mircea_popescu: at which the leader goes "Yo! Alifie! come over we got one."
mircea_popescu: listen dude, you're getting fucked whbether you want to or not. it's a fact. the only questrion to you is, if you want to do it with alifie or without.
mircea_popescu: they struggle a little, he's taken to the ground, at which point the leader of the pack goes
mircea_popescu: guy walking through street at night. suddenly, jumped by some burly dudes.
mircea_popescu: dun worry sir whiteknight, b-a brings the best out in everyone.
mircea_popescu: (if you read teh trilematograph heading you prolly know i've been working on a very similar question)
mircea_popescu: originally, it was actually max hardcore i think. after that, it was mostly bangbros.
mircea_popescu: anywya, i have deepthroat right here, it's... ungreat.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller if you want to talk "women in tech" it really starts with noether.
mircea_popescu waves @ Patrick Merck, who realised all this shit too late and ran off through the wall.
mircea_popescu: (and by "too expensive to be useful" i don't mean anything but, for every btc in gains it makes us, it gives that terrorist we shall not name 10 to 100 btc worth of ammo)
mircea_popescu: because whatever, i'm going to hang them anyway, and usg isn't going to hang them no matter what, so that leaves a space in the middle.
mircea_popescu: pretending now that hey, "they are publishing reports". of the new entity.
mircea_popescu: which pretty much brings us to 2014, when the thing became too expensive to be useful, so it had to run out of usg jurisdiction (went to uk)
mircea_popescu: except no worthy goals were willing to work with them, and so moved to "default worthy goal" = pay gavin a salary.
mircea_popescu: once got called out on that, shed some bits (coinlab, anyone recall that ?) and moved to "worthy goals" (stioll not releasing any reports, because vessenes, like all clueless idiots involved, thinks taint is a thing, and also thinks i don't know his addresses, because whatever, he's magically protected by nulandine)
mircea_popescu: but no, the two got merged late. originally, foundation was transparent scam to syphon and repurpose bitcoins to prop up "vc entreprises".
mircea_popescu: well perhaps the discussion of which lice spawned what scorpion is not directly interesting to engineers, being more in the vein of politics and law. so i guess you actually have a fine aproximation.
mircea_popescu: anyway, gavin showed up pretty quick o nthe original lists. to no one's suprirse, nsa does read the stuff, as amply documented.
mircea_popescu: which will be buried too, but... still. you don't kill ticks by breaking the bellies.
mircea_popescu: once they didn't get away with simply stealing that, they made coindesk.
mircea_popescu: it's exactly like "Bitcoin magazine", meanwhile buried.
mircea_popescu: fake foundation's just a pressed shitbullet, they made it, getting rid of it won't get rid of the problem.
mircea_popescu: you for some reason seem to think scam foundation and bitcoin are cogenerational. this is about as true as saying you and your mom were born the same week
mircea_popescu: alf trying to scam me in argument! "oh, bitcoind works. i think so because i don't use it because it doesn't"
mircea_popescu: or, closer to what you want, "then send it all to one address". see with own eyes.
mircea_popescu: this is the golden standard for testing txn generators.
mircea_popescu: (split it to three addresses, then feed one by two for a while)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field anyway, if you're curious, do a braid on a bitcoin then see what happens.
mircea_popescu: (honestly i've not really looked what they've been doing with it since 7ish)
mircea_popescu: the hard problems of bitcoin are still untouched since six yyears ago when satoshi saw them and ran screaming.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the fucktards are busy "innovating" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field not only that. the txn making is dust-agnostic. instead of optimizing to not create too small chunks, it just does whatever.
mircea_popescu: just, the owners still think they own the dust they can't actually send anywhere.
mircea_popescu: i would guess more bitcoin has been loist to nanodusting than to outright laptop-in-garbage dump incidents
mircea_popescu: but once the average per address is under 0.0001... just you see quadratics then
mircea_popescu: and people fail to think how important this is, because atm relatively few addresses (if you divide total btc to total addresses you get a .x ish average)
mircea_popescu: rather than this sort of stuff. it's about 100x easier, given the sad state of bitcoind
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a reason wallet theft consisted of stealing the (plaintext) wallet file
mircea_popescu: "hey everyone since i installed alfbitcoin my system has been doing 100% cpu"
mircea_popescu: if you imagine this "sum of unspent coin" symbol is defined...
mircea_popescu: whatever it may say, fuck you and a heap of error: {"code":-4,"message":"Transaction creation failed"}
mircea_popescu: and your "poc" that "sends whole wallet" is going to run into some fucking lulzy problems once it gets implemented,
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you know im not proposing quinine solves gout over here.
mircea_popescu: if wallet is encrypted in useralnd, then it's read by gpg
mircea_popescu: look, you're spewing nonsense. think in simple terms : if wallet is encrypted by program using it, then it can be read by program using it, and kernel.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes don't forget to encrypt your privkey ring with gpg too
mircea_popescu: (and i'm not entirely sure that encryption's worth jack shit, by the way, if someone feels like reading it)
mircea_popescu: (mp fondly remembers how he's one of the... one guy that hit the power rangers over the head until they finally put encryption into wallets. which, prior to mid 2012, were plaintext)
mircea_popescu: it's a total fucking pain when stuff like, payout of the bfl bitbet happens
