anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I tried to prevent a situation like this...
mircea_popescu: mod6 didja do some hand-helping in there ?
mod6: mircea_popescu: thanks :]
mircea_popescu: dun tell me there's some dudes right over the horizon ganging together to beat me up ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aha - isn't it beautiful? it looks exactly like the graph in my head when i wrote 'v'
mircea_popescu: <anton_osika> By the people who understand the situation. << by the who ?
anton_osika: ^the magic of digital trust.
mircea_popescu: o wow check it out, he actually managed the level enforcement. nice stuff mod6 !
anton_osika: There is a Kraken PGP key here that a lot of people that hold their trust (even in forms of assets) dearly to it . Those people would forever lose some of the trust for you.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I re-read the contract, and the system of trust should prevent egoistic interpretations of contracts.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> who saw the palaces and ludicrous 'stotting' << sure, i'm privy to teh arab wastage.
mats: that's not how the wot works
mircea_popescu: omg the highlights
anton_osika: ascii_field: I do not need any trust at all to damage MP:s trust.
anton_osika: I am the long party and have independent verification of this by others with recognised trust.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu wrote the contract for the cause of delivery, right?
shinohai: And how exactly is your credibility worth more than mircea_popescu 's?
ascii_field: anton_osika: iirc mircea_popescu explained specifically, earlier, that he would lose credibility among the people who matter if he ~did~ pay.
anton_osika: and this is a piss in the ocean for upholding ones credibility for mircea_popescu .
anton_osika: BingoBoingo: Depends on what the contract should constructively be interpreted by. Unless MP stands by his word and take the one and only claimed deposit address (by the freenode authed antonosika as well as the holder of the bitcoin wallet) mircea_popescu will lose credibility by people who agree to my interpretation of what the cause of a future delivery
mats: if you image the device, i'd be happy to attempt recovery for a modest fee if i'm successful
BingoBoingo: At least anton_osika In the even you manage to uncorrupt your backup Kraken is no longer in a position to take deliver in your place by signing from the outgoing BTC address.
BingoBoingo: anton_osika: And further to the point, I don't think Kraken is in any position to attest to anything seeing how it is the USG appointed tool for distributing MtGox's carcass
shinohai: punkman: trust me, being here opened my eyes to how inept I was with gpg
thestringpuller: We saw how well the move to CSS benefited GLBSE
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: just saw a commercia for ETrade creating a browser only platform for trading. Made me laugh outloud here in the airport cause, well is etrade et. al. going to become the new play exchanges?
BingoBoingo: anton_osika: That doesn't seem to solve the problem of inability to sign a delivery address with that public key, even if Kraken attests to it.
ascii_field: anton_osika: ever read the story (or watch the film based on it) - 'the cold equations' ?
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 19:57:21; anton_osika: mircea_popescu: could lose some lifetime trust on this one however.
punkman: shinohai: your master key hadn't signed the subkeys? how does that happen?
mod6: <+ascii_field> see if you can make the patch names clickable links << i'll see what I can do. thx.
anton_osika: By the people who understand the situation.
shinohai: asciilifeform: If you have time later, would appreciate assistance with the key issue you brought to my attention last week.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: could lose some lifetime trust on this one however. ☟︎
ascii_field: see if you can make the patch names clickable links
ascii_field: mod6: this is beautiful and ought to be on the www.
ascii_field: nobody gets trusted for showing up.
mod6: well, can't get the directional thing correct unless I use graphviz :/ http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/vpatch-nodes.png
anton_osika: Either you actively distrust Kraken.com and make ~no~payment. Or you fulfill your part of the contract as well as possible.
ascii_field: but i know enough to say that it will be a problem here.
anton_osika: Such a thing is not a problem in any serious contract that I would write in a business situation.
anton_osika: asciilifeform: Depends on what the contract is saying.
ascii_field: 'The verification relies on the credibility of a group of well reputed people, or a “bank” if you have to call it that: Kraken.com. The statement states what identity made the transaction to your account.' << this is a problem.
assbot: Letter to Mircea Popescu - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1KdEIna )
anton_osika: I have proof of being the long party as specified
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I re read the contract you wrote
anton_osika: thx thestringpuller.
ascii_field: ;;later tell mod6 a more readable graph could omit genesis node.
thestringpuller: but it seems far more flimsy than a crypto record
thestringpuller: then you know that event likley occurred
thestringpuller: sure if six niggas is like "Yo i saw this nigga do some hood shit at my buddy moes"
ascii_field: thestringpuller: if you deal with sufficiently many people that your memory cannot fit them perfectly, your wot is not strictly a meatwot.
