mircea_popescu nubbins`: on another note: "Pussy Riot members attacked with whips by Cossack militia in Sochi" << bwahaha [02:50]
mircea_popescu mod6 yup :D [02:50]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves this "theme of the century" bs is greatly loved by libertards, because it pretty much works like global warming. [02:52]
mircea_popescu there's very little data, and the data that is unwarrantly overrepresents what they like (ie, their own eco chambers) and fails to represent or misrepresents what actually happened. [02:52]
mircea_popescu o look, the "i didn't know i was on private" bs made it to here. [02:54]
mircea_popescu about five years ago an affiliate manager came up with the brilliant idea of doing two email blasts instead of one, because the first "had some mistakes" that "were corrected" [02:54]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 25 @ 0.00482502 = 0.1206 BTC [-] [02:54]
mircea_popescu it became fashionable because affiliate marketing is a very fashion driven industry, occupation, and so for about a year no email blast could ever be sent by anyone that was "correct". [02:55]
ThickAsThieves i never met an affiliate marketer i liked [02:56]
ThickAsThieves both web and irl types [02:57]
ThickAsThieves cue mp "That's how I got rich!" [02:57]

mircea_popescu but what do you know, they were all women. [02:58]
mircea_popescu generally the affiliate marketing guy is a combo of sleazy car salesman and otaku fatso. [02:58]

mircea_popescu cads: I think they want to see what a $1000 3d printer can do << by paying 700 for an itam ? wouldn't it be easier to just add 300 and check the printer at home ? [03:00]
ThickAsThieves surely not easier [03:00]
ThickAsThieves it's the easy that theyre paying for [03:01]
mircea_popescu i never paid 700k for a consome just to see waht a 1mn restaurant can do, i'll tell you that :D [03:01]

cads I keep wanting to get back to blogging [03:04]
mircea_popescu so then, here's your big thing : make a post introducing social justice as if it were set theory. [03:05]
ThickAsThieves WhatsApp had one investor, at $8m in 2011 [03:05]

ThickAsThieves coke and whores for the whole team! [03:05]

mircea_popescu the20year2: In a life or death situation i'm sure they don't care too much << did this guy just argue with a bunch of people about using the rifle as a club ? [03:06]

wao-ender oh here is reference http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/staunch [03:16]
moiety o aye up benkay :) how's you? [03:16]
mircea_popescu wao-ender no i mean about paul kruger [03:16]
cads mircea_popescu: I dunno, maybe I could do a situation with agents that act under various ignorance or misinformation constraints. [03:17]
cads I'm trying to think of the simplest measure of the fairness of a situation. [03:18]
mircea_popescu cads don't be bullied into it, but just consider that a) you really can't go through life like this and b) you definitely can't write the austrian thing for this reason. [03:18]
mircea_popescu sooner or later it'll have to be well resolved. [03:18]
wao-ender oh, we believes in that war with England, right? [03:18]
ThickAsThieves i think i just found a havelock bug, i sent a deposit to two different security accounts using 1 tx, it only deposited one amount [03:18]

mircea_popescu wao-ender they did it just fine for a while. but yes the boors. [03:19]
ThickAsThieves no way to exploit such thing, but annoying... [03:19]
wao-ender interesting life story [03:19]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves reverse-malleability. [03:19]
wao-ender well, but kinda it's true [03:20]

mircea_popescu i distinctly remember readinf the exchange in the mid 90s, thinking "look how retarded the mericans actually are, they believe this crap is respondent" [03:21]
moiety of course not! I've been banished from proper internetting for years! I loved his response though, fresh to me. [03:21]
moiety aw i think i find something good and it just turns out ive beenunder my rock for a while again lol [03:21]
mircea_popescu if i recall the original actually had good new england grammar [03:21]
cads hmm, so the service boasts half a billion users [03:22]
mircea_popescu cads AND VIEWS! pls do not forget the views. [03:22]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 20 @ 0.50277 = 10.0554 BTC [-] {7} [03:23]

cads .... views.... [03:23]
* cads twitches [03:23]
mircea_popescu lol [03:23]
moiety i also learned today that ABBA admitted they wore the outfits they did for tax deductions [03:24]
mircea_popescu ... abba ?! [03:24]
moiety yeah lol [03:24]
mircea_popescu just how young are you darlin' ? [03:24]
moiety 29 years, a lot younger worldly. fair? [03:25]
mircea_popescu hehe i'm just pestering you. [03:25]
mircea_popescu you see, bois are fully allowed to love mac clintock, but god forbid a woman mentions abba like she heard of it. [03:25]
mircea_popescu gotta keep the double standards. [03:25]
moiety ah i forget those, go wandering into all kinds of sentences unwittingly [03:26]
mircea_popescu diametric the other interepretation is, that as long as you price your goods in dollars you're fine, and as long as you accept someone';s offer of doobaloos for your items you're also fine, [03:27]
mircea_popescu but you're not allowed to open a shop on 5th avenue which lists all prices in bitcoin and doesn't take usd, [03:27]
mircea_popescu nor are you allowed to pull the "this is just as good as usd" liberty dollar scam. [03:27]
* Monkey (5ce55143@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.229.81.67) has joined #bitcoin-assets [03:28]
mircea_popescu the way to skirt this, for fun and profit, is obviously to open the 5th avenue shop with prices prominently displayed in bitcoin and a tiny print usd value underneath, like "We also take this shit if you absolutely must" [03:29]
mircea_popescu which will likely get you sued and congress pass a law saying dollars have to be just as big as anything else on the tag!!1 [03:29]
cads Hey guys, are you familiar with the multi-armed bandit problem? [03:29]
moiety lolol [03:29]
mircea_popescu cads yes [03:29]
moiety i thought most bandits had multiple arms [03:30]
* mius_ is now known as mius [03:30]

