* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:10]
mircea_popescu people with millions of dollars in backing failed at what you propose. [00:10]
deanclkclk but, what's WOT by the way? [00:11]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:11]
mircea_popescu it's not something to be started to fill an idle hour in the afternoon, like wittling. [00:11]
deanclkclk I know mircea_popescu [00:11]
mircea_popescu http://bitcoin-otc.com/trust.php this thing [00:11]
Duffer1 Web Of Trust [00:11]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:11]
deanclkclk I have a value added propition mircea_popescu nad what I'm bring is like high frequency trading [00:11]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:12]
deanclkclk buyer wants more ..seller wants less...the trading will be automated where we try to get the best price for both buyer and seller [00:12]
deanclkclk understand? [00:12]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:12]
deanclkclk and in some cases..they can get more dollars ..as in the case of the trader and more btc in the case of the buyer [00:12]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:12]
benkay nope. do not understand. i must be idiots. [00:13]
mircea_popescu do you by any chance misrepresent "hft" to mean "a simulacra of amazon's autobid function" ? [00:13]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:13]
Duffer1 you propose to allow buy/sell a price different than quoted? [00:13]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:13]
deanclkclk the buyer puts his max bid and the seller puts there minium ask price [00:14]
deanclkclk the algorithm goes through the list and find the best price for both buyer and seller Duffer1 [00:14]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:14]
benkay YOU GUYS [00:14]
benkay HE'S INVENTED THE ORDER BOOK [00:14]
Duffer1 how is that different than a regular order book [00:14]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:14]
deanclkclk so the seller might get more fiat and the buyer might get more btc [00:14]
mircea_popescu it presumably doesn't display actual values. [00:15]
deanclkclk it does [00:15]
deanclkclk it will show what actually traded [00:15]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:15]
Duffer1 dark pool, but not dark [00:15]
mircea_popescu deanclkclk you may not like to hear this, but nevertheless it's a fact : you're really not able to do this. for your own sake do it for something light, like a play crypto. [00:15]
mircea_popescu do doge/alt/ltc/we. [00:15]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:15]
deanclkclk why? [00:15]
mircea_popescu because you're too stupid. [00:15]
deanclkclk why do you suggest that? [00:15]
deanclkclk why am I stupid? [00:15]

mircea_popescu well there are many fundamental points you're unable to consider. [00:16]
deanclkclk like what? [00:16]
Duffer1 when you lose everyone's money for them it will hurt more than when you lose everyone's memecoin [00:16]
deanclkclk what's the main one? [00:16]
mircea_popescu i would imagine it's a combination of youth and whatever else. [00:16]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:16]
deanclkclk how am I loosing people's money when I said ..the objective is for folks to get more [00:16]
benkay well it's a zero sum game, homie [00:17]
deanclkclk a trade...we find the lease expensive ask and the highest bid and trade [00:17]

assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 5 @ 0.06899999 = 0.345 BTC [+] [00:17]
deanclkclk are u that fucking stupid? [00:17]
benkay so this is not an open problem [00:17]
Duffer1 you clearly don't understand enough of what's involved to be put yourself in a position of responsibility for other's money [00:17]
benkay https://openex.pw/ [00:17]
Duffer1 other's fortunes [00:17]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:17]
deanclkclk as oppose just stating random things..state in what instance I'm a "too fucking stupid" [00:18]
deanclkclk what area? [00:18]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:18]
Duffer1 ok what's your area of expertise? [00:18]
benkay deanclkclk: matching the lowest ask and highest bid is the baseline for an exchange. [00:18]
mircea_popescu deanclkclk don't take it personally. i have no particular interest in the matter. [00:18]
deanclkclk I made 2 or 3 statements and all of a sudden...I'm too fucking stupid [00:18]
benkay it is completely unspecial. [00:18]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:18]
mircea_popescu well yes. we can see what statements you make and compare. [00:18]
deanclkclk benkay: have u traded on BTC-e? [00:19]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:19]
benkay deanclkclk: why does this matter? [00:19]
deanclkclk basically I just get the quantity I ask for [00:19]
deanclkclk well I bid [00:19]
deanclkclk I don't get more [00:19]
mircea_popescu >< [00:19]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:19]
mircea_popescu why would you want to get more ? [00:19]
benkay deanclkclk: you're unfortunately trading on exchanges run by derpy web developers that don't match orders like professionals, and so you come to the conclusion that order matching is a) a hard problem and b) something you're qualified to handle. [00:20]
Duffer1 how could you get more? [00:20]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:20]
deanclkclk why wouldn't anyone want to get more BTC if the purpose of the site is to find the least ask trade [00:20]
pankkake as far as I know btc-e does things properly [00:20]
benkay furthermore, the problem you're trying to solve is not actually a problem. it's a flaw in your perceptions of trading. [00:20]
mircea_popescu deanclkclk because people generally want to get what they want to get. [00:20]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:20]
deanclkclk lol [00:20]
deanclkclk ok [00:20]
Duffer1 noooo not ok [00:20]
deanclkclk u people must be programmers [00:20]
mircea_popescu actually, no. [00:20]
Duffer1 now you're going to walk off and do it anyways, stay and talk [00:21]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:21]
mircea_popescu the only programmer here is benkay and we only keep him around cause his gf. [00:21]
benkay oi [00:21]
mircea_popescu lol [00:21]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:21]
deanclkclk people want to get what they ask for? that doesn't make any business sense [00:21]
deanclkclk people generally likes to leverage [00:21]
mircea_popescu so when i order a wire of X dollars, [00:21]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:22]
deanclkclk so I don't know what planet u people are from [00:22]
mircea_popescu the recipient should get X+k dollars ? [00:22]
deanclkclk yes [00:22]
deanclkclk that ask [00:22]
mircea_popescu well, i suppose it must be a different planet. [00:22]
deanclkclk the bid...might get more say BTC [00:22]
Duffer1 dat variety speak [00:22]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:22]
Duffer1 much learning for you young padawan [00:22]
pankkake but if you want more, just ask for more. your ask might not get fully filled, so? that was the price you wanted [00:22]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:22]
deanclkclk it's not guaranteed but, hte bare minimum they get what the actually bid and ask were [00:22]
mircea_popescu maybe there could be a coin dedicated to this concept. [00:23]
mircea_popescu each transfer yields more coins i nthe recipient address than were sent [00:23]
mircea_popescu this defo beats bernankoin [00:23]
pankkake I mean bid, lol [00:23]

