benkay: nubbins' this whole pubkey in public thing is a bit declasse, you know? "here's where you can send me money" printed on things is a bit tacky.
benkay: now as part of a jewelry, discreet and all, that might be an interesting thing.
dio_: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=339544.0 did this guy lose $7k because his originating transfer from a dumb company didnt include a 7 cents-or-so transaction fee
ozbot: BitBet Stole ~$7,000 from me (10 BTC)
dio_: ?
benkay: no because his transaction didn't clear before the deadline
benkay: subtle distinction many people fail to understand. requires intimate understanding of the blockchain etc.
dio_: didnt clear because the lack of transaction fee...
dio_: unless you didnt read that
benkay: it may as well say "because he's an idiot who doesn't understand the bitcoin protocol"
benkay: people who don't understand how things actually work are generally going to fuck themselves.
dio_: was the originating transfer from a dumb company that dint include an approximate 7 cent transsaciton fee that would have accleerated propgaation of the transaction enough to be acceptec by thte deadline? if not yes or no....any guess on probability?
dio_: i can run that through spell check if anyones having issues
dio_: seems to be the case
benkay: yup sounds right to me
benkay: basically some idiot had a dependency in his financial toolchain whose impacts on sending money he didn't understand.
dio_: no reason to spout ad hominems...
dio_: i was trying to be logical
benkay: it is the fate of all who do not grok their computation platforms to forever wail and thrash in incompetent rage at their continuing inability to do business and acquire as much capital as their self-image indicates they should have
benkay: this story is SO OLD

benkay: if you can't handle txn fees, and you don't understand their impact on transactions, you don't hold bitcoin for long.
dio_: who are you talking to?
benkay: well the 'you' thing is a conversational construct
benkay: i could just as well have written 'one'
benkay: but it's really for you.
dio_: try and answer questions quicker dude
benkay: you're investigating this months old thing where someone tried to slip in under the wire of a bet before it closed, but sent from a not-really-a-wallet-wallet and so didn't have a txn fee, which meant their txn had to wait for the first friendly miner including zero fee blocks.
benkay: blocks -> transactions

Vexual: no scammy?
Diablo-D3: some companies DO make "no payments until future date" things
Diablo-D3: not all of them are
Diablo-D3: no interest != doesn't have to cover minimum payment
Diablo-D3: no interest is no interest
Vexual: so whats that called? sneaky?
Diablo-D3: and Ive seen ones which have interest but have "no payment until the future"
Diablo-D3: Vexual: its called standard business practices
Diablo-D3: its not even sneaky if they're up front about it

Diablo-D3: its a city, and the guy is still a mayor
Vexual: he can fart and make a law for every guy that works on wall st
Diablo-D3: not really.
Diablo-D3: thats up to congress
Diablo-D3: ny state rarely interferes with financial concerns like that
Diablo-D3: nyc isnt even the biggest city in the world
Vexual: i know its kinda academic, but he influences peoples lives
Diablo-D3: he does
Diablo-D3: but not in major ways
Diablo-D3: now, where people park? where schools are built (but not the funding to build)? how many black people get arrested for being black? thats totally the mayor's thing
Diablo-D3: hell, even the building of the new WTC, the mayor's office had very little input on it and would have to sign off on it no matter if they liked it or not due to how high profile it is
Vexual: youre probably right
Vexual: ydo you think he has more power in his news agency?
Diablo-D3: its not his

monolithik: so I was recently reading nick szabo's bgold article.
monolithik: and I wondered, who is this guy? Ignoring the question of whether he is satoshi or not, who is he? Other than his website and blog, he's basically a ghost online
monolithik: I found a conference on smart contracts that he supposedly spoke at, but not much else
mircea_popescu: he is a very smart anthropologist
mircea_popescu: with a bunch of oblique interests.
monolithik: As far back as 1994 on the cypherpunk mailing list, people questioned whether szabo was a real person
monolithik: "The Szabo tentacle is one of the most persistent of all. Even after"

nubbins`: seems like the legal concept of expropriation flies right in the face of the right to property
pankkake: why wouldn't it?
pankkake: I know a guy with similar ideas (property=everything). gets interesting discussions about exploding couches
Nick_Szabo: why cant they coexist nubs?
Nick_Szabo: these contradictions are everywhere
nubbins`: well, so i have the right to property
nubbins`: city says hey, lel, we want to do X with your property
Nick_Szabo: the gov also takes life when it sees fit

pankkake: canada has no army?

