Duffer_: who's the guy talking atm?
cazalla: not sure but he calls mircea_popescu mursaya
Duffer_: yea hehe
cazalla: lol doge licking its balls on camera
dignork: it's bitstein i'd guess
TheNewDeal: justusranvier who is this
justusranvier: The last one was bitstien
justusranvier: Now we have yamamushi: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cqukfsatq308s00qdhggkp6oegg
TheNewDeal: why isn't this just one stream?
bitstein: TIL how to actually pronounce Mircea.
TheNewDeal: yamamaushi found Satoshi!?!?
dignork: TheNewDeal: no, other dude who invented bitcoin before him
TheNewDeal: is that a joke?
dignork: no, pretty vanilla, Satoshi refered to previous works, hashcash for example, might call it real bitcoin inventor for example :)

dignork: danielpbarron: well, it was really low-res, and only a pub-key

danielpbarron: it shouldn't be that difficult to demonstrate an offline setup, which is the experience new users should become accustomed with -- especially the kind of people who already think they are hip to crypto
danielpbarron: wouldn't have taken longer than the unnecessary detour into explaining some localbitcoin thing, which served only to confuse the audience as to how the WoT functions
BingoBoingo: !up jborkl
TheNewDeal: that was quite hilarious
dignork: well, you need two computers for that, or hardware crypto gadget (cardano is not there yet)
jborkl: Rough weekend for the price
danielpbarron: so? is it not possible to do without cardano?
dignork: possible ofcourse, two machines, cumbersome presentation
danielpbarron: well, the presentation is incomplete without such a demonstration
BingoBoingo: jborkl: Well, for someone the next few years are going to be rougher than the price as of late

dignork: danielpbarron: well, most crypto-related presentation i've seen did not include faraday cage, while some would say it was a flaw, I'm just assuming "omitted for clarity"
danielpbarron: for the sake of argument that it is too cumbersome, he stilled used his real key
xanthyos: dude $305
jborkl: Bingoboingo, you think the price will continue sliding? Or nfi
xanthyos: so much for my $360 (10 double chai) prediction
BingoBoingo: jborkl: Well at some point it will stop sliding
xanthyos is always left holding the bag
TheNewDeal: I know dimsler won't like this, but the wall has returned

mod6: heheh
thickasthieves: btce is above stamp now
thickasthieves: dem pesky 5%s
TheNewDeal: yes I'm curious why the whale is on stamp exclusively
thickasthieves: to be fair there are big wallers everywhere
thickasthieves: stamp might be chosen because no margin
TheNewDeal: no margin ?
dub: stamp is the new gox
dub: its where teh speculation forum is looking
thickasthieves: well on bitfinex you can buy 3.3:1
TheNewDeal: oh I gotcha
thickasthieves: and there are like 10k or so btc shorted that need to be covered there
xanthyos: stroke the furry walls
TheNewDeal: suprised that they didn't just bump it up like 1$ after 5k buys or whatever
thickasthieves: 12,000+ shorts actually
thickasthieves: well the guy has been selling for days
xanthyos: russell brand's going to have to stroke some furry walls hard enough to tear the shag out if he keeps attaching his name to max keiser's cryptocoin
thickasthieves: maybe months
thickasthieves: really all this funkiness started just before the SR auction
thickasthieves: we bubbled in May

Dimsler: not sure what the constant obession
Dimsler: with my wot is
ben_vulpes: it's a constant obsession with everyone's wot, Dimsler.
ben_vulpes: just curious.
ben_vulpes: sides, what do i know, i'm just the court jester
ben_vulpes: all of these social sites - engagement is via the "submit" button.

Dimsler: theres only one thing guaranteed in life
Dimsler: everything else is speculation
HeySteve: sure. some guy wants out his position, he is saying "this is how much more I have to unload, the pain will continue until it's sold."
ben_vulpes: penny stock basics, it is fake volume, it's not fake volume
dub: thats pretty unlikely
HeySteve: now a larger whale is challenged to buy him out to protect his holdings
ben_vulpes: someone's a market maker, here have a wp link
Dimsler: he basically set the market at 300
Vexual: this is sparta!
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> penny stock basics, it is fake volume, it's not fake volume << just about.
Dimsler: plenty nefarious reasons to hang a large order out
Dimsler: whether its to stop a sell of
HeySteve: right, but it's $9m, I heard mentioned? probably someone has more to lose than $9m. if btc hits single digits, so probably someone will buy that much
Dimsler: he may also have alot of money
Dimsler: on the exchange in fiat
HeySteve: of course, it could be a fake. but markets are an interesting game for this reason
Dimsler: and is buying people coins
Dimsler: that are wanting to sell below $300