* dexX7 has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:23]
deanclkclk guy..do you know how market works...prices change on the fly [00:23]
mircea_popescu pankkake he just outsmarted your BNK! [00:23]
deanclkclk and trades can happen ever second [00:23]
pankkake *BEK [00:23]
mircea_popescu o my bad [00:23]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:23]
deanclkclk so if I put this bid and the price sinks...I'm would be a happy camper [00:23]
Duffer1 a futures exchange? [00:24]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:24]
pankkake you'd have to know the future indeed [00:24]
mircea_popescu deanclkclk so you want to specify orders by the other part of the pair, basically ? [00:24]
* HeySteve has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [00:24]
mircea_popescu sells specified in dollars, buys in bitcoin for the btc/usd pair ? [00:24]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:24]
deanclkclk mircea_popescu: again..attention [00:24]
* HeySteve (HeySteve@unaffiliated/heysteve) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:24]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:25]
deanclkclk by the bare minimum...the traders would get what they ask for....X dollars for the seller and X BTC for the buyer [00:25]
deanclkclk but, there could be a case where Seller and Buyer gets more depending on the trade [00:25]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:25]
deanclkclk the purpose is to find the highest bid and the lowest ask [00:26]
pankkake you should write a proof of concept (without any actual monies involved) [00:26]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:26]
deanclkclk I'm already doing that [00:26]
mircea_popescu hence my advice to use play coins. [00:26]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:26]
pankkake well then perhaps I'll understand your proposal [00:26]
deanclkclk so for instance...I put 100 for 1 BTC and I find a ask for 95 [00:26]
mircea_popescu if your idea blows up you won't be hung out to dry. [00:26]
benkay no, you will. [00:26]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:27]
deanclkclk I save $5 dollars and I can use that 5 dollars to get an additional satososhi [00:27]
mircea_popescu ok, but not with a spiked stake in your anus [00:27]
deanclkclk it's small but it's incremental :) [00:27]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 9 @ 0.07000003 = 0.63 BTC [-] {4} [00:27]
mircea_popescu o look, btctalk is down [00:27]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:27]
pankkake it's not. they banned you? [00:27]
deanclkclk now tell me...am I stupid? [00:27]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:27]
Namworld How do you find such lower ask/higher bid so buyer/seller gets more? All bids/asks are all already there when someone place an order. [00:28]
deanclkclk I'm already using testnet folks [00:28]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:28]
pankkake if I put 100 for 1 BTC and there is an ask at 95, I'm already getting that bitcoin at 95 [00:28]

deanclkclk all exchanges? pankkake ? [00:28]
Namworld Yes [00:29]
deanclkclk so what happens with the $5 dollars [00:29]
mircea_popescu pankkake nm back up [00:29]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 5 @ 0.13199988 = 0.66 BTC [+] {3} [00:29]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:29]
Namworld You don't spend that $5 because there is a ask lower than 100 per BTC at 95. [00:29]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:29]
pankkake you end up with $5 and 1 BTC [00:29]
Namworld That's what happen. You get 5 dollar + a BTC [00:29]
deanclkclk so why not find another satoshi for the 5 bucks? [00:30]
Duffer1 or if you do a market buy, the 5$ buys from the next order inline [00:30]
* jedunnigan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:30]
deanclkclk well that's not my experience with other exchanges folks...sorry [00:30]
deanclkclk maybe I was missing something [00:30]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@ool-18ba7170.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:30]
Namworld You CAN select to buy 100 dollar of BTC. The exchange already finds the lowest asks and gets as much BTC as possible. [00:30]
Namworld You can select amount to buy/sell in dollar or in BTC already. [00:31]
Namworld You already get the best ask/bid. [00:31]
Jere_Jones market order vs limit order [00:31]

davout which was a mistake, i double checked with the "fonds de garantie des dépôts" and they only cover accounts called "comptes de dépôt", and not "comptes de paiement" [01:09]
mircea_popescu o you sneak. [01:10]
mircea_popescu what are you, french ? [01:10]
davout anyway, the main point is that the money is on accounts in the name of the holders, in a financial insitution, not on our corporate accounts, and therefore legally not ours [01:10]
mircea_popescu nevertheless do go back and add addendums wherever feasible [01:11]

deanclkclk ^ [01:20]
Apocalyptic BingoBoingo, what's weird about it ? [01:20]
ThickAsThieves dean you are making shit up in your head [01:21]
ThickAsThieves of course that happens [01:21]

ThickAsThieves when you overbid [01:21]
ThickAsThieves except you spend less $ instead [01:21]
ThickAsThieves you are trying to make some kind of reverse auction bidbook? [01:22]
deanclkclk overbid is relative [01:22]
deanclkclk how do you know you overbid [01:22]
deanclkclk ? [01:22]
* r_melee is now known as d_rebel [01:22]
ThickAsThieves if you knew you wouldnt overbid [01:22]
deanclkclk ThickAsThieves: that's not an exact science [01:22]
deanclkclk all I'm saying...with the site..there's no over bid [01:23]
pankkake I blame today's headache on you guys [01:23]
ThickAsThieves well the orders are always changing [01:23]
deanclkclk if you "overbid" ..u get more btc [01:23]
deanclkclk that's all [01:23]
* jMyles (~slashroot@cpe-24-168-33-179.hvc.res.rr.com) has joined #bitcoin-assets [01:23]