moiety please say its online somewhere ThickAsThieves ! [03:30]
ThickAsThieves nope [03:30]
ThickAsThieves sorry [03:30]
moiety aww [03:30]
mircea_popescu moiety it's a formulation of the explore/exploit dilemma [03:31]
cads moiety: A one armed bandit is a slot machine, while the multi-armed bandit problem considers the best play in a situation with multiple slot machines with uncertain odds. [03:31]
mircea_popescu like suppose you're naked outdoors circa 4500 bc, and very hungry. [03:31]
mircea_popescu you find a bush with berries. [03:31]
mircea_popescu how long do you spend grazing and when do you leave looking for more bushes ? [03:31]
moiety when you have collected them all from the first [03:31]
mircea_popescu yes well, it gets more complicated than that. [03:32]
moiety ik sorry i couldnt resist [03:32]
* Monkey has quit (Client Quit) [03:32]
mircea_popescu god forbid someone marries you. [03:32]

* draino has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [03:34]
moiety the actual pole spins itself doesn't it, its not as difficult as it looks [03:34]
* dexX7 has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [03:34]
mircea_popescu it can be about as difficult or easy as you want to make it for yourself. [03:34]
benkay i think not. strippers can't handle rotational inertia. [03:34]
mircea_popescu benkay they actually have both versions. [03:34]
benkay o of course [03:35]
benkay but you know [03:35]
benkay somewhere there's a cutoff. [03:35]
benkay 5% [03:35]
benkay ? [03:35]
benkay 25? [03:35]
benkay 2%?* [03:35]
mircea_popescu the problem with fixed poles is that girls want to lube it up [03:35]
benkay matter of taste. [03:35]
mircea_popescu which then gets kind-of disgusting [03:35]
* draino (~quassel@66-189-97-121.dhcp.oxfr.ma.charter.com) has joined #bitcoin-assets [03:35]
benkay which is why they wipe it down with solvent between performances, non? [03:36]
mircea_popescu someplaces. [03:36]
mircea_popescu the problem with that is the solvent isn't so kind on the sensitive skin of the thigs [03:36]
benkay so let it evaporate [03:36]

assbot [HAVELOCK] [COG] 2 @ 0.07495 = 0.1499 BTC [+] {2} [03:49]
mircea_popescu basically the appeal of civ was exactly this [03:49]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: contest inspired by Axelrod's prisoner's dilemma tournament [03:49]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you know this inspires me ? one could formalise the problem with strings. [03:50]
asciilifeform they sorta did. [03:50]
moiety thats just along the road from me! [03:50]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform hear me out : [03:50]
mircea_popescu you define actual words in the dictionary as "good stuff", and each player gets a selection of poems to complete. words themselves are worth points, filled lines are worth more points, filled poems even more. [03:51]
mircea_popescu then you give everyone strings, and they can read one char at a time [03:51]
mircea_popescu for a cost. or skip the string, for a larger cost. [03:51]
BingoBoingo I just caution against the spring anchored portable poles unless you like driving drunk girls to the ER at odd hours of the morning because they flew into a wall. [03:51]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo nttawwt. [03:52]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform obviously player can only eat a word if the whole word has been read. [03:52]
* moneycat has quit (Quit: ["Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com"]) [03:52]
asciilifeform this sound like fun, but the contest was a robot-writing one [03:53]
asciilifeform rather than between players directly [03:53]
asciilifeform the final reports are worth reading [03:53]
mircea_popescu yes yes [03:53]
mircea_popescu you have to write the scripts for this. [03:54]

