guevara246 | Hey, I have a question regarding P2SH and timelocked transactions: in a use case where a client is purchasing a good or service using a 2 of 3 multisig scheme, can a timelocked transaction be broadcast to the network and invalidated by a second transaction, signed by the same agents, sending outputs to a different address? | [00:41] |

thestringpuller | ;;later tell guevara246 this is a problem I was working on. even with a single sig a timelocked transaction can be double spent if it another valid transaction is broadcasted and accepted before the timelock expires the original transaction becomes expired | [01:57] |

nubbins` | BlueMeanie4 what kinda options/futures you looking to buy | [04:27] |
BlueMeanie4 | well want to know how the controls work | [04:28] |
BlueMeanie4 | this is part of the problem, MARKETING is the big challenge for these sorts of instruments | [04:28] |
mircea_popescu | nubbins` it's actually one of the best ways to get in the wot, fully paid future delivery contracts with someone already in. should be safe enough if dealing with a heavyweight for both parties. | [04:28] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 no it's not. they aren't for the mass market. | [04:28] |
mircea_popescu | whenever the random idiot gets involved across the board, the economy goes to shit. | [04:28] |
* | stormlight (~stormligh@c-24-23-231-181.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [04:29] |
BlueMeanie4 | actually our economic crisis was blamed on a sort of security | [04:29] |
mircea_popescu | someone wants to cast a vote in the wonderous world of finance, he'd better demonstrate either intelligence or the ability to retain counsel. | [04:29] |
BlueMeanie4 | and there are MASSIVE outstanding instruments that most believe will collapse | [04:29] |
mircea_popescu | you don't say. | [04:29] |
BlueMeanie4 | well part of the problem here is how to catalog the *offerings* for these instrumetns so I can easily invest or market them | [04:30] |
BlueMeanie4 | example I want to make a bond for my business | [04:30] |
BlueMeanie4 | but no one knows what my business does | [04:30] |
BlueMeanie4 | but there are investors out there who might want to invest in my CLASS of credit | [04:30] |
* | RagnarsBitch (~AndChat67@75-23-231-33.lightspeed.lgngca.sbcglobal.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [04:30] |
BlueMeanie4 | this is how mortgage financing works | [04:31] |
BlueMeanie4 | the bankers no longer know who you are | [04:31] |
BlueMeanie4 | but they know what class of credit you are in | [04:31] |
* | punkman1 (~punkman@unaffiliated/punkman) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [04:31] |
BlueMeanie4 | so this approach greatly increases liquidity | [04:32] |
jborkl | Mircea, if I need credit for the next 3 days will my WOT suffice? | [04:32] |
* | punkman has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | [04:33] |
BlueMeanie4 | well you WOT is one-dimensional. say you were to describe what the credit is FOR, ie. you want to finance a software project. then your market opens up, there are investors out there who invest in such things. | [04:34] |
BlueMeanie4 | also collateralized contracts are very useful | [04:35] |
mircea_popescu | jborkl depends how much. | [04:36] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 i don't think you understand hw it works. | [04:36] |

mircea_popescu | sorry google, i take it back. my bad. | [04:37] |
jborkl | World of tanks heh | [04:37] |
BlueMeanie4 | im familiar with it | [04:37] |
mircea_popescu | so then what exactly do you mean by "one dimensional" | [04:37] |
mircea_popescu | it's infinitely dimensional. | [04:37] |
BlueMeanie4 | the point is that different classes of credit are valuable to different classes of people | [04:37] |
mircea_popescu | exactly. | [04:37] |
BlueMeanie4 | well WOT measures value by the person, not the type of credit this person is marketing | [04:38] |
mircea_popescu | ... | [04:38] |
mircea_popescu | that made no sense. try again ? | [04:38] |
BlueMeanie4 | heres an example | [04:38] |
BlueMeanie4 | i make two mortgages | [04:38] |
