davout basically is saying that one of the addresses included in the double payout got paid twice ~11 btc and has over 50 btc in pending bet payouts [06:37]

punkman davout, makes sense [07:06]
punkman are you gonna look for older double-payouts too? [07:10]
davout probably not [07:12]
davout if bitbet made it until now without this problem, it's probably a good indicator that such a thing never happened before [07:13]
punkman pretty sure it did, or maybe I'm remembering double-dividends [07:14]
davout I'm going to check that everything that was paid against currently unpaid/unresolved/open bets matches the cash mp sent me, and if so there won't really be a point in checking that [07:14]
davout double-dividends is something that's much easier to fix :) [07:14]

danielpbarron sucks for bettors who reused addresses, huh [08:50]
davout danielpbarron: howso? [09:01]
davout some address 1foo got double-paid by X btc [09:01]
davout same address has unpaid winnings for Y btc [09:02]
davout actual payable claim would be Y - (X/2) [09:02]
danielpbarron i get it, but if 1foo had never used that address for payout again, you'd never know which address to withhold from [09:07]
BingoBoingo Aha, I knew it would happen, but I didn't know it would happen this early. The reciever is now burdened with CHOICE. [09:08]

danielpbarron why should anyone send coin back? as far as they should be concerned the extra payment had nothing to do with bitbet [09:29]
asciilifeform actually i have nfi, did bbet use a published addr for pays? [09:30]
punkman asciilifeform: no [09:31]
asciilifeform and in any case it was pretty clear that it was double send, mircea_popescu published the tx [09:31]
asciilifeform so this excuse was not available, danielpbarron [09:31]
asciilifeform and yes, they had no obligation to send it back, etc. but if they had, there would be no reactor fire, and a still-operating bbet. that isn't about to be auctioned off to spammerz. [09:34]

asciilifeform danielpbarron: how's that [09:34]
danielpbarron it was a matter of principle, not so much a lack of money [09:35]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: the trigger was the money. [09:36]
BingoBoingo Way to repay bitbet was crystal clear too. Propose 1+1=2 and bet on no. [09:36]
danielpbarron or just send into any closed bet [09:36]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: nonsense, folks would bet on yes and win. danielpbarron has it. [09:36]
danielpbarron heh i'd prolly have bet on yes lol [09:37]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: But the 0-conf bet would have been wrong before approval. 0-conf Bets made the BitBet mixer go around [09:37]

punkman davout, what's gonna happen with bbet shares? [09:47]
davout punkman: the idea of a receivership is that you sell assets, use the cash to pay outstanding claims, the rest, if any, goes to shareholder [09:48]
davout *shareholders [09:48]
davout and regarding S.BBET specifically there's 3.2 (a) reading "The representatives of BitBet have elected to divide BitBet into 10`000`000 (ten million) equal non-voting shares with a total equity value of 100 BTC (0.00001 BTC each). In the event of liquidation or breach of this Agreement they solemnly promise and warrant to repay all investors holding shares at this minimum value." [09:51]
punkman what happens to "minimum value" if the liquidation nets less than 100 btc though? [09:54]
asciilifeform punkman: they pay from own pockets? [09:56]

PeterL hmm davout are you really going to withhold bet payouts to bettors who were unlucky enough to receive free money from mp's personal funds << so if person A used separate addresses for bets and person B used the same address on multiple bets, A gets more money and B gets less? [10:25]
solrodar both bettors have a moral obligation to return the money, it's just that one of them is identifiable and the other one isn't [10:26]
danielpbarron solrodar, what moral obligation?? [10:27]
assbot BitBet Stole ~$7,000 from me (10 BTC) ... ( http://bit.ly/1QCqtie ) [10:27]

shinohai danielpbarron got to admit things were simpler in times when decisions involved swords. [10:31]
danielpbarron 1 Kings 3:16 Now two women who were harlots came to the king, and stood before him. 17 And one woman said, "O my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house. 18 Then it happened, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together; no one was with us in the house, except the two of us in the house. 19 And this woman's son died in the nig [10:32]
danielpbarron 22 Then the other woman said, "No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son." [10:32]
danielpbarron And the first woman said, "No! But the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son." [10:32]
danielpbarron Thus they spoke before the king. 23 And the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one'; and the other says, 'No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'" 24 Then the king said, "Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king. 25 And the king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other." [10:33]
danielpbarron 26 Then the woman whose son was living spoke to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son; and she said, "O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!" But the other said, "Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him." 27 So the king answered and said, "Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him; she is his mother." 28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the ki [10:34]
PeterL It does not matter who the true mother was, the one who wanted him to live was deemed a better mother [10:34]
PeterL but what does this have to do with returning mistakenly gifted coins? [10:35]
solrodar I was wondering the same thing [10:35]
solrodar I'm sure I could find some law about unjust enrichment in the bible if I looked hard enough [10:35]
danielpbarron please do (look hard) [10:36]
solrodar no, because nobody here except you gives a crap what the bible says [10:36]
danielpbarron you still haven't explained what's moral about returning the money [10:37]
solrodar you try to pay your rent, but make a typo and send the money to me instead [10:38]
solrodar should I send it back, minus a small fee for my inconvenience? [10:38]
danielpbarron have you stolen anything? [10:38]
PeterL I would call it charitable to return the money [10:39]
danielpbarron if it's charitable to return then it isn't immoral to keep [10:39]
solrodar I would call it Christian :P [10:39]
danielpbarron you who doesn't believe the Bible are going to say what someone who beileves in the Bible should do? [10:40]
PeterL lol [10:40]
solrodar seriously, I think you should return it whether you believe in the bible or not [10:40]
punkman #bible-assets [10:40]
danielpbarron I was not the recipient of the double funds, but if I had been I would surely keep it [10:41]
PeterL has mp asked people to return it? [10:41]
solrodar my argument is that a mistaken payment may have changed possession of the money, but not ownership of it [10:42]
solrodar since the sender never intended to transfer ownership to that person [10:42]
solrodar but I know some people say this doesn't apply to bitcoin [10:42]
davout pretty much everyone with a few neurons left actually [10:43]
solrodar does it apply to anything? [10:43]
danielpbarron there is no ownership in bitcoin, except that satoshi owns all of it [10:45]
danielpbarron you know a private key, someone else might know that private key. neither owns it [10:45]

