mircea_popescu: there's no specific problem known at
that height ;
trb does
tend
to want
to use about 4gb or so if it can get
to it.
Mariono: btw mircea_popescu how
to insert
the message into it ?
thestringpuller: "If anything, having nice
things on credit is not a bad strategy if you never paid
the bills really and someone
took losses instead" << US Millennials really believe
this while riding around in a used BMW
they
technically don't own.
whaack: I
tried connecting
to each individual node in
the "trusted node" with -connect=ip -maxconnetions=1 -nolisten but when I did
that debug.log kept showing askfor
tx xxxxx 0
mircea_popescu: whaack he just means what ips have you specified
to connect
to if any.
mircea_popescu: luser friendly, bitch! are you a luser ? no ?
then whadda ya want!
Mariono: i already played a game and have a pgp message for claim
the free bits
Mariono: so how
to claim
the free btc ?
whaack: Greetings I'm
trying
to get a
trb node running and I've gotten stuck during sync at block height 212033 any help would be appreciated here is
the last 1k lines of my debug.log dpaste.com/03P772C
phf: oh i updated
the btcbase version of lam-par
phf: i
thought busybox at some point was a contender for
tmsros user space
mircea_popescu: kinda why i wanted
to inquire around
the root of
that palm "tree".
phf: sh (bourne shell) is almost never actually deployed on systems anymore. when people say "sh"
they usually mean "posix compliant subset of shell language
that was once implemented as sh, and now written into
the standard". on linux sh is bash in compatability mode, on bsd sh is ksh also in compatability mode. fwiw busybox supports posix sh, but doesn't have bash
mircea_popescu would like
to convey
this discussion
to commenter. maybe ask him
to join here ?
mircea_popescu: well sure. on
the other hand, sh is also less used. for all you know it has
three shellshocks.
mircea_popescu: (in case anyone
thought "let's add fluoride
to water" is some sort of novel insanity : as american as apple pie.
this schmuck added radium for
the EXACT same purpose - it'll strengthen your
teeth, cure gout and female anoyingness.)
mircea_popescu: no, seriously, i should like
to see a case of historical snake oil
that DIDN'T fit
that bill. all
the way
to wja bailey's "radium is restoring health
to
thousands" radithor
mircea_popescu: what
the everloving fuck ELSE is snakeoil but "stupid shit
that behaves as advertised and yet is not useful for any usecase"
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-29: [15:14:05] <asciilifeform> and holy FUCK,
the sheer depth of retardation,
mircea_popescu: (in
this particular case, it's a case of "according
to
the empire worldview,
the correct crypto would be based on creating privkeys out of public strings, with a dab of emperor's own pubes" "this may not exist ; here's
the proof")
mircea_popescu: like a strange sort of animated snowball in hell, sizzling like butter on
the hot stove every which way.
mircea_popescu: never gives up,
tries again, "revolution", "progress", it's
the lulz of all
time.
to
think all
this running away, running in circles, chasing of
tail etc is simply
the devil
trying
to somehow, hopefully, beyond all hope escape
the fact
that
there really isn't any room for it here.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how on every single iteration, at every level, in every novel context and at each
turn
the socialist empire meets in
the field
the same very nude declaration of nature
that "you may not exist, vermin". EVERY
time.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-29: [14:55:26] <asciilifeform> (in actuality, in 'identity-based' crypto, folks actually encipher
to a pubkey
that is produced by F(Pc, X) where Pc is
the chump's email addr and X is a public key of
the great inca; chump (email addr holder) can decipher with his Pk_c private key, and so can
the inca.
mircea_popescu: derps are now reduced
to mfa websites filled by ohioan fiverr copywriters ffs.
mircea_popescu: Elliot Maras has reported on
the payments industry and financial services for
trade publications and websites for several years. He is based in Cleveland, Ohio. << for
the shitlist.

a111: Logged on 2015-04-02 14:58 asciilifeform: 'Boneh, in joint work with Matt Franklin, constructed a novel pairing-based method for identity-based encryption (IBE), whereby a user's public identity, such as an email address, can function as
the user's public key. Since
then, Boneh's contributions,
together with
those of others, have shown
the power and versatility of pairings, which are now used as a mainstream
tool in cryptography.
The
transfer of pairings from
theory
t a111: Logged on 2016-09-29 13:25 mircea_popescu: (but yes, i did say pubkey where i should have said privkey for sanity.
the problem is
that in
the scenario discussed
there's no difference.)
shinohai: (warning, lot's of I couldn't break Bitcoin butthurt in

mircea_popescu: adlai for
the record it's not exactly "security
theatre". a large list of ingredients goes into what exactly makes me disdain X item ;
that's definitely one of
them.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the quality of
the fuel is not involved in
the discussion of fuel.
this sort of separation of concerns is what alf correctly points out constitutes all science.
adlai: it should be ~unique each
time you run
the rng, but if your 'entropy' source is a piece of data (public key), doesn't your rng
turn into a p-rng?
adlai: ok, but i still don't understand
the rest of
that line.
mircea_popescu: adlai it's an assumption of
the nature of "whatever engine may in
the future be devised, 1) it will run on fuel, and 2)
that fuel will be derivable from gasoline".
adlai brushes up on his unix utils,
trying
to cram alf's lampochute into his head
a111: Logged on 2016-09-27 16:39 mircea_popescu:
this doesn't matter so much, future cryptosystem will be made on
the basis of rng ; rng can work with pubkey as entropy source.
mircea_popescu: well no, at least
that's an actual
thing. as opposed
to
theoretical pieces badly written by idiots.
mircea_popescu: well...
truman vs roosevelt does fit a weevil vs cockroach sort of profile,
to my eye
mircea_popescu: this is like saying
that
the replacement cockroach was also a cockroach.
mircea_popescu: well... who's
to know.
twit nearly avoided himself, if you recall
that incident when escort subs nearly sunk his boat.
mircea_popescu: well, not a great fan of roosevelt, at any rate. nor muchly loved by
the "comedians" of his era.
BingoBoingo: Quite
the cliffhanger on South Park. Will
the Cartman vaginaballs plot be resolved!
