mircea_popescu: strictly an artefact of the flat national state. does not exist in sane environments.
mircea_popescu: and it is fundamentally not a scam, but an example of structure ATTACKING flatness.
truffles: is that your manual mp?
truffles: must be juicy read
mircea_popescu: structure is being reconstructed, which at the very far edge of course looks quite immoral. everything does. the civilising of barbarians, be they africans or 5 year olds, the birth of capitaism,
mircea_popescu: all attacks of a complex, superior system upon a primitive look like rape. in a sense they are.
mircea_popescu: in that sense, rape is the best thing that can ever happen to the victim.
truffles: sigh
mircea_popescu: converse attacks, where flatness attacks structure, can't even exist.

mircea_popescu: accorfding to the largest stock in the marketplace it's more like 0.5 - 0.2% a year
herbijud1estoids: ThickAsThieves: i would check the model to make sure its not broken and if not probly trade on a volatility adjusted level...i like ~15%/pa STDDEV

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that part shouldn't be too hard.

BingoBoingo: pankkake: A plus of MD4 coin is you can pretty much instamine and them market make. Click post on the forum to make the thread. Then start your miner then... Profit! Chain mined before the thread gets a reply.
pankkake: you can instamine anything as long as the difficulty is low, or diff adjustment is bad

mircea_popescu: this has a lot of implications for noob bitcoin devs btw
mircea_popescu: The scary thing was that I only thought of the true implications of this attack days later. As I was contemplating what had happened and how I could prevent it in the future, a very frightening thought occurred to me. This attacker started with Amazon because he knew that a commerce shopping site’s customer support would be relatively easy to convince and use to gain access to my account. However, that same site offe
mircea_popescu: rs cloud services that many startups rely on to host their data. My startup, Droplr, is completely based on Amazon’s stack, from using EC2 servers where we host all of our technology to S3, which we use for file storage. This attacker had access to all of it. I was extremely lucky that in his rush to gain access to @jb, he didn’t think to check if my account had anything under AWS.
ThickAsThieves: also good advice to not use your custom google apps domain email for registrations

mike_c: hehe
mircea_popescu: not everything is a brothel.
mike_c: i would like to be able to use mpex with keys that i sign from my master key that i've registered with you. then i could use cardano with it.

mircea_popescu: "take the ugly pill and shut up"
mircea_popescu: there you go breaking my eastern bloc ideals.
mircea_popescu: mike_c if you're really paranoid you can locally generate and sign pushes after each stat.
mircea_popescu: that way, even if you lose your key you can wipe your account for later.
mircea_popescu: and it's better in that i don't even need to verify anything.
mike_c: hm, that's interesting. i'll have to build that into pympex v2
mircea_popescu: do you understand the model i mean ?
mike_c: yeah
mircea_popescu: like you now use key a, and spare is key b. after each stat for each asset push x to b signed and stored.
davout: why after each stat?
mircea_popescu: you can store the stuff as a list encrypted to b
mike_c: after each stat so you push all your assets (which changes..)
davout: why not once for each asset with some high value
mircea_popescu: davout well that's the point where you find what assets you have.
davout: just make a stat per asset, and add pushes as assets are added to mpex
davout: sorry a push per asset
mircea_popescu: you gotta specify qty
jurov: if qty is 99999999, it won't work?
davout: can't you say a bazillion and it takes the min from the qty and your holdings?

Diablo-D3: second, didnt nginx already surplant apache?
Diablo-D3: only legacy sites run apache anymore