mircea_popescu so yes, i can appreciate the sentiment, infantile such as it is. guy means well, i'm sure. but in point of fact he is so far removed from relevancy in any conceivable approach to the issues, that there's really very little to be said. [10:47]
mircea_popescu and speaking of this, most everyone involved^H^H^H^H^H^H inloved with bitcoin should insistently watch and rewatch malena, because it is EXACTLY the situation. [10:47]
mircea_popescu yes, the prepubescent boy is in love ; but what's he going to do for the adult woman ? have her WAIT ? [10:47]
solrodar danielpbarron: But you evidently apply the same principle to fiat bank accounts as well. Anything else? Your dog has just jumped in my window, is it my dog now? [10:48]
danielpbarron where have I done that? [10:49]
solrodar my above question re rent [10:49]
danielpbarron i guess you don't own your fiats either; the fed does or something [10:51]
PeterL solrodar if you sign a statement "I give my dog to danielpbarron", then yes it is his dog, and if you later say oops, I meant to give it to bob, then it is up to DPB to give the dog up, but he does not have to [10:55]
solrodar and a bitcoin transaction is equivalent to such a signed statement? [10:56]
davout solrodar: strictly [10:56]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438364 << and you're going to ask the fellow to submit proof that he didn't... sell the address ? or etc ? [10:56]
assbot Logged on 23-03-2016 09:34:25; davout: more generally, it seems an important thing to me that bettor claims should be adjusted by the existence of a a previous double-payout, if any [10:56]
PeterL the bitcoin did not just move accidentally, bitcoin moves when somebody signs a statement "I own this bitcoin, I am sending it to address X" [10:56]
mircea_popescu solrodar no, because while the dog might be your dog, bitcoin may not actually be your bitcoin. [10:57]
PeterL that is the whole point of bitcoin, to definitively establish who owns it at all times! [10:57]
mircea_popescu you may at most control some. [10:57]
PeterL well, own, controll, whatever you want to call it [10:57]
mircea_popescu but other than that - nobody has any title over any bitcoin nor could anyone acquire any title over any bitcoin. [10:57]
mircea_popescu PeterL the difference happens to be rather important from a legal perspective. [10:57]
mircea_popescu "you know, react, dissolve, whatever you wanna call it" sorta thing. [10:58]
* mrottenkolber has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [10:58]
solrodar so we say mircea_popescu controlled a large quantity of bitcoin, and had agreed to consider a certain quantity of it the property of bitbet, but that concept of property does not go beyond any agreement which may have existed between him and bitbet? [10:59]
mircea_popescu quite. [11:00]
davout http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438489 <<< i'd argue the notion of "a fellow" is not relevant in this context on one hand, are you also seriously proposing that "selling a private key" is even possible? [11:00]
assbot Logged on 23-03-2016 13:51:32; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438364 << and you're going to ask the fellow to submit proof that he didn't... sell the address ? or etc ? [11:00]
davout the moment you sell a private key it ceases to be private, and therefore ceases to be a private key [11:00]
mircea_popescu davout i am not proposing anything. you are proposing to introduce some assumptions, which seem ridiculous on the face, and are invited to support them. [11:00]
mircea_popescu so ? [11:00]
mircea_popescu fine, if you absolutely must : suppose owner made an agreement with a third party that the nth txn goes to x and the nth+1 goes to y. are they now bound to revise their agreements on the basis of how you may wish to liberally reinterpret the protocol ? [11:01]
mircea_popescu this is the ESSENCE of powerrangering. [11:01]
mircea_popescu it is also very visibly, and very risibly, reaction to bitcoin, which is to say a transparent attempt to exactly prevent specifically what bitcoin does, [11:02]
mircea_popescu which is, seal things in the past in such a way they aren't revisable in the future. [11:02]
solrodar mircea_popescu: aren't you the one that always argues that there are no people, only keys? In which case there's nothing wrong with recovering money from keys. If the key is controlled by multiple people, that's their problem. [11:02]
mircea_popescu solrodar you may not make assumptions. [11:03]
mircea_popescu certainly not after the fact. [11:03]
davout mircea_popescu: you haven't provided any support for the notion of "a fellow" that you introduced, or did i miss it? [11:04]
mircea_popescu you introduced it, really. but i restated the issue more formally and without reference to it. [11:05]
solrodar if any obligation exists between bitbet and a bettor, the bettor is identified by his key and nothing more [11:06]
davout mircea_popescu: i guess i did when i said 'bettor' [11:07]
mircea_popescu if you are going to make other determinations than who won a bet, might as well put a 50% tax on the richest 10% or w/e the french fashion is these days. [11:07]
mircea_popescu give more to the poor, they're worthier. [11:07]
davout bettor's an address though, and claims are bound to addresses, not people, are they? [11:07]
mircea_popescu this is an eery rehash of the earlier thing re "bitcoin is addresses / no it's txn" where jurov massacred me. [11:08]
mircea_popescu funny how everything is in the fucking log. dja recall it davout ? [11:08]

mircea_popescu anyway, take it from a software design perspective. you are proposing to change the stateless parser (bet accepted) -> (bet resolved) -> (bet paid out) into a stateful and undefined (bet accepted) -> (bet resolved) -> (???) -> (some thing paid according to some rules you can't know) [11:11]