BlueMeanie4 | one for palo alto and one for ferguson | [04:38] |
BlueMeanie4 | made by the same person | [04:39] |
BlueMeanie4 | are they both worth the same? | [04:39] |
mircea_popescu | ... | [04:39] |
mircea_popescu | "i order a dildo and a box of cookies in the same shop. are they worth the same ?" | [04:39] |
mircea_popescu | that's the wrong question. is it equally likely the store will deliver my order is the right question. | [04:39] |
BlueMeanie4 | thats a fairly specious and somewhat annoying response | [04:39] |
mircea_popescu | and yes, i would say that they are equally likely to be delivered. | [04:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | point is | [04:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | yes i would buy one mortgage risk and not the other | [04:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | these are facts of financial markets | [04:40] |
mircea_popescu | but for no reasons to do with the actual risk. | [04:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | try to get car insurance in detroit | [04:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | and see what happens | [04:40] |
mircea_popescu | strictly for reasons to do with what you're buying. | [04:40] |
mircea_popescu | it's nonsense to claim they're the same things but with different risks,. | [04:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | right i want to knwo what im buying | [04:40] |
mircea_popescu | they're actually different things. | [04:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | WOT only looks at the person issueing and while this isn't useless, it is possible to make much better systems | [04:41] |
mircea_popescu | ok, so what you're buying is between you and your cp. | [04:41] |
BlueMeanie4 | true | [04:41] |
mircea_popescu | no, wot only looks at how likely it is for your cp to lie to you. | [04:41] |
BlueMeanie4 | but its EASIER to market it if i can catalogue by risk class | [04:41] |
mircea_popescu | but the reason you can't is because that's a fucktarded system made by lazy apes that doesn't work | [04:41] |
mircea_popescu | which is why you're here, and which is why i'm not on ws. | [04:41] |
BlueMeanie4 | youve got the basic contract mechanism, now you need securitizatino tools | [04:41] |
mircea_popescu | because your system sucks. | [04:41] |
mircea_popescu | the wot is the securization tool. | [04:42] |
BlueMeanie4 | no you dont understand meaning of 'securitization' | [04:42] |
BlueMeanie4 | it doesnt mean making securities per se | [04:42] |
BlueMeanie4 | it means turning risk into a monetized resource | [04:42] |
mircea_popescu | i do. the problem is that you'd like for shorthand that's accepted in an old, meanwhile abandoned system to work unioversally. | [04:42] |
mircea_popescu | it doesn't work universally. | [04:42] |
mircea_popescu | you'll have to learn new shorthand. | [04:42] |
mircea_popescu | same principles, of course, but changes the engineer's life entirely. | [04:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | i can write a contract lets say a futures contract right? | [04:43] |
mircea_popescu | sure. | [04:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | pretty simple | [04:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | i give you 10 beans on christmas day 2015 | [04:43] |
mircea_popescu | okay. | [04:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | but can i resell that risk? | [04:43] |
mircea_popescu | sure. | [04:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | how | [04:43] |
mircea_popescu | by... reselling it. making a new contract. | [04:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | no thats not exactly the same | [04:43] |
mircea_popescu | hell, the ether future contract specifically said it will allow assignment even. | [04:44] |
BlueMeanie4 | because the VALUE of that RISK doesnt float on the market | [04:44] |
mircea_popescu | no, it's not exactly the same. hence the comment above about shorthands, | [04:44] |

mircea_popescu | go ahead. it ain't happening here, and it won't survive the decade. | [04:45] |
