mircea_popescu: "Because almost all of the cryptographic algorithms we use do not hold up to information-theoretic security. They can “only” offer computational security. The two exceptions that come to my mind are Shamir's Secret Sharing and the One-time pad. And while the first one may be a valid counterpoint (if you actually intend to use it), the latter is utterly impractical."
mircea_popescu: o wait, he doesn't mean "quantum", he just means micro, as in subatomic. nm.
mircea_popescu: jurov well here we go "I believe that the “gold standard” for “true randomness” are quantum effects."

mircea_popescu: well, so did anyone actually bother to track this BTC-GROWTH marvel ?
mircea_popescu: that's what threw me, cause i had no recollection of the entire thing
mircea_popescu: and you know, if you quote a log include a date, a link, something.
mircea_popescu: i think he spends some time as a princess in a special happy place
mircea_popescu: would have assured "investors" "make roi and then some" or what was the expression
mircea_popescu: asicminer went from 5 to .5, so therefore my deadbeat "investment" which went from 1 to .3 in the interval
mircea_popescu: "In retrospect, it's quite funny how some of the folks laughed at those selling ASICMiner to buy into BTC Growth, given that at the end of the day, those who adopted exactly that strategy wound up with roughly 275% as much money in their accounts than those who stuck with the former darling of the mining world."

mircea_popescu: see the earlier linked misadventure of dr foreskin on the topic
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i doubt there's much overlap in demographics.
mircea_popescu: let the record reflect that i'm working on a foot long baba ghanoush sub
