asciilifeform: if i recall, there was a fed. gov grant for them to buy the machines
antephialtic: actually I have seen quite a few urban cops on segways.
benkay: Mats_cd03: google "i am satoshi nakamoto"
thestringpuller: Mats_cd03: if you sell 6 shirts I'll do it
Mats_cd03: if someone makes t shirts with "i am satoshi nakamoto" with a v for vendetta theme or ghost in the shell, i will be your first customer
mircea_popescu: i dunno how cops can manage in that sort of poisonous atmosphere
mircea_popescu: but i do imagine it makes administerting justice in the us fucking impossible.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i dunno why people are so touchy really.
antephialtic: besides, I don't think MP is the one in trouble here. Voorhees, on the other hand ...
mircea_popescu: heh i got confused earlier. " you can make a friendly request, or you can make a legal request" is what i meant
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 i don't see why not. i thought it already is, but more like "he is satoshi nakamoto"
mircea_popescu: to make a legal request you gotta make that legal request. i wouldn't presume to teach teh sec how to do that.
antephialtic: I would actually buy the bitcoin glasses from the newsweek cover
Mats_cd03: Can "I am Satoshi Nakamoto" be a thing?
antephialtic: well, good luck with the SEC business. I suspect it will bring you a lot of attention, releasing those emails has definitely already made some waves.
mircea_popescu: actually come to think of it... i'm like kirk, if the bridge bunnies were actually useful
diametric: I like the ones where you're not actually a person, but a group of individuals pretending to be a guy named Mircea Popescu
mircea_popescu: lol if it weren't a security issue i suppose i could make rings for people
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like to imagine that it covers the cost of a girl etching the new key in a granite plinth
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless i'm mistaken, this counts as buying a new subscription
asciilifeform: i did mention that i tried and it croaked
diametric: I must have misheard you
diametric: asciilifeform: I swore you had told me you couldn't before.
antephialtic: indeed. as long as the price is not obscene, I am willing to pay for convenience without sacrificing security.
asciilifeform: that is, the contrivance i assume everyone here is presently using in lieu of a cardano
asciilifeform: intent is for the product to be priced competitively vs. the state-of-the-art alternative (i.e. the traditional '90s laptop with linux/gpg in ROM)
antephialtic: have multiple machines that I want to sign emails from, some of which are not fully in my control (e.g. workstation owned by employer)
antephialtic: I was recently looking into buying a hardware device for GPG signing and everything on the market looks pretty clunky. I stumbled onto the Cardano, and it seemed pretty well suited to my use case
antephialtic: asciilifeform: when can I buy a cardano?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'pi' needs 5.0v within 5%, if i recall
novusordo: i'm trying to figure out how to power my raspberry pi on 5V to send up in a balloon soon
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i hope they did at least a dozen troll secretions/year
diametric: asciilifeform: realistically I'll be using it for 24V -> 5V, and something around 10-15W without any active cooling
diametric: Ademan: i should join that channel, thanks.
Ademan: diametric: you're not in ##electronics ? Anyways http://www.ttiinc.com/object/Murata-Power-High-Efficiency-Switching-Regulators-LM78xx-Pinouts.html actually *isn't* the one I was thinking of but it's the right idea
mircea_popescu: i didn't know they still bothered
BCB: antephialtic, I'll dig up a link for you.
antephialtic: BCB: no, but I'm going to have a look
[\]: mircea_popescu: I forgot you don't play well in the sandbox.
diametric: I'm just curious, the easiest ones I've seen have been the ti simpler switcher ones, but they're not at all a dropin for a 7805
mircea_popescu: you know, just because i ask for x y z doesn't automatically mean i consider all of these "identification"
moiety: i sreepy, good mew all, whatever your timezone!
benkay: not even gzipping, i'll bet.
benkay: mircea_popescu: may i post a copy of the s.dice contract on my blog?
mircea_popescu: lol i guess so
novusordo: Ademan: i see you're an altcoin design pro
Ademan: novusordo: and I'll create MILFcoin to compete with momcoin
novusordo: so that i can pump both at the same time
Ademan: git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin && cd bitcoin && find -iname '*.h' -print0 -o -iname '*.cpp' -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/[Bb]itcoin/CryptoShekels/g'
novusordo: i'll create momcoin under a different pseudonym, and give it slightly different properties than cryptoshekels
Orion__: i have a tiny little problem and i'm in need of an expert
Ademan: deadweasel: well show me the shell/BTC exchange so I can convert them to something useful for me and sure!
