TheNewDeal: new to reading these types of documents. Has taken me MANY glances to understand the gist of that

bitcoinpete: "AML regulations are meant to stop drug cartels and terrorists from using banks to conduct criminal activity. But the strict interpretation of those rules may be causing inadvertent harm to people in Somalia — a war-torn country where large numbers of people depend on money transfers from friends and relatives abroad to cover their basic needs."

bitcoinpete: "As it stands, banks fear being held liable if funds sent through money transmitters reach terrorist organizations or other criminal groups. In one such case, two Somali-American women were found guilty of sending money transfers to the terrorist organization al Shabaab."

frankenmint: I got my package from you finally
fluffypony: I get the feeling that the only people buying GPU rigs atm are people who want to buy them cheaply
fluffypony: whereas individual components are more in demand among gamers etc.
frankenmint: yea which means cutting corners, some hardware hosting folks I talked to mentioned that large private mining clients want barebones power to setup their own rigs and cooling

mircea_popescu: giving twitter a hard time
jurov: DrewHorne: fine, thanks. you're the festival organizer?
jurov: ...
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: lol, I read that as "cautious renters" and I was like "how does this relate to people who rent?"
mircea_popescu: jurov answered your comment
mircea_popescu: fluffypony the socialist state in its final decomposition stages has identified the enemies of the people : savers and owners.
mircea_popescu: the burgeoisie, god damned them, keep making it impossible for the working man to find toilet paper in the store.
mircea_popescu: in spite of the government having clearly made a rule that there should be toilet paper!
Apocalyptic: that's quite accurate
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, venezuela is also a federal republic. only... 30ish years more advanced than the us
mircea_popescu: and well, minerally richer.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, listen to this sad story : the mother of a friend, who has been a nurse all her life, 20+ years, and who is actually a very good nurse, and who's got a back injury from lifting people in wheelchair up to busses and so on, has been trying for the past 6 months to get a job.
mircea_popescu: because "the recession is over", yet people with valuable experience and qualifications are looking for work. this somehow makes sense.
mircea_popescu: the best she could find was this deal where she took ~12 hours' worth of examinations, and they got her a thing for 3 hours / week.
mircea_popescu: "maybe they'll find more"
mircea_popescu: it pays minimum wage, and no benefits
mircea_popescu: and she's taxed on it.
mircea_popescu: currently, making ~12 dollars. a week.
mircea_popescu: couldn't pay for my fucking coffee. not all the coffee i drink in a week, either, just, one time.
mircea_popescu: this is probably also the fault of the rentiers and savers.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay "Adding a picture" ? that article is kinda silly.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
fluffypony: that makes me sad to hear
mircea_popescu: the curse of being born in the best country in the world, a few decades before it became the best country in the world.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: if she speaks English, why doesn't she look at the TEFL stuff and similar? I have a friend in Cape Town who teaches English via Skype to foreigners, she doesn't have to speak a foreign language, just has to be able to speak English
mircea_popescu: well yes she speaks english, she was born in texas or something, i forget.
mircea_popescu: and you know, soime people want to do a certain thing.
mircea_popescu: now granted, if the thing they want to do is i dunno, watch tv, then one could say "how about you do this instead".
mircea_popescu: but nursing ffs ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think there ever existed or could ever exist a functioning society in which nursing jobs are to be discounted because too little demand and too many people wanting to do it.
mircea_popescu: by the way, that's actually quite ancient chinese stuff.
mircea_popescu: "if the cake is tasty we should be together", prolly older than the wheel.
mircea_popescu: course, it used to be made by the girl in question, but hey. "if the cake is tasty, maybe we should come to this place more often"
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: mpex drop? << yeah it like, plunged a few days ago. it actually does this, probably to mess with mike trying to understand the news impact.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: how does it get executed << euro future, settles 15th of each month, can be delivered as euros on bitcoin central.

