Apocalyptic: the maximum potential blockchain growth rate is well known

benkay: we're talking about the mem pool, though, right?
benkay: txns in flight is the topic, though, correct?
Apocalyptic: <benkay> we're talking about the mem pool, though, right? // you can choose not to query peers for tx data
Apocalyptic: and only get blocks I think
benkay: so do that
benkay: memory where for whom in what part of the process
benkay: when do they need that? when validating a new block?
Apocalyptic: he knows that
Apocalyptic: but full nodes don't need mempool data for validating blocks
benkay: so take a counterparty transaction
benkay: has it been confirmed yet?
benkay: let's tell a little story and try to work through this
benkay: start with a counterparty txn. is this thing in flight or has it confirmed?
dexX7: 1. metacoins and the utxo set: http://i.imgur.com/c9mpd8h.png, 2. what is way more "avoidable" than multisigs is the creation of multiple unspent outputs "to have free outputs ready" (@ xcp) x_x
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: oh boo another glbse investor
benkay: he's underwriting, thestringpuller
thestringpuller: exchanges will always be centralized things, there can be multiple exchanges
benkay: thestringpuller: ping ping ping ping ping
thestringpuller: but each excahnge is centralized as you will always trust the issuer
dexX7: benkay: think of "let's create new transaction types and coins, encode the transaction information and store it on the blockchain as pubkeys in multisig transaction outputs"
thestringpuller: you will always have to trust the issuer*
Apocalyptic: oh "decentralized exchange" idea again ?
Apocalyptic grabs some popcorn
thestringpuller: i feel a decentralized exchange would be littered with scams
thestringpuller: so you want an exchange for scams?
benkay: hang on this topic is stupid and boring and you're all stupid and boring for engaging in it
fluffypony: that's actually quite clever
thestringpuller: s.dice was teh closest thing to a scam no mpex...
thestringpuller: every other play exchange has had multiple scams...
benkay: i want to know more about these memory requirements imposed by mastercoin
thestringpuller: like the ratio of scam to actual businesses was too damn high
benkay: counterparty whatever pedant
benkay: i lose track of all the colored coin implementations
kanzure: to be even more pedantic, counterparty isn't a colored coin implementation
kanzure: (don't kill me)
benkay: so you can't possibly be telling me that a full node needs to hold the whole bc in memory to do its job
benkay: is that so?
benkay: <-- does not run nodes
dexX7: the complaint was the amount of unspent outputs/utxo bloat created by those transactions - the argument fails because those unspent outputs are actually spendable and spent frequently
kanzure: the counterparty reference implementation requires a full bitcoin node with -txindex enabled
kanzure: so often this means reindexing the blockchain for nodes that haven't been using -txindex
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11111 @ 0.00096168 = 10.6852 BTC [+]
kanzure: uh i wonder if -txindex is the right parameter. hrm. it's the one about indexing.
kanzure: anywho then the counterparty server sends getrawtransaction messages over rpc to the bitcoin node for every transaction since the burn period began
dexX7: you don't need to hold everything in memory, but there is a database with all unspent outputs. more outputs = delayed lookup

keonne: how do you have all these on hand nubbins`
benkay: such science
nubbins`: i don't
nubbins`: i just googled "android is for poor people"
keonne: lol
keonne: this is why you get all the pussy and btc
keonne: and im a simple wage slave
nubbins`: not really
nubbins`: smartphones are for fucking losers in general
keonne: asciilifeform: what was the name of that soviet cartoon you mentioned earlier
nubbins`: REAL MEN CHECK THEIR TELEPHONES SEVERAL TIMES AN HOUR
truffles: nubbins` what do u use?
nubbins`: IPHONE
nubbins`: i mean, iphone
nubbins`: heh
keonne: iPhone
truffles: oh ok
truffles: im surprised cuz i read they dont withstand cold temps
fluffypony: nubbins`: want a wooden case for it? we have a bunch as gifts, but most of our customers are Android users, and the guy that makes them doesn't make Android cases
nubbins`: shrug. i keep my phone in my pocket, not my mailbox
nubbins`: fluffypony, i don't use cases, but tyvm
fluffypony: np
keonne: cases are for poor people according to nubbins`
fluffypony: lol
nubbins`: now you're putting words in my mouth
nubbins`: cases are for clumsy people
keonne: guilty
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [7C] 20 @ 0.00759849 = 0.152 BTC [+] {2}
keonne: but i also did make up a life story for you
nubbins`: if you drop your $500 phone so often that you need to put it in a case, maybe you shouldn't have one
truffles: im pretty rough i need a case
keonne: my phone was $200
jurov: orly? mahogany smartphone box?
nubbins`: consider the statement suitably modified
keonne: still stands
truffles: 200 sounds so modest dam!
nubbins`: keonne: but was it subsidized?
keonne: nexus 5
keonne: no
nubbins` claps
keonne: unlocked off contract
keonne: no, subsidized phones are for poor people
keonne: and for people who will probably be perpetually poor

