Vexual: when are you moving to the 70% wage?
The20YearIRCloud: don't know, talking to investors and there's a possibility i won't
The20YearIRCloud: right now i can go to 70% on mill & logan, but instead i've personally been taking around a 25%-30% wage and just putting the rest of it back into the company account
Vexual: 53 is fairly handsome
The20YearIRCloud: havent been taking irt
Vexual: makes sense
The20YearIRCloud: ive been taking 750-1000/mo this year out of an allowed $1500-$3500
Vexual: i assume you're a shareholder tooo
The20YearIRCloud: i've put almost all my btc/liquid buying stock back overlast week
Vexual: "putting it back into the company account" this means you gift it to the company?
Vexual: or can you take it back out again?
The20YearIRCloud: i'm tallying the difference, figure some day when company is flush with cash i'll cash out
The20YearIRCloud: but i dont plan on really taking anything out, too much incentive for me to do that
Vexual: i could hear your calculator from here
The20YearIRCloud: its on the spreadsheet
thickasthieves: for a while the coinbase price was same as bitstamp, 300

thickasthieves: its all good though, now they wont get 1% from me
thickasthieves: (was gonna arb)
TheNewDeal: on shitstamp, if someone has 15000 coins at 300, and then I place 1 coin @ 300, how do they choose which coin is purchased? First come first serve?
thickasthieves: have to wait in line
thickasthieves: so sell for 299.99

Vexual: when exactly did they change the algo from gpu to asic?

Vexual: wait, how does that chart work?
RagnarDanneskjol: its just an estimate of total net revenue capture by miners i believe
Vexual: i might be thinking of the eclectricity one
RagnarDanneskjol: algo has always been the same
Vexual: so its a price chart?
RagnarDanneskjol: no, more like a profit chart
assbot: Bitcoin Mining Operating Margin
Vexual: -50k%sounds like gpu calcs to me
Vexual: but hey if the shit works, why change it right?
RagnarDanneskjol: mmm anyone mining with gpu at this point would be operating at massive loss, so doubt that contributes much to the miner stats
Vexual: yeah about -50000%
Vexual: those charts are borked
Vexual: actually, if you fix the second one, and compare it to the first one, you might get something interesting
Vexual: bigpicturemining would be the crew to talk to

Diablo-D3: even if they just repeat the usual bullshit, we still need more of them
punkman: BingoBoingo: making website faster by embedding base64 encoded images in the HTML, just doesn't feel right
mircea_popescu: it's bad for caching at any rate.
mircea_popescu: if every time a browser asked for a trilema page it actually had to get all the images as base64 i'd have a major problem on my hands.
Diablo-D3: punkman: it depends entirely on what you're doing
Diablo-D3: like, you can shove that into css
Diablo-D3: and then cache the css
punkman: Diablo-D3: whether it feels right doesn't depend on anything
punkman: whether it works and how well, that's another matter
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 the problem isn't the serverside caching, but the client side caches.
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: erm, why do you think I was talking about serverside caching?
mircea_popescu: virtually all browsers know enough to not redld a navigation pic, but virtually all will re-dld the base64 blob
Diablo-D3: its about cutting down on the cost of http connection cost
Diablo-D3: its easier to base64 stuff for small images than it is to make explicit requests for them
Vexual: this is why pankakkke left
mircea_popescu: but the browser will only request them once.
mircea_popescu: Vexual quite possible.
Diablo-D3: its also why building sprite layouts are so damned nice

punkman: "I cannot understand why this is happening. I made some serious money several times but for the past 6 months or so I have taken huge losses."
mircea_popescu: universal advice for all redditard problems : 1. quit reddit never to return ; 2. quit your current bs "job/studies" and get a real job ; 3. quit your current bs" relationship", spend a year celibate then get a real relationship ; 4. stop saying high to your current "friends"

danielpbarron: a little of both
punkman: "Global trust is trust towards a particular individual which is seen as the same from all members of the network. Projected trust is established through a pseudonymous partial knowledge web-of-trust, while global trust is established through proof-of-burn and proof-of-timelock mechanisms."
danielpbarron: but you joined here, so there might be hope

