00:24 TheNewDeal roughly correct odds?!?!
00:25 TheNewDeal i guess it was skyrocketing in price at the time

03:40 mircea_popescu hey there.
03:41 arsenische mircea_popescu: hi
03:42 mircea_popescu so i see you've dropped that notion that advertisers should follow the publishers and evaluate them one by one
03:42 mircea_popescu which is a move towards sanity.
03:43 arsenische yes, there should be some other way to do it
03:43 mircea_popescu ok. what are your plans with the thing currently ?
03:49 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 18021 @ 0.00083899 = 15.1194 BTC [-] {2}
03:50 arsenische there is much work to be done. we need to find a solution for better ad unit classification and evaluation. improve accounting and statistics for advertisers.
03:51 mircea_popescu currently, what's your revenue model ? you charge advertisers a % ? how much ?
03:53 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8200 @ 0.00083874 = 6.8777 BTC [-] {2}
03:53 fluffypony won't that lead to an environment where advertisers cherry-pick only the especially large publishers and ignore all the little ones?
03:54 mircea_popescu no, because advertisers can't possibly be arsed to do that.
03:54 fluffypony well that's the other thing
03:54 fluffypony were I an advertiser I'd maybe do that the first time round
03:55 mircea_popescu that's the main thing :p
03:55 fluffypony then be too lazy afterwards
03:55 fluffypony unless you made it REALLY easy with categories
03:55 mircea_popescu arsenische ?

03:56 arsenische Twenty percent of all monies paid by advertisers will be considered AnonymousAds fees.
03:57 mircea_popescu arsenische okay, i have a proposition for you. it goes like this :
03:57 arsenische (that was a quote from https://a-ads.com/terms_of_service)
03:58 mircea_popescu 1. you get in the wot, we go partners in yoru anon ads service, work it pretty much on the bitbet model. it can be listed on mpex.
03:58 mircea_popescu 2. we kick out all the current publishers. we require all publishers to come here and have their platform approved to be added to a-a.
03:59 mircea_popescu we'll be insanely picky, in that, only actual blogs carrying actual interesting material written by interestin people will be accepted. jurov's thing may not make the cut even.
04:00 punkman mircea_popescu: there is indeed fagrap, for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soce,_the_elemental_wizard
04:01 mircea_popescu punkman nuts.

04:14 arsenische I appreciate your suggestion to focus on the most valuable publishers and get rid of all the trash. But... won't it be difficult to maintain a binary approach (accept/reject)? Maybe we could just evaluate ad units to have some "quality" attribute, and allow advetisers to set the theshold for their campaigns.
04:14 mircea_popescu arsenische nah, because your thing exists to serve the advertiser, and the advertiser needs to have an absolute he can rely on.

04:34 mircea_popescu and if i wanna punish someone, but i mean, REALLY punish them
04:34 mircea_popescu i give them one week tech support on that line.

