truffles: college athletes dont get proper compensation, heh
ohider: if people want to steal ideas and resubmit theres no stopping that but if students can have a way of getting paid the motivation of doing school work is changed
ohider: and also use bitcoin to pay student athletes
pankkake: but you expect people to "tip" for homework? I don't see the relation to reddit
ohider: my website is boco.bit
Duffer1: using bitcoin would be a good way to get caught
Duffer1: wouldn't you want something without a public ledger if you don't want to worry about getting expelled?

BingoBoingo: I dunno Bitcoin might be a great way to get around NCAA prohibitions on paying college athletes if it is done right.
ohider: shit ok i need to do some more work
ohider: ya thats my idea
ohider: buy bit coins through localbitcoin.com all across the country and use those to pay your atheletes
ohider: the costs would be plane flights and use to buy bitcoin
ohider: USD*
truffles: flights to?
ohider: if you are buying bitcoin with cash its best to do it all over the country so no one remembers you so you would need to travel some
BingoBoingo: ohider: Nah, it is fine if people remember you buying. It might also be helpful with that little trust business...
truffles: y wouldnt they remember u?
ohider: if you are buying large amounts of bitcoin, the seller will remember you
Duffer1: you would need an enormous amount of bitcoins to pay college athletes what they bring in for their states annually
ohider: exactly
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 20850 @ 0.00090868 = 18.946 BTC [+] {2}
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: That much is probably unreasonable, but Bitcoin could be away for school's boosters to continue continuting to athletes as they have always done, and probably in richer amounts.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: next maybe you will suggest bitcoin as a way to pay beggars?
asciilifeform: these people barely have enough brains to use fiat...
ohider: fuck why not there an article about a homeless guy who has a tablet and a solar panel that lives off bitcoin
truffles: lol!
ozbot: Homeless, Unemployed, and Surviving on Bitcoins | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com
Duffer1: did you read that article?
pankkake: didn't read the article but sounds like the usual hype
Duffer1: pure horseshit is another word for it
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah. School boosters generally have a motivation for paying student athletes in that the more homework the athlete can afford the moar handegg they can practice and hopefully the more the team wins. What the athlete in this scheme would probably end with is not the Bitcoins, but some other value for which Bitcoins provide a measure of plausible deniability.

ohider: whats the motivation of media covering that story?
Duffer1: 650+ a day clicking 12 videos that pay .00000001 per click
Duffer1: does not compute
ohider: the second one about the guy w/ solar panel and tablet
Duffer1: oh dunno didn't read, is he surviving on coins he already had or is he magically earning something from nothing like the wired article?
ohider: dude is a dev and homeless by choice. A "Into the Wild" type dude
ohider: but he is homeless and can't get a bank account
ohider: so he does bitcoin
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 it was bs when it first came out, it still is.

ohider: who is long on litecoin being that scrypt asic is coming down the line
ohider: will asic do to litecoin what it did to bitcoin ?
ohider: I hear this shit about bitcoin needs litecoin like gold needs silver. Is the next investment a coin that is impervious to asic?
mircea_popescu: it may well wreck it
mircea_popescu: seeing how possibly the onl;y thing keeping ltc alive is the insistent dedication of people who wish to mine but can't afford asics
mircea_popescu: going from the fringe fave to the mainstream clone is a move few survive

