bloctoc: KRS1 - I suppose I fit the definition of one of the shills who was pumping Ripple last year and is on to mastercoin this year. I moved all my ripples to mastercoin last night. Why? I'm convinced that Enron got gutted instead of highly leveraged company x because they pretty much gave the finger to the rest of the trading community at every opportunity. I see Ripple (commercial version) guys having done the same thing to the
bloctoc: bitcoin community. I don't know what the alternatives are with colored coins, but I really like the idea of reversible transactions using mastercoin.
mircea_popescu: bloctoc why ?
mircea_popescu: (do you like the idea of reversible transactions)
bloctoc: I have enough bitcoins sitting on my laptop that I fear theft.
mircea_popescu: but he who can reverse transactions can steal them
mircea_popescu: this is a degradation of your security.
bloctoc: …and I can't seem to build trust to trade in bitcoin-otc I'm hoping that reversible transactions helps there too.
mircea_popescu: but i fail to see the logic, if you don't like the bitcoin in bitcoin why not just sell them for fiat or rubber tyres or w./e that better suits your needs.
bloctoc: I traded bitcoin for mastercoin because I want to try out a p2p passthrough for mpex.co
bloctoc: if colored coins is better for that, then I'm all ears. I'm not dogmatic.
mircea_popescu: i'm not dogmatic either, contrary to what you may have heard :)

pankkake: mastercoin: "Peer to Peer Exchange, User Currencies, Savings Wallets, Smart Property, and Future Event Contacts"
pankkake: besides the misspelling "contacts", I'm not sure what's the point of a blockchain
pankkake: for OTC trading I've even made *throwable* contracts; when it's done no need to keep it
pankkake: however perhaps a web of trust on the blockchain could be useful
mircea_popescu: yeah. i agree pankkake, i can't discern any point where this diverges from bitcoin differently than simple ignorance.
pankkake: "user currencies" is actually a good idea, but it's decentralized (except its trading between users); you'd have an issuer
pankkake: makes a better Ripple in any case
mircea_popescu: everyone : there's a new ipmi exploit, it's perfectly capable to root your box.
mircea_popescu: if your ipmi interface is exposed ot the public internet you're at risk
pankkake: I've seen that, scary… pretty sure my server in a datacenter has ipmi, I don't know how filtered it is
mircea_popescu: this is why kvm over local ip is so much better
mircea_popescu: then again, ipmi si cheaper.
pankkake: yeah, that's the thing
pankkake: but hardware with those fancy web interfaces is such a bad idea
pankkake: there's been many router hacks etc
mircea_popescu: at least the router you can configure to only be accessible from the in side.
mircea_popescu: which is how they default
pankkake: usually. there's been examples in the wild of the contrary
pankkake: and then there's the default passwords
pankkake: or defaulting to WEP

benkay: slavery's the default state, yo. just because democracy has been here for the past several however long doesn't mean that either a) it eradicated things that look like what americans would knee-jerk call 'slavery' instantly upon governmental instantiation OR b) it worked well and can be used as a demonstration of why all other forms of government are bad
benkay: regular turnover at the top is required, dammit!
benkay: and that comes with bloodshed.
mircea_popescu: he has a point tho. it doesn't HAVE to come with bloodshed.
mircea_popescu: the idea is to not arrange economic incentives so that anyone is better served by denying another's competence than by recognising it.
mircea_popescu: in this sense, democracy is possibly the worst system, inasmuch as look at all the wrangling in the forums re mpex.
benkay: democracy is worst because it tends towards denying competence instead of recognizing it?
mircea_popescu: it incentivizes people to deny competence instead of recognising it, yes.
benkay: it conflates competence with acreditation, too
jurov`: i dont believe democracy particularly stands out
jurov`: people promote competence only in times of need
jurov`: otherwise it's petty games
mircea_popescu: well, i'd state that as "people are willing to step on their unwarranted self delusions of grandeur and recognise other's superiority only when hunger or fear compels them to"
mircea_popescu: obviously exceptions, what we call gentlemen, exist.
mircea_popescu: these are probably going to stay exceptions
mircea_popescu: more generally : on any particular question you will always find more people who made a mistake than people who got it right. this is the very nature of error. if voting decides what's error and what's not then there will be nothing but errors.
mircea_popescu: democracy fundamentally incentivizes people to be wrong.
benkay: how? i understand the majority of a group of humans being wrong about things, but how do you get from that to democracy incentivizing people to be wrong?
mircea_popescu: well, would you rather lose the elections or win the elections ?
benkay: oh, so the guy on the podium says things that are wrong to get the votes
benkay: "i stand for giving everyone a buttcoin!"
mircea_popescu: it's visible there, but otherwise ubiquitous.
benkay: "vote derp 2020!"
mircea_popescu: why do you think people watch the crud "entertainment" produced these days ?
nubbins`: it certainly incentivizes people to pretend they know what they're doing, even when they fully do not
mircea_popescu: because it's good ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i think that's the most visible form of the thing, "so this guy can drive, well, so can I. watch me"
nubbins`: combine that with the fact that for some reason, admitting you were wrong is a death blow in politics
nubbins`: people will just drive the car off the cliff rather than let someone else take over the wheel -- or even suggest which direction to turn!
mircea_popescu: luckily we have enough cars.
nubbins`: and deep canyons
jurov`: again, doesn't a despot have to do the same?
jurov`: what's to do with democracy?
mircea_popescu: a despot has to be good enough to survive.
nubbins`: jurov, this is common among all forms of leadership
nubbins`: not restricted to democracy
mircea_popescu: the voter faces no such challenge (and in fact the only funds diverted from filing canyons with crumpled cars go to ensure elector never faces any inconvenience)
mircea_popescu: no, i really beleive it's not the same thing. the despot is perpetually at danger for hius life.
nubbins`: the politician believes his situation to be just as serious, however naively
jurov`: would that improve or impair his rational skills? i'm not sure
jurov`: being at danger for one's life can improve fighting skills... but statesman skills? dunno
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the politician is unimportant. compare the sovereigns. elector vs tyrant.
mircea_popescu: jurov` well, it may or may not improve skills, but it does incentivize the right way at least.
mircea_popescu: scared tyrants aren't particularly dangerous. it's the tyrants that perceive themselves safe, a la stalin or the voting public in france/us/sweden/etc that are dangerous.