Vexual: do you get paid in dollars The20YearIRCloud?
The20YearIRCloud: Yield will certanly go down, our equity position overall is pretty great when you factor our average BTC sell price. Big question is when does it correct, how far does the pricing drop? We're still about 20% lower than peaks
The20YearIRCloud: Yeah
Vexual: what did you sell the latest offering @?
Vexual: must have fucked your arerage
The20YearIRCloud: Haven't yet :( , HL has been slow on transfering BTC to us, so there's been some exposure to loss due to the massive decrease in BTC price
The20YearIRCloud: Our average overall will stand at something like $400/btc though, including the original 1,000 BTC we got on BF that was sold when BTC was around $80/btc

The20YearIRCloud: i'm tallying the difference, figure some day when company is flush with cash i'll cash out
The20YearIRCloud: but i dont plan on really taking anything out, too much incentive for me to do that

Diablo-D3: punkman: it depends entirely on what you're doing

Diablo-D3: and then cache the css
punkman: Diablo-D3: whether it feels right doesn't depend on anything

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 the problem isn't the serverside caching, but the client side caches.
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: erm, why do you think I was talking about serverside caching?
mircea_popescu: virtually all browsers know enough to not redld a navigation pic, but virtually all will re-dld the base64 blob
Diablo-D3: its about cutting down on the cost of http connection cost
Diablo-D3: its easier to base64 stuff for small images than it is to make explicit requests for them

danielpbarron: links are fine as long as they aren't videos without tits
brianhoffman: :P
brianhoffman: ok well so what is your main interest here? just that we are trying to reinvent the wheel?

punkman: "Global trust is trust towards a particular individual which is seen as the same from all members of the network. Projected trust is established through a pseudonymous partial knowledge web-of-trust, while global trust is established through proof-of-burn and proof-of-timelock mechanisms."
danielpbarron: but you joined here, so there might be hope
punkman: we don't have timelocks yet
brianhoffman: which is why at the moment we’re leveraging proof of burn
punkman: well that's silly
brianhoffman: we’re following the Peter Todd BIP
brianhoffman: and what not
brianhoffman: but this is all not slated for the next week’s release here
danielpbarron: i like proof of burn -- that's why XCP is still a thing, and mastercoin isn't
brianhoffman: proof of burn is fine. at the moment we’re doing it wrong and spamming the UTXO
brianhoffman: we will be leveraging op_return in the next release hopefully

brianhoffman: our project has great breadth and we’re certainly not interested in stepping on toes or making grandiose claims about any one area
brianhoffman: we would love to collaborate where possible

punkman: "In OpenBazaar, the participants are inherently pseudonymous. In this setting, we wish to maintain an identity for each node. This identity is strictly distinct from the operator's real-world identity."
danielpbarron: i like gribble the way it is so far, but I think I saw discussion in here some time ago about making it decentralized; that's why I figured you might have something interesting to say
punkman: that probably won't work
brianhoffman: ok so the folks from freenet argued that as well
brianhoffman: i’m interested to hear your justification though
pete_dushenski: "The new [French cybersecurity] rules include fines of as much as 750,000 euros for companies that fail government security audits, and demand that French businesses reconsider their technology choices to focus on certified -- mostly ‘‘made in France” -- products."

brianhoffman: i don’t think this is a short convo anyways
brianhoffman: he’s on a “jog"