Diablo-D3: apache is still a lot slower than nginx, and I dont know why

kingofsports: mircea i saw the large option purchase on btctalk...it looks like it was puts being bought not calls as u said in chat.
chipug: thanks mircea_popescu, still a bit wide eyed in life has to be said. explanation: gvt are investigating bitcoin in scotland and the procurator fiscals have decided its bad and dodgy etc etc and they are having another conference. I had wondered if it might help if someone explained where they are wrong
ThickAsThieves: it was Puts being sold
kingofsports: since when is assbot connected to havelock?
ThickAsThieves: since ages
mircea_popescu: chipug well, if they want to listen, sure.
the20year1: Quite a while
kingofsports: ah cool
the20year1: although it doesn't get all their trades
jurov: So they sold puts to mpoebot?
ThickAsThieves: as i understand it
kakobrekla: what do you mean it doest get all their trades?!
mircea_popescu: kingofsports puts sold short = long play, which is what i said.
ThickAsThieves: he means it doesnt print tiny ones in this chan
chipug: really? happily noted
kingofsports: so wait...i thought he bought the option to buy like 5-10k btc if price falls below 500 or whatever he chose (some 470 445 and 410). how is this a long play?
mircea_popescu: o, that. so go to #bitcoin-assets-trades for all the dust.
mircea_popescu: kingofsports mno, he sold puts.
jurov: either they got margin from mp or they needed 50k collateral O.o
kingofsports: to who? mpex buys puts? i thought u just wrote them
kingofsports: so your betting BTC prices fall below $500.
benkay: "market maker" is the term of art kingofsports
chipug: is it possible for one country to ban bitcoin and everyone else use it still or would others just follow suit you think?
benkay: chipug: again, don't think in terms of people doing stuff to bitcoin. bitcoin is here, and the world must now deal with it. that in now way entails saying no to the changes it will bring.
kingofsports: how long is the option good for?
benkay: kingofsports: options called out with a T are for this month, N for next.
jurov: Feb 28
kingofsports: mpex paid him .488 per BTC for a 30 day option for $500 or below...that seems like way too much.
jurov: it's in need of rewrite but basic info is there
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 1 @ 0.13 BTC [-]
kakobrekla: i think kingofsports got the denomination wrong
mircea_popescu: kingofsports they all expire last fri of month
kingofsports: it said 1000 @ .488 = 488 btc
kingofsports: for the $500 one.
mike_c: it's $5,000
kakobrekla: not per BTC
jurov: yes but the strike is actually 5000 USD/BTC
mircea_popescu: technically the lot is .1 but same effect.
kingofsports: this shit is so confusing. on mpoe it says $500 strike price. put option. a put cant be a strike price above the current price...2nd why would mpex pay .488 BTC per 1 BTC option for $5000 strike price. that is an insane fee. i wouldnt pay more than 0.05
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 22250 @ 0.000931 = 20.7148 BTC [+] {4}
mike_c: kingofsports:
kakobrekla: kingofsports thats why you dont have 5k btc or w/e
kakobrekla: yees mike is more helpful
mike_c: i'm in a good mood today
mircea_popescu: kingofsports the losts are .1 btc dood.
kakobrekla: its a dBTC denomination
kakobrekla: took it after Bit4x
kakobrekla: bastard.
Duffer1: kingofsports the ticker would read 050 if the strike was 500$
mike_c: no, they are lots of 100 hBTC
Duffer1: 500 is 5000$
kingofsports: okay got the 5000 down.
ThickAsThieves: yes, the extra 0 costs mpex too much
mircea_popescu: 0s are the most expensive part of finance.
mike_c: bandwidth isn't free
mircea_popescu: rest is easy.
kingofsports: now what is 1000 @ .488 = 488 BTC mean? No way mpex bought that option for 488 BTC.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 2 @ 0.129 = 0.258 BTC [-] {2}
kingofsports: I'd sell that option anyday. 400% gain in price in 30 days. VERY doubtful.
mircea_popescu: kingofsports mpoe bot bought 1k lots of .1 btc for .488 each, worth 488 total
kingofsports: so for .488 BTC you have the ability to buy how many BTC option wise for $5000 should it reach that pricew?
kakobrekla: 22:33.28 ( kingofsports ) I'd sell that option anyday. 400% gain in price in 30 days. VERY doubtful. < never happend in btc, ever.
kingofsports: thats why kako. if mpoe wants that option for such a huge gain id offer it.
mircea_popescu: kingofsports, calculate for me the present value of one put option on 1 btc struck at 5000 dollars.
kingofsports: .488 BTC
mircea_popescu: calculate it, dun copy/paste numbers at me
davout: lol
mircea_popescu: what's this, school ?
kingofsports: according to your site its .488 BTC for 1 BTC option.
kingofsports: for 30 days, $5000 strike.
mircea_popescu: never mind that. this is a basic skill, calculating present value of options. do so.
jurov: ;;calc (5000-852)/852
gribble: 4.86854460094
mike_c: brown nose ;)
kingofsports: (5000-800)/(800-(.48 x 800)
mircea_popescu: so there you have it, jurov enables cheating and thus ensuring people never learn anything.
mircea_popescu: wait what ?!
kingofsports: guess im wrong.
mircea_popescu: puts present value is (strike - spot) / spot.
mircea_popescu: so yeah, a 1 btc put struck at 5k is worth tm about 4.86 btc.
mircea_popescu: since these are .1 btc lots, they sold for .488
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3060 @ 0.00092406 = 2.8276 BTC [-]
mike_c: i always think of it as (strike / spot) - 1
mike_c: value - cost
kingofsports: its a put at 5000 oh.
kingofsports: i thought u couldnt offer a put when the strike price is below current price.
jurov: and why is mpoe buying them at present value?
mircea_popescu: mike_c that also works. it's really basic fractions after all.
kingofsports: i mean above
mike_c: yeah, just a different mental model
kingofsports: strike price above current price. thought that would only be a call type option.
mircea_popescu: jurov apparently mpoe doesn't think 852 is the number.
the20year1: I think everything is approved at havelock now mike_c
mike_c: time value!
the20year1: Should be releasing shares Friday
kakobrekla: be careful TO spend it before it hits 4k
mike_c: it's basically buying them at present value and paying nothing for time value
mircea_popescu: mike_c it paid a little!
mike_c: yes, a little
jurov: but if price will get > 850 on opex mpoe will lose
jurov: and if it will be ~ 1400 it will be ~50% loss
jurov: poor bondholder
mike_c: mpoe doesn't have to wait til the end to exercise
mike_c: any time between now and then that it's profitable it can close (and does)

