asciilifeform: (how did i make this inference? simply from the fact of the actual die not being a copy. which would have been the obvious explanation.
nubbins`: i'm sure you'll understand :/
nubbins`: TheNewDeal, i'm very parsimonious with my ratings
TheNewDeal: hey nubbins` , good sir, can I get a rating for purchasing them posters :D?
mircea_popescu: well i somehow ended up looking for internets drama
nubbins`: i uh...
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/HugAGqg.png
undata: bounce: I chant "outlier" at night to help myself sleep.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/8XqmkJM.jpg << ever read the infamous 'spoons' essay?
assbot: Logged on 06-10-2014 21:06:55; gribble: Sent 7 minutes ago: <sgornick> Re: Qntra.net, I registered @Qntra on Twitter before some griefer /squatter did. Then put a Twitterfeed to push tweets from the RSS feed. When you want the twitter acct, let me know what e-mail to assign it to. It can't be an e-mail already used for any other twitter account.

bounce: for comparison, OUIs cost $1250 last time I checked
bounce: (there was a guy that did exactly that, expressly for hobbyist purposes, but he got shot down, I think)
bounce: I'm oblivious as to the drama that spawned this
bounce: not that I paid attention the first time around, mind.
mircea_popescu: mike_c how many times did i say not to pdf :D
mike_c: holy shit i just wasted 5 minutes of my life.
bounce: anyhow, I get where they're coming from but it's still a dodgy move.
BingoBoingo: Maybe I prefer bootleg USB controllers?
bounce: hm. I don't think they've been gone after, have they?
asciilifeform: i always hated inband reflashable fw in consumer products. invitation for mice.
bounce: and, hm, if the device proclaims to be vendor x / product y, then does the vendor have a right to say "but I didn't make this, this is fake. not my product" and set product id to 0?
thickasthieves: i cant argue with more is more
mircea_popescu: in the sense that if i donate to the bitcoin foundation a btc and consider maybe donating another 100 in time
asciilifeform: i always wondered
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones uhm... from what i hear the 50 mn reports may be grossly exaggerated.
thickasthieves: <+kakobrekla> blockstream has nice logo -- not bad, i'd have gone for less segments in the icon
mircea_popescu: i see the "3 year's experience" thing got a ++ ?
asciilifeform: i like the 'kelvin' variant, but this is a matter of taste.
thickasthieves: <+mike_c> hey thickasthieves, wake up and back me up. this things needs different branding. /// well i think the whole .0.0 whatever shit is retarded
mircea_popescu: i never met one irl.
mircea_popescu: i want some smart chicks that become experts in complex systems and chaos theory over a semester
los_pantalones: then i looked at the site
mircea_popescu: why do i keep calling the poor man kuhn
undata: BingoBoingo: I remember that; bizarre
asciilifeform: i confess - i actually like moldy's 'kelvin versioning.'
mike_c: i would rather use b-a bitcoin v0.1 over derpy bitcoin v0.9
nubbins`: i'm sure there must be
nubbins`: i'd be more in favor of mirroring derp release numbers for now
mircea_popescu: i could see an argument for releasing it as the real 0.9 tho
asciilifeform: no sense including turds in first commit << surprisingly, i must disagree. we gotta show the pedigree from classical bitcoind.
nubbins`: actually i suppose a better idea is to deturdify 0.5.3 first
mircea_popescu: nor do i think it's a half -good idea.
mircea_popescu: bounce i do not use an "email client" that's gpg able
bounce: and so was I
mircea_popescu: bounce i was talking about "sign with bitcoin address"
nubbins`: mp i hope you tricked him into thinking he was gonna print a bunch of stuff
nubbins`: mircea_popescu am i even better in person?!
