fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: pleasure, I couldn't think of any others offhand
ThickAsThieves: i guess
ThickAsThieves: but i dont think that equity is with big players
ThickAsThieves: i think, while it seems silly, Gox probably does have some brand equity
davout: i really am curious to see how that will actually work
davout: i guess if that's what you define as an "altcoin" then we are in agreement
davout: pankkake: "you can also create other altcoins in ripple <<< i don't think so or i misunderstand sthg
Apocalyptic: then I guess I did
ThickAsThieves: i meant the tool can be used the same way
Apocalyptic: ThickAsThieves, <ThickAsThieves> bitcoin works for the same purpose // I argue the purpose is clearly different
ThickAsThieves: i guess i just missed where we disagreed
ThickAsThieves: i'm not stating it as a competitor to bitcoin, so much as the reverse
davout: ThickAsThieves: i don't really see anything wrong with ripple as long as you take it for what it actually is : a mechanism to transmit debt, for which you have to buy stamps from a single company
ThickAsThieves: i dont like it nonetheless
ThickAsThieves: I guess the japanese horror movies were right, baby blood does make you younger http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/05/science/young-blood-may-hold-key-to-reversing-aging.html?_r=1
jurov: and that's like fourth time i got completely improbable bacteria diagnosed, including some special superbacteria from iraq

artifexd: I get the R. But when I paste the url to imgur, it shows a key.
Apocalyptic: so no trilema article regarding that convo with bitcoingirl I guess
artifexd: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that something is screwy.
punkman: I'm getting metalgamer.eu on http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/
artifexd: Seriously. I'm getting "This is the default web page for this server." on the port 80 url.
mircea_popescu: there is some skulldruggery going on here. 1 sec i show you.
artifexd: In which case, no. I have something that looks like a stylized R.
mircea_popescu: artifexd i mean the favicon strictly.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'm keen, give me details
mircea_popescu: i mean people usually derp about how bad trolls are on the internet
wywialm: I see what you mean :)
wywialm: i'm asking cause I was just accused in the -otc of shilling
mircea_popescu: that's a for instance. i know enough about the guy to tell you that if you're using the wot you're implicitly trusting him.
mircea_popescu: wywialm i'd say its adequate
wywialm: mircea_popescu, is the rating of 10 appropriate to reflect the fact that I operate numerisTrade account? Or should I set the rating to 1 not to prop up "total trust" (I'm aware that total trust should not be taken into account heavily, but still..)
Naphex: i will prolly document it after i have a full working example, prolly with some client front end to demo it
Naphex: mircea_popescu: regarding DNS2address resolve for bitcoin, i am setting up an updated example that includes support for BIP32 xpub keys for address derivation
wywialm: ofc, i just had to authenticate
Naphex: thats nice cause i broke mine a week ago:(
mircea_popescu: i wish i recalled the url of fluffypony's pdf crusher
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell peterl i disagree btw. while i'm pretty sure quantum computing is the exact equivalent of perpetuum mobile, only we don't have the three rules of quantum compudynamics yet, cold fusion may or may not be in the same situation. maybe we discover something about lasers that makes containment work, who knows.

