(trilema) mike_c: urlencode(' ') = '+'
(trilema) mike_c: because the space is being double-url encoded instead of single url-encoded
(trilema) mike_c: how come !s can't do it?
(trilema) mike_c: 1 > 0.
(trilema) mike_c: ^ 1 result.
(trilema) mike_c: or at least the first isn't
(trilema) mike_c: ^ those aren't 0
(trilema) mike_c: !s "spy house jersey"
(trilema) mike_c: !s spy house jersey
(trilema) mike_c: it says 0
(trilema) mike_c: but results are wrong cuz your fetcher doesn't.

(trilema) mike_c: <+mp_a_colonia> mike_c, btw is btc live yet? << getting there. data is crunching.
(trilema) mike_c: you and whitney, good luck hanging on.
(trilema) mike_c: nice.
(trilema) mike_c: you made me spit out my coffee the other day when i read the log about your ichimo cloud
(trilema) mike_c: if you do well at your daytrading it will have little to do with TA and much to do with your competition :)
(trilema) mike_c: heh
(trilema) mike_c: well they already have the money. winners had to wire within 24 hours.
(trilema) mike_c: i'm sure they will eventually. possibly at govt pace though.
(trilema) mike_c: i guess its inside info
(trilema) mike_c: bitcoinpete: that research seems to be tough. we still don't know what anybody bid. you'd think the losers would at least say how much they bid.
(trilema) mike_c: it's going to be embarrassing if reddit finds out the price before b-a.
(trilema) mike_c: more inadequate bids: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/bitcoin-shop-provides-update-on-its-usms-bitcoin-auction-bid-2014-07-01

(trilema) mike_c: not so much causing it to go up. more like not preventing it from going up.
(trilema) mike_c: lying?
(trilema) mike_c: not going to happen, but, bingo's summer heat theory may be playing out :)
(trilema) mike_c: but for the no bettors, it would be irritating to be "right" but have lost.
(trilema) mike_c: bitbet was "on or before", so it already resolved.
(trilema) mike_c: it'll be a kick in the pants if diff is back under 14bn on bastille day.
(trilema) mike_c: "The chart is a chart of how much chart there is." << lol
(trilema) mike_c: <+kakobrekla> making people think. always a dubious idea. << also, minigames require no thought :)
(trilema) mike_c: but j/k, feedback is much desired.
(trilema) mike_c: i gotz work to do!
(trilema) mike_c: see what happens when you get me blabbing about this? too much blabbing.
(trilema) mike_c: in effect, he lost the bet that buying early would be advantageous
(trilema) mike_c: doesn't mean he didn't have an advantage when he bought it
(trilema) mike_c: now, in your case that time value didn't work out.
(trilema) mike_c: it's like an option. a guy who buys the option early is buying time value.
(trilema) mike_c: heh. improved help is also on the list. i'm thinking video tutorials.
(trilema) mike_c: in any case, point is that there is a shifting balance that rewards paying attention at multiple points through the game as opposed to rewards just decreasing over time.
(trilema) mike_c: unless life storms back, in which case you could get death cheaper later.
(trilema) mike_c: the best time to buy life is still to be determined.
(trilema) mike_c: cuz now it's more expensive
(trilema) mike_c: so, for example in game 10, the best time to buy death was frame 1
(trilema) mike_c: it's weighted by current board state.
(trilema) mike_c: the weighting is different from time (and better imo).
(trilema) mike_c: thanks. i am encouraged by early feedback. it will continue to get better.
(trilema) mike_c: a recognized one. it's currently a polling architecture. i want to switch it to sockets, which would speed it up.
(trilema) mike_c: well that's a problem!
(trilema) mike_c: no
(trilema) mike_c: to load you mean?
(trilema) mike_c: heh. that is more an excercise for the interested player.
(trilema) mike_c: punkman: that is actually very doable. it's on the list somewhere.
(trilema) mike_c: would it? silent auction instead of open?
(trilema) mike_c: hm. i'll have to think through mechanics/implementation of that. seems like it would just make the bomb pot hidden until all the bets landed on the last frame.
(trilema) mike_c: got that. not sure what you meant about bomb-in-advance bidding
(trilema) mike_c: punkman: noted.
(trilema) mike_c: punkman: well, bids are based on what makes it into a block. could you describe what you mean a bit?
(trilema) mike_c: the site's not broke yet :)
(trilema) mike_c: problem with making it odds based on pool is that it offers reducing incentive to contribute. i fell on the side of winner take all being more interesting. i am not married to it though.
(trilema) mike_c: you had feedback from your wol binge?
(trilema) mike_c: hey bingo.
(trilema) mike_c: ;;later tell BingoBoingo i'm here, fire away
(trilema) mike_c: g'morning
(trilema) mike_c: benkay:;;later tell mike_c https://atc.waroflife.com/rules/minigame/1/ "this page" has no link. << oops. thx.
(trilema) mike_c: maybe the auction bids leaked. anyone check USMS twitter feed?
(trilema) mike_c: nuttin, auction's over.
(trilema) mike_c: i'll start taking them and report back.
(trilema) mike_c: well, that wasn't entirely accurate. i do know how the losses would affect my conviction. it would change it.
(trilema) mike_c: nothing to watch. it's private.
(trilema) mike_c: rithm: right now.
(trilema) mike_c: whichever
(trilema) mike_c: *effect
(trilema) mike_c: the wins would be enjoyable. not sure how the losses would affect my conviction.
(trilema) mike_c: how good are you at DNS :)
(trilema) mike_c: if traders are all following the same script there is no profit to be made..
(trilema) mike_c: that's a big question obv. but i do believe short term price movements are random.
(trilema) mike_c: </rant>
(trilema) mike_c: expert in what?? predicting randomness?
(trilema) mike_c: and the fact that you can put your fibonacci elliot waves on a random walk chart doesn't bother you?
(trilema) mike_c: publish where?
(trilema) mike_c: that would be a good blog series. include results on some normalized scale with each post.
(trilema) mike_c: hehe. you going to report results?
(trilema) mike_c: ;;8ball should i buy or sell?
(trilema) mike_c: fibonacci your tea leaves
(trilema) mike_c: TaT, you know this technical crap is snake oil, right?
(trilema) mike_c: you can manipulate the matrix?? that is impressive.
(trilema) mike_c: dyslexia makes you replace 'c' with '@'? that sucks.
(trilema) mike_c: yeah. i don't think 'to' needs improving, just ignoring.

