mike_c: it is a countermeasure for rectothermal cryptoanalysis.
asciilifeform: jborkl: a special little gift for folks who want to take your keys by force.
jborkl: what is a scram zapper?
asciilifeform: mike_c: no need to disassemble. it comes in a clear chassis, with blueprints/sources
mike_c: open a textbook and pick your favourite... << or wait a month and disassemble a cardano.
asciilifeform: beat it out << this is why any apparatus that doesn't include a scram zapper is sad.
jborkl: unless I beat it out of you, but that is a whole other story
mircea_popescu: whilke this approach often creates half-decent "art" (known in this space as lulz) it neve actually makes a bridge.
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ the more formal objection would be that you're trying to construct a bridge through the process of "here are some bricks i found, i wonder which cool way i could stack them together"
asciilifeform: mike_c: you (and anyone) also have access to analogue rng. open a textbook and pick your favourite...
asciilifeform: how long does it take to move a sliding window across 'gutenberg' archive and bruteforce.
cgcardona_: i figured just putting all of my btc behind a 'hello w0rld' brain wallet would be good to go
jborkl: why not pull a brainwallet, put it on a pi and make your wallet out of a bible verse. They are everywhere and you only have to remember what you part you put in
asciilifeform: this is not a heroic feat
asciilifeform: burn it with a butane lighter when finished.
cgcardona_: now i know why it's taking so damn long. THEY'RE SETTING UP A THERMAL CAMERA ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE
asciilifeform: and a 'piper'
cgcardona_: easier than https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/ which involves me having a dedicaded computer and printer
asciilifeform: anyone here own a 'FLIR' scope?
cgcardona_: i think it's a sweet concept
kakobrekla: you dont need a bitcoind on a pi
jborkl: but I would not put my wallet on a pi either?
jborkl: it would be easier and cheaper to get a free instance on AWS and run bitcoind on it
jborkl: a pi would not even run bitcoind worth a shit
cgcardona_: i'm sure there's a huge market for something that cool
cgcardona_: also I'm considering just taking their open source hardware and paying a team of people to churn them out and deliver them on time
asciilifeform: (i wouldn't. 'raspberry' is a terrible board)
asciilifeform: cgcardona_: isn't 'piper' just a 'raspberry' with bitcoind loaded?
asciilifeform: i still don't get, why collect money unless you're ready to hand a widget over
cgcardona_: and it arrived in like 3 days and I got a personal email from Canton.
cgcardona_: all the threads that I read say it's a legit product and that the person who got one was stoked.
cgcardona_: yea I'm still waiting on my freaking piper wallet to arrive. It's been a month since I paid for it and they haven't even sent me a confirmation email. And I've contacted them twice since. :-|

MGK: I have a few deals on there, 1 for over $10k with Goat
MGK: I can respond to a PM on the forums to prove that is my account also
MGK: Yes we would just go off of trust, I just sold a .5 on the forums he sent first and I shipped out this morning insured and tracking etc. Here is the link,https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=557874.msg6112123#msg6112123
MGK: No problem cgcard. I understand your concern and unfortunately theres not much I can do about that besides tell you I got the coin from NightOwl which is a reputable re-seller and was already graded. Ive never been able to actually touch this coin.
cgcardona_: It's a tough one for me because I've not ordered a casasius from anyone other than the source (and then only aluminum ones for promo material alas) so i'm just not sure what I'd do if it wasn't legit (and I promise I'm not calling you a scammer. Just thinking out loud)
MGK: I like the old man coin too, I just got back from LV about 3 weeks ago and I had to buy a couple.

cgcardona_: but you have a 1btc?
MGK: anyone a fan of pawn stars? I have an autographed old man 1oz silver coin lol
cgcardona_: and then I ran a script to sort them by denomination as well.
nubbins`: not too interested in the 2013 brass -- now if you could find me a 2011 series-2 1btc brass, on the other hand...
MGK: I can make a thread on btc talk and post pictures if you like, asking only 1.5
MGK: nubbins you interested in a graded MS65 casacius 1BTC coin?
asciilifeform: 'One in four renters now spend more than half of their income on housing, up from one in five a decade ago, according to a 2013 .... '
MGK: Anyone interested in a graded MS65 casacius 1BTC coin?

mircea_popescu: but anyway, the guy is obviously trying to have someone write him a scamsite. found a decent pretext, but it's about as convincing as what kids trying to get you to do their homework come up with.

mircea_popescu: and you could have had that blog, had you started working on it, diligently, half a decade ago.
