decimation: my point: his job is exactly to find the one-off's and worry about their retention. What possible "systematic approach" exists, even in theory?
MisterE: that the order certifying the class?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kernel-in-rom never caught on because these fuckwits want to keep versioning everything all the time. gotta upgrade!!1
asciilifeform: upgrade all day - just turn the key.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well he's mastered them so...
asciilifeform: anyone else notice how you more or less can't buy antifuse roms any more?
asciilifeform: just flash that programmatically refuses (or promises to refuse) writing a second time
dignork: asciilifeform, there are OTP chips, you're saying they can be rewritten?
mircea_popescu: dude what's with all this derpage. avatrade ? future of crypto trading ? what the hell.
asciilifeform: dignork: i can't promise to re-write one on demand - but they're 'flash' inside.
asciilifeform: dignork: notice that the same part number typically comes in a UV window version.
asciilifeform: now go and try to buy a 1980s style antifuse ROM that actually burns
asciilifeform: i.e. fuses blow when you write it.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation the following systematic approach : "you will be born anyway, need to work anyway. why should you be paid ?"
gribble: The operation succeeded.

mircea_popescu: oh look, another blockchain crawler : https://coinb.in/
dignork: asciilifeform, I never actually looked into these chips, but wikipedia says empty PROM is filled with 1's, and you're irreversibly burning 0's
dignork: asciilifeform, so later you can burn some more 0'...
asciilifeform: now try to buy one.
mircea_popescu: dignork it'd be an extremely rare case where that actually works tho
asciilifeform: incidentally, this reminds me of a scheme i came up with for re-writing 'cd-r' disks, before the rewritable kind was available
asciilifeform: using 'gray code'. alert reader can probably figure out how it worked.
asciilifeform: how many 'brain cycles' we've all wasted on obsolete tech!
mircea_popescu: "I stumbled upon this brilliant piece of journalism written by one “Mircea Popescu”. The title of the article reads “Why Dogecoin is a scam…” and the contents are amusing."
mircea_popescu: at least we're using the brain cycles on things that actually exist.
mircea_popescu: how many brain cycles have various anon derps wasted on rehashing their imaginary worlds ?
asciilifeform: the folks who understand their worlds being imaginary, i've no problem with.
dignork: asciilifeform, well, I have this http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/2.4GHz-RF/nRF24LE1-OTP on hand, but I don't have equipment to actually look at the chip structure though :(
mircea_popescu: well the others you really can't have a problem with. because who'd you have a problem with ? they're not here.
mircea_popescu: o look at that, fico lost!
dignork: asciilifeform, it's a complex device containing OTP, so not a strict match
Apocalyptic: yeah mircea_popescu, i'm so happy
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic hm ?
Apocalyptic: fico is the last thing slovakia needs right now

tg2: It's there any traction to have the irs change their stance on btc?
tg2: They basically made it a paperwork disaster to actually tax it
chetty: get the IRS to change? you ARE joking?
ozbot: [IPVO] [Multiple Exchanges] Neo & Bee - LMB Holdings
mircea_popescu: so apparently lmb gifted itself a hefty 28% equity stake post-ipo ?
tg2: Well who votes on tax rates
tg2: Not the irs
tg2: Ergo they should be susceptible to change
chetty: no one votes on IRS rules
tg2: The irs only collects
MisterE: no they made powerful administrative rules too
tg2: Voted on by... ?
tg2: C ca
tg2: There should be an avenue to have those rules revised
chetty: rules and regulations ... no one votes
MisterE: they have an internal committee of bureaucrats probably
MisterE: might take public comment
Apocalyptic: this jimmothy guy is halirious
Apocalyptic: *hilarious
Apocalyptic: damn i need to sleep
mircea_popescu: so go sleep
mircea_popescu: it ain't going anywhere.
tg2: They have their irc code
tg2: Federal court ruling sits higher than agency interpretive regulations
nubbins`: jimmothy
nubbins`: pretty sure he's a paid shill for whoever has a buck
tg2: And IRS Revenue Rulings, which I would assume the btc guidance fell under
MisterE: yea but challenging those regulations is not possible for mere mortals
nubbins`: also, neobee: lel
MisterE: heh yea
tg2: one might assume that those remain attainable for somebody
tg2: If there was a landmark supreme court case
Apocalyptic: too bad TAT is mixed up in this
tg2: It feels like the irs just said "here's our stance" and left the door open to an overriding ruling from a larger authority