kakobrekla: without him knowing ofc.
kakobrekla: or is that just too evil
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: i doubt it :)
kakobrekla: well i doubt i couldnt yea
kakobrekla: but i guess the collateral damage is too great.
herbijudlestoids: to draw a normal distribution youd need to eliminate points from the dataseries, to kill off the tails
kakobrekla: but i can make up any arbitrary new center of the gauss
herbijudlestoids: and lets say whatever plan you come up with has an unintended consequence which leads to a vol spike, fat tails again :P
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: What about tits? First get him to draw 4 tits, and then make them bigger tits.
herbijudlestoids: sure you can, but how will you actually do that in the market
herbijudlestoids: im skeptical :)
kakobrekla: i dont have to do it on the market ;)

mircea_popescu: we've long solved this problem really.
mircea_popescu: you take two professional joggers and dress them up in facebook polo shirts.
herbijudlestoids: hey Duffer1: on your advice i made the thing into a blog post...aside from a kind word from jurov the response was pretty underwhelming :P http://bitquant.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/just-dice-kelly-criterion-sensitivity.html
mircea_popescu: " That's a lot to pay for a single Bitcoin for someone just entering the market. "
dub: this is why we ignore australia
mircea_popescu: seriously, this is what they write now.
pankkake: "Money, like every commodity, works best when the supply can adjust efficiently to the demand." that is EXACTLY bernankoin
pankkake: doge is still inflating less each year
pankkake: in percent
mircea_popescu: pankkake it's fascinating how they completely gloss over the part where one group (the scammers behind it) stole the resources of the rest of the people involved (every idiot that bought some, mined some, or pumped it up until two days ago)
mircea_popescu: this happens, of course, tol ALSO be exactly how "normal" fiat currencies like the dollar operate.
mircea_popescu: fuck you granpa, so you've worked for thirty years to make the us work ? here's some inflation. enjoy your fixed income.
mircea_popescu: and the fact that this will continue happening i nthe future, arbitrarily, is like... splendeed.
herbijudlestoids: its worse than that mircea_popescu because not all granpas get it equal
nubbins`: whenever bill nye mentions science, he makes a gesture that indicates he's talking about things that happen outside the building he's in
mircea_popescu: ofcourse.
herbijudlestoids: if you started on the fixed income 10y ago, much better than 5y ago

kakobrekla: pankkake how do bailouts work?
herbijudlestoids: well, i did implement one of my simple mean reversion models for MPOE too, maybe a "trade this and get rich quick" blog post will be more persuasive :P
Duffer1: yea lol that'd do it, even if your blog was hokus pokus magic it'd still be popular
herbijudlestoids: im not doing this for an audience or anything, its all a matter of incidental curiosity, but i thought your suggestion was nice :)
mike_c: herbijudlestoids: you have a question about the data on btcalpha?
mircea_popescu: did you just stick with braindamaged blogspot and then whine that nobody seems to have noticed ?
pankkake: kakobrekla: for now you have to bail yourself out by printing more
pankkake: no central authority
kakobrekla: thats no bailout
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: lol well its not that nobody noticed, the post is *still* getting hits, was referring to a couple of the comments left on /r/BitCoin
pankkake: I'll take better ideas for YellenCoin
kakobrekla: bailout would mean no actual work was done pankkake
herbijudlestoids: mike_c: not a question so much as i dont know who runs/operates the website so i dunno if i can trust the data...just wanted to verify it myself
mike_c: i do.
mike_c: data is culled from monthly reports on trilema. if you want to verify yourself, there are links to all the monthly reports on the left rail of the stock page
herbijudlestoids: dont take offense, how was i supposed to know that :P

nubbins`: 'through the looking-glass' isn't long enough, know what i mean?

