cazalla: are you betting no?
Neil: I think block 290303 needs to have a timestamp of 13/03/2014 05:57:02 or laster. But not certain.
Neil: later
Neil: Well I had the initial bet. Not bet since then... but it'd be a nice win if it happens
Neil: Got another chance in 2 weeks even if this misses
cazalla: 10% this cycle is a bit of a lull, fingers crossed for 30%+ next
Neil: cazalla: Yeah I think that's not gonna happen
Neil: The amount of hardware to come online to get 30% increases every 10 days is just nuts
cazalla: i love the long shots :)
Neil: Yeah they sometimes pay off spectacularly. I blew up on the MtGox $150 1March; if he'd only hung on another 4 days...
cazalla: won on that and gox closing
Neil: Gox closing was one of my bets too; I got that one right :) Just a bit too early...
cazalla: why would you bet gox above 150 then?
Neil: Well 25 mins between blocks is feeling good at the moment :)
cazalla: seemed both went hand in hand, at least to me
Neil: cazalla: Never thought they'd go before Mar 1st. Also bets were from last year
Neil: I viewed it more as a BTC bet, y'know.
Neil: It only became a gox bet in the last 2 weeks
cazalla: i bailed on them after the 5m confiscation
cazalla: if it was obvious to me at that point, i don't doubt smarter people bailed long before that

cazalla: I think you are right
Neil: Some of my old transactions could be found on that web page that was put up, but some weren't there either. Very odd.
Neil: Karpeles seems to have been a complete fuckwit who just didn't take anything seriously; least of all other people's money. Assuming there wasn't fraud.
btcinmypocket: Neil: Well, that data was provided by someone(s) who had the lack of ethics to include bitcoin stealing trojans in with the publication, so I don't doubt you have finding problem with the records. I would expect that they would mess with a bit if there is incentive.
Neil: I'm definitely in the top 3 bettors on bitbet; wouldn't be surprised if #1 by amt of BTC bet. Scary.
Neil: Confirmed total: 12,479 BTC on bitbet's site. I'm well over 5% of that.
cazalla: what's your track record like
cazalla: did you bet on kuka? (how disappointing)
Neil: Was doing very well until Gox 1Mar and the (inconsistent IMO) decision that was made on SDICE (where market cap was zero but share price was above XX). But whatever. Still above water, but only just.
Neil: Lots of small wins; 2 big losses.
kakobrekla: i think the biggest roller is 10%
Neil: Single address?
Neil: I lowballed :)
kakobrekla: correct
Neil: My history is over 10%
Neil: But I don't use 1 address

cazalla: speaking of drink
cazalla: i learned that i shouldn't try to chug champagne from the bottle
cazalla: blow fish face but i was desperate to drink, nothing in the house but this crap
cazalla: if i was sober, i'd shut up and read more logs
cazalla: but loose lips sink ships

cazalla: i could fuck them now but she'd leave me

Neil: mircea_popescu: No way in 2016... I don't see blocks with 12.5 BTC fees, and certainly not at 1MB
mircea_popescu: explain how you reason /
Neil: Well I believe the block size will increase. But also with say ~1k txns per 1MB block, I don't see people paying an average fee of 0.0013 BTC. Especially as I expect BTC to be significantly higher than today.
artifexd: 1meg block allows for (ideally) 5000 transactions (at 200 bytes/tx). To get 12.5 btc in fees, each transaction will have to pay .0025 btc in fees. Them thar are some hefty fees.
San1ty-Work: What's the general consensus here on AM and their Gen 3 chips?
VanCleef: risky
Neil: artifexd: The occasional 900 KB blocks rarely go over 1200 txns
mircea_popescu: Neil so you believe the block size will increase. why ?
Neil: It's the right thing to do.
mircea_popescu: how do you know this ?
artifexd: Niel hence "ideally"
Neil: I don't know, it's my belief.
mircea_popescu: well then here's the caper : it's beyond fucking stupid.
Neil: Can't argue with that.
mircea_popescu: there are two good reasons not to increase it. one is that the larger the block, the more expensive its securing
San1ty-Work: VanCleef: I heard some rumors that they are planning to deploy 1600 PH
mircea_popescu: currently blocks are secured through the process of mining. the hash count per block is a rough proxy for its cryptographical security.
mircea_popescu: a doubling of the block size roughly quadruples the hash needed for equal security.
Neil: These things should be chosen by the market, just like fees. I doubt we'll get blocks much bigger than 1MB for a long time to come, even if there weren't a limit now.
mircea_popescu: cryptography aside, there is the economic problem, : the only way to extract rents is rarity.
mircea_popescu: if there are 1k slots and 10k txns vieing for a slot, you may see high fees
mircea_popescu: if there are 10k slots made just as soon as there's 10k txns looking for a slot, you'll not see any fees.
Neil: mircea_popescu: It'd be the end of bitbet with fees that high.
mircea_popescu: the idea is for this system to be self sufficient, and in this sense there must always be a rarity of txn slots in blocks with regard to txns

