gribble Rating entry successful. Your rating for user danielpbarron has changed from 1 to 1. [00:09]
cgcardona_ thanks btw ^ [00:09]
artifexd cgcardona_: I wouldn't worry about total wot rating since it is a meaningless number. [00:09]
artifexd Sometimes a negative rating would be a good thing depending on who it came from. [00:09]
fluffypony like from Supa [00:10]
artifexd Imagine you had a negative rating from mtgox with the comment "TROLL!!!!!!" [00:10]
cgcardona_ haha. [00:10]
artifexd I would see such a rating as reflecting positively on the ratee. [00:10]

cgcardona_ interesting way to look at it. [00:10]

rithm i'd almost pay for a negrate from mgicaltux [00:13]
rithm *magicaltux [00:13]
rithm negrate from a scammer is a badge of honor [00:13]
artifexd Exactly. So you can't just look at the sum of the ratings and learn anything useful. [00:14]
artifexd Does anyone know of any wot visualization tools? I imagine something like bubbles with names and the lines connecting those bubbles are colored/weighted according to the rating. [00:15]
bounce sure you can. "person has been rated N times, some positive, some negative." -- negative ratings might well be the more interesting to read. [00:15]
artifexd When I said "look at the sum", I meant look at the single number which is the sum of all ratings. [00:16]
* kermit (unknown@pdpc/supporter/bronze/kermit) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:16]
bounce the fact that it exists at all is an interesting datum, inasmuch it doesn't say "not rated yet" [00:17]
bounce if it's well over 10 or -10 that's a clear indication it wasn't by just one rating either [00:18]
artifexd I would argue that the fact that it exists at all encourages the improper use of the wot. [00:18]

HeySteve well, I don't expect it will sell for bitcoin, more likely for USD if they get their price (which may be lower than their asking) [12:19]
mircea_popescu i'll bet you it won't sell for 40mn usd or equiv. [12:20]
HeySteve well it's worth what people will pay for it I guess. [12:20]
HeySteve heh I don't know enough about fine art to want to take that bet [12:20]

mircea_popescu so there's this romanian rap band, bug mafia. it exists since the 90s, it was one of the first in the sense someone in bitcoin since 2010 is "one of the first". they're to this day the best by a very very fat margin. [13:19]
mircea_popescu then one day i use one of their lines as a title for a post, and i get the #1 spot by morning. [13:20]
mircea_popescu google is racist, basically. [13:20]
fluffypony yeah but wouldn't your competition be lyrics sites? [13:23]
mircea_popescu they have their own official site and everything. problem is, they don't have much english support on the web, being.. you know, a romanian language band. [13:23]
mircea_popescu this would be the definition of racism : 10 units of e + 1 unit of r is more than 0e + 100 r. [13:24]
fluffypony ah [13:24]

mircea_popescu actually upc arguably started as astral, which you know... got started by the father of a chick i was doing back in hs [13:40]
mircea_popescu he hated me. [13:40]
Naphex hehe [13:40]
bounce it doesn't really make sense to throttle the uplink on glass, though. it's likely just throttled gigabit. [13:40]
Naphex is there no RDS in TM?:) [13:40]
bounce good for the gamer kids though, "low ping" [13:41]
mircea_popescu Naphex sure there is. [13:41]
mircea_popescu bounce they save on gear upstream is all. [13:41]
mircea_popescu see, for instance, the whole town is full of fiber spools hanging from poles [13:41]
mircea_popescu because rather than buy the cutter they just don't cut it. [13:41]
mircea_popescu spool it up, stick it in the box. [13:41]
bounce like you're ever going to take it out and put it somewhere else. even so, throttling the uplink doesn't really buy you much of anything, hardware wise [13:42]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8000 @ 0.00098533 = 7.8826 BTC [-] [13:43]
mircea_popescu no, but it does bw wise. [13:43]
mircea_popescu romania could, on the basis of end user installed gateways, nuke the rest of hte planet off the internet [13:43]
mircea_popescu and... it would. [13:43]
Naphex its true :) [13:44]
mircea_popescu just imagine you have something like 10mn customers doing 1gbit uplink each [13:44]
mircea_popescu and now find me a peer that'll relay this. [13:44]
* rithm has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [13:44]
bounce depends on how the transit agreements work. some places actually liked generating more bandwidth "the other way", as it pushed the balance a bit more towards evening out [13:44]
* ericmuyser (~ericmuyse@S010628c68e00af53.vc.shawcable.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [13:46]

mircea_popescu yeah i see [14:08]

fluffypony instead of reinventing the wheel (and doing so badly) [14:08]

