pigeons: ooh now
this is a smooth platform mircea_popescu
pigeons: blockchain.info probably implements signing different
than
the reference client, i know armory does also
pigeons: im verifying
this out in
the public, openly
pigeons: my computer is 2/3 between debian unstable
to experimental downgrade
to unstable.
the version of libc i last installed bitcoin against is no longer on my machine
pigeons: well
they really do
think its a neat idea, and you won't be able
to convince
them otherwise until
they
turn 13 at least
FabianB: ic, its 1% of
the bet size
mircea_popescu: if you put
the 100th btc in late enough you might not actually win enough of
the 1btc
to make up for
the 1% you'll be charged
mircea_popescu: if you bet very late and
the odds are very low you can end up paying a little like
that.
Jewish_James: no, just doing other
things and i havent got
the payouts calculated correctly
Jewish_James: so im assuming
the weight number a percentage? I'm
trying
to figure out
the payout formula including
the 1% fee and preventing
the house from gambling its own money which i assume it doesn't do
Namworld: The earnings are proportional
to bet amount multiplied by "weight". Usually
the more
time passes,
the less weight bets have.
Jewish_James: most of
the propositions are very one-sided, so say you pick
the favored choice , does everyone have
to make equal sized bets, or could someone bet a huge amount and greatly reduce
the winnings for everyone else if
that side wins
mircea_popescu: Jewish_James
the side
that prevails splits up
the bets of
the side
that lost.
Jewish_James: can someone explain
to me how
the winnings are calculated at bitbet?

mircea_popescu: "We
took multiple 20k+ refunds left and right without batting and eye lash because we believe in
this project and we know we will be releasing our bASIC Bitcoin mining units sooner

the wall.
Bugpowder_: in
the science fiction hall of fame Volume I
smickles: i just love how, if you get into fine enough detail, particles, waves, atoms, none of
those are practical models of reality
smickles: it's only statistically b/c we don't yet know
the fundamental nature of reality
kakobrekla: "hi, i'd like

mircea_popescu: sure

too expensive.
mircea_popescu: it's like a "new car company" came
to
the car show on
the strength of "there exists gasoline"
mircea_popescu: Namworld people need
to start coming
to
terms with
the fact
that coding doesn't matter.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla how many bet sites since
the bitbet ipo ? 11 ?
Namworld: Well at least
they could afford
to do a proffesional design like SatoshiDice... but what about
the coding?
Namworld: Is
there anything MPOE-PR doesn't or cannot chew on?
kakobrekla: >>people were crossing out
the "V" on
the wristband so
that it read "LIE STRONG"
mircea_popescu: then it mysteriouslydidn't make
the unspecified reserve
mircea_popescu: jurov a i recall
that,
they put it up for sale cause "legal concerns" on
the site itself
jurov: and in meantime
there were some offers
to sell bitmit
that were later retracted (decoys, perhaps?)
kakobrekla: what happend
to bitmit or
that ebay like bitcoin site
mod6: hey whats up

that 10% out of
the range of
the normal population? Aka in
the -10%?
jurov: btw, on
the
topic on "over average minds"
today's dilbert is spot on
jurov: mircea,
this is what worries you? "If Bitcoin grows
too quickly -
too many great minds might be idling around on beaches and frolicking with hookers n blow instead of building great
things"
jurov: theymos should raise money for phat pipe and moar serverz...and
then vanish :P
mircea_popescu: i guess im
the only person
that's not really worried about
that ?
afk_afk001: hopefully, he is never going

jcpham: probably in

that might provide me with some nest egg or inheritance
mircea_popescu: "o ease
the point into a "low information voter" sort of mental context,
think of it in
terms of
television"
Ukto: but
thought better of it
Ukto: alsomst used
the 1st...
Namworld: The system is ineficient and always rely on paper... It's expensive and
time consuming
to maintain...
Namworld: Can
the gov finally make it's system fully digital? Valid for almost any government in
the world.
Ukto: hate inheritence
