BingoBoingo:
A problem I am seeing though is that if TradeFortress was the primary borrower from Coinlenders and ran both Input.io and Coinlenders under TradeFortress that this might actually should have been
a Coinlenders default.
BingoBoingo: Maybe pankkake?
A distinct problem is that even an actual inputs.io hack can't absolve him of having been CoinLender's operator and primary borrower simultaneously.
fiat500: last i heard
a fix had been specced out
pankkake: eheh, that's what I'm doing (running
a node with good connectivity/many connections)
fiat500: i think they need
a math refresher
fiat500: feels to me like just sitting on btc and waiting for competitive mining to bring the price up is
a better deal than betting on effervescent hardware
pankkake: seems
a bit stuck because of ciphermine bonds, but otherwise it escaped unharmed from the other failures
fiat500: i made
a few btc on difficulty futures
fiat500: this is
a "coop" with
a market cap of ~1k BTC
Apocalyptic: i don't see the Deprived's DMS as
a destruction of wealth , though it's most creative for sure
fiat500: there is
a "well respected" mining coop running now with 10k shares, several hundred shareholders, mining at 700GH/s
BingoBoingo: ng
a 0.025 BTC bounty to anyone who can find the link."
BingoBoingo: Duffer1 has claimed the bounty for finding the article per: "Sometime late last year,
a publication released an article on Bitcoin Barons or Bitcoin movers and shakers that was linked to recently and I can't seem to find the link anymore. Among the listed names were Nefario, Diablo-D3, and Caldwell. It came from
a fairly major publication. If any of the aspiring bitpoor are listening on this channel or reading the logs, I'm offeri
fiat500: with
a self-fulfilling prophecy of obsoletion
Apocalyptic: fiat500, I don't remember specific names but if you browse
a bit on the forums i'm sure you 'll find some
fiat500: KRS|Gotchawallet: not everything is
a conspiracy
BingoBoingo: I think
a safe rule of thumb for anything BTC is that Mining=Scam until delivery.
fiat500: sort of like when you're sick but don't want to visit
a doctor in case its something terrible
fiat500: also the funds were sent to
a picostocks address
fiat500: had to re-read that
a few times
BingoBoingo: Hashing at
a fixed 500TH might as well be insolvent when (BTC hacked) > 5 BTC

fiat500: anyway, he strikes me as
a mafioso more than anything
fiat500: he doesnt strike me as
a scammer, but definitely
a serial "get rich quick" schemer
pankkake: I only found his weird hosting company on archive.org which at one time was
a "buy
a hosting business" page
BingoBoingo: I kind of wonder if the end game for Havelock is closure or more of
a disintegration into
a cryptostocks like ghetto
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Seriously case number 1 for outsourcing communications on bitcointalk is the potential to reveal your enterprise is actually just
a couple of dudes playing on the forums for 20+ hours
a day.
pankkake: he sent me
a nonsensical PM too
kanzure: has anyone made
a scrooge mcduck bitcoin pool yet
Apocalyptic: if you're
a well known corp like Vupen there's no much risk for the buyer
mikaeldice: I came here to try to find the best way to prove it's not
a scam, the best I could come up with is escrow
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> it'll be mostly
a footrace though // don't be so sure :)
mikaeldice: Not
a scam.. when I do actually post the competition it'll be on the forums, and with an escrow for the BTC
mikaeldice: true, but it lacks
a certain panache.. I'd like to see
a hot wallet sitting on
a server with open root access for
a month unmolested
Apocalyptic: it's the hotwallet problem reduced to
a more convenient layout
Apocalyptic: just create
a file with
a randomhash and secure that
mikaeldice: I dunno, the excitement of it. I want to show that
a hot wallet can be secured
Apocalyptic: but why couple this with
a running bitcoind on the server then ?
Apocalyptic: I think you don't really have
a way to proove it's their
mikaeldice: Maybe the webapp can sign
a message every hour or something, but I don't know if that'll include the IP address where the message was signed
mikaeldice: But to go back to the original problem, I need
a way to prove that the wallet is there to begin with
mikaeldice: I'd be keeping
a keylogger record of everything so I can see how it's broken if it is broken. Maybe I could throw that up on the webapp for spectators
mikaeldice: I don't have that to throw around. But I could probably start
a bitbet for spectators who don't have access.
Apocalyptic: you will have
a couple of challengers then :)
mikaeldice: kakobrekla, I'd leave it up for
a month or so, maybe longer.
A minimum of
a month
mikaeldice: Nope, it'll use
a standard linux kernel.. probably
a major service pack version of either centos or ubuntu
mikaeldice: Yep, but I'll give you
a hint, it involves kernel level protection
Apocalyptic: "try breaking past the rest of the security" // i guess figuring this out is
a part of the challenge
mikaeldice: I'd even make
a little webapp that interacts with bitcoind so there's another vector for attack
mikaeldice: But I need
a way to prove that the wallet is there
mikaeldice: Unencrypted, open SSH port, and optionally pay for
a valid root login. The payment gets added to the same wallet hosted on the server
Apocalyptic: so you provide us with root access to
a machine containing
a wallet.dat file with the actual (pubkey,privkey) to an address holding coins
Apocalyptic: that's
a good starting point, otherwise it doesn't make sense
mikaeldice: lol, truffles. It'd be
a test of sorts, to prove the security software out. If it can hold up to an open invitation to the bitcoin community to try to break it, then I'd say it's relatively secure
mikaeldice: Each time someone buys the root login, the bitcoin would be added to the wallet for
a total pot.. I'd keep it after
a month if nobody could break the security
mikaeldice: But I need
a provable way to show that the wallet is on that machine that they're given access to, or people will yell scam
mikaeldice: hostname/IP.. I'd probably use linux on EC2, then have the machine run
a little program that interfaces with bitcoind and gives out the password whenever someone gives it
a bitcoin
nubbins`: well, when you say
a specific machine
mikaeldice: I want to make
a bet on the strength of the security software being used on the computer, that given the root password and an unencrypted wallet, that still nobody could steal the wallet
nubbins`: you could have
a thousand machines sharing an ip
mikaeldice: There's an ip address encoded into
a transaction, right? Maybe I can have the machine sign
a message or something
mikaeldice: I'm trying to think of
a way to prove that
a wallet is on
a specific machine
nubbins`: i'm just not sure in what other context it would make sense to have
a service that moves btc from one country to another
jborkl: I guess they think there is
a shortage of ways to get $ into mexico
mircea_popescu:
a well i guess it has no other way to do it if you have no blockchain
mike_c: it would be awesome if you published
a trezor hack with the cardano release.
mircea_popescu: check out how many times the "your mother" accusatuive is preceded by
a fut form, and how many times by anything else.
nubbins`: recall some time ago i was explaining that being the son of
a dog was
a grave insult, then they just start throwing numbers in front of it?
nubbins`: However, despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than
a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery
dub: However, despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than
a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the party and the leader for him.
dub: worth
a read, hilariouis
jurov: it has
a display, too
nubbins`: idea being that the train is fastest at that point, making it
a favored jump spot