fluffypony: those are the cases we have
fluffypony: wood is pretty
nubbins`: it is indeed
keonne: thats nice fluffypony
nubbins`: engraving kinda ruins it
truffles: ppl actually back things up with scientific data itc? pfff
fluffypony: nubbins`: hush
fluffypony: :-P
nubbins`: might as well put a coca-cola logo on there
nubbins`: truffles: who said anything about scientific? napkin scribbles would do
truffles: might as well not
truffles: imo
nubbins`: suppose you save $500 by getting a subsidy. at the end of your two-year contract, you own your phone
truffles: that baseball case looks cute
keonne: well lets see, $500 phone you get for $250 because you sign a 2 year contract paying ~60-80 a month.
nubbins`: or you spend the extra $500, and two years later, you own your phone
nubbins`: what's the difference?
keonne: the difference is poor people shouldnt eb buying 500 dollar phones
truffles: yep
nubbins`: well, that certainly answers a different question
nubbins`: how about the one i asked :D
truffles: im gonna aim for that 200 next phone!
keonne: sorry i keep going in and out of cell signal
nubbins`: shoulda bought an iphone i guess
keonne: or not be on a train going into tunnels
nubbins`: sure
nubbins`: either way.
nubbins`: explain to me how buying the phone outright is a better deal in the long run
keonne: depends on the price of the phone
nubbins`: let's say a new iphone
jurov: nubbins`: depends on if you're poor :DDDDD
nubbins`: $700 straight-up or $200 on a two-year contract
keonne: how much are those?
keonne: ah ok
keonne: thats insane..... first of all
daybyter: got my new smartphone today.
keonne: how much is the contract per month?
daybyter: pomp w88 Euro 105,- plus shipping.
TomServo: nubbins`: I think it depends on how much you value being able to switch carriers on a whim.
nubbins`: TomServo: $0
keonne: i mean i havent had a contract in 3 years
nubbins`: keonne: well, that depends heavily on how good you are at bargaining
keonne: and i have unlimited 4g data in both the US and Europe
TomServo: nubbins`: I'm just saying, that is what makes it a "better deal" to some people.
nubbins`: which (sorry to ruin the surprise) was the crux of my argument
keonne: for £15 pay as you go a month
nubbins`: canada is relatively expensive for cell service
nubbins`: i pay, i think, $50/mo
keonne: its all highly situational
nubbins`: yep
keonne: i remmeber not even being able to get a sim card in canada
keonne: without a canadian ID
nubbins`: all different now, LTE nationwide
nubbins`: ah, without an id
nubbins`: not sure about that
keonne: in UK i go to the corner shop
keonne: and i can buyt as many sim cards as I want for£1 each
nubbins`: neat
nubbins`: TomServo: fair enough, but worth an extra $500?
daybyter: any android coders here, who also do java?
nubbins`: ostensibly you're changing providers to get a better rate
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [7C] 20 @ 0.007696 = 0.1539 BTC [+] {2}
nubbins`: to make it worth $500, you'd need to save ~$21/mo by switching providers
nubbins`: it could be argued that you just picked the wrong provider to start with
keonne: daybyter: not being snarky but dont all android devs have to know java? i thought that was part of the deal.
fluffypony: keonne: I was about to say the same thing
daybyter: I mean android and desktop-java.
fluffypony: say/ask
fluffypony: ah ok
daybyter: I have a lib that should run on desktop and android.
daybyter: no I wonder how to compile it best.
daybyter: add android.jar to the required libs?
daybyter: use conditional compiling?

daybyter: I used antenna back in the days of j2me projects.

fluffypony: goonsamchi: there are starving people in Africa that would disagree
mircea_popescu: this is nothing less than the point of existence : for you to drive lesser versions out of existence, or for them to drive oyu.
goonsamchi: lol. my not eating would not affect the people in africa
mircea_popescu: how convenient #2.
benkay: mircea_popescu: the teachers'd need to be worth attending to.
mircea_popescu: benkay sure.
mircea_popescu: benkay im sure all of goethe's teachers were all supercool and worthy dudes.
mircea_popescu: not according to him, but what the fuck does he know.
chetty: you would listen to a 'teacher' that wasn't worth it?
mircea_popescu: problem is how the fuck would you distinguish.
mircea_popescu: idiots on the forum also think they know better. the reason they think so is because they don't know what they don't know
mircea_popescu: and on the basis of what they know, aka 0, they're right.
chetty: the best ones are the scariest!
fluffypony: but you can't even quantify "stuff you don't know"
truff1es: goonsamchi u make good points, id like to read more ur views on this
mircea_popescu: exactly.
chetty: if it hurts, you are learning something
truff1es: just wait til the sillyness washes away
thestringpuller: chetty if you start doing things right and realize you were once wrong you are also learning things :)
chetty: thestringpuller, and that hurts too
thestringpuller: most people seem to do things wrong, get told so, ignor as MP points out, then they run head first into concrete and complain about how they have brain damage
truff1es: told by whom?
fluffypony: although making mistakes *and learning from them* should be encouraged, no?
thestringpuller: you shouldn't make mistakes with other peoples money
thestringpuller: fucking use testnet
fluffypony: oh I agree with that
fluffypony: I was talking in generalisations
thestringpuller: no experimenting wiht production services, fucking get managers and shit. perhaps it's about time for another tally of the BTC losses due to scams and icompetence
chetty: fluffypony, that is I think, the definition of learning
mircea_popescu: fluffypony making mistakes should be encouraged in a narrow field : that where we don't know what the mistakes are. in the fields where we already know, they should not be.
chetty: bitcoins don't get lost (mostly) just transfered
mircea_popescu: such as, putting your hand in the flame may in principle do all sorts of cool things, like charge your phone battery
fluffypony: lol
mircea_popescu: but it won't. so don't learn from fucking experience.
fluffypony: yeah I use the "stove is hot" analogy often
fluffypony: but you end up with a burnt hand afterwards
truff1es: if u were tough enough it wouldnt matter!
mircea_popescu: <truff1es> just wait til the sillyness washes away << funny how on the spot this guy is. since forever the strategy of the mentally defective has been, just wait until the cool people get exhausted, and try to rebuild socialism then!
truff1es: says the person who wants to beat people to submission
mircea_popescu: the epic resilience of stupidity.

bounce: compared to the conspiring, deceit, backstabbing, betrayal, "white" lieing, bald faced lieing, and all that, happening among the most cultured of any population, traditionally the aristocrats and like court dwellers, that's outright friendly and truthful.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'm talking specifically about South Africa - our murder rate is mentioned in the article, ~30 per 100k vs Honduras at ~90 per 100k
mircea_popescu: bounce aristocrats and courtiers don't map.
fluffypony: s/30/31
mircea_popescu: it's like saying smart people and web developers.

