Rassah: Is Atmel really that untrustworthy? Is there
a better option?
Rassah: Ah, got
a eply. Seems we'll be using he Atmel provided SRAM after all. And "We will be doing our own analysis of data from several chips, and provide
a raw entropy file for those who want to do their own for their specific device." combined with "option to enter
a user-supllied salt"
Rassah: is taken from
a different SRAM area every time.
Rassah: asciilifeform: No, that would be
a few of the Mycelium devs. They described
a lot of it to me, since I'm working with them (I'm the one doing the public interraction thing, and running Indiegogo and such)
Rassah: asciilifeform: Atmel SAM4L series running the software, with random number being generated only from SRAM, in combinaton with other things we're considering, like
a salt you can add in
a TXT file
☟︎ Rassah: It's
a USB stick that you stick into your priner's USB port, it detects
a photo, and you hit print, making your printer print
a bicoin paper wallet that's never been exposed to the web. Soon as you pull the stick out, the keys are gone for ever
mircea_popescu: guy shows up here about once
a day, you can ask him in person and get an idea.
Rassah: The only ones on Reddit who brought up issues were the ones I know to have technical backgrounds (sluch, peter todd,
a few others who backed up their concerns with actual technical questions). Most everyone else just went gaga over it. I kinda assumed BitcoinPete knew something about cryptography and security, considering his statement, followed by me asking if he'd be interested in doing an audit for us, and him agreeing.
mircea_popescu: or on the internet. or 20. or having
a bad day. or w/e.
Rassah: mircea_popescu: Typicall they are one and the same. It's rare that people who dn't know whit about
a topic shit all over it. Unless they're politicians
Rassah: mircea_popescu: I haven't heard
a peep from asciilifeform, actually. Most complaints ave been from slush
gabriel_laddel: they spend
a lot on the homeless every year in SF. I imagine that when they hand it out they sort out the papers for these 'people'.
ThickAsThieves: Rassah, bitcoinpete is
a b-
a disciple going back roughly 6mos, he blogs and has
a neat jewfro
Rassah: I am especially concerned about the one where mining in
a pool is made difficult to impossible by making sharing
a secret key that lets the miner steal all coins
a requirement. The way I see it is, we either have pools that concentrate mining power, but don't actually own or control that power, or we create incentives for individuals to amass tons of mining power, since being
a smal miner or as part of
a pool is impossible, and
Rassah:
A lot of the whole "How can we fix 51% attacks" suggestions are really horrible...
Rassah: It was not 5 minutes, it was more like
a long slog into the dumps
fluffypony: so Petamine made
a BIG fuss about moving to p2pool
mircea_popescu: lol wait, the bf is not interested in
a public image anymore ?
Rassah: Ploshay won
a popularity contest basicaly (I ran against her, so I may be biased)
Rassah: ThickAsThieves: but how to apply this logic to Ploshay? Ploshay was well liked, and was like the "popular girl" or whatever, elected during
a very public election when the BF was still something the general public was interested in, and when BF was still interested in
a public image
assbot: People! US Dollars are not worth
a fifth of
a Bitcent. STOP SELLING! : Bitcoin
pankkake: Scott Kveton is the CEO of Urban Airship,
a mobile services platform provider in Portland, Oregon <= CEO, "urban", "mobile services", "portland"
mircea_popescu: Rassah you figured wrong. tieing your ability to sign to bitcoin is
a step in the wrong direction.
pankkake: using bitcoin forces you to
a lower level that is quite inconvenient
Rassah: It's supported by bitcoind, blockchain.info, Armory, Mycelium, and probably many others. I figured bitcoin message signing is
a step in the right direction, because not many are working on making PGP keys secure as hell, but tons of people are woking on making Bitcoin keys secure as hell, and easy to use from wallets. Otherwise I don't know what the difference in implementation is between PGP and BTC signing
mircea_popescu: no, i'm not going to support
a braindamaged half baked re-implementation of pgp in bitcoind.
Rassah: mircea_popescu: I noticed you rely
a lot on PHP... I've been treating my PHP keys like disposable tissues, and relyig on bitcoin message signing instead...
mircea_popescu: which reminds me, dear chan, we also need
a victim list!
mircea_popescu: imo it'd be
a shit move, seeing how plenty of people google taleb to, you know, find taleb.
mthreat: this was
a guy, but i'm sure it's happened more than once
mircea_popescu: mthreat yeah but that someone was
a vapid marketeering bitch.
mircea_popescu: because you think there's somehow two power groups, because i guess...
a lot of talking ? or something.
mthreat: mircea_popescu: have you tried running
a google adword on taleb's own name? people often google themselves. I remember reading
a blog post from
a guy who used that approach to reach someone.
mircea_popescu: i like how this is going, but! what i want is basically the words for
a camho to coldhit an older, accomplished male.
mircea_popescu: Rassah the bf board is easy. i could have
a dead hamster elected, if i wanted to waste btc supporting cancer.
mircea_popescu: now seriously dear assets, we need
a script for the next girl doing
a nude attack vid.