nubbins`: such lels
nubbins`: Apocalyptic: might as well read the whole day
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> so apparently lmb gifted itself a hefty 28% equity stake post-ipo /// To my knowledge LMB never gifted itself anything nor moved shares to Havelock
ThickAsThieves: there was a portion seperately allocated for employee program of some sort I think, not tradable
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well, here's the problem :
mircea_popescu: Public investors currently hold 5,042,638 LMB Holdings shares (31.5164875% of the profits), whilst LMB Subsidiaries Limited (UK) shall hold 10,957,362 shares 68.4835125% of the profits), for a total of 16,000,000 LMB Holdings virtual shares, which represent 100% of the global profits of the LMB Subsidiaries Limited (UK).
mircea_popescu: this is an update of the previous version, which read :
mircea_popescu: Public investors will hold 9,600,000 LMB Holdings shares (60% of the profits), whilst LMB Subsidiaries Limited (UK) shall hold 6,400,000 shares (40% of the profits), for a total of 16,000,000 LMB Holdings virtual shares, which represent 100% of the global profits of the LMB Subsidiaries Limited (UK).
ThickAsThieves: basically the unsold shares sat unsold afaik
mircea_popescu: the net effect of this change is for lmb to gift itself a significant portion of the equity.
ThickAsThieves: only the 31% wouldve been eligible for the initial divs
mircea_popescu: the figures seem to be 68.4x% and 40%.
nubbins`: but that's 28.x% for free

ThickAsThieves: all it has left, is its liquidity
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the liquidity problem of a crypto coin is problematic. i could present the following argument that atc actually has better liquidity :
mircea_popescu: the ratio between people willing to buy to support it and people needing to sell to pay for their mining is better.
MisterE: stamp testing 440 so not feeling too bad about it ;)
mircea_popescu: MisterE you already booked your loss no matter what other things happen around you.
MisterE: yep
ThickAsThieves: however, I also suspect LTC may be used for money laundering
mircea_popescu: see, i bought 60 coins for 1k dollars in 2011. all through 2012 this was ~1k dollars loss.
ThickAsThieves: which makes a market for it
mircea_popescu: however, i never realised it, and so i can book a gain on that buy now if i feel like it.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves what does that even mena ?
ThickAsThieves: well people selling btc for ltc trying to mix things

mircea_popescu: it is an old saw, as benkay points out. that particular link references earlier reports provided by herbi who actually run the pinksheets and found the highest stock increase in the history of stock increases fails to come within one degree of magnitude of bitcoin's.
mircea_popescu: so to sum up, the piece suffers from the same problem illustrated by the opening cartoon : a mostly banal piece with very poor references. surely people outside of the mises circle must have written about these matters, perhaps for years.

mircea_popescu: all in ohio.
nubbins`: regarding ops that went bad
the20year2: ~$500k of assets including bitcoin
the20year2: 6 properties, central Ohio , although i don't know if physical inspection would be absolutely needed when you could just get deed copies
mircea_popescu: AccountantPierre afaik it's not customary to do a ground inspection if torrens title is available neh ?
mircea_popescu: o wait, the us doesn't use torrens
the20year2: We file deeds at the county auditor
mircea_popescu is pretty well clueless as to real estate auditing procedures adequate for central ohio
AccountantPierre: depends on risk assessment at beginning of audit
the20year2: I'm not aware of any state that uses torrens, though canada I believe does
the20year2: What kind of risk assessment?
mircea_popescu: the20year2 well if the auditor suspects fraud or under some court mandates etc.
AccountantPierre: risk of material misstatement of the financials. $25k for a one man cpa shop.
mircea_popescu: AccountantPierre for my own repository of factoids, what's the insurance premium hike look like after a forfeit for material misstatement ?
AccountantPierre: Insurance for the CPA firm or for the audit client? Either way, no clue, never dealt with that kind of insurance
mircea_popescu: the insurane firm
the20year2: I wasn't aware they sold insurance to CPAs
mircea_popescu: uh, you're not insured ?!
the20year2: I'm not a CPA