mircea_popescu much like the tmsr license, bitcoin is deliberately constructed a certain way to destroy fiat notions of this world, not to maintain them nor to permit their maintenance. [11:26]
PeterL block reward is payment for work of processing block of transactions, seems justified to me [11:26]
mircea_popescu that it seems justified to you may make a difference when you're king of the world and can promise me to appoint all judges forevermore to comply with your notions. [11:27]
mircea_popescu until then - it's just another unbound promise. [11:28]
mircea_popescu promise here being a term of art standing in opposition with protocol. [11:28]
solrodar if you reject all notions of justice then this entire liquidation thing becomes meaningless [11:29]
mircea_popescu not so. it becomes meaningless to fiat twerps. [11:29]
mircea_popescu it is perfectly meaningful in its own proper terms, which is why tmsr prevails over any pretend fiat sovereign : [11:30]
PeterL If block reward is unjust, what is a just way of distributing coin? Or is that even possible? [11:30]
mircea_popescu they're meaningful to us, if risible ; we're not meaningful nor can be rendered meaningful for them. [11:30]
mircea_popescu PeterL what is the correct way of cheering your mother up with a tin of maltova and and a chunk of cloth ? [11:30]
PeterL wtf? [11:31]
mircea_popescu see log. [11:31]
davout mircea_popescu: that way does sound like a good way! [11:31]
PeterL saw log, still wtf? [11:31]
mircea_popescu davout it worked, that time, but i wouldn't rely on it! [11:31]
mircea_popescu PeterL do you find people are often able to help you when your problem is "wtf?" ? [11:32]
PeterL not expecting help, just completely lost as to where your question connects to mine? [11:32]
mircea_popescu fine, if you must : your question is not even a question in that it doesn't make any sense. [11:33]
davout maltova and chunks of cloth not so much... desire to cheer others up, i'd say why not [11:33]
PeterL more of an "I have no words" than a problem [11:33]
mircea_popescu dun sweat it. [11:33]
mircea_popescu davout hey, i can appreciate the sentiment. the equations, however, stay cold. [11:34]
solrodar http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438533 << there was no precedent for liquidation either, yet you had quite specific ideas about how it should be done [11:34]

mircea_popescu it is the actual threshold of maturity, when the agent comprehends that some things must be done because of themselves and irrespective of their will. usually this discovery came to young people who were in love - but society has meanwhile "progressed" past that. [11:35]
mircea_popescu solrodar that is true. [11:35]
solrodar didn't those ideas come from your sense of justice, equity or whatever you call it? [11:40]
mircea_popescu lol k. what you're doing is roughly equivalent to coming into my house, attempting to give a name to one of my women and then proposing to exchange her for your own of the same name. ty but... [11:42]
mircea_popescu let her stand nude, it's more becoming. [11:42]
solrodar you know, a lot of your metaphors are stupid but that one almost reaches the level of a zen koan [11:45]

mircea_popescu davout i'm sure you knew what you were getting into. [11:56]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform not the issue. the issue is, can you assume or can't you assume. and the result is you can't assume. [11:56]
davout yeah absolutely [11:56]
asciilifeform unless i misarithmetize catastrophically, davout is stuck with giving the bettors a haircut. question is ~which~. will there be 'communism', where they all bleed equally? or 'judgement day', when the scumbags bleed first. [11:57]
mircea_popescu you got the parts switched tho! [11:57]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: ? [11:57]
mircea_popescu will there be judgement day, when all there is is dark, or will there be "communism" aka "christianity" aka a hunchback god tries to create a world just like he's seen in his sane, healthy brother's hands ? [11:57]
mircea_popescu (and if anyone's unfamiliar with the hunchback god, plox to take a break and read up on teh gnosis. it'll be good for you.) [11:58]
asciilifeform i would like to smoke the necessary dope to see mircea_popescu's pov here, where the scum who got paid twice had the temerity to whine about delayed payouts while sitting on their unearned windfall, but then somehow deserve to be paid a THIRD TIME [11:59]
asciilifeform nubbins`: no [11:59]
mircea_popescu deserve dun enter into i. [11:59]
mircea_popescu it* [11:59]
mircea_popescu and in the interest of not fucking up everyhing in one fell swoop of well meaning idiocy, "deserve"'d better not enter into it. [12:00]