Neil: It'll sort itself out.
mircea_popescu: and no, it is not valid to pretend "block size should be set by the market", because of the problem known as the disaster of commons
mircea_popescu: to wit, people have an incentive to mine large blocks fopr the direct payout
Neil: Not at all, or they'd have been doing it for the last year.
mircea_popescu: but the securing of the chain is an expense external to them and easily externalisable
Neil: Pools are afraid of orphans, and that's the way it should be.

ozbot: Bitcoin exchange for high-frequency traders is launched - The Wall Street Journal - MarketWatch
artifexd: Solidifying a group of tx into a block doesn't provide security in the same sense that 100 twigs in a bundle are stronger than 100 twigs seperately. It provide security in providing a stable time reference for when tx happened. Completely different domains.
artifexd: Typing more....
artifexd: Making that reference harder to forge is where the security comes from. How much happens in between each reference point has no bearing on how vulnerable or reproducable each reference point is.
artifexd: Does that make sense?
mircea_popescu: we'll have to work at this. suppose your hash function is defined as the first character of the md5.
mircea_popescu: sec mining.
artifexd: If we assume that md5 is a "good" hash function, then how much data you put into it doesn't have any bearing on what you get out of it. Thus the first character remains, essentially, random regardless of whether the input is 200 bytes or 200 megabytes.
mircea_popescu: h(Women are not people.) = h(Jesus hates blacks &^ faggots)
mircea_popescu: now, inasmuch as your blockhash is 3, how do you know the actual block (Women are not people.) is what hapepned
mircea_popescu: should i claim thje actual block really was "Jesus hates blacks &^ faggots" ?
artifexd: Just as much as you could claim it is mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: but mircea_popescu is shorter than the original block.
artifexd: ok...
mircea_popescu: in other words : the larger the block is, the easier for a collision to be found
mircea_popescu: this ease is not linear.
artifexd: I don't argue with what your saying. I would instead say that this particular manner of attack would be monumentally stupid in the case of bitcoin.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [COG] 13 @ 0.0459 = 0.5967 BTC [+]
artifexd: Because when the hash of a block is "discovered" the contents of that block are spread around the world. An attacker would have to not only find a collection of valid transactions and a sundry other pieces of data that collide with the exact same hash but also convince someone else that the replacement was the actual block.
artifexd: You are essentially looking at an attack that is by definition maximum difficulty.
mircea_popescu: but an attacker with a lot of hash power could create two such blocks and then swap them in and out to create dead txn
mircea_popescu: which is exactly why the hash power and the block size interact to create the chain cryptographical security
mircea_popescu: they just don't interact linearly.
artifexd: If the hash was one letter, sure. 256 bits? "A lot" is being conservative.
mircea_popescu: my point is that expanding the block size is not unlike shortening the hash length.
mircea_popescu: an infinite block size is worse than the "1st char of the md5" hash scheme i just proposed.
artifexd: However, your point that limiting the maximum length in order to limit the possible collisions is irrelevant as well because there is already a specific place for you to twiddle that will have the exact result you would want. The nonce/timestamp.
artifexd: Your point is technically true, but practically worthless.
mircea_popescu: how you reason ?
artifexd: Because you still have to find the birthday collision. Why would an attacker try to create a block 1 gigabyte long (which still has to be valid) in order to clash with a block 1 megabyte long?
mircea_popescu: (and for the record, i'm not arguing that this would be a particular venue of attack, i am merely showing how my thread length/surface metaphore is much better than your lock/lockbox metaphor)
mircea_popescu: artifexd perhaps because it's the only one that satisfies some other criteria we don't know about.
artifexd: I have a prior engagement that I have to attend to. I will think on this.
artifexd: Also, for the record, I think that increasing the block size right now is a dumb idea, not necessary and counter-productive to the desired result.