brianhoffman: we will be leveraging op_return in the next release hopefully
brianhoffman: at the moment the entire project is under code review
brianhoffman: our project has great breadth and we’re certainly not interested in stepping on toes or making grandiose claims about any one area
brianhoffman: we would love to collaborate where possible
brianhoffman: i know that Dionysis feels the same way so please don’t be turned off by anything we throw out there as we’re not trying to stomp out others who are smarter on this stuff
brianhoffman: feel free to destroy anything we publish so we can evolve
brianhoffman: that’s why i’ve come to your IRC instead of just insulting @danielbarron more
punkman: "In OpenBazaar, the participants are inherently pseudonymous. In this setting, we wish to maintain an identity for each node. This identity is strictly distinct from the operator's real-world identity."
danielpbarron: i like gribble the way it is so far, but I think I saw discussion in here some time ago about making it decentralized; that's why I figured you might have something interesting to say
punkman: that probably won't work
brianhoffman: ok so the folks from freenet argued that as well

mircea_popescu: didja see thge logs ?
mircea_popescu: cuz i was talking @you after you apparently left.

dionyziz: Hello.
brianhoffman: no I did not. is it online anywhere?
brianhoffman: ok i think i found it
brianhoffman: reading now
assbot: Logged on 06-10-2014 16:47:26; mircea_popescu: "OpenBazaar is an open source project to create a decentralized network for commerce online—using Bitcoin—that has no fees and cannot be censored."
brianhoffman: mircea_popescu: you are asking about shipping of items across OpenBazaar?
brianhoffman: and also I am not the guitarist for Deicide lol
dionyziz: I heard you guys have some thoughts on our web-of-trust ideas.
brianhoffman: I can play guitar but I’m not in a heavy metal by any means lol
dionyziz: I'm very interested in hearing them, especially if you disagree with our proposals.
brianhoffman: mircea_popescu did you see dionyziz’ paper that we have up online? i posted the link earlier
dionyziz: If you think what we're trying to do is impossible or impractical, this is very important to us and we want to know why.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz well not so much on your ideas whatever they may be, but moreover, how familiar are you with the wot as it works and is implemented currently ?
brianhoffman: I’m working through your devil goat entry
mircea_popescu: devil goat ? which is that one ?
brianhoffman: urban vs. rural
mircea_popescu: oh hehe. myeah.
mircea_popescu: <brianhoffman> mircea_popescu: you are asking about shipping of items across OpenBazaar? << yes.
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Are you talking about the bitcoin-otc wot, the gpg wot, the freenet wot, which one exatly?
brianhoffman: the issue of shipping ties in nicely with the discussion about arbitration and third-parties in trade transactions
mircea_popescu: dionyziz the first.
assbot: Rating Details for User 'dionyziz'
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Yes, I have sent and received some ratings and used this system to exachange bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman let me restate it. since shipping precludes practical anonimity, it makes sense to bundle the trust required to maintain pseudonymous identities with the trust required to police transactions, resulting in the following cutting of your mayo : centralized trade with decentralized comm network. which reduces your idea to reimplementing gpg over email.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz that is rather basic, but anyway, much better than nothing at all.
mircea_popescu: so, how do you aim to improve on this ?
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Yes, my rating is basic on bitcoin-otc, but I feel I have an understanding of your work.
dionyziz: Regarding your comments on shipping, this is a different issue which we also have concerns about.
mircea_popescu: well that was @ brianhoffman. you, i asked how you aim to improve the wot as it is
dionyziz: As for your question regarding improvements over your bitcoin-otc wot work, I'd like to first say that we appreciate the work you've done.
mircea_popescu: you know i've done nothing much re bitcoin otc. it's mostly nanotube's thing.
dionyziz: And it's an important asset for the bitcoin community.
dionyziz: Yes, I mean "you" in plural.
dionyziz: You as in, people in this channel who have worked on this.
mircea_popescu: but anyway! thanks, and dun worry about it, you're not being griled in the sense of having been a bad boy
mircea_popescu: im just trying to grok .
dionyziz: So, regarding improvements.
dionyziz: Some of these ideas are detailed in my paper, but keep in mind that my paper is incomplete and just lays out some of our thoughts. We are improving on it and thinking about additional things.
brianhoffman: I think I see what you’re saying in regards to reimplementing gpg. This is a valid point.
dionyziz: The first issue we have with bitcoin-otc is its Achilles' heel.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz i am keeping it in mind, which is why i asked diretly :)
dionyziz: We feel its centralization is harmful.
dionyziz: In OpenBazaar, our threat model requires no centralization, so we want users to be able to validate trust directly.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman no, it's not. looky here, let's model it. there are 3 items of interest. 1. the shipping of purchased items ; 2. the discussion of trade, ie, merchant and buyer meeting hteir minds ; 3. the payment for purchases. now, these 3 can be sorted in any which way. otc for instance sorts it that 2 is gpg over email or an irc channel, 1 is mail and 3 is the wot.