HeySteve mircea_popescu, quite so. I spoke to nanotube about integrating WoT with a cryptocurrency [14:10]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [COG] 24 @ 0.00750003 = 0.18 BTC [+] {2} [14:10]
mircea_popescu HeySteve i don't follow ? the wot is integrated with any cryptocurrency as it is. i can and have rated people for say... atc deals. [14:10]
mircea_popescu fluffypony because idiocy. [14:11]
HeySteve sure, but putting the identity and associated ratings into a blockchain [14:11]
HeySteve been working on this for a while [14:11]
mircea_popescu fluffypony and in the case of btcjam, because they know they're running a scam platform. it'd make no sense to take any steps that make this more obvious than it actually is. [14:11]
mircea_popescu HeySteve so like a sort of a db backup maintained distributedly ? [14:12]
HeySteve yep that's it [14:12]
mircea_popescu i know nanotube was working on a wot 2.0 that'd be distributed and not depend on him [14:12]
mircea_popescu seeing how he's all old and frail and will eventually go. [14:12]
HeySteve and associating costs with establishing an identity and rating people may improve the system slightly [14:13]
HeySteve I have a further idea to incentivise non-scammy behaviour too [14:13]
mircea_popescu no. [14:13]
mircea_popescu incentives do not belong in the wot. [14:13]
mircea_popescu gotta keep it separated [14:13]
HeySteve hmm, why do you say that? [14:14]
mircea_popescu why do i say what ?! [14:15]
HeySteve <+mircea_popescu> incentives do not belong in the wot. [14:15]
mircea_popescu because the wot is the measure of how people respond to incentives, it makes no sense to change its neutrality to add incentives for particular responses. [14:15]

* darkee (~darkee@gateway/tor-sasl/darkee) has joined #bitcoin-assets [14:16]
HeySteve ah. well as I see it, bad behaviour leads to negative rep which makes future trades less likely and the inverse is true. that's how I use the term incentives. [14:17]
mircea_popescu that's exactly how it works now. [14:17]
HeySteve right, but my idea is to augment that [14:17]
mircea_popescu let me make this point clearer through an example. suppose i go to a village in somalia. this village has 100 people and they're all normal people, they do good and bad things by w/e definition of good and bad. [14:18]
mircea_popescu i own more money than the entire village is worth, a million times over. [14:18]
mircea_popescu so i say to these people : each day you only do good deeds, you will receive your average yearly income. but for every bad deed you do, you get fined x% of that. [14:19]
mircea_popescu now, this obviously will make everyone do nothing but good deeds (presuming rational actors), [14:19]
mircea_popescu but it will also make it impossible for women to pick mates. [14:19]
mircea_popescu because... well... what the fuck, everyone's doing good deeds whether they're good men or not. [14:19]
mircea_popescu and so through incentivising good behaviour i managed to... break the wot. [14:20]
mircea_popescu once i leave that village is fucked. [14:20]
mircea_popescu and now you also understand why western aid ruins africa. [14:20]
fluffypony incentivised ratings also opens the incentives themselves to Sybil attacks, no? [14:21]
mircea_popescu exactly. [14:21]
fluffypony all I need to do is create a number of fake actors and claim they only did good deeds today (each fake actor supporting the other) and I receive average yearly income * the number of fake actors I've created [14:22]
HeySteve sure, but in the WoT there is no cost to create sockpuppets [14:23]
mircea_popescu exactly. [14:23]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 50 @ 0.52420746 = 26.2104 BTC [+] {11} [14:23]
HeySteve right, to register an identity within this system there would be a BTC cost [14:23]
fluffypony HeySteve: yes [14:23]
fluffypony but spotting the sockpuppets is easy [14:24]
mircea_popescu HeySteve this counterintuitively makes your system weaker. [14:24]
fluffypony HeySteve: http://trilema.com/2014/what-the-wot-is-for-how-it-works-and-how-to-use-it/ [14:24]
mircea_popescu because the cost is not a discouragement to the sybil, if it has a way to turn a profit [14:24]
fluffypony followed by: http://trilema.com/2014/advanced-wot-course-how-the-wot-is-attacked-and-how-it-defends-itself/ [14:24]
mircea_popescu but it IS a discouragement to the legit members. [14:24]
HeySteve fluffypony I have studied that article in some depth [14:24]
mircea_popescu and so through adding a cost you're actually skewing it towards scammers. [14:24]
mircea_popescu this is much ampler discussed in this older article : http://trilema.com/2012/adnotated-words-of-wisdom-on-the-topic-of-online-fraud/ [14:25]
HeySteve well, I want to make the signup cost vastly more expensive than the cost of earning rep through good behaviour [14:25]
fluffypony so then you're chasing away legitimate users [14:25]
mircea_popescu this does not speak to the problem. [14:25]
fluffypony I won't pay to use the system when there's a perfectly good free one I'm already on :-P [14:26]
HeySteve heh well, I hope we can satisfy such concerns and build something useful [14:26]
HeySteve appreciate discussing it with people who understand the WoT in depth [14:26]
mircea_popescu HeySteve understand tho : this is not quite unlike solid state physics, or radioastronomy. [14:26]
mircea_popescu i can respect your desire to build a better process for refining hahnium, or for resolving doppler aberrations in telescopy. [14:27]
mircea_popescu nevertheless, these are not tasks of the same nature as mowing the lawn. [14:27]

