1 2011-08-27 00:01:32 <sytse> one thing won't *ever* change: the amount of electricity spent on maintaining the bitcoin network will always be around (or maybe a little lower, but not much) the current spot price of the average amount of bitcoins awarded in fees plus generated coins (the latter of which will eventually taper off completely) in the same time unit
2 2011-08-27 00:03:30 <sytse> what will change is that eventually gpu mining will cease, and specialised companies with high-performance fpga or maybe even asic hardware will take over; whenever a more efficient technology arises to generate hashes, any less efficient technology will become unprofitable

7 2011-08-27 00:08:19 <sytse> farming with the efficiency of farming 20 years ago doesn't happen anymore because that would drive you bankrupt
8 2011-08-27 00:08:43 <cjdelisle> yea unless you develop a niche market, organic etc.
9 2011-08-27 00:10:22 <sytse> of course

17 2011-08-27 00:13:14 <sytse> with bitcoins it would be the opposite: mining would only take place in the location in the world where electricity is cheapest, because location doesn't matter for getting the 'produce' somewhere
18 2011-08-27 00:13:26 <cjdelisle> good point
19 2011-08-27 00:13:44 <sytse> ultimately it will become infeasible to generate bitcoins in a first world country
20 2011-08-27 00:13:52 <cjdelisle> I heard england subsidises their mines :P
21 2011-08-27 00:14:27 <sytse> which would also mean that only *large* corporations could turn any profit at all from bitcoin mining

24 2011-08-27 00:15:00 <sytse> hah
25 2011-08-27 00:15:15 <sytse> solar energy is actually expensive
26 2011-08-27 00:15:23 <BitManiac> wut
27 2011-08-27 00:15:25 <sytse> nuclear energy is the bomb ;-)
28 2011-08-27 00:16:11 <sytse> maybe someone will build a nuclear plant some day, just for mining bitcoins, not even connected to anything other than a huge ASIC mining rig ;-)
29 2011-08-27 00:16:20 <BitManiac> lul
30 2011-08-27 00:16:35 <BitManiac> maybe it would be cheaper just to buy bitcoins
31 2011-08-27 00:16:44 <sytse> nah
32 2011-08-27 00:17:33 <sytse> if you can get cheaper electricity than anybody else, and an efficient mining rig, it'll be cheaper than to buy bitcoins.. that's the law
33 2011-08-27 00:17:37 <sytse> the only law of bitcoin ;-0
34 2011-08-27 00:18:50 <sytse> and a risk: if one party managed to get electricity much cheaper than electricity anywhere else in the world, everybody but that guy would stop mining
35 2011-08-27 00:19:33 <sytse> so that guy could stop mining as well, for 99,9999%, because nobody could challenge him, and he would get all the bitcoin fees in the world for practically nothing ;-)
36 2011-08-27 00:20:03 <sytse> (also he'd control the bitcoin network for 100%)
37 2011-08-27 00:20:29 <sytse> and we'd be back to evil corporations, just like the current world ;-)
38 2011-08-27 00:20:32 <iddo> aren't you assuming that the market price would be only a little more than electricity cost?
39 2011-08-27 00:20:33 shadders has joined
40 2011-08-27 00:20:54 <iddo> this assumption is not true for gold mining
41 2011-08-27 00:21:16 <iddo> i.e. market price for gold is much higher that cost of production
42 2011-08-27 00:21:29 <sytse> iddo: yes. But if it wasn't, more people would start mining, or buying more electricity to mine, and electricity cost per bitcoin would rise
43 2011-08-27 00:21:47 <sytse> that's not easily possible with gold

45 2011-08-27 00:22:01 <sytse> (it is happening, of course, but slowly. It can't follow the market as quickly as it could with bitcoins)
46 2011-08-27 00:23:54 <sytse> bitcoins have a mechanism for making them more expensive to mine as more is mined, gold doesn't, it only has the laws of nature which don't change
47 2011-08-27 00:24:44 <iddo> still, you haven't argued why the bitcoin market price should be only constant % more than the cost of production
48 2011-08-27 00:26:09 <iddo> e.g. if the market price is twice the cost of electricity, then you'd want to mine even if electricty is more expensive than in another country
49 2011-08-27 00:26:53 <iddo> i meant small %

53 2011-08-27 00:30:19 <BitManiac> a lot of people can mine bitcoins for free, so any price is going to be profitable for them

68 2011-08-27 00:48:29 <log0s> iddo: that's true, it can be any price at any moment, it just depends on what people are willing to trade for a bitcoin...however, economic theory tells us that as the price increases, making mining more profitable than other ventures, it will attract more investment in mining, which will increase the difficulty and cause the income generated from mining to tend towards cost of mining plus (originary) interest
69 2011-08-27 00:48:35 <BitManiac> if github ultimately controls the Bitcoin client
70 2011-08-27 00:48:40 <BitManiac> who controls github?
71 2011-08-27 00:49:33 <BitManiac> lets say Paypal buys github and deletes all the bitcoin code, then what?
72 2011-08-27 00:50:12 <log0s> BitManiac: someone puts the code up somewhere else
73 2011-08-27 00:50:17 <BitManiac> ok
74 2011-08-27 00:50:23 <BitManiac> next question
75 2011-08-27 00:50:30 <BitManiac> lets say Github is fine and survives
76 2011-08-27 00:50:43 <BitManiac> and Bitcoin becomes reallllly popular
77 2011-08-27 00:50:46 <BitManiac> like super popular
78 2011-08-27 00:50:49 <BitManiac> worth billions
79 2011-08-27 00:50:54 <JFK911> BitManiac: do you work for paypal or BofA
80 2011-08-27 00:51:04 <JFK911> im just wondering who's asking you to plan these things
81 2011-08-27 00:51:05 <BitManiac> what happens when every dickhead in the world starts trying to amend the code
82 2011-08-27 00:51:13 <BitManiac> nobodys asking me
83 2011-08-27 00:51:17 <BitManiac> im just thinking aloud
84 2011-08-27 00:51:19 <JFK911> sorry orders
85 2011-08-27 00:51:43 * BitManiac creates a hat from some spare kitchen foil for JFK911
86 2011-08-27 00:51:46 <BitManiac> here have this
87 2011-08-27 00:52:12 <BitManiac> I mean
88 2011-08-27 00:52:19 <BitManiac> can anyone just decide to release a new version?
89 2011-08-27 00:52:20 <JFK911> already got a wok, its thicker
90 2011-08-27 00:52:23 <BitManiac> or add in a new feature?
91 2011-08-27 00:52:25 <JFK911> sure
92 2011-08-27 00:52:35 <BitManiac> isn't that slightly insecure?
93 2011-08-27 00:52:50 <zipperhead> BitManiac, any idea how git works dude?
94 2011-08-27 00:52:57 <log0s> BitManiac: anyone can release their own version of bitcoin, but then they'd have to convince others to use their version
95 2011-08-27 00:52:59 <JFK911> why? its not like anyone can put it in bitcoin
96 2011-08-27 00:53:02 <zipperhead> or are you just totally guessing here?
97 2011-08-27 00:53:05 <BitManiac> vaguely
98 2011-08-27 00:53:09 <zipperhead> way off.
99 2011-08-27 00:53:26 <BitManiac> what happens then
100 2011-08-27 00:53:37 <BitManiac> who gets to decide if a feature makes it in or out
101 2011-08-27 00:53:45 <JFK911> look at the list of committers for the official bitcoin project

