danielpbarron: probably fixable but i wouldn't want to actually send funds to any address it produces anyway
Chillum: Still, I will always write my own paper wallet software that uses vanitygen. You never know if some 3rd party programmed it to only make 500 million keys and has then precomputed
danielpbarron: i sorta bricked it
danielpbarron: i've had a piper printer for a couple years now i think
Chillum: and here I thought I was being clever
Chillum: hehe I did not know about that
Chillum: I started with a fresh OS and wrote the bitcoin wallet printer
Chillum: well I am using rng-tools to point /dev/hwrng to /dev/random
Chillum: I wrote the code myself, it calls vanitygen pointed to the hwrng
Chillum: asciilifeform: This is what started nubbins` and I on the conversation: http://static.highinbc.com/20150313_194522.jpg
Chillum: I like that it uses 2 trngs through a xor gate. Often that is implemented in software with two devices
nubbins`: and i think he has a job too 8)
Chillum: oh I will fix that
nubbins`: i think you'll fit in here
mod6: i like the BTC truck
nubbins`: so this truck was seen speeding towards the airport in ukraine earlier today: http://i.imgur.com/tu9LLzF.jpg
nubbins`: pete_dushenski http://i.imgur.com/z1q3Uc5.png heehee!
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> http://rapecloset.tumblr.com/post/114719086934/marla << apparently "rapecloset" exists. <<< "it isn't hard to get candy. all i do is go to granny's house, since granny keeps candy there for me. i mention that i love candy and wait. i've also used my aunt, left my mouth open, gone into a torpor, only to be awoken later by the gummy bears. some of the hottest food ever.
mircea_popescu: but i guess for this sort of thing it's actually ideal.
pete_dushenski: in a "under-bridge stencil" sort of way, i suppose ;)
pete_dushenski: turns out, "before i was in business" doesn't actually mean shit anyways!
pete_dushenski: aok. i'd heard the term, but it never really meant anything to me
mircea_popescu: "secular trend" = "it was a trend before i was in business"
mircea_popescu: it's quant for "forever", which means whatever, over a decade i guess.
mircea_popescu: in this case i just meant, long term.
assbot: Logged on 27-03-2015 03:42:59; mircea_popescu: who was the guy with the "short" fund, had some of the horrid0est results ever. i recall discussed here maybe cca 2013
mircea_popescu: i think they just burned like a bale orsomething.
mircea_popescu: gain a little, lose a lot. i made -13% apr on usd, +6.5% in btc.
mircea_popescu: i suppose cutting bits of genitals is the sort of thing that's interesting enough to explain itself,
mircea_popescu: i thought that was the idea behind "hygienic" circumcision
pete_dushenski: i can see that.
mircea_popescu: overcompensation if you will, against the thing that produced the "train ticket sold for diamonds" as well as the "i'm fine, even have caviar, what if the world is coming apart"
felipelalli: I have to sleep, here 3:40 AM. I'll see your feedback later.
felipelalli: Guys, I just wrote an article about BTCJam: https://yeppudaproductions.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/btcjam-e-genericos-nao-use/
asciilifeform: why did the author of the article find it necessary to insert this howler, i wonder
asciilifeform: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/richard-z-chesnoff/ema-film-unfinishedem-the_b_682030.html? << i watched this film. and i happen to know how to read, and know that the restaurants existed.
asciilifeform: i know, it's mind-boggling
mircea_popescu: i mean why not buy a can of sprayable cheese then ?
asciilifeform: i suspect that most 'boat people' would actually rather be mircea_popescu, but you can go and buy a boat. you cannot buy 'be mircea_popescu'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can speak only for myself, but i live by 'hell is other people'
asciilifeform: at any rate, i must confess that i've forgotten what kind of puzzle all of this was intended to be a solution to.
mircea_popescu: well, if that's the standard i guess the south east of russia then, definitely.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i wonder why this island/boat/w/e thing is so appelaing. << Because hell is other people, "Get off my lawn", and other sorts of dissatisfaction with the rest of the human race
mircea_popescu: i wonder why this island/boat/w/e thing is so appelaing.