deanclkclk but, orders change a second [01:23]
ThickAsThieves sounds wonderful [01:24]
deanclkclk you sound sarcastic [01:24]
ThickAsThieves i do? [01:24]
deanclkclk well...seeing that no one here have said "wonderfule" since I've been here [01:25]
ThickAsThieves well its what you wanna hear right? [01:25]
deanclkclk well no [01:25]
ThickAsThieves oh? [01:25]
deanclkclk I want to get objective opinion [01:25]
deanclkclk rather calling me stupid [01:25]
ThickAsThieves does that opinion have to think you have a good idea? [01:25]
deanclkclk I don't know anymore [01:26]
ThickAsThieves they explained it to you [01:26]
ThickAsThieves you are scratching the surface [01:26]
pankkake the "doing it" phase usually helps you know if the idea was good or not [01:26]
pankkake and no need for real coins [01:26]
deanclkclk would testnet help? [01:27]
ThickAsThieves you dont need any coins [01:27]
ThickAsThieves its just a db [01:27]
deanclkclk ok [01:27]
benkay yeah simulate it [01:27]
benkay set it up [01:27]
benkay set up the simulations [01:27]
benkay and i'll go through the trouble of auditing your code. [01:27]
deanclkclk but, all I'm asking....do people ever work with exchanges that give you more for what you asked for? [01:27]
benkay deal? [01:27]
deanclkclk sure [01:27]
mircea_popescu benkay i thought you were busy [01:27]
deanclkclk that's a deal [01:27]
benkay he's never going to deliver. [01:28]
benkay i'm shorting his delivery. [01:28]
mircea_popescu if he is you owe me an atc. [01:28]
deanclkclk why you say that? [01:28]
ThickAsThieves a good exchange always gives you what you ask for, no? [01:28]
deanclkclk yes..that's the minimum ThickAsThieves [01:28]
benkay outta mah FACE mircea_popescu [01:28]
deanclkclk but, a better exchange gives you more [01:28]
mircea_popescu if he doesn't before you do you get 1. [01:28]
Duffer1 i don't see how you could get more for what you asked for, someone has to get less in that scenario [01:28]
deanclkclk it doesn't Duffer1 [01:29]
benkay i'm not taking this bet, mp. [01:29]
mircea_popescu lmao [01:29]
BingoBoingo Apocalyptic: I'm trying to put in a Bid for 12000 and instead getting bids for 12 [01:29]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8800 @ 0.00087145 = 7.6688 BTC [-] [01:29]
benkay how had i? [01:29]
mircea_popescu "i'm shorting his delivery." [01:29]
ThickAsThieves if i understand your idea, all it does is market buy with the rest of any money you bid, if you happened to overbid [01:29]
benkay yeah if he delivers i gotta deploy some time on a code audit [01:29]
deanclkclk if I bid $100 BTC but, I got it with 99 Duffer1 ..either the user gets back $5 dollars or they trade it for some additional BTC/Satoshis [01:29]
deanclkclk sorry I got it for 95 [01:30]
mircea_popescu so if he doesn't deliver before you do you get a free atc. [01:30]
benkay before i do what now? [01:30]
mircea_popescu deliver. [01:30]
ThickAsThieves wow ATC only doled out in singles now [01:30]
benkay oh mimisbrunnr? [01:30]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves expensive shit. [01:30]
mircea_popescu benkay whatever it is you're busy with [01:30]
benkay nigga i got an endless list of shit to process [01:30]
ThickAsThieves is he busy making coingenularity.io yet? [01:31]
mircea_popescu yes yes, tits brulee. [01:31]
benkay gotta keep the brain in tip top condition [01:31]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves apparently he's busy watching womenz in negligees wash dishes and programmers do mysql exchanges. [01:31]
deanclkclk whatever I'm explaining is making sense? [01:31]
davout Duffer1: do you remember the name of the "vault" that says its insured? [01:31]
Duffer1 let me look [01:32]
ThickAsThieves satoshisvault? [01:32]
ThickAsThieves this ? https://www.vaultofsatoshi.com/ [01:32]
ThickAsThieves fukn doge.. [01:32]
Duffer1 davout http://www.coindesk.com/worlds-first-insured-bitcoin-storage-service-launches-uk/ [01:32]
deanclkclk so I'm saying rather than get back $5 dollars and create another trade; which time is money and during that creation you might miss a chance on a great trade [01:32]
deanclkclk the site does it for you [01:32]
davout ThickAsThieves Duffer1 thanks i'll have a look [01:33]
deanclkclk well it's an option. Get back fiat or get more crypto [01:33]
benkay ThickAsThieves: he's convinced me to hack an allchain watcher together [01:33]
ThickAsThieves a what? [01:33]
benkay precisely. [01:33]
mircea_popescu omg sikrits [01:33]
benkay shh [01:34]
deanclkclk hello? anyone can let me know if this idea makes any sense? [01:34]
ThickAsThieves lol [01:34]
benkay yes [01:34]
benkay now go do it [01:34]
benkay less talk, more do. [01:34]
deanclkclk benkay: u are not bullshitting me right? [01:34]
deanclkclk lol [01:34]
ThickAsThieves it sounds more like a feature than an exhange dean [01:34]
benkay not at all [01:34]
ThickAsThieves like a tickbox by my order fields [01:34]
deanclkclk yes [01:34]
ThickAsThieves X Full Spend if Overbid? [01:35]
deanclkclk yes [01:35]
Duffer1 i don't see why you would want to dean, a person can just set their price to buy until their 100 is spent [01:35]
benkay you make an exchange, i'll audit it for you. [01:35]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11000 @ 0.0008713 = 9.5843 BTC [-] [01:35]
benkay all the audits going to say is probably something like "kinda full of holes, operationally bogus, liable to lose your coins" [01:35]
ThickAsThieves why market buy when you can pseudo market buy? [01:35]
deanclkclk if you say so benkay [01:35]
deanclkclk but, it will be in beta [01:36]
benkay deal? you stop bothering us about this until it's done, when it's done i audit your codebase. [01:36]
deanclkclk what do you mean Duffer1 ? [01:36]
ThickAsThieves i like how beta means "dont look at me if your money disappears" [01:36]
Duffer1 well what happens right now if you place a 100$ bid for btc on btc-e? [01:36]
deanclkclk no..it's fake coins [01:36]
deanclkclk well play coins [01:37]
deanclkclk just for testing [01:37]
deanclkclk then when launch..the site will provide 3 months of trading free [01:37]
Duffer1 if your bid matches a sell, the exchange executes the trade for however much the seller sold [01:37]
Duffer1 your position is still open if you have any money left and no sellers willing to meat your price [01:37]
deanclkclk hopefully ...after about 10 months. We could insure folks coins but not like 100% [01:38]
Duffer1 meet [01:38]
ThickAsThieves lol [01:38]
mircea_popescu the decision of how many months of free trade to have is a resolution of the greater issue of how to market a product, which is in turn decided and framed by greater issues. [01:38]
mircea_popescu to have fixed answers for such low level questions at this juncture merely indicates you do not have the intellectual resources to correctly model the problem you declare./ [01:38]
Apocalyptic hopefully ...after about 10 months. We could insure folks coins but not like 100% // good luck with that [01:39]

deanclkclk rather than complain..offer suggestions [01:41]
Duffer1 have you read Trilema? [01:41]
mircea_popescu i wasn't making you out. [01:41]

mircea_popescu and you are neither at liberty to judge me nor are you at liberty to make recommendation. [01:42]
mircea_popescu more importantly, you aren't at liberty to ignore the recommendations i make. re-read the log, they're there. [01:42]
mircea_popescu it's not a matter of you "not knowing everything", implying we are somehow equal. [01:42]

mircea_popescu davout is too playful to be taken srsly. [01:52]
deanclkclk want a how to* [01:52]

deanclkclk lol [01:53]
deanclkclk oh boy [01:53]
mircea_popescu i could use a how to on how to. [01:53]

