TestingUnoDosTre: science be damned, that's an interesting process
nubbins`: very old
nubbins`: chinese were doing it 1000 years ago
TestingUnoDosTre: Oh it appears so. My friend's sister has an old school platten printing machine that looks like it's from the 19th century
TestingUnoDosTre: don't know if that's what the actual name for the process is
asciilifeform: when the famous Kamkin bookstore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Kamkin_Bookstore) imploded, they sold things by the pound, and opened up all of the 'backstage' rooms to customers. in one, i found... a '40s vintage printing press.

TestingUnoDosTre: that's a really good question
asciilifeform: individual. but some accountants provide a kind of 'insurance'
mike_c: the individual is responsible.
joecool: mike_c: for the amounts paid, but can't be held negligent if accountant fucks up
mircea_popescu: joecool pretty much, yes.
joecool: i'm assuming tax accountants carry insurance for this sort of thing
mircea_popescu: basically, as a us citizen you're better off if your accountant runs off with your money than if your accountant misfiles your taxes.
mircea_popescu: for the same sum

joecool: accountant pocketed his tax payments, didn't file for 7 years, then kicked the bucket, no idea about the truth of it all
TestingUnoDosTre: Huff post is like shit smeared all over the computer screen
joecool: sry couldn't find another source
mircea_popescu: actually a VERY similar thing happened here last year. i arrive at my accountant's office, usually a quiet place with maybe 1-2 other people present, cause the gal is nuts abour scheduling, to find it in complete turmoil, bunches of evidently panicked people.
mircea_popescu: turns out, an accountant handling the accounts of ~200 small businesses had been found by the tax authority to not have filed anything for months
mircea_popescu: so they re-allocated all teh customers to the shortlist of competent accountants all around town
mircea_popescu: 10 here, 15 there, etc.
joecool: well i mean if you actually look at the returns, the accountant is signing off to say they believe the return to be true to the best of their knowledge under penalty of perjury
mircea_popescu: sure
joecool: the individual signs off to say they are reporting their income and such to the best of their knowledge
mircea_popescu: the owner is still responsible tho.

mircea_popescu: -er/
joecool: for the tax liability yes, fines (not interest) though i believe would get waived
mircea_popescu: joecool depends really.
joecool: i'm in this situation from the last company i started, initial accountant gave us horrible advice for 2012 since we formed the LLC in november and turned *very* small revenue, said it would be under limit to file
mircea_popescu: kinda stupid, why not use the year to create a tax liability
joecool: hired a better firm this year, they went over it and warned us we had to file, paid the filing fees from last year, and warned us to expect a letter from the IRS asking for damages

BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: What sort of stuff do you do?

BingoBoingo: I'm a bit tipsy, but I'll take a look at it.
BingoBoingo: Wait TheRock is a thing? I made an account there once hoping to dump freexrp without a colonoscopy, but... seemed sketch
numerisTrade: well, I don't trust them with a lot of money, but everything seemed ok
numerisTrade: I had some technical issues once, the support reacted quickly
BingoBoingo: Well I guess since the second life thing they trade has been around, they probably function. It's just like they added support for crypto currencies while neglecting any sort of outreach. Also their limits seemed kind of crap when I tried them.