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: significantly lower
mircea_popescu: well then okay.
twizt: lol
mircea_popescu: i had bought the same arguments, omg sa is terrible.
fluffypony: we're a small part of the population (relatively), and a lot of the murders are gang related
fluffypony: for eg. Cape Town now has a higher murder rate than Johannesburg
fluffypony: but something ridiculous like 80% of the murders occur in Lavender Hill
fluffypony: which is gang warfare territory in the Cape Flats
fluffypony: that even policeman don't go into
fluffypony: much less white people
mircea_popescu: aha
bounce: not true. any high concentration of power without proper management tends to bring lots of little kingdoms, warring each other. I'm told the pettiest squabbles can be found in academia.
mircea_popescu: bounce wait, what specifically isn't true ?
fluffypony: bounce: are we still talking about murder rates?
bounce: well, what did you mean with "don't map"?
mircea_popescu: lots of little kingdoms don't necessarily war each other, and moreover the wars of little kingdoms are not at all like the wars of national-socialist statal machines,
mircea_popescu: the sort that opposed the french and the germans, or the germans and the russians, or the french and the russians
mircea_popescu: bounce i meant aristocrats and courtiers are two mostly distinct things.
mircea_popescu: in general one can't be both. whenever aristocrats were forced to be courtiers historically, they lost their aristocracy, and the state collapsed
mircea_popescu: (seen both in china and in france, quite identical)
bounce: both are at the top of the societal pile, if in slightly different senses.
mircea_popescu: this does not make much of a similarity.
mircea_popescu: the top of a cake and the top of an oil tank aren't similar on grounds of topness.
bounce: but the cake is a lie.
bounce: anyhow, I'll gladly concede this since my interest is in a different point.

mircea_popescu: bounce inline asm is not easy in c ?
mircea_popescu: you can just put it in a pointer and... execute it.
fluffypony: dat asm
bounce: the tp compiler does its thing much quicker than the tc compiler
bounce: and can relatively simply be put on a 360k floppy; just drop the bgi stuff from the std lib collection. compiler, stdlib, 3rd party editor. off you go. that just doesn't work so well with C.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you want the compiler to asm for you, vs. having to drop in a hex string and function ptr to it, compiler has to understand inline asm.

benkay: ;;later tell princessnell http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-04-2014&bots=true#614499
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: 1. it was created by jeb mccaleb, the douche that recently fucked up kraken, and some other derps, on a shoestring.
dignork: mircea_popescu, but nobody knows really, have they ever published any reports?
mircea_popescu: it went nowhere so 2. karpeles took it over, with aid from some angel investors.
akstunt600: what did you expect they were a magic the gathering trading site
mircea_popescu: he proceeded to buy some failed polish exchange, which was over its history a loss,
akstunt600: well not officialy but i dont believeit
mircea_popescu: and then 3. got raped by jeb mccaleb (the "auditor") taking btc to 1 cent.
mircea_popescu: then they ran at a loss for all of 2012, piling more and more angel round money into a hole.
fluffypony: eish
akstunt600: yeah such sad shit
mircea_popescu: then just as 2013 brought increased prices and revenues, they lost 5mn dollars to the us fed, because karpeles is retarded and doesn't understand when to say no.
akstunt600: at least they didnt try to sell goxshares
fluffypony: hah
akstunt600: like cryptorush fiasco
mircea_popescu: all through this they were trying to daytrade, and doing it as well as bitcoinica
fluffypony: or IPO it
mircea_popescu: (horribly badly)
akstunt600: but thats small potatoes
akstunt600: omg IPO would have been epic
fluffypony: akstunt600: I know
fluffypony: in fact
mircea_popescu: this is something you can maybe carry on for a while, but if you're trying to it's a damned good idea not to annoy me as a side dish.
fluffypony: they should have done it as a coin
jurov: akstunt600: they will inevitably try it as "Gox"
fluffypony: GoxCoin IPO
akstunt600: Oh yeah that
mircea_popescu: and so this brings us to the spring of 2013, ever increasing pressures and eventually their collapse.
akstunt600: gox builder
akstunt600: lol
mircea_popescu: they never actually had a lump of money they didn't owe someone.
jurov: i want to see a bank that'll dare to manage New Gox's acct
akstunt600: hahahha i dont even want to see that attempted
mircea_popescu: dignork yes.

akstunt600: mircea_popescu, that makes perfect sense to me
akstunt600: I never touched them
dignork: mircea_popescu if i read the history correctly, their report was published once, and long time ago

dignork: well, for 1btc I'd buy it just for lulz
akstunt600: hahhah jurov
mircea_popescu: dignork you familiar with court supervised acquisitions ?

