wao-ender: 'military' hm, how can you know that military doesn'
t hiding something from public?
mircea_popescu: yeah, wouldn'
t make much sense to limit themselves to that.
Apocalyptic: pretty sure military radars don'
t give a fuck about transponders or not
Apocalyptic: either it reflects the waves or it doesn'
t bounce: because if it wasn'
t, it gets bailouts
mircea_popescu: diametric i mean what, you can'
t be friends with a war veteran ?
mircea_popescu: i can'
t see how i could take seriously someone with poor taste.
diametric: a consideration for what? I mean, sure its something I might factor in if its relevant to the situation, but I wouldn'
t dismiss someone simple because of that.
diametric: to what end though, i don'
t really care if people dress up like animals and fuck each other if they want too. I think its weird, but I would not consider myself a better person than they on that alone.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t know how hard im trolling either, tbh, but i figure it should be somewhere between my penis and a brick wall.
benkay: wouldn'
t be surprised if that call was something along the lines of "are these both thingers in memory? great! return true."
benkay: i don'
t even php, so i don'
t know how hard you're trolling right now
mircea_popescu: ya well, i don'
t personally trust them so i have no use for them on these lines, but in principle what can you do.
Duffer1: they don'
t make it obvious, but i believe they do, let me check
benkay: mircea_popescu Hirethestache doesn'
t CB allocate users a specific receipt address?
benkay: Hirethestache: if your bet closes in 7 days just use the CB address. they won'
t likely go out of business with so little fanfare.
mircea_popescu: no, it can'
t. cause it doesn'
t know what gribble clicks.
Hirethestache: My bitcoin lingo is now officially dead in the water. I really need to do more research. You think you know so much until you realize you don'
t.
Hirethestache: Mircea, I don'
t have the cold storage addresses stored digitally anywhere
test123: for that berkshire bet, why are people betting now- why not wait until just before betting closes, when bets aren'
t locked in?
mircea_popescu: having a few cents in there for convenience is fine, but don'
t go overboard
Hirethestache: Oh yeah, I don'
t have any coins directly on it. I have a small Coinbase account, a small amount on my nexus wallet, and everything else on a paper wallet in a safe
benkay: no documentation necessary. it's not your hardware. it doesn'
t obey your commands. don'
t put your coins on it.
Hirethestache: Just my iPhone and nexus tablet, but I won'
t have access to the nexus for 48hours
benkay: Duffer1: coinbase wouldn'
t have to be around by bet resolution, though.
Duffer1: so Obama called Putin to tell him the U.S. would never recognize the Crimea referendum. I can'
t imagine Putins response was anything other than "HAHAHHHAAHAHA"
khersonus: it still doesn'
t seem like it would be that difficult of a problem. I'm surprised you haven'
t come up with a solution, given the potential profit it could have and has had for mpex
ThickAsThieves: to play devil's advocate, why wouldn'
t MPEx use a decentralized system to manage its issuances, assuming things like orderbook delays were not a problem?
mircea_popescu: khersonus i could, practically. i couldn'
t, theoretically, becuase THAT would be undue concentration, ie the bad sort of centralisation.
khersonus: mircea_popescu: why not run your options system with your own pricing index? it seemed to me that your two complaints about bitcoincharts were that an exchange pushed doge data, and they didn'
t remove mtgox. Couldn'
t you do better yourself?
mircea_popescu: so... don'
t tell me about how the people that didn'
t listen to mpoe-pr and went and lost their btc on glbse somehow "Suffered"
benderp: but the best part is how the cell network can'
t sustain a connection to IRC via anything but JS.
benderp: california ain'
t so bad after all, guys!
mircea_popescu: <freeroute> there isn'
t a decentralized CC exchange yet AFAIK << there has been, for years. ot, open transactions.
freeroute: CC doesn'
t have a ledger AFAIK, it uses BTC ledger
freeroute: well you can'
t abolish trust entirely, that would be unreal
freeroute: putting trust from the hands of people into mathematics is a way of making sure that you can'
t be screwed by people, which has happened numerous times already.
freeroute: so assume miners fall under the regulation, who's to say they won'
t employ techniques to evade that regulation?
freeroute: in the case of CC, wouldn'
t it itself be a ledger (or the blockchain itself being a ledger) ?
freeroute: there isn'
t a decentralized CC exchange yet AFAIK
ThickAsThieves: even then, don'
t most of these decentralized exchanges lean on less than 10 points of trust?
freeroute: of course you can'
t, but you can minimize their impact on it
freeroute: wasn'
t there a documentary about a CS guy who found out that stock exchanges (like the NYSE) were basically frauding people?
freeroute: mircea_popescu: difficult. I'd say both, I wouldn'
t trust it more then I would trust security through obscurity
freeroute: you didn'
t have applied mathematics you have now in the 'haydays' of communism
freeroute: well yeah at this point I can'
t see bitbet implementing such a thing because of the nature of the bets (the bets would then be binary and somehow be validated for provably true)
mircea_popescu: you'll always need people. and that's a good thing, because if you didn'
t the planet'd be pretty darn barren by now.
mircea_popescu: not because of improper nonsense, such as "it couldn'
t gyp us".
cazalla: steven-__: he won'
t attend conferences unless they have a sexual harassment policy in place as well, the guy is a total SJW
freeroute: I guess it depends on the application, it won'
t make everything safe
mircea_popescu: freeroute apparently the people who make the calls in bitcoin don'
t give a shit about particular dead horse tropes.
freeroute: yeah, centralized solutions to a decentralized protocol aren'
t always a good thing
freeroute: won'
t multisig tx's make stuff like bitbet more 'safer' to use?
nubbins`: there's a few "don'
t give money to bitbet, scam, see this link" posts on everything related to bitbet that goes up
joecool: prob doesn'
t help much, pretty common name
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i just didn'
t imagine anyone'd be doing it. i'm not saying it's a bad idea or anything, just, not what i had imagined.
nubbins`: seriously, the edge isn'
t even a uniform thickness
bitcoinpete: they probably can'
t stamp them fast enough to keep up with people who haven'
t heard of BTC
ThickAsThieves: "Agreed. Looks good. But what I don'
t get is the huge jump to 41,734.95 in total earned BTC.
sheldonthomas: Isn'
t it advantageous to make small bets against large ones on bitbet, since regardless of what you believe the odds are, you are splitting a larger winning pool from the other side
sheldonthomas: i hadn'
t seen that graphing function. very nice. i lost my gpg key i registered on otc from 2011
mircea_popescu: so guise, we need to sit together and come up with a strategy to attract more dudes who don'
t know who they are but suspect it may be ceo in this thing of ours.
datz_: ok darn so IRC is too cheeky and suspicious to let me list here. don'
t say i didn'
t offer you the opportunity. will just have to stick with my own decentralized exchange :)
datz_: why i don'
t use IRC or have trust here
datz_: so i don;
t trust people on IRC
copumpkin: datz_: IRC isn'
t about the platform, it's about who you find on it
datz_: just don;
t use IRC
mircea_popescu: i thought he won'
t bet because all he had was a 25 bitcent share.
ThickAsThieves: the BRK bettor already saying he won'
t bet cuz it's in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: TomServo hey, what can i tell you. it's not that i didn'
t like it because they made safer
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I don'
t see the harm in making it a bit safer, the danger is still present
mircea_popescu: the point of life isn'
t to avoid people getting killed.
mircea_popescu: gotta love these fiat guys. 0.00450000 at a time, srsly, don'
t give yourselves a hernia folks