punkman: that's when I ask you to GPG sign something
dionyziz: This is the main reason we think bitcoin-otc wot is inadequate.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman your proposition is to somehow weld them together, but because you can not practically remove the problem of 1, it'll still revert to something similar, inevitably.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz are you familiar with the discussion of multicentrality vs decentralisation ?
brianhoffman: are you implying that the anonymity is simply thrown out the window once you begin shipping purchased items? i’m feeling dense here.
mircea_popescu: quite that, yes.
brianhoffman: well i guess my response at least initially would be are we really trying to solve that issue here...
brianhoffman: i don’t think that is really in scope for OpenBazaar
brianhoffman: i see it as an issue
brianhoffman: but i don’t believe we’re proposing a solution here at the moment for that challenge
mircea_popescu: i gather. but the thing is, that challenge will unravel whatever model you may build.
mircea_popescu: it's why silkroad collapsed, after all. you can't ship.
mircea_popescu: and since you can't really tell people what to do, you will end up in that conflict whether you want to or not.
brianhoffman: you do realize that a large percentage of items shipped are most likely illicit. this does not stop it from occurring.
brianhoffman: and those engaging in privacy conscious behavior will know to protect as best they can out of band from OpenBazaar
mircea_popescu: i think you maybe misunderstand how safety is effectually implemented.
brianhoffman: ok enlighten me
mircea_popescu: well, for as long as you're small nobody cares that you're moving contraband back and forth, because it's not meaningfully discernible from the general noise of the system
mircea_popescu: once you become large you ipso facto have a footprint
mircea_popescu: at which point you either go to jail or backstab your users
mircea_popescu: in practice, both.
brianhoffman: well i think that mirrors real life rather well. as your “image” becomes larger your activity becomes less indistinguishable from others.
brianhoffman: you stick out
dionyziz: I do not see why this is a necessity.
brianhoffman: i agree
brianhoffman: my argument is that this is a meatspace issue
mircea_popescu: dionyziz b ecause you're leaking information through the shipping. think of it in crypto terms, you're using a 8 bit key on an amiga as part of the process.
bounce: not all trades involve items shipped, and where they do the users of any system, decentralised or not, basically have to provide their own safety. cut-outs and that sort of thing. it does put a bit of a damper as to what is reasonable to advertise.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman well sure, but it doesn't so much matter if it's a meatspace issue or not. what matters is that it's the controlling issue
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Some items are shipped digitally.
mircea_popescu: and in being controlling, it'll control. which means it'll shape the marketplace.
dionyziz: But solving the shipping problem is currently out of the scope of OpenBazaar.
dionyziz: We're not trying to solve this problem.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz for that much your idea would work fine
dionyziz: We're not trying to solve every problem.
mircea_popescu: except information wants to be free and all that.
dionyziz: There are ideas to make shipping more untrackable.
brianhoffman: well i’d like to say we’re working on a decentralized drone delivery network as part of this
dionyziz: Rented PO boxes.
brianhoffman: but our scope is already huge
dionyziz: Drones.
dionyziz: etc. etc.
mircea_popescu: but yes, for that thin sliver where carders and snowden wanna pass along secrets, there's something.
dionyziz: And I'm interested in these ideas, but OpenBazaar is not trying to find solutions there.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz how old are you ?
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: I'm 27.
dionyziz: You?
thestringpuller: drones are not going to work in the US
thestringpuller: they WILL find you
dionyziz: thestringpuller: I live in the EU :)
mircea_popescu: okay. im 35. but anyway : no, rented po boxes and drones aren't solutions.
thestringpuller: and they will fine you
dionyziz: Sure, ok.
brianhoffman: hey all i have to run. very busy day but i am enjoying the convo. i will be back.
dionyziz: As I said, in OpenBazaar we don't try to solve the problem of shipping.
dionyziz: In the same way that cryptography isn't trying to solve all the problems of security,
mircea_popescu: ok, so what problem does it try to solve ?
dionyziz: in OpenBazaar we want to maintain anonymity at the point of trade.
mircea_popescu: you mean anonimity or pseudonimity ?
dionyziz: We want to allow people to agree on a trade and exchange the money and sign the contract in a pseudonymous manner.
dionyziz: The delivery is their own problem.
mircea_popescu: these two are not the same in any sense, stop using them as synonyms.
dionyziz: "Anonymity" and "pseudonymity" are defined precisely on my writing.
mircea_popescu: anyway : this already exists, it's a solved problem. why are you resolving a solved problem ?
dionyziz: I don't think it's a solved problem.
dionyziz: Can you explain why you think it's a solved problem?
mircea_popescu: yes. because for instance, lemme find it

