mircea_popescu: tho it seems unlikely they would even read it, seeing how book publishers 20 years ago didn't read all the manuscripts they got
mircea_popescu: sure, the guardian may want to have a random info dead drop, and i guess they may even read it
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids so fyck you then, why am i talking to you ?
mircea_popescu: jurov not in the same sense, is it ? nat is unnecessary overhead in the sense shoes are unnecessary overhead.
mircea_popescu: i'm saying that it is a design with massive overhead for dubious reasons.
mircea_popescu: the whole point of the bitcoin code was to prototype an idea, not to be used for srs.
mircea_popescu: hey dub, what if all internet traffic henceforth needed 4 tunnels built up per connection ?
mircea_popescu: just gpg the package and send it over. i definitely like fabian's cjdns much more
mircea_popescu: see, this is why i say it fails : the overhead imposed by all the sha(sha(sha(sha bs to keep metadata secret from downstream hops
mircea_popescu: In I2P, tunnels are unidirectional. Each party builds two tunnels, one for outbound and one for inbound traffic. Therefore, four tunnels are required for a single round-trip message and reply.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i'm just codgery and will find random things to bitch about
mircea_popescu: since i do more business than gossip... i'm not so impressed with onion and garlic and so on.
mircea_popescu: now, the security provided by ;;ident is necessary for business. the security provided by otr is necessary for gossip
mircea_popescu: cause if you didn't i'd guess it's possible the forging aditional messages may mean something even for your threat model :)
mircea_popescu: did you just tell me you're promising to pay 10 btc for a stuffed dollie five minutes ago ?
mircea_popescu: i'm by no means saying otr is bad or anything. i use it extensively for that matter
mircea_popescu: this is reflected in many implementations - you can generally find plaintext logs of old otr convos if you dig up your log dir.
mircea_popescu: basically, otr guarantees stuff for during a conversation. not really for after it closes.
mircea_popescu: "Anyone can forge messages after a conversation to make them look like they came from you. However, during a conversation, your correspondent is assured the messages he sees are authentic and unmodified."
mircea_popescu: it doesn't make the gpg guarantee that old conversations can never be read by third parties.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids otr makes exactly two guarantees : that only your intended recipient can read your next line, and that should someone obtain the plaintext of your communications they can't prove that it is in fact yours rather than theirs.
mircea_popescu: what, exactly ? so i feel like posting nudes one day. herpderp what, god forbid someone associates it ?
mircea_popescu: it's just this stupid thing everyone does because everyone's doing.
mircea_popescu: but i tell you... i am mp. i have always been mp. everyone else is fkghsgeiohgiurehg. to what gain and for what benefit ?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea if it does or doesn't and really can't be arsed to find out, cause what do i care.
mircea_popescu: don't use that term lol, it's a direct pastiche from romanian and in english it's a term of art with diff meaning.
mircea_popescu: someone they have in their wot should tell them this is prime rib of stupid. separate these.
mircea_popescu: except the kids doing stuff like onions, garlic and other vegetables.
mircea_popescu: and i think mixing together securitization of data and of metadata is an epic mistake.
mircea_popescu: tbh it seems to me all the enthusiasm of the darknet people is woefully misdirected.
mircea_popescu: i am strictly interested in keeping secret the messages passed back and forth.
mircea_popescu: i am not at all interested in keeping secret my identity.
mircea_popescu: you can't possibly deliver all those about apples, but keep all those about fish
mircea_popescu: well, if i give you a list of gpg messages encrypted to a bunch of my friend's keys
mircea_popescu: makes all route nodes unable to filter traffic, plain and simple.
mircea_popescu: you want an adressing scheme where the reading of packets depends on the destination's identity.
mircea_popescu: nah, you want an adressing scheme where the routing of packets depends on the destination's identity.
mircea_popescu: pretty secure crypto is like reasonably healthy whore.
mircea_popescu: not even compatible, mind you. pick port 90 and create a wholly and completely different thing.
mircea_popescu: tho an actually secure replacement for the web would be a decent use of bitcoin resources.
mircea_popescu: what business sends over its book just because someone wants to see it ?!
mircea_popescu: the only reasonable answer to this sort of crap being "get fucked"
mircea_popescu: dude srsly ? how is the us legal system still a thing ?
mircea_popescu: ssociated with Tidbit, a list of all websites running Tidbit's code and the name of anybody whose computer mined for Bitcoins through the use of Tidbit, although Tidbit's code was not configured to mine for Bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: But in December, the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs issued a subpoena to Rubin, requesting he turn over Tidbit's past and current source code, as well as other documents and agreements with any third parties. It also issued 27 interrogatories -- formal written questions -- requesting additional documents and ordering Rubin to turn over information like the names and identities of all Bitcoin wallet addresses a
mircea_popescu: they send you a pen, you film yourself fucking the pen and send the thing over
mircea_popescu: someone should just cut the gordian knot already and do SiPexchange.
mircea_popescu: one doesn't preclude the other and now you've jinxed it haven't you
mircea_popescu: im sorry i don't have a handy link to the 1905 study asking the population of manchester if they'd ever fly across the atlantic in a plane.
mircea_popescu: yeah, probably the head of the boss of whatever mob family paid for his position would work better.
mircea_popescu: they keep trying comebacks, but they aren't getting anywhere with them. meanwhile they bleed marketshare on good days, and they get taken out wholesale now and again.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the destruction of the original scumfest (the people gorupped around blf, bitcoinica, mtgox, the foundation) is the best thing that can happen for btc.
mircea_popescu: pLambert this is more of a nominalist thing than anything. bitcoin's long term prospects w/o mtgox are way better than with it.
mircea_popescu: davout even if it only goes down a little through mtgox being taken out of the basket.