BingoBoingo: So you can self up

BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: You lend right?
numerisTrade: trying to, yes
fluffypony stretches
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: Pick a baseball game happening tomorrow
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: borrowing when tipsy...? :-P
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: No.
numerisTrade: I don't know anything about baseball
numerisTrade: I know only how baseball bat looks like
fluffypony: numerisTrade: that makes two of us
fluffypony: my knowledge of baseball comes from two weeks in St. Louis
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: Well, since lending is about pricing risk I was going to suppose a challenge where you might price risk for trust
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: The best place to get baseball knowledge
fluffypony: where all I had hammered into me was "Cardinals good, Pujols good"
fluffypony: "everyone else bad"
BingoBoingo: No, Pujols is washed up and Hollywood nao
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: yeah this was in early 2010
BingoBoingo: It's all about Yadier Molina now
BingoBoingo: I was In front of a classroom when Prince Albert betrayed us.
numerisTrade: maybe some other example?
BingoBoingo: A number of students were shaken the rest of the morning after I broke the news
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: Well I was going to suppose something along the lines of:
BingoBoingo: 1) You pick an event and outcome
BingoBoingo: 2) I pick a price for the outcome
BingoBoingo: 3) maybe we haggle a bit
BingoBoingo: 4) we agree to an unescrowed bet.
BingoBoingo: 5) If you win the bet you get coins and lended trust, or you lose and pay for trust for being a person of word in this matter
numerisTrade: ok, would you agree if we conducted this later on today? e.g. 2 p.m. GMT?
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: I may not be awake then, but if I am I would still be amenable.
BingoBoingo: Since this is a kind of novel thing it may be best if we keep the stakes low at 0.01 BTC simply because unescrowed bets have such a poor history in BTC so far thanks to MNW
numerisTrade: I agree, as you might have noticed, I'm still quite small
numerisTrade: MNW?
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: We are all small, this space is still small. I mean +m only happened Friday.
numerisTrade: I noticed :)
BingoBoingo: MNW was an episode in BTC history worth researching.
BingoBoingo: I'd also be open to considering sports where you might have the knowledge advantage provided you can specify a decent resolution source.
numerisTrade: ok, I'll prepare something. If you aren't on the channel then, I'll leave you a message, I'll be on the channel up till 21:00 GMT, or we'll meet tomorrow same time as today
fluffypony: MNW = Matthew N. Wright
fluffypony: a blight on the Bitcoin landscape
HeySteve: another scammer from old times?
fluffypony: HeySteve: not entirely
fluffypony: he had a bet that he lost
numerisTrade: fluffypony, yeah, googled him
fluffypony: and he didn't pay
joecool: Matthew N. Wright is a former Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: My waking hours as well as my online hours can be rather unpredictable even for myself. If you can find and event and we can agree to it before it plays I'd be amenable.
HeySteve: ah that's bad form, a man honours his debts
fluffypony: joecool: lol
BingoBoingo: "ah that's bad form, a man honours his debts" and "assbot removes voice from Ukyo" Fortuitous? Maybe I am just drunk and dense?
fluffypony: lol
numerisTrade: ok, thanks
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: What are your thoughts on this unescrowed bet as an entante that might establish a measure of trust?
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: I like the idea
fluffypony: and the risk to both parties is minimal
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Well, what if the newcoming party is especially new?
numerisTrade: :)
fluffypony: well we're talking about establishing a baseline
fluffypony: and the WOT will link the new party back to you
fluffypony: and the amount will surely be mentioned in the rating
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Sure
fluffypony: which means the educated user won't trust way beyond that
fluffypony: until the baseline has moved
fluffypony: which happens over time
BingoBoingo: But on the matter of +m being a thing, isn't the person with L1 trust offering a chance at L2 trust taking a substantial risk
BingoBoingo: !up numerisTrade
assbot: Voicing numerisTrade for 30 minutes.
fluffypony: it depends
fluffypony: if the newcomer ends up being a scammer, for instance
fluffypony: will those scammed come back to you and say "I trusted X because you trusted them!"
fluffypony: or will they, BEFORE trading/borrowing/whatevering, come to you and say "why do you trust X?"
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: I mean people can /ignore, but if the person who socially engineers trust for the purpose of spamming gets to self up, the only recourse is for the L1 to remove their trust or themselves be dropped
fluffypony: it seems to me that it should be the latter, but all too often it's the former
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: agreed
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Well coming and asking is the ony way a WoT works.
fluffypony: or even changing their rating to negative based on their observation of it
HeySteve: hey fluffypony, that reminds me, would you rate me for that deal we did?
fluffypony: HeySteve: sure
HeySteve: thanks you trusted me for about $500, I will return the favour
fluffypony: ;;rate HeySteve 2 ~$500 ZAR interbank (EFT) transfer for my BTC/LTC, smooth like pineapple juice

numerisTrade: thank you!
numerisTrade: you are very generous
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: Well I plan to remove/expire this loaned trust on Thursday unless we can find something to risk and establish a longer term lending of trust over.
numerisTrade: sure
fluffypony: what's interesting about WoT vs. something like BTCJam's profiles is that WoT makes the long-con substantially more difficult
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: For the time in the interim I offer you the ability to self up so that you can answer questions on your lending venture and establish value with others or undertake some sort of risk to honor.
fluffypony: on BTCJam I see a LOT of people with "reputation" loans
fluffypony: they lend 5-10 times, various amounts
fluffypony: and because they've paid back they're considered trustworthy
fluffypony: but there's literally no other reason to trust them than they have a couple of months of not screwing anyone over
BingoBoingo: Reputation loans have always been a problem.
fluffypony nods

HeySteve: yeah I'd say any kind of decentralised commerce needs such a system
fluffypony: I wonder if guys like that hoard their stash or end up living the high life for a few months before being broke?

