asciilifeform may as well say that it beats being dragged behind a truck until nothing remains on the rope but a tattered thread of skin. [00:00]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform> you gotta transport the secret to the user << did i wake up today in a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ? << no, you woke up in a parallel universe where microsoft is still a business model. [00:02]
mircea_popescu not THAT paralel. [00:02]
asciilifeform lul [00:02]
* Skirmant_ (~Skirmant@78.60.20.68) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:03]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: i'm talking from a server end point, i don't have to keep user secret. just public key <<< see, there. that's the value proposition : it allows the operator to say "sorry, fuck you" to the user in terms that are socially acceptable, [00:03]
mircea_popescu unlike the bitbet style, which while being exactly the same thing, is socially unacceptable. [00:03]
mircea_popescu artifexd> That may, or may not, invalidate the ability to use yubikey's servers though. I don't know. << afaik blowing their key does make it unable to use the servers, because you see, the true beauty of stupidty : they actually narrow the keyspace (significantly) to make their product vendor-lockedin [00:05]
mircea_popescu ie, not all keys work, key has to satisfy magic yubikey criteria on top of entropy [00:05]
pankkake lol [00:06]
pankkake oh was that why the mtgox keys worked only with mtgox? [00:06]
* assbot removes voice from justusranvier [00:06]
* assbot removes voice from mius [00:06]
mircea_popescu all of a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party. << welcome to... 2012 ? [00:06]
mircea_popescu pankkake yup. [00:06]
* Skirmant has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [00:06]
artifexd The code to run a yubikey server is open source so you, I, or anyone is welcome to swap out the key and run their own server. [00:06]
mircea_popescu they used same principle, except (afaik) even shittier implementation [00:06]
mircea_popescu reduced space even more [00:06]
pankkake that's like the password things that require you to have "at least one number, one capitalized letter, one symbol" [00:07]
mircea_popescu kinda worse, tbh [00:07]
* Skirmant_ is now known as Skirmant [00:07]
mircea_popescu hey, guys: which is less likely to leak? openssl or gpg? << gpg may still have a bug or two in there. [00:08]
mircea_popescu we are planning on reaching regular folks as well << tbh, as long as you ernestly offer the strong version, nobody can hold it against you that you also offer a convenient version. [00:09]
mircea_popescu as long as the user can choose, you're scott free. [00:10]
mircea_popescu they got their mistakes out of the way with SF1. You need to jump on SF2, it's going to the moon. << i forget, what was the eventual return on that thing ? [00:10]
mircea_popescu (aside from weak keygen) << and aside from planted holes. [00:11]
mike_c sf1 stock is down 15% from ipo in december, no dividends. [00:12]
mike_c so not bad for havelol [00:12]

fluffypony so now they have this pile of BTC that was meant for GoCoin [00:13]
fluffypony or OkPay [00:13]