05:12 fluffypony lol
05:13 mircea_popescu im counting the money, he's cunting the blondies, we got a whole system
05:13 fluffypony "cunting the blondies"
05:13 fluffypony sounds about right
05:13 BigBitz how do I get involved in this counting and cunting action?
05:13 Naphex so localbitcoins got bit?;o
05:13 BigBitz with preference to the cunting...
05:14 Naphex what is it with people not securing their bootloader and datacenters
05:14 Naphex just rebooting servers trolol
05:14 BigBitz Naphex LBC has been bit a few times. I prevented their last big one.
05:14 BigBitz Naphex fools be foolin'
05:14 mircea_popescu Naphex yes. best part about it is the "everything's safe, we got wiped."
05:14 fluffypony Naphex: it's also really shitty on the DC's part
05:14 BigBitz the time the guy got away with 80BTC I found it and alerted jeramis before they lost a lot of their BTC.
05:14 BigBitz so simple...
05:14 BigBitz ENFORCE MFA FOR WITHDRAW, PLOX.
05:14 mircea_popescu BigBitz what, you host ?
05:15 BigBitz mircea_popescu no.
05:15 BigBitz I secure.
05:15 BigBitz DoctorBTC in -otc was talking/asking about image related malware.
05:15 BigBitz I got interested...
05:15 BigBitz He told me someone was stealing BTC from LBC using image based malware.
05:16 BingoBoingo Oh, a-ads might do something?
05:16 BigBitz they weren't.
05:16 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo up to arsenische atm.
05:16 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Interesting.
05:16 mircea_popescu BigBitz what i don't get is, why the fuck would local bitcoins hold any bitcoins. just run it like craigslist, what do you want to hold on to the risk for.
05:16 BigBitz enforced escrow.
05:17 BigBitz makes sense; if you can secure your shit.
05:17 mircea_popescu fuck that. it's nonsense. you can't enforce escrow.
05:17 BigBitz adds some validitity to the trade.
05:17 BigBitz mircea_popescu enforced in the sense it must be filled before it can be traded.
05:17 BigBitz proof, at least, there is bitcoin available.
05:17 mircea_popescu yes ok. but that can be done many other (better) ways
05:17 mircea_popescu and isn't actually escrow
05:17 BigBitz Yup.
05:17 BigBitz I'm aware :)
05:17 mircea_popescu so you know, they just eat a pie of risk for no upside.
05:18 mircea_popescu but then again... hey. business isn't a skill we're born with.
05:18 BigBitz speak to jereamis I think he's seen enough upside ;)
05:18 BigBitz business acumen isn't rife in Bitcoin land.
05:18 mircea_popescu as they say, the best way to sink a good team with a good idea is a bad revenue stream.
05:19 mircea_popescu BigBitz in fact, local bitcoins could just verify a btc address signature, for the same effects, not having to hold any btc in the process.
05:19 cazalla mircea_popescu: going back to KLYE discussion earlier - do you think there is a market for insex type content + bitcoin?
05:19 BigBitz sure but that's as worthwhile as saying "here it is" then moving it instantly.
05:19 mircea_popescu cazalla only for people who actually control a harem of willing babes.
05:20 BigBitz someone hit up Dan BIlaizare.
05:20 punkman did KLYE deliver the harem pic?
05:20 mircea_popescu BigBitz not exactly different in effect than the pseudo-escrow.
05:20 mircea_popescu punkman nah.
05:20 BigBitz mircea_popescu it's not quite pseudo -- they get the coin.
05:20 BigBitz IT's the release actions which have had flaws.
05:20 mircea_popescu BigBitz someone explained in here why this model is very vulnerable irl.
05:21 mircea_popescu "cams will see the person leave with their own item" sort of thing.
05:21 BigBitz coz ppl b stuped.
05:22 BingoBoingo arsenische: Oh, you run a-ads?
05:23 mircea_popescu BigBitz also, kinda trivial to verify address has been meanwhile emptied, doesn't show so good on the proposed seller.
05:26 mircea_popescu lol all these fucktards spending on google ads for "bitcoin" for their shitty fiat scams. "Bitcoin - Welcome Bonus, 1:10, Starting 100 €"
05:26 BigBitz lol
05:26 BigBitz The world is still full of stupid people who don't know Bitcoin from sand.
05:27 mircea_popescu so you're saying that the notion that someone googling bitcoin would actually fall for the most tired webscams is not exactly without basis ?
05:27 BigBitz education isn't exactly non-existant but "MAKE DEM QUICK BUCKS"
05:28 BigBitz I'm saying some people think they can have their cake and eat it. for free.
05:29 mircea_popescu welll... they can definitely... eat it.

05:30 mircea_popescu "there is no fda in the tech space!!!11"

05:30 mircea_popescu "Zuckerberg’s obvious theory (given that he expresses no conscious desire to do harm) is that Facebook and the Oculus VR are good businesses and good ways to communicate and have fun. My theory is that Facebook is an addictive technological drug that, like every drug, gives people temporary pleasure and, ultimately, causes many people to become psychiatrically ill."
05:31 mircea_popescu right. because doctor a-blow is now allowed to put his opinions on the same table.
05:31 BigBitz :|
05:31 mircea_popescu "We are deploying powerful technology drugs to our young people"
05:31 BigBitz "DRUGS ARE GOOD. From Facebook"
05:31 mircea_popescu we. you know, doctor a-blow is... somehow, don't ask how, part of all this.
05:31 mircea_popescu he like knows and shit. he's like invented google, he's in this tech thing. we.
05:32 BigBitz mircea_popescu I get the impression I don't even need to be here for you to converse...
05:32 mircea_popescu "Dr. Keith Ablow is a psychiatrist and member of the Fox News Medical A-Team." unintentional irony ftw.