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: tell him you have sekrit NSA dokumintz proving it
mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah then he'll just ask me for them
mircea_popescu: this is how you acquire stalkers.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: just readin logs atm, looks like drew came by with quite the edm business proposal. mp's flowers must have put him in a fabulous mood because he's !downed newcomers for less << someone should sometime do a comparative study of how noobs fare in here.
mircea_popescu: i tell you it's not my mood, that'd be like saying the girl was horny. no, no, it was in your approach, not in her horniness i tell you! he somehow, improbably, managed to whistle into the modem.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony you didn't get shot down ? i supported it, what did you think "fluffypony on the topic of how good design begets business." meant ?
fluffypony: huh? I got shot down when I suggested that we get someone part-time to sift through logs and make an ongoing anthology?
mircea_popescu: you did ?
mircea_popescu: read the link you sent again!
fluffypony: "asciilifeform:fluffypony: have you hired someone to chew your food? why not?"
fluffypony: shot down
mircea_popescu: but what did i say!
fluffypony: true, I somehow glossed over that comment
fluffypony: twice
fluffypony: I was too focused on food-chewers
mircea_popescu: well so in that case don't oppose what he said to me eh!
fluffypony: when I get some time I may actually go hunting for someone to do that
fluffypony: get them started from like 12 months ago in the logs
mircea_popescu: i would propose going backwards actually.
fluffypony: interesting
fluffypony: won't they lack context if they do that?
mircea_popescu: they would be building context in the way of the noob, rather than i nthe way of the sacred cow.
mircea_popescu: this thing you're making, it's intended to satisfy the needs of noobs, right ?
mircea_popescu: you're not trying tro get me to pay for access in order to shake my head
fluffypony: yes - to satisfy the noobs and if correctly tagged and annotated it's a searchable repository of information
mircea_popescu: cool. so then it should build context from present day through archeological remains,
mircea_popescu: it's speaking to contemporaries not to people long gone
fluffypony: like a historian
fluffypony: an historian
fluffypony: one of the two
chetty: just no libtard historical rewrites - pls
mircea_popescu: yeah. unlike a historian, it has the invaluable advantage that people present in the deepest strata of history are still around today, and they can say either "ah, that one point is fucking stupid, forget it" or the contrary.
mircea_popescu: the lack of which is the worst problem of history, because you never quite know for sure just how important this particular bit of nonsense really is
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this could be a phd thesis for a history student in a good uni.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that there could be a better one, should get magna.
pankkake: I wonder how history will work in the future. You used to have not enough data, now you have too much
mircea_popescu: incidentally, if any of you is fucking a history major on the side... maybe it's time for her phd.
mircea_popescu: at any rate it'd be proper scholarship, rather than the current courtois-type nonsense.
fluffypony ponders
fluffypony: what's the rationale behind investors getting voting rights if they cumulatively own like 10% or 20% of a company? doesn't that seem redundant?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: getting pushback from 1 person who can't understand why we aren't giving VertPay investors voting rights
fluffypony: and I'm trying to understand why it's so important to them
mircea_popescu: voting rights are nonsense in bitcoin anyway. what the fuck are they going to do, get a confederatied majority and... what, oust you ? take over ?
mircea_popescu: voting rights made sense in the old days of geographically fixed agents and material means of production. that situation changed.
mircea_popescu: immaterial means of production and geographically dispersed agents reduces the corporate voting to meaninglessness. not that it worked too well pre bitcoin, either.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you read the original thread of the sdice listing, the same sort of derpage was raised by the losers vocal there. amoing a pile of other "good and considered" reasons not to invest.
mircea_popescu: history has shown that their opinions weren't worth holding.
chetty: buying stock should indicate confidence in management, sell is lack of such - what better votes are there?
fluffypony: chetty: good point
mircea_popescu: chetty exactly. but in the old days of imperfect economy, people actually had to have a backchannel, and take over the tractor or whatever it was
mircea_popescu: because you couldn't afford to let a physical tractor go to waste, as a society.
mircea_popescu: these days, a website going to waste ? heh.
pankkake: I like the point where you'd have to trust other shareholder's opinions. I certainly wouldn't want that
mircea_popescu: any way you turn it voting shares are nonsensical.
mircea_popescu: at the very most tyhe management could solicit nonbinding opinions from holders, there's a mpex mechanism for doing this embedded in some listing agreements,
mircea_popescu: but it's not yet been used to date.
mircea_popescu: !up DrewHorne

thestringpuller: /msg mircea_popescu i have naked pix of hot models
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller so do i :D
fluffypony: pankkake: yeah - to a large degree, investors don't *necessarily* have the knowledge to be in the space the business is operating in (otherwise they'd be in the space), so they're just proffering an opinion

