mircea_popescu: nice link!
nubbins`: [Former Liberal cabinet minister David] Dingwall was defending his right to a hefty severance package after stepping down from a six-figure salary as head of the Canadian Mint. His departure, which some say was forced, came after revelations surfaced about ... questionable expense claims"
nubbins`: Dingwall's proclamation to a parliamentary committee: "I am entitled to my entitlements!"

TestingUnoDosTre: stock ticker MMM is 3M company
artifexd: And there is a place it is priced in BTC?
TestingUnoDosTre: no, its USD price cs BTC usd price

artifexd: Thanks benkay. That was exactly along the lines I was thinking.
benkay: i know :)
TestingUnoDosTre: theres bets with btcs usd price on the website all thr time. can you expand?
benkay: well your bet comes after the data feeds are found to be useless.
TestingUnoDosTre: how so?
TestingUnoDosTre: the bet ends two weeks early
jurov: too much fake data
benkay: bet opening dates, TestingUnoDosTre.
benkay: other bets dependent on btc price were *placed* before feeds were found to be useless. your bet was placed after feeds found to be useless. your bet is rejected probably because now the mods know the price signal is fucked. previous bets were not because nobody knew the price signal was fucked.
benkay: yeah?
TestingUnoDosTre: how is bitstamp fucked?

ThickAsThieves: whats the big question, doesnt it say to include a bet sum to get it accepted?
ThickAsThieves: do so
benkay: Even if one were to roll their own index : BTC-e is a rather dubious venture, still fondly remembered for their involvement in NovaCoin, the original altchain scamcoin and spotty reports of selective scamming. Bitstamp has two thumbs down from Matic for reasons I don’t fully grasp but then again I don’t really need to in that circumstance. I wouldn’t trust Kraken to hold as much as my spit, especially after their recent
benkay: bitdaytrade-esque failure and Jesse’s enthusiastic support of the well known and universally reviled Jared Kenna scammerx. There are some others out there, and they pop up and down like flies.xi
benkay: To make a long story short : there’s no way to obtain a price feed that could be relied on, currently.
benkay: all from the link
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: you gotta try harder, frere.
ThickAsThieves: bets dont need a reliable feed
ThickAsThieves: just a specific one
benkay: yeah there's that approach
TestingUnoDosTre: i used bitstamp, it was very specific
benkay: anyways, ThickAsThieves has it on the nose. mods say submit with substantial wager.
ThickAsThieves: basically bitbet is saying your bet is lame, but if you back it theyll list it
TestingUnoDosTre: i bet .5btc RIGHT AWAY

ThickAsThieves: you might get a TSLA bet thru

It's said that most at home traders fail, but this is incorrect: they fail at making money, but they are successful at feeling like a trader. That is the goal; the money is secondary, which is why they fail at making it. The buy/hold/reinvest the dividends strategy of Buffet is totally opposite to what's desired,
ThickAsThieves: because the strategy does not involve market timing or status updates, it is on autopilot, and there's no "i" in autopilot. Well, there's one, but it doesn't stand out.
ThickAsThieves: The trading activity itself-- the frantic activity-- keeps the rest of reality away. You're not your job-- you're something else. You're not your family, you're more than that. Things have the potential of possibly happening someday, and no work will have been necessary to accomplish it. Just you wait.

Duffer1: btc paper wallet
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: This is my hedge against anti SHA2 black magic
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: So BTC and ATC are out of the picture
Duffer1: iunno gold maybe?
the20year2: whores and blow
Duffer1: turn it into cash and buy scrypt mining solutions
Duffer1: effectively hedge with every alt coin
BingoBoingo: Eh, maybe I should just buy people, or tractors (the two are in this price range fungible)
mod6: ok, weird. i didn't get it with '>>=', but did get it when I broke it out into a sub roll of `newSubsidy = (nSubsidy >> timesToRoll);`
mod6: 0Times to roll: 64
mod6: 5000000000Times to roll: 65
Duffer1: tractors?
pankkake: attack against the proof of work will just make better miners exploiting the attack
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: You know, farm equiptment
pankkake: proof of work changes are mostly a misunderstanding
pankkake: and these attacks would have to beat asics or be asic-able
pankkake: what you should worry about is ECDSA
pankkake: not SHA
Duffer1: is ecdsa vulnerable?
pankkake: no, but if it is, we are in trouble
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Prolly
pankkake: whereas if sha is, we're not
BingoBoingo: Well, right now the BIG worry is an attach that beats RIPEMD and ECDSA
pankkake: eheh, putting your bitcoin in addresses were never used is another layer of security I guess
pankkake: I mean, that never made a transaction out of it
BingoBoingo: Right, outgoing transactions are the only transactions tht can weaken addresses.
mod6: actually, think i might have not started from the right spot, because with that second part, this seems more correct:
mod6: Times to roll: 63 => 0
mod6: Times to roll: 64 => 5000000000
mod6: Times to roll: 65 => 2500000000

ozbot: VitaminLife.com: DMSO DMSO 70% Concentrated 30% Water - 8 oz Liquid - Arthritis Support
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: perhaps also the most dangerous product at your corner pharmacy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, corner pharmacy only sells it as a cream, and health food store only sells it to 30$ concentrate
BingoBoingo: *30% concentrate
BingoBoingo: DMSO has always been great though in that it can turn any drug into a topical drug
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: read the old logs, where i described a case of seeing this in person.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I remember those logs, I was the one who supposed DMSO as a problem
asciilifeform: all the samples, if i recall, shipped in it.
