asciilifeform: if fabless, they owned what? a set of masks, that an undergrad could easily cough up at this point? a list of peculiarly gullible chumps? - anyone with a net connection can regenerate that oen
assbot: 2 results for 'blub' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=blub
assbot: This is the largest investment in a BTC company to date. http://t.co/MZl7B4Nj9F /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash-assets /Mircea_Popescu /hashtag/MPEx?src=hash
mircea_popescu: i could of course be entirely wrong, maybe he's really a woman and needs special encouragement to "participate".
asciilifeform: well, someone not long ago tried to invite a n00b to #b-a
asciilifeform: mosquito flies around #b-a annoyingly, and no one swats. i found this odd.
mircea_popescu: seems to me more like discussing @ cavalry officer's mess all about how there's a bunch of reeds on a riverside "free for the taking"
asciilifeform: point is not to create ddos, but to swat a mosquito
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, so through this or any other million ways one so inclined could create a ddos network. ok, so ?
ben_vulpes: and in what sense does redirecting a ddos actually lead to a rotting corpse?
asciilifeform always thought even a chimp could follow his recipes. what does he need to add, pictures? voices? music?
asciilifeform: nothing stops anyone reading this from firing up 'tcpdump', logging uncloaked into #b-a a few hundred times, grabbing a dump similar to my own but more complete, and pointing the idiot boxes at, e.g., 'reddit' 24/7/365.
asciilifeform: incidentally, if anyone bothered to read the packet dump i posted a while ago, they should know that the ddos bot uses misconfigured consumer routers (upnp reflection) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: * BitLuckInfo has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) << you know this makes me feel a lot better about giving out voice / ratings to noobs.
asciilifeform did not know that this was a secret
mircea_popescu: whereas the chieftain fathers 50% of the actual offspring on a regular basis.
mircea_popescu: by this token a discussion of primitive village demographics will center on the visible males
mircea_popescu: reflect that it's too bad we gave anyone over 40 the vote" <<< for what it's worth, this is a woesome misrepresentation of the male. it's the beta male fighing for cotnrol, about as relevant in the discussion as the fat female fighting for reproductive equality.
mircea_popescu: "a horrid sort of gossipy social activism" o ya.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> more of a 'steer is not functionally identical to a cow' sort of thing here. << WHen collected for meat it is
asciilifeform: more of a 'steer is not functionally identical to a cow' sort of thing here.
asciilifeform: and, conversely, one who had a second head sewn on by a demented vivisectionist is not a Yottin
asciilifeform: for the same reason that a man who has freshly lost his head in the guillotine is not 'the headless horseman'
mircea_popescu: "Note that the addresses that appear only in the second list still may be in danger, e.g., if they stem from a BIP32 wallet and one knows the "xpub" public key."
mircea_popescu: "There seems to be a new buggy program that reuses the same R value for all signatures in a transaction. It started around September 2014"
asciilifeform: it's a pure k-of-n decode
asciilifeform: thing is, with a code like raptor, -order- of packets no longer matters
mircea_popescu: this will be a nightmare for gaming.
asciilifeform: thus every packet identifies what pubkey (i.e. who signed) and what particular fountain it belongs to (what's a fountain? see definition of 'raptor' and other 'fountain' erasure codes)
mircea_popescu: jurov i imagine he just wants a more continuous bgp arrangement.
asciilifeform: jurov: a 'wot-enabled' router will simply prioritize, say, udp packets signed with particular keys
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2014 05:11:53; asciilifeform: a 4096-bit rsa signature and key fp fit handily in a udp minimal packet.
asciilifeform: where every packet knows who paid for it << those who imagine a wot-routing based net as a rent-seekers' paradise are mistaken. it is today's net that is a rent-seeker's paradise, where folks who cannot abide ddos must buy bandwidth in vast excess of their normal needs ☟︎
asciilifeform: '1. ditch PGP, it's a millstone.' << leper is ringing his bell. thank him and cross the street to avoid contagion
assbot: This is the largest investment in a BTC company to date. http://t.co/MZl7B4Nj9F /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash-assets /Mircea_Popescu /hashtag/MPEx?src=hash
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2014 05:04:09; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is why, in my unofficial wonderland, you can't even open a socket without transmitting an rsa-signed a 'this is me, and my wot' breath of life packet.
