nubbins`: if i had travelled with a friend, i wouldn'
t have been nearly so reckless
nubbins`: i'd be dead if it weren'
t for the kindness of strangers
nubbins`: plus, when you travel solo, you take way more risks that you wouldn'
t necessarily otherwise
mircea_popescu: nubbins` why can'
t you do the fuck you want with a woman in tow ?
mjr_: they don'
t get their hand dirty with small transactions
mjr_: when you live in shitty places, and have no hope, you really don'
t care about violence or killing
mjr_: i'm not saying people don'
t intimidate
mjr_: lol i don'
t know what you are doing
mjr_: so i don'
t borrow bricks expecting to default
mjr_: i don'
t do crimes thinking i will get caught and convicted
nubbins`: granted, i don'
t think they intended to kill the guy
mircea_popescu: well... those idiots don'
t survive and shouldn'
t have existed in the first place
phungus: it wasn'
t actual blotter, just artwork
mjr_: also, you don'
t have to manage user funds, and take that liability
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well yeah they won'
t. but there's no solid argument, and that's important.
nubbins`: well, my house is owned by the bank. doesn'
t mean they can come take my television.
mircea_popescu: no better than the guy you're supposedly prosecuting. in fact, worse. he traded, he didn'
t steal.
mircea_popescu: This seems an opportune time to add, for the benefit of readers who weren'
t around in the 1980's, that the law pertaining to in rem forfeitures developed in the context of narcotics seizures. Prior to that, the legal maxim, the law abhors a forfeiture, was the rule, and judges were generally antagonistic to forfeiture proceedings.
mircea_popescu: actually if the us residend youth wasn'
t braindamaged, there'd be a bunch of "DRUGS" labeled containers everwhere
mircea_popescu: lol the entire "gimme money" uncle sam tactics don'
t work so well in btc ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` hey you canadian folks didn'
t also teach logic did you
nubbins`: doesn'
t hold a candle to that, i guess
ThickAsThieves: D3, why do you always wanna do things that can'
t be done, and then execute on things that shouldnt be done?
mircea_popescu: how about the govt can'
t be zen until it passes you and the future wife can;'
t be zen untill she marries you and gets pregnant ?
nubbins`: but you can'
t be zen if you don'
t pass your government exams
ThickAsThieves: isn'
t buddhism like nihilism made into a less depressing concept
nubbins`: well, if they decided that agriculture belonged in the south, then seoul wouldn'
t exist
nubbins`: so media doesn'
t get around to serious coverage til the following monday
pankkake: in the journalists' minds "racially diverse" and "urbanized" is just a way to make them Good Guys. it doesn'
t matter if it's accurate
pankkake: transforming America into something unrecognizable and urbanized is just a way to make them Good Guys. it doesn'
t matter if it's accurate
mircea_popescu: dear all... i think you'd better review your legal budged. it jpm can'
t quite afford it...
jurov: mircea_popescu: isn'
t it float?
mircea_popescu: dexX7 nope, i don'
t have software that does the signature stuff.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t even dare imagine what'd have happened should anyone have taken garzik's alternative exchange seriously and puit money/effort into that
BingoBoingo: dexX7: I don'
t know if that is sarcasm, but yes. That is actually incredibly useful to have.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: Still, there is no reason why Bitcoin address signed messages can'
t have a container like GPG signatures do. It would be so much easier to demonstrate this is broken or solid if only there were a standard container for signed messages.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure, just for shits and giggles I will hope it isn'
t some PRNG problem.
BingoBoingo: Jere_Jones: If they don'
t know to scroll up or check logs why are they on the internet and not Facebook.
BingoBoingo: Jere_Jones: Honestly it doesn'
t seem like a matter where I need their expertise so much as they need my accident. I mean if they know how this IRC thing works they will know to scroll up.
Jere_Jones: BingoBoingo: It appears that the people with the expertise you need aren'
t paying attention in #bitcoin-dev. I'd try back in 12 hours.
