mircea_popescu: well, be all that as it may, i do hope that before i die i reach that enchanted nirvana where i don't have to deal with anyone other than mps.
asciilifeform: i was sorta having this thread with mod6 earlier:
jurov: if i come with something usable, then vpatch
punkman: I thought the point is to put in others' mouths
jurov: i'd say the answer was "beat the universe down till it allows you to be mircea_popescu"
asciilifeform: ~~~ once upon a time, a disciple asked mircea_popescu: 'how do i become a mircea_popescu ?'

assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 17:07:47; asciilifeform: do i need to actually read this thing
asciilifeform: and i answer, 'not ~yet~'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ahahaha right. let me know when you've seen geysers of shit spewing from your bathtub<<< i don't live in the fucking swamp.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i can hardly think of better name than 'vuvuzela' for a usg idiocy built solely to drown out intelligent thought
asciilifeform: it was the only reason i had it.
mod6: oh yeah, i see.
mod6: i thought 'wild' mode is simply when no one in wot has provided a seal corresponding to a given vpatch
asciilifeform: i did a good bit of this
asciilifeform: just as if i had cut out a single line of a single file, and a subsequent patch relies on that line.
mod6: i haven't quite figured out what to do about this scenario yet.
mod6: I guess that makes sense since it wouldn't share any antecedents with the original graph.
mod6: oh, i see, so like if a patch further down the line (in time) remove a file that a specific sub tree relies upon, that those become removed?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: have you tested it with 'false' entries? (files which were newly created) << this is a good test. it should just do what its supposed to do 'as is' I think? this line will grab the 'b' of the vdiff; my $file_hash = $vp_map{$vp}{$src_file_name}{b};
thestringpuller: I was talking pre-wot days. But sure, I understand what you are saying.
thestringpuller: I've only heard of OS exploits being "sat on" for long periods of time.
assbot: Logged on 06-07-2015 01:24:01; mircea_popescu: "you wanted to benefit from responsible disclosure protections, you should have been in the wot" "but at the time i made that decision it seemed a no brainer, why expend the effort" "right. this is why you die."
punkman: thousands of dollars, maybe even Millions if the exploit was executed correctly with the right amount of people. Anyway so after i got my bounty and moved on they put some kind of "secret" ban on my account"
punkman: "Instead of abusing the exploit i have decided to help Coinbase fix the exploit by telling them step to step instructions on how to reproduce the bug on hackerone.

thestringpuller: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3xksss/coinbase_bans_me_after_i_help_them_fix_major/ << oh look coinbase is officially a scam.
mod6: I think this is pretty much what we want. I'll start writing some automated tests for this.
asciilifeform: do i need to actually read this thing ☟︎
liquidassets: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-12-2015#1347566 <If I'd of die tonight I'd of die a little happier ☝︎
mircea_popescu: man i like the smell of new hardware.
trinque: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-11-2014#937160 << fix your script; i.e. download only bundles you've never seen, or don't you know how crypto sigs work ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 01:13:56; mod6: asciilifeform et. al. V question: Should I verify the hashes after all patches are vpressed, or after each pressed vpatch in the topological order?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348246 << and waitsec how on earth would you even try to verify hashes ~after all the patches are pressed~ << yah, i dunno. didn't go that direction. it validates now after each vpatch is pressed. ☝︎
mod6: it's not fully tested yet -- tomorrow I'll pass the testable version around and some people can give it a try.
mod6: ok I have made some additions, and this is what I've come up with:
BingoBoingo: "Solution : Running with suspenders! No FUPA issues. I'll take a picture next time to illustrate better. It's amazing what a $5 pair of suspenders from Ace hardware will do to keep a FUPA in check. "