mircea_popescu: no, actually, i was wrong o.O
mircea_popescu: it's about you not our relationship. and also, http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=thestringpuller your oldest rating seems to be from oct 17th
mircea_popescu: so either gribble actually keeps track of the oldest rating oyu ever got and someone modified their oct 15th rating
mircea_popescu: or else there's a bug there
fluffypony: you mean like someone forgot to * 1000 ?
mircea_popescu: prolly the former tbh :p
pankkake: it's too bad that you only see the last update of a rating. I feel like it has value to know when it appeared first
mircea_popescu: pankkake you can log the ratings chan
DrewHorne: so where do i go lurk for something to successfully do to get rated and earn trust?
HeySteve: or check the blockchain, pankkake :)
mircea_popescu: DrewHorne you know how to read thew logs here ?
pankkake: not very practical, when you just want to look at someone's ratings
HeySteve: soon
DrewHorne: i do not
pankkake: "oh, these guys have known each other for years" - that info
fluffypony: pankkake: I suppose you could talk to the rater and ask them?
DrewHorne: go to the logs web address?
mircea_popescu: pankkake it does have a chilling effect, because sometimes i'm hesitant to update very old ratings, and just let them be "good enough"
mircea_popescu: DrewHorne you can read the logs of this chan. ocasionally things pop up for people to do.
pankkake: 1) I'm an assburger 2) but I would rather talk to the ones with the oldest initial rating, anyway
pankkake: mircea_popescu: well exactly
mircea_popescu: like above the history phd bit. obviously useless to you, as youre no historian by trade, but we are a diverse bucnh with diverse needs.
mircea_popescu: pankkake course the canonical way around is to just ask the rater. he can tell you how far back the relationship goes
DrewHorne: the first thing that popped out from the log was "mircea_popescu:incidentally, it occurs to me someone should do a topic summary of this channel. what have we been discussing today, music, heaters, beating small children, points of history of cryptography academic publications minutia, radiobiology"
DrewHorne: i guess i missed the convo on beating small children
mircea_popescu: something not necessarily covered by wot anyway yet, as some people rated each other in 2011 might have known each other since 2001
DrewHorne: damn
mircea_popescu: but there was no wot in 2001
mircea_popescu: DrewHorne it's in there, read up
DrewHorne: sweet
HeySteve: how beneficial would a permanent record of such trust relationships be?
DrewHorne: ok so seriously though how is the best way to sort though all of this for an actual task rather than just read all of yalls entertaining multifaceted chat
mircea_popescu: HeySteve very ?
mircea_popescu: DrewHorne kinda what we're trying to work out atm. there is a wiki, but not too fleshed out yet
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, for what purposes is it valuable would you say?
DrewHorne: gotcha
mircea_popescu: HeySteve you read the theory of economics ?
DrewHorne: seems like there would be a way to archive tasks?
DrewHorne: and then just visit the archive and look through different catalogs?
fluffypony: DrewHorne: you may want to check the bitcoin-otc order book
mircea_popescu: DrewHorne one could do that, sure.
fluffypony: sometimes there are things in there as well
DrewHorne: thanks ill scope it now

DrewHorne: haha
DrewHorne: well trust is gained from any successful bitcoin transaction in which someone feels fit to rate you, correct?
mircea_popescu: pretty much.
DrewHorne: so i could earn trust by either performing a task for someone and demonstrating competency or by purchasing something from someone with bitcoin and just paying them immediately and correctly
mircea_popescu: you can read the above link too, it may clarify
DrewHorne: lol touche
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, yes I've read that
pankkake: lol TrustSharesIPO__ / TrustSharesIPO spamming the order book
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, so this then creates a more comprehensive gazette?
mircea_popescu: HeySteve so in those terms, it's valuable for enforcing the point 2, permanence.
HeySteve: right, I get it. I am trying to finetune the WoT system without fixing what ain't broke. this is a definite point of improvement
mircea_popescu: indeed, adding a history of past ratings would be a good idea.
mircea_popescu: numerisTrade still working towards your comment btw.
DrewHorne: be back later, yall have a good one
mircea_popescu ponders that DrewPistols would be a pretty decent stripper name.

