keonne: I think there are two K's in grokking mircea_popescu
truffles: Apocalyptic i didnt think i gave a clear picture of how things went down so ill paste relevant lines
mircea_popescu: yeah, the first time people do this sort of shit i call it luck.
mircea_popescu: jurov wanna hear something funny ? i just paid the largest bonus today, of my entire history in bussiness
mircea_popescu: i never heard of any practical classification of viruses by... size. what diff does it make, 2kb.
mircea_popescu: it can be chocolate truffles for all i care.
mircea_popescu: like, you know, i'll never eat something i'm not allowed to look at.
mircea_popescu: i guess he gets to waste some more resources.
mircea_popescu: o wait, you're banned, i got no pr and gerald hasn't yet enough of a clue to be here.
jurov: kakobrekla yes. if someone is in my machine *and* knows what i'm doing on the ethernet port, i'm having bigger problem that some warm wallet
mircea_popescu: i can somehow send you email perfectly safely by pastebining it. do the same, alter the firmware to use gpg signed packets.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 i imagined that's what you probably meant, but i discarded it because it made 0 sense. you don't care what the channel is like, you encrypt the message not the conduit.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves obviously it's just a draft, i wouldn't expect to be filmed verbatim.
jurov: i don't connect it to switch, but with patch cable directly to notebook
jurov: sd card is encrypted and i always use keyboard connected directly to rpi for passphrase
jurov: i *am* using rpi as a wallet (with electrum), however:
keonne: omg if I see mpoe-pr at the conf, I so am going to get her autograph and ask hope she emasculates me
keonne: mircea_popescue: I actually havent met Dan Held in person, and my intel is lacking in the hot or not space
keonne: i lold
bounce: asciilifeform: I forgot who mentioned to hook a 10k resistor to a mike in, turn up the gain, and feed that to the entropy pool. how suitable an entropy source is that in your opinion?
nubbins`: meantime, it's somehow 4am, so i'm off
nubbins`: no sweat. wish i could give ya better advice
nubbins`: vault of satoshi is another, but i think lower volume and they trade in doge, so...
nubbins`: they're the only place i've used in the past, but honestly i don't feel too great about them these days
nubbins`: i know almost all of those words
asciilifeform: i cannot in good conscience recommend anything that is presently available for sale
kakobrekla: im not using it myself but i am curious
asciilifeform: i cannot emphasize this enough
kakobrekla: i wonder what the numbers will show.
artifexd: I've learned that the raspberry pi has a hardware rng. My current plan is to build use that. I'll Von Neumann it if necessary. Regardless, as soon as I get one, I'll use the tools asciilifeform recommended to measure the entropy.
kakobrekla: a well i might have jumped the gun, nothing particularly interesting except for the fact of recognizing the problem.
ozbot: I am going to build a true random number generator ...
asciilifeform: i've done it before, when younger and poorer
asciilifeform: i'd have baked the rng pcbs personally, but on account of them being analogue devices, you can't really characterize them unless you use the same board materials as the final product.
asciilifeform: (i used to. 8 mil and smaller, easy. same process as b&w photography)
asciilifeform: now, i hesitate to recommend them 'for everyone' - all i've had done there, is very simple boards.
decimation: I guess this is why it only costs $1 to ship anything from hong kong
asciilifeform: i used a different house before
decimation: thus, the encouragement for personal inspection & analysis, I presume?
asciilifeform: decimation: (as i will detail at a later time) i am expecting the supply chain to be fucked with
decimation: I suppose there is very little that an enemy could do to diddle with it
asciilifeform: did you actually think i would personally bake every unit ?
asciilifeform: i'd be tempted to recommend... mine. but right now i've only a handful of them, and they aren't for sale yet.
Mats_cd03: for... aerial photography, i guess
Mats_cd03: i don't get it, because RC manufacturers have been doing just fine, and wifi/bt is just idiotic unless you live in the sticks and/or want more bandwidth from the unit
ThickAsThieves: i think it's just tricking me to spend more credits reloading!