mircea_popescu i was just describing what your bot is supposed to do. [03:54]
mircea_popescu well not your your. one's. [03:54]
asciilifeform what's the goal? to reproduce the poem before the other players? [03:54]
mircea_popescu get most moneyz [03:54]
mircea_popescu the key here, of course, being that the strings are not all created equal [03:55]
asciilifeform 'read one character at a time' << from another player's slate? [03:55]
mircea_popescu each string has its own per-character entropy, from epsilon to 8-epsilon [03:55]
mircea_popescu no, the string is in the middle. [03:55]
mircea_popescu "all players get copies of the same strings" say. [03:56]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: might want to describe this for the simple (i.e. mathematically) [03:56]
mircea_popescu that'll be hard ;/ [03:56]
mircea_popescu ok but let me try. [03:56]
mircea_popescu the game board consists of an endless set of strings, which all start as natural language constructs and are "decayed" by bit flipping by an actual rng. [03:57]
mircea_popescu once the decay is complete the game board is ready. [03:57]
mircea_popescu any number of players can play. [03:57]
mircea_popescu each player gets the same copy of the same list of strings. at any point each player has the choice of either reading one more character from their current string or advance ot the next string. [03:58]
mircea_popescu each player has a pre-given "Table" consisting of a number of natural language poems. these are actual literature. [03:58]
* B007 (~nick@wirelessgate.sbcc.edu) has joined #bitcoin-assets [03:59]
mircea_popescu whenever a player has read a natural language word (ie, from the dictionary) out of the string (exact match, no mixing of letters or anything scrabble-ish) he now has that word. [03:59]
mircea_popescu the word on itself is worth something. if the word is actually part of one of the player's poems on their table, it's worth more. [03:59]
mircea_popescu if the player completes a line or a poem, more bonuses. [03:59]
asciilifeform sounds like a variation on 'Erudit' [03:59]
mircea_popescu he wins with the highest score once all players have read all strings. [03:59]
mircea_popescu does it ? [04:00]
mircea_popescu cause that's what i was wanting, to see if this is original or i'm just ineptly stumbling on well known (to everyone else) history. [04:00]
asciilifeform and it's not clear, from this description, that the ideal strategy is any kind of problem [04:00]
asciilifeform s/erudit/scrabble [04:01]
mircea_popescu why is that ? [04:01]
asciilifeform well, consider a bot. he can contain whatever, so he has an embedded dictionary (for the natural language of the poems) [04:02]
* ozbot (~ozbot@unaffiliated/jezzz/bot/ozcoin) has joined #bitcoin-assets [04:02]
asciilifeform or, failing that, simply the set of necessary words (all words from his poem slate) [04:02]
mircea_popescu no problem. so ? [04:02]
* dexX7 (~dexX7@unaffiliated/dexx7) has joined #bitcoin-assets [04:03]
mircea_popescu it is a given the bot would contain the dictionaries, sure. [04:03]
asciilifeform if the current buffer at any time does not match the beginning of any useful word, switch. [04:03]
mircea_popescu uh. [04:03]
mircea_popescu so you switch on character 1 of all strings ? [04:03]
asciilifeform unless i'm missing something [04:03]
asciilifeform not all, but once 'x' becomes 'xy' and there is no 'xylophone' in the table... [04:03]
mircea_popescu seems to me a better strategy may be to stick with a not-so-entropic string [04:03]
mircea_popescu than to switch and perhaps get a very entropic string. [04:04]
asciilifeform illustrate? [04:04]
mircea_popescu even if the xy atm has no xylophone. [04:04]
mircea_popescu ok. string one : xygfredfoxjumpedoverstan [04:04]
mircea_popescu string two acadafabadabababbadaafa [04:04]
asciilifeform from whence do the strings come? [04:05]
mircea_popescu they all start as natural language constructs [04:05]
mircea_popescu and are fuzzed to different (and unknown to players) degrees [04:05]
mircea_popescu some are very badly fuzzed. some very slightly. some in between [04:05]
asciilifeform random selections from dictionary, then permuted a character at a time before start? [04:05]
asciilifeform and with varying degrees of noise? [04:06]
mircea_popescu random selections from the poems given out, [04:06]
mircea_popescu and then noised. [04:06]
mircea_popescu basically the player becomes an exercise to measure the fuzzer parameters [04:06]
mircea_popescu in a half-blind fashion. [04:06]
asciilifeform but noised to differing degrees, deliberately? [04:06]
mircea_popescu yeah. [04:06]
asciilifeform then strategy is clear, measure the noise. [04:06]

mircea_popescu that in principle is clear, but it helps as much as "capture enemy pieces" helps in chess [04:07]
mircea_popescu i suspect. [04:07]
asciilifeform certainly. [04:07]
mircea_popescu because measuring the noise has a cost in itself. [04:07]

mircea_popescu when do you measure the noise ? [04:08]
mircea_popescu xy is noisier than ac [04:08]
mircea_popescu sampling problems. [04:08]
mircea_popescu xyg way noisier than aca [04:08]
asciilifeform noise being 'frequency of substrings that contain no valid words,' perhaps. [04:09]

asciilifeform because you can perform modular arithmetic using rotation [04:21]

