mircea_popescu: Disclaimer: I don't know the much about stock/shares, etc and I don't have the ability to program such a complex piece of software – but I believe I can make it happen and think this is currently a good idea. Please critque my idea. I'm open minded about all of it.

KRS-1: I'm about to go back to forex
mircea_popescu: i'm just saying, a relationship of trust isn't a weakpoint per se. it can be a strongpoint.
mircea_popescu: optimator i don't even mean you personally
optimator: ha! idk, i just see it as an issue - maybe just me - sure
optimator: mircea_popescu: I agree your model works, but if, in my example, c does bad stuff - I don't think you can tell. You simple have trusted others in the chain
optimator: how about firmware signed with their public key. I have to trust they exchanged it with A who exchanged it with B that finally gets to me
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I sincerely hope you're joking
optimator: no that's where I *trust*
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't seem to have much trouble buying a computer
optimator: following the example... if I want to transfer money via wire to another bank, then my bank establishes a relationship with bank b. I trust the key exchange has worked. Bank b is X+2. For X-n the WoT breaks down
mircea_popescu: i don't think it's anything of the sort.
mircea_popescu: optimator for some reason i don't see the problem you see ?
optimator: how do I get their public key?
optimator: how do I know my banking site is *really* my banking site
mircea_popescu: but i mean *strictly*.
mircea_popescu: i thought that;'s where you made it.
dub: but.. thats where I spend it?
mircea_popescu: i guess in the competition for "worst idea to date" they're all winners.
optimator: wasn't it all? I mean what could go wrong with a local hosts file?
mircea_popescu: i mean when it was originally introduced it was like... fuck this shit, nobody cares, it's for some blog.
mircea_popescu: i don't think she actually understood before what sessions are and how they work
optimator: "If mircea trusts me with BTC I cant be too much of a fuckup." optimator wipes tear
mircea_popescu: "Edit2: I was finally able to log into my account and found an API key with full rights to everything. I never made one, wtf does this mean?"
mircea_popescu: http://www.bitcoiney.com/psa-i-had-480-stolen-out-of-my-mt-gox-account-this-morning-despite-having-2-factor-identification-here-is-what-happened
asciilifeform: and if you find a fresh one, I do hope you have better sense than to tell us.
mircea_popescu: o i see
asciilifeform: ok, wasn't me this time. but "I approve of this message (tm)"
mircea_popescu: i was actually thinking, is this our d friend ?
asciilifeform: did I write that?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform except i never use a site over https anyway
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the ideea is, suppose i pass all my traffic through your controlled relay
mircea_popescu: i don't think it has anything to do with the 2fa mtgox issue but anyway
asciilifeform: I'll mention one example from places far away. In certain countries, doctored root certs are routinely placed into default ms-windows installs wherever possible.
dub: I have to run 8 year old java versions
mircea_popescu: Used bitcoin-qt and litecoin-qt. For the wallets, those encryption passwords were from memory. The truecrypt password, I always copied and pasted the password from a text file, on a USB drive, inside a password protected winrar file, inside of a password protected winrar file, inside of a password protected winrar file, totaling 3 different password protected rars to reach the .txt file.
asciilifeform: feel free to interpret my silence as proof that I'm full of shit, but personally I'm rather fond of living.
mircea_popescu: "I figured if I was ever the victim of a wallet stealing program, implementing a dummy in the default location would fool it and upload it, rather than my real one, to the attackers choice, but I was wrong."
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: "I know I've found this one thing that I just have to download and install Java for, then totally forget or put off uninstalling it afterwards, many a time."
mircea_popescu: "I haven't nor will I ask for donations. This truly sucks for me, but I only want to find out how this happened. I wish I could see the code/method used for educational purposes. Fuck people who steal. I strive for bitcoins and litecoins to gain popularity among the masses and become an accepted currency in societies eyes." ☟︎
optimator: mircea_popescu: it's very interesting - I like the conclusion of the time the wallet was stolen
optimator: asciilifeform: no - and it kinda freaks me out. I think SSL cert authentication through a PKI is a gapping hole
optimator: but I agree I like my own entropy over someone else's - I like my own brand :)
mircea_popescu: I used a random 64 character ASCII character password from this site for my truecrypt password.
mircea_popescu: optimator the reason girl said anything/i'm leading some credence to the claim of 2fa is because this isn't the first case i've heard.
asciilifeform: not that I believe the linked thread to be evidence of such, mind you
mircea_popescu: i have yet to see any indication of such wonder in practice.
asciilifeform: I study trojans for money. Most BTC botnets, for example, are quite pitiful (a handful of GH/sec.)
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone actually visited the guy's apartment
asciilifeform: damned if I know how many times. how many people would even admit that this happened to them, if it had
mircea_popescu: i still need to see someone argue convincingly that goxlag is bad for bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: im not sure i follow that bullet analogy
asciilifeform: I described several "easy" recipes as to how, at one point.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reasoning is that basically bitcoin is a sort of morphism on the fiat world, and i am pretty convinced by now that the 51% attack is the local equivalent of the market cornering problem.
mircea_popescu: i think actual 51% past this point is an impossibility
mircea_popescu: i don't think so.
ThickAsThieves: okay i closed and reopened and all is well now
ThickAsThieves: i see the other
ThickAsThieves: it shows 1 tx i was expecting
ThickAsThieves: so if i look up my wallet on blockchain
mircea_popescu: i mean it looked fucking weird as all hell for a coupla hours there, but...
ThickAsThieves: can i still be mad at devs?
ThickAsThieves: so i skimmed, but essentially we have a weird empty block, likely malicious intent, and possible fork?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm putting it off to string of extremely unlikely coincidences.
ThickAsThieves: i'm mobile but did mpex withdrawals not go out yet?
ezdiy: optimator: i think some json api for pools would be in order
ezdiy: well, i see why its done like its done
optimator: ezdiy: yeah, maybe. I think you are coming at it from the bitcoind level and I'm coming at it from the json-rpc level
ezdiy: i call lazy
optimator: i see it as rewarding them for their work on the network
ezdiy: i'm surprised theres no bloody murder scream from users about 1-tx blocks
mircea_popescu: i see two chains.
ezdiy: (i highly doubt its was just an innocent coincidence, as the chances are <1% of block gap occuring so conveniently)
mircea_popescu: i'm confused.
