mircea_popescu: They tell it all: how I am wiping a nation of friendless creatures out of existence by every form of murder, for my private pocket's sake. But they never say, although they know it, that I have labored in the cause of religion at the same time and all the time, and have sent missionaries there (of a "convenient stripe," as they phrase it), to teach them the error of their ways and bring them to Him who is all mercy and
mircea_popescu: love, and who is the sleepless guardian and friend of all who suffer. They tell only what is against me, they will not tell what is in my favor.
mircea_popescu: They tell how England required of me a Commission of Inquiry into Congo atrocities, and how, to quiet that meddling country, with its disagreeable Congo Reform Association, made up of earls and bishops and John Morleys and university grandees and other dudes, more interested in other people's business than their own, I appointed it. Did it stop their mouths? No, they merely pointed out that it was a commission composed
mircea_popescu: wholly of my "Congo butchers," "the very men whose acts were to be inquired into."
mircea_popescu: turns out the first gaddafi was actually the king of belgium
mircea_popescu: and it further turns out that the method has been in use for well over 150 years.

mircea_popescu: i guess that's where it traces properly huh.
mircea_popescu: of course, before they sunk the south, they sunk the so called "tavern lobby"
asciilifeform: mr mold actually did some passable work on the subject. he ended by zipping the stratagem into a single sentence, 'kick the beast till it bites, then shoot it'
mircea_popescu: the prohibition was not merely idiocy. it was a particular sort of vindictive idiocy, where the pencildicks got upset that politics was set by men, around beer
mircea_popescu: and so kept telling the women about how politics should "properly" be set by old men around pulpits.
asciilifeform: this, afaik, is immensely well documented.
mircea_popescu: in a singular fit of stupidity, women went for it.
mircea_popescu: perhaps aided by the very homosexual attitudes of teh men at the time.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the 'kick the beast till it bites, then shoot it' observation is valid. i propose the solution is for the beast to threaten indefinitely.
asciilifeform: works, sorta, for north kr.
asciilifeform: for now.
mircea_popescu: extract compensation under threat, make sure compensation > kicking. let the cycle wear itself out.
mircea_popescu: it's actually how bismarck beat england into a pulp, and created the first germany.
mircea_popescu: just requires a lot of patience.
mircea_popescu: "they will resurrect and give new currency to such things as those, or to any other things that count against me, but they will not mention any act of mine that is in my favor. I have spent more money on art than any other monarch of my time, and they know it. Do they speak of it, do they tell about it? No, they do not. They prefer to work up what they call "ghastly statistics" into offensive kindergarten object lesson
mircea_popescu: s, whose purpose is to make sentimental people shudder, and prejudice them against me. They remark that "if the innocent blood shed in the Congo State by King Leopold were put in buckets and the buckets placed side by side, the line would stretch 2,000 miles; if the skeletons of his ten millions of starved and butchered dead could rise up and march in single file, it would take them seven months and four days to pass a

mircea_popescu: hm. turns out i don't actually understand what merged mining actually is.
mircea_popescu: i had thought different chains had to be forked to mm because of their different origin. but that's not what happens in merged mining at all.
mircea_popescu: what happens is that a hash of a block of the lower chain is inserted in bitcoin blocks, and then the lower chain accepts this as "just as good" proof.

mircea_popescu: At any given time there is a certain amount of demand for a Bitcoin like currency to make transactions. That need doesn’t increase with more competition. That means that the transactional demand for Bitcoin is really the same as the transactional demand for all substantially similar forms of payment. As more currencies are competing to fill the same demand they actually reduce the demand for the other currencies as t
mircea_popescu: hey become more widely used.
mircea_popescu: This means that ultimately, to the extent that currencies are interchangeable to end users, merged mining does not increase the overall security of the networks. The demand for currencies drives the price (and thus the value of the reward). Increased demand for any given currency results in decreased demand for others, lowering the incentive to mine for the other currencies. The total incentive is a function of total d
mircea_popescu: emand for all Bitcoin like currencies.
mircea_popescu: Except now competing currencies can market themselves as “as secure as Bitcoin but with lower transaction fees.” In other words there is a race to the bottom among competing currencies to offer the lowest transaction fees, because lowering the transaction fee doesn’t hurt the security of the network in comparison to the other merged mining networks. Users, following their own self interest, will adopt the currenc
davout: so, if i understand correctly, the way this thing works is that it attracts moar miners through the bonus mechanism, which in turn contributes to killing-off gavincoin amirite
mircea_popescu: y with the lowest transaction fees as long as it has the same security of the competitors.
mircea_popescu: This will increase the price of the currency with the lowest transaction fee (because demand for the currency is higher), and decrease the price of the currencies with higher transactions fees (because demand for those currencies is dropping as it is being filled by demand for the competing currency). Because the currencies with the higher transaction fees were the ones generating the incentive to mine, overall incenti
mircea_popescu: ve to mine will diminish. As long as a currency’s mining is merged with the freeloading currency, it will be powerless to increase incentives by imposing mandatory transaction fees.
mircea_popescu: The result will be a decrease in mining incentive, a decrease in mining, and ultimately all networks that allow merged mining will become insecure.

