mircea_popescu: well yeah, i guess it is a buzz kill.
drmandude: Still. You'd think you'd get out at least what you put in
drmandude: for winning
mircea_popescu: well, bitbet takes 1%. if you don't get at least 1% from the winnings pool, you walk out short.
pankkake: Arnold Rothstein bet?
drmandude: yeahhh
drmandude: i also bet on some others
drmandude: this was just the first to come in
mircea_popescu: lol hi there. you were mentioned in despatches earlier.
drmandude: rothstein isn't killed by anyone in BW empire so I was like...f no is he dying
pankkake: yeah, we actually predicted you!
drmandude: Sorry I'm a noob to this. Not trying to make trouble :-)
pankkake: well the issue was both weight and really few Yes
mircea_popescu: drmandude the idea here is, that if a bet runs for say a month, and you put 1 btc when it opens, some dude betting like 3 weeks later can't get as much as you do of the winnings
mircea_popescu: so there's a weight, by time.
drmandude: totes makes sense
mircea_popescu: the result of this is that if you bet very late you may end up with like a <1% loss
drmandude: i misinterpreted the calculations on my end
drmandude: i got nervous because bitbet has some some bad press
drmandude: im sure you saw a few twitterss
drmandude: but then it just showed up
mircea_popescu: i don't follow twitter actually.
mircea_popescu: the girl makes btctalk reports which i occasionalyl read.
drmandude: they were talking on bitcointalk and reddit
pankkake: you probably don't want to bet on anything that doesn't get you at least a few percents, not worth the risk of losing vs. winning
drmandude: im realizing that. I was getting the hang of it.
pankkake: yeah, it's fun
BingoBoingo: drmandude: This problem is why I prefer shooting from the hip and betting as close to open as possible and then defending my stake as other people bet.
drmandude: consequenrtly, this conversation just happened
mircea_popescu: drmandude you can easily verify it pays because well... go to an opld bet, click on the payout links
pankkake: I'm happy with my last month despite mostly losing :D

pankkake: BingoBoingo: "defending my stake"?
mircea_popescu: drmandude yeah.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Yeah, curating the odds, hedging on the other side if someone dumps a large bet that skews things.

mircea_popescu: course bfl hasn't delivered yet

BigBitz: If those reasons are legit then it makes sense.
BigBitz: he wants to ensure quality/support over the long term. Small shut down to regain himself might help.
bitesak: what?
kleeck: Really? It's legit to open an exchange, raise money for shares of your exchange, and then close down because, "Oh, I have to support this?"
BigBitz: Hasn't he said he's returning the coins?
BigBitz: or have I grossly misread that?
kleeck: I haven't read anything about mcxFees yet.
truffles: said take money, need break
bitesak: grossly misunderstood
BigBitz: Hmm to me he wants an opportunity to overhaul it - naiveity might be strong in me this morning though.........
truffles: needs break to find help?
bitesak: he's returning his worthless mcx coins not the bitcoins he got in exchange for them
kleeck: So anyone who has shares in mxcFEE is boned for up to 3months.
BigBitz: Oh that's lame.
truffles: This is a burden of 200 to 400 emails a day among many requests on IRC and through chat.

mircea_popescu: kleeck yeah yest or w/e
Apocalyptic: yeah, the MicroCash story
kleeck: Apocalyptic, if only you could get help for under one million...
BigBitz: scan reading an article and saying "if those reasons are legit" isn't exactly a glowing reference as to how it performs as an Exchange :)
BigBitz: I only know one person who has actually used mcxNow - I haven't :)
kleeck: Even his reasoning makes no sense. "This site is custom built on C++ so no one else can help, need to shut down. Well, the real reason is that I get emails...which no one can help with so... Oh yeah, and IRC complaints. No one can help with those either."
kleeck: Sounds like you need a small helpdesk. One to Two level one techs can deal with all that.
BigBitz: to me it read like he wanted to overhaul it and bring other people in... again - not exactly a glowing reference. His previous reigns didn't exactly pan out well...
kleeck: That's kind of my point BigBitz is the issue the site or the support?
kleeck: He isn't consistent.
mircea_popescu: <bitesak> he's returning his worthless mcx coins not the bitcoins he got in exchange for them << this
BigBitz: kleeck depends I guess... if he wants someone to help him re-write maybe? who knows..... but not returning the actual bitcoins is criminal :D
kleeck: "All existing mcxFEE holders will have the same mcxFEE balance when the site relaunches. I’m allowing people to trade mcxFEE up until December 20th in case they want to exit them."

