Vexual: and i got arrested
Vexual: just drunk and disorderly tho, so its hardly news

Duffer1: we may never know for sure
b0n1: hey there! I try to export trading data from bitstamp with sierracharts but strangely i get inhomogenous time steps
Vexual: i think if a bot is female, one knows
b0n1: that means i have a measurement point at t and the next is at t+x and the other next is at t+y with x=!y
b0n1: really strange
b0n1: someone made similar experience?
Vexual: i felt the milk out for a time step that left in inhomogenous

Duffer1: it's like a bitcoin blackhole
mircea_popescu: azoo no havelock company is legit,
mircea_popescu: havelock itself is run as a scam by scammers.

azoo: to matching btc istself.. what do you mean by that?
azoo: mircea_popescu: can you back this by some facts?
Duffer1: the appreciation of bitcoin in fiat outpaced value appreciation of all of havelocks offerings
Duffer1: by a mile, it's not even close
mircea_popescu: azoo sure. they reorganised as a entity run by "no one", recently. after which they allowed their largest company (virtex) to simply walk away from the investors
mircea_popescu: collected >4k btc this year, paid no dividends, is now gone.
Apocalyptic: mircea, but you can have real shares now !
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the statistical argument Duffer1 presents is sound. they never had a company that made investors a profit, and statisticallty they're batting the usual global scam exchange, -50% in 1/2 year.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic for any value of real that equals worthless.
Apocalyptic: i'm just trolling
mircea_popescu: oiknow :)
azoo: mircea_popescu: i am also considering (your?) mpoex site but its less obvious what is what:-)
azoo: mircea_popescu: is mpoex a scam as well
azoo: ?
mircea_popescu: so read the contracts or w/e.
mircea_popescu: no.
mircea_popescu: also it's MPEx.
Apocalyptic: azoo, you're mixing 2 things up, there's no mpoex but mpex and mpoe
mircea_popescu: but to give you a proper sense of proportion : when s.dice delisted from mpex, it was actually announced it got sold off, rather than lie about it a la havelock. and then mpex investors got paid on the delisting.
mircea_popescu: this was someting a degree of magnitude larger, too.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [COG] 4 @ 0.03099999 = 0.124 BTC [-]

mircea_popescu: asic is not efficient, not really, cause you'll need to add memory bus and a bunch of clocking and so on
mircea_popescu: fpga + ram much better solution
mircea_popescu: unless you own a foundry, anyway.
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, that amazes me as well

mircea_popescu: lmao. fucktard.
mircea_popescu: "1) Mining based upon resource consumption results in centralization."
mircea_popescu: noob puts on pope hat, makes blood-curdingly stupid general statement with all the authority of stupidity.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the prev point, the way it usually works is like this : muppet (usually young, ambitious, socially marginal character) finds out about bitcoin.
Duffer1: ha
mircea_popescu: within a day he's bouight some, and spends the next few days not sleeping enough and reading bullshit sources a la reddit.
mircea_popescu: within a week he's put most of his available cash into it, and is getting to a manic phase
mircea_popescu: consider : http://bitbet.us/bet/519/btc-network-difficulty-to-top-1b-before-2014/#c2087
mircea_popescu: so by now he's ripe for the plunder. makes some "investments" on the power of social proof, gets raped, gets depressed and gets to hear from all the (few) people in his life about how he failed again
mircea_popescu: after all, he ain't socially marginal for nothing, he's socially marginal because he has mental habits that don't promote success.
mircea_popescu: and that's all, it took three weeks. next month, new guy hears about bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: Lol, Maybe someone ought to sell Lithium Soda for BTC
mircea_popescu: except he wouldn't take it.
mircea_popescu: mpoe-pr sells lithium soda. our noob is more likely to ignore her.
Duffer1: and they don't even know you're actually trying to help them by paying her to do it

mircea_popescu: i wasn't kidding when i said they're turning into niggers.
mircea_popescu: what bitcoin does is it meaningfully sepparates the population, and i see nobody credibly arguing for extending human status past the 2nd bump
asciilifeform: it's at least as much of a sifter as abstract algebra.
pankkake: "most people can't learn to program" is really true. but it goes against the egalitarian ideology "you can do anything"
asciilifeform: and these sample people think that training circus animals is cruel.