mircea_popescu: the principal utility of this thing is to guarantee the general public the ability to split its coins on the two chains

davout: s/gavincoins/gavincoin txes/
mircea_popescu: something like that
mircea_popescu: actually you're right huh, it doesn't need to be trustless and that "send to pool" step is gunk.
mircea_popescu: it *could* just look for dblspent txs that made it on gavinchain and prioritize them
davout: yep

mircea_popescu: the notary keeps a list of all the items it was sent a certain way.
mircea_popescu: you're free to sign whatever matter a similar way, but it won't be thus notarized. it will just be your own mock-up of the process.
mircea_popescu: which is fine, but as far as i see toothless.
davout: well, in that case it doesn't really make sense to me that the notary doesn't GPG-sign
Apocalyptic: the content has to be made public and witnessed by others at the time it's timestamped
mircea_popescu: it does make sense. because the trust does not derive from a robotic application of a gpg seal.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i got a meeting, we'll have to continue this debte in a few hours.
davout: more from the fact that folks you trust are looking at deeds being timestamped
davout: amirite
davout: also there was another thing regarding deedbot, if all deeds are simply concatenated before being hashed into a bitcoin private key, that means anyone watching the process taking place can deduce the bitcoin private key that's going to be generated, and claim the coins that'll be sent there

davout: but if it's really like 1btc/year worst case you might as well consider it as burned
Apocalyptic: undata, ? the purpose is that everyone can hash the bundle and verify the address indeed matches
undata: Apocalyptic: yeah, that ruins that without later revealing the salt
davout: Apocalyptic: the idea is to reveal the salt, but only after the bitcoin has been claimed back from the bundle-related addy, not keep it secret forever
ben_vulpes: mats: "pizza", "chump change" you pedantic nerd
undata: the two transations thing seems fine
Apocalyptic: davout, claimed back by whom ?
davout: mats: 1000 btc used to also be hardly a pizza
davout: Apocalyptic: by deedbot
undata: davout: you could just wait to upload after the second transaction confirms
Apocalyptic: afaik ben_vulpes is correct, it's a feature that icentivies 3rd parties to verify
Apocalyptic: so you would not want deedbot to take it back
davout: ^ that sounds like something good
ben_vulpes: mats: do you not get the pizza reference?
undata: Apocalyptic: ah
davout: if someone pops in here one day and says "o i can't pick up deedbot's crumbs anymore" you have a problem somewhere

mircea_popescu: <TomServo> Am I crazy for suggesting that assbot be subordinate to gribble until the exchange of ratings is sorted out? << why would it be ?
BingoBoingo: I've just assumed until it sorts out that rating twice is generally the best practice for most ratings
TomServo: mircea_popescu: Things seemed to be getting messy with the drama earlier. Having to rate in two places.
mircea_popescu: well obv that's optional. as the wot decentralizes, one can be part of as many / all of them.
mircea_popescu: that they talk to each other is a convenience, and i guess best practice, but not really a necessity.
mircea_popescu: actually i guess it depends on teh wisdom / celerity of teh admins currently involved if the future will hold it as best practice or just you know, that thing that might have been useful but never took off.
BingoBoingo: Sure. I for example entered the Rozal rating on both WoTs because the information is immidiately useful to both #bitcoin-assets as lulz material and #bitcoin-otc as a leper's bell around the person's neck.
mircea_popescu: makes sense
kakobrekla: basically ba wot is lulz is what you are saying
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: In this case. DOn't see the dude around here, so I only know him noa for the laffs