mircea_popescu: kleeck he raised my foot.
bitesak: I mean the 11K raised. Do you have a btc address with some reasonable expectation it is linked to this outfit?
mircea_popescu: he raised 30 btc and self traded for the rest in the hopes of seeming like he's got interest
mircea_popescu: the burnside method, tho it was really pioneered by goat on glbse.
kleeck: No, no. From his "ipo" of mcxFEE he made 11000 BTC.
kleeck: People gave it to him.
kleeck: in exchange for shares of the site.
Apocalyptic: yeah mircea, i don't believe he faked trading on those
Apocalyptic: people were just insane about how innovative it waq
Apocalyptic: *was
mircea_popescu: dude get out, people gave him 11k btc.
kleeck: I haven't done the math. But that's what his forum thread is saying.
mircea_popescu: o i see. well if a forum thread says so then that must be it
mircea_popescu: 0.0
kleeck: Actually Drawingthesun pretty much called it back a few weeks at IPO close.
mircea_popescu: he got ~30 btc from a dozen or so retards.
mircea_popescu: the rest is smoke.
kleeck: Haha. First post on the thread: They're not trying to raise money, they're trying to cash out. The site is ready and operational, so it doesn't need to raise additional capital.
kleeck: Prophetic.
kleeck: I mean, he may have padded the share sales, mircea_popescu, but I was chatting with a number of people excited about this site and wanting to invest in it.
mircea_popescu: i have chatted with a number of people pissed off at bitbet.

ThickAsThieves: NYT be trollin' http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/11/25/render-unto-caesar-but-who-backs-the-bitcoin/

mircea_popescu: yes, there are plenty of ways. just, not accessible to the public.
ThickAsThieves: <kleeck> No, no. From his "ipo" of mcxFEE he made 11000 BTC. <<< that's unlikely
kleeck: This is what we're discussing ThickAsThieves
ThickAsThieves: oh mp already said that
kleeck: I just conceded that we can't really know outside of what this guy says.
kleeck: I'd say he raised enough to make the venture worthwhile.
ThickAsThieves: it's part of how the scam works
mircea_popescu: kleeck there's multiple ways to know. one is to know all the people who acrually could invest 10k.
ThickAsThieves: great a huge wave and see who sticks their toes in
kleeck: And he at least paid off his "C++ Web Development for Dummies" book.
ThickAsThieves: create*\
mircea_popescu: another is to be one of the visible people to whom people come with questions as to credibility of entrepreneurs.

Apocalyptic: mircea, did actually someone ask you about what do you think of RS ?
kleeck: RS? RoadSilk?
mircea_popescu: someone asked me what i think of rs at least each day since the ipo.
mircea_popescu: someone asked me what i think of tradehill 2.o so many times i had to write a fucking article about it
mircea_popescu: and etc.
BigBitz: what do you think about BitBet stealing 10BTC, mircea_popescu? :D
ThickAsThieves: my first instinct with mcxnow, before the "IPO" was that it's a scam, then once the IPO came I did like 3min of research to discover the guy was indeed shady
BigBitz: yeah ThickAsThieves as I said ^^ his other reigns were interesting...
mircea_popescu: that dude. he pretty much has it.
ThickAsThieves: hopefully most noobs' lesson-learning was cheap

mircea_popescu: Peter Leeds of the Penny Stock newsletter put it to me this way: In a matter of months you wont be hearing about it. It will go the same way of Paris Hilton. People will move on to the next thing.

