interviewee: i enjoyed your blog that you pushed out right after the attack.
mircea_popescu: financially, it's toxic, for this reason. nobody sane will get involved in it, which is the point.
mircea_popescu: the actual legal standing is not established. it's one of those things that are a huge pile of nonsense a judge will have to cut through. ☟︎
interviewee: so, here's my personal take
interviewee: so, it's unclear if any of those disclaimer actually mean anythign or nothing
shinohai: i was just curious as to the legal standing of the dao from US perspective
interviewee: however, none fo this is legal advice- just my persaonl analysis
interviewee: complicating this of course is the fact that an investor/DaoT holder could actually buy in without seeing any of those disclaimers b/c the buy in was actually just a ETH transaction
interviewee: and who was authorized to discllaim for TheDao
interviewee: whcih of course was ambigiuous as to its ownership for a while- so it was unclear what "disclaimers" actually came from "TheDao"
interviewee: then you have the conflicting mess of declarations in the daohub.org page
interviewee: you have the readme.md file in the git for the slockit code that had all sorts of interesting/strange declarations/disclaimers
interviewee: you have the comments in the actual .sol files as to warranties and incorp. of the gnu license
interviewee: however, flying in the face of that declaration were layer after layer of lawyer language
interviewee: as to your q, TheDao was evidently premised as code = law
interviewee: 4. if we accept the law is code premise, then is what the exploiter did actually a violation of any others' rights?
interviewee: 3. if no contract and no "ownership" then can anyone get anything usign the legal system?
shinohai: hasn't it been established that the dao *didn't specifically prohibit this behavior* ?
interviewee: 2. if there is no contract relationship, is there any conventionally recognized "ownership" right to any of the ETH/DAOt out there
interviewee: 1. is there any contract relationship and if so, what does it say everyone can and can't do?
interviewee: that is to say, who has what rights/powers/responsibilities/burdens
interviewee: when determining whether any party has the ability to invoke the power of the legal system to determine a dispute, you must first determine the party's respective legal rights
interviewee: here's the analysis
shinohai: kk ... so ... the dao. You believe the "dao attacker' has a legal claim here?

mircea_popescu: in other "vc powered securitits" lulz : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJVwSrzOUlE wants you to sign into shittle to "confirm your age". https://www.youtube.com/v/yJVwSrzOUlE does not.

shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508921 <<< miami lawyer guy may show up in chat in the morning to poke ☝︎
mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/BrVvd << teh "vc" derps found their sty and are self-reportedly happy.
BingoBoingo: theft of course referring to the forking which was a theft from legitimate DAO contract DAO'er ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Anyways the greatest lulz of the etherum fork business is that really it seems like they softforked theft, not hardforked
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> BingoBoingo: "sorry fork, your loss" << actually had me lollin << ty. shinohai's piece muh edit
mircea_popescu: how the fuck do they do it, it's like the luser is wired, genetically predisposed to luserdom.
shinohai: u there?
shinohai: nice i just got in, broke down and bough some muscadine wine for tonite xD
mircea_popescu: this may be the best thing written in that language that year ; and possibly the hardest thing to translate from trilema. notwithstanding that it's not even found there.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell gabrielradio sau vezi si pe la diana daca te tin curelele : http://www.dianacoman.com/blog/2011/09/29/curbarea-sursei-trilematice/
mircea_popescu: anywya. not teh end of the world.
asciilifeform: when generating it, i had the figure cached in head from 1990s, '2048, slow but strong!111'
mircea_popescu: ahgahaha seriously, they want 2kb keys ?
asciilifeform: lel seems like danielpbarron's pig did not enjoy the fucking any more than mine
asciilifeform: but then there are also livestock, apparently.
mircea_popescu: well yes, but that's you not reddit.
asciilifeform: even if there were no convenient explanation served on a silver plate.
asciilifeform: i can't speak for others, but if in 2012 someone had shown me a suspected cracking of rsa key in the wild, i would have squeezed stones until i learned how it was done
asciilifeform: how many times does one write same explanation ?
mircea_popescu: think of the consumer like it were a woman - you don't just go plug her, right ?
mircea_popescu: well, alternatively could have had article explaining things rather than just bareback link to data
asciilifeform: perhaps if it had a lolcat ! or concerned the snorting of ethertardium !
asciilifeform: took less than 1 hour.
mircea_popescu: gotta start ; then gotta keep going. through which process one achieves the bookwriting.
asciilifeform: i have no doubt that mircea_popescu , if he were inclined, could have written a whole b00k about said item. but all i had was this.

