mircea_popescu: when you feed
a string to gpg you either get
a "nonsense" complaint or
a "signed by X" response, with
a warning that "we can't know who x is "
MolokoDeck: searching and indexing that blog sounds like
a website backend function, not part of the bot.
MolokoDeck: it also logs the documents to some kind of repostory or blog. Knowing the preferred format and web address of that ahead of time may be good, but that's like
a quick mod to make it do whatever wherever.
MolokoDeck: bot sits in here. People point it at
a cryptocontract with multiple signatories. it verifies the signatures. if they're good it creates an unspendable bitcoin transaction with the address encoding the SHA256 hash of the contract. When that transaction clears and is on the blockchain, it notifies the IRC channel and gives the URL of
a logged copy of the document, it's associated hash, and
a pointer to the blockchain transac
MolokoDeck: so the wallet just has to have
a few centiBTC in it at
a time.
MolokoDeck: yeah, it's like 5 cents
a document, about the cost of
a xerox copy.
MolokoDeck: or if the bot is started with
a shell command the parameters end up in the process list.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDeck it's never going to own more than
a bitcent or w/e
MolokoDeck: probably none, other than that the software has to store the passphrase somewhere. like... on
a server.
MolokoDeck: what is of concern is that to make
a valid transaction to the bitcoin blockchain one has to manage
a web wallet. The first cut is going to use block.io since they have
a simple API that includes the testnet (which I'm using in such
a rudimentary way it doesn't matter whether it's obsolete features exist or not. the subset of features is common to the latest bitcoind)
ben_vulpes: what's the "no congress shall be held to the agreements of
a previous congress" citation?
MolokoDeck: ok. not having to sweat keyring security seems
a good idea since everyone trusts gribble.
mircea_popescu: so i figure why no give clueless noobs
a chance. send an order "
http://mediaparty.info/2014/ << find the afterparty". half hour later, "i can't find anything. nobody is sayinga word on sm, there's ONE picture of
a guy and some wine on twitter without enough background to find where it is or anything".
MolokoDeck: instead I'm using the wot API and the associated public key server, adding the public key to the bot's keyring each time
a contract is validated, then verifying the signatures.
MolokoDeck: not sure I want the test server's URL going into
a channel log though.
MolokoDeck: since the idea of
a cryptocontract is that it's unenforceable and the value of performing as per the contract is one's reputation, it seemed important to make sure the claimed signatories are probably the signatories.
gribble: Error: "gpginfo" is not
a valid command.
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2014 03:25:41; gribble: (gpg info [--key|--address] <nick>) -- Returns the registration details of registered user <nick>. If '--key' option is given, interpret <nick> as
a GPG key ID.
ben_vulpes: does anyone have
a link to the lawsuit by the guy who sued the usg for the gold they 'borrowed'?
MolokoDeck: but so far I haven't dug in enough to know if that's doable given command line GPG, I think you have to validate against
a public key.
MolokoDeck: then the bot would return an SHA256 hash of the document, encode it as
a bitcoin address and make
a minimum non-spendable transaction, and log to
a repository or blog the document with the sha256 hash and the transaction ID containing the encoded hash, and the block number it's in. It would wait to get
a confirmation before doing this so the transaction would be in the blockchain.
MolokoDeck: end of september seems easily doable to have
a working version going and available as source in
a GIT repository.
ben_vulpes: hey does anyone have
a link to that thing where coinbase straight up blocks certain addrs?
MolokoDeck: ready to talk about details for completing the cryptocontract bot. most of the unit tests are in place, but it's
a good idea to fill in any desiderata or necessities to reasonable detail.

gribble: Error: "bc,halfreward" is not
a valid command.
BingoBoingo: Already been deleted. If the FBI wants to investigate
a FERPA violation they can check my phone records, like they probably already are doing and check out those 630 phone numbers
BingoBoingo: Or to raise better kinds of suspicion. So you get
a space ship instead of
a phone
BingoBoingo: So my phone just got
a bunch of MMS messages from phone numbers in Chicago which are registed as "landlines"
ben_vulpes: keep in mind this is
a wp hosting company using plesk.
ben_vulpes: assume that client
a has the most cash flowing through the box by 2 orders of magnitude. is hosting company b's behavior reasonable?
ben_vulpes: there's client
a, hosting company b, and consultants c
kakobrekla: ill donate you
a trezor if you want to attack it
thestringpuller: actually I think
a 5 year old could understand the wiki article
jurov: if i come around
a scope, what am i to look for?
devthedev: Is anyone in possession of
a Trezor?
BingoBoingo: Wouldn't have the same impact if it were
a glue horse.
BingoBoingo: Well, that's kind of the point of the horse head. Khartoum was
a very expensive horse.
TomServo: Ah - just got
a chuckle out of that last rating.
ben_vulpes: world keeps moving forwards while you're playing at being
a dragon, thestringpuller
thestringpuller: is this what old people feel like. "new tech!?!?!?" "no that's been out for
a year" "oh."
kakobrekla: ascii you have
a kindle or like seven different readers?
ben_vulpes: kakobrekla: i use
a kindle, would like
a kindle dx.

a Kobo, it's nice enough, and reads epub
ben_vulpes: van is
a flawless crystal of tests tho
ben_vulpes: i derped

gribble: Error: "late" is not
a valid command.
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell pete_dushenski "it's going down it's going down like there's
a whale in the boat"
pankkake: oh, that's nice. I was expecting some blurry image as
a result
thestringpuller: okay I will be stashing paper wallets at dragon con in

TomServo: danielpbarron: Not
a bad example I suppose. Hard to relay the context in which it was asked..closest I can come to is: Was previously balls deep in the bezzel economy and rejecting of bitcoin and has since 'saw the light', as it were.
punkman: the worst is all the otc people going "gawzirabaws iz
a scammer? no wai!"
pankkake: maybe create
a blog "scamming scammers"?
pankkake: I suppose since the ads are per site, I can't have an account for
a bunch of sites? it wouldn't make sense for advertisers anyway…
mircea_popescu: interesting, who knew ads have
a motivational function for the publisher.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure it's all the rage at the mahjongg club, but again, to exist that retirement house in florida needs
a lot of externalities in place.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, you know that scammy site is in google news, such
a joke
mircea_popescu: i had no idea it's yours, but at issue is the nonsensical "k.

midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I'm not
a bitcoin core dev. Are you saying *I* specifically am behaving badly, or are you using me as
a bitcoin core rep to make comments about them?
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Bitcoin Core devs behaving badly does not preclude the Conformal team behaving badly. This is not
a binary condition.
fluffypony: nubbins needs to make that into
a t-shirt
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I can actually see you in

mircea_popescu: karpeles was too busy to obey too, there's
a never ending string.