mircea_popescu: see, the idea is for a bet to be about more than just the bet itself
mircea_popescu: to avoid creating betting black holes
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves on the grounds of what verifiable fact ?
dexX7: deprived is on the boat
ThickAsThieves: well, i know i'm not a random scam
turbo_ac100: dexX7, true that
mircea_popescu: but i know you've paid people.
ThickAsThieves: and i have done many of the things she has
mircea_popescu: who exactly has this thing paid ?
ThickAsThieves: i suppose
mircea_popescu: well ?
mircea_popescu: it's a big difference.
ThickAsThieves: well she's run her assets for a long time and not disappeared
mircea_popescu: "run her assets".
ThickAsThieves: ignorning any delving into the quality of the assets
mircea_popescu: obsi ?
turbo_ac100: ThickAsThieves, ...without reapearing.
ThickAsThieves: my point is that she's super trustworthy,
mircea_popescu: (tbg the theory where kate/craig = the newest identity of the obsi glbse scammer is one of the better)
ThickAsThieves: so much as hard to pin down as not trustworthy
ThickAsThieves: i'm not a fan of some of her ways
ThickAsThieves: but i cant find scamming
mircea_popescu: in some circumstances it's presumed.
ThickAsThieves: oops
ThickAsThieves: <ThickAsThieves> my point is NOT that she's super trustworthy,
mircea_popescu: yeah i gathered.
ThickAsThieves: also, spekaing for Deprived, he is not officially part of her exchange at this time
dexX7: what criteria do you suggest to get a bet including ciphertrade listed on bb?
ThickAsThieves: but may be at some point
ThickAsThieves: dexx7, thats your problem to solve it seems
Apocalyptic: TAT, as far as I know he's jut an "advisor"
ThickAsThieves: right
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you know, this sort of using repuitable member's naivite... that's how labscam worked with theseven for instance.
mircea_popescu: this is a huge black mark rather than anything else.
ThickAsThieves: yeah, my guess is Deprived was initially down to join, and is now unsure
turbo_ac100: Apocalyptic, he said he considers listing DMS there. Nothing more afaik.
ThickAsThieves: so his name is attached
mircea_popescu: dexX7 i dunno. something that can be verified.
ThickAsThieves: maybe find out the domain name they intend to use?
mircea_popescu: and also something that is hard to do. putting a website up thereupon numbers are displayed is no sort of achievement.
mircea_popescu: this is what seems to be lost on all the forum tards : so you made a webpage. well done, you're now 15. so ?
ThickAsThieves: make the criteria "mircea popusecu can make an account, but a share, sell it, and get his money out"
ThickAsThieves: buy*
kakobrekla: butt
mircea_popescu: lol right
mircea_popescu: more liek, S.MPOE will be listed on ciphertrade. that's a bold bet, i'd bet on it.
mircea_popescu: so i gave this chick the task to find the original latin version of the "friends, romans, countrymen" speech.
mircea_popescu: she's still searching for it.
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea what they teach in school these days, but it definitely isn't english.
ThickAsThieves: someone attempting it http://latindiscussion.com/forum/latin/friends-romans-countrymen-lend-me-your-ears.16980/