pete_dushenski: we want to send you toys!
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i'm going to the third conference, foo
pete_dushenski: well now you are...
ben_vulpes: you see the girl's sister's wedding is important enough to shift babymaking around, but not con3
ben_vulpes: but can't really say yo
ben_vulpes: letting biology do its thing
pete_dushenski: that's a fun game at least :)
ben_vulpes: myeah
ben_vulpes: HAVE FUN NO PRESSURE NOTHING RIDING ON THE OPERATION
ben_vulpes: getting creative. it's a blast, honestly.
pete_dushenski: lol probably stressful at times but you have to roll with the punches
pete_dushenski: it's not like lady v is 35yo and it's crazy crunch time
pete_dushenski: might as well enjoy these final months/years of peaceful sleep
pete_dushenski: and dink life
ben_vulpes: dink < meh
ben_vulpes: perhaps you missed the part of the log where i disclosed that lady v is on my personal payroll
pete_dushenski: i guess it depends whether your personal payroll includes personal cheques or just payments in kind ;)
ben_vulpes: personal cheques would defeat the purpose; then i'd have to pay taxes on money i'd already have paid taxes on.
asciilifeform: what's it mean to have a pet on payroll even.
pete_dushenski: employee
pete_dushenski: professional services rendered
mats: papa vulpes
pete_dushenski: i mean, it's possible
mats: adorbs
pete_dushenski: probably -ev tho
asciilifeform: why does a pet need money.
mats: handbags.
asciilifeform: spambags ?
kakobrekla: to bring in food. at least in my case.
asciilifeform almost failed to read 'handbags' because it lodged in his skullcase's spam filter
kakobrekla hates going to the store.
asciilifeform would have pet fetch food but it would require teaching pet to drive and issuing a vehicle
ben_vulpes: yeah well there you go
ben_vulpes: mine has her own
ben_vulpes: and does the cooking too
asciilifeform: cooking - yes
ben_vulpes: easily delegable all sorts of household tasks
ben_vulpes: girl basically runs the household
ben_vulpes: no reason to not provide adequate expense accounts to ensure everything gets done
ben_vulpes: wait - skullcase?
kakobrekla: here you dont need a car to go to the store.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: srsly, how often does one see word 'handbag' outside of spam.
kakobrekla: actually it would take longer with the car than by foot.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: the only thing one can reliably get to where i live, without a motor, is 'convenience stores' which largely sell recycled food
mats: must be nice living in a first world country
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: woah. colour.
kakobrekla: its sorta famous place, lots of pics.
mats: looks idyllic
kakobrekla: nuff of spamming
kakobrekla: !up felipelalli
felipelalli: Can I write an article in Portuguese to qntra.net? Someone can translate it to English to me and I make the final review?
kakobrekla: ping mircea_popescu BingoBoingo
felipelalli: ok! Thank you kakobrekla
kakobrekla: actually i was pinging them for their attention for you
kakobrekla: just sit down and wait till someone appropriate comes around
felipelalli: thank you! Let me ask another thing: wouldn't nice if this page (default 404): http://qntra.net/anything/ (where anything can be anything) was linked somewhere? Like "Search" or "Category" (without the message "Well this is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?")? This page is very useful because it shows the categories and the search. I couldn't find a link to search/category page.
assbot: Page not found | Qntra.net ... ( http://bit.ly/17ZEKCL )
kakobrekla: i think cazalla edits the wp
mike_c: why do you want to write in portuguese?
mike_c: i believe english is strongly encouraged. from what I remember when the guy wanting to write in italian showed up.
mats: i imagine its his native tongur
mats: tongue* blasted touchscreen
mike_c: reasoning is along the lines of, "the only people you are reaching is the people in italy who haven't bothered to learn english"
mats: the net must be a boring place for people who can't read the big three
kakobrekla: you mean js css and html ?
mats: ofc
mike_c: kako, when are we buying our tickets to BA for april? it's getting late.
kakobrekla: you should do comedy i think
asciilifeform: kakobrekla will go ?
mike_c: i am trying to twist his arm.
kakobrekla: !up felipelalli
felipelalli: mike_c: because it is my native language and my English is not so good. But I want to write it in Portuguese to someone translate it to me to English, and I make the final review just to see if anything was misundertood.
kakobrekla: you english seems fine
mike_c: yeah.. not sure who is going to do that translation for you
kakobrekla: i mean, fine enough for english draft at least
mike_c: ^ i agree. write it in english and get that reviewed.
felipelalli: thank you! : ) I'm gonna try it.