herbijudlestoids: must have missed it
herbijudlestoids: benkay: hmmm is there a page on fpcomplete.com which explains what exactly fpcomplete is? :P

nubbins`: kakobrekla: not to mention that most of log isn't worth saving in the first place ;p

nubbins`: can't lift existing art
nubbins`: i suppose we could comb bash for the quotes
nubbins`: could even grab some choice gems from the forum
kakobrekla: thats not good for dubs chi
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: if you google 'ascii art from images' there is plenty :)
herbijudlestoids: plenty of sites that convert images to ascii art, i mean, sorry

herbijudlestoids: make a list of whats officially recognised final g/s and calculate then sum their MVs :P
herbijudlestoids: could be opinionated and start with just, say, bitstamp, bitpay and MPEX
jurov: mpex monthly profit would thengo into gdp?
jurov: you'd end with rather low estimate
antephialtic: or you could use the quantity theory of money to estimate it. Y = MV where Y is output, M is the size of the money supply, and V is the velocity of money. Both M and V are easily computed in the case of bitcoin
jurov: just ask MP, he designated himself as official recognizer of all things btc :D

mircea_popescu: trilema is not interactive ?!
BingoBoingo: Trilema get subscribers.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, if memory serves that thing started as a blog and became subscription based after building a base
mircea_popescu: so do the same thing, write a lot of smart insightful stuff, once you have a ton of readers add a subscription, wait for the cheapskates to butthurt away and that's that.