ThickAsThieves: your blog thinks i am not a human being
ThickAsThieves: i do like the mood of it, though the more "adult" aspects feel a little out of place
danielpbarron: i sent a test transaction of 1 mBit and it showed up no problem, so i sent the original transaction again
cgcardona_: ah I see
danielpbarron: i accidently double sent a transaction, luckily to someone I knew irl
cgcardona_: i was like 'sketch balls!'
cgcardona_: the first time it happened I moved all my coins to blockchain.
cgcardona_: yea I've been having transactions just get stuck in 'pending' for hours cause of their off blockchain stuff.
danielpbarron: i have had sketchy stuff happen with coinbase recently too
cgcardona_: i'm just erked cause I've been wanting to get my coins off of web wallets. I trust no one at this point pretty much.
danielpbarron: but i'm almost out of paper :<
danielpbarron: i had to hack it a little to make it stop printing the ugly extra private key and url at the bottom
danielpbarron: i use it to print 1 mBit slips to hand out
cgcardona_: supply != demand. I smell an opportunity.
danielpbarron: i heard the piper guy was at one of the conferences recently
cgcardona_: at least I know i'm not the only one left hanging.
cgcardona_: ok well I guess that's 'good' to hear that someone else hasn't received any confirmation recently.
danielpbarron: i have since ordered some more rolls of paper and I also have not recieved a confirmation email or shipment
danielpbarron: but i got mine last year
danielpbarron: i have a piper
cgcardona_: yea that's what I thought you meant. Just wanted to clarify
asciilifeform: i can envision folks telling tales of adventure: '... and then i took my C off its safety...'
jborkl: unless I beat it out of you, but that is a whole other story
jborkl: and you assuming you know what I made the address out of, and you would not irl
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ the more formal objection would be that you're trying to construct a bridge through the process of "here are some bricks i found, i wonder which cool way i could stack them together"
jborkl: I will post up the adress tomorrow
cgcardona_: i figured just putting all of my btc behind a 'hello w0rld' brain wallet would be good to go
jborkl: ok, I will
cgcardona_: oh I see that's by my Bizarro world clone cgCARDANO - very nice
cgcardona_: i turn on loud music and shake my booty to generate extra entropy myself
asciilifeform: mike_c: i've an analogue rng, feeding /dev/random myself.
cgcardona_: now i know why it's taking so damn long. THEY'RE SETTING UP A THERMAL CAMERA ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE
asciilifeform: do you see where i'm going with this?
cgcardona_: i think it's a sweet concept
jborkl: so I did not think that applied
jborkl: but I would not put my wallet on a pi either?
cgcardona_: I think it's pretty cool.
cgcardona_: i'm sure there's a huge market for something that cool
cgcardona_: also I'm considering just taking their open source hardware and paying a team of people to churn them out and deliver them on time
asciilifeform: (i wouldn't. 'raspberry' is a terrible board)
cgcardona_: i'm considering it of course.
cgcardona_: yes you're right I can make it myself.
cgcardona_: well to take money from people like me I suppose
asciilifeform: i still don't get, why collect money unless you're ready to hand a widget over
cgcardona_: and it arrived in like 3 days and I got a personal email from Canton.
cgcardona_: i ordered this https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/
cgcardona_: i ordered 500 aluminum casascius and they arrived in like 4 days and I got an email
cgcardona_: all the threads that I read say it's a legit product and that the person who got one was stoked.
cgcardona_: yea I guess so.
cgcardona_: yea I'm still waiting on my freaking piper wallet to arrive. It's been a month since I paid for it and they haven't even sent me a confirmation email. And I've contacted them twice since. :-|
MGK: Ok I will over look that, thanks.
MGK: I don't understand.
ozbot: I Learned to Fight Like an American at the FSA Training Camp in Jordan: America's Role in the Syrian
MGK: Alright I promise thats it lol