felipelalli: mike_c: ah! Ok.
felipelalli: mike_c: I want to do an overview of the Bitcoin image in Brazil. I want to show how almost everybody here thinks it is a scam. But for this I use a professional statistical research that costs a fortune.
felipelalli: *I want to use
felipelalli: I want to hire a statistical company to make a distributed properly research.
kakobrekla: i agree, its a scam.
kakobrekla: no stat tools needed.
mike_c: not even a good scam. price goes down all the time.
kakobrekla: i dont think it ever went up
felipelalli: are you kidding, right? :)
mike_c: so, if you want to do this research but have not yet, what is the article going to say?
felipelalli: I want to write one, just like a dream. Not sure if I will accomplish.
kakobrekla: well get to work, dreams wont dream themselfs!
mike_c: ah. well, hit the streets, get 50 random brazilians to answer a survey. the results of that might be worth an article.
mike_c: heh, 50 brazilian. that's a lot.
kakobrekla: there arent that many?
felipelalli: no, I had worked in a statistical company, if you say to them that you made that, they gonna kill you! :)
felipelalli: the number doesn't matter, but the distribution.
mike_c: well, it's just a survey. confidence interval is +- 2 brazilian
TheNewDeal: ;;ident
gribble: Nick 'TheNewDeal', with hostmask 'TheNewDeal!~TheNewDea@unaffiliated/thenewdeal', is not identified.
mats: a what? >30 s'all you need
felipelalli: no. If I go to slams it will be one result, if I go to downtown, another totally different.
mike_c: 30 brazilian?
kakobrekla: i think he is saying 1 brazilian is enough
kakobrekla: and extrapolate
mats: you're not gonna let that go huh mike_c
mike_c: oh god.. the accent in my head is killing me. hilarious

kakobrekla: felipelalli come up with a draft and show it to qntra people is your best bet
felipelalli: kakobrekla: thank you! I'll try it.
mats: kakobrekla being surprisingly nice and helpful
kakobrekla: go fuck yourself
mats: :(
felipelalli: but maybe you are right, spend money on it can be waste of money. maybe a simple survey can give me the results I need.
kakobrekla: aww cmon mats a little joke.
mats: im sensitive
kakobrekla: then i wont hug you
mats: felipelalli: def a waste. what's software gonna do that you can't replicate by hand?
mike_c: i'll give mats a brazilian hugs
felipelalli: waste of money if I hire that company.
mats: not to say there wouldn't be a valid use case. just, what's the point?
felipelalli: I have to go, nice to meet you guys. hugs from Brazil.
kakobrekla: lol, authentic brazil hugs
kakobrekla: ok good luck

mircea_popescu: i mean yugoslovakia
mircea_popescu: felipelalli so what did you want to talk about ?
mircea_popescu: mats: adorbs << lol. yeh.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: and does the cooking too << i remember that part.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i believe english is strongly encouraged. from what I remember when the guy wanting to write in italian showed up. << well, nobody speaks italian. brazil speaks portuguese. i don't directly see a problem with it, if the coverage's any good.
mircea_popescu: but there'd have to be some sort of serious upfront commitment to it. one article now and again isn'treally worth the hassle.
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: But I want to write it in Portuguese to someone translate it to me to English, and I make the final review just to see if anything was misundertood. << this is a non-starter. the person doing the translation can just write their own stuff directly. you're not famous or anything, why'd you imagine someone'd be bothered translating you specifically ?

mircea_popescu: whassat ?
mats: vidya game store
mircea_popescu: i get that part
mats: o, hes doing a reenlistment ceremony to reup his contract
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: I want to hire a statistical company to make a distributed properly research. << there's perhaps better uses to that capital, whatever you'd be spending. seeing how the value of asnwering the "what does brazil think" on whatever topic isn't really that great. i guess it could be a useful demonstration of methodology etc, but that needs some sort of a plan, won't do much as just a shot in the dark.
mats: From the pre-close panel at Shmoocon yesterday: "We used to be smarter than the Feds, it used to be a joke, how dumb they are. The NSA and FBI have a lot of smart people working for them now, I think it may be the other way around these days."
mats: shmoocon was meh this year, though.
mats: although James Forshaw's talk was pretty good. i can't seem to find slides online...
mats: i think attendees were dazzled by the reproduced ANT tools
mats: michael ossmann is the man.

mircea_popescu: this entire "forget how the machines work we'll make a legal representaton of how they SHOULD work and then hold you to respect that whether you knew it or not" is such nonsense.
