mircea_popescu: those imperialistic dreams of
the papal states were apparently never extinguished!

this is assuming it wasn't hacked, shot down, etc.
pete_dushenski: he has a couple other
too, none do quite
that well but i was reasonably impressed
that he hadn't lost his shirt
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 17:04:54; nubbins`: anyway
tl;dr
their approach works well enough for
them
pete_dushenski: ^we had coffee
today and apparently one of his lamassus did CAD$25k in
transactions last month. at 8% commission
gribble: adam_obrien was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 4 weeks, 3 days, 3 hours, 48 minutes, and 11 seconds ago: <adam_obrien> I have

pete_dushenski: speaking of which,
turns out
that bitcoin atms can actually make a buck!
brendafdez: I like it when
they

that
their security is crap. So I don't have
to wonder. Here, hashed what?
brendafdez: hough you can disable
this if you prefer.

assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 16:50:29; nubbins`: how much of your own
time do you waste on maybes?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you wouldn't complain
that
the strippers don't wait on
tables properly, would you ? as a woman ? << Serious labor problem here in
the Middle West. Strippers aren't
table servers
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't complain
that
the strippers don't wait on
tables properly, would you ? as a woman ?
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 16:47:19; pete_dushenski: on one end is disinterest, a la paris or w/e, on
the other end is entitlement
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> as in, i don't
think so i can go wallow in
the mud. i
think so
the mud can't come wallowing on me. << I wasted years 19
to 27 with
the contrapositive here pls don't make
the mistake
mircea_popescu: as in, i don't
think so i can go wallow in
the mud. i
think so
the mud can't come wallowing on me.
mircea_popescu: the point of a functioning intellect isn't
to make one one with
the universe.
the point of a functioning intellect is
to make it impossible for
the universe
to make itself one with one.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 16:27:38; mats: leaving us with no real basis for actually figuring out
the situation.
BingoBoingo: Even
then Rubidium standards are cheap. Run Ntpd as Stratum 1.
BingoBoingo: Everything about NIST
that isn't pure
time sucks
mircea_popescu: nist specifically is hostis humani generis due
to
that and similar mishaps.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 16:22:37; mats:
the claim i'm most concerned about is
that
the weakness was engineered by NSA, and
that, by having approved it, NIST was complicit,
thus casting doubt on all other NIST standards
nubbins`: i know, and all
they gave me was a b.sc.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 15:35:34; nubbins`:
this place has done more
to fundamentally change my
thought processes
than six years at university
Adlai: (this seems
to be djb's real reason behind discounting curves without a *convenient* constant-time algorithm)
mircea_popescu: not sure it's particularly a point of interest for bitcoin for
that matter.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: Oh, I was jsut supposing risperidone as an alternative
to grains of salt
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 15:13:34; mats: show me
the motherfucking evidence! you mean
to
tell me
these bureaucrats decided not
to commit anything
to paper
this go-around?
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 15:05:28; asciilifeform:
that from -tolerasty- comes poettering & crew.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 15:01:59; asciilifeform: yes, some crypto designers make mistake,
they are good people, sure, whatever. i will borrow from slavoj žižek and say
then 'we put
them
to a good wall, shoot
them with a good bullet from a good gun, and bury
them in with a good shove in
the good earth' - since sure,
they are good people.
mircea_popescu: well alternatively a) deedbot b) set
the damned
timer.
mircea_popescu: the cm field issue is probably
the most concerning, and if
there's a baked in backdoor (something like, say, nsa is able
to directly see
through maybe 10% of all keys ever generated ?)
that's where it'd be,
that 3= -1 * 3≈ -2^1.6 property it shares with weak curves like bn(2,254) etc.
mircea_popescu: particularly
the ladder... so it's not a montgommery curve. so what.
mircea_popescu: none of
these seem, at least superficially,
to be directly relevant
to
the usecase.
mircea_popescu: on
the other hand, Daniel J. Bernstein is merely going by ec2, which is based on cm field discriminants / laders and indistinguishability
BingoBoingo: More suspicious
than niggers.o as a library function?
mircea_popescu: but for
the fate of a random usg muppet ? dude, burn him down, his name won't even be remembered.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 14:54:16; fluffypony: I
think it's very hard
to
tell
the difference between mistake and malice.
mircea_popescu: but importantly, your skepticism, while amply affirmed, is not supported by anything else. so you're skeptical of x
theory, as an aesthetic matter. good for you. what's
that do ?
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 14:51:20; mats: look, i'm putting my skepticism on
the record. if
there was evidence, it'd look like 'Tor Stinks' or
the slides from Der Spiegel's work on
the Belgacom pwnage. i'm not saying
that Dual_EC_DRBG doesn't have obvious flaws or
that anyone should continue using it, but my skepticism regarding it being an intentional backdoor remains
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I have no backing for
that brainturd. Just inundating el braino with
tequila given seekrit mission otd.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Schools used
to
tend
towards Mac fo a reason and
that was Nvir vs all
those damn DOS & Windows virii
ben_vulpes: "two decades of malicious microsoft sales. you have
to expect
the attacks, and
the schools are simply
the widest-open
targets."
ben_vulpes: just had a "don't blame
the hackers" conversation.
BingoBoingo: Or Coindesk/buzz could stop inflating
the
typical numbers ransomeware demands
assbot: ButterNubber comments on An entire US school district is having its whole network held hostage for a 500 bitcoin ransom.
The FBI and Homeland Security are getting involved. ... (

ben_vulpes: and you can
take fifty of
them with you in a backpack...anywhere.
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 00:37:43; assbot: Logged on 23-03-2015 06:08:33; ben_vulpes: <decimation> I just
thought of a brilliant anti-'area denial' (to usg
term) weapon system. imagine a small
turboprop uav ...
that can drop its wings and
turn into kerosene rocket << why bother with expensive
turbomachinery? just use solid propellants...
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (fwiw, my father informs me
that
this custom was unknown in his unit, and only expert was
trusted with wrapping chutes) << Many ground pounders in
the extended family, slosest one
to using chute at all broke ankle on helachoppa repel
ben_vulpes: <nubbins`> we're assholes, yet here we are
trying << "a for effort"
mircea_popescu: was keeping my fingers crossed for it being just you know,
two lines and a whistle.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> seems
that's 64 bit only now o.O << ahaha in between
this line and my logreading mod6 posted a patch
nubbins`: alf will sleep
the sleep of
the just
nubbins`: slab+post case could hold
the heat sink
too
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell brendafdez yo you know anyone renting bikes at not retarded
tourist prices?
nubbins`: you could put whatever lid on
the pogo you wanted
nubbins`: if you wanted
to do
the acrylic slab + posts
thing like
the bitseed or w/e node
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 04:46:57; ben_vulpes: i do
this regularly, but in what scenario
today?
mircea_popescu: it's not even just
that. gotta make sure it correctly
takes and verifies
the sigs now. etc etc.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu not as easily as a box of
tees 8)
