thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what the fuck? Yes they are. I work with
a Chinese co-op...just...don't even get my started.
mircea_popescu: yeah in fairness the derpy us traveller of the 70s and 80s has been replaced by
a much more understated kind.
heat: i here Americans will get gang banged in

a hundred grand and allow them to tell you when the thing closes ?
mircea_popescu: Alex Hope made his first trade around five years ago, while he was still working at
a fast food bar – and now claims to earn
a six-figure salary. He made his first deals on his mobile phone during the commute to his day job, after
a spread betting seminar shortly before his 18th birthday.
mircea_popescu: His biography reads: “Despite his tender years, Alex is
a name to watch out for in the city. An expert in the UK economy, he works the currency markets, regularly trading millions.”
mircea_popescu: which you know, most serious partyers can drop on
a single bottle.
ozbot: Used Jaguar cars - Find
a used Jaguar for sale on Auto Trader
nubbins`: you know you've got
a legit scoop when both reuters and ap shake their heads and say "nope" ;(
nubbins` considers
a "vehicles i own" section on
a CV
mircea_popescu: take leah of #suckstobeleah fame : she had
a 175k mortgage and no jaguar.
mircea_popescu: it so happens both of those are 10x as expensive and 100x as scammy on
a roi basis.
mircea_popescu: somehow people are expected to buy houses and college educations, but
a jaguar throws red flags
mircea_popescu: “If one guy has
a Jaguar on
a (government) GS-12 salary, that’s
a red flag,” McConnell said.
ozbot:
A LOOK INSIDE AMERICA'S LARGEST BITCOIN MINING OPERATION - YouTube
cazalla: or perhaps that just makes me
a classles aussie bogan
mircea_popescu: "Because almost all of the cryptographic algorithms we use do not hold up to information-theoretic security. They can “only” offer computational security. The two exceptions that come to my mind are Shamir's Secret Sharing and the One-time pad. And while the first one may be
a valid counterpoint (if you actually intend to use it), the latter is utterly impractical."
mircea_popescu: diametric: ##mtgox-chat is hilarious. So many people ran the tibannebackoffice.exe malware.. what
a bunch of idiots. << waitwat!
punkman: "FOR COMPLEX REASONS THAT ARE ROOTED IN EUROPEAN COLONIAL NARRATIVES, YOUR WIZARD MUST BE AN OLD WHITE MAN WITH
A FLOWING BEARD, NOT
A BLACK MAN WITH HIPSTER SHOES AND
A FANTASTIC VINYL COLLECTION."
Mats_cd03: i guess you could conceivably evade an amateur with
a packet sniffer and no debugging skills
dexX7: i run the .exe and it created
a TibanneSocket.exe + revsecurity.dll file, but no cleanme.bat
benkay: this is actually
a good thing!
dignork: oh, wow, retract my last comment, I just looked into zip, they have
a Mac version too, coded in LiveCode, neat.
dexX7: the guy says "It was created in LiveCode,
a tool for easy GUI programming, which actually stores
a copy of the code encrypted inside of the executable. I essentially just used
a debugger and traced through till I found the code in memory and dumped the section, copying and pasting the interesting parts into this post."
dexX7: they did not leak any personal data and called mark
a fat fuck -> very nice people ;)
diametric: ##mtgox-chat is hilarious. So many people ran the tibannebackoffice.exe malware.. what
a bunch of idiots.
mircea_popescu: wasn't he like rescued from
a romanian orphanage by some french ppls ?
moiety: but then neither did he for
a while
moiety: i hadnt realised openex was hacked
a fortnight ago
Namworld: We both missed
a ton on the BTC rate increase.
dexX7: labcoin was
a more exciting way to lose money
Namworld: Considering the first thing I did was lend over 700 BTC to
a GPU miner thinking it was just 7 grand and the current price per BTC, I'm not close of having positive earnings on average per year.
mircea_popescu: -17% on assets, -22% on fees, half your money back in half
a year.
mircea_popescu: normally i'd say "i wish to meet that elated 1% of bitcoin financiers which actually make 2%
a year", but i think i already have.
dexX7: well, such
a fee level is at least motivating the issuer to perform well
dexX7: i think he indeed sold quite
a few shares
mircea_popescu: and you know, if you quote
a log include
a date,
a link, something.
dexX7: it's legit, names edited and
a few lines removed though
mircea_popescu: i think he spends some time as
a princess in
a special happy place
benkay: overheard in my household this morning "paycheck and
a buttplug! the only grocery list you'll ever need."
Duffer1: doesn't Dr.G have
a blog already?
peterl: hard to put
a good wall of text up on IRC
peterl: maybe he is here under
a different name?
peterl: from the dr. greg thread "the approach continues to offer guaranteed profit up until
a roughly 350% gain " he lost money but still thinks his strategy should have huge returns?
mircea_popescu: peterl well it's
a combination of things. he looks kind-of weird, and behaves like
a negligible quantity
mircea_popescu: KRS-One in his position, leaking his pws is actulaly
a rational, +ev move
mircea_popescu: let the record reflect that i'm working on
a foot long baba ghanoush sub
dexX7: well, it's
a probably
a good thing to get rid of the weak elements
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu random thought: i wonder if the halt in options trading on MPEX will result in
a lot of people flocking to ICBIT...kind of
a scary thought...
mircea_popescu: nah, slush is running
a large pool, large miner, he's okay.
ozbot: Citizens of Fiat vs. Citizens of Bitcoin:
A Contrast | When Bitcoin Met Pete
mircea_popescu: as to the wisdom of not taking pre-orders and generally running
a business like
a business.
dexX7: "To the chagrin of the less confrontational, I plan to attack. And in putting my personal and professional reputation on the line, I will attack ruthlessly, from the front, and (figuratively) shoot to kill. By Monday, I expect that either:
a) Vessenes and Matonis resign gracefully from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, ..."
mircea_popescu: this is the 80s, back when people using bitcoin i mean email were considered at the very least
a little by the guys who generally know everything better
mircea_popescu: "some local computer shop owner yelled at me over the phone when I asked him to email me
a price list, telling me that he would never waste his time on email because it took 20 times longer than
a phone call"
dexX7: turned out it was
a 14 yo child who found the stealer on hackforums
dexX7: there was once
a trojan stealer on btctalk which searched for wallet.dat files and forwarded them via mail - the guy included his mail credentials of his private gmail acc =D
dexX7: and there are some with
a negative balance :D
dexX7: oh wait. and
a list with account balances (though without knowing who is who)
bitcoinpete: Coming in at #3 for
a cool 211,000 BTC: Dracula's Castle in Roumania
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: are you saying search encrypted data using
a hash?
thestringpuller: so if the database is ever compromised for any reason, it won't matter because it requires
a specific gpg key to decrypt the rows
