asciilifeform: 'Fund with a credit card'
asciilifeform: what a joke.
assbot: 7 results for 'bitsquatting' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=bitsquatting
decimation: at any rate, it's proof of the kind of error against which asciilifeform regularly pontificates, that is, a hardware error that is known only to the vendors of the chips
dignork: we cause a random pattern error at this position...
decimation: for example, a crafted javascript or maybe just plain html web page
jurov: there's certainly a way how to remotely cause already present software to repeatedly read memory
decimation: umm, you can corrupt the victim's memory by executing a loop?
decimation: note that ECC is only a partial mitigation
BingoBoingo: I thought CoinDesk was still a VC thing
thestringpuller: the girly calendar is a nice touch tho
BingoBoingo: My favorite liquor store for the second year in a row gifted me with a bottle of wine and a girly calendar when I came in for cigarettes.
mod6: asciilifeform: are you going to b-a?
jurov: yea i know. i am fine with 25k eur before taxes this year, even paid part of a new car from that
kakobrekla: but idk if im a misser
xanthyos: counting stacks of gold coins in a dark room
jurov: lol i'm a miser too... why you though otherwise?
dignork: hey, i'm not a miser, just not too wealthy :)

asciilifeform: kakobrekla we know is a miser, but jurov ?
dignork: :( sorry, I'm leaving states in a few days, gift cards are of no use for me, otherwise I'd buy some from you.

BingoBoingo wonders if soon after releasing Cardano, S.NSA will release a Maldardano sample tampered Cardano for people to practice searching for turditions on.
asciilifeform: wake me up when a 'minuteman' is pwned and sent off on an unsanctioned joyride.
asciilifeform: all that resulted was a leak, of facts which anglo media will never print - so it's almost as good, from their point of view, as 'never happened' ☟︎
asciilifeform: ukraine << so what. did even a single usg minion die from the intercepted phone ?
BingoBoingo: Microphoneless smart Pnohe is the way to Pnohe, because BB pager recieves calls, records a message. To return calls you battery up a flip phone.
asciilifeform: decimation: usg 'leaders' think of themselves as being above such trivialities as secure communications << of what concern is what a muppet says to another muppet ?
BingoBoingo: joecool: I don't have problems with big UX changes. I care more about what is happening and why. Unsolder the microphone and camera in old blackberry, works as a pager like god intended. Unsolder camera and microphone in shitty LG android phone doesn't work as pager or play angry birds!
decimation: principal with the Chertoff Group, a Washington-based consulting firm led by former senior U.S. security and intelligence officials."
decimation: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/07/ukraine-phonecall-idUSL2N0LC1E120140207 " Mark Weatherford, a former deputy under secretary for cybersecurity with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said that some senior government officials were issued mobile handsets that are capable of encrypting conversations but typically do not use them "It is expensive. They are different phones. They are cumbersome," said Weatherford, now a
joecool: otherwise i never would have considered blackberry, it's a shame they have a worthless marketing division
joecool: tried a couple crapdroid landmines, universally disappointed

