asciilifeform: it just doesn't do anything in particular with the info, other than displaying it
asciilifeform: decimation: sks as presently running -does- check
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu this is yet another attribute of the animal we are hunting (the yet-undiscovered diddled pgp client.) almost certainly it shows the claimed fp rather than the actual.☟︎
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu the next screamingly obvious step is to catalogue 'liar keys' - the most interesting species of which consists of keys where the claimed fingerprint stored with a modulus differs from the recomputed (by us) fingerprint. as per http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-12.2
asciilifeform: and has it reconnected to new peers? or pulling from one ?
asciilifeform: yes, but how long has this particular node been stuck?
asciilifeform: (one of my early, unreleased experiments had a disconnector that tripped when we learn that the node we're syncing from is spewing orphans above threshold. perhaps time to bring this back ?)☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: decimation: for how long did you observe this ?
asciilifeform: or fails to move for a day straight ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what "the thing is worth" is a complex issue << let's put it this way. my crops are worth more to me burned than given to kolhoz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... post it here, turn it into a weapon << as mircea_popescu well knows, weapons do not fight by themselves. (outside of norse legend)
asciilifeform: a select few have the meatwot to actually profit.
asciilifeform: where folks sweat and kill themselves with digging for free, in hopes of getting a few crumbs from the master's table.
asciilifeform: back to the 0day thing - it is what is known as a 'tournament market.'
asciilifeform: see also the example of farmers who burned their crops and livestock rather than submit to 'collectivization'
asciilifeform: this sorta dovetails into mircea_popescu's 'schmucks can't own gold' article
asciilifeform: think of it this way (possibly paraphrasing old thread.) imagine you discovered a cache of plutonium bricks in your back yard. (rtg in space probe fell apart?) would you let them go to a scrap dealer for 100 usd each? knowing that they are worth millions, and at the same time risking your arse by revealing that you ever had them to begin with? or would you say 'fuck you' and dig a deeper hole?☟︎
asciilifeform: 'bug bounties' are without exception - sad jokes
asciilifeform: 'The unpleasant part is a guy from Starbucks calling me with nothing like “thanks” but mentioning “fraud” and “malicious actions” instead. Sweet!' << moral: sell it to spammers next time. for btc.
asciilifeform: jurov: the article specifically mentioned that the server runs continuously, but the house thermostat controls a selectable vent to the street (hence must be installed on an outer wall)
