decimation: One of the best ways for a violator to demonstrate that its violation was not willful is to self-disclose it. Indeed, in recognition of this fact and in order to encourage self-disclosures of systemic problems, the Department of Justice has followed a policy of foregoing prosecutions of companies that make complete, and self-initiated voluntary disclosures.1 (The same policy does not apply to individuals.)

decimation: I think the best feature of an undersea journey across the ocean would be the forced disconnection from the world. Seymour Cray said he got his best ideas digging a tunnel under his backyard.
TestingUnoDosTre: that's where all the fastest internet connections are... under da sea
decimation: http://www.businessweek.com/1989-94/pre88/b31571.htm Cray's parents nurtured his sharp, voracious mind. His father stocked a basement laboratory with chemistry sets and radio gear and permitted young Seymour to tinker into the wee hours.

TestingUnoDosTre: isn't chemistry one of the most dangerous activities for kids>
decimation: yeah, so is life

mircea_popescu: why is the web made by imbeciles! srsly, how hard is to think this one through guys!
mircea_popescu: cazalla mind quoting the brief mention ?
cazalla: mircea_popescu: 32 As an aside, there are options contracts for delivery of bitcoins and bitcoin - denomina ted commodity futures being sold at the MPEx Exchange . Recent news reports suggest that the Commodity and Futures Tr ading Commission in the US is evaluating its role in derivatives contracts that are denominated in bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: "My understanding of insider trading law is that in order for it to be insider trading, there must be some violation of trust. In other words, if someone walked up to you and said “Im the CEO of this public company and I’m about to make the biggest cash sale in the history of the company and we will blow away all wall street numbers and you should buy the stock”. That is without question material, non-public info
mircea_popescu: rmation. But if you trade on the information, is it insider trading ? The answer as best I understand the law is NO. It is not insider trading. Why ? Because the CEO did not ask you to keep the information confidential. Nor did he ask you not to trade on the information. You have no responsibility to him. You can trade and tell the world about his deal if you would like."

mike_c: well, price support is nice. but it seems that can lead to what just happened. that is, it gets profitable and so a huge flood of hash hits the network, profit is taken, and hash leaves.
mike_c: now the only way to attract would be to make it profitable at the new difficulty level, which is way too high

mike_c: well, mining is a PITA. I would be interested to know what it would cost to get an option from some miners where they would agree to put some hashes on ATC when we want in the amounts we want.
mike_c: i'd also like to hear more from mircea_popescu if he thinks this is a bad idea.
ThickAsThieves: maybe we start the Altcoin Foundation
mike_c: lol
ThickAsThieves: except we actually do stuff for the health of the coin n stuff
mike_c: yes. can i be an amber member? platinum is so 2013.
ThickAsThieves: i think stan might be good at designing membership levels

ThickAsThieves: or somesuch
fluffypony: is there a firm love for sha256 as an algo?
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Yes
fluffypony: ok
fluffypony: in terms of multi-pools
fluffypony: why not look at something like KGW or DigiShield?
fluffypony: they're both half a dozen of one, six of another
fluffypony: but they prevent multipools from taking advantage much
mike_c: one of the nice things about altcoin is that is bitcoin in disguise.

danielpbarron: right, that's what i'm referring to
danielpbarron: what I mean is: give gribble a twitter account
asciilifeform: keybase.io << the scambase that wants your priv key, right
danielpbarron: you don't have to use keybase to do what i'm suggesting
danielpbarron: the concept can be done independantly
fluffypony: asciilifeform: apparently you can use it with pubkeys only
fluffypony: so I'm told
danielpbarron: you can
asciilifeform: how keybase can be trusted to do anything at all, is beyond me
danielpbarron: lol so don't trust keybase; you can still GPG sign a data object describing your association with a twitter profile and then calculate a hash of that signature and tweet it
asciilifeform: or sign a message 'account xxx is mine'
danielpbarron: w/e
asciilifeform: of course, later account is taken over by spammers, whoever
danielpbarron: it would help to have a standard, whatever it is, so that the WoT twitter bot could scan for the verification tweets for the purpose of authing users
danielpbarron: you could issue a twitter revocation message
danielpbarron: your GPG key wouldn't be compromised

fluffypony: nameco.in ?
danielpbarron: that would be cool too; i've been a fan of Namecoin for a while now

mircea_popescu: bounce:where was that piece about quantum-proofing bitcoin? it's apparently doable << dude srsly. quantum proofing is not doable.
BingoBoingo: Eh, some of my best days have been 72 hours up followed by 18 hours down.