davout: ThickAsThieves: i wonder if that's really a good idea
ThickAsThieves: i do too
ThickAsThieves: you see, if the WoT is a punishment gazette, since when do criminals register for such themselves?
kakobrekla: fluffypony theres a chan on freenode which prints all changes
ThickAsThieves: it's not a simple thing to solve or implement though
chetty: <ThickAsThieves> since when do criminals register for such themselves?// great point!!
HeySteve: I can see the value of rating unregistered entities
punkman: ThickAsThieves: well there's Paypal for example, but how is that useful http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=paypal
HeySteve: but there are problems :) they'd have to be clearly identified as proxies
ThickAsThieves: HeySteve, megacorps arent good examples
ThickAsThieves: they have reputation that transcends a log
HeySteve: it may be best to think of them as placeholder ratings which the entities can later assume once validated
ThickAsThieves: (i could spend time arguing otherwise)
punkman: well "entities" brings that kind of thing to mind
davout: ThickAsThieves: if i wanted to argue the opposite i'd say criminals that aren't in the wot weren't part of the economy in the first place, so that would be a non-issue
ThickAsThieves: a better example would be like JOsh from BFL
ThickAsThieves: or Peter Vesesnes
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves
fluffypony: what nick would you put josh under?
fluffypony: bfljosh? real name?
ThickAsThieves: well these are the finer problems
ThickAsThieves: you'd need to add several fields to the db
fluffypony: but it's the core of the problem
fluffypony: essential to the WoT is identity
ThickAsThieves: for Real Names and Known Aliases
ThickAsThieves: essentially
fluffypony: an alias is irrelevant unless it links to an identity
ThickAsThieves: probly with references
ozbot: Economic cycles finally explained pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
fluffypony: which is why opt-in registration is important
fluffypony: the minute you allow the rating of unidentified individuals you take identity out of it
HeySteve: <+fluffypony> an alias is irrelevant unless it links to an identity <- I disagree. someone doesn't have to know your real name to trade with you based on ratings
fluffypony: HeySteve: identity != real name
ThickAsThieves: opt-in registeration being easy and clean does not make unregistered identity handling unimportant
mircea_popescu: <davout> ThickAsThieves: i wonder if that's really a good idea << i don't think it is.
HeySteve: fluffypony, ok sure, just clarifying your meaning
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> you see, if the WoT is a punishment gazette, since when do criminals register for such themselves? << since forever. read up on "peine forte et dure" ?
ThickAsThieves: the question isnt has it ever happened
ThickAsThieves: it is whether it makes sense for it to be a requirement
HeySteve: the question then becomes who would hold the keys to the placeholder identity? seeing as that identity will also be able to rate people. so what happens if "PayPal" downvotes you?
mircea_popescu: but you askled "since when", when in point of fact it was always the case. only recently have courst strayed into this heresy that they have authority to judge over unwilling participants.
mircea_popescu: justice never involved this nonsense.
ThickAsThieves: so a roaming criminal never gets jailed cuz he doesnt recognize the authority?
mircea_popescu: <punkman> ThickAsThieves: well there's Paypal for example, but how is that useful http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=paypal << hardly useful tbh. just people using the wot to blog. they could have blogged better on a blog, or on twitter.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves ayup.
ThickAsThieves: i suppose there is a more broken up punishment gazette, the blogosphere and forums etc
chetty: I suppose the whole internet functions as a punishment gazette
mircea_popescu: thart's just a forum
mircea_popescu: this is the problem : clueless people are trying to mix forum into pg.
mircea_popescu: they don't belong mixed and so can't mix.