* numerisTrade has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) [14:38]
Naphex :)) [14:38]
HeySteve well, in terms of WoT there is a time cost to registration with gribble [14:38]
mircea_popescu to translate this, some history : romania was a communist country. to get it on a capitalist system, anyone not fucktarded enough was simply given money, from the state. [14:38]
mircea_popescu yes, just like that. [14:38]
mircea_popescu if you had any sort of a clue and could talk the talk of business, you just got money. [14:39]
mircea_popescu exactly the way i handle btc, incidentally. just don't sound like the lumpens and you'll be okay. [14:39]
mircea_popescu this resulted in all the moral hazard you might expect, but also into the most fiscally stable country in europe, and with stores of physical gold per capita well above everyone else [14:39]
mircea_popescu one of the edge cases of that moral hazard were idiot "business men" who thought they actually have a clue, but in fact were products of a fortunate environment like that. [14:40]
mircea_popescu notably, some of these magnates "invested" in media. [14:40]
mircea_popescu their investments fared about as well as neobee's, a few degrees of magnitude larger. [14:40]
mircea_popescu one of the best examples is a fellow known as varanul, ie dan voiculescu [14:41]
Naphex hehe [14:41]
mircea_popescu this schmuck was given something to the tune of a few bn usd, and ten years later he had to have a very embarassing 100mn sent to him in the middle of the electoral campaign, [14:41]
mircea_popescu because he was out of fucking money. [14:41]
mircea_popescu think about it, you give a schmuck 1bn and legal immunity, you'd fucking expect he can pay you 100mn a year for the rest of all eternity. [14:42]
mircea_popescu not this guy tho. [14:42]
mircea_popescu and not the only example, either. [14:42]
mircea_popescu and hence, the "suntem pe investitii" expression, which is what said idiots said about their media "empires", for 3-4 years [14:42]
mircea_popescu "we're in investment mode" [14:43]

fluffypony I think it goes back to a discussion I had with someone the other day - he was espousing the values of the Dogecoin community, and how nice everyone is, and they don't have "scams like Bitcoin has" [17:23]
fluffypony so I pointed out that lending a buddy 200k Dogecoin today is worth a whopping $120, but Dogecoin's market cap is tiny ($44 mil as opposed to $6.2 bil), and would he trust his buddy to not run with those coins if they were worth $17 000? [17:23]

mircea_popescu in my humble opinion, this is the most important thing written on the topic in the history of human culture, neatly dwarving adam smith and so forth. [18:52]

ThickAsThieves thinking out loud, if something is not a medium of exchange, [19:01]
ThickAsThieves should it never be used as one? [19:01]
ThickAsThieves for example, time [19:01]

davout jurov: the distinction of barter vs. other forms of trade is imho quite artificial [19:07]
ThickAsThieves i always sorta viewed mediums of exchange as manifestations of time [19:07]
davout a medium of exchange is just another economic good, one that is particularly liquid though [19:07]
ThickAsThieves time is all we really have right? [19:07]
davout why so ? [19:09]