mircea_popescu: i imagine sooner or later you'll figure things out.
bawse: im just saying if my 1583gh cointerra only makes 32 or .09 in this market, i can make $60 with .09
bawse: im only selling hashing power through cex in the hopes of selling 1gh for the price of 2, hoping the person signs up under my link so i can make 3% of what he buys in the future. and also initially buy 1gh with the extra $3.31 i charged. Plus PMB's are tales of people who do not know how to cash out BTC at $165 more than they are worth like I do.
danielpbarron: i get that part
danielpbarron: i don't know very much about smart cards
danielpbarron: i assumed that a built-in RNG on the card meant that the key was generated on the card
Naphex: danielpbarron: if i'm bored i'd roll the dice and upload it on the card using a clean linux/busybox boot ;]
random_cat_: anyone know the software (i think meteor based) developed at MIT (i think, maybe at cambridge) which allows for data protection against a hostile server operator?
bawse: Thats nice of you, I really wish you the best and was touched when you accepted my apology.
Naphex: i mean whoever use bitcoin for normal purchases, and would want a 'secure' hot wallet
Naphex: i have been working a lot with smart cards/desfire3
danielpbarron: i didn't realize it has a random number generator built in; I find it hard to believe it's cryptographically secure
danielpbarron: i recently got one of the openPGP smart cards
mike_c: ooh, i see the once a month s.mpoe sale is in effect
mike_c: or wait a few days and I'll have a script that you can include in the page that will link it to the bet it is displaying with your ref address.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even reactionary, myself, i've not gotten so far. some visiting french politics professor called me "white"
mircea_popescu: i also picked up "nrx" today ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i keep learning all these wonderful things.
mircea_popescu: "I use "sign" in the widest sense of the definition. It is a wonderful case of an almost popular use of a very broad word in almost the exact sense of the scientific definition." << this may actuallty be the only case where popular use actually coincides with scientific use.
asciilifeform: (what did i do? well, i worked summers in a bio lab. technically unpaid. so, i was golden.)
mircea_popescu: you've gotten nustso socialist over there btw. i mean wtf is this, community service ? i wouldn't have graduated.
mircea_popescu: i *think* it's based off some comment of mine from x years ago that being an admin is being a superservant not a superuser.
mircea_popescu: ok, am i nuts or does http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/ have a very different icon from http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/ ? ☟︎
bounce: then again, it'd mean campaigning. I'm not that fond of lying through my teeth.
mircea_popescu: i fucking use this for my own benefit, as it happens. "i've not spanked anyone in a long time, who'd like a red butt ?"
mircea_popescu: funniest thing i read all week.
mircea_popescu: bounce the only few times i ever wenbt to bruxelles i used to live-in with a friend that did exactly that.
benkay: i'm an expert at selling bullshit to vc's.

ThickAsThieves: a term you will see more and more in bitcoin world i suspect
ThickAsThieves: pitch decks, i bet
ThickAsThieves: i dunno, i assume no coding is oinvolved in the latter
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, hackathon is that make teams and do a project thing
mircea_popescu: you knoiw, i think i followed you into some sort of very obscure reddit/wikipedia drama.
ThickAsThieves: to point to her i guess
ThickAsThieves: i never heard of one til it was cancelled
mircea_popescu: you can ask the ripple people about mah ripple article if you particularly wish to be annoying, but i mean to what end.
mircea_popescu: well ok, but i mean how would you cover fiat ? need a buncha bank accts.
mircea_popescu: no but i mean what do you intend for it to do.
mircea_popescu: https://github.com/paybee/electrum-doge/blob/master/AUTHORS o look, he's even i nthere.
ThickAsThieves: i'm not sure if i have a 'current' list lolstate, i may have taken a screen shot of the lmb site before it went away, but otherwise, the 'list' of pending transfers was not saved
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I found someone doing something similar to PayBee but Vertcoin-specific, so I struck a deal with them and we've been sorting things out over the past couple of weeks
nahkunt: yes i agree and i think it's a wise decision to start with just vert
nahkunt: fluffypony: serious question: will you consider other altcoins than vert some day? i realise that's pipedream talk but i'm curious
ThickAsThieves: i scooped mp's legal plan a while back
ThickAsThieves: lolstate i am in no way involved with bitcoin securities at this time, well, other than owning some personally
nahkunt: fluffypony: ok thanks i will
fluffypony: nahkunt: I'm off to bed, but hit me up tomorrow if you have any VertPay questions
ThickAsThieves: lolstate i've been jaded since i was like 8 years old
mircea_popescu: i may be the lord of all evil but i can't compress time.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea who the rest of the derps present are or why'd i/anyone care.
ThickAsThieves: i should probably buy an audio recorder
nahkunt: benkay: ok man... i think you're misinterpreting my tone, i wasn't really all that serious about it. i just came to ask people's opinion on https://vertpay.com — they're having an IPO soon
ThickAsThieves: i'll start a doc tomorrow (i'm not entirely sober atm) but basically who are the targets, and what are the main gripes and concerns to be expressed to each
lolstate: I don’r need neew info, TAT. That’s ok.
ThickAsThieves: mp, okay, but i do feel some prep would be nice
ThickAsThieves: lolstate i have no new info for you, sorry
