mircea_popescu "Vitalik understands growth hacking, and got himself a landing page. It's got that modern, professional, single-pagey look the kids all love, and takes in emails. There's even a countdown to the Revolution beginning, although it's entirely opaque as to what precisely is Revolving other than Satoshi in his grave." [00:01]

mircea_popescu "Humans inevitably want to be a part of a thing. Mostly they want to be led into glorious battle by strong men, but since men no longer lead and battle is not a thing, humans now coalesce into writhing, headless balls of worms in the traditional socialist style of leaderless leadership."

mircea_popescu i like how the research office simply restates the MP stand on the matter back in 2012, [00:21]
benkay ya well what is research after all [00:21]
mircea_popescu yet the "community" and it's "press" fails to print in two inch letters "Hey! We have a guy here that's two years smarter than the best of the USG. That's why you're fucked." [00:21]
mircea_popescu lettuce instead focus on what pothead got busted last. [00:22]
pankkake > metal band skinny puppy [00:23]
pankkake > torture [00:23]
pankkake I guess I'm USG-proof [00:23]
kakobrekla lol [00:23]
pankkake maybe the torture is confusing music genres [00:24]
mircea_popescu you they probably torture with arab koran chanting, or with nun music [00:24]
mircea_popescu kinda funny, if you think about it, how "torture" = enforced enlarging, in this case. god forbid you listen to some music you don't normally. [00:25]
pankkake I would probably like it… I dislike happy music though [00:25]
mircea_popescu what else, they make some modest woman go about naked. torture of all hells. yet other women love being nude. [00:25]
mircea_popescu basically the one thing people most hate is being exposed to other things. [00:25]
truffles pankkake why's that [00:25]
mircea_popescu to the degree it's "torture" [00:26]
pankkake truffles: happy music makes me sad, while sad/dark music calms me [00:26]
truffles weird [00:26]
truffles sad music makes me even sadder [00:27]

kakobrekla btw if someone wants to do it, primecoin fork with a finite coinbase should do better than most of alts outthere imho [00:31]
ThickAsThieves subprimecoin [00:32]
pankkake with a coin cap? [00:32]
pankkake maybe so, but it will happen eventually [00:32]
pankkake certainly slower without asics [00:32]
pankkake (block reward decreases with difficulty increasing) [00:33]
ThickAsThieves no, Altcoin will be the clear winner because it actually serves a purpose: to clean up the ridiculous altcoin market so everyone can relax, focus on one, and become rich just like early bitcoin adopters! [00:34]

mircea_popescu Much of the noise in the liberal American internet revolves around making people feel good by talking about things they think are bad and raising the consciousness in a futile quest to change the world by talking. There are hugely diminishing returns to raising consciousness (even assuming the ideas you're promulgating aren't of the rankest communist origin). << this. [00:37]
mircea_popescu fucking "raise awareness". [00:37]

