a pm from hashfast within the last 4 hours?
Diablo-D3: the guy was just
a mouth for fox news
BITESAK: Lastly, he revealed that Obama’s administration was made up of Marxist Muslims who all take their orders from Senior Adviser to the President, Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett. Dr. Garrow said that it is well known to intelligence agencies all over the world that Obama is
a foreign plant who was placed on the path to the presidency by ultra-rich Saudi nationals This is why, Garrow said, that all of Obama’s education records
ThickAsThieves: "I'm just wondering what's going to happen to my 230 shares of DMS.MINING. Mostly because I used
a loan to get them and I really should sell off some shares."
naemsi: maybe
a better question is, what do people around here own ? :)
naemsi: and havelock made some noise about
a big announcement coming which doesn't sound good.
naemsi: HIM is scam or havelock is
a scam?
mircea_popescu: naemsi what us crackdown dood ? it's
a scam. forget about it.
mircea_popescu: Although the parties had access to far better encryption techniques (Karim himself used PGP for data storage on computer disks), they chose to use their own scheme(implemented in Microsoft Excel), rejecting
a more sophisticated code program called Mujhaddin Secrets "because 'kaffirs', or non-believers, know about it, so it must be less secure".
mircea_popescu: In April 2006, fugitive Mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano was captured in Sicily partly because some of his messages, written in
a variation of the Caesar cipher, were broken. Provenzano's cipher used numbers, so that "
A" would be written as "4", "B" as "5", and so on.
mircea_popescu: sadly ips aren't impossible to fake, either, especially by
a locakl attacker
_Neil: It makes it
a lot harder, and more expensive such that joe blow can use it with reasonable confidence.
mircea_popescu: well, IPs are difficult to fake. domain names not so. this is
a thing of the internet, i didn't make it that way
mircea_popescu: this is
a point. the problem with
https is that it doesn't REALLY deliver that end to end promise.
_Neil: Sure. But you're the entrpreneur and owner. You have
a substantial stake in its reputation.
_Neil: It's only
a matter of time. You of all people, Mircea, know that.
_Neil: No not really. Avoiding HTTPS just for the ability to claim it's unnecessary isn't really
a goal.
_Neil: Your lack of usage of HTTPS on bitbet.us is
a little concerning. Who would know if there was an MITM attack against your site, which replaced legitimate funding addresses with
a scammer's address?
mircea_popescu: you enter
a pw when you create it, and only people with the pw can bet.
_Neil: mircea_popescu: What is
a private bet? Your website mentions it when proposing bets, with no explanation I could find whatsoever
Bunnyh: i made
a support ticket of my concern, and all they responded was "Thank you for your ticket. We carefully monitor users' activity for this scam not to happen."

a chance | ZDNet
b0n1: is there
a chart of the profit over time of just-dice?
b0n1: am i totally wrong or did the profit of just-dice increase by
a factor of over the last day?
pankkake: yes. as
a throwaway OS / live cd
pankkake: with
a bunch of stuff preconfigured, it has i2p too
pankkake: it's
a live cd, which forces everything to go through tor
mod6: there are
a bunch of gems in that article
mircea_popescu: i would have just used
a converter personally, but hey. sometimes you're stuck.
mircea_popescu: (i swear i haven't changed it since, but maybe you got
a messy page ?)
[\]: anything but
a letter or space
nubbins`: "only connect to the internet
a little bit, and do all this weird voodoo when you plug foreign usb devices in"
nubbins`: "I downloaded and installed
a) OpenOffice, b)
a PDF reader, c)
a text editor, d) TrueCrypt, and e) BleachBit."
mircea_popescu: "I downloaded and installed OpenOffice,
a PDF reader" no srsly. this is ludicrous.
mircea_popescu: i dropped the link as
a response to your blog comment,
pankkake: still, probably
a bug somewhere
mircea_popescu: as prev discussed, those things are mostly
a teaching tool. the same reason you don't race cars made out of legos, you don't use the openpgp smartcard for actual security.
turbo_ac100: Or better yet: 1) buy lots of mcxFEE (only 1 BTC!!!) 2) get pay-banned
a lot 3) profit!!
kakobrekla: if id be
a part of bitcoinera and got new capital to invest from others, id invest it in bitcoinera, seems like
a sweet deal
kakobrekla: and make
a big tx to yourself with all that change
MTBmanTT: hmm, dont we pay
a tx fee if the tx is over
a certain amount anyway?
MTBmanTT: @jurov Can you elaborate
a little, do mean from like an inputs.io addy to your main? or the fees for the base payout from the faucet itself?
MTBmanTT: It really seems to me that the only way for
a new guy to get started is... exchanges/share buying, faucets, and buying btc locally.. mining just seems like an endless burden :\
jurov: isn't it wonderful such
a thing (airgapped mpex acct) is fully feasible?
MTBmanTT: is there
a site, or link somewhere I can go to,and read up on how
a newbie like me doesnt get taken to the cleaners? Some of these scam "companies" are convincing at times- wondering if somene made
a post about it
mircea_popescu: here's
a trilemma for y'all : either monucleosis or bisexuality.
jcpham: better than
a quadlema
jcpham: what the hell is
a trilema anyways
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo jborkl_ by the way, someone should make
a complete history of labcoin. like
a post-mortem. all those juicy quotes in the forum and whatnot... splendid story for the future generations.
mircea_popescu: trilema lets you read like 5 articles
a week or some shit. i forget exactly.
MTBmanTT: like browser cookie, or go down the street n buy
a snack while im reading
a while?
mircea_popescu: that link is only relevant in the context of
a previous discussion we were having, re some other blown exchange.
mircea_popescu: [17:56:39] shareholder3_ agree with da2ce7, its
a different, larger market the new GLBSE would operate in
ThickAsThieves: it's sorta like looking down the barrel of
a gun and pulling the trigger to see why it isnt working
ThickAsThieves: it's due to shallow thought, most people don't attempt to think more than
a layer or two deep on things
mircea_popescu: college kid wants
a roadster. the sort of car for him is not
a roadster, he's about to get married and have kids.
nubbins`: although TBH most of the americans i met while travelling were
a-ok
nubbins`: followed by darting eyes and
a mumbled "hashish?"
jurov: i'm not interested to be
a clown
jurov: litereally they asked me in
a hostel on checkout why i did not talk much so anyone
jurov: i dream of such travel sometimes and even tried
a bit.. but then it comes to communication and that drives me crazy
nubbins`: french also gives you access to
a lot of africa
nubbins`: if i didn't know
a word, i'd just say the french word with
a spanish accent
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: that's actually
a really good idea
nubbins`: colombia was great for this, nobody speaks
a fuckin word of english
nubbins`: and all your possessions in
a small backpack
