ozbot: [Cryptostocks]CFBTC - Crypto Fund BTCless seems CS/the issuer did a misstake
mircea_popescu: "It seems like neither Cryptostocks or the issuer behind this have the time to read throu the contracts before they publish it these days, "
pankkake: but the title say it escapes :)
davout: pankkake: you're right
mircea_popescu: that's a new angle : if you read the stuff crypto-whatever wannabe exchange publishes, you're roughly in the same set with idiots and grannies that still read the spam emails they get, tune in for cnbc newscasts etc
davout: funny you mention that,
davout: i happen to have a nigerian uncle that's in urgent need of 5 BTC to unlock the last presidents inheritance
davout: I've always wanted to try to reverse-scam these guys, sadly gmail has a good spam filter
BingoBoingo: davout: It isn't gmail. I'm finding there are generally just less spam emails in general these days
deadweasel: i've marked every havelock email ever as spam, yet it still shows up.
davout: "oh sure, I'll send you these $3000 to pay attorney fees to unlock the prince's inheritance, if you could just western union me a couple hundred bucks so i can fix my bike to get to the bank"
pankkake: light greylisting removed most of my spam
pankkake: so only crappy botnets still spam :p
davout: BingoBoingo: yeah, I think so too
BingoBoingo: davout: I imagine the answer is not less botnets and spammers, but more lite/doge miners and captcha solving occupying their time now.
davout: that sounds like a sensible explanation
BingoBoingo: I mean spam doesn't even pretend to offer a return ever. Solving captchas though offers some satoshis every nao and then.

benkay: repression of the people, iirc.

pankkake: "Serge Humpich is a person who discovered a serious flaw in the Carte Bleue system used in France for credit cards. He was convicted in 2000 to a ten months suspended sentence. He was 36 at the time, and lost his job as a result of the case."

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] [PAID] 7.41147624 BTC to 19`467 shares, 38072 satoshi per share
mircea_popescu: seems that your link supports the notion it is indeed visa fining.
punkman: when the merchant pays $30 to the processing bank, they don't turn around and give it to visa
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> incidentally, if the avaricious idiots move everybody to RFID cards sans crypto challenge/response << even if it has a challenge system, if it's made by the bank ppl... heh. glwt.
decimation: The greater criminal is the fiat central planners who enable the whole system
mircea_popescu: decimation so basically all crime stems from the existence of the state.
decimation: well, if you believe mancur olson the state are the stationary bandits who have grown fat and lazy
decimation: ascii, it would seem foolish to have an RFID with no challenge; as you point out it would make carding even simpler
decimation: There is talk amoung the elites in the us that there will be a push toward 'chip&pin'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and consequently making an android masturbator will be illegal because it could be used to plug the claw ?

kakobrekla: i think you can use blockr api for altcoin
decimation: sure; the fantasy is that fiat will hold value at its quantity approaches infinity
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: lets say i place a huge at market MPOE buy order into the book and it clears the book for like twenty levels. what price does assbot report the tick completing at?

mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids yeah that's prolly because your dataset only has one drop
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo inasmuch as it's mostly a reddit driven "omg we're retarded" panic, i doubt anyhing at all.
decimation: One must wonder, if each country in the world is truly soveirgn, why hasn't it occured to any of them to reinstate the gold standard?
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: not sure if the netsplit caused my bot to miss any ticks, but otherwise cant think of any reason why it would only have one
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, after the great fork of 11 months ago a blaming Hearn because redditards suck at picking primary key values for databases seems reasonable. (I mean both "crises" are essentially database problems)
mircea_popescu: decimation but it has. romania for instance is on the gold standard.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well sure, but the differences are more marked than the similarities.
decimation: I thought they were already on the euro - good for them if they have avoided it so far
mircea_popescu: nah, the local cb guy nixed the euro long ago, much to everyone's wtfitude. turns out he was right.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, that depends. 11 months ago there was a ridiculously central database derpocolypse. Nao there is a more subtle derpocolypse that doesn't seem as critical, but happens to hammer the fiat/BTC interface players hard while actual BTC cared about working too much to make those mistakes.
mircea_popescu: romania has since been stockpiling gold, it holds more per capita than most countries, and it enjoys the advantages
mircea_popescu: (for instance, the leu is worth in dollars/euros/whatever else exactly as much as romania says it is worth)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe we're not talking about the same thing. what exactly is "hammering the fiat/btc" interface ?
decimation: well that makes their state funded gold mine even more retarded
mircea_popescu: it'd be "private", as in romanian govt gives to some random third party the place and gets in exchange some nothing at all.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Rendering the Gox and Stamp, two cans and a string exchanges with these corrected transactions (corrected because leading zeros in signatures suck).
decimation: why not declare the whole thing part of the romanian central bank to be mined an paid when it advantages Romania?
mircea_popescu: it's one of those "hey, let you give us free money" deals a la coinbase.
mircea_popescu: decimation i was under the impression i had said exactly that :D
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know that a) gox is lieing about it being a problem and b) all the other scammers happy to follow suit
benkay: plus the moles might get to slip some bullshit into the newer client protocol
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course. And should they weather this storm to scam again, the retardedness of their excuse makes their herp all the more evident.
decimation: Is there a coherent analysis of this supposed transaction problem somewhere?
decimation: You also said in the past that the 'dev team' ought to write a complete api/interface spec
BingoBoingo: decimation: I've been drafting one this week. Dunno if I will get techincal enough for you decimation
BingoBoingo: decimation: No mircea_popescu Wants a spec.
mircea_popescu: decimation i merely observed that whoever is doing that is the dev team
mircea_popescu: and anyone else claiming to be the dev team is roughly in the position of various people on the forum claiming to be financiers.
decimation: well, something is better than nothing. It sucks to wade through crap cpp code to find out how something works
BingoBoingo: decimation: The thing is this problem nao isn't in the BTC code at all.
BingoBoingo: At least not as I understand problem and BTC code
BingoBoingo: As I understand the narrative, this is a n00bier database problem than 11 months ago.
benkay: decimation: are you interested in working on a BNF rendering of the bitcoin network protocol?
BingoBoingo: The problem is Derp php coders making website.

