00:00 mircea_popescu copypaste i wonder what the mixed content thing is
00:01 copypaste It works now
00:01 copypaste Mixed content means mixed HTTP/HTTPS
00:01 copypaste It's a new thing added by browser vendors
00:01 copypaste They don't allow HTTP content on HTTPS pages anymore.
00:01 decimation ssl everywhere!
00:01 mircea_popescu ah mkay. anyway, server load was throughout < .2 so i dun think that'll be a problem.
00:01 copypaste Great!
00:01 mircea_popescu and i intend to keep the mix more or less varied so.
00:02 mircea_popescu prolly a buncha people send more banners once they wake up/catch up with the log.
00:02 decimation ^the fact that this is even possible demonstrates the laugh-ability of pki

00:31 mircea_popescu this would not surprise me.
00:31 decimation so everyone lies, pretending to achieve 100% compliance
00:31 mircea_popescu sorta like taxes.
00:31 decimation some young officers - tought from entry that lying is very bad - find the real working of usg to be shocking

00:33 * mircea_popescu ran a romanian chan years ago.
00:34 asciilifeform what is, in this context, a 'chan' ?
00:34 decimation apparently a bbs
00:34 asciilifeform generic term for www forum ?
00:34 copypaste Indeed mircea_popescu. I hacked the codebase considerably
00:35 copypaste https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/infinity
00:35 assbot ctrlcctrlv/infinity · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1cyOHJp )
00:35 mircea_popescu a, you did a bunch of work there ?
00:35 mircea_popescu but this at start was a futaba or what ?
00:35 copypaste Yeah. It was really basic when I started.
00:35 copypaste It started as Tinyboard.
00:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform in this context, a chan is a type of forum, used most famously by 2/4chan
00:35 copypaste I wrote the catalog ( https://8ch.net/b/catalog.html ), a lot of the javascript (desktop notifications etc), all the board creaetion feaetures, etc
00:35 assbot b - Catalog ... ( http://bit.ly/1cyOPIU )

00:36 decimation but no drug wars game
00:36 copypaste There's a lot if you go back in my commit history, heh...
00:36 asciilifeform or do they all descend from same proggy ?
00:36 mircea_popescu asciilifeform a lightweight structure, specific cli style commands and a requirement to start threads by embedding a picture. they're purely cosmetic, it's just a sort of forum ubuntu, if you take vbulletin to be windows.
00:37 mircea_popescu they i think all descend from the same thing (aka, futaba) reimplemented x times
00:37 asciilifeform ah
00:37 mircea_popescu and it all runs in php!
00:38 mircea_popescu which is probably the cutting-edgest application php ever knew.
00:38 decimation ^ one wonders why nobody bothered to write something like this in pure c, given the performance demands
00:40 mircea_popescu i doubt there's actually that much of an edge to be had, unless one goes all the way to mold it into nginx
00:40 mircea_popescu have a chaninx
00:40 decimation yeah, good point, would have to re-create the whole stack of shit
00:40 mircea_popescu exactly.
00:40 asciilifeform decimation: the result of c in the hands of imbeciles is generally microshitesque
00:41 decimation which would be like engineering a sand castle with a toothpick (to paraphrase ascii)

00:43 mircea_popescu lmao
00:43 mircea_popescu how bad do they suck btw ? graphically i mean
00:44 copypaste The tit one is good. I bet you get some clients from 8chan.
00:47 mircea_popescu should be interesting.
00:49 decimation scraper is much easier than writing the server stack. as yarvin put it "An Internet server is, above all, a massive fortified castle in alien zombie territory. The men who man these castles are men indeed, quick in emacs and hairy of neck."
00:49 trinque nah the whole site's C
00:49 mircea_popescu techniocally speaking apache is c too
00:49 trinque it's a site that scrapes 4chan for webms and archives them
00:49 decimation sure
00:49 mircea_popescu or was, at some point. before glibc
00:50 trinque he wrote the http thinger, all that