mircea_popescu "Yahoo Voices is where your expertise and perspectives take center stage! Here you will find millions of articles, videos, and slideshows on every topic – published by Yahoo users, just like you." [00:47]
mike_c i would like it make sense. what is unclear? [00:47]
mircea_popescu god help me. you mean yahoo is seriously going to do the whole bs usg thing in 2014 ?! after it died ? [00:47]
benkay mhm [00:47]
KRS1 Companies typically launch an IPO to raise funds, along with a business plan, to bring a particular product or service to market with the intent on making a profit. Why shouldn't a company raise funds for X amount of BTC, cash it in for fiat? According to the business plan, the investment should request $X dollars for Y project. As long as the funds are matched, and everything falls [00:48]
KRS1 into place, the rest is trivial. IPO's are not meant to capitalize and profit directly from investment money. [00:48]
mircea_popescu IPO's are not meant to capitalize and profit directly from investment money. << ?! what ?! [00:48]
mike_c in bitcoinlandia, there are 2 types of ipos [00:49]
KRS1 That money is to be used for the particular product or service mentioned in the business plan, right? Or do companies reinvest the money raised from the IPO and make that grow? [00:49]
mircea_popescu in general a share placement capitalises the corp. that capital is then deployed. [00:49]
mircea_popescu this system whereby corps announce what they intend to use the money for is rare irl. [00:49]
kakobrekla more common in croudfunding shit [00:50]
KRS1 The capital is deployed is key here. [00:50]
kakobrekla which is what btc ipos are [00:50]
kakobrekla only they are croudscamming [00:50]
mike_c well, so is most fiat crowdfunding too [00:50]
KRS1 The IPO funds should not be reinvested and grown further, they should be used to fund the project mentioned in the business plan right? [00:50]
mircea_popescu KRS1 yes. the company, once capitalised, has a fiduciary duty to deploy capital efficiently. [00:50]
KRS1 So a bitcoin IPO is very different than fiat IPO? [00:51]
mircea_popescu efficiently means it will see positive returns above the risk free rate [00:51]
KRS1 Right, and thats what I'm having a problem with. [00:51]
mircea_popescu aha ? [00:51]
KRS1 Why can't the company cash in the BTC to fund the project? [00:51]
kakobrekla www.coindesk.com/new-hong-kong-bitcoin-exchange-welcomes-mainland-customers/ [00:51]
mircea_popescu because it's likely that this will result in negative returns [00:51]
ThickAsThieves they can [00:51]
mircea_popescu which is contrary to wat the company is supposed to be doing [00:51]
ThickAsThieves the point is way simpler than all this [00:52]
ThickAsThieves when you invets your bitcoins, you are selling them and buying that thing [00:52]
ThickAsThieves so dont expect to get more bitcoins than you put it [00:52]
ThickAsThieves in [00:52]
* naemsi has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [00:52]
ThickAsThieves what mp is saying [00:52]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves this isn't really the thing discussed tho [00:52]
mike_c i didn't see that statement on the neobee prospectus :) [00:53]
kakobrekla so dont expect to get more bitcoins than you put it < wait what?? [00:53]
pankkake "HKCex will also allow customers to use deposit and withdraw funds to credit cards using a PayPal gateway" interesting. no dogecoins though [00:53]
ThickAsThieves is that he feels that is a major consideration [00:53]
ThickAsThieves for the company [00:53]
ThickAsThieves when to spend bitcoin [00:53]
kakobrekla why would ANYONE invest in ANYTHING then [00:53]
KRS1 Once you reach yor capitalisation goal, why can't yo ujust move on and mature the IPO as discussed in the business plan? The idea is not to make money off the initial investment, its to make money according to the business plan. [00:53]
ThickAsThieves but that company cant outpace bitcoin appreciation in whatever currency it plays in [00:54]
mircea_popescu pankkake kakobrekla curious how long that lasts. [00:54]
mircea_popescu KRS1 ok, forget bitcoin for a moment, cause this is perhaps throwing you. [00:55]
mircea_popescu suppose you are running the Fuckville power plant. [00:55]
KRS1 Who cares how much you could have made off of the initial BTC investment. As long as you've reached your investment goals, deploy the capital and fund the project. [00:55]
mircea_popescu this plant runs on coal. [00:55]
mircea_popescu you have some money to buy coal. [00:55]
mircea_popescu coal today costs 100 a ton. [00:55]
ThickAsThieves you might even say that investing in a specifically bitcoin-industry business exacerbates this problem [00:55]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12400 @ 0.00091709 = 11.3719 BTC [-] [00:55]
mircea_popescu they just open a new coal mine. this coal mine is larger than any one on earth, and close to your plant. [00:55]
mircea_popescu you figure at this juncture coal prices will likely go down, if nothing because of transport, and so forego buying coal yet. [00:56]
mircea_popescu next week, the coal mine installs steam power [00:56]
mircea_popescu you figure, this will take coal even lower. and forego again. [00:56]
mircea_popescu next week, they bring in mega tip top drilling tools. you again.... [00:56]
mircea_popescu now. you nominally are in the business of buying coal, [00:56]
mircea_popescu nevertheless your correct decision has so far been to not buy any coal. [00:56]
mircea_popescu what's the problem ? [00:56]
ThickAsThieves youre in the wrong business [00:57]
KRS1 yup [00:57]
mircea_popescu no, you're not. [00:57]
KRS1 Go back to your directors and tell them to rewrite the business plan [00:57]
KRS1 and IPO [00:57]
mircea_popescu uh. [00:57]
ThickAsThieves lol [00:58]
mircea_popescu you're in the wrong business because your business just got better ? [00:58]
mircea_popescu this doesn't make sense at all. [00:58]
ThickAsThieves we're going back! to the future! [00:58]
KRS1 You are god damned right it doesnt =/ [00:58]
ThickAsThieves nothing got better [00:58]
ThickAsThieves it just didnt get worse [00:58]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [CFIG] 1 @ 0.12 BTC [-] [00:58]
ThickAsThieves and since time passed, it did get worse [00:58]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 5 @ 0.126 = 0.63 BTC [+] [00:58]
mircea_popescu it got better, your expenses keep dropping [00:58]
mircea_popescu which means your margins keep improving. [00:58]
KRS1 And investors keep wondering why they invested so much. [00:59]
mike_c as opposed to the investors in the company that DID keep buying coal and lost a shitload of money [00:59]
mircea_popescu right. [00:59]
KRS1 At the club house they are getting laughed at by their colleagues. [00:59]
kakobrekla lmao [00:59]
kakobrekla is this cartoon network? [00:59]
mircea_popescu it seems so [00:59]
ThickAsThieves why arent more startups proclaiming to be 100% bitcoin? [01:00]
KRS1 Their wives are ready to leave them and even the security guard at their estate is giving them better investment tips. [01:00]
ThickAsThieves i'll start a record label [01:00]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves because the club house is mostly populated by retards. [01:00]
mike_c krs1, wait a year. the clubhouse will have an enitrely different population. [01:00]
ThickAsThieves and i wont deal with anyone unless its bitcoin [01:00]
ThickAsThieves wanna be a vendor? whats your wallet addy? [01:00]
ThickAsThieves etc [01:00]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 2 @ 0.24310363 = 0.4862 BTC [01:00]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves sounds like s.mg for sound. [01:00]
mircea_popescu if people were actually willing to pay for music this may be a brilliant idea. [01:01]
KRS1 So if we all invest in a company that needs $100 dollars, using bitcoin, as long as the $100 dollar investment goal has been reached, what is wrong with executing the rest of the business operations? [01:01]