nubbins`: i mean, really, until we got involved in afghanistan and iraq, the canadian army generally didn't kill anyone
nubbins`: anyway, pretty heavy lel that the USA enshrines the right to life in their declaration of independence, but has the death penalty
pankkake: yet issues with abortion and euthanasia! why not kill everyone
ThickAsThieves: reddit is in love with Andreas Antonopoulis lately
nubbins`: pankkake: anti-choice crowd says life begins at conception, right?
ThickAsThieves: probly depends who you ask
pankkake: something like that
nubbins`: consider that more than 50% of fertilized eggs fail to implant in the uterus wall
pankkake: but it's not easy to define "life"
nubbins`: MORE THAN HALF of the "babies" die in the womb fully on their own
pankkake: and then independant life. is the baby a parasite?
nubbins`: "pro-life" crowd gives zero fucks about this
nubbins`: it's almost like it's not about life, but about controlling women's pussies
pankkake: I've spent *years* of my trolling career on the topic - not by choice really, just was the issue we didn't agree on
KRS|Gotyawallet: its all about dat ass
Duffer1: it's pro life until you're born, then it's "fuck you"
nubbins`: Duffer1: +1
pankkake: of course. everyone has an hidden agenda
nubbins`: it's almost like having to carry an unwanted baby to term is punishment for being a dirty slut
deadweasel: nope, it's in the faq
ThickAsThieves: it might be a male control thing in the sense that,
nubbins`: their argument is based in morals, just not the morals that you think they're arguing for :D
ThickAsThieves: they want to be deciding what gets aborted and what doesnt
ThickAsThieves: not the woman
nubbins`: tat, might be? :D
pankkake: I don't particularly enjoy abortion-as-contraception
nubbins`: pankkake: neither do women.
pankkake: though less babies is always a win!
ThickAsThieves: itd be a crime if some woman killed your baby, or if some daughter deprived you of your grandkid
pankkake: eh… they might not enjoy it after the fact, sure
nubbins`: anti-choice folks like to pretend that women having abortions think it's all a big lel
nubbins`: failing to understand that it's a life-altering choice either way
nubbins`: consider that canada has no abortion laws whatsoever, and we still manage to have a functioning society

pankkake: interesting

ThickAsThieves: there ya go
ThickAsThieves: property
the20year: but it isn't a person
pankkake: at what point your sperm (or its mutation) ceases to be your property?
the20year: and the problem lies that either people are human for a set number of traits, or they are not, and inside or outside the womb isn't much of a qualifier
benkay: or we could just bring back the notion that property is the only constant and that humans too can be property.
benkay: not a terribly popular stance, but resolves this question about who does what with the newt.
pankkake: so all your children are property? until…?
benkay: they can feed themselves?

mike_c: well for the record, they do still seem to be maintaining their all-time list at http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/
pankkake: it seems doctors don't want to give IUDs to females without children
mike_c: and I'll email them and ask them whether they are pro-life or pro-choice.
the20year: Some do, some do not, I know when planned parenthood here in the US offered free IUDs to anyone that wanted them, the rate of abortions in that area went down significantly for quite some time
nubbins`: IUDs are a bit more painful to insert if you haven't had a kid yet
nubbins`: that said, they're more effective than condoms or the pill
nubbins`: relatively inexpensive over their lifespan
nubbins`: (3-10 years)
nubbins`: and you get to fuck without a rubber.