HeySteve: another issue I forsee with rating of unregistered parties, is people extending the scope of the WoT beyond its intended purpose of recording Bitcoin trades. people will use it to downrate TV characters from soap operas
mircea_popescu: anyweay davout's argument is souind : if they had no wot they were not part of the economy in the first place.
chetty: deal with something not on the wot at your own risk
mircea_popescu: force them to wot as part and parcel of doing business with them, know that their refusal to comply means they're scammers.
ThickAsThieves: plenty people not in the wot are part of the economy
fluffypony: Drew: [15:27:46] NaruFGT-phone: Looking for some quick help configuring sendmail, will pay BTC
ThickAsThieves: just not the economy you can trust
fluffypony: he's gone
HeySteve: I'm thinking there's a whole raft of WoT-related improvements only possible with some degree of hierarchial organisation
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so then... they aren't part of the economy. lol
ThickAsThieves: they arent part of our elitist portion of the economy
HeySteve: trusted nodes are appointed that can do things like register placeholder identities
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is like saying women that don't have sex are part of the dating market, just not my elitist subsection of it
mircea_popescu: next youi're going to claim the us is part of human culture, just, not the elitist part of it.
davout: chetty: deal with something on the wot at your own risk too!
davout: :D
ThickAsThieves: not quite mp
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves are people who will sell you a house/car but not sign a contract also part of the real estate/car markets
ThickAsThieves: surely there are people that dont know about or how to WoT, they we trust to be in our ecomonic sphere
ThickAsThieves: we invite them to join it when we think to
ThickAsThieves: it's incidental, not definitive
mircea_popescu: all purported economic activity that's not taking place between wot registered identities is deffective. if only one wot identity is involved, the whoile thing is in no substantial manner different from the medieval relations between peon and his lord.
mircea_popescu: if no wot identity is involved, the thing's irrelevant economically, might as well be two somalis trading cowries
mircea_popescu: in some undiscovered island somewhere.
HeySteve: ThickAsThieves, what if to send Bitcoin to a WoT-registered party cost less in transaction fees than sending it to someone unregistered?
ThickAsThieves: that's incentivizing
HeySteve: yes, but what's the specific objection?
mircea_popescu: that is the specific objections, fo reals.
Apocalyptic: " is people extending the scope of the WoT beyond its intended purpose of recording Bitcoin trades"
Apocalyptic: since when is the scope "recording Bitcoin trades" only ?
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic whence the quote ?
ThickAsThieves: well it's the bitcoin-otc WoT
ThickAsThieves: originally
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: yeah but it hasn't been purely for -otc since gribble first appeared on a non -otc channel
HeySteve: Apocalyptic, fair enough it's a fuzzier boundary

mircea_popescu: Naphex gotta love the gpg-centric view lol
Naphex: hehe
ThickAsThieves: couldnt it just be a separate WoT that had one real WoT account for integration?
mircea_popescu: HeySteve not that narrow. the wot holds all trust in human society. all of it.
ThickAsThieves: i believe we discussed similar ideas in the past
ThickAsThieves: a wot web
mircea_popescu: soon enough political office will be decided simply by wots.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, in theory but in practical usage today, it's mostly for the Bitcoin community
mircea_popescu: to a large degree it already is, in the offices that matter anyway.
Naphex: *crypto community
mircea_popescu: HeySteve people.
Naphex: WoT was around before gribble as well
mircea_popescu: nobody;'s fault the rest of the bipedals aren't human.
Naphex: i remember crypto channels, with WoT auth
HeySteve: well, I was discussing the failings of democracy elsewhere as it's SA election day today
mircea_popescu: it's been the curse of the humancondition, this, for most times and places most bipedal life forms were bios rather than zoon
mircea_popescu: Naphex definitely. gribble is just an incremental improvement.

HeySteve: I agree it has great application to politics, yet I still don't see why incentivising people to join the WoT is bad
mircea_popescu: HeySteve do you see why incentivising people to marry is bad ?
HeySteve: not in every case, no
mircea_popescu: i didn'tg say "it's in every case bad"
mircea_popescu: for it to be bad, it suffices that there is one case where it's bad.
HeySteve: maybe the country is low on population growth for eg
mircea_popescu: nobody gives a shit about your country.
mircea_popescu: this is about individuals.
mircea_popescu: the only thing that matters.
ThickAsThieves: it's also a sliper fucking slope
HeySteve: it's about leading individuals to choices you consider to be in their best interest
HeySteve: like raising taxes on cigarettes
mircea_popescu: you have no business "considering" that.
ThickAsThieves: one day you invent the coupon, 20 years later you have an economy bent on quantity over quality
mircea_popescu: this is what bitcoin is here to do : make it impossible for pompous assholes to raise taxes on cigarettes.
HeySteve: what is society agrees cigarettes are bad?
Apocalyptic: that's irrelevany
Apocalyptic: *irrelevant
ThickAsThieves: then they wont smoke them
mircea_popescu: what society ?
mircea_popescu: whoever thinks they're bad can not smoke them