dignork: mircea_popescu, yes, not too deeply though. But I'd buy it only as "dignork", pgp key 8334BB7B5BDFA126
samson_: I can't get over the fact that 'Chicago-based SilkRoad Equity' are involved in this...
mircea_popescu: bounce you need to either pay upfront more than the judge evaluates the assets could conceivably fetch, or else execute a credible plan to deliver. and since this is examined by jurists rather than business people (and let alone forum fucktards) the estimates tend to be quite conservative.
akstunt600: samson_, I know right
fluffypony: samson_: I thought you were joking
samson_: no joke
mircea_popescu: there's a reason why noobs never succeed with these.
akstunt600: I dug that up to a while a go and was liek WTF
fluffypony: I know
bounce: oh to start a company and requiring all titles to have "derp" in them somewhere.
fluffypony: Chief Derper
fluffypony: or Herpiest Derper
bounce: conservative as in generous?
cazalla: not surprising to see someone like Brock Pierce involved given his history with RMT, he's the 2nd person I've come across in bitcoin that I knew of before Bitcoin, first being voorhees from wickedfire heh
mircea_popescu: no, conservative as in "where did you go to school ?" and other anathema mp-esque questions the child actors of this world abhor.
dignork: bounce, not for the buyer
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: do they use a jury for financial stuff as well??? geeze...:/
mircea_popescu: fluffypony no, but that makes it worse.
bounce: "higher than a bargaining businessman would-be buyer would bid", then.
fluffypony: oh
fluffypony: I misread your sentence