105 2011-08-27 00:54:00 <log0s> BitManiac: not anyone can just add code to the original bitcoin codebase...only one or maybe a few people have direct control over the current codebase, and any modifications to that codebase goes through that person (gavin andresen)
106 2011-08-27 00:54:07 <zipperhead> news*
107 2011-08-27 00:54:10 <BitManiac> ah ok
108 2011-08-27 00:54:14 <JFK911> unless you want to go to say sourceforge and create a project called "bitcoin"
109 2011-08-27 00:54:20 <zipperhead> git.
110 2011-08-27 00:54:21 <JFK911> and then tell other people that's official

118 2011-08-27 00:55:35 <zipperhead> it would be supported by others in the github group

128 2011-08-27 00:56:31 <log0s> BitManiac: until he decides to stop or just can't do it anymore for whatever reason
129 2011-08-27 00:56:37 <BitManiac> if bitcoin has so much power to destroy the status quo

143 2011-08-27 00:58:42 <BitManiac> I just wonder can any one person or group of people ever be trusted with something as important as the bitcoin codebase
144 2011-08-27 00:58:54 <zipperhead> moot point
145 2011-08-27 00:59:01 <BitManiac> really?
146 2011-08-27 00:59:14 <zipperhead> read above... circular arguement
147 2011-08-27 00:59:25 <BitManiac> what argumnet
148 2011-08-27 00:59:30 <BitManiac> I thought it was a question?
149 2011-08-27 00:59:44 <zipperhead> do you own BTC?
150 2011-08-27 00:59:54 <zipperhead> are you interested in buying it?
151 2011-08-27 01:00:00 <BitManiac> what
152 2011-08-27 01:00:01 <BitManiac> coins
153 2011-08-27 01:00:04 <BitManiac> or the project as a whole?
154 2011-08-27 01:00:09 <log0s> BitManiac: anyone can download the codebase (and lots of people have), so they can't restrict access to it...and if the current bitcoin maintainers start slipping malicious code into the codebase, it will likely get noticed, and people will create a different version of bitcoin without that malicious code and people would start using that
155 2011-08-27 01:00:21 <BitManiac> sure sure
156 2011-08-27 01:00:27 <BitManiac> I don't mean malicious per se
157 2011-08-27 01:00:30 <BitManiac> I mean like
158 2011-08-27 01:00:36 <BitManiac> when will it be version 1.0?
159 2011-08-27 01:00:47 <zipperhead> is that a special number?
160 2011-08-27 01:00:51 <BitManiac> who decides what a good minimum transaction fee is?
161 2011-08-27 01:01:01 <BitManiac> who decides whether or not to modify the algo?
162 2011-08-27 01:01:39 <BitManiac> these were pretty inconsiquential decisions 2 years ago
163 2011-08-27 01:01:46 <jgarzik> BitManiac: the miners ultimately decide what is a good minimum transaction fee, though you need clients to relay in order to discover that
164 2011-08-27 01:02:00 <BitManiac> but even now in the embryo stages of BTC each decision has quite a big impact

