ascii_field: mircea_popescu: understand, if i'm merely
thick and you can describe a working mechanism, people ~will~ use...
mircea_popescu: seller has a minimum of
two 0 days. he creates a wot account for
the purpose of selling
these and future ones indefinitely. seller publishes one freom
that account as a proof, announces he has more, explains what it costs. sends it encrypted once gets paid. gets rated. what's
the big deal.
mircea_popescu: stop
trying
to force
the inept mental jump on me. i am neither inept nor am i making it.
ascii_field: in
this example, i'm just an earthworm. watching.
ascii_field: will you rate
the 10,001st one when 10,000 renege ?
mircea_popescu: yes it works once. how many
times do you want it
to work.
mircea_popescu: suppose someoine who isn't us registers 0day_bourbaky in
the wot.
mircea_popescu: and by uncomfortable i mean,
the places where yo ususpect
the solution may lie.
ascii_field: humour me, say i want
to sell an 0day
today.
mircea_popescu: for all you know it can literally say "i don't
trust him".
ascii_field: so i generate a new key. but, you will say, next buyer will not deal with a nobody ?
then why would
they have dealt with me earlier ?
ascii_field: let's say it does not. so i renege and pastebin
the exploit i just sold. vendor negrates me: '-10, poopyhead, can't say why publicly'
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Anyways last week
there was nearly identical spam floating around under Pantera Capital's name. Spam's not really news.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field couldja for five minutes stop with
this "i know how
things are in direct proportion of how little i know about
them" ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Just
that lingering doubt is why I'm going
to keep digging for other stuff
to consider qntra-ing up
shinohai: "Si
te sientes guapa" <<< LOL
that's all it
takes ....
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i'm not sure why such a concern would be of any interest.
this "fund" is not represented in
the wot. consequently, any piece of email purportying
to be from
them ACTUALLY IS every
time
that is detrimental
to
them
ascii_field: otherwise i would have
to include
the cost of an army in my price
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Will look into it, but
there has been "masquerade" spamming lately. Hard
to
tell if actual impersonation
though or plausible deniability scam
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: you ever heard of
the-transaction-cant-be-public ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field> and what is ~his~ assurance
that i won't immediately pastebin
the goods << you ever heard of
teh wot ?
assbot: The pseudo-Bitcoinsphere feels just as squishy-poo as
the Romanian pseudo-blogosphere felt five years or so ago. on
Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

ascii_field: mats: if caching 0days were as easy as you suggest,
there is no reason why you ought
to be stuck in usaschwitz. go, move in next door
to mircea_popescu ?
ascii_field: and what is ~his~ assurance
that i won't immediately pastebin
the goods
ascii_field: and it isn't like a schmuck from
the street can get 20k as it is now.
ascii_field: and i am certainly ~NOT~ risking gasenwagen
to get
that hundy.
ascii_field: mats: and yes, i have something
that i know is worth $10M but since i don't have blue blood i can only get a hundy for it, i would MUCH prefer
to burn it.
mats: sure, its highly asymmetrical, all parties involved know
this
mod6: as far as
the 'experimental' patches, i agree about
the 'maxint_locks' patch.... maybe
there's a better word
than experimental. and, anyway,
this will all change soon anyhow, so not sure how urgent it is.
ascii_field: mats: seller, for instance, can disclose
the patch immediately after sale
mod6: ah. yeah, i'll have
to play around with
the format, etc. we'll see if i can make it happen. maybe?
ascii_field: genesis at
the bottom, and nothing else colinear with it;
ascii_field: (you may have been
told
that people are doing it, and yes,
there are people who
think
they are doing it. but
they are being scammed. often, on both sides of
the
table simultaneously...)
ascii_field: williamdunne:
thread in question was about
the impossibility of selling exploits
williamdunne sees no reason why most people would need
to directly
touch a blockchain
assbot: Logged on 30-05-2015 17:38:54; asciilifeform:
think of it
this way (possibly paraphrasing old
thread.) imagine you discovered a cache of plutonium bricks in your back yard. (rtg in space probe fell apart?) would you let
them go
to a scrap dealer for 100 usd each? knowing
that
they are worth millions, and at
the same
time risking your arse by revealing
that you ever had
them
to begin with? or would you say 'fuck you' and dig a deeper hole?
ascii_field: punkman: i don't
think
this is actually possible. see log.
punkman: we'll never know
that of course
punkman: well he made way
too many mistakes
too count
mircea_popescu: but yes,
trivial
to find
this sort of shit once you got
the guy
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 18:04:38; mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone know
this Jenna McLaughlin chick ? invite her over.
mircea_popescu: and with
the force
the 4th guy...
the whole
thing looked more like
turf war between rival drug lords, on of which being
the usg,
than anything legitimate.
ascii_field: my point was
that usg is not burdened with
the need
to lie ~plausibly~.
mircea_popescu: "how"
they found ulbricht = "we discovered
this github post" or what was it ?
ascii_field: a parallel-constructed nsa
tap is just another 'anonymous
tip'
to
these folks.
ascii_field: they are rescued by
the complete lack of any consequences for story which does not hang
together (e.g., '9/11' details, or
the 'how
they found ulbricht' story, etc)
mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone know
this Jenna McLaughlin chick ? invite her over.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (lying, of any kind it might be, always
takes more clever
than speaking
the
truth. it also always enbds up
taking more cleverf
than is available, but
that's secondary here.)
mircea_popescu: "Hess said
that data currently available on investigations, including
the annual wiretap report indicating
that agents encountered encryption only a handful of
times during
the course of
the year, is simply wrong." << it is simply wrong, because it never figures in court matter, because
they parallel construct
to all hell and don't know how
to do it well
mircea_popescu: you are a SERVANT. nothing more. just like your mom used
to be, minus
the assfucking.
mircea_popescu: nobody cares what some anon goat fucker
thinks on any
topic. on your knees, answer humbly and move on.
mircea_popescu: listen up raj your mother-s a whore go back
to india : you don't fucking get
to score
the questions
mircea_popescu: "Asked how often investigations are stymied by encryption, Kiran Raj, a senior counsel of
the Department of Justice, responded with a non-answer. “It is an important point
that you make,
that we have
to provide
the sense of a scale,” he said."
kakobrekla: >The ETH scam won't see 2016 < isnt
this a negative bet?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i dunno why old people put up with it, seriously. <<
Took grandpa until halfway
to his eigth decade
to
take a stand on no more fingers and scopes up
the butt and no more needles in
the eye.
ascii_field: 'The Court observed
that, according
to
the government, Mr. Merrill would only be allowed
to discuss
the kinds of records
the FBI demanded in “a world in which no
threat of
terrorism exists, or a world in which
the FBI, acting on its own accord and its own
time, decides
to disclose
the contents of
the Attachment.”'
mircea_popescu: hey, at least
they admit
the nsl was
there before 2001.
ascii_field: 'The ruling marks
the first
time
that an NSL gag order has been lifted in full since
the PATRIOT Act vastly expanded
the scope of
the FBI’s NSL authority in 2001.'

mircea_popescu: and all
this because
they wanted her
to dedicate her entire fucking day
to
taking it up
the ass for
the great god of colonoscopy.