asciilifeform: (it won't be ECC, it'll be some very spiffy looking lattice work or the like.)
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: bitcoin days destroyed is a decent estimate
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's likely actually
mircea_popescu: antephialtic how do you reason to come to this conclusion ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14200 @ 0.00093713 = 13.3072 BTC [+]
chipug: thanks guys, you know mircea_popescu i think im currently in the waiting for the butthurt folk to piss off lol
asciilifeform: more likely than borked crypto is 'underhanded c contest' shenanigans.
mircea_popescu: what's your blog ?
BingoBoingo: antephialtic: What if someone moves 100K coins from one storage address to another to lessen the chance the coins are on an address that gets vanitygen'd
asciilifeform: once we get an 'alt-artist' who is actually conversant in basic c
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is somewhat like asking for a showgirl that's read the classics.
dub: I am disappoint that you're giving it air
asciilifeform: not a physical impossibility, by any means
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 1 @ 0.13499999 BTC [+]
dub: its just teh same old brain damage
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform merely a mental impossibility :)
mircea_popescu: dub i bet you 90% of the ppl who read it because it's about doge never heard of dump and dillute.
chipug: not a blog, its a chat site. i took on coinchat and totally changed direction. its a bit dead now
mircea_popescu: how can a chat site compete with irc ?!
dub: that trilemna articicle is the single biggest peice of press todate
chipug: cus we have pictures!
asciilifeform: i dare to predict: there will come a slick charlatan who will 'improve! the crypto!'
chipug: and cats
asciilifeform: subtle mathematical boojum in the signing, or, more cleverly, a mining shortcut
mircea_popescu: dub "life is sweat and blood and making love to a woman you don't know and nobody prints your name in trilema until the day you die"
asciilifeform: 'you read it here first'
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: actually that is incorrect. A better measure the amount of bitcoin transferred over a given period/the length of the time period. Very noisy measure, but using a larger time period smooths it out
antephialtic: * better measure is
mircea_popescu: how do you know it smooths out ?
BingoBoingo: Picture!
chipug: i see what you did there
chipug: man i want her shoes
mircea_popescu: someone was talking about my editor ? she's just said to me : "The price of Dogecoin, the world’s third most traded cyrptocurrency / did they seriously publish "cyrptocurrency"?"
mircea_popescu: i think this is memeworthy. the business insider cyrpt occurency.
asciilifeform: this is almost on part with the chinese 'ipnohe'.
asciilifeform: *on par
chipug: lolol
BingoBoingo: Maybe Dogecoin gets a Haircut like Cyprto depositors did
mircea_popescu: antephialtic aha. and ?
mircea_popescu: someone should make a papp to bring cyrpt to the ipnohe.
asciilifeform: cyprtocurrency.
mircea_popescu: maybe it's time for the finchcoin. cirp-cirp-urrency
ron-: does the bitcoin source on bitcoin.org allow you to generate your own custom coins?
ron-: or just client only?
mircea_popescu: with a little awk-ing it should.
asciilifeform: seriously, where are the true masters of the satanic arts. any day now there ought to appear, out of nowhere, an 'alt' genuinely better in every way. written in 50kB of nice, clean whatever. with shiny and apparently flawless, Shor-resistant crypto
ron-: oh
asciilifeform: with subtle bug...
BingoBoingo: So many things for benkay to derive revenue from if only altgen.io
ron-: i compiled it
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: have you looked at counterparty at all?
ron-: problem loading altgen
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the one advantage of all the idiots being on the field is that the smart people kinda tend to just stick into the same team.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic if you expect to justify a theoretical model by the effect it has on data you are living in a state of sin.
ron-: it took me a while to compile the client, i dislike lib boost :|
ron-: well i suppose it is a server too
mircea_popescu: there's an entire rpc boondoogle.
antephialtic: antephialtic: well, in that case I'm living in a state of sin anyway because velocity is traditionally computed from output and money supply. The idea that one can measure it empirically is not really seen in mainstream economics, as far as I can tell from a brief review of the literature
ron-: it was worth doing
ron-: 1.5 hrs maybe
ron-: make -j 1200
asciilifeform: i'm entirely unconvinced that the smart people are automatically on one team.
ron-: jk
mircea_popescu: antephialtic the problem, as BingoBoingo pointed out to you, is that in your model the greatest economic activity will occur whenever a major holder moves cold wallets.
asciilifeform: just that 'the beautiful ones are not yet born.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know what happens to quarreling dogs once they see a wolf ?
KRS-: .bait
asciilifeform: they run?
KRS-: Cool thanks ozbot..ttyl
KRS-: ...fapfapfap
mircea_popescu: they quit bickering.
mircea_popescu: if they run or if they fight, they're doing it together.
ozbot: 2 Oscar winners join TV adaptation of The Book of Negroes - Toronto - CBC News
antephialtic: yes, I'm still thinking about a better way to measure velocity. If a good one is found it would be possible to create an altcoin with an algorithmic central bank that adjusts the block reward dynamically to target a certain output growth.
nubbins`: kakobrekla ^
mircea_popescu: antephialtic which is kind-of why i believe it fundamentally can not be measured.
mircea_popescu: you gotta give something to get something, always.
mircea_popescu: think about for a minute : i could hijack your bank's printing press just by moving my coins around ? sweet moses on a stick, this is like USD 2.0
antephialtic: yes, I agree that the concept has major game theoretic issues. But a coin that solved this issue would be useful primarily as a medium of exchange, rather than as a store of value.
mircea_popescu: why do you think the fiat role as a medium of exchange needs fixing ?
mircea_popescu: i like going aboutg with a wad of cash. works fine.
antephialtic: well, I have doubts about the long-term viability
antephialtic: of the US dollar.
mircea_popescu: right, sure. but some other scrip
mircea_popescu: what diff does it make.
nubbins`: IOUs!
mircea_popescu: you can make vanity money with your face on them
nubbins`: promissory notes
mircea_popescu: as long as you redeem them for btc... they're as good as anything
mircea_popescu: in short, the medium of exchange function of the currency is a minor.
mircea_popescu: Nadia_Comaneci du-te tu ?
chipug: i guess i should get a cryptsy account to get rid of these flipping dogecoins huh
mircea_popescu: just tip them to people.
herbijudlestoids: lol mircea_popescu you are literally the FOFOA of bitcoin, where s/physical gold/bitcoin/
asciilifeform: but who is the F00F of bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: what's a fofoa ?
herbijudlestoids: the freegold guy
herbijudlestoids: fofoa.blogspot.com (don't hate me for blogspot)
mircea_popescu: now we see where you get your bad examples
nubbins`: mircea_popescu, you mention in a couple of articles that bitcoin is deflationary rather than inflationary, and then point to the increasing supply as evidence of this
ozbot: The Pentium F00F Bug
mircea_popescu: believe it or not, my sum total interest for metals (precious and industrial) pre 2010 was pretty much nil.
mircea_popescu: i've looked into it since mostly to try and understand wtf is with these people
mircea_popescu: but i'm still kinda clueless.
herbijudlestoids: well, i would say freegold completely discounts and (if you believe in it) discredits all the goldbug hypothesis bullshit thats out there
mircea_popescu: nubbins` did you dyslexia there ?
nubbins`: er, sorry, yes
nubbins`: the opposite
nubbins`: i don't get it
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: try this one on for size, his articles are quite long but IMHO absolutely worth it (there is a part 2 if you find it interesting enough) http://fofoa.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/moneyness.html
nubbins`: inflation refers to good increasing in price
nubbins`: not necessarily because of an expansion of the money supply
nubbins`: although that's usually the cause
asciilifeform: nubbins`: or, more subtly, failing to decrease in price.
nubbins`: sure, yes.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` inflation has nothing to do with price.
asciilifeform: (when applicable - 'moore's law' and sequelae, etc)
nubbins`: but x bitcoins buys more goods over time
mircea_popescu: inflation is a discussion of monetary base.
mircea_popescu: if tomorrow i invent a new way to make cakes, and cake prices drop 95%
mircea_popescu: this does not mean there's been inflation in the currency
mircea_popescu: (perhaps in the cakes, i guess)
nubbins`: sure, but inflation refers to the general increase
chipug: asshole scams me for 1.6btc > denies it > emails for the new website url = areyoufuckingshittingme? feel like emailing back saying sure thing fuckwit, url costs 1.6BTC
nubbins`: not any one specific item
mircea_popescu: of the monetary base.
asciilifeform: but if the crown decides to crank up the printing press until cakes cost the same...
nubbins`: you can't say that there's deflation because pumpkins are cheap on november 1.
mircea_popescu: prices aren't a reference point for inflation tho, this is like saying she's a good lay cause she's a redhead.
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: the modern definition of inflation is bullshit, its hedonistically adjusted and the general price includes all sorts of nonsense, which is completely disparately defined across countries
mircea_popescu: people say it all the time, but what of it.
nubbins`: sure
nubbins`: i can't speak to past definitions, but everything i'm reading says that the thing which is inflating is the price of goods
herbijudlestoids: soooo...defining inflation as a general price level increase is extremely fuzzy
mircea_popescu: well you're reading business insider then
nubbins`: hey now
nubbins`: okay, so if inflationary/deflationary is out
nubbins`: how do you verbally differentiate between a currency where purchasing power increases over time, and one where it decreases?
nubbins`: (no saucy answers plz)
mircea_popescu: purchasing power in what sense ?
mircea_popescu: as opposed to another ?
nubbins`: say, herpcoins where it's cheaper to buy an apple tomorrow than today
nubbins`: or derpdollars where it's cheaper to buy the apple today
herbijudlestoids: also purchasing power is a better proxy than inflation, because you can have inflation where the purchasing power of a dollar goes up, but also inflatoin where the purchasing power of a dollar goes down
mircea_popescu: nubbins` what's wrong with just saying "herpcoins has increased ppp and derpd's has decreased ppp ?"
nubbins`: i don't know how much apple i get, that's what's wrong
mircea_popescu: wait what ?!
nubbins`: haha
mircea_popescu: these are macro discussions
mircea_popescu: why do you expect they do anything to any one apple ?
nubbins`: how many apples are in the bag i'm buying, whatever
herbijudlestoids: then what he is saying is correct nubbins`
herbijudlestoids: because you are only asking about PP, not inflation!
nubbins`: sure
mircea_popescu: for that matter, how do you know it's the currency ?
mircea_popescu: maybe derpland has a bumper apple crop and herpfields a shortage.
mircea_popescu: maybe the one yearly boat taking apples from d to h sunk that year
mircea_popescu: i mean wtf, how did you end up pinning the world on the currency ?
nubbins`: well until five minutes ago i laboured under the impression that a 'deflationary currency' was one where the purchasing power increased over time (i.e. the cost of goods decreases)
herbijudlestoids: i wonder if i invited FOFOA to chat here he would come
mircea_popescu: ok, but this is a very naive approach
nubbins`: but i think i've just never thought this through
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids so invite him
nubbins`: who's to say purchasing power is constant over time, etc
mircea_popescu: nubbins` do you think on average bigger cars are faster ?
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: it is not constant. varies in a nonstationary path
mircea_popescu: i mean to some very general degree this'd perhaps be true...
mircea_popescu: at least within some margins...
nubbins`: okay, no, i definitely had my cart before my horse here
mircea_popescu: but srsly. they're not that related.
nubbins`: tbh i never thought about it much until recently
mircea_popescu: well so good for you
nubbins`: not really ;(
mircea_popescu: why not ?
nubbins`: well who knows what i'd have ended up thinking about if i'd gotten it right the first time
nubbins`: the lost opportunities!
mircea_popescu: this is inflationary thinking.
jborkl: Mircea, you know I love your writing. I am not very verbose but in a non competitive way bcoinews.com . I printed that first :)