Rassah: pankkake: I agree with you that you don't need
a coin for anything backed. Backing is by definition centralized, so the only thing you can decentralize is the servers handling it. Which, I guess using
a distributed ledger instead of
a centralized one running on your own server saves you
a bit of money, but...
mircea_popescu: Rassah and if instead he were just
a washed up child actor with
a charged past, looking to come to terms with his depression, wouldn't he be claiming basically the exact same things ?
Rassah: mircea_popescu: And Brock also privately has
a ton of high level connections, probably to almost every bitcoin mining company, bitcoin business, and ons of cuntry politicians, from Russia to China to Sout America...
pankkake: in any case, you don't need
a "coin"
pankkake: if you want to transfer USDs tied to
a counterparty, at least use Ripple where you can have more than one central counterparty
Rassah: That's partially why Realcoin, too. Get the pot stirring, maybe someone will get upset and make something better, maybe not, likely it won't go anywhere (he doesn't think it will last may years), but as long as he had fun, he does't give
a shit
Rassah: Brock is not as insultingly direct as you, but the best way to describe him is chaos. He has
a shitton of money, and his goal in life is to create as much chaos and clusterfuck as possible using that money. Including investing in things that compete directly against his own companies and prior investments.
Rassah: It's been
a while since I have been in the anals of bitcointalk, so I forgot. Please fogive me Mircea
mircea_popescu: Rassah makes
a few hundred to
a few ks
a month, valued
a few 100ks to
a mil.
Rassah: Which is fun to do if you aleady don' give
a fuck about things, but is something o keep in check if public work is still to be done
Rassah: mircea_popescu: finally finished your article. Nothing I disagree with. Much of that is discussed in private by some of the attendees, who otherwise put on
a faux public face
nubbins`: mp i'm not sure, i guess generally people with
a lack of social skills both end up cringey and spending
a lot of time at the computer
Rassah: I have made
a few, yes
mircea_popescu:
a, that's easy. because mircea is
a rich bastard, and that means he can claim anything he fucking feels like, then make it so.
nubbins`: waits is actually
a pretty good actor. they were both hamming it up in that scene
mircea_popescu: Rassah there's
a lot teh soft cloud of derps circling btc don't know about.
Rassah: So I think "reddit/skype/etc still wonder why atc is
a thing" should have been " reddit/skype/etc don't even know atc is
a thing."
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves lulz of all time : chick put
a magic marker winking eye next to her nipple and moustaches on both tits. not said
a word.
Rassah: I'm not sure if Altcoin is
a joke or serious, reading is description...
pankkake: I don't think any altcoin should have
a market cap >$10,000 or so
pankkake: no, it's
a good thing, but I wondered if you thought so too
assbot:
A Touch of Class (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
pankkake: why would you consider Altcoin
a success?
mircea_popescu: Rassah well, here's
a point : reddit/skype/etc still wonder why atc is
a thing.
Rassah: whom, if I had met, I'd be laughing at the notion of
a fiat bank? (mind you, I hang out wth the likes of Kody Wilson and Amir Taki, too)
nubbins`: also, i may have
a lead on
a poster job for
a music festival ghostface killah is playing at
ThickAsThieves: i think calling
a cat
a goldigger might be
a tad off the mark
princessnell: mircea_popescu re: blog. US rebellion day was especially bleak this year. so many patriots in love with
a system that despises and exploits them. defending the ghouls that have consumed and spit out their culture.
mircea_popescu: it can't be
a loaded question. it gets immunity, because it's the strict followup to your protest.
mircea_popescu: but anyway. ever seen
a cat sitting on its master's grave ?
pankkake: there was (still is?)
a porn kickstarter, but most of the things there were boring. the only one I voted for didn't go to funding stage
mircea_popescu: <Rassah> chetty: It's Germany. They would have
a much better result if they blocked it with deathmetal << WORD.
Rassah: chetty: It's Germany. They would have
a much better result if they blocked it with deathmetal
danielpbarron: there is some creep in -otc that pays for
a subscription to beastiality porn or something
Rassah: Being on
a tor site doesn't eally mea hiding, does it?
rithm: xvideos and pornhub have
a terrible selection based on the search i just did for childporn
kakobrekla: i got 3kw for 500bux
a couple of months ago
mircea_popescu: Rassah 1.5 watt inverter is kinda low neh ? cause of inductive capacity, you can't really run
a fridge ron it
Rassah: Oh, also got
a 1,500 Watt inverter for it that can power quite
a bit of my house. I can power that thing for about
a week on
a 10 gallon tank of gas. Conveient for camping, power outages, or GTOFing
rithm: it was
a row in some mysql databse