BlueMeanie4 | while thats a valid point, i dont think they failed BECAUSE of securitization altough these new methods did destablize | [04:45] |

BlueMeanie4 | debt is the basic thing that gives money substance | [04:49] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 this is like saying vishnu is the basic thing giving the world movement. | [04:50] |
mircea_popescu | sure, if you're pre-colonialism indian. | [04:50] |
BlueMeanie4 | no it isn't - quite the opposite using gold or other commodities for money were a feature of primitive societies- you seem to have it backward | [04:50] |
mircea_popescu | hey, what can i tell you. | [04:50] |
mircea_popescu | don't confuse historical accident with meaning. | [04:51] |
BlueMeanie4 | it goes from | [04:51] |
BlueMeanie4 | barter | [04:51] |
BlueMeanie4 | to commodity notes | [04:51] |
BlueMeanie4 | to debt notes | [04:51] |
mircea_popescu | that's how it goes in the book your learned on. this is called didacticism : the sad habit of people to recreate history in terms of their preferred systematic approach. | [04:51] |
mircea_popescu | otherwise, debt notes are older than coins, have been in use in china since forever. | [04:52] |
BlueMeanie4 | this sophistry doesnt work on me. its pretty simple really. if i hold a note that says YOU OWE ME TWENTY EGGS | [04:52] |
BlueMeanie4 | this is worth something right? | [04:52] |
mircea_popescu | depends who i am and what eggs are. | [04:52] |
BlueMeanie4 | its worth at least 20 eggs in the future | [04:52] |
mircea_popescu | plenty of people hold... pirate debt | [04:52] |
BlueMeanie4 | or rather at most 20 eggs | [04:52] |
mircea_popescu | which they bought because they think like you, in spite of me telling them not to. | [04:52] |
ThickAsThieves | goxcoins | [04:52] |
BlueMeanie4 | right so the margin between the actual eggs and my risk of actually getting them is what is the value of the note | [04:53] |
mircea_popescu | now, you're more welcome to get burned a few times if you won't listen and feel entitled to call things sophistry. | [04:53] |
BlueMeanie4 | and thats the value of currency | [04:53] |
mircea_popescu | no. | [04:53] |
BlueMeanie4 | USDs are valuable because people, generally, think that the US govt will repay | [04:53] |
nubbins` | fun story, was over at my folks' house this evening and my dad pulled out some old chartered bank notes | [04:53] |
mircea_popescu | you are making a mistake jpm warned against. allow me to quote the old gentleman. | [04:53] |
mircea_popescu | Untermyer: "Is not commercial credit based primarily upon money or property?" | [04:54] |
mircea_popescu | Morgan: "No sir. The first thing is character." | [04:54] |
mircea_popescu | Untermyer: "Before money or property?" | [04:54] |
mircea_popescu | Morgan: "Before money or property or anything else. Money cannot buy it...because a man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom." | [04:54] |
nubbins` | came across a Bank of Montreal $20 bill | [04:54] |
BlueMeanie4 | ThickAsTheives- actually those kind of collection notes have a market | [04:54] |
mircea_popescu | so no, it's not a thing equal to another thing, and they discount each other. | [04:54] |
mircea_popescu | who i am and what eggs are comes before any numerical consideration of value. | [04:54] |
BlueMeanie4 | a 20 egg note is not worth 20 eggs, yes, it's up to the debtor to MAKE them worth 20 eggs. see how this works? | [04:54] |
mircea_popescu | i see how you think it works. | [04:55] |
mircea_popescu | but it doth not work that way, mostly. | [04:55] |
BlueMeanie4 | well i dont really bear the burden of proof, these are facts of financial markets as they exist | [04:55] |
* | mircea_popescu shrugs. | [04:55] |
mircea_popescu | how much are us gold backed debentures, worth cca 1931 ? | [04:55] |
mircea_popescu | "this paper will pay 1000 oz of pure gold" | [04:55] |
BlueMeanie4 | when did we issue those? | [04:56] |
nubbins` | OH NO IT WON'T | [04:56] |
mircea_popescu | yes well. | [04:56] |
BlueMeanie4 | we had silver certs for a while | [04:56] |
BlueMeanie4 | i have a few actually | [04:56] |
mircea_popescu | so look : you can sit in a car, and derive from the experiene of sitting there some idea as to how the car works. | [04:56] |