fluffypony: too much wine and it's 12:30am

minersdidit: bitcoin follows quantity theory of money which is flawed.
minersdidit: it will always have insane volatility. miners create 3600 coins even under falling demand
minersdidit: or when value rises theres no mechanism to supply the market
minersdidit: so you get insane ups and downs
minersdidit: impossible to use as settlement
minersdidit: youll have persistent periods of hyper deflation and hyper inflation like now
minersdidit: makes it useless
minersdidit: yea you arent very bright. the economics are flawed you have insane costs
minersdidit: its not about price stability that is absurd as well
minersdidit: you have no mechanisms that respond to market demands for money
minersdidit: whats a trading post got to do with anything lol
minersdidit: money has to be elastic it cant be static ie linear
Duffer1: i don't see how you can say that when nothing like bitcoin has existed before
minersdidit: sure it has
minersdidit: 100% gold standard did the exact same thing
Duffer1: instant, secure, worldwide, private value transmission does not = gold
minersdidit: danielpbarron: because economies are fractals they arent linear
minersdidit: im not argueing the superior technicalities
minersdidit: im argueing the flawed economics behind the coin creation
minersdidit: ie the supply
mike_c: what money are you talking about? m1?
minersdidit: when the market demands for money increase bitcoin has no mechanism to supply it and vice versa
Duffer1: you mean you're ignoring the technical superiority in favor of your baseless assertions
minersdidit: its based on quantity theory
minersdidit: my assertions are baseless look at the price goes from 80 to 1200 back down
minersdidit: that will always occur
minersdidit: making it impossible to use as settlement.
Duffer1: "that will always occur because.. gold"?
minersdidit: danielpbarron of course they are true. we can observe it occuring
minersdidit: miners create coins regardless of market needs for them, this increases volatility when they drain the liquidity pools
minersdidit: no there arent.
minersdidit: hence the insane volatility
mircea_popescu: minersdidit who are you exactly ?
minersdidit: a troll
mircea_popescu: a ok. carry on.
Duffer1: anyways have you guys heard the great news?
minersdidit: danielpbarron um when did i bring up central banking or fiat?
Duffer1: for only 11,200 btc you can be the proud owners of 40% of YET ANOTHER havelol startup
minersdidit: and when did i say stable prices are optimal?
ozbot: [HAVELOCK] AlcheMiner Scrypt ASIC IPO Friday April 11
minersdidit: typical bitcoin shill. instantly brings up the fiat strawman that was never discussed in the first place
minersdidit: learn to read i am making sense
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6550 @ 0.00096211 = 6.3018 BTC [+] {2}
minersdidit: when the market needs bitcoin theres no mechanism to supply them other then the set in stone linear 3600 coins, this brings insane price volatility to the upside
minersdidit: when that wanes out, you get insane volatility to the downside as the algo keeps supplying useless coins
minersdidit: no for bitcoin to work you need some decentralized system that works on the real bills doctrine
minersdidit: thats the only way the gold standard functioned
Duffer1: minersdiditwhen the market needs bitcoin theres no mechanism to supply them >>> you work for money, that's the mechanism
minersdidit: when that mechanism was removed it collapsed
Duffer1: why would it issue more than you work for?
minersdidit: duffer1 um no you dont work for bitcoins when the volatility is so insane you cant measure what your work is even worth.
Duffer1: simply because the market wants it to?
minersdidit: a money supply expands and contracts ie ELASTIC
TestingUnoDosTre: there are so many fucking bitcoins dropping
minersdidit: like an economy
Duffer1: your work is worth x btc
minersdidit: lol dude you cant even tell me what your work was worth an hour ago
minersdidit: the price moved what 20%?
benkay: i;ll price my work quite happily in btc
benkay: .5/hr
Duffer1: it's worth x btc, what people choose to price that in fiat is a separate matter
minersdidit: and im not talking about fiat price
minersdidit: you can "price" bitcoin in anything since its a ratio
minersdidit: you cant value your work when the meter stick you are using is a rubber band
minersdidit: to measure with
minersdidit: yea you would lol
benkay: the other side is that i know the fraction of the monetary reserve my work is worth
mike_c: curious, where would you have "stabilized" the price? $1? $10?
benkay: i find that rather satisfying.
minersdidit: i wouldnt stabalize the price. i just told you, you need something like decentralized discount bills that settle in BTC
minersdidit: thats beyond your primitive understanding to even bother explaining
mike_c: try speaking english, that will help.
minersdidit: its not about PRICE satbility. its about mechanisms that respond to market needs hence reducing volatility
Duffer1: minersdiditand im not talking about fiat price >> yes you are, your btc work will always be worth x btc, the only volatility is fiat market pricing of that work
minersdidit: price stability is NOT wanted in any economy
minersdidit: prices need to move around
benkay: <minersdidit> thats beyond your primitive understanding to even bother explaining << tiberius move, iirc
minersdidit: bitcoin cant work alone its already been tried with 100% gold
mike_c: actually 5% gold 95% tungsten
benkay: claim, claim, claim, wait for sucker to bite, argue, say 'you're too stupid for me to possibly explain this'
Duffer1: hehe
benkay: government will always dilute the currency, given the opportunity.
minersdidit: i dont have to claim anything the evidence is all around you
minersdidit: look at insane volatility
benkay: luckily it doesn't matter
benkay: i can wait 10 years
benkay: if it's still blow stamps for kiddies at that point, no big.
minersdidit: @ $1200 a btc miners were being subsidized to the tune of 5million dollars to secure 80k transactions
benkay: i have resource streams.
minersdidit: that 5million was coming out of users
mike_c: my bitcoin is still worth a bitcoin. except the ones i lost on that stupid $400 bitbet.
benkay: HAW
benkay: no, those are still worth 1B too.
minersdidit: it was impossible to sustain becuase we dont even have 1billion of fiat on order books
benkay: sounds like a bubble, minersdidit
minersdidit: miners now get paid what 1million to secure the same 80k transactions
minersdidit: do you see the problem here? as the real value rises so does the cost to run the network
benkay: how is the subsidy different and the txn value the same?
minersdidit: its not differnt
minersdidit: the subsidy is like a $40 per transfer tax
minersdidit: in december
Duffer1: you're pricing mining activity in fiat?
benkay: miners got paid 25 bitcoin to move some other number of btc around, plus txn fees
minersdidit: you can price it in anything dude
minersdidit: miners had obscene margins and every incentive to realize them
Duffer1: i price it in btc...
minersdidit: hence its what theyve been doing
minersdidit: miners created bitstamps order book every 3 days in november
benkay: lose everything buying at 1200, minersdidit ?
Duffer1: since that's the reward for doing the work..
minersdidit: dude can you read?
minersdidit: they are getting paid extra for no new work performed
benkay: now or then?
minersdidit: even now
benkay: eh
benkay: still not really caring.
minersdidit: theres not enough fiat demand to support what miners are creating out of thin air everyday
steven-__: not sure im following you minersdidit
mike_c: is there any fiat demand? who wants fiat?
minersdidit: 3600 coins per day x 400 is what the miners are being paid in subsidies
Duffer1: coin generation, network security are work as well
minersdidit: to "secure" a network that only transfers 67k
minersdidit: they will be constantly on the ask side
minersdidit: which is what has been occuring
minersdidit: no it wont
minersdidit: bitcoin has no liquidity to support any type of wealth fleeing into it
minersdidit: and for every seller of BTC there is also a buyer
minersdidit: so your arguement makes no sense
Duffer1: capital flight will seek precious metals and other solid commodities imo, btc a bit too
TestingUnoDosTre: mike_c, at least you didn't almost lose .5 btc at the last minute like this guy <-----
minersdidit: no it doesnt. the quantity theory of money that bitcoin is based on, guarantees insane volatility
minersdidit: which will NOT attract wealth
minersdidit: hence why 5 years in we still have out of control price swings
benkay: so make the perfect alt
minersdidit: its not a question of that
mike_c: TestingUnoDosTre: um, i actually lost. seems worse than almost lost :)
benkay: with elastic supply
minersdidit: money has to reflect what the economy is doing, which is a fractal it expands and contracts hence elastic
TestingUnoDosTre: i lost, and I also lost the 1% by trying to bid last minute
minersdidit: it cant be a linear algo lol
akstunt600: benkay, i agree
akstunt600: that would be nice
akstunt600: but how?
akstunt600: lol
minersdidit: bitcoins value is relative to the liquidity pool of bids that is available
benkay: economy is a fractal yo
minersdidit: miners drain that pool constantly
akstunt600: true
ozbot: The 10 Most Insane Things You Didn't Know About the Universe | Marvels of the Science | Episode 6 -