Diablo-D3: benkay: its mostly protein and fat

Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: yes, but grains and sugars only exist in processed form

nubbins`: haven't listened to much pj harvey altho i've got a few friends that are really into her
ThickAsThieves: you might like the old stuff
ThickAsThieves: Dry is my favorite by far

nubbins`: signal to noise ratio
ThickAsThieves: i think there are many forces that make this happen
nubbins`: there's still amazing music being made, it's just harder to find
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
ThickAsThieves: usually the earlier albums have had much longer to bake
nubbins`: well, this too
nubbins`: there are plenty of old albums that are shit
ThickAsThieves: more depression and emotion went into them as well
nubbins`: we just don't remember them ;D
ThickAsThieves: i do feel depression is a great muse
ThickAsThieves: other stressful emotions too
ThickAsThieves: i used to have all this music in me, but then i stopped binge drinking and dating and working for the man
Neil: ThickAsThieves: regarding # addresses with large coin - it's very stable; I've been tracking it. There is a small downtrend except for the top 500 which has been in uptrend
ThickAsThieves: interesting
ThickAsThieves: while i'm unlikely in the top 500, i wouldnt want to be known as such
mircea_popescu: because why ?
ThickAsThieves: why be a target
ThickAsThieves: what gain would it have otherwise
mircea_popescu: dude, you gotta asume your status in the world.
Neil: Lots of outputs of size around what you spend is what you want; what's someone gonna do with a 5K address apart from break it up again?
ThickAsThieves: am i not?
mircea_popescu: well whats this "be a target" bs.
mircea_popescu: a target of what ? public worship ?
ThickAsThieves: public jealousy
Neil: mircea_popescu: Does the Romanian govt not bother you? Are they not interested tax-wise in your activities?
ThickAsThieves: wtf use do i have to be in these people's heads
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the reason they're a problem is that their heads are full of shit.
ThickAsThieves: and seeing me on a list would affect that?
mircea_popescu: Neil i have no idea what you're asking. bother me ? why would it bother me. it's my government, it does my laundry.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves just discussing the more general point. why should you be in their heads ? because you're cool, and they aren't./
ThickAsThieves: it seems the shitheads would rather tear down and be in denial about those above them while observing
mircea_popescu: so then let them try.
mircea_popescu: prepare the batons, beat them bloody.
mircea_popescu: why not ?
mircea_popescu: whose world is it, yours or theirs ?
ThickAsThieves: no one's?
ThickAsThieves: i dont know
mircea_popescu: it's gotta be someone's.
ThickAsThieves: all i know is that anyone that might care how much coin I have, i cared too, i'd show em
nubbins`: all an illusion
mircea_popescu: well sure
ThickAsThieves: i dont see you sharing your addresses anyway!
mircea_popescu: occasionally.
ThickAsThieves: why not openly?
ThickAsThieves: spank us with your superiority
ThickAsThieves: own your world
Duffer1: i thought that's what trilema was for
ThickAsThieves: dont give him an out
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: You've got to make some openly know, others less openly known. Just in case someone with the means for abduction possesses a soldering iron.
mircea_popescu: lol he really got butthurt.
mircea_popescu: what, srsly, does it look to you like i ain't ?
mircea_popescu: "Odi Kosmatos 2m @bitcoinpete @Mircea_Popescu (previous knee-jerk tweet deleted) Hi Mircea, are you the guy who thinks everyone else is stupid? Appropriate!"
ThickAsThieves: no just surprised i didnt note the hypocrisy til now
mircea_popescu: what's so hypocratical about it!
ThickAsThieves: i think i already pointed out what
ThickAsThieves: you are not practicing what you are preaching
mircea_popescu: but i dun see it, i mean what exactly ? mpex has at least one well known inbound address, it shows however many btc
ozbot: #bitcoin-assets log
ThickAsThieves: you say why not be on a list of top holders, show the shitheads the world is yours
ThickAsThieves: well, show us
ThickAsThieves: if not, why not?
Neil: mircea_popescu: You mix wallets right? Inbound on bitbet could be outbound on mpex and vice versa.
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Aren't his MPOE holdings largely public?
mircea_popescu: Neil notrly.
Neil: BingoBoingo: MPOE holdings aren't BTC.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] [PAID] 1.66964413 BTC to 21`469 shares, 7777 satoshi per share
pizzaman1337: BingoBoingo: but MPOE holdings are only "paper" BTC, not actual btc
ThickAsThieves: he makes no concrete statement as to what belongs to what
ThickAsThieves: an mpex addy could be for the members
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 so that substantially changes anything ?
ThickAsThieves: no one really knows how many btc mp has or claims to have
ThickAsThieves: which was exactly the topic
ozbot: Bitcoin TOP-500 Richest
mircea_popescu: there, how bad is that.
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: yeah, because in practice it can't all be turned into real btc at market rates
Neil: mircea_popescu: Coz you spent a huge output for the big payout on bitbet; it wasn't an input to anything plausible on bitbet in its history. So bitbet's wallet it definitely being mixed with something else - yours or mpoe's or ...
ThickAsThieves: that i dont want anyone to know what i have in that context
mircea_popescu: Neil bitbet had 500+ bets iirc. how much was this ?
Neil: 1800
ThickAsThieves: the context being a list of wallet addresses
ThickAsThieves: not a forum post of market caps
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i think you prolly took an angle of what i said and run off with it.
ThickAsThieves: if that;s how you wanna play it
ThickAsThieves: i'm not gonna beat a dead horse over it
ThickAsThieves: just funny
mircea_popescu: i wasn't even aware im playin.
Neil: 1868 from a single addy
ozbot: Bitcoin Transaction b94eaf3c16ad7dd35ea3b9e11a70cf9172adf4898c9b4db90761ef4ba327e777
ThickAsThieves: it's more fun to me to not know anyway
