asciilifeform: (this is perhaps a good moment to point out that these dates mean little. unless someone in my wot has a very vintage copy of sks key collection that he's willing to swear to.)
asciilifeform: punkman: blevins key claimed a vintage of '98..
asciilifeform: ;;later tell ben_vulpes your system is leaking ip
asciilifeform: suggesting, if indeed this is true, that he reads the logz.
asciilifeform: in other possible nyooz, i have been told that sergei mavrodi, of the repeated mega-pyramid scheme 'mmm' fame, now has a crackpot altcoin of his own.
asciilifeform: it is a solution to 'real people and spamming scum try to occupy limited space together'
asciilifeform: i suppose this may technically be a degenerate case of the other solution.
asciilifeform looks through the window and does not see any private bankers coming to ask re: therealbitcoin... perhaps they all go to mircea_popescu's house. or ben_vulpes...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i know these as 'pocket banks' aha
asciilifeform wonders if any such folks are equipped to distinguish therealbitcoin from linoleum
asciilifeform: the increments in which you can 'buy cycles' are severely quantized.
asciilifeform bought into the fantasy of 'elastic cpu/ram, precisely as much or little as you want' as we were promised in the '70s. it is, of course, a crock of shit, because the necessary hardware does not actually exist
asciilifeform blew an astonishing bag of usd when ran 'phuctor' on aws - and this in its mostly-useless and almost-trafficless first year and half of life☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: so this is a strictly finite ballsack
asciilifeform: presently i can't entirely understand why the swarm of sybils has materialized exactly there - aws isn't particularly cheap, if you actually use the cpu/disk
asciilifeform: the slovak ministry of whateverthefuck was playing the role of the 'garage sale picasso buyer and reseller for $100'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my thought was actually that it was illustrative of the idea you explained - that random beggar can't own a 'promissory n0te'
asciilifeform: mod6: works. but anyone can review these, because we already know what they must look like
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249381 << this is a potentially catastrophic misuse of the thing. if you glom the patches together, i can't sigverify'em, can't (easily) match them against earlier publications of same, and most of all - can't read it worth a damn☝︎
asciilifeform: the garden-variety gpg is closest i know of
asciilifeform: (and anyone who thinks i ought to be considering a thing that uses openssl, or a winblowz turd, or something for mac, -- go eat a caltrop.)