ThickAsThieves before i found bitcoin that was the plan a label called Thick As Thieves [01:01]
ThickAsThieves maybe i mix em [01:01]
KRS1 Its perfectly fine to cash in btc for fiat at the time because $X dollar investment has been reached to launch business operations. [01:01]
mircea_popescu KRS1 that you don't want to buy a house on fire at the list price. [01:01]
mircea_popescu let them either put the fire out or else let the fire run out and see what it's worth [01:02]
KRS1 You have to purchase at some point though..time is money. [01:02]
mike_c around we go. what is wrong with it is that in a year that company will be worth $200 and the bitcoins it raised will be worth $2,000 [01:02]
mircea_popescu jurov http://explo.yt/post/2014/01/31/MPEx%3A-The-Missing-Manual-7-Bonds-and-MPOE-stock << pretty good shit. nice and thorough. [01:02]
KRS1 mice_c: Investment funds are requested using an IPO based on a business plan. If you never execute it and expecting your capital to fund the business, thats a big problem. [01:03]
benkay that'd be because i wrote it, mircea_popescu [01:03]
mircea_popescu benkay wait, wut ? [01:03]
ThickAsThieves maybe this could be the first charge of the Bitcoin Republik, we make a 100% Pure Bitcoin badge [01:03]
benkay ;) [01:03]
jurov benkay, maybe you wrote it and you will get paid [01:04]
ThickAsThieves any person or entity that only deals in bitcoins [01:04]
jurov but it was wildly inaccurate at places [01:04]
mike_c yes, it's not that companies using their bitcoins are doing something "wrong", just stupid. [01:04]
truffles lotta bitcoiners straddling the fence, makes me doubt their faith [01:04]
mircea_popescu lol jurov is such a capitalist :D [01:04]
jurov btw, part 8 futures is there too [01:04]
benkay there were mistakes in the pricing examples. [01:04]
deadweasel mind you all, i failed at it first. [01:04]
benkay scuse me - i made mistakes in the pricing examples. [01:04]
KRS1 If the market crumbles on bitcoin and you never executed your business plan and angry investors everywhere want your head then what? [01:05]
truffles hide [01:05]
KRS1 This is why I think that article is bunk. [01:05]
deadweasel change usernames [01:05]
ThickAsThieves well it was part of the plan right? [01:05]
KRS1 Well written, but has no logical basis. [01:05]
mircea_popescu KRS1 but looky, what officers do is make calls. [01:05]
mircea_popescu some of them make good calls, some of them make bad calls. [01:06]
ThickAsThieves just state in your plan your bitcoin strat [01:06]
mircea_popescu this is the substance of the ipo [01:06]
mircea_popescu not some "business plan", that's not how ipos work [01:06]
mircea_popescu that's how board meetings work, where the board selects ceos [01:06]
KRS1 Its an intriguing problem, but if the IPO is never launched and the business keeps investing the initial investment funds, which is risky, then this is idiotic imo. [01:06]
mircea_popescu i guess in retrospect this is yet another one of those places where naive "financiers" of the glbse troop confused discting things cause well, what did they know [01:07]
kakobrekla KRS1 if you dont want bitcoin exposure, GET THE FUCK OUT OF BITCOIN [01:07]
ThickAsThieves so mp, he has a point you should elaborate on [01:07]
mircea_popescu KRS1 well sure. but in principle, yeah, if you don't trust a unit of account it's saner for you not to hold it at all [01:07]
KRS1 kakobrekla I think you are missing what I'm saying..sorry if I wasn't clear.. [01:07]
mircea_popescu than to invest in corps that use it but have foreign assets. [01:07]
ThickAsThieves what specifically IS your recommendation on how a bitcoin-funded op spends [01:07]
mircea_popescu for instance : if you think the dollar is going to shit, you're better off buying euro, than buying Ford shares on the thinking that ford does business in yurp [01:08]
mircea_popescu at least grosso modo speaking [01:08]
benkay hey mircea_popescu Ubitex looks like it beat Skepsidyne to listing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6838.0 [01:08]
KRS1 ThickAsThieves: My recommendation is simple...if the IPO requests $X amount of dollars to fund project Y, convert BTC to fiat and execute the business plan accordingly to yeield project Y. Simple. Don't reinvest investment dollars. Thats stupid. [01:08]
mircea_popescu o hey yes. benkay. "Shares are not securities." lolzy [01:08]
kakobrekla they are indeed insecurities, mostly. [01:09]
mike_c ThickAsThieves: a btc-funded op should spend its money to make more bitcoin. like to bankroll just-dice. [01:09]
ThickAsThieves like if S.MG has a fiat expense, what, youre gonna rob shareholders? [01:09]
mircea_popescu KRS1 "if the IPO requests $X amount of dollars to fund project Y" contradicts " convert BTC to fiat" [01:09]
ThickAsThieves we're kinda saying all spending of bitcoin is bad business, right? [01:10]
mike_c yes [01:10]
mircea_popescu we're saying that the quick increase in the btc rate puts responsible, competent ceos in the position where they forego fiat deployments [01:11]
mircea_popescu this is a major problem for bitcoin atm. [01:11]
KRS1 But you have to spend it to make anything happen. [01:11]
ThickAsThieves atm, or forever? [01:11]
mircea_popescu no argument. which is why it's a problem. [01:11]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves hopefully it settles down. [01:11]
mike_c seems like s.nsa built cardano with 2% of their ipo funds [01:11]
ThickAsThieves such a waste! [01:12]
mircea_popescu mike_c well, there's only prototyping for one board reported yet, and moreover most of the cost is engineering time, which obviously doesn't show [01:12]
KRS1 You aren't launching an IPO in hopes to do business to reinvest investment funds. You are launching an IPO to do business according to the business plan of whatever business you are going into. BTC is irrelevant. [01:12]
mircea_popescu seems a misrepresentation of what an ipo is. [01:12]
mike_c yes, it doesn't show. but that's the point. you don't necessarily have to spend a lot to make progress. [01:12]
pankkake I don't know many businesses that end up doing what was planned at first [01:12]
kakobrekla KRS1 a bunch of companies have a bunch of people dealing nothing but with FX risks [01:13]
pankkake I mean, not exactly [01:13]
kakobrekla which are way smaller there than here. [01:13]
kakobrekla think about that. [01:13]
KRS1 I must be out of my mind for thinking logically here and believing an IPO and a business plan should work together to do exactly what they fucking say they are going to do. [01:13]
mircea_popescu you are, yes. [01:13]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.60000001 BTC [-] [01:14]
mircea_popescu you're basically proceeding into some sort of glbse/kickfunder extrapolation as if it were a thing [01:14]
* KRS1 reminds himself to go get a refund on his BBA degree. [01:14]
mircea_popescu they're marginal. [01:14]
mike_c krs1, that is simply incorrect. [01:14]
mircea_popescu da fuck was tha tthing called anyway, fundkicker, gofuckme, what. [01:14]
mike_c no investor in an early-stage company expects them to "follow the business plan" [01:14]
KRS1 kickstarter? [01:14]
mircea_popescu that [01:14]
mike_c kickstarter is a lot like btc bizness. 99:1 bullshit but there are some gems. [01:16]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 3 @ 0.2 = 0.6 BTC [+] [01:16]
mircea_popescu right, but that's more like a "daddy, gimme some dough to buy beer" sort of venue [01:16]
mircea_popescu in which case i suppose if you take the beermoney and buy pot daddy has the recourse of wtf, i gave you that twenny for beer not for pot. [01:16]
mircea_popescu an ipo is more like, i am a carpenter, give me money to carpent. the investor has no recourse as to whether the carpenter buys a hammer or a saw, [01:17]
mircea_popescu and when exactly. [01:17]
mircea_popescu in short, being an actual ceo of an actual corp which does an actual ipo, you are a professional. [01:17]
mircea_popescu being a pseudo-ceo of a pseudo-corp which does a kickstarter thing, you are a whatever, etsy service representative. [01:18]