198 2011-08-27 01:09:10 <BitManiac> who watches the watchmen
199 2011-08-27 01:09:27 <zipperhead> it needs a 'comittee' of sorts...
200 2011-08-27 01:09:36 <zipperhead> something like that
201 2011-08-27 01:09:43 <zipperhead> like they did with the GNU
202 2011-08-27 01:09:46 <zipperhead> project
203 2011-08-27 01:10:02 <BitManiac> ya
204 2011-08-27 01:10:08 <BitManiac> you want to be something like the UN
205 2011-08-27 01:10:16 <BitManiac> I dunno
206 2011-08-27 01:10:17 <zipperhead> http://www.gnu.org/contact/gnu-advisory.html something like this
207 2011-08-27 01:10:27 <BitManiac> or wikipedia
208 2011-08-27 01:10:30 <BitManiac> but with less furries
209 2011-08-27 01:11:04 <zipperhead> wikipedia has dark forces behind it.
210 2011-08-27 01:11:10 <BitManiac> yeah
211 2011-08-27 01:11:12 <BitManiac> furries!
212 2011-08-27 01:11:16 <zipperhead> but I do see your point
213 2011-08-27 01:11:19 <luke-jr> zipperhead: either a committee would have too much power, or be useless
214 2011-08-27 01:11:21 <BitManiac> and wierdos with too much time on their hands
215 2011-08-27 01:11:51 <zipperhead> luke-jr: so what is your suggestion?
216 2011-08-27 01:12:04 <luke-jr> zipperhead: leave regulation to governments
217 2011-08-27 01:12:16 <zipperhead> ah I see... Look where that got us.
218 2011-08-27 01:12:56 <lfm> zipperhead: what do you want anarchy?
219 2011-08-27 01:13:10 <luke-jr> zipperhead: the Fed is private afaik
220 2011-08-27 01:13:15 <zipperhead> no, order out of chos.
221 2011-08-27 01:13:24 <zipperhead> that is _their_ motto.
222 2011-08-27 01:13:28 <zipperhead> is it not?
223 2011-08-27 01:13:35 <lfm> huh?
224 2011-08-27 01:14:27 <iddo> you cannot impose regulations on bitcoin anyway, how could the gov enforce it?
225 2011-08-27 01:14:27 <lfm> oh you think the gvmnt cares about bitcoin
226 2011-08-27 01:14:34 zeta-51b` has quit (Quit: bye)
227 2011-08-27 01:14:42 <zipperhead> gov't aside
228 2011-08-27 01:14:47 <luke-jr> iddo: government does not need to enforce regulations to make them
229 2011-08-27 01:14:57 <zipperhead> I am talking about direction of BTC itself....
230 2011-08-27 01:15:11 <zipperhead> who makes the decisions?
231 2011-08-27 01:15:12 <luke-jr> zipperhead: I don't think it needs a direction.
232 2011-08-27 01:15:13 <iddo> what good is it to have regulation that cannot be enforced?
233 2011-08-27 01:15:22 <zipperhead> so is that your opinion?
234 2011-08-27 01:15:24 <luke-jr> iddo: people comply freely.
235 2011-08-27 01:15:32 <zipperhead> well, it is a code base.
236 2011-08-27 01:15:39 <luke-jr> zipperhead: no, there is no "one" codebase
237 2011-08-27 01:15:43 <zipperhead> so someone has to make a decision
238 2011-08-27 01:15:44 <zipperhead> no?
239 2011-08-27 01:15:51 <zipperhead> no github?
240 2011-08-27 01:15:52 <BitManiac> there should be a portion of every transaction fee that goes to the bitcoin government
241 2011-08-27 01:15:55 <BitManiac> taxes
242 2011-08-27 01:16:01 <iddo> luke-jr: they didn't comply with the order not to own gold...
243 2011-08-27 01:16:04 <luke-jr> zipperhead: there are many codebases, one currently having a large marketshare.
244 2011-08-27 01:16:05 <BitManiac> and those taxes are used to pay the bitcoin coders
245 2011-08-27 01:16:16 <BitManiac> and regulate the bitcoin laws!
246 2011-08-27 01:16:17 <lfm> bitcoin is just a buncha nerds thinking they are doing something more than what it is
247 2011-08-27 01:16:23 <zipperhead> ok, so you mean branches of the orig repo?
248 2011-08-27 01:16:23 <luke-jr> zipperhead: anyone can (and should) fork it
249 2011-08-27 01:16:32 <zipperhead> i git it
250 2011-08-27 01:16:37 <luke-jr> zipperhead: some are forks of that one, some are not
251 2011-08-27 01:16:41 <zipperhead> i have been using git for 5 years
252 2011-08-27 01:17:03 b4epoche_ has joined
253 2011-08-27 01:17:05 <BitManiac> I think github is a particularly weak link in the chain if I'm honest
254 2011-08-27 01:17:11 <zipperhead> i dont
255 2011-08-27 01:17:15 <BitManiac> it's fine for now
256 2011-08-27 01:17:15 <zipperhead> git is excelent
257 2011-08-27 01:17:26 <zipperhead> nothing is better
258 2011-08-27 01:17:37 <BitManiac> but I don't think it's fair to subject a small social coding site to the pressures of international financial markets
259 2011-08-27 01:17:38 <zipperhead> IMO
260 2011-08-27 01:17:42 zeta-51b has joined
261 2011-08-27 01:18:23 <zipperhead> well, lets not forget this was the work of a few people (or a *single* man)
262 2011-08-27 01:18:26 <zipperhead> originally
263 2011-08-27 01:18:28 <BitManiac> yes
264 2011-08-27 01:18:32 <BitManiac> but it's growing
265 2011-08-27 01:18:33 <luke-jr> GitHub is a problem IMO, but not because it's a weak link
266 2011-08-27 01:18:34 <BitManiac> exponentially
267 2011-08-27 01:18:46 <luke-jr> I use Gitorious
268 2011-08-27 01:18:51 <luke-jr> GitHub's TOS are not acceptable
269 2011-08-27 01:18:55 <zipperhead> ok... iam speaking of git
270 2011-08-27 01:19:00 <BitManiac> well indeed
271 2011-08-27 01:19:08 <zipperhead> care not about the 3rd party stuff
272 2011-08-27 01:19:10 <iddo> zipperhead: what do you mean by regulating the direction of BTC itself? the protocol is followed by all honest clients, unless there's a need for a fork it doesn't change
273 2011-08-27 01:19:17 <zipperhead> you can use git by itself
274 2011-08-27 01:19:18 <zipperhead> with dropbox...
275 2011-08-27 01:19:20 <zipperhead> moot.
276 2011-08-27 01:19:51 <luke-jr> iddo: committee or not, the protocol(s) are inevitably chosen by developers implementing them, and users voting with their usage
277 2011-08-27 01:20:03 <zipperhead> I just think we need a website for bugs, suggestions, ideas.... etc...
278 2011-08-27 01:20:05 <zipperhead> something
279 2011-08-27 01:20:07 <zipperhead> to submit
280 2011-08-27 01:20:14 <zipperhead> progressibr
281 2011-08-27 01:20:17 <zipperhead> progressive
282 2011-08-27 01:20:17 <luke-jr> zipperhead: I agree. I've had plans to make one for a while
283 2011-08-27 01:20:26 <zipperhead> I am ALL in on BTC
284 2011-08-27 01:20:33 <luke-jr> but I don't have the time to maintain it
285 2011-08-27 01:20:35 <zipperhead> I have a vested interests
286 2011-08-27 01:20:50 <iddo> but that already happened, no? the protocol remains constant, unless there's need for fork
287 2011-08-27 01:20:55 <zipperhead> I might create tis
288 2011-08-27 01:21:25 <zipperhead> I just want to see BTC succeed.
289 2011-08-27 01:21:33 <zipperhead> honestly
290 2011-08-27 01:21:34 theymos has joined
291 2011-08-27 01:21:36 <luke-jr> my plan was to extend BitGit to project hosting, bug tracking, etc
292 2011-08-27 01:21:44 <luke-jr> kinda like Launchpad, but for git
293 2011-08-27 01:21:47 <luke-jr> and bitcoin-specific
294 2011-08-27 01:21:48 <zipperhead> maybe a simple rails project
295 2011-08-27 01:21:50 <zipperhead> on heroku
296 2011-08-27 01:21:52 <luke-jr> ugh
297 2011-08-27 01:21:56 <luke-jr> Ruby = fail
298 2011-08-27 01:21:59 <BitManiac> will your vested intrests encourage you to try to increase the immediate price of a bitcoin though, or to facilitate bitcoin's use as a currency?
299 2011-08-27 01:22:02 <zipperhead> ok dude
300 2011-08-27 01:22:22 <zipperhead> you and me are not going to agree here.
301 2011-08-27 01:23:02 <zipperhead> You're into Pythong?
302 2011-08-27 01:23:07 <luke-jr> not really
303 2011-08-27 01:23:11 <zipperhead> hehe
304 2011-08-27 01:23:18 <zipperhead> just playing
305 2011-08-27 01:23:22 GMP has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
306 2011-08-27 01:23:25 <luke-jr> I'd prefer Perl usually, but PHP seems simplest for web nonsense
307 2011-08-27 01:23:29 <luke-jr> but anything's better than Ruby
308 2011-08-27 01:23:43 <zipperhead> have you ever *used* ruby luke?
309 2011-08-27 01:23:54 <luke-jr> no, don't want to ever install it
310 2011-08-27 01:23:57 <phantomcircuit> ruby is nice if you're writting something once
311 2011-08-27 01:24:01 <zipperhead> or just read about it?
312 2011-08-27 01:24:09 <zipperhead> hehe
313 2011-08-27 01:24:17 <luke-jr> zipperhead: I read the dependency/install size and decided I didn't want any more bloat
314 2011-08-27 01:24:18 <zipperhead> man, you guys...
315 2011-08-27 01:24:19 <luke-jr> :p
316 2011-08-27 01:24:32 <phantomcircuit> the language changes so frequently and they deprecate things so often that nobody in their right mind would use it for anything that had to run for more than a month
317 2011-08-27 01:24:43 <zipperhead> so what do u web-program in luke? Phpee?
318 2011-08-27 01:24:47 <luke-jr> anyhow, I have a minimal BitGit up on http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin right now
319 2011-08-27 01:24:52 <luke-jr> and bitgit.org registered, but not configured
320 2011-08-27 01:25:01 <zipperhead> anyway...
321 2011-08-27 01:25:02 <luke-jr> if someone wants to take it further, I can provide the hosting at least
322 2011-08-27 01:25:06 <phantomcircuit> i wrote a ror program which has needed deprecation fixes once a month for about 6 months now
323 2011-08-27 01:25:07 <phantomcircuit> so
324 2011-08-27 01:25:09 <phantomcircuit> fuck that
325 2011-08-27 01:25:13 <luke-jr> zipperhead: usually I don't web-program if I can avoid it :P
326 2011-08-27 01:25:49 <zipperhead> right... so I am just saying.. back to the point.. .we need to be progressive. Lots of good ideas never getting heard...
327 2011-08-27 01:26:03 <zipperhead> Bitcoin is in the wild
328 2011-08-27 01:26:10 <zipperhead> lots of people using it
329 2011-08-27 01:26:20 <luke-jr> IMO, Launchpad's bug tracker is nice-- let's you make bugs that affect multiple projects and stuff
330 2011-08-27 01:26:20 <zipperhead> what are some of the features avg users what?
331 2011-08-27 01:26:31 <zipperhead> avg users want*
332 2011-08-27 01:26:32 <luke-jr> but it's Bazaar-affiliated
333 2011-08-27 01:27:34 <luke-jr> zipperhead: faster confirmations?
334 2011-08-27 01:27:44 <luke-jr> but that's pretty much impossible with Bitcoin 1.0
335 2011-08-27 01:27:54 <zipperhead> just thinking.. because.. that was BitManiac point... An I have to agree. I mean, other stuff..
336 2011-08-27 01:28:10 <zipperhead> It would be really interesting to see what the 'community' wants...
337 2011-08-27 01:28:27 <zipperhead> that way we dont end up with ZipperHeadCoin (or SolidCoin) ...
338 2011-08-27 01:28:32 <zipperhead> whatever
339 2011-08-27 01:28:40 <luke-jr> I think rational numbers for amounts are pretty important
340 2011-08-27 01:28:49 <luke-jr> at least in the backend/protocol
341 2011-08-27 01:29:33 <b4epoche_> yea, luke-jr, what's up with you and the rational number stuff, re the mailing list?
342 2011-08-27 01:29:34 <zipperhead> Then... new ideas could be elected... and worked on. Bitcoin is way too cool to fall behing
343 2011-08-27 01:30:12 <luke-jr> b4epoche_: it provides a lot of future-proof flexibility at low cost
344 2011-08-27 01:30:34 asher^ has joined
345 2011-08-27 01:30:53 <lfm> luke-jris bitcoin 1.0 out yet? I thot it was still 0.3
346 2011-08-27 01:31:24 <luke-jr> lfm: I'm talking about the block chain/network, not any specific client
347 2011-08-27 01:31:39 <theymos> I could see expanding precision to 16 decimals, but more than that probably won't be useful for more than 50 years.
348 2011-08-27 01:31:40 <zipperhead> If you ask me, bitcoin is at a curtial point right now. The USD/Bond crapping... Gold/Silver questionable... Bitcoin is a viable alt... and a lot of people see that.. but many are still wondering what BitManiac is wondering...
349 2011-08-27 01:31:44 <luke-jr> theymos: decimal sucks
350 2011-08-27 01:32:01 <zipperhead> who/what is in charge of everything...