ThickAsThieves hmm, it's the only resource everyone has? how one "spends" their time may determine their "wealth" ...? [19:13]
benkay you're born long time and short housing... [19:13]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves ty! [19:13]
ThickAsThieves it is inconvenient to transfer time, so currency is used [19:14]
ThickAsThieves among other inconvenient things to transfer [19:14]
mircea_popescu so if it doesn't satisfy #2, it's not a medium of exchange [19:14]
mircea_popescu case closed. [19:14]
mircea_popescu i mean you know, you can view planets as stars, as in the case of venus [19:15]
mircea_popescu what you prefer viewing things as tho is not a point of astronomy [19:15]
ThickAsThieves well i did start by acknowledging it was not a MoE [19:15]
mircea_popescu time is definitely very important. [19:15]
ThickAsThieves maybe rephrased, would it be preferred to require currency in a barter [19:16]
mircea_popescu the problem of natural persons vs legal persons is that natural persons have constraints legal persons do not. [19:16]
ThickAsThieves instead of the man;s time [19:16]
mircea_popescu such as finite timespan, and a need to eat. [19:16]
mircea_popescu this makes corporations win out in any fair contest. [19:16]
ThickAsThieves how is it fair if one side has constraints? [19:17]
* surfcap (48314a5d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.72.49.74.93) has joined #bitcoin-assets [19:17]
mircea_popescu a fair contest is a contest which does not distinguish between participants. [19:17]
mircea_popescu !up surfcap [19:17]
assbot Voicing surfcap for 30 minutes. [19:17]
* assbot gives voice to surfcap [19:17]
ThickAsThieves ah, so it's fair because the person chose to compete [19:17]
mircea_popescu fairness in this context may not be what you think when you say the word. [19:18]
mircea_popescu fairness is not a guarantee of equal resuts, even if you promise equal effort. [19:18]
mircea_popescu fair is simply anonymity. [19:18]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [ALC] 750 @ 0.14 = 105 BTC [19:18]
mircea_popescu if the contest is running, and it dun matter who's running, he still has to do 100 meters, be it obama or goldstein, [19:18]
mircea_popescu then it's a fair contest. [19:18]
mircea_popescu and from unrelated news : "Nothing makes you more powerful inside the joint than a strong grounding in currency arbitrage." [19:20]
mircea_popescu bitcoin is the best thing you could possibly be doing with your time, not last on the list because even should it put you in prison, it will probably make you a ruler there, too. [19:20]
mircea_popescu a more absolute gift of power could scarcely be devised. "even in hell, they with this staff wield power" sort of thing. [19:21]
dignork mircea_popescu: person can win over corporate entity, think of kill contract for C-level staff [19:21]

mircea_popescu dignork i don't follow ? [19:21]
dignork mircea_popescu: "mircea_popescu | this makes corporations win out in any fair contest." [19:21]
mircea_popescu i know what i said, what i don't follow is what you said. [19:22]
ThickAsThieves it always amazed me how much arbitrage opportunity existed on the play exchanges [19:22]
dignork mircea_popescu: just describing situation where person can win [19:22]
mircea_popescu how does the person win ? [19:22]
ThickAsThieves and what is the contest [19:23]
mircea_popescu if you shoot all the board of X corp, what of it ? they just hire new ones. [19:23]
dignork mircea_popescu: if the game was survavibility [19:23]
mircea_popescu a corporation is like a personified feud. it can even lay dormant. [19:23]
mircea_popescu meanwhile banks adding interest to its accounts. [19:23]
ThickAsThieves so mp, with this purified definition of economy, how do we apply it to current situations for benefit? [19:25]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 2 @ 0.06476363 = 0.1295 BTC [-] {2} [19:25]
ThickAsThieves like, we discovered quantum computing, now what? [19:25]
mircea_popescu well we apply it to understand what we do and do not understand better, and formalise both. [19:26]
mircea_popescu for instance, what does qc do ? does it attack the forum ? [19:26]
mircea_popescu does it attack the moe ? the wot ? how so ? [19:26]
mircea_popescu it can be fixed once we understand wtf it does. [19:26]