Last night all the mods began to realize it was true….he scammed us.,..even his own admin team. I mean obviously scamming all of you is terrible, but to scam his own team is beyond a normal scammer. It is someone who is the lowest of the low, the lowest of the scammers who are already so lo [07:06]

herbijudlestoids here is the distribution of 20tick lognormal returns for last ~3 days, heavy trading last night means better sample size! http://imgur.com/J7AQWiu [08:03]
herbijudlestoids (for MPOE) [08:03]
mircea_popescu is this good ? [08:04]
kakobrekla looks like fuck you [08:04]
kakobrekla srs [08:04]
kakobrekla middlefinger. [08:04]
mircea_popescu lol kinda ya [08:04]
herbijudlestoids the simplest story the graph tells is that a gambler could bet on any 20 tick bar and more likely expect a positive return than negative one [08:04]
herbijudlestoids it also tells other stories ;) [08:05]
mircea_popescu so basically "it's going mostly up" ? [08:05]
herbijudlestoids for example, if there is a 20 tick bar with a -2% return, you should bet against it [08:05]
herbijudlestoids because its highly unlikely that the next bar will be also a -2% return bar or even a -1% return bar, etc [08:06]
herbijudlestoids this is just preliminary play info until i can get more sample size [08:06]
herbijudlestoids we are at 155 ticks total [08:06]
mircea_popescu did you truncate past -2/+2 or just never happened ? [08:06]
herbijudlestoids no i dont truncat its automatically bucketed [08:06]
herbijudlestoids so whatever tails you see are the best/worst of the distribution [08:07]
mircea_popescu a [08:07]
herbijudlestoids definitely starting to look more like the levy distributions that im used to in other stocks [08:07]
mike_c i hate technical analysis, so excuse my stupid question: wtf is a 20 tick bar? [08:07]
herbijudlestoids its a different way of plotting the data instead of price/time its price/arbitrary divisions of price [08:08]
herbijudlestoids 20 ticks == 20 trades [08:08]