benkay: THERE IS NO FORMAL DEFINITION OF THE NETWORK PROTOCOL

decimation: yeah the concept of forth on javascript is hilarious, but it's a fun toy
BingoBoingo: An interesting contest might be to see who can develop a cryptocurrency incorporating features agreed to be essential to bitcoin in the least amount of code (self contained so any calls that would be to external libraries have to be brought in)
decimation: ideally - reduce it down to a credit card form factor
decimation: true. so many interesting advancements must wait for a well-documented spec
mircea_popescu: decimation as a point of strategy, the would-be dev team power ranges may be foolish, but they're useful fools.
BingoBoingo: Making a minimal functional client for the purposes of documenting a spec might make a rather ultimate battlegound in the C vs. LISP wars
mircea_popescu: a shoddy bitcoin #1 is actually quite useful, you can have bitcoin #2 all prepared in the background.
Azelphur: Python programmer as day job, can confirm.
benkay: if i might offer a different perspective, there are several disparate concerns that could be tackled independently and independent of language wars.
benkay: there's the network client, the thing responsible for connecting to the bitcoin/litecoin/altcoin network downloading blocks and broadcasting txns
benkay: and then there's blockchain validation
decimation: these can and ought to be split into modules
benkay: (outta my face - where's the source?!?!)
benkay: i believe (and i'm open to suggestions and corrections from those wiser and more experienced than myself) that the appropriate implementation path for both the blockchain validatoin and the network client is a state machine describing the valid states of the validator and network client respectively, the messages they can process and what states those messages kick each machine into
benkay: what's more, a state machine approach satisfies the "spec" that mircea_popescu has been going on for lo these many forevers
benkay: it's a formal definition of bitcoin, as opposed to the ad-hoc cpp hairball-as-canonical-thinger
benkay: or it would be if anyone would write it
mike_c: it's not clicking why a state machine would make it great.
decimation: yeah that sounds legit. I wish the same brain who invented bitcoin were around to help perfect it.
mike_c: what are a couple states the machine would pass through? I don't see it.
mike_c: take the blockchain validator for instance.
benkay: i'd rather take the network client actually
benkay: transition to state: exchange version messages
benkay: transition to state: getblocks | state: getaddrs
mike_c: yeah, so, i believe all the hairiness would be in implementing what goes on in those states anyway. i'm not sure structuring the high level stuff around states would neccesarily make it much cleaner.

mike_c: it being a state machine is an implementation detail. a definition and spec would make the world better.
mircea_popescu: the wet being water isn't an implementation detail, is it ?
mircea_popescu: it's a state machine whether we know/admit/notice this or not.
mike_c: any program can be thought of that way.
benkay: and maybe most should?
mike_c: it's the definiton & spec of what goes on in those states that is more needed.
benkay: the english definition's been written by those who are capable of writing english definitions and not state machines, and its time for someone to write the state machine
benkay: 'cause WHOOO BOY have you read the textual spec?
mike_c: so a UML diagram helps? I don't think it does.
benkay: mike_c: you can compile a formally defined state machine into a parser in the language of your choice. it's not an academic exercise.
92AAAD6TI: are you saying that a graph is defined by how its nodes are labeled and not their relationships?
mike_c: yes, rational rose will convert UML to code. shitty code that is far from done.
mike_c: whoa, we chased everyone away
benkay: or something industry hardened like BNF
mike_c: But what you end with is the same thing we have "the code is the spec".
herbijudlestoids: sorry, was raging to my team about the shittiest con call i was just on
benkay: except a CPP hairball is not a formal definition, and BNF is, well, a formal definition.
mike_c: would you want to try and understand a complex system by reading BNF?
BingoBoingo: Hell, even a hairball of K&R C could almost pass muster as a spec

mike_c: benkay: did you survive ddos? i wasn't asking rhetorically.
benkay: mike_c: it's the difference between algebra and java.
benkay: i went to the bathroom
mike_c: ah :) i guess i'm saying i wouldn't want algebra or java to be the spec.
benkay: algebra is entirely acceptable for the spec of both network protocol and blockchain parsing.
benkay: arguably, if you can't figure it out you shouldn't be fucking with it, and if you can't spend the time to learn the notation ditto.
benkay: bitcoin is most emphatically not for dilletantes.
Mats_cd03: i have a great idea: what if someone offered a service for n number of nodes spawned through e.g. digitalocean
benkay: you lost me at crowdfunded baby
BingoBoingo: benkay: Some parts of bitcoin are friendlier to dilettantes than others.
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: i understand, and apologise, but still, would value thoughts and opinions on what i think is a good article. if you like i can pastebin it?

benkay: BingoBoingo: yeah, like the part where you buy 'em.
benkay: not even the part where you guarantee their security yourself as the buying party.
B007_: digitalocean will lock your accout automatically if they recieve abuse complaints about you
mike_c: yeah.. not about understanding the notation. i can read assembly too, but i'd rather read C. but perhaps for something like the network protocol you're right.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I suffered through reading it. It isn't bad. I've found tear gas relatively not that bad.
benkay: lissen mike_c i gotta dip a few blocks over to a nerd thing i'll be back online in like 20 or 30 minutes
Mats_cd03: is that something you think people would be interested in
decimation: Mats; I doubt anyone here wants to reinvent S3
BingoBoingo: benkay: I'd venture even securing coins is something a casual user could do.
BingoBoingo: So long as the coins are one's personal coins
herbijudlestoids: decimation: you mean like openstack swift has done? ;) but i dont think thats what he was referring to
herbijudlestoids: i think hes just saying bitcoind VM instances, spawned in IaaS, funded by BT
herbijudlestoids: decimation: someone was complaining earlier that the number of nodes in the bitcoin network running the actual "reference implementation" that avoids this transaction malleability issue has dropped from ~10,000s in 2011 to ~1000 today
mike_c: A formal definition for protocol is necessary, but also insufficient. So now you know "how". But if you don't know "why", you are still going to end up fucked. The why is more important.
ozbot: #bitcoin-assets log
decimation: mike, I think the "why" can only be conveyed in plain English, like an RFC
mike_c: let's get some PEP's in here.