penguirker: New blog post: https://www.bcoinnews.com/asic-miner-price/
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Are you talking about the bitcoin-otc wot, the gpg wot, the freenet wot, which one exatly?
brianhoffman: the issue of shipping ties in nicely with the discussion about arbitration and third-parties in trade transactions
mircea_popescu: dionyziz the first.
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=dionyziz&sign=ANY&type=RECV
assbot: Rating Details for User 'dionyziz'
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Yes, I have sent and received some ratings and used this system to exachange bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman let me restate it. since shipping precludes practical anonimity, it makes sense to bundle the trust required to maintain pseudonymous identities with the trust required to police transactions, resulting in the following cutting of your mayo : centralized trade with decentralized comm network. which reduces your idea to reimplementing gpg over email.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz that is rather basic, but anyway, much better than nothing at all.
mircea_popescu: so, how do you aim to improve on this ?
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Yes, my rating is basic on bitcoin-otc, but I feel I have an understanding of your work.
dionyziz: Regarding your comments on shipping, this is a different issue which we also have concerns about.
mircea_popescu: well that was @ brianhoffman. you, i asked how you aim to improve the wot as it is
dionyziz: As for your question regarding improvements over your bitcoin-otc wot work, I'd like to first say that we appreciate the work you've done.
mircea_popescu: you know i've done nothing much re bitcoin otc. it's mostly nanotube's thing.
dionyziz: And it's an important asset for the bitcoin community.
dionyziz: Yes, I mean "you" in plural.
dionyziz: You as in, people in this channel who have worked on this.
mircea_popescu: but anyway! thanks, and dun worry about it, you're not being griled in the sense of having been a bad boy
mircea_popescu: im just trying to grok .
dionyziz: So, regarding improvements.
dionyziz: Some of these ideas are detailed in my paper, but keep in mind that my paper is incomplete and just lays out some of our thoughts. We are improving on it and thinking about additional things.
brianhoffman: I think I see what you’re saying in regards to reimplementing gpg. This is a valid point.
dionyziz: The first issue we have with bitcoin-otc is its Achilles' heel.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz i am keeping it in mind, which is why i asked diretly :)
dionyziz: We feel its centralization is harmful.
dionyziz: In OpenBazaar, our threat model requires no centralization, so we want users to be able to validate trust directly.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman no, it's not. looky here, let's model it. there are 3 items of interest. 1. the shipping of purchased items ; 2. the discussion of trade, ie, merchant and buyer meeting hteir minds ; 3. the payment for purchases. now, these 3 can be sorted in any which way. otc for instance sorts it that 2 is gpg over email or an irc channel, 1 is mail and 3 is the wot.
punkman: that's when I ask you to GPG sign something
dionyziz: This is the main reason we think bitcoin-otc wot is inadequate.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman your proposition is to somehow weld them together, but because you can not practically remove the problem of 1, it'll still revert to something similar, inevitably.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz are you familiar with the discussion of multicentrality vs decentralisation ?
brianhoffman: are you implying that the anonymity is simply thrown out the window once you begin shipping purchased items? i’m feeling dense here.
mircea_popescu: quite that, yes.
brianhoffman: well i guess my response at least initially would be are we really trying to solve that issue here...
brianhoffman: i don’t think that is really in scope for OpenBazaar
brianhoffman: i see it as an issue
brianhoffman: but i don’t believe we’re proposing a solution here at the moment for that challenge
mircea_popescu: i gather. but the thing is, that challenge will unravel whatever model you may build.
mircea_popescu: it's why silkroad collapsed, after all. you can't ship.
mircea_popescu: and since you can't really tell people what to do, you will end up in that conflict whether you want to or not.
brianhoffman: you do realize that a large percentage of items shipped are most likely illicit. this does not stop it from occurring.
brianhoffman: and those engaging in privacy conscious behavior will know to protect as best they can out of band from OpenBazaar
mircea_popescu: i think you maybe misunderstand how safety is effectually implemented.
brianhoffman: ok enlighten me
mircea_popescu: well, for as long as you're small nobody cares that you're moving contraband back and forth, because it's not meaningfully discernible from the general noise of the system
mircea_popescu: once you become large you ipso facto have a footprint
mircea_popescu: at which point you either go to jail or backstab your users
mircea_popescu: in practice, both.
brianhoffman: well i think that mirrors real life rather well. as your “image” becomes larger your activity becomes less indistinguishable from others.
brianhoffman: you stick out
dionyziz: I do not see why this is a necessity.
brianhoffman: i agree
brianhoffman: my argument is that this is a meatspace issue
mircea_popescu: dionyziz b ecause you're leaking information through the shipping. think of it in crypto terms, you're using a 8 bit key on an amiga as part of the process.
bounce: not all trades involve items shipped, and where they do the users of any system, decentralised or not, basically have to provide their own safety. cut-outs and that sort of thing. it does put a bit of a damper as to what is reasonable to advertise.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman well sure, but it doesn't so much matter if it's a meatspace issue or not. what matters is that it's the controlling issue
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Some items are shipped digitally.
mircea_popescu: and in being controlling, it'll control. which means it'll shape the marketplace.
dionyziz: But solving the shipping problem is currently out of the scope of OpenBazaar.
dionyziz: We're not trying to solve this problem.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz for that much your idea would work fine
dionyziz: We're not trying to solve every problem.
mircea_popescu: except information wants to be free and all that.
dionyziz: There are ideas to make shipping more untrackable.
brianhoffman: well i’d like to say we’re working on a decentralized drone delivery network as part of this
dionyziz: Rented PO boxes.
brianhoffman: but our scope is already huge
dionyziz: Drones.
dionyziz: etc. etc.
mircea_popescu: but yes, for that thin sliver where carders and snowden wanna pass along secrets, there's something.
dionyziz: And I'm interested in these ideas, but OpenBazaar is not trying to find solutions there.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz how old are you ?
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: I'm 27.
dionyziz: You?
thestringpuller: drones are not going to work in the US
thestringpuller: they WILL find you
dionyziz: thestringpuller: I live in the EU :)
mircea_popescu: okay. im 35. but anyway : no, rented po boxes and drones aren't solutions.
thestringpuller: and they will fine you
dionyziz: Sure, ok.
brianhoffman: hey all i have to run. very busy day but i am enjoying the convo. i will be back.
dionyziz: As I said, in OpenBazaar we don't try to solve the problem of shipping.
dionyziz: In the same way that cryptography isn't trying to solve all the problems of security,
mircea_popescu: ok, so what problem does it try to solve ?
dionyziz: in OpenBazaar we want to maintain anonymity at the point of trade.
mircea_popescu: you mean anonimity or pseudonimity ?
dionyziz: We want to allow people to agree on a trade and exchange the money and sign the contract in a pseudonymous manner.
dionyziz: The delivery is their own problem.
mircea_popescu: these two are not the same in any sense, stop using them as synonyms.
dionyziz: "Anonymity" and "pseudonymity" are defined precisely on my writing.
mircea_popescu: anyway : this already exists, it's a solved problem. why are you resolving a solved problem ?
dionyziz: I don't think it's a solved problem.
dionyziz: Can you explain why you think it's a solved problem?
mircea_popescu: yes. because for instance, lemme find it