mike_c so if a stock trades down for 20 ticks, you're saying buy it or sell it? [08:08]
mircea_popescu you gotta catch one of those events [08:08]
mircea_popescu (select month) [08:08]
herbijudlestoids im not really saying anything based on a 155 tick sample size [08:08]
mike_c right, but if you were [08:09]
mircea_popescu lol [08:09]
herbijudlestoids on avg? yea bet against the down [08:09]
mike_c hm. just watch out for those head & shoulder patterns, i hear they're rough. [08:09]
herbijudlestoids it doesnt have to trade down all 20 ticks, right? just a - return [08:10]
herbijudlestoids lol h&s [08:10]
herbijudlestoids this isnt really technical analysis so much as quantitative analysis [08:10]
herbijudlestoids there is a big difference [08:10]
Vexual no hypothesis? [08:10]
mircea_popescu no, we'll just insult your crackpottery regardless [08:10]
mircea_popescu listen to that, numbers and zodiacs! [08:10]
herbijudlestoids TA guy will buy and sell based on ...for example h&s pattern...QA guy will analyse exactly what a h&s pattern is, expected returns, failure rates etc [08:11]
herbijudlestoids one sec someone at door [08:11]
Vexual cops [08:11]
mircea_popescu lol. [08:11]
mircea_popescu cops, hookers or pizza. [08:11]
Vexual trifecta [08:11]
kakobrekla hooker looking like cop bringing pizza [08:12]
kakobrekla id have that. [08:12]
herbijudlestoids lemme give you example, this is TA: http://finviz.com this is QA: http://thepatternsite.com/ [08:12]
herbijudlestoids i mostly spend time on SSRN and thewholestreet.com tho [08:12]
mike_c your QA site is talking about h&s [08:13]

