mats_cd03: sounds easy. there are only
a thousand exit nodes, no?
mircea_popescu: and he has to pay
a big... i mean long ... i mean thick price for it.
mircea_popescu: just like the shit we're talking about here will be
a thing in 2015 and then
mike_c: running
a bitcoin wallet is not being in the senate.
mircea_popescu: in 1700 you could be
a senator by being
a farmer in the us.
mircea_popescu: oh, i wanna be in bitcoin but i can't afford
a computer lalala.
mircea_popescu: <davout> asciilifeform: the answer to this question is less obvious than it seems << spoken like
a tru frenchman :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, washing the code in bleach to get winblowze off is
a good idea.

mircea_popescu: not anymore than you're
a rocket scientist, at any rate.
Mikayla: headed out with
a gay friend tonight
Mikayla: maybe i'm
a really fat guy?
mircea_popescu: Mikayla well somehow i don't think you hacked into
a south african ip.
undata: asciilifeform: help may just be
a calculator, no?
undata: maybe
a pi image could be built which would help with the "by hand" calculations?
Mikayla: hi mircea_popescu sorry was on
a call
mircea_popescu: anyone wanna write
a qntra article titled "how to calculate your own bitcoin address, pen on paper only" ? it'd be
a great thing.
mircea_popescu: jurov yes. but documenting it would be
a very good thing to do.
jurov: btw this is actually good food for thought - is there
a process one can cryptograpically safely *on paper* generate public key (btc address) from private key?
undata: asciilifeform: how best to generate
a safe paper wallet?
davout: signing is
a different story
undata: ben_vulpes: that would be
a consideration
undata: ben_vulpes: oh hey, btw. I will at some point use
a fresh pi and thermal printer to print some paper wallets, then destroy the pi
ben_vulpes: this is
a pretty funny conversation given the previous conversations about noobs and bitcoin
undata: surely there's
a trilema bootstrapping post
Mikayla:
A friend suggested it and had to offline, that's how I ended up here and I'm trying to learn but
a lot looks suspect
Mikayla: considering any person can make
a website I prefer to ask for reputable ones
TheNewDeal: Usagi will open one for you, just send him
a,pm
Mikayla: I would like to open
a bit wallet but not sure about the links I see online. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance
mike_c: use case #1:
a business could allow public web access to
a wallet and interested parties would know it is solvent and where money is going.
mike_c: if it gets hacked.. well, then you should create
a new wallet for privacy.
mike_c: well, primarily it would provide web access to
a watch-only version of your wallet.
mike_c: hm. i wonder if this would be
a useful web service. upload your electrum/armory public key and it will watch your wallet.
jurov: it's about
a year in production, no complaint from coinr users
mike_c: how would you watch
a wallet on blockchain?
Mikayla: Just takes one man, or
a group, to excell in hacking and to pick you as
a target
mod6: someone could make
a worthy ui to interact with the baseline b-
a bitcoind. then qt is out of core, and lives in someother project.
ben_vulpes: avg user should throw down 200 dollars for
a netbook and fucking run unix.
mike_c: avg user can run armory on top of b-
a bitcoind.
ben_vulpes: this is
a *tool* for people who *use tools*, not consumers.
mike_c: mhm. perhaps the average windows user gets the fuck out of b-
a, but kicking them out of bitcoin seems
a bit much.
TheNewDeal: Price jumps or drops by
a factor of 10, everything gets fucked
TheNewDeal: And
a strike that wasnt 10 % out of tge monay
TheNewDeal: wywialm would you consider
a dec 1 expiry?
los_pantalones: yeah, worrying about the width as
a % of the underlying is not
a bad way to look at things
TheNewDeal: If i were to write
a call for
a stock option. It would be quoted in stock/usd not the other way around
wywialm: i just thought it might be
a good idea to quote it as x.eur is quoted
TheNewDeal: wywialm let's talk more about
a december 1 delivery
TheNewDeal: Wywialm you were actually interested in buying
a put i see. I had it backwards
HeySteve: if I can eliminate feed costs this way, should help aquaculture business
a lot
HeySteve: k I am running
a trial at the moment, fish eating it
The20YearIRCloud: But not as bad as detroit, and Ohio has
a pretty great senate/house that keeps the rest of the state from turning into
a cesspool.
The20YearIRCloud: It's been pretty close to there for
a while. Cleveland is extraordinarily poorly managed
wywialm: los_pantalones, let's say i'm protecting
a hypotetical receipt of fiat
TheNewDeal: If i sell you the opportunity to purchase btc at 400, im selling
a call
TheNewDeal: Definitely not delivering for
a contract of maximum 100
mircea_popescu: anyway, i got lunch now. wil be back in
a coupla hours.
HeySteve: well, you'll need
a Bitcoin wallet too... you kinda jumped ahead
Mikayla: unless there is
a place where I can link such
a photo to
Mikayla: well I will take
a picture :)
Mikayla: well I have
a picture with black tape on my nipples?
mircea_popescu: "Has previously posted nudie selfshots on the web. You will be required to prove this by supplying
a link.".