352 2011-08-27 01:32:43 <zipperhead> Just saying... it gets asked to me all the time. I cansay Gavin.. is that true?
353 2011-08-27 01:33:00 <luke-jr> zipperhead: nobody
354 2011-08-27 01:33:02 <luke-jr> that's the point
355 2011-08-27 01:33:12 <lfm> curtail point?
356 2011-08-27 01:33:22 <zipperhead> sure
357 2011-08-27 01:33:28 <luke-jr> if somebody was in charge, we just replace the Fed with someone else
358 2011-08-27 01:33:34 <zipperhead> you dont think the world is looking at BTC?
359 2011-08-27 01:33:40 <zipperhead> for the answer?
360 2011-08-27 01:33:58 <zipperhead> or .... something not yet defined?
361 2011-08-27 01:34:01 <luke-jr> Jeff seems to have taken a "spokesperson" role for Bitcoin for now
362 2011-08-27 01:34:06 <zipperhead> what will enter...
363 2011-08-27 01:34:27 <b4epoche_> lfm: crucial point
364 2011-08-27 01:34:29 <lfm> oh you think bitcoin is the answer to the economic problems? hehe, a new currency isnt what is needed.
365 2011-08-27 01:34:31 <JFK911> its not who's in charge more like who's the ringleader
366 2011-08-27 01:34:35 <JFK911> rules are made
367 2011-08-27 01:34:38 <JFK911> the thing is not managed
368 2011-08-27 01:34:56 <zipperhead> lfm: lets just ride the USD out?!!!! ?
369 2011-08-27 01:35:05 <zipperhead> what are you saying?
370 2011-08-27 01:35:26 <lfm> currencies are just a way of keeping score. they are not the whole game
371 2011-08-27 01:35:31 <BitManiac> agreed
372 2011-08-27 01:36:31 <BitManiac> bitcoin is a great payment mechanism, but it's not going to defeat the banks immediately
373 2011-08-27 01:36:47 <BitManiac> that will take sweeping reforms from govt
374 2011-08-27 01:36:57 sytse has joined
375 2011-08-27 01:37:04 <BitManiac> it'll be there in waiting though
376 2011-08-27 01:38:16 <lfm> no kidding, and if bitcoin does become a major currency, the banks will just start keeping score with bitcoins instead of dollars. they could switch over pretty darn quick if they felt like it and they would hardly need to change anything about the way they do business
377 2011-08-27 01:38:48 <zipperhead> but then they couldnt function as a 'bank' eg, fraq reserve lending...et al.
378 2011-08-27 01:38:57 <theymos> Well, they'd need to give only profitable loans.
379 2011-08-27 01:39:00 <lfm> zipperhead sure they could
380 2011-08-27 01:39:05 <iddo> but people still have to pay their taxes in dollars...
381 2011-08-27 01:39:20 <zipperhead> create credit out of BTC?
382 2011-08-27 01:39:27 <lfm> you can do fractional reserve lending with btc just as easy as $
383 2011-08-27 01:39:59 <log0s> zipperhead: they did fractional reserve banking with gold
384 2011-08-27 01:40:00 <zipperhead> well, the point is... that is what got us into trouble... another cigar though
385 2011-08-27 01:40:24 <zipperhead> Well, they used paper for the gold... that is what created the $
386 2011-08-27 01:40:35 <lfm> you cant get rid of banks and bankers that easy
387 2011-08-27 01:40:36 <zipperhead> it was just an i-owe-u
388 2011-08-27 01:40:47 <zipperhead> (for gold)
389 2011-08-27 01:40:56 <theymos> You could do fractional reserve with physical gold, too.
390 2011-08-27 01:41:08 <zipperhead> Was that not 'satoshi's'
391 2011-08-27 01:41:15 <zipperhead> whole reason for btc?
392 2011-08-27 01:41:18 <lfm> haha no
393 2011-08-27 01:41:20 <theymos> No.
394 2011-08-27 01:41:48 <zipperhead> So, you think he just wanted to create a cool program?
395 2011-08-27 01:41:59 <zipperhead> like bittorrent
396 2011-08-27 01:42:01 <luke-jr> â¦
397 2011-08-27 01:42:07 <luke-jr> an alternative to gold
398 2011-08-27 01:42:17 <lfm> well it is pretty cool as programs go dont you think
399 2011-08-27 01:42:33 <theymos> I think he wanted to prove the concept, and maybe also take back some control from government.
400 2011-08-27 01:42:34 <zipperhead> No.. it is a tool.
401 2011-08-27 01:42:35 <iddo> but now the fed can increase the money supply in order to prevent the fractional reserves from deflating, they couldnt do it with gold or bitcoins
402 2011-08-27 01:42:44 <zipperhead> as I see it
403 2011-08-27 01:43:19 <cjdelisle> the difference between fractional reserve with btc or gold and fractional reserve with paper is with btc and gold, the banks which get in over their heads collapse individually, with paper everything gerts bailed out and bailed out until everything collapses all together in a hiperinflationary implosion.
404 2011-08-27 01:43:24 <noagendamarket> yes they can they can introduce inflatacoin fork
405 2011-08-27 01:43:30 <zipperhead> based off a problem we had with the central banks/ reserve system...
406 2011-08-27 01:43:56 <lfm> zipperhead: is just an experiment is decentralized currency. not controlled by centralized authority. Not sure it will be able to reamin that way but is is a cool experimant anyway
407 2011-08-27 01:44:25 <zipperhead> Oh, I am sure it will remain.
408 2011-08-27 01:44:33 <zipperhead> no question about that
409 2011-08-27 01:44:37 <b4epoche_> by the time all of this happens the politicians will be in control of the protocol change decisions anyway
410 2011-08-27 01:44:59 <zipperhead> they dont control shit./
411 2011-08-27 01:45:15 <lfm> the us gvmnt could take it over if it wanted to. remember the 50% rule? that is still in reach of many governments
412 2011-08-27 01:45:25 <zipperhead> study 'exclusive legisilative authority' and written law to learn about that
413 2011-08-27 01:45:28 taelot has joined
414 2011-08-27 01:46:06 <zipperhead> might send your head into a tail spin...
415 2011-08-27 01:46:16 <b4epoche_> no, they'll control the client that the majority of the idiots use, and hence control bitcoin
416 2011-08-27 01:46:16 <theymos> lfm: Satoshi thought that governments would compete at that point, and the market among governments would still allow transactions most of the time.
417 2011-08-27 01:46:52 <lfm> theymos: yup, thatd be nice, we can still hope
418 2011-08-27 01:47:06 <iddo> theymos: at what point? now?
419 2011-08-27 01:47:29 <lfm> iddo if one gvmnt tried to take over bitcoin
420 2011-08-27 01:47:38 <iddo> ahh
421 2011-08-27 01:47:39 <zipperhead> I just believe that we have something that is real, and it is up to us to make this work. Satoshi did his part... MtGOx, mybitcoin...have been hacked... Bitcoin HASNT...
422 2011-08-27 01:47:45 <zipperhead> it is a GREAT system
423 2011-08-27 01:47:58 <zipperhead> just need to work for the average joe.
424 2011-08-27 01:48:11 <zipperhead> so many people want in