Apocalyptic: nubbins`, I think jurov is on it
nubbins`: someone more familiar with github than I should probably set up the repository
mircea_popescu: okay. i have nfi what happened there, but rolled new dns servers and all seems well ?
asciilifeform: bad enough that btc uses ecdsa. i rather wish it were something that could be discouraged, rather than we were to depend yet more on it.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: cazalla by the way, intel sez that the reason you've not heard from sgornick nor will you is that the guy meanwhile figured out i'm involved, and doesn't like me either because i said nigger or cunt at some point in the past. <<< what a fucking cunt
bounce would like bitcoin address-signed mail. if you're going ahead with the signage requirement, lemme see if I can whip up a verifier for that.
asciilifeform: i confess that i rather like the mailing list idea. readily convertible to 'apocalyptic' shortwave radio...
asciilifeform: i should clarify, not literal +v, incl. 'up' folks. the magic 29 pubkeys.
kakobrekla: i was assbot the other day
kakobrekla: just like asciilifeform slaves in the us i must talk to strangers over email :(
asciilifeform: i dare suggest a simple antisp4mz0r filter for mailing list - only messages signed from +v #b-a folks accepted.
FabianB: that's why mpexstatus shows vwap as being broken i think
jurov: okay, so i'll go make s3 bucket for it. if someone throws terabytes/day on it and makes it expensive for me then we'll see what next
asciilifeform: i suggest going with whoever had the mailing list idea. emphasize the 'we sign things and so mechanism doesn't matter' aspect. ☟︎
mike_c: in short order it will be hosting the charter i assume.
kakobrekla: i make a joke see
mircea_popescu: cazalla some dns issue i dunno wtf it is but being workt on
mircea_popescu: i dunno how the fuck i keep getting spam then, hesus.
mircea_popescu: well, until i hear any better this is neither malicious nor qntra/polimedia ns specific.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I know local host, but didn't qntra.net point there at one point?
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: yes. i've a year-round allergy from 1993 or so to present time, with small break during trip to Ro
BingoBoingo: I dunno just quoting site that calls itself "domain tools"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i wonder if his continued purchases as the stock market goes down indicate that the bonds will get axed or that he's out of the loop
mircea_popescu: so i guess we'll be... sticking it to them ?
mircea_popescu: but i mean big fucking deal, when bitcoin went from 1200 to 600 i "lost" like a bn too.
mircea_popescu: cnn is a libtard venue i read somewhere.
kakobrekla: yes i understand, i was just checking if there something wrong with the feed when mod6 mentioned 'down'
mod6: hmm. i can't get to any of 'em, maybe i r blocked
kakobrekla: i cant even type
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=biw | Apr 28, 2012 ... biw. A common used phrase on the internet in the Netherlands. It means 'ben ik weer' - 'i'm back'. 'Biw, is er iets mis?' - 'Biw, is there something ...
bounce: then I'd say "user friendly" is the security vulnerability here
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: http://i.imgur.com/7t3Ow2A.png <<< lol this is just about right.
kakobrekla: cool, i like meta.
kakobrekla: i guess he has the dignity.
asciilifeform: i personally know fine folks who've perelmanned. e.g., al schwartz. i miss them, but understand.
kakobrekla: and i mean anything.
bradedwards: Hey room, I was told about you all by a friend of mine Mitch Callahan. He showed me Qntra, and I like your approach. Less corporate news, more honest. Less polished, mroe of the harsh truths the community needs to hear. Just wanted to stop by and voice my appreciation and support
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: lol. if all the hatemail i got, on this specific theme, were to be printed, it would be as tall as my leg.
kakobrekla: weird some nuke doesnt go off when i do !up
jurov: i vote for patch delivery via ICBMs
kakobrekla: yeah well i wonder why is anyone still connected to irc being all idealistic and shit
bounce: I'd probably want a mailinglist to toss patches around, though
asciilifeform: and why did this have to wait for crackpot to ask for a printed satoshi turd, i wonder.
asciilifeform: incidentally, reserving signature for 'i approve this message' is braindamaged. should sign with comments like 'this line is ok unless goldbach's conjecture is proven false, then yer phucked' etc.
mircea_popescu: we need to create that "have read" accounting scheme i was talking about weeks ago.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> how to do signed commits << the barbarian way. everyone who read a patch file (yes) and is willing to sign under it, signs. this gets posted. whoever wants, can apply the patches to get a merged turdball. << i think this is exactly how it should go. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Yeah, I'm slowing in my old age
mircea_popescu: i have no idea, never looked that closely.
jurov: i have to look into how signed commits are done
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i rarely if at all run openbsd tho << now we know, he has personal os and btc apparatus! with alien technology.
jurov: yes, ssh i meant
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i rarely if at all run openbsd tho ?