mircea_popescu o wow all caught up with log. check me out! [00:16]
* mircea_popescu does a little all caught up dance. [00:16]
mircea_popescu mike_c ah, almost worse than dr foreskin [00:17]
mircea_popescu fluffypony they'll buy virtual mining shares. [00:17]
fluffypony hah hah [00:17]
mircea_popescu this concept where they return the investment is obviously too much for teh forum. [00:17]
artifexd mircea_popescu: What is the way in which purchasers of f.mpif are expecting to make money? Increase in nav? Dividends? [00:19]
pankkake my last encounter with jimmothy points to that :/ [00:20]
mircea_popescu artifexd well substantially, my thinking is that one does not simply kill berkshire, one also makes a replacement. if one's polite, at least. [00:20]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [ALC] 900 @ 0.14 = 126 BTC [00:20]
mircea_popescu so in general, the share should appreciate through tracking its nav. [00:20]
artifexd That implies that you do not expect to issue regular dividends. Correct? [00:21]
mircea_popescu dividends will happen if there's no rational use of capital comensurate with historical gains, so if the thing makes ~10% pa for a while, and there's no way to beat that, i'd start distributing capital [00:21]
pankkake it's in the blog post iirc [00:21]
mircea_popescu artifexd correct. it even says as much. [00:21]
mircea_popescu " It may pay a dividend during any period I determine this expedient, but there is no promise of monthly dividend (nor does such a thing make any sense whatsoever, for most companies)." [00:22]
artifexd Well. Crap. I hate asking questions when the answer is in black and white. [00:22]
mircea_popescu eh no big deal, you don't have a charged history. [00:22]
mircea_popescu everyone can get away with a few. [00:22]
pankkake no one should be blamed for tl;dring trilema [00:23]
mircea_popescu anyway : because i actually included pc5 explicitly, the share actually has a clear mechanism to track nav pretty closely. [00:23]
mircea_popescu this i personally regard as a structural and significant improvement over berkshire. [00:23]
fluffypony hah hah pankkake [00:24]
pankkake there's no public nav for berkshire? [00:24]
* assbot gives voice to Namworld [00:24]
fluffypony I normally have to gloss over Trilema posts 5 or 6 times before I remember what it was about [00:24]
Namworld Returning the investment is not something that the forum can digest you say? So if I complete repaying all my lenders, all hell will break loose on the forum? [00:24]
fluffypony Namworld: I think the world will come to the end [00:24]
Panadol_____ pankkake parseval paxtoncamaro91 Perlboy phf phish pizzaman1338 PsychoticBoy Pucilowski punkman1 [00:24]
mircea_popescu pankkake eh i wouldn't go as far as that [00:24]
pankkake fluffypony: I'll eventually make a script to put them on my ereader. maybe I'll read them all then [00:25]
mircea_popescu Namworld in a word, yes. [00:25]
mircea_popescu pankkake see, the problem is you don't fly enough. [00:25]
Namworld Seems like a good reason to not give up then. [00:25]
mircea_popescu i know at least a dozen people who read trilema while travelling. catch up with a month's worth on an intercontinental flight [00:25]
pankkake I have had some productivity streaks while on the train [00:26]
pankkake that's actually why I don't mind long *comfortable* travel over short inconfortable [00:26]
mircea_popescu btw, what's the worst time to have a productive streak ? [00:26]
fluffypony on the toilet [00:26]
mircea_popescu when you're riding a bird. [00:26]
pankkake I usually solve problems when peeing [00:26]
mircea_popescu (scottish bird = girl) [00:27]
fluffypony lol [00:27]
mircea_popescu btw, what's with the brony power puff nick ? [00:27]

mircea_popescu "this one time, in band camp..." [00:28]
fluffypony I worked at this IT company, and there were these two cute sales girls (literally the only two decent looking people at the company) [00:28]
fluffypony and they were known as fluffy puppy and fluffy bunny [00:28]
fluffypony never asked why [00:28]
fluffypony at any rate, we went on a team building weekend away [00:28]
fluffypony got slaughter-house drunk with them whilst the nerds went to sleep [00:29]
fluffypony and they decided to give me a nick name [00:29]
mircea_popescu before or after the oral sex ? [00:29]
fluffypony so in the wee hours of a debaucherus night/morning they decided my nick name would be fluffy horse [00:29]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: inbetween and all around [00:29]
artifexd Isn't that known as "fluffing"? [00:29]
fluffypony artifexd: that came up as part of the convo that night ;) [00:29]
mircea_popescu is this story a subtle suggestion you've got a nigger hose ? [00:30]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: *wink* [00:30]
fluffypony anyway, I thought fluffy horse "sounded gay" [00:30]
mircea_popescu don't wink at me, i don't twink that way [00:30]
fluffypony and they thought "fluffy pony" was much better [00:30]
fluffypony which was "lol funny joke" [00:30]
mircea_popescu lol o i c, fluffy pony is less gay. right. what'd you drink, paint thinner ? [00:30]
pankkake maybe in an ironic way [00:30]
fluffypony till they started calling me fluffypony and FP in emails and at Friday afternoon drinks [00:30]
fluffypony and it stuck [00:30]
mircea_popescu well cool story brony. [00:31]
mircea_popescu glad i asked. [00:31]
fluffypony well it's better than some of my nicknames in the 90s [00:31]
fluffypony I think I was death-0ver0rd on Dalnet for like a year [00:32]
mircea_popescu artifexd fluffing is when a youngish girl that aspires to one day make money from porn tries her inept damdest to get up the overworked penis of some druggie pronstar guy [00:32]