the20year2: When we were looking for book audits for a TSX listing possibility they ran $15k/yr
the20year2: Of course $25k might not be terribly bad if you're sending a guy to Ohio to physically visit properties and review deed copies
benkay: kinda one of those things you expect a REIT to be able to afford.
BCB: novusordo, what ever happened to aethero, anyone know?
the20year2: Not for one with only 6 properties and less than $500k of properties, that's 5% a year in just audits
BCB: mircea_popescu, hire a certified CPA in ohio
the20year2: Would make alot more sense to just hire a 3rd party agent or title company to do the investigation, hire a title search on all the properties, will run you $75/ea
AccountantPierre: Yeah, hire a local guy, not a big 4 firm based out of nyc
benkay: doesn't really sound like a REIT at that scale. more like a hodgepodge.
the20year2: $150-$200 for lawyer review
mircea_popescu: BCB he tried to start some sort of business, listed it on btct if memory serves, and well... just like all the others.

nubbins`: eating 100g in a day? you might as well induce a coma

nubbins`: aka body language
dotcoin: so what is the case jurov
kakobrekla: the bourse thingy was german iirc
dotcoin: the case is you are friend of martin and he is not happy to get out of bourse right?
dotcoin: what he told you this man
jurov: martin is irrelevant here
jurov: you raised hunders of BTC
jurov: and they are not heard of since

mircea_popescu: nubbins` wouldn't have had any impact in the matter that sunk it

pankkake: huge aluminum stuff - but they tell you to have case fans though
asciilifeform: pankkake: show a 100% passive cooled machine that isn't a toy
nubbins`: mircea_popescu well pretty hard to buy off judges if the judges don't get paid any extra for taking the case
pankkake: I guess you can do it if you underclock
mircea_popescu: nubbins` ...
nubbins`: unless i'm missing something
pankkake: I solved the fan issue by putting the machines in another room than the one I'm in
asciilifeform: pankkake: i'm about to rent a whole building instead of flat, partly so i can do just this
mircea_popescu: well you are. inasmuch the defendant passively receives X btc and is then required to return X+e, the entire thing is an extraction engine
pankkake: though the real annoyance always was the noise of hard drives
asciilifeform: but fans still suck in dirt, fail without warning, etc
pankkake: yeah, my GPU fan died, and those aren't easy to replace :(
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the correct solution to the fan problem is to use fanned tubes
nubbins`: what's "e", effort?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: magneto-hydrodynamic coolant pump ? one sees them in patents often, but for some reason never in pc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know.