mircea_popescu before we do, it's just you know, fretting. [19:26]
* SatoshiJack has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [19:27]
mircea_popescu and generally, it's a knife. it allows to cleave reality and the problems of reality into easier to manage bits. [19:28]
mircea_popescu say, the "problem" of x. well... how mcuh of it actually is economical ? that much should be resolved economically. [19:28]
mircea_popescu the rest is probably emotional ? or political ? or whatever the fuck else. [19:28]
mircea_popescu suddenly reality is actionable, which is what makes great science. [19:28]
mircea_popescu (and science great) [19:28]
ThickAsThieves so, it's basic first use would be as a test [19:29]
ThickAsThieves is this an economy or not, etc [19:29]
ThickAsThieves altough you do already claim it is the first real economy [19:29]
benkay good grief it's like everyone disappeared for three days and then came back and pooped it all out on the logs [19:30]
mircea_popescu which claim is that ? i make som any [19:30]
benkay STAHP FOR LOVE OF CHRIST [19:30]
mircea_popescu benkay shuttup and read biotch. [19:30]
ThickAsThieves "It is important to bear in mind however that Bitcoin is merely a tool, that what we’re truly interested in is creating - for the first time in perhaps as long as two centuries - an actual, working economy" [19:30]
ThickAsThieves so not as sweeping as i said [19:31]
ThickAsThieves but pretty broad [19:31]
mircea_popescu yeah. the objection there is not so different from tlp's objection that medicalisation of welfare. [19:31]
* ericmuys_ (~ericmuyse@S010628c68e00af53.vc.shawcable.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [19:31]
mircea_popescu there's been a trend to economize welfare, and that just muddies up everything [19:31]
mircea_popescu not to mention the economization of politics, whereby politics are resisted or promoted on alleged economic grounds. [19:32]
* DudeSJ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [19:32]
mircea_popescu most of the debate dealing with strictly uneconomic matters. [19:32]
benkay and the economic matters rarely have data on which to base claims. [19:32]
ThickAsThieves i wonder if this could be applied to mmporg guilds, maybe your Rift guild is missing a punishment gazette [19:32]
mircea_popescu it kinda has it, very rudimentarily, as the kick log say. [19:33]
benkay the takeaway for me from the piketty stuff (if anyone cares) is that claims about how money flows are all hot air and lacking in data. [19:33]
mircea_popescu o wow ThickAsThieves check this shit out : [19:33]
ThickAsThieves wait, but is punishment gazette the proper term? [19:33]
mircea_popescu i CREATED IT because we have an open guild bank where anyone can take out a stack, but you're not supposed to take out the WHOLE stack of things you can use 1-2 of [19:33]
benkay humiliation blotter? [19:33]
ThickAsThieves for isn't a positive note possible? and useful? [19:33]
mircea_popescu so i put a note on a guy's "officer notesd" place that hey, you took all our x runes wtf [19:33]
mircea_popescu and he put them back. [19:33]
mircea_popescu so there the fuck you go. [19:33]
ThickAsThieves hah [19:34]
mircea_popescu this theory is useful in design : how to make better mmorpgs. [19:34]
mircea_popescu or countries. [19:34]
mircea_popescu just like, you know, the original adam smith. [19:34]
ThickAsThieves but [19:34]
ThickAsThieves then it starts looking like, everything is an economy [19:34]
ThickAsThieves which you are saying is foolish already [19:34]
mircea_popescu anyway, a "gazette" is this ancient term of "where all the matters of record are published" [19:34]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves everything that moves has some economic part [19:35]
ThickAsThieves right but you call it punishment [19:35]
mircea_popescu much like it has an engine. [19:35]
fluffypony yeah, the issue is with the "punishment" part, not the gazette part [19:35]
ThickAsThieves so maybe i reword to, any organized effort could benefit from a properly implemented economy [19:35]
mircea_popescu punishment is any action upon an agent that happens irrespective of the will of that agent [19:35]
mircea_popescu which is why i'd say punishment is the proper term. [19:35]
* ericmuys_ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [19:35]
mircea_popescu you don't need me to rate me. [19:35]
ThickAsThieves i punish you with my appreciation [19:36]
mircea_popescu sure. maybe i don't want it. [19:36]
mircea_popescu suppose pirate came back and went ;;rate ThickAsThieves 6 trusted guy helped me launder money [19:36]
ThickAsThieves i get what youre saying, [19:37]
ThickAsThieves but i think you might be choosing the wrong word [19:37]
ThickAsThieves no definition of punishment i know would include a positive rating [19:37]
ThickAsThieves whether you want to twist a positive rating into being a punishment seems to me, another thing [19:38]
ThickAsThieves you want your gazette to be impartial and permanent in and of itself [19:38]
fluffypony maybe actaque non persona is better? [19:38]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves well... so maybe the definition is broken you know ? [19:39]
ThickAsThieves lol [19:39]
ThickAsThieves says the guy who wants people to look up words and use them properly [19:39]
mircea_popescu but this is properly ;/ [19:39]

