Namjies: The accusation is
a fact. If what you're accused of is true is not
a fact.

a reptillian
Namjies: But in any case, the article says Bitcoin has been accused of being
a ponzi... not that it meets the definition of
a ponzi.

a position many people are in.

a pretty reasonable way to protect yourself if you have $ and want btc.

a job. He's unemployed apparently

a result of this trip. If you were considering buying shares of S.DICE, you may want to do it quickly. Who knows what

a min here...
mod6: i dunno, just
a thought of
a different way to get everyone auth'd on the same host with their keys without having to rely on
a bot or 3rd party app
mod6: haha. i thought perhaps some of the auth stuff could be built into
a sortof OTC login model we're doing with gribble...
mircea_popescu: i never used it, but i recall vaguely it was because tech gave it
a neg report. this was years ago
mod6: we all liked it
a lot -- its all encrypted by default, etc

a fuck im just trying to get payed for excessive commenting.

a count of lines in the text of the program's source code including comment lines. Blank lines are also included unless the lines of code in

a retarded user

mod6: It blows my mind that any machine that exists on public IP space currently, and is in
a legacy OS setup wouldn't already be compromised.
Namjies: But you know there's
a few businesses out there that update their software every 20 years or so. An that's almost not an hyperbole.
Namjies: Yeah, well as I said, those scripts don't work so well when you want to attack
a specific server.
mircea_popescu: i can tell by
a few pixels and also the very particular time distribution
Namjies: If you scan at large for machines to hack, I'm sure some guy with
a single website on
a small machine has not updated since then...
pigeons: it comes about from not having to have any discretion i think. "oh i'm using some wndows botnet, who cares if i lose it". also oh i'll run

mircea_popescu: funny enough tho, diesel was at
a premium (cause of tanks)
Namjies: there's
a ban on fillament lightbulbs in Europe?
mircea_popescu: there's
a ban on fillament lightbulbs ? they're sold in the stores. fuck you, eu.
mircea_popescu: i am against all action when that action doesn't have
a moral and legitimate profit reason.
