Apocalyptic: again some "bitbet scammed me" thread ?
kakobrekla: not scam as such.
mircea_popescu: "bitbet scammed me by sending my winnings to the address i paid from as i told it to"
mike_c: i figured that was one of your sock puppets. those scam threads are good for business :)
mircea_popescu: i never had sock puppets
mircea_popescu: i guess by now this is improbable, perhaps i'm the last one, but anyway, mpoe-pr is actually my only forum thing
mike_c: yeah. i was kidding. except about the good for business part.
mircea_popescu: i guess the original one was, but i doubt further roflcopter does anything really.
mircea_popescu: who knows.
mircea_popescu: sucks this can't really be a/b'd
herbijudlestoids: lunchtiem
herbijudlestoids: banh mih for $3.50 :)
mircea_popescu: i just did the math. the bitbet scammed me dude actually bet... about a dollar,
mircea_popescu: and lost about 0.7 cents to the low weight.

mircea_popescu: he
mircea_popescu: s got like > 100 words in there.
mircea_popescu: the entire fucking forum is worth like fiddy bitcoin at these rates. all 500k threads of it.
herbijudlestoids: doesnt it say the bet was 0.011BTC? i.e. 0.011 * ~1000 ~= 11USD? or was this when the price was lower, he says it was when th eprice was higher lol
mircea_popescu: a wait you're right, i had a degree of magnitude off.
herbijudlestoids: bro u scamd me out of 11USD
mircea_popescu: he lost 7 cents to the low weight. i guess tis legitimate.

ozbot: Taylor Swift Attacked at Grammys - YouTube
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm curious about the hardware
mircea_popescu: of all the various items around me right now, none carry labels, for instance.
asciilifeform: why would they be labeled?
pankkake: brands?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea.
mircea_popescu: but somehow it became fashionable of late.
asciilifeform: 'intel inside' and 'designed for winblows' stickers look great on toilet tanks
asciilifeform: assuming you meant those
mircea_popescu: i mean everything, really.
asciilifeform: what's your answer to silkscreened print? 'dremel' ? or belt sander
mircea_popescu: i don't recall buying silkscreened shit any time recently.
asciilifeform: e.g. logo on mice, keyboards
Duffer1: "In your progress report of November 30th 2013 you stated "We have this last week shipped our first products to customers." - What product was shipped?"
Duffer1: Kslaughter: We shipped some accessories products to India.
kakobrekla: eh who cares for that shit
pankkake: lol
kakobrekla: as long as its not hugo boss
kakobrekla: im talking labels
mircea_popescu: my kbd came w/o a logo. so did the mouse.
kakobrekla: my brain ignores it
kakobrekla: just like i do not see assbot quotes any more
kakobrekla: they are there, i just dont see them
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I find sugar cubes work well removing silkscreen from hard plastics.
pankkake: keyboard has no logo but I want to replace the win keys by penguins or something. the mouse has a discreet logo… but I've seen the new version, the brand is illuminated :/ https://secure-b.vimeocdn.com/ts/132/730/132730099_640.jpg
mircea_popescu: i don't have a win key either.
kakobrekla: for example, i still have stickers on my lappy, yes they are ugly and yes couldnt care less
asciilifeform: i know of no decent keyboard with a winblows key
mircea_popescu: a laptop is another good example, all sorts of shit to excise in there.
pankkake: hm, you made me realize, I have environmentalist propaganda on my monitor
kakobrekla: you people are such girls.
pankkake: asciilifeform: http://webwit.nl/kbc60/1.jpg

By contrast, the low-capacity individuals showed little additional activity in these areas when
Duffer1: it's lulzier than ever MP
pankkake: the fact that it's still a thing, and that the shareholder let it happen is sad :(
mircea_popescu: pankkake you need to re-read the log earlier.
Duffer1: poor gecko :(
mircea_popescu: " In September with bitcoins @ 140, with competition with 400 GH/s and 500 GH/s chips our machines would not ROI, so a decision was made that we would have to refund all of our pre-orders, so we did not commit a lot of our funds to building boards, we was also trying to get enough pre-orders to make our minimum lot with eASIC."
mircea_popescu: the september decision retrospectively made in january.
mircea_popescu: how did that go, "can't spell = scammer" ?
pankkake: asciilifeform: I don't like to move my hands, I'd rather use Fn+something. and vim hotkeys make arrow keys redundant
kakobrekla: hey i cant spell and im not .. a... nvm.

