mircea_popescu: yes but i'm not in the business of carpentry.

asciilifeform: but i'm blown away by the maurer & massey thing
asciilifeform: rate is zero across currencies and issue Bitcoin 2.0 based on incoming bitcoin and signatures made by participating addresses. This means the issuance honors mining until the end of bitcoin and can be more than total bitcoin present. I suspect 1 BTC 2.0 will have the spending power of 1 USD current by issuance. My pedigree.'
asciilifeform: 'I have been involved in Bitcoin since before the "Mt. Gox Fast Pay" thread that produced Bitinstant. My law cases make me the bearer of Bitcoin 2.0 no matter what. Bitcoin 2.0 is simply my daemon forked from a sued Ripple Labs qualified as an invention with features added and the Bitcoin upgrade address 1J7CAm6bavGcG52xgobn8n9ScnAzH8JZUm - I have pledged to drain the exchanges until exchange
asciilifeform: i can even see the dirigle algebra involved here !
mircea_popescu: so as you can no doubt follow, asciilifeform from the political considerations discussed it follows that while i don't allow for the possibility of "quantum computer", i don't disallow your implementing a scheme which would be deemed (by idiots) as "quantum resistant".
mircea_popescu: alowing the possibility that this scam is actually worth taking seriously costs the people who follow what i say whatever it may cost them. ☟︎
asciilifeform: back to earlier's thread, i am willing to pascal's wager on shor's algo SO LONG AS it costs me nothing.
mircea_popescu: if i meant does not work at all i would make no mention whatever.

mircea_popescu: fucking bullshit omfg. i am not PRETENDING the problem doesn't exist. the problem does factually not exist.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah and precisely the point, i would like to learn ~what~ cannot be done any more

diana_coman: fwiw the google thing looked all right to me re features, but I wasn't too sure re who made it, lol
mod6: i think i'll have to drive out a poc of one of these frameworks at some point. not now though, too much other stuff to get done first.
mircea_popescu: i thought you suggested it maybe.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I asked mod6 if he knew of some good testing tools for cpp as I am not up to date with the landscape on that for cpp
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's actually better to pick a one thing and get everyone to use that.
asciilifeform: i've experimented with tcp replay for testing
mircea_popescu: mod6 the principle is sound. i have nfi as to the choice, but the principle is sound.
mod6: i wasn't too clued on C++ testing frameworks. but mockito is pretty helpful with stuff, so something similar in C++ space would be nice.
mircea_popescu: i dun see a problem there.
mircea_popescu: mod6 understand, i'm not going to necessarily act on my prejudices. just being upfront.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i will confes i am prejudiced against it just for having google in its name.
mod6: i might have to go on a wild goose chase with this some time, post release when I have more time.
asciilifeform: so what i was thinking is,

shinohai: Because if I am useful for nothing else around here it is breaking things.
mircea_popescu: 1998-10-26 Terry Ritter: "I would hope that anyone reading Schneier's article would recognize that it is seriously flawed in many ways."

assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 00:06:01; ascii_butugychag: i thought adlai ~had~ a trade - tank mechanic
BingoBoingo: In other news, Cruz/Trump/Rubio's odds are all levelling out on BitBet after fucking Kasich won 2nd to Trump in NH. I blame that disloyal hamplanet Chris Christie.

mats: and the public idapython plugins seemed more feature complete, so i went from there
mats: its what i learned
asciilifeform: lulzily, i actually liked the built-in debugger in ida.
mats: overall progress is pretty slow. i would benefit from a mentor, but none of the greybeards i know, have time for me
asciilifeform: i confess, i do not usually read his thing
asciilifeform: because i have nfi
asciilifeform: and possibly he handled one of mircea_popescu's synthetic assetrons, but i genuinely don't recall, this is far from my home planet
asciilifeform: mats: i well recall that it was a proper, orderly, military pant-shitting, don't worry

asciilifeform: pete_d_out: i mainly associate him with american army and related matters
pete_d_out: he did do some solid homework there, i concede.
pete_d_out: i'd like to sumbit that mats be removed from the lordship list on the upcoming go-around. tis but a humble proposal to my fellow lords.
pete_d_out: on the topic of the lordship list, can someone please tell me what 'fief' mats is fighting for ? pogo distribution ? pgp server thing he started then quit ? other things ? i'm genuinely curious. he doesn't contribute ~that~ much to the debates here that i can see, though he's certainly not invisible, but most of what i glean from his commentary is along the lines of "windows isn't so bad u guise", which, i guess, is what it is. anyways,
asciilifeform: (and yes, i am aware that the 'official' items are also made in cn. but they are NOT chinese in the usual sense, there are taskmasters ruthlessly driving the slaves and testing conformance to spec)
asciilifeform: i saw a chinese one melt, with my own eyes
pete_d_out: more recent than i woulda thunk
