cazalla prolly shitcan the coinroll advert [09:53]
mircea_popescu yeah, as a general policy it's ok to take per-conversion deals with things that for whatever good reason sell themselves. [09:56]
mircea_popescu but with stuff in oversaturated novelty markets... let em pay cpm. [09:56]
mircea_popescu cazalla did it actually run the whole month ? [10:00]
BingoBoingo It came into being mid month [10:01]
BingoBoingo Oh, dunno that it even had two weeks [10:01]
cazalla mircea_popescu, no, about 1/2 the month if that [10:03]
mircea_popescu aha. [10:03]
cazalla was the 20th so not even 2 weeks but still [10:04]
mircea_popescu so wait, out of the 10k uniques quantcast reports for a whole month that leaves like 4k people, of which ~80 clicked ? [10:04]
mircea_popescu are you fucking shitting me, you're getting 2% ctrs ?! [10:04]
mircea_popescu this is what, 100x gawker ? jesus this thing is sweet. [10:04]
BingoBoingo !b 2 [10:04]
assbot Last 2 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/002MQAA.txt ) [10:04]
mircea_popescu CTR hasn't been over 1% since like 1998] [10:05]
cazalla pssh, some of my adsense sites did way better than that but every fkn link was adsense [10:06]
mircea_popescu im not talking here for whatever made-for-x astroturf [10:07]
mircea_popescu just, you know, a newspaper. [10:08]
cazalla i know but point is, CTR could be 100% but who cares if it didn't convert to a paying customer, total revenue this month = 0 [10:08]
mircea_popescu not the publisher's job to make the sale. [10:08]
cazalla yes, so i vote we remove the advert and offer spots per cpm [10:09]
mircea_popescu you want to be on qntra, you pay to be on qntra. let all the coin* sites have the "we'll do your job for you" deals. [10:09]
* CheckDavid (uid14990@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-kxlasyzlnpjhmmgu) has joined #bitcoin-assets [10:10]
mircea_popescu i don't think we even bother selling it until it shows great numbers and they come bangin' on the door. [10:10]
mircea_popescu course that raises the problem of wtf are great numbers. [10:10]
cazalla just charge in proportion to current numbers, increase as great numbers arrive [10:11]
cazalla maybe i'll whack up a sponsorship page outlining the demographics per quantcast [10:12]
mircea_popescu problem is like this : advertising is association. think of it like a woman (the publisher) getting married (the advertiser). [10:12]
mircea_popescu now, the time flows inversely, because these things improve with age [10:12]
mircea_popescu nevertheless, take a case like eva peron : prostitute at 15, singer/dancer at 17, [10:12]
mircea_popescu would you want to marry her at 20 ? [10:12]
mircea_popescu unless you're peron, she's gonna be a waitress. [10:13]
cazalla 6 months in BA and you're singing don't cry for me Argentina [10:13]
mircea_popescu lol [10:13]
mircea_popescu these people are beyond fucking clueless btw, im half tempted to write an article. [10:13]
mircea_popescu cazalla btw, http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/coindesk.com [10:14]

assbot cryptocoinsnews.com Site Overview ... ( http://bit.ly/12cJEtA ) [10:14]
cazalla i was going to attribute traffic drop to 2014 being somewhat of a write off but ccn is up and up so perhaps some penguin/panda styled penalty on coindesk, who knows [10:15]
BingoBoingo Coindesk still publishes text.. [10:15]
mircea_popescu isn't ccn mostly run as an mfa ? [10:16]
cazalla yeah, various authors so there is your cheap content to publish constantly [10:17]
cazalla so what is the solution/plan, the site is going into its third month, it would be nice to generate some revenue even if it is only a small amount [10:20]
mircea_popescu why ? [10:22]
mircea_popescu what i mean specifically : the site is generating excellent revenue as it is. none of which is monetary. [10:22]
mircea_popescu the conversion is very expensive, and not really necessary, so why bother. [10:23]
cazalla because there comes a point where i can make more working mcdonalds and using mcbucks to buy btc instead of qntra to btc for my efforts [10:26]
cazalla it's not an immediate need, looking more towards long term, do i look back after a year and think yes, on a per hour basis, this earned more btc than turning my mcbucks to bitcoin [10:27]
mircea_popescu cazalla just sell some shares neh ? [10:28]
cazalla that's like sacrificing long term for right now though [10:29]
mircea_popescu what i mean is : qntra is a bitcoin property. if bitcoin does well and qntra does well, it's not possible in a year for it to not be worth btc. [10:29]
mircea_popescu if you seek insurance against bitcoin doing well but qntra doing poorly, you can rebalance your shares-btc holdings proportions [10:29]