mircea_popescu tbh i was tempted to outright call it a wot. [19:42]
ThickAsThieves thick as thieves [19:42]
cgcardona_ wod web-of-distrust [19:42]
mircea_popescu the trouble is that wot is a horrible name, as it's not OF TRUST in the obvious sense, but in the other one. and it'd seem to discuss the actual web, rather than its notation. [19:43]
ThickAsThieves agreed [19:43]
fluffypony yeah [19:43]
mircea_popescu like the web is the set of websites, not the set of human knowledge [19:43]
ThickAsThieves the Trust part leads to noobs using it wrong [19:43]
mircea_popescu but the wot seems more the latter. yeah. [19:43]
fluffypony let's call it the Bitcoin Social Network instead :-P [19:43]
mircea_popescu the truth being that this shit's so bleedin' advanced ... we are without words. [19:43]
mircea_popescu or urmom. [19:43]
mircea_popescu we could call it urmom gazelle. [19:44]

mircea_popescu this would be fucking ideal, but unfortunately it'd yield fragmentation. [19:50]
mircea_popescu the wot already has a massive zooke triangle problem [19:51]
ThickAsThieves this seems to be a problem to me [19:51]
ThickAsThieves the chronicles didnt require a king to auth [19:51]
mircea_popescu (and the fact good names aren't being squatted to fuck amazes me, and it is a testament to the fundamental economic ineptitude of geeks) [19:51]

benkay hey so i have my conjectures but how the hell does this work: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/this-tower-pulls-drinking-water-out-of-thin-air-180950399/ ? [19:52]
fluffypony ah [19:52]
mircea_popescu benkay condensation ? [19:52]
ThickAsThieves it says so right on the caption [19:52]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves the chronicles didn't work that fucking well, either. [19:53]
fluffypony ThickAsThieves: maybe the WoT should allow rating someone unknown based on their public GPG key, if it is known? [19:53]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves lol i didn't click. i guess he's a slow reader. [19:53]
mircea_popescu fluffypony only one way to verify it is them. [19:53]
benkay mircea_popescu: what delta-t is it leveraging, though? [19:53]
mircea_popescu the problem here is that people interact with an entity calling itself at&t and using a non-gribble method of authing. [19:53]
benkay ground? [19:53]
mircea_popescu so now trust is created that's not wot-based. so in a sense old people are attacking the wot through being... stupid. [19:54]
mircea_popescu this will go away on its own. [19:54]
ThickAsThieves yeah, i think it's only a temporary problem [19:54]
mircea_popescu already good software is gpg based as a matter of course. so what if microsoft doesn't want to sign ? [19:54]
ThickAsThieves but temporary is relative... [19:54]
ThickAsThieves but basically att not being in the wor, makes them a scammer [19:55]
ThickAsThieves but we have no competitors in the wot either [19:55]
benkay (someone start a cell company!) [19:56]
ThickAsThieves lol, you have to actually tick a box on the opt out page https://www.att.com/ecpnioptout/InitiateCPNIForm.action [19:56]
ThickAsThieves it already has no other purpose [19:56]
fluffypony I see ICANN now forces you to verify your email if you list your actual contact details on your domain [19:59]
fluffypony at least, with the domains I registered today I had to [19:59]

ThickAsThieves i'm merely trying to see whether Bitcoin would qualify as another echo to apply it to, not whether it fits a perfect example [23:20]

