truffles: what caused his spiral though
BingoBoingo: Fischer was a champion of trolling IRL
truffles: i recall now, its playing in a country US had sanctioned
BingoBoingo: truffles: I'm not sure what caused Fischer's downward turn. Maybe it was a mental health issue. Maybe it was a crafty way to technically never lose the championship by appearing batshit crazy
truffles: im biased so i disgree :D

BingoBoingo: If the NeoBee guy didn't refer to Ukyo as Jon I'd think he was refering to Oliver/Usagi
mircea_popescu: ouch.
mircea_popescu: if i hadn't told the guy to be careful who he mixes up with, it'd be one thing ;/
truffles: why cant bitfunder pay?
pankkake: general incompetence I guess
truffles: theyve got some nice features etc
pankkake: if by features you mean bugs
truffles: im going off the list here lol
truffles: never used it
BingoBoingo: Last year there was just one GLBSE. This year there was BTC-TC and Buttfunder. The big question is the growth rate of fail exchanges additive and we get to watch 3 die or is it going to be exponential and 4 die?
pankkake: I haven't looked at whac crypto-trade is doing
pankkake: but btcinvest is not going to end well
BingoBoingo: truffles: Bitfunder can't pay because they tried backing a commodity with purchases of this maybe in an attempt to short BTC against fiat? http://www.alibaba.com/product-tp/142517860/Private_Label_Personal_Lubricant.html

BingoBoingo: pankkake: btcinvest was TradeFortress so that is already beyond fucked
truffles: personal lubricant heh
BingoBoingo: truffles: Check the minimum order quantity
pankkake: BingoBoingo: hmm no the other one. btcinve.com
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo look on the bright side : the sinking of glbse meant ~5k off the hands of innocent investors btc gone-gone
truffles: 275 nice
mircea_popescu: btctc + weex dissolved maybe 1-2k of actual investors funds, not counting what paper worth of related parties was sunk.
mircea_popescu: there will probably be more than 8 "exchanges" gone in 2014,
mircea_popescu: taking with them maybe 100 btc
mircea_popescu: one's an exponential going up, the other however's an exponential going down.
truffles: why jump to conclusions so fast, its only been a week?
mircea_popescu: by 2020 we will have 10 exchanges fold up each week, for a total loss of fiddy satoshi.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I find all of these failings beneficial to me. The mere existence of GLBSE and Pirateat40 did how much to artificially suppress BTC against fiat in 2012?
mircea_popescu: who's to know exactly. the guy did get publicly humiliated when he tried to "manipulate" the exchange rate.

Venat: whats up with tradefortress
BingoBoingo: Venat: Seems he is slowly fading away
Venat: well
Venat: is he a scammer now or a victim
BingoBoingo: Venat: You see that is a very Bitcoin problem. Because he can't pay everyone back he is a scammer whether he was actually hacked or if he is simply stealing the coins himself.
BingoBoingo: Venat: He could be both scammer and victim
pankkake: some scammers try to paint themselves as incompetent (labcoin)
pankkake: realsolid, interestingly, is very competent
pankkake: he could probably run successful businesses honestly
Venat: he claimed to have most of the funds in cold storage
Venat: thats the thing that itches me the most
Venat: tho i didnt use inputs.io (gladly)
pankkake: yeah, that's either a lie, or incompetence
pankkake: I did use it for short period of times… but always treated it as something I could lose
pankkake: the link to coinlenders was the most bothering
BingoBoingo: In the most flattering case TradeFortress was a victim of his own hubris keeping that kind of coin on a server
Venat: but what was the benefit of putting your money in input.io
Venat: and wasnt coinlenders something like btcjam?
BingoBoingo: RealSolid doesn't strike me as particularly competent pankkake
pankkake: mcxnow was working very well
mircea_popescu: there is a huge difference between being competent and working well.
mircea_popescu: let me demonstrate this : i am a well working random number generator now. here are some random numbers :
mircea_popescu: 932611793105118548074462379962749567351885752724891227938183011949129833673362440656643086021394946395224737190702179860943702770539217176293176752384674818467669405132000568127145263560
mircea_popescu: i am also very incompetent. here are the "random" numbers : http://www.piday.org/million/
BingoBoingo: I mean real Solid claims to have written McxNow in C++, but that might only be because his only programming experience is forking the Bitcoin client which is in C++
mircea_popescu: Venat it was btcjam with only one borrower (ther owner)
mircea_popescu: so it's the same thing, except rather than guaranteed monthly bleed you get guaranteed ragnarok.