nubbins` oxys are a 1.5, IV/IM morphine is a 3 [14:37]
adlai these are child opiates though, let's compare them to fentanyl [14:38]
mircea_popescu anyway, that's more of a cargo-cultapproach to this science ("i know it's strong because this is how the doctors use it") [14:38]
nubbins` fentanyl is in the 50-100 range [14:38]
mircea_popescu as best i can see, oxycodone is more like codeine than heroin. [14:38]

nubbins` i thought i did, but nope. [14:56]
punkman was a long time, but I can attest to that [14:56]
nubbins` mircea_popescu i vehemently disagree [14:56]

cazalla i took 2 aspirin instead of 1 once upon a time [14:57]
nubbins` salvia puts you on fucking mars. [14:57]
cazalla i watched some guys have awful trips on salvia on youtube, you couldn't pay me to smoke that [14:57]
mircea_popescu nubbins` didn't put him on mars, what of that ? [14:57]
punkman can be hard to get the right dose [14:58]
nubbins` mircea_popescu the vaporization point of salvinorin is far higher than the temperature of the cherried, smouldering plant. you can quite easily "smoke it wrong". [14:58]
nubbins` correct method is to blast it with a butane torch while inhaling [14:58]
mircea_popescu some people get really elated watching theatre. heck, most 9yos spend the rest of the day doing weirdo dance move things after their first action movie experience. [14:59]

mircea_popescu nubbins` im merely bringing the argument that an inclination to be impressed with what one sees and a tendency to get excited about what's directly seen is more a thing of youth than a thing of humanity. [15:01]
nubbins` mircea_popescu: certainly, and there's no argument on that point. [15:01]
mircea_popescu in the same vein with "i won a million bucks in the reader's digest mailing, look!" [15:01]
nubbins` however, i'd taken relatively large doses of several different hallucinogens by the time i discovered salvia [15:02]
mircea_popescu well if there's no argument on that point, then there's no argument on the "watch the clouds" point either [15:02]
mircea_popescu they being the same. [15:02]
nubbins` and i knew precisely what hallucination vs impression/excitability was [15:02]
mircea_popescu exactly, huh ? [15:02]
nubbins` and i'm telling you that about 20 seconds after you inhale a lungful of salvia smoke, everything you see and hear and feel around you is just GONE and replaced with something else. [15:02]
mircea_popescu let's translate this logic. [15:02]
nubbins` like, completely gone. [15:03]
mircea_popescu "i know exactly how garza scams, having watched a number of his scams in trhe past, and i can assure you this one's legit" [15:03]

mircea_popescu :) [16:37]
mircea_popescu anyway, as a general point : breaking the address <-> user relation is the most important thing to do for bitcoin's success on an individual level. [16:37]
mircea_popescu worst fucking idea, not reusing addresses. [16:37]
* disident has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [16:37]
mircea_popescu the more ambiguous they are, the better. [16:37]
adlai too many negatives there... you're saying that reusing addresses makes them more ambiguous? [16:38]
nubbins` it makes the use thereof more ambiguous [16:39]
* Rulother has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [16:39]

* Rulother (~Rulother@209.197.26.81) has joined #bitcoin-assets [16:39]
mircea_popescu not reusing addresses is a bad idea ; reusing them makes them more ambiguous, which is good. [16:39]
adlai how? reuse ties two transactions together as having been signed by the same entity. this is OK for eg a business wanting to operate transparently, but less so for an individual wanting privacy [16:40]
mircea_popescu explain, because the logic doesn't follow. [16:40]
adlai Alice wants to pay Bob a bitcoin. She has one address with 2btc, so she creates a transaction sending bob one bitcoin, and one bitcoin change back to her own address. it's trivial to tell which bitcoin is alice's, and which is bob's. [16:42]
adlai scenario 2 - alice creates a transaction paying 1btc to one address, and 1btc to another. it's not trivial to tell (just from the transactions) which address belongs to whom. [16:42]
adlai lots more work for Eve [16:43]
mircea_popescu so you like to think. [16:43]
nubbins` i think you are both using different concepts of "reuse" [16:43]
mircea_popescu moreover, look at it in its proper light. [16:43]
adlai nubbins`: possibly, i'm against concept reuse :P [16:43]