assbot Logged on 23-03-2016 14:01:40; solrodar: if any obligation exists between bitbet and a bettor, the bettor is identified by his key and nothing more [12:01]
asciilifeform there are no people in the universe other than the keys [12:01]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform see, this is how professional life goes. you are paid well to sit in silence in a room and pick the right thread under a microscope ; i am paid even better to sit in the din of the market and pick the right thread with bare eyes. [12:02]
mircea_popescu now tell me re deserve again. [12:02]
asciilifeform and introducing 'what if there were some agreement re: n+1th etc' is the place where unwarranted assumptions are made [12:02]
mircea_popescu and how is that ? [12:02]
asciilifeform keys are people, people are keys. [12:02]
mircea_popescu if this were the case one'd get one key issued with the ssn. [12:02]
asciilifeform if meatbags were abusing bitcoin by sharing a private key, they earned their hell. [12:03]
mircea_popescu bitcoin addresses aren't acceptable proof of identity (such as for instance through that "signing" kludge) specifically for this reason. [12:03]
mircea_popescu again - earned dun enter into it. [12:03]
asciilifeform but rsa is ? [12:03]
mircea_popescu conventionally, atm, it is. [12:03]
mircea_popescu mostly because - not bitcoin. [12:03]
asciilifeform from my perch, they suck ~equally. [12:03]
mircea_popescu and so they do. [12:03]
mircea_popescu man and woman also suck equally, one has the children the other doesn't. [12:04]
asciilifeform this is an argument ? [12:04]
mircea_popescu no, your "from my perch, they suck ~equally" is no argument, just color. [12:04]
mircea_popescu things may suck equally, so what of it. MERIT STILL DUN ENTER INTO IT! [12:04]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438527 << i can see this. but we got there already, are already inserted on that stake, regardless of what happens, because the bettors ~will~ get a haircut [12:04]
assbot Logged on 23-03-2016 14:06:24; mircea_popescu: anyway, take it from a software design perspective. you are proposing to change the stateless parser (bet accepted) -> (bet resolved) -> (bet paid out) into a stateful and undefined (bet accepted) -> (bet resolved) -> (???) -> (some thing paid according to some rules you can't know) [12:04]
asciilifeform they already will get a ??? --> something paid according to some rules they can't know [12:05]
asciilifeform because the damn thing br0k3. [12:05]
mircea_popescu there's something to this. [12:05]
asciilifeform bbet is functioning in what we call in the civilized world 'нештатный режим' [12:05]
asciilifeform like car with the wheels off. [12:06]
asciilifeform or engine on fire. [12:06]
asciilifeform the question is not 'whether bettors will be shafted' but ~with what kind of shaft' [12:07]
asciilifeform ~ [12:08]
mircea_popescu "the simplest" [12:08]
mircea_popescu well, it is also possible bitbet sells well and makes the issue moot. [12:09]
asciilifeform it is even possible that coin will fall from the sky into the right addr and make it moot... [12:09]
asciilifeform like it fell upon the scum [12:09]
mircea_popescu so it is. why so much haet anyway [12:10]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438635 << one of the ways we get komyooonisms is that 'divide it all among the scum equally' is 'THE SIMPLEST' algo in the world. [12:11]
assbot Logged on 23-03-2016 15:03:51; mircea_popescu: "the simplest" [12:11]
asciilifeform abdicates all judgement. [12:11]
asciilifeform mathematically - easiest. etc. [12:11]
mircea_popescu can you elaborate on this communism identification, cuz i dun see it ? [12:11]
asciilifeform pretending that unequals are equals. [12:12]
mircea_popescu let's maybe start with, what is your definition of communism ? [12:12]
asciilifeform see above. [12:12]
mircea_popescu so really equalitarianism ? not, "from each according to his wallet, to each according to his needs" sorta thing ? [12:12]
asciilifeform the bettors are ~not~ all identical in their misfortune. [12:12]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: well these are connected, no ? [12:12]
mircea_popescu im not sure! [12:13]
PeterL connected only if you assume needs are equal, right? [12:14]
asciilifeform they are separable in the strict sense where the thermodynamics has two phases [12:14]
asciilifeform the dekulakization phase, and the steady state [12:14]
asciilifeform (the latter, a mythical animal) [12:14]
* asciilifeform momentarily stunned by mircea_popescu being confessedly unsure of something!1111 [12:14]
mircea_popescu i think this angle is interesting and should be pursued. so asciilifeform : do you suppose that the harem is intrinsically communist, if and in that the women are equals ? [12:15]
mircea_popescu !s from:mircea not sure [12:15]

asciilifeform l0l! [12:15]
mircea_popescu hehe [12:15]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i do not rightfully have a firm enough grip on harem to answer. [12:15]
asciilifeform i know more about the bacteria that live on the bottom of the sea. [12:16]
mircea_popescu ok... let's see. hm. [12:16]
mircea_popescu do you have two friends ? [12:16]
asciilifeform sure. [12:16]
mircea_popescu if you go eating together, is it communism if you go wherever you all agree to go ? [12:16]
asciilifeform nah, that's just good ol'fashioned agreement. [12:17]
mircea_popescu but you're unequals that pretend to equality ? [12:17]
mircea_popescu in short, yes, i suspect your take on communism may actually require alienation outright. [12:17]
asciilifeform for the evening. [12:17]
mircea_popescu but it IS communism ? [12:17]
asciilifeform if we seal ourselves in a cave and take turns eating own limbs, THEN - yes. [12:17]
mircea_popescu so what's the threshold ? [12:17]
asciilifeform what's the threshhold for jumping off cliff ? is it when you splat? when you're in freefall? when you stop the car? when brushing your teeth that morning, thinking 'cliff..' ??? [12:18]
mircea_popescu not a question without merit. [12:18]
asciilifeform this is not a question having a useful answer though. [12:18]
mircea_popescu so how are you going to be a lord ? [12:18]
asciilifeform it is your mathematical 'pole' from 2 days ago [12:18]
asciilifeform straddling the asymptote. [12:18]
asciilifeform being a lord, as i see it, is not about balancing pencils on their points, but pushing the pencil in your CHOSEN direction and ~standing by~ the decision for the rest of your life. [12:19]
mircea_popescu that's being a soldier. [12:19]
asciilifeform is it so different ? [12:19]
mircea_popescu a flattering view, in its innocent purity, but not how practice ever works that i've seen [12:19]
asciilifeform i suppose i am then a soldier. [12:19]
mircea_popescu well, it tends to become. [12:20]
mircea_popescu so then how do you discern when another's crossed the pole, which practically speaking is an event horizon ? [12:20]
mircea_popescu through prayer ? [12:20]
asciilifeform in the end, only sure when you hear the splat. [12:20]
asciilifeform but you PUSH the pencil. [12:20]
mircea_popescu hm. [12:20]
asciilifeform take a stand. it is one of the things i always appreciated about mircea_popescu !11 [12:20]
asciilifeform that he DID this. [12:20]
asciilifeform many times. [12:20]
mircea_popescu why thank you. [12:21]
mircea_popescu but the problem remains, i have nfi how to dispose of the communism charge in that place. [12:21]
asciilifeform that's really what ~will is~. [12:21]
asciilifeform you do it by picking up the sword and saying 'eh no you buggers ain't equal' [12:21]
mircea_popescu no, that's how you dispose of the MATTER once you disposed of the communism charge on the side of "yep, s oit is" [12:22]
asciilifeform but it is not my place to tell mircea_popescu (or davout , who in this case is holding the scalpel ) exactly how. [12:22]
mircea_popescu atm i can't see that it is and dunno how to completely argue it isn't. [12:22]
mircea_popescu seems to me that if you have nine girls and one penis, fucking each ~weekly is not in any sense communism, but just as you say, good ol' agreement & conjugal peace. [12:23]
asciilifeform note that sultan did not do this.. [12:24]
mircea_popescu so it is. [12:24]
mircea_popescu but note that the sultan was an idiot. [12:24]
mircea_popescu (and the mythical rashid that wasn't - did do this.) [12:24]
asciilifeform again, this is far from my planet, i cannot rightfully propose to judge the sultan. [12:25]
mircea_popescu is it communism if you have two hammers with slightly different utilities that you use indiferently ? [12:25]
asciilifeform but the bettors who kept their windfall and then whined about being 'cheated', they are plainly scum and the wrath of ragnarok is theirs to be suffered ~first~ by any reasonable justice, imho. [12:25]
mircea_popescu to put the matter bluntly : is it communism to round ? [12:25]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform again - attempting to interpose yourself between the perceptibles and sophia is a very expensive and ultimately self destructive desire. [12:26]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: possibly. [12:26]
mircea_popescu not that i know anyone not guilty of it, heck, it's my cardinal sin i'm discovering. [12:26]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform would you say a man is a communist who goes to the casino every weekend and plays either blackjack or roulette as he feels like it that day, because really, the house edge is not the same ? [12:27]
asciilifeform which is why i'm not envying davout his job. [12:28]
mircea_popescu is the man who doesn't drive across town to buy milk a dime a gallon cheaper a communist ? [12:28]
trinque I think this apt building is communist for having shut off my water today to fix some pipes elsewhere in the building. [12:28]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: iirc the christians called it 'sloth' [12:29]
asciilifeform and every living thing is in its heart, on a bad day, 'communist' [12:29]
asciilifeform see also the proverbial 'ты умри сегодня а я завтра'. [12:29]
mircea_popescu but this is utter nonsense! [12:30]
asciilifeform not the roulette, i mean [12:31]
mircea_popescu remarkably, i had found this in the states, you know, people from the generation that "anti american activities", ie, still had a fighting bone in their body, WOULD engage in this patently insane behaviour. [12:31]
asciilifeform the fundamental 'communist' act is to ~lean on the group~ [12:31]
mircea_popescu now that is very much how i conceive hte notion. [12:31]
asciilifeform aha! [12:31]
mircea_popescu which is how solrodar's slavegirl exchange ended up rebuffed. da fuck do i care to import some group bs. [12:32]