mike_c: a bitcoin rush!
mircea_popescu: and that's well... harder to pretend "we're progressing" and that dietary restrictions are "for your own health"
nubbins`: y'know, i started stockpiling food and water long before i started stockpiling precious metals and btc
nubbins`: priorities, yes?
mircea_popescu: this stockpiling theory...
asciilifeform: 'the lead standard.'
mircea_popescu: suppose you were the one guy in leningrad with a basement full of ham.
mircea_popescu: soooo ?
nubbins`: so you get to stay in said basement and never come out for fear of being ripped to pieces by hungry neighbours
mircea_popescu: right.
nubbins`: win-win
ThickAsThieves: so now you have a lot of ham and people to eat
mircea_popescu: because they can't force their way in. you can't currently keep the police at bay from your basement
mircea_popescu: and you'kll somehow keep a horde at bay. through what means.
ThickAsThieves: bitcoin
nubbins`: well, the police only know i have stockpiles of food because i've entered it into the public record.
pankkake: that's why you should actually stockpile tanks
nubbins`: waaaaaitaminute
pankkake: and/or bunkers
mircea_popescu: i guess you could always threaten to post on bitcointalk if they scam you of your ham...
ThickAsThieves: i stockpile stockpiles
nubbins`: hahaha
asciilifeform: airplanes.
asciilifeform: a stockpile of one might suffice.
mircea_popescu: an airplane stockpile,
mircea_popescu: with maple syrup
nubbins`: anyway, it's not a bad idea. suppose you get laid off, having 6 months of food is a big help
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i can't remember a time when my largest expense was food.
nubbins`: suppose the power goes for the better part of a week in the dead of winter. having a big pile of kerosene is a big help
mike_c: my stockpile
nubbins`: suppose the faucet starts spitting brown water. having a big pile of jugged water is a big help
ThickAsThieves: you stockpile .jpg files?
nubbins`: tat, suppose something happens to my wife?
mike_c: yes. smaller than bmp
mircea_popescu: mike_c i see your stockpile and i rase you a titpile. http://www.smeddley.com/crafts/crochet/pile-of-boobs.jpg
nubbins`: heh
nubbins`: nice tits
mike_c: oh wow. you win.
deadweasel: nubbins, what happens if the police decide they want your stockpiles?
deadweasel: why would you enter it into the public record?
asciilifeform: why on earth would you do that
mike_c: he already did. about 20 lines up.

mircea_popescu: can't tell if trolling or retarded quite to the degree ?
jcpham: jurov`

mircea_popescu: by the invisible hand ...
asciilifeform: by many inefficient little hands.
mircea_popescu: but he just claimed it fails to make itself visible...
asciilifeform: he is referring, i think, to the american belief that 'market' can provide for ad infinitum continuation of 'business as usual.'
mircea_popescu: well that'd be retarded i guess.
mircea_popescu: the invisible hand doth not denote this hand that'll do what you bid it do.
mircea_popescu: it doth denote instead this hand which will beat you until you do what it bids you.
asciilifeform: it's been phrased as 'invisible tentacle, rapes well.'
mircea_popescu: Unaccustomed to operating outside the law and having few connections with the criminal underworld, they are slow to penetrate the black market, which now offers the only way to obtain many necessary items, such as food, cooking fuel and medicines, including the items that had been previously looted from their own stockpiles. Worse yet, they once again become estranged from one another: their acquaintances and friendshi

When they are forced to turn to scavenging, outright theft and looting, prostitution, black market dealing and consorting with criminals, they can no longer recognize in each other the people they knew before, and the laboriously synthesized community again dissolves into nuclear families.
mircea_popescu: ahaha NUCLEAR FAMILIES

Venat: man I need to fucking kill somebody

mircea_popescu: The current way of changing the rules involves lobbying, deliberation, legislation and litigationtime-consuming, expensive activities for which there will be neither the time nor the resources. There are no non-destructive ways to decomplexify complex systems

nubbins`: blockchain chain letters?
mircea_popescu: bitbet did the same to a number of different processes, even if teh community has not quite grasped how
nubbins`: enlighten me here
mircea_popescu: nubbins` anything the computer do you can do, by hand
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to the livestock, a court that can't have them shot isn't a 'real court' quite yet.

asciilifeform: still ambling about as zombie, though.
asciilifeform: who will put him to rest?
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you think about it, bitbet isn't "a betting site". bitbet is bitcoi ncourt, which is to say a quick and flexible system to resolve disputes.
nubbins`: well yes, obv it can be done by hand. is that feasible?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` anything is feasible to the hungry.
pankkake: hard to prevent double spend
mircea_popescu: pankkake why ?

pankkake: let's say you give him a tx or even a private key to pay the guy
asciilifeform: pankkake: this is where the shortwave comes in.