mircea_popescu: this chan's always here for that very reason
dionyziz: Ah, I see what this is.
dignork: dionyziz: Another potential problem: decentralized arbitration will act as random oracle. If arbiters will keep bias towards buyer, sellers will increase prices to compensate. Bias towards sellers will make buyers to seek discount >= bias rate. Assuming sellers will have to maintain their ratings, risk will mainly be on the seller side, this risk will be priced in. Do you have any estimates on the
dignork: risk adjustment percentage?
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Maybe it is similar to this agreement that I did with a friend a few months ago? https://dionyziz.com/hedge.txt
mircea_popescu: dignork you can't have bias in a decentralized market. you will instead have volatility. bias happens in central markets like ebay deciding to side with buyer
dionyziz: I'm familiar with the concept of GPG-signing a personal contract.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz it's not personal in any sense. signatures are pseudonyms for this purpose
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: The problem I am trying to solve in OpenBazaar is in particular how two pseudonymous agents can trust each other without knowing each other.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, conceptually similar to your thing, sure. people agreeing on a trade and exchanging the money and signing the contract in a pseudonymous manner.

mod6: BingoBoingo: werd
BingoBoingo: dub: What's pink?
midnightmagic: I don't really care much about his attitude. But his brain is malfunctioning because he is drunk all the time.
midnightmagic: Also his drinking gets in the way of being a functional human.
asciilifeform: herr poettering is quite close to destroying linux as a going concern, imho.
asciilifeform: interesting that one usg mole could achieve this.
BingoBoingo: What is this shit? Did Hemmingway's drinking get in the way? Did Hunter S. Thompson's drinking get in the way? Maybe drinking is what keeps Linus effective in the face of Poetterings?
asciilifeform: a very curious 'effective'
midnightmagic: Other people being able to handle, or not, their drinking has nothing to do with whether Linus can.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, Red Hat gave him the platform. Fedora has close ties with Gnome... Basically one mole and a turdware vendor set up dominoes.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: But where is the evidence Linus can't
midnightmagic: BingoBoingo: You mean aside from every major talk he's given in the last X years in front of an audience and bragged about how he got blotto'd the night before?
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: That isn't ineffective. That's efficiency. Cramming as much living as possible into his time.
midnightmagic: Or do you mean aside from the steep decline in cognition in the last decade or so?
midnightmagic: Drinking until you can't remember is not "living." It is "dying."
BingoBoingo: If you get the success to get a big old role of drink tickets with your invite to speak at an event not using the decreases your compensation. Also drinking to forget clears crud out of the brain.
midnightmagic: I suppose that's so if you think your own body has no value.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: My body is a temple. Maybe it is some rural tribal arrangement made of straw held together with Giraffe shit, but god damn it, it is still a temple!