mircea_popescu Bugpowder o hey so it has a name and everything ? [06:24]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform check it out [06:25]
Bugpowder Well, it's not exactly the same game but similar enough [06:25]
Bugpowder You use degenerate PCR primers to evolve and screen fluorescent protein genes [06:25]
mircea_popescu shorter alphabet basicall ? [06:25]
Bugpowder trying to find an new one that matches [06:25]
Bugpowder well... 4 characters [06:25]
mircea_popescu shorter alphabet / longer verses. [06:25]
Bugpowder but you mutate base on the codons [06:26]
* punkman1 has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) [06:26]
Bugpowder so 3^3 'letters' [06:26]
mircea_popescu interesting [06:26]
Bugpowder since you need 3 to actually code an amino acid. [06:26]
* punkman (~punkman@unaffiliated/punkman) has joined #bitcoin-assets [06:26]
mircea_popescu but isn't it 3^4 then ? [06:26]
Bugpowder uhhh [06:27]
Bugpowder 4^3 [06:27]
Bugpowder yeah [06:27]
mircea_popescu right [06:27]
Bugpowder though some represent the same letter [06:27]
Bugpowder http://dps.plants.ox.ac.uk/langdalelab/protocols/PCR/degenerate_primer.pdf [06:27]
Bugpowder So you can specify ATGC [06:27]
mircea_popescu well cool! [06:27]
Bugpowder OR you can specify a blend of two, three or all four randomly assorted at that position [06:28]
Bugpowder Say you want to evolve a fluorescent protein to glow a different color [06:28]
Bugpowder you suspect that a few amino acids near the core chromophore will influence the color [06:28]
Bugpowder So you do a PCR reaction (make billions of copies of the DNA), but use primers that have these selective random patches at the points in the sequence you want to sample the variation space in [06:29]
moiety thats ace [06:30]
moiety why are oxford uni using comic sans [06:30]
Bugpowder your new gene sequence now has randomizations at those spots, as specified by your primer blend [06:30]
mircea_popescu right. [06:30]
Bugpowder then you mix the genes into a bunch of bacteria, and dilute the solution really far down, then spread it over many agar plates [06:31]
Bugpowder each bacteria that got one of the mutant genes in it will grow an independent colony [06:31]
Bugpowder hundreds or thousands on a plate [06:32]
Bugpowder and you can put them under a fluorescent light to see if you A) fucked the protein up or B) changed its color slightly. Take your best hits, sequence the gene to see what you've got, then repeat the process. [06:32]
Bugpowder This is how one gene, GFP, the green fluorescent protein [06:33]
Bugpowder Turned into many colors. [06:33]
Bugpowder Here is a painting of various color fluoresncet bacteria on a plate... created by this game... [06:34]
Bugpowder http://tsienlab.ucsd.edu/HTML/Images/IMAGE%20-%20PLATE%20-%20Beach.jpg [06:34]
Bugpowder Most mutations kill the fluorescence (they don't match literate word, as a metaphor) [06:34]

* punkman has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [06:35]
Bugpowder but a few work... Just need to find them.. by flipping 2-3 letters at a time [06:35]
Bugpowder Alternatively you can use error-prone PCR, which makes random mutations everywhere [06:35]
Bugpowder instead of targeted [06:36]
mircea_popescu ok that's pretty cool [06:36]
Bugpowder OR you can insert the gene into the hyper somatic recombination region of B cells (this is how antibody diversity is generated in your own immune system), and then let the B cells mutate the protein for you [06:37]
mircea_popescu Bugpowder did you obtain the painting by smear selected bacteria or by smearing uniform bacteria with particular mutagen ? [06:37]
Bugpowder Then you just sort millions of cells over and over again till you enrich the color you want. [06:37]
Bugpowder mircea_popescu: That was made by the former [06:37]
mircea_popescu aha [06:37]
Bugpowder different colors has already been evolved [06:38]
mircea_popescu i can't help but think you're pretty close to biofilm 3d printing. [06:38]
Bugpowder Then a friend made a pallete of different color bacteria and painted the plate with a dilute solution of them. Waited 48 hours and that was the impressive result [06:38]

Chris_Sabian look the last 2 steep rises, april and nov-dec. the price shot up then peaked and dropped to ~1/2 value [06:53]
Chris_Sabian it stayed that way for several months [06:53]

mircea_popescu so is atc. [06:58]
greenspan_fan there's a few things like mathematical breakthroughs re: hash functions or serious bugs in the client that could tank the price [06:59]
mircea_popescu definitely. [06:59]