mircea_popescu "what proof do you have ?" [16:43]

mircea_popescu "you've paid to address X!" [16:43]
mircea_popescu "mnope" [16:43]
mircea_popescu "well but somebody did!" [16:44]
mircea_popescu "sure. lots of people. what's your point ?" [16:44]
* Rulother has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [16:44]
mircea_popescu the key to escaping responsibility if being one of a group that did whatever. the way to implement this in bitcoin is through address reuse. [16:45]
nubbins` "but if all the movies go into the bin behind the movie return slot, how will they know who is returning their movies?" [16:45]
adlai "this address, which has previously been associated with you, made on of those transactions" [16:45]
mircea_popescu "associated" how ? [16:45]
mircea_popescu once this one use per address thing goes away, "associated" is a lolzword. [16:45]
adlai "you paid for your 1000btc porsche from it" [16:45]
mircea_popescu "wasn't me" [16:46]

mircea_popescu "wasn't me" [16:46]
adlai ok, let's take the porsche then cuz it's evidently not yours! [16:46]
nubbins` adlai this is an argument against payout address reuse by individuals [16:46]

mircea_popescu yeah nubbins has it. there's a difference here. [16:46]

mircea_popescu nothing to do with transparency really. [16:47]
mircea_popescu everything to do with the very privacy of the users. [16:47]
nubbins` adlai i mean obviously buying $100k of btc from a government-approved exchange, immediately purchasing a porsche with it, keeping change in same address, buying H from silk road, keeping change in same address, buying mpex shares, etc etc [16:48]

punkman while we're on the topic, I want to make a service that fetches a URL, hashes contents, and then bundles and notarizes those. thoughts? [17:07]

