decimation: one could use a commercial tool and hack it, but it would be neat if there were a tool that took into account gate delays etc.
asciilifeform: decimation: VHDL to a 7400 TTL netlist << certainly. i think brad parker (author of CADR, symbolics, and TI LM emulators) had a widget that does just this.
nubbins`: Phinnaeus: a dedicated client can also highlight lines with your nickname, play a sound when you're mentioned, etc
nubbins`: peterl, hang around me and you'll learn a few new things every day
Phinnaeus: I guess after a few more sessions here, I'll get up to speed as to how to use this IRC thingie.
assbot: A (Relatively Easy To Understand) Primer on Elliptic Curve Cryptography | CloudFlare Blog
mike_c: http://blog.cloudflare.com/a-relatively-easy-to-understand-primer-on-elliptic-curve-cryptography
mike_c: i hate cloudflare as much as everyone, but this is actually a really useful primer on RSA and EC if you are new to the details of how they work:
BingoBoingo: Phinnaeus: X chat may be a good client to try then
moiety: they are really handy once youve had a wee click about. it's all straightforward nick and pass stuff
Phinnaeus: I'm a noob when it comes to all this client stuff
Phinnaeus: ...while you're taking a shit...literally!
nubbins`: i've done some business with goat, nice enough guy, seems a bit scatterbrained
Phinnaeus: Question: I met Goat in KC last year. Is he a good guy?
Phinnaeus: I was surprised to see that Mircea was banned on BT a while back.
BingoBoingo: Thing is native to parts of Illinois, but there is a lack of evidence it was ever native to place I passed it, but "reintroducing species" and shit like that
moiety: that is not a turtle, that thing is from game of thrones or something
Vexual: that thing is cooler than a goat on something
moiety: i made a quick how-to in the wiki on the homepage too Phinnaeus in case thats of any help
mike_c: Phinnaeus: bingo linked you to a good post on the point of it all earlier. worth reading if you're thinking of hanging out here: http://trilema.com/2014/bitcoin-assets-m/
moiety: BingoBoingo: re: goat on a cliff. "If you squint just right you can see how it got there" lolol
Phinnaeus: Remember, I'm the Bitcoiner that doesn't mine, nor host a client. And, trust InstaWallet with my 1,132 BTC of which davout (staff of BT) now has in one of his fat-ass wallets.
BingoBoingo: Phinnaeus: Well, it is a huge convenience thing.
Phinnaeus: Just sent you a PM
BingoBoingo: Phinnaeus: You can register a GPG key or BTC address with gribble
BingoBoingo: Brock Pierce is a fucking chomo
Phinnaeus: I'm curious as to when Micrea had that pic taken where he's in front of the pyramid on a horse.
gribble: #bitcoin-assets +m pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/2014/bitcoin-assets-m/>; A virtual socioeconomic problem pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea ...: <http://trilema.com/2014/a-virtual-socioeconomic-problem/>; The elitism memory hole effect pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea ...: <http://trilema.com/2014/the-elitism-memory-hole-effect/>
Phinnaeus: what the heck is a bot herder
BingoBoingo: OMG AJAX is a scammer!
Phinnaeus: Now, go here and read the last few tweets (will only take a sec): https://twitter.com/sboj
BingoBoingo: Phinnaeus: Anyways this channel has a log, and a bash and other shit
assbot: #bitcoin-assets | You cannot stop the clouds by the building of a ship.
Phinnaeus: Boy, I think I just figured out that assbot is not a real person.
Phinnaeus: Does the name Florian Gasquez ring a bell for anybody here?
BingoBoingo: Phinnaeus: I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few are
BingoBoingo: Phinnaeus: I've moved away from the forum in favor of it after having only a few hours playing with it previously
Phinnaeus: it's been a while since I've used IRC.
BingoBoingo: So. Meterologists are supposing a derechero is possible here in 7-12 hours. If I go silent after that time for a while cause is more likely power outage than rectotherm.
Vexual: usagi hotwallet method:to a hot array of failing hard disks is added a bitcoin wallet, and all backups. Hotter coffee is added splashwise until the hot wallet becomes cold.
decimation: asciilifeform: do you think it's possible to synthesize VHDL to a 7400 TTL netlist?
peterl: it seemed like a nice idea
asciilifeform: line between a marketer and a spammer << 'cold-caller' is a spammer, period.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You also have to understand. Of the relatively early Bitcoiners MP is practically a saint.
asciilifeform: damn, i was hoping it was a cruel lie.
mike_c: line between a marketer and a spammer is thin.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, moiety: i didn't know vorhees might've been a spammer. is the accusation true?
mike_c: damn, jd had a good day.
asciilifeform: conclusion, is, inescapably, that google sucks. but this isn't a discovery.
asciilifeform: surely i'm not the only person to post a picture of dec alpha.
asciilifeform: and then had a colleague look up 'dec alpha' machine, in same search, and he got... an old post of mine.
bloctoc: there was a cap of 21 million btc back then
bloctoc: with a 100 Million BTC valuation?
bloctoc: what? I'm a great guy!
bloctoc: A number of Bitcoin enthusiasts have been drawn to trading in shares of virtual currency companies, or other financial instruments such as Bitcoin derivatives, traded in Bitcoin on unregulated websites. MPex, the Romanian exchange where SatoshiDice used to trade, currently lists four stocks, one fund and five derivatives for trading.
nubbins`: it's more a case of not being interested in supporting a paywall
bloctoc: Financial Times has a paragraph today on mpex, alongside the SEC story on Erik Vorhees.