ozbot Bulkowski's Busted Head-and-Shoulders Bottoms [08:13]
mircea_popescu lol [08:13]
herbijudlestoids yes, but hes *tested* it over ~5000 stocks and multiple parameters etc [08:13]
mike_c If price fails to drop more than 10% below the bottom of the head-and-shoulders bottom, then it could be forming a double bus [08:13]
herbijudlestoids data going back ~30 years adjusted for bias [08:13]
mike_c *double bust [08:13]
kakobrekla lolz [08:13]
herbijudlestoids and what does it say about success rate of this pattern mike_c? [08:13]
herbijudlestoids lowwww [08:14]
mike_c ohh, so if you find patterns in a random walk, then they must be valid going forward [08:14]
herbijudlestoids wut? no... [08:14]
herbijudlestoids think of that site like mythbusters [08:14]
herbijudlestoids ...sheesh nevermind [08:14]
mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids his question is simply this : both qa and ta rely on a fundamental predictive presumption. [08:14]
mircea_popescu which is equally incorrect for both [08:14]
mircea_popescu so now, how do you insulate from that problem ? [08:15]
mike_c yeah, like i said :) [08:15]
herbijudlestoids whats the presumption? you lost me [08:15]
mircea_popescu that future data relates to past data. [08:15]
herbijudlestoids oh right :D [08:15]
mircea_popescu predictive. ie, that somehow a numeric manipulation of the past yields the future. [08:15]
herbijudlestoids mostly through the use of adaptive algorithms, for me, personally [08:15]
mircea_popescu can you see why that won't impress him ? [08:16]
* Duffer1 has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.90.1 [Firefox 26.0/20131205075310]) [08:16]
herbijudlestoids i am not interested in impressing, im interested in consistent double digit returns with low vol [08:16]
herbijudlestoids ~10-20%pa is good [08:16]
mike_c apply your quant to JD and see what you can predict [08:16]
herbijudlestoids whats JD? [08:17]
mircea_popescu just dice, a dice site. [08:17]
mircea_popescu .jd [08:17]
mircea_popescu hm what was the command ? [08:17]
herbijudlestoids is it a listed stock somewhere? or do you mean apply it to bets on the site itself? i couldnt see it in my mpex data [08:17]

mircea_popescu wow mike_c knows how the sport tout biz works. props. [15:02]
mircea_popescu incidentally, this is how idiots like keiser work, too. all the obscure web "financial experts", or bet picking experts, or so on work on the same business model : [15:03]
mircea_popescu 1. you put up a site with some content and drive a ton of traffic to it. google ads, whatever. this is your start-up cost. [15:03]
mircea_popescu 2. you gather leads for your "special picks" list, which you contact via email. this is your stable of suckers. [15:04]
mircea_popescu 3. you split them in equal halves and give one half one pick, the other your opposite. [15:04]
mircea_popescu now you have 50% of the list worth of people who think you must be on to something. [15:04]
mircea_popescu 4. you subdivide both divisions. now you have a list of people who know you fucked up twice, this you discard ; two lists of people who think you go tone out of two. these you merge ; a most valuable list of idiots who think you got 2 out of 2. [15:05]
mircea_popescu that latter list is your money maker. the merged list is where you mine for idiots. [15:05]
mircea_popescu this allows you to actually extract a profit out of the stupidity of people who are too stupid to realise just how stupid they are. [15:06]

mircea_popescu "ll the obscure web "financial experts", or bet picking experts" :) [15:06]

mircea_popescu well this article does a lot to explain his psychological drive in being so bitcoin-butthurt [16:47]
mircea_popescu anyway, the arguments he makes are mostly sound and generally banal, it just so happens they didnt work out for gold. [16:48]
mircea_popescu the reason they didn't is that gold has a negative mining return. [16:48]
mircea_popescu what i mean by this is : romania sits on a mountain of gold. it was the main source of minable gold for the roman empire, when they finally conquered dacia the local king's treasury financed 100 days of straight games with plenty left over. [16:49]
mircea_popescu the austrians mined it, transylvania still sits on a pile of untold millions of ounces. [16:49]
mircea_popescu about ten years ago a mining group formed to cut out one certain mountain, convert it to gold (and silver, palladium, tungsten, etc etc) and pay the government 20% [16:50]
mircea_popescu (of the gold only). [16:50]
mircea_popescu they;ve been trying to push this deal for the entire decade, hiring pr, doing tv shows, paying the idiots living there fiddy bux a head to go "omfg we're dying of hunger", the works. [16:50]
mircea_popescu it never worked, to date, it'll never work to date. [16:50]
mircea_popescu my objection, and i'm confident the thing that sunk the project (not for it being mine, but for it being sound) is simply this : [16:51]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2550 @ 0.00090452 = 2.3065 BTC [-] [16:51]
mircea_popescu why bother with all the digging, all the cyanide ponds, all that, just to get gold out fo the ground, move it 500 miles south west and then... dig a hole, put it there and guard it ? [16:51]
mircea_popescu just put up a sign, National Bank of Romania Gold Vault, Rosia Montana Division on that mountain and be don with it. [16:52]
mircea_popescu it's,,, just as gold, and just as burried, where it stands. [16:52]
mircea_popescu in short : a land deed on a gold field is as good as gold itself. you have a negative incentive to actually mine it. [16:52]
decimation Indeed. Gold in the ground as ore is just as good as gold in the ground as a bar. [16:52]
mircea_popescu whereas you have a positive incentive to mine bitcoin. [16:52]
mircea_popescu so the driving force isn't bitcoin's immunity to the legal tender law, [16:52]
ThickAsThieves I actually know a guy that manages contract negotiations between governments and mines [16:52]
mircea_popescu it's bitcoin's imunity to the real estate law. [16:52]
ThickAsThieves he of course paints this as vital to their nation [16:53]
mircea_popescu bitcoin is immune to human agency, which means you can't pass a law to hinder it's fungibility. [16:53]
mircea_popescu more importantly tho... there's no rational way to represent property in yet-unmined blocks. this is so obvious it escapes notice [16:53]
ThickAsThieves but when 20-yr contracts run out, his job gets trickier [16:53]
mircea_popescu yet it;s the more important factor. [16:53]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves i bet. [16:53]
decimation Right, unlike anything physical, unmined bitcoin is utterly useless [16:54]
chetty You can pass such a law, they pass unenforceable law all the time [16:54]
mircea_popescu right-o. precisely BECAUSE it is in no way physical. [16:54]