12:56 davout ben_vulpes: oh god
12:57 jurov how does "initial contract" resolve the problem of transfer without previous owner retaining the key?
12:59 davout you can specify the conditions under which you'd transfer the business to another key
12:59 jurov such as? all copies of previous owner's gpg key to be provably destroyed?
13:00 jurov :D
13:01 kakobrekla such as failing to sign 'ping' in time?
13:02 ben_vulpes !up ascii_field
13:03 davout jurov: well no, owner 1 deedbots "o hey, i'm out, speak to owner 2 starting July 1st 2015, kthxbye"
13:03 davout owner 2 has own key, problem solved
13:03 kakobrekla and if owner 1 dead?
13:03 kakobrekla or in captivity?
13:04 davout well, i guess you're fuxxored unless there was a sensible plan in place
13:06 jurov kakobrekla: but that's good idea for our keyserver. sign ping every month, otherwise keyserver publishes the key as dead
13:07 davout jurov: what would be the point?
13:08 jurov better than current "expiration date" mechanism
13:08 jurov (which mp effectively obsoleted)
13:10 davout how did he obsolete it? also key expiration and "dead" flag seem functionally quite different
13:10 ascii_field wai wat
13:11 jurov you usually don't know in advance when a key needs to expire or get invalidated
13:11 jurov and when you try to use this "expiry date" stuff, your mpex account expires,too
13:12 jurov whereby with this "dead" flag you issue non-expiring key and decide what happens and why
13:13 davout you can always extend the expiration date of a key
13:13 davout it's not set in stone
13:13 jurov mpex does not honor that
13:13 davout how do you know?
13:13 davout mpex either speaks GPG or it doesn't
13:14 jurov http://mpex.co/faq.html#18
13:14 jurov i had one time exemption, had to change the key to non-expiring
13:18 davout hmm, if it doesn't update keys you can start with a non expiring one and add the expiration date after opening your acct
13:28 ascii_field something like deedbot for key expirations (and the presently nonexistent but direly necessary expire-for-new-signatures-only) is inevitable
13:34 danielpbarron !up ascii_field
13:39 ascii_field and yes, the only way to solve the expire-for-new-sigs problem is, likely, to require blockchain turd emission for every single sig, for such a key

14:02 ascii_field jurov: however many
14:02 jurov and this can be in blockchain, too
14:03 ascii_field if there is a 'key is dead' token that one is relying on some third party to keep secret - it can be captured
14:03 jurov what?
14:03 jurov what third party?
14:04 ascii_field jurov: referring to the 'dead man switch' thread from earlier
14:04 jurov no recent pings seen in blockchain after $configurabletime = key dead
14:04 ascii_field jurov: when it is dead, how do you prevent folks from signing with it 'backwards in time' backdated to before death ?
14:05 ascii_field as i understand, the only way to do this is to require a blockchain 'ping' with -every- signature
14:05 jurov must sign current merkle tree
14:05 jurov stuff that cannot be predicted in advance
14:05 jurov !up ascii_field
14:06 ascii_field jurov: signing today's tree can be done tomorrow, no ?
14:07 jurov only the tree's date is considered for purposes of dead man's switch, what's the problem with it?
14:08 ascii_field jurov: for the purposes of establishing the time of a particular signature
14:08 ascii_field say key 'died'
14:08 ascii_field how to prevent folks from backdating signatures to when it was alive
14:09 jurov how would it help them?
14:09 ascii_field the whole point of 'expiring' a key is to prevent its use in the future
14:10 trinque ascii_field something like deedbot for key expirations (and the presently nonexistent but direly necessary expire-for-new-signatures-only) is inevitable << could you use a specific message format with the deedbot- as is?
14:10 ascii_field or rather, communicating authoritatively the statement that 'anyone using this key after this moment is an impostor'
14:10 trinque I could also make changes to the thing to accomodate; maybe it rolls over all messages looking for particulars, produces some output every X
14:10 jurov owner signed last merkle hash from a month ago, nothing seen from that key since
14:10 jurov so the consensus is the key is dead
14:11 ascii_field jurov: but what if someone 'unearths' a signature from last year that no one has seen before ?
14:11 kakobrekla ping timeout
14:11 jurov not valid anymore
14:11 ascii_field then useless idiocy