ThickAsThieves: this likely echoes across so many things
mircea_popescu: hugely compelx anthropotopic, this. and i am not actually arguing against clothes per se
HeySteve: hmm well, in the context I propose incentivising certain behaviours and taxing others, there is no central authority doing it. there is the code which people are free to use
mircea_popescu: merely pointing out how easily dysfunctional this "common good" argument is.
ThickAsThieves: i'll stay ot
mircea_popescu: HeySteve the only reason i comment is because you seemed to want to know why i wouldn't use it.
HeySteve: thus the argument against central authority is less meaningful. there are rules individuals agree to abide by
mircea_popescu: obviously.
ThickAsThieves: HeySteve, you couldnt do it anyway
HeySteve: I understand, I am looking more for an economic reason why doing things that way leads to failure
ThickAsThieves: discounting as a method is always a poor method of marketing
mircea_popescu: but anyway, since we're doing great covnersation : someone should write an essay on the possibility - in principle - of distinguishing between "common good" and "groupthink". writer out criteria, give me a method, break that shit up.
ThickAsThieves: it doesnt mean it cant work
mircea_popescu: i posit such a thing is impossible.

fluffypony: nanotube: if I get a bit of time I can make the changes and submit a PR?

HeySteve: imposing costs for certain actions turns the WoT into something of a business, I'd favour that way to limit spam
HeySteve: the problem is imposing costs means you have to set costs, meaning you can't avoid (dis)incentivisation
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: well atm the db is 3mb, so I don't see it growing massively - double-ish that size if every single rating was updated:-P
ThickAsThieves: the issue is spam
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves> "Obviously, a criminal justice system that punished only those who volunteered for punishment was unworkable << this is what the contemporary thinks.

ThickAsThieves: or is otherwise difficult to detect
ThickAsThieves: what if the logs are a lie
mircea_popescu: trust, but verify is the recipe to perfect security.
mircea_popescu: 3rd party logs are all a lie ?
ThickAsThieves: i suppose not, assuming they are logged by several trustworthy parties
mircea_popescu: trust, but verify is also why eventual consistency is so deeply buried at the root of practical business.

princessnell: i was honored to be cited on trilema
princessnell: v exciting
dub: you put stationary in ur butt?
mircea_popescu: o was it your first time princessnell ?

mircea_popescu: princessnell no i mean on trilema o.O

mircea_popescu: !up realzies
assbot: Voicing realzies for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless i misunderstand, real book transmuting to fake history is detectable with the only slightly non-naked eye
asciilifeform: supposing anyone gave a damn.
artifexd: Did the self voicing rules change?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah. jitney is an unsolved problem in the fiat markets either.
mircea_popescu: artifexd not afaik. why ?
artifexd: As I understand it, to self up one must be in assbot's l2 (or higher).
artifexd: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-05-2014#665321 <- implies that l3 is sufficient. Rated by someone rated by assbot.
ozbot: #bitcoin-assets log
mircea_popescu: that's l2.
asciilifeform: jitney ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform common penny stock fraud. two brokers pass the stock back and forth to create the semblance of volume.
asciilifeform: aha, so 'fake' as in shills, rather than cooked books as such
artifexd: Assbot rates bob. Bob is in assbots's l1. Bob rates George. George is in Assbot's l2. George rates Nancy. Nancy is in Assbot's l3. Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding somethign?
asciilifeform: 'painted tape' ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 18600 @ 0.00088342 = 16.4316 BTC [+]
artifexd: In that example, Bob and George could self up, but Nancy could not. Right?
mircea_popescu: artifexd right
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HIF] 600 @ 0.00021402 = 0.1284 BTC [-] {3}
mircea_popescu: "Rated by someone rated by assbot". l2.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well painting is more like price fixing
artifexd: Being rated by someone in assbots l2 doesn't do anything useful for self voicing though, right?
mircea_popescu: also a little more risky, in the sense you may end up beaten to shit by the market.
mircea_popescu: artifexd right.
artifexd: Ok. I'll chalk it up to you making a typo and that the rules didn't change.
mircea_popescu: wait what typo did i make!
artifexd: mircea_popescu:taub you need to get rated by someone in assbot's l2, then id with gribble and pm assbot !up <- you need to be rated by someone in assbot's l1
asciilifeform: it makes arithmetical sense, that, using shills, an exchange can generate whatever 'market' price spectra it likes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only if it has infinite resources.
asciilifeform: what resource expenditures are needed, assuming the 'fake' prices are higher than the genuine market price ?
asciilifeform: (sell, rather than buy)
asciilifeform: fake sellers offer inflated price, fake buyers buy at it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform someone could sell (even short) your stock, taking "your" profits you paid to generate.
asciilifeform: like the $10,000 video game machines on ebay.
mircea_popescu: this is generally why scammers bitch and whine about how shorts are bad :
mircea_popescu: they have just pushed the stock price up fraudulently, and don't want to be raped for it.
mircea_popescu: so they ask govt to intervene and distort the market.
asciilifeform: afaik 'btc-e' offers no stock?
mircea_popescu: either btc or fait can be the "stock"
mircea_popescu: a trade's a trade.
asciilifeform: so it follows that btc-e is eligible for raping?
asciilifeform: or, failing that, could be induced to operate outside of the stated parameters, proving bezzle
mircea_popescu: we are discussing quite different things. i said jitney, you proposed to replace it with painting the tape, i pointed out that that's different.
mircea_popescu: it is different.