05:47 Naphex probably
05:47 Naphex thats how they do all gov eauctions everywhere
05:47 Naphex with x509 and https
05:48 Naphex and ofcourse all platforms are shitty, expensive, horrible
05:48 BingoBoingo Don't forget the key escrow
05:51 mircea_popescu Naphex what i mean is, technically speaking any https site satisfies the "it uses x509" criterion. and so, a contractor could in principle slap a lamp on a box, draw up 3 pages and there you go, invoice for 50 billion.
05:51 mircea_popescu not that this isn't how it'll end up working
05:51 Naphex well it will have specs attached
05:52 Naphex but it will most likely use x509 certificates, and "ssl authentication"
05:52 Naphex you gotta have that certificate imported and loaded to log in
05:52 Naphex so thats what your gov id will be
05:55 Naphex and most likely use adobe with x509 to sign/encrypt send pdf documents
05:55 Naphex :))
05:57 Naphex https://www.e-licitatie.ro/Public/Common/Content.aspx?f=PublicHomePage is a famous case i think ;]
05:58 Naphex i think that 'portal' - thats what they call shitty webapps that cost hundreds of milions
05:58 Naphex went for around 30, 40 mil eur
05:59 Naphex so you get that web app, with x509 certificates/documents and thats bout it

13:33 mircea_popescu sadly.
13:34 Framedragger gribble fails at google
13:34 pankkake the correct form is… pompatic?!
13:34 Framedragger first hit here is http://www.wordorium.blogspot.com/2005/03/pompastic.html
13:34 mircea_popescu mr bombastik pretty fantastik...
13:34 Framedragger which actually provides some sense
13:35 Framedragger i choose the "to shake a pompom vigorously" interpretation
13:36 Framedragger i guess closest 'legit' match is http://etymonline.com/index.php?term=pomposity&allowed_in_frame=0
13:36 mircea_popescu so you just meant pompous ?
13:36 fluffypony pompous-nisity
13:36 Framedragger i guess. i just made a literal mapping from own tongue onto english. but english failed on me :( so, "pompous"
13:37 mircea_popescu the mapping failed you!

14:12 benkay client wants to do a thing with asymmetric crypto on the major mobile platforms, my guys are handling the ios side. apple provides a handy dandy set of apis for generating keys (your second 4096 bit key on a bleeding edge iphone will take over a minute to gather 'adequate' 'entropy', btw).
14:12 bounce so... the chinese knew (or suspected) about the crimea thing beforehand? and that nevada thing, does that mean the poor farmer gets his cattle back now?
14:13 benkay apple's api's are more than happy to give you the raw bytes of the private key, but it seems they then forgot to build out the calls to import that key back into their play-pi.
14:13 benkay guess what the client's considering
14:13 benkay come on guess
14:13 bounce "give benkay mo' moneis"

14:15 benkay ios is already stripped down macos, troll
14:15 mircea_popescu how does your client know this.
14:15 mircea_popescu bounce the chinese knew.
14:15 mircea_popescu that they knew you knew the moment they didn't say anything.

