mircea_popescu: i've had him shadowed for months now, he's not done anything. i don't even mean anything indictable, he's not done anything AT ALL
mircea_popescu: incredible, that guy. he's been doing 10bux trades with noobs for what, 3-4 years ? all paypal. he must be married to thiel or something.
mircea_popescu: i was in otc before that. and back in 2011/2012, -otc was pretty much like here.
mircea_popescu: **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Apr 12 23:03:54 2012 << my first mention.
mircea_popescu: thing of it the good way : that much less log to read.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well honestly, back around .3.x the atmosphere was quite different. i dunno who or why would not patch when satoshi said patch.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo now that you mention it im vaguely remembering this
mircea_popescu: am i entirely off base in my belief the habbo hotel thing is pretty much the last remaining, well known and well advertised child porn marketplace online ?
mircea_popescu: oh, also i nthe stupid pile : there used to exist a way to send coins by ip. it was a no-verification "tell me an address" special message.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think anyone made it to market ? i think just plans for.
mircea_popescu: also, at least at some point there was explicit tor support in the code
mircea_popescu: also, was there a special command line thing to add ips ?
mircea_popescu: set this to 0 so that accidentally overloks it, it's written by drunk geese.
mircea_popescu: it's nothing but add a week of this, substract 51 minutes of that, madness.
mircea_popescu: and btw, someone has to fix all the fucking magic number fest in the node discovery mechanism
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think about it, they're prolly running pirated windows, too.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because underbanked, reasons and logics.
mircea_popescu: bounce pretty sure it was mingw at some point, not sure if still
mircea_popescu: certainly not outside the capabilities of the us, and a fine reason why stock bitcoin is not safe anyway.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the node discovery mechanism is a fucking hole of the first degree. all an attacker really needs to do is take control of the "last resort" ips and then supress "normal" peer discovery.
mircea_popescu: if you don't supply bootstrap nodes you shouldn't be running it anyway.
mircea_popescu: course at some point it had a bug where it kept a hash of the signature and so you could change the message around if you had an older key.
mircea_popescu: that emergency messaging thing was more of a "let's bake a p2p messaging app into the core because you don't know what will happen and it may be needed."
mircea_popescu: a lot of questions i can answer atm i couldn't even properly form in 2011, and im sure im not the only one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a lot of this stuff is you know, "just in case"isms driven by the fact that a few years ago bitcoin was entirely a novel concept.
mircea_popescu: not particularly useful. i can live with my current key being used but would rather not and am definitely not making a different one.
mircea_popescu: no_imagination oversimplified. i mean... it's in the stuff you read, as short as it gets.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "i choked on a particularly rapid tachyon" should be standard blonde answer.
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : nothing "quantum" can ever affect a macro object. by definition.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic: jurov: quantum tunnelling doesn't and can't happen for macroscopic objects like that. <<< well they call anything "quantum" these days.
mircea_popescu: and holy shit, this linux thing is really not used by anyone, is it ? took until 2014 for someone to mash the prtscr key ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: kako uses alienware only << no, he uses girls'.
mircea_popescu: wow look at that, jurov's blog is not vulnerable to the wp reflected ddos thing
mircea_popescu: xinxi: one of them used to say: I would like to cry in a bmw instead of lauching on a bike. <<< that's a whole new dimension to the entire "fuck you rich" discussion.
mircea_popescu: lmao these logs... nubbins` using cohen as an argument ?!