pankkake: litecoin would need asics to survive, but it will not please litecoiners
ohider: doesn't asic allow people who have huge amounts of capital to make waves in the bitcoin environment
pankkake: what does that mean?
ohider: asic costs a lot but you get a lot of bang for your buck
asciilifeform: re: ltc/asics: 'you can run but you can't hide.'
Duffer1: the only ones making money on asics are the manufacturers
ohider: if GE wants to kill bitcoin they could just buy a shit ton of asic technology and dominate it
pankkake: gpus cost a lot too… (except of course that most litecoiners are 15 year olds who don't pay for gpus and electritiy)
pankkake: if you want to "dominate" litecoin just rent botnets or supercomputers for a day
Duffer1: it would take the efforts of a major nation to attempt such an attack on bitcoin
pankkake: asics just make attacks costlier
Duffer1: it might even already be to late for them to produce something capable of it
pankkake: well, with asics closer to industry standards, yes
ohider: all you need to kill bitcoin is to create distrust in the people who believe in it
ohider: the dreaded 51% attack would be one way of doing that
ohider: how much would that cost
Duffer1: does not compute
ohider: 100 million
ohider: 200 million
ohider: if bitcoin threatens fiat wouldn't that be a small price to pay to kill it
pankkake: they would have to kill it early - if they take interest when it's actually challenging, it's going to be much harder
Duffer1: that assumes any of the other 189 nations wouldn't work in proportional measure to protect it, let alone the x amount of bitcoiners who already have billions in it not acting to protect themselves
Duffer1: ^ @ ohider
Duffer1: there's a relevant trilema article on this somewhere
pankkake: why would a state chose to use/protect bitcoin? (real question)
Duffer1: to spite a rival nation / state that wants to kill it
ohider: if its bullet proof its a way to get off the USD
pankkake: though I could see it. like kings who made their countries democracies to avoid being overthrown
Duffer1: if the US tried to kill bitcoin, i'd bitbet china would work to protect it
Duffer1: jsut because, fuck you
Duffer1: seriously
Duffer1: oh i didn't say it was bulletproof
pankkake: i don't really believe in those politics. it has to make sense economically
Duffer1: it's manmade, so there's that against it already
Duffer1: ok maybe not china, but maybe putin wouldn't pass up such an opportunity to spit in the US' eye
ohider: @ pankkake where does that figure come from in that coinmetrics
pankkake: they explain it on the website
Duffer1: i like how the natural cost of mining equipment for bitcoin is included in the "Defense Spending" catagory

ohider: I'm trying to convince my roommate to get into bitcoin
ohider: he doesn't want to but i know there's a breaking poit
ohider: point*
ohider: whats the best argument to go about this
Duffer1: it's the only shot your generation has at any wealth
Duffer1: take it or don't
ohider: less idealistic
Duffer1: ground investment in a platform and method of value transfer that has never existed before
Duffer1: ground floor investment*
pankkake: why do you want to convince him?
ohider: for xmas i gave 0.15 btc to everyone in my familye
Duffer1: good man
ohider: I'm long on bitcoin
pankkake: what were the reactions?
ohider: so if it gets accepted and the price goes up, i make money
ohider: my brother thinks I'm a crazy man
ohider: my dad seconds that
pankkake: the thing is, if you tell people to buy bitcoins, and they lose money… oops
ohider: my little brother has no idea what it is
ohider: but my mom thinks its the tits
Duffer1: it's a modern experiment their investment is directly funding science
ohider: the best thing about it is now everyone has bitcoin
ohider: if they want to cash it out
ohider: they have to figure out how to
Duffer1: and disrupting economic / social theory
ohider: so in a way they educate themselves about bitcoin
Duffer1: i'm kinda nearing the end of my list here, does your family support relatives overseas or own a business that accepts visa/mastercard/paypal?

Duffer1: transaction fees
ohider: ah
Duffer1: bitcoin payments bypass usurious paypal/mastercard/visa/western union processing fees etc