akstunt600: Fucking miners

benkay: lay off the entheogens, kid.
akstunt600: lol
TestingUnoDosTre: hahahha
Duffer1: this whole conversation >.<
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2771 @ 0.00095723 = 2.6525 BTC [-]
minersdidit: yea you too stupid to see it
benkay: resorts to ad hominems
minersdidit: youll have persistent hyperinflation and hyperdeflation
minersdidit: its not my theory, its reality look how bitcoin acts
minersdidit: its 5 years in.
akstunt600: minersdidit, Sooo that why dogecoin is better?
akstunt600 akakkakakkakakakka
akstunt600: very very young
minersdidit: thats a century in internet time.
minersdidit: 5 years on the internet with instant information awareness is like 100-200 years
minersdidit: yea bitcoin does it in a day lol
akstunt600: danielpbarron, hahhah so true
MGK: anyone interested in buying a graded MS65 1btc coin?
TestingUnoDosTre: wtf is that
MGK: a casacious coin?
MGK: never heard of those?
minersdidit: danialbarron its lost what 40% in the last 24hrs alone?
minersdidit: what will it take for you to see most of its value? 51%?
TestingUnoDosTre: like a coin that you can hack by pealing off the adhesive?
minersdidit: im sorry 1/3rd
benkay: say we clear back to 10
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 20 @ 0.03587424 = 0.7175 BTC [+] {7}
minersdidit: bitcoin has lost about 60% of its "value" from january 1st
benkay: it's lost none of its value.
benkay: the crypto's still rock solid.
benkay: the txn net is stronger than ever.
benkay: the fundamentals remain.
benkay: fiat pricing silliness has not and never will matter.
minersdidit: price in anything
minersdidit: its down 60-70%
TestingUnoDosTre: alright, but if you had 10 dollars waiting to invest in bitcoin last week, versus today, how much more bitcoin would it buy benkay?
benkay: make this argument in a decade.
TestingUnoDosTre: totally not a legitimate argument
benkay: not you, TestingUnoDosTre
benkay: the "it's crazy vix week dot butts! bitcoin is useless!" argument.
minersdidit: bitcoin will be at version 0.92 in a decade with the current developmeant team
minersdidit: still promising multi sig
TestingUnoDosTre: bitcoin utility hasn't budged a bit, but the value has most definitely dropped
benkay: see now jump to a new topic, a new stupid claim
minersdidit: the utility sucks. 30% value swings in 24hrs
benkay: utility != price, price != value
benkay: ffs
minersdidit: plus horrendous bid/ask spread when trying to get some
benkay: yeah it's expensive and hard to get. what of it?
benkay: so is good blow.
minersdidit: no they wont
benkay: reference client isn't the only client
minersdidit: nobody pays them to sprout up
benkay: conformal do you even?
minersdidit: will mircea come in with a donation like openbsd lol
minersdidit: you did
Duffer1: minersdiditnobody pays them to sprout up >> have you heard of github?
benkay: github.com/conformal/btcd
benkay: next.
minersdidit: bitcoin developers are poor quality because their is zero incentive to attract proper professionals
benkay: read the conformal source. next.
TestingUnoDosTre: laughable at best ^
minersdidit: its a circus of amateurs from the last dotcom crash
TestingUnoDosTre: omfg
benkay waits for this thread of troll to spin out
minersdidit: how is it laughable, theres persistent amateur bugs discovered
TestingUnoDosTre: amateur?!?!
minersdidit: all the failures of the dotcom crash resurfaced in bitcoin
minersdidit: andreas etc.
TestingUnoDosTre: how quickly was an openSSL bug patched in the bitcoin community when released
TestingUnoDosTre: how long will the openSSL bug persist in everyday use?
minersdidit: wasnt it exposed for 2 years
mircea_popescu: so are we getting a proposal on how to fix bitcoin or noit just yet ?
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre prolly a year or so
BCB: mircea_popescu, did you see that new paper about regulation
BCB: you were mentioned
TestingUnoDosTre: which paper <BCB>
minersdidit: im too stupid too and theres no need
BCB: looking
benkay: princessnell's, most likely.
minersdidit: my statements are still accurate
benkay: k great thanks
minersdidit: bitcoin development team = losers from dotcom bust
benkay: yup great awesome
minersdidit: drifted on the internet for a decade until bitcoin came along

Trader1333: trying to acquire either 5 BTC weekly or $2500.
Trader1333: worth
BCB: TestingUnoDosTre, it's linked here: http://techliberation.com/2014/04/10/our-new-draft-paper-on-bitcoin-financial-regulation-securities-derivatives-prediction-markets-gambling/
Trader1333: willing to do a legally binding agreement of such and put forth my car as compensation should it cost too much
minersdidit: losers will always be losers, bitcoin allowed that particular group to get "another chance" to return to silicon valley, hence their constant obsession with conferences
Trader1333: i see BTC dropping to $100 but i dont care i need BTC weekly and constant. i need a way to buy BTC and i dont care if it goes to $10k or $1 im buying same amount weekly
Duffer1: i'm reminded of krugman's 'why the internet will never be popular' thesis..
Trader1333: i flip it weekly and make good margins. hell i make more than someone as a general manager of a fast food joint and i only do it for 5 hours a week roughly.
minersdidit: well the internet is a cesspool
minersdidit: i dont think anyone except andreas denies that lol
TestingUnoDosTre: <BCB> i see no mention of mp
Trader1333: problem is this stupid market no one wants to sell. so i figured if i offered a contract to buy at 1% above bitstamp the same amount every week, month to month contract, there would be some interest.
BCB: TestingUnoDosTre, it is in the attached paper http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2423461
Trader1333: dont have time for the stupid market volatility.
minersdidit: if you actually read krugmans article he was kind of correct.
minersdidit: the internet generation is poorer then their parents
benkay: that's for damn sure.
minersdidit: that simple fact shows you that the internet failied to deliver the utopia guys like andreas claimed it did
TestingUnoDosTre: ***than
Duffer1: andreas?
minersdidit: yea high priest of bitcoin

Trader1333: @benkay who cares about trust, we use an escrow. cash deposit, moneypak, whatever method you need.
Trader1333: i dont come on IRC after i got thrown out for basically buying and wouldnt accept the chatroom's escrow.
Trader1333: then got called a scammer and such.
benkay: good plan
benkay: run up into a foreigners bar
minersdidit: then what escrow did you want to use?
Trader1333: i only use members of bitcointalk such as DannyHamilton, Tomatocage, escrow.ms, etc.