mircea_popescu | this is fine, but it's a little silly to push that argument of familiarity too far. | [04:57] |
mircea_popescu | these "financial markets" aren't a single thing, and they only work as you describe them when they don't actually work. | [04:57] |
BlueMeanie4 | i find it unfortunate that so many are bogged down with these voodoo economic ideas when they should be building better machinery to deliver real functions | [04:58] |
mircea_popescu | well, to round the circle : i find it unfortunate that so many otherwise intelligent fellows are so fixated on their various habituations that they refuse to adapt and become useful for the future. | [04:58] |
BlueMeanie4 | ok but i fail to see any operable ideas here | [04:59] |
BlueMeanie4 | just suggestions that our current system is flawed in some way | [04:59] |
mircea_popescu | but one point is important : the world you know has failed. this will require a pound of flesh out of everyone involved. whether it comes in the form of the intellectual humiliation where you say "we were wrong and the actual voodoo people at the table" and move on, or the actual physical humiliation that goes with being on the defeated side... | [05:00] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 well you gotta read to see the operable ideas. | [05:00] |
BlueMeanie4 | the basic laws of math and economics have not failed nor have they been altered | [05:00] |
mircea_popescu | they have not. just, you never used any math and you never had much to say about economics. | [05:01] |

mircea_popescu | in that assumption you'd be wrong. | [05:20] |
BlueMeanie4 | well for as long as you lack the features i describe, these contracts will have a very limited market | [05:21] |
nubbins` | mp sick tunes | [05:21] |
mircea_popescu | maximizing the market is not a valid goal of economics any more than maximizing body weight is not a valid goal of medicine. | [05:22] |
mircea_popescu | you're maybe thinking industrial veterinarian. | [05:22] |
mircea_popescu | different story. | [05:22] |
mircea_popescu | the point is for the market to be meaningful not large. | [05:22] |
BlueMeanie4 | economics literally means 'efficiency' | [05:22] |
mircea_popescu | in the sense laundromat literally means laundry robot. | [05:23] |
nubbins` | home ec | [05:23] |
BlueMeanie4 | from Greek oikonomia "household management, thrift," | [05:23] |
mircea_popescu | the thrift is actually the historical point here. economy started its life as an attempt to waste less. | [05:24] |
BlueMeanie4 | well if i want to say take out a put or o call | [05:24] |
BlueMeanie4 | i want the best price | [05:24] |
BlueMeanie4 | and how will i get the best price | [05:24] |
mircea_popescu | your focus on the price to the detriment of the more important considerations is, again, what sunk the system you grew up with. | [05:24] |
nubbins` | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9lzL14S9GU | [05:25] |
assbot | Grandma's Sitting in the Corner With a Penis in Her Hand Going "No, No, No, No, No" - The Frogs - YouTube | [05:25] |
mircea_popescu | that's how you ended up with "books" being the shittiest thing people will still take as a book, in a neat little package | [05:25] |
mircea_popescu | and with otherwise-flavoured fanta sold as beer | [05:25] |
mircea_popescu | and so on, | [05:25] |
BlueMeanie4 | this seems to be a tactic you use to avoid addressing either your lack of information on a subject or you willingness to accept various facts | [05:25] |
mircea_popescu | it's not a pretty place to live in. even if you do have the ever present, ever oversold hope you will somehow "create immense value" and run off to live in argentina. | [05:25] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 what's "this" ? | [05:26] |
BlueMeanie4 | you cant just wave away ideas by saying 'thats old world' | [05:26] |
mircea_popescu | course i can. i can do anything i want. | [05:26] |
BlueMeanie4 | well sure | [05:26] |
nubbins` | "i want the best price" is why all the painted lines are worn off the road here two months after they gets sprayed on. | [05:26] |