asciilifeform: associated with... expertSexchange?
decimation: heh don't think so
decimation: "This exchange, IEX, (it was originally to be called ?Investors Exchange?, but the founders realised that the obvious Internet domain name, investorsexchange.com, could be infelicitously parsed into three words as well as two), would include technological constraints (including 38 miles of fibre optic cable in a box to create latency between the point of presence where traders could attach and the servers which matched bids and asks) which
decimation: rendered the strategies of the HFTs impotent and obsolete. "
decimation: lol 38 miles of fiber in a box
mircea_popescu: decimation im sure we lolled at that domain before.
asciilifeform: i recall seeing a photo of this very box, here.
decimation: yeah probably
decimation: the question is: do you trust the fiat brigade to maintain the "integrity" of their 38 miles? Who audits the delay time?
asciilifeform: chumpatronics.
mircea_popescu: Sep 19 23:03:52 <deizel>bitcoinsexchange.com (later a hyphen is added to clear things up, bitcoins-exchange.com)
mircea_popescu: nm. different one
decimation: the greater chumpatron sucks chumps attempting to evade lesser chumpatrons
moiety: kakobrekla: done. would you see if it's of any use please?
mircea_popescu: so there's been a sexchange of bitcoin, experts and investors so far. who's next ?
decimation: you know your "market" has entered LOListan when exchanges compete, promising to screw the customer slightly less
mircea_popescu: obamasexchange.biz ?
decimation: that sounda more like future news
moiety: kakobrekla: why does my title have - and not spaces -_- sorry will delete
dub: dc's in and near exchanges all have minimum cable distance to make it 'fair' from what Ive heard
decimation: yeah but there are clear incentives to "cheat"
dub: which is why the house enforces it
mircea_popescu: the funny part being that this hft thing is a solved problem, mpex doesn't have it.
mircea_popescu: you don't need 38 miles of cable either
asciilifeform: the problem, as i understand, exists where people wish it to exist.
BingoBoingo: That trilema article was one of the most revealing to me
dub: there used to be serious competition to be in closer racks
decimation: I guess the only reason there is a front running "problem" is because only a small oligarchy has access to the market
artifexd: I've never understood why hft is a problem.
mircea_popescu: decimation i'd say it exists because a wide nonoligarchy somehow got the mistaken impression it should have access to the market.
decimation: imagine you are the CEO of IBM: you know whether you hold a clown circus for your next board meeting or not, all the chumps are going to auto-buy your stock next Thursday
mircea_popescu: what exact value would one expect from joe the plumber's knowledge of stocks and the world around him to be passed through his 3k into apple's market
mircea_popescu: decimation for instance, buffett refused small investors precisely for this reason. fuck you, we don't want your stupid.
decimation: also, the small investor has no say, even if he's not stupid
mircea_popescu: well, he has the say of his buy or sell, whatever it is. that's a say
decimation: because the votes of his 401k shares are excercised on his behalf
asciilifeform: we don't want your stupid << at the poker table, they certainly want the stupid.
mircea_popescu: fifty milion idiots with 10 dollars each made britney spears a reality.
decimation: most USian's don't have any choice on what to buy
decimation: "stock fund" or "bond fund"
mircea_popescu: this is also true
decimation: and the shares they own in these "funds" convey no rights
asciilifeform: fortunately, it remains possible to buy... nothing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure, the other market participants do want it. the corp tho doesn;t.
asciilifeform: at least at the moment.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this takes us to the deep reason mpex is oft maligned on the sm : reddit, tardstalk et all are mostly made up of would-be daytraders, in their own head.
mircea_popescu: these are very insulted by a flat refusal to allow chumps at table.
decimation: so, basically banks and investment brokers end up excercising the ownership rights of idiots
decimation: which solves buffet's problem to some extent
mircea_popescu: decimation used to work fine up until they started hiring idiots.
asciilifeform once allowed 100 usd to vanish into '401k' nonsense through slothful inaction (forgot to fill out form to zap it after it was issued by an employer)
asciilifeform took off hat, paid respects, said good-bye to the hundy.
mircea_popescu: how much is it worth now ?
decimation: asciilifeform you can avoid some of the 401k madness if your company offers a "Roth 401k"
asciilifeform: decimation: why would i want any
BingoBoingo: Generally in the US Roth anything is less insane
decimation: you pay taxes up front, but you can withdrawl the principal investment (not the earnings) at any time
BingoBoingo: But that still isn't sane
decimation: well, I guess if you want to pay more tax
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SCRYPT] 6 @ 0.041 = 0.246 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: better a tax than a straight disappearance into neverneverland
decimation: I guess the gov't makes you pay one way or the other.
decimation: asciilifeform, many us corps (due to heavy USG encouragement) pay incentives to "invest" in 401ks
decimation: like, we will pay you 5% more if you "invest" 5%
asciilifeform: yeah, they do
decimation: you can see how this feeds the above-outlined chumpatron
asciilifeform: would you send 5% to nigerian scammers if someone offered to pay you 5% more for the trouble?
decimation: worse, they will pay 5% to the scammers, on the understanding that you can one day collect
mircea_popescu: ^ employer matching
decimation: exactly
mircea_popescu: "pour your milk in this hole, we'll pour some more milk after it"
mircea_popescu: always made me think of the 1930s milk pouring exercises
asciilifeform: typically, this comes with a caveat, that the matched $ is yours only after x years of faithful servitude
mircea_popescu: wouldn't those have been great if the farmers didn't have to pour 100% of the milk poured,
mircea_popescu: but if stupid consumers did half of it ? then they could buy it... again.
decimation: the IRS "safe harbor" rule is that as long as you "pay" your janitor 3% in his 401k, you can offer any amount you wish to anyone else in your company