thestringpuller: ascii_field: because niggas be forgetful and shit. if you're just saying "Well i trust this nigga cause of xyz" it's by word of mouth i.e. memory rather than something digitally recorded
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 14:01:15; mircea_popescu: which leaves phuctor in dire need of a new home. unless anyone comes forward with something (hey jurov what's the word there ?) i guess ima get another box at another dubious provider
jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1274490 sory, i'll pass on, looks like it's not a priority at all for these people i wanted to do it together with ☝︎
thestringpuller: mats: in my perspective it seems the meatwot is more easily susceptible sybil attacks than one enforced with the principle governing gpg contracts
ascii_field: thestringpuller: as mircea_popescu pointed out, i am abusing the term to refer to meatspace business circles
thestringpuller: i still don't think a meatwot can exist
ascii_field: (as may have been the case with 'snowden-2', though these were not exploits in the sense meant in this thread)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it is possible sometimes, from the overall flavour of the items, for hitler to ferret out whom to shoot.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: re: repeated sales of exploits, there are also opsec considerations.
thestringpuller: re: meatwot, don't think one exist since memory if fallible
ascii_field: re: meatwot, all i meant was that i personally know a fella, who i trust to describe what he saw, who saw the palaces and ludicrous 'stotting'
ascii_field: and access to 'turkeys' approximately as fast as they can be produced.
ascii_field: was trying to point out that the folks who 'make nothing' (true!) have pretty much infinite money.
ascii_field: but there was a time when i got caffeinated goop from vending machines, at uni.
mircea_popescu: just saying, expenditure's not the measure of the world. but anyway.
ascii_field: not these days.
mircea_popescu: shit, you actually do that every day ?! IT'S BAD FOR YOU
mircea_popescu: for that matter, i spent a million like you spend a dollar in a coke machine.
mircea_popescu: so then don't mix improperly.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field are you in a position to negrate this "degree-1" "meatwot" ?
ascii_field: not through legend.
mircea_popescu: you're to tell your jokes freely as much as possible, so as to learn how it works.
ascii_field: saudi brass spend a million usd like i spend a dollar in a coke machine. and i know this through degree-1 meatwot.
mircea_popescu: for as long as you don't have a method to make them laugh, you're not to epxect to be paid for your "Comedian services".
mircea_popescu: anyway. this entire "if you only got one and don't know how you got it, either - you therefore must publish" thing is exactly because that's how one learns.
mircea_popescu: ie, they find 0 days ?
ascii_field: because on the planet where i live, the richest folk, as far as naked eye can see, are resource extractors
ascii_field: how does this work ?
ascii_field: so what, saudi golden toilet is leaden somehow ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field they can beg all they want, it's adequate to them.
mircea_popescu: apparently the web doesn't have the quote. something like "my dear, i'm going out to find my pride. and if i ever find it, we'll see if it's still worth a damn to either of us."
ascii_field: also saud et al will beg to differ that 'you cannot sell what you do not make'
mircea_popescu: not only a gorgeous 20something liz taylor, but also
ascii_field: because afaik most of the serious money is in the hands of inheritors even now.
ascii_field: i think it is necessary to put on magic glasses, which i don't have, to see 'poor inheritors'
mircea_popescu: then the afid needs an ant.
mircea_popescu: or else he can not make them, just found some meteor, in which case he has no business being a seller. because nobody may sell what he can't make.
ascii_field: it is entirely possible to find a potential exploit in the course of unrelated work. developing it into an ACTUAL exploit takes sweat.
mircea_popescu: either he can make them, at some rate whatever it may be, but nonzero (even if it's so low in the end it ends up being 0), and then he has a business being a seller.
ascii_field: i'm not speaking theoretically, either
mircea_popescu: this precludes any bothering. because bothering is a thing of work, which is a reason to suspect.
mircea_popescu: mno. words have meanings. " no reason to suspect he will ever have more".
mircea_popescu: it's provably the best usage, if you don't secrete it.
ascii_field: why bother digging it out of the ground to begin with ?
ascii_field: give the plutonium away for free to the first idiot pastebin reader who comes along, aha.
mircea_popescu: and he should just play the good researcher and publish it.
mircea_popescu: but the caveat being that if seller has exactly one, and no reason to suspect he will ever have more, this entire thing is a wot. aka, waste of time.
mircea_popescu: and if seller doesn't want to burn one, seller can just ask (PRIVATELY) friends to rate it.