14:31 Framedragger at least they have a sense of humour (maybe)
14:31 benkay dot com dot butts
14:32 benkay hey mircea_popescu on an entirely different topic what was this situation where romania just gave oodles of cash away to 'businessmen' once upon a time? sounds like quite the story.
14:32 mircea_popescu benkay http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-02-2014#506512
14:32 mircea_popescu benkay context ?
14:33 kakobrekla Framedragger you dont work in IT do you... ever heard of redundancy?
14:33 Framedragger ;)
14:33 fluffypony [20:16:16] mircea_popescu: openssl is not in ios ?! <- they implement Open Group's CDSA/CSSM, they hate OpenSSL because it doesn't maintain a stable API between versions
14:33 Framedragger their twitter images are also symmetrical
14:34 Framedragger call it 'sharding'
14:34 mircea_popescu fluffypony good reason to hate it, incidentally.
14:34 fluffypony agreed
14:34 fluffypony there was a quote about it
14:35 fluffypony "Apple does keep an older version of OpenSSL around that isn't vulnerable to the exploit. Safely chained to a wall. In the dungeon. It prods it with sticks now and again to make sure it's still breathing."
14:35 benkay mircea_popescu: your comment was along the lines of 'romania gave a bunch of money to basically anyone who showed up claiming to be a businessman and a bunch of guys blew it in advertising'
14:35 benkay iirc you also made a comment about massive gold reserves in proximity
14:35 mircea_popescu benkay a, was a more complex discussion, see the whole log.
14:35 mircea_popescu that was after the revolution, early 90s
14:36 benkay ayeah, trying to find it.
14:38 mircea_popescu kakobrekla ahaha only now i get the joke. lmao.
14:38 mircea_popescu "invest with the twinkletoss brothers! there's a spare included!"
14:39 kakobrekla ;)
14:42 danielpbarron is it safe to assume that a user operating a pass-through for MPEx has a lot to lose if he were to decide to run with the money? To clarify, is it MPEx's official policy to publically shame and/or revoke access for such a user?
14:43 benkay identity operating the mpex keys will be toast for sure.
14:43 mircea_popescu in general you'd expect the rotten pt operator to withdraw everything from mpex before he actually runs.
14:43 danielpbarron mircea_popescu: but would his access be void? (value of 30 BTC)
14:43 benkay but mircea_popescu wouldja revoke the keys?
14:43 mircea_popescu yes.
14:44 kakobrekla if you know who it is
14:44 danielpbarron nice :D
14:44 mircea_popescu well you gotta know who he is.
14:44 mircea_popescu how could you not
14:44 benkay you gotta know the keyid he's using, non?
14:45 benkay kinda the point of mpex - put down 30B, get access no questions asked.
14:45 danielpbarron I don't need to know, but i'm confident MPEx could figure that one out
14:45 kakobrekla but mpex cant
14:45 mircea_popescu you shouldn't be confident mpex will figure anything.
14:45 mircea_popescu but if you ever asked your pt op for a mpex signed stat, for instance, you should know
14:46 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1160 @ 0.00084176 = 0.9764 BTC [-]
14:46 benkay pt ops should be considered bad actors if they refuse to provide those, then. no amount of 'gotta preserve the secrecy of my keys with mpex' allowed.
14:46 danielpbarron i agree
14:46 mircea_popescu well it's entirely up to you.
14:47 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3140 @ 0.00084118 = 2.6413 BTC [-]
14:47 kakobrekla yeah but you can go to buttfucker and post a passthrough as evedence present a malfucked pgp signature which none of the 'investors' know how to check anyway and thats that
14:48 chetty no way around the basics, due diligence and trust
14:48 mircea_popescu well nobody forces anyone to not know / not think / etc
14:52 danielpbarron for example: a user is in the WoT, and has a rating of 3 or more given by mircea_popescu, describing him as an operator of a specific pass-through; is it safe to trust this user on that information alone?
14:52 mircea_popescu no.
14:52 fluffypony not enough information given
14:52 mircea_popescu it's never safe to trust.
14:53 danielpbarron doesn't this necessarily mean that MPEx knows the user's credentials, and could disable them if it turned out to be a scam?
14:53 mircea_popescu no, it does not.
14:53 mircea_popescu you can find out what it means by asking the rater what they meant.
14:53 mircea_popescu you're not at liberty to arbitrarily decide what someone else's rating means.
14:53 danielpbarron ok, mircea_popescu what did you mean when you rated jurov?
14:53 fluffypony danielpbarron: I think part of the WoT is extrapolation of information upon which a conclusion can be drawn, and sometimes that information needs to be expanded by talking to the rater

14:54 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 4 @ 0.0316409 = 0.1266 BTC [-]
14:54 mircea_popescu danielpbarron i meant the guy has been operating a mpex broker for about two years now, it never ran into any difficulty, and met him twice in person
14:54 danielpbarron mircea_popescu: do you know which GPG key he uses to place orders on MPEx?
14:55 mircea_popescu ;;rated jurov
14:55 chetty danielpbarron, do you trust yourself to never eat that piece of chocolate cake you know you shouldn't have?
14:55 gribble You rated user jurov on Mon Apr 21 06:09:46 2014, with a rating of 5, and supplied these additional notes: Years of promises kept..
14:55 danielpbarron chetty: 99.99%, ya
14:55 mircea_popescu i'm pretty sure (5/10) that i know enough of the guy to have an opinion, and that opinion is he should be trustworthy.
14:55 chetty danielpbarron, that I think is the point - trust has degrees, you should be aware of them
14:56 mircea_popescu dun tell me jurov ran off ?!
14:56 danielpbarron lol probably not; just doing some due dilligence
14:56 bounce what, like kevin bacon or something? *confused*

16:06 bitcoingirl i do that

16:15 mircea_popescu its name*
16:17 bitcoingirl ok got it. are you saying john is already going to be at Amsterdam so you don't need another ambassador there?
16:17 mircea_popescu not at all. i say he's already going, and maybe you have a drink. he's not my ambassador, because he's a boy
16:17 mircea_popescu and i have a strict girls-only for ambassador roles policy.
16:17 bitcoingirl sounds sexist
16:18 mircea_popescu hm.
16:18 bitcoingirl so what do i have to do
16:18 mircea_popescu well he also doesn't have a forbes blog, nor was he invited to the whcd.
16:18 mircea_popescu well, you ever represented an industry leader before ?
16:19 bitcoingirl yes, i have a consulting firm in DC where I do this professionally
16:19 mircea_popescu cool. so, what do you know about me ?

16:21 mircea_popescu Apocalyptic at least she's honest.

16:22 mircea_popescu are you merely skimming titles or also read soem stuff ?
16:22 mircea_popescu a, that for sure.
16:22 mircea_popescu you will find pretty much all of bitcoin is anti the alleged foundation.

