punkman: also a hypothetical, if you have a multibet and nobody bets on the winner, would the house take it?
mircea_popescu: calculating the odds becomes more complicated. also, "nobody" bets on a winner is impossible, bitbet seeds all bets.
mircea_popescu: but that aside, a parimutuel situatiuon where nobody bets on a possible outcome is not economically probable.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 5 @ 0.072 = 0.36 BTC [+]
punkman: yeah I suppose it'd make sense to throw tiny amounts at all unlikely winners
mircea_popescu: n owinner is unlikely. i mean, is a bet that nets you 10kx your bet unlikely at 9900:1 odds ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway : in principle multibets should be reducible to multiples of single pair bets.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 6 @ 0.02511 = 0.1507 BTC [-]

mircea_popescu: punkman, why do you think it's harder to seed "correctly" ?
mircea_popescu: there's no corectness involved, bitbet doesn't make any effort whatsoever to split the seed correctly.
punkman: what you just flip a coin?

mircea_popescu: i don't do it personally, and the mods just get to have fun. i hold no particular audit of their success. i guess some try to beat the game or w/e, i personally don't care, and that's where the incentive structure starts.
mircea_popescu: as long as management is concerned, seed bets just have to add up to .1
mircea_popescu: which is why they're seed bets. the idea is that the players will even it all out.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That spam thing well preceeded S.DICE
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, he had enough sense to listen to me when i told him how to do the buy back.
benkay: huh well this makes me happy
benkay: perhaps the usg isn't as inimical to btc biz as i'd previously gathered
mircea_popescu: and as to why he ponied up, probably bcause it's a laughably small sum, it gives the sec something it already had (i doubt any us citizen can sanely argue that th eauthority of the us govt and its agencies doesn't extend to him)
BingoBoingo: Well, he basically avoided the gasenwagen by buying them a BMW
mircea_popescu: and closes his past (at the dubious cost of his next five years)
mircea_popescu: but i doubt he had much of a future as an issuer anyway, at least on the short term
mircea_popescu: benkay, well because if he does an ipo now he'd be roughly in the situaiton of karpeles
mircea_popescu: ie, "but you've signed here that you won't do this thing you're doing"
mircea_popescu: <benkay> perhaps the usg isn't as inimical to btc biz as i'd previously gathered << where'd you gather that ? reddit ?

mircea_popescu: it's just a hard thing to grasp this, that the thing can't even walk and yet it's a dragon, which you aren't, will never be etc.
benkay: there are worse dragons to slave for.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> my father didn't have the wisdom to see that, and it nearly cost him his life. the us isn;t in a much better position really. // i'd love to hear this story sometime.
mircea_popescu: course these days people tend to make the converse mistake in their personal life
mircea_popescu: most kids aren't worth the hassle people put into them by a long shot.

davout: funnily enough, their mockup still has the mastercard logo on it
fluffypony: ja I meant sauce on MasterCard saying no (besides MasterCard putting Bitcoin on their lobbying form)
davout: "The possibility had been raised that the Xapo card would launch on the MasterCard network, but this turned out not to be the case."
davout: you were there when it was predicted, nothing to be too suprised about :-)
Naphex: davout: well you can def do the mastercard/visa thing
Naphex: if you wanna credit the customers
Naphex: in basics you just keep bitcoin as a guarantee and set a max limit for a month on a customer visa/master
Naphex: and then enjoy the risks
davout: no, the correct way is to use 3d secure and reject cards that don't get you a proper liability shift even with 3ds
davout: either way that's not what the convo was about :-)
Naphex: i wouldn't count 3dsecuire as ireversible
davout: it is, if you know what you're doing
Naphex: probably but in the end your only guns will be laywers&politics
davout: that's true for a lot of things
Naphex: yeah but it doesn't have to be with btc
davout: what are you talking about

pankkake: what about the debian "let's replace random data by zeros" guy?

pankkake: arguably this was because openssl was doing very weird things
mircea_popescu: "The attack can only be performed between a vulnerable client *and* server." followed by "OpenSSL clients are vulnerable in all versions of OpenSSL." for great winj, and then "Servers are only known to be vulnerable in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-beta1."

