ag3nt_zer0: i assumed until today that words were utilized to create a keypair

ag3nt_zer0: i udsed petes method

ag3nt_zer0: i through out the words though

ag3nt_zer0: i followed petes method except for the printing. i instead hand wrote the pub and priv... and i possess those

ag3nt_zer0: i have the keypair... is that enough?

ag3nt_zer0: to be clear i was re-reading pete's article and followed the reddit link to the guy who lost the 4BTC and it was this comment that got me all wound up: "The passphrase has to be random (and necessarily, difficult to memorize). There is no way around this, period. If the prospect of memorizing 12 random words is daunting to you (and it should be - if you forget it, your money is gone), then don't use a brain wallet."

ag3nt_zer0: i think the confusion for me stems from hearing two different descriptions of brain wallets - one described as a way to, if i recall correctly, convert a privkey to a string of words to then be memorized and carried in brain over international borders or what not... and the other encounter I have with this concept is pete's method of generating a high entropy keypair and I am pretty sure I am answering my own question here but wou

ag3nt_zer0: hope i dont find out im the tard here

ag3nt_zer0: it feels like a no-brainer but ahhh... if I use pete_dushenski's high entropy wallet method, I only need the private key generated by the words right? I dont need to keep the words... seems obviously dumb when I write it but the redditards are throwing me off here

ag3nt_zer0: i have a question I am a bit terrified to ask

asciilifeform: if you're not only poor, reader, but in manchuria, can replace the 8255 with 74xx ttl, but i'll leave it as an exercise.

a111: Logged on 2015-06-12 19:47 ascii_field: every time i have to burn (or even read) an eeprom i end up doing something retarded like this - http://loper-os.nfshost.com/wp-content/mwredux/romsucker_working.png

asciilifeform: ( i gotta ask, whaddaya want with a ~serial~ kbd, ben_vulpes ? )

asciilifeform: is what i got

asciilifeform: i suppose it oughta be in the 'liquidation catalogue' thread

asciilifeform: ( i have one of those kbd, in mint condition, and the conv box, but not currently using anywhere )

a111: Logged on 2017-11-11 04:49 BingoBoingo: Well, except for places where X is expensive because not built (i.e. those tiger economies)

asciilifeform: it does somewhat help that the i-machine emulator src was found; the thing isn't a complete martian blackbox.

asciilifeform: ( and will perhaps be a good entry for those hypothetical folx who ain't here yet, but ought to be . i have no intention of doing the whole thing myself, esp. not in near term, my hands are quite full ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: somewhat counter-intuitively, this item is the ~easiest~ part of an ic archaeological dig; the actual analysis , i expect, will take years

asciilifeform: relatedly, chinese quote 0.88 cents per 1500x sem photo; for 1x1cm die (which is estimate, i dun have an xray machine here) that works out to 1-2k usd for whole thing, depending on how many layers turn up ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-11#1736141 << the serious minus is that it needs a serious linear accelerator . i dun expect it will become competitive commercially with classical strip'an'sem method any time soon ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i don't expect a mongol horde to be put together without at least a little http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1638201 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i mean stake.

mircea_popescu: i guess so, at that. tv forced mistake, "gotta give the viewer steak"

mircea_popescu: i suppose this is one of those major "there are two kinds of people" things : those who speak languages, and those who don't.

mircea_popescu: well i guess time will tell.

mircea_popescu: in any case the only viable alternative to "well... let's just have another war, then" i've seen anyone propose. mile-wide highway still costs a billion or two per track mile, making the whole project large enough to give substance to something like us gdp. (that it will pointedly not be in any way related to us, secondary consideration. bitcoin isn't either, to its great benefit.)

mircea_popescu: i suppose next time i am about to call something mp-whatever ima say gooduseful-whatever instead.

mircea_popescu: seriously, chicklit heroine meets Cool Guy McFucksticks ? i wonder what the odds are of such a name naturally occuring...

mircea_popescu: conseuquently i dun think i'd buy saudi assets for less than 50% premium.

mircea_popescu: "bitch, you call me to a meeting i fail to return from, there's 10`000 rockets per square kilometer that take to flight. better hope they all miss, unless you're prepared to live in ruins-of-riyadh"