Apocalyptic (don't) [01:53]
mircea_popescu WHAT! [01:53]
benkay it's like you write 'em yourself or something ;) [01:54]
mircea_popescu i am so misunderstood. nobody understands me [01:54]
mircea_popescu im going to shoot myself with the stapler gun nao [01:54]
benkay well you write for yourself, is it any surprise? [01:54]
davout deanclkclk: oh sorry, I misread, what's your idea? [01:54]
benkay jurov had to pay me to write a manual for your "exchange" [01:54]
Duffer1 ha i told stringpuller there was money there like months ago [01:55]
deanclkclk davout: basically from a trade..people get more from what they ask for [01:55]
ThickAsThieves what i hate about mpex is, whenever i overbid, i have btc left unspent, fukn noobs [01:55]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves i was in talks with some people to recharge your phone after bids if there's like stuff left over [01:55]
mircea_popescu however i think they od'd or something because i haven't heard from them in a while [01:56]
deanclkclk do you folks trade on sites or mobile apps? [01:56]
pankkake idea: when you overpay for shares, it is distributer to the seller; we would call this tipping [01:56]
ThickAsThieves mostly via SMS [01:56]
mircea_popescu whoa a TIPPING EXCHANGE [01:57]
Apocalyptic davout: basically from a trade..people get more from what they ask for // so what about it ? [01:57]

davout deanclkclk: this is not a very interesting idea, and certainly not an idea worth building an exchange around [01:59]
deanclkclk so basically you could have a case where for the original $100 for 1 BTC..I get 1.02 btc [02:00]

mircea_popescu and deposits just as soon as lemme see [02:02]
davout deanclkclk: because you reinvented market orders, except you have the currency amount you're spending locked, not the currency you're buying [02:02]
Bugpowder been waiting for a test deposit for 36 hours.... [02:02]
davout bitstamp already does it [02:02]

deanclkclk you are a trader davout ? [02:03]
mircea_popescu incredible how thick this guy is lmao [02:04]
davout goodbye deanclkclk, i'm going to play [02:04]

deanclkclk davout: it benefits the seller and buyer. I was talking from mostly from the buyer [02:04]
deanclkclk ok [02:04]
Bugpowder I like the cryptsy system of, whatever bid you place that is over market, you get filled at asks at that exact price. [02:05]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Of course. Who really wants to use their acquaintance Brian in that way at all. Everyone knows their Brian will just flag everything as a scam and tell them to STFU n00b. [02:05]
mircea_popescu clearly evil brian. [02:05]
Duffer1 cryptsy system of trading, make trade, it executes a few hours later [02:05]

asciilifeform fundamental ideas are still possible. [02:30]
mircea_popescu like for instance. [02:30]
asciilifeform i have so little faith in the meta-nsa that i'll drop one here. [02:30]
mircea_popescu can be historical [02:30]
mircea_popescu doesn't have to be curren [02:30]
mircea_popescu t [02:30]
asciilifeform 2 yrs. ago i figured out how to flex a fairly ordinary multi-conductor cable in an arbitrary spot, at an arbitrary angle, purely electrically. [02:31]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 20 @ 0.05500028 = 1.1 BTC [-] {3} [02:31]
asciilifeform this alone should be enough detail for any 'alert reader' to replicate... [02:31]
mircea_popescu and this is fundamental ? [02:32]
asciilifeform depends on your definition of fundamental. robotics without motors, gears, shafts, lubrication... [02:33]
* praeconium has quit (Quit: Leaving.) [02:33]
asciilifeform if 'fundamental' means 'discover new field of mathematics', then clearly not. [02:33]
mircea_popescu well given what you were replying to i took fundamental to mean "which was never afore thought" [02:33]
asciilifeform i did try to find some prior art, of some kind. found none. [02:34]
asciilifeform i post this turd here, to challenge the 1,000 idlers listening to us, to do so. [02:34]
asciilifeform i'd dearly love for it to be found. so i'm not stuck building the damn thing. [02:34]
asciilifeform hint: waveguide allowed to deform. [02:35]
asciilifeform as far as i could tell, the last fellow who pondered a related question was mr. t, when he coughed up the ac motor. [02:36]
mircea_popescu seems to me about half the 12-yo-boy demographic cartoons out there use this concept. [02:36]
mircea_popescu understand, my approach was cultural not technical. [02:36]
asciilifeform ? [02:36]
asciilifeform every animated robot i know of shows robotic arms with joints [02:36]
asciilifeform rather than walking coax. [02:37]
mircea_popescu i just googled "robot cartoon" [02:38]
asciilifeform (well, triax.) [02:38]
mircea_popescu the 7 images at the top include 0 articulated arms [02:38]
mircea_popescu all are some sort of tube [02:38]
* BitcoinPropagand has quit (Quit: Page closed) [02:39]
asciilifeform they still typically show at least vaguely jointed movement. [02:40]
asciilifeform though perhaps an aficionado of tentacle porn could cough up a counter-example. [02:40]
mircea_popescu now, obviously the fact that star-trek revolves around ipads does exactly nothing in a discussion of prior ipad art [02:41]
mircea_popescu but it was this rather than that angle i was pursuing. [02:41]

