mircea_popescu: other than the numerous deliberate sabotages, tor fails in a game theoretic manner - no incentive to participate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually this should work as a proper tor relay for gossipd.
asciilifeform: choice lulz, '...The other incident raises more serious concerns regarding Tor Project’s obligation to ensure a safe and comfortable work environment, especially as regards an environment that is unwelcoming or hostile to protected classes of community members. In this case, you made statements that implied that new community members were recruited in a sexually charged manner. This was made during the course of a Tor Project-sanct
asciilifeform: hopefully he does it with shaheed knapsack in tor hq also.
asciilifeform: ( https://cryptome.org/2016/06/tor-appelbaum-separation.pdf << whole thing, apparently. )
asciilifeform: 'There are strong indications that the website was created by Tor Project contractors and/or employees. Today, the website says "Before launch, we had placeholder text for the initial site design which we did not expect to become public. We never meant to impersonate Jake or to trick anyone." but the original tweet button (which many people clicked) produced a tweet saying "I just read on @ioerror's homepage ..." which shows this to
asciilifeform: 'Prior to publishing https://blog.torproject.org/blog/statement The Tor Project requested that Jacob Appelbaum sign the attached separation agreement which includes a "mutual nondisparagement" clause and an agreement that he will not sue the Tor Project. After he declined to sign the agreement, they published their statement which is a blanket endorsement of any anonymous claims made against him.'
asciilifeform: one obvious possibility is that he had second thoughts re pushing the tor chumpatron.
shinohai: One of the tor project developers.
mircea_popescu: hahaha so i don't fucking get it... they get to keep pretending that tor's not schweizer, and what's the derp get ?
Framedragger: i think i once contacted them about running a tor exit node there, they had said well if you put in your own reverse dns info for the ip block we give you then we 100% don't give a shit
Framedragger: vc: it's cool that you don't preemptively block tor. (on that note, fuck cloudflare with a thousand rakes).
Framedragger: Scanning ports is forbidden on our network. We cannot even do some exeption in our anti-hack detecting system just for your server." <- this is e.g. kimsufi/OVH who are otherwise not complete govt bitches (they appeal court orders, ran wikileaks servers, lots tor exit nodes etc - not to say that this amount to too much)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger tor is uselessly slow
Framedragger remembers he has a disposable tor exit node on digitalocean, can use that one
trinque: they should get that Tor chick this time
shinohai: tor is only gtood for making lulzy Qntra articles!
shinohai: tor convo again? (-_\) #facepalm
Framedragger suspects mircea_popescu is baiting him about tor because he remembers those comments on trilema where framedragger said "evidence or gtfo mircea" ;)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger much like many many stupiud people use tor.

BingoBoingo: Wait so her, Appelbaum and all the other "exiled" Tor developers are in German?
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor we use rsa over http. https is about as useful/functional as tor.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck even bother with https already. it's insecure, we know this.they don't even cursory make an attempt. what's next, go on tor ?
mircea_popescu: ah, and obviously - fully dedicated to "safety in tor"
asciilifeform: model has proven remarkably durable despite the constant wearying turmoil of exit-scams and hacks and as I write this in mid-July 2015, there seems to be little chance that things will change substantially soon. (If Tor hidden services are cracked, the DNMs will simply move to I2P or Freenet; if Bitcoin starts getting too easily tracked, transactions will be settled in Monero or another cryptocoin with better anonymity properties, et

asciilifeform: 'Prince suggests that the incidents of CAPTCHA-challenge could be reduced if Tor adopted a plugin that could send ‘a cryptographically secure but anonymous token to services like CloudFlare in order to verify that the request is not coming from an automated system’.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-02-2016#1403785 << the lulziest part there is that there's this entire subculture of tor punks. ☝︎
mats: even better when you remember the tor browser bundle is built on top of firefox ☟︎
maqp: Why not instead have a public repository of all public keys similar to Tor
maqp: But if you find Tor insecure and suspect someone is remotely breaching for example your Tails live session
maqp: I'll have to read the article. Tor sucks slides indicate it puts up a fight even against FVEY agencies
mircea_popescu: but anyway, tor has a miserable reputation here, publicly due to http://trilema.com/2013/dear-guardian-stop-being-retarded/ but otherwise ancient.
mircea_popescu: that was my point : that if he was going to barf over tor, which doesn't actually matter or significantly touch the scheme, might as well pick any other random unrelated item
mircea_popescu: rather than tor
ascii_rear: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-02-2016#1398951 << tor?! ☝︎
BingoBoingo: ioerror dude is tor developer. Bothering likely goes straight to fort meade
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: its "the tor project" they can't fit all of that into a single bozobit. Requires a whole base58 encoded xml bozo turd.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this significantly changes the bozo bit on "the tor project" from "don't install that shit" to "don't install that shit".
BingoBoingo: lol, the Tor 'Tails' distro switched to systemd now
fluffypony: Tor says unable to connect
copypaste: But before he was doing that, he was making a distributed chan using the NNTP protocol and Tor/I2P

asciilifeform: to other .onion nodes if the control socket can be successfully opened. This will positively affect the number of available .onion nodes and their usage. This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and a connection to Tor can be made.' << l0l!!
asciilifeform: 'Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically. Bitcoin Core has been updated to make use of this. This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available), Bitcoin Core automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without manual configuration. Bitcoin Core will also use Tor automatically to connect

mircea_popescu: so far all the efforts went more in the line of the earlierly discussed tor : nobody uses it but we keep pretending yet the propaganda machine's in place,
mircea_popescu: "That contrary to planted disinformation of which the Guardian article is a fine example, the NSA has complete and unlimited, instantaneous access to any and all information passed through the TOR network in its entirety, as a matter of course and by design."
mircea_popescu: funny how "everyone" pretends tor is actually somehow a thing.
shinohai: After reading the comments, it appears to be collective insanity. I don't run core anymore anyway but bolting on tor kills it.