decimation Right, and all the game-theory arguments about savings is really just restating Gresham's law [16:55]
decimation except bitcoin is harder than gold [16:55]
decimation Goldenstein < Bitcoinstein [16:55]
mircea_popescu indeed. [16:56]
mircea_popescu he does get a lot of mileage in wordcount out of restating the banal, but he does so in a pleasant form and this is a good thing, [16:56]
mircea_popescu you never know which exact word combo is some guy's aha moment. [16:56]
mircea_popescu nevertheless, it's still just as much dicking about with shit we know. [16:56]
decimation I find the goldbug's (enemies of the fiatists) objections to bitcoin to be amusing, because they complain about the lack of physicality. [16:59]
decimation Whereas that's bitcoin's greatest strength, as you point out. [16:59]
mircea_popescu well in their defense, they just rooted for the correct principle their whole life, fighting valliantly for their sanity as an oppressed minority. [16:59]
mircea_popescu to have, within their lifetime, their cookie stolen by a newcomer... [16:59]
ThickAsThieves Old Republicans [17:00]
mircea_popescu imagine if after having pampered jesus for 30 years, the entire thing was suddenly taken over by baby allah. [17:00]
mircea_popescu fucking religious war. [17:00]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves pretty much. [17:00]
mircea_popescu so i can understand why a 50 something guy with a bunch of gold bars and no functioning linux distro is fucking pissed at bitcoin. [17:01]
mircea_popescu and tbh i kinda feel for him. sadly tho, they also can't be helped, because... as tat points out, "The problem here is that you have no mechanism with which to do so, and that because language is not employed for the purpose you imagine it employed." [17:01]
ThickAsThieves and why in 15 years bitcoiners will be crying over some newer thing [17:02]
Duffer1 i'd be surprised if it took 15 years [17:02]
ThickAsThieves me too [17:02]
decimation At least James Turk is smart enough to recognize a good thing when he sees it. Hopefully he will get his bitcoin exchange running at some point. [17:03]
ThickAsThieves language exists so we dont have to hit each other and grunt to communicate, just more economy at work [17:04]
ThickAsThieves probly mostly cuz female facial expressions were never well-interpreted too [17:04]
mircea_popescu possibly, tho i find female facials easier to read than males. [17:05]
mircea_popescu i suspect the reason is people tend to spend more time looking at other bits, and so lack practice. [17:05]
mircea_popescu anyway. it's not clear atm that an improvement on bitcoin is in principle possible. [17:06]
ThickAsThieves i always considered myself instinctively above average with body language [17:06]
mircea_popescu this is true of gold, too, at least up to about 2005 or so. however... it did take > 2k years with gold. [17:06]
mircea_popescu maybe 15 is short. maybe we have 250 years. [17:06]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves so does everyone else. [17:06]
ThickAsThieves yeah but me more so! [17:07]
mircea_popescu those with good reason for good reason, those without good reason for d-k reasons. [17:07]