greenspan_fan OK, so the contention is that things that are faster to process (such as cash or credit) are expected to allow for retail level/immediate transaction, while btc is more of a long term store of value, right? [07:15]
* jedunnigan (~jedunniga@de1x.mullvad.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [07:15]
mircea_popescu well, more of a long term slower moving thing yeah [07:16]
mircea_popescu let's do some napkin calculations here. [07:16]
greenspan_fan brb, all I have is paper [07:17]
mircea_popescu built-in ccp delay on a payment, ~1 second. built in btc delay on a payment, ~10 minutes. [07:17]
mircea_popescu tolerable ccp service outage, ~one day, from experience so far. [07:17]
mircea_popescu thus therefore, tolerable btc outage should be something like 2 years. [07:17]
greenspan_fan absent some other similar currency overtaking it due to the delay [07:18]
mircea_popescu obviously presuming liniarty and so on and so forth, but just for the sake of it. [07:18]
greenspan_fan which is the case for the short term [07:18]
mircea_popescu greenspan_fan well presumably whatever suspends btc suspends all btc-likes [07:18]
mircea_popescu otherwise btc is just borkt and needs fixing [07:18]
asciilifeform time to digest a meal: ~6 hours. does that mean that one should be able to go without meal for ~72 yrs? [07:19]
benkay not that this actually prevents anyone from exchanging btc, provided they're sufficiently trusty [07:19]
benkay "here - take this pre-signed transaction" [07:19]
mircea_popescu benkay actually, no trust needed. [07:19]
benkay now, you're dependent on the technical ability of your counterparty to track and not double-spend. [07:19]
mircea_popescu "here, take this pre-signed tx, put it in your block" [07:19]
* random_cat has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [07:19]
* darkee_ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [07:19]
mircea_popescu i mean, we can do blockchain propagation and mining via email ffs. [07:20]
mircea_popescu this was actually tested back in the old days of mpoe, works just fine. [07:20]
benkay well what does it mean for bitcoin to be stopped!? [07:20]
mircea_popescu ikr? [07:20]
* darkee_ (~darkee@gateway/tor-sasl/darkee) has joined #bitcoin-assets [07:20]
asciilifeform is there a scenario with 'paper & pencil btc' that does not reduce to simply 'Hawala' ? [07:21]
* random_cat (~random_ca@gateway/tor-sasl/randomcat/x-49498005) has joined #bitcoin-assets [07:21]
benkay i'm going back to figuring out how to represent a 32-bit int in ragel on java. [07:21]
* [\\\\\\\] is now known as [\] [07:21]
mircea_popescu fucking java. [07:21]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform if one takes a conceptual hawala rather than any particular historical implementation, no. [07:21]
benkay you can say that again. [07:21]
benkay "stench of the cube farm" [07:21]
mircea_popescu course this is more of a case of hawala reduces to bitcoin [07:21]
greenspan_fan Well, given the above, I expect that btc is just a placeholder for something that will have numerous quantitative technical improvements. [07:22]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform> time to digest a meal: ~6 hours. does that mean that one should be able to go without meal for ~72 yrs << yes, if they were a payment processor. [07:22]
mircea_popescu greenspan_fan so did satoshi. [07:23]
mircea_popescu reality does not care what we expect, turns out. [07:23]
benkay i expect a new whore at the door [07:23]
greenspan_fan how does one calculate EV in whores? [07:23]
asciilifeform to go back to the 'peasant never saw a gold coin' scenario. a peasant, correct. how about a shipyard? [07:23]
mircea_popescu greenspan_fan not clear, but er is the clap. [07:24]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform go on ? [07:24]
asciilifeform idea being, gold was never purely a long-term store [07:24]
greenspan_fan at some point, you need to be able to exchange for things to have value [07:25]
benkay but the "you" here can vary, and does not include pizzas [07:25]
asciilifeform one can picture a degenerate case - e.g. hydrogen bomb [07:25]
benkay more like "o now i have credit for a billion pizzas at this local bitcoin brokerage" [07:26]
greenspan_fan wouldn't the degenerate case be a strangelet? [07:26]
asciilifeform in the sense of the ultimate 'trading sardine' [07:27]
asciilifeform (strongly negative 'use value') [07:27]
* twizt has quit (Quit: Page closed) [07:27]
asciilifeform trying to think of items which act as store of value in some useful sense without really being spendable [07:28]
asciilifeform and whether the phrase 'store of value' even makes sense here. [07:29]
greenspan_fan perhaps things that would fall under the category of intellectual property? [07:29]
benkay it's arguably only contextual in a world in which nobody can really ant their hard work away. [07:30]
greenspan_fan I can't spend "knowing how to make an engine", but knowing that I can do that (and having the plans/information to do so) stores value [07:30]
benkay or rather it's astronomically difficult to do so. [07:30]
asciilifeform we can talk about 'storing energy' and come to rational conclusions about physically-real things (e.g. organisms.) and then we can talk about storing 'value', and end up with pseudo-scientific strange... [07:31]
mircea_popescu greenspan_fan this seems to me a completely unwarranted generalisation that actrually breaks logic. [07:31]
mircea_popescu no, it does not "store value" any more than "empathy" as used by the libertard is either human or virtuous. [07:32]
asciilifeform 'value' is phlogiston. [07:32]
greenspan_fan mircea_popescu you're right, it does seem to beg the question... [07:32]
greenspan_fan trying to define why something is valuable is hard enough without also restricting the ability to spend it [07:33]
mircea_popescu not that there's anything wrong with trying anything and everything on the beast. [07:33]
mircea_popescu roughly we're in the situation of "dragon moved in hillside next to village" [07:33]
mircea_popescu threowing a virgin that way once or twice is sensible. [07:33]
asciilifeform to complete the picture, 'dragon' turns out to be a peculiarly-shaped active volcano. [07:34]
mircea_popescu no it's a dragon [07:35]
mircea_popescu you're just looking at its zit. [07:35]
asciilifeform precisely that. [07:35]
mircea_popescu idea being, gold was never purely a long-term store <<< this will need fleshing out. [07:36]
mircea_popescu seems to me it was purely a long term store. [07:36]
mircea_popescu people short-term stored in silver. [07:36]
* nullp has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…) [07:37]
chetty storing value is actually a bet isn't it? That there will be a future to use it in. [07:38]
mircea_popescu that's no sort of bet. [07:38]
mircea_popescu if there's no future you've not lost anything. [07:38]
greenspan_fan opportunity cost, assuming you could store elsewhere, which you can [07:39]
chetty yeah you have, the use today of whatever you stored [07:39]
greenspan_fan btc will continue to be valuable because it has previously been valuable and there's the expectation that, over some acceptable time period, you can exchange it [07:40]
greenspan_fan the uncertainty comes from the second part, because it's a new protocol and it's difficult to predict what might impact your ability to exchange it [07:41]
greenspan_fan the things I'm thinking of are either flaws in the protocol, flaws in the software, concerted regulation or an attack via a sufficiently powerful adversary [07:42]
asciilifeform the common factor between btc and gold, etc. is (no surprise to anyone, i hope) - behaviour as a closed (i.e. conserved) system, and easily verified as such [07:43]