markedathome: it was the guy with the spotifycoin site
truffles: i should try spame someday, it surely cant be that bad
markedathome: I had thought I'd told him I was having bitcoin-qt problems at the time, but can't find it in the logs.
mircea_popescu: markedathome nothing happened eh
markedathome: I also offered to return the btc when I got back on in september. it was mcorlett
markedathome: I can find logs of me having problems with bitcoin-qt in other channels, just not those directly related to telling him of the problem.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla iirc he's one of the guys working on that early ripple thing, with fellowtravellert and dace

truffles: u r being suspected of something, why wont they say what!
mircea_popescu: Open-Transactions
mircea_popescu: o you didn't ?
markedathome: nope - the only other thing i can think of was jurov's site
markedathome: but that was only as a user, not a developer
mircea_popescu: aite, i can't find a reference. i guess you probably answered q's about it at some point or w/e and ended up associated in my mind.
markedathome: also did some ui suggestions/testing on glbse 2 when it was in beta before going live.
markedathome: possibly - at the time there was the big thing with different exchanges, glbse was still in that crap blue interface before it was RoR'd and bootstrapped.

mircea_popescu: Racial tensions are inflamed at the University of California at Los Angeles following several incidents — most notably, one where a professor corrected the grammar, punctuation and capitalization in minority students’ assignments.
mircea_popescu: The act of correcting a black student was “micro-aggression,” according to the members of the student group “Call 2 Action: Graduate Students of Color,” which launched a sit-in
mircea_popescu: i didn't even know there's a university in burbank.

truffles: u have a logical stance on the word, implying that the hate will go away?
deadweasel: these words have meanings only in your minds, and they will all differ slightly.
ThickAsThieves: there is a pressure for black rappers to use the word nigger in their lyrics
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: well, if we're talking roots, examine the latin "niger"
ThickAsThieves: one they put on themselves
truffles: i think mp uses it implying that its just as bad as any word like "stupid"?
deadweasel: ThickAsThieves: pressure?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` maybe too distant a root. and it's not latin per se anyway, iirc it came from spanish/creole.
ThickAsThieves: when black rappers dont say it, they are not taken as seriously
deadweasel: they were already enslaved and now they are pressuring ecah other?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: spanish negro from latin niger
ThickAsThieves: deadweasel, all the time
deadweasel: best black artists don't use the word nigger in their rap
ThickAsThieves: best?>
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves here's the thing : rappers sell puff. in matters of puff, god forbid your puff is perceivced as less "quality" than the other's puff.

deadweasel: i don't think so, mp.
mircea_popescu: if anything, this is the basis i'd argue against your theory ThickAsThieves

jcpham: it's in CO and we love colorado
mircea_popescu: as far as they're concerned this is no big deal

mircea_popescu: this makes no difference
jcpham: i've already seen the anac graded cas coins so i know they grade them
jcpham: obv they've handled them
mircea_popescu: this also doesn't resolve the problem.
jcpham: but chain of custody is really important
mircea_popescu: suppose they send you the coin back w/o sticker. now what ?
mircea_popescu: you complain on the forum ?

mircea_popescu: do you ?

nubbins`: hm
nubbins`: i'd think that ANACS would have some sort of policy surrounding what happens when an employee destroys a submitted coin
nubbins`: although just guessing here
mircea_popescu: except it's unlikely "destruction" is defined as "having peeled a sticker off"
nubbins`: i mean, this is their business
nubbins`: for these coins, destruction is precisely defined as such
mircea_popescu: by you.
nubbins`: nod

mircea_popescu: get casascius on the stand

mircea_popescu: then lose.

jcpham: to me it renders it without value
nubbins`: why don't i just say "hey guys, why not sign this document stating that peeling the stickers off these constitutes destruction"
mircea_popescu: jcpham well yeah, but maybe you're insane. what's the court to know ?

mircea_popescu: nubbins` if you can get them to do that then sure, it's a constructive stgep forward.

nubbins`: still pretty difficult
nubbins`: 10 btc is much more precious than it once was, even to people who got in early
mircea_popescu: lol that's evil ThickAsThieves
mircea_popescu: i wonder if this is factual, btc coins could indeed be worth less than the btc in them
jcpham: i think i could sell some of them back to the people i bought 'em from
jcpham: for more
mircea_popescu: logic seems to suggest this is true, or else bitcoin wouldn't be an improvement in the first place.
ThickAsThieves: well it's a collectible
ThickAsThieves: not a bitcoin
mircea_popescu: i guess it's protected because you just peel the sticker yoursel;f

ThickAsThieves: Digital Alt Coin?
nubbins`: dick ass cunt
nubbins`: no idea really
pankkake: but basically he released protoshares, an altcoin, which is has a memory heavy proof of work
pankkake: he planned to mine 30% of it but failed because he got his hardware late and fucked up on diff adjustment
mircea_popescu: lol whatg.
pankkake: so he started trying to want more "decentralized" solutions
mircea_popescu: so he failed to premine his own alt scam ?