Jere_Jones: I wonder if Havelock is being DDOS'd or if they just can'
t handle the load of being the stock exchange that receives the most traffic.
[\]: address signing isn'
t a replacement for gpg signing
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Rather sure. I don'
t have a key for that other address in any of my wallets. The pages on the blog were some of the few things I remember making sober.
[\]: Are you sure you even signed it and didn'
t copy the sig from someone else?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo are you sure you didn'
t sign with that other address tghrough some process involving for instance vodka ?
BingoBoingo: Maybe the problem isn'
t the signature or the message. Maybe Bitcoin Address signing is just fucked.
BingoBoingo: Jere_Jones: At the most charitable where there isn'
t a collision it ought probably assumed at a minimum Bitcoin address signing merely sucks and is poorly implemented. If you are the sort who goes for minimums.
BingoBoingo: The problem is that 1LC9GzYK1zjrG9zAvMPExcwHTP8aPYPMyY could have signed the same message. Maybe it could have signed a more malicious message. Fuck. Just because elliptic curves are sexy doesn'
t mean they should be used everywhere.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The key wasn'
t generated on a web based service, but a web based service turned the public key into an unexpected address.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: This isn'
t GPG. It is RIPEMD 160 being able to assign a public key two (maybe more) bitcoin addresses.
mircea_popescu: jurov it couldn'
t identify a good key, but it could identify a bad one
jurov: and i don'
t see how would devote hours to try cracking all submitted keys like the researchers did
jurov: which is why it doesn'
t pop as much ? lol
mircea_popescu: the knc ppl are slightly underfeeding it,w hich is why it doesn'
t pop as much ?
jurov: and it can'
t be changed for water cooler, can be?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reason it can'
t work in reverse gear is that fiat is worthless.
Namworld: No idea, can'
t remember who it was who made the port.
Namworld: Hmm, did something change with MPEx? pyMPEx doesn'
t work it seems.
jborkl: capacitors can'
t be damaged by having current applied "before they've discharged their load"
jborkl: EDIT: I should add that KnC are using Corsair V850s themselves, and haven'
t had an issue with any of them. That said apparently they almost supplied their entire hosting with the HX, but due to the HX being out of stock for the volume required, they bought the V850. Which in hindsight is a wonderful thing.
mircea_popescu: and moreover it seems the majority of people i showed the pics to say those aren'
t electrolytic but ceramic
samson_: If anyone can create a security then I don'
t see the big deal. The approval process would happen automatically if people started trading them for Bitcoin. Take these new alt currencies which appear to be created daily - they're not all traded on exchanges hence they're not 'approved'. They still exist but that is irrelevant.
pankkake: I'm not well versed in trade engines, but I don'
t see how you could execute them in a decentralized way
jurov: it's just better for everyone if they don'
t skinnkavaj: mircea_popescu: Didn'
t both litecoinglobal and btct have very huge fees?
mircea_popescu: supposedly if you torrent some movie you're also open sourcing it, cause you don'
t need a license in the first place to cede rights.
LorenzoMoney: yes, a decentralized stock exchange would be wonderful, wouldn'
t it
pankkake: "I'm posting my idea here since it hasn'
t gotten much attention in the Project Development forum (0 replies)"
ThickAsThieves: i started actually responding and making points, but it doesn'
t help of course
pankkake: "i suspect it's quite possible none of the recent kids ever got to use desktops and simply don'
t know the glory of comfort." yup
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's quite possible none of the recent kids ever got to use desktops and simply don'
t know the glory of comfort.
mircea_popescu: lol. im sorry, but i have to rely on reams of intel. i can'
t personalyl know everyone.
davout: well, don'
t go out of your way
davout: yeah so it isn'
t really supposed to be "The safe vault for your precious keys"(TM)
mircea_popescu: anyway. that sort of thing isn'
t the usecase here, not really. a classic pc implementation works much better.
mircea_popescu: well i can'
t find it. somewhere phil zimmermann was saying that people still send him pgp encrypted email but he long since doesn'
t have the key so he usually responds to ask ppl to send it plainly