17:43 fluffypony "Not reusing addresses protects you from quantum computing"
17:43 fluffypony l.o.l. the sequel.
17:43 mircea_popescu wait wut
17:43 mircea_popescu does mormon underwear protect you from quantum computing ?
17:43 mircea_popescu "Not reusing addresses may prevent you to be exposed from undiscovered holes in ECDSA theory"
17:44 mircea_popescu wlel... reusing addresses equally may prevent you from exposure to undiscovered holes.
17:44 mircea_popescu what the fuck is this cargo cult nonsense.
17:44 pankkake because quantum computing can break ECDSA, but cannot break RIPEMD-160? lel
17:44 fluffypony pankkake: RIPEMD4lyf
17:44 pankkake anyway >quantum computing. why even talk about it
17:44 mircea_popescu not reusing addresses has major privacy implications :
17:44 mircea_popescu it makes it feasible for your users to be tracked
17:45 mircea_popescu and it makes it possible for the entire "taint" nonsense to even tenuously exist.
17:45 mircea_popescu if you care about freedom, make sure you reuse at least some addresses.
17:45 pankkake though I've tried to not associate some addresses with others, I'm sure some more advanced statistical anylisis would reveal them
17:45 jurov then the analysis just moves on to transaction level
17:46 danielpbarron bitcoinpete: lol @ greenaddress; I had a back-and-forth with them over that exact issue: https://twitter.com/danielpbarron/status/461889144667787266

17:50 mircea_popescu bitcoingirl yes.
17:50 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete yes i mean.
17:51 pankkake bitcoinpete: seems to me the real issue is merging inputs, regardless of the addresses. changing addresses will only confuse amateur investigators

17:55 GAit ok
17:55 fluffypony bitcoingirl: ok done, I nominated you for best ATM design.
17:55 GAit i wasn't sure this was appropriate for the channel, as long as others don't mind
17:55 fluffypony (kidding)
17:56 bitcoinpete GAit: this is a good conversation for everyone to see
17:56 mircea_popescu fluffypony asshat :D
17:56 GAit it is I agree, i generally like to read your blog
17:56 mircea_popescu GAit go ahead, you're voiced, you can talk.
17:56 bitcoinpete GAit: so tell us why reusing addresses is bad, in your opinion
17:56 bitcoingirl I did not create an ATM
17:57 mircea_popescu bitcoingirl he's just being difficult :D
17:57 bitcoingirl i know
17:57 GAit i think reusing addresses is bad for privacy and exposes you to potential security risk in the implementation
17:57 fluffypony bitcoingirl: I'm teasing, hence the "kidding" added after
17:57 mircea_popescu GAit specifically.
17:57 fluffypony bitcoingirl: here - http://i.imgur.com/nizKc8A.png
17:58 GAit specifically privacy or security?
17:58 mircea_popescu privacy. the security i understand
17:58 GAit privacy alone is quite important but extra security is not bad
17:58 mircea_popescu and it's factual : ecdsa is vulnerable to bad rngs.
17:59 GAit well privacy in the sense that if you tell too many people about your [reused] address then it is much easier to make sense, on a whole, of correlated transaction, especially if more people reuse
18:00 mircea_popescu GAit what if you lie.
18:00 GAit who lies?
18:00 mircea_popescu well for instance, Naphex told me a funny story when we met yest. it went like this :
18:01 mircea_popescu buncha poor romanian kids in some small romanian town got the check-only btc address app installed on their phones and went all over town claiming to be owning 1000s of btc.
18:01 pankkake oh, your name is actually Boring. things are clearer now
18:01 GAit check only-> watch only I presume?
18:01 mircea_popescu yes
18:03 GAit anyway, bitcoinpete, why would you go as far as calling it scam? good reasons or?
18:03 bitcoinpete GAit scum != scam
18:03 GAit sorry, lapsus
18:04 GAit so why calling it scum?
18:04 GAit i actually like in general your criticism and your being skeptical
18:04 mircea_popescu what got called scum ? i'm behind my reading.
18:05 fluffypony mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete called GAit scum on the Twitorz
18:05 GAit https://twitter.com/bitcoinpete/status/463072062056452096
18:05 ozbot Twitter / bitcoinpete: You guys are fucking scum. ...
18:05 bitcoinpete GAit: basically that reusing doesn't have a place in bitcoin
18:05 mircea_popescu oh. GAit well people sometimes overstate points on the internet. it's called cracked.com
18:05 fluffypony technically he said you're fucking scum, GAit, if scum is a pretty person you could consider that a complement
18:05 GAit mircea_popescu: i was trying to find if there was something bad we could improvwe
18:05 mircea_popescu GAit the problem is this : i'm pretty well convinced, and i suspect a lot of people here are similarly convinced,
18:06 bounce complement or compliment?
18:06 GAit bounce: compliment
18:06 mircea_popescu that a campaign against reusing addresses is more a covert usg op than anything else.
18:06 fluffypony bounce: good catch
18:06 fluffypony I need another drink
18:06 mircea_popescu now whether you're participating naively or not is up for grabs, but still.
18:07 GAit mircea_popescu: you are saying we tried to get attention in the wrong way by mentioning our comptetitors reusing addresses?
18:07 mircea_popescu no.
18:07 peterl does reusing addresses cut down on blockchain bloat?
18:07 mircea_popescu i am saying that the entire "don't reuse addresses" campaign is exactly the equiovalent of "pls to use openssh" or "pls to use tor before that"
18:07 mircea_popescu or "pls to use whatever the gpg competitor was, i forgot" 20 years prior.
18:07 bitcoinpete peterl: shouldn't
18:07 GAit reusing increases bloat if i understand correctly as you have less to prune
18:07 mircea_popescu reusing prevents efficient pruning.
18:08 GAit yeah
18:08 GAit a good point to add to the blog actually
18:08 GAit thanks
18:08 fluffypony peterl: not really...the current change address functionality is roughly analogous to creating fresh receive addresses every time you receive a transaction
18:08 mircea_popescu asciilifeform chetty what was the gpg competitor nsa was pushing back i nthe day ?
18:09 bounce clipper?
18:09 fluffypony bounce: wasn't that the Microsoft Office assistant?
18:09 bounce "clippy", unless you're thinking of bob the dog
18:10 peterl you mean the paperclip that gave tips on how to use winblows?
18:10 GAit anyway, in general if you guys have any feedback i'm all ears

