mircea_popescu: this is an up to date historical (2011) copy of the blockchain.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform looks like i'm going to have a (full chain) bitcoin up in a coupla days.
assbot: #bitcoin-assets rules and regulations on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1Fy84Jo )
mircea_popescu: most likely the former.
cazalla: so when you say guessed the credentials, has the person simply guessed the password or had a hash of it and cracked that?
mircea_popescu: well, i deleted > 50k messages from queue, the email in question, and hopefully gmail, yahoo and everyone else will at some point forget the fact that i spammed them to shit for the first time in my life.
cazalla: i might've used something weak when creating it but again, it's not something i do so i don't really know what else to say
mircea_popescu: yeah it's not a php thing, seems 100% certain it simply guessed the credentials for that acct, used them for pop3
mircea_popescu: i dunno how i'd make sure of such a thing.
cazalla: nor do i have a passwords.txt sitting on the desktop
cazalla: you'd wanna make sure because i don't, and have not, created my own passwords for some time
mircea_popescu: apparently they guessed your pw.
cazalla: can't log in to cpanel to delete email addy now
mircea_popescu: did you create that account ?
mircea_popescu: a) no and b) actually, my server is sending email because somehow someoine signs in as info@qntra and i naively faield to disallow qntra account from sending email
cazalla: isn't this just a case of someone (likely guy who ddos joiners here) sending out spam from another server but spoofing return address so qntra email gets hammered with delivery fail spam?
mircea_popescu: at any rate, delete that account.
mircea_popescu: you think i keep all that ?
cazalla: you must because you gpg'd the new one to me when servers went down after the dmca bullshits with trilema
cazalla: can't you check logs to see who logged in on that day and few proceeding it?
cazalla: pages that is
cazalla: mircea_popescu, http://i.imgur.com/KjnyoQA.png 8000 or so of those beginning june 14th
ag3nt_zer0: liquidated thinking it will continue to sink...
ag3nt_zer0: I should probably just keep digging, but in reading the logs dated late 2013 I see concerns raised that another bubble is fine as long as it doesn't go to 1k... and this was not too long after people were getting warnings that btc wasn't worth more than $130... why was it bad for it to go to 1k or past, and given all this craziness, how do I deduce what would be a current fair price to make a relatively wise investment? I
cazalla: to the best of my knowledge i've not leaked the password
cazalla: would appear it started around june 14th of this month
pete_dushenski: makes sense given how much more physical space each american occupies compared to each italian and chinaman
pete_dushenski: i'm sure he'd appreciate it, if for no other reason than as a reminder than the usistan isn't alone in sucking.
cazalla: yeah, i never thought i'd see ham planets walking into costco with my own eyes.. i should snap some pics for BingoBoingo
pete_dushenski: you're like america jr. jr. the third !
cazalla: ya know they include that in real estate ads here now.. "close to schools, transport, costco"
pete_dushenski: cazalla: ah yes, home of csirac and that very bizarrely shaped costco store
mircea_popescu: but it has to be on a publicly accessible ip, port 8333 open
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> ben_vulpes: does the node have to be synced already to join the partay << no.
assbot: Stalking Black Swans In Canberra: The City Of Plans | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1LqJVg1 )
assbot: Logged on 23-06-2015 03:11:09; Hasimir: the problem I have with the rarity of black swans is they nest in the lake across the road every spring ...
assbot: Logged on 23-06-2015 03:22:02; mircea_popescu: and THAT is where taleb engages traditionalism - where it matters. nobody is still left at the wheel who can talk back, so nobody does, all that's left is a cargo cult of the dead st. thomas, trudging along.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-06-2015#1173236 << myea. 'shouting at the rocks' ☝︎
pete_dushenski: and burke, to my reading, is no fan of the common man and an advocate of monarchy.
pete_dushenski: taleb's too much a protector of the people to see them as the source of all evil.
assbot: Logged on 23-06-2015 03:10:59; mircea_popescu: aha. no authors specifically, because he does not specifically understand that he's battling westerners that have joined the choir invisible centuries ago.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-06-2015#1173219 << quite so. taleb blames 'the bankers' and 'the revolving door between federal politics and megacorp industry' while failing to take his accusations to their next logical step : popular democracy. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: does the node have to be synced already to join the partay ? i have a 0.7.2 at 222'868
ben_vulpes: "your share of bitcoin has increased from n/21e9 to n/42e9"
assbot: Logged on 23-06-2015 02:00:13; asciilifeform: 'the chocolate ration has increased from 100 to 50g...'