BlueMeanie4 | but you look like a cult leader | [05:26] |
BlueMeanie4 | or at least aspiring to be one | [05:26] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 if i cared what i looked like i'd actually be a cult leader. | [05:26] |
mircea_popescu | as it is, i'm content to merely look like one. | [05:26] |
BlueMeanie4 | ok. | [05:27] |
nubbins` | "i want the best price" is why there are five wal-marts in my city of 100k people | [05:27] |
mircea_popescu | auctoritas. it's a thing. | [05:27] |
BlueMeanie4 | nubbins you dont want the best price? | [05:27] |
nubbins` | "i want the best price" is the reason why tim horton's is the number one coffee chain in canada | [05:27] |
mircea_popescu | it ruled an empire, and it was the way to rule an empire, before the very successful french revolution reorganised your mental space for you. | [05:27] |
nubbins` | BlueMeanie4: of course not. | [05:27] |
BlueMeanie4 | ha | [05:27] |
nubbins` | i want the best /value/. | [05:27] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 he sells expensive artwork and shit. not a very good angle there. | [05:28] |
BlueMeanie4 | thats what the anti-walmartians argument boils down to. they lack the terms to describe what is bothering them, so instead they are stuck paying for overpriced stuff from 'local' people | [05:28] |
nubbins` | "i want the best price" as you head to the dollar store to buy the fifth set of pliers | [05:28] |
nubbins` | BlueMeanie4 the point flew about six feet above your head | [05:28] |
mircea_popescu | o brother will you have fun here. | [05:29] |
mircea_popescu | i just hope your nerves hold. | [05:29] |
BlueMeanie4 | ok so you dont want marketable financial contracts | [05:29] |
BlueMeanie4 | go tit | [05:29] |
mircea_popescu | not at all. | [05:29] |
ThickAsThieves | i want the "right" price | [05:29] |
mircea_popescu | can you like, not make so many strawmen ?! | [05:29] |
nubbins` | <+BlueMeanie4> thats what the anti-walmartians argument boils down to. they lack the terms to describe what is bothering them, so instead they are stuck paying for overpriced stuff from 'local' people <<< unadulterated gibberish, contains no information | [05:29] |
mircea_popescu | it's fine for them to be marketable, provided they're financial contracts. | [05:29] |
nubbins` | ThickAsThieves not bad | [05:29] |
mircea_popescu | not the cheapo, dysfunctional ersatz the "financial markets" currently use. | [05:30] |
mircea_popescu | every now and again a smarmy da walks into a smart judge's chambers with something about "a standard deal" and the judge tells him there's no such thing as "standard deals" | [05:30] |
BlueMeanie4 | i think there was a degrade in quality for some of these | [05:30] |
mircea_popescu | that's an important point for the da to digest, in his personal evolution from smarmy to useful. | [05:30] |
BlueMeanie4 | i live in a area that was heavily financed by these MBA mortgages | [05:30] |
mircea_popescu | no, there wasn't "a degrade of quality". | [05:30] |
mircea_popescu | just, some shit splurged out of the package. | [05:31] |
mircea_popescu | the package OF SHIT, mind you. | [05:31] |
BlueMeanie4 | its not securitization | [05:31] |
BlueMeanie4 | heres basically what happened | [05:31] |
BlueMeanie4 | they developed these things not very long ago, you might say 198-something maybe they began? | [05:31] |
mircea_popescu | bonus points if you mention "gaussian copulas" being calculated in excel spreadsheets by monkeys. | [05:31] |
BlueMeanie4 | prior to that futures and options were only for commodiites | [05:31] |
BlueMeanie4 | so most didnt know what they were | [05:32] |
BlueMeanie4 | but what they did see where amazing gains | [05:32] |
assbot | AMAZING COMPANY! | [05:32] |
BlueMeanie4 | and these gains were rationally derived mostly | [05:32] |
BlueMeanie4 | but then | [05:32] |
BlueMeanie4 | people got out of hand with it | [05:32] |
BlueMeanie4 | its like bitcoin | [05:32] |
mircea_popescu | ;;echo gives assbot a cookie. | [05:32] |
gribble | gives assbot a cookie. | [05:32] |
BlueMeanie4 | it worked, then the altcoin fuckfaces came in and pissed in the pool | [05:32] |