kakobrekla: where is the wow
pankkake: the guy isn't supposed to trade company funds on that kind of stuff
pankkake: he's supposed to make miners

asciilifeform: pankkake: no pg-up/down keys either. do you also wear a barrel instead of clothing?
mircea_popescu: d'oh.

asciilifeform: you can try it right there
mircea_popescu: should be on left hand
mircea_popescu: so he can still jack off
pankkake: I am left handed
mircea_popescu: a nm then
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: doug engelbart's original chorder was left-hand.
asciilifeform: or rather, symmetrical, but intended for left hand.
asciilifeform: right hand held his (original!) mouse

asciilifeform: i would have built my own keyboard long ago, if i had any way to produce the key caps.
asciilifeform: other components (buckling springs, controller, chassis) can be sourced or laser cut
asciilifeform: but key caps, afaik, must be injection-molded to be of any usable quality.

asciilifeform: likewise the shafts in which they move
kakobrekla: cant you scavage them?
asciilifeform: (tolerance ~0.1mm, like a rifle chamber)
asciilifeform: if you scavenge, you're stuck with the original key labels
asciilifeform: and yes, who doesn't own a fat sack full of 'model M' key caps
kakobrekla: you dont need a fat sack for yourself do you
mircea_popescu: so hire a secretary, make her type random strings for half a year
asciilifeform: sure ya do. when one's in the wash.
mircea_popescu: cheap chinese caps, the paint wears off
asciilifeform: injection-molded. 1982, still going strong.
asciilifeform: the black is the inner plastic.
mircea_popescu: o those
mircea_popescu: weird fucking plastic, the white shit too. bachelite or something
asciilifeform: re: secretary: why would you do that to your springs.
asciilifeform: if i ever do make a keyboard, i'll probably machine the mechanicals from aluminum.
kakobrekla: well so you need 2
kakobrekla: still not a fat sack
asciilifeform: if doing something, might as well do it right
pankkake: http://web.archive.org/web/20070114050531/http://tim.griffins.ca/gallery/keyboard/DataHand.html found it!

Azelphur: mircea_popescu: yea, I realise that, and it's something I worry about, but I am heavily involved, and I have sunk a lot of time and money into it
ThickAsThieves: he's not an idiot, he's a "hacker"
Dimsler_: lol hes new to me
mircea_popescu: Azelphur these are not considerations.
Dimsler_: vitalik is a moron
Azelphur: so hopefully all will go well :)
Dimsler_: that has no idea about economics or cryptography
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: oh, you know we already have functional hardware right? :P
Dimsler_: Azelphur, take your fucking scam else where
mircea_popescu: that's fine, but the amount of time/effort sunk into anything has no bearing. you drop a hand of cards when you know they can't win, not when you're comfortable with how much you threw into the pot.