mircea_popescu: <ohider> if GE wants to kill bitcoin they could just buy a shit ton of asic technology and dominate it << way too late for that.
ohider: boom
mircea_popescu: and who are you anyway ?
pankkake: I missed the "buy" part - if you want to 51% attack, you will never get enough by just buying
Duffer1: thank you that is very much appreciated ohider
ohider: my buddies website he needs some advertisement
mircea_popescu: so what's your website ?
ohider: boco.bit
ohider: i'm still at the developing stage though
ohider: need some help
Duffer1: i don't think i read exactly what it was you wanted to do with the site
ohider: students post their work along with a bitcoin address
Duffer1: essays and homework i'm assuming?
ohider: if its good people will donate
ohider: whatever they feel confident in
ohider: if people are willing to tip fellow redditors for three sentence posts, whats the value of a dynamite research paper
mircea_popescu: did you do your research to know what % of students can access .bit domains ?
ohider: namecoin is in its infancy
ohider: i bought 5 or 6 domain names
BingoBoingo: ohider: Namecoin is a 4 year old infant then...
mircea_popescu: no, you are in your infancy. namecoin has been in its infancy since at least 2011
ohider: what .bit site do you frequent
mircea_popescu: when i first bought some domains that i never bothered develop.
pankkake: I'm a fan of namecoin and I can't even access it
pankkake: oh, well, it really resolves to 10.0.0.7 - so there's nothing?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the research papers online model chiefly works on the basis of their vast database of already submitted papers which they own and don't pay the authors for [anymore]. unless you have 1000s of works of already stale material it'll be a tough nut to crack.
ohider: the idea of some company buying the domain name you squated on is a pipe dream
mircea_popescu: ohider they were my trademarks.
Duffer1: there's a trilema.bit?
Duffer1: brb
mircea_popescu: cause... why bother./
Duffer1: j/k
ohider: so my brother goes to a really good art school
ohider: what if students could put up there art work
Duffer1: deviantart + bitcointip
ohider: if you want to print a poster to put on your wall
ohider: what would you pay for that artwork
ohider: 0.001 btc?
ohider: 0.0001 btc?
mircea_popescu: how are you going to steal deviantart's fanbase ?
ohider: whats his site
Duffer1: deviantart
BingoBoingo: How are you going to compete with actual printed works from nubbins' who is already in the WOT?
Duffer1: does nubs screenprint everything? i thought he just did his own designs
mircea_popescu: presumably nubbins is only one person so he can get overloaded
BingoBoingo: I imagine eventually nubs could move to the sweatshop model
Duffer1: ohider i don't think there's a bitcoin tip function for deviantart, but if a website like deviantart started accepting bitcointip and it became popular, deviantart would just add it and you'd be s.o.l.
Duffer1: same with etsy
mircea_popescu: i thought etsy took btc
ohider: it may be idealist but i think that there is value in academic work
Duffer1: do they? it's been a while since i've been shopping
mircea_popescu: i dont think i ever shoip there but i recall some pretty nude young thing telling me she got some btc from selling her artwork
Duffer1: i think you're right, i just don't see how you'll be able to monetize
mircea_popescu: mebbe im confusing them
ohider: dude look at bitcoin tip on reddit
ozbot: Bitcoin - Etsy Teams
mircea_popescu: yah, speaking of which, do you have global figures of the reddit tip thing ? what's monthly total ?
ohider: so i can get 0.001 btc for writing some shit on a blog
Duffer1: right but what i'm asking is how do you make your money? would you take a % of the tip?
Duffer1: i'm pretty sure reddittip doesn't do that
ohider: at first I'm not making money
ohider: i want my site to be exclusive to the university that i go to
ohider: it will be a site that only students can register accounts on but anyone can view/donate
ohider: i don't want to reinvent the wheel but it will be a craigslist/kickstart for anything college kids want
ohider: funding for a party
BingoBoingo: ohider: First I'd want to know what university... The wrong one could kill this whole thing at the start
ohider: funding for a school group or organization
ohider: funding for some killer architecture model you designed
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1200 @ 0.00090721 = 1.0887 BTC [+]