mircea_popescu: you gotta make up your mind nubbins`
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ordinary 'heat pipe' works great, so long as you have a massive sink on the other side. heat pipe can be thought of as a refrigerator without a compressor.
nubbins`: i left out fees for brevity in my example
nubbins`: consider it suitably modified.
mircea_popescu: so then mpex has to pay the fees if it loses ?
mircea_popescu: and it can lose without doing anything ?
nubbins`: it couldn't lose if it declined to participate
nubbins`: how else would you deal with a case you deemed frivolous?
nubbins`: throw 10btc at it and hope ya get it back?!
Duffer1: what's the incentive to defend yourself ever?
nubbins`: THERE ISN'T ONE
mircea_popescu: then problem solved ?
Duffer1: hehe
nubbins`: well, if you look at it that way, the rota was a solution in search of a problem
mircea_popescu: it may be said.
nubbins`: suppose i call chetty a poopyhead and it turns out this damaged her reputation so badly that she lost a 100btc contract. she decides to sue me via rota, i decline.
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you, i'm not mafalda. i figure things out as i go
nubbins`: now what? nothing
mircea_popescu: nubbins` now you're a poopyhead
nubbins`: joke's on you, that doesn't damage my reputation
mircea_popescu: well not like it has to.
mircea_popescu: whats this, taloncoin ?
nubbins`: i can't keep up with them, you tell me :D
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8916 @ 0.0009492 = 8.4631 BTC [+]
nubbins`: anyway.
mircea_popescu: im very surprised nobody made bitround yet
nubbins`: maybe the defendant doesn't have to pay a fee because we're not paying the judges per-case anymore
mircea_popescu: everyone with their head in a box, X-coin Y-coin blergh
nubbins`: bitbar
mircea_popescu: not paying the judges per case has a host of problems
nubbins`: toss a couple at me
mircea_popescu: such as judges no longer actually wish to judge. it becomes morel ike jury duty
nubbins`: workload would be the obvious one
nubbins`: but hey, USA has a thousand magistrate judges for a reason
nubbins`: say a judge has to take 30 cases a year or w/e for his 30btc
nubbins`: he knows the workload involved when he signs up. once all judges are booked up, you have a backlog.
joecool: i had a case some years back that was delayed nearly 2 years because the judge assigned was waiting for his retirement request to finalize
nubbins`: exactly so
MisterE: mornin
nubbins`: anyway, you're arguing that salary doesn't work because pay-by-the-hour makes it seem like less of a chore
mircea_popescu: nubbins` and how do you pay the 30 btc ?
mircea_popescu: and im merely arguing that since every top job out there pays a salary + bonuses, that model is unavoidable.
nubbins`: well, how were you planning to pay the 30btc?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16802 @ 0.0009498 = 15.9585 BTC [+] {2}
nubbins`: unavoidable pff, bitcoin is here to replace &c &c.
nubbins`: receiving btc IS a bonus.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3380 @ 0.00095028 = 3.2119 BTC [+]
nubbins`: anyway, unless that 30btc was supposed to come from the leftover 1btc of the losing party's money (30 cases per judge per year!), i can only imagine that you were privately funding the judges' salaries
mircea_popescu: and if you recall, the 10 btc - 3x3 = 1 leftover.
mircea_popescu: 30 cases a year pay for the 30.
mircea_popescu: i was privately underwriting the risk that judges may not get 30 cases/year
mircea_popescu: that fat tail ended up costing a pretty penny, but hey.
nubbins`: so the plaintiff's 10btc fee is refundable to 9btc if he wins.
nubbins`: all the more reason to avoid frivolous claims, no?
nubbins`: if you buy a can of coke here, you pay eight cents recycling deposit. you bring the empty can back, you get five cents.
nubbins`: i can almost hear the gears turning from here... although it could just be the cat snoring ;(
mircea_popescu: nubbins` no dood. 2parties contribute 10 btc each. the winner gets his 10 btc back
mircea_popescu: the loser's goes to judges and 1 btc left over.
nubbins`: yeah, that didn't work tho
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5737 @ 0.00094708 = 5.4334 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: sure. but the problem was hardly the incentive structure.
nubbins`: so you remove the defendant's fee, which solves the problem you identified where mpex gets bled dry, and you make 1btc of the plaintiff's fee non-refundable, which solves the payroll problem
mircea_popescu: dude wtf.
mircea_popescu: plaintif wins. gets 10 btc back. who pays the judges ?
nubbins`: plaintiff wins, gets 9btc back.
mircea_popescu: lol. plaintiff never wins ?
nubbins`: you want the rota to solve your problems for you, it costs you 1btc.
mircea_popescu: and who pays the judges ?
mircea_popescu: do they make 3 btc if defendant wins, and 0 if plaintiff wins ?
nubbins`: they don't make shit until their contract is up
mircea_popescu: that'll never work.
nubbins`: sure it will.
nubbins`: if defendant wins, he gets the 9btc.
nubbins`: the 1btc -- and nothing more -- always goes to the judge fund
MisterE: who picks judges and where they come from?
mircea_popescu: MisterE was a self-nomination thing, originally. see the article
MisterE: sorry I came in late in the chat
nubbins`: if some asshole sends 100btc to mpex for no reason and wants to rota it, he pays 10btc, you pay 0btc.
nubbins`: 1btc immediately goes to judges fund
nubbins`: asshole wins: he gets 9btc refund. you win: you get 9btc payout.