Azelphur: mircea_popescu: yea, I agree, it's a risk.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
asciilifeform: altera cyclone V GX
Dimsler_: Azelphur, list on mpex so we can pump and dump it?
asciilifeform: max ALUs - 113,560
Azelphur: Dimsler_: haha :)
asciilifeform: max clock: 550MHz
asciilifeform: http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyclone-v/cv_51001.pdf
asciilifeform: tell us again about 10GH/sec SHA256.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I reckon we'll do fine though, at the end of the day we have the thing and it's hashing right now, so we've already won really
Azelphur: even if 0 preorders and nobody buys, we'll just mine on it and laugh.
Dimsler_: why don't you just mine on it now
mircea_popescu: so if you already have the thing and it hashes why is your "finance industry" pal posting stuff david thorpe designed ?
Azelphur: Dimsler_: we are
mircea_popescu: thorne*
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: posting pictures of an altera dev kit is hardly amazing/interesting
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
kakobrekla: ^^
kakobrekla: assbot has it
asciilifeform: speaking of which,
asciilifeform: http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=167&No=830
mircea_popescu: according to who, the finance industry ? cmon.
Azelphur: but you do have a point, I could get our FPGA guy to post some stuff
Azelphur: yea, I'll bug him about it :P
asciilifeform: $180.
mircea_popescu: anything is better than a 640px wide picture of six green lines
asciilifeform: for anyone who has these same fit-ten-pounds-of-shit-in-a-five-pound-bag skillz.
mircea_popescu: Azelphur so your product you've won with is a fpga ?!
asciilifeform: 'those who refuse to do arithmetic are doomed to talk nonsense.'
kakobrekla: 100 btc aint gonna make asics
kakobrekla: not yet at least.
Dimsler_: lol
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: seems so, ain't many decent FPGAs out there for altcoins
Azelphur: seemed like a good niche
mircea_popescu: aha.
Dimsler_: alt coins suck
Dimsler_: theres no prize for second place ok
Dimsler_: charles lee knows this first hand
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: and hopefully won't get me thrown in jail, haha
mircea_popescu: Dimsler_ actually miners may make a buck out of all the retarded kids who think a bigger number of coins is better.
Dimsler_: mmm 81 million litecoins
Dimsler_: must have cryptocurrncy with billions of coins
mircea_popescu: then they can get scammed out of fiddy billion coins at a time instead of .5
Duffer1: azelphur so your target is sha256 altcoin miners?
Azelphur: Duffer1: hell no, the sha256 is mostly for shits and giggles
Azelphur: the main targets are scrypt and prime
Duffer1: BitEx M2 coin?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 8 @ 0.59993737 = 4.7995 BTC [+] {4}
kakobrekla: <Duffer1> azelphur so your target is sha256 altcoin miners?
kakobrekla: all sha alts can be mined on asic afaik
Dimsler_: alt currencies = modern day boiler room
Dimsler_: like i get satoshi premining himself the 1mil in coins
Dimsler_: because he deserved something for the smart scheme
Duffer1: ya kako lol that's what i was trying to point out :P
Dimsler_: but charles lee is just a fag that offers nothing
Dimsler_: same applies to the rest of the crypto alt clowns premining themselves coins
mircea_popescu: Dimsler_ he didn't even premine it.
Dimsler_: yeah i know
Dimsler_: lol
Azelphur: Duffer1: our number theory guy really wanted to try his hand at a new alt :)
Azelphur: and baring in mind he's pretty much perfectly qualified (number theory / fpga) it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with
Duffer1: tell him to be honest with himself and just name it Hodor Coin
Azelphur: :P
Dimsler_: lol new alt
Azelphur: I can probably drag him in here, if ya'll are interested.
Dimsler_: no
Duffer1: that would be fascinating
Dimsler_: no it would not quit trolling the guy
Azelphur: lol
Duffer1: what's the six month plan for bitex?
Dimsler_: its the i'll take all your money and in six months i'll be gone plan
asciilifeform: recipe for those disinclined to be chumped: 1) read published (3 yrs +) verilog src for sha256. 2) build. 3) see minimum gate count for unrolled hasher 4) laugh
Apocalyptic: seriously Dimsler_ wtf
asciilifeform: and this is the ideal figure - does not include memory controller, scrypt crap...
Azelphur: Duffer1: get the FPGAs out, work on new cores, we're also thinking of doing some bitcoin commerce
Azelphur: Dimsler_: would be hard considering there's no way to give us your money yet ;)
kakobrekla: its like all in one shaman stop
Duffer1: bitcoin commerce?
Dimsler_: kakobrekla, lol
Azelphur: Duffer1: yea, ie setting up a reasonably well stocked computer store
Azelphur: there doesn't seem to be anyone doing that in UK
Dimsler_: now a computer store?
Dimsler_: honestly great buisness plan
Apocalyptic: "this will be our temporary home while we setup our IRC server", Azelphur why would you setup your own IRC server for 1 channel ?
Azelphur: that's one of my things I'd like to work on in the future, he asked for the 6 month plan, which goes beyond the FPGA ;)
Azelphur: Apocalyptic: that'd be Oliver not listening to me again when I told him no IRC server
Azelphur: he fails at listening sometimes :(
Apocalyptic: sounds like a waste of time to setup and manage it
Azelphur: yup
Azelphur: and an annoyance to the users
Azelphur: it won't happen, it'll stay on freenode :P
Duffer1: freenode4life
Azelphur: ^
Apocalyptic: *4lyfe
Dimsler_: lol
Dimsler_: goo efnet
Dimsler_: Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Dimsler_: - Mark Twain