ThickAsThieves: knowing doesnt really matter, to me at least
mircea_popescu: Neil that's just a function of how the payouts on large bets work.
ThickAsThieves: i believe you have plenty
mircea_popescu: this was the diff bet no ?
Neil: mircea_popescu: Meaning what exactly?
Neil: Doesn't seem to me that came from people betting on bitbet; that's my only point.
ozbot: Bitcoin Address 1PQgp6UkeeqGvU6TSseYs2nR28xQmfkFQN
mircea_popescu: that address often disburses payouts. it's like an outbound gateway
Neil: One of the inputs to that address used for the payout was 4368 BTC; which is like 40% of bitbet volume at that time...
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves anyway, it wasn't some sort of "omg you're a bad person", it was more of a "why the fuck would you be shy of the world. fuck em."
mircea_popescu: Neil yeah bitbet got seeded originally, so as to build this situation it enjoys today where it has a large pool.
ThickAsThieves: i think i came off more defensive than i actually am
mircea_popescu: mtgox runs on 1/4 of deposits, bitbet runs on 4x. fractional reserve ftw.
ThickAsThieves: you asked why be shy, i said why, you said yeah but, then i asked well why are you shy?
mircea_popescu: seems kinda nutty to ask me why i'm shy dunnit ?
mircea_popescu: because im too over the top as is.
ThickAsThieves: not sure what that means
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 29 @ 0.00608 = 0.1763 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: well it's good enough, i'll use this as a convenient reference to show that at least one person in zee werld thinks im shy.
ThickAsThieves: i mean i know you do your part to spank the idiots and seize your day
ThickAsThieves: but that doesnt exactly explain why me not showing addresses is questionable
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 87 @ 0.00607997 = 0.529 BTC [-] {2}
ThickAsThieves: nor why you dont either
mircea_popescu: the exact implementation is left as an exercise to the reader
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> while i'm unlikely in the top 500, i wouldnt want to be known as such << this is the line that sparked the discussion
mircea_popescu: it's not some sort of technical explanation of address showing.
mircea_popescu: it's just a general point about being known as such.
ThickAsThieves: and i further qualified it
ThickAsThieves: with not wanting to be a target
mircea_popescu: fuck em.
mircea_popescu: no but i mean literally.
ThickAsThieves: but why arent you fucking them
ThickAsThieves: with your address
ThickAsThieves: no matter how we cut it, a reason can be distilled
mircea_popescu: why am i not fucking them in particular X manner you'd prefer ? because i'm me.
mircea_popescu: what of it.
ThickAsThieves: one which you are dancing around
ThickAsThieves: i'm only asking because i suspect your reasons arent much different than mine
ThickAsThieves: if at all
mircea_popescu: like how ?
ThickAsThieves: like you;'d prefer people not know exactly how much coin you have and what addy you keep it in
ThickAsThieves: if it's even one
mircea_popescu: these are reasons ?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 41 @ 0.041 = 1.681 BTC [+]
ThickAsThieves: no they are motivations
ThickAsThieves: to not share the info
ThickAsThieves: we're just dancing anyway, i don't see any other way to interpret this
pizzaman1337: flirting
mircea_popescu: weird. wild.
ThickAsThieves: whether i am perfectly articulating my case, or presenting it in the exact way to get a straight answer, you do know what I am saying
mircea_popescu: nowai. srsly ?
ThickAsThieves: if i am remotely accurate in my estimation of your intelligence, yes
ThickAsThieves: i guess it does usually take a lot of kicking and screaming on the occassions you do give in though... so maybe i'm wring
mircea_popescu: tbh what i perceive is the matter here is that you live in an environment where poor black dudes stare you down as a daily routine, and i just said "da fuck is this, you stare THEM down mothefucker! they're poor, not you" which created a little disonance
mdwu: what is the difference between a poor and rich person besides their net worth?
ThickAsThieves: even if that's what it boiled down to
ThickAsThieves: the reason the conversation continued,
mircea_popescu: mdwu that the poor person likely sucks.
ThickAsThieves: is searching for why your reasons for hiding are different
mircea_popescu: that hiding'd be entirely of your projection.
ThickAsThieves: then why is it you do not display your coins
ThickAsThieves: this is not a projection on my part
ThickAsThieves: it's what I observe
mircea_popescu: but to some degree i do.
pizzaman1337: this is just a striptease to see MP's bitcoin dick. We can't be impressed without a little build-up.
ThickAsThieves: maybe i'm just ignorant and everyone knows your addies but me, and youre just fucking with me
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you know the mpex addy, neh ?
mircea_popescu: i just made a comment re the bitbet addies, you can tally those up, they're published
ThickAsThieves: ive dug up some in the past
mircea_popescu: its in the faq innit ?
ThickAsThieves: i dont believe there is a known addy that is definitively your coins
ThickAsThieves: just company ones
ThickAsThieves: which i assume also represent user funds
asciilifeform: what useful thing could one hope to achieve by dropping pants and publicly displaying bitcock?
ThickAsThieves: this was my initial question as well
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the usual purpose one obtains doing that lol.
mircea_popescu: fucking something or the other
asciilifeform: seems like a proposition that's purely lose-lose, like sticking hand in a bear trap.
ThickAsThieves: the answer i got was essentially to put idiots in their place
asciilifeform: you might do it to demonstrate an indestructible robotic prosthesis, but otherwise it's pointless
mircea_popescu: we weren't actually discussing that, i dun think.
mircea_popescu: somehow the entire show me your cock thing got shoehorn into a slightly different discusison
mircea_popescu: for w/e reason.
ThickAsThieves: like i said before, youve got a reason for not publishing your personal wealth, if you dont want to say the reason, that's fine
ThickAsThieves: but just say that