16:43 mircea_popescu historical accident.
16:43 mircea_popescu jurov absolutely.
16:43 ascii_field one could picture a few 'cheats.' consider one: key, when promulgated, contains a large but finite set of values Q such that hash(hash(...(P)...) = Q, while P are retained as private. every signature must contain a unique Q from this set. when it is time to retire the key, you spend the remaining 'bullets' all at once.
16:44 mircea_popescu ascii_field makes keys too big, doesn't actually offer anything other than the equivalent "at key promulgation, use it to sing a list of nonces, with understanding that statements w/io the nonce are void", let wot enforce this.
16:45 mircea_popescu which in turn reduces to cargo-cultish supersecurity.
16:45 mircea_popescu "oh, i encrypted this TWICE, it's much harder now!"
16:45 ascii_field one cannot claim the same degree of 'hardness' for this as for the actual rsa, correct
16:45 mircea_popescu there are some things that don't need fixing. what needs fixing re gpg is to use rsa throughout, rather than the current lulzatron.
16:45 ascii_field but there -must- be a way to proclaim, with all the certainty that can be mustered, the fact that 'i signed with this before but -never intend to again-'
16:46 mircea_popescu intentions need not be nor can they be part of signed matter.
16:46 ascii_field and have this cemented in blockchain, on babylonian stone plinths, wherever
16:46 mircea_popescu people have a way of coming to odds with their intentions
16:46 ascii_field fuck'em
16:46 mircea_popescu without human mediation, this is more of the "smart contracts" coolaid.
16:47 ascii_field we have technology that can, with some certainty, prove that i did something at a certain moment in epoch time, plus or minus ten minutes
16:47 ascii_field this plus rsa is good enough to sig-only-revoke.
16:47 ascii_field (the tech is called bitcoin)
16:48 mircea_popescu you have a comment field in the keys as they are now. put in there "This key not valid after block 175552"
16:49 ascii_field merely suggesting a machine-readable standard for this, yes.
16:49 ascii_field without the current idiotic retroactive cancellation of signatures
16:49 mircea_popescu i do not belive machines should have any imperium over valid keys.
16:50 ascii_field more of warning-light than imperium
16:50 mircea_popescu it's what they say.
16:50 ascii_field not that extant gpg honors expiration dates, to virtually everybody's great annoyance
16:50 ascii_field *note that
16:50 mircea_popescu i think the NOTION of expiration dates is broken.
16:51 mircea_popescu you can't un-discover some integers in a certan mathematical relation.
16:51 ascii_field it is only broken because it mixes abstraction-hardness levels, yes
16:51 ascii_field remember the 'what colour are your bits' article.
16:51 mircea_popescu right.
16:51 mircea_popescu very much along the lines of that.
16:51 ascii_field they cannot be undiscovered, yes. and don't have a baked-in temporal peg
16:51 mircea_popescu so, the key is there. how do you COLOR it, that's your job.
16:52 ascii_field pegging temporality requires some kind of agreement on mechanism
16:53 ascii_field otherwise you get disputes and wankery where there should be 2+2 certainty.
16:53 mircea_popescu there is necessarily not going to be 2+2 wankery.
16:53 mircea_popescu i mean certainty
16:53 ascii_field aha. but whatever approximation is physically possible, with clearly stated limits, ought to be achieved.
16:54 mircea_popescu what are you, from the gui department ?
16:54 ascii_field just as digital computer, theoretically, does not exist. but the approximation we use is 'almost same'
16:54 ascii_field i'm from the shit that actually works within physical limits dept.
16:54 mircea_popescu ah, but mind that there's no in principle reason a computer might not exist.

