williamdunne: Definitely, just working on getting
the library working
williamdunne: Maybe I'm
trying
to pander
to most people
too much
williamdunne: Sure no, but most people would call dollars fungible - even
though
they certainly are not
mircea_popescu: williamdunne essentially, "fungible" and "non discriminatory" are
the same
thing.
williamdunne: If a club lets anyone in, so long as
they can
travel
to
the club its not exactly discriminatory, just a matter of practicality
williamdunne: Which is very different
to say, requiring you
to be of a certain nationality, not be doing certain
types of business etc
williamdunne: Sure, it doesn't care who you are so long as you have keys and
the ability
to sign

tell williamdunne explain
this difference between "1 btc = 1 btc" and "anyone and everyone being able
to have a bitcoin wallet".
jurov: davout: yes, i do
the btc-dev list
menahem: i gotta go..
thanks for
time + insight
thus far.
menahem: show me how it would go... is
that a 'constructive discussion' by her definition ?
mircea_popescu: menahem "like how?" as in, show me how it would go. quote
this putative comparative exampler ?
menahem: hmm, often in your posts you provide a secondary story. in
this case (RIPple),
the congenital defect. which is often my visual
takeaway on your point.
mircea_popescu: here's another
thing
that doesn't work : "The worst part, is
Torrie Fischer is competent with PGP 4. My advice
to her, is" <<
the problem being
that i can readily see her cv, but i don't see yours. from whence do you give her advice ?
this jars.
mircea_popescu: for one
thing, it isn't
the peak of stupidty. for
the other
thing, making pronouncements like
that dun work. you gotta show, not
tell.
mircea_popescu: "This
took a bit for
the stupidity
to really sink in. Like, sink sink in. Her comment “I have
to say I don’t really appreciate reading something like
that and would prefer a much more constructive discussion about web payments” is
the absolute peak of
the stupidity. " <<
this was
the problem
menahem: i didn't know how far I should push it - mention her on
twitter, etc.. maybe best
to leave
the heavy hand
to you ? i'm
too much of a luvva. but maybe my definition of luvvin is wrong.

tell menahem you really don't know how
to bother girls.
menahem: mircea_popescu
thanks for
the vote of confidence.
mircea_popescu: why not ? cause fucktard so decided! nothing negative could ever represent
these idiots' "twu vawue".
mircea_popescu: dude is all "anyone can search and find out someone's marks, ~which do not represent
the value of
the respective person~".
mircea_popescu: how about you know, doing a good fucking job at
the exam, so you don't have
to be ashamed of it a few years later.
mircea_popescu: im gonna erase history
to satisfy
the hopes and aspirations of
the subhuman horde five minutes after i gangbang literal sows.

mircea_popescu: now
there's about one a week bitching about how you know,
this shouldn't exist!!11
mircea_popescu: and in
the lines of drama : a few years ago
the ro education ministry failed utterly at publishing natl highschool exams. so i hacked
their shit and published
the lists.

mircea_popescu: the complexity brtought about any attempt
to implement "convenience" is outright staggering huh.
fluffypony: well
they could always use Namecoin instead
mircea_popescu: because you know, usg keeps a master key, or so
the rumour goes.
fluffypony: not unless you have
their DNSSEC private keys
mircea_popescu: so if i posion dns cache, can i also steal payments for
that domain ?
mircea_popescu: mkay. well i'm exiting
this process with message "a project
to provide bitcoin-deanonymizers with a domain-address pairing method, powered by
the general public's expectations of convenience and lack of expectation of guarantees" which sums up
to "fluff".
fluffypony: (preferably with dnscrypt-proxy running, and point it at
that)
fluffypony: then skip
the About section,
that's all sales blurb :-P
mircea_popescu: you folk gotta hire someone
to do proper
tech writing.
there's nothing wrong with having sales copy,
mircea_popescu: "What is OpenAlias? OpenAlias seeks
to provide a way
to simplify aliasing amidst a rapidly shifting
technology climate. " << i mean come on.
mircea_popescu: "By leveraging DNSSEC we are able
to prevent MITM-style attacks on an alias." doesn't
tell me very much.
fluffypony: as long as it
treats a DNSSEC as a hard fail it can
fluffypony: that said, a DNSSEC fail is a soft fail (as not all zones support DNSSEC at
this stage) - so it'll present
the address for user validation
mircea_popescu: (im still
trying
to understand exactly how
this works)
fluffypony: since DNSSEC follows a signature chain back
to
the root zone your ISP's DNS server can't fake
the record
fluffypony: the registrar doesn't set DNS records, necessarily, only what
the nameservers are (ie. SOA)
mircea_popescu: fluffypony
that aside, how does
this
thing solve situatiosn where dns zones are ambiguous ? (say registrar and host don't match)
fluffypony: I'm guessing
the CloudFlare node you're hitting is being wonky

☟︎ davout: jurov_ you manage
the mailing list amirite?
assbot: Logged on 26-04-2015 05:17:59; mircea_popescu: williamdunne so in retrospect : "immutable, fungible, non-discriminatory, and
trustless" is really redundant. fungible includes "non-discriminatory".
williamdunne:

To
the layman it seems
they would be different. Assuming you're a fairly boring person as far as you're concerned dollars are pretty fungible (obviously not entirely and dependent on payment system), but
they're not even close
to non-discriminatory. I guess
the difference IMO is between 1 btc = 1 btc, and anyone and everyone being able
to have 'a

time as an increasing number of loopholes are found - as described in an article by Mircea Popescu" you know you could ~link it~ o.O
assbot: Logged on 26-04-2015 04:05:37; asciilifeform:
think
this way - if
the problem were entirely contained in an -available- set of abstractions of
the language,
the program would not need
to be written!
assbot: Logged on 26-04-2015 04:35:18; mircea_popescu: before smartphones, it was not uncommon
to stop
two people in
the street whose clocks were 30 minutes apart.
cazalla: or anyone else for
that matter

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "We're going
to co-opt
the
technology, OK? End. Of. Story." lolk.
mircea_popescu: now do me a personal favour and ditch
that retarded disqus
thing
jayk: are
there any places
that do instant ACH?
mircea_popescu: the good news being
that if you stick
to it, it'll improve.
mircea_popescu: " off
the
top of my head
the United Kingdom, South Africa, Singapore, India, and China have instant and cheap (in many cases free) bank
transfer systems." << nonsense. your example is SEPA. rest sucks by comparison. (or gyropay before
that).

to saskatoon

tried
to find her on fb but i dont know what happened
to her

tits