asciilifeform BingoBoingo: can you quickly say, what is the largest number of legal moves possible for one chess player, in any position? [07:59]
BingoBoingo I cannot. [08:00]
asciilifeform (i can easily estimate an upper bound, using 'ah he has 16 queens') [08:00]
* tyrion70 has quit (Client Quit) [08:00]
asciilifeform idly wondering about a 'provably fair' blockchain chess-for-coin [08:00]
asciilifeform as i fall asleep [08:01]
BingoBoingo Sure, but tightening that upper bound gets messy. Even 16 queens block each other, restricting movement. [08:01]
asciilifeform sure [08:01]
asciilifeform my 1st thought was 'referee has canonical enumerator for legal moves. player moves by encoding integer M' [08:02]
asciilifeform 'first player who cannot M > 0 lost' [08:03]
asciilifeform but then, repeated-move stalemates [08:03]
asciilifeform and the like [08:03]
BingoBoingo That could work. [08:04]

mircea_popescu greenspan_fan http://trilema.com/category/smg/ [08:04]
asciilifeform if the bip-whatever voodoo mentioned earlier actually gets baked into the blockchain, one could conceivably play this game [08:04]
asciilifeform without a referee [08:05]
BingoBoingo Then there's the part where M=0 stalemates exist. [08:05]
asciilifeform (the pot would automagically move to the winner) [08:05]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform no because each game could only be played once ? [08:06]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: moves would be carried out by sending to an addr generated for the purpose [08:06]
mircea_popescu uh [08:06]
asciilifeform low bits of sum <-> move [08:06]
asciilifeform winner keeps the total [08:07]
asciilifeform of course, this is foolish, because we've the angels but not the pin-head. [08:07]
asciilifeform unless i'm missing something. [08:07]
BingoBoingo Well, it would require all four low digits. [08:10]
* greenspan_fan has quit (Quit: Page closed) [08:10]
asciilifeform sure, for a low stake game, the moves are the pot. [08:10]
asciilifeform you could play this right now, sans voodoo, and it would look quite like the 'provably fair' dice widgets [08:11]
asciilifeform (someone is driving the payouts, but you can trivially verify, having only the blockchain, that he never did anything other than the Right Thing) [08:12]

greenspan_fan I wonder if the opining actually shapes matters, like, at all? [09:38]
greenspan_fan because the self-perception of influence is part of the compensation [09:38]

greenspan_fan I think you underestimate how easy a content aggregator is to run [09:39]
greenspan_fan if all your "employees" work for free, then everything else is profit [09:39]
mircea_popescu greenspan_fan the self-perception of importance is pretty much the whole of the compensation. [09:39]
mircea_popescu the influence however, is exactly zero. [09:40]

BingoBoingo Things like gox fucking with order matching though need to be considered in these bets. Anticipating SatoshiDice would probably not be listed on MPEx for the full length of 2013 make pushed me to put a whole BTC on S.BBet being worth more back in February. [11:17]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Well, you have been seasoned as a strategic consultant. [11:18]
BingoBoingo Thinking decades instead of hours. [11:18]
BingoBoingo Whatsapp is too Myspace to have value. WhatsApp embraces customers too poor for actual tools. [11:20]
BingoBoingo Kinda like Microsoft. [11:20]
BingoBoingo DE however, when fiat fails has a lot of copper and fiber. [11:22]
B007 Microsoft? I don't think you know what you're talking about [11:22]
BingoBoingo B007: How little do consumers have to pay for WIndows? [11:23]
B007 So? Microsoft sells to corporations [11:23]
BingoBoingo Generally Windows is bundled with a consumer machine and consumers accept that to not learn better things. [11:23]
B007 true [11:24]
BingoBoingo The entire microsoft ecosystem from Basic in the 70's to nao is that doing better things is more expensive in terms of time to learn the right ways. [11:24]
B007 but I don't think you can compare Microsoft to WhatsApp [11:25]
BingoBoingo Now that WIndows is so entrenched with lusers over decades, they have been able to force a sorporate ecosystem, because learning is bad Mkay. [11:25]
BingoBoingo B007: What is the problematic point? [11:25]
BingoBoingo This fake messaging network business whatsapp is in isn't too different from the fake software development tools business Microsoft started with [11:26]
B007 Microsoft is vastly different from a messageing app [11:27]

