asciilifeform: also i have several million keys that wait to be thrown in (presently hosted in 'cloud' crapolade, cannot really handle serious work)
iang: seems to work better if I give it an RSA key ;-)
BingoBoingo: iang: yeah. I can see monthly pub key updates being a hassel if your big GPG use case is signatures
iang: BingoBoingo: yup. I guess everyone’s got the message that the threat is on the node.
iang: yah. I remember (one of?) the last person I used to talk regularly with gpg would make keys every month and dispose of the old ones. I only talked to him maybe once a month so it didn’t last...
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i never used it, i was maybe 15-16 at the time and muh uncle constantly telling me to buy shares in sausage software
asciilifeform: if you give a damn re: what this means, invite one of them in. i can't muster the strength to defend the nonsense, even as 'devil's advocate'
cazalla: BingoBoingo: The only environment I've ever been similarly confident with was the old "Hot Dog HTML" that was included on the web design for dummies book cd at the local library <<< lol sausage software, my uncle never shut up about these guys
undata: I'm personally much more near-term concerned with ever-cheaper guns/bombs with propellers
BingoBoingo: Didn't realize apple died till junior year of college when I got an iPod to replace a Rio MP3 player and was introduced to iTunes
mircea_popescu: yes but you're aware i was discussing danger.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Summer before college I though I'd buy a new Apple on their financing, had not realized company had died. Mercifully was declined and got a used Dell Latitude.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didn't happen. not that i don't own enough junk, incl. apples of every period, to fill a small scrapyard - but i wanted living 'butterfly' not zoological specimen preserved in glass
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as a boy, i often thought that i would grow up, 'have money', and buy an apple computer - at least to try it (the crippled machines at schools, etc. were an interesting diversion, and i imagined that mac is 'rich man's computer' somehow) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: The only environment I've ever been similarly confident with was the old "Hot Dog HTML" that was included on the web design for dummies book cd at the local library
asciilifeform: actually i did not (as an adult, at least) see any actual 'potential' in it - in the sense of 'what could have grown from it'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i must confess that i sometimes regret crapping out that piece. i still get mail from folks who think that i liked 'hypertalk' language.
BingoBoingo: At the time I had yet to have a computer at home so I bought a bunch of computers and spares for about $10 a pop
iang: right… I recall the Mac people were emotional about it
undata: "hypermedia" I guess
BingoBoingo: iang: It's the programming environment that shipped on the last of the real Macs. I had picked some up at an auction my school had and was playing with them as my first computers
BingoBoingo: Ah, I had recently discovered hypercard around that time
iang: Luckily I’d sent an email to the founders that said “you’re gonna get busted if you don’t fix it” and that told the feds I wasn’t their drone
iang: In 2000 I was building precious metal exchanges. And staying out of trouble. Which almost snapped shut on me, the whole e-gold story :(
iang: the earliest key I have a password for, it seems
BingoBoingo: I couldn't imagine anything more fun
iang: I could explain ;-)
iang: yup, not sure I can help, there are a few of us :D
mircea_popescu: i guess nobody's anybody :D
iang: although he’s not sure who I am either ;-)
PeterL: what about football scammers? oh wait, the other SEC (I must ahve been reading too much bowl game previews)
PeterL: I put the blog checking onto a separate thread, and now it does not get kicked off from missed pings
PeterL: I finally figured out what was wrong
asciilifeform: i mean, they both live here with me
asciilifeform: for once, i dare suggest that more mundane - most programmers, historically, don't want 'random', but 'random-flavoured but ultimately reproducible' for testing of games, toys, etc
mircea_popescu: am i the only one that sees the homeric lulz involved ?
punkman: me neither, I use dumbphone
asciilifeform: i just don't get it
mircea_popescu: obviously the serious ethical violation and outrageous immorality of them having any btc is why <punkman> I hope he doesn't give anything back
asciilifeform: lol! i imagined that the masturbee must pay the masturbator, in such an arrangement
asciilifeform: but, as i understood, backorifice was thought to be obsolete since xp ver. 3 when microshit baked it right into winblows
undata: man I hate people
punkman: "One of these address' is mine, can you place contact me, I can provide proof with screen shots or teamview."