ThickAsThieves | rationally derived gains | [05:32] |
mircea_popescu | that's not really what happened, but anyway. | [05:32] |
BlueMeanie4 | sure it is | [05:32] |
BlueMeanie4 | take the MBAs | [05:33] |
nubbins` | BlueMeanie4: i take raw materials, add value to them, sell them. great, now i've got $x. i can put $x in the hands of walmart and buy 1kg of coffee, or i can put $x in the hands of a business owned by someone who lives here and buy 0.75kg of coffee. sure, with the first option i've got 0.25kg extra coffee, but my city has $(x-y) fewer dollars, where y is an almost-negligible sum. | [05:33] |
BlueMeanie4 | prior to the invention of such, mortgages were very hard to get | [05:33] |
nubbins` | how's this hard to understand? :/ | [05:33] |
mircea_popescu | what happened is that clinton decided niggers will become whites if they get free houses. they drew up legislation to implement this nonsense. | [05:33] |
mircea_popescu | the banks noticed hey, free money! | [05:33] |
ThickAsThieves | shouldnt morgages be hard to get? | [05:33] |
mircea_popescu | two decades later, the whole thing's ruined, as it will never get out of an ever increasing black hole of moral hazard | [05:33] |
BlueMeanie4 | TAT: technically no | [05:33] |
ThickAsThieves | depends on your reputation | [05:33] |
BlueMeanie4 | Mircea, thats not accurate | [05:34] |
BlueMeanie4 | youre taking the gonzo highly critical anti-view | [05:34] |
mircea_popescu | well we all got our stories as to "what really happened". i was merely illustrating the vastness of that area. | [05:34] |
BlueMeanie4 | if i were a mortgage investors | [05:35] |
BlueMeanie4 | i might choose to look at any criteria i want | [05:35] |
mircea_popescu | but regardless of what really happened : there's no way forward. it died, and that's that. bury it and move on, you ain't fixing the corpse. | [05:35] |
BlueMeanie4 | maybe i personally know that lets say romania is a great investment | [05:35] |
nubbins` | sure, and hotels in paris give themselves star-ratings based on the size of the lobby | [05:35] |
BlueMeanie4 | thus I buy undervalued credit risk | [05:35] |
BlueMeanie4 | for romanian mortgages | [05:35] |
mircea_popescu | how would you "personally know". is this stock picking on steroids ? | [05:35] |
nubbins` | this is the day of the unsolicited pm | [05:36] |
BlueMeanie4 | maybe you know someething about it | [05:36] |
BlueMeanie4 | thats how investing works | [05:36] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 like what ? like say, omg! like say you stop thinking in terms of "romania" wqhich doesn't exist anyway, and you oinly use because you gotta use something, | [05:36] |
mircea_popescu | and instead traverse the fucking wot according to some criteria that make sense to you and invest accordingly, IN PEOPLE ? | [05:36] |
mircea_popescu | whoa! | [05:36] |
BlueMeanie4 | ok lets say you think chicago is a horrible investment | [05:36] |
BlueMeanie4 | and the property is overvalued | [05:36] |
mircea_popescu | jus' wont let go huh. | [05:37] |
BlueMeanie4 | so you can short the underlying credit devices for the mortgages in chicago | [05:37] |
mircea_popescu | wtf is "chicago" ? | [05:37] |
nubbins` | i think it's some sort of bond | [05:37] |
BlueMeanie4 | and then the price to take out a mortgage for people in chicago goes up | [05:37] |
nubbins` | wait, not bond, band | [05:37] |
ThickAsThieves | <+nubbins`> this is the day of the unsolicited pm /// usagi is back. coincidence? | [05:37] |
mircea_popescu | man. suppose you're the sort of klutz that thinks "chicago is cool". i then knowing you think this sell you a house in "chicago" fgor a price twhich reflects your expectation, but in a location that satisfies my cost structure. | [05:37] |
mircea_popescu | and then we quibble about whether "it was really in chicago" | [05:37] |
nubbins` | ThickAsThieves actually now that you mention it, he was pm'ing me asking for voice earlier when i was afk | [05:38] |
mircea_popescu | well no, it wasn't, because "chicago" as such dun exist. | [05:38] |
nubbins` | no true chicagoan | [05:38] |
nubbins` | !up TheInterocitor | [05:38] |