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348295 << was reading log backwards and thought this was about drainpipes (an actual problem where i live) ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348260 << this is necessary (apparently i have to explain it) because WE DON'T HAVE a known-good 'patch' util ☝︎
mircea_popescu: from what i hear past 300 or so a valid strategy becomes to just ejaculate and wait for the flies.
mircea_popescu: s to capture leads (since I had no product, that was just a test to see if there was demand). Then I bought a few dollars in Adwords to drive traffic to it."
mircea_popescu: I was reading The Lean Startup at that time, which is a great book, but not completely fool proof (here is a fool who got it wrong). I started well: in December I created a very basic idea and rough screens of my team management web tool. In January I built a very basic 2 page website with a video explaining what Teamometer.com did and a “try it free” button, which then lead to a page for inputting the email addres
mircea_popescu: "Two years ago, on December 2011, I was generating ideas for a business that would help team managers to not suck so much at managing their teams. I came up with this idea because I had some pretty terrible managers in my life. At the same time I worked for about 5 years with leadership development and had some pretty great teams and team experiences. Exactly January 1st 2012 I registered the domain teamometer.com."
mircea_popescu: "What I learned from my failed startup after 2 years, 300 users and zero revenue"
BingoBoingo: I don't even know anymore.
mod6: i suppose i can just 'die' if one doesn't verify after each vpatch pressed. maybe that makes better sense.
mod6: if we wait until the end, we'll save some cycles -- and mathematically the hashes wouldn't come out right if somehow the files were diddled inbetween. but I can see some merit in checking after each patch is pressed.

diana_coman: mircea_popescu> this girl's a born optimist is she <- I even gave optimistic conclusions ! at each point!! lolz
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i suppose should prolly call it fleet in being for historical reasons, but anywya. << gotcha
asciilifeform: i happen to know that in a four-story, four-block office bldg full of secretutes, a plumber is necessary more or less 1+/day
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 00:49:28; mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm getting used to the ~$30 contractor bills around here. 4 hour's labour, with tools and consumables. reasonable.
asciilifeform: i saw nylon luger rounds (shell AND bullet) sold.
mircea_popescu: i know why they went for it, but really. fucking dumb.

asciilifeform: ah i recall
asciilifeform: (and i would argue that any kind of node whatsoever on aws or similar, is equivalent to a pseudonode instance)
assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 05:51:36; mircea_popescu: which is why i am not ever giving it up. the freedom to threaten is not merely my fundamental, unassailable sovereign property, but moreover essential for the construction of effectual instruments to squash the socialists and their golums.
mircea_popescu: i suppose should prolly call it fleet in being for historical reasons, but anywya.
asciilifeform: but this is only mildly interesting and i will probably forget to watch very soon.
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 23:40:46; mircea_popescu: i've had it with this age of bullshit-reason where you gotta explain things to idiots with a first-paragraph-of-many-wikipedia-articles education as if everything can, or indeed should, be put in those terms.
BingoBoingo: Oh, dulap is the one I've been connected to for a while nao

asciilifeform: because mine, as everybody knows i think, did not.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-12-2015#1348022 << there is no other way to do it! what i was asking was whether anybody's 'v' actually verifies that patching in the given sequence actually yields files having specified hashes. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but hey, they're fiat-based leeches and think in terms of "can i sell this bitcoin"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, YOU being forked off the real bitcoin can happen quite easily, and is incurable. so you think "you sent bitcoin" ? i don't see it.
punkman: I think we've listed various reasoned objections here

mod6: if it does, I may have overlooked that somehow.
mircea_popescu: "c thinks arrays are strings, mp" "oh i see, makes sense"
mircea_popescu: why does ecc.c include string.h or should't i be asking these sorts of questions ?
mircea_popescu: "after dropping them off I sat in the rental car staring at air. Crying. Feelings of fear, anger, self-righteousness and uncertainty overwhelmed me." << he has all the patience to consider all the inept minutia of his gender-confused identity. he has not the slightest fucking shred of interest or self-awareness to go "hey, waitasecond, why do i gotta lie again ?"
punkman: this might be the shortest one I've seen, no 256k1 though https://github.com/esxgx/easy-ecc/blob/master/ecc.c
mircea_popescu: had a speaking engagement in the other end of the country, pitching to a huge room full of potential customers. It was an absurd experience. I was crumbling on the inside but had to pose confidently. " << why the fuck ? just... why ? nobody ever asks this. "i had to lie". really ? why did you have to lie ?