(trilema) mike_c: !s from:kakobrekla mike_c

(trilema) mike_c: just pretend mining. lot harder to blow out psu's that way
(trilema) mike_c: but not actually mining

(trilema) mike_c: it's not even a share of s.mg. it's a share of a unit of havelol's smg fund. but the discount is counterparty, plus the difference of havelock investor opinion vs. mpex investor opinion (or IQ).
(trilema) mike_c: probably overvalues havelock share.
(trilema) mike_c: no reason to go to 1 on that. should have been 80k, 90k.

(trilema) mike_c: that did sound funny. link?
(trilema) mike_c: you arguing on tardtalk again?
(trilema) mike_c: bitcoin side almost done. expect to ship it tmw.

(trilema) mike_c: "JavaScript-based cryptography" just sounds.. terrifying.
(trilema) mike_c: <+Naphex> maybe i can just roll something quick in js and leave it at that << famous last words?
(trilema) mike_c: you mean what happens when a block is orphaned?
(trilema) mike_c: the double spend had to do with making the SD tx ugly (lots of inputs), and double-spending with a fee. SD just started using fees and problem went away iirc.
(trilema) mike_c: this was explored exhaustively with satoshi dice. some serious gymnastics pulled it off with trivial amounts, and SD then reacted and closed that loophole as well.
(trilema) mike_c: yes. sleepy bettors will be accomodated.
(trilema) mike_c: so it should be seeds.therealaltcoin.org NS -> foo.therealaltcoin.org and then foo.therealaltcoin.org -> 54.x.x.x?

(trilema) mike_c: no, no s1.seeds
(trilema) mike_c: Apocalyptic: it does resolve to IP of nodes. but how does your computer know who to ask to resolve it.
(trilema) mike_c: punkman: no reason you should be able to ping it!
(trilema) mike_c: clear as mud?
(trilema) mike_c: in order for clients to query it, the root domain needs to list my server as a nameserver for seeds.atc
(trilema) mike_c: clients will query it to find active ATC nodes
(trilema) mike_c: davout: I am running a nameserver for seeds.atc
(trilema) mike_c: ugh. hopefully you didn't "fix" it, i think you had it :)
(trilema) mike_c: there's only one active GoW at a time. but i do want to add a list of old games, etc.
(trilema) mike_c: what? what browser/os are you on?
(trilema) mike_c: search sounds like good idea
(trilema) mike_c: why can't you copy-paste?
(trilema) mike_c: how many assetters does it take to screw in a lightbulb :p
(trilema) mike_c: 54.x.x.x *is* a nameserver
(trilema) mike_c: i'll let you know.
(trilema) mike_c: ThickAsThieves: the point is not for seeds.therealaltcoin.org to show a web page. what should happen when this is working is that it will point to active ATC nodes (which probably aren't running web servers)
(trilema) mike_c: oh, nvm. it's there now. weird.
(trilema) mike_c: A record seems to be gone
(trilema) mike_c: uh oh
(trilema) mike_c: what should happen is eventually you do a dig -t any therealaltcoin.org and it shows up
(trilema) mike_c: ttl is a suggestion
(trilema) mike_c: thanks guys. TaT and I were not getting closer to the goal :)
(trilema) mike_c: but only for seeds.therealaltco.org
(trilema) mike_c: we are.
(trilema) mike_c: this custom nameserver is running altcoin-seeder
(trilema) mike_c: we are trying to put a NS record in therealaltcoin.org that sets the nameserver for seeds.therealaltcoin.org
(trilema) mike_c: hm
(trilema) mike_c: cuz that's for the root domain
(trilema) mike_c: which isn't quite right
(trilema) mike_c: well, you were in the nameserver section

(trilema) mike_c: and by "week" i mean 1000 blocks.
(trilema) mike_c: yeah. game 8 on left/top is last week's game. below that, game 10, is next week's game.

(trilema) mike_c: ah, because it lies. this makes sense.
(trilema) mike_c: either previous backup could send those coins or it couldn't. i dun get it.

(trilema) mike_c: yeah, but national sports are monopolies. teams have salary caps.
