mircea_popescu: i'm guessing phuctor is right on schedule : just about
time for yet another paper, a month after
the prev a month after
the prev etc.
mircea_popescu: wtf is
this anyway, people decide
to use a single key on all
their boxes ?
jurov: and i have nfi how
to mitm some box in mexico
jurov: you need
to mitm someone logging in, no?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i would say as a matter of policy we should immediately hijack, copy and completely wipe
these boxes.
mircea_popescu: this seems
to me not a case of "key baked in dsl modem" ; but a case of "someone is running software which can be made
to create deliberately weak keys in certain deployment contexts"
mircea_popescu: so we have
THREE pairs, all on
the same /18, and with different large factors.

mircea_popescu: if it's factory baked, how come
the collisions only happen in C blocks ?
mircea_popescu: you can be on
the same list and don't even have
to spend 1500 dubaloos.
mircea_popescu: so is anyone going
to actually bother a) factoring
the ssh keys found weak ; b) go own
the machines, copy over
their ssh agent ; c) hack it apart see wtf caused
the collisions ?
mircea_popescu: good
thing you can't use
timings and other side channels
to unmaks
them when such a
thing happens.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, officially-in-universe, all sorts of
things happening for ripple also.
to quote, "FXCH Ltd. clears first Blockchain-settled institutional Spot-FX
trades", "Ripple named one of
top 5 fintechs by Fortune Mazagine" etc etc.
mats: on
the subject, anyone for some ad hoc btcusd options?
mircea_popescu: "Tonga will be permanently shut down and all associated crytographic keys destroyed on 2016-08-31.
This should give
the
Tor developers ample
time
to stand up a substitute. I will
terminate
the chron job we set up so many years ago at
that
time
that copies over
the descriptors." << if
there were a bitbet i'd put a little on "there will not be a replacement in
time"
mircea_popescu: o check it out,
tor finally going
to meet ripple in
that happy space over
the horizon ?
jurov: oh it can't machine
the
thread?
mircea_popescu: so i should pay 1500 in new capital outlay
to produce replacements for... roadkill ?!
jurov: you can't cast
the 80%
there receiver yourself?
mircea_popescu: so if i'm going
to make like...
three ? receivers, why buy
this cuisinart for 1500 when i could just buy 3 guns and a six ounce bag from
tyrone ?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 15:40 mircea_popescu: not sure worth
the 1500, but anyway.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 19:58 asciilifeform: 'Mr Vancel said
the men were shooting at each other before
the officers arrived. "This was not a 'come at police' situation
they weren't
targeting
the police at first - I don't assume so - because
these were men out here shooting at each other in an empty parking lot until
the police showed up and it
turned into a gun battle," he added.' << lel
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 18:00 asciilifeform: or why he collects megabux of donation simply
to give
to lawyers;
mircea_popescu: or whatever you call
the multi-folio piles of maculature
that place produces.
mircea_popescu: he
tells himself
this is a stepping stone
to a carrier as congress gofer - where he'll suck his boss' cock and do
the same
thing
to "laws"
mircea_popescu: by now an idiot familiar
to soviet journos is well at work in
the "mainstream" media. his job ? stick
talking points into unrelated items.
mircea_popescu: bloomberg piece includes
the official ideological discussion of
trump, check
that out.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-17#1504265 << i suspect by now
the "3d printed gun" is moreover useful ; afaik work is underway
to
the
typically ustarded pivot of "we're not forbidding weapons - only working ones ; you can still have 3d printed plastic shit! it'll be just as good as
the real
thing for what you do with it anyway, which is
to say jack off".
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 17:31 asciilifeform:
the ~STABILITY~ implied in an alt-world where software ~actually works correctly~ is Ur-terrifying
to
the
typical maggot, whether of
the microshit or 'open sores' variety
reydev: well youve given me something
to ponder
mircea_popescu: chiefly because...
they're not in
the business of
turning out aluminum siding.
mircea_popescu: no media item in
the history of items was ever profitable in
the aluminum siding sense of profitability.
reydev: probably big
time yeah
reydev: i doubt most of
these social media sites will ever be profitable? except indeed for
the ones issuing
the shares
mircea_popescu: think : who's raping who here ?
the game is not "does usg rape us or doesn't it". it's "have raped it yet ?" not binary but unary, only one final state available.
mircea_popescu: that's
the revenue model of EVERYTHING else, why'd you go "i don't see
the qntra revenue model" ? do you go around saying "i don't see
the linkedin revenue model" ?
mircea_popescu: if qntra sells
to... i dunno, who hasn't bought anything in a while, apple say ? for a perfectly market-reasonable hundred billion dollars,
then a shareholder
that bought however many shares for however many bitcents will receive however many hundreds of millions of dollars.
reydev: anyhow, i dont see
the revenue model for qntra if
there is any, is
there something
to read about it?
reydev: im just not at
the computer
mircea_popescu: reydev anyway, nothing keeping you from joining...
the web of
trust. you'll likely be able
to self voice, at least unless/until you go militantly stupid.
mircea_popescu: how not ? you own a share of x item
that's worth a lot.
mircea_popescu: reydev why non profit ? it's currently worth more
than gawker.
thestringpuller: qntra has ways
to monetize beyond having consumers paying shareholders
reydev: while i'm up, can i ask wrt qntra, is it meant
to be non-profit? as in, is
the idea
that shareholders are like sponsors?
mircea_popescu: not even "bunch of illiterate kids reinventing
the world without bothering
to check up
the dictionary first", but
the usual case of "imbeciles still jacking off
to
the notion VC can stand up
to MP".