TestingUnoDosTre: bitforex
TestingUnoDosTre: scamtopia
Trader1333: i have no interest in getting out of the trade.
Trader1333: im looking for a way that i can preserve my USD investment value.
MGK: lol
minersdidit: mpex will sell you put options
Trader1333: i buy BTC on coinbase and want the same USD value come friday whether the value of BTC has gone up 100% or down to $1.
TestingUnoDosTre: *for a preciious premium
minersdidit: lol nobody sane will do that
minersdidit: hence why mpex options failed
Trader1333: personally i see BTC dropping to $100 anyways
Trader1333: but like i said, i am not an investor in BTC at anything over $100. im only a mover.
Trader1333: i need constant BTC coming in which is what is slowing things down right now as this stupid bullshit pyramid scheme basically market was quickly raised to $1100 and now people think itd actually go back, ha.
minersdidit: benkay is a player
benkay: ?
benkay: more like a clown
Trader1333: Pump and dump and everyone fell for it and people still fail to see itl lol.
benkay: court jester, if you will.
mircea_popescu: BCB no ?
BCB: mircea_popescu, linked above
Trader1333: Popescu do you offer a way I can hedge a BTC purchase I make every week on Monday so that it remains the same USD value whether it goes up or down...a futures contract if you will.
mircea_popescu: Trader1333 probably not. you have no wot and generally, nobody gives a shit.
minersdidit: mircea you have a WOT and you still scam
minersdidit: whats that got to do with anything lol
Trader1333: dont care about WOT willing to meet in person if need be and sign contract binding my car to failure to pay. i buy 5 BTC weekly or $2500 every week, month to month contracts.
minersdidit: lol
Trader1333: car worth 3x that.
TestingUnoDosTre: where is your moms house / where do you live Trader1333?

TestingUnoDosTre: sorry no can do, I'm midwest mang
Trader1333: hell ill escrow the following week's payments too.
TestingUnoDosTre: I only deal in straight cash, homay
Trader1333: not against escrow, just wish i had options. i would use coinbase instant buy but they changed their bullshit to only being visa credit cards for backing the account.
Trader1333: i only have mastercard credit cards.
Trader1333: as do i testing.
TestingUnoDosTre: go to bitcoin-otc
minersdidit: mircea_popescu: comment on development team

minersdidit: no im criticizing it for bitcoins problems
minersdidit: how can you get any if 80% of them are held by 50 people
MisterE: you've yet to articulate an accurate problem that I've seen
MisterE: they are infinitely divisible
minersdidit: even if you offer services and producers youll never get any customers
minersdidit: since nobody has them in the first place lol
minersdidit: products*
MGK: LOL
MisterE: you're probably right
TestingUnoDosTre: holy shit 1 hr 13 minutes
MisterE: no sense wasting your time here with a failed technology eh?
MisterE: how abotu moving along
MGK: I just said that testing
MGK: bitcoin is dead yo
MGK: I wish
minersdidit: why would they do that?
MGK: but that wont be the case ever
minersdidit: even at 360 its free money
TestingUnoDosTre: i hope so because I bet that it won't get over 9b in may :D
minersdidit: costs like $2 to mine a btc
MisterE: danielpbarron: thats exactly what happend
mircea_popescu: http://pando.com/2014/04/10/wtf-healbe-scampaign-reaches-1m-thanks-to-undisclosed-contribution-from-indiegogos-hardware-chief/
ozbot: WTF? Healbe scampaign reaches $1m thanks to undisclosed contribution from Indiegogo’s hardware chi
mircea_popescu: indiegogo goes havelock lol
MGK: and GHAH mines the block
minersdidit: danielpbarron: you are clueless. producing an ASIC costs nothing, just becuase some scam companies sell them to retail tards for 20,000% markup does not mean they cost alot to make. the concentrated miners are producing BTC for next to free.
minersdidit: some tard in his basement maybe has high costs
minersdidit: the big operations dont
minersdidit: the operating costs are 2 dollars a coin and you sell for 370
minersdidit: its not rocket science lol
minersdidit: to a "believer"
minersdidit: tard trades paycheck for what a miner produced out of thin air
minersdidit: only reason mining hardware is sold in the first place is because of the 20,000% markups and you get straight up fiat without having to mine BTC first then do the pain in the ass conversion
minersdidit: so its like you already mined the rewards when you sell hardware
minersdidit: now think about that lol
minersdidit: its like selling call options all day
Duffer1: i'm trying not to, everything you've said is so wrong in so many ways it's giving me a headache
minersdidit: yea sure
TestingUnoDosTre: it's true though
minersdidit: tards labor away and get their paycheck to hand over to ASK side. you know someone has to be selling BTC for fiat. if its the "future" why are they selling it
minersdidit: miners are on the ask side since they are the only ones with BTC incomes
TestingUnoDosTre: please perform a calculation with known hardware at current difficulty and electricity costs minersdidit
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12100 @ 0.00095807 = 11.5926 BTC [+] {2}
minersdidit: dude that calculation is meanigless because half these asics cost jackshit
minersdidit: the power consumption is low
Duffer1: also calculate how much is being sold vs how much isn't
TestingUnoDosTre: I know algebra is difficult
minersdidit: people are producing coins for free
minersdidit: next to free
minersdidit: retail tards have to make back their equipment they paid 20,000% markup for
TestingUnoDosTre: it's TOTES for free
minersdidit: retail end miners are stupid
minersdidit: guys who get asics for pennys are smart
minersdidit: even they realized its better to sell for fiat at 20,000% profit then mining BTCs lol.
minersdidit: um no
minersdidit: they buy cars, houses, business's
minersdidit: well stockholm syndrome 101
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 800 @ 0.00095686 = 0.7655 BTC [-]

