00:19 mircea_popescu Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?

00:23 Vexual might just mean desktop, i dunno
00:23 Vexual what movie is it?
00:23 mircea_popescu a man for all seasons.
00:24 mircea_popescu not a very good take-down, in retrospect. scofield says "laid flat" and it serves.
00:28 Vexual if you think you are a state you prolly are a state, skinner said that
00:29 Vexual definately was the phrasing on inspection
00:30 mircea_popescu Naphex: Posts about people paying 28,000$ for mining equipment and still not delivering weeks after deadline. is it just me or thats a hell of a lot money to be pissing people off for << not so lulzy. they're not even the first romanian bunch.
00:30 mircea_popescu and do you remember the hungarian lolset back in 2012 ?
00:32 mircea_popescu "...but there is also additional circumstantial evidence that GHash.IO have bad actors:
00:32 mircea_popescu Not closing registration as their pool is approaching a (visible) 51%
00:32 mircea_popescu Not charging fees to incentivize more pool diversity"
00:33 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: PrimeAsic?
00:33 mircea_popescu yeah dude, they should break up their thing for your comfort. god forbid the fucktarded miners all gather on one pool shouls smarten up.
00:33 mircea_popescu no, the pool must suicide for their sake
00:33 mircea_popescu there should be a "beat internet people for bitcoin" service.
00:33 mircea_popescu id prolly spend hundreds.
00:33 Vexual why would a successful pol ever try to 51%? to get cheap ebay shit?
00:33 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo, ya
00:34 mircea_popescu Vexual, to become the butt of every nitwit's conspiracy theories.
00:34 mircea_popescu and don't tell me anyone has higher goals in life, it's not true.
00:34 Vexual really where would someone go to do a 51?
00:35 Vexual it would take incmpetence to cop it
00:35 Vexual theres a lot of it atround i guess
00:36 mircea_popescu davout: is it proved? because it sounds like they'd have more to lose by passing on the block reward << as best as it could be discerned it was more probably a shitty excuse by the dice site in question.

06:38 pankkake I don't understand what that means at all
06:39 xmj pankkake: OS, web application, bla, something new.
06:39 pankkake so they updated the software before the demo, when the old version was working?
06:40 xmj bingo.

07:04 Naphex if you wanna credit the customers
07:04 Naphex even if its bitcoin
07:04 Naphex in basics you just keep bitcoin as a guarantee and set a max limit for a month on a customer visa/master
07:04 Naphex and then enjoy the risks

07:05 davout no, the correct way is to use 3d secure and reject cards that don't get you a proper liability shift even with 3ds
07:05 davout either way that's not what the convo was about :-)
07:05 Naphex i wouldn't count 3dsecuire as ireversible
07:05 davout it is, if you know what you're doing
07:05 Naphex probably but in the end your only guns will be laywers&politics
07:07 davout that's true for a lot of things

07:52 mircea_popescu i dunno about it being stupid.
07:52 mircea_popescu so you get hungry. who asked you ? shut up and fuck you. be hungry, and suffer.
07:52 pankkake yes, but after that, you're going to resume your bad habits, and gain again
07:52 mircea_popescu whoever told the current crop of imbeciles that pain avoidance is a legitimate goal of the thinking mind really did a number of them
07:52 mircea_popescu no wonder they'll swallow any con. after that one, what else is there to really con them about ?
07:52 mircea_popescu no you are not.
07:53 mircea_popescu this is why yo usuffer : so it hurts you so badly yuou become a different person.
07:53 mircea_popescu this is the importance of pain in human life. it changes who you are. substantially, definitively.
07:53 mircea_popescu !up B51Num1
07:54 pankkake it does, but I doubt it works for losing weight
07:54 mircea_popescu why is that ?
07:54 pankkake just empirical evidence
07:54 mircea_popescu obviously you doubt. everyone all the time doubts, cause their interest is alligned that way. pain fucking hurts.
07:54 mircea_popescu put the fatty in a cage, keep her there until she's acceptable weight,
07:54 mircea_popescu put her back in there if she tips the scale again.
07:54 pankkake I don't even try to argue about diets with girls anymore. I figure they just like to be hungry for a few weeks and then eat shit again
07:55 mircea_popescu heh.

08:02 pankkake xmj: arguing with mp requires a degree in popescuism, and I'm not sure anyone managed to finish it

08:05 dub a degree of popsecuity
08:05 mircea_popescu you should see the screaming matches that errupt in my board meetings every while or so.