ThickAsThieves jurov i somewhat disagree [23:31]
ThickAsThieves (note i'm taking this position for sake of the debate, i have no conclusion) [23:31]
ThickAsThieves first, the theory doesnt require consensus judgment and punishment (head on pike) [23:32]
ThickAsThieves it only requires communicating the actions punishable [23:32]
ThickAsThieves "punishment" in its terms are merely individually given [23:32]
ThickAsThieves and then those would then be interpreted separately by any individual user [23:33]
ThickAsThieves i may decide mark's head didnt belong on a pike [23:33]

ThickAsThieves c [23:33]
ThickAsThieves [16:26] <+jurov> we need extra-blockchain information to assess them /// do we? each address may function as a user/reputation [23:34]
ThickAsThieves and we do have a source for extra-info, the bitcoin software [23:34]
ThickAsThieves it's interesting to me to see how much the 3 separate elements would/could function as economies themselves, and how their traits might converge [23:35]
ThickAsThieves as in the gazette now wants to be decentalized, like bitcoin [23:35]
mircea_popescu o hey [23:35]
chetty if the judgement is individual isnt the choice of information source also individual? [23:35]
ThickAsThieves well just use the WoT for reference [23:36]
jurov okay, my another objection is that rating is not done at the same time as transaction [23:36]
ThickAsThieves is the gazette also an economy? [23:36]
mircea_popescu ;;rate Oleanie 1 liked my rose [23:36]
gribble Rating entry successful. Your rating of 1 for user Oleanie has been recorded. [23:36]
ThickAsThieves jurov that's also not a requirement of the theory as stated [23:36]
jurov no that was my objection to using current bitcoin blockchain [23:37]
ThickAsThieves no requirement to be timely in your rating [23:37]
mircea_popescu bitcoins being the medium, blockchain the gazette, mining the forum? << it's a very limited economy at that, but i guess so. [23:37]
ThickAsThieves if the WoT is decentralized, and has verification methods, signing, identities, etc, and bitcoin also does, they start to converge in their features [23:38]
mircea_popescu i have a feeling though, this theory will end up distilling into one that already exists << kinda cxurious about this myself. [23:38]
* kermit has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [23:38]
ThickAsThieves (bitcoin and the WoT) [23:38]
mircea_popescu hmmm but it does not allow negative ratings << 0 to 20, -10 to 10, no diff. [23:39]
jurov yes that's the protocol that must be agreed upon [23:39]
ThickAsThieves what might be the medium of exchange in the WoT? Rating points, right? [23:40]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves it has no medium of exchange it'd seem, because points are created and destroyed [23:40]
* tyrion70 has quit (Quit: Leaving.) [23:40]
mircea_popescu bitcoins, you will note, are never destroyed. neiuther is gold. [23:40]
ThickAsThieves maybe just requires creative interpretation [23:41]
mircea_popescu neither are fiat bills (not in the sense of the physical bill, but in the sense of it being authorised, it'll get reprinted, and trhe bill is that trademark that spawns the authirisation) [23:41]
jurov blockchain.info's "taint analysis" is very crude implementation of WoT, perhaps? [23:41]
ThickAsThieves every user has 40 points they can work with, unto any other user [23:41]
ThickAsThieves you cant create them [23:41]
ThickAsThieves only allocate [23:41]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves this is what someone was proposing at conference, when i introduced fain [23:41]
mircea_popescu and how constants don't work [23:41]
mircea_popescu so no, that's what it is : it isn't a wot because it can't be [23:42]
ThickAsThieves <+mircea_popescu> i have a feeling though, this theory will end up distilling into one that already exists << kinda cxurious about this myself. /// one thing it reminds me of is your basic escrow deal [23:42]

benkay wow well extravagant claims etc. how'd you do that? [23:44]
mircea_popescu prop sauce, but basically it leveraged individual actions to evaluate everyone else's. [23:44]
mircea_popescu not so hard to distinguish machines from humans if your machine has a stable with many humans [23:44]
ThickAsThieves <+mircea_popescu> so no, that's what it is : it isn't a wot because it can't be /// well i can accumulate points no? and at any given time, a maximum amount can be had, and every time a user joins anew, the system inflates to accommodate [23:45]
jurov i'd extend a punishment gazette with 3. shared protocol and then maybe public forum can be simplified away [23:45]
benkay mircea_popescu: i assume the normal 'upvoting rings' developed and existed? [23:45]