davout i don't have time to work on it right now, but that's something i'll have to fix [13:25]
mircea_popescu davout that seems exactly countrary to marketmaking. [13:25]
ThickAsThieves marketcockteasing [13:26]
davout mircea_popescu: isn't that more arbitrage? [13:26]
mircea_popescu well no, marketmaker means exactly you blow out the book on a regular basis if it doesn't conform. [13:26]
davout the basic reason to this iirc is that executions that are immediate don't appear in stats [13:26]
mircea_popescu not placing orders thatd result in executions is exactly anti-mm behaviour [13:27]
mircea_popescu basically the book is ruling you. [13:27]
mircea_popescu you're supposed to rule the book [13:27]
davout not arguing that, i need some more work to work around the mpex api weirdnesses [13:28]
davout also, given the current market conditions i'm pretty ok with widening the spread anyway [13:29]
davout or i guess, instead of tracking order by order i can track aggregates [13:30]

ozbot Strategii in lupta antisociala pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. [17:28]
mircea_popescu Strategia corecta, in sensul ca perfecta, este sa mergi si sa jefuiesti banca. Daca nu apare politia, foarte bine, mergi in treaba ta. Daca insa apare politia, macelaresti civilii. Si anume, pe toti. Fara ezitari, fara mila, cu toata atentia pentru optimizarea carnajului in sensul extensiunii. Doua-trei sute de persoane minim, intr-o zona cit de cit centrala (ca doara nu jefuiesti banci la periferie acuma). [17:28]
mircea_popescu Sigur, dupa aia cel mai probabil vei muri. Ei, si ? Conteaza mai putin asta, daca te gindesti ca a) de murit oricum mori si respectiv b) odata ce politistii stiu ca daca vin vor muri sute de civili iar daca stau acasa nu va muri nimeni ei nu mai au de fapt o alegere la dispozitie. Pur si simplu, nu le va da nimeni voie sa se apropie de locul jafului, ca trei sute de morti ori doua milioane bucata pe asigurari vine juma [17:28]
mircea_popescu ’ de miliard, iara tu nu poti fura mai mult de citeva milioane in cash, dat fiind ca n-ai cum ii duce. De fapt exact asa s-a ajuns si la regula ca-ti da bancherul oriciti bani si te lasa sa pleci, singura victorie a oamenilor antisociali in raport cu societatea din istoria moderna. [17:28]
Mats_cd03 what was that about pastebin [17:29]
mircea_popescu the correct strategy, which is to say the perfect strategy, is to go rob a bank. if no police shows up, good. if they do, butcher the civillians. which is to say, all ofthem. no mercy, no hesitation, optimize the carnage as to extension. [17:29]
mircea_popescu of course, you will likely die for it. so what ? hardly worth the menton this, if you think that a) you'll die anyway and b) once the police admin knows that sending the police means hundreds dead or wounded and if not sending the police means nothing they no longer have a choice. [17:30]
mircea_popescu pure and simple, they won't be even allowed to come near a place where someone's robbing a bank. because 300 hit at 3mn a piece is a billion, and nobody can afford to waste a billion to cover for whatever coupla million in bills you can possibly carry. [17:31]
mircea_popescu that's basically the principle there, works in all confrontations exactly the same. [17:31]
BingoBoingo Oh, robbing banks, the only way to do it wrong has to be carrying a sadwich, taking the money and walking briskly. [17:32]
mircea_popescu simple matter of cost optimisation, the well known weakness of the weak. [17:32]

mircea_popescu dignork maybe trivially doesn't mean what you think it means. [21:27]

asciilifeform what part of s/bitbetaddr/magicaddr is difficult to understand [21:32]
nubbins` suppose person X's traffic is being sniffed. person X sets up a private bitbet, with input address A and payout address B. sniffer observes this. sniffer now knows that person X controls address B. [21:32]

mircea_popescu so you ask for an address to bet, and insert an address to receive. [21:37]
mircea_popescu this now creates an association, you say ? [21:38]
asciilifeform (my observation was about plain theft, rather than de-anonymization) [21:38]
nubbins` i do say [21:39]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform there is a barb here. bitbet addresses are rather consecutive if you've noticed. [21:39]
asciilifeform so swap out the 'send winnings to' addr [21:39]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform but the person can trivially verify this. [21:40]
mircea_popescu send 1 bitcent first [21:40]
asciilifeform while, when bitbet replies, preserve the genuine addr (that user pasted) in the text. [21:40]
mircea_popescu that shows you on the site where it thinks btc is going out. [21:40]
mircea_popescu so you know, if you're worried, do it like that [21:41]
mircea_popescu and you might even catch the rabbit. [21:41]
asciilifeform anyone actually do this? [21:41]
mircea_popescu if they give a shit they can [21:41]
mircea_popescu if they do not they don't have to. [21:41]

mircea_popescu at any rate this is why bitbet addresses work the way they do on this score. [21:41]

mircea_popescu some progress, please. [21:58]

asciilifeform the sheer naivete. do we have to draw a picture here? [21:59]
mircea_popescu Mallstromm i hope you're taking notes. [22:00]
asciilifeform how long does it take to write a perlturd that tells a planted box which other units in a cage are pumping tor? [22:00]
asciilifeform 10 minutes? [22:00]
asciilifeform then disks pulled, and the obvious endgame. [22:00]