asciilifeform so, boolean algebra. fundamental? or, aristotle? [02:42]
asciilifeform (that is, or not, given the latter) [02:42]
mircea_popescu right. [02:43]
asciilifeform semiconductor? [02:43]
mircea_popescu the cellphone is a trivial greek trinket. they didn't know how to make it, but they did have them in their speech [02:43]
mircea_popescu semiconductor is fundamental perhaps. [02:44]
* deanclkclk has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [02:44]
asciilifeform public key crypto? [02:44]
mircea_popescu certainly the strange behaviours of quantum that manifest at a macro level, from magnetism to histerezis, would perhaps count. [02:44]
asciilifeform i tend to think of 'fundamental' in the literal sense. that is, becomes a foundation for a recognizably novel class of things [02:44]
mircea_popescu pkc definitely not. [02:44]
mircea_popescu yeah but novel in what sense. [02:44]
mircea_popescu novel as in "never made before" or novel as in "never spoken of before" ? [02:44]
asciilifeform novel in the classic sense of transforming a 'mystery' into a mere 'problem'. [02:45]
* deanclkclk (~directory@190.213.46.191) has joined #bitcoin-assets [02:45]
mircea_popescu right. but still, people spoke of the mystery back when it was not yet a problem [02:45]
mircea_popescu would you say the people trying to disprove (or for that matter prove) ZFC are or are not included ? [02:46]
asciilifeform can only be said in retrospect. [02:46]
mircea_popescu does only the speech of whoever gets the result count ? [02:46]
mircea_popescu right. which is what invalidates (from a purely philosophical pov) the approach [02:46]
Bugpowder mircea_popescu: ty... Hoping to see MPOEbot make a triumphant return soon. [02:47]
asciilifeform true. the turd i threw in is not 'fundamental invention', unless it is 10 yrs. later. [02:47]
asciilifeform (and the stepper motor and ball screw go to the junkyard) [02:48]
asciilifeform (picture, say, street swept by long spool of wire with a broom on one end and a lunchbox-sized driver on the other.) [02:49]
asciilifeform every day i wake up and wonder how many other folks are sitting on crap like this [02:50]
asciilifeform because there's no place for it. [02:50]
ThickAsThieves mircea_popescu: ty... Hoping to see MPOEbot make a triumphant return soon. /// unlikely til Gox reopens wd's [02:50]
mircea_popescu why ? [02:50]
ThickAsThieves cuz i assume bot is off cuz risk [02:51]
Bugpowder as do i [02:51]
mircea_popescu no, srsly, it actually did not get prices. [02:51]
Bugpowder shorting puts right now would be sweet [02:51]
mircea_popescu last it quoted was sometime yest. [02:51]
ThickAsThieves where do you get prices? [02:51]
Bugpowder though shorting puts yesterday would have been sweeter. [02:51]
ThickAsThieves http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/weighted_prices.json [02:52]
ThickAsThieves works for me [02:52]
mircea_popescu http://mpex.co/faq.html#25 same place. [02:52]
mircea_popescu yes but it has to answer when the bot asks [02:52]
Bugpowder ;;bc,24hprc [02:52]
gribble 463.40 [02:52]
ThickAsThieves ok [02:52]
ThickAsThieves bot asks like every 10min no? [02:53]
mircea_popescu i think there may be a cascading effect where if it misses one it asks too often and then it gets banned for an interval [02:53]
mircea_popescu but i was never able to troubleshoot it [02:53]
mircea_popescu how would it have been sweet yest anyway ? seem sthe price dropped. [02:55]
asciilifeform unrelated: neat find, from today's trip to library, for all crypto aficionados: 'Post-Quantum Cryptography.' Bernstein, Buchmann & Dahmen. (2009) [02:55]
ThickAsThieves i dont plan on buying any, i just think it's weird how this happens every "crash" [02:55]
mircea_popescu does it tho ? [02:55]
asciilifeform (anyone playing with mceliece and the like will find something delicious therein) [02:55]
ThickAsThieves at least 2 of the 3 ive seen [02:55]
ThickAsThieves i dont recall abnout the 1200 drop [02:56]
mircea_popescu yeah well in this process any data can be fit to any hypothesis. [02:56]
Apocalyptic asciilifeform, you're into crypto ? [02:56]
ThickAsThieves mpex would certainly look better to be working than not [02:56]
asciilifeform Apocalyptic: just so happens i'm into a number of things. [02:56]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves no particular requirement one can't just trade as is you know ? [02:57]
ThickAsThieves not sure what you are saying [02:57]
Apocalyptic I wrote some crypto challenges a couple of years ago, involving breaking hash functions and differential crypto, they might interest you [02:57]
mircea_popescu i am saying that mpex allows people to trade whether the bot quotes or doesn't quote, [02:58]
ThickAsThieves we're talking about the bot [02:58]
mircea_popescu and that the bot is a private offering which is in principle not required to offer anyone any convenience other than its backers. [02:58]
mircea_popescu so it can't possibly a) look good or bad b) make mpex anything. [02:58]
benkay people can't price options on their own, though mircea. that competence thing. [02:58]
ThickAsThieves to you maybe [02:58]
mircea_popescu well to logix [02:59]
ThickAsThieves why not fix it? [02:59]
benkay it's not making any money for mpex shareholders not trading! [02:59]
ThickAsThieves ^ decent argument as well [03:00]
mircea_popescu cuz it's a fucking hassle to fiddle with its feed, it being hardened ;/ [03:00]
benkay ThickAsThieves that sounds like a call for a subscription market service. [03:00]
ThickAsThieves sound slike something karpeles would say [03:00]
mircea_popescu but yeah, quoting outages are temporary, people (who don't generally trade) like to bitch/find conspiraci explanations for otherwise random events. [03:00]
mircea_popescu which you know, how much effort can i expend chasing. [03:01]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves dude wtf are you talking about srsly. what is the connection there ? [03:02]
asciilifeform a hilarious find, from the same trip: http://imgur.com/6JhjQeY [03:02]

asciilifeform but i admit i did not look very hard. [03:03]
benkay all in their bedrooms [03:03]
mircea_popescu the bot doesn't have to quote any more than you do. where's your quote on options ? [03:03]

asciilifeform turtle is the symbol of the uni. for some reason. [03:04]
mircea_popescu no but srsly. [03:04]
benkay yeah but - 'terp'? [03:04]
asciilifeform terrapin turtle [03:04]
ThickAsThieves is there any logging of mpexbot uptime? [03:04]
ThickAsThieves optionsbot [03:04]
asciilifeform about palm-sized. [03:04]
ThickAsThieves not sure what you name it [03:04]
mircea_popescu not that i know, but i suppose it's becoming more useful. [03:04]
Apocalyptic benkay, a mix between turtle and derp [03:04]
benkay all terps are henceforth confined to their quarters [03:05]
benkay ritual canings will be administered until moral improves. [03:05]
asciilifeform there is a statue on the campus, car-sized, so many of the locals think it must be a gigantic sea-turtle. [03:05]
ThickAsThieves i guess no one cares but Bugpowder anyway [03:05]
benkay morale* [03:05]
ThickAsThieves i still think it's lame [03:05]

mircea_popescu no that was because of satoshi malleability. [03:07]
asciilifeform the turtle statue traditionally gets 'offerings' during exam week. this year, more whiskey bottles and handmade bongs than ever before. [03:07]
mircea_popescu we had to check all satoshis for cubeness [03:07]

If a large order comes in and wipes out the orderbook past serveral stop losses, those sells get executed after the large order right? They don't get interwoven with the large order?

cads anyways - asciilifeform I understand that. Ie, say we have two functions F and G such that G(F(x)) = x and F(x) is in some sense independent of x. Then (F, G) is a basic kind of cryptosystem, where F is the encryption function and G is the decryption function. For us not to be able to derive F from G, G must be infeasible to invert. I believe F can be encryption with a public key (which in this case the designer will keep public), [06:22]
cads and G is decryption with the corresponding private key (which is included on the chip). It's a bit of an inversion of control of the intention of public key systems but it works for our purpose. [06:22]
cads The only detail I am not sure is about the private -> public derivability of the keys. [06:23]
cads I know bitcoin's scheme allows us to derive a public key from the private one, and that this is actually not typical. [06:24]

mircea_popescu i merely showed how that idiocy reduces to the absurd. [06:46]

mircea_popescu marketing companies do not trust view statisticsa, [06:54]
mircea_popescu they simply use that particular bezzle to defraud whoever's so inclined. [06:54]