BingoBoingo: This was a crowd of the sort where "technology"=="social media"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, the VM's name was one of the library school classes, so maybe I did the loosening during a presentation in a technology class.
asciilifeform: moiety: no clue. got mine on ebay a few yrs back for about 100 usd
moiety: asciilifeform: what should a microwriter cost now (approx)?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I remember that time quite a while back when, maybe it was accident on your part, but you loosened the anus's of the various Apple Occultists with your hypercard post.
moiety: BingoBoingo: not really, I don't think thailand for a fortnight, hopping from aircon to aircon counts lol
bitcoinpete: not saying it's much of a benefit… just non-zero
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened. ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: taking joy in having 'strong social media presence' would be rather like rejoicing in living next to a swamp, to have 'strong mosquito presence'
asciilifeform: moiety: the emulator is a very ragged toy. the actual gadget works considerably better.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'd assume so as well. Probably also a reception party.
asciilifeform: i'd assume that a 'mule' gets an (unarmed) 'helper,' who ensures that he can't cough up the payload ahead of schedule.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Assuming they don't want library books... Probably going to get drafted as a drug mule.
moiety: here, booze sweat is just a beer jacket: keeps you warm but it's not warm enough to sweat
asciilifeform: however, the reason why it is customary to sit a captured wretch on an anthill, or the like, without first inquiring about his assets, is that in such a situation the definition of 'assets' expands to everything the victim could potentially beg/borrow/steal ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll have to manage to keep a thick stench of cigarettes and booze sweat through the Darien.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There was this Simpsons episode back in the day where it was revealed the elderly hero had the gift of immortality to the sheer number of terminal diseases he had forming a sort of homeostasis sustaining him.
asciilifeform: think of how funny it'd be, setting up elaborate dead man switch, then captured by a fellow who just wants to sell your organs.
asciilifeform automatically recalls an ancient sf story about a very unlucky immortal fellow, who goes from dungeon to dungeon, ending up at torquemada's, the gestapo, on and on...
asciilifeform: there's definitely room for a 'dead hand' service/product.
BingoBoingo: You die, coins go to party inquisitor finds despicable. Simply hope the CIA isn't a frenemy of theirs and wants to fund them.
asciilifeform: i'll point out that it helps to have a clear picture of what your objective will be once you're hanging upside-down in torquemada's workshop.
asciilifeform: (if you actually want to do this: have multiple allies, shamir-split a key, then set 'dead man switch' that broadcasts the magic tx if you fail to reset it for x days, etc)
asciilifeform: actually, one possible technological countermeasure is: to carry around some gizmo that will transmit a transaction moving your coin to a trusted confederate, when the pin is pulled.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Tooth must be dangerously fragile though, so one can have a standoff end with a swift movement of the tongue.
asciilifeform: a successfully 'mined' brainwallet is... a failed iq test.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No reason physical key of last resort need be within a hundred miles of anywhere you live or frequent
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Seems that way. I dunno why properly concealed physically stored private key could not be a viable option for the post-rectothermal healthcare fund.
asciilifeform: (which, if read literally, amount to a 'what not to do')
BingoBoingo: Any thing physical I may or may not do with individual private keys would probably be part of a rats nest strategy to avoid ever being completely robbed.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm not too sure about it either. I like the idea that they mean an intruder would have to scour my junk in addition to the computing and electronic equipment. People who pay for manufactered solutions and their reasoning elludes me. Maybe the husk of a Cascius has some collectible value?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not if you carve in a shorthand
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, jurov: stone megalith wallet << if you buy a laser cutter, you can make actual stone wallet.
asciilifeform: if they actually fit a python in 2kb, that's pretty neat.
asciilifeform: the python linked earlier (diametric?) isn't a proper python, where the interpreter is available at run time, but, as i understand, a simple batch-mode compiler.
asciilifeform: lisp on a microcontroller that isn't optimized for high-level languages (a la the greenarrays forth chip) isn't much fun. it's like going back to the mid-80s, when microcomputer owners justifiably scoffed at 'slow' languages
asciilifeform: jurov: clisp builds on arm. but sbcl doesn't (the latter has no interpreter mode, it has a high quality optimizing - real time - compiler on x86 and a few other archs.)
asciilifeform: (a 'traditional' micro has a few kb of ram)
asciilifeform: jurov: i've a small collection of various cheapo 'arm' boards, just like everyone. the 'pi' collects dust. did recently get openbsd running on another one (beagle?) recently.
BingoBoingo: jurov: Also who said anything about wallet being a machine?
BingoBoingo: jurov: One possibility. Other is maybe a controlled form of lost
jurov: Tiny machines are to easy to lose. << your btc wallet is a semitrailer i guess?
BingoBoingo: If Pi wasn't ARM, it might be a decent upgrade for a compact Mac case, but not much else