08:48 xmj HAH
08:50 pankkake 0.9.1 makes me lol. nothing changed except version of openssl, which only affects broken platforms with bundled dependencies
08:50 pankkake but then linux distros didn't update to it, and users wonder why it doesn't have the latest
08:50 xmj I'm waiting for openbsd to release libressl-portable.
08:50 xmj can't wait to replace openssh-portable :]
08:51 mircea_popescu the exact way in which the various distros do the updating is imo the best way to diagnose usg moles in foss.
08:52 mircea_popescu one of the few points which lends itself to statystical analysys.
08:52 pankkake what about the debian "let's replace random data by zeros" guy?
08:52 mircea_popescu i did say statistical.
08:52 xmj let's buy some options.
08:53 pankkake arguably this was because openssl was doing very weird things
08:53 mircea_popescu "The attack can only be performed between a vulnerable client *and* server." followed by "OpenSSL clients are vulnerable in all versions of OpenSSL." for great winj, and then "Servers are only known to be vulnerable in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-beta1."
08:53 mircea_popescu someone should tell me this ALSO was accidental.
08:54 mircea_popescu or to quote myself,
08:54 mircea_popescu "I didn’t quote or link because I support OpenSSL or their efforts. I do not. For one thing I do not believe they are honest, for the other I do not believe they are competent. In either case I do not believe the project should survive, or has any further utility. All those involved should, in my considered opinion, go home, do something else with their time, and as far as possible erase the shameful involvement wit
08:54 mircea_popescu h OpenSSL from their resumes."
08:56 kakobrekla 1.355, someone realized usd is worthless too!
08:57 mircea_popescu kakobrekla, govt support will only work so far tho. fiat paper isn't gold, and isn't supressablre as gold
08:58 kakobrekla myea
08:58 mircea_popescu anyway, a negative interest rate opens the window for infinite inflation, which countries like italy or greece may actually see, however briefly.
09:00 mircea_popescu i wonder if we'll see a draghi hour. (named after "earth hour", where people supposedly don't use any energy for a whole hour once a year, the draghi hour is an hour where nobody buys anything whatsoever. it results from inflationary price shocks, supply side inflationary blockage and people being generally poor and justifiably hopeless)

10:37 ThickAsThieves small one i think
10:37 mircea_popescu jurov: muhahahaha << lool goog one
10:38 ThickAsThieves need an executable of the Altcoin wallet for Windows that auto-finds nodes, so no terminal futzing is needed (also recompiling from current source would remove the coingen.io branding from currently available .exe)
10:39 mircea_popescu actually i want some people willing to do c to windows compiles too, for eulora
10:39 mircea_popescu and yes it's a paid thing
10:39 ThickAsThieves same here
10:40 mircea_popescu should prolly put it all over github. "BA HIRING WINDOWS COMPILER PERSON"
10:40 ThickAsThieves we could use Hearns Lighthouse
10:40 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: so you want to put some reliable nodes in the default list?
10:41 ThickAsThieves yes
10:41 ThickAsThieves i want it to work
10:41 ThickAsThieves a reasonable enough desire i think
10:41 fluffypony agreed
10:41 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves, wouldnt it be better to have a sourc ehardcoded which publishes a txt manifest ?
10:41 ThickAsThieves i have no idea
10:42 mircea_popescu like, on start it seeds from tatssplendidlist.com/nodes.txt
10:42 mircea_popescu then you make sure there's working ips there
10:42 ThickAsThieves seems odd to rely on my own domain, but i guess it could work
10:42 mircea_popescu well no but it had a domain no ?

10:53 ThickAsThieves "development" for a wildlife conservation center
10:53 ThickAsThieves fundraising essentially
10:54 davout my first thought for "development" of a wildlife development job was organizing inseminations
10:54 ThickAsThieves she also part-owns an online education biz
10:54 ThickAsThieves davout, while she has no involvement, organizing inseminations happens to be a large part of her employer's mission
10:57 davout he's the one with the semen
10:57 ThickAsThieves some rhinos and such being at risk for inbreeding, they ship animals around the world, to and fro, to keep a healthy mix

12:54 benkay how's it going?
12:56 cgcardona pretty good. My family moved from SF back to kauai about 2 months ago and we're finally in the groove. Working remotely w/ a team from the mainland. I'm very happy. thanks for asking. You?
12:56 benkay that sounds lovely!
12:57 cgcardona we were in a small apartment at first but just got into something much nicer and cleaner this week w/ my own office. so this morning i'm particularly stoked :)
12:57 benkay well, a deal closed and the wire cleared this week so i'm feeling particularly good about that
12:57 cgcardona boom
12:57 cgcardona yes that's one of the best types of feelings

12:59 cgcardona i worked at Truila for a while and was on the hiring team for the mobile engineering dept. They offered really good salaries, stock, medical, etc and it was still hard to find people in SF
12:59 benkay this is not actually a problem i have.