BingoBoingo: polac this seems to be the best channel for bitbet
polac: ok i have some questions but i dont see lot of activity here
BingoBoingo: What I don't get about the tesitfying Van Cleef is instead of Bitcoin they wanted to discuss:
BingoBoingo: "a company called COEPTIS is preparing to launch the Global Standard System (System) that will issue a medium of exchange called the Global Standard Currency (Currency). This Currency, which will circulate electronically on a closed settlement platform, will be 100% backed by physical gold, providing for freedom from default and fully protecting the holder’s value."
Troic_: polac, it will come (the activity) or you can just ask, perhaps someone else knows the answer.
BingoBoingo: polac: IRC is a slow medium. Put forward the questions and someone should get to them within an hour or day or so
mircea_popescu: polac yes it is.
mircea_popescu: that's the first time someone wanted to know if im a bot ;/
chetty: you aren't?
deadweasel: it's pretty obvious he is.
assbot: his AI is almost as good as mine
deadweasel: well, he's your bot, assbot
jurov: rofl
deadweasel: AI making AI, what has the world come to?!
polac: ok is related a bet on bitbet.us . if i make a BET that is obvius that will win.. .. how i know how much BTC i will get on reward how i make the calc
jurov: polac have you noticed there is a calculator?
polac: is this BET . that left 7 hours .. to end
polac: http://bitbet.us/bet/590/bitcoin-market-capitalization-to-be-above-4-5-billion/
jurov: right on the bet page
ozbot: BitBet - Bitcoin Market Capitalization to be above 4.5 billion USD on Feb 1st
polac: yes i know that is a calculator. but i dont know if is the clean amount or total amount
polac: here stas say if i put 1 btc i get ---Yes pays: 0.9904118 BTC ----- No pays: 1.04474976 BTC
polac: so if i put 1 btc i get 0.99 + 1 btc investment i get total 1.99 ?
BingoBoingo: polac: You'd get 0.99 total because of betting so late.
polac: so how much i get? bcz calculators say i get 0.99
polac: how much i can get that is what i wanna know
jurov: 0.99btc
BingoBoingo: polac: That's what you'd get. Betting 1.0 BTC would return to you a total of 0.99 BTC
polac: so intstad of win i loss
polac: 0.1 btc?
BingoBoingo: polac: 0.01 BTC, but yes. Because it is a sure thing.
polac: i undersatnd now so the calculator say the total profit i get included the . amount of the bet i pplace + profit?
deadweasel: polac, minus your late betting
deadweasel: meaning you're too late to make money on this bet if you bet yes and win.
deadweasel: you should probabgly wait until the betting is closed, and place it then.
deadweasel: it seems to work out well for people.
deadweasel: they learn LOADS
jurov: in other words, the weight of your bet is less than bitbet fee
polac: another question iwhen i put the (Send winnings to originating address) i dont need to do nothing more. will be automatly send to the wallet from the money come from
polac: ok so its only good when the weight its high?
jurov: yes, that's the principle, bet early, get more
kakobrekla: get a better rate
kakobrekla: yeah
kakobrekla: i dont understand the last question re sending winning to originating address
mircea_popescu: <polac> so how much i get? bcz calculators say i get 0.99 << you get exacty what it says, 0.99
mircea_popescu: deadweasel evil boy!
mircea_popescu: polac IF you run a full node wallet, then yes you control the address, and so will be ok.
jurov: polac: you need a wallet that contains actual private keys (such as bitcoin-qt/multibit/electrum)
mircea_popescu: if however you do not run a full node, then you will be in trouble most likely.
mircea_popescu: use a special address to receive.
kakobrekla: well, blockchain.info wallet is client side rite, so that should work too
polac: i use.. electrum client
polac: its ok?
jurov: yes, with electrum you'll be fine with sending to originating address
mircea_popescu: just make sure you don't delete it/lose that wallet in the meanwhile.
kakobrekla: the bad thing about using same address is that you lose stats
kakobrekla: unless you send from same one each time

