ascii_field: so no one can say that i speak of hypotheticals.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i have been to free-time-land and it was the one part of my life that was actually worth living
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 20:33:45; BingoBoingo: The one time I encounter a hate movement with quality momentum to take off it gets fucking banned.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> i know exactly what i want to be free of. << my tao cat smile is thiiiiis wide
trinque: I take a breath because thats what a functioning human body does
trinque: this in my ignorance, I think, grasps for an explanation for why the rich don't simply count their gold all day
trinque: that I can choose to ignore my desires or not, but I have not yet found the controls if any for desiring itself
ascii_field: i, for instance, have sufficient undeveloped inventions to occupy me were i to live even 10,000 years
trinque: I'm skeptical of the american notion of individualism, but am not precisely sure how far to take that skepticism ☟︎
danielpbarron: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHKc3liU0AAMckE.jpg << check out my new business card (sorry nubbins` I'm not ready to be a baller yet)
trinque: particularly considering human societies, do I want to be "totally free" whatever that means, playing cards on the worlds nicest beach, or do I want to be a part of the best-functioning giant human meat robot
ascii_field: i know exactly what i want to be free of.
trinque: I tend to think it's a bad concept to work with
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159520 << re: "high functioning autism" -- I just found out about this internet phenomenon -> https://youtu.be/wEKLxgRJnAc?t=2m20s ☝︎☟︎
shinohai: You got me interested in that pogo thingy. I got one ordered.
danielpbarron: shinohai, my 0.5.3.x pogo is 6 blocks behind my 0.7.2 full size machine, and I'm not sure if it's because the network doesn't like two nodes asking for the same blocks from the same IP or what
ascii_field: ;;later tell pete_dushenski i got it, but you oughta post it publicly.

ascii_field: pete_dushenski: i thought this was a mac binary ?!
hanbot: <asciilifeform> http://thewhet.net/2015/browder-the-bitcoinless << do you recall tlp's 'if you're reading it, it's for you' maxim? consider, why is this fella on front page of nyt? vs the $maxint other folks held without trial << i do remember, yeah. results of recommended consideration are grotesque for sure. all the more reason to hang out in here.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159715 << now, i didn't see with own eyes. nor do i have own intel dept. like mircea_popescu. but from the evidence presently known to me - yes. ☝︎
mod6: no, its just straight v0.5.3.1-RELEASE, i'll get to buildroot eventually.
mod6: I did have to copy over all of the openssl headers as you were saying once upon a time, but maybe i'm missing something else.
mod6: I'm using uclibc, so far going well.
mod6: I haven't looked too deep into it, maybe something I missed. I did apply your & ascii's patches. http://dpaste.com/0DSP4BS.txt
nubbins`: i don't think so, log me up
mod6: hey nubbins`, did you ever see that issue on gentoo that I was talkin about lastnight?
danielpbarron: i woulda bought it
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: I still favor Rural king where you can get flowers, carhart, circus peanuts, and an AR-15 in the same trip
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: i want -your- binary
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: wake me up when you catch him. i'd like a finger or toe as keychain.
ascii_field: ms-dos was not asked to do very much. at least, at first. but i still remember screwing with qemm, xms, etc. towards the last years. ☟︎
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely certain that 'we' (en masse) -ever- had 'usable software'
thestringpuller: "Even as an avid Bitcoiner, I can't stand waiting for bitcoinqt to sync. Makes me wonder if Gavin/Mike sabotaged it." via https://twitter.com/BitcoinErrorLog/status/608621825703223296
ascii_field: i'll take that 'heavy'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i get it, 'heavy is the crown' etc
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: how much 'freed' is achievable by mortals can be debated, but i'd settle for mircea_popescu-grade 'freed.'
ascii_field: ^ i find this example utterly opaque
ascii_field: all i personally want out of a hypothetical 'be rich' is for my daylight hours to belong to me and only me
hegemoOn: but if you are not interested i can understand, just wanted to share a good paper :)
hegemoOn: mircea_popescu: i think most of bitcoin trade are outside wot :)
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159520 << l0l mircea_popescu, last i checked i was paying rent with usd, 100% of which comes from the fine fella i work for at $dayjob. ☝︎
hegemoOn: i wanted to share this arxiv.org research paper on bitcoin : http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01513
ascii_field: (i personally was only in it by accident, and one cannot replicate an accident)
ascii_field: well, i personally only witnessed ~3 yrs of it, on account of the garden of eden having went under

ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159517 << again it is very easy to simulate the limp if -no one if checking- and it is enough to say 'yeah i limp' see the bureaucracy thread. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: to cover for the fact that i can go into the chambers of the ny comissioner for finance, and rape him.