428 2011-08-27 01:48:47 <zipperhead> Well why not just keep it command line?
429 2011-08-27 01:48:47 <theymos> I think it would have been better if growth had not been so explosive. Then maybe the client and protocol could have been polished more.
430 2011-08-27 01:48:52 <b4epoche_> average joes will use the system the government decides
431 2011-08-27 01:48:54 <zipperhead> figgit
432 2011-08-27 01:49:03 <luke-jr> theymos: true
433 2011-08-27 01:49:41 <luke-jr> IMO that was ruined the moment people started exchanging other money for it
434 2011-08-27 01:50:07 <zipperhead> Well, this is your hobby then right?
435 2011-08-27 01:50:41 <luke-jr> for me, this is part of my job as a father âº
436 2011-08-27 01:50:46 <iddo> luke-jr: what's the alternative? you expect everyone who wants bitcoins to buy mining equipment?
437 2011-08-27 01:50:54 <zipperhead> ok. point well taken
438 2011-08-27 01:50:56 <luke-jr> iddo: testnet-style
439 2011-08-27 01:51:14 <iddo> what do you mean?
440 2011-08-27 01:51:14 <luke-jr> iddo: CPU mining and charity
441 2011-08-27 01:51:41 <iddo> charity? like bitcoin faucet?
442 2011-08-27 01:51:44 <theymos> Satoshi's original plan was to build exchanges and stores into the client using other network/crypto technology. This is why it had not command-line interface or RPC for a long time: services were not supposed to be independent from the client. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if this policy had not been changed.
443 2011-08-27 01:51:45 <zipperhead> But I want to believe in this as a currency that we can use... I and about 100K others. And it can be. Why couldn't it?
444 2011-08-27 01:51:56 <luke-jr> like when people come on here and say they want some coins, so someone sends them 10k
445 2011-08-27 01:52:35 <luke-jr> zipperhead: it can be, but things might have been better if it had matured more under the hood first
446 2011-08-27 01:52:48 <zipperhead> Ok... well
447 2011-08-27 01:52:53 <zipperhead> what now?
448 2011-08-27 01:52:58 <lfm> zipperhead: you CAN use it
449 2011-08-27 01:53:11 <zipperhead> obviously.. I DO USE IT!
450 2011-08-27 01:53:17 <zipperhead> An I love it
451 2011-08-27 01:53:30 <iddo> theymos: exchanges into the client? how could you exchange dollars?
452 2011-08-27 01:53:33 <zipperhead> just saying... we need to come together as a community
453 2011-08-27 01:53:39 <lfm> so no need for the religious ferver
454 2011-08-27 01:53:40 <zipperhead> new ideas.
455 2011-08-27 01:53:57 <luke-jr> iddo: as in, webapps suck
456 2011-08-27 01:54:06 <zipperhead> maybe I am going out of my realm here.. just saying.
457 2011-08-27 01:54:26 <luke-jr> iddo: Bitcoin Market is a good example of an app that could be builtin and p2p
458 2011-08-27 01:54:27 <lfm> iddo like builtin ebay style things
459 2011-08-27 01:54:37 <theymos> iddo: It would match people up and track reputation, I suppose.
460 2011-08-27 01:54:40 <luke-jr> or Bitcoin-OTC
461 2011-08-27 01:55:17 <iddo> but how would you send dollars in technical sense? paypal? private wire transfers?
462 2011-08-27 01:55:33 <luke-jr> iddo: Bitcoin Market is PayPal
463 2011-08-27 01:56:15 <lfm> iddo dollars is just another category of things you can buy and sell using btc
464 2011-08-27 01:56:54 <luke-jr> hmm
465 2011-08-27 01:56:58 <luke-jr> ebay-like exchange would be interesting
466 2011-08-27 01:57:23 <luke-jr> instead of picking a price, say "I got $5, goes to the highest bidder by tomorrow"
467 2011-08-27 01:57:40 <luke-jr> or "I want 5 BTC, goes to the lowest bidder by next week"
468 2011-08-27 01:57:51 <Diablo-D3> but
469 2011-08-27 01:57:55 <Diablo-D3> thats what a stock market is
470 2011-08-27 01:58:03 <Diablo-D3> you're all bidding concurrently for a limited pool of items
471 2011-08-27 01:58:28 <luke-jr> but you have to guess what the highest bid will be
472 2011-08-27 01:58:32 <lfm> Diablo-D3: ya but dollars could be just another thing you buy and sell on a ebay style system is his point
473 2011-08-27 01:58:54 <luke-jr> and if you guess too high, you never sell
474 2011-08-27 01:58:58 <Diablo-D3> lfm: yeah, but Im saying the auction never ends
475 2011-08-27 01:59:07 <luke-jr> and if you guess too low, you don't get the best deal
476 2011-08-27 01:59:15 <lfm> why not? it can end whenever you want
477 2011-08-27 01:59:30 <Diablo-D3> lfm: no
478 2011-08-27 01:59:38 <Diablo-D3> because there are always people buying and selling btc
479 2011-08-27 01:59:55 <Diablo-D3> the ebay one off model is nonsensical for this
480 2011-08-27 01:59:55 wolfspraul has joined
481 2011-08-27 01:59:58 <lfm> I have this $5 bill here, I sell it to the highest bid I get before monday
482 2011-08-27 02:00:27 <Diablo-D3> lfm: yes, which means someone writes a program that takes all buys/sells and automates it

485 2011-08-27 02:00:35 <lfm> Diablo-D3: fine
486 2011-08-27 02:01:02 <asher^> using an ebay type system instead of current exchanges copies the only real annoying feature of bitcoin - having to wait for a transaction
487 2011-08-27 02:01:38 <lfm> asher^ and you dont wait for your ebay deliveries?
488 2011-08-27 02:02:08 <asher^> lfm i do, but id prefer not to. same with buying bitcoin
489 2011-08-27 02:02:23 coderrr`brb is now known as coderrr
490 2011-08-27 02:04:45 <lfm> asher^ we started this idea as being built into bitcoin client. a single interface could do it all is all Im saying, no need for radiccly different paradyme for each commodity
491 2011-08-27 02:05:23 <lfm> sell $s just like you sell any other widget
492 2011-08-27 02:06:33 <lfm> the client could also build in the escrow functions