mircea_popescu: how to suspend laws ? o i know, turn it into a forest!!1
asciilifeform: i for one would settle for autonomous food-n-shelter-tron
asciilifeform: or one of them, anyway, where i theorized that the bulk of mining power is produced in exactly this way
asciilifeform: i can see mircea_popescu's scenario playing out -with bribery- rather than elaborate crapware
mircea_popescu: decimation i'll bet you they subcontract it away
asciilifeform: just when i didn't think that anyone could conceive of a less plausible scene than the island...
decimation: wait, I thought they were 'dual use'
mircea_popescu: did i ever recount the very early "special order" scam romanians got hit with ? in like 91 ?
mircea_popescu: i see it as, "elaborate virus, makes targetted fab shit out our own gear "accidentally", we buy it as tailings for pennies"
mircea_popescu: but if you ask me, i do not see ideal situation as "private island where 04938509348509834 SAM batteries and nukes, and purpose-built IC fab"
asciilifeform: so who do i 'persuade' to replay 1970-2000 ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform have it secretly dualboot for all i care.
mircea_popescu: i dun get it.
asciilifeform: last i checked, there were no teleporters.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't bother with the island.
mircea_popescu: see, if i had the magical stone that lets you turn time back FOR THE OTHERS
mircea_popescu: this entire "i'd get an island" thing is not unlike the strange idea of the british troops to wear red.
decimation: well, the problem I have is picking the stirke price and quantity that is appropriate
mircea_popescu: who was the guy with the "short" fund, had some of the horrid0est results ever. i recall discussed here maybe cca 2013
decimation: well, I would pick an island in the middle of the pacific for definisibility
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't think any lottery on the planet pays a tenth of what it'd cost.
decimation: asciilifeform: well if I win the swedish lottery I'll fund your fab
asciilifeform: decimation: ideally i would be designing it full time in b-a or whatnot
asciilifeform: nubbins`: it's what i'm building the whole shebang (as seen in turdel) with
nubbins`: hm, i'll cheggidout
asciilifeform: and i mean all of it
decimation: mircea_popescu: apparently so. I'm trying to find a way to hedge my mostly long position on us equities
nubbins`: asciilifeform danielpbarron etc http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QHGEWZdn
mircea_popescu: i'd expect smoke launchers etc.
asciilifeform: i count 3 barrels
asciilifeform: (as a separate demon, i suggest)
decimation: but it would be more complex, I agree
asciilifeform: and can't imagine i'm the only one
asciilifeform: i don't like dhcp in my house.
decimation: I mean init is literally just a while loop
decimation: asciilifeform: I thought it didn't have an rtc
asciilifeform: not to mention user i/o
asciilifeform: the men, i mean
mircea_popescu: as a self-organised thing i never saw it exist
mircea_popescu: i hear this is how they get laid, too.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072854 << i suspect you're confused as to the meaning of at least one word in there :D
asciilifeform: i can't insist on it. but can't rule out.
asciilifeform: meta-cia i can't even take credit for
mircea_popescu: that i might almost credit.
decimation: asciilifeform: perhaps, but I can't imagine that the employees look much different than the post office today
asciilifeform: i suppose we'll see if there is a gnome with a hand-edited 'google blackhole' chart, soon enough
mircea_popescu: it is, which is what i said.
asciilifeform: did for warez, as of a few wks ago when i last saw.
mircea_popescu: i could do it, generally, for pretty much anyone.
asciilifeform: and i would have never seen it had he not written a letter to cryptome (see other link)
mircea_popescu: holy shit, i don't even fuck without a condom!
asciilifeform: sachs, i meant
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 19:02:33; asciilifeform: not sure how 'sane' you and i would appear, after a few decades in his position.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072801 << i lolled.
mircea_popescu: srsly, i am so disappoint the french are not like, being invaded.
asciilifeform: decimation: and afaik he never followed any analogue of 'ascii_field can talk and i will say if it was an impostor yesterday' principle