deadweasel: i didn't say shares, tat
kakobrekla: yes well i dont want to do the dishes
Ademan: dexX7: I thought I read an update that stated Q1 back in december
asciilifeform: wait i thought this was ltc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps i misunderstood then
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think his idea was just "offer altcoin betting on bitbet, do alt<>btc conversion for your customers transparently"
kakobrekla: i see only one way
ThickAsThieves: there's mor ethan one way to design such a thing for bitbet, so i could see a bad design being possible
robertmcmillan: Hey Mircea. Sorry not used to this UI. How do I DM you?
diametric: Apparently I'm blind
kakobrekla: well i guess that is another thing you can build on top of bbet, on the fly exchange
diametric: theres ltc bombs if i'm not mistaken
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, i know of this - one time got a new job and forgot to opt out, lost a few bucks into nevernever land
Ademan: I can't wait until the absurd amount of funds on wallstreet join in the price rollercoaster
Ademan: asciilifeform: Well the objectionable part of IP for me is more patent trolling, punishing independent discovery of the same thing, stupidly narrow fair use policies. I'd definitely be ok with an independent institution that tracks initial discoveries, and if the market is willing to pay more for products from them, then great
mircea_popescu: i think your cancer joke is too soon.
benderp: mircea_popescu: i know. kinda why i bring it to the sages.
Shakespeare: <benderp> Shakespeare: what was the slippage on that one? /// I dunno if it'd be fair to assess considering the volatility daily, but I think the sale started about 20% higher than where it ended
dexX7: ah i didn't know that not everything was already released
asciilifeform: but, why should i steal all of the surprises? it's unsportsmanlike.
Ademan: not that I'll give them any money right now though
Ademan: asciilifeform: I was under the impression both the hardware and software are going to be open source
mircea_popescu: i am hereby the first and probably only simpleminded psychotic peace priest.
mircea_popescu: i didn't even know they had an inbox
Shakespeare: SEC isnt run by the devil or whatever, i thought it was run by perverts and sex addicts?
Shakespeare: "and an e-mail sent to a general mailbox at SatochiDice was unanswered." I wonder why!
asciilifeform: ninjashogun: almost certainly not, given that it isn't commercially available last i checked
mircea_popescu: i think marlin was dollar girl
asciilifeform: but the general fact behind the animals described therein is, i believe, well-known.
asciilifeform: esp. if the stake was thick (the 'dracula' chronicle i translated some weeks ago carefully specified 'thick')
mircea_popescu: i know a case of a woman that died through exploded colon because she and her coworker shoved an air compressor outlet in her ass
mircea_popescu: except i'm a fucking briar patch.
benderp: or as I say to my staunchly little-d democratic friends "everything is born, matures, ossifies and dies. governments are no different."
joecool: mircea_popescu: i'm guessing he got embarrassed about his habit and stopped reporting P&L statements when the L was coming from heroin acquisitions
joecool: heh i never read the bitvps story on trilema
Ademan: mircea_popescu: I got a good chuckle out of your correspondence with the SEC, bravo.
ninjashogun: benderp - I would go to monthly billing, it's probably psychologically easier to justify :)
mircea_popescu: i mean, normal people have normal kids, from down syndrome to superclever.
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying it's right or wrong, but how would you know ?
mircea_popescu: maybe they're honestly just trying to understand wtf is going on. i could sorta see if i was in that position i'd go fishing like this. why not.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 well on what basis would i think about it. i have no idea.
ninjashogun: I'll pay your backtax on unseemly behavior (along with my apologies). I have a better grasp of the channel dynamics here.
mircea_popescu: i somehow can pursue bitcoin fraud quite in the open. the sec can not. why not ?
dexX7: what does the sec want with the user data etc.? i'm wondering, if this is about the sale of sd, btc stocks in general or an investigation about some fraud going on etc..
mircea_popescu: i'd be curious in what happens if they fuck a rabbit
moiety: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs17/f/2007/216/d/d/Japanese_Chin_puppy_by_Lena_Lou.jpg i would like one of these, but unsure if actual dog or just cat that can bark
TomServo: or the beginning I should say
TomServo: could be, I wouldn't know