499 2011-08-27 02:11:21 <marktraceur> Hey, folks, I have a bit of a question. I'm using python and the python-bitcoinrpc library in a web app. We're running into conversion errors with Decimal objects, saying they aren't JSON-serializable. Has anyone figured out what the solution to that problem is? We tried converting to long ints, then back to floats, but then it gives a blank JSONRPCError.
500 2011-08-27 02:11:56 <lfm> marktraceur: use doubles, not floats
501 2011-08-27 02:12:05 <marktraceur> lfm: Will try, thanks
502 2011-08-27 02:12:25 <luke-jr> marktraceur: and use ints internally
503 2011-08-27 02:12:34 <lfm> marktraceur: and convert to 64 bit ints for any calculations
504 2011-08-27 02:12:38 <luke-jr> lfm: Python only has one kind of floating-point
505 2011-08-27 02:12:55 <lfm> oh ok
506 2011-08-27 02:13:25 <marktraceur> lfm: You don't even know python! :P
507 2011-08-27 02:13:35 <marktraceur> No, that obviously didn't work
508 2011-08-27 02:13:41 <luke-jr> marktraceur: really, the Decimal nonsense is just overhead
509 2011-08-27 02:13:42 <zipperhead> FFI: http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html
510 2011-08-27 02:14:38 <luke-jr> marktraceur: just pass all amounts from JSON-RPC into round(INPUT * 1e8), and when sending do OUTPUT / 1e8
511 2011-08-27 02:14:43 carter_ has joined
512 2011-08-27 02:15:18 <luke-jr> you can do int(round(INPUT*1e8)) for a tiny performance boost
513 2011-08-27 02:15:28 <lfm> you still would need to be real carefull doing calculations on them
514 2011-08-27 02:15:43 <carter_> does anyone know of a good article that explains how to write a miner?
515 2011-08-27 02:15:44 <marktraceur> OK, more different question
516 2011-08-27 02:15:56 <luke-jr> carter_: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Getwork
517 2011-08-27 02:16:13 <marktraceur> I'm passing a float into the sendtoaddress function, now, and it seems to work
518 2011-08-27 02:16:22 <marktraceur> But then, like I said, it raises an empty JSONRPCError
519 2011-08-27 02:16:52 * luke-jr never encountered that

523 2011-08-27 02:19:52 <marktraceur> Hm, it doesn't seem that Spesmilo uses ServiceProxy?

527 2011-08-27 02:20:57 <marktraceur> Right
528 2011-08-27 02:20:59 <luke-jr> oh, that IS ServiceProxy

540 2011-08-27 02:28:01 <luke-jr> marktraceur: no, you want to divide by 1e8 to send to the server
541 2011-08-27 02:28:18 <luke-jr> marktraceur: core_interface works with a sanitized integer API, and converts it to float if necessary
542 2011-08-27 02:28:20 <marktraceur> Ah, yes, I see, it's just spread out
543 2011-08-27 02:28:36 <luke-jr> marktraceur: Spesmilo still has support for an old patch which makes JSON-RPC work in ints too

700 2011-08-27 08:11:06 <cjdelisle> For the trusting people, that kind of an interface would be a huge hit even if it was on a website. emailable chacks would be a big deal.

704 2011-08-27 08:19:01 orientaljiunq has joined
705 2011-08-27 08:19:21 <FellowTraveler> cjdelisle, OT is designed around the concept of "low trust servers". Meaning the server shouldn't be ABLE to change your balance, or steal your bitcoins, or "get hacked" and cause any harm.
706 2011-08-27 08:19:50 <FellowTraveler> Unfortunately, many in the bitcoin community still have not learned their lesson on that point â as evidence see recent events at MtGox and MyBitcoin.
707 2011-08-27 08:19:52 <arcatan> TuxBlackEdo: yeah (i don't know if cron likes zero-prefixed minutes, though)
708 2011-08-27 08:20:32 <cjdelisle> yeap
709 2011-08-27 08:20:59 <cjdelisle> Do you think that the server could be replaced by some kind of blockchain?
710 2011-08-27 08:21:06 <TuxBlackEdo> arcatan, it it bad to just run the crond.hourly every six hours instead? the only other bash script in there is mcelog.cron, is it ok to run that every six hours instead of every hour?
711 2011-08-27 08:22:13 AStove has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
712 2011-08-27 08:22:26 <FellowTraveler> cjdelisle, a blockchain is a useful tool which runs p2p. Chaumian blinding (untraceable cash) requires a server. So the best I can do, while providing chaumian cash, is invent low-trust servers that are able to interact with the blockchain, yet that cannot individually steal people's bitcoins.
713 2011-08-27 08:22:50 <cjdelisle> hmm indeed
714 2011-08-27 08:22:55 AStove has joined
715 2011-08-27 08:23:43 <FellowTraveler> I have written extensively on my wiki and on the bitcoin board about this idea of using voting pools between OT servers, in order to eliminate the current risk where any single server can just disappear with everyone's money.
716 2011-08-27 08:24:05 <FellowTraveler> And yes, for that to work, requires interaction with the blockchain as well as the BTC script language.
717 2011-08-27 08:24:14 <arcatan> TuxBlackEdo: mcelog checks for hardware errors. i've never used it, but i'm under the impression that it's supposed to be run even more often than hourly.
718 2011-08-27 08:24:58 <arcatan> though, looking at its homepage, they recommend running it as a daemon and not as a cronjob

It's the ricardian contracts, the chaumian blinding, the destruction of acct history, the markets, cheques, and other instruments, and someday soon, the bitcoin voting pools.

729 2011-08-27 08:30:37 <FellowTraveler> when it comes to storing my money.
730 2011-08-27 08:31:18 <FellowTraveler> What steps are MtGox actively taking to insure that I don't have to trust them, in order to safely store my BTC on their site?
731 2011-08-27 08:31:32 <cjdelisle> Yup. That is a complex consept which a lot of people will likely have trouble grasping.
732 2011-08-27 08:32:38 <FellowTraveler> I think once everyone's money disappears a few times, they will start to grasp it.
733 2011-08-27 08:32:44 <FellowTraveler> I'll keep merrily working away in the meantime.
734 2011-08-27 08:32:54 <cjdelisle> Once it's commonplace, it's obvious... "Hey, why don't you use OT, what do you want my money for so bad?" but until then it will be an uphill climb.

