TheNewDeal: weren't you the one who liked late easy money bets on bitbet? you should check out the current game of the week on WoL.
ben_vulpes: <
TheNewDeal> I failed a class called Design of Machine Elements. Fucking horridly boring class << applied statics and dynamics are fascinating topics, wrapped in problem sets designed to condition the student for a life in the mines.
BingoBoingo:
TheNewDeal: No, It was pretty shit. The Math classes were useful though.
BingoBoingo:
TheNewDeal: As an Undergrad I took... Astronomy...

TheNewDeal> can we post that up on the banner for the channel? < you mean "limerick and black dicks"
mircea_popescu:
Thenewdeal had a very very loose butt seal, on account of years of abuse and very hard use, but it didn't bother his zeal.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
TheNewDeal didn';t we just like marginalize a sucker for having dared to ask wtf is going on not an hour ago ?

TheNewDeal, whose nickname had little appeal; "I would change if I dare, but it's not here nor there," he did write and then GPG seal

TheNewDeal how painful it was - i recall it being more or less settled within a week

BingoBoingo:
TheNewDeal: Rejected tx's happen on a scale.
BingoBoingo:
TheNewDeal: Few BTC miners find mining empty blocks an economically optimal choice.
BingoBoingo:
TheNewDeal: Because what do the Big BTC pools that merge namecoin do? Almost uniformly they dump it. Now... there's enough NMC out there that a sufficiently well monetized party could stabilize the market, but doing so would be expensive and bloody
Rassah:
TheNewDeal: Bitcoin bet?
mircea_popescu:
TheNewDeal this was discussed earlier, re financial products. what the fuck is the buzzword, i forget
bitcoinpete:

benkay: <mircea_popescu>
TheNewDeal what's an asshole in the dark. // huh i coulda sworn you were talking about the differences just recently
mircea_popescu:
TheNewDeal: wouldn't be too far-fetched to see people being paid in bitcoin, avoiding government taxation << inasmuch as you've seen this like... yesterday ? yeah.
mircea_popescu:
TheNewDeal: seems like that is going to happen a dozen times over << im hoping about 5 (of which 3 already happened. 2 moar reserved for WCs)

TheNewDeal: probably cuz the last germany bet pulled in 13 BTC in like an hour.
mp_a_colonia:
TheNewDeal: just in case price jumps up really quickly, or whats the point? << for a long time that seemed like forever back in 2012, Luke-Jr was selling btc for 20 dollars each.

BingoBoingo:
TheNewDeal: Asks are thin, I merely offer liquidity.

jonvaage:
TheNewDeal: OT = Open Transactions
mircea_popescu:
TheNewDeal: The site profits off total volume, not someone forking over a risky bet on one side << nobody prevents you from covering the short end after bet is approved.
mircea_popescu:
TheNewDeal: Example was. If Bitpay is worth 1Billion usd, FB forks over 1 Billion USD, FB valuation stays same << this is an example out of the "spherical chicken in vacuum" variety.
benkay: ;;later tell
TheNewDeal you had it right the first time
benkay: what's strange about it,
TheNewDeal ?
davout:
TheNewDeal: if you give some low value thing in exchange for a zero-conf tx, you might find it useful to immediately get the information that someone is attempting a double spend, rather than having the info cock-blocked
davout:
TheNewDeal: i think what you're referring to is nodes banning some of their peers, you don't really ban nodes from the network
davout:
TheNewDeal: you don't double spend a transaction, you double spend an output, but other than that, nothing really until one of them gets into a mined block, more information can't really hurt
mircea_popescu:
TheNewDeal at the size of your purchase you can prollylet them go on one confirm. who's gonna dblspend for a can of coke

TheNewDeal:holy shit. Tesla was at 30$ last year? << ikr ? inflation!
mike_c:
TheNewDeal: last comment from me, i'm really not trying to sell you. But that 'tiny percentage' you were talking about from hedge fund managers is usually 2%. which is the same fee as coinbr in your 10 BTC example.
mike_c: ;;gettrust
TheNewDeal jurov
mike_c:
TheNewDeal: everyone says that because 1) you can't draw a line from previous diff changes to future (see moore's law), and 2) despite this it just keeps marching up.