herbijudlestoids: i just looked it up ThickAsThieves
herbijudlestoids: the quote from ripple founder is retarded
herbijudlestoids: bitcoin does not have a fixed supply, i am sure if the price goes up to $1,000,000,000,000 some supply will come out of the woodwork
mircea_popescu: there's a Department of Retarded Quotes somewhere, fucking shit up.
jborkl: Ha, ripple is now some type of retarded charity now
ThickAsThieves: when did bitcoin stop responding to demand?
ThickAsThieves: i dont get it
mircea_popescu: i swear the proportion of good to retarded quotes i read can not be explained away statistically.
chipug: what was that random site that has irc quotes?
herbijudlestoids: are you adjusting for the avg IQ mircea_popescu?
herbijudlestoids: chipug: bash.org?
chipug: thats the one! thanks!
mircea_popescu: bash.bitcoin-assets.com ye heretic
asciilifeform: if by 'out of the woodwork' one means 'ECDSA crypto-break using Advanced Magic'...
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids HOW do you adjust for average iq
mircea_popescu: there's no iq.
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: i just meant, higher prices can entice supply
jborkl: Well you have to divide IQ by # of sock puppet accts
jborkl: So it is almost 0
herbijudlestoids: therefore the supply is not fixed, its just constrained by price
herbijudlestoids: (like gold :P)
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids they really go over the deep end with this "fixed" bs.
mircea_popescu: as if the total heat differential i nthe universe weren't ALSO fixed.

mircea_popescu: doge can has fractions ?!
chipug: but just think of your life rolling round your doge riches..... in 2080

