decimation: I wish they would release the firmware code
asciilifeform: i see nothing remarkable in this document.
decimation: I would give apple credit, they are a cut above the usual silicon valley crowd security-wise
decimation: asciilifeform I assume you saw the ios security document?
nubbins`: but i wouldn't sell mine for that low
nubbins`: i've seen some sellers offer 2013 0.5btc brass for 0.69
benkay: maybe instead of etching, i'll buy a small mill
benkay: sometime this year i hope to have an etching process up
nubbins`: i'm not sure if blanks come with paper
ThickAsThieves: i trust my mom could keep a coin safe, a bitcoin however
asciilifeform: i have very little interest in the subject of casascius in particular, but in general i like the idea of 'blowing' systems that make false promises of security.
ThickAsThieves: i'm not interested in them as a foolproof secure storage
ThickAsThieves: i recall you talking on the topic before
asciilifeform: not what i had in mind at all (if you want to know what, read the channel logs, no reason to repeat)
asciilifeform: if i recall, the current state-of-the-art involves a careful removal and replacement of the hologram
ThickAsThieves: it's been done at hacker conferences and/or in a blog post I believe
asciilifeform: i'm reasonably certain that it is possible to do so, but have no wish to steal from anyone.
benkay: unless of course i'm as usual missing an important part of the situation
twizt: i told him i only trade penis coin for vagina coin LOL
BingoBoingo: So far their winddown doesn't seem scammy. I managed to get my coins out. It's also likely that running the thing just was too much of a hassle. Then again, it could get really scammy.
benkay: "Its very bad news why are you going to do this I am very upset need to rethink about this"
ughlol: I'll come back on this chan when I have the app ready and runny, and then make fun of benkay! (Just kidding).
HowardF: indeed... just a few tweaks and i actually think you have a workable idea.
ughlol: I will do that..
ughlol: haha, I wish to make an investment from my social network and leave the USP to actually help rape victims.
Azelphur: at the very least you can help some people after the fact, I'd think
Azelphur: but I'm crazy. xD
Azelphur: I tend to aim at $0 initial when I'm making new things
HowardF: i think you're just in the wrong room to discuss this particular project
ughlol: HowardF: yes, thats another great idea. Wow. I love discussing this here! :D The lawyer idea.. amazing. Thanks. *Noted*
Azelphur: ughlol: see what I'm saying? Starting up on $20 isn't hard ;)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Legality wise I'm sure I could just say the book is part of the "Enhanced Reality game Bitcoin" like Micon does
ThickAsThieves: i dont see how it can make money
Azelphur: there's another host that is even cheaper, I just can't remember its name off the top of my head
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The biggest obstacle I'd face putting together a book, especially a BTC one would be getting lines and bettors on those lines such that I could make vig intsead of propping up the otherside of every line.
ughlol: Azelphur: link me? I'll buy it right now..?
Azelphur: I probably still have the chat logs from that somewhere, haha
Azelphur: I had to go to the host and specifically request a 32MB VPS, they didn't sell them, and the host actually told me I was crazy and that I couldn't even get the OS to run in that. But I did, and everything else I needed :)
ughlol: but yes, I wont argue anymore considering that there is no profit in the idea.
Azelphur: ughlol: no, but it can pay for like 4 months of VPS service, which is what I did.
ughlol: (assuming i coded the app on my own)
Azelphur: here's what I have now, just to contrast. http://i.imgur.com/YOuK4UK.jpg :)
ughlol: I agree. I'm currently working on the prototype.
HowardF: i would say working on a prototype before asking anyone for an investment is top priority though. money for ideas doesn't happen without something to back it up
ughlol: I myself am a developer and security consultant.
ughlol: I doubt Azelphur.
Azelphur: I started on $20 and a computer I built from shit in a skip
Azelphur: ughlol: dowhat...I built fuckloads of shit
benkay: those are things that i'll buy might have a shot at changing a rape event's outcome
ughlol: I'll prove you wrong.
Azelphur: ughlol: that's the thing, I can't even think of any situation where this app would work, at all
ughlol: i want to make it.
HowardF: based on the assumption someone is being raped / hurt, i imagine it only has to be accurate enough to get within earshot of someone screaming
Azelphur: best case scenario to get to the destination is 10 minutes I'd say, even if it was just around the corner
ughlol: I think GPS should do the trick.
HowardF: i would look for / seek out help from organizations that already deal with rape and rape victims. there are lots, and they would be a good place to start
ughlol: ah, i see Azelphur
Azelphur: I was talking about accidentally clicking an advert during a crisis situation
Azelphur: ughlol: getting more useless, also re-read what I said, that's not what I suggested.
HowardF: donations / non-profit status is the only path i could see, but done correctly, that could certianly be a viable option
Azelphur: benkay: I think we already established that it won't
Azelphur: yea, that's why I think an alarm would be better, that at least gets the attention of people around you
ughlol: i see
benkay: no i mean that you can't use flappy bird as an example of how much money you'll make, ughlol.
ughlol: HowardF: I agree.
ughlol: Azelphur: I believe profit can be integrated. If not ads, there are probably other ways.
ughlol: India is my prime target. I've seen a video that literally made me tear. I would link you, but it is in Hindi..
Azelphur: but, there's no profit in i
Azelphur: yea, I like the idea, there's lots of things that could be done (alarm, contract nearby, just like he says)
ughlol: punkman: haha, i doubt i can afford drones. Cant afford a 2nd hand server.
HowardF: i still think there are places and countries where this wouldn't be a bad idea though. india, but also large areas of africa, etc.
ughlol: HowardF: oh, then I am mistaken.
ughlol: TomServo: I was thinking of having people register as helpers. People that have reputation, whose identity we can verify.
ughlol: I think a social network can make similar amounts
HowardF: i like the idea, but see any kind of profit unlikely. however asking for donations rather than investments may get you somewhere...
ughlol: I feel pathetic about the condition of girls in my country (India)
Azelphur: I see
ThickAsThieves: i see that casascius sells blanks, but do people sell sticker printing kits? ☟︎
ThickAsThieves: i see bitstamp isnt invited to the blockchain.info hot to buy page
ughlol: mircea_popescu: mind if I pm?
nubbins`: i fuckin DARE ya to stack seven coins like that.
nubbins`: i wonder what planet the person who did that rendering is from
dexX7: i'd be interested in something that could log any usage ofthis backdoor
thestringpuller: Apocalyptic: if that were the case I would pay everyone under minimum wage until they stop complaining about not being able to do their job
Apocalyptic: thestringpuller, you get what you pay for I guess
dub: helps to click links I guess
thestringpuller: fucking 22 year olds I hire can't do shit
thestringpuller: I'm 26 and feel like I'm going on 60
thestringpuller: "I hate doing actual work I just want experiences and want to be free and feel fulfilled without any effort.:
benkay: while making dinner with a babe is a wonderful, potentially very sexy experience, i expect dishes on the dinner table.
ThickAsThieves: i guarantee she can't cook either
benkay: it's never to late to snag one, i guess.
ThickAsThieves: i imagine her personality to be much like Lena Dunham's character on Girls
ThickAsThieves: i'd bet no
dexX7: http://i.imgur.com/h3y9VSe.jpg hehe
dexX7: but i don't believe she'll stop ;)
ThickAsThieves: i know that's a generalization
ThickAsThieves: fuckit i ignant
ThickAsThieves: i cant come up with a choice analogy for btctalk, but I'd say Idiocracy is close
mike_c: i need a quick little pile of atc. can anybody sell me 1k atc @ 200 satoshis per?