mircea_popescu all this aside : putting "views" next to a number does not transform the number into a measure [06:55]
asciilifeform cads: pick up one of google's '$100 off' coupons and see for yourself what it is the chumps pay for [06:55]
mircea_popescu nor are you at liberty to imagine the symbol views denotes whatever definition you may happen to allocate it. [06:55]
cads right, we must trust the entity measuring the views and the method of measuring them. [06:55]
mircea_popescu first and foremost we must agree these "views" are a thing. [06:55]
mircea_popescu you can only measure that which is thing. [06:56]
cads okay [06:56]
cads so with multiple servers serving the same content it becomes a nontrivial task to syncronize the correct number, first [06:57]
mircea_popescu all this dovetails neatly, of course, into our earlier kabbalah discussion, [06:57]
mircea_popescu but i would like to add the observation that according to the 1800s crowd, patent medicine was actually useful, actually valuable and actually working. [06:57]
asciilifeform for some reason, i can't help but remember the american moneyed idiot who proclaimed that tv watchers who get up to piss during ads are committing fraud. [06:57]

mircea_popescu or you could get crud. [06:59]
asciilifeform can't resist pointing out that, at least on this side of the atlantic, 'silicone' refers exclusively to the type of rubber sold under that name [06:59]
mircea_popescu now the people who have no idea about electronics regularly buy whatever someone;s telling them to. [06:59]
cads mircea_popescu: at some level I feel you are saying that it absolutely does not matter that people spent an estimated 34 million minutes looking at this single artist's work, if only because we can't trust those estimates at all. [07:00]
mircea_popescu a sorry. [07:00]
mircea_popescu cads that is a slightly different discussion, and in no way related to "views". [07:00]

mircea_popescu and that different discussion i will appoach from the following different angle : [07:00]
mircea_popescu would you consider more important the mona lisa or an equally large, equally well made unknown painting certainly made by da vinci ? [07:01]
asciilifeform cads: even a rookie spammer can easily arrange a million 'views' of whatever. [07:01]
mircea_popescu the mona lisa people have spenbt 45804958609458609458609845045809845 minutes watching. [07:01]
mircea_popescu this unknow painting, 845. [07:01]
mircea_popescu which is the more important ? [07:01]
mircea_popescu who the fuck sits in museums with a clicker doing cezanne vs caravaggio minutemanview competition ? [07:02]
mircea_popescu why not compare movies by the gross weight of tit watching them ? [07:02]
cads in the landscape of the possible human experience time is the only scarce resource, so if in /this/ universe people have spent more time experiencing the first art work, then I am willing to say this is more "important" [07:02]
mircea_popescu the oscars this year totals films watched by 48599 tons of tit fat. [07:03]
mircea_popescu so if i were to give you one of the two, you'd pick the mona lisa ? [07:03]

cads btw who is the originator of the social construct BS? [08:29]
mircea_popescu cads saussure, probably. [08:30]
cads it's... essentially right but leads people to conclude what is merely a social construct doesn't actually exist so it should be possible in /theory/ to completely dispell that what was a construct. [08:30]
cads with another construct [08:30]
cads presumably [08:31]
mircea_popescu nah that's not it. [08:31]
cads but more often with "the truth", at least if you dig at it. [08:31]
mircea_popescu it leads people to imagine that it was "constructed", which is a pedestrian interpretation of the term of art, [08:31]
mircea_popescu and thus simultaneously casts blame, upon the politically convenient targets of ostracism (ie, actual males, actual females, anyone not fucktarded) [08:31]

mircea_popescu if anyone wants to read my poem: [11:28]
mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2014/the-letter-third/ [11:28]
ozbot The Letter Third pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. [11:28]
cazalla it's a cheap thrill, i don't really care tbh, it occurs far away from me with people of which there are very few where i reside [11:28]
mircea_popescu benkay i have no idea. [11:28]
cads so killing someone to you is a "cheap thrill" [11:29]
cads but meh, you don't really care about it [11:29]
mircea_popescu i cant believe that thing is still a topic. srsly ? [11:29]
* cads is being smarmy :) [11:29]
mircea_popescu who cares, some guy killed some guy. [11:29]
cazalla why are you so invested when 2 idiots find themselves in a situation no sensible person would, where 1 of them will die [11:30]
cads I mean ideally both idiots would be punished - one is already dead, and the other needs to get his. Not for some moral reason. Only to deter further idiots. [11:31]
cazalla why are you not up in arms about the countless nigras being shot up by other nigras, why are you so focused on zimmerman? because he is portrayed as white and it's in the media? i think that's the only reason [11:32]
cads when a black person shoots a black person he goes to jail [11:32]
mircea_popescu cads or maybe he should get a reward for punishing one idiot. [11:33]
cads these are children we're talking about. [11:33]
mircea_popescu you know a black idiot being punished for being an idiot isn't therefore being punished for being black. [11:33]
mircea_popescu apparently children can die as well as adults. [11:33]
cads better [11:33]
mircea_popescu probably even better. [11:33]
cads without leaving a trace [11:33]
cazalla teenagers aren't children [11:34]
cads legally a teenager is a child until 17 or 18 [11:35]
cazalla you're being facetious now [11:36]

mircea_popescu teenager is not defined legally afaik. [11:36]
mircea_popescu cads pasty ass white kids are children at 39. [11:36]
cads because they still think like fucking kids [11:36]
mircea_popescu kids that grow up on the streets are adults at 12. [11:36]

mircea_popescu a particular facility to being taken advantage by the government is no particular qualification of maturity. [11:37]
cads my dad works 10 hour shifts [11:38]