13:00 cgcardona sure.
13:01 benkay the stack really helps.
13:01 cgcardona do you do web generalized stuff or crypto specific stuff?
13:01 cgcardona i remember seeing your site once but I'm spacing on what your stack was

13:02 benkay we also don't really talk about the stack to non-devs. it's just not relevant about 100% of the time.

13:27 mdev #bitcoin ops quieted me, probably indefinitely because he says bitcoin address reuse is dangerous, even though link after link that i've found, while most discourage it, non i've seen actually say it's dangerous
13:27 mdev the android bug was a result of a bad random number gen
13:27 pankkake addresses that never had outgoing transactions are sligthly more secure, as the private key is hidden

13:29 pankkake though it is definitively a weird idea
13:29 Naphex what do you mean?
13:30 pankkake hm unless I am mistaken in what you want
13:30 Naphex i ment that if you use a single bitcoin address
13:30 Naphex you can only move the full amount every time
13:30 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.29 BTC [-]
13:30 pankkake but to distinguish transactions the process is : "I want to send 1 BTC" "ok, send me 1.00000832 BTC"
13:31 Naphex so if you don't want to double spend / or do more then 1 transaction per confirmation
13:31 pankkake oh, well, no. you can have multiple inputs on one address
13:31 Naphex the only option is to use multiple addresses
13:31 Naphex say i have 1 BTC in 1A

13:43 asciilifeform benkay: hypothesis: the devs have an 'address telescope' (box that continuously generates random addrs/keys) and are the kind of folks who like to play lotto.
13:44 benkay hah that's a good one asciilifeform
13:44 mdev the public key argument thing, about it being exposed after the first transaction, not sure why that's an issue, RSA is based off handing out public keys, I know bitcoin uses ECDMA or whatever, but still if the public key can't be trusted
13:44 mdev don't get why that's being used
13:44 Naphex mdev: if there are not transaction your pubkey is unavailable
13:45 Naphex no* transactions
13:45 * asciilifeform moved to different town recently, there are lottery machines everywhere
13:45 mdev sure, but once your public key is out there
13:45 mdev don't get why they're so concerned
13:45 mdev if that alg is weak or they're not sure about its reliability why didn't they use a more trustworthy one like RSA
13:45 mdev since that's relied on with HTTPS all day ever day
13:46 asciilifeform mdev: long keys
13:46 benkay simple solution: top up your hot address from cold addresses infrequently, spend from the hot address as frequently as you want. minimize risk by minimizing coins in the hot, potentially compromisable address.
13:47 benkay old hat, this.
13:48 mdev so they used a weaker alg to shorten the key length, does that mean if the alg they used gets compromised all addresses that have done transactions are vulnerable anyway?
13:48 mdev if they have coins in them?
13:48 pankkake it's not necessarily weaker
13:49 mdev well that seems to be the only argument i've seen, security wise as far as not reusing addresses
13:49 mdev the fear it's vulnerable or could be

14:21 asciilifeform if you're gonna buy a $10 bar of soap, it might as well be made from weasel fat if you go in for that kind of thing.
14:22 asciilifeform the practical limit for 'shrinkflation' is, i imagine, the point where the pharmacy and its supply chain can no longer compete with your neighbour brewing soap from corpses or whatever in his cellar.

21:45 mircea_popescu i'd expect it's maybe noisier but definitely not harmonic
21:46 BingoBoingo There's more equiptment tuned for these applications when using solar than mains, at least in the consumer/prosumer market
21:46 asciilifeform you can get 'atx'-sized power supplies that run off straight 12v rail
21:46 asciilifeform bypass the usual inverter found on solar rigs. use solar, woman on bike, whichever

21:47 asciilifeform they use lithium rechargeables, afaik
21:47 asciilifeform so, about the same life as 'macbook'
21:48 BingoBoingo Recently replaced the laptop battery after 3 years. Lithium ion seems more influenced by time decay that cycles, to the extent I have noticed so far

21:49 asciilifeform crystal growth.
21:49 BingoBoingo Same happens when totally charged.
21:50 asciilifeform Li. ion -> ~70% of design capacity after 2 yrs. typical.
21:50 asciilifeform (optimistic)
21:51 BingoBoingo This particular battery went from 5 hours charge to 5 minutes charge over three years. Breaking point on replacing it was it could no longer sustain a whole cigarette's worth of time away from the cord.
21:51 asciilifeform it's a kind of scam. 'showroom optimization', like glossy lcd panels.
21:52 asciilifeform new gizmo has 2x the life vs. varient with, say, nickel metal hydride cell
21:52 asciilifeform but dies on schedule.
21:52 BingoBoingo Yeah, I'd prefer a computer with less speed and a 20 year RTG for power, no recharging necessary.