mdev: #bitcoin ops quieted me, probably indefinitely because he says bitcoin address reuse is dangerous, even though link after link that i've found, while most discourage it, non i've seen actually say it's dangerous
mdev: the android bug was a result of a bad random number gen
pankkake: addresses that never had outgoing transactions are sligthly more secure, as the private key is hidden

pankkake: but to distinguish transactions the process is : "I want to send 1 BTC" "ok, send me 1.00000832 BTC"
Naphex: so if you don't want to double spend / or do more then 1 transaction per confirmation
pankkake: oh, well, no. you can have multiple inputs on one address

mdev: the public key argument thing, about it being exposed after the first transaction, not sure why that's an issue, RSA is based off handing out public keys, I know bitcoin uses ECDMA or whatever, but still if the public key can't be trusted
mdev: don't get why that's being used
Naphex: mdev: if there are not transaction your pubkey is unavailable
mdev: sure, but once your public key is out there
mdev: don't get why they're so concerned
mdev: if that alg is weak or they're not sure about its reliability why didn't they use a more trustworthy one like RSA
mdev: since that's relied on with HTTPS all day ever day
benkay: simple solution: top up your hot address from cold addresses infrequently, spend from the hot address as frequently as you want. minimize risk by minimizing coins in the hot, potentially compromisable address.
mdev: so they used a weaker alg to shorten the key length, does that mean if the alg they used gets compromised all addresses that have done transactions are vulnerable anyway?
mdev: if they have coins in them?
mdev: well that seems to be the only argument i've seen, security wise as far as not reusing addresses
mdev: the fear it's vulnerable or could be
Naphex: its related to quantum computing

mdev: learned on reddit that "fresh cut grass" smell, is a chemical grass releases when it's in pain
mdev: or maybe distress, so yeah, kind of depressing
mdev: since you're about to go mow, also thanks for the clarity, so you guys trade, very neat
mdev: considering bitcoins were worth pennies a few years ago, and peaked over 1k, plus the fact they're limited
mdev: makes it hard to sell them, considering their increased value over time
benkay: mdev: i'll buy 'em lol
mdev: I wonder what the early bitcoiners that spent like 1k bitcoins on pizza's think about that now
gribble: (calc <math expression>) -- Returns the value of the evaluated <math expression>. The syntax is Python syntax; the type of arithmetic is floating point. Floating point arithmetic is used in order to prevent a user from being able to crash to the bot with something like '10**10**10**10'. One consequence is that large values such as '10**24' might not be exact.

mdev: mircea_popsecu just a dev who's interested in bitcoins, I was quieted in #bitcoin and recommended here when I got into a disagreement about reusing addresses
mike_c: also fyi, to multiply by 1000 you just add 3 zeros ;)
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu: mastercard told xapo to go fuck itself << if i recall, you're friends with the fellow who runs it, ask him wtf << well what's to ask ? boy likes girl, girl doesn't like boy. what would you ask him ?
mdev: iwilcox, I may have linked him an article about it, that
mike_c: doh, i coulda swore that worked
mircea_popescu: methinks kako is maybe not the best person to be running funds and shit
mdev: thanks, was the 1k+ per btc to the price it is now, solely a result of mtgox going under?
mircea_popescu: benkay [...]<< i only ever found 1 acceptable cup in bsas << no actually there;s plenty, you just need good intel :D
mdev: really? what caused it then
mike_c: it was actually the reverse, the price dropping killed gox.
mike_c: obviously kako, but don't confuse him with the advanced shit yet.
mike_c: how'd the euro end up today? any new cool huge pictures?

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I made it on old forum. My guess is there are syncing problems between the two.
benkay: mdev what kind of dev do you do?
mircea_popescu: the friedcat post is uncharacteristically convincing actually.
mircea_popescu: pankkake: though it is definitively a weird idea << no argument there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, o nicht nicht, ganz fur den fingernstossen
mircea_popescu: benkay: bitcoin "devs" are idiotically and self-destructively committed to this "no reuse" idea, ever since implementing the braindead wallet schema that creates new addrs for your change << it's not that bad of an idea. the problem is that they misrepresent it as a central point of protocol, when it's merely a marginal helper tool thing. sorta like people thinking all carpenter tables must also have a vase on them
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you know the whole thing went in the logs coupla days back
mircea_popescu: mdev: the public key argument thing, about it being exposed after the first transaction, not sure why that's an issue, RSA is based off handing out public keys, I know bitcoin uses ECDMA or whatever, but still if the public key can't be trusted << because cargo cult sekoority.
