Namworld: Movements? The heck.
mircea_popescu: what is coinsight
Namworld: What now? Mark specifying hackers stole private keys and wiped his servers?
mircea_popescu: lol
Namworld: A stats and tracking website.
mircea_popescu: kinda dubious in that it's based on gox.
Namworld: I believe this is based on past addresses used by MtGox, as per past transactions listed in their API
Namworld: API isn't there anymore, but some MtGox addresses where known.
mircea_popescu: Transactions are recorded automatically every 5 minutes from this page, which displays all Bitcoin transactions from Mt.Gox that have not been confirmed for 2 or more hours according to their wallet software.
mircea_popescu: link is to mtgox api
Namworld: Oh...
Namworld: looks like MtGox is still publishing that it's moving lotta Bitcoins...
Namworld: This must be an ode to stupidity.
mircea_popescu: it definitely is.
Namworld: Ok, I'm laughing now. This is too much.
chetty_: they left the fake transaction bots running?
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete you know, there are numerous religions longer lasting than the catholic church
Namworld: No... those transactions... some are in the blockchain it seems.
mircea_popescu: confucius, for one, was born way before christ.

bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: Sure, Judaism too… Maybe not as centralized as such, nor as auspiciously
mircea_popescu: judaism = christianity.

mircea_popescu: judaism -> orthodoxy -> catholicism -> islam, same thing
bitcoinpete: Lest we forget Mormonism
mircea_popescu: minor disagreements over who exactly the prophets are
mircea_popescu: i guess you can include the various protestant and neoprotestant sects in there.
mircea_popescu: generally they're ignored for their complete lack of intellectual production and cultural impact
bitcoinpete: Catholic Church still seems to win the "most successful" award for land, art, gold, etc
mircea_popescu: but if you go by headcount i guess you gotta count the muricans.
mircea_popescu: only because you're unfamiliar with the east.

bitcoinpete: And incredibly easy for the gluten intolerant
mircea_popescu: An application of micromorts is measuring the value that humans place on risk: for example, one can consider the amount of money one would have to pay a person to get him or her to accept a one-in-a-million chance of death (or conversely the amount that someone might be willing to pay to avoid a one-in-a-million chance of death). When put thus, people claim a high number but when inferred from their day-to-day actions
mircea_popescu: (e.g., how much they are willing to pay for safety features on cars) a typical value is around $50 (in 2009)
punkman: micromorts, heh
mircea_popescu: However utility functions are often not linear, i.e the more a person has already spent on their safety the less they are willing to spend to further increase their safety. Therefore the $50 valuation should not be taken to mean that a human life (1 million micromorts) is valued at $50,000,000.
mircea_popescu: [But much less.]
mircea_popescu: Furthermore the local linearity of any utility curve means that the micromort is useful for small incremental risks and rewards, not necessarily for large risks
mircea_popescu: [in the sense it overstates their cost]

asciilifeform: the man in the photo - did he pull the trigger and blow his cock ?
asciilifeform: he looks determined.
mircea_popescu: actually, you may get a kick out of reading his (obviously very valuable) instructions and teachings.
mircea_popescu: it was all about "projecting your sexuality" upon random unfortunate members of the general public

asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: also i thought 'witch' in english was female.
ThickAsThieves: lotsa russians in dota too
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nope. there's no gender in it.
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: also in WOT (the other wot! 'world of tanks')
dexX7: CheckDavid: i don't know much about ot, but it seems it's something completly new, more like a next gen bitmessage + encryption + central server bundle. mastercoin has it's own transaction types etc. and stores them encoded in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: people who speak languages with genders end up with fictitious gender partitions like witch/wizard because the teachers are lazy
ThickAsThieves: why so many russians in online games now?
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, there's no such allocation in english
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves because they can finally afford mass computers and net
mircea_popescu: in the 2000s it was a business expense for the girfrliendsa working the cams,
mircea_popescu: and by now on their sweat and toil it became generally available
CheckDavid: dexX7: oh. So that system is centralized unlike master coin
ThickAsThieves: porn, the mortar of technology
mircea_popescu: dexX7 what do you mean new ? the guy's been working at it since before my time
asciilifeform: porn, the reconnaissance battalion of technology.
ThickAsThieves: all the people that want decentralized shit like ot and mastercoin are too dumb to use it
dexX7: CheckDavid: as said, i'm not really sure how it works. there seem to be central processing servers. new in the sense of "not bitcoin, new underlying technology"
CheckDavid: I see
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty much

dexX7: i think so

thestringpuller: so if the database is ever compromised for any reason, it won't matter because it requires a specific gpg key to decrypt the rows
mircea_popescu: how is this different from you know, gpg as is ?
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: it is possible to search across encrypted data, for some purposes
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: you were probably thinking of that
thestringpuller: if you fill something like lets say postgres
thestringpuller: or mysql
thestringpuller: and you encrypted all the rows it would take 3-4 times longer for normal operation cause it has to decrypt everytime
thestringpuller: it's not built for it, has to call libcrypt or some bullshit
mircea_popescu: well yeah
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: perhaps if you stored gpg flatfile and indexed it, then gpg is the bottle neck and not the db trying to decrypt cells...

dexX7: ah well, right

Namworld: I'm about 175 BTC in debt and I'm richer than him still.
mircea_popescu: the zinger being, of course, "Aug 15 15:49:39 <parseval>This guy is charging 2% of assets annually plus 20% of profits for management fees"
mircea_popescu: that's some fund o.O
Namworld: Big fees.
dexX7: well, such a fee level is at least motivating the issuer to perform well
mircea_popescu: lolk
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 3 @ 0.095 = 0.285 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: normally i'd say "i wish to meet that elated 1% of bitcoin financiers which actually make 2% a year", but i think i already have.
mircea_popescu: anyway, parity didn't hold up long :

mircea_popescu: and with that the story ends.
mircea_popescu: -17% on assets, -22% on fees, half your money back in half a year.
Namworld: Considering the first thing I did was lend over 700 BTC to a GPU miner thinking it was just 7 grand and the current price per BTC, I'm not close of having positive earnings on average per year.
mircea_popescu: you still in the hole with giga/amazingrando huh
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
dexX7: labcoin was a more exciting way to lose money
Namworld: Although I definitly made some money afterward.
Namworld: Well i started with 900 BTC in early 2012. Lost most. Definitly don't have that much.
Namworld: I might be close to achieving that back tho.

mircea_popescu: well gl.
Namworld: It's been rough, especially with the 15 -> 1200 run in 2013. How is one supposed to beat 100x returns on just holding through investing?
peterl: invest in S.MPOE?
mircea_popescu: no because that's like scientology.

mircea_popescu: o hey, 32%.
peterl: psh, only 32% that is nowhere near 100x!
Namworld: Arij helped a lot too.
Namworld: We both missed a ton on the BTC rate increase.
mircea_popescu: peterl well technically, it's at least > 9000x zero
Namworld: It's 32% in BTC. So 1.32 x 100
peterl: right, this is btc accounting instead of Usagi accounting
Namworld: 132x value in fiat. It was better than holding BTC.