ohider: i post my ad for these shirts and say hey, heres my bit message address i don't want to discuss financials over email or phone.
ohider: i might be selling t shirts or i might be selling contraband
ohider: on my side, the t shirt business is legit legal
ohider: so im not worried about what sellers are actually selling
ohider: just give them the means through bitcoin. bit message to do whatever they wabt
ohider: want*
Duffer1: with each of the platforms you're talking about using, you're adding another hurdle for joeshmo customer
Duffer1: .bit first bit message second
ohider: if joeshmo user wants to buy an 8ball
BingoBoingo: And all of these platforms for some tiny consumer use
ohider: they will figure it out
Duffer1: your target market just doesn't exist man
ohider: silk road
Duffer1: they'd have to 1 - know about and use bitcoin and special handling for .bit domains, 2 - will have to exist at your school exclusively, 3 - understand bitmessage communication, 4 - do drugs
Duffer1: silk road was just bitcoin and tor
Duffer1: and was worldwide
ohider: theres a feeling of being "in" when your privy to ways of getting illegal shit
ohider: im not loping for a huge consumer base
ohider: looking*
ohider: just those kids who are willing to do the work
mircea_popescu: how old are you ?
ohider: college aged
mircea_popescu: well, that feeling of being in has a way of turning into a reality of being in.
ohider: imagine if silk road was exclusive to a small community
Duffer1: it would be absurdly easy to shut the whole network down
ohider: but on top of exclusively buying illegal contraband it actually had a higher purpose
Duffer1: get everyone busted/expelled
mircea_popescu: for instance, the silkroad kid they caught by discovering that he came here going "hey guise, how would someone make like a bitcoin tor craigslist"
mircea_popescu: or at least so they said.
Duffer1: i think a bitcoin based localized community market is a great idea, maybe not so profitable but still something i think people would use
mircea_popescu: except college kids rarely are part of the local community
Duffer1: but to take that one step further into facilitating drug trade, i don't believe you're ready to hide from the awesome and terrifying might of the usgov
mircea_popescu: they're there to go to college.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like us soldiers in vietnam
ohider: im not initially worried about making money with the marketplace
ohider: if something has value there are ways of making money off it
ohider: look up how craigslist makes money
Duffer1: certainly but is the risk an par with the reward
ohider: the guy is a fucking genius / billionaire
Duffer1: on par*
Duffer1: you risk 20+ years in prison for x amount of cash
mircea_popescu: a) the craigslist guy isn't a billionaire ; b) i am.
ohider: ha right
mircea_popescu: im gonna print these out for when i'm old. just too good stuff.

benkay: not now. not for ten years, likely as not. and maybe even local fiat is more useful at that point, and those who are lucky enough to hold butts will transfer in and out of local fiat scrip as appropriate for their cashflow needs.
benkay: mircea_popescu has an article about deflationary currencies around somewhere.
benkay: Duffer1: yes, that's mine.
benkay: you'll note the link to my otc profile at the bottom of the page.
Duffer1: oh missed that
KRS|Gotyawallet: is it worth looking at otc for good buys or mostly market price?
benkay: what is a good buy?
KRS|Gotyawallet: below market price?
benkay: a good price for a tiny amount of butts, or a clean transaction that keeps your name out of the dirt?
KRS|Gotyawallet: oh i see umm i'm not sure what you mean about the second part
benkay: some people don't really feel like going through the AML/KYC rectal analysis.
benkay: or whatever the eurobutt equivalent is.
KRS|Gotyawallet: ok i was starting to think along those lines- gotcha.
KRS|Gotyawallet: i think its worth looking at then-for sure thanks
benkay: mp says these things and everyone's like "u crazy romanian:

benkay: i suppose he leaves the whys and wherefores to the low hanging fruits
KRS|Gotyawallet: i'm not understanding sturles pricing..weird. wonder if he's quoting pesos
KRS|Gotyawallet: looking for a good deal for say $10K
benkay: firing up an #otc reputation a few months ago and ramping up your trades looks like a real good idea in retrospect, doesn't it?