decimation: the problem with Roth plans: "I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it further..."
mircea_popescu: how's taht specific to roth anything ?
asciilifeform: i won't be the least bit surprised when 401k, etc. confiscation is instituted for emigres
asciilifeform: 'betrayed the motherland, sentenced to confiscation'
decimation: well, the roth deal is that you pay tax up front, on the promise that you never pay tax again...

mircea_popescu: see the story of mr perry.
asciilifeform: precisely it.
mircea_popescu: "Plaintiff seeks to make his case solely upon the theory that, by reason of the change in the weight of the dollar he is entitled to $1.69 in the present currency for every dollar promised by the bond, regardless of any actual loss he has suffered with respect to any transaction in which his dollars may be used. We think that position is untenable."
mircea_popescu: make deal with usg to be repaid so and so.
mircea_popescu: get repaid 55%. tough.
asciilifeform: take the money, spend on beer. they can't make you un-drink the beer, at least.

mircea_popescu: the gestapo you gotta pay. else the court may not "think"
decimation: USG pays its employees in its own scrip, and they think it's a great deal
mircea_popescu: decimation no, at the time, it paid people overseas (and select foreign governments)

ozbot: Borrowing from the G Fund (Again) to Offset the Debt Ceiling - FedSmith.com
mircea_popescu: agreements be damned.
decimation: "The G Fund holds approximately 37 percent of all TSP balances held by the 4.6 million TSP participants. As most readers know, the TSP is similar to a 401(k) retirement fund for about 4.6 million current and former government employees and uniformed service members. To make up for the deficit spending by the government, the Treasury has ?suspended reinvestment? or taken assets out of the G Fund to pay for other expenses."
decimation: the bigger story is that 37% of fed retirment money is invested in a "fund" that has returned %0.82 year-to-date.
