needhelpwithnode: then appears this super cute girl (at least for my standards), she's 20, very hot romanian girl. Scared as fuck and proactively looking for police to eventually flee the zone, i approach her and she tolds me that for 30 bombs, she can have good time with me in the car
needhelpwithnode: basically i was lonely and was looking to have some human affection/love. So going back to home i converted an hidden amount of btc to 50 eur, cashed out at the ATM, and started to looking forward for Street hookers. I'm generally afraid to do it because if my country police catch you talking for business with a pro, there is a very big fine (500 e
needhelpwithnode: I have a story to share with you big whales
ag3nt_zer0: Hello TMSR... trying to implement trb here. What is the proper way to "save the PGP public keys" before placing them in .wot? Do I simply copy the entirety of the text (including -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----) revealed at the link provided by deedbot, place that into a text editor, and then save as .asc?
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what that is.
asciilifeform: moar of a 'for 10,000 i'll drill own hole'(tm)(r)
mircea_popescu: ah. you know you souind a little like a hooker ? "customer wanted to pay more for drinks so i figured what the hell, ima go home with him. am i fired ?"
a111: Logged on 2017-09-02 00:01 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this impression is borne out of lack of experience and no more. what, i'm going to assembly line phds ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-02#1709672 << to briefly revisit this lul -- reaction was to d00d who walked in and 'i'd even pay 20x moar for fg!' but he dun particularly want 20 fg. so suppose to give him for what to 20x moar. ☝︎
shinohai: I MUST BE SATOSHI
shinohai: I mean *I* have a copy on my site
asciilifeform: shinohai: aha, iirc some 'i am shitoshi'-flavoured sc4mz0r even tried to make use of the fact to 'prove' his case
mircea_popescu: i dunno why you're so fixated on poker, this was just early bitcoin business.
mircea_popescu: nah, i don't recall what the site was called, but dice something.
mircea_popescu: anyway, very much a http://trilema.com/2015/gerald-davis-is-wrong-heres-why/ : i was the first investor afaik, his site was going great, thgen the (canadian) government stepped in and burned down the respectable business of an intelligent citizen.
asciilifeform: lol i was about to say.
mircea_popescu: and then when the reveal occurs, you sha512(i like chicks with small tits71c0891f45d65ff7) and see.
mircea_popescu: concrete example : you set your seed to "i like chicks with small tits", site sets seed to "71c0891f45d65ff7"
mircea_popescu: the reason i kept trying to get him to be involved with things was exactly that he had good solutions to actual problems. but... never caught on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this impression is borne out of lack of experience and no more. what, i'm going to assembly line phds ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i beg to differ, if unit hangs around asciilifeform's neck from door to door, it's a layer reduction and not == to usmail.
asciilifeform: but i dun know that anybody wants to pay for what it costs to deliver this way, unless he lives across the street.
asciilifeform: i.e. no dirty usg postman hands
a111: Logged on 2017-09-01 22:06 asciilifeform: though i've thought about suggesting to mircea_popescu to offer hand-delivery ( chore would fall to asciilifeform... ) as an option. but i dun like nonflat prices
mircea_popescu: i dunno.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't want to commission back in 2013 or so because i don't recall, something about how doesn't want to lose the spirit or somesuch.
shinohai: !~later tell jurov I wish to donate my s.qntra shares this month to the bitcoin foundation. Please advise how to proceed, thx.
mircea_popescu: i still think the best ever is the magic of denial one.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-01 23:43 mircea_popescu: btw am i the only one HIGHLY entertained by the internets producing a girl alf ?
mircea_popescu: btw am i the only one HIGHLY entertained by the internets producing a girl alf ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: quite. though usually in the manner of "i just want my pension"
mircea_popescu: "what if we pretend problem doesn't exist ?" "well... it'll catch up with you eventually" "But after i vest, right ?" "probably..."
mircea_popescu: so as i was saying -- we don't have to usg.dumb sign anything.
asciilifeform: for n00bz, i'll review : cut into chunks C1,C2,...,Cn; then sign, S(C1 xor C2), S(C2,C3,C9999), S(C5), etc. with the 'soliton' providing the arity
mircea_popescu: and i don't think it's necessarily a bad solution, which is why i said there are others.
mircea_popescu: no, i was expecting that's what you want ever since pushing me above.
asciilifeform: or rather not i have one, but
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu it so happens that i have what looks like a solution to 'sign a TB with a 4096bit key with no hash'
asciilifeform: i'd like to find what trinque had in mind re accounting for collisions. ( but let's encourage him to put it in the article! )
asciilifeform: ( and i say this after making 'v', where proposed to put all of human knowledge to sit on hash! lol )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did not say 'let's all quit using hashes', nao
mircea_popescu: tell you what, i also have no proof in your sense the slavegirls ain't cheating on me.
asciilifeform: i don't see a zero
asciilifeform: i dun mean 'retrocompatible with usg', i mean -- with self.
