ag3nt_zer0: asciilifeform: yes understood... and
thanks for your
time here!
ag3nt_zer0: so asciilifeform, if I have stored safely
the private key, do i need
the words
to unlock
that or something? or was it ok
to discard
the words?
ag3nt_zer0: but
they are called a "passphrase" here and
there
ag3nt_zer0: so once i had
the keypair i assumed
the words unecessary
ag3nt_zer0: i assumed until
today
that words were utilized
to create a keypair
ag3nt_zer0: with
the dictionary and
the dice and 13 words and all
that
ag3nt_zer0: i followed petes method except for
the printing. i instead hand wrote
the pub and priv... and i possess
those
a111: Logged on 2015-06-10 17:13 ascii_field: incidentally, most people are already using
the worst aspects of brainwallet -and- conventional crypto
ag3nt_zer0: but it looks is
this guy is speaking of not being able
to access
the privkey because said example forgot
the words reveal
that key, and neither did
the person write down
the privkey?
ag3nt_zer0: to be clear i was re-reading pete's article and followed
the reddit link
to
the guy who lost
the 4BTC and it was
this comment
that got me all wound up: "The passphrase has
to be random (and necessarily, difficult
to memorize).
There is no way around
this, period. If
the prospect of memorizing 12 random words is daunting
to you (and it should be - if you forget it, your money is gone),
then don't use a brain wallet."
ag3nt_zer0: i
think
the confusion for me stems from hearing
two different descriptions of brain wallets - one described as a way
to, if i recall correctly, convert a privkey
to a string of words
to
then be memorized and carried in brain over international borders or what not... and
the other encounter I have with
this concept is pete's method of generating a high entropy keypair and I am pretty sure I am answering my own question here but wou
ag3nt_zer0: it feels like a no-brainer but ahhh... if I use pete_dushenski's high entropy wallet method, I only need
the private key generated by
the words right? I dont need
to keep
the words... seems obviously dumb when I write it but
the redditards are
throwing me off here
ag3nt_zer0: i have a question I am a bit
terrified
to ask
BingoBoingo: Kinda
the point, pantsuit loses whole demographic
trinque has only hearsay knowledge of
the subj, but
thought old fags going for young dudes was
the rule.
BingoBoingo: Apparently now in addition
to "allies" homosexual men have become problematic for pantsuit
BingoBoingo: "Star
Trek" icon George
Takei has been accused of sexual assault by a former model and actor stemming from an incident
that allegedly occurred in 1981. Scott R. Brunton alleged
that when he was 23 years old,
Takei
took advantage of him after
the
two had returned from a night out
together. Brunton explained
that he has been hesitant
to come forward about
the alleged incident for years, because he felt no one would believe him."
BingoBoingo: Naturally
this prognostication ignores
the pansuit purging of
their pretense at cultural capital with: "Firing up at
the end of
this month is a maybe. Firing up before
the end of 2017 is looking incredibly Likely.
ben_vulpes: not complicated enough
to survive in
the brave new world.
ben_vulpes: ps2,
the depths of my golden era hardware ignorance knows no plumb
ben_vulpes: let me know if you recall with what
to look up
this ots part
ben_vulpes: yup, going
to have some fun pulling
the
thing apart.
ben_vulpes extracted a apple extended keyboard ii from
the parental domus
this morning, only
to find
that a)
the capslock key has a physical lock and b) apparently needs some nutty 'teensy' micro
to
turn
the ancient proprietary 'apple device bus' serial format into usb; and
turning it into serial is apparently Just Not Done
mod6: every now and
then
they get behind a few blocks.
mod6: good
to be watchin
tho.
BingoBoingo: Well, other node has unrotated debug.log but is further behind
than 494022
BingoBoingo trying
to find
that point. May have been rotated over.
BingoBoingo: Seems
to be where a lot of
TRB nodes are shown stalled.
BingoBoingo wondering what
the weird might be with block 494023

those
tiger economies)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-11 04:33 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just what
the bolix wanted huh

the major winner ? why, persia, now called iran.
teh age of sail adventure having been chewed up and spit out,
the world is going back
to itself.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-24 17:25 asciilifeform: or, more famously, a character referring
to 'general motors' ends up speaking of a Генерал Моторс
a111: Logged on 2017-11-11 06:27 BingoBoingo: Yeah. Anyways,
transition from "hero spies at least speak French"
to "Don't
trust
them Ruskies,
they learn our language!!!"
a111: Logged on 2017-11-11 06:31 mircea_popescu: but
to revisit upstack :
the item contemplated, 80 car lanes on each side of 30
traintrack lines would redefine a number of
things.
the new
town
then becomes...
the switching station. every unit-of-distance
the 30
tracks
turn into a switch yard, 120 lines, 600 lines, whatever. in between
these,
the
traintracs are fully reversible, meaning
the
trains run in arbitrary directiosn! around
this yard is
then built
town, out of serv
mircea_popescu: for
the same money could say "car is
the great equalizer, crossover and 1960s era euro cars same
thing"
mircea_popescu: there's few
things less "equal"
than say male anal sex receptacle and female anal sex receptacle.
BingoBoingo: In still further equalitarian studies outta Harvard: "As with most proceedings at Harvard,
the anal sex workshop placed great emphasis on equality. After
the presenter noted
that “not all men have penises, not all women have vaginas,” she argued
that “the butthole is
the great sexual equalizer. All humans have a butthole.”"
mircea_popescu: lol
this chick is retarded. hopefully lafond bagged her dumb ass, wtf, "he didn't say
this jokingly". rly bitch, was he really liek some military guy ?
BingoBoingo: There's probably reasons for colonies
to still be interesting in mega road world, but not
the ones
that
though
themselves empires
mircea_popescu: and consequently
the future chances of any kind of islam
that's not
the deeply sensuous
thing of
the 1300s is zilch. saudis are headed
the same place new york went.
mircea_popescu: the major winner ? why, persia, now called iran.
teh age of sail adventure having been chewed up and spit out,
the world is going back
to itself.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which means
the "civilised world" reduces
to europe, china coast, and a 2-3-4mn sqkm
thin strip uniting
them, with
The Road in
the middle and civilisation reaching out .a coupla hundred units perpedngicularily north and south.
BingoBoingo: Well, plenty of pickup
trucks. Just like suburbia
there will be a subset of folks who purchase such
to swear
they've been off of mega road with it before.
mircea_popescu: which is how
this works.
take say unit-of-distance,
the yet undefined item of
the future,
to 100km.
that means ~100
towns
the whole length of
this ; it also means a local delivery max range of 200km is ample : if you needed more
than
that you should have just sent
teh goods one station further up/down.
mircea_popescu: except not so many
trucks, since rail readily available.
BingoBoingo: Not
to mention,
those
truck stops will prolly be hella wild
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 18:42 mircea_popescu: merv, or generally
the mongol reduction of persia from a coupla million
to a coupla hundred
thousand is
the fundamental civilisational act. not
the building of
the scum, but
the purging of it. much like "writing prb" is not an achievement in computer science ; but purging it into
trb is.
mircea_popescu: it has
to. basically, it's mongol horde v2.0 (this is not well understood
today, but
the mongol horde was first and foremost -- its roadmaking.
they had a sort of "red carpet roll"
they went on).
BingoBoingo: Short story of
the
transition is from George Lazenby as James Bond
to Bruce Willis as accidenticop