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell gabriel_radio http://trilema.com/2011/imi-cer-scuze-dar-mi-am-uitat/ there you go, try that :D

For example, you will see an URL similar to the following for all your custom block pages. http://<ipaddress>:15871/cgi-bin/blockpage.cgi?ws-session=687865868 '
asciilifeform: now granted i cannot prove that 'blockpage.cgi' is their censorware monkey's panel...
mircea_popescu: you're dicking around on tardstalk etc anyway, might as fucking well sit down and write something that'll be useful later.
asciilifeform: ok mircea_popescu this is precious, i cannot resist:
asciilifeform: nice burst of traffic.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if nothing else, good test of my cachetronics.
asciilifeform: dropped it also in the other major heathen pit, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12144168 .
asciilifeform: in other 'news', let's a quick experiment: https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/4u3car/we_scan_whole_ipv4_space_and_publicly_break_weak << does the unhappenatron still have unhappenatronium fuel rods left ? or not.
shinohai: https://twitter.com/el33th4xor/status/756509426375352320 <<< butterin looks like he needs to get back to his coffin before sunrise in this photo.
mircea_popescu: ftr, there's a tv franchise called "sit down, shut up". it never caught on.
mircea_popescu: i thought he didn't like it ; worked about as well as any os he ever used, any software package ; any box of breakfast cereal etc.

mircea_popescu: but all this aside, the "reality tv" put a half dozen 20yos in a house and film the drama bs made a billion easy.
asciilifeform: i will try it shortly after i dine on broken glass, nuts, bolts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform adding that to your anal illustrative inclination, i get the idea maybe you should try it!
asciilifeform: i dun even grasp the appeal of pr0n with cocks in it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: now, i never understood the appeal of dressing cows in "business suits" and pretending like they're speaking when they moo. but then again i'm not in the business of running the us empire of pretense.
asciilifeform: i suppose i'm roughly in the position of the quasi-deaf artillerist who goes to a mozart concerto.
shinohai: lol i am just now seeing where someone sent 38k ETH to the dao
mircea_popescu: point in case : http://67.media.tumblr.com/6b3c86cf8995a714a1271f8a05d0f330/tumblr_nldoi2Hklx1uox454o1_500.gif << she, and ANY OTHER ONE LIKE HER, could blather endlessly about nonsense, just as well quality wise as ANY us female professor of nonsense. nevertheless, NO us female professor of nonsense could do that scene. maybe if she can afford to pay me a million to train her for eighteen weeks. but even then it's dubious.
mircea_popescu: showing off is more of a skill than being a feminism professor. it takes more work, and it is a more respectable accomplishment.
mircea_popescu: people who have contact with a lot of them break through the "o, she's an idiot, how endearing" phase of single-mating-male and become deeply irritated by even a faint hint of the well described idiocies. think of it much like how immune cascade/anaphilactic shock works.
asciilifeform: does she need to be brilliant to display her bits ?
mircea_popescu: at the time sets cost ~2k per model.
asciilifeform: i can only assume that mircea_popescu found someone who will pay 100+epsilon for it.
mircea_popescu: well you wouldn't do all sorts of things, principally because and since you'rfe not in the business of doing them.
mircea_popescu: myeah. under that, really. food included.
mircea_popescu: you house them in conditions slightly better than they house themselves, which is 6 heads to the 3room apt.
mircea_popescu: bout a hundred per head. you don't house them solo.
asciilifeform: what did it cost to house 1 specimen ?
mircea_popescu: at the time (mid 90s, ro) it wasn't in any sense overpriced.
mircea_popescu: then it got mainstreamized into "reality tv" or someshit, a whole franchise.