asciilifeform: decimation: usg did have a few 'parallel universes' of computing. there is, afaik, still a lab or two that use symbolics boxes, for example
BingoBoingo: Stirring shit up with North Korea is a natural move for the United States, because it distracts from the United States surrendering to Cuba to end that battle of the cold war.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: let's say you want some idiot dead. you bring him a loaded pistol, and say 'here. please put in mouth, here's the trigger.' he does.
asciilifeform: 'best' korea << not even a necessary hypothesis
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: For all I know Snowden was a plant for the purpose of stalling and disappearing aspiring "second" leaker
BingoBoingo: decimation: I mean if you do produce something with your angle doesn't have to be a long piece. Just give it some bite.
decimation: usg's 'hand' is a corpse at best
decimation: asciilifeform: actually that's not a very accurate picture
decimation: BingoBoingo: it's a fair point
BingoBoingo: decimation: If you can find an angle that makes the mere filing of a lawsuit interesting write it up for qntra and claim some shares. Otherwise I'm going to keep digging for more skidmarks on Preet's undies.
BingoBoingo: Only a few hours until Krampus day arrives here.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: he has a good chance. just needs a few sympathetic apparatchik judges.
BingoBoingo: lol, I thought about newsing that up but... Does every rural person who files a lawsuit deserve their own story then?
decimation: reddit is kinda like a lesswrong for retards
cazalla: looks like bitbet got a mention http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-predictions-2014-pundits-fared/
thestringpuller: cazalla: other qntra peeps BingoBoingo >> http://www.reddit.com/r/millionairemakers/comments/2q36z6/reddit_lets_make_a_millionaire/
kakobrekla: i also dont do it. cause if have half of your upload and a few tb of stuff.
punkman: https://attic-backup.org/ was also a contender, but I don't trust it
austeritysucks: ok have a good one cazalla you too
cazalla: works here in australia too austeritysucks although a lot of people report otherwise
austeritysucks: but i try my best to encourage people, set them up a hotwallet, shoot them $1 in btc or something ,and get their lips wet
cazalla: maybe think a little further down the road and think of people wanting to cash out items to bitcoin instead of cash
austeritysucks: punkman, is it a secret place? i google circle btc and get nothing
punkman: yeah Circle works in a lot of countries
austeritysucks: cazalla, the majority of people prefer paypal over bitcoin in the community unfortuantely, so the big issue is getting people to adopt bitcoin, i was suggesting that an easy way to promote adoption is to get people to be removed from the btc payment mechanism and have a userfirendl front end that is like using CC, but behind the scenes iti s buying BTC, transferring BTC (and maybe even
austeritysucks: a btc exchange for csgo keys is definitely doable
cazalla: so credit card issue isn't really a big one or steam monopoly etc
austeritysucks: there needs to be a reverse-bitpay :P
austeritysucks: yea a charge-back free payment system is natural, but you see the typical excuses from people who refuse to adapt
austeritysucks: im working on a btc/csgokey exchange
cazalla: bitcoin is such a good fit for this
austeritysucks: paypal is horrible for digital goods though so it's a natural fit, just hard to get the community to adopt it
cazalla: then flip it to someone who wants the knife for bitcoin, making a small btc profit
austeritysucks: cazalla, i handle transactions through a subreddit and csgolounge
mircea_popescu: usually it ends up a little later with "here's the thing we were talking about, except i built it inside a submarine just in case. and here's some beer i brewed and by the way, do you know candi and brandi ? they're twins."
mircea_popescu: is this a notable problem ?
mircea_popescu: leaving a loophole there deliberately where someone with >1 l1 and 0 l2 can still voice themselves
mike_c: it was more meant as a rebuttal to his comment. people who have nothing to contribute type in here often :) he was a glaring example.
mircea_popescu: and it's what generally happens whenever a state claims to be "protecting rights". it's not protecting anything, it's stealing freedom and issuing in its place token "rights". which, much like its paper currency, are fiat worthlessness.
mircea_popescu: trading a freedom for a right is always a bad deal.
mircea_popescu: in any case : a freedom is something the people have, and the state can't take away. the rights are constructions that the state gives, and so the state can take away.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well just don't get arrested over freedom of speech lol << speech isn't really a freedom at that point is it?
mircea_popescu: yeah you and a 2nd that never actually got to go on a jury didn't get anything. i think mebbe it was jurov ?
kakobrekla: seems like im listed in the judge list as well. just ftr i did not receive any compensation for my non-work (as i was not involved in a case).
mircea_popescu: what's so offensive about it ? you had a chance to be like intelligent and prove the common man should have a voice.
rithm: afaik the rota thing was a mircea and wences setup
thestringpuller: that was a good radio program.
mircea_popescu: kinda why democracy is a fucking stupid idea. the only logical counterbalance to the common man's moral myopia is a solid grasp on the кнут.
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2014 22:14:11; jurov: http://trilema.com/2013/rota-post-mortem/ << Anduck see the discussion, it's mircea's and kako's sacrosanct right to arrange unprotected hole in the foyer with a sign "whatever falls here, is our property"
cornfeedhobo: thestringpuller: he is trustworthy because someone doxxed him a while back. even posted pictures of his mom. I never got the sense that it was genuine, but i could be wrong.
thestringpuller: I think he spends too much time in front of a computer and not enough time sleeping with girls.
mircea_popescu: eventually people started caring and it got crushed into the dirt, but for a year or so all sorts of bugs got to dance on the tools an' pretend.
mircea_popescu: at the time, bitcoin was a few dollars and basically nobody gave much of a shit.
thestringpuller: cornfeedhobo: danieldaniel is a weird kid.
joecool: mircea_popescu: about a year or so ago
joecool: cornfeedhobo: still think the best was seeing a minor (danieldaniel) lend btc to a heroin addict (rg), -otc is always good entertainment
mircea_popescu: a really ? i never kept too close track. just a kid wandered in one day.
cornfeedhobo: he is 16 now. i have met him in NYC. not a fan.
