Mats_cd03: someone create
a replacement for full-disclosure that solely utilizes the bitcoin protocol
mircea_popescu: "
A nationwide scam involving fake Internal Revenue Service representatives has already resulted in $1 million being stolen from thousands of unsuspecting victims."
Mats_cd03: its not that cool, more like
a tiny
A/C unit inside the gas mask
Mats_cd03: install
a small fan to move air around
Mats_cd03: then they can drill
a few holes in there
Mats_cd03: they shouldve just built
a helmet out of it
B007: benkay: that whole situation is
a lot of wot
decimation: So to answer Moldbug: Monetary dillusion could be used as
a way to reduce crime - by redistributing wealth (just enough) to keep crime down and businesses open
decimation: yeah that's
a pretty good point. Moldbug has
a point about closed currencies, but your point goes to human nature - something that "economists" often famously ignore.
mircea_popescu: at any time there will exist
a quantity of theft, q. at any time there will also exist
a minimal quantity of theft, mq, such that it is more productive for the young to work at commerce and industry to acquire wealth
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can readily offer
a way in which systematic pilfering is essential to commerce and industry.
☟︎ decimation: well, he should stop trying to make gay navies and start by re-writing the bitcoin client with
a real spec
decimation: "Every nonneutral dilution can be defined as the combination of
a neutral redenomination and
a nonneutral redistribution. And this is why dilutionists are quacks. Dilutionists are quacks because it is impossible to imagine
a way in which the systematic pilfering of wallets could somehow be essential to commerce and industry."
decimation: "My test is that
a real economist is an economist who believes that any quantity of money is adequate.
A quack economist is an economist who believes that increasing prosperity - or even continuing prosperity - demands
a continuously increasing quantity of money."
mircea_popescu: there's
a diff eeprom for the symetric key, these are physically separate for reasons etc
decimation: okay that was my question. I suspected as much, but I was thinking about possible scenarios today and it occured to me that such
a precaution would be wise
mircea_popescu: and other features generally make it improbable
a key will be lost. but this level of specific detail is to be you know, put up once the product actually goes for order
mircea_popescu: anyway, decimation : there will be
a single key storage eeprom, but the key itself is written quite redundantly on it,
decimation: ah, that answers my question, it seems that there will be
a single key storage EEprom
decimation: is there
a preliminary block diagram available?
decimation: asciilifeform I had
a question about Cardano. I assume that measures have been taken to prevent loss of the private key in the case of the failure of
a flash chip or bits thereof?
mircea_popescu: you mean the only country which has
a military base which allows the us some sort of semblance of relevancy in the black sea ?
decimation: "agencies will have to have
a public comment period before they grant themselves extraconstitutional authority over
a matter"
mircea_popescu: LordPutin: what ilearned from thiswhole trendon shavers deposition is that youneed to have
a good online username like "mymothersasshole" or something...."So you spoke with my mothers asshole on the 10th of Jan last year, is thatcorrect?" << lol
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla seriously, "september 11 TYPE OF EVENTS" << yeah, it's
a term of art :D
mircea_popescu: perhaps not as often as is the case in romania, but definitely
a lot more often than is the case in russia or w/e
mircea_popescu: well ok, but that'd have been
a prime spot to crack the story you know ?
mircea_popescu: as far as i know this matter has been discussed in their comission already, and they're working towards
a decision
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's
a lot of difference between trading oranges and trading monopoly money.
g_forcewinds: my impossible i meant that it takes
a long time for the SEC to make
a determination like whether they are going to regulate. I could be wrong, but I think
a public comment period is required
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's
a major difference there too. the grain case (and the oranges cove case which is used to teach kids about the sec) all discuss actual items of value.
g_forcewinds: Thanks for clarifying your perspective Mircea. I'll be sure to reach out if I you end up in
a story again. What's the best way to get in touch? FYI I work at night
mircea_popescu: that aside : what makes you judge we're talking about "
A bunch of impossible" ?
mircea_popescu: well actually, it's
a fundamental issue of law which somehow seems lost on the journalistic profession
Duffer1: it's already
a currency ninja
ninjashogun: will btc be "internet points" or will it be
a currency?