* | assbot gives voice to TheInterocitor | [05:38] |
BlueMeanie4 | no idea what youre talking about but the idea here is to give people more control and choice over where there money goes | [05:39] |
TheInterocitor | ty | [05:39] |
mircea_popescu | nubbins` i think he pm'd everyone after being devoiced after being all territorial for some god-forsaken reason. | [05:39] |
mircea_popescu | so who're you TheInterocitor ? | [05:40] |
nubbins` | terri... why? | [05:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | if they want to juice up credit markets in chicago, they can | [05:40] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 if they can they must. | [05:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | currently the way the markets work are very elitist, | [05:40] |
ThickAsThieves | usagi is just mad that his tongue is poisoned with nonsense | [05:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | there are no choices really | [05:40] |
TheInterocitor | mircea_popescu: formerly RooK we met a few weeks back | [05:40] |
mircea_popescu | aha. | [05:40] |
TheInterocitor | I read logs here religiously | [05:40] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 yes, there are. really. | [05:40] |
BlueMeanie4 | can you buy your friends mortgage? | [05:41] |
mircea_popescu | sure. | [05:41] |
BlueMeanie4 | really? | [05:41] |
BlueMeanie4 | show me how | [05:41] |
mircea_popescu | what's to keep me ? | [05:41] |
mircea_popescu | i sign a gpg contract with him. case closed. | [05:41] |
BlueMeanie4 | oh you can make a private deal | [05:41] |
BlueMeanie4 | but capital requirements are large | [05:41] |
mircea_popescu | all deals are private deals. | [05:41] |
BlueMeanie4 | you need to have entire principal in hand | [05:41] |
nubbins` | what other type of de... ah, too slow | [05:41] |
TheInterocitor | As they should be | [05:41] |
mircea_popescu | lol | [05:41] |
mircea_popescu | BlueMeanie4 why should poor people have something to say about property and the dispositon thereof ? | [05:42] |
BlueMeanie4 | actually what im advocating benefits poor people | [05:42] |
nubbins` | surely you're not suggesting that one should have enough money to purchase the thing one is purchasing | [05:42] |
mircea_popescu | let them say things about their business, making hamburgers or filling tyres or w/e it is. | [05:42] |
TheInterocitor | Usually poor people that have no idea how to manage money ? | [05:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | you dont seem to recognize the power in these sorts of liquid markets | [05:43] |
mircea_popescu | you're right. i recognize there's no power there, just noise. | [05:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | the first and primary benefit is much more capital available | [05:43] |
mircea_popescu | bad capital. | [05:43] |
BlueMeanie4 | how is capital 'bad'? | [05:43] |
ThickAsThieves | a man can live on junk food | [05:44] |
mircea_popescu | lemme tell you how. i build a number of businesses in btc that relied on not dealing with idiots. they're still here, and worth whatever hundred million. | [05:44] |
ThickAsThieves | just not the same life | [05:44] |
mircea_popescu | everyone else tried to build businesses out of allowing idiots in. they all failed | [05:44] |
mircea_popescu | ThickAsThieves had first hand experience, among many others. | [05:44] |
mircea_popescu | so... that way, bad capital. the money of idiots is not useful. | [05:44] |
ThickAsThieves | good point, it was very much a junk food experience too | [05:45] |
nubbins` | it's useful once you sever the connection between the idiot and the money | [05:45] |
TheInterocitor | I trust ThickAsThieves, and Havelock ftw | [05:45] |
nubbins` | if the idiot still has hooks in it, though.. | [05:45] |
mircea_popescu | nubbins` yeah but that's called scamming. | [05:45] |
* | nubbins` nods sagely | [05:45] |
nubbins` | TheInterocitor you trust havelock? | [05:45] |
nubbins` | why? | [05:45] |
ThickAsThieves | age | [05:45] |
nubbins` | ah. | [05:45] |
TheInterocitor | Well havelock hasnt goxxed on me yet | [05:45] |
ThickAsThieves | it's an SEO factor | [05:45] |