moiety i just realised i used later tell earlier probably wrongly because i was looking at the wrong part of the people list [01:41]
mikaeldice I'd like to see bitcoin companies start using a more transparent accounting system that's more detailed than the blockchain. It wouldn't really cut down on fraud, but it might make the incompetent more noticeable and accountable. [01:41]
mircea_popescu mikaeldice http://trilema.com/2013/accounting-for-the-nonzero-asset-corporation-the-mpex-standard/ [01:42]
fluffypony mikaeldice: they could just publish their monthlies and prove they have access to the funds they claim by sending it to a public address [01:43]
mikaeldice Thanks, mircea_popescu, I've read that post before and enjoyed it. [01:44]
mircea_popescu so then what are you talking about ? [01:44]
benkay fluffypony: wouldn't simply signing with the addr key suffice? [01:44]
mircea_popescu that's the accounting standard, bitcoin companies do use it, etc. [01:44]
mikaeldice I was thinking more of an open ledger which automatically updates with expenditures from preset addresses. The user adds a justification, maybe associates an expense account to it [01:44]
benkay sounds like a DAC [01:45]
benkay burn it with fire [01:45]
fluffypony benkay: they may move things around during the month for operational purposes (change addresses in a wallet etc.), so moving it into one address is a very quick operation [01:45]
benkay fluffypony: what fraction of corporate funds are you expecting to be in hot storage? [01:47]

mikaeldice Are you narrowly defining what a bitcoin corp is? Taking a look at the securities forum, it's almost not in use by most of the scams and incompetents there. When there is reporting, it's late and/or incomplete.. [01:56]
fluffypony it's not like if you create an easier system all the scams will be like "ohai, let's be legit!" [01:56]
mikaeldice True, but the goal would be to generate red flags on incompetence more than anything [01:57]
fluffypony mikaeldice: that would need to be done BEFORE investing [01:57]
fluffypony mikaeldice: also, re: what is a "Bitcoin business" - http://blog.spagni.net/posts/2014-04-28/ [01:57]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform: folks expecting to play 'doom' on cardano will be disappointed. << you know back i nthe day one way to make the old impossible amiga games playable was to downclock the damned things [13:25]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: decimation: no oven. space constraints. perhaps in new flat. << you know stan, i hear 500 bucks buys one quite a few acres of open land in patagonia. and since it never rains... don't even really need a roof. [13:27]
mircea_popescu build a succession of spacious yurts. [13:27]
mircea_popescu i suspect this would be the ideal living arrangement for the true hardware engineer : much like a silkworm's. built a yurt roughly 10 body lengths in diameter, fill it with material slower. [13:28]
mircea_popescu when full, build a new one a little off, carry whatever pieces of the old one you wish. [13:28]
mircea_popescu keep doing this. at any point you want something from the oild yurts, just go drag it to the current one. (never ever move stuff back tho, only forward) [13:29]
mircea_popescu there's probably a yurting period one could observe over the duration of his life, if he had the freedom do live in a manner adequate to his own manner. [13:29]
mircea_popescu you could have a million acres dedicated to this, like a sort of modern silicon valley / smarts farm. each accepted person gets his own line. [13:30]

mircea_popescu fluffypony nickserv is not authoritative. freenode gives away names and chans that were abandoined. [13:38]

mircea_popescu what's his github say ? [13:38]
fluffypony I know, but then the registration info changes [13:38]

