bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: nothing less. our mafia vs theirs
bitcoinpete: i guess i didn't read the usg sale as propaganda-y
mircea_popescu: davout generally i might do something like "in case of acquisition by listed corp, you get the delta for the next 30 days"
bitcoinpete: i mean, the number of people who knew about d.series
bitcoinpete: there's room for coincidence
mircea_popescu: why not at any prior point for the past... year ?
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete the "we're selling bitcoin" news manipulation went in days before the "i'm going to kill your "investment" news manipulation" announcement.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu but i do suspect someone leaked teh d. series plans, because they've been moving before i said that. << can you explain "they've been moving?"
mircea_popescu: if they do a reverse-ipo for instance it'll stick.
davout: mircea_popescu: wrt to the d. series, in case of acquisition the asset becomes worthless, right?
nubbins`: sure, it might be in the wrong direction, but hey
nubbins`: but if i don't hop on the train, i'll never travel
mircea_popescu: just the usual mommentum traders getting raped yet again.
mircea_popescu: (it's really the same thing, trying to use the propaganda machine to control btc via "news" of "sales")
mircea_popescu: but i do suspect someone leaked teh d. series plans, because they've been moving before i said that.
mircea_popescu: sadly i have little avenue to bitchslap them
mircea_popescu: anyway, they'll announce it as somewhat under market.
fluffypony: no I don't mean from there perspective
bitcoinpete: "we promise to use these bitcoin to finance roads to hawaii"
mircea_popescu: it's the usg laundering its ill gotten bitcoins.
bitcoinpete: "we promise to use these bitcoins to finance libraries for coindeskers"
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: is the auction not based on price alone?
nubbins`: so, now's their chance
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu i'd love to be the one reading those proposals
mircea_popescu: nubbins` so make a bitbet. "the announced price of the usms sale will be under market rate at that time"
nubbins`: there's gotta be at least a few financial institutions/hedge funds/whatever that want btc but don't want to purchase from a foreign exchange, guy on the street, etc
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete they're not limited to being accessible to us citizens. they're limited to being accessible to that one corp that makes the most convincing case it'll be useful.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the announced price will be under market rate. the "winner" will not actually have to pay anything, but will have to support usg policy.
nubbins`: i wonder will these SR coins auction for below or above market rate
mircea_popescu: pankkake: "It will always be cheaper to run a small amount of hashing power than a large amount" wat << in good tech tradition, he understands nothing of business, including the fact that he understands nothing of it.

mircea_popescu: last time that happened we ended up with a hard fork. so far ghash is 0-1 on the score.
mircea_popescu: WAY better than that fuckwit eleutheria having 51%
davout: that resonates with asciilifeform's comment wrt taleb piercing the bozo field
davout: mircea_popescu: i just realized the "WOOT WTG WK!" quote was actually what someone said
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: "Even if it was unintentional you fucked up at everyone elses expense. Other people paid for your mistake in coding. You should return ALL the BTC you've mined." << someone was going on about how the confiscation "restored their faith in HUMANITY". this is then humanity, at its core. dunno why anyone'd want any part of it.
mircea_popescu: some real king solomons out there, we're so fortunate to have everything the cat dragged in "involved" in bitcoin. thank you accessibility, thank you ever so.
mircea_popescu: and the forumtards respond : ""If I didn't do it I would say that I didn't do it. You wrote a very long post and not one time did you say that you did not do it. To me, that says a lot! Don't bother now, it's too late.
mircea_popescu: makes it too damned easy for anyone to arbitrarily reject signs, which goes entirelky against the fucking point of a signature in the first place.
mircea_popescu: this is why i say the thing sucks and shouldn't be used.

mircea_popescu: well the more persuasive explanation is, elegius fucked up a server upgrade (on its sole server, if you don't count an old backup box which is never live anyway), lost some user's accounts
mircea_popescu: "P.S. - This is unrelated to any of the stats issues that have occurred. (Server migration for the new web server is still under way
)"
kakobrekla: elegius deceiving users? wouldn't be the first time.
mircea_popescu: o look, it's also closing ? isn't this one of the oldest pools still (sort-of) standing ?
mircea_popescu: "When they noticed, weeks later, they contacted us complaining. We asked them to sign messages to verify they were in fact in control of the addresses in question including asking them to include a real name and location in the signed message, refusing to discuss it until they had done so"
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would someone keep a 200 btc balance, and esp with elegius, is beyong me.
mircea_popescu: so elegius is stealing from some miner they had an argument with.
mircea_popescu: "My guess is that they never expected to get caught and suffer income loss as a result of their attack. But, once they were caught, I put a filter in place to block them from the payout queue (similar to the block on known MtGox addresses). Eligiuss offline wallet now has roughly 200 BTC work credits held from the payout queue under the attacker's addresses, that we have stopped them from stealing."
davout: to me it sounds retarded to confiscate such an amount on a suspicion, especially when the suspected attacker has no economic incentive to be attacking in the first place
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 me either tbh
mircea_popescu: davout the guy is a legit miner, but perhaps not too acquainted with logic. they're not detectable, they're susceptionable.
nubbins`: not the case at all
davout: mircea_popescu: "seems more a function ofyou for the first time reading miner stuff than anything else." <<< nah, just wtfing at this, wondering if i was right to be wtfing or simply stupid
mircea_popescu: seems more a function ofyou for the first time reading miner stuff than anything else.
nubbins`: wait, i thought the withholding hashes thing didn't work because of nonces or some sort of math shit
davout: lemme fish the post
mircea_popescu: davout well do they offer any proof ?
davout: mircea_popescu: "which kind ?" <<< apparently some eligius guy claims they've caught one of their miners doing the withold-correct-block-hashes thing
mircea_popescu: they're oppressed for a reason you know. nobody in the entire history of oppression was oppressed for anything but a reason.
mircea_popescu: the actual fate of all opressed little guys
mircea_popescu: or maybe they'll becomne dinner
Mats_cd03: interesting turn for the kurds though
Vexual: prolly got the condom bachine on aliexpress
mircea_popescu: who the hell knew "anatomical" is condom codeword for "i have a very small icepick"

mircea_popescu: but anyway, so i go buy one of each type, and as chance would have it i first try the tyhing called "anatomical"
nubbins`: imagine if you were to skip the women and fuck a pie

manamex: kakobrekla: I'm new here and looking around, browsing the logs
mircea_popescu: in principle tho the pools are open to this "who's willing to lose most money" attack, they could start doing it to each other (and perhaps the larger ones have done it to ensure their position already - it's disputed)
mircea_popescu: if you mean to try and double spend, it'd be hard for any pool to do. if you mean, the withholding to hurt the pool, it can't really, but extreme bad luck is always suspicious.
