shinohai: I imagine the whole point of "difficult to export keyz" and "adding Bcrash and mETH support" is to help liberate derps from their real coin.
shinohai: afaik you can sweep keys and even export from blockchain, but is pita. No easy way to export any keys from there.
shinohai: Someone did a giveaway thread last night, another anon posted an addy - got bits sent - then rekt when he realized "I posted mah Bcash wallet"
mircea_popescu: lel. good thind 3addresses aren't accepted most places with actual money to spend.
mircea_popescu: let me guess, your not following usg.bitcoin "official" trunk makes charlie munger's wishful thinking that harder to "come true" ?
asciilifeform: dafuq is that , shinohai
shinohai: http://i.4cdn.org/b/1513961913273.png <<< This hilariousness ☟︎
asciilifeform: imho plenty of kochs to go around.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform worst comes to worst, suddenly conde nast or w/e usg.microsoft in the space suddenly decides it always wanted to spend some paper millions.
mircea_popescu: the current "i'm trying to make a non-cnn cnn" thing is doomed to fail and in the process waste your lives.
mircea_popescu: that's unfortunate. who owns the item then ?
weevlos: 2) thats only close to a month of operations budget ☟︎
weevlos: 1) that's not my call to make, i am only one employee ☟︎
mircea_popescu: how about that ?
mircea_popescu: and we can revisit this discussion in three months.
mircea_popescu: weevlos suppose i pay you 12`795 in cash to a) ditch the "domain name" and use IP permanently ; replace whatever ads you have with trilema links and never EVER link anything from the usg empire again.
weevlos: and i live in an area where the average salary is $170 a month, it is real money here
weevlos: generally it will be at least another thousand dollars ish
weevlos: which is variable, the best month i think i did 6 BTC
weevlos: plus extra tips from readers and viewers
weevlos: it pays me a couple thousand dollars worth of monero per month
weevlos: it pays more than any job i've had since the feds showed up in my life
mircea_popescu: weevlos that's fucking stupid, the media game. sooner or later you either become cnn or get bought by cnn. but humour me, how much does this "media publication" thing pay ?
weevlos: trinque: we are a media publication. our power and capital comes from the number of visitors we have to the site. we aim to transform through culture. if normal people cannot visit our site we are not accomplishing our goal ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( sores, for the dedicated entomologist : https://archive.is/TMSQ3 )
asciilifeform: 'You know it is one thing to think gold has some marvelous store of value because man has no way of inventing more gold or getting it very easily, so it has the advantage of rarity. Believe me, man is capable of somehow creating more bitcoin. … They tell you there are rules and they can't do it. Don't believe them. When there is enough incentive, bad things will happen.'
asciilifeform: and , on top of this ,
asciilifeform: n Earth you should think about … There's just a whole lot of things that aren't going to work for you. Figure out what they are and avoid them like the plague. And one of them is bitcoin. … It is total insanity."'
asciilifeform: from same rag, meanwhile, 'Warren Buffett's top lieutenant, Charlie Munger, is a bitcoin skeptic. Munger was asked for his views on cryptocurrencies during a University of Michigan's Ross School of Business event. "I think it is perfectly asinine to even pause to think about them," Munger said. "It's bad people, crazy bubble, bad idea, luring people into the concept of easy wealth without much insight or work. That's the last thing o
mircea_popescu: in other notes to the self, I was recently looking desperately for that discussion of the static/dynamic infantile error, but gave up in frustration. neverhteless, here it is : http://trilema.com/2016/why-is-that/#selection-221.55-225.273 ☟︎
lobbes: Oya, much safer to keep "controversial" facebook phriends from comfort of mom's basement (which, amusingly, not safe at all as Facebook is honeypot, but whatevs)
mircea_popescu: o right, little girls would have to cross into manhood ? ONOES
lobbes: That'd require crossing the threshold of doing something other than declaring "I am x"
mircea_popescu: skull torches!
mircea_popescu: how about overturn police car, empty govt employee innards, replace skin with gasoline from tank, burn that ?
mircea_popescu: oh wait, only accessible (at walmart, won't go to jail fgor using) yet still vaguely recognizable torch ersatz ?
mircea_popescu: but why the anti mosquito item ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 08:25 mircea_popescu: trinque citronella torches ?
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1756749 << you know, the 'ctrl-alt-right' version of the 'occupy wall street' hipsters. They go down to the $walmart and buy bakers dozen of those anti-mosquito 'tiki torches' people use at bbqs, then go $downtown and 'protest' something or other while calling themselves 'neo-nazis' or somesuch ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( i cut out 10 pounds for each 1 remaining, but naturally could not cut into the living meat , principle was 'what is actually called in gpg' )
asciilifeform: astonishing liquishit, and it takes quite a bit to astonish asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: JUST AS MARRIED AS ALL THE OTHERS
mircea_popescu: so fucking epic, "this was fixed four years ago so SIXTEEN YEARS of it being not fixed thereby went away"
asciilifeform: the doodles thing might apply to some of shitoshi's warcrimes. but not here.
asciilifeform: that was asciilifeform's point. the 'mens rea' is screamingly there
mircea_popescu: i suppose my point is muchly weakened by the evident effort at a cover-up
mircea_popescu: it's used in key primality testing ; but not otherwise.
asciilifeform: mpi_tdiv_q_2exp is in fact used in primegen.c , but in such a way that its brokenness doesn't affect the output , 'accidentally'
asciilifeform: i.e. discussion of the 'paint'.
asciilifeform: was used tho
mircea_popescu: the fact that it was not used in mpi anything might be an indication orig author just included some notes for later and forgot to mark them for anyone else.
mircea_popescu: i think PART of the problem is poor code-doodle separation.
asciilifeform: 'This bug has been with us since the version 0.0.0 of GnuPG' << lol!!
mircea_popescu: nevertheless ; it's a good model, and so there we go.
mircea_popescu: i'm a total waster.
diana_coman: ahaha, I admit I wouldn't put the time into modelling it to that degree
mircea_popescu is glad he put the time into it back then, because today couldn't be arsed.
shinohai: What do yo say to the girl with 2 black eyes? Nothing, she already been told twice.
mircea_popescu: hole fucking thing EXISTS, in the first place, AS A HUMONGOUS AND HUMONGOUSLY EXPENSIVE CLOCK! but why bother.
mircea_popescu: and it's entirely symptomatic and representative. whole fucking steaming pile of shit was designed, or rather, "designed" by a bright idiot who was capable to compose an info screen without a timestamp on it.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 17:38 mircea_popescu: anyway, continuing the trinque discussion, it seems entirely unavoidable that trb will become 3 things : a wallet node, optimized for pumping out local signed tx ; a block node, optimized for keeping the blockchain, getting blocks, no mempool nonsense ; and a spy node, optimized to keeping track of the lies and nonsense flowing through the relay network (mempool, timing nodes, what have you).