mircea_popescu | i was thinking. "not scammed me yet" | [05:45] |
nubbins` | TheInterocitor: sure they have. | [05:46] |
TheInterocitor | ? | [05:46] |
nubbins` | let's see: their website was an insecure piece of shit with massive security holes that literally allowed third parties to drain accounts -- UNTIL LAST SUMMER | [05:46] |
mircea_popescu | but his didn't get drained. | [05:46] |
nubbins` | they let funds delist whenever they please, converting "shares" into "we'll send you a slip of paper" | [05:46] |
TheInterocitor | true | [05:46] |
mircea_popescu | but it never happened to something he owned. | [05:46] |
TheInterocitor | I was unaware of this | [05:47] |
ThickAsThieves | the relist things the opertaors owners delist | [05:47] |
ThickAsThieves | they* | [05:47] |
TheInterocitor | not like I have a substantial amount there | [05:47] |
nubbins` | they sign up the shittest funds in the universe and chew up all the listing fees to unspecified "expenses", ensuring the investorubes don't get any of it | [05:47] |
nubbins` | etc etc | [05:47] |
ThickAsThieves | basically you can fault havelock's quality, and there is where you can remove trust | [05:47] |

ThickAsThieves | like Morse | [05:51] |
mircea_popescu | ThickAsThieves yes. this one. | [05:51] |
mircea_popescu | TheInterocitor did it work ? | [05:51] |
TheInterocitor | http://trilema.com/2014/the-woes-of-altcoin-or-why-there-is-no-such-thing-as-cryptocurrencies | [05:51] |

TheInterocitor | I think so | [05:51] |
mircea_popescu | from what i hear from people trying such things, it rarely works in the sense of comprehension, but almost always works in the sense of making the op stfu. | [05:52] |
TheInterocitor | It did, and I thank you tremendously | [05:53] |
mircea_popescu | no bother. | [05:53] |
TheInterocitor | There can be only one | [05:53] |
mircea_popescu | in bitcoin ? you're kidding. there's been what, 6 or 7 jesuses ? at least 5 or so satoshis... | [05:54] |
mircea_popescu | once you fix the coins to 21mn tops, everything else can exist in immoderate, endless supply | [05:54] |
TheInterocitor | A fool and his money I suppose. Any money I make in alts just goes to btc. I have little interest in survival of them. | [05:55] |
ThickAsThieves | what's the point in being ANTI-altcoins anyway | [05:56] |
ThickAsThieves | i can see if you dont value them | [05:56] |
mircea_popescu | ThickAsThieves ever seen a cat when something moves irregularly ? | [05:56] |
ThickAsThieves | you saying humans have instinct?! | [05:56] |
mircea_popescu | course they do. how do you think all the drunk conceptions happen. | [05:57] |
TheInterocitor | xD | [05:57] |
ThickAsThieves | my wife says everything is learned | [05:57] |
ThickAsThieves | i say it's all the same shit | [05:57] |
ThickAsThieves | whether i learned or my ancestor did, who cares | [05:58] |
mircea_popescu | speaking oif such instinct. i dunno if you've ever had dogs, but they're beyond funny when virgin. because while the dog's instinct absolutely drives him to try and mount the bitch, the dog's brain itself doesn't comprehend wtf is happening | [05:58] |
mircea_popescu | and so they usually look all confused. | [05:58] |
nubbins` | "why am i fucking a pillow?" | [05:58] |
TheInterocitor | Great analogy | [05:58] |
ThickAsThieves | what would you define the instinct is of hating altcoins? fear of randomness? | [05:59] |
mircea_popescu | ThickAsThieves exactly like the cat's reaction to "unapprovable movement" | [05:59] |
TheInterocitor | No. They have nothing to offer that btc doesn't already do | [06:00] |
ThickAsThieves | so you hate monopoly money too? | [06:00] |

asciilifeform | give him w0rk | [06:00] |
mircea_popescu | the cat is driven by an attempt to reduce the cognitive load. things that move impredictably draw its attention and require it to spend brainpower. better if they stop moving. | [06:00] |
mircea_popescu | same exact thing here. monopoly money is not the same because it's not "in their space" | [06:01] |

asciilifeform | some of what you see 'fuzz' around the edges is actually diffraction patterns that form in your own eye. | [06:44] |