MisterE: BingoBoingo: the problem is Gox's own fuckedup internal wallet system that allowed double spending.
MisterE: the BTC malleability bug has been known for better part of a year
BingoBoingo: MisterE: Right, but that is like a super n00by database problem
mike_c: if only they had a PEP to refer to when working on their custom shit.
MisterE: Typical Japanese / Asian to blame anything other than themselves to save face
MisterE: sorry if thats sterotyping lived here 8-years, its true
MisterE: BingoBoingo: I reckon it was a problem with scaling
pankkake: are those custom wallets really necessary?
mike_c: custom shit is always necessary when you scale big.
MisterE: FB almost went dark because they couldn't scale their php to run in huge distributed environments well
BingoBoingo: MisterE: Seems if they are are honest more of a problem of picking the wrong values to use as database primary keys.
MisterE: a couple breakthroughs such as hiphop and the hip hop vm jit compiler saved their ass by like weeks
pankkake: well facebook is a pile of bad decisions
MisterE: I suspect Cox ran into a similar wall but without FBs resources

MisterE: transactions must move out of the blockchain it cant grow forever
BingoBoingo: The Gox, if they are reliable narrators, problem is they rely on txid as a primary key in their databases. txid makes a poor primary key
MisterE: so exchanges have their own internal chains
BingoBoingo: MisterE: Exchanges don't have their own internal chains. They just handle the actual chain poorly
MisterE: they must there can't be 1 chain forever
pankkake: you don't need a blockchain internally if you have trust
MisterE: already coinbase does internal wallets stuff
mike_c: benkay: i decided we need PEPs first, not BNF.
pankkake: by multiple bitcoinds I just meant multiple bitcoinds. like multiple frontend servers
MisterE: if you transfer within CB it doesn;t show in the blockchain
MisterE: not sure exactly what they are doing
MisterE: they sure do fill up my timeline with tweets a lot though
MisterE: the best investment in BTC is infrastructure provider, who got rich on ever gold rush? not the miners, the people who sold them gear. BTC network infrastructure for transactions is the future of financial transactions even if BTC is not the coin / currency in use
mircea_popescu: MisterE who are you and what makes you think you have something to say ?
MisterE: anybody who says they know shit about BTC should be ignored
ozbot: Why S.MPOE is worth more than MtGox pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
benkay: oh you decided on PEPs did you?
mike_c: 2014 version: because you can withdraw your bitcoin
mike_c: benkay: yes. need the why more than the how.
benkay: mike_c: is that a reference to the Python Enhancement Proposal?
benkay: no man bitcoin is in feature freeze
mike_c: feature freeze is fine, write PEPs for the features already existing :)
benkay: for sensible, constrained declarations of a) network client behaviors and b) blockchain parsing
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 34400 @ 0.00087086 = 29.9576 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: for the lolz of it : mpex actually discontinued withdrawals first
mircea_popescu: it's just in mpex' case it's been a private joke rather than the sad reality
mike_c: my counterargument was that a formal definition (be it BNF or fpga) of those is less useful than an english spec explaining rationale.
B007: mircea_popescu: how many btc do you have
mircea_popescu: there's some post where the girl's counting it much to pietilla's delight.
mike_c: fpga that did blockchain parsing would completely ignore tx malleabiality (as it should). PEP would tell you WHY you are ignoring it, so when you are writing custom shit you don't mess it up.
MisterE: :p nevermind me, I'm a n00b here and dunno who is friends
mike_c: but but, perfect implementation does not help you when you are adding things.
ozbot: Twitter / TomHoepfner: @freenodestaff ok, thx - was ...
mike_c: both necessary, but perfect implementation is insufficient.

mike_c: and less important while we are applying our limited resources.
mike_c: hmm. interesting point. it just makes for a bumpier ride.
BingoBoingo: MisterE: Well, in Bitcoin polite is neither asking now answering exaclty how much BTC one holds. If you must ask, Roughly or Publically how much BTC do you hold is on the line of acceptable. As far as answering though even saying "I hold between zero and inside your mom right now BTC" is still polite.
MisterE: :P it is still irc afterall
MisterE: too bad I missed out on the ponzi
B007: I hope no btc is in ur mom
BingoBoingo: MisterE Bitcoin introduces interesting features though, like information is only privledged one way.
MisterE: if it goes back to $1k I'll go in there and retrieve it :d
mike_c: the problem is bitcoin has no competition. so we get away with doing a crappy job.
B007: anon wants money 176im9MN1AbWFJZ9saFnCgXXGZB4iBABhH

BingoBoingo: B007: But a laundry maker in your pooper, write Bingo on your left asscheek and Boingo on your right asscheek. I'll pay 0.01 BTC for the picture.
MisterE: they want their own NSA proof internets, impossible I know, but...
B007: wtf is a laundry maker
BingoBoingo: B007: if anon wants BTC they have to play their pooper
BingoBoingo: B007: You might be agreeable to that price next year, but the offer won't be there.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: wait. i disagree. how are you supposed to learn the rationale? this is why something BingoBoingo collecting satoshi's mails are useful.

BingoBoingo: B007: No, next year it might be worth too much to spend on your dignity. Buttcoins are purely deflationary.
B007: mircea_popescu: where is my money
mircea_popescu: how was one supposed to think logically before aristotle got around to writing logics ?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SFI] 180 @ 0.0008351 = 0.1503 BTC [+]
mike_c: yes, which is why i think the logic of bitcoin being organized is more important than the perfect implementation.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, they debated Parimenides versus Heraclitus and just raped each other.
mike_c: ok, i've beaten this horse.
MisterE: mike_c: at this point in time I agree
MisterE: eventualy you have to ship
mike_c: yes. and perhaps satoshi could write that. barring that, i think the order should be: we agree on the rationale, then are capable of writing the kalishnikov version.
mircea_popescu: no, because this is not art an we aren't making a vase.
mircea_popescu: this is science, we're describing an actual real process.
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of agreeing how we'd like the vase to look, but a matter of representing how gravity actually and in fact does work
mike_c: you don't build the perfect factory by starting to build the machines. you figure out the overall process first, the steps. then you build the robots.
mircea_popescu: why are you so focused on the building and implementation notional universe ?
mike_c: the fricking white paper came before the code
mircea_popescu: mike_c i suspect the code only came because the response to the paper was a particular brand of retarded.
mike_c: asciilifeform: ok.. so you are saying reverse engineer instead of start from the top.
BingoBoingo: I can't believe B007 quit before I had the chance to drop links
mike_c: it does not and should not.
mike_c: only the bridge builder one
mike_c: hmm. we're talking about different jokes. i'm talking about bob the bridge builder
mircea_popescu: mike_c buncha teams are presenting offers to build a brige. they all start from both sides. one team has laser sensors and whatever, the 2nd satellite and whatnot
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I am pretty sure the solution to that problem is skipping ms-dos or any other os nd just writing asm hello world
mircea_popescu: the third is more flegmatic. either one or two bridges.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Slimmest turd is a different contest. That is easily solved through copious amunts of magnesium citrate and not allowing turds to leave solution in water.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: i don't get the joke, but i get your point.
mircea_popescu: well it's supposed to be funny by contrast. the one team that didn't need tech