mircea_popescu: "quickly".
mircea_popescu: that's meaningless. "as quickly as feasible". if there's no internet that quckly slows down
mircea_popescu: but it remains quickly.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, mechanical calculators and hashing ftw.
nubbins`: pankkake, it's but a solar flare away
mircea_popescu: pankkake just because you happen to be culturally immersed in the computers-and-internet thing
pankkake: no, the thing is, remove computers, you kill a lot of much more important stuff

nubbins`: wait, it's not "deported"

mircea_popescu: only if you live in a shitty country to which you souldn't be paying taxes anyway
pankkake: "invited for a holiday"?

nubbins`: a $200 fine
nubbins`: pankkake: you can refuse invitations
mircea_popescu: if he didn't pay his taxes at least he could still be a vory.

nubbins`: ha, there ya go
blastbob: i have saved 1 BTC each of my closest friends
deadweasel: Give her none, she already has your fathers
nubbins`: deadweasel has it figured out
blastbob: so when i ask them for joining me on a vacation and they say i cannot afford it
blastbob: i pull the btc card
blastbob: :P
nubbins`: ha
deadweasel: don't pull it for 10 years, travel to MPs moonbase where pleasurebots pleasure you while the masses toil at manual hashing.
nubbins`: nice
nubbins`: would rather the bots toil and the masses pleasure me tbh
mike_c: not us deadweasel, we're associates.
mike_c: no manual hashing for us
nubbins`: it's what, < 300 btc to go to space?
mike_c: holy shit. yeah.

nubbins`: mircea_popescu: robots don't belong on dicks
nubbins`: too much to go wrong
mircea_popescu: would you rather have a welt or aids ?
mike_c: with badbios floating around, you just can't trust those robots anymore
nubbins`: those are my only options?!
mircea_popescu: it's badbios not badbutts tho
pankkake: never tried a fleshlight. does it really work?
deadweasel: yes, I don't recall fondly my teenage daliance with a pool intake pipe.... dicks should not go in there, lest they never come out.
nubbins`: pankkake: in the sense that fucking anything soft will work, i'd imagine
mircea_popescu: pankkake i recall a bukkake scene where one fo the guys couldn't cum on the girl
nubbins`: pankkake: just roll a slice of bologna around your dick and squat it between two mattresses
mircea_popescu: so eventually he got some plastic blender thing, did it in that
mircea_popescu: then dutifully poured it on her
mircea_popescu: i laughed my ass off
nubbins`: lel
mircea_popescu: fucking surreal.
nubbins`: CV: "can only cum in blenders"
deadweasel: i think the food-network picked him up for an upcoming late night series.
nubbins`: now that's the sort of guy who would choose the pleasurebot

mircea_popescu: well for the japanese sex is hard work
mircea_popescu: all that nutty bondage and whatnot
nubbins`: pankkake: like the guys who go "HRRRRRRR NNNNRRRRRGGGGHHHH" and like 5cc dribbles out?
mircea_popescu: pankkake you couldn't cum too if you styuck a needle in your penis
pankkake: thankfully my favorite porn source has the tag "female.completion"
nubbins`: and they have to milk their dicks like empty toothpaste tubes to even get that much?

mircea_popescu: print it on plastic.
mircea_popescu: or laminate the paper sheet
pankkake: carve it
mircea_popescu: in bronze
mircea_popescu: but srsly mike_c, safes are a bad idea for holding valuables.
mike_c: i'm not thinking for burglar protection, just fire/water. i mean, what do you guys actually do? carve the backup in bronze and bury it?
asciilifeform: photo etch on a circuit board substrate. $100 of chemical junk suffices. lasts for millenia, good up to 5-600C maybe.
mike_c: hehe
mircea_popescu: stuff of that nature.
bVector: ehh copper isnt the best for corrosion
mike_c: crazy. ok, i'll re-think.
mircea_popescu: a good solution is to gpg it and publish it for instance.
asciilifeform: it will corrode but won't come off the board.
mike_c: ah, now that's a good idea
mike_c: thanks
mircea_popescu: mike_c the reason the girl keeps saying "six months to a year" is quite this : so much shit needs pondering.
