mircea_popescu: Chillum i was thinking, get the naked ladies to do specials.
mircea_popescu: Chillum i've been trying to shoehorn random people into doing it since... omgerd 2013.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes he basically wants trilema credits for whatever.
mircea_popescu: Chillum completely unrelated : do you have any fucking idea how desired a bitcoin host is here ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not so easy and quite expensive, which is why alternatives are always tempting. but go on ?
mircea_popescu: an airgap is merely a golden standard BECAUSE it disallows automation. there's ipso definitio no automated airgap.
mircea_popescu: Chillum not to pry into your soul here, but mind describing the cause of the need for automation ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it'd be one way nah ? from his wallet to the node. not the other way.
mircea_popescu: firewalls are finnicy to setup, but once correctly setup on a linux box they're reliable.
mircea_popescu: the number of random people trying random things will exponential
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes dunno how best implemented, but he raises a good point we're prone to neglect : as exposure increases, which it necessarily will,
mircea_popescu: Chillum : better plan, sign your txn off the hot box, import them there through private connection.
mircea_popescu: mod6 ben_vulpes you think some warnings should be brewed maybe ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this may or may not be true, upon contemplation.
mircea_popescu: Chillum yeah. like, you know, how the bitcoin wallets were plaintext for... i dunno, 3years or so.
mircea_popescu: not like there's any rush. and generally, the stuff you're used to worrying about holds no sway here. so.. .jus relax an' enjoy.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski and read their own dbs and advanced shit like that!
mircea_popescu: Hope you are doing well. I am a client services manager here at AdMedia. I was wondering if there might be a possible partnership opportunity between our two companies. We have previously and recently ran campaigns for trilema.com via third party networks. We wanted to discuss the opportunity of working directly
mircea_popescu: single machine paradigm is flawed for this application.
mircea_popescu: whoever wants them can put them in, like you say above.
mircea_popescu: and whatever customers may "have come to expect", bitcoin is too valuable to cater to that in breach of security and safety. so, options that are by their nature insecure shouldn't be provided at all.
mircea_popescu: that idiocy was easily excusable in 2009. meanwhile, we just don't do that.
mircea_popescu: Chillum generally, the idea being that running a wallet client and a bitcoin node on the same system (let alone in the same program) is beyond idiotic.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski is that actually the guy ? who even made mycellium ?
mircea_popescu: Chillum the problem is we know ssl to be intentionally misimplemented. as you say, on layers.
mircea_popescu: Chillum and also make your own implementation, to not depend on "implementation errors" ?
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ ssl is for any application where security theatre is +ev and security itself doesn't matter.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes he's not from reddit, he's from wikipedia. pls to not insult teh muggles with misidentification.
mircea_popescu: i don't think that's a supported usecase as of yet ? mebbe i'm behind here.
mircea_popescu: Chillum have you seen the numerous cases where we pass back and forth "plaintext" over pastebin here ?
mircea_popescu: offending people is required to participate here i thought.
mircea_popescu: but a debate doesn't become religious by declaratory relief from having to think about it.
mircea_popescu: Chillum definitely can run whatever the heck you please.
mircea_popescu: get it to any other standard, you'll do as bad as all the schmucks on windows
mircea_popescu: Chillum just all the ones you should practically care about.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ incidentally, about 5x better than sending someone to go listen to something is transcribing the something so they can read it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you wrote the meta-nsa micromanagement three ring binder too ?
mircea_popescu: "ssl will stop all but the actual attacks you will encounter"
mircea_popescu: maybe it just doesn't look like what you expect is iall.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't you use to bemoan the fact that "no valued crypto stuff is ever leaked" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, is the "valued crypto" bit starting to fuzz over there ?
mircea_popescu: "an implementation failure" ? the time we took out usg's most valuable asset and publicly shot it in the head was "an implementation failure" "?
mircea_popescu: Chillum but they do in fact ALL accept verisign master keys.
mircea_popescu: with the advent of bitcoins, things have changed. a stolen bitcoin is a stolen bitcoin no matter how the theft was perpetuated, or under what color of law.
mircea_popescu: now, this entire "yeah the usg is your main enemy but whatever, you don't really want to protect your fucking tweets from them anyway" worked to propose turdstack = pancake.
mircea_popescu: security solutions that avoid this point are exercises in disinfo.
mircea_popescu: in most practical scenarios, the only enemy any user will ever encounter is the usg.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, you're just passing (to yourself, at least) groupthink as oppinions.