741 2011-08-27 08:37:53 <FellowTraveler> Here's why:
742 2011-08-27 08:38:21 <FellowTraveler> Because even if the server inflates currency (say, using a dummy account), it cannot SPEND that currency without allowing it to slip into the general population of accounts.
743 2011-08-27 08:38:26 <phantomcircuit> http://www.c4l.co.uk/colocation/1u-colocation
744 2011-08-27 08:38:26 <phantomcircuit> lol
745 2011-08-27 08:38:27 <FellowTraveler> Once that happens, it will turn up on an audit.
746 2011-08-27 08:38:30 <phantomcircuit> connection 10MB
747 2011-08-27 08:38:34 <phantomcircuit> the hell does that mean
748 2011-08-27 08:38:35 <FellowTraveler> Therefore, real-time auditing will instantly stop any such business.
749 2011-08-27 08:39:04 <phantomcircuit> ok now how would you implement that?
750 2011-08-27 08:39:35 <FellowTraveler> Basically that means for Bitcoin-based currencies on OT (where the "issuer" becomes a voting pool) that means the other servers in the pool must share info on transactions, in order to perform real-time auditing.
751 2011-08-27 08:40:07 gjs278 has joined
752 2011-08-27 08:40:13 <FellowTraveler> For normal (gold based) issuers, the OT server must share info with the Issuer to perform that audit.
753 2011-08-27 08:40:31 <FellowTraveler> Either way, you either do it once per day, with rollback ability ââ or you do it in REAL TIME, so no one can ever get out of whack.
754 2011-08-27 08:40:44 <phantomcircuit> ok and now if the servers and issuer work in collusion...?
755 2011-08-27 08:42:01 <FellowTraveler> 1) there is nothing to stop physical (gold) issuers from stealing, if they are not physically audited â it is the job of the market to decide which issuers they trust, based on auditing procedures, jurisdiction, etc.
756 2011-08-27 08:42:30 <phantomcircuit> yeah that seems fairly obvious
757 2011-08-27 08:42:33 <FellowTraveler> 2) For Bitcoin, the voting pool acts as the "issuer". In THAT case, then you would need 9 out of 10 servers (or whatever the vote threshold is set to) to collude
758 2011-08-27 08:42:44 <phantomcircuit> it is possible to make sure a bitcoin issuer has not yet stolen funds fairly trivially
759 2011-08-27 08:42:59 <FellowTraveler> If there are, say, 50 servers in the pool, and 45 of them collude to steal from the pool, then YES they would be able to do that.
760 2011-08-27 08:43:10 <phantomcircuit> i assume the servers need to be authorized by the issuer
761 2011-08-27 08:43:19 <FellowTraveler> yes.
762 2011-08-27 08:43:33 <FellowTraveler> But in today's world, on sites such as mybitcoin and mtgox, you only need ONE server to "collude" or "get hacked" and you are in a world of hurt.
763 2011-08-27 08:43:39 <phantomcircuit> so that seems fairly trivial in reality for all the servers authorized by an issuer to be compromised
764 2011-08-27 08:43:46 <FellowTraveler> I think that 45 out of 50 is an improvement.
765 2011-08-27 08:43:57 <phantomcircuit> yes and no
766 2011-08-27 08:44:23 <FellowTraveler> Just because 50 servers have had a currency issued, on all 50, by the same issuer, doesn't mean that hacking that issuer gives you power over those 50 servers.
767 2011-08-27 08:44:28 <FellowTraveler> You'd still have to hack all 45 of them.
768 2011-08-27 08:45:10 <FellowTraveler> And you'd still have to trust that 45 of them aren't secretly owned by the same entity.
769 2011-08-27 08:45:27 <phantomcircuit> that last point was what i was thinking
770 2011-08-27 08:45:46 <FellowTraveler> Use a large pool?
771 2011-08-27 08:45:49 <FellowTraveler> That's the bitcoin solution it seems.
772 2011-08-27 08:46:05 <FellowTraveler> 1000 servers.
773 2011-08-27 08:46:06 <phantomcircuit> the thing i would be afraid of would be placing trust in something which can appear much more secure than it really is
774 2011-08-27 08:46:13 <FellowTraveler> That is fair.
775 2011-08-27 08:46:14 <phantomcircuit> at least with something like mtgox people understand their risk
776 2011-08-27 08:46:43 <FellowTraveler> Perhaps people should only trust a pool where all the server owners are publicly known, in their jurisdictions
777 2011-08-27 08:47:01 <FellowTraveler> instead of pools full of anonymous servers.
778 2011-08-27 08:47:18 <phantomcircuit> it's much easier to take people than you'd think
779 2011-08-27 08:47:29 <phantomcircuit> at least enough that it would stand up to internet police
780 2011-08-27 08:48:35 <MrTiggr> :D
781 2011-08-27 08:48:44 <Blitzboom> FellowTraveler: i remember you were the only socialist in the forum ⦠has your ideological stance changed?
782 2011-08-27 08:48:49 <Blitzboom> offtopic, i know :P
783 2011-08-27 08:49:04 <Blitzboom> just wondering
784 2011-08-27 08:49:07 <phantomcircuit> and i think i should mention that i have experience in faking people for hilarity
785 2011-08-27 08:49:16 <FellowTraveler> BlitzBoom, you must be remembering some other individual, since I do not believe in group rights over individual rights.
786 2011-08-27 08:49:32 <Blitzboom> aah, i did
787 2011-08-27 08:50:52 <FellowTraveler> A group is only a collection of individuals. If an action results in the violation of the rights of specific individuals, in return for some esoteric "group" benefit, I view that the same as splitting a baby in half.
788 2011-08-27 08:51:13 <FellowTraveler> The purpose of OT is to better help protect people's rights.
789 2011-08-27 08:51:18 <FellowTraveler> I do not trust banks to do so.
790 2011-08-27 08:53:01 <Blitzboom> what does OT stand for?
791 2011-08-27 08:53:26 <Blitzboom> also i agree with your approach
792 2011-08-27 08:53:46 <Blitzboom> trust should not be required
793 2011-08-27 08:53:55 <FellowTraveler> I am glad to see that cryptography and mathematics seem more suited to protecting individual freedoms than to protecting Rousseau's social contract, which perhaps is a sign of which is favored more by natural law.

800 2011-08-27 09:00:38 <FellowTraveler> Seems like, if you just balance the size of the pool, so that the amount of money you could get by stealing it, is much smaller than what 45 server operators out of 50 are willing to lose in transaction fees by continued operation, that would help.
801 2011-08-27 09:00:50 <FellowTraveler> They have to balance the benefit of stealing the pool, against the loss of all the transaction fees that were coming in.

872 2011-08-27 11:36:55 <fingster> right
873 2011-08-27 11:37:59 <fingster> we discussed bitcoin express for iOS here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=31362.0
874 2011-08-27 11:38:18 <kinlo> fingster: they refused it because bitcoins are illegal?
875 2011-08-27 11:38:26 <kinlo> (according to apple)
876 2011-08-27 11:38:35 <fingster> illegal
877 2011-08-27 11:38:38 <fingster> :(
878 2011-08-27 11:39:01 <fingster> apple says: Aug 25, 2011 04:58 PM. From Apple. 22.1 We found that your app contains content related to bitcoins - or facilitates, enables, or encourages an activity - that is not legal in all the locations in which the app is available, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
879 2011-08-27 11:40:23 <fingster> Why? Any law in US forbids bitcoin?
880 2011-08-27 11:41:42 <fingster> Is it illegal in Japan or elsewhere?
881 2011-08-27 11:42:13 <Eliel> maybe china?

1138 2011-08-27 21:23:33 <iocor> so claiming transactions don't contain the public keys, instead you need the previous transaction?

1141 2011-08-27 21:24:21 <cjdelisle> really all that needs to happen is you supply information which makes the sigScript evaluate in the scripting engine to "true".
1142 2011-08-27 21:24:44 <cjdelisle> and the sigScript is from a transaction which was paid to you

1161 2011-08-27 22:03:37 <cacheson> UukGoblin: not that I know of. something with an opinion about the 3 minute vs 10 minute blocks from a knowledgeable dev would be a good start
1162 2011-08-27 22:04:37 <jtaylor> 3 minute blocks have the advantage that getting the required confirmation level has lower variance
1163 2011-08-27 22:05:13 <jtaylor> fixed transaction fees are probably bad, will lead to people embedding lots of data in the blockchain for almost nothing
1164 2011-08-27 22:05:17 <UukGoblin> well there's also the 10%-up, 400%-down difficulty updates as "pump-n-dump prevention"
1165 2011-08-27 22:05:24 <cacheson> jtaylor: true, but I suspect it won't scale well
1166 2011-08-27 22:05:29 <jtaylor> I think thats stupid