BingoBoingo: I heard Hemmingway liked Abercrombie and Fitch
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids the point in quesiton is "throw away the first chapter of your novel"
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.56 BTC [+]
herbijudlestoids: in reference to the current bitcoin "reference implementation"?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Also throw away the last 2/3rds
mike_c: no doubt. we need bitcoin 2.0. same math, new code.
pankkake: what about the Go implementation?
mike_c: who has nothing to do the rest of the year?
herbijudlestoids: i was under the impression that the existing implmentation was pretty well coded (at least from a security perspective) but it seems like most on here disagree
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids the original stuff was poorly written by one unexperienced coder with a lot of system design experience.
mircea_popescu: it has since been "fixed" in the hands of mediocre coders with no system design comprehension whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: the resultant mess is unusable past about 0.6.x or thereabouts, for these reasons.
☟︎ pankkake: the initial code was horrible, couldn't get it to compile, full of wxwindows crap where there shouldn't be. stayed away :/
pankkake: just having bitcoind with no GUI code was than achievement
herbijudlestoids: from a development perspective? as in unusable to modify/update the code?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Do you know Algebraic notation well enough to play in text?
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids what is customarily meant by unusable. "which can't be used for its intended purpose"
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: been a while with algebraic notation but moderately confident i could pick it up quickly enough for such purpose
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo has been looking for someone to beat ever since truffles ran off
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: so the bitcoind/bitcoin-qt implementation cannot be used for its intended purpose of sending/receiving/storing bitcoin blockchain whatevers

BingoBoingo: Twas on the night I almost finished a handle of Vodka
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Do you have a favored color?
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: not particularly...is this one of those trick questions where you psychologically evluate my expertise as a player with a simple one liner?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Davout is also been asking if he can get a late entry into the round robin.
pankkake: herbijudlestoids: that seems like a typical BingoBoingo trick yes
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: No. You just said you play poorly so taking you at face value I want to know if you have a stronger color, which might make the game more interesting.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I just hate games like when truffles annoyed me into playing him while I was sober.
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: sorry dude i am just recovering from some illness and about to go full pelt into a bunch of work related things as we are growing rapidly now...you want someone with more free time :)
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: How about pick head or tails?
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids for the same reason you're not fucking all the floozies in your town right now.
herbijudlestoids: i have a friend who may be interested, he loves teh chezz, online etc...dunno about text based but i assume he would be into it
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: im not hacking into your wallet because i feel drained and empty whenever i hear it talk?
BingoBoingo: Ok, anyone who isn't a scaredy cat OZ pussy interest in playing/
herbijudlestoids: would any of you sirs be interested in purchasing a small amount of ATC off me, for the sole purpose of increasing my WoT rating from 0?
mircea_popescu: it's wonderbread. i wouldn't use it and i don't agree it's bread. you could say this is me being elitist, you could devise some tests of breadess wonderbread passes
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I might be willing to sell ATC at the right price, but my drunk ass isn't buying.
herbijudlestoids: not really looking for anything except as a mechanism to get into WoT usefully
BingoBoingo: ATC hasn't traded at the midpoint on Openex though. It has traded at the asks
benkay: mike_c: are you satisfied with <asciilifeform> the only truly unambiguous definition of a computation is the
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: And we are talking pricing. Unless you do like the candy shop and package the atc with a teddy bear, there is no room for a premium to be demanded.
herbijudlestoids: ok...whatever...ill take the ask, i dont really care about the price
BingoBoingo: benkay: You ever play chess. I think you could beat me soundly
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: No, we are discussing constraints of the system.
mike_c: benkay: yes, i was just saying it is insufficient. it describes the process, but does not help you extend it or use it because you don't know any of the rationale. we worked the point over pretty good about an hour ago :)
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: wut? all i am trying to do is establish some WoT creds
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 1143 @ 0.00012401 = 0.1417 BTC [-]
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Then maybe trade something other than an altcoin?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he's not a virgin, so there's the end of that.
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: and how the f am i supposed to sell other shit on -otc without a WoT rating?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I didn't think anyone on this channel was a virgin
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Well, you have any MPOE?
herbijudlestoids: so the answer is no. nobody is willing to purchase a small amount of ATC off me for the purpose of establishing my trust on WoT
mike_c: s.nsa went cheap today. somebody got a great deal.

