asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: S.GRU

Or is the most effective way to sign/encrypt/decrypt/verify data on an airgapped machine then marshall it over v
MisterE: mircea_popescu: no just a few billion thrown at a contractor, its a jobs program
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not afaik
joecool: mircea_popescu: walking in the US is suspicious behavior

Ademan: mircea_popescu: is reddit's /u/MPOE-PR legit?

benderp: mircea_popescu: i know. kinda why i bring it to the sages.
Ademan: mircea_popescu: considering the trezor hasn't been released yet though, it hardly bothers me.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, what does that mean?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to the extent sec exists for some actual purpose, that purpose includes infesting the btc world with whatever plagues can be conjured up, not extinguishing them

TomServo: mircea_popescu: you might appreciate that, he may even be a reader
benderp: mircea_popescu: pits and tits!
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, so the idea is that people know that there is a small chance they have an opportunity to invest at an early stage in the next "monster.com", and this would be a small incentive to upload their profile for some equity.