mircea_popescu: http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=just%20because%20from:mircea_popescu << i think i found a great way to traverse the logs
mircea_popescu: because you can't fucking write text, it's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it that matters. gotta make a fucking drawing of it.
gribble: You rated user dooglus on Wed Jul 2 22:02:07 2014, with a rating of 3, and supplied these additional notes: Truly a pillar of the community..
fluffypony: tell the regulators that the USG owns CLAMs by virtue of them having a bunch of BTC in May?
BingoBoingo: Maybe that's the point of the clams thing, being a kind of retarded mess that's going to be a huge pain for rgulators.
mircea_popescu: i like this guy, but he has the communication abilities of an engineer, and as a result ends up with the local minimums ffs.
fluffypony: so in a court of law I'm certain the argument could be made that it has equivalency, and merely giving it a new name doesn't make it any different to Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: fluffypony something like http://trilema.com/2012/the-reasons-why-bitcoin-securities-cant-be-regulated-by-the-sec/ 2012 is too far in the past so we don't remember it, therefore must make bitcoin clone to say it's a gaming currence ?
mircea_popescu: so the tardstalk schmucks were going around acting as if this utter bum is somehow a businessman.
mircea_popescu: from Mr. Barber, even if a judgment was already in hand today. This factor weighed heavily in the Debtors’ and Committee’s decision-making."
mircea_popescu: "Mr. Barber does not have the ability to fund a defense of any cause of action and would likely be forced into a chapter 7 if forced to defend against claims brought by the estate. The financial statement suggests that such a chapter 7 filing would be determined to be a “no asset” case. Accordingly, the Debtors and the Committee believe that absent a settlement, it would be very difficult to collect anything at all
assbot: Logged on 08-12-2014 15:26:33; mircea_popescu: "Mr. Barber’s financial statement shows that he is currently insolvent on a balance sheet basis."
mircea_popescu: "Mr. Barber’s financial statement shows that he is currently insolvent on a balance sheet basis." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "They believe the extreme difficulty of collection that the Debtors and/or the Committee will face in the event a judgment is entered against Mr. Barber warrants an approval of the Mutual Release, subject to the right of the Debtors and the Committee to pursue claims against Mr. Barber to the extent there is insurance coverage available to pay such claims."
danielpbarron: is 15% monthly gains considered a conservative estimate or what? are the tardstalkers still so gullible?
mircea_popescu: " Very little overhead - because hardware sales is just a necessary part in this service industry." mkay, very logics in this verbiage.
jurov: <adlai> [20141208 01:41] jurov: what happens when a coinbr account has assets but no btc when you need to charge the management fee? << for now unpaid fees just keep piling up as negative balance
mircea_popescu: to put a face on "VC funded money fire" : https://www.google.com/search?q=Ann+L.+Winblad&complete=0&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch
mats: gambling is a rough biz
mircea_popescu: it was just a petfood seller with the odd idea of actually buying warehouses.
BingoBoingo: Oh, it was a whole Amazon.com style retailer I thought
mircea_popescu: ie, "we're fleecing the living dailights out of you for no reason, but if you assemble in large groups we'll fleece a little less ?"
BingoBoingo: Sure and pets.com was an idea, that could have totally worked if the thing actually was budgeted to live off of retailer profit margins instead of a VC funded money fire
mircea_popescu: i'm sure all the various 19yos that had THE IDEA of you know, a bunch of naked women in your house, are spiritual forefathers to the harem.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: mats, about a month ago, forget which article, wasn't that dramatic << http://trilema.com/2014/waroflife-swol-october-2014-statement-closing/#comment-109570
BingoBoingo: "Even the Pets.com idea is looking mighty good. The basic notion that people wanted to buy pet food online and have it delivered to their homes turns out to be a sound one."