the20year: Mortgage would run about $200 a month
the20year: Mortgage would require you save some money back for a down payment
mike_c: that's not realistic. would need to get money to fix it up

testingUnoDosTre: mircea, I did not expect you to be alive in this thread, being my first time here
assbot: Last 1 lines bashed and pending review. (http://dpaste.com/1534397/plain/)
testingUnoDosTre: scratch that thought, I was sent here from your twitter page
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13800 @ 0.00090596 = 12.5022 BTC [-] {5}
kakobrekla: there is no ctrl-z on irc
mircea_popescu: testingUnoDosTre a, you the reddit guy ?
kakobrekla: unlike forums, twitters, facebooks and skypes
testingUnoDosTre: No, I try to stay far away from reddit. Used to frequent battle.net though
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 19 @ 0.05 = 0.95 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: that's interesting. anyway, welcome. there's about 1mn btc represented here, tho most people are not nearly as verbose as me.
mircea_popescu: your essential reading, other than the channel log, is modestly http://trilema.com/category/bitcoin/ and perhaps http://trilema.com/category/mpex/
testingUnoDosTre: Yes, your websites are far greater reads than the bitcointalk subforums
mircea_popescu: i should hope so :D
Duffer1: reading bitcointalk is a lot like digging for gold in a sewer
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lame bots that merely lift wallets don't count
asciilifeform: gotta bomb the market, induce oscillatory panics, other fun.
kakobrekla: <asciilifeform> big fat prize (from the god of war, not from yours truly) to the first fellow who gets idiots to run a trojaned trading bot.
kakobrekla: this?
kakobrekla: must be extra easy
the20year1: Concerning most assets on mpex, what's the average issuer equity in the stock?
mircea_popescu: yeah, right, because bitcoin is so fragile one man and his genius can fuck it all up.
mircea_popescu: wrong year all over again
asciilifeform: no need to fuck it all up, any more than one nuke needs to demolish a whole planet to be worth setting off...
testingUnoDosTre: I would love to see some of the originally mined bitcoins moved around, just to see some reaction by the market.
the20year1: Why do you think there would be reactioon?
kakobrekla: there was a huge spike in bitcoin days destroyed
kakobrekla: couple of days ago
kakobrekla: maybe a week?
asciilifeform: testingUnoDosTre: there was a rumory mubling that a few 100K of circa-2010 (?) coins moved, but no one linked to hard data.
kakobrekla: and guess what, we are still here
testingUnoDosTre: Isn't there about 1 million coins in some of the original accounts?
the20year1: It's around there
mircea_popescu: a little under that
the20year1: there's half a million coins in accounts from 2009 that are from early miners, no movement
kakobrekla: i guess about same amount is alo lost.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla wasn't that the reddit guru what's his name, fantomas or something doing a max keiser ?
asciilifeform: traditional belief seems to be that 'they lost their hdd'
the20year1: only 50% of all created bitcoins have moved
the20year1: I wish I lost my HD in 2010, instead I got hacked
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu i dont have any info on that
testingUnoDosTre: and what's the total US federal government ownership, 150k?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 185 @ 0.0029827 = 0.5518 BTC [+] {3}
mircea_popescu: testingUnoDosTre a little over that by now
asciilifeform: not counting der fuhrer's miners?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SFI] 35000 @ 0.001 = 35 BTC
testingUnoDosTre: that will probably go down as the most profitable asset ever seized by the US govt
asciilifeform: i'll break out some evil rumor right here now:
asciilifeform: there are tor exits silently pumping ascii through 'sed' or the like, slipping 'friendly' btc addrs in place of originals.
asciilifeform: not naming names.
asciilifeform: take it with a grain of whatever.
kakobrekla: yeah, well there was a desktop version of such malware which would replace the address once you put one valid in clipboard
asciilifeform: people using winblows and btc together should also smoke at petrol pumps
kakobrekla: i have tiny unencrypted wallet on my win laptop.
kakobrekla: i bet its the first to go in case of shit.
mircea_popescu: no they shouldn't.
mircea_popescu: you have any idea what a pump costs ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: point