mircea_popescu BohemianHacks so i'm very curious, how did you proceed to come to the idea that mpex and cryptostocks are in any sense tyhe same thing, or in any way comparable ? [13:41]
mircea_popescu fluffypony well maybe he gets through the logs. [13:42]
fluffypony tru dat [13:42]
BohemianHacks because they are both coin investment platforms, thats pretty similar [13:42]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: I invited him in here as he was expressing an interest in investing in crypto-based stocks [13:42]
BohemianHacks a quick google puts them in the same group, so its not like that is wildly off base [13:42]
fluffypony thought it best for him to get some proper info :) [13:42]
mircea_popescu so in the sense of "stuff to do with bitcoin" ? [13:43]
BohemianHacks no, you are investing your coin in the hope to get a return [13:43]
BohemianHacks lotteries, stocks, funds [13:43]
BohemianHacks all fall under that umbrella [13:43]
mircea_popescu but you can't invest in a lottery. [13:43]
mircea_popescu i guess there's the disconnect. aite. [13:43]
BohemianHacks sure you can, its a poor one but you can [13:43]
BohemianHacks buying 1000 lottery tickets usually wont pay out, but its an investment to some people [13:44]
mircea_popescu this poor word invest. it happens to be a term of art in finance, of course, but it's been (recently, since the internet) been coopted as a colloquialism [13:44]
BohemianHacks "expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit or material result by putting it into financial schemes, shares, or property, or by using it to develop a commercial venture." [13:44]
mircea_popescu BohemianHacks you can't, for the following reason : in order for something t obe an investment, it requires two things. a) that you've done research and b) that the research indicates +EV. [13:44]
BohemianHacks no thats just good investing [13:45]
mircea_popescu now, lotteries fail on b. and if you're not aware of this, it fails on a. [13:45]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: I think the word has been coopted by the Jimmothy School of Smart Investmenting [13:45]
mircea_popescu well sure, i guess in the sense of, "good dentistry" is what happens at the dentist's office, and plain dentistry is what happens at the bare [13:46]
mircea_popescu once the punches start flrying [13:46]
mircea_popescu bar* [13:46]
BohemianHacks No as in the definition of the word [13:46]
mircea_popescu the "definition of the word" according to whom ? [13:46]
BohemianHacks "the profession or science dealing with the prevention and treatment of diseases and malformations of the teeth, gums, and oral cavity, and the removal, correction, and replacement of decayed, damaged, or lost parts, including such operations as the filling and crowning of teeth, the straightening of teeth, and the construction of artificial dentures. " [13:47]
BohemianHacks dentistry ^ [13:47]
BohemianHacks the dictionary dude, we have these things for a reason [13:47]
BohemianHacks "expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit or material result by putting it into financial schemes, shares, or property, or by using it to develop a commercial venture." [13:47]
BohemianHacks ^invest [13:47]
mircea_popescu "the dictionary" is meaningless. [13:48]
mircea_popescu "we" similarly. [13:48]
mircea_popescu did you mean a webpage somewhere ? [13:48]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11783 @ 0.00097627 = 11.5034 BTC [+] [13:48]
mircea_popescu anyway, to continue the saga of the poor word "invest" : originally, it denoted the act of comitting your army to a siege. which was, expensive and dangerous a proceeding. [13:49]
BohemianHacks meh, this is a waste of time. I get you are trying to prove a point about safe investing, but thats the definition of the word. Buying tons of lotto tickets is dumb, but it IS investing. [13:49]
mircea_popescu then the merchants stole it, because at the time the only thing the town merchant feared was the soldier, so he wanted to steal his stuff. [13:49]
mircea_popescu similarly today, the only thing the city poor / welfare bunnies fear is the 19th century capitalist [13:49]

BohemianHacks You are asking for a computation on a subjective matter, good luck getting real numbers. [14:04]
mircea_popescu same principle. don't use a public service of a large provider that has the power to survive you in the market. [14:04]
mircea_popescu BohemianHacks it would seem you made an objective statement, but perhaps we're stuck on different language spaces again. [14:05]
BohemianHacks I was talking about myself and failure to see that is entirely on you. [14:05]
BohemianHacks part of the risk involved with any crime is loss of freedom, the value of the is completely subjective [14:07]

mircea_popescu on one hand, having a third party involved in any bitcoin transaction, in any way, is breaking the protocol. on the other hand, the pki/dns infrastructure is beyond rotten. tying it into any sort of live project is like taking a spleen off a rotting cadaver and putting it into someone's gut.

fluffypony fair enough, I get your point [14:11]
mircea_popescu aite. [14:11]
fluffypony ok so then the problem is that you have to communicate addresses somehow [14:12]
fluffypony phone / email / whatever [14:12]
mircea_popescu gpg signed works. [14:12]
fluffypony so everything is open to interception and breakage, to a greater or lesser degree [14:12]
mircea_popescu i mean it's not like the problem doesn't have a perfect solution alreayd. [14:12]
fluffypony yeah [14:12]
mircea_popescu it's just that some [mostly irrelevant] people have decided they don't want to apply the solutionb. [14:12]
mircea_popescu because "dictionary" or whatever. which is fine, but also, killing them is the general goal of entropy. [14:13]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: the problem is we come full circle back to the adoption problem - as much as you want to keep Bitcoin in the hands of the techno-competent, it is going to spread, and the n00bs are going to need n00bish solutions because they aren't going to learn to use GPG no matter how often people get hacked / lose money [14:14]

