Looks like his dong's in his pants and nobody's around. What do I care if you dry-hump a drain in the middle of nowhere with your shorts on?

Obama & Kerry have made plenty of threats. Obama even tries to use "angry eyes" when he makes them on public TV. I imagine he'll probably start dying his hair soon... wouldn't want to look weak.

There's a surprisingly high level of adoption in Pakistan. Not like 10% of citizens use, but I've met and/or worked with enough BTC users from Pakistan to know it's not a minuscule number.

In US, company is required to send tax forms confirming earnings, even for contractors. AFAIK, companies can't give "tips" - they have to be set in contracts (no clue on ad hoc bonuses). I shouldn't have used "hired"... "contracted." US foreign labor laws are really goofy when I checked... was trying to see if LTB transcription project could properly report taxes with contract workers and whether or not it was even legal to hire them -- informal conversation with immigration lawyer suggested laws on contracting out to non-US citizens without green card could be interpreted either as legal or illegal.

I'd assume it's some asshole kid's revision of the dollar on a string prank. I'd assume they hold the privkey and empty the wallet as soon as they see your eyes light up.

Theymos, how do you handle paying non-US mods? From my weak understanding, it's a super-gray area to hire non-VISA/GC non-nationals to work remotely, even for contract work. Do you send US mods IRS income forms? Is it a MISC form??

Bigger and significantly higher-powered radios, next-gen batteries (LiPo is soooo 2000-aught), built-in pop-out directional antennas, black & white LED screen option where black is "off" to save energy, make screen a module which can be popped in and out -- underneath are basic, super-thin (but still tactile) buttons for taking calls and dialing (or hologram, customizable virtual keyboard if inexpensive), better selection of ports, everything in phone stripped (incl. sensors) or not upgraded to next-gen (keep last-gen tech in consistent production to minimize costs) except radios, processor, memory, and screen.

Nano-printer/scanner would be damn useful, too, even if it only does b&w by burning it into a special paper or something.

ETA: B&W screen option mentioned apparently already exists on S5. Slick. There's an app which attempts something similar on older models, but my old S3 is specifically excluded - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.GalacticNight

Too bad I can't change my username here....

ETA4: Lol... I could've just modified a common compound interest formula. I'm dumb sometimes... Problem solved.

Could someone help me with my math deficiencies?

I need a formula to determine how much a user should receive or spend when selling or buying BTC given BTC price will increase x% for each satoshi purchased, where the user specifies a quantity.

I'm thinking it's something like SatoshisPurchased*PricePerSatoshi^(1+PriceIncreasePctPerSatoshi*SatoshisPurchased).

ETA: Okay... 1BTC... 100,000,000 satoshis. Let's say price is $.00001/satoshi ($1000/BTC) and price increases .00000000005% per satoshi.

100,000,000*.00001^(1+.00000000005*100000000)=$944.06

Okay, so that's wrong.... 100,000,000*.00001^(1+(.00000000005*100000000)) = $1035.14

That looks right. Then to sell... 100,000,000*.00001^(1-(.00000000005*100000000))= $966.05

Price increase/decrease is too high, of course... ... done.  

So... okay - r3wt bought 22M BTC for ~$.20. So price was ~$.000000009/BTC. Under new scheme, it'd cost:
2,200,000,000,000,000*.00000000000000009 ^ (1 + (0.00000000000025 * 2,200,000,000,000,000)) = uhhh, a lot. So... success, I guess. Can tweak %increase/%decrease more... ETA2: -and Price*Qty needs to be made >1. Alright, all set now, I think.

ETA3: So.... wait - how do I figure out what price the final satoshi was purchased at? ((1+PricePerSatoshi)^(1+(PriceIncreasePctPerSatoshi*SatoshisPurchased))-1)? In the r3wt example, it looks like one satoshi would cost $550 after he buys 22M BTC, which seems right. Pretty sure I'm not keeping price > 1 correctly, either... do I need some kind of logic there? If price < 1 (or Price*QtySatoshis for original formula), then do that?

Basically, your miner is sending shares to p2pool which aren't "good enough." It doesn't meet the requirement p2pool set, so p2pool is rejecting the shares, but your mining client is still sending them, apparently ignoring what p2pool is saying is the threshold for a "good enough" share.

Latency issue, I'd guess, or misconfigured mining client.