ThickAsThieves: your % of worth in the world
mircea_popescu: that's... bitcoin.
ThickAsThieves: yeah but it has decimals
jborkl: Yep, just like that- that is divisible is not important

asciilifeform: homomorphic crypto seems to have the ancient appeal of other proven impossibilities, like perpetuum mobile.
mircea_popescu: i bet you we will have a major breakthrough in homomorphisms before we have one in quantum computing.
asciilifeform: see 1st comment, by author
asciilifeform: (horrified author)
mircea_popescu: disqus is nullrouted onthis system
asciilifeform: Amit Sahai • a day ago
asciilifeform: I am a co-author of the research quoted in the article. I realize it is likely pointless to write this comment in an Internet forum, but let me attempt to clarify the situation, in the hope that some thoughtful participants will find it useful. Please note: I will not be monitoring this forum in the future. If you are a researcher, please feel free to contact me.
asciilifeform: 1) The title is misleading: secure obfuscation does not necessarily create "unhackable" software, whatever that means.
asciilifeform: 2) Secure obfuscation is a mathematical term of art. It is unfortunate that the word "obfuscation" has an ordinary meaning that is very different than what we mean. An analogy might be the word "countable" which for mathematicians usually refers to infinite sets, while lay readers would likely not think this way.
asciilifeform: 3) The right way to think of what secure obfuscation allows is to create, *under many technical conditions*, software that has secrets built into it. These secrets are used by the software to compute output, and yet the secrets remain hidden even if an attacker obtains the entire machine-level code of the software, which of course the attacker could run and analyze. Thus the attacker would be able to *use* the
asciilifeform: secrets only in the way that the software allows, but not recover these secrets in any way beyond that.
nubbins`: but how do you have disqussions?
asciilifeform: 4) In no direct way does secure obfuscation have anything to with DRM, software copy protection, etc.
asciilifeform: 5) Obfuscation is really a terrible name, but unfortunately it is the mathematical term that has become widely used in the academic (non-hacker) community.
asciilifeform: 6) All of this is based on mathematical computational assumptions, which may be proven false by future algorithmic advances.
asciilifeform: - end quote
asciilifeform: naturally, we have the boojum: '...the attacker would be able to *use* the secrets only in the way that the software allows...'
mircea_popescu: turns out it wasn't pointless!
asciilifeform: so let's say you have a homomorphic turd that signs arbitrary giblets with your key (which, for the sake of argument, assume cannot be extracted, as claimed)
asciilifeform: and on top of that, is only willing to sign giblets beginning with 1.
asciilifeform: so fine. i extract the turd and feed it whatever i like
herbijudlestoids: giblets? :D
mircea_popescu: it's a term of art.
herbijudlestoids: no, i meant, would he like to feed his turd giblets :P
asciilifeform: there is already a hard impossibility proof of turing-complete computation in a homomorphic turd.
mircea_popescu: that there is.
mircea_popescu: however!
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't be necessarily running a compiler there
asciilifeform: so you're stuck with some special-case exotica, that idiots will inevitably embed in conventional code.
mircea_popescu: and the case of futzing non-recursively with data is not covered.
asciilifeform: the whole field appears to be funded by the desperate 'media' conglomerates, who dream in their opium haze of unbreakable copy protection.
mircea_popescu: that'll never work.
asciilifeform: i live right outside of a big uni, whose comp sci dept. pisses out a never-ending supply of this crud.
mircea_popescu: what may work tho is indeed code that does the function of cardano in software.
asciilifeform: then the code is the key.
mircea_popescu: well yes.
asciilifeform: lift it, accomplish the same purpose.
mircea_popescu: same is true of the hw cardano.
asciilifeform: correct.
mircea_popescu: so inasfar as that, it may be the case homomorphic software can be in fact written that protects the key say
asciilifeform: anyone who wants 'software cardano' can grab 'gpg' today.
mircea_popescu: but w/o a pw.
mircea_popescu: make it be automated.
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying this is practically useful.
mircea_popescu: but it is mathematically interesting
mircea_popescu: or properly said, computer-scientifically. which is math anyway but w/e
asciilifeform: the building blocks of homomorphic crypto (say, the 'millionaires protocol') are certainly interesting, not only in the mathematical but practical sense.
asciilifeform: but for the subject of the article, one is left to wonder what problem is actually being solved
mircea_popescu: the article is in wired.
mircea_popescu: forgeddaboutit.
mircea_popescu: the problem itself tho, "make me gpg which keeps my key safge and uses no pw", is not trivial.
mircea_popescu: anyone solving this'd feel that particular elation.
asciilifeform: if it 'keeps key safe' via the whole proggy becoming the key, you haven't accomplished much
mircea_popescu: if the whole proggy is the key then it;s not safe ipso definitio
asciilifeform: i venture to say that the actual goal of general-purpose (or whatever approximation is possible) homomorphic crypto is quite different.
asciilifeform: but nobody seems willing to say it publicly
asciilifeform: so i'll mention it here.
asciilifeform: certain people would /love/ a mathematically-impenetrable boobytrap.
asciilifeform: that is, code with genuinely-hidden functionality
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids if you care, http://fofoa.blogspot.ro/2010/07/debtors-and-savers.html is formally incorrect on the listing of romania
mircea_popescu: ask the guy what his research is for that list he made sometime.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform both people could use this.
asciilifeform: so, worked example:
asciilifeform: a 'soft pgp' that appears to work fine, but when you encrypt a message to a certain pubkey, the message becomes 'eat shit and die'
asciilifeform: and this fact not being deducible from the code.
mircea_popescu: or a soft obamacare, which appears to work fine, but when your name is obama an email is sent to a certain address with your vaginal probe pics.
mircea_popescu: technology helps neither side.
asciilifeform: correct. ideally one should like to be on the 'correct end of the barrel' for this one.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: asked :)
mircea_popescu: there's no way to pick really. you're on both ends always
asciilifeform: it is thus useful to know how to tell which end of the barrel you are being placed on.
mircea_popescu: and since we're speaking of,
asciilifeform: hence, if someone asks you to run homomorphically cloaked code...
ozbot: Romania Cuts Benchmark Rate to Record Low as Inflation Slows - Bloomberg
mircea_popescu: now you look at that chart and tell me that debtors beat savers in 2000-2005 ?
asciilifeform: in principle, 'all blades have two edges,' etc. but in practice, the one and only objective of the folks funding homomorphic is a kind of satanic opposite of my purpose outlined in 'don't blame the mice'
asciilifeform: they would like to create (and then mandate) computing machinery that cannot be audited for security even in principle.
Dimsler__: lol
Dimsler__: inflation rates are lies anyway
asciilifeform: the inevitable boojum of conventional computing is that a boobytrap, no matter how clever, could eventually be stumbled upon by some clever soviet kid with a copy of 'ida'
mircea_popescu: it never works. it can't work.
herbijudlestoids: hhaha wau
asciilifeform: it's a perpetuum mobile, but that never stopped the desperate idiots with infinitely deep pockets, has it.
mircea_popescu: Dimsler__ no actually these are good.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform true.
herbijudlestoids: so the inflation rate went from >40% to <10%
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids yes. and the early spikes aren't exactly easy money either.
mircea_popescu: romania had no consumer sector at the time
mircea_popescu: so it's not like there's something debatable really, it's entirely and flatly wrong, like a chinese man on a list of hepatic patiens.