VanCleef hmm i cant see the SF2 IPO being filled anytime soon [14:29]
mircea_popescu more importantly, that his ability to absorb scandal is nil. all it takes is one single merchant attacked by him providing fake ids to someone and that's the end. [14:31]
jurov but he can be hacked.. i'd trust it fully *if* rating consisted of signing the recipient's gpg addy [14:31]

mircea_popescu o look at that, pankkake we're cotrolls now. [15:01]
mircea_popescu i wonder what that means. [15:01]
mircea_popescu and i wonder if sukrim ever sat down and calculated how much he has lost to date, since his derpy "hai i r glbse investoar" days. [15:02]

mircea_popescu published where ? [15:03]

Naphex and now they can just get it from bitcoin-assets log [15:10]
mircea_popescu so from dns. [15:10]
mircea_popescu well yes, now they can, because you've leveraged the public forum to strengthen the wot. [15:11]
mircea_popescu but my point is narrower : that no wot can stand on its own. one of the manyt reasons pki is broken by design, not the most visible one but quite fundamental. [15:11]
mircea_popescu and it also goes to jurov's q as to the diff between pki and nanowot. [15:11]
Naphex just meant to be viable [15:11]
Naphex i.e if you an send to deposits.mpex.co [15:12]
Naphex and you keep your own dns, your own zonefile [15:12]
Naphex and the datavalidates, it can easily show green on a client [15:12]
Naphex green - for full check, approved key [15:12]
Naphex yellow for whatever, and other color codes [15:12]
mircea_popescu what's color codes to do with anything tho ? [15:13]
mircea_popescu i couldn't need a dns less : you know where to send funds becasuse yu get a gpg signed deposit slip. [15:13]
mircea_popescu dns serves no useful purpose for mpex. [15:13]
Naphex color codes - for clients that maybe want to implement name2address resolve [15:15]

BCB mircea_popescu, That's obviously one person of interest. "he" obviously bought several bitcoin gaming sites. [17:29]

ThickAsThieves do you think that it's just moving the goal posts though? [17:37]
ThickAsThieves being that the secret key is still a leak [17:38]
mircea_popescu notrly. or how do you mean ? [17:38]
mircea_popescu i don't follow. [17:38]
ThickAsThieves well the host knows the key right? [17:38]
ThickAsThieves and can win at will [17:38]
mircea_popescu nah. [17:39]
ThickAsThieves this may allow some forms of provably fair, but many creative ways to game that otherwise [17:39]
mircea_popescu you can do it like jd does it [17:39]
mircea_popescu that's actually pf. [17:39]
fluffypony I agree with ThickAsThieves - I think "provably fair" often means "proving that there are winners and losers" [17:39]

mircea_popescu not from the players. [17:40]

pankkake and said so himself [17:43]
BCB pankkake, are you a troll for hire [17:44]
mike_c and clearly is doing so. investors only made 4% in april! scamz. [17:44]
fluffypony thus as it stands right now provably fair is "provably making payments", not provably fair in the absolute sense [17:44]

mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves there's this user secret. [17:44]
mike_c but, ThickAsThieves, it doesn't matter [17:44]
mircea_popescu playing roughly the role of the salt in a hash [17:44]
mike_c so dooglus is skimming (which he's not i'm sure). who cares? [17:45]
mike_c investors still got 4% [17:45]
pankkake I was thinking of a gambling system where the key is the next block hash [17:45]
ThickAsThieves mike_c thats kinda a wtf argument to the topic [17:45]
pankkake but that means waiting for the results [17:45]
mike_c the point being, i am not investing in the code. i am investing in dooglus. and he returned 4% in april. [17:45]
mircea_popescu pankkake yeah a new zooko triangle is emerging [17:45]
ThickAsThieves ok but whether its a good investment isnt the topic [17:46]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves actually that's a valid approach, mike_c's. i'd just like to explore the provably fair angle, from bettors prespective [17:46]
mircea_popescu investors is a diff story [17:46]
ThickAsThieves the topic is whether provably fair is provably a fiat gambling killer [17:46]
ThickAsThieves or just a new strain [17:47]

mike_c um, actually each player gets their own server secret [17:48]
mike_c pretty sure [17:48]

mike_c which you can change at any time [17:48]

mike_c no, the server one [17:48]

mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves that may be impossible. [17:50]
mike_c but this doesn't break anything. because you can change your secret after the server secret is set. [17:50]
ThickAsThieves for example, if "state lottery" takes up "provably" fair [17:51]
mircea_popescu mike_c you're confusing me. [17:51]
ThickAsThieves things are actually WORSE for the US [17:51]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves why ? [17:51]
ThickAsThieves cuz gov can steal earnings at will [17:51]
ThickAsThieves diverting them where they like [17:51]
mircea_popescu how ? [17:51]
mike_c ok, you get the hash for server secret. you want a new server secret? click a button and it generates a new one, shows you the new hash, and shows you the old secret. [17:51]
mike_c now you can set your own client seed [17:52]
mike_c bam, provably fair [17:52]
mircea_popescu RIGHT! so there are in fact two. [17:52]
mike_c yes. [17:52]
mircea_popescu aite. [17:52]
mircea_popescu but you're saying server has a hash for each guy rather than one for all guys [17:52]
mike_c right [17:52]
mircea_popescu but you can see the old hash at will. [17:52]
mike_c yup [17:52]
mircea_popescu and you can change your hash but server is not allowed to change its [17:52]
mike_c yes, unless you tell it to [17:52]
mircea_popescu except if you ask it to show it to you, then it always does. [17:53]
mircea_popescu right. [17:53]
mircea_popescu these two have the same effect. [17:53]
pankkake you would need a secret that can not be known in advance by anyone (bettors and investors), but that would be revealed shortly after the bets. so far I only see future block hashes [17:53]
mircea_popescu pankkake that's open to miner manipulation rly. [17:53]
pankkake yes, but it has a cost. miners would have to discard their own blocks to win [17:53]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves so as constructed, jd can't steal from players. [17:53]
ThickAsThieves but can from investors [17:53]
mircea_popescu it may, of course, steal from investors (ie, if the player and the casino collude) [17:54]
mircea_popescu pankkake true. [17:54]
pankkake though, I was thinking of tweaking it: you have a secret server key still, and the key used to compute the bet result would be secret+lastblock [17:54]
ThickAsThieves salty fairness [17:54]
mircea_popescu pankkake mike_c is working on something based on that principle [17:54]
mircea_popescu was demo'd at conference [17:54]
pankkake nice [17:54]
mircea_popescu i think will open for a close beta soonish [17:54]
mircea_popescu or close for an open beta [17:55]
mike_c it'll be out before cardano :D [17:55]
mircea_popescu or something [17:55]
ThickAsThieves hehe [17:55]
ThickAsThieves sounds like a challenge! [17:55]
ThickAsThieves or a bet [17:55]
pankkake still, you would have to wait for a block for the result [17:56]
ThickAsThieves white house logic: "Disclosing a vulnerability can mean that we forego an opportunity to collect crucial intelligence that could thwart a terrorist attack, stop the theft of our nation’s intellectual property, or even discover more dangerous vulnerabilities that are being used by hackers or other adversaries to exploit our networks," [17:56]
ThickAsThieves leave it vulnerable so we can protect it! [17:56]
pankkake so investors would have to chose between less volume yet provably fair, vs. more volume but maybe some stealth stealing [17:57]

* assbot gives voice to HeySteve [20:01]
JorgePasada Because a Bitcoin transaction can’t be reversed, it means that the party transferring value has no recourse within the Bitcoin system to reverse or dispute a transaction. Thus, someone who wants their money back has to go to court, and companies that accept Bitcoin as payment aren’t above the law. This will move chargebacks from intermediary mediated settlements to small-claims court and higher civil courts [20:01]
JorgePasada That paragraph bothers me. [20:01]
HeySteve <+JorgePasada> is identity = reputation? <- I'd say no. identity is what you know of yourself, reputation is what others know of you [20:01]

JorgePasada Bitcoin doesn’t eliminate fraudulent transactions; it only eliminates counterfeit payments. This can, of course, save many tens or hundreds of billions of dollars a year globally and translate to more efficiency in commerce. But removing the intermediary also removes recourse outside of courts, and the cost and nature of that can’t be determined. [20:02]

benkay "It also glosses over theft. Because Bitcoin relies entirely on the private retention of secrets (private keys that prove ownership of given Bitcoins), a stolen Bitcoin is only traceable within the system to a certain extent, and thefts of millions and tens of millions of dollars have already occurred. Because committed transactions are irreversible, stolen Bitcoins are valuable and nearly laundered." << this is bananas. [20:06]