mircea_popescu: mike_c actually i think the variations in hashing are great. -2/3 isn't too impressive, and every al;tcoin goes through this scenario.
mircea_popescu: atc is handling it way better than the average.
mircea_popescu: "profit is taken" is nonsense. the huge flood mines what, 50 blocks ? 500 ? what profit is there to be taken,
mircea_popescu: a single day on xtc there were like 30k blocks traded.
mike_c: BingoBoingo: ah, that's cool
mircea_popescu: so in short, i don't think it's a bad idea if thats how you want to spend your time, but i do think it doesn't do much either way.
mike_c: "every altcoin goes through this" << yes.. and most of them fail.
mircea_popescu: not for this reason.
mike_c: bitcoin's biggest drop ever was 18%
mircea_popescu: let the coin write its own history, what.
mircea_popescu: remember that "Resilience" is just another way of saying "not giving a shit".
mircea_popescu: i mean, this coiuld marghinally be an argument if there were like, merchants, doing txn, being disrupted. but the average txn per block is like... 0.8 or something
mircea_popescu: in other words, "woman, i know you love the kid, now let him crack his fucking skull open. we'll mend him afterwards, IF he manages."
mike_c: yeah. i guess if there were a merchant trying to use ATC he'd probably be the only one worked up over it. hey satoshijack, what you think?
mircea_popescu: afaik he mines lol.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, there's exactly one failure mode of a coin, and that is, no buy side.

mircea_popescu: doesn't look worrisome yet.
mike_c: re: cuban, you started the article basically saying he was clueless :) i'm just a fanboy, so i was feeling defensive.
mircea_popescu: incidentally : bitcoin's constant dfif growth is a major driver of inflation (more coins / unit time than designed = inflation), and that acts as a price depressant.
mircea_popescu: mike_c indeed you were :p but i was saying he's an asshole, not clueless. which i do believe is what happened there, he started trying to be pr-asshole and ended up losing focus and just spilling.
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: Yeah, bothers me when people say "Hoarding is bad" or "People need to use their coins instead of holding them" or "Speculators are ruining the market"
mike_c: it was some good quotes from the trial though.
mircea_popescu: mike_c definitely.
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada what do people know. they also say "abstinence only sex ed" and stuff.
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: because what they're really saying is "I just want to be able to sell this thing for value without actually having a market to determine what that value is"
JorgePasada: all those things completely ignore the buy side of the equation

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: has anyone in here ever floated the idea of bringing the WoT to twitter? << i dun think i'd want that really. but maybe a gpg-based ircitter may be interesting.
JorgePasada: Following up to here
JorgePasada: It certainly isn’t wishful thinking, it’s rather fearful thinking,
JorgePasada: Amusingly, there’s no difference between these two :)
JorgePasada: Explain further on that comment

mircea_popescu: i have no investment in your emotional investment. consequently, whether you wish or fear is all the same to me.it's merely the amplitude that interests, not the direction.
mircea_popescu: "makes little difference to the tree which way the wind blows. all that matters is how strongly" sorta thing
JorgePasada: Yeah
JorgePasada: The guy who you're taking the excerpts from seems to miss (or be terrified of the fact) that all the questions he's asking and the points your making come back to one thing
JorgePasada: the subjectivity of value
mircea_popescu: more like the preminence of pattern over intent.
JorgePasada: and he's trying to wrap it up all nice and neat and objectify it into something that can be cold, cool and calculated and make him feel all safe and warm inside