mircea_popescu: "The interpretation of the results of the above assignment test make me feel angry. I am not a teacher but I am confident that I can teach (in less than 15 minutes) any person smart enough to be admitted to a computer science class how to pass the above test. The results speak volumes about the utter ignorance of educators regarding the nature of human knowledge and how to acquire it. It is a tremendous act of injustic
mircea_popescu: e to blame the students and not the teachers. Now if a student is *unwilling* to learn the material then that is another question.
mircea_popescu: But to blame the poor education methods on students willing to acquire the knowledge is just ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: check out this guy. he's a teacher who feels able to help people fake the test,
mircea_popescu: and he imagines this means the conclusions of the test only show how desperately the world needs more teachers.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is the original font of bureaucracy.
asciilifeform: alan kay (smalltalk), the original 'i'll teach even monkeys to program' fellow, persists in this delusion.
mircea_popescu: it's not so different from the conviction one can patent medicine,

asciilifeform: maybe these folks will relent once they understand that even literacy cannot be taught to everyone.
mircea_popescu: these folks will never relent.
mircea_popescu: inasmuch their problem is a relation to the self rather than to the world, the only way to have them relent is to change them
mircea_popescu: either back into anorganic matter, or else chinese re-education or w/e.
asciilifeform: or just let them go broke, and they can join the crackpots who spend their lives teaching dolphins sign language.
mircea_popescu: same thing.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, there is a good objection there : the example given seems very tilted toward people with experience in a C-like language.
mircea_popescu: "otherwise you need to use the 'code-cracking' part of your brain to try and infer a meaning from an unknown syntax."

mircea_popescu: you are wrong to imagine this problem can be solved by specification.
mircea_popescu: this is the exact equivalent of the "poorly specified bitbet bet" fallacy.
asciilifeform: any kid who can still wiggle out from under the conditions with finesse should be marked passing.

Duffer1: there are always going to be projects worth supporting
sundun_: so what are you saying
pankkake: if you don't really know or understand what the thing is about, if ANYTHING is unclear, don't invest
Duffer1: yes
Duffer1: and
Duffer1: even if you do know what it's about, it's very unlikely to outperform btc itself as an investment
fiat500: dont just invest in btc "business" for the sake of doing it
sundun_: so are you guys not invested in btc securities :/
sundun_: you're saying that i shouldn't invest cuz i'm not completely knowledgable
mircea_popescu: they are, they just try to conspire to keep you away from the really good stuff see ?
fiat500: lol
twizt: lol
sundun_: :/
sundun_: i'm confused
Duffer1: he's joking man
sundun_: okay
fiat500: sundun_: why do companies list themselves on the stock market in general?
sundun_: for supporters
fiat500: lolz
twizt: no
sundun_: wat
twizt: for initial capital
sundun_: yeah
sundun_: support
sundun_: financial support that they need to run business
twizt: thats not support
pankkake: mircea_popescu: I've been accused to do that. same as mining
sundun_: how is it not support
twizt: having facebook followers is support ;)
pankkake: there's no use :(
sundun_: oh i c
sundun_: i meant in different way
sundun_: anyway
sundun_: you guys have scared me
Duffer1: pankkake there is hope still, he did find his way here
fiat500: (also lets not consider cases where they are forced to because they've reached a threshold of stakeholders)
sundun_: i didn't think it would be a big deal to invest in neo&bee
pankkake: :)
twizt: everything is a risk sundun_
sundun_: i understand its' a risk
sundun_: don't invest anything you're unable to lose
sundun_: blah blah
twizt: just gotta make sure u if you should take certain ones or not
sundun_: okay
sundun_: thanks i mean it
pankkake: the "can't afford to lose" is certainly tired, and highly incomplete. you have to judge what is the risk and the potential reward
pankkake: if you can get 10% if it works, but it has a 50% chance to work, it's way too risky
sundun_: i see
sundun_: so back to havelock
sundun_: mircea thinks havelock is a scam
sundun_: bc of all the failed securities
Duffer1: even if they aren't a scam just look at the track record of their offerings
Duffer1: they might as well be a scam
sundun_: yeah failed securities
pankkake: I believe they don't have the best interests of shareholders anymore

fiat500: do you still see mpex registration staying at 30BTC?
sundun_: lmao
mircea_popescu: fiat500 yes.
pankkake: +in mind
mircea_popescu: 30 btc will still be 0.00000003% of btc in circulation. it's not a high barrier by any means.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 115 @ 0.00289 = 0.3324 BTC [+]
pizzaman1337: I wonder if someday I'd ever consider selling my MPEX registration...
fiat500: thats a nice way to look at it
mircea_popescu: and if 40k is too high, then people should pay less per btc
fiat500: the accepted theory on deflation is it causes prices to drop, looks like you're having none of that (or dont care about USD exchange rate)
mircea_popescu: this isn't a price, it's a barrier.
fiat500: ah
mircea_popescu: you're not buying something from me, you're proving something to me.
fiat500: the 30btc is your version of accreditation then
mircea_popescu: half of it.
mircea_popescu: the financial half. you also gotta be able to talk to the exchange.
pizzaman1337: will you ever stop allowing new registrations?
mircea_popescu: altoghether ? probably not.