mircea_popescu original sean! [11:39]
cazalla it's like women who dress slutty and cry rape, you can't step into a lions cage and then complain he ate you [11:40]
mircea_popescu what if she was dressed like a slut specifically for me ? [11:40]
mircea_popescu do you now have license to help yourself too ? [11:40]
cazalla if you extend that license to me, yes [11:41]
mircea_popescu but i do not. [11:41]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 5000 @ 0.00022187 = 1.1094 BTC [-] {13} [11:41]
mircea_popescu that'd be a sight, rapist obtaining prior permission from the male owner of the slut. [11:41]
mircea_popescu "yoiur honor, this wasn't rape. i asked some guy if it's ok." [11:41]
cads add a transaction to the mix and you have a pimp [11:41]
cazalla if you grant permission but it's rape, surely you are not the owner [11:42]
mircea_popescu incidentally, i hear that's why the trezor kid got shot. [11:42]
mircea_popescu some jew guy made a pie, the black kid ate the pie [11:42]
mircea_popescu the jew went "omg wtf you ate my pie for!" [11:42]
mircea_popescu and the nigger went "dude it smelled good! if you didn't want me to eat it [11:42]
mircea_popescu you shouldn't have made it smell good." [11:43]
mircea_popescu and so the jew got angry and shot him/ [11:43]
mircea_popescu and he got acquitted because the jury found the arguments unsavory. [11:43]
cads lesson is that women just need to start shooting their rapists [11:43]
mircea_popescu cads wouldn't that be rape ? [11:43]
mircea_popescu in that you know... the guy was trying to shoot it up her ? [11:44]
* cads does remember once wondering why women can't just choose to enjoy rape [11:44]
mircea_popescu they can, and they do. [11:44]
cazalla cads are you a sjw? [11:44]
cads sjw? [11:45]
mircea_popescu they just need an environment in which they feel safe and secure. [11:45]
cazalla social justice warrior [11:45]
mircea_popescu nah he's just a math geek. [11:45]
mircea_popescu they're a little touched. [11:45]
cads I do like to harass bigots though [11:46]
cads it's my own form of bigotry [11:46]
cazalla i was just about to ask that.. why are you bigotted against bigots [11:46]
mircea_popescu you mean you're intolerant with intolerance ? [11:46]
chetty bah you guys got no clue about rape [11:46]
cazalla btw cads, i'm fine with black people i have an acquataince with, it's the ones i don't that i'm suspect of, more so than whites i don't know [11:46]
mircea_popescu lol chetty epic statement. [11:47]
mircea_popescu cazalla youj know that's exactly what xenophobia is ? [11:47]
cads you think that if a black person is walking 40 feet behind me on a sidewalk, or if a white person is walking 40 feet behind me on a sidewalk, I don't prefer to be in the latter situation? [11:47]
cads even a black person prefers that [11:47]
mircea_popescu what srslky ?!@ [11:47]
cads err [11:48]
cads wait a second [11:48]
cads I mean I prefer [11:48]
cazalla i am xenophobic [11:48]
cazalla but that doesn't bother me [11:48]
mircea_popescu i am honestly not getting you two. [11:48]
chetty rape has nothing to do with sex - you confuse the issues [11:48]
mircea_popescu it seriously makes no difference to me. wtf difference does it make ? [11:48]
cads chetty: I later realized that the women are also physically threatened and harmed/killed during rape [11:48]

cazalla or is that directed at cads [11:49]
mircea_popescu at both of you. [11:49]
mircea_popescu i noticed this before, too, us people are fucking weird. [11:50]
cazalla i don't like foreigners coming into my country and upsetting the WASP ratio [11:50]
cads we'll argue for the joy of arguing [11:50]
cazalla if i get to know them on a 1 to 1 level, that's OK [11:50]
cads we're not particularly mean to each other even when we're insulting :D [11:50]
mircea_popescu i get in a bus, i sit with the black people, white people are all giving me wtf is this ?!?! looks [11:50]
cads cazalla: right, that's how I am too [11:51]
mircea_popescu black people are all omg this guy is like dangerous. [11:51]
cazalla i'd happily chant for the random black person to be shot, shout obscentities and then invite the black neighbour over for a bbq same day [11:51]
cazalla we don't really have black people in australia anyway [11:51]
mircea_popescu you're nuts already. [11:51]
mircea_popescu the only sane conclusion is that you've paid about 100x too much attention to this race thing. [11:51]
mircea_popescu perhaps 1000x [11:51]
cazalla yeah, reading too much /pol/ lately [11:51]
cazalla + drinking [11:52]
mircea_popescu da fuck difference does it make, even if you were in fucking somalia [11:52]
mircea_popescu most dudes there are you know, boring derps. [11:52]
cazalla yes i'm sure everyone is friendly to strangers in mogadishu [11:52]
cads cazalla: the thing about that is that is that's really some fuckshit, that's like having a gay friend over for a barbeque on saturday and secretly picketing with "GOD HATES FAGS" signs in sunday [11:52]
cazalla cads: that's me [11:53]
cads who would your friend think you were if he knew? [11:53]
mircea_popescu i'd expect he appreciates the prime trollage. [11:53]
mircea_popescu wouldn't you ? [11:53]
cads if you don't really give a fuck what you fag ass friend thinks, what kind of friend can he be? [11:53]
mircea_popescu maybe scribble a Why So Srs on the back of the sign just in case you run into people you know. [11:53]
cads hahaha [11:53]
cazalla cads: because he isn't a stranger [11:53]
mircea_popescu a great friend, inasmuch as you don't give a shit what he thinks on retarded topics [11:54]
mircea_popescu it will encourage him to spend more time thinking of better stuff. [11:54]
mircea_popescu win-win [11:54]
cads what I'm saying is that how would he feel about his friend being part of a cause that is out to menace him and people like him? [11:54]
mircea_popescu menace my foot. [11:54]
cazalla cads: case in point, my wife has a gay friend + indian (immigrant) to boot! i don't like degenerate faggots or immigrants but i don't mind him coming over for dinner, holding my son etc, strange huh [11:54]
mircea_popescu god gives cancer to people he doesn't hate, too. [11:54]
cads cazalla: that's not strange, that's human [11:55]

Namworld Would be nice to have a population map too to put that in perspective. [13:02]
mircea_popescu fascinating : exactly the areas where black people live. [13:02]
Namworld That data too [13:02]
mircea_popescu cads how would you trust the negative sentiment detection ? [13:02]
cads http://users.humboldt.edu/mstephens/hate/hate_map.html# [13:02]
ozbot Hate Map [13:02]
Namworld Overlayed [13:02]
cads mircea_popescu: they paid students to manually code the statements for sentiment [13:03]
cads a little flaky but much better than automated sentiment detection, imo [13:03]
mircea_popescu fo sho [13:03]
mircea_popescu unless trolling [13:03]
cads right [13:03]
cads hopefully they blinded the kids enough to the geographic location that at least the overall shape is right [13:04]
cads mircea_popescu: actually [13:04]
cads the hate is /outside/ where blacks live [13:04]
mircea_popescu yeah it's at the north border of the space acually [13:05]
cads in little pods that correspond to high class suburbs or medium density rural [13:05]
cads and it drops off dramatically in the west, even for populated centers [13:05]
cads ie, LA has little proportion of the twitter bandwidth dedicated to "nigger" [13:06]
mircea_popescu californians lie. [13:06]
mircea_popescu your penny an hour students simple aren't sufficiently intellectually perverse to pick up on californian negative sentiment [13:07]
cads ahaah [13:07]
cads it would be hard to false positive a negative example of "nigger" :D [13:08]
cads there are a couple slurs in there like gook that are distributed in ways that seem completely arbitrary [13:09]
mircea_popescu i doubt you missed my point. [13:09]
cads I thought it was a jibe :) [13:10]
cads you're saying racist sentiment from white californians simply won't use the word 'nigger' [13:10]