thickasthieves: was it 2000?
thickasthieves: good ole days
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: OK, I will read this.
dionyziz: Thank you for sharing this with me :)
dionyziz: And thank you for taking the time to address these issues with us.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz don't take things the wrong way, there's plenty of work to do for people wanting to be useful. it's just important not to waste the enthusiasm of youth on dead ends.
mircea_popescu: this chan's always here for that very reason
dionyziz: Ah, I see what this is.
dignork: dionyziz: Another potential problem: decentralized arbitration will act as random oracle. If arbiters will keep bias towards buyer, sellers will increase prices to compensate. Bias towards sellers will make buyers to seek discount >= bias rate. Assuming sellers will have to maintain their ratings, risk will mainly be on the seller side, this risk will be priced in. Do you have any estimates on the
dignork: risk adjustment percentage?
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Maybe it is similar to this agreement that I did with a friend a few months ago? https://dionyziz.com/hedge.txt
mircea_popescu: dignork you can't have bias in a decentralized market. you will instead have volatility. bias happens in central markets like ebay deciding to side with buyer
dionyziz: I'm familiar with the concept of GPG-signing a personal contract.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz it's not personal in any sense. signatures are pseudonyms for this purpose
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: The problem I am trying to solve in OpenBazaar is in particular how two pseudonymous agents can trust each other without knowing each other.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, conceptually similar to your thing, sure. people agreeing on a trade and exchanging the money and signing the contract in a pseudonymous manner.
thickasthieves: and can host illegal software without being caught
mircea_popescu: which is a matter of the wot. lettuce find the relevant article.

mircea_popescu: dignork yeah in that you have a point
mircea_popescu: still the major problem will be that while on average say it's an ideal market, 0% bias, that average has a poisson distribution of maybe 15% each way, so any individual buyer could see a price fuzziness as close to 30% as his luck gets.
mircea_popescu: ie, want to sell for 20, sell anywhere between 17 and 23.