18:12 mircea_popescu are you here looking for feedback or are you here to persuade ?

18:12 bounce anybody still use coldfusion? even though it's apparently a better php.

18:13 mircea_popescu i mean that sort of shit probably flies in -otc, but this chan is grown ups.
18:13 fluffypony bounce: wasn't there a major CF exploit last yearish that caused issues on a bunch of sites?
18:13 GAit non specified attacks?
18:13 mircea_popescu yes.
18:13 GAit i specified the attaccks or problems. RNG is one
18:14 GAit privacy is another
18:14 mircea_popescu if quantum computing, then your teeth are probably not safe. because why would they be ?
18:14 peterl my dad (a physicist) worked on quantum computing for a bit. It's more likely to succeed than cold fusion, but still many years off.
18:14 GAit well by then i imagine a lot of encryption will use quanto techinques
18:14 bitcoinpete GAit: i didn't say much more to that <<quantum comps was half your security argument in the blog
18:14 fluffypony GAit: it's like me saying not to use GreenAddress because of the risk of an exploit in Chrome/Java/JavaScript; until it happens or the attack surface is real it's pointless talking about it
18:14 bounce quantum computing vs cold fusion, there's a bitbet
18:14 GAit it is a widely discussed topics when talking about bitcoin and ecdsa
18:14 mircea_popescu bounce one year term!
18:14 bounce oh foo
18:14 peterl oh, and people use cold fusion all the time, it just generates neutrons, not power
18:15 bounce NO VISION
18:15 GAit fluffypony: sure you can say that, but then you have little alternative to all common languages, maybe some hardware wallet
18:15 mircea_popescu o.o
18:15 mircea_popescu security by lack of alternative ?!
18:15 fluffypony GAit: welcome to the world of S.NSA :-P
18:15 kakobrekla afaik 'green address' as technical term implies reusing an address, which is funny.
18:15 mircea_popescu which is also entirely an artefact of your own mind, as yo ucan make a webpage in fucking lisp ?
18:15 bounce just add neutron-fueled fission, and you have a safe(-ish) reactor
18:15 GAit we are already working on supporting two hw wallets
18:16 GAit we are using a different way of 'greenaddressing' out of band, if you want greenaddress 2.0
18:16 GAit we spoke to Jan, you know, the guy that coined the term
18:16 mircea_popescu moving on to more interesting stuff. fluffypony you got a dc in your basement ?
18:16 GAit he really liked the way it is applied in a out of the box way
18:17 fluffypony mircea_popescu: no, got a warehouse with decent availability and average Internet tho
18:17 GAit did you see the design document/white apper?
18:17 mircea_popescu you moving anytime soon ?
18:17 fluffypony mircea_popescu: not a chance
18:17 mircea_popescu how would you feel about hosting a coupla rigs ?
18:17 fluffypony mircea_popescu: sure, happy to talk about it
18:18 fluffypony GAit: when are you guys going to support RFC 1149?
18:18 fluffypony I think it's an important piece of functionality missing from almost all implementations
18:19 mircea_popescu too fucking evil.
18:19 peterl bounce: so you control the rate of fission by the amount of power you put into the neutron-generating fusion?