mircea_popescu pankkake make a bitbet bet as to how many 4s you get ? [17:13]
pankkake I'm not mining anything now :( [17:13]
mircea_popescu Duffer1 people generally do not wish to live in any possible world. [17:13]
mircea_popescu they have a set of worlds they'll live in, and a set of worlds they won't. [17:13]
ThickAsThieves did Altcoin burn out your chips? [17:13]
pankkake I guess the bet could be "altcoin difficulty to be exactly X", but I don't know what could be a good number [17:14]
ThickAsThieves Altcoin gets listed on Cryptsy is a better bet [17:14]
Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, that implies something must have recently changed that is strong enough to shift the reality to the other category of worlds [17:14]
pankkake I think there are too many blocks per second and thus even my good finds get rejected [17:14]
mircea_popescu pankkake it could be "altcoin difficulty will be a power of 4 by bitcoin block X" [17:14]
ThickAsThieves How about this bet : Altcoin is the best altcoin. This bet resolves as Yes if the answer is No. [17:15]
mircea_popescu Apocalyptic it's not necessarily true. if you won't live in a world without cunt, and right this second i turn all women's crotch into angels' how long would it be before you realise i did it ? [17:15]

mircea_popescu zing. [17:25]
Apocalyptic i don't follow the scamining scene [17:25]

mircea_popescu anyway, cga stands for anomaly w/e the fuck. the guy's idea is that the block reward for solved blocks is 0 unless some extended-modulo conditions of difficulty are met. [23:15]
mircea_popescu which he intended to make simple more-power equations unreliable [23:15]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'Eurisko' was pretty good, despite the fact that the author 'turned scammer' afterward. [23:20]
mircea_popescu i dunno that one. [23:21]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: he never published the source, but i dug up a good bit of it via FOIA requests. [23:21]
mircea_popescu "You really are a fucking idiot and have no idea what you are talking about. The project I am working on will be more successful than twitter within a year. When I sell the project for 40 million dollars I will ignore any emails from you begging to be a part of it and will send you a postcard from my yaght." [23:21]
asciilifeform (Lenat was 100% usg-funded) [23:21]
mircea_popescu aha. [23:22]
mircea_popescu well it just goes to show i don't realy master that space :) [23:22]
mircea_popescu wait. [23:22]
asciilifeform me, i was never master, only an armchair archaeologiest. [23:22]
mircea_popescu is this the expert system that blew the usnavy staff outof water ? [23:23]
asciilifeform the very same. [23:23]
mircea_popescu ah! [23:23]
asciilifeform he had it play 'traveller,' a (now very ancient) space-war sim [23:23]
asciilifeform and won so thoroughly that he was banned from the tourneys [23:23]
mircea_popescu tho to be honest... it's success had more to do with bureaucratic idiocy [23:24]
mircea_popescu (kind of the reason nobody seriously believes the us has any real chance in any serious military confrontation) [23:24]
asciilifeform actually the u.s. navy lusing is more to do with the invention of the modern anti-ship rocket [23:25]
mircea_popescu it strictly won by exploiting badly written rules, neh ? [23:25]
asciilifeform (any naval battle with something other than muppet state should be expected to include such rockets) [23:25]
mircea_popescu a you meant in practice. [23:25]
mircea_popescu it wouldn't even have to go that far. just, you know... england beat spain into the dirt by using privateers. [23:26]
mircea_popescu spain at the time was roughly the us of today : immense empire run by idiots, access to all the gold in the world that did them no service etc etc. [23:26]

asciilifeform personal crackpottery: [23:27]
asciilifeform dollars to doughnuts that lenat did not write eurisko. [23:28]
asciilifeform a student or other subordinate did [23:28]
asciilifeform because the thing he did for the next 25 years was a ridiculous and worthless usg boondoggle [23:28]
mircea_popescu actually, if there's any merit in the theory of history repeating itself, we could guess that the largest bubble for the next ~3 centuries will be the result of a RoB corporation being granted the priviledge to trade one ships' worth of drugs in the us as a result of a defeatr of the us in battle. [23:28]
mircea_popescu hm... that's possible. the alternate crackpottery, of course, being that his actual work is still classified [23:29]
mircea_popescu and a student did the boondoggle. [23:29]
pizzaman1337 mpex seriously made 1`830 BTC from new accounts in Jan? insane [23:29]
mircea_popescu perhaps a very tall, slender student perfectly capable to suck a golfball through a garden hose. [23:29]
mircea_popescu pizzaman1337 you know! nobody goes "mercedes srsly sold 50 cars in 2014 ?! ?!?!" [23:29]
asciilifeform all of this quite possible. u.s. reportedly had some very spiffy logistics code in gulf war I. [23:30]