asciilifeform is that the folks who kept the coin LEANED-on-the-group. [12:38]
asciilifeform at least after mircea_popescu made public the tx ids. [12:38]
mircea_popescu you can't start coloring coins. seriously. [12:39]
mircea_popescu it's anathema. [12:39]
asciilifeform i was not the one who printed the tx... [12:39]
asciilifeform and if there is a colour, i point to it. [12:39]
asciilifeform why should i live in a fictional universe of oughts. [12:39]
asciilifeform when there is a colour - there is one. [12:40]
mircea_popescu if you're going to drop the bitcoin scalar in favour of a bitcoin-justice vector, there is really no fucking point to even bother, just visa. [12:40]
asciilifeform when there is a fella with a scalpel, you ~already~ made a small visa. [12:40]
asciilifeform that is why there is no happy ending to this tale. [12:40]
mircea_popescu his scalpel is to cut in the corporation, not in the fucking world. [12:40]
mircea_popescu what if i come to the kitchen one morning and discover girl cooking burned... the color blue. [12:40]
mircea_popescu everwhere, permanently. wtf. [12:40]
mircea_popescu the cold truth of the matter being, of course, that bitcoin's an imponerable that obviously can't be cut. but when you, the sleeping butterfly that dreams himself lao tzi, in your dream believe to have cut into it, [12:42]
mircea_popescu the result is that your dream diverges from reality by that much, and it's not clear breaches OF THAT NATURE can ever be healed. [12:42]
mircea_popescu short of direct divine intervention or somesuch. [12:42]
asciilifeform but it will cut how it wants, and it not mathematically deterministic/predictable, and will answer to no one. [12:42]
asciilifeform the tragedy was precisely in the circumstances which produced the scalpel hand. not in who will be cut, that is secondary. [12:43]

mircea_popescu i recommend blindness, because i fucking well aren't going to be supplying all the candles now required or in the future needed to look in all possible or conceivable dark crevices ; nor do i see who ever could. [12:56]
asciilifeform i can see this. [12:56]

mircea_popescu and no - it moterfucking IS NOT "our obligation to try anyway, mp, try, try". [12:57]

ben_vulpes mhm. [14:32]

asciilifeform whatever repayment obligation bbet has to anyone at all, it was and remains to ADDRESSES, not to 'people', 'persons', or whatever other old world claptrap [15:03]
asciilifeform privkeys == people, for any sane purpose. [15:03]
asciilifeform and given that the only signatures establishing the obligation were btc tx-en, that is to whom it owed. [15:04]
* joesmoe has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [15:04]
asciilifeform i can't see any hole in this wall. [15:04]
kakobrekla from the first paragraph of the bb faq: The beneficiary address is never changed under any circumstances. Please make sure you own it! [15:04]
asciilifeform aha!! [15:04]
asciilifeform ergo btc privkeys ARE the playing characters in the game [15:05]
asciilifeform the only moral entities for whatever purpose. [15:05]
asciilifeform and to try to infer or posit people or whatnot 'behind' the keys, is to introduce chess pieces to a card game [15:05]
ben_vulpes sure. [15:06]
asciilifeform so what then does ben_vulpes give as argument re why the double-send should not count against the obligations remaining ? [15:07]
ben_vulpes kakobrekla: nowhere in there does it say "if we overpay and can identify the people to whom we overpaid, we'll clawback funds from those addresses." [15:07]
asciilifeform not 'claw back' [15:07]
asciilifeform but declare obligation settled. [15:07]
asciilifeform which it IS. [15:07]
asciilifeform by that amount. [15:07]
asciilifeform they were PAID. [15:08]
ben_vulpes eerily reminiscient of the commerce clause. "in addition to these explicit terms in our favor, we may decide in the future to do other things." [15:08]
ben_vulpes so was my ticket to con3, by mthreat. [15:08]

