Mats_cd03: im paying down a place in SLO, CA atm
benkay: i'm testing a strategy for location selection over the next ten years: prefer big network pipe installations and electricity generation sites over pretty much anything. theory being that people with money invested in internet hardware will deploy capital to protect it, need lowly others to run the machines, and provide the armed convoys of food that the big cities won't be enjoying.
keonne: and you cannot say that they are different because social networks too deal with transactions (though of a different kind), and indeed social networks will have a big impact on bitcoin
keonne: I think something along the lines of 'the french dont get it yet, they think its a thing for crooks and money launderers, but not believing in bitcoin is like not beliving in social networks a few years ago
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: You seem. It seems like a language where the vocabulary is statutorally restricted would be especially amenable to machine translation, but practice is different
keonne: my french isnt good, but I am currently in France with a native speaker
Mats_cd03: any french speakers have a clue wat hes actually saying
Mats_cd03: transaction, it is also a mistake.
keonne: "This has been a top priority of the Obama Administration's for the past five years"
BingoBoingo: To be fair the various space weapons treaties and agreements made spaceflight a much more boring prospect
MisterE: true, even a full implosion by either woud be just another meh by now
mike_c: it feels nice to see somebody besides bitcoin getting a public whipping. thanks openssl!
mircea_popescu thinks keonne may be a littrle bit dyslexic :D
bounce: /ignore * CRAP already takes care of it. not a good idea if you're chanop, but if you're not, well, this is freenode. it's full of CRAP.
bounce: a script to ignore joins/parts?
keonne: i could write a script for irrsi i suppose
mircea_popescu: keonne guy used to try and organise a ny central park bitcoin group buy thing.
keonne: well i connect to a shell, and run irssi inside a screen session
dexX7: + a nice landing page
keonne: they even had a logo ready
ThickAsThieves: give an exploit a good name and everyone pays attention
truffles: some1 should nudge him to do a 3rd
truffles: ya he actually spoke a bunch before
keonne: I unignored, perhaps I was a bit too hasty, and the android explination makes sense
truffles: chat rooms are a new concept to some
keonne: so is there like a class of people here who do nothing but connect and disconnect all day and never chat? or am I missing something.
punkman: I've spotted a nice glass elevaror that's begging for it, only goes 5 floors up though
mircea_popescu: now that's a different story :D
keonne: the cunt I was with then was a parasite
keonne: yes i lost my virginity on a beach
mircea_popescu: punkman possibly a normal average bath tub is the worst.
keonne: The point is valid, everyone who’s never tried it before imagines sex in the bushes is a great idea. I know better.
mircea_popescu: (ie, to say "i did sign this but it should not bind me because it's a gpg contract" and to say "i never signed this" are different stands in court)
mircea_popescu: that's repudiation, which is a different matter
dexX7: punkman: but a contract is worthless, if it could be easily forged
punkman: dexX7: a contract is a contract, it doesn't matter what kind of paper you use, or how you scribble your signature
dexX7: do you have any info about real cases were gpg contracts and similar were binding in a legal matter?
truffles: Apocalyptic i didnt think i gave a clear picture of how things went down so ill paste relevant lines
mircea_popescu: this was no coincidence, this has been a) deliberately inserted and b) widely and systematically exploited.
jurov: that' s just a luck
mircea_popescu: a not is enough.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: so as of now there is no direct evidence "look here rpi is fucked" just a general concern over all products on the shelfs << all PROPRIETARY, closed products.
mircea_popescu: o wait, you're banned, i got no pr and gerald hasn't yet enough of a clue to be here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform orlov definitely has a point there. bnw style stratification is a definite future available.
mircea_popescu: trilema looks for two things to find bots : whether you've actually loaded the page you're commenting on (which can throw it for a loop if the page you load gets expired while you try to comment, but this is indeed rare) and whether youve loaded it very recently (like a few seconds sort of recently).
