asciilifeform: 3 btc is a fortune now ?!

asciilifeform: not the one mircea_popescu lives in, but yet another

asciilifeform: sometimes i half-wonder if BingoBoingo is posting from a parallel world

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what is 'undercard' ?

asciilifeform: it is being spammed far and wide. between the lines.

asciilifeform: this here is that rare bird, the 'five-year plan' that might actually get met.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=02-09-2015#1259456 ☝︎

asciilifeform: mobile operator ?

asciilifeform: what happened to titles ?

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: wai wut

asciilifeform: mod6: and ought to be on the www

asciilifeform: mod6: it is very spiffy

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'predator' is mainly an intimidation tool, rather than a weapons system in the usual sense

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: see thread: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-08-2015#1237556 ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/14/us-usa-military-russia-idUSKCN0RE2DO20150914 << l0l, 'predators' will fly in usg's latvia.

asciilifeform: (perhaps i am thick, but i don't see how mircea_popescu's solution would work here)

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: even if this schmuck had used bitcoin, and done so correctly, he still could not establish credibility to the buyer without revealing who he was.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this ties in to the earlier thread today re: the sale of 0days.

asciilifeform: at this point

asciilifeform: it is abundantly clear who and why

asciilifeform: what deniability remains plausible here ?

asciilifeform: what, evil empire can't afford 100GB/s forever ?

asciilifeform: another thing i'm a bit confused about is why a usg-sponsored ddos should ever let up

asciilifeform: or qntra, etc.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: phuctor had a human plug-puller who is prolly making his way to where trilema lives

asciilifeform: i suppose there is delay. perhaps i will be shot a decade from now and will have forgotten why !!

asciilifeform: why would they shoot him now, rather than when he was posting raw snowden2isms ...?

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: see also https://epsstore.ti.com/OA_HTML/csksxvm.jsp?nSetId=71569

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: phun phakt: you can natively do 1024-bit rsa on the '92.

asciilifeform: (every so often, some american 'activism' chick travels to an orc pit and gets drilled out several #s, and it makes the nyooz)

asciilifeform: only when they travel to tahrir square and ask nicely.

asciilifeform: once in a blue moon.

asciilifeform: eh, virologists read it.

asciilifeform: -- 'jump up twenty metres and scatter yourself around.'

asciilifeform: 'what should you do if a shell lands in your trench?'

asciilifeform: What To Do When a Miner Controls Over 51% of Your Blockchain << reminds me of the canonical ww1 joke

asciilifeform vaguely recalls mircea_popescu once expressed interest in the notion of a multi-pgp'd blog

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i was hoping to hear some principle, as in 'we oughtn't give away morsels to strangers except when f(x)=y'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is easy, sure

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and this one has no fewer than ~three~ 'enter' keys. just to make various strokes shorter.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: holy hell that '92' is spiffy. like having 'derive' that boots up in 100 millisec. i forgot how great this felt.

asciilifeform: (but the way i see it, there is some amount of 'us' remaining to be extracted from 'public'. so there is a point.)

asciilifeform: i mean, we are serving up bandwidth and cpu cycles 'for nothing', no ?

asciilifeform: because 'fuck the public' ?

asciilifeform: i watched it live, on a gigantic projector screen at uni of m

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was an instant wtf

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo ^

asciilifeform: shinohai: l0l what's the use, in usa. usg makes them collect names.

asciilifeform: anonyderps are meat, they exist for our entertainment.

asciilifeform: sure. let's see who if anyone complains.

asciilifeform: nah, it was smell & taste strictly.

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275615 << cosmic rays !!111 (tm) ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275555 << iirc this is not even the first time ! ☝︎

asciilifeform: !up optimator

asciilifeform: oh hey if it isn't the ddos bot

asciilifeform: i'd enjoy reading mircea_popescu's fortran or focal whatever 'v' too, even.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: where is yours !

asciilifeform: THIS is why i wanted folks to re-write it

asciilifeform takes off hat to mod6, whose 'v' is light-years ahead of the old dusty original.

asciilifeform: and belongs on therealbitcoin.org imho.

asciilifeform: mod6: very spiffy though

asciilifeform: (which was perhaps a hand's breadth in side)

asciilifeform: my grandfather had a tv (one of the early ru tv sets) that came with a gigantic flask you would fill with water and affix to the screen

asciilifeform: btw magnifiers are old hat for tiny screens

asciilifeform only ever saw it in pictures

asciilifeform: relive childhood.

asciilifeform: do the weird green electroluminescent backlight mod!

asciilifeform: play 1-bit audio through the i/o jack !

asciilifeform: it is more or less the perfect 'game boy' form factor, aha

asciilifeform lolz at the external display port on the '92

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: they are ~exactly~ the same but for the keyboard, iirc.

asciilifeform: your 89 book will suffice

asciilifeform: or rather, june the 2nd

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what fw ver in yours ? i have 1.05, june the 6th 1999

asciilifeform: works great.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hah, apparently contrast adjust is different on this than 89

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: put lithium 'aa' cells in it.

asciilifeform: no boy cheated on his exams with this one.

asciilifeform: as in, no dust, no fingerprints

asciilifeform: and looks more or less virginal.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mine is unmarked.

asciilifeform: if yours is a plain 92, you can make (theoretically) rom cartridges.

asciilifeform: my unit is a '92 plus' btw.

asciilifeform: i might end up putting some 3m double-sided sticky under it.

asciilifeform: it is.

asciilifeform never had the 92 before

asciilifeform: i am disappointed in the bizarre physical design of that

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the backplate is a little wobbly

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i just uncrated my '92 incidentally

asciilifeform: thing is, imho world is not made of us and of derps, or rather it ~is~ but rather like a mountain of lamproite

asciilifeform: givin' out bytez for PHREE!!!!

asciilifeform: after all, they face the public.

asciilifeform: or kako's logs

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275572 << i can see this perspective. but what i can't see is why operate qntra, trilema, phuctor, etc. if this. ☝︎

asciilifeform: distinct recollection, i asked the pet, 'what kind of name is baracko ?!'

asciilifeform: i actually misparsed his name, it was slightly mangled, 'who is baracko bama ???!

asciilifeform: mr. whatthefuck

asciilifeform: 'the new up-and-coming senator, likely presidential hopeful, ....'