BingoBoingo: "We’re still waiting for Kozmo 2.0. But there’s also good reason to applaud the folks behind Flooz.com. They wanted to create their own internet-based currency, and though Flooz was a flop, bitcoin has now shown that digital currency can play huge role in the modern world."
cazalla: at least from what i can tell, BingoBoingo maybe you are inclined to look it over a bit more, i'll take another look in the morning , zzz now
cazalla: late here so not a big write up but seems like some lulzy shit
cazalla: mats, about a month ago, forget which article, wasn't that dramatic
cazalla: bit of a disagreement on trilema.com in the comments too mats
mats: i wonder what the odds are tat went and got a day job
mircea_popescu: might even be a recycle
BingoBoingo: See this Salon ignoring Orlov thing is like the rest of the "Bitcoin Press" lapping up Bitpay spending out the ass to sponsor a bowl game while ignoring... That there's actually a game that's now going to be played with teams and stuff.
mircea_popescu: punkman well yes, "fairness" as misunderstood by the butthurt parade is going against a hard limit of the universe.
cazalla: on it's own it's a terrible metric but i keep an eye on it just to see if people are picking up the stories qntra runs
cazalla: tbh i was getting into it, a lil' disappointed twitter is yet to unban me
cazalla: <ben_vulpes> sports games are stories now? <<< and yet it got a bunch of retweets lol
ben_vulpes: oh and it's not a *hard* limit, just a default.
ben_vulpes: mats: today i discovered that docker images have a 10GB limit unless you specify otherwise with dm.whatever options on the command line for the docker daemon
cazalla: mircea_popescu, was not sure which dir to set to write, figured better to leave alone, it's not really a big issue as is
mircea_popescu: article goes on to say that name wasn't released, but that the pracitce of buying information about various legal misdeeds of other people is by now a common practice in romania, for they convicted who are also rich. like a trying to get out of jail thing.
mircea_popescu: "timisoara businessman accused of romania's outgoing president's brother [who is being sent to jail for a pile of various fraud, corruption and graft charges]"
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> like, maybe I should just have a WP account. << i can see this.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: It's a game. The story is in the teams not the sponsors. No one remembers the sponsors of the bowl games.
cazalla: anyway, taking a walk to reflect on this act of stupidity
cazalla: ben_vulpes, i learned this lesson a few years back already
mike_c: that's not a bad thing. but makes it harder for authors.
cazalla: mike_c, technically you already have an account, i create them for authors and use for publishing their articles, i can change so that you can log in and post a draft
mike_c: like, maybe I should just have a WP account.
mike_c: #b-a -> {assbot, gribble}
adlai: crowdsource stats, collect a bounty to distribute among all entities providing valid signatures for transactions during black friday. pay the consumers for their data!
cazalla: if anyone remembers .au police taking a bitcoin atm.. cops have revealed the inventory from the bust, no info on actual bitcoin amount so nothing newsworth but this paragraph is lulzy "The cash haul was more than $313,000, with property seized including vehicles, mobile phones, computers and a rare Bitcoin ATM."
[Namworld]: Since ads are not direct link but a FB link that tracks and redirect, I guess bots just click and never request the page they're asked to redirect to.
[Namworld]: Aye, should have at least 500 clicks once it's done. At least FB side. Apparently most don't even get to have a request sent to the actual website.
mircea_popescu: [Namworld] anyway, let me know when it's finished and i'll do a sumup
[Namworld]: Easier than copying from elsewhere. I doubt it's hard to come up with a lot of FB credentials on black market/from a botnet.
[Namworld]: Yet when it's clicks for fanpage, they result in a fan, and randomly selecting fans gives you a realistic profile.
[Namworld]: My guess is a lot.
[Namworld]: I'll try raising the bid a bit I guess.
assbot: A.D. - Official Trailer: A.D. the Series - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1w3OmoM )
adlai: jurov: what happens when a coinbr account has assets but no btc when you need to charge the management fee?
BingoBoingo: xanthyos: That's a hoax post.
xanthyos: gotta find a pose that's close to this mugshot to make a cute meme