ThickAsThieves: well 1.75m shares is like 1.75% of company right?
mike_c: ah
mike_c: really? so their market cap thing is completely off?

mike_c: wow. that's misleading.
nubbins`: is it tho
mike_c: topace: what's the rationale there?
ThickAsThieves: so in that sense i'm not sure the buy orders are ridiculous at all
ThickAsThieves: maybe even overpaying still
ThickAsThieves: depends on your valuation

mike_c: um, which valuation only counts 2% of the shares?

pankkake: it happens with large numbers, it's silly
nubbins`: total noob question here, but are there any traditional assets that are traded simultaneously on, say, NYSE/LSE/TSE?
nubbins`: that's at least a starting point for this question of market cap
mike_c: no. we can argue over how to calculate the "price", but market cap is price * # of shares.

pankkake: they're already pretty diluted. homeopathic shares
mike_c: hm, i got my quote from their prospectus. where is yours from?
mike_c: oh
ThickAsThieves: page 2
mike_c: but that is authorized, not issued
mike_c: 17mm issued
mike_c: ?
ThickAsThieves: 20,000,000 of 100m issued
ThickAsThieves: 1.75m actually sold
ThickAsThieves: so
mike_c: yeah, 16.75mm
ThickAsThieves: the market cap you see
ThickAsThieves: represents only those
topace: ^ correct
mike_c: not correct :)
mike_c: fully diluted is 16.75mm, yes?
ThickAsThieves: no
mike_c: ... because i sez so?
ThickAsThieves: it says in the quote there 100m shares man
ThickAsThieves: only the ones sold in the IPO are publically traded
topace: there are 100m shares, 20m shares _will_ be on havelock eventually, 15m held privately on havelock, 5m floated. so far the 15m have not been allocated on havelock ☟︎
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 13 @ 0.35 = 4.55 BTC [-]
ThickAsThieves: i'm not clear on whether Havelock can issue the 5m or 20m remainder anytime
ThickAsThieves: sounds like they can
topace: we'll likely re-try the remainder of the second tranche in a few weeks
ThickAsThieves: at a new price or?
topace: once we get a couple other companies listed
topace: price TBD
nubbins`: should change the charts to show # of shares issued rather than price
nubbins`: to the moon!
mike_c: ok, so dividends.. they will be divided by 1.75 mm? the other 15mm get nothing right now?
ThickAsThieves: i agree the market cap stat could be better displayed
ThickAsThieves: i think just remove it from home page
ThickAsThieves: and have it on charts page and order page with better tag
mike_c: it says dividends will be divided by 100mm, but that doesn't make sense if no one owns 80mm of the units
topace: dividend goes to all 100m shares
ThickAsThieves: or show like 1750000/20000000/10000000 or whatever
mike_c: ok, you can't say the market cap is for 1.75m shares, but dividends are for 100m.
nubbins`: if i buy a previously unpurchased share a year from now, am i entitled to past dividends?
mike_c: and where the hell does 80% of the dividend go if nobody owns those units?
ThickAsThieves: nubbins be trollin
ThickAsThieves: it goes to operational
nubbins`: D;
mike_c: so to be clear: 15% of dividend to owners. 2% to shareholders. 83% to the company ledger.
topace: the panama fund owns 80m units, but since the ipo didnt sell out, it actually holds ~83.3m units still.
mike_c: i don't see how you can tell a potential shareholder "the market cap is based on 1.675m shares, but the dividend based on 100m"
ThickAsThieves: attack on 1000!
ThickAsThieves: its a misnomer
ThickAsThieves: its simply not the market cap
mike_c: yes. misnomer is a euphamism
ThickAsThieves: its the value of available shares
mike_c: it's wrong..
ThickAsThieves: 1000 lost :(
ThickAsThieves: sorry mp