punkman: I hope he doesn't give anything back
punkman: "Dude you took from my address, I was saving up for my family for christmas and you went and stolen it this morning.. Please have the heart to give it back, PMing you now"
asciilifeform: or dare i even ask.
undata: I think one of Ron Paul's best thoughts was to allow competition of currencies
mod6: i imagine these guys just sit there allday looking at pornhub and playing flappy bird on their new galaxy 5s IF they even show up to the session
undata: I admire old cranky bastards that stick to their guns
mircea_popescu: i wonder what it's like, you know, man captive in the monkey cage @ zoo.
undata: I've met him a few times
The20YearIRCloud: Big thing has been to have em look over all the financial documents as we're filing taxes for 2014 next month and I didn't want to submit till they had a good idea of it.
The20YearIRCloud: I'll have to ask, our goal is to build personal profile pages with things like FB & linkedin profile pages, could include WoT data too.
The20YearIRCloud: But, at any rate, the individuals on our BOA have access to bank records and property deeds/addresses. Additionally I've re-sent a link to MP just now showing one county's records on us.
dub: I can grab basic detail of any property in my countRy from a single web GIS interface for free, its then $50 for complete records of every time someone farted near it
The20YearIRCloud: Because I had threats 6 months back from people online that they'd call the tenants and threaten em.
The20YearIRCloud: Those are the only two I can think of that i'd use. At any rate I just sent you links to two different auditors, between those two there's 10 different units.
mircea_popescu: anyway, im pretty sure i never actually evaluated either the site involved or w/e it contained. im entirely unsure why is this not public again ?
The20YearIRCloud: I think they require a www. on the name
The20YearIRCloud: I sent you to landaccess.com and showed you how to look up TIF copies
mircea_popescu: nfi why i wouldn't have said something at the time, either.
mircea_popescu: i remember you promising to put your deeds online but not carrying through. i dun recall this "given me" deeds.
The20YearIRCloud: It's not public but if someone REALLY wanted em, i'd make the properties & deeds available. Around last year I gave mircea_popescu deed copies of 2 or 3 of the properties.
The20YearIRCloud: I've already sent messages out to those that i gave em to asking for a reasoning to them not cashing em in. Two guys have already told me they never got em even after I put em in their vehicles.
TomServo: I'd think your average low income earner would bend over backwards for fiddy bux.
mircea_popescu: so your sworn testimony here is that out of however many tenants, not one has a working smartphone ? or what is it ? computers don't really so much enter into it as far as i can see.
The20YearIRCloud: So, in other words : I did what was requested of me with the posters, I get neg repped for them. I did what my shareholders wanted by selling them more treasury shares at a specific USD value, I get neg repped for it. In both cases I did what was asked of me, with proof (Phone numbers and shareholders on my IRC chat) and still get negative rep because of it?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea dood. how would i know.
The20YearIRCloud: What do you think I did with the posters? Just put em in a closet to have to resell some day in the future?
The20YearIRCloud: And I get a negative rating over their lack of effort
The20YearIRCloud: At least, i'm not aware of any codes on them, if there were, they weren't obvious.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> i'd be eager to try one myself, with some phto documentation.. or that was verboten? << try what you mean ?
The20YearIRCloud: Explain why I have a negative rating mentioning the posters. What else am I supposed to do with them?
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud i dun want you to do anything specifically.
fluffypony: I still think you should've taught them the secret handshake, problem solved
The20YearIRCloud: I'm asking you what you want me to do when I've given 8 to clients/tenants and none have cashed them in. I've got a negative rating from you over it, so i wouldn't mind resolving it if at all possible.