From p2pool FAQ:
Q: Why do I get lots of "Worker <name> submitted share with hash > target:" in my P2Pool logs? It seems to put a large CPU load on P2Pool.
A: Your miner may not support pool-settable difficulties. It may be a problem if the rate of these messages gets very high (putting more strain on p2pool). Using stratum-proxy or the scrypt version might help.

Yeah. I'm still thinking on solution there. I don't want to try calculating how many BTC should exist, but do want to get some kind of slippage calculation in there to prevent that. Maybe each coin bought or sold simply increases or decreases price by X%... so buying a ton early becomes non-viable. It'd allow the user to manipulate the market, which isn't something I've thought through, so think I'll wait for one of the "1/4" updates -- maybe 000425, with casino in at 00045, backgrounds in at 000475, and less-ugly buttons and boxes for 0005.

ETA: Actually... that's a really simple fix ... only need a few events for it. I forgot I changed the BTC price change formula when I added the adoption trend checkpoints. I was worried if users could manipulate price to be "too high" early on, a BTC would cost $millions by 2011.

ETA2: Lolno, that's not a simple fix.... thinking on it more. Will have something in by 0004, though. Funny how some things are so much easier when users have to generate the data, and some things are much easier generating "their" data. If price increases .5% for each coin bought/sold... .... and that doesn't make any sense, anyway... You could take BTC to $0.  .... there were plenty of times Satoshi could've taken BTC to $0, though, so maybe it's a legit thing to do? Bleeehhhhh.

There are now more events in the p2p lending script group alone than any other single sheet excluding it and contains multiple events multiple times larger in text than any other single event previously existing. As far as variable count goes, p2p lending has nearly as many new variables associated with it as the entire rest of the game. Everything associated with the lending pop-out generates, now (but the formula needs tweaking), so the buttons just have to commit all the generated stuff into a "loan bundle" and the events on when the loan's term expires need to be set up, still, and then all that's left is some minor "housekeeping" stuff and factoring loan gains/losses into the weekly I/O sheet. The user debt scheme should be relatively simple, so I'm still going to try fitting that into 0004 before releasing it.

Thinking about casinos more... provably fair casinos aren't really all that old. I think the game'll start with an unfair and largely unexplained casino - just enter in how much you want to bet, confirm, and then who really knows what the fuck happens... maybe you get 5x payout, maybe nothing, maybe you get a PPUSD code (Hell no, not a real one! )... others unlocked in time. Maybe a simple video poker game later, too.... or whatever you guys want that isn't brain-meltingly complex. ETA: Blackjack's simpler and played by more -- maybe that, instead.

Your city was built on an enormous golf course?

Sounds like a ringing endorsement?

I'm very fat and tall. If you'd like, I could stand at the door and twiddle my beard hair with a threatening glare until something happens.

o.O You must be my NSA shadow. The cruelty toward animals is nuts. Idunno why we conflate innocence with "they don't know better." How do you come out of the womb and think holding meat out toward a hungry animal, then pulling it away when they try to eat is a good idea? Either God's a dick or humans are naturally violent and sadistic (or both). Then she gets bit and cries and it's like... well, what the Hell did you expect to happen when you're an asshole toward something which bites? Don't cry at me, quit bein' an asshole! Idunno... I did the same dumbass shit as a kid. Outside the complete failures, most grow out of it, but it's annoying to read a story about a 5-year-old microwaving a cat or something, and everyone's trying to defend the kid who's being "scarred for life" by people saying only assholes microwave cats -- the kid knew what would happen - they're not that stupid - they're just all little sociopaths when they come out, and as far as I can tell from early childhood, it's the parent's goal to employ *ahem* "enhanced incentive alignment techniques" until they feel what we call empathy.

If adoption taxes/fees ever come within reason here, I think we'll try adopting a kid near the age of reason if we want another... the newborn/infant years seem more like we're just incidental guardians trying to keep them from eating their own shit and falling down stairs. She's starting to "get there," though... reading, making up some interesting stories... She's starting to get to the point where she struggles on purpose, and those are the moments which make it all worthwhile -- those glimmers of time where she's not just learning incidentally from experiences we thrust on her, but actively seeking experiences. She's starting to come to that point where we can start giving her rights and extra privileges, and that's what really excites me, because she'll have a rough framework in her head on what to do with that freedom.