jurov: there were some amends for unlucky people who had expiration date set, but afaik not anymore

mircea_popescu: now this is true. course is risky, if your key falls in the fucking pit and dies, you're sol
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, you can actually deliver an acct.
jurov: but no it would not. you could have PUSH prepared for later execution
jurov: *signed
mircea_popescu: if you know what your shit will be like atg the time of demise.
mircea_popescu: say yiou have a push for X and you meanwhile sold Y
mircea_popescu: you'd have to keep it updated.
pizzaman1337: every time you did anything
mircea_popescu: (trivial to code into your pympex or w/e you use, obviously)
pizzaman1337: but then you need to keep that safe too
jurov: i can just sign PUSH|addr|9999999 for all assets?
kakobrekla: i use punch cards.
mircea_popescu: jurov ya but it'll fail
asciilifeform: ok friendly reminder
asciilifeform: cardano key extraction is not physically impossible (that'd be a lie) - just non-trivial.
jurov: hmmmmmmm.... so a bunch of smaller then
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how'd one do it ?
asciilifeform: resistance to physical attack is not on the menu. (if you want this, encase yours in concrete.)
Vexual: epoxy
jurov: no need to extract the keys, prepared in advance PUSH will do
asciilifeform: see, there are two contradictory design objectives
asciilifeform: auditability and physical security
asciilifeform: they cannot be reconciled
asciilifeform: so the latter isn't in the mix
jurov: Vexual: asciilifeform posted a paper exactly about that yest
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so suppose i want to extract the key so i can make a mpex acct and sell it ands then later steal the guy's shit. how do i do it ?
asciilifeform: the only definite promise is that the key cannot be exfiltrated silently by the attached pc.
asciilifeform: 1) read the (to be published) design docs
asciilifeform: 2) remove appropriate chips
asciilifeform: 3) read back bits
asciilifeform: 4) process into gpg-compatible key.
mircea_popescu: aha.
Vexual: nintendo has that exopy that will cunt up a chip if you try to get it off

asciilifeform: Vexual: if you keep keys in SRAM it gets much easier

mircea_popescu: dub why ?!

mircea_popescu: sane*
dub: 't get over one person (gmaxwell) being a fuckwit
dub: so he rants a little bit, makes a nuisance of himself in a couple of channels
dub: gmax and shilltown negrate him
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is "thelordoftime"
dub: rules say if your trust web with nanotube is <0 you can't use the system
truffles: gmaxwell that douche
asciilifeform: since this is important, i'll repeat it: you can have a cryptowidget that nukes itself when disassembled, circuits potted in unobtainium, etc. or you can have one whose function you can personally verify. can't have both. 'fried ice.'
dub: mircea_popescu: gmax shil, 12 year old operator in 0otc
dub: -otc*
mircea_popescu: dub is this -otc drama ?
dub: its spilled out of -otc but basically
mircea_popescu: so the argument that wot is broken says that you can't rate unless you're above 0 and idiots can get you below 0 ?
dub: correct
dub: key is that nanotube has a Trust Cabal effect
asciilifeform: wait, everyone's rating counts towards this purpose equally?
asciilifeform: that's bizarre
mircea_popescu: the counter to this is that if you don't do this, anyone can end up -infinity by the effect of endless socks
Vexual: needs proof of stake
mircea_popescu: "I haven't traded with this guy, but I've heard from people I trust that he has used legal intimidation to force censorship of people's ratings of him. "
mircea_popescu: herp.
dub: exactly
mircea_popescu: since when is retardtown preoccupied with censorship lol
dub: 'derp derp derp doing this will make gmaxwell like me'
mircea_popescu: or is it one of those, "we can't stand censorship that's not directed at the enemy"
asciilifeform: proof of stake? then who'd need wot. just have people sign 'i like mr. xyz' with an addr. key
asciilifeform: the other way to avoid 'imperium in imperio' in a wot is: a tyrant.
Vexual: 50000bc hates you
dub: stamit is weird and has entitlement issues in that he thinks being a bag of air breathing meat entitles him to some basic rights
mircea_popescu: dub the funny thing is, gmaxwell himself is like 3 angry people away from oblivion
nubbins`: thing about the wot is that most of the ratings are less than useless
dub: but hes no scammer
nubbins`: seriously

asciilifeform: easy fix for wot (was gonna write this myself before i ever heard of btc) is: no global totals.
mircea_popescu: same is true of houses, women, puppies, clouds, wjhat have you
asciilifeform: any user must be viewed through the lens of a selected other.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody reallty uses the global totals that's sane
benkay: ^^
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: even the puppies? D;
mircea_popescu: this is like, mpoe-pr 2012 bitcoin 101
asciilifeform: except, if we are told correctly, for the 0-cutoff
mircea_popescu: well it used to be a 0 total, apparently nanotube improved it so it's 0 to him
mircea_popescu: since he runs gribble there's some sense to this (as grible could reasonably use his rating to see the world)
asciilifeform: fixed then. got our tyrant plugged in.
mircea_popescu: i suppose a decent solution for this is for an interested 3rd party to make dubble, which looks from dub's perspective
mircea_popescu: i think nano'd be amenable to the arrangement.
nanotube: all the code is foss. wanna spin up your own bot, nobody's stopping you.
nanotube: it was just an expedient method to stop rating spam/shilling in its tracks.
