mircea_popescu (this is useful for the fractional reserve business not exactly because it improves cash flow, which it does not, but much moire because it allwos it to "see into the future", as it were, ie to know ahead of time what financial resources it will need down the road) [00:00]

kakobrekla >>Kodrič also projected this process would “raise the bar” for other exchanges to follow suit. [00:28]
mircea_popescu so coindesk links a pdf published on bitstamp;'s website [00:28]
kakobrekla careful there, one day he wont be able to reach it. the bar i mean [00:28]
mircea_popescu i think perhaps you're unfamiliar with what an audit is ? [00:28]
dexX7 well, it would certainly be nice, if it were firestartr.co who hosted the file and even more, if it were gpg signed, that of course [00:29]
mircea_popescu right. [00:29]
mircea_popescu and ideally, if it WEREN'T firestarter.co [00:29]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 26 @ 0.0039 = 0.1014 BTC [+] [00:29]
mircea_popescu but some actual auditor with an actual track record of auditing. [00:29]
kakobrekla fuck i just found out that bitcoin does indeed pay interests [00:30]
mircea_popescu random website with a domains by proxy registration and a prepackaged css suite slapped in fails to impress. [00:30]

dexX7 Firestartr's team has been behind €6.7Bn in transactions over the last 20 years; a dozen trade sales and IPOs and started eight companies from scratch covering brands like Skype, Orchestream and Geneva. Our current community of ventures includes names like Rightster, Teleportd, Badoo, Pusher, Fanatix and UC4 Software. [00:31]
mircea_popescu who ? [00:31]
mircea_popescu "team". whio ? they have a website which consists of... "we" [00:31]
mircea_popescu badoo ?! [00:32]
mircea_popescu what the fuck parallel reality is this. [00:32]
dexX7 huh? [00:32]
mircea_popescu Badoo is a dating-focused social networking service, founded in 2006, which uses deceptive tactics to attract new users [00:32]
mircea_popescu a history of fraudulent behaviour, and random cardboard web ventures [00:32]
mircea_popescu just want you want out of an "auditor" [00:32]
* bitcoinpete (~bitcoinpe@manascmail.com) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:33]
mircea_popescu and if they list badoo, which is owned and operated by the russian... shall we not call it online fraud division, but merely refer to it as "Андрей Оганджанянц". [00:33]
mircea_popescu i would like to know why other stuff like spylog or begun aren't listed there [00:34]
mircea_popescu or w/e, mamba.ru [00:34]
* zoinky (~Adium@unaffiliated/zoinky) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:34]
dexX7 so what are you saying? do you doubt that the result of the "audit" is legit and bitstamp is running a fractional reserve? [00:34]
* mjr_ (~Thunderbi@190.105.171.186) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:34]

mircea_popescu or else it's a deceptive front for a well known group of grayhats [00:35]
mircea_popescu to put it mildly. [00:35]
mircea_popescu anyway, that aside, i appreciate the humour of jess powell signing statements, [00:36]
mircea_popescu seeing how kraken managed to fuck up deposit addresses creating a mess worth 100s of btc, that they lied about. [00:36]
mircea_popescu someone should tell cary it's a bad idea to CONTINUE signing in the company of such doofusry. [00:37]