ben_vulpes asciilifeform: now credits the howling monkeys outside of the wot with accomplishing things? [15:13]
kakobrekla if mp would rm -rf private keys, his linux distro would be the murderer? [15:13]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: monkeys accomplish plenty. just not anything you would want. [15:14]
asciilifeform e.g., tearing apart jungle temple, burying the remains - in shit, banana peels. [15:14]
ben_vulpes moreover how does one know that any commenter on bitbet is a bettor? are they 'signing' things with the appropriate privkeys now? [15:14]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: you neither know, nor need to. [15:14]
asciilifeform the obligation was to the ADDRESSES. [15:14]
asciilifeform they betted by transmitting a tx. [15:14]
asciilifeform the beneficiary addr and the bet amount are literally the ~only~ things we know for certain about them. [15:15]
asciilifeform the comments - could all be fictions, yes. [15:15]
asciilifeform but if any of them had seen it fit to return so much as one satoshi of the doublesend - i assume mircea_popescu, kakobrekla, or davout would have mentioned. [15:16]
asciilifeform (i could be wrong) [15:16]
kakobrekla i havent noticed anything that would point to that [15:17]
asciilifeform mega-unsurprise. [15:17]
kakobrekla anyway, care to poke a hole in the rm -rf case? [15:18]
asciilifeform yes. [15:18]
asciilifeform these are supposed to be ~people~ [15:18]
kakobrekla i thought they were just addresses [15:18]
asciilifeform well yes. [15:18]
asciilifeform if we can have them be just addresses, the obligation was to ADDRESSES and is SATISFIED [15:19]
asciilifeform because they were paid. just slightly earlier than ought to have been. [15:19]
asciilifeform and partially. [15:19]
asciilifeform whereas if we paint them as 'people,' they then had a ~choice~ re: what to do with the coin. [15:20]
asciilifeform you can't be a 'people' when you feel like it, and then a 'mechanism' when it suits you. [15:20]
kakobrekla the prepayment is separate issue here [15:20]
* trinque (~undata@unaffiliated/undata) has joined #bitcoin-assets [15:21]
asciilifeform say i owe mircea_popescu 100 btc. [15:22]
asciilifeform and i have a vorpal sword, worth 150 [15:22]
asciilifeform i forget it on a park bench. he finds it. [15:22]
asciilifeform i ask 'gimme back me sword, mircea_popescu ' [15:22]
kakobrekla the fuck up is in the forgetting it on the bench. [15:23]
asciilifeform he might. but only after i pay the 100. [15:23]
PeterL but if any of them had seen it fit to return so much as one satoshi of the doublesend - i assume mircea_popescu, kakobrekla, or davout would have mentioned. << If I did want to return part of doublespend, where would I send it and be sure MP does not just pocket it? [15:23]
asciilifeform PeterL: read any bbet statement, you will find 'gracious donations' [15:24]
asciilifeform PeterL: so you know EXACTLY how to put coin in bbet pocket, it was never a secret. [15:24]
asciilifeform not to mention that ~any~ btc can be sent back to originator addr!! [15:25]
asciilifeform note that i am not arguing that this is a moral obligation [15:25]
kakobrekla the originator would not necessarily show up in donations and not sure if anyone would notice. [15:25]
asciilifeform merely that it counts against your debt. [15:25]
asciilifeform by any sane reckoning. [15:25]
PeterL but if I return this doublespend, is it still going to be taken out of my other bets the site is holding? [15:26]
asciilifeform nubbins`: your contention is that it was impossible for the windfall recipients to return it ? [15:26]
asciilifeform nubbins`: the separate-entities thing [15:27]
kakobrekla http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2016#1438921 < or to put it in another way 'bitcoin is an inanimate fucking object' [15:27]
assbot Logged on 23-03-2016 18:13:33; asciilifeform: these are supposed to be ~people~ [15:27]
asciilifeform kakobrekla: aha! so treat the obligation as to the inanimate object: the ADDRESS. [15:27]
kakobrekla asciilifeform i agree with that. [15:28]
asciilifeform address was owed B btc at time T if condition C. [15:28]
asciilifeform it was given B - e at time T - q. Now, condition C. [15:28]
asciilifeform so it is owed e. [15:28]
kakobrekla asciilifeform but that also makes it clear who is to blame for bbet shutdown. and not its not the bettors who got two payments. [15:28]
asciilifeform nubbins`: except that it is not external. [15:29]
asciilifeform what i'm saying is that obligation was from bbet-addr to bettor-addr. [15:30]
asciilifeform and not from imaginary animals sitting at the controls. [15:30]
asciilifeform nubbins`: i see what you did there. [15:30]
PeterL sounds like ripple [15:31]
asciilifeform nubbins`: both payments were quite clearly 'from bbet' tho. [15:32]
asciilifeform from the perspective of the recipients [15:32]
asciilifeform say they had received only ONE of them. [15:32]
asciilifeform either one. [15:32]
asciilifeform they would consider themselves fairly repaid ? [15:32]
asciilifeform or not ? [15:32]
asciilifeform tell me that they would not, then you will have an argument [15:32]
kakobrekla i find the distinction quite irrelevant [15:32]
asciilifeform if either ALONE would have satisfied the creditors, they were then idempotent ! [15:34]
asciilifeform ergo both 'from bbet' for any conceivable purpose. [15:34]
asciilifeform and i have yet to read of a bbet user who wrote in, 'fuck you! i got my 22.222 btc but i can't be sure from whom and for what! pay up!' [15:34]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: you can safely skip the preceding thread, it is a nubsism [15:37]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: though oddly enough he was arguing your side of the medal ! [15:37]
jurov "assign credit/debt to addresses" is kinda slippery slope, why not go beyond it and try to analyze and put together addresses in wallets and assign credit/debt to these? [15:38]
asciilifeform nubbins`: what am i to do, half the folks i talk to killfiled other half [15:38]
PeterL nubbins` what if MP was travelling when bet resolves, pays somebody to send txn to bet winners, do those payments not count because they don't come directly from bbet wallet? [15:39]
PeterL just hypothetical trying to understand your position [15:39]