deadweasel: polac: be sure your bet will make it on-time. check for slow transactions, include a transaction fee.
deadweasel: and don't bet more than you can stand to lose. it's gambling, not investing.
polac: that is the trick on bitbet.i
kakobrekla: also check in bitbet footer if the last block was 14 hrs ago

pankkake: hmm… how about a seal?
asciilifeform: pankkake: seals inspire unjustified confidence
asciilifeform: the art of forging seals is centuries old.
benkay: what kind of seal actually works? i'm aware of any.
benkay: unaware*
pankkake: I don't have any knowledge of a foolproof seal
benkay: so what's the point?
deadweasel: feelings
pankkake: well there mihgt be
deadweasel: want to feel secure
pankkake: no
pankkake: perhaps ship the device in two parts?
benkay: man i don't wanna 'feel' secure!
benkay: i want to know how NSA plans to address the in-shipment diddling of computer bits by fiat organizations.
asciilifeform: pankkake: there are two identical rngs (removable.) each is an analogue device, with convenient probe points and a very simple circuit (29 parts, 26 of them passives)
pankkake: I was thinking of some sort of cryptographic seal; you'd have to activate the device in some way
pankkake: of course, I have no idea if it can work
asciilifeform: FW is signed, and users will be encouraged to suck it in and verify the sig
asciilifeform: each unit will also come with a set of high-res photographs of its internals, signed with my personal key.
pankkake: well, that was the best I could come up with when thinking about "signing" the hardware
asciilifeform: the only real defence against an elaborate fake is to actually understand the function of the device
asciilifeform: the way a Pashtun understands his Kalash.

pankkake: the future is drone delivery with complete video feed of the fly path, with blockchain time proofs!
pankkake: hm, I'm not sure the second part solves anything
pankkake: video feed would be sent to the expeditor, obviously
asciilifeform: there is no 100% defence, even in principle, against a world-class forger
asciilifeform: one can take photos, sufficiently detailed to include imperfections of the pcb, solder joints, etc. and sign them
asciilifeform: but this requires the user to actually give a damn
asciilifeform: and sit with a jeweler's loupe, etc.
pankkake: is there any way to take pictures in a reproducible way?
asciilifeform: pankkake: it depends what you mean by 'reproducible'
pankkake: the images would then be comparable by a machine
asciilifeform: if you are considering a machine for the comparison, you are in a state of sin.
benkay: there is also the glitter fingernail polish approach
ThickAsThieves: it could be done sorta

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it'd work cheaper, not sure better.
pankkake: benkay: yeah. that's why planet's better; everyone blogs how he sees fits, the planet aggregates
ThickAsThieves: the marketer in me thinks itd be better all around
ThickAsThieves: save trilema
asciilifeform: next thing we know, we're all moving into a cult commune with a hundred years of canned food and auto-turrets...
ThickAsThieves: which does pretty good
benkay: auto turrets for all!
pankkake: so readers go to one place if they wish, but bloggers are where they want
ThickAsThieves: so a feed reader, curated
ThickAsThieves: rather, filtered
pankkake: yes
ThickAsThieves: or both
ThickAsThieves: but curated sounds so centralixed
benkay: i don't want readers who can't subscribe to an rss feed on their own
benkay: shit, i don't want readers who don't curate their own reading lists!
ThickAsThieves: yknow chrome doesnt make it easy

ThickAsThieves: i know blogs that dnt have em at all
benkay: cryptome doesn't have an rss feed for that matter
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> next thing we know, we're all moving into a cult commune with a hundred years of canned food and auto-turrets... >>> and nudity for womenz under 35 ?
asciilifeform: ya
pankkake: maddox.xmission.com used to not have one, too
ThickAsThieves: you could also implement the trilema blog fees
ThickAsThieves: to support assbot's family
ThickAsThieves: and the writers
mircea_popescu: anyway, buncha people have blogs, which imo is the best thing.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves forget the readers, who cares.
pankkake: creating a blog is easy. wordpress.com, done
ThickAsThieves: i happen to believe that art is for the viewer, not the creator
mircea_popescu: this novel nuttery with the readers. who cared, cca 1970, when telling a joke, how many people in the office were gathered round ?
mircea_popescu: it's like "o dan's joke was so much better, even sammy from the mailroom was here"

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves maybe your readers all live in 2200. how do yu know ?