The20YearIRCloud: I'm going back and texting those who got them asking for speciifc explanation on why they didn't cash them in.
mircea_popescu: (i know they failed on that power thoroughput specifically, but it's a year old+ bet. it actually improved meanwhile)
The20YearIRCloud: Well, two of the posters look to have disappeared, i texted the guys who had em and it looks like after I put em in their work truck they went away or something.
The20YearIRCloud: Maybe I could give mircea_popescu their phone numbers and he could call em and ask them why? What the heck is expected of me beyond explaining to them how to do it and giving them the poster? Am I expected to spend a hour getting them on IRC and doing it all for them?
The20YearIRCloud: I had told MP that it would have been a much, much better process if I ran a contest or something locally for the posters, that way they would have gone to houses where they wanted them or were higher educated. Yet i even had one tenant flat out refuse the poster after I put in their hands because it was 'too complicated' and 'all we have is a nintendo wii
The20YearIRCloud: Heck, i gave two out to guys who worked for me, and I know for a fact they're dead broke and they still couldn't figure out how to do it.
jurov: i'd be eager to try one myself, with some phto documentation.. or that was verboten?
The20YearIRCloud: I told them they'd get $35-$40 worth of bitcoins for free, and all it would do is take at worst an hour of their time, at best 5 minutes.
The20YearIRCloud: I've explained for 5-10 minutes per tenant how it worked, to go on IRCwebchat, and to cash them in. I still have the 42 or so left over still sitting in my closet. I can mail em back to someone if they want. Howver i don't know what I am supposed to do if no one follows my directions or the ones on the posters.
assbot: Logged on 27-11-2014 12:56:26; nubbins`: mircea_popescu:well if he did nubbins has some 'splainin' to do lol. <<< nope, in fact, i am also mildly perturbed by the fact that i mailed over $4,000 of goods to the guy and we didn't even get a couple measly pictures out of it
The20YearIRCloud: But if you want to retaliate at me for my tenants not cashing in the posters.....then so be it. I've tried to do my part in educating them about bitcoin, how to cash them in and so forth. I realize the print cost for the posters was paid out by someone. But I don't understand why you're getting mad at ME over it.
The20YearIRCloud: So far i've given out 8 posters, so far no one has cashed them in, go figure
asciilifeform: (i've quite forgotten, mercifully, what precisely the thing was. large rack-mount apparatus, that drew ~20 amperes at 120 v.ac. mains.)
asciilifeform: i.e. 'k out of n cores most of the time, but we promise that with next fw update xxxxxxx [some horseshit]' etc
asciilifeform: incidentally, the one time i saw an asic miner of any sort alive, personally (it belonged to a colleague) its actual 'hash/watt' was quite impossible to ascertain - worked, let's put it charitably, rather inconsistently
asciilifeform: look at the hash per power figures << who wants to share a link to an experimenter they trust, with valid measurements? because why would i believe a word that ever came out of the manufacturers' mouths (proven liars, to a man, afaik)
assbot: And now I shall be off scarfing smoked salmon and fresh apple pie seasoned with free market tears, or Why a collection of confused retards does not amount to a free market. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1ywDtJd )
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation http://trilema.com/2013/and-now-i-shall-be-off-scarfing-smoked-salmon-and-fresh-apple-pie-seasoned-with-free-market-tears-or-why-a-collection-of-confused-retards-does-not-amount-to-a-free-market/#footnote_0_49891 << prolly relevant to your interests.
assbot: I'll pay for your tits pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1D0bs4I )
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i have a present for you!
asciilifeform: 'it was what i built and delivered' minus pgp, minus xxx, yyy, hell knows how many details that looked like 'irrelevant hair' to the imbecile
mircea_popescu: i could of course be entirely wrong, maybe he's really a woman and needs special encouragement to "participate".
asciilifeform: mosquito flies around #b-a annoyingly, and no one swats. i found this odd.
mircea_popescu: i wish to see the noob that does that, rather than coming in here trying to derp about how "they did it 18 years ago"