nubbins` jurov wrong bot dad [17:07]
mircea_popescu punkman as html ? [17:07]
nubbins` np [17:08]
mircea_popescu it'd be a great thing, page verification, but so many things can fuck it up. like, any page that includes the current time. a theme upgrade. [17:08]
punkman mircea_popescu: yeah but also other options. screenshots or WARC can also be done. [17:08]
nubbins` anyway good idea [17:08]
* RagnarDanneskjol has quit () [17:09]
punkman mircea_popescu: why's that a problem? [17:09]
nubbins` dat regex [17:09]
adlai the page will never verify [17:09]
nubbins` never ever [17:09]
mircea_popescu yeah, it'll be rare that it verifies so impossible to put to practical use. [17:09]
adlai if the data you hash includes a timestamp [17:09]
nubbins` which rendering engine will you use? [17:10]
punkman the service would notarize the fact that on X date, the contents were something that hashes to Y hash [17:10]
mircea_popescu yeah but... [17:10]
nubbins` how about pages that generate different html based on browser capabilities? [17:10]
mircea_popescu ^ [17:10]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 50637 @ 0.00035194 = 17.8212 BTC [+] {2} [17:10]
adlai this could work better in tandem with something(s) that archives the page itself [17:10]
mircea_popescu there are incredibly many problems with this. kinda why html is so hated [17:10]
punkman I've considered fetching from multiple geographical locations [17:10]
punkman at extra cost [17:10]
nubbins` i mean [17:10]
mircea_popescu there's a reason the wayback machine is run as charity. [17:11]
nubbins` you're going to hash a session id? [17:11]
mircea_popescu but here's an idea : have THEM maybe use your thing ? [17:11]
adlai what about contents? [17:11]
mircea_popescu shoot them an email, hash all their pages ? [17:11]
nubbins` you and i pull down a website right now using the same browser on the same hardware, we're getting different content [17:11]
nubbins` it's unverifiable, full stop [17:11]
adlai let the user (who requests hashing site content) specify somehow the part of the site they want hashed [17:11]
* Rulother (~Rulother@72.16.217.169) has joined #bitcoin-assets [17:11]
nubbins` let the user copy and paste it [17:11]
adlai then your hash confirms that this site contained a certain text [17:12]
mircea_popescu yeah but then how do you prove it's off the site. [17:12]
nubbins` bullshit it does. [17:12]
mircea_popescu pretty much the only way to do this is with sworn testimony. [17:12]
* Rulother has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [17:12]
mircea_popescu you basically have to ask someone to go there confirm your screenshot is correct. [17:12]
punkman nubbins`: preview before bundling, so you make sure it didn't need JS enabled when you only asked for HTML [17:12]
nubbins` let the user open element inspector, change the headline on aljazeera.com to say "adlai sniffs farts", hash that and send it off [17:12]
nubbins` it proves they ran the article [17:12]
nubbins` right? [17:13]
adlai that wouldn't work unless I could change the document that punkman's bot fetched [17:13]
mircea_popescu adlai what if i select every 6th letter and it spells out "i did your mom" [17:13]
nubbins` adlai think it thru [17:13]
nubbins` punkman's bot fetched a document, right? [17:13]
punkman the idea is basically this https://archive.today/ but with signing [17:13]
assbot archive.today - webpage capture ... ( http://bit.ly/1z8BGfj ) [17:13]
nubbins` what document did it fetch? [17:13]
adlai nubbins`: think what through? you can change whatever you want in your own browser, but you can't change the communication between bot and server without compromising somethnig [17:14]
nubbins` fuck the bot [17:14]
mircea_popescu actually... sure you can, but let's not get into the entire mitm http story. [17:14]
adlai don't kick the baby [17:14]
nubbins` i can do a deed by hand [17:14]
adlai mitm http = compromising something [17:14]
nubbins` i can also hash a html document by hand and send dust to it [17:15]
nubbins` "hey man the bot didn't pick up my file" [17:15]
mircea_popescu no, because something you can't verify isn't something, it's chtulhu. [17:15]
adlai no, that's "I created some file, and the bot isn't agreeing with it" [17:15]
adlai nubbins`: the bot's signature on a file isn't proof-of-existence, it's proof-of-that-server-said-this-to-me-at-that-time [17:15]
mircea_popescu ben_vulpes: (i think) << pretty sure you're right. [17:15]
adlai back in basic training this one drill sergeant said some words that have echoed with me to this day... "If you ever start thinking something, just stop." [17:16]
nubbins` no, it's proof that the bot hashed a string of text and sent dust to the address [17:16]
adlai the whole point is that you trust that the bot only does that for text that it fetches from URLs [17:17]
nubbins` or are we taking the bot on blind faith now? [17:17]
mircea_popescu btw, it occurs to me, the one thing qntra would really need would be a resident business/finance analyst. [17:17]
punkman related https://perma.cc/ [17:17]
assbot perma.cc ... ( http://bit.ly/1z8CLDN ) [17:17]
mircea_popescu mike_c how you doin' on time these days ? [17:17]
adlai punkman: either nubbins` or I are kinda missing the point, can you explain it again pls? [17:17]
nubbins` so we trust that the bot fetches text from a website and doesn't alter it and hashes it and sends dust to the address [17:17]
punkman adlai, what you said [17:18]
nubbins` but there's no way to verify it because we'll never get the same hash [17:18]
mircea_popescu well, rarely. [17:18]
nubbins` so we actually have to visit the site at the time the bot archives it [17:18]
mike_c limited, but I could handle something. [17:18]
mircea_popescu i think trilema perhaps hashes to the same thing. [17:18]
nubbins` to verify with our own eyes that that's what the site said [17:18]
adlai which is why you give the bot a URL and an xpath (or regex, or whatever you like for specifying a part of the document) [17:18]
nubbins` and then make a note of it for future reference [17:18]
nubbins` this is retarded [17:18]
adlai so the bot doesn't say, "the entire document fetched from hashed to " [17:18]
adlai it says, "the document fetched from contained a section, located at , hashing to " [17:19]
mike_c you looking for somebody to analyze btc businesses? that's a tough task with the limited information they usually provide. [17:19]
punkman you also get the contents the bot fetched so you can download for safekeeping [17:19]
mircea_popescu mike_c lemme value proposition you : if you're going to work now and again, it may work much better to be a qntra star analyst and get shares for that work, than sorta be stuck with a solo blog. [17:19]
adlai that's working in tandem with an archive, with crowdsourced archives :) [17:19]
nubbins` so the bot says "the phrase 'i hate newfies' fetched from the url http://iwouldneversaythatihatenewfies.com hashed to " [17:20]
nubbins` useful [17:20]
mike_c yes, but qntra posts don't have graphs [17:20]
mike_c maybe i could fix that. [17:20]
mircea_popescu mostly because you're not there yet. [17:20]

mike_c this is perhaps a good idea. i gotta run for a bit. but I think you're right. [17:21]
adlai nubbins`: "you can't not communicate". that would say that either the owner of that domain is a liar, and said at that time that he hates newfies, or that bot has become unreliable. [17:21]
