mircea_popescu: never before has it actually been millions of dollars in cash for ddosing
a target.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that even if you aren't trying to do
a 50% attack, it is now more lucrative to ddos someone than to increase your mining farm.
VanCleef: < mircea_popescu> H<HpankkakeH>H so kenilworthnothing is
a scam? << it's an amazing business minus the
mircea_popescu: anyway, forget about power rangers. here : The programmer’s wife tells him: “Run to the store and pick up
a loaf of bread. If they have eggs, get
a dozen.”. He comes back with 12 loaves of bread.
mircea_popescu: please pay attention to me because i hjave
a proven track record of having accidentally forked the chain and i really suck at coding"
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> so kenilworthnothing is
a scam? << it's an amazing business minus the amazing and the business part.
Vexual: there was
a storm on the 3rd, i might be wrong
Vexual: your dad made
a machine
jurov: as
a result of half-assed research?
Vexual: as
a bonus you get to knpow the direction to avoid
Vexual: ill grant you its more kinds or irony than
a trilemma post, but just like them, don't lose no sleep
jurov: you mean like we "don't have to" buy
a recognized ssl certificate?
Vexual: hey i made
a disruptive thing, im audi
Vexual: except satoshi didnt keep getting
a paycheck
jurov: not
a single word who shall manage the root certificate
jurov: But concerns over certificate security irritate Hearn. “The reality is that [certificate technology] is the best we’ve got, it’s being improved via initiatives like cert transparency, and it has
a track record of stopping worst case adversaries.”
Vexual: yes i mean
a coronal ejection from the sun
Vexual: no riddles today, theres
a solar storm coming in three days
Vexual: manila, now there you buy
a $10 license and its cod machine pistols
Vexual: i imagine one can be
a gentleman and own
a gun in romania, but i might be wrong
Vexual: the kind of thing that stops
a conversation abruptly
Vexual: i imagine he had
a german made 45 pistol
Vexual: im gonna have to get
a gun like mp if i keep talking shit on the internet
Vexual: kenilworth is
a mining lease taken out on
a family farm with no intention of ever mining or allowing it to be mined, if there's even anything there
pankkake: I have
a hard time understanding your points
Vexual: and i'd say if the ira was
a bother to uncle sam, their names might ring bells with prism
Vexual: its about what one would expect with
a speculative mining lease multiplied by bitcoin 2013
Vexual: i dont think its
a scam by australian standards, but i'm guessing if they wanted they could chase burnside for more money
pankkake: so kenilworthnothing is
a scam?
Vexual: kennilworth investors bought the operators
a landcruiser and some salaries
pankkake: "Now, I I only had
a government..."
Vexual: weve got fucking wedge tailed eagles which are way more boss, and would beast
a bald eagle in any competition imaginable except baldness, and we just go about our business and don't parade our awesome eagles much very oft at all
Vexual: its people and acres and
a spirit of innovation
Vexual: is america still
a thing?
Vexual: its
a pity how all the good shit is fully funded
Vexual:
a funny thing i have noticed about university et al, is that professors will get students to write and submit papers that for the basis of what they want to say later
mircea_popescu: The whole enterprise of counting publications as
a means to evaluating research excellence is pernicious and completely absurd. If
a 12 year-old were to write 'I fink that Enid Blyton iz bettern than that Emily Bronte bint cos she has written loads more books' then one could reasonably excuse the spelling as reflective of the stupidity of the mind that produced the content. What we now have in academia is
a situation
mircea_popescu: esp when it's
a 55 year model extrapolated through the use of purpose-tailored math.
Vexual: That is good to hear, I am having
a quiet evening watching
a sliver of the moon sitting on
a beautiful sunset. It feels as though everything is right in the world.