mircea_popescu dexX7 did all that coalesce into a point for you ? [00:43]
dexX7 sure [00:44]
dexX7 + [00:44]
dexX7 inb4 ".co domain, not legit" [00:44]
dexX7 :D [00:44]
nubbins` bit of a long shot, but do any of you guys have casascius coins? [00:44]
dexX7 no :( [00:44]
nubbins` i'm trying to track down a brass 2011 series-2 [00:44]
Duffer1 i ish [00:44]
mircea_popescu dexX7 ok, let's go through it slower. [00:44]
nubbins` so fuckin hard to find [00:44]
dexX7 no [00:44]
moiety ok. i woke up. i have no idea wtf ive been thinking for the past ....months. *new leaf* [00:44]
mircea_popescu so, bitstamp is this bitcoin exchange. people have been havng their doubts about it for a while. bitstamp came up with this theory whereby it's been audited. [00:45]
nubbins` people are all hung up on 2011 "error coins" (series-1), oblivious to the fact that the series-2 2011s are so much more rare [00:45]
dexX7 i agree and i expected something such a reaction. you don't need to convince me or something [00:45]
dexX7 -something [00:45]
mircea_popescu i'd like to lay the thing out so it can be followed. [00:45]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 105 @ 0.0059034 = 0.6199 BTC [-] {7} [00:45]
dexX7 well then, why not :) [00:46]
BingoBoingo nubbins`: Is that ninjashogun restaurant guy still asking for money because some mystery man in #dogecoin left him hanging on hit 1337 hardware project [00:46]
mircea_popescu so, this purported audit is in very poor form, for a myriad of reasons, such as for instance it being published by the audited entity rather than by the auditor. [00:46]
* BingoBoingo is catching up on logs [00:46]
mircea_popescu more importantly, the purported auditor does not substantially exist. it consists of a recently registered, domain-by-proxy website, upon which some random copy has been plastered. [00:46]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.601 BTC [-] [00:46]
nubbins` BingoBoingo: yeah, you tell him that there's no way in hell and that he's wasting his time, and he tries to argue that it's worth his time and it's totally a possibility [00:47]
mircea_popescu this copy fails the form test, and more importantly makes some claims, which would seem to be false. [00:47]
mircea_popescu specifically, their claim as to be behind badoo is immediately suspect, seeing how a) badoo is not particularly a respectable venture and b) it is run by a certain group of russian folk, well known to be disreputable. [00:47]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5050 @ 0.00086353 = 4.3608 BTC [-] [00:48]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [HMF] 19 @ 0.01940161 = 0.3686 BTC [-] {3} [00:48]
moiety BingoBoingo: did he interview everyone via pm, like me? [00:48]
mircea_popescu also important, that same group of russian folk run a number of other ventures, which are inexplicably absent from the firestartr claims, [00:48]
BingoBoingo Well, when ButtStamp dies this fall, I reckon people outside the WoT will largely be outside of BTC forever. [00:48]
BingoBoingo moiety: Indeed he did it seems [00:48]
mircea_popescu whereas skype, claimed by firestartr, is obviously not theirs to claim. [00:48]
mircea_popescu these facts allow two constructions : either firestartr is simply lying, and has no relation to badoo any more than it has to skype [00:48]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 38 @ 0.0059 = 0.2242 BTC [-] {3} [00:49]
mircea_popescu basically some kid just put random names on a website [00:49]
BingoBoingo http://deadspin.com/marlins-dad-abandons-son-for-ground-rule-double-1541200832 [00:49]
mircea_popescu or else, it is in fact related, and for whatever reason the respective disreputable russian group does not wish to admit to it. so it's more like a front. [00:49]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.601 BTC [-] [00:50]
mircea_popescu these considerations sink the entire thing, either way. either way they've lied, which means they can't audit. [00:50]
mircea_popescu make sense now ? [00:50]
dexX7 yes [00:50]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 2 @ 0.601 = 1.202 BTC [-] [00:51]
nubbins` bingo, lel [00:51]
BingoBoingo Well, bitcoin. It's hard to tell Buttstamp knew what an audit was, other than having had one seemed like a good thing. [00:51]
BingoBoingo Then they forget audit is a term of art [00:51]
* B007 (~B007@unaffiliated/b007) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:51]
mircea_popescu good, cause on re-read the first verion seemed to me to be making little sense if at all. [00:51]

mircea_popescu how the hell do you imagine an admin would get to it. [02:44]
mircea_popescu but anyway, since we have been doing some auditing on bitbet : the total BTC held in currently published addresses is 1778.18326295. [02:44]
mircea_popescu the total actual exposure bitbet has to bets (ie, stuff people bet that hasn't been yet resolved) is 414.9x [02:45]
BingoBoingo MAKABEakira: What sort of TV projects do you have experience working on if you care to answer? [02:45]
mircea_popescu this means that if you bet 1350 btc or less you are guaranteedly going to be paid out (should you win) with btc that are already held from old bets. [02:45]

mircea_popescu MAKABEakira can you guarantee minimums ? [02:48]
BingoBoingo MAKABEakira: Well, honesly this got less interesting when you said game show. Honestly I was hoping you'd say drama, like The Blacklist, Almost Human, Archer, Chozen, or Hannibal [02:48]
MAKABEakira BingoBoingo, not much you can do in drama with audience interaction, which is what we specilize in. standup project in works though. [02:49]

artifexd 1meg block allows for (ideally) 5000 transactions (at 200 bytes/tx). To get 12.5 btc in fees, each transaction will have to pay .0025 btc in fees. Them thar are some hefty fees. [17:51]