thestringpuller: Good 'ol Rhonda.
mircea_popescu: well, kinda worse than that. you don't give them a little change, you insist and repeat that they gotta get a little change.
thestringpuller: You make fun of an Italian eating pasta no one really cares.
thestringpuller: You point out negro's like fried chicken and it's racist. Hmmm...the plot thickens.
mircea_popescu: yeah. because italians may be people. like, individuals. so you make fun of that italian.
mircea_popescu: but black people don't have that. they have no souls, in the libertard's view.
mircea_popescu: so you can't make fun of the one guy, the one guy doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: you only can make fun of the whole group.
mircea_popescu: it's really disgusting, being a liberal.
thestringpuller: I blame the hippies.
thestringpuller: But that's just me.
mircea_popescu: i dun blame anyone. i'm more into hangings than into blamings.
thestringpuller: Ironically all the hippies from days of old are either dead or wearing suits these days.
thestringpuller: They shed their libertard skin it seems and a new generation of derps picked it up.
mircea_popescu: well like the saying goes, you can't stay socialist for long, it's the ideology of stupid.
thestringpuller: it makes everyone feel good, and that they are doing the right thing though.
thestringpuller: that was enlightening tho. i now can view socialism from a different light. ty mircea_popescu

WolfGoethe: Hi all, had some awesome conversation here before. Missed it
BingoBoingo: Hi WolfGoethe
BingoBoingo: !s WolfGoethe
WolfGoethe: my nick then was Ghaleon
BingoBoingo: !s Ghaleon
WolfGoethe: What is the most vital thing we must focus on now as a community ?
TheNewDeal: nihilism?
BingoBoingo: Manuls?
asciilifeform: manuls - out; colocolos - in ?
decimation: "as a community"?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe hybridizing the two?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: result - cat thicker than he is long ?
BingoBoingo: Of course, also better immune systems than manuls typically have.

WolfGoethe: we need to "close the circle" like the 13 colonies did. need a 20 year plan at least
BingoBoingo: WolfGoethe: Well doubling the blocksize every year for two decades is probably a problematic plan
assbot: PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames
WolfGoethe: how bout we just start thinking ahead first
decimation: asciilifeform: I should have known that lennart was behind that
mats_cd03: don't tell me what to do
mats_cd03: ur not my real dad
asciilifeform: decimation: i think it's in stock udev though
asciilifeform: decimation: so not even herr poettering's idea.
decimation: this seems like a nonsolution to a non problem
asciilifeform: it all sums to this. yes, i get it, you (for some value of 'you') like to pull your network cards out every morning, and cry when your 'eth0' ends up 'eth2' etc.
asciilifeform: and so that you don't cry, normal people have to bleed.
decimation: well except the kernel exposes that stuff in /proc or whatever
WolfGoethe: Why do you all think the price is so low?
asciilifeform: this is the basic 'ephialtes' logic of the retardation in question.
decimation: ephialtes?
asciilifeform: 'i'm a hunchback, everybody should be a hunchback'
asciilifeform: as pictured in the film '300'.
asciilifeform: !s ephialtes

mircea_popescu: !up WolfGoethe
WolfGoethe: Hi Mircea
decimation: in that slatestarcodex post, nyrwracu calls this the 'law of Jante'
WolfGoethe: I have been discussing with many folks why the price is tanking. it seems quite natural considering that btc is more of an asset than a currency... merchants are covnerting right to fiat and thus putting sell pressure on the exchanges
mircea_popescu: <decimation> "as a community"? << yeah seriously. lettuce focus as electromagnetic radiation instead.
decimation: !s jante law
assbot: The USG wasted another hundred million dollars it previously stole from average, hard working US citizens. Nobody cares. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
assbot: Law of Jante - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WolfGoethe: yes, saw your blog
WolfGoethe: they shall continue to tax the people with inflation thru the control of the volume of funds
WolfGoethe: my concern is how do we evolve bitcoin
mircea_popescu: so then. the price tanked temporarily because the usg tried, and failed, to kill it.
mircea_popescu: and we don't anything.
WolfGoethe: we need to close the circle
mircea_popescu: you're not even in the wot.
TheNewDeal: ...crickets...
WolfGoethe: in the wot?
decimation: I suspect by "evolve bitcon" you mean "increase the usd price"
mircea_popescu: hence the invitaiton to read a lot more.
WolfGoethe: the usd price is irrelevant
WolfGoethe: the goal is to evolve bitcoin by making the usd irrelvent
WolfGoethe: once bitcoin "closes the circle" then it shall be a true competitor to the usd
WolfGoethe: this is what they fear most as is evident by the case of the 13 colonies
WolfGoethe: here is a decent presentation on this concept - http://blog.easybitz.com/2014/10/05/closing-the-circle/
