pankkake: anyway, the tor list of isps is a good source even if you don't care for TOR
pankkake: for the same price you can probably get a dedicated server now
mircea_popescu: Arvixe (hosting) Openly and respectfully state that while they dont permit a TOR exit on shared hosting accounts, you are very welcome to run one on a VPS account.
pankkake: I'm running a relay on an EDIS node
asciilifeform: the fact of them sneaking a peek at your results if they feel like it is another matter.
asciilifeform: or if you're a cheapo you can just rent an Amazon EC2 instance.
asciilifeform: don't do it on a residential pipe.
Vexual: yeah im saving up for a new computer
pankkake: you mean a 9 in plug?
Vexual: can i get a 9 pin plug instread of usb? :)
asciilifeform: we have a session block cipher key for working slate in SRAM
mircea_popescu: because this isn't a cool thing, this is a useful thing.
mircea_popescu: the definitive protection to this is a) don't lose physical control of the stick and b) destroy the slate.
mircea_popescu: if you have physical control of the stick, you can remove the working slate, but still can't read it, because it has a cypher.
pankkake: and the worst thing is, it's not a big deal to fix. there is no reason to start going all like "it's not a problem"
mircea_popescu: hardly a goal. but anyway, let's go throuigh the thing to make sure we're all on the same page, har har.
pankkake: again, if your product has no instand erase of its decrypted contents, it loses a great deal of attractivity - telling users they have to shred themselves is far away from the goal of having an easy secure device
pankkake: "I don't know" is a better answer than "it's fine" when it's not
mircea_popescu: jurov there's a lot of sales copy there but i dunno how it's supposed to work/be implemented.
Vexual: nice. i couldnt think of a suitable h
mircea_popescu: the product is fine. you have an issue being somehow convinced you can design stuff while simultaneously not having a clue what rom is.
mircea_popescu: it does. if you are concerned about this point, copy a file repeatedly until the bits die, and so then it won't be.
pankkake: jurov: there is actually a better way: use a one-time-encryption key for the filesystem. each time you reboot it, it is effectively erased
mircea_popescu: consequently, you can trash the bits yourself by repeatedly copying/deleting a file to it.
mircea_popescu: so as to rpotect from a variety of snooping techniques such as diff analysis from the host.
mircea_popescu: pankkake maybe, but it'd be a diff product. this one separates itself from computer when touching the key,
mircea_popescu: jurov well hopefully it has a 8gb slate, it puts it right there
pankkake: and I don't think you can do that with a filesystem
pankkake: it would have to work in a "streaming" way
mircea_popescu: decription admittedly may take a minute at that size.
pankkake: how would it work, to encrypt a, say, 4 GB file?
mircea_popescu: that's a good usecase, you know ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake yeah the idea is, you can make a simple bash script to backup sites
Vexual: add a discharge cap to smoke the usb hub just for fun
jurov: asciilifeform: you have not considered adding a display? it's the thing i like about trezor
pankkake: well, I get the point of the device, but no backup is a dealbreaker for me
asciilifeform: bitesak: we have a winner.
FabianB: what's a zapper?
asciilifeform: only people I know who include the zapper are, well, classic NSA. and they don't have a retail store.
mircea_popescu: it's a laundry list.
mircea_popescu: as best i can see the smartcard is a sort of fun and games project, let's play with smartcards. it doesn't have the critical features such as separation of key from slate.
asciilifeform: anybody make one with a zapper?
Vexual: will the girlfriend christmas package include lingerie, your email and a digital camera?
mircea_popescu: that thing's a joke, really.
FabianB: mircea_popescu: so this is a simplified and bigger version of http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto-single.html ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: curious if anyone ran a knc thing for more than a week or so by now
bitesak: precisely, I was speaking about GPG with my gf and this would be a good christmas gift
pankkake: at least it wasn't a whale taking a dump
Vexual: not a mexican, just a rich dude with a tan
jborkl: and a rubber ducky
jborkl: I wonder why it is 3 white dudes and one mexican dude mining at a chinese pool?
mircea_popescu: bitesak they shall be assembled at a secret & undisclosed set of locartions
mircea_popescu: Cardano on a stick!
mircea_popescu: carry a bigger stick.
kakobrekla: without giving you a chance!
Vexual: a thin lead case perhaps, so one can be sure it's in ones pocket
mircea_popescu: and just open them with a purpose cardano.
mircea_popescu: in principle you could design your garage door/house door to take a usb stick
mike_c: still.. a straight up better replacement for securID?
mircea_popescu: this is a frontline itam. you go into enemy territory with it.
kakobrekla: yeah its a serious device for serious security but its so serious you cant have backups and so its not usable for serious stuff.
mircea_popescu: anyway, we'll get a better idea as to how reliable the things are after they've been in the wild a year or two. atm all i can say is they should be pretty reliable.
mircea_popescu: well yes, using a device of this type for that purpose seems like you're asking for trouble.
Namworld: If the cardano breaks, you're out of shares and need to pay for a new account.
kakobrekla: except if you reg a new key
mircea_popescu: it can be, sure, but if you don't trust it you can just use it as a sub to your main key which you keep traditionally.
mircea_popescu: Namworld master doesn't have to be a cardano necessarily.
mircea_popescu: sorta use the cardano as a subbie in that context.
kakobrekla: my copy is on paper and on a safe place
mircea_popescu: i think the better solution is to use a master and sign a cardano for the move.
Namworld: So he can keep using it/store it/transfer it to a replacement device
Kleeck_: Of, possibly, a female.
Kleeck_: Yes, and a breast.
mircea_popescu: it's a... bird.
mircea_popescu: that's because you don't know what a boobie is.
Kleeck_: The USG is spending more money trying to prove that the "shutdown" is a big deal.
mircea_popescu: well, get a government that's not shutdown
jborkl: Off to the store to hopefully find one that isn't an arm and a leg on such short notice."
ThickAsThieves: you'll get a kick out of the headshots for the vegas conference
ThickAsThieves: i bet the salary = you get to be a founder!
pankkake: wait they have a job offer for a third "founder and c?o" lol
kakobrekla: Meni Rosenfeld. has a new thing
ThickAsThieves: it's a tricky area, as i myself have been in a position before of having profitable things i no longer wanted
zoinky: that site brings in 2k a month?
nospinzy: and pay out a dividen
nospinzy: a fund to buy websites
nospinzy: anything that is a good price
ThickAsThieves: we have a plan we've been executing
ThickAsThieves: we've been working hard behind the scenes to legitimize our role into a real bitcoin investment bank
ThickAsThieves: we have a decision tree we have to climb through
ThickAsThieves: so now that we caught up on processing all the migration data, we encountered a technical limitation with Bitfunder and we will have to require ALL TAT.ASICMINER migrators from BTCT to resubmit their info using a Havelock account
ThickAsThieves: this is a turtle market
nubbins`: only two funds have a 7-day volume > 100 btc
_mjoiii: No no not me, I've been w Havelock all along and happy to have a Canadian option. Just can't buy or sell much without affecting prices.
_mjoiii: Anyone know of a method for tracking the transfers to Havelock?
_mjoiii: Guys a plea for help...
bitesak: easydns claims to be a NSA-Free Zone :) and actually seems to be standing up to this farce