mircea_popescu: i don't follow.
mircea_popescu: i see what you mean, but you've no legs to stand on. suppose each successive block is a successive hash.
asciilifeform: trinque: if you worked out a clean answr to this puzzle in your article, i'll enjoy reading
trinque: it's a fact there's a log line, and also a fact a phfnode said about it, I saw at time T
mircea_popescu: old style ben_vulpes was an attempt to do exactly this i suspect, we nixed it because too long hashes ; but practical considerations have no theoretical power.
asciilifeform: ( why -- i still have nfi )
Barbarossa_: can't argue with that, though there is admittedly some selection bias: only Romanians I know are professional gamblers
mircea_popescu: i don't know anyone but idiots and poor orcs still in that shithole. romanians fine example of both categories.
mircea_popescu: i prefer costa rica, because no access control.
Barbarossa_: haha, the UK casinos are a *little* nicer - but the US has the best I've seen, by far
mircea_popescu: honestly i wasn't imagining anything beyond a http://trilema.com/2015/varia-varietatis-or-your-all-about-the-mollusc-guide/#selection-153.0-153.35 sorta thing.
Barbarossa_: It's a LOT less interesting than you're imagining, I can promise you that
mircea_popescu: Barbarossa_ write it up sometime, with pics and everything, i'd read. got a blog ?
mircea_popescu: i had no idea uk even had casinos.
mircea_popescu: i can't even parse that, wtf is "romanian gamblers", and what is "their womenfolk" and what is voluptuous here and so on.
mircea_popescu: Barbarossa_ i have no idea.
trinque: deedbot vs wot.deedbot.org separation of concern is what I'm driving at, will drive at it more clearly when paybot dislodged from queue.
danielpbarron: Barbarossa_, take your time. also i would not sell you one i already opened; i have plenty still sealed in the electrostatic bag
asciilifeform: i can see where mircea_popescu is going. they had nfi, then some 'kind' soul 'helped'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol, i'm sold
trinque: used to do all kinds of "patch this file in that dir with leethax.exe" when I was in teens
trinque: am I dating myself here?
Barbarossa_: or was it Ultimate Bet? I forget. There have been a lot of scams
Barbarossa_: I didn't care myself - until bitcoin existed
Barbarossa_: fwiw I've never heard a player even ask how they generate the entropy
asciilifeform: and cheapest i know of, is north of 20,000 usd per
Barbarossa_: iirc I read it on their official blog, but this was a couple years back
asciilifeform: all i found was this http://www.gaminglabs.com/extranetGLI/cmsAdmin/getsplash.asp?i=190
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: where can i find out re pokerstars rng ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i haven't any notion, maybe he runs them near his particle accelerator's beamline, wat.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i don't know specifically what.
asciilifeform: though i've thought about suggesting to mircea_popescu to offer hand-delivery ( chore would fall to asciilifeform... ) as an option. but i dun like nonflat prices ☟︎
Barbarossa_: ah right, well - I like filling in webforms
Barbarossa_: not saying I want to, just that I would!
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: np. i recommend to stay tuned until mircea_popescu wakesup
Barbarossa_: I don't actually mind paying retail, thanks though!
danielpbarron: Barbarossa_, i might be interested in selling you one for a little less. what were you looking to spend?
Barbarossa_: I've been using GPG assuming it's sound
Barbarossa_: hmm looks like I need to read more logs
Barbarossa_: I read the FG documentation - will be interesting verifying everything as a total layman
asciilifeform: i rejected all physical effects which require an adc
asciilifeform: i experimented with many types of rng.
Barbarossa_: but I'm in the process of getting trb/linux/FG and all that
asciilifeform: i expect a pokerist would have something to say re rng, aha
Barbarossa_: I'm a professsional poker player from the UK ☟︎
Barbarossa_: I mostly just wanted to bring up FUCKGOATS coz I'm so happy that it exists
asciilifeform: and specify 'no thx i only want 1 box'
Barbarossa_: yup; tbh I'd pay 3x what you're charging
Barbarossa_: damnit, guess I'm a self-loathing crytoJOO after all :(
Barbarossa_: don't get me wrong: I'm mostly just trying to wrangle for an even cheaper implementation of gold standard entropy (despite not being a joo)
trinque: not that particular one, but I would hazard a guess it lacked the hierarchial trust topology that makes other republican items work.
trinque: imagine the hilarity of actual human communication resembling www; you and I wish to speak irl, we go to the designated 3rd party for the particular language we'll speak, he relays between us and all other folks discussing same.
asciilifeform: i promise to read.
asciilifeform: trinque: might i persuade you to write the algo out ? in longhand
trinque: and as I describe things the gossipdnet now has, if it wants, a history of what its seen, and a way to refer to it.
asciilifeform: it fails because -- in the particular example i gave -- it ain't 1:1
