ozbot: The Moment
A Mississippi TV Station Evacuated For
A Tornado
mircea_popescu: you got
a 70lb chick in the house that cooks with the use of
a hammer and wants beer ?
benkay: told her 'when dinner's actually done then you can have
a beer'
mikaeldice: Are you narrowly defining what
a bitcoin corp is? Taking
a look at the securities forum, it's almost not in use by most of the scams and incompetents there. When there is reporting, it's late and/or incomplete..
mikaeldice: Well, the problem is that things aren't getting done the right way. The system you outline in your website is
a good one, but few people use it.
fluffypony: benkay: they may move things around during the month for operational purposes (change addresses in
a wallet etc.), so moving it into one address is
a very quick operation
mikaeldice: I was thinking more of an open ledger which automatically updates with expenditures from preset addresses. The user adds
a justification, maybe associates an expense account to it
fluffypony: mikaeldice: they could just publish their monthlies and prove they have access to the funds they claim by sending it to
a public address
mikaeldice: I'd like to see bitcoin companies start using
a more transparent accounting system that's more detailed than the blockchain. It wouldn't really cut down on fraud, but it might make the incompetent more noticeable and accountable.
gribble: alexsanjose was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 days, 19 hours, 12 minutes, and 36 seconds ago: <alexsanjose> if you come across in humans in Central America who have bitcoin gambling operations and they want to talk to
a reporter, tell them i dont bite alexandra.alper@thomsonreuters.com
mikaeldice: Nothing new.. I've been wondering for
a while if there is
a better forum than bitcointalk, though.
moiety: i was shown those neokey things
a while ago
mircea_popescu:
a no, gotta wear
a steel collar to be tasting this thing.
mircea_popescu: "- The Yubikey personalization app saves
a .csv logfile with the programmed key values meaning
a malware-based attack may discover the log files on block devices even when the files have been deleted"
thestringpuller: or would that just be
a side-effect of what you're describing
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller actually i would imagine its accuracy is
a linear function of the average length of noncircular paths.
mircea_popescu: this romanian party, was ruling party.
a year or so ago i quit, and quite publicly told them to either bring me the head of the then-president or else there will be no fucking party.
dub: has s.mpif
a blogsplanation?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: jesus google has gotten good meanwhile ?! << haha mircea_popescu has
a love hate relationship with google
benkay: was there
a recursive bitbet recently?
mircea_popescu: i imagine if she did she'd have come back and dropped
a line
mrstickball: odd that he believes that he wants to invest as
a hedge fund but not read up on exchanges..
ozbot: B of
A math error halts dividend increase | America's Markets
mircea_popescu: artifexd fluffing is when
a youngish girl that aspires to one day make money from porn tries her inept damdest to get up the overworked penis of some druggie pronstar guy
fluffypony: I think I was death-0ver0rd on Dalnet for like
a year
mircea_popescu: is this story
a subtle suggestion you've got
a nigger hose ?
fluffypony: so in the wee hours of
a debaucherus night/morning they decided my nick name would be fluffy horse
fluffypony: and they decided to give me
a nick name
fluffypony: at any rate, we went on
a team building weekend away
mrstickball: pretty vague stuff, wondering if its
a ponzi
mircea_popescu: btw, what's the worst time to have
a productive streak ?
mircea_popescu: i know at least
a dozen people who read trilema while travelling. catch up with
a month's worth on an intercontinental flight
Namworld: Seems like
a good reason to not give up then.
pankkake: fluffypony: I'll eventually make
a script to put them on my ereader. maybe I'll read them all then
mircea_popescu: this i personally regard as
a structural and significant improvement over berkshire.
mircea_popescu: anyway : because i actually included pc5 explicitly, the share actually has
a clear mechanism to track nav pretty closely.
mircea_popescu: " It may pay
a dividend during any period I determine this expedient, but there is no promise of monthly dividend (nor does such
a thing make any sense whatsoever, for most companies)."
mircea_popescu: dividends will happen if there's no rational use of capital comensurate with historical gains, so if the thing makes ~10% pa for
a while, and there's no way to beat that, i'd start distributing capital
mircea_popescu: artifexd well substantially, my thinking is that one does not simply kill berkshire, one also makes
a replacement. if one's polite, at least.
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> we are planning on reaching regular folks as well << tbh, as long as you ernestly offer the strong version, nobody can hold it against you that you also offer
a convenient version.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> hey, guys: which is less likely to leak? openssl or gpg? << gpg may still have
a bug or two in there.
artifexd: The code to run
a yubikey server is open source so you, I, or anyone is welcome to swap out the key and run their own server.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> all of
a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party. << welcome to... 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> asciilifeform: i'm talking from
a server end point, i don't have to keep user secret. just public key <<< see, there. that's the value proposition : it allows the operator to say "sorry, fuck you" to the user in terms that are socially acceptable,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> you gotta transport the secret to the user << did i wake up today in
a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ? << no, you woke up in
a parallel universe where microsoft is still
a business model.
fluffypony: it's still
a sight better than "password + birthday = secure password"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform its probable yubikeys have
a master, yes.
moiety: fluffypony: wow what
a shame D;
fluffypony: that's what happens when the beta picks
a fight with the alpha
fluffypony: I don't want to be responsible for
a dead manul
moiety: well, you have
a pack.... shall we experiment?
moiety: nothing is effective against
a manul!
BingoBoingo: just because it hunts lions, doesn't mean it will be effective against
a Manul though.
BingoBoingo: 'They were developed as
a water rescue/lifesaving dog, but according to O. Krasnovskaya, "That was not
a good idea as [they] were not willing to save drowning people, but mostly were looking to bite them so this breed was never developed".'
fluffypony: if you lock
a bunch of dogs on an island
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The basenji is basically
a pariah dog type. What other dogs revert to after uncontrolled breeding. Natural strays.
moiety: the hattori is
a bit more vicious on little wires than i was expecting
moiety: unfortunately not. i tried to frankenstein the usb bit on the end with
a non frayed one. i ended up with more bits than i started with D;
moiety: i tried to rewire
a mouse today, didnt go so well
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Do you worry that maybe your wife might begin to suspect you might be spending all of this time online trying to cheat on her with
a Manul?
mike_c: yeah. definitely
a balancing act with how visible it should be.
mike_c: it would be feasible to have
a webpage showing your balances. that is perhaps not
a good idea for
a market maker though.
jurov: SFI unit holders are entitled to receive dividends indirectly from the Fund's startups which have
a thestringpuller: or just make equal high weight bets on boths sides of
a bit bet...
thestringpuller: Naphex: i can get all three by putting
a gun to the customer's head
Naphex: attacker needs username, password, otp(yubi,gpg), email for approving
a withdrawal
benkay: however being closed does make
a thing impossible to trust.
benkay: so yubi is
a signing thing? what are these yubi servers an implementer talks to?
benkay: artifexd: i don't know enough about the thing. it pretends to be
a keyboard, though? sounds like
a lot of unexaminable dependencies.
artifexd: benkay If the yubikey registers as
a keyboard, how can it access the network?
benkay: all of
a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party.
artifexd: If it makes
a difference, yubikey's internal slots are client writable.