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 no, im referring to
a bunch of news outlets linking it
ozbot: Interacting with fiat institution,
a guide pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
Duffer1: it's
a summary of statements made in the email exchange between MP and the SEC
ninjashogun: is that
a direct quote? Whose voice is this sentence in?
ninjashogun: But then he said he wanted
a bunch of impossible (at least in the near term) stuff before the two could talk frankly, including an SEC determination that it lacks jurisdiction over Bitcoin.
chetty: "After giving her
a verbal spanking, he did leave room for future cooperation:"
mircea_popescu: well, i guess there's going to be
a steady stream of journo people coming in here these days
mircea_popescu: no wonder the doj is claiming prism has full support from the usg-controlled corps
a la google yahoo etc
mircea_popescu: one's
a dinky disqus-equivalent owned by conde nast. the other's
a facebook-wannabe still in the cool vc phase.
LordPutin: to make it seem like he hasn't done
a runner?
LordPutin: who know what ilearned from thiswhole trendon shavers deposition is that youneed to have
a good online username like "mymothersasshole" or something...."So you spoke with my mothers asshole on the 10th of Jan last year, is thatcorrect?"
dignork: lol, "unspecified amounts of bitcoins are being moved, sometimes in fractions of
a single bitcoin, into multiple accounts overseas". what do they smoke?
ozbot:
A Crypto-Sting Operation to Find Crypto-Currency - MoneyBeat - WSJ
Mats_cd03: its fairly clear, there is
a contract for every enterprise
bitcoinpete: thickasthieves artifexd could we do
a btc loan or purchase instead? don't want another client that bad
artifexd: bitcoinpete I can sell you
a few ATC if you want to follow ThickAsThieves' advice
bitcoinpete: alrighty then. are you up for
a little test run?
benkay: borrow some btc for
a week, pay it back
benkay: here's
a blog post for ya: "the only dependency in your reputational toolchain should be gpg"
Ghaleon: if you import
a wallet.dat file into bitcoind does it copy over the receiving addresses? everything that I have read says IT WILL NOT COPY over receiving addresses....
Namworld: [17:12] <TheMediator> its up to you namworld. If you think you can make it happen, we can use it as
a base.
Namworld: [17:12] <deup> that is why there are
a bunch of exchanges
Namworld: [17:12] <Namworld> That's why you can't trust any website that comes up with
a Bitcoin service. Even if it looks nice.
Namworld: [17:11] <Namworld> Dangerous thing, it took only
a few hours to learn how to do. Making an exchange is in the reach of any moron willing to put
a few days to learn how to and
a month or two to code it full time.
Namworld: [17:09] <Namworld> If I had patched up an exchange with added complexity and everything, it would probably have been
a security disaster.
Namworld: [17:09] <Namworld> I know basic PHP and just barely touched database. I made
a microapp for fun, that just tracks views and clicks and banners, for
a banner exchange. Without any user interface or accounts capability. Just the script for the banners + tracking.
Namworld: [17:06] <Namworld> I'm
a noob coder. I could maybe have patched up something in
a few months, pretended I knew what I was doing and lost customers funds, making tons of money meanwhile. But I'm not
a self-centered, over-confident, can-never-fail asshat,
Namworld: Actual conversation with the irrelevant chatter filtered out. People were talking about making
a leveraged trading platforms for altcoins. Advice falling on deaf ears.
nubbins`: we do occasionally get requests from people who want digital prints tho, and it's kind of silly to own
a print shop that doesn't have
a color printer
nubbins`: altho silkscreen printing is
a better medium for propaganda
BingoBoingo: Of sorts, at least until May. I suppose I could drive to
a North American border and walk if something urgent, but... This thing with the neighboring county still needs to play out
kakobrekla: dunno if dude managed to open
a btc wallet
ThickAsThieves: yknow if you are loading into
a new wallet it wont see your funds accurately til it's done syncing
benkay: HeySteve2: get in touch later - i gotta run to
a client meeting.
HeySteve2: having
a bit of
a prob with upgrade

ThickAsThieves: In addition, every single email message you send or receive—100% of them—is encrypted while moving internally. This ensures that your messages are safe not only when they move between you and Gmail's servers, but also as they move between Google's data centers—something we made
a top priority after last summer’s revelations."
nubbins`: if you're feeling really frisky some day, you could even add
a date under the article titles
nubbins`: before you ask, i butchered the content of that article so it'd fit in
a screen grab
nubbins`: benkay: you even have
a header now ;D
nubbins`: asciilifeform: the problem with tables is that they're meant for tabular data, and using them to guide layout was always
a shit-show
dexX7: fyi: there is also
a <footer></footer> tag