fluffypony: BingoBoingo: "hacked" by some obscure definition of hacked we weren't previously privy to
BingoBoingo: Sure
bitcoinpete: wywialm: as hamlet said: “there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
TestingUnoDosTre: For the record, bitcoin is inflating at a rapidly decreasing, defined rate
bitcoinpete: no doubt that a lot of people will be screwed out of pensions and other lofty promises, also little doubt that faux egalitarianism will fall by the wayside
bitcoinpete: TestingUnoDosTre: totally. it's the first deterministically scarce asset with a decreasing inflation rate
bitcoinpete: it's really fiat that's collapsing unpredictably into bitcoin
wywialm: ok, to be precise: do you believe there are circumstances in which deflation would do unnecessary harm to the economy, its net effects being negative?
wywialm: in the same way we could call some forms of governments net negative on the economy
TestingUnoDosTre: Not with a truly fungible asset
bitcoinpete: wywialm: i see the nets being positive
wywialm: to be even more precise, by inflation i mean rising *price level*, not plain money growth
bitcoinpete: and the harm as being entirely necessary
Apocalyptic: wywialm, you're using the perverted meaning of inflation I see
bitcoinpete: right, the price of goods and services is decreasing despite the monetary base increasing
wywialm: clearly that's the message of your article, bitcoinpete. I'm asking whether it is "always and everywhere"
wywialm: Apocalyptic, no, it's a standard definition, contrary to late Mises and Rothbard, and avoids much confusion
bitcoinpete: wy
bitcoinpete: wywialm: history would seem to say so. we'll see whether it rhymes this time 'round
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [ALC] 350 @ 0.14 = 49 BTC
wywialm: to be even more clear, i generally agree with you that under normal conditions of rising productivity, moderate deflation is very desirable
bitcoinpete: bitcoin and gold are checks on tyrannical mobs
mod6: (10:01) <+pankkake> oh I loved BOFH! << me too, the old ones are best imho.
wywialm: sure, but that's fiscal effect of both. i try to focus on monetary effects
bitcoinpete: wywialm: monetary effects don't exist in isolation. nothing does. and least of all in economics
Apocalyptic: wywialm, not really, the standard definition is the increase of the money supply, or monetary base

numerisTrade: bitcoinpete, would then *steadily shrinking* currency unharmful as well?
wywialm: good point
bitcoinpete: numerisTrade: i imagine that a currency whose supply is decreasing over time wouldn't make for a very good currency. an example of this would be the picassos in the world today. over time, they're lost to fires, floods, irreparable damage, etc. as such, no one defines picassos as currency just as no one sane defines bitcoin as money

bitcoinpete: TestingUnoDosTre: might as well :D
numerisTrade: and bitcoins will reach a point when they will be decreasing, due to losses and so on

wywialm: i happen to agree with you, especially considering bitcoin deflation argument, but if so, wouldn't e.g. printed-money-spending benefit economy as well in some cases?
jurov: i think it's more about stability of money supply
jurov: can you imagine someone hoarding and after 10 years throwing in few millions btc
wywialm: so, withholding money from circulation might have similar effects (and we believe them to be negative) as coin loss?
wywialm: (under certain conditions, not always, etc. of course)
pankkake: that person can hoard by moving the coins for free
pankkake: though miners would then be incentivized to REFUSE transactions