BingoBoingo: Well, except for places where X is expensive because not built (i.e. those tiger economies) ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2017-11-06 20:01 hanbot: <asciilifeform> in other lulz, https://archive.is/UVcTG >> 'reports of death of yet another Saudi prince' << meanwhile i was reading this morning "riadyh ritz-carlton now detention center for saudi royals", (http://archive.is/p7KPc), but tuned out when "evidence" seemed to consist of "booking websites" not having rooms available.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It really does. Everything I keep reading published on connection prices says "OMG region X is expensive"

shinohai: i dunno, xhamster does it

asciilifeform: ( i thought bitpay took btc ~in~ only , disgorged fiatola )

asciilifeform: yea , moar dead nazis, less kB wasted, i get.

mircea_popescu: eh you know what i mean.

asciilifeform: and i'll disagree that a q re how specifically one might go about taking back telecom sovereignty from the fiatists, is necessarily a wank.

asciilifeform: ( now that i think about it, this particular piece of relay-crackpottery might actually work very well with asciilifeform's earlier 'casks' thing , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-28#1619996 & elsewhere ) ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 19:17 mircea_popescu: also support is not sought, i don't think, if by support you mean manpower as opposed to you know, cooling. (if the latter, there's really 0 interest in a "best effort dc / someone's house".)

asciilifeform: ( i could be wrong -- there could be demand. would mircea_popescu personally pay to transmit something ? how much would pay ? but who else would..? )

asciilifeform: the real boojum, i suspect, is that there is ~0 demand for anything of this kind, while the net still works ( propped up as it may be by fiatolism )

asciilifeform: ( i suppose one approach to (1) is 'buyer must be in the l1 of a repeater operator'. and possibly it is the only possible approach. but it does turn the thing from 'build it and they will come' into something like 'must push the dope' , and prolly makes whole thing unviable )

asciilifeform: (2) is prolly solvable simply by being very, very loud. but (1) i have nfi, my puny brain is not up to producing an obvious pill.

asciilifeform: i'd be quite surprised if this happened and then the transmitter wasn't booked 24/7.

asciilifeform: '...storage capacitor holds 0.2 watt-seconds of energy... about 90%, 720,000 peak watts, delivered to the antenna... might be heard world-wide, but I don't know that for a fact... while total power in the pulses might be impressive, it's an extremely wideband signal - much less power is present on any particular, say 5 kHz, channel. In other words, the sparker is sending a very crude form of spread spectrum'

mircea_popescu: in other minutia, i'm holding up this well worn pair of cuffs, with red candlewax stains, and i'm thinking.... didn't i buy some pink candles too ?

asciilifeform: i can picture the wagner, the cyanide, of the handful of gullible folx. might explain the 'back to 300' last night.

asciilifeform: then indeed i have nfi

asciilifeform: ( and i must sadly note, they will ~continue~ to ship with FG units, unless someone wants to suggest a different chip )

asciilifeform: i will admit to not having tried it.

asciilifeform: i dun think i dreamed it. it was somewhere.

mircea_popescu: i dun recall reading it ; sounds sven husserlish

asciilifeform: tangentially, asciilifeform has this strong recollection of reading a version where xerx whipped the sea ~as a psyop~, and meanwhile had men crossing elsewhere. but i can't seem to find this in herodotus. so where was it ?

mircea_popescu: ("washing off" here has a very strict art meaning -- "i'm the object, not the subject" is the strongest psychological defense yet devised by the human brain.)

asciilifeform: i suppose being condemned to wish forever it were 2010, is nearly as good a hell as to be stuck in actual 2010

a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 19:32 ang-st: well i have some not to be release numbers that would prove you wrong :)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am an old man and my memory is self-serving.

mircea_popescu: the low level problem of just how idiotically superficial her arguments were paling in comparison to the incomprehensible levels of confusion involved in "i'll fix amphora, problem with it is that it has a hole" and other fundamental miscomprehensions of function.

mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, engaging in a "fixing" of the nature of "cut branch underfoot" is a very strong signal of idiocy.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform definitely. tho i did enjoy say rift.

mircea_popescu: iirc there was an isprime implemented, now i'm curious re 13371337 and similarily appended-1337-strings whether prime or not

asciilifeform: anyway i agree with mircea_popescu , there is no reason to have any of this in the moving gears. who wants a 'text commented e', can take his text, find nextprime(text) himself in such a way that it still human-reads, and use that.

asciilifeform: actually , the way i'd implement the thing , is to not change the format in any way, other than a condition that 1) e can be any 4096b string 2) but if it fails m-r, nextprime(e) is used as e

mircea_popescu: just when i was starting to think, you know, i have a serious sex-race issue "white or mulatto but nothing else" it turns out that there exists palatable nonwhiteness.