1174 2011-08-27 22:06:19 <jtaylor> I think
1175 2011-08-27 22:06:47 <cacheson> UukGoblin: gmaxwell mentioned something about retargetting difficulty too often allowing miners to pull off clock skew shennanigans
1176 2011-08-27 22:07:07 <cacheson> I think it was on the dev mailing list actually
1177 2011-08-27 22:07:31 <cacheson> though it was in response to any idea to just recalculate difficulty every block, so maybe it doesn't apply to SC
1178 2011-08-27 22:07:48 <UukGoblin> cacheson, mhm, would be nice to have it all gathered up because people are getting a false sense of solidness with this solidcoin
1179 2011-08-27 22:08:04 <cacheson> UukGoblin: definitely
1180 2011-08-27 22:09:43 <iddo> i bet most people treat sc as pump and dump, they just wanted to be early adopters

1184 2011-08-27 22:10:17 <iddo> probably the author of sc pumped the price on the exchange at start, by selling his bitcoins
1185 2011-08-27 22:10:39 <sytse> I wonder why people think they can take bitcoin on for world domination
1186 2011-08-27 22:10:40 <cacheson> iddo: I think it's got more to do with the bounties
1187 2011-08-27 22:10:49 <sytse> especially cheap ripoffs like solidcoin
1188 2011-08-27 22:10:54 <iddo> i saw this thread for example, it's treated as pump and dump: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/jppkn/i_made_4_btc_on_a_5770_last_night_mining_these/
1189 2011-08-27 22:11:00 <cacheson> iddo: seems to have been set up better than the ixcoin bounties were

1193 2011-08-27 22:12:58 <iddo> bounties are paid as sc? so people want it while the price is still pumped
1194 2011-08-27 22:13:52 <cacheson> iddo: yeah. the "blog/tweet about this" bounties seem to have have had a big effect though
1195 2011-08-27 22:14:03 <cacheson> also, I don't remember if ixcoin had any bounties for regular merchants
1196 2011-08-27 22:14:29 <iddo> people will eventually realize that the so-called advantages are actually drawbacks
1197 2011-08-27 22:14:49 <jtaylor> I think sccoin is valuable as an experiment in shorter block times
1198 2011-08-27 22:15:02 <jtaylor> which do have an advantage, (but not the one said on the site)
1199 2011-08-27 22:15:04 <iddo> the best way to demonstrate to people that sc is pump and dump is to start some sc2 :)

1203 2011-08-27 22:17:25 <iddo> i also think that sc is valuable, to get people to realize that nmc/ix/sc don't add anything compared to btc
1204 2011-08-27 22:17:52 <cacheson> makomk: gooncoin? ;)
1205 2011-08-27 22:18:42 <iddo> makomk: try 1min confirmations, that will get the sc author to sweat a little about explaining the drawbacks of fast blocks

1210 2011-08-27 22:20:56 <iddo> fast block probably expose the protocol to sybil attacks by isolating nodes, his faq about broadcasr reaching all nodes in few seconds is regular/average case, the interesting question is to analyse worst-case attacks

1212 2011-08-27 22:22:05 <b4epoche_> the problem with this is that no one will attack it until it's worth their time...
1213 2011-08-27 22:22:24 <makomk> Yeah, that's always the problem...
1214 2011-08-27 22:23:19 <iddo> anyone knows if double-spending attacks were ever tried with bitcoin ?
1215 2011-08-27 22:23:40 <jtaylor> with mybitcoin apparently
1216 2011-08-27 22:23:45 <jtaylor> they only required one confirmation
1217 2011-08-27 22:23:51 <jtaylor> cost them 75.000 btc
1218 2011-08-27 22:23:53 <sytse> some attacks with bitcoin were successful right?
1219 2011-08-27 22:24:10 <jtaylor> but not sure if that was really a double spend or some other bug
1220 2011-08-27 22:24:14 <jtaylor> in their site
1221 2011-08-27 22:24:23 <sytse> requiring a patched bitcoin being released immediately to get the 'hacked' block chain out of the current block chain
1222 2011-08-27 22:24:33 <cacheson> jtaylor: did they even require one? when I tested out their merchant interface, it seemed instantaneous

1225 2011-08-27 22:24:51 <jtaylor> I just read one cofirmation in their press release
1226 2011-08-27 22:24:57 <iddo> jtaylor: i think most people are skeptical of the official mybitcoin story, and i don't think any evidence was ever presented?
1227 2011-08-27 22:25:01 <b4epoche_> cacheson: there was speculation they were accepting zero confirms
1228 2011-08-27 22:25:38 <sytse> iddo: I was just about to say that..

1230 2011-08-27 22:26:25 <sytse> I'm inclined to believe a) that the 'official' mybitcoin story was actually the official mybitcoin story, and b) that that story was part of the truth
1231 2011-08-27 22:26:25 <iddo> the occam razor explaination for mybitcoin is that the owner just took the bitcoins and ran away:)
1232 2011-08-27 22:26:44 <sytse> but not everyone believes that, and they're right not to
1233 2011-08-27 22:26:49 <sytse> iddo: \o/
1234 2011-08-27 22:27:25 <sytse> occam's razor ftw
1235 2011-08-27 22:27:31 <jtaylor> thereis another low: never attribute to malice which can be equally explained by incomptence
1236 2011-08-27 22:27:47 <jtaylor> Hanlon's razor
1237 2011-08-27 22:28:34 <makomk> Hanlon obviously never spent much time in the Bitcoin community
1238 2011-08-27 22:28:43 <sytse> anyway, occam's razor has been put to the test and failed in the LHC

1244 2011-08-27 22:30:18 <sytse> conspiracy theorists are idiots
1245 2011-08-27 22:30:56 <sytse> which is not to say there is malice in conspiracy theorists; there usually isn't, by Hanlon's razor :D
1246 2011-08-27 22:31:13 <jtaylor> that cern news is exagerating
1247 2011-08-27 22:31:33 <jtaylor> there are tons of susy models to be tested
1248 2011-08-27 22:32:11 <jtaylor> interesting that the result comes from lhc-b, the experiment which is expected to be the least important ^^
1249 2011-08-27 22:32:56 <sytse> of course it's exaggerated
1250 2011-08-27 22:33:01 <sytse> it's the bbc
1251 2011-08-27 22:33:03 <sytse> it's journalism

1255 2011-08-27 22:40:26 <cjdelisle> and it valuumed up all of the money in Europe

1269 2011-08-27 22:43:16 <jtaylor> creating a black hole would be awesome btw, it would be proof for more than 3 space dimensions
1270 2011-08-27 22:43:19 <noagendamarket> from mybitcoin
1271 2011-08-27 22:43:22 <sytse> just turn back the clock a little and everything will be okay, as long as the security leak is fixed =]

1280 2011-08-27 22:45:25 <cjdelisle> It's like that movie total recall where there was some elaborate machine left over from some alian race on mars. Everyone assumes when they find an elaborate machine that it does something really important.
1281 2011-08-27 22:45:31 <noagendamarket> that needs the hash power only a black hole can provide
1282 2011-08-27 22:46:06 <cjdelisle> That's the folly of people's minds, noone ever considers the possiblity that the machine doesn't work, and it never did, it just makes sparks because the people who built it were idiots.
1283 2011-08-27 22:46:17 <jtaylor> ^^
1284 2011-08-27 22:46:39 <sytse> cjdelisle: which is kind of funny, since the most elaborate machine on the planet (the internet) is mainly used for porn ;-)

1286 2011-08-27 22:47:25 <cjdelisle> So in a way, it's a gigantic trolling operation and the victims are the alians who come here in a million years and study the long lost race.
1287 2011-08-27 22:48:18 <cjdelisle> And try feverishly to get the super machine to do what it was originally intended to do, not realizing that it was originally intended to troll alchiologists.