minersdidit: tards think they are participating or buying a piece of "technology" lol all they are doing is transfering wealth from 1 party to another
TestingUnoDosTre: now you're just going all minarchist on us
minersdidit: ask yourself whose on the sell side when 50 people own almost all the coins?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 20 @ 0.05141349 = 1.0283 BTC [-] {5}
TestingUnoDosTre: you could say the same thing about... anything with value
TestingUnoDosTre: does everyone own equal amounts of oil
TestingUnoDosTre: how about gold
TestingUnoDosTre: real estate?
minersdidit: oil gets consumed
minersdidit: bitcoin has zero utility outside of its EXCHANGE value.
minersdidit: everything youve named has utility outside of exchange
TestingUnoDosTre: same thing with DOLLARS
minersdidit: dollars are needed to pay debts off
TestingUnoDosTre: and gold?
TestingUnoDosTre: please explain the great utility of gold to me
minersdidit: gold is special because it has a high stock to flow ratio
minersdidit: no other commodity has that property
benkay: what suckers have btc debts?
minersdidit: ie in 24hrs more gold is traded then mined in a given year
minersdidit: so you never have supply surprises
benkay: give it 80 years, and bitcoin will be in the same position.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 33 @ 0.05020911 = 1.6569 BTC [-] {5}
minersdidit: bitcoin has no value outside of exchange
minersdidit: you cant do anything with a btc
benkay: 'cept of course send it to someone in argentina
[\]: can't do anything with a dollar
benkay: or colombia
minersdidit: if theres no liquidity the price collapses like now
TestingUnoDosTre: you seriosuly can't do much with gold
TestingUnoDosTre: sersly
minersdidit: you cant do ANYTHING with btc
minersdidit: its not even something.
minersdidit: if theres no exchange liquidity the value tanks like now
TestingUnoDosTre: actually

TestingUnoDosTre: what caused the flood of retard into this channel today?
minersdidit: whose taking bets on when the bitcoin core has another security fuckup
[\]: TestingUnoDosTre, its easy to be a bear when there's a downtrend.
[\]: They all disappear during the bull markets.
MisterE: The troll is strong here today, must be the exchange price has brought it out
MisterE: ^ that
Duffer1: testing i was thinking it was one of the talk twitter heads mircea_popescu pissed off..
[\]: TestingUnoDosTre, MisterE, the trolls usually come out about now.
[\]: if you've been around for a few years, you notice the pattern.
minersdidit: hopefully this bear market leads to most of the devoplment team leaving. gavin going is a positive step
minersdidit: then we can make a decent bottom
akstunt600: wait untill newfag season
MisterE: this is my first dip with the #-assets crew :)
Duffer1: i actually hope the same thing miners
[\]: Gavin hasn't left. He's just not the lead dev.

TestingUnoDosTre: <MisterE> samesies
benkay: by my count we're solidly in the middle of september, akstunt600
MisterE: wish it happened more often heh
akstunt600: hahahhaha benkay
minersdidit: this bear market wont end until most of the core developmeant team is gone and btc foundation closed
MisterE: oh newfag season must be even teh worst
TestingUnoDosTre: please don't associate those two entities together
[\]: lol
MisterE: never even thought of it
minersdidit: why not
minersdidit: its the same group of people
[\]: the ignore list grows by one
TestingUnoDosTre: it's like comparing the Winkelvii brothers with satoshi
benkay: core dev team and btc fundation are pretty tightly aligned
minersdidit: satoshi left because he realized the fucktards in the project and didnt want anything to do with them
MisterE: yea minersdidit is clearly not dumb
nubbins`: who's satoshi?
TestingUnoDosTre: touche
benkay: who's nubbins` ?
[\]: minersdidit, quotation needed.
nubbins`: oooooo
benkay: ka-zong

TestingUnoDosTre: ;;whoami
gribble: I don't recognize you.
[\]: where did satoshi ever call Gavin a fucktard?
TestingUnoDosTre: :(
minersdidit: when he left
[\]: In fact, satoshi was the one that gave Gavin rights.
minersdidit: hence the leaving.
[\]: herpderp
minersdidit: gavin has been a disaster ever since fork, constant patches and fucked up releases
[\]: You've got your info wrong, in traditional troll fashion.
minersdidit: .9 lasted what 48hrs?
[\]: but who needs facts
minersdidit: before being exploitable
MisterE: minersdidit: why don't you code someting better
Duffer1: do you have any bitcoins minersdidit?
TestingUnoDosTre: has anyone been keeping tabs on any satoshi addesses, is s/he to blame for this downtrend?!?!?!
MisterE: easy to rip on others
[\]: .9 was barely exploitable.
MisterE: not so to create solutions
minersdidit: yea it lasted 2 days before .91
[\]: and 2/3 of the internet was hit by it.
minersdidit: why was it in the software in the first place
[\]: so to make a fuss becaues bitcoin was caught is rather stupid
[\]: because RPC over SSL isn't a bad thing.

TestingUnoDosTre: <---- lost all his bitcoins to Ukranian videochatters in 2010
[\]: Its easy to pull out quotes that are right when you make thousands of them. how about you point out all the quotes that were wrong?
minersdidit: whenever i saw bitcoin foundation mugs i knew i was doing the right thing