nubbins`: now tell me if people would be bringing frivolous claims to a court set up like that.
nubbins`: tell me if people wouldn't be encouraged to solve their own problems rather than whining to btc dad
mircea_popescu: i think perhaps you may be optimising for a differen tproblem.
nubbins`: solving all of them at once, really
MisterE: bitcointalk is there the whiners are
nubbins`: i don't think there are any problems left ;D
mircea_popescu: cool. im off to bed.
nubbins`: nitey
nubbins`: rota was a fine idea but just incorrectly structured from the start. it'd probably still be going if it was set up the way i've outlined ;D
MisterE: thanks
nubbins`: having the defendant pay 10btc creates a strong disincentive to participate
nubbins`: at least if there's no fee to register a defence, he's got nothing to lose by participating
MisterE: fees are always the plantiff's burden
nubbins`: as it should be
MisterE: frivolous suits are weeded out that way
nubbins`: you got it
MisterE: wel many are
the20year1: As far as user trust goes, what's more important btc-otc or bitcointalk?
MisterE: I habent read yet but this is BTC arbitration?
MisterE: the20year1: same
MisterE: we;l not same but very similar
nubbins`: the20year1: if you ask people on irc, -otc. if you ask people on the forums, the forums.
MisterE: users here are the top of the pyramid
the20year1: i'm sure the best answer is 'get both' , but i'm coming to realize that trust is good, it might save me some cash over the next 2 months
nubbins`: both is nice to have
MisterE: trust can save you *a lot*
nubbins`: forum people don't give a fuck about otc ratings, and vice versa
MisterE: if you have to shoose get rated by people here
nubbins`: it depends on who you plan on doing business with
MisterE: right
the20year1: Lucky for me, the bulk of my investors aren't on either, however it'd be good going forward to have good ratings on both
MisterE: can I borrow something so I can pay it back and get rated?
MisterE: get them on wot ASAP
kakobrekla: but that requires reading stuff.
the20year1: Well, in my case i've been 'loaned' something like 800btc
kakobrekla: re borrowing, yeah bitcoinpete just did that a day or three ago iirc
the20year1: and out of that, among the 450ish users, some should be on irc & btct
nubbins`: i don't think borrowing and repaying is a particularly good way of building trust.
kakobrekla: never said that .
nubbins`: no, MisterE hinted at it tho
MisterE: I just want to get my rating off the ground
MisterE: kakobrekla: yea thats where I got the idea
nubbins`: so do something that'll make people trust you :P
MisterE: heh
nubbins`: "i got a loan and paid it back" is just another way of saying "i'm not going to pay back the first loan that's big enough"
kakobrekla: suck a dick without biting it off
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10700 @ 0.00094708 = 10.1338 BTC [-]
the20year1: pretty much
MisterE: lolol
the20year1: Did you know there are 3 grades of ketchup?
MisterE: not surprised
MisterE: easy to make
kakobrekla: tomatoes *SPLASH* ketchup
MisterE: I make my own bbq / ketchup / marinara
MisterE: heh nearly
MisterE: vinegar
nubbins`: garlic
nubbins`: i've got pasta sauce from scratch figured out
nubbins`: haven't tried ketchup from scratch yet ;D
the20year1: standard, extra standard and fancy
nubbins`: i wonder which one heinz is
nubbins`: ketchup and plastic film are two products where i always spend extra to get the name-brand stuff
bounce: you know, there's a long history of (non-bitcoin) courts and such, and also a long history of abuse in various forms. question then is why and when doesn't such a system get abused (or at least not too much, and then what is this not too much you speak of)?
kakobrekla: lolwtf
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12702 @ 0.00094716 = 12.0308 BTC [+] {2}
kakobrekla: ona day he has all btc, the next none, the third some, the fourth all again, but on the fifth it seems all is gone.
nubbins`: bounce: generally historic courts did not impose a 10btc fee on the plaintiffs, only 9btc of which will be returned in the event of a win.
nubbins`: seems impossibly foolhardy in retrospect, but they were simpler times
the20year1: There have been courts historically who charge the plaintiff large fees to file a case
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14150 @ 0.00095082 = 13.4541 BTC [+] {3}
MisterE: in thailand your fee is a percentage of the damages you seek
MisterE: and that can get hefty
MisterE: rather like the concept tho
MisterE: some future costs can be paid from that fee though iirc
nubbins`: interesting
nubbins`: anyway, one more link then bed

bitcoinpete: kakobrekla: thanks for the rating! was wondering if you know what to do about some other guy who rated me -1 with comment "Nick squatter using this nick to scam you. Ask in channel to have this scammer authenticate." http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=bitcoinpete&sign=ANY&type=RECV
bitcoinpete: seems this guy is a nicksquatter patrolman of sorts
mike_c: did you email him?
bitcoinpete: not yet, but you're right, that's the first thing to do
novusordo: sounds like someone's using your nick to scam others while unauthenticated
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 17100 @ 0.0009541 = 16.3151 BTC [+]
bitcoinpete: i thought people knew better than to work with unauthenticated people
novusordo: only complete noobs don't
bitcoinpete: this Michail1 must be protector and defender of noobs then
novusordo: you can message nickserv "set enforce on" to automatically kick people off your username after 30 seconds if they haven't authed