jurov asciilifeform: really, since bitcoin makes whole wallets analyzable, why not apply the blame to whole wallet? moar justice!!! [15:39]
PeterL bitcoin is fungible, it does not matter to the recipient where it came from [15:40]
asciilifeform jurov: this is a leap into neverneverland. but operating using the ORIGINAL premise of bbet, where coin is owed to ADDRESS, is not. [15:40]
asciilifeform address - was paid! it was promised 'being paid', not 'be paid with metadata such-and-such' [15:41]
asciilifeform i don't recall any metadata. [15:41]
asciilifeform having been promised. [15:41]
asciilifeform if i promise that you will be 100btc richer tomorrow, and i choose to pay you by dropping it from an airplane into your chimney, so long as no one else contests that it was i who dropped - the debt is paid. [15:42]
asciilifeform nubbins`: no, because i had no commerce with him. [15:43]
asciilifeform nubbins`: BUT if i owed you 100, and he dropped 100, and i say 'i paid', and kakobrekla does not contest this claim - you've been paid. [15:43]
asciilifeform nubbins`: then irreconcilably different premises, aha, and i have no moar wordz. [15:44]
PeterL has anybody added up how much the doublepsent addresses have left deposited in bbet? [15:45]
asciilifeform ;;later tell pete_dushenski any idea what talmud says about all this ? [15:45]
gribble The operation succeeded. [15:45]
asciilifeform PeterL: iirc it is in the lee sedol comments. [15:46]
assbot SLEEP live at Hellfest 2013 - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1MmlUJc ) [15:47]
kakobrekla im not even sure what is being argued here but i feel it might relevant that proof of payment on bbet was always ambiguous - there was no explicit thing showing the payment - the most explicit was the lack of complaints [15:47]
* assbot gives voice to trinque [15:47]
trinque corporate personhood is also fiat bullshit [15:47]
asciilifeform kakobrekla: so it WAS 'you will be XXX btc richer', wasnit. [15:47]
trinque which turd stinks moar? [15:47]
asciilifeform kakobrekla: this answers, i think, my question of 'what exactly was it that bbet promised winners' [15:48]
asciilifeform so it was NOT 'ccc coin from addr aaa at time t' [15:48]
asciilifeform it was rather 'ccc coin to addr specified at bet time, at time t' [15:48]
asciilifeform t - was specified. and this condition was, yes, broken [15:49]
asciilifeform but it was broken routinely long before! [15:49]
asciilifeform every time payouts were delayed. [15:49]
asciilifeform so this time it was broken by paying them ccc - e coin at time t - t', ahead of schedule. [15:49]
PeterL I think the delay by bitcoin network was assumed to be okay [15:49]
kakobrekla asciilifeform yes, after the last fuck up i have added a way to specify the resulting tx when bet is resolved and payment is done so we wouldnt be doing two payments for one bet any more (because this obviously doesnt work!!) [15:50]
kakobrekla however this was not used - yet [15:50]
asciilifeform nubbins`: you are painting uncertainty where none existed. [15:50]
asciilifeform nubbins`: both tx were for ~every~ purpose, from bbet, to bettors. [15:51]
asciilifeform nubbins`: and not 'from mysterymeat to mysterymeat' [15:51]
davout jurov: X is a slippery slope isn't a valid argument for anything [15:52]
trinque this conversation is well downstream from the much more important question of *whose decision it about what a business they own does* [15:52]
asciilifeform davout: esp if the slope is not the least bit slippery, much as some folks might like to pour soap on it [15:53]
trinque if an owner of a business decides that address Y is now the payout address for something instead of X, fuck you, it is. [15:53]
trinque and if that causes a dispute among the board of said company, well, here we are. [15:53]
trinque nubbins`: and you're not one of them [15:53]
asciilifeform trinque: seems like the bettors were ~never~ promised payouts ~from particular addr~ [15:53]
asciilifeform trinque: but simply ~payout~ [15:53]
trinque the fuck is this committee action [15:53]
trinque lets make a congress to pass some laws so this never happens again [15:54]
trinque sure, flap [15:54]
asciilifeform trinque: i have no standing whatsoever re bbet. but the matter is in the forum, fwiw. so we comment. [15:54]
PeterL are you sure? [15:56]
trinque all of it smacks of us being a part of some aggregate whose opinion matters in the private dealings of those present. [15:56]
trinque I am not. [15:56]
PeterL this "vehement opposition" is weak sauce when compared to partisan politic disciples [15:57]
trinque trinque │ sure, flap [15:57]
asciilifeform trinque: it is called a forum. [15:58]
asciilifeform trinque: and ultimately davout has the scalpel now. but i can still ~say~ to him, 'hey listen up the liver is ~that~ way' [15:58]
asciilifeform trinque: he can agree, or not. [15:58]
davout asciilifeform: i think the matter becomes mucho clearer if you ask yourself "did bbet pay twice or did bbet pay once with mp coming along later for a gracious donation to the same recipients" [15:58]
asciilifeform davout: aha. [15:58]
* nezZario has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [15:59]
trinque if he acts as the business and declares it as so how can it be otherwise? [15:59]
jurov davout id did misresolve a bet [15:59]
jurov *it did [15:59]
asciilifeform davout: but say the 1st tx went into dev/null as mircea_popescu intended it to when sending the 2nd. would the bettors have been wronged ? [15:59]
davout in other words, if mp's claim on bbet is approved, it means he was acting on behalf of bbet, which means bbet can consider the same claim settled twice and deduct the amount from further payouts [15:59]
trinque this is nonsense [15:59]
asciilifeform davout: yes! [15:59]
jurov and it did not use that to settle later claims [15:59]
trinque nubbins`: you own a business and decide what it does, yes? [16:00]
davout if mp's claim is rejected because he did not in fact act on behalf of bbet, he simply made a gracious donation to random folks of his own volition [16:00]
* mius__ has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [16:00]
trinque nubbins`: can you invest your own money in your business which is then use to pay liabilites of said business? [16:00]