16:56 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132148 << a simple solution to this being, of course, just making a deed.
16:56 assbot Logged on 14-05-2015 18:10:26; ascii_field: or rather, communicating authoritatively the statement that 'anyone using this key after this moment is an impostor'
16:56 trinque and nobody's stopping anyone from signing some JSON or what have you
16:57 mircea_popescu My new key is X, use of Y key past this point is unsupported. Signed by Y.
16:57 ascii_field this oughta be machine-readable.
16:57 mircea_popescu as per trinque above.
16:57 mircea_popescu and it specifically should be 'unsupported'. For all you know a key ends up rediscovered five billion years later.
17:06 jurov yeah, cthulhu appears and says you rediscovered his 5bn old key which he proclaimed expired long ago
17:07 mircea_popescu lol
17:08 trinque so you could publish some schema for representing this and arbitrarily other such statements into the deedbot
17:08 trinque then make reference to that deed when you use that schema later down the way
17:09 trinque to me these are actually the most interesting use cases of the thing
17:21 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132163 << eh, i deprecated upgrading keys like i deprecating getting new suits.

17:22 mircea_popescu what is this, the army ?
17:24 jurov does the bank stops you from accessing your account when you get new suit?
17:25 BingoBoingo It does if new suit includes ski mask
17:25 mircea_popescu if it's any good, yes.

17:26 gribble The operation succeeded.
17:27 mircea_popescu jurov we're talking about this situation where the total number of keys mpex charges for is = to the maximal number of keys ever used. that is not happening.
17:28 jurov no it will inevitably be less
17:28 mircea_popescu heh
17:28 mircea_popescu ever used simultaneously*
17:30 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
17:31 ascii_field used simultaneously ?
17:31 mircea_popescu myeah.
17:32 ascii_field this is... 7th time? we had the 'mpex discourages key upgrade' thread ?
17:32 mircea_popescu if you can upgrade your key for free, you don't have to pay mpex, you can just find someone with a key they don't want to use anymore and they can "upgrade" theirs to yours.
17:32 mircea_popescu mpex does not discourage anything. mpex charges, because mpex is a business.
17:33 ascii_field aha, to upgrade key, mircea_popescu has to take a прогресс м-27м to orbit, and unscrew the old one, then retro-thruster and parachute capsule back to b-a
17:33 ascii_field this costs approximately 30 btc.
17:34 mircea_popescu keys are identities. identities have to qualify themselves. the qualification happens to be pay 30 btc.
17:34 mircea_popescu i don't happen to care who your daddy is.
17:34 jurov it's a racket yo
17:34 mircea_popescu im that democratic.
17:34 ascii_field mircea_popescu can charge 3000 btc if he likes, sure
17:35 mircea_popescu but i do suspect i should increase it.
17:35 mircea_popescu btc is way too cheap anyway.
17:35 * mircea_popescu is off to ponder this idea.
17:36 ascii_field aha too cheap. lusers like asciilifeform can almost afford 30
17:37 jurov mp is the only one to qualify being on mpex, didn't you know?
17:37 ascii_field it's his widget.
17:37 ascii_field how many zeros to weld on to the price, his business

17:38 jurov no, go on, annoy him
17:38 jurov if he adds several zeros, perhaps coinbr will see some volume after all
17:38 ascii_field or some competition, l0l
17:39 jurov they'd have to hire knuth himself to squeeze something usable out of that atrocious api
17:40 ascii_field jurov: i thought the gnarly api was part of the 'bozo filter' just as the price was
17:40 jurov yes and building something over it is yet another level
17:42 jurov i suspect boilers will have much better ROI than another honest broker
17:42 ascii_field better roi until pop, aha
17:44 ascii_field i'm kinda curious why mircea_popescu considers a new key signed with a previous key to not be a logical continuation of the same identity. (is it because of the impossibility of hard-guaranteed revocation, as discussed in previous thread?)
17:44 ascii_field perhaps when he wakes up again, will tell
17:45 jurov it's not set into stone, you know
17:45 ascii_field ?

23:40 williamdunne asciilifeform: Wouldn't it serve the opposite purpose, and encourage account reselling?
23:40 asciilifeform no relation to extant numbers. but serious question.