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-06-2015#1173112 << lol. like the derps at the city here who 'improved asphalt techmologee' by making is less durable. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: hey pete d'you have a node to throw into la serenissima's syncing party?
ben_vulpes: complex differential eqns those
ben_vulpes: mats: i do it just to annoy you
ben_vulpes: it's just another altcoin at this point
Vexual: good luck forking testnet
mircea_popescu: im evidently not set up to support teh esteemed efforts of the republic over here. working on it.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-June/000101.html << well since this thermonuked node refuses to attach to any others, i may as well roll this patch in
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: if i'd like to bootstrap a thermonuke off your previously mentioned node, do i need whitelisting?
Vexual: setgen true
assbot: a tour of bitcoind booting to its first thread ... ( http://bit.ly/1H9cUCd )
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: aw i was going to cut that one out meself
Vexual: you must be pretty fucking sitstill to only burn 3000
Vexual: enless you wanna live to 100
Vexual: thestringpuller: you oughta burn more than 3k
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: who is still using testnet? and for what?
Vexual: ;;later tell Naphex poker sites, or a pokerstars hat
thestringpuller: so i'm on this 1000 calorie deficit diet which requires me to burn an extra 1000 calories a day. damn this shit is no joke.
asciilifeform hoses off chopping block, washing off blood, piss, feathers, from today's gavins
asciilifeform: does anyone consider this a problem?
asciilifeform: astute readers will notice that proposed 5.4 does not permit externalip to be altered at runtime.
asciilifeform: 'every program contains at least one bug. every program can be reduced by at least one line. ergo, every program can be reduced to precisely one line - which doesn't work.' (dijkstra?)
asciilifeform: almost sorry we're running short on things to axe.
asciilifeform: here's a thought:
mod6: as soon as I can, i'll be sure to patch everything in the order specified and kick off a full regression cycle.
asciilifeform: (this does not excuse other folks from test!)
asciilifeform: prior to posting
asciilifeform: btw i will note (in case this wasn't clear) that i test-fire everything i post
mod6: i've read the patches and ben's review on his blog. i'll be writing up a summary of my own in the SoBA at the end of the month.
mod6: im hoping I can figure something out with gcc tomorrow. if I don't get anywhere, perhaps time to cut bait and head in a different direction.
asciilifeform: i would like to ask the fine gentlemen to read this and the antecedents (ben_vulpes has a pretty good review on his www)
mod6: thanks for your work on this asciilifeform!
asciilifeform: unless someone notices serious problems, this is what will be built (using deterministic build process) and fielded on the first public node
mod6: ah and it bumps the version too
cazalla: actually forget it, we had this conversation a few weeks ago
assbot: Logged on 23-06-2015 03:11:09; Hasimir: the problem I have with the rarity of black swans is they nest in the lake across the road every spring ...
asciilifeform: ^ precisely what is printed on the box. but all plz read
mod6: ok weird. same exact error as last time after complete nuke. tomorrow i'll nuke again and see if gcc will compile without the patch.
asciilifeform notices that certain nodes in the wild... won't return the genesis block!!
trinque: bahaha who the fuck adopts "Oblivion" but keeps "Brian"
mod6: does that guy have a Matryoshka doll tie?!
mircea_popescu: the why is the controlling aspect, not the what.
ag3nt_zer0: ok. but I am under the impression that at the core of traditionalism are simply metaphysical absolutes... for instance, "the greater cannot proceed from the lesser" - there is one absolute source, be it languaged in a number of ways, etc...
mircea_popescu: i imagine that's gavin's wet dream, if anything.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1173066 << check em out, the original windows wizards. to think idiots of all stripes today still try to "be zatko" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and THAT is where taleb engages traditionalism - where it matters. nobody is still left at the wheel who can talk back, so nobody does, all that's left is a cargo cult of the dead st. thomas, trudging along. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: in any case, THAT is traditionalism for you. between "nobody went out of business buying ibm" and "our gauss copulae indicate the future will be rosy", crash after crash and disaster after disaster.
ag3nt_zer0: but i understand that it is used to analyze financial information, particularly in markets
mircea_popescu: mkay. there is this psychogenically-driven assumption in financial circles that the past may be used to evaluate future risk. this is incredibly stupid and absolutely perennial (the only thing perennial in human cultural history is stupidity, by the way - smart stuff has no root)
ag3nt_zer0: what am i talking, yes I do
ag3nt_zer0: can't say that I formally do
mircea_popescu: hm. well, do you know what technical analysis is ?
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 you familiar with the fantabulous history of the gauss copula ?
mircea_popescu: Hasimir well you live in a place that doesn't exist anyway >D
Hasimir: so much for that theory ....