BingoBoingo: After the time it takes to withdraw 27500 ATC from Openex I'd be willing to sell it for the same 645 satoshi bid I have nao.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: You forget the part where you could buy the ATC
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There is barely anything stoping 645 from happening
KRS-One: of course becase there isnt any demand or volume
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There'a actually barely anything on the book preventing 10,000 satoshis as well though
KRS-One: I could put my dick out there and gt a few bucks for it
mike_c: 10k blocks of ATC have sold for 500 satoshi
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This offer isn't for you then. I wrote it for the Dogers.

moiety: i only just found ctrl alt shift!
BingoBoingo: moiety: I feel lied to. You told me months ago you were linuxing. Back when you adopted smuxi as your IRC client
mike_c: benkay: yes, i just don't think a reference implementation counts as well defined. so TCP_KEEPALIVE is set to 100. why? was that picked intellignetly, randomly, or it doesn't really fking matter? you don't know from implementation.
moiety: i am still at the same position as that day BingoBoingo. I can still see the linux CDs on top of my pc. I just never used them yet
moiety: and i tried to get bitchx to work talking of irc but really failed with that.
BingoBoingo: moiety: If that is the case just skip linux and go to a BSD or Gentoo
moiety: check me oot with ma two wee cmds!
moiety: well, i had been wondering about bsd
moiety: c'mon you just gave me the way to two, lets not blow them up mircea_popescu

moiety: you're always drunk. you'll get a quick win!
moiety: unless its on a crackhead
herbijudlestoids: its like being proud that any small actor with $5million can destroy your coin
pankkake: it's actually worse, being asic proof makes you vulnerable to botnets, supercomputers, clouds, anything you can rent for CHEAP
mircea_popescu: "Now that Bitcoin computational power is handled almost entirely by large data centers, the currency has rapidly changed from a distributed, decentralized currency, to one that is much more centralized and vulnerable. Companies such as Cex.io are routinely hitting 40% PoW computational power on a daily basis, and will soon be able to perform 51% attacks at will, if they so choose."
mircea_popescu: derp. wasn't it btcguild that had 40%ish back in feb 2013 ?
BingoBoingo: moiety: How about heads or tails (knowing I'd prefer black)
pankkake: I remember when deepbit was the big bad
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the essence is, some people have a fundamental but unspoken disagreement with the basic premise behind mining. <<< exactly.
BingoBoingo: phriends, are people still making blue boxes?
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is constantly being colonised by people who have fundamental but unverbalised disagreements with its fundamental principles.
herbijudlestoids: i dont think any phone system has in band signalling since the early 90s, even in oz

herbijudlestoids: pankkake: but some projects are still projects even though they had huge risk of becoming nonprojects. like freenet! and i2p!