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves obviously it's just a draft, i wouldn't expect to be filmed verbatim.
keonne: mircea_popescu: put in a good word for me
Guest45980: hey guys, do you know a chart of the hashpower of the whole altcoin space?
jurov: i *am* using rpi as a wallet (with electrum), however:
keonne: He has a very deep and masculine voice though.
bounce: asciilifeform: I forgot who mentioned to hook a 10k resistor to a mike in, turn up the gain, and feed that to the entropy pool. how suitable an entropy source is that in your opinion?
dub: damn, if you think of somewhere gribble me, gotta go catch a boat, not sure when ill be back on-grid
dub_: ;;later tell nubbins` whats a trusted canukistani buttcoin shop? hashtag lazyweb
asciilifeform: we don't even know (to this standard of proof) if a pill against rsa requires factoring
kakobrekla: so as of now there is no direct evidence "look here rpi is fucked" just a general concern over all products on the shelfs
kakobrekla: so you are saying diehard will show a nice numbers on rpi as well
asciilifeform: 'diehard' is just a collection of statistical tests
asciilifeform: e.g. a bit in a register that's stuck on
asciilifeform: exercise: encipher a consecutive stream of nulls, with aes, using whatever you want as init vector
asciilifeform: unless the malefactor is dumb as a brick
asciilifeform: no statistical test will reveal a malicious rng
artifexd: I've learned that the raspberry pi has a hardware rng. My current plan is to build use that. I'll Von Neumann it if necessary. Regardless, as soon as I get one, I'll use the tools asciilifeform recommended to measure the entropy.
kakobrekla: a well i might have jumped the gun, nothing particularly interesting except for the fact of recognizing the problem.
ozbot: I am going to build a true random number generator ...
decimation: ascii - secret electronic evidence is a perfect fit for the US confession-based legal system
asciilifeform: will be issued by a computer program, in absentia. In keeping with current practice, both the charge and the evidence will be kept secret. The newly minted felons will be dropped from voter rolls, their passports cancelled, their bank accounts confiscated, and their employment (if any) terminated. They will receive form letters informing them of their sentence but most of them will be unable to read it because
asciilifeform: 'With small businesses and private enterprise made illegal, most people will be forced to resort to illegal activities, under the watchful eye of the NSA. But since putting even more people in jail will be prohibitively expensive, a new, streamlined process of dispensing justice will be put into place: the NSA and the Justice Department will link computer systems, and verdicts of fraud and suspended sentences
decimation: did you use orcad or some free cad to design the board? are you a fan of eagle?
MisterE: it's a bitch
asciilifeform: but it isn't a good use of time
decimation: well, surface mount is a bitch without solder mask
MisterE: component insertion is a bitch
asciilifeform: i used a different house before
asciilifeform: three months sounds like a reasonably safe, pessimistic figure
asciilifeform: decimation: (as i will detail at a later time) i am expecting the supply chain to be fucked with
decimation: you do have a paranoid streak
decimation: ascii surely you aren't going to do all the soldering yourself? are you going to use a production house?
artifexd: Is there a standard test?
decimation: nothing can replace analysis by a human brain
decimation: ascii, of course the bureaucrats love the default to be that everyone is a criminal; you are exempt at their discretion
asciilifeform: i'd be tempted to recommend... mine. but right now i've only a handful of them, and they aren't for sale yet.
artifexd: asciilifeform Can you recommend a reasonably priced hardware rng or an acceptable software rng?
asciilifeform: in fact, taking a laptop on an airplane probably qualifies you for an iternational tribunal as war criminal
asciilifeform: a. One or more than one internal "laser" diode;
asciilifeform: semiconductor and operating at a clock frequency exceeding 40 MHz;
asciilifeform: microcontroller microcircuits, manufactured from a compound
Mats_cd03: sounds like a great way to accelerate inequality and increase renting
decimation: perhaps the system will be formalized in the future, when rich socialites will pay to have a position in Google, like the British Army
decimation: why does she have to living in the middle of SV? So that Elon can get a burrito for $6?
decimation: This "U visa" amuses me. Someone foriegner commits a crime - and that suddenly qualifies the victem for a US green card??
ThickAsThieves: your blog thinks i am not a human being
ThickAsThieves: i do like the mood of it, though the more "adult" aspects feel a little out of place
mike_c: half the btc and double the numismaticness. sounds like a deal!
danielpbarron: i sent a test transaction of 1 mBit and it showed up no problem, so i sent the original transaction again
danielpbarron: i accidently double sent a transaction, luckily to someone I knew irl
danielpbarron: it's more annoying to not have the paper than to be ripped off for a little coin
danielpbarron: i had to hack it a little to make it stop printing the ugly extra private key and url at the bottom
danielpbarron: i have since ordered some more rolls of paper and I also have not recieved a confirmation email or shipment
danielpbarron: i have a piper
asciilifeform: partial countermeasure. like a rifle, it only works if fired.