davout asciilifeform: do you agree that, if the 17 btc mp sent a second time aren't billed to bbet, it follows that this second transaction can't come in deduction of bbet liabilities to bettors/addresses? [16:04]
PeterL either mp sent his own coin, and recipients get to keep it, or mp sent bbet coin, and davout would be justified in withholding futher payment from those addresses [16:05]
asciilifeform davout: aha [16:06]
PeterL when does Davout make this big decision? [16:06]
asciilifeform davout: my argument in the beginning of this mega-thread was that to give ~all bettors the same fraction of the haircut~ is 'communism' because they are in fact ~unequal~ in crafting their misfortune. [16:09]
asciilifeform davout: which is a separate issue. [16:09]
davout PeterL: yeah, that's pertty much the conclusion i came to so far [16:09]
davout asciilifeform: i'd argue communism would actually be the opposite [16:10]
trinque if mp declared he had loaned that coin to his business, who can say otherwise, and why? [16:10]
davout let's not go down this road :D [16:10]

asciilifeform davout: so the thieving swine who pocketed the windfall, KNEW whose coin it was, and what will happen to bbet, a 0-asset corp, when it is missing, and did nothing - have no greater share of responsibility than other bettors ? [16:11]

asciilifeform the answer - would be obvious to anyone with half a neuron. [16:29]

asciilifeform the whole ~point~, i thought, of bitcoin, is to nuke the buluceala [16:30]
asciilifeform and replace it with mechanics. [16:30]
asciilifeform protocol, vs promise. [16:30]
jurov alternative mechanic brainstorm with current btc: all bets would be scooped to one address per proposition and winners would pe paid from there exclusively [16:31]
asciilifeform jurov: imho that would be an improvement [16:32]
asciilifeform and it would have cured this particular buluceala - it would be obvious who is paying whom for what at all times. [16:33]
asciilifeform but my understanding is that mircea_popescu and kakobrekla deliberately did not build it this way [16:33]
asciilifeform ( i have nfi why ) [16:33]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu has said that he intends to play the 'all coin is fungible and unidentifiable ' etc. game. which is fine. but what i don't grasp is how it is possible to craft hard record of debt and repayment without some hook on which to hang them. [16:34]
asciilifeform how does creditor know he was paid by debtor? how does debtor know he paid creditor ? [16:35]
PeterL jurov, wouldn't it be easier, rather than doing two transactions (sweep, then distribute) to just do a single? (bets are used to pay winnings, the 1%fee to a bbet company address) [16:35]
jurov PeterL: these tx would be BIG [16:35]
asciilifeform jurov: so long as <= 1MB, fine! [16:36]
jurov and 1% fees spammy [16:36]
PeterL is it really that much bigger than the current version? don't they already do all payout in one txn? [16:36]

asciilifeform or merely 'graciously donated to.' [16:41]
asciilifeform (and if so, by whom) [16:41]
asciilifeform whereas if spec had been 'winners will receive C coins on addr A from addr B at time T if condition Q' then there would be no puzzle. [16:42]
kakobrekla the thing is, i was in charge of x, he was in charge of y. a part of y was 'delivery of bitcoin to winning addresses' which, by mp claims, was done wrongfully (hence the charge) [16:43]

asciilifeform the counter-argument seems to be that they were somehow 'not really paid by bbet' [16:45]

danielpbarron look at the bet page for a resolved bet. You'll see that BitBet claims how much it has sent and to which address it has been sent. This is sufficient for agreement. [18:06]

asciilifeform well my argument was 'in order for bbet paying them X to be bbet's obligation, they oughta HAVE paid back the double.' [18:17]

mircea_popescu hanbot i;m no longer going to be using it, no. [18:20]
mircea_popescu it is nice and good to wish to turn some kids into some men. but the wishing does not do the turning, and they all got toys to play with so - there it goes. [18:21]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: on this i must agree. it ~was~ ill-specified [18:21]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform it is the priviledge of the great to try and raise the crowd ; it is the priviledge of the crowd to prove that this can not be done. very well specified, and working as intended. [18:22]
mircea_popescu schism, listen to him go. [18:22]

mircea_popescu at least if i throw money at whores i get a dance. [18:23]
jurov hanbot actually, i was NOT writing it in that context, it was in context of whether mispayments were ever considered against future bet winnings. so you did yourself disservice by connecting these things, and it's actually interesting you keep doing it [18:23]
asciilifeform anyway i'm not personally mentally invested in any of this, and won't shed so much as nanoliter of tear . [18:23]

jurov but this happened again and again, bitbet being last case [19:40]
danielpbarron punkman, indeed that might be why private addresses became a thing. account holders signing agreement that anything sent to that address gets credited to account. Since we know that there are side-contracts for the less-than-50-btc renewal of keys, this should be possible [19:41]

mircea_popescu while it is incontrivable that the lordship has failed utterly, and is in no sense the guarantor of keeping spammers and idiots away from the forum as intended (youhadonejob.png!!!), that is a distinct and separate problem from what to do with #b-a. [20:40]

mircea_popescu 1 has the manifest disadvantage that it is an exact replay of the bitbet drama. it may be argued that it is "clean" and "elegant" and "all i wanted was to protect you, son", which is so much idiotic patriarchical nonsense it makes my skin crawl - and thus let's extend kakobrekla in public the same sympathies extended in private ; [20:40]
mircea_popescu 2 requires the man who just saw the product of his not-inconsequential efforts die over "not doing what mp says, with money" have to choose whether to do what mp says... but with people, this time. we did in fact start this channel together, just like bitbet, and he did do a lot of infrastructure work here, just as there. so... what do ? [20:40]
mircea_popescu i dunno, but the fact remains this nonsense can't continue, if for no reason then because i won't be any part of the most recent attempt of fiat world to reclaim the republic. so for the sake of variety, let's go with : kakobrekla, you willing to take nubbins off the l1 ? [20:40]