18:35 fluffypony don't think so
18:37 pankkake I stumbled on some pole dancing websites, it was entertaining. I mean, it was so serious and all. Though the erotic aspect wasn't stupidly downplayed
18:37 mircea_popescu pankkake belly dancing can also get quite serious
18:37 mircea_popescu heck, for that matter even barbecuing
18:37 bounce srsly eerotic
18:37 pankkake well, I have a belly button fetish, so. :)
18:38 fluffypony I dated a Greek girl who was a serious belly dancer, she ended up starting her own school
18:38 fluffypony was sexy for a bit, but she was too serious about it
18:38 pankkake ahah

19:01 lolstate what? a kick in the mouth? or… ?
19:02 fluffypony ok analysis: Danny is a thief and was the only one who controlled all the monies. now he's run away with the monies or many spent it all on a lavish lifestyle. the company has collapsed and disbanded, and the police want to talk to Danny.
19:02 fluffypony fin.
19:02 lolstate Explnation for recent failure, maybe?

19:19 lolstate TAT, that’s an interesting staement: a) Danny is a crim or… b)… ?
19:20 benkay but pornstar/cryptostocks is derpage of the most pernicious variety.
19:20 ThickAsThieves basically the limit is that they have to be "serious" questions and i cant end up in jail
19:20 bounce you already got a list? (wiki? in public? maybe not a good idea)
19:20 lolstate lol
19:20 nahkunt mircea_popescu: isn't that correct? i read about you on the bitcoinwiki, it linked to a bitcointalk thread discussing it.

19:21 ThickAsThieves lolstate, i do not know if danny is a criminal, it's entirely possible he is merely 'criminally' inept
19:21 lolstate TAT, have you had any contact with Danny after cutting the pass-through management role?
19:21 * bounce already has a bit too much to read ATM :/
19:22 ThickAsThieves lolstate no, he only talks to reddit now it seems

19:24 benkay pornstar though is your claim and you're going to have to substantiate that.
19:24 benkay 'star' lol.
19:24 ThickAsThieves porn cerberus
19:24 lolstate So, TAT, I’m not here to add fuel or whatever. I’m actaully interested in disecting this mess.
19:24 nahkunt benkay: it's probably false then, but this wiki page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MPEx links to a thread that mentions it
19:24 benkay there's nothing to dissect, lolstate. it's over. everyone involved lost their money.

19:25 ThickAsThieves lolstate i have no new info for you, sorry
19:25 benkay nahkunt: let me know if you have anything that's less retarded than a retarded thread on a retarded forum.
19:25 ThickAsThieves mp, okay, but i do feel some prep would be nice
19:25 mircea_popescu ok, ask ?
19:25 lolstate I don’r need neew info, TAT. That’s ok.
19:25 lolstate But the dissection has to happen.
19:26 benkay why, lolstate ?
19:26 benkay what is there to dissect?
19:26 lolstate Police will disect soon enough.
19:26 benkay shit blew up. it's over. on to the next one.
19:26 ThickAsThieves i'll start a doc tomorrow (i'm not entirely sober atm) but basically who are the targets, and what are the main gripes and concerns to be expressed to each
19:26 lolstate No really. If there was fraud, the cops will be interested.
19:26 bounce probably gonna need someone on the headset relaying irc (teamspeak?) during panels
19:26 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves as far as im concenred, the "why are you not publishing reports @vehe" is all.
19:27 nahkunt benkay: ok man... i think you're misinterpreting my tone, i wasn't really all that serious about it. i just came to ask people's opinion on https://vertpay.com — they're having an IPO soon
19:27 ThickAsThieves i should probably buy an audio recorder
19:27 benkay lolstate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM1RChZk1EU
19:27 mircea_popescu i have no idea who the rest of the derps present are or why'd i/anyone care.
19:27 ThickAsThieves but mp so many people will be there
19:27 ThickAsThieves like Josh from BFL
19:27 mircea_popescu so many people are @gcs in ny right now
19:27 mircea_popescu so what of it
19:27 ThickAsThieves the Overstock guy
19:27 ThickAsThieves etc
19:27 mircea_popescu the overstock guy is a year away from sense
19:27 mircea_popescu i may be the lord of all evil but i can't compress time.
19:27 lolstate TAT, are you still in securities? Aren’t you jaded now?
19:27 benkay nahkunt: "Merchant adoption is the single biggest driver in encouraging the spread of a cryptocurrency." << sounds like a ploy to hype a shitcoin
19:27 mircea_popescu except with willing women.
19:28 ThickAsThieves lolstate i've been jaded since i was like 8 years old
19:28 fluffypony nahkunt: I'm off to bed, but hit me up tomorrow if you have any VertPay questions
19:28 mircea_popescu nahkunt you ever read the canonical statement to the contrary ?