moiety: ive been taught it wrong then. i have been trying to move c1 to d3.
BingoBoingo: The L moiety is defined such that your knight at b1 could move to a3, c3, or d2
bitcoinpete: BingoBoingo: Though I was able to show one that the vagaries of language are to contracts what kraft is to dinner
BingoBoingo: moiety: The piece you should have on c1 is a Bishop
moiety: aw fuck i see whati got wrong
moiety: you're watching me learn here
bitcoinpete: I quite like that there's a chess game going on. Haven't noticed one before when reading the logs
moiety: as long as you aren't getting more annoyed thats fine
BingoBoingo: moiety: As long as you don't press for speed chess like truffles I'm fine
bitcoinpete: This is a truly fascinating corner of the net
herbijudlestoids: moiety: whats that saying..."never argue with an idiot, theyll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" ...i feel like if anyone reasonably tried to match BingoBoingo they would lose...but you are winning at lulz here
moiety: lolol moiety and speed chess in the same sentence
moiety: well thats a win in my book herbi! :D
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I lose all of the time in chess
bitcoinpete: BingoBoingo: I've been reading the logs for the last few days after reading Trilema for the last 8-9 months. It's about I made my way here
bitcoinpete: BingoBoingo: I've been reading the logs for the last few days after reading Trilema for the last 8-9 months. It's about I made my way here
BingoBoingo: Sweet Bitcoinpete, nice to see someone does the reading
moiety: i'm saving for trilema, i haven't wanted a subscription before
bitcoinpete: herbijudlestoids: did not… Any client suggestions for mac?
bitcoinpete: herbijudlestoids: did not… Any client suggestions for mac?
moiety: oh yeah i meant 3 not 4
moiety: i'mbad for hopping extra, sorry
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: Maybe try a different client?
MisterE: so they begrudgingly passed a debt ceiling bill
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: lol debt ceiling is a joke, right? considering QE to the tune of 80bn/month atm?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 25250 @ 0.00087099 = 21.9925 BTC [+] {2}
MisterE: herbijudlestoids: yea they could get their shit together and not need to raise it
MisterE: cur foreign aid and military
moiety: damnit i thought i stole a manny there
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: the debt is too large to be reasonably be paid back. it will be defaulted on or inflated away (stealth default) or similar.
MisterE: what they couldn't do is make the cuts they should / need to make because it would put a bunch of peopl eout of work
MisterE: yea thats why they started letting the dollar weaken
moiety: i'm back to smuxi, but i would really like to get BitchX going, i just couldn't get it to work
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: you do realise that foreign aid in toto, including military stuff, is 1% of the US budget?
MisterE: that may be direct foregn cash aid but I doubt that covers military
moiety: ive got xchat. whinges at me all the time and smuix is cuter. will look up irssi herbi!
MisterE: well if it is really that small then start whacking away at the defense and DHS / surveillance state budgets
moiety: oi no thanks, you took my dude there didnt you
MisterE: no way, they send just that much to Israel alone every year
moiety: i'm telling mircea on you
mircea_popescu: bloctoc it doesn't seem to be popular. why do you ask ?
BingoBoingo: moiety: I'd be more worried if you told kakobrekla
MisterE: hmm I wonder how much $3bn could do for schools
MisterE: but thats a lot lower than I expected where are you getting numbers from?
bitcoinpete: member:mircea_popescu: If you remember me, I'd be flattered :D
moiety: i haven't really noticed assbot, i saw an ozbot.. and i like gribble a lot!
MisterE: I haven't been putting any out heh
bloctoc: just trying to find out if it's the real deal. I like the fact that certain operations get more hard coded over time and high use. It sounds a lot like how neural pathways get created. Other than that, it's pretty much the same group of folks evangelizing today that were evangelizing ripple last year.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: I kept the same screen name with exactly that in mind
moiety: scrap that i dont know where my own men are
mircea_popescu: why's bitcoinpete saying things twice why's bitcoinpete saying things twice
moiety: f1-b5 im sure i can have
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: its not that im disagreeing with you on certain issues, but its impotant to have the correct information.
MisterE: Since 1974, Israel has received nearly $100 billion in assistance. OK thats less than I thought
herbijudlestoids: for example, because you have incorrect information, you believe the US can fix its problem, whereas i feel the monetary issue in the US has reached escape velocity
MisterE: well given the current mindset I agree
MisterE: but we can all tighten our belts and balance our checkbooks if there is a real desire
BingoBoingo: moiety: You are in check so addressing that is priority 1
MisterE: Americans are too spoiled so will let it all go to hell instead
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: *we* have nothing to do with it, when the US Federal Reserve is QEing to the tune of 80bn/month
herbijudlestoids: they are printing cash to meet obligations and dumping it on your front lawn.
ozbot: Exclusive: EU executive sees personal savings used to plug long-term financing gap
MisterE: oh that's just the latest face of their printing presses running at full speed
MisterE: before QE it was direct cash injections into banks
herbijudlestoids: the point is that if everyone tightened their belt it has no relevance if on the other side of the field they are spewing tickets.
mircea_popescu: <bloctoc> " pretty much the same group of folks evangelizing today that were evangelizing ripple last year." and therein you have your answer.
mircea_popescu: same useless pile of crap, same troop of vultures, same spiel.
MisterE: yea it probaby has to go to hell for anything to ever be done about the fed
herbijudlestoids: just like putting a freeze on banker salaries does not stop certain banks from being giant black holes for capital
BingoBoingo: moiety: Study the board. You are down three pawns. I'm going to the garage to smoke a cigarette. Use these 5-7 minutes to come up with a plan.
mircea_popescu: except this time they had the sense to stick to altspace and so i couldn't care less
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: hell or not i dunno...we are just talking about the obligations of the US Government otherwise called a dollar.
moiety: aww fuck man thats pretty different from mine
MisterE: which is not worth the paper it's printed on
MisterE: backed up by a stack of IOUs
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids austerity would in fact have solved the problem, back in FY 2009-2010, while creating ohter problems.
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: those two statements have *always* been true, at least since 1970s
MisterE: actually dollars are rags not paper
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i dont disagree that GFC was a chance to rebalance
MisterE: there was a chance in the late 00s
moiety: well bloody b1 - d2 for a start bingo lol
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids just, there wasn't who to go on tv and say "you can either all starve and your kids can have a country to live in or else we continue derping around and we might as well just go buy the rope now. so i've chosen for you to starve, stfu and eat it with the big spoon"
moiety: aw herbi, hes got tons o my bits
herbijudlestoids: my feeling is that we will just continue to repeat the current boom/bust cycle until one of the cycles kills the dollar as a global reserve asset and the euro takes over
MisterE: mircea_popescu: American's can't handle that
mircea_popescu: MisterE their problem, cause nobody's askin what you can handle.
MisterE: they will be in the street with their guns, serious civil unrest
herbijudlestoids: i dont want to make predictions in this discussion, leave it to you
MisterE: thats why I left 8-years ago and now live in Asia
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids i was gonna say, you dun got 2 bitcents :D
MisterE: I tried to buy $100 of BTC at $5 and the site was all funky I could not figure how to get my money transfered in and so I let it go
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: BTC was 30 three years ago, but not 2
BingoBoingo: BTC first hit $31 on the Adrian CHen Silk Road Story.
BingoBoingo: And two years ago was $5-11 because GLBSE scam and BTCST scam
BingoBoingo: Most of summer 2012 BTC was around 11 until the Pirate default.
bitcoinpete: MisterE: At least you finally bought in. I get a kick out of people who were similarly unwilling to get past the exchange rigamarole and now say it's too expensive.
MisterE: pfft the upside is still exponential
MisterE: plus I been buying the dips
jcpham: where can i get bitcoins?
MisterE: If you live in a big city localbitcoins.com
jcpham: i trolling this chat is retarded to me
jcpham: i love hearing history lessons fromstrangers
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: If you find any I have a standing offer on my blog selling bullshit filering services.
jcpham: basically i hang out in these channels to scoop up your free info
MisterE: invoice is in the mail jcpham
herbijudlestoids: jcpham: nobody minds, better you get it here than elsewhere. if it was secret the chan'd be +k and half wouldnt bein here
MisterE: actually expanding the community benefits us all
herbijudlestoids: i have never met anyone as jaded as the likes of mircea_popescu or BingoBoingo lol
jcpham: no fucks were given that day mircea_popescu
jcpham: i've seen every bitcoin scam and they just repeat
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: As I can tell the difference is MP has been shot where as I have merely had a shotgun pointed inches from my face
gribble: Error: "urban" is not a valid command.
ozbot: Urban Dictionary: jaded
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: The baits have two cans, add a string and you too can be Gox
bitcoinpete: *sigh* I have a feeling I'm going to be spending more time here. Too early to tell whether that's a good thing but I'm inexplicably drawn in by this circus
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: im making my own exchange. with blackjack and hookers.
MisterE: yea bitcoinpete the rest of the BTC channels are lame
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: You can just lurk, I mean look at the lsit online. It is the way of most people. IRC nearly demands it.
bitcoinpete: no one else pointed anywhere else so here I am
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids hopefully australia has better hookers than what they found in miami
BingoBoingo: You can try #bitcoin-otc if you like self induced concussions
MisterE: mircea_popescu: they do but their coke sucks
mircea_popescu: til that the sole path for bilirubin elimination is through the uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase isoform 1A1
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids actually... there's a trilema article on the subject
BingoBoingo: I tell you all magnesium citrate is a hell of a way to pass a drug test
herbijudlestoids: oh...ok..well i already inquired and got the explanation to that q long ago :)
bitcoinpete: I don't remember that from biochem 200 or physl 2xx.
MisterE: what language is that site in?
BingoBoingo: I haven't had a bio class since 7th grade.
bitcoinpete: I had two romanian architects living with me all summer
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: On Doge terms that is 20k satoshis
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo e-05 would be 5 zeroes. so that's 3 digit satoshi price
bitcoinpete: they loved Jaime Oliver and cooked up a storm
herbijudlestoids: gribble reports it in 'hard-for-retards-to-understand' format... ; 62700/2621404453 ~0.00002391847619250229
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But Altcoin rules, ignore 3 of the zeros like Doge does.
bitcoinpete: The "husband" would spend hours slaving over the stove while the "wife" would read
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete now that's emancipated. were they in their 20s ?
herbijudlestoids: i bought some books before i got sick...graham greene "our man in havana" (i own almost all his novels now) and flaubert "madame bovary"
BingoBoingo: You know who is emaciated, those creepy ass ski jumpers
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I did and then I buried it with crap