[\]: kakobrekla's
a slow cummer
nejon: he is running the exchange with known identity and he is making
a lot of money already with the bitfury equipment
nejon: I'm leaning towards the ipo not being
a scam because leszek does really have more to lose than win if he would be involved in that
dexX7: "in form of ipo's"... sounds more like
a project like the 100th mine
dexX7: product company first, rather than
a base for Bitcoin distribution."
dexX7: "The concept the selling of shares is blurring
a legal line, especially in the US. We are not sure if that model is possible within our boundaries. There is also the issue regarding dealing with Bitcoin and converting to cash, thus becoming
a money service. We do not want to be in any grey area, and we want to be clear with our business model. The goal of CoinTerra is to be
a hardware
nejon: I've sent
a few emails but no response yet
nejon: he has made
a lot of money with bitfury
nejon: would be suprised if leszek was involved in
a scam
nejon: have
a friend who knows leszek
dexX7: maybe it's just
a transit address
nejon: quite
a lot of bitcoins on that account
nejon: "If You accept the IPO evaluation You can close it at
a selected price. After this You have 2 weeks to sign the sales contract with PicoStocks and submit the signed documents to the IPO office. If You miss this deadline the IPO will be canceled (the asset will be withdrawn from the system). You can also cancel the IPO any time yourself if You are not satisfied with the results and
dexX7: sure, but all it needs is
a word from cointerra to end it
dexX7: it's strange, because i wouldn't expect
a scammer pay 50 btc for something that could be busted within
a few minutes
dexX7: ukyo spends
a lot of coins for lawyers to make bf more legit
nejon: and that would make
a difference :D
pankkake: there's
a screenshot of the support ticket somewhere
pankkake: because cointerra said it's
a scam
gribble: ThickAsThieves was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 hours, 2 minutes, and 4 seconds ago: <ThickAsThieves>
a tor detector detector
dexX7: ThickAsThieves: do you have
a copy of am's latest statement made by the board? could you put it on pastebin or so?
pankkake: you're such
a simple minded psychopathic :)
dexX7: according to the messages he was scammed by them, too and he seems to be
a nice guy :)
dexX7: that was just
a faker
mircea_popescu: Sep 30 22:34:00 <zhenhua_wang>mircea_popescu: you are simple minded. sorry but your are
a psychopathic
dexX7: yeah, i saw some posts of him when i did
a quick search for alberto
mircea_popescu: he created
a fake "short" asset for pirate, he has
a long history of trying to be the "respectable" part of various scams.
dexX7: well, they have
a history going back to q3 2012 on the forums
pankkake: raise 7500 BTC, be
a cheap ass and don't pay for anything
mircea_popescu: which reminds me, haven't heard of the bitfinex thing in
a while.
knotwork: hmm what is this AVAtrade whose ad I just saw on facebook?
A onventional forex site now including bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: it would still not be anyonymous, which is in general
a much harder problem than cryptography. which is why bitcoin is secure but not anonymous, and why tor fails to deliver on anonymity etc.
mircea_popescu: in ssl, you acquire it on the basis that
a third party says its ok, much like the dns system.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, using pgp-style tools you have
a dedicated signature identification step. you somehow acquire my signature. such as, from me.
mircea_popescu: ssl only requires you have the server's public key. it's thus half
a protocol.
dexX7: yes, because it's via
a 3rd party
jurov: good. let's go ask reddit to sign
a petition for fbi to invest it into mpoe bonds
pankkake: ThickAsThieves: but you can't do anything about it (except create
a change.org thing?)
pankkake: someone is ddosing
a lot of pools
dexX7: I support the idea that the FBI should set up
a Bitcoin faucet to give these back to the community slowly. << well okay, that's
a cute idea
dexX7: i'm not that interested that stupid fbi guys unload 28k in
a market order =D
dexX7: pankkake: yes, that's the goal. there is
a 50 btc bounty for the one who can reconstruct the hack.
dexX7: so why are the forums still down? i mean, 90 % of all "job offers" are "i'm
a dev etc." posts. is the hole crew so uberleet?
kakobrekla: and
a message from our sponsor hypnotoad: buy stock.
mircea_popescu: did you run out of pixels or what happened to that
a ?