19:29 fluffypony hah hah
19:29 fluffypony benkay: don't worry, we'll branch into ATC soon :-P

19:30 lolstate TAT, do you still have a current LMB share-holder/transfer-to-Havelock list?
19:31 lolstate Not trying to wind you up, TAT, just fact-finding!
19:31 nahkunt fluffypony: serious question: will you consider other altcoins than vert some day? i realise that's pipedream talk but i'm curious
19:31 ThickAsThieves to what end?

19:31 mircea_popescu wait wait. fluffypony what exactly is your relation to vertcon or w/e and wtf is it ?
19:31 fluffypony nahkunt: definitely, that's the plan, but it's important for us to have a definitive starting point
19:32 nahkunt yes i agree and i think it's a wise decision to start with just vert
19:32 fluffypony mircea_popescu: I found someone doing something similar to PayBee but Vertcoin-specific, so I struck a deal with them and we've been sorting things out over the past couple of weeks
19:32 mircea_popescu wtf is a vertcoin
19:32 ThickAsThieves i'm not sure if i have a 'current' list lolstate, i may have taken a screen shot of the lmb site before it went away, but otherwise, the 'list' of pending transfers was not saved
19:32 benkay another shitcoin.
19:33 mircea_popescu scrypt ?
19:33 lolstate Ok, TAT, that’s reasonable.
19:33 fluffypony mircea_popescu: an altcoin, selling point is that it uses scrypt-n so it's asic-resistant
19:33 mircea_popescu ah.
19:33 mircea_popescu oh oh that thing
19:33 mircea_popescu shit man that's obscure
19:33 fluffypony the n-factor is determined by block height or something
19:33 mircea_popescu yes yes
19:33 mircea_popescu so what's your slice, like... bored one day ?
19:33 fluffypony mircea_popescu: it made sense to do that than try do PayBee
19:33 mircea_popescu aha
19:34 mircea_popescu is paybee even functional yet ?
19:35 fluffypony mircea_popescu: backend stuff, the VertPay guys have a dev team so some of the code's been discarded in favour of what they have, and some can be re-used
19:35 fluffypony so everyone wins
19:36 mircea_popescu https://github.com/paybee/electrum-doge/blob/master/AUTHORS o look, he's even i nthere.

19:38 mircea_popescu no but i mean what do you intend for it to do.

21:33 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves' twitter acct.
21:33 mircea_popescu i *think* it's based off some comment of mine from x years ago that being an admin is being a superservant not a superuser.
21:34 asciilifeform 'superservitude' evokes a story. over here in usa, schoolchildren (in many states, mine included) were required to do x hours of 'community service' to graduate
21:34 mircea_popescu wait what ?!
21:34 mircea_popescu isn't that a substitute punishment for poor people that can't pay fines ?
21:34 benkay lol yup
21:34 asciilifeform one option, riotously funny, was advertised on library wall. 'society against involuntary servitude' (an org run by 'randroids') that... campaigned against community serv. requirements.
21:34 asciilifeform it counted!
21:35 mircea_popescu haha cool.
21:35 mircea_popescu you've gotten nustso socialist over there btw. i mean wtf is this, community service ? i wouldn't have graduated.
21:36 asciilifeform (what did i do? well, i worked summers in a bio lab. technically unpaid. so, i was golden.)
21:36 asciilifeform (they had a special arrangement, where you'd get a 'prize' later.)
21:36 mircea_popescu let teh community service me instead.
21:37 mircea_popescu "I use "sign" in the widest sense of the definition. It is a wonderful case of an almost popular use of a very broad word in almost the exact sense of the scientific definition." << this may actuallty be the only case where popular use actually coincides with scientific use.
21:37 asciilifeform punishment for poor people << aye! drive on 'beltway', watch the prison wagens (colourful logo) and their crews, picking up rubbish.
21:38 mircea_popescu randroids being ayn rand ppls ?
21:38 asciilifeform aye
21:39 mircea_popescu i keep learning all these wonderful things.
