gribble: Forget the snack, just send me some bitcoins at 1MgD6rah5zUgEGYZnNmdpnXMaDR3itKYzU :)
jurov: don't trust him
ThickAsThieves: just that i did base my choice on somewhat ignorant grasp of gribbles predictions
jurov: so you bought and now having second thoughts ? :D
jurov: also sold few shares of iDiff-E on bitfunder for 0.07 hedged by bitbet but won't sell for that price anymore
mod6: moon and stars, is that like licking your finger to determine which way the wind blows?
ThickAsThieves: were your eyes open or closed when you drew the lines? ;)
jurov: bu the moon and stars and technical analysis
mircea_popescu: well im too lazy to comment on google stuff, so.
jcpham: he's on the right path...
mircea_popescu: probably wuile's estimates are the better thing to go by
jurov: in the end difficulty really only takes into account really issued blocks, not the work behind them... so the point is moot
mircea_popescu: ya hta'ts what i meant, they use the per-user diff thing
jurov: the pools must have a way to measure the work semi-precisely.. to be able to sanely compute payouts
swhitt: mircea_popescu: well, each pool has a different difficulty for the shares
mircea_popescu: they could perhaps report shares, but there's issues with that too (i am told, i don't really understand this)
mircea_popescu: jurov there's no practical way for the pools to do it either, not as hashes
jurov: if the pools exported stats about work submitted, that would be more reliable
swhitt: and the difficulty adjustment is to get lambda back to the average time of 10 minutes
ThickAsThieves: so does the difficulty prediction get more stable the closer to the end of the current diff level?
swhitt: you can estimate what lambda is by the number of occurrences per unit time
ThickAsThieves: i was forgetting about the "luck" aspect i guess
mircea_popescu: there's no actual way to measure it
jurov: i don't think bitcoincharts meticulusly gathers stats from the pools how many hashes got computed actually
pigeons: who said that?
pigeons: "he reason I take the time to type out a response like that is because I enjoy treating people I don’t know like they’re actual human beings, take them seriously and so forth."
mod6: maybe the asics made it out of tennekey
ThickAsThieves: i'm missing something, but why would the hashrate change so much overnight?
jurov: and not difficulty but hashrate to be exact.
ThickAsThieves: i think it was even up to 20%
mod6: oh hmm. ok. didn't know that.
jurov: so gribble was thinking it will got 15% up
ThickAsThieves: was that high
mircea_popescu: jurov i find that so odd, im still measuring the output at like 27th
jurov: mod6, it was the difficulty that spiked yest
mod6: ThickAsThieves: the diffiulty went up that much or just the btc spot price?
jurov: just a convenient topic to bitch about
mod6: one thing that makes me laugh is about these -otc d00dz who constantly bitch about MPEx's lack of CSS or conformity to standards.
mircea_popescu: mod6 im the boss all software engineers wish they had.
mod6: (10:48) < mircea_popescu> i like nat, but they say i'm a nut. << for someone who isn't a programmer, you have a keen eye for what makes sense in compsci
ThickAsThieves: was like 15%-20% yesterday I think
mircea_popescu: i like nat, but they say i'm a nut.
pigeons: mircea_popescu: nat is like asking someone else to take a piss for you
swhitt: the client doens't let you spend unconfirmed change though
mod6: OH... ok. didn't know that.
swhitt: mircea_popescu: thanks, I am making a list of transactions included in the attack
swhitt: but they showed up in a block
maximian: and that they implement fixes accordingly
swhitt: it looked like the doublespend attack person is working with a miner
maximian: evoorhees says that they do suffer double-spends from time to time
mod6: I saw something on btctalk about some new ways to try to exploit double-spends against s.dice. not sure if its effective...
swhitt: and then it paid the attacked confirmed bet
swhitt: so the txid changed
mircea_popescu: jurov literally. what am i to answer a phone !? "don't call us, we'll call you to an artform"
swhitt: which doesn't need to be signed
swhitt: then a new block came in with a txn not in the mempool
jurov: oh, mircea_popescu doesn't need to answer phones, he's got people for that
swhitt: I was playing, this was my original losing bet
swhitt: anyone know how to contact evoorhees?
mircea_popescu: <jurov> btw, i came up with better analogy with the NAT problem... it's like telephone from which you can make outgoing calls only << pretty much the only way to use a phone.
mod6: ahh. ok. i was wondering how (or why) a system of credit would need to be established...
pigeons: well the new system operaters are trying to discourage calling trust lines "credit" I noticed
mod6: starting to feel better today thouhg.
mod6: ugh, have been sick as hell the last 2 weeks. :/
mod6: The reason I take the time to type out a response like that is because I enjoy treating people I don’t know like they’re actual human beings, take them seriously and so forth.
mod6: i like this:
jurov: btw, i came up with better analogy with the NAT problem... it's like telephone from which you can make outgoing calls only
jurov: well,everyone has something to get angry over
jurov: Please include the vwap used into the report.
mircea_popescu: iirc what i said was that i'll publish the report and then wait a day for any errors / complaints before making payments
jurov: mircea_popescu, you said maybe you'll do the report tomorrow morning instead of in the night, have you decided?

jurov: the thread is about mmm glbse stuff
jurov: so, there are not yet relisted cases n the scene, ukto beware :D
mod6: car accident and got beat with a tire iron!?
jurov: In 2009 I was beaten nearly to death by a man with a tire Iron and have not been able to maintain a normal job sence which is why I fell inlove with bitcoins so much
Ukto: I think were all nuts
jurov: this is true nut: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101771.msg1407323#msg1407323
Ukto: hes just too scared to talk abou tit
Ukto: he does supposedly have something to back it
Ukto: i told him he needs to specify stuff
pigeons: what about the super secret "we can't stop you from buyinf our secret not-for-you shares?"
pigeons: not that there's anything wrong with it...
pigeons: well, i guess when mircea_popescu is the standard, being nuts isn't a disqualifier
Ukto: I am just here to help
pigeons: who are they?
Ukto: what about them?
mircea_popescu: beauty of the interwebs.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves ya well, one doesn't need five cents to have an opinion,
kakobrekla: just had a short discussion over this
kakobrekla: sadly there are just 2 places in this whole economy where one can make any serious coin
mircea_popescu: small timers couldn't do it anyway.
mircea_popescu: big boys can be bothered to jump through all the hoops to bribe you
Ukto: and then make it legal again for the big boys
Ukto: wipe out the competition
kakobrekla: if its legal no need to use btc
mircea_popescu: <Ukto> Rather than the previous limitation of 'I can SELL it for USD' << this is a good point for sure.
gribble: There are currently 5754.009 bitcoins offered at or under 31.99 USD, worth 181961.646777 USD in total.
Ukto: now think about that, with the big project for BF I am working in. ;)
BitHub: so when you going to hit up all the countries that have a closed exchanged? :P
