benkay: oh and also mircea_popescu there's some secret padding in the call collateral requirements not mentioned in the faq, correct?

benkay: asciilifeform: that's wrapping up human skill at game with human skill at computer
benkay: "Weak human + machine + better process was superior to a strong computer alone and, more remarkably, superior to a strong human + machine + inferior process."
benkay: tryna learn me about deterministic gameplay
benkay: nubbins` u so far behind again
benkay: could always implement turn time limits
benkay: a chaotic upper zone with good players and good computers but bad process with bad players and good computers and good process, to mangle a thing someone once said.
benkay: potentially a third tier too, augmented pros.
benkay: and chess
benkay: parsed "the former" as referring to games of skill
benkay: i r idiots
benkay: gotcha
benkay: why does chess work in this scenario and not go?
benkay: play versus each other with a stake?

benkay: kanzure: and that 30% rake.
benkay: a friend and i came up with an amusing scenario where the refusal to play with bitcoin drives apple out of the mobile game