ThickAsThieves: i also believe in creating an environment of facilitation
mircea_popescu: we're discussing your view here
ThickAsThieves: if you want a flower to grow, maybe plant a seed
ThickAsThieves: hell, maybe you even water it!
mircea_popescu: dude, if you got a seed plant it already, forget the flower. what, keep it in your pocket till it becomes lint ?
ThickAsThieves: well i did say it was a lazy idea
benkay: what's the best time to plant a tree?
benkay: twenty years ago.
benkay: what's the second best time to plant a tree?
benkay: today.
mircea_popescu: the big loser in all of this is, of course,
ThickAsThieves: not 19 years ago?
mircea_popescu: kako.
mircea_popescu: it's like...
mircea_popescu: "hey, implement this thing ? " "may i spend some time with my girl ? " "ok"
ThickAsThieves: lol
mircea_popescu: comes back... hey, we got 43987593485 more things to implement.
mircea_popescu: DARE YOU take off ever again ?
ThickAsThieves: then he gets mad at the girl "see what happens!"
mircea_popescu: poor chick ends up with irish sunglasses...
mircea_popescu: "all i did is walk!"
ThickAsThieves: walk yourself next time!
mircea_popescu: here's the leash, you got hands, go walk!
ThickAsThieves: <asciilifeform> ThickAsThieves: would be interesting to see a widget like 'metafilter' with a 1btc entry. <<<< i recall at least a couple "idea men" saying theyd make similar things
ThickAsThieves: also, i think mjr has a micro blog payment thingy
ThickAsThieves: blottery?
ThickAsThieves: incentivized reading or such
ThickAsThieves: in the past i suggested similar,
pankkake: I used to have a bot posting RSS feed updates to channels, but it was some Ruby crap and blew up
ThickAsThieves: run a service that holds like .1 btc for you in an account, it runs a chrome plugin,
pankkake: but that kind of stuff is quite useful
ThickAsThieves: it autopays in blog fees while urfing
ThickAsThieves: and gives you a popup if over a certain price
ThickAsThieves: to approve
ThickAsThieves: frictionless micropayments
pankkake: that's how the web should have been
pankkake: instead of advertising everywhere
mircea_popescu: ^
ThickAsThieves: well it will
mircea_popescu: as i said! fucktards were allowed on the web before payments were put in, fucked everyhing up
ThickAsThieves: the advertising thing is almost fully milked
pankkake: isn't advertising one of the first things to be cut, when companies have financial troubles?
ThickAsThieves: small biz
ThickAsThieves: not big biz
pankkake: oh, I thought it was
ThickAsThieves: its backwards, yeah
ThickAsThieves: small biz cuts the thing they need most
ThickAsThieves: its very difficult for small biz to interpret value from marketing
mircea_popescu: or to avoid being scammed by marketeers.
ThickAsThieves: was my next point
mircea_popescu: last thing a small biz needs is to try and fucking compete with the government-backed wasters.
ThickAsThieves: they are bombarded with "opportunities"
ThickAsThieves: a small biz gets burned repeatedly
mircea_popescu: whenever i hear of a start-up working on a superbowl ad...
ThickAsThieves: and then when they finally bump into someone that can actually help them, they have lost all faith
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, after talking about advertising yest i got some pretty interesting info... seems superbowl is also pretty much dead.

However, please acknowledge that I am taking a heavy loss on this one, so please accept a full refund of your initial investment Plus all dividends up to the last one that was paid.