herbijudlestoids: how can QI be put in the same line with Top Gear and Americas Next Top Model
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: DO you have Hulu where you are at?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Well I ask about Hulu because Appilacian Outlaws is the best reality show for understanding Bitcoin.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15700 @ 0.00086675 = 13.608 BTC [-] {3}
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I'm trying to talk to bitcoinpete about tv shows. I am barely drunk.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: If you think I am so intoxicated are you up for a game after this one with moiety is over?
bitcoinpete: BingoBoingo: I don't have Hulu. Just got Netflixes
herbijudlestoids: no, you owe me one discussion about turtle F2F, retroshare and why you use neither.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Because anonymity is over rated
herbijudlestoids: although i did learn today that retroshares routing algorithm is in fact inspired by turtle
BingoBoingo: But on public nets you have to account for the meta-NSA
BingoBoingo: meta-NSA has the solution to all crypto in a drawer
BingoBoingo: The only way to deal with meta-NSA is to invite them to lick your balls
herbijudlestoids: can you pls clarify, private net == LAN? or private net == F2F VPN
BingoBoingo: Private net is a net where you know all participants.
herbijudlestoids: i dont think turtle/retroshare is designed as anything but...definitely not for public net
BingoBoingo: Turtle routing is great for that. You can all watch 12 years an Oscar winnrar on that
mrkent: Anyone know where the ASIC Miner direct share spreadsheet is?
mrkent: BingoBoingo, how do people trade direct shares?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: The reason to dislike that stuff is IRL friends are too cool for internet crimes
mrkent: herbijudlestoids, no i thought there was one where it displays which address owns which shares
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: yea fair enough. i also get the feeling that retroshare might not have the highest code quality
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I can't trust that the petty shit isn't backdoored from the start
BingoBoingo: I've got misdemeanor charges to still fight

herbijudlestoids: i was supposed to be in bed recuperating but who can sleep when the greatest chess match of all time is happening in -assets
BingoBoingo: moiety: It's fine, just maybe try going on the offensive for a change?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I've actually lost in this chan
BingoBoingo: moiety: I know, but seriously where is your aggression. You were white? Where are the whips?
moiety: oh i thought you thought i was being too agressive
BingoBoingo: moiety: No, It's like you have spent the entire game as an Olympic snowboarder is a green haze.
moiety: i can say it is much easier now i can see the board
BingoBoingo: moiety: Well you have two moves before things becomem hopeless.
BingoBoingo: moiety: Force me to do something other than end you.
BingoBoingo: shit, I only have 3 inches of Vodka left in this fifth
ozbot: imgur: the simple image sharer
BingoBoingo: moiety: This is an anti Doge channel. The best Doge thing to come out of here was selling Sochi DOge skins to the slants.
moiety: im not particularly pro doge... really is everywhere is all.
BingoBoingo: moiety: And how can I be racist. I am black. You moved first trying to colonize my half of the board.
moiety: ive never seen anything in the centre of a letter on google results, its bizarre
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Unity on FreeBSD ain't bad though.
moiety: and what did you just do
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I won't confirm or deny it. Maybe Open BSD, maybe NetBSD, maybe FreeBSD.
BingoBoingo: Unity is awfully portable though and better than GNOME Shell
BingoBoingo: I also don't much trust that false successor to gnome 2
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Maybe you need an actual substance abuse problem like me. That might bring your mind to sense.
BingoBoingo: By substance I mean Bitcoin. An Aristotelian substance.
BingoBoingo: I have had so much and squandered so much.
BingoBoingo: Not a save herbijudlestoids, an actual meaning
BingoBoingo: Actual meaning refering to "is does something"
BingoBoingo: I really dunno what all the Unity hate is over anyways
moiety: sorry trying to change my gpg key and failing
BingoBoingo: moiety: You have to take, interpose, or move to address my Bishop on c3
moiety: hang on have i moved you to the wrong place
moiety: i meant c3 before as well
moiety: g2 has a dude, no it is h3, why am i not allowed that
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete by the way, the circus you see ? this is the house of a free market. that's how one looks, circus-y
BingoBoingo: moiety: Because you are in check. Your king is in imminent danger. The Bishop on c3 threatens to take it.
moiety: i thought bishops can only move diagonally
BingoBoingo: You have to kill my Bishop, Block its attack, or evacuate your king
BingoBoingo: moiety: My bishop is attacking your king on a diagonal
herbijudlestoids: hmm mircea_popescu thx i will check it out at the bookstore. any thoughts on madame bovary?

herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: just out of morbid curiosity, what is wrong with ...xchess, for example?
mircea_popescu: there's a trilema post from back in 2009 where some romanian studying at the sorbonne who dared not like it is excruciated by my readership.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Mostly sloppy coding and weird errors
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: pls link? ill feed it to google translate (assuming its in romani)

BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: It actually is because trilema is built the right way.

bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: it's a salty circus, which is good because I might actually learn something

herbijudlestoids: The variants neger and negar, derive from the Spanish and Portuguese word negro (black), and from the now-pejorative French n?gre (negro).

BingoBoingo: Last week 160 Satoshis per was nearly charity.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Generally they don't buy the exchange's ask because this is Altcoin and they have WOT.

HeySteve2: it is due to be launched tomorrow, with lots of love from Doge pump and dumper Wolong
mircea_popescu: HeySteve2 does it have a sarcasm detection mechanism ?
HeySteve2: indeed, but I forgot the best feature. Wolong said he's ready to work with authorities to combat terrorism right in the announce thread
HeySteve2: well, the coin launched with an open letter from Wolong.

mircea_popescu: this is not actually correct. the correct way is triangular network designs.

mircea_popescu: it's funny how this battle goes over the years. africa, south america and central asia are colonised, because they suck.
mircea_popescu: however, by the time they get their tech to the level of making their own lightbulbs and other peripherals
mircea_popescu: well suddenly the ex-colonizers decide the kind of lightbulbs they can make are illegal to use.
mircea_popescu: however, just about at the same time the most important industry of the colonizers, ie silicone processing, has "progressed" past the point of usefulness

mircea_popescu: you know, originally it went like fire -> metalworking -big jump-> firearms
benkay: yeah i got there eventually

mircea_popescu: Add to the very narrow margins and very active competition the burden of regulatory infringement. Money changers are spending as it is now literally immense sums (in Bitcoin terms) to try and mostly comply with obscure and convoluted regulation, which they can’t avoid or ignore because they’re always stuck with one foot in fiat. In exchange for this draining expenditure they are receiving nothing at all, certainly
mircea_popescu: They’re not in fact receiving as much as recognition of status or effort, they find themselves in the untenable position of a poor immigrant who is spending all his wages and borrowing at unbearable, immigrant-ghetto rates to buy flowers and wine for some local beauty who barely even registers their desperation or even presence.

