nubbins`: they say
they're shutting because
they realized
their customer db was compromised at some point in
the past
nubbins`: incidentally, was
there ever a qntra article about cavirtex shutting down?
jurov: so
that i don't need
to mess with eu vat
jurov: i can see
them
trying
to. only by sheer luck is what i'm doing covered as "financial service" atm
jurov: lol, like one can speculate i have created coinbr
to preemptively get down on nsa or some such
danielpbarron: i
think my comment was something like "It's possible
to achieve 'Perfect forward secrecy' with GPG; you're just retarded. And if it isn't brain damage, I can only assume you have been enlisted on
to lizard hitler's payroll"
PeterL: ^from
the
trilema post just linked
PeterL: "The best way
to go is probably fixed fee + per line fee or something." I like
this, encourages less LoC bloat
BingoBoingo: Maybe
they figure everyone's depreciated reading /var/
mike_c: fine. i will deduct
two points from his wot rating in my head.
that's
too bad.
mircea_popescu: mats: give it another four years and all
the useful combat vets will have exited
the service out of sheer disgust << almost
there anyway, yeh.
mircea_popescu: why would anyone still receive him after something like
this i dun understand ?
mircea_popescu: were i putin i'd put something in pravda.us "Kerry is so inept I would fire him if I ran
the US."
mircea_popescu: decimation: "Oh I'm
totally an awesome diplomat, look at my years of usg experience!" <<
this lol.
mircea_popescu: you know ? he's arguably not even PART of
the usianistan.
mike_c: moxie's sekrit
thingy is open source
though.
that's better
than somewhat silent circle
mircea_popescu: that's not
the point.
the point is, who
the fuck ever heard of
the attitude.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Kerry: Moscow lying 'to my face' over Ukraine << roflmao. fuckwit lost some election long long ago, imagines what
this does is put him in charge of Barbaria ? instead of you know, Usia ?
mircea_popescu: actually, i recall mentioning here
that "wtf,
this guy publicly
takes pride in having lost his gpg key ?" a while back
mircea_popescu: my heart was
the size of a rice grain when djikstra got linked yest.
thestringpuller: reminds me of my current CEO, "Blah blah blah ENCRYPTION AS A SERVICE, blah blah blah.
THE FUTURE." *applause from dumb audience here*
bitstein: asciilifeform: What I posted was
the important part.
mike_c: asciilifeform, why have you always had slight revulsion? I used
to
think better of him, but
this article is useless. poorly written rant with no suggestions.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: but now can finally pour flondor cement << brutal. you sure you don't want
to be a mobster? :D
mats: some of
the hn comments are, 'lets make gpg as usable as facebook:
thestringpuller: bitstein: re: gpg << "GPG is not what consumers have come
to expect" is what I'm seeing here.
jurov: "After confirming your yes/no choice you will be looking for a way
to get back
to
the other candidates
to vote for
them."
jurov: seems
they built it on
top of obamacare
mats: so
try my
Text Secure app on
the Play Store.
mats: yeah seriously. installing
Thunderbird is hard!
bitstein: ^
That was
the
tweet I was responding
to, not my own.
assbot: I used
to dream of a world where everyone would install GPG. Now I dream of a world where I can uninstall it:
http://t.co/eRZ0hdlmgx lobbes: reminds me of
the 'bitcoins for all
the people in Africa' mantra, and if it can't support
that it is somehow 'broken'
mats: hearn and moxie start from
the same premise, where
tech and crypto are somehow going
to paper over deficiencies in human relations and bring useful encryption
to everyone everywhere, and somehow gpg is inadequate because it doesn't solve all problems
they've imagined but don't actually present as problems
to
technically capable people
mats:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9104188 >> mike_hearn "In
the world of crypto, where we've learned so much, yes old means bad. Almost always... How many crypto geeks STILL spout rubbish about how
the PKI is
totally busted and
the web of
trust is
the future? Way
too many...
The future of encrypted messaging is not GPG."
☟︎ lobbes: "Looking forward, however, I
think of GPG as a glorious experiment
that has run its course.
The journalists who depend on it struggle with it and often mess up (“I send you
the private key
to communicate privately, right?”)" << lol,
this doesn't sound like a problem with gpg. I'll never understand
this 'hard-to-use' argument. Just
take an afternoon and learn
the fundamentals!
☟︎ mats: also deliberately misleading folks about widespread use with
the quantity of keys on sks keyservers
☟︎ mats: as if
Text Secure is usable, has a spec or docs like opengpg, as if mailpile doesn't shell out
to a gpg binary
mats: then goes on hn
to say he doesn't know what
the solution is but shills Open Whisper Systems, Mailpile, LEAP
mats: gpg does suck in a buncha usability ways, but
then he goes on
to address exactly zero actual problems
danielpbarron: gmaxwell> So if you want
to block Olivier Janssens from getting approved; for example get miners
to just block payments
to 1MG6SSwK2qSASM2QgBez2g4YFe3ib4d2eL. << ah
that's why i saw so many doublespends in my debug.log
Vexual: Free passage for
the masses I say
Vexual: Next
thing u know im not allowed
to catch a
train
to
turkey
Vexual: Youre allowed
to
touch
the button
to verify u know
assbot: Gemalto presents
the findings of its investigations into
the alleged hacking of SIM card encryption keysGemalto presents
th ... (

fluffypony: I had
to use gpg2
to recv-keys
today, because gpg refused
to (import filter bug)
BingoBoingo: punkman: gpg2 isn't really shipped with anything
though because
the interface on gpg2 actually sucks
BingoBoingo: gmaxwell: I'm just inclined
towards giant RSA keys and presenting a hard problem. It's just I'd like
the option.
That and ECC is already keeping
the money safe...
gmaxwell: BingoBoingo: not sure why you'd fault
that. Any _general_ improvement in ECC pretty much directly
translates into an improvement for factoring;
the converse is not
true. And all
the alternative schemes for _encryption_ have high overheads and complex security stories (though one could use
two cryptosystems in parallel intelligently for long
term security; I
tried arguing for
that w/ openpgp years
punkman: "it's gotta fit in
twitter msg"
gmaxwell: yea, well, I've given up yelling "get off my lawn" at people, seems
the whole world wants
to eat suppositories and other such acts of brillance; my patience in
telling other people
that
they're wrong mostly ran out years ago.
BingoBoingo: The entire AJAX bullshit is a scam. All of
that user facing javascript is just
there
to same
them on
the server bills

gmaxwell: people building finance software, voting systems, etc. without spending 5 minutes
thinking
through possible failure modes and making
trivial
tweaks
to mitigate risk.
gmaxwell: It's just an extra sideshow on
the general lolfest of incompetent broware.
fluffypony: I like GA for
the interwebs, it's easy
to block if you don't want
to be spotted by it
BingoBoingo: cazalla:
The porn isn't
to his aesthetics.
gmaxwell: cazalla: not my
taste doesn't necessarily imply an active dislike.
☟︎ gmaxwell: I like how
this ubersecure voting application embeds
third party JS in every page (google analyitics);
thats exactly how you go about building secure election and finance software. yup.