mircea_popescu: i can guarantee the schmuck in question had no "batallion", on the plain grounds that there isn't such a thing.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159515 << ah, him. i think diametric knew the fellow. ask'im ☝︎
ascii_field: i just love the weird twist of the tongue - symptom of some mental fissure, surely
mircea_popescu: i agree, it is.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 18:43:12; mircea_popescu: HOPE was last weekend (I didn't go) and finally the design specification has been posted along with the audited code. It appears that my initial concerns were warranted, each key is generated directly from the user's pass-phrase with no salt, thus leaving the true amount of entropy in the key generation process highly unknown.
mircea_popescu: uh wrong url. i meant http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159124 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159107 << you're right, i have very little patience and give very little credit to the affectations of people. the usians are not special in this regard - like i don't give a shit for the argentines' or the romanians', similarly i don't give a shit there. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: to quote the pawnbroker, "more like a stench, if i remember"
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 13:41:24; asciilifeform: i suppose i should clarify, again, that i wasn't speaking of -actually working- as bureaucrat - that is, sitting in meetings, filing reports in triplicate. just that being paid to do, in effect, whatever the fuck you want, is almost like being rich.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 13:38:16; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159011 << this has to win some sort of prize for 'martial in atomic dirigible.' EVERYBODY i ever met in usa works for salary. i suppose it follows that neither i nor anyone i know in meatspace is 'even half-competent.'
mircea_popescu: (and yes, i know these things from experience - i have the benefit that i can order slave girls do anything.)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159094 << it's not merely that i don't think. i know they can not. you try simulating a limp with working legs, see where it gets you. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: the sole source for entropy in the ECC key generation. At the time of the debate, Nadim suggested I wait until the big unveiling at HOPE to pass judgement as he had some research into secure human-generated pass-phrases that he was going to share.
mircea_popescu: Prior to this years HOPE conference, a few articles appeared touting Nadim Kobeissi's new project, miniLock and him and I got into a heated debate regarding some issues that I, as a certified non-cryptographer, was concerned about in his design (at least what I could gather from it from the pre-release Wired article). The essence of my concerns boiled down to the fact that in miniLock, Nadim is using the human user as
BingoBoingo: Mozilla 1999, IE 5.5+, Opera since version 4, also works on Chromium and Midori that I tested
thestringpuller: i wonder how much irc traffic is referred by qntra/loper/trilema to here
referredbyqntra: I see.
referredbyqntra: I tried with and without link to deedbot.org but it barfs the same. Maybe allergic to -----
referredbyqntra: That's the response when I try to put your declaration in there.
ascii_field: i normally presume 'fella knowing what he's doing' as the subject of my ruminations.
ascii_field: i urge mircea_popescu to eat some top ice cream and think of this.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i can see that angle.
ascii_field: i would also like to point out that framing the question of key quality in terms of 'bits of entropy' is slightly misleading
ascii_field: and i don't give a fuck about general public
ascii_field: i am not sold on the 'probably suck' bit.
mircea_popescu: and i have my doubts about the particular case.
ascii_field: so no, i have no patience for the 'brainwallets suck because you are stupid' argument.
ascii_field: as it is, i would not trust serious coin, were i to have any, to anything other than brainwallet operated with optical keyboard connected to soviet z80.
ascii_field: i can 'reduce entropy' of mircea_popescu's pgp key by telling that the factors are odd. what of it.
mircea_popescu: i dun really think so tho.
mats: perhaps i am not the right stand-in for this conversation...
mircea_popescu: did i just make a prediction about your palace ?
ascii_field: perhaps i generated it when i was 5 y.o.
mats: i use a memory palace
ascii_field: mats: http://blog.jacobtorrey.com/my-minilock-concerns << i -still- insist that if your brainwallet is crackable, you are a moron ☟︎
ascii_field: mats: if i were fuhrer, i'd fire these louts. the crap isn't even -trying- to be plausible !
mircea_popescu: i guess similar thing yeah ok
mircea_popescu: which is why i spend my time publicly humiliating bharara rather than "the liberal lion elizabeth warren"
ascii_field: i suspect by the conduit of 'we get paid or the lot of you die'
ascii_field: as one fella put it explaining to me, 'it doesn't matter if they elect the democrats, republicans, or lesbians. i get paid.'
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 00:09:38; asciilifeform: if i were to obtain (fell out of airplane, aha) a crate full of benjies, it would do exactly zero for my situation.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 13:32:58; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1158990 << last i saw, the 'confederate money' buys a good bit of btc.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159086 << last i saw, you said http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1158580 ☝︎☝︎
ascii_field: i'd imagine having men thrown in chains at one's say-so does something for 'self-esteem' ?
ascii_field: torquemada, as i understand, believed in god
ascii_field: i really can't help but wonder what motivates the man
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159063 << for a moment i expected it'd be gavin accepting some award for spice girls career achievement or something. ☝︎