asciilifeform: i also thought it was from red paste or the like

mircea_popescu: i had thought it's a movie prop, but apparently no, can has irl.

asciilifeform: well nao , after tea, and when rubbed in my face -- i see, lel

a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 14:12 asciilifeform: i can't even tetris no moar, diana_coman

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-10#1735855 << yes, buit this is the core of the misunderstanding. "i can't even masturbate anymore, much less have a relationship". relationships aren't a sort of masturbation and eulora isn't a sort of tetris. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 14:12 asciilifeform: when i sit to play a game, it feels like dereliction of duty, with, e.g., ffa yet undone, dulap not yet replaces, scintollator rng not complete, 9000 other processes

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-10#1735842 << substantially different. you could have also won. they -- CAN NOT. it's not "oh, i have a choice between republic and mundane life". there is no possible result from mundane life. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: and the very naive idea that sort of mind comes to is that "if i deny labels to realities i don't like they'll not exist".

a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 10:14 diana_coman: for the curious there are in fact 2 prolific-stamped documents describing pl2303 and pl2303x; pl2303x seems to be a sort of upgrade to 64bits but why couldn't it be properly identified as distinct I don't know

diana_coman: eh asciilifeform nevermind, I'm silly

asciilifeform: i'ma think, over cup of tea, re why the diff

diana_coman: asciilifeform, this bit I suppose http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/I4TGT/?raw=true

diana_coman: I looked through the relevant mpi part but I can't say I get it to that degree to be able to figure this out

diana_coman: asciilifeform, tbh that's why I've wrote it down here as I'm not really sure why that difference; I did not do any additional factorising or anything

asciilifeform: btw i had a lulzy idea re public exponents

asciilifeform: yea i did get the 'core wars' flavour from the bot thing

diana_coman: eh, eulora play means 15 minutes per day deciding what to do and giving task to bot; but I get the idea, I'm not pushing it on anyone really

asciilifeform: i suspect that i recycled that part of my head.

asciilifeform: i can't even tetris no moar, diana_coman ☟︎

diana_coman: asciilifeform, funny enough I'd say the chief complaint is precisely that "it's not mmorpg as we know it"

asciilifeform: when i sit to play a game, it feels like dereliction of duty, with, e.g., ffa yet undone, dulap not yet replaces, scintollator rng not complete, 9000 other processes ☟︎

asciilifeform: i'll concede that eulora apparently does yield nonzero coin, for someody. but i must also admit that, tho i respect the work of diana_coman , mircea_popescu , et al, i dun particularly digest mmporgs ( or even play much game at all any moar )

asciilifeform: ( to be fair, i did not think that the coin were supposed to be the appeal )

a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 08:38 mircea_popescu: whole generation of stupid cunts will have to explain to their granddaughters, "and then in 2017 i was a cretin and missed on the opportunity to make 2 bitcents writing on my ugly ass tits nobody cares about, and that's why you can't have your private island. o look, barrista break's over, back to work"\

a111: Logged on 2017-10-28 07:14 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730037 << am i the only 1 for whom spending btc feels moar like selling organs than spending money, tho

a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 09:01 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1735724 <<< that's not the important part. the important part is that the whole population of libertards, feminists etcetera could accuse you or i all day long, shittington post will... print 0.

diana_coman: ah,hm, I thought they were same; I'll dig up the archive then and check

diana_coman: in other things: I have been playing around with keccak and in particular with PeterL's ada implementation; as far as I can see it conforms to Version 3.0 keccak reference but I'm not sure re testing; any known test vectors for it? (the test vectors on current keccak's site seem to be for sha3)

diana_coman: asciilifeform, myeah; ftr I opened them to look but - as expected - not much to see

asciilifeform: ALL ttl snakes i currently know of, are stereotypicachinese rubbish

diana_coman: for the curious there are in fact 2 prolific-stamped documents describing pl2303 and pl2303x; pl2303x seems to be a sort of upgrade to 64bits but why couldn't it be properly identified as distinct I don't know ☟︎☟︎

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-10#1735788 <- I don't really see how it is linux' fault here; so prolific used to make the pl2303 and old linux worked fine with it and still does; THEN they (or chinese cheap copies dunno) made a DIFFERENT thing pl2303x that has however the same serial id and everything so you can't distinguish between them before plugging them in pretty much; and so yes, old linux won't work because it sees it as pl2303 whe ☝︎