MisterE: before brokering lol
BingoBoingo: Well, if you were selling the other kind, I would suggest Bitcoin might not be mature enough for that yet...

MisterE: whats the other kind do?
MisterE: US needs to find more of this stuff
MisterE: like, yesterday
BingoBoingo: MisterE: The other stuff is the transuranic stuff...
BingoBoingo: Prolly 5-10 years before Bitcoin is mature enough for it at least, maybe 20
MisterE: hgher atomic number than uranium?
MisterE: sounds like a regulation hassle
BingoBoingo: like I suggested, BTC prolly not ready yet
BingoBoingo: Especially when Ver is tripping balls and thinking he is Dr. Richard Kimble
mod6: haha
BingoBoingo: When Ver can protect his Island with a fleet of Hind Hella Choppas then we can talk transuranic
MisterE: BingoBoingo: do I know you from another tracker?
MisterE: and whois Ver?
BingoBoingo: MisterE: Tracker?
MisterE: yea

BingoBoingo: I dun torrent.
MisterE: yea think I have met them ;/
MisterE: dont torrent?
MisterE: wow
BingoBoingo: Eh, the streaming sites provide the content without putting me in a position to be distributing it. I dun think the risk reward for torrenting the wrong this is a good value proposition in my jurisdiction.
MisterE: oh so you stream
BingoBoingo: I watch streaming shit. If stuff isn't on Hulu I'll watch it somewhere else.
BingoBoingo: It's how I keep up with Archer.
MisterE: I have a site for you
artifexd: And if it isn't available for streaming, just about everything available via torrent is available via nntp
BingoBoingo: I dunno, you kind of sound like 5-0

BingoBoingo: MisterE: I'd want to know more about how their site and player are architected, but that could just easily be some podunk law firm fishing for ip's to gather for one of those mass John Doe suits.
BingoBoingo: Shady, foreign, and streaming is the way to be
MisterE: they dont do those anymore
MisterE: not very good RPR
MisterE: PR*
BingoBoingo: No, they don't do some kinds of those in some jurisdictions
MisterE: now they go after you thru your isp
BingoBoingo: Well, if I am my own ISP that would suck wouldn't it...
asciilifeform: phun phact. only consumer ISPs are part of the 'n strikes' pact.
MisterE: haha so it's all about going after the little guy
MisterE: just like drm is about fucking legit buyers
asciilifeform: rent a $20 box in some godforsaken rack, bounce packets off that.
MisterE: stupid industry
MisterE: slingbox
MisterE: I prefer a .mp4 file I can play at my convenience
