Sat Apr 26 17:15:04 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> I mention bitcoin-assets in there as a good place to test ideas and such
Sat Apr 26 17:13:13 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> here's that F2F contract thing I mentioned earlier: http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/one-simple-trick-secure-face-to-face-bitcoin-trades/2014/04/26
Sat Apr 26 17:04:24 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> yeah. I would like to see Service Delivery Day instead is all :P
Sat Apr 26 17:03:00 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> it's not the same as the country becoming independent, it's a holiday about the victory of one faction over another which is used to bolster support for the current ruling party
Sat Apr 26 17:02:25 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> ok certainly pass laws and other stuff was very restrictive. but in the context of electoral politics, this strikes me a bit like Democrats winning in USA then instituting National Freedom from Bush Day
Sat Apr 26 17:00:14 UTC 2014 <fluffypony> HeySteve: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_laws <- I think that alone, which was only repealed in 1986, qualifies as such a severe restriction of freedom that it would not be untoward to say that the abolishment of Apartheid brought freedom to certain groups
Sat Apr 26 16:56:56 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> it wasn't total unfreedom previously, that would imply slavery
Sat Apr 26 16:56:44 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> fluffypony, sure, there's a difference here though in that the ANC tries to keep debate focused on these kinds of liberation narratives to justify its rule
Sat Apr 26 16:52:33 UTC 2014 <fluffypony> HeySteve: yeah, but celebrating a "freedom day" to commemorate the shifting of governmental power is a tradition all over the world - the 'Murkans have Independence Day, for eg.
Sat Apr 26 16:50:40 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> fluffypony, I think this freedom / unfreedom thing is a false dichotomy. it's more like there are degrees of freedom and the balance shifted
Sat Apr 26 15:06:12 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> our intellectual aristocracy in full roar
Sat Apr 26 14:54:14 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> lol is this where the Crimea bet comes from? http://games.usvsth3m.com/the-hobbit/title/2:%20Electric%20Boogaloo
Sat Apr 26 13:58:19 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> if the service is trustworthy, it could lower busywork for the treasurer of projects for eg.
Sat Apr 26 13:57:15 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> don't have much more detail at this point
Sat Apr 26 13:56:58 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> I will know more when the guy publishes it
Sat Apr 26 13:56:39 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> jurov do you know how they do it? I'm guessing it's a bit of clever code but not necessarily something the regular user could use
Sat Apr 26 13:55:35 UTC 2014 <jurov> HeySteve: mining pools do it since forever, no?
Sat Apr 26 13:53:23 UTC 2014 <fluffypony> HeySteve: multi-sig is the solution to that problem
Sat Apr 26 13:51:42 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> ok let's say people have a pre-existing arrangement to divide all BTC income. instead of the income going to one person who must be trusted to then distribute it, it goes to this service (which hopefully we don't need to trust)