23:40 gribble 466.27029225
23:40 mircea_popescu omfg stop bitching privilege boy!
23:40 asciilifeform regardless of what is bought and sold by s.nsa, i can't eat any of it unless i buy mpex ticket.
23:40 mircea_popescu what is that, like 70% yours ?
23:40 asciilifeform which presently costs about what my organs are worth
23:41 mircea_popescu your organs are worth 10k ?
23:41 mircea_popescu what do you take yourself for, a 16yo girl ?
23:41 williamdunne asciilifeform: If you find a decent buyer, I'll give you 10% commission on a kidney.
23:41 mircea_popescu no value in organs of old men!
23:41 asciilifeform if correctly parcelled out and sold to americans, they could be worth 10k.
23:42 asciilifeform but mainly taken in proverbial 'organs worth' sense of 'more money than i ever expect to touch at one time'
23:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you recall the entire warrants business btw ?
23:42 asciilifeform aha
23:42 mircea_popescu that's what, another ~350 ish
23:43 mircea_popescu better start saving!
23:43 asciilifeform l0l saving.
23:44 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 52400 @ 0.00028599 = 14.9859 BTC [+] {2}
23:44 mircea_popescu anyway, here's some rosy glasses for you :
23:46 mircea_popescu suppose within the year cardano proves such a success s.nsa trades ~0.00020000 like s.bbet. at that point, your 70% share of the stock will be worth 663.1905 ; your warrants like another 663.1904. if btc is 1.2k at that point again, you're now worth a million and a half in benjies
23:46 mircea_popescu ima make sure the mpex fee is 1.250 mn or so at that point :D
23:46 asciilifeform which can turn into 0 when mircea_popescu resets the price of mpex ticket to equal 663.1905
23:46 asciilifeform aha.
23:46 mircea_popescu yeah but at least you had fun.
23:47 mircea_popescu better than vegas eh.
23:47 williamdunne Can't you access warrants and the similar through coinbr?
23:47 mircea_popescu (i also fucked up the math, warrants only worth like 330)
23:47 asciilifeform williamdunne: i will not use coinbr.
23:47 mircea_popescu williamdunne of course he can.
23:47 asciilifeform williamdunne: because wtf decay
23:48 mircea_popescu he can access them via otc, for that matter, just sell em to someone. but it makes little sense before share goes over par.
23:48 asciilifeform williamdunne: i couldn't use coinbr even if wanted to, because it would be a recurring btc cost and i have no btc-denominated income stream.
23:49 williamdunne Ah ok, fair nuff
23:49 mircea_popescu well... you could start polyamory-ing, and then getting a new girl each week and then tricking her into having her picture taken with weird numbers written on her chest.
23:49 mircea_popescu .4 a month.
23:49 mircea_popescu should cover coinbr
23:50 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i could also visit buenos aires via fart propulsion and wings made from garbage bags.
23:50 asciilifeform just as theoretically possible.
23:50 mircea_popescu what do you think this is, a gilliam movie ?
23:50 decimation I donno, how much energy can you extract from one colon's gas?
23:50 asciilifeform decimation: the same amount of girl pickup energy i have
23:51 decimation heh
23:51 mircea_popescu asciilifeform so buy a club.
23:51 asciilifeform l0l
23:51 mircea_popescu (one of my favourite jokes long ago. because i knew this ugly obnoxious dude who was kinda rape-y, and also kept buying clubs, as in, bars with music.)
23:51 asciilifeform 'do you believe in clubs for young people?' 'yes, but one ought to try kindness first'
23:52 williamdunne !s cardano cost

23:52 asciilifeform williamdunne: cost will inescapably have to adjust to exchange rate at time of mass production
23:53 asciilifeform williamdunne: component costs are denominated in usd and will likely be long after i'm dead

23:58 decimation ah, selling content
23:58 decimation no one believes that btc/usd is going to stay where it is for the long run
23:58 decimation so who would fund a business in present btc/usd?