pankkake: I feel like BFL will ship first, though the lols provided would be payment enough
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Well you chose the same yes side I did. I'm not sure activeminer is even as much of a thing so I placed it as no with them both not delivering hoping it might get action at least as a BFL delivery bet.
mircea_popescu: mike_c soccer sucks.
mircea_popescu: (for that reason)
pankkake: well the order website states november delivery
pankkake: so logically, VMC should ship before BFL announcing december
mike_c: well, as long as all possibilites are reasonable, it doesn't have to suck. horse races are parimutuel and have 8-12 outcomes
pankkake: MP logic "it doesn't work on my system, so it sucks"
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Well the butthurt from the ActiveMining fans that their being delivered pays as no delivery at all should lead to some entertaining butthurt, and what is Bitcoin without Butt?
pankkake: exactly
mircea_popescu: pankkake hater.
mircea_popescu: mike_c we are looking into perhaps making multi bets, it's not too hard to do, but tbh the mindfuck may be too much for the userbase. ☟︎
pankkake: I don't know if I could fix myself to be less of a hater. I regularly fail
pankkake: a good idea would probably to find out actual interesting bets that would need it
mircea_popescu: that too.
mircea_popescu: soccer still sucks, becauyse "draw" is fucking meaningless.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, a horse race say, should have a win for each horse
mircea_popescu: just... not much horse racing in btc. since the demise of the satoshi demon gal.
mike_c: agree with the mindfuck aspect of the problem. reject/accept bet ratio could get way out of wack.
mircea_popescu: for one. for the other, i'd have a "but i meant to bet on x3, misclicked bet on x5, bitbet is a scam now" stuff
mircea_popescu: on top of all the current.
mike_c: yeah, but that just drives more traffic as far as i can tell.
mircea_popescu: so far at least.
mircea_popescu: still, you know. contrary to what the forum would have itself think, bitbet is designed to prevent as much of this as possible
pankkake: the bet address page restates the bet
mircea_popescu: which includes waiting fucking hours to close bets etc.
mircea_popescu: pankkake people never read restatements. because it's below them to do such humiliating thing.
pankkake: I always do it because I'm a careful paranoid person
mircea_popescu: makes you weird.

kakobrekla: pankkake has an eye.
pankkake: I don't trust people who dress in white too
pankkake: worst is white socks
nubbins`: he's actually wearing two hugo boss shirts
kakobrekla: we call people who dress like that "cefurji"
pankkake: two? that's like the multiple popped collar
mircea_popescu: pankkake white looks great on womenz.

kakobrekla: ah hm possibly
pankkake: cryptocat was broken by design
pankkake: bitmessage had a flaw I forgot which
Apocalyptic: who is using BitMessage here by the way ?

lyspooner: how about proof of existence... is that a nice thing?
lyspooner: like, the website, not the proof that one exists
lyspooner: or how about a more general questions for the group here: are there any bitcoin companies that use the blockchain in unique ways and produce revenue, other than provably fair casinos or notarial services?
mircea_popescu: provably fair gambling is so far the most notable practical use of the blockchain.
lyspooner: can't we extend provable fairness elsewhere and make money?
mircea_popescu: if you do i'll list you.
lyspooner: cool, i like your style
lyspooner: but i'm not nearly that clever
mircea_popescu: there MAY be some use of the blockchain to force distribution of inheritances according to the will of the deceased and without possibility of taxation or other interference
kakobrekla: so with the recent update in btc price, .bit tld seems plausible
kakobrekla: this was discussed before
kakobrekla: nothing happend
mircea_popescu: maybe using something like http://trilema.com/2013/the-perfect-escrow/ or maybe something else
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla isn't that what namecoin is all about ?
kakobrekla: yeah but who is going to use that
kakobrekla: :D
mircea_popescu: lol
kakobrekla: you can sell sex.bit for millions allover again
mircea_popescu: it only costs like 1k btc to buy the tld iirc.
kakobrekla: yup
kakobrekla: or was it 10?
kakobrekla: well 1 or 10
mircea_popescu: lol. that may be a business idea, i recall we discussed it earlier this year
kakobrekla: yes it was discussed
mircea_popescu: back when btc was 100 or w/e
kakobrekla: it stuck in my mind a bit.
kakobrekla: see what i did there, pun
mircea_popescu: lol
TomServo: Speaking of tlds, what was with the latest batch? .plumbing? really?

TomServo: could probably have some fun with them but... wtf

kakobrekla: its the famous domain
mircea_popescu: anal.plumbing would be a much better domain
kakobrekla: that got sold and resold etc
mircea_popescu: and stolen and drama.
kakobrekla: you catch my drift.
ThickAsThieves: snakesarefor.plumbing
mircea_popescu: personally i doubt a new tld is worth the money, but hey.