San1ty-Work VanCleef: I heard some rumors that they are planning to deploy 1600 PH [17:53]
mircea_popescu currently blocks are secured through the process of mining. the hash count per block is a rough proxy for its cryptographical security. [17:53]
mircea_popescu a doubling of the block size roughly quadruples the hash needed for equal security. [17:53]
Neil These things should be chosen by the market, just like fees. I doubt we'll get blocks much bigger than 1MB for a long time to come, even if there weren't a limit now. [17:53]

mircea_popescu if there are 10k slots made just as soon as there's 10k txns looking for a slot, you'll not see any fees. [17:54]
Neil mircea_popescu: It'd be the end of bitbet with fees that high. [17:54]
mircea_popescu the idea is for this system to be self sufficient, and in this sense there must always be a rarity of txn slots in blocks with regard to txns [17:54]
mircea_popescu current;y this is not satisfied. [17:54]
Neil It'll sort itself out. [17:55]
mircea_popescu and no, it is not valid to pretend "block size should be set by the market", because of the problem known as the disaster of commons [17:55]

artifexd Making that reference harder to forge is where the security comes from. How much happens in between each reference point has no bearing on how vulnerable or reproducable each reference point is. [18:09]
artifexd Does that make sense? [18:10]
mircea_popescu we'll have to work at this. suppose your hash function is defined as the first character of the md5. [18:10]
artifexd ok [18:11]
mircea_popescu sec mining. [18:11]
artifexd If we assume that md5 is a "good" hash function, then how much data you put into it doesn't have any bearing on what you get out of it. Thus the first character remains, essentially, random regardless of whether the input is 200 bytes or 200 megabytes. [18:13]
mircea_popescu h(Women are not people.) = h(Jesus hates blacks &^ faggots) [18:13]

artifexd ok... [18:15]
mircea_popescu in other words : the larger the block is, the easier for a collision to be found [18:16]
mircea_popescu this ease is not linear. [18:16]
artifexd I don't argue with what your saying. I would instead say that this particular manner of attack would be monumentally stupid in the case of bitcoin. [18:17]

* pLambert (d8634153@gateway/web/freenode/ip.216.99.65.83) has joined #bitcoin-assets [18:18]
artifexd Because when the hash of a block is "discovered" the contents of that block are spread around the world. An attacker would have to not only find a collection of valid transactions and a sundry other pieces of data that collide with the exact same hash but also convince someone else that the replacement was the actual block. [18:19]
artifexd You are essentially looking at an attack that is by definition maximum difficulty. [18:20]
mircea_popescu but an attacker with a lot of hash power could create two such blocks and then swap them in and out to create dead txn [18:20]
mircea_popescu which is exactly why the hash power and the block size interact to create the chain cryptographical security [18:20]
mircea_popescu they just don't interact linearly. [18:20]
artifexd If the hash was one letter, sure. 256 bits? "A lot" is being conservative. [18:20]
mircea_popescu my point is that expanding the block size is not unlike shortening the hash length. [18:21]
mircea_popescu an infinite block size is worse than the "1st char of the md5" hash scheme i just proposed. [18:21]
* punkman1 has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [18:21]
artifexd However, your point that limiting the maximum length in order to limit the possible collisions is irrelevant as well because there is already a specific place for you to twiddle that will have the exact result you would want. The nonce/timestamp. [18:21]
artifexd Your point is technically true, but practically worthless. [18:22]
mircea_popescu how you reason ? [18:22]
artifexd Because you still have to find the birthday collision. Why would an attacker try to create a block 1 gigabyte long (which still has to be valid) in order to clash with a block 1 megabyte long? [18:23]
mircea_popescu (and for the record, i'm not arguing that this would be a particular venue of attack, i am merely showing how my thread length/surface metaphore is much better than your lock/lockbox metaphor) [18:23]
mircea_popescu artifexd perhaps because it's the only one that satisfies some other criteria we don't know about. [18:23]

diametric nubbins`: i mean not that i'm a fan of WU or anything, but that doesn't really mean anything. I can send coins between wallets all day long and have more transaction volume than WU. [23:53]
diametric I still think its a good thing there is such transaction volume, even if it doesn't directly translate to bitcoin being exchanged and moved between people and groups. [23:53]