pankkake: actually, I was thinking of how much services end up as extra btc from people dying etc
mircea_popescu: Bitcoin price to rise above 1000
mircea_popescu: Rejection reason: Too late. lol good 1
pankkake: on shares migrations, I can see some shares are unacounted for
mircea_popescu: well this is yet another point where bitbet design shines. we don't ever have thios problem

mircea_popescu: this sounds like a problem.

benkay: hey mircea_popescu would you elaborate on how you envision bitbet replacing the courts system?
mircea_popescu: a bet is a controversy in fact, anchored in the future.
mircea_popescu: a suit steams from a controversy in fact, anchored in the past.
mircea_popescu: as the future eventualyl turns into past, what bitbet has to do and what the courts have to do are homomorphic : establish what the words say, what the facts are and how the two relate.
mircea_popescu: i've quite deliberately constructed it so a lot of triage of facts can be easily done by the users
mircea_popescu: (the constant, leave proof in comments thing, for instance)
mircea_popescu: that's a stem. it can further develop.
mircea_popescu: this is incidentally not so different from the core principles of the rota system,
mircea_popescu: where parties to the controversy also had to deliberately submit to judgement and advance bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: bitbet is a superset of that, really.

benkay: if building reserves just makes one a milky cow, wat the f do?
benkay: make friends with criminals and broker their bitcoin purchases, thereby positioning self well for imminent shitstorm?
KRS1: hate to ask this here..i value the opinion of you guys..do you think the site litecoinstore.com is legit
Duffer1: i have lost faith in everything that isn't bitcoin itself
Duffer1: go with the assumption it's a scam
benkay: man at a 15% markup for converting your btc to cash that's a rawwww deal
KRS1: thats what im thinking
KRS1: benkay i found theres a price to pay one way or the other
benkay: either time to meet someone in person, or money to save the time

mircea_popescu: dexX7 well since i have all this code...
mircea_popescu: by now it's almost worth it to pay for php developers simply to give me trilema article material which then gets me trilema credits which are btc
mircea_popescu: i suspect the whole thing's better than mining.
dexX7: sounds like a masterplan
KRS1: does it even have to be php cant it be any content thats sought after
KRS1: seo it up dude
KRS1: download an entir KB
KRS1: ftw
KRS1: grab a leet feed..any number of things would work wouldnt it?
mircea_popescu: i've yet to see a leeter feed than trilema.
Duffer1: do you have any articles about noobs that lose everything?
dexX7: uh oh
Duffer1: hehe
Duffer1: wts sob story only 182b
mircea_popescu: well i do occasionally cover various scams etc.
Duffer1: he's probably got too much material for blogs posts about that anyways :(
dexX7: what happend? did you have anything picostocks listed or is it just a general sadness about scams?
Duffer1: the labcoin scam
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 7653 @ 0.000805 = 6.1607 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: tsk tsk.
mircea_popescu: the truth of the matter is, scams are nearly magical, in that they manage to take in people seemingly irrespective of iq etc.
dexX7: what i think is shocking is that so many things ended bad.. chinese exchanges, inputs.io, basic-mining, labcoin, picostocks, bitfunder..
dexX7: totally hurts my illusion of a happy btc world
Duffer1: it's impressive just how bad they ended as well, virtually worst case scenario for all of them
benkay: lower barriers to entry mean lower quality of entrants
benkay: lower quality entrants attract sharks
Bugpowder: ;;seen ThickAsThieves
gribble: ThickAsThieves was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 hours, 23 minutes, and 32 seconds ago: <ThickAsThieves> can the statue be riding a unicycle whilst making the claim?
dexX7: hehe well put..
mircea_popescu: benkay has a point, but the matter is significantly complicated by a large enough population of functionally illiterate people who've been fed for decades on the illusion that someone else is there to protect them
mircea_popescu: and that they don't need to think or do any useful work or manage their own lives or contribute anything worth the mention.
mircea_popescu: put that together with a no-backsies medium and you're definitely attracting sharks.

dexX7: yes, it was that time
mircea_popescu: you ended up on the list there by virtue of being in the thread
dexX7: yup
dexX7: i still believe in burnside though
lewicki: what is burnside up to?
dexX7: "cooperates with scammers, fakes volume"
mircea_popescu: working with nefario to invent the exchange of the future.
