguishing from the others" implies a yardstick, that in turn is a choice bound by context
mircea_popescu: because the undistinguishable can'
t ever matter, by definition.
davout: i don'
t think that my ability to distinguish derps is really related to their ability to own stuff, it is not necessary for me to be able to know they are able to destroy a bitcoin for them to actually be able to destroy a bitcoin
bounce: yeah, no. with davout on this one, "anonymity" is lack of a label, not necessarily lack of an underlying identity. on the flip side, you already know what jehova's witnesses will try and tell you without you needing their name, regardless of whether they offer their name. if they do, they're no longer anonymous. it doesn'
t affect your esteem for what they're trying to tell you.
mircea_popescu: the opinion of derp1 is exactly equal to the opinion of derp2 inasmuch as we don'
t know anything about 'em.
davout: mircea_popescu: derps might be fungible as anonymous entities, entities we couldn'
t care to name, it doesn'
t really impede their ability to each own a bitcent
mircea_popescu: stupid enough to not realise he can'
t have a "my" as nobody, clueless enough to fail to distinguish a verb from a possessive. this is reddit.
davout: mircea_popescu: being anonymous doesn'
t mean there is no idnentity
davout: nah, in all seriousness, i don'
t know about you, but i don'
t piss with my balls
Shakespeare: ASCII gave your cabbie a bunch $20 bills this morning. I couldn'
t tell which of them enjoyed it more
mircea_popescu: but they won'
t let you take i dunno, lotion. i nevere heard of lotion exploding
gribble: Error: User doesn'
t exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
mircea_popescu: i mean, i don'
t actually think that w/e, they're faking it. but it just fails to compute on the intuitive level.
thestringpuller: mp doesn'
t go to many nerd conventions where the girls cosplay in steampunk with corsets galore
thestringpuller: or he knows when he's wrong and doesn'
t perpetuate it like da scammaz
thestringpuller: when mp is wrong it's usually on something that doesn'
t matter
turbo_ac100: authed with gribble but assbot doesn'
t let me !up
fluffypony: although WHY that isn'
t the default on Freenode is beyond me
cgcardona_: you mean that I don'
t have nickserv set to enforce my nick registration?
bounce: why didn'
t you get the nick without _ released and use that? you can still do that, by the by.
bounce: you don'
t have it set to enforce it, too
cgcardona_: don'
t see how someone nicksquatted me - i have it registered w/ nickserv
bounce: why don'
t you ask him? op on -otc. could be someone nicksquatted you and he was a little too enthousiastic
fluffypony: if you decided to follow the belief but you weren'
t born of the 12 tribes you weren'
t a jew
bounce: isn'
t it their creation story that groups them in various tribes, about 12 or so? though to call that a "race" is maybe a bit overly ambitious.
FabianB: hmm.. Google can'
t find Jerusalina
fluffypony: they can'
t even decide what the D stands for
mircea_popescu: "Having spent more than two decades, as an option trader and book-runner (~ 650,000 trades), I have always been leery of inexperienced academics talking about "prediction markets" when we have organic, spontaneously formed markets, and have had them since civilization started --my reaction is that of an old plane engineer and pilot being lectured by a high school English student who never flew a plane. You can'
t tell
t mircea_popescu: exchange01 i don'
t hold private conversations with people i don'
t know. this is kinda the basis of private conversations : the parties must be acquainted.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: wrt making Sybil attacks harder, isn'
t there/couldn'
t there be a GPG-like system that uses a common private key for a single owner, but also hash some sort of easily identifiable GUID as part of the pubkey/signature to indicate which machine it is on? that way an attacker's work becomes slightly more complex, as they need to not only create profiles but have a fresh VM/install/whatever for them
☟︎ mircea_popescu: fluffypony: in which /r/Bitcoin can'
t decide whether to spend its ten cents on supersizing the coke or the fries. it's really unfair anyway because if they supersize one they should get the other for free. << FTFY
mircea_popescu: bounce "the odd dos-only application that's critical to the business and irreplacable" << this should be ridiculous but isn'
t. most "tools" of today aren'
t actally as good as the tools of the 90s.
BingoBoingo: It is amazing how personal timekeeping hasn'
t had any advancements since 1970, much like how you still seem fluffypony to be the sort that would borrow bitcoin for cheap polyester couches.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: I know people rip on Wikipedia in this chan, but it wouldn'
t be the worst place to start in understanding how 1950's tech works
BingoBoingo: Well, decent doesn'
t say too much... How many people alive can make them sing (I actually, literally mean sing)
bounce: on IIRC my watch is a casio instead. hm. doesn'
t really matter.
fluffypony: you wouldn'
t be able to tell any of those are solar panels at a glance
BingoBoingo: bounce: Even in the worst case you want to keep them stored well in case everyone else with them decides they aren'
t worth saving and you end up with something rate
BingoBoingo: I own more watches than other battery powered devices, but of the ones that don'
t operate on mechanical energy, solver oxide cells are the most prevalent.
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 i bet you that i won'
t be able to buy a graphene supercap battery at a convenience store in 2019.
BingoBoingo: That isn'
t how schools have been capable of thinking though. I learned turtle graphics at 11 on an Apple II with software written in 1995. Schools make the worst decisions.
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: Well, they handle it because they don'
t have pubes yet.
bounce: relevant for this channel is the gpg-card thingies. problem with those is that the source isn'
t available, though a spec is. an open source implementation would be nice, and perhaps cheaper than sourcing the closed-source thing.
bounce: it's a good example since (I'm told, haven'
t investigated) various smart card type things have a z80-type core on board
bounce: too bad the z80 doesn'
t do that
fluffypony: Diablo-D3: if we're going air-gapped for offline signing/decryption ethernet shouldn'
t be a concern
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: Honestly I really dun give a shit about that anyways, detergents are just surfactants that aren'
t derived from fatty acids, as a class detergent is a meaningless designation
BingoBoingo: "This drives me crazy when people don'
t include the costs of labor. It would be like someone getting a car donated to them and saying "Wow cars only cost $200 for a title and registration! Why do people pay thousands of dollars for a car!?" Because someone gave you one for free!"
fluffypony: well, they're fine for the front-end bits, as long as they don'
t do any actual work
BingoBoingo: Well, they are the fuckers who ran with the money they raised on Havelock aren'
t they?
fluffypony: they have a regulatory requirement to only deal with Canadians, so I don'
t understand why they even show the deposit screen/address for unverified customers
fluffypony: jurov: yeah, there's lots of fuss about Cavirtex allowing deposits without the person being approved, and then they can'
t withdraw their deposit
BingoBoingo: Are you sure litecoins don'
t expire on the whims of investors/speculators? 1 LTC = 1 LTC, but beyond that... Who pumps them at a particular time seems to affect their value quite a bit.
jurov: BingoBoingo: litecoins don'
t expire on a whim of investors
jurov: but i can'
t imagine being a merchant to weigh every customer's reputation how much less are his coins worth
jurov: i think he won'
t go throught with it, we convinced him that having to check every coin for encumbrances is impractical
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform doesn'
t strike me as the kind of person that would release a shitcoin
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: You know... Those planes aren'
t F-15's...
BingoBoingo: I was kind of just bringing up these quotes in the context of addressing scammers. It isn'
t enough to merely be better than the scammers through knowing. You have to make them answer for their purpose, and in doing so you have to use language that sticks
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: The same person also said "When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to a bunch of little old ladies, at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can'
t run an army without profanity, and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn'
t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag."
bitcoinpete: maidsafe probably isn'
t going to gain much traction anyways, but i thought i'd call it out just to be sure.
