a111: Logged on 2016-01-19 22:00 mircea_popescu: they recently discovered that it's quite likely alzheimer's is a prion based infectious disease,
asciilifeform: trinque, ben_vulpes : the first tipoff that one can immunologically zap own spermatozoids came not from alzheimer's patients, but from folks attempting to have vasectomy reversed
jurov: ben_vulpes: unreleased sperm eventually just decays in the balls
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "clog" here meaning that jurovs valve needs blowing off.
jurov: ben_vulpes: but no rsa signatures re involved!
jurov: but ben_vulpes is proll going for remote activation by rsa sig via gossipd
trinque: mircea_popescu: hey that has a handle you can pull, or so I gather
mircea_popescu: ahahaha srsly, ben_vulpes uses T favicon ?
mircea_popescu: instead of pings, i shall now proceed to pronz. like so : http://67.media.tumblr.com/63e35b70e89db0293762942aa35cf992/tumblr_n06ukj9LrE1ruyp7wo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: answr'd.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i gotta ask, did the breaker blow ?
mod6: mircea_popescu: to her credit indeed. poor lady.
mod6: mircea_popescu: your lady's hand looked ghastly. she should get to slap the first born of all of the industrial leaders in .ar.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's scheme answers 'E infers key, floods A with megatonne of shit' with 'A renegotiates key with all of A's peers via magical channel that E cannot saturate with shit'
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu's favorite rhetorical device is 'this is not relevant.' hey, it's the man's own blog, who am i to say that he has to consider my observations relevant. but this nonsense won't keep rainwater out of a tent, much less ft meade.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's answer appears to be 'lala can't hear you.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pong
mircea_popescu: meanwhile on campus, http://67.media.tumblr.com/59b06563cbb62fbc525ded0c5f50f138/tumblr_my8992ECJW1rm1zwvo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu nails it.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-09 15:12 asciilifeform: it is unfortunately also one of the weak points in mircea_popescu's original sketch, as an enemy who turns up a 'for' binding signature can make an attribution of station ownership.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-09 14:57 mircea_popescu: ok this is pretty scandalous.
asciilifeform: and anyone who - like mircea_popescu earlier - states that 'but all-comer will ~not~ be able to request a challenge' is stuck explaining why not.
asciilifeform: earlier in thread, mircea_popescu pointed out - correctly - that signature is not the only form of cryptoauthentication, and that there is also challenge-response, a la deedbot etc.

mod6: thanks mircea_popescu
shinohai: mircea_popescu may have inhaled toxic black smoke from poorly manufactured Argentine electronics mod6
a111: Logged on 2016-09-09 10:50 mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform mod6 trinque et all : what would you think about adding a p2p client to V ? it'd be like a daemon which listens for connections from peers and maintains lists of pressables.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-09#1538037 << lel what has mircea_popescu been drinking...? << It is an intersting thought; a distributed V, which rails against the complaints of "omfg another centralized piece of equipment!!11" ☝︎
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160909/#23 << yes mod6 but to clarify : "one button" refers to the situation where the user already has a trusted copy of V, and a .sig directory populated as per his taste. these are part of the definition of identity, and going forward can and should be assumed present. << Sounds fair. Thanks for outlining this.
asciilifeform: how did mircea_popescu even pick up this kink

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is posting from time warp or wat.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: copper with no strain relief will harden and snap just like any other metal.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also i must sadly point out that aluminum wire is a forced mistake -- copper price.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even in usa they banned
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wire is silver-coloured ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't the shitmetal in this case.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i will inform you with great joy that apple power adapters die in this identical manner.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-09#1538218 << btw i can tell from mircea_popescu's photo why it exploded. ☝︎
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: true..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: probably when the prometeus dude stole the fire?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: how about i (an nsa employee, say) just make a filter which grabs all observed gossipd traffic (packet timing or w/e, and if it's an actually new transmission protocol, then supreme joy is me) and send it for further analysis. i shall assume that while it's not certain which messages are legit and which are not, the offending t3rr0rist group is too lazy to transmit proper false positives to provide noise,
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: statistical models? sure, no *guarantee*.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu-signed vpatch can be made known over whatever medium. shortwave, if he likes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you signed vpatch. can as readily broadcast it via gossip as via fleanode etc.
asciilifeform: though iirc this was in another mircea_popescutronic production
asciilifeform: see, right now we have 'cheat' in the sense that fleanode allows mircea_popescu to manually control access to deedbot .
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: sure, that i admit.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: pull the key. which it effectively does with the `register` command
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-09: [12:37:26] <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: deedbot is not a working model of 1packetron omfg
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-09: [12:36:29] <mircea_popescu> except a working model of 1 is already both deployed and theoretically understood, as described above.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> but, to briefly rewind, << and following. static linking, not dynamic linking. your "the mechanism described in mircea_popescu's sketch." symbol is not acceptabru.
asciilifeform: other - is the mechanism described in mircea_popescu's sketch.
asciilifeform: deedbot and mircea_popescu in this example.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: deedbot is not a working model of 1packetron omfg
asciilifeform: i fully grasp what mircea_popescu wants to accomplish here, but it does not work with his stated mechanism.
asciilifeform: a gossipd link of degree 1 ( 'private message' in mircea_popescu's version of the sketch ) operates on signed matter
asciilifeform: i did draw this picture once, mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if we crash over an island, and have no rifle, it is still unwise to bolt-shit-to-side of the imagined rifle we lack together.

a111: Logged on 2016-09-08 18:37 mircea_popescu: at least hungarians know they've been cursed with stupid.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-08 17:14 PeterL: speaking of books, mircea_popescu have you read "The Prince" by Machiavelli? I have been reading it and for some reason it made me think of you (though I expect you would read it in the original Italian?)
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-08#1537375 << there are a few references on contravex as well. eg. http://www.contravex.com/2014/11/24/bitcoin-year-in-review-2014-the-price-went-down-so-we-prepared-for-war/#footnote_8_1928 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's not bikeshedding when i actually use it.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-09 02:09 mircea_popescu: Framedragger can we stop having this "multiline" bs unless specifically togled on somehow ?

a111: Logged on 2016-09-08 21:58 mircea_popescu: wait, the clim authoritative spec exists as a html ?!
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> " then navigate to pressed dir, " << i mean. << ah, ok yeah one ~might~ be able to do that. not an expert on make tho.
mircea_popescu: in other news, who mentioned pull chord ? http://66.media.tumblr.com/a2030738cf42c481f0ba7412b18b0c81/tumblr_oa73fsi0hH1v01y6oo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point we had 3 (then 2) quite separate types of builder.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160908/#1160 << so basically we got v running twice ? << yeah, which wont do. after my monologue earlier, I have a hunch that I might be able to get it down to a single press.

mod6: the two .sh scripts you have in there can be integrated into the makefiles directly i think. however, we'll still need the openssl-004-musl-termios.patch and rotor_buildroot_dot_config

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: secret bot is an irc user in a channel which no-one knows to be a bot (or a bot of particular use). scriba also has that kind of hostmask (unaffiliated/framedragger/bot/scriba) but everyone knows what scriba is for.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had entire article about subj