Apocalyptic #bitcoin is turning reddit [22:04]
mircea_popescu a) you don't need all ; b) nobody actually pulls disks anymore. [22:05]
Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, probably wouldn't be able to appreciate what trilema has to offer [22:05]

davout kakobrekla: log isn't very informative [22:59]

Bugpowder 0.5 BTC is the current bid [22:59]
Bugpowder https://www.bitcoinbuilder.com [22:59]

mircea_popescu and stealing the wallets is totally unreasonable, because he's going to jail. [23:11]
mircea_popescu you need a thinking hat. [23:11]
Bugpowder He is going to much more jail if he straight plundered it all. [23:11]
mircea_popescu derp. [23:11]
mircea_popescu he was going to jail anyway. [23:11]
ThickAsThieves to hell with him! [23:11]
mircea_popescu he didn't have the bitcoinica funds to pay back. [23:12]
jborkl That is the proof in the report, it showed there were no malformed txn even reported on the day Gox said [23:12]
jborkl let me find it [23:12]
Bugpowder show us the data please! [23:12]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.48001 BTC [-] [23:12]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 100 @ 0.00460227 = 0.4602 BTC [-] {2} [23:12]
Namworld MtGox reeks of manipulation, purposeful fails and etc. [23:13]

Namworld No problem stealing your own business under the eyes of authorities. Right in front of them. [23:13]
the20year2 New rentalstarter update - We have preliminary acceptance by seller on the 3 unit property. 3 units at $67k [23:13]
Namworld Done properly, no evidence. It's quite possible. [23:13]
mike_c MPOE market maker uptime since Jan 3: http://i.imgur.com/lwu9eMs.png [23:14]
ThickAsThieves i bet it could be forensicly proven gox is manipulating [23:14]
Namworld At a minimum, they manipulate price for a profit. [23:14]

mike_c little blips of up/down time i guess. [23:15]
Namworld How? Mark can just claim he had to do all these haltings because of issues. [23:15]
ThickAsThieves mike_c, plot it against price [23:15]
mike_c price of what? [23:15]
ThickAsThieves the index it uses [23:15]
benkay actually plot it against implied vol [23:15]
mircea_popescu mike_c so either 0 or 1 ? [23:15]
Namworld How would one prove that's not the case? [23:15]
mike_c yah, 0 is down, 1 is up [23:15]
benkay IMPLIED VOL [23:15]
jborkl Those are not BTC being traded anyway, they are Gox coins until they prove they have the reserve to back it [23:16]
mircea_popescu no way tho, you mean it was down pretty much solid 8 to 10 jan ? [23:16]
ThickAsThieves namworld, by analyzing and auditing book behavior [23:16]
mike_c yeah, seem nuts? i can check data. [23:16]
* gribble has quit (Disconnected by services) [23:16]
mircea_popescu it does seem nuts. [23:16]
mircea_popescu also definitely was quoting on the 1st of feb [23:17]
mike_c kk, disregard, i did some spot checking on downtimes but maybe not enough. i'll verify. [23:17]

Namworld TaT, how would that help? I didn't say manipulate through fake orders. Just through haltings, bad news, etc. [23:18]
mircea_popescu mike_c is this based on like 1 sampling/day ? [23:18]
mike_c polling every 2 minutes [23:18]
mircea_popescu so then why 1/0 ? [23:18]
mike_c the graph has a 2 minute resolution [23:18]
mircea_popescu from that graph it either was down an entire day or up an entire day or some shit [23:18]
mike_c no, not all the pikes are on tick marks [23:19]
* bwq has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [23:19]
mircea_popescu mike_c it can't possibly have 2 min resolution seeing how you have what, 20 pixels in each day [23:19]
mircea_popescu and a day is longer than 40 minutes [23:19]

davout mircea_popescu: not for french civil servants [23:20]

mike_c the data has a 2 minute resolution. the graph is obv. somewhat less, but it is taken from that data. [23:20]
mircea_popescu so then shouldn't i be seeing averaging ? [23:20]
mircea_popescu and consequently, values other than 1 and 0 ? [23:20]
* bwq (~bwq@2001:41d0:8:7582::1) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:21]
mike_c no, it's not bucketed. [23:21]
mike_c if you zoomed in on the graph (not the png), you would get to 2 minute resolution [23:21]
* RBRubicon has quit (Quit: quit.....) [23:21]
mircea_popescu look, bucketed or not, this can't be that. [23:21]
mircea_popescu hm [23:21]
mike_c ok, first off, let me make sure the down/up is accurate in january. [23:21]
mike_c brb [23:21]
mircea_popescu i'm off for now, but we continue this tomorro. [23:22]
mike_c ok [23:22]
jborkl One puzzle is that Mt.Gox announced their difficulties on Feb 7, and then explained Feb 10 that they were stopping withdrawals due to a malleability attack. Since the OP_PUSHDATA2 attack didn't start until Feb 9, this attack can't be responsible for the Feb 7 problems. One possibility is there was a different type of malleability attack that affected Mt.Gox. It would be interesting to get the hash [23:22]
jborkl for one of the affected transactions from before Feb 7, to see what was going on. [23:22]