cads hehe, the redneck that's been arguing against me on this one will enjoy your theory [13:12]
mircea_popescu lol [13:13]
cads maybe it's better to be surrounded by idiots that yell slurs than by smooth talking devils in suits [13:15]
cads one can take the latter group as chumps [13:15]
cads and lead them around by nose rings [13:15]
cads maybe not so for californians! [13:15]
cads err [13:15]
cads former group! [13:15]
mircea_popescu my experience with racism is that it's usually the problem of the people concerned with it. [13:15]
cads people affected by it mostly don't understand how it affects them [13:16]
mircea_popescu mno. people who spend a lot of time thinking about it end up being fucking weird. [13:16]
mircea_popescu people who couldn't care less generally aren't a problem to anyone. [13:16]
mircea_popescu i would say that your average "sensitive" idiot is about twice as noxious as your average "racist". [13:17]

chetty really? [13:21]
mircea_popescu and you got picked out for being socially awkward and sexually unconvincing, not for "culture" [13:21]

cads that's the fucking point, you're acting like people can't fucking treat socially ackward people with some fucking respect [13:28]
cads and I know that's false [13:28]
cads since people more or less treat me with respect despite my ackwardness [13:28]
mircea_popescu they can't. [13:29]
mircea_popescu the point is to help them overcome their issues. [13:29]
mircea_popescu this needs incentives. [13:29]
mircea_popescu "the beatings will continue until morale improves." [13:29]
cads I mean, a black kid in an all white classroom will be ackward. A boy with a vaganapenis will be ackward. A girl that wears a headdress is going to feel ackward. [13:31]
mircea_popescu just because people have meanwhile stopped giving a shit about you and your overall health and well being doesn't mean the people that used to care were wrong. [13:31]
cads why does it have to be an overburdening feeling though? [13:31]
mircea_popescu it's just meanwhile you live in a different sort of society, which is dispersed and disinterested. [13:31]
mircea_popescu it doesn't. it's up to them not to be. [13:32]

cads ? [13:33]
mircea_popescu no useful slave was ever lynched. [13:34]
mircea_popescu but yes, it is up to whoever to live his life, as his life is, rather than derp about how it should be. [13:34]
mircea_popescu i get it, everyone's special and dragons and the wrong gender and in the wrong time and insufficiently lottery winning. [13:35]
mircea_popescu not particularly interesting. [13:35]
cads so if someone is slandering you do you "derp about how it should be" or do you taking fucking recourse? [13:35]
cads or do you... "live your life" while your reputation is slandered? [13:36]
mircea_popescu well you may be inclined to review my record as the most slandered guy in the history of btc :) [13:36]

mircea_popescu what, we're equal nao ? [13:41]
mircea_popescu people aren't interchangeable. [13:42]
cads the part that really gets me is not that you can't imagine yourself as an average black person, weighted down with the average viral meme load and nonsense beliefs about finance and law and white people and everyone being out to get you [13:43]
mircea_popescu why am i not an average romanian weighted down with the average viral meme load and nonsense belief romanias get ? [13:44]
mircea_popescu what, you think blacks invented stupidity or soemthing ? [13:44]
cads but mostly that you think someone of your talent would get to the same place in life no matter what initial condition [13:44]
mircea_popescu this is exactly true. [13:44]
mircea_popescu the derpage about "conditions" is a very weak excuse. [13:44]
mircea_popescu i dunno who buys it, but judging by how often it needs to be repeated i would guess no one [13:44]
cads mircea_popescu: because you're not sampled from the sample space of romanians. You're sampled from the sample space of humans. You need to be concerned about the average expected outcome of humans if only because that's essential to collaborative solutions to problems. [13:46]
mircea_popescu what's the average gender of the human race ? [13:47]
mircea_popescu you're a clever guy, you know at least the basics of where statistics is meaningfully usable and where it isn't. [13:47]

mircea_popescu which is in principle an evil. [13:56]
cads and police descended on them, broke bones, femur, put them in the hospital [13:56]
mircea_popescu a revolution is when you break the bones of the police [13:57]

mircea_popescu benkay:sell everyone cardanos at 1000x markup. << i think you're the fifth guy planning to do basically that. [23:45]

mod6 are they ready to order? [23:46]
nubbins` now that's pulchritude [23:47]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: benkay: what kind of idiot would buy at 1000x? << the kind of idiot that expects service, which maximally extended is the kind of idiot who only deals with people in his wot. so basically, any serious businessman. [23:47]
mircea_popescu that's why startups have advantages in the mktplace. [23:47]
mircea_popescu mod6 not just yet. [23:47]
asciilifeform 1000x sounds a bit tall, that's all. [23:47]

asciilifeform main challenge will be assisting noobs in learning to 'tell shit from shinola.' [23:49]
* tyrion70 (~Adium@unaffiliated/tyrion70) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:49]
mircea_popescu that's exactly equal to saying cca 2009 "well if some bitcoins appear on my harddrives i'll be glad. i'm not abouit to run bs code on my computer which i need for trying to strip naked the sims" [23:49]
ThickAsThieves main challenge will be assisting noobs in learning to 'tell shit from shinola.' /// sounds like competition is needed [23:50]
ThickAsThieves maybe make two rival companies [23:50]
asciilifeform S.KGB [23:50]
nubbins` s.hit and s.hinola [23:50]
mircea_popescu benkay: [23:50]
mircea_popescu there is an awful chasm between people who want encryption and people who are willing to operate under the inconvenience of actual security. << into the permanent records of bitcoin-assets this goes. [23:50]
mircea_popescu nubbins` you have to draw that one. [23:50]
benkay mircea_popescu: did you see the part where i said "although..." trailing off while pondering the work/payoff function? [23:51]
nubbins` mircea_popescu, there comes a point where you have to turn it into an abstract [23:51]
* monkey has quit (Quit: Page closed) [23:51]
mircea_popescu benkay no. i only read the parts that i can use (twice). the rest i don't read at all :D [23:51]
benkay mircea_popescu: funny man [23:52]
mircea_popescu nubbins` ok, let's try as an abstract : there's an awful chasm etween the people who want to cum and the people who are willing to operate under the inconvenience of actually getting all that girlslime all over their cock. [23:52]
benkay the inconvenience of girlslime!? [23:52]
mircea_popescu it's abstract man. [23:52]
asciilifeform i was just gonna throw that in [23:52]
mircea_popescu whoa i beat someone at the quick typing game once. [23:52]
mircea_popescu now i can die happy. or at least content. or whatever. [23:53]
ThickAsThieves girlslime, pretty sure thatd make the politically incorrect list [23:53]
ThickAsThieves and snailtrail [23:53]
