mircea_popescu: basically it's
a site to meet federal agents posing as people who are trying to buy bitcoins to pay for stolen cards, rite ?
mircea_popescu: wait, that's still in business ? didn't it turn scam
a while back ?
FabianB_: coindesks bitcoin price index might be an option, but with only stamp and btce it's
a joke too
r3wt: btw, openex lua is done man, it is
a complete rethink. i would have
a few days of moving/converting the db to the new structure but it is basically all done except for sockets and the migration of the db structure
Apocalyptic: ThickAsThieves, it's ok you are
a foreigner
mircea_popescu: theres' ANX.HK Justcoin and
a bunch of other crap with < 10 btc volume
mircea_popescu: 23293.31 from bitstamp, 17237.53 from btc-e, basically this is
a joke.
mircea_popescu: so TIL that bitcoinaverage uses
a ton of fictitious volume from crap like bitfines.
davout: r3wt: what makes
a language hard to me is the lack of internal consistency it can have
davout: but wanting away from PHP sounds like
a sane thing if you're going to be programming moar
r3wt: that is
a tough task for me. i find myself doing alot of reading and then some trial and error
mike_c: sounds like
a kindred spirit doesn't he mp?
mircea_popescu: I passionately hated PHP for
a long time after that, but it's just not relevant enough to my work anymore to hate.
mike_c: r3wt. but don't worry, he's converting it to
a custom lua engine
mike_c: but he is not building
a blog, he is building an exchange
mircea_popescu: or w/e,
a digital scrapbook for the information superhighway
davout: thank god nobody relies on
a programming language for actual security
mircea_popescu: i still don't believe there's anything that even comes close to php for as long as what you're doing is basically...
a blog.
ozbot: PHP:
a fractal of bad design - fuzzy notepad
r3wt: $address = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST["recipient"])); $wallet = new Wallet($idtw); $validity = $wallet->validate($address); if($validity == false) { $errors[] = "Not
a valid address"; $error = true; }
r3wt: damn, it does return
a bollean. you smart mofo
r3wt: the array returns
a string?
davout: r3wt: why would it have to be
a string??
r3wt: it would be
a string right? or i'm just stupid?
r3wt: how can you have
a boolean in an array?
davout: mircea_popescu: guess you have
a point
r3wt: because json rpc returns an array, not
a boolean
pankkake: I remember once when I had to do
a replace of '[]' by '{}', to fix the php json export
Apocalyptic: "An array in PHP is actually an ordered map.
A map is
a type that associates values to keys. This type is optimized for several different uses; it can be treated as an array, list (vector), hash table (an implementation of
a map), dictionary, collection, stack, queue, and probably more"
r3wt: mircea_popescu: if anything its
a good place to learn
mircea_popescu: <r3wt> ah, now i see what i did wrong. i'm asking if
a function is
a boolean when it already returns one << pretty good this.
r3wt: i was asking if
a string in an array was false within the original function, then i was asking if the function was
a boolean
kakobrekla: no he is aksing if
a fuction is
a string "false"
pankkake: mircea_popescu: it does. but it's just
a module, there's no quick access operator
r3wt: ah, now i see what i did wrong. i'm asking if
a function is
a boolean when it already returns one
r3wt: you can have your jabs now. in
a few weeks you will have
a mouth of crow
mike_c: i held my tongue for like
a whole page
davout: dear god, please let this not degenerate into
a language fight
mike_c: sorry, just had to get
a php crack in there
davout: r3wt: if it parses the json it returns
a hash, or
a dictionary, whatever you call it in PHP, with the "isvalid" key pointing to
a bool
r3wt: you could be right and i'm just
a dumbass overcomplicating things. i'll try your way and see.
davout: r3wt: looks to me like the JSON is simply parsed so you should end up with
a bool from validateaddress, no.
davout: r3wt: so your wrapper converts
a nice boolean into
a cumbersome string?
davout: just tried it, it returns
a bool
davout: if it's
a boolean that should be enough
davout: r3wt: i know nothing of your code, but aren't you trying to test strict equality with
a string when the value is
a boolean?
mircea_popescu: its
a tool to allow you (and us) to evaluate the credibility of agents.
TomServo: WillTablet: it was
a paste from the keybase.io page
r3wt: they've always been
a thing for superfags
gribble: (bcregister <nick> <bitcoinaddress>) -- Register your identity, associating bitcoin address key <bitcoinaddress> with <nick>. <bitcoinaddress> should be
a standard-type bitcoin address, starting with 1. You will be given
a random passphrase to sign with your address key, and submit to the bot with the 'bcverify' command. Your passphrase will expire in 10 minutes.
pankkake: anyway, this gpg identity thing allows me to do what I've always wanted to do,
a secure way to link profile together
mircea_popescu: "let us inject our stupid website spuriously" is not much of an ide.
a gribble: (register <nick> <keyid>) -- Register your GPG identity, associating GPG key <keyid> with <nick>. <keyid> is
a 16 digit key id, with or without the '0x' prefix. We look on servers listed in 'plugins.GPG.keyservers' config. You will be given
a random passphrase to clearsign with your key, and submit to the bot with the 'verify' command. Your passphrase will expire in 10 minutes.

benkay: i designed
a regen motor for printing
benkay: they induce airflow in
a helix around the body, which when it impacts the giant stablization foils at the bottom
benkay: har not
a consideration for this hog
benkay: it's
a "student group" mostly made up of area professionals
benkay: basically built by ee's as
a flight platform for their electronics
benkay: rocket is
a hilarious hog
benkay: built
a roll control unit, doing cool stuff with imus and measurements
mircea_popescu: the fact remains that whatever interests us is what matters in the world henceforth, and whatever interests whoever else, seven billion anon rats, is not worth
a cigarette butt.
mircea_popescu: if ppls wanna do physics too we do physics too. with
a focus on rocketry or w/e interests us.
mircea_popescu: so srsly, no trolling, try and come up with
a broad criteria. like
a sentence or something,
a paragraph.
mircea_popescu:
a mechanical turk you can have, an automated gentleman you can't have.
mircea_popescu: may be
a good idea, tho i fear automated trust systems may be hijacked in the way kakobrekla describes.
mircea_popescu: gotta have disagreement and scream at each other to end up with
a good prize.
mircea_popescu: well obviously we can't let this run as
a dollar auction.