wywialm: sure, but i didn't want to enter this branch of discussion
benkay: in assets brach enters you!
thestringpuller: benkay: you missing shit
thestringpuller: get a bouncer :P
bitcoinpete: wywialm: from personal experience, when the price is going parabolic, there's little incentive to spend bitcoin when the good or service will be cheaper tomorrow and the need isn't dire
bitcoinpete: so under such conditions, the economy is filtered for value
wywialm: agreed, but this effect can be really harmful in a much more developed economy, with credit, net of contracts, many competitors on a single markets
TestingUnoDosTre: You just have to structure a debt contract with half a brain
wywialm: and then it is not only filtered for value, trade just goes down incredibly - we could go on claiming everything is fine, but then unemployed resources appear en masse
benkay: it will be interesting to see it play out, but nobody knows how it is actually going to play out.
TestingUnoDosTre: And thus we hoard
wywialm: it definitely will
benkay: wywialm: if there's no market for the stuff at the price, the price must move for the stuff to move.
benkay: bitcoin will bring a rigor to business unseen for centuries.
wywialm: TestingUnoDosTre, like what? indexing to something else?
benkay: wywialm: what's the root of your nick?
wywialm: benkay, or not
wywialm: that's my surname
TestingUnoDosTre: Or partially indexing.
benkay: how does one pronounce it?
wywialm: Vyhvial, or actually, Vyhviaw :) if you insist i could provide fonetic notation
wywialm: M is first letter of my name
wywialm: TestingUnoDosTre, but that's changing the unit of account :)
benkay: wywialm: what part of the world is that from?
wywialm: Poland
TestingUnoDosTre: Creditors may also want to shed some risk
TestingUnoDosTre: For example if they own a large amount of btc and want to protect against a big short term drop in value
wywialm: benkay, re: if there's no market for the stuff at the price, the price must move for the stuff to move
wywialm: there are exceptions to this, grouped under the tag of 'price rigidity', which has many origins and which i'll try to sum up briefly
wywialm: (generally, if there were no price rigidity, sharp deflation would be no problem, I believe)
bitcoinpete: price rigidity is just another form of tversky and khaneman's anchoring and adjusting
wywialm: no, not necessarily, it is beyond psychology
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 908 @ 0.00011918 = 0.1082 BTC [+] {2}
wywialm: first, there are menu costs and other costs of price adjustments, such as making plans and accounting
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1292 @ 0.00096466 = 1.2463 BTC [+]
wywialm: second, there are long term contracts negotiated in terms of monetary unit of account
benkay: so the world changes out from underneath you sometimes. one tries to plan and account for these things. sometimes the irresistable force is just completely irresistable.
wywialm: and third, most important probably, are network coordination failures. On a reasonably populated market, if the nominal demand (or trade volume) falls, the first enterpreneur to lower prices would not suffer losses due to demand inelasticity
wywialm: benkay, true, but this is a source of rigidity which will impact the real economy
bitcoinpete: wywialm: right, which all means that the losses, as well as the profits, are privatized, whereas we currently socialize large losses
benkay: isn't monetary diddling used solely to socialize losses?
wywialm: bitcoinpete, i'm not a defender of current (fiscal and monetary) arrangements
benkay: solely, largely, a lot of the time, whatever
bitcoinpete: benkay: yup. and i meant to say that bitcoin prevents this, if i wasn't clear

kakobrekla: ;;later tell davout rejected.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
kakobrekla: eh?
wywialm: currently, i'd bet something between 'largely' and 'sometimes'. Have a look at EU, they are heading for deflation, despite their official inflation targets, same in Poland
benkay: just helping to illuminate, bitcoinpete
kakobrekla: fuckin lag.
bitcoinpete: benkay: bueno ;)
wywialm: why don't they flood EU with cash, when they have mandate to do it?
bitcoinpete: good sesh. i'm out for now
wywialm: cya
benkay: hey wywialm who actually controls how much money sloshes around the eu?
wywialm: ECB
wywialm: in that, Germany and to lesser extent, France.
wywialm: and the same situation is in Poland, official inflation target is 2.5%, we are ~1% and head of National Bank of Poland says he's ok with that
wywialm: Czech Republic is probably deflating already
Apocalyptic: a good thing
wywialm: not necessarily, as i tried to point earlier
benkay: well head of NBP doesn't have much say in euro monetary supply does he?
wywialm: in PL we are monetary independent still
wywialm: we have zloty (which, by coincidence, means 'golden', and last had gold component 300 years ago)
wywialm: not EUR
benkay: asciilifeform: https://github.com/pf/erc-gribble
benkay: ah cool
benkay: well so anyways euro is deflating right now?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 18491 @ 0.00096548 = 17.8527 BTC [+]
wywialm: inflation 0.5 %, target 2%
benkay: what are their lines of recourse and why aren't they using them?
wywialm: and it is not equally distributed throughout eurozone, south is deflating for a couple of years, -1.5% i believe
wywialm: they only use interest rate policy, which is veeery far from efficient
wywialm: and they are cowardly, i believe, as they could push interest rates lower even in their imperfect framework
wywialm: what they should do is to do as-neutral-as-possible QE. Think about it, if you have a bank, and demand for your notes skyrockets, you issue more, not less, right?

benkay: but maybe consider signing tags instead
pankkake: it breaks if you rewrite history though :(
benkay: for instance, check out https://github.com/pf/erc-gribble
benkay: then git tag -v beta_0
bounce was idly speculating on stuffing all law in a SCM, with public diffs. and signed commits by the head of state.

pankkake: where we're going, we don't need laws
phf: github doesn't even bother to inform you that there's a signature on the tag, but signed tags seem like a good place to put contracts
phf: (it doesn't affect history either)
pankkake: otherwise, I know it's planned to be used by gentoo - you need to sign every packaging commit given the sensible nature of it

BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Well, what was the exact act Weev was charged for
TestingUnoDosTre: Like the charge, or what did he do?
TestingUnoDosTre: He submitted a bunch of false cc-ids in attempt to reverse engineer the ID to number conversion that att used
