ThickAsThieves: i offered to help, but didnt realize how rusty my drawing skills are
ThickAsThieves: ThickAsThieves, what's the deadline for this /// hrm, faster the better, if i can't get it in a couple days I'll just go with a typographic design
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd say only worth drinking if you're not drunk
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i take it you don't do much in the way of the club scene huh
mircea_popescu: i guess the min cost to troll the monitors would be ~1.5k

jurov: i suspected there's something amiss.. but have not enough coffeine in the blood yet
mircea_popescu: nevertheless... i cant keep reading this
mircea_popescu: sorry, i generally agree with his point that people overuse random for no good reason, and that entropy isn't readily understood by the average coder,
mircea_popescu: jurov well here we go "I believe that the “gold standard” for “true randomness” are quantum effects."
benkay: i hate to reproduce hn links, but this lil gem has burst a laugh or two from me: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1403_02-08_mickens.pdf
Mats_cd03: and by 'no compile' i mean JIT
Mats_cd03: i guess you could conceivably evade an amateur with a packet sniffer and no debugging skills
dexX7: anti detection, i guess?
dexX7: i didn't debug, simply run and watch (+ log processes))
dexX7: i run the .exe and it created a TibanneSocket.exe + revsecurity.dll file, but no cleanme.bat
dignork: well, the data looks real, but useless mostly. BTC transactions seem to be legit, but currently I can't find any use for them.
dignork: oh, wow, retract my last comment, I just looked into zip, they have a Mac version too, coded in LiveCode, neat.
Mats_cd03: better than vb6 i suppose
dexX7: the guy says "It was created in LiveCode, a tool for easy GUI programming, which actually stores a copy of the code encrypted inside of the executable. I essentially just used a debugger and traced through till I found the code in memory and dumped the section, copying and pasting the interesting parts into this post."
diametric: I always know theres something else I'm forgetting.
diametric: i can never seem to complete an order on digikey.
moiety: i want to add an animal hat pic to his wiki
mircea_popescu: i recall reading that story somewhere
mircea_popescu: i thought he was romanian
dexX7: but i was curious, this one gives a good explaination: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22140204/why-md5240610708-is-equal-to-md5qnkcdzo
kakobrekla: i dont see bouncy balls
moiety: i found bingo's spiritual dog http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/09/hair-of-the-dog-miracle-vodka-cure-saves-puppy-from-certain-death-4494150/
moiety: http://i.imgur.com/I9XgLMN.jpg honesty the best policy?!
moiety: i get probed every now and then, i guess its to be expected
moiety: i hadnt realised openex was hacked a fortnight ago
moiety: i think to check to see if i can contact TF
Namworld: I had to help with BitVPS which RG just abandoned like that. Buy servers and everything. Stuff like that. Losses vs just holding.
Namworld: I might be close to achieving that back tho.
Namworld: Well i started with 900 BTC in early 2012. Lost most. Definitly don't have that much.
Namworld: Although I definitly made some money afterward.
Namworld: Considering the first thing I did was lend over 700 BTC to a GPU miner thinking it was just 7 grand and the current price per BTC, I'm not close of having positive earnings on average per year.
mircea_popescu: normally i'd say "i wish to meet that elated 1% of bitcoin financiers which actually make 2% a year", but i think i already have.
Namworld: I'm about 175 BTC in debt and I'm richer than him still.
peterl: "privately placed" does that mean "I just made up whatever numbers I want"?
dexX7: i think he indeed sold quite a few shares
peterl: I think it was all privately done, so there is no way to actually track what he says
mircea_popescu: that's what threw me, cause i had no recollection of the entire thing
mircea_popescu: dexX7 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283947.msg3650952#msg3650952 how come i have not that log ?
mircea_popescu: i think he spends some time as a princess in a special happy place
benkay: it's not my shopping list - i don't do the shopping, moiety.
moiety: i wondered wherehe disappeared to
Diablo-D3: I noticed he quit bothering me
Diablo-D3: I thought he ragequit
moiety: i need to food actually
moiety: I'm well ty mircea_popescu :) had some interesting times past couple days. how are you?
mircea_popescu: before you know it he'll be going "i stake my professional reputation !!eleven behind making this thing i read on trilema two weeks ago happen!" like that other douche
dexX7: yea, i guess
Duffer1: i wish he would hang out in here more
Namworld: Pirates, okay, but I didn't know there was Ponzi doctors too.
mircea_popescu: actually i think that works in russian too
peterl: how did he get the name Dr. Foreskin? Or do I want to know?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i doubt there's much overlap in demographics.
peterl: I've never used ICBIT, is it any good?
mircea_popescu: let the record reflect that i'm working on a foot long baba ghanoush sub
KRS-One: i still can't believe this is happening... mtgox hacked.. all leaked.. karpeles blog, his reddit account
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu random thought: i wonder if the halt in options trading on MPEX will result in a lot of people flocking to ICBIT...kind of a scary thought...
dexX7: sssh shh i want to hear teh sec gossip
thestringpuller: dexX7: I'm pretty sure mircea_popescu has female assassin ninjas guarding the mpex keyring
dexX7: i think it's your obligation to be transparent on such incidents. who knows, maybe they have backend access to mpex now :p
mircea_popescu: trying to do their job, i guess.
mircea_popescu: "The SEC does not actively monitor this thread, I have two friends that are attorneys for the Commission, and their interns have much better things to do than passive monitoring. "
mircea_popescu: i am fully confident it's ignorance rather than some nefarious anything at work
asciilifeform: but i'll be surprised if this surprises anyone.
mircea_popescu: dude, if i could explain to you the why of people doing stupid shit...
bitcoinpete: I can't quite keep up with mircea_popescu's torrential blogging, but that doesn't mean I won't try.
mircea_popescu: that aside, i very much doubt vessy is stepping down to the bitter end.
mircea_popescu: i love all the pretense tho, "my personal and professional reputation" apparently is the new stock phrase of the chump.
mircea_popescu: "o i know, brilliant idea : i will try and frontrun mp!11"
dexX7: "To the chagrin of the less confrontational, I plan to attack. And in putting my personal and professional reputation on the line, I will attack ruthlessly, from the front, and (figuratively) shoot to kill. By Monday, I expect that either: a) Vessenes and Matonis resign gracefully from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, ..."
dexX7: oh well, this 2 bit idiot: http://two-bit-idiot.tumblr.com/post/79070783038/concession "I’m not going to bury the lead; I am not publishing the article tomorrow that I said I was going to on Friday. In fact, I never intended to ..."
mircea_popescu: this is the 80s, back when people using bitcoin i mean email were considered at the very least a little by the guys who generally know everything better