Dimsler_: or other
mircea_popescu: yes, but the problem is it all stems from your own personal delusion, i'd say.
Dimsler_: greed is my motivational factor
Dimsler_: which other ones did you want me to have?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 65 @ 0.00284 = 0.1846 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: well, that's fine, but it doesn't help in this angle.
Dimsler_: i love all the preaching bitcoiners how they are going to be saving farmers in argentina or africa
mircea_popescu: anyway : pimps will take whatever the customer pays.
Dimsler_: fact is btcs main use will be for illicit purposes
Dimsler_: ofcourse he will
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is interesting for the student/teen that doubles as a hooker on her own
twizt: hookercoin
mircea_popescu: because that way she can't get caught, not really, and moreover she gets the crowd she likes
twizt: has it been made yet?
twizt: LOL
mircea_popescu: (ie, white dorks/nerds)
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 50 @ 0.00284999 = 0.1425 BTC [+]
Dimsler_: well bitcoin is for anyone who doesn't want to A) have a problem with asset seizure B) wants to hide there activity financially C) want to launder there proceeds
mircea_popescu: right ?
Dimsler_: so why wouldn't the pimp facilitate the usage of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: so the last thing a pimp wants is crypto.
mircea_popescu: the pimp and the govt have in fact the exact same interests :
mircea_popescu: a stable of cattle they're exploiting.
Dimsler_: ofcourse but the pimp is operating within his own brutalizing operation
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 80 @ 0.0028462 = 0.2277 BTC [-] {2}
mircea_popescu: derp.
Dimsler_: outside of the norms of the government criminal gang
Dimsler_: hes not paying taxing or utilize the court system for conflict dispute
mircea_popescu: anyway.
twizt: government = real mafia

Dimsler_: countries are giant farms
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 70 @ 0.0028399 = 0.1988 BTC [-]
Dimsler_: they have the slaves, the brutalizing class, the high preists, and the farm keepers
mircea_popescu: anyway, more's the point : i been trying to get the fucktarded girls on crypto for 2 years.
mircea_popescu: they're dumb as rocks, lazy as a limp cock and proud like peacocks.
mircea_popescu: it's slow going, and in the end who the fuck cares.
Dimsler_: thats why a simple pimpcoin interface
mircea_popescu: lead that linked thread, you'll get the gist of it.

Dimsler_: lol contest
Dimsler_: honestly that entire forum is a den of theives, liars, and fraudsters
Dimsler_: mircea_popescu, what did they sell btct.co for anyway/
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8850 @ 0.00089601 = 7.9297 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: sold ? it was never sold.
mircea_popescu: it just shut down.
dub: What a viscous cycle.
mircea_popescu: lol
Apocalyptic: he's willing to sell it at least
herbijudlestoids: hullo
Neil: mircea_popescu: Seems I was right - bitbet gives you weight based on when bitbet processes the bet, not when the bet went in the blockchain... which is not good for extended downtime
herbijudlestoids: here is the distribution of 10 tick log normalised returns in MPOE for the last 2 days http://imgur.com/bGRhQW5
herbijudlestoids: looks like a good skew
pizzaman1337: 2 days isn't much of a sample size though, is it?
herbijudlestoids: similar formation to the 1 tick returns i plotted yesterday, seems like there is plenty of room for speculators
mircea_popescu: Neil yep
herbijudlestoids: pizzaman1337: all i got so far :) but youre right small sample size
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids looks remarkably centered tbh
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: returns definitely seem to skew positively, the distribution does not show the commonly taken levy form that i usually see, more like poisson distribution
mircea_popescu: virginal
herbijudlestoids: ?
herbijudlestoids: i want to construct some kind of benchmark index from the different assets and use that to build information ratios etc
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids i mean, for prices to distribute normally it'd mean there;s not much meta activity going on
mircea_popescu: ie, virginal.
azi`: does anyone happen to have any experience with cryptostocks.com?
herbijudlestoids: financial timeseries vary rarely distribute normally
mircea_popescu: azi` yes. it's a scam.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids yeah.
azi`: mircea_popescu: why is it?
herbijudlestoids: anyway these are just play charts until more data comes, just to get myself familiar with ingesting it and processing it...
mircea_popescu: see for instance the sad story of their own selfipo, linked an hour ago. http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-01-2014#468657 ☝︎