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i get the joke, its amusing. but i am not sure why you feel what im saying is an indication of trouble for me stepping outside my comfort zone
herbijudlestoids: i dont mind playing in new markets, but all businesses should be appropriately capitalised
mircea_popescu: any dangers, inconveniences and issues you face, anyone else also faces.

mircea_popescu: it is illusory. and it blinds you to the actual safety in barren lands
decimation: As I grow older I've learned to perceive danger in banality
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids this dovetails neatly into an older saying of mine, re the sailor being required to sail the boat in any wind.
decimation: prediction: there will be an operating legal BTC exchange in the US within 2 years
mircea_popescu: that's a sailor. people who can sail a boat in some circumstances are sail management technicians or w.e
mircea_popescu: decimation that'd be the optimistic view as to the us' future.
decimation: like pot, the civil servants who run the states can smell the tax revenue
decimation: I know, but I'm contrary while I'm contrary
mircea_popescu: im not sayin' it's unlikely or anything, perfectly possible.
decimation: new york seems really serious about this bitlicense deal
mircea_popescu: the us turning into a sort of continent sized syria is however also quite possible.
decimation: Of course it would with all kinds of AML KYC rules but that's obvious
mircea_popescu: the only sane way to do that would be making a state agency which handles the aml kyc.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HMF] 10 @ 0.02636138 = 0.2636 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: you get the license, the customer applies with the agency. you get the ok, you are legally immune
davout: mircea_popescu: why is that?
mircea_popescu: because you don't wish to be involved with or responsible of law enforcing.
mircea_popescu: you're a businessman not a policeman. let the policemen do their job.
decimation: If I'm right, then the next leg up on the BTC/USD is going to happen when the trillions of $ in retirement accounts start washing into BTC; via Gresham's law
Apocalyptic: the trillions they see on their balance :)
davout: that how it works though, and it's the sad state of affairs where if you have any sort of financial license you *are* required to monitor activity, and pretty much be the police
mircea_popescu: davout so that's what new york may offer to convince me to ok their license bs :
davout: there's no such thing as a "ok you're kosher" kind of stamp
benkay: leave those jurisdictions, then.
mircea_popescu: i mnean sure, they can continue talking to the scammers and be scammed till they're happy and had enough.
davout: mircea_popescu: what is it you said once about one party of a deal saying "that's the way it's gonna be" again ?
Apocalyptic: when essentially LW is the policemen and in charge of validating clients
decimation: Total U.S. retirement assets were $17.5 trillion as of December 31, 2010, up 5.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 and up 9.1 percent for the year.
ozbot: ICI - Retirement Assets Total $17.5 Trillion in Fourth Quarter 2010
davout: Apocalyptic: yup, they be the police, i don't want to touch that with a ten foot pole
decimation: Of course, many of these assets are "invested" in stocks, run by bandits who pump & dump the price

decimation: on the other hand, the idea of a bitcoin retirement 'fund' is retarded
decimation: why should some third party keep your keys because the gov't says?
decimation: it seems a different matter than a third party keeping your gold, for instance
davout: Apocalyptic: just FTR LW has access to your EUR data, they have zero access to your BTC history and activity
decimation: yeah, but the way it works in the us is that you must have a custodian for your retirement account (tax free accrual)
decimation: I guess this stems from the root of the problem being that a tax on bitcoin is retarded

mircea_popescu: decimation hey, in that sense simply living in the us is taking your life in your hands.
decimation: you wrote a few days ago about the lunacy of a self-enforcing contract due to the context of language
decimation: yet there are those here who think the Constitution operates exactly in this way
decimation: Moldbug is more-or-less correct about the power that rules the us; it's the coordinated actions of the media, civil service, and academia (and all their attachments)
mircea_popescu: the academia has... you know, the exact power of romania's "dissident" "inteligentsia"
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: You are marketmaking ATC nao? How long until moon?
herbijudlestoids: looks like someone has come in and put some bid in already at 375
herbijudlestoids: i also found a bug on openex last inght and lodged an issue on github
Apocalyptic: herbijudlestoids, was the bug security-related ?
decimation: The media has the power to veto things if they are able to make someone look bad
decimation: academia has the power to insert ideas into the bureaucratic process
mircea_popescu: it summarizes a book, which is mostly built on the stenographs of romania's dictator and sole source of power,
mircea_popescu: the man passed for an idiot in their theoretical writings, he owns them on the floor. not because of a threat of violence, but through simple intellectual superiority.
mircea_popescu: this, i am convinced, is the situation of the us academia : they tell each other they're smart,
mircea_popescu: but if they get caged with a head of civil service they get wiped.
mircea_popescu: not because the guy orders them killed, but because the guy is actrually smarter than them, and breaks off their metaphorical arms and beats them into a pulp with them
decimation: I think that's true to some extent - not so with elected officials though
decimation: The civil service in the US is mostly a jobs program, but the elite staff at the top generally knows what they are doing (like Ceausescu, they have learned through doing)
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I can't guarantee I'll be awake that far into the future.
mircea_popescu: so basically... the press is just living off handouts, the academia mostly wishes to circlejerk undisturbed, has first dibs on available cash and otherwise grumbles but is thankful if resources dwindle
mircea_popescu: the us is the civil service, like any socialist state, the bureaucracy.
decimation: This is mostly true, but the civil service can't entirely ignore the media either. On the other hand, the civil service also tells the media what to print