mircea_popescu: let them buy their own propane canisters or w/e
mircea_popescu: and go camping
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: 'if (total < 1.0) exit(0)'
kakobrekla: its more than 1 and less than 10
kakobrekla: but yeah
the20year1: I wish i would have known the valnerabilities of the bitcoin client and XP when I first got interested in btc
kakobrekla: i know what you are saying
kakobrekla: but who will turn down the change
kakobrekla: in reality, noone
kakobrekla: except the change that is hard to get off
kakobrekla: because of tx fees
kakobrekla: [this happpend before]
asciilifeform: this is why i don't really have any ill-will for crapware artists. they should be seen as educators.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8134 @ 0.00090573 = 7.3672 BTC [-] {2}
testingUnoDosTre: you're saying its much more hard to keep btc safe on windows?
kakobrekla: windows is like open lobby
kakobrekla: if they are safe there, there is a good chance they are safe elsewhere :)
testingUnoDosTre: you lost my on open lobby, is that some xbox reference?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SFI] 1000 @ 0.001 = 1 BTC
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 119 @ 0.00298886 = 0.3557 BTC [+] {3}
testingUnoDosTre: couldn't I be just as damaging on linux while dealing btc as with windows?
kakobrekla: you? maybe. me? no.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SFI] 385 @ 0.001 = 0.385 BTC
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.353999 BTC [+]
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5700 @ 0.00090715 = 5.1708 BTC [+]
mod6: (19:17) < asciilifeform> people using winblows and btc together should also smoke at petrol pumps << lol
kakobrekla: you know
kakobrekla: smoking at petrol pump is not as dangerous as it sounds
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 22402 @ 0.00090743 = 20.3282 BTC [+] {4}
testingUnoDosTre: mircea, can you expound on your Marie Antoinette post
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13800 @ 0.00091001 = 12.5581 BTC [+] {3}
mircea_popescu: what's to expound
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you seen those "try and light this gasoline with this ciggarete" things ?
kakobrekla: well dunno what i saw, i just know its not really easy
kakobrekla: besides, theres no bangs coming from bosnia, serbia ...
kakobrekla: and they do have petrol stations there, i know that for a fact.
testingUnoDosTre: Well at first, it touches on social revolutions in a negative light.Then the article seems to talk about revolution of self towards the end
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HMF] 21 @ 0.02188996 = 0.4597 BTC [+]
Duffer1: i think the point was 'kill yourself because nothing you do matters'
Duffer1: at least, that's what i took from it
Duffer1: don't read too much into it man :P
kakobrekla: yeah, or you will end up smoking ciggs on petrol stations.
Duffer1: or wishing you were a lone young chick on a train...
testingUnoDosTre: we only have petrol-corn stations in the US now
kakobrekla: so you end up with a lot of popcorn if the thing goes bang?
the20year1: not all stations are gas-corn
testingUnoDosTre: you must not live in the Midwest?
the20year1: I do , i was assuming you were talking about e85 stations
testingUnoDosTre: No, I thought that everyone was slipping in under 10% lately
testingUnoDosTre: could definitely be wrong though
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla it;s true that gasoline as a liquid will not catch on fire
mircea_popescu: but happily extinguish your ciggarette, like water.
mircea_popescu: as a vapor however...
kakobrekla: but as vapor you need the right mixture
kakobrekla: also im not sure if a lit cigg will do for vapor
mircea_popescu: to explode. it will burn at pretty much any concentration
kakobrekla: i think you need open light
mircea_popescu: arguably some combos are not too visible
mircea_popescu: testingUnoDosTre it's a film. you seen it ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well... if panacea ever goes negative you can do some experiments :D
testingUnoDosTre: I thought the post was touching more on history than the movie. I did understand that it was a film, but no I have not seen it.
mircea_popescu: try it sometime. the missus will love you for it.
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu im sure there will be negative months, but i would dissolve way before negative nav
kakobrekla: so i think someone else will have to to the experiments
kakobrekla: perhaps write to alberto armandi
kakobrekla: and LEAVE MY ALBERTO ALONE
