Bowjob: mhm, i hit
the free button 104
times, i made my browser slow
to a crawl
error4733: cool, add
then with all your imaginary coin
Namworld: the center stuff have way more paths leading
to
them
than others... assuming each spot has
the actual odds
the same as if
the coin had 50% falling either side of each nail.
Bowjob: shouldnt i win a lot on
the free button
Bowjob: Mhm, is
the free button provably fair
mircea_popescu: Up
to 17.5 million RBS banking group customers were left without
their money last night as
the bank’s systems crashed.
Bowjob: do you see it if i spam
the free button?
Bowjob: I'll pay maybe 50 bitcoins for
that
mircea_popescu: "The properties and procedures of bitcoin can solve real world problems like voting and
tokenization, but for now, we use it as money."
mircea_popescu: it seems
to me most sales are either deep calls
takingprofits
Namworld: But if someone still wants
to sell a few, I'd
take some.
jcpham: people can live forever on
the internet you know
jcpham: he has
the same initals as me so he can assume my identity one day
maximian: as long as
trades can be executed, it's all good
mircea_popescu: access may be spotty over
the next coupla days as everything's being assembled, but hey.
mircea_popescu: maximian
there's a lot of hardware being set up. i wanted
to get people a lifeline as soon as possible
BitHub: yeah
that's what im
thinking,
twitter could come in handy for situations like
that
jurov: but
twatter wouldn't be bad... if
they had sane interface
BitHub: mpex
trading via social media when its down?
jurov: hi Namworld, can i redirect coinbr.com
to bitvps, should
the need arise?
maximian: anyone who isn't a nervous nelly knows
that it was just a
temporary issue
mircea_popescu: mpex is closed for a day, when it reopens everyone wants
to deposit.
Namworld: I
think I'll stay until my MPEx deposit is processed.
jcpham: consider
that an opening a prologue
jcpham: why can i not verify
that
jcpham: is 2175
the correct year
mircea_popescu: ill be around
to process withdrawals/deposits for anyone needing.
maximian: so
this is on
the new 10Gb connection?
Namworld: Should I just go sleep and come back
tomorrow or is it almost done?
Namworld: What's
the new
time estimates on MPEx availability?
OneMiner: I don't hold
their views against
them.
The details do matter. Maybe it's
the need for sleep but I can sympathize
to a degree.
Namworld: Damn... MPEx needs
to come back up. I want
to put some orders in =/
OneMiner: Cool. I just wanted
to pop in with
that PSA,
the
topic is on everybodies mind. :P I've been speaking about
this all day. I'm going
to bed. :)
mircea_popescu: yet in bitcoin
there's no media, and yet in bitcoin people focus on marginal nonissues instead of facing
the hard stuff. like fixing
the damned client.
mircea_popescu: it's funny
tho, because in real world politics people consider
the media's focusing on margianl nonissues as signs of some sort of conspiracy.
OneMiner: It's ok
though.
The alt coins proove
that
there is no absolute authority. Miners each have a choice of what
transactions
to include,
the world keep
turning.
OneMiner: Well... It WILL be solved
that way and
there STILL will be whining.
mircea_popescu: the problem is
tghat
there's no problem, and random selection of idiots are
trying
to manufacture one for poluitical reasons.
mircea_popescu: if it actually was solvable
that way
therer wouldn't be all
the whining.
mircea_popescu: unless you get your subject
to agree with you,
there's no basis.
OneMiner: We all choose which clients
to run right?
There's
the vote right
there.
OneMiner: mircea_popescu Except in
this case we do have
the authority. It's a collective as opposed
to unilateral action.
mircea_popescu: or in other words,
the president don't have
that authority.
OneMiner: We feed on it right? Here we are
trying
to adopt a new currency, pretty much out of
the blue. Right away we are overly invested relative
to
the rest of
the world. We are all a bit nutty.
mircea_popescu: selecting what is garbage is an overstretch of
the licenses granted.
maximian: the drama is compelling, hence
the
topic goes on and on
OneMiner: It will be worked out, I'm sure people will be upset for a while. But when
the sun rises
the next day
things will look brighter.
maximian: unlimited garbage is a problem, and needs
to be dealt with
OneMiner: Bah, I need
to stop phrasing it
that way. I'm not doing any good with
this noise.
OneMiner: It's all
the anarchists railing about
the injustice (nay
TYRANNY) of
the concept
that
the blockchain shouldn't contain an unlimited amount of garbage.
OneMiner: The whole issue is wildly overblown. Some extra action will be
taken
to penalize spammy
transactions and
the blocksize always had
to go up at some point. Not right now
though, I
think.
BitHub: i've liked how
things have played out so far but are we about
to see a real dark
turn in
the road?
BitHub: especially before
the internet was born, real pointless stuff
mircea_popescu: apparently all political history is contained within people
themselves.
mircea_popescu: it's kind of interesting how
this all worked out btw.
the -otc and forum, home of
the unwashed masses, all revolutionary and shit.
the -assets, where
the landed gentry naturally gathers, all conservative.
smickles: and all
the chuckleheads
talking about raising
the blocksize
Bowjob: the
tx fees are
there on
top of
the house edge yeah
smickles: srsly,
that was what I came back
to when i went
to
the forum for
the first
time in a while
mircea_popescu: that such nonsense would require
throwing away
the edges doesn't worry
them :
they don't know what
those are anyway
mircea_popescu: smickles
the stupid want everything remade in
their image
smickles: people like
that mrbig and such
Bowjob: the dice share holders will be opposed
to delisting
their shares
smickles: gaaw, wtf are
these people on about, do
the really
thing some script,ajax heavy site would do better against a sustained ddos
than a few <tr>
tags?
Namworld: giving a fork balance
that can be cashed out... inconvenient
tho
BitHub: i just hope s.dice pays
taxes
Namworld: They could easily
take bitcoin deposits and have a fork for
the sole purpose of calculating lucky numbers, nay?
deadweasel: anyway, how could I get my SDICE from bitfunder
to havelock?
maximian: I do like all
this s.dice exposure… being
talked about is what keeps it on
top
deadweasel: I
think Sdice needs
to handle
the issue on
their end, do
their own gambling fork.
BitHub: it wouldn't be
that hard
to get s.dice shut down
deadweasel: i like
that idea, until BTC is worth $100, 1000
Bowjob: how about increasing
the min bet on all dice games
deadweasel: can i push from bitfunder
to havelock?
Bowjob: imo we need a compromise.
this blockchain bloat is annoying
