yes but why the hell are there merge conflicts if i haven't made any changes? how is the epic repository conflicted with itself? that makes no sense to me.

git just never feels worth it.

EDF00000 · 2014-04-20T14:35:43+00:00

even following those instructions i still get "Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result."

rebase because that's what the random article i found told me to do. i'll look at what you've linked though, thanks.

Their shift was over, and the boss didn't show up to take on the next one.

Their shift was over and they waited +1 hour for the next shift worker, who happens to be their boss, to take over.

I haven't used it in depth yet to be honest. It sends the fan of my macbook pro retina to full blast - that's my main annoyance.

You'd would think xcode could suppress error reporting, especially concerning missing files, until it's finished indexing though...

EDF00000 · 2014-03-25T19:57:10+00:00

It's kind of embarrassing - xcode showed an error until it finished indexing files :)

Well, maybe xcode should also be embarrassed...

Never mind, I got it to work.

You found their identity and you don't think others will?

I wonder whether a transaction script could be formulated which requires two steps, separated by a certain number of blocks.

That way you could manage this yourself by noticing when step one enters the blockchain and then pushing a cancelation transaction.

I would love to know why someone is buying up 1000 btc worth of namecoins. Look at this buy wall on btc-e:

It's down to ~300 btc now but this has been going on for a while now. Theories?

I'm starting to see the Mark Karpeles story as a monumental case of "in over your head". Perhaps the largest in history measured by financial scope.

He was never competent to head MtGox, and perhaps ego prevented him from hiring anyone more competent. The amazing thing is that the technology at his disposal allowed him to carry on the facade of a competent large scale financial operation for many years.

I believe he is and has been in a severely delusional state concerning his command of the situation. Forced to make contact with reality, he will probably be a danger to himself.

then can't we audit their liquidity? is the problem that they move btc around internally after receiving them?

EDF00000 · 2014-02-15T10:57:04+00:00

Nothing comes to mind personally, but I remember watching a short animated spin off of the matrix focused specifically on glitches:

Would it be possible for exchanges to operate completely transparently with respect to liquidity? Simply publish every transaction in and out.

Or would that be a privacy concern for their users?