asciilifeform: btw the whole homomorphic business reminds me of an old sf story, where some malefactor stumbles upon a pair of large integers whose multiplication doesn't commute.
herbijudlestoids: i cant comment cos i dunno shit on the topic but i did fwd your statement and query on
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform haha that's a great premise
asciilifeform: greg egan, 'luminous', if i recall.
Dimsler__: http://ponzi.io/
mircea_popescu: wait, they're primes right ?
mircea_popescu: i think you can probably write a brown note novel on this, you can literally drive math people to insanity.
mircea_popescu: "two large primes whose product doesn't commute
mircea_popescu: yet the product of their squares does
mircea_popescu: but not of the 3rd powers
asciilifeform: damn if i recall. but there was a mathematical galactic battle in there
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: got a response, somewhere privatish i can send it to?
mircea_popescu: just keep going on with the description of the complexity until the reader falls over
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids sure
mircea_popescu: /query mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform then, the product of the square of the first with an odd power of the second does
mircea_popescu: but viceversa... no.
mircea_popescu: and so on and so forth
asciilifeform: the premise was a little brain-fucking, yes - turned out that mathematics was a physical object, that one could fuck with
asciilifeform: by carrying out certain computations.
asciilifeform: obligatory warez copy:
ozbot: Greg Egan - Luminous
mircea_popescu: scribd does warez ?!
asciilifeform: it does whatever the russian kids throw in, until the censors nuke it.
asciilifeform: as always.
mircea_popescu: this is so different from aaron schwarz
nubbins`: math fiction
nubbins`: great stuff
asciilifeform: damn, censored.
asciilifeform: seems to be the real thing.
ozbot: BookReader - Greg Egan - Luminous (2) (Egan Greg)
nubbins`: read this story once where the law of averages stopped working
nubbins`: e.g. everyone in manhattan decides to drive across the same bridge on the same evening, etc
nubbins`: was chaos
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you mean social media.
asciilifeform: better still, robert sheckley's 'the petrified world.'
nubbins`: technically wasn't really math fiction tho
nubbins`: most of the story was about attempts to legislate order back into society
nubbins`: only those whose surnames begin with A through F may visit the zoo on sundays, etc
