jurov: no need. just send
them over
to r/buttcoin
mircea_popescu: gotta make
trilema moar appealing
to
the derp generation.
mircea_popescu: brb, writing "here's five old
tshirt
types you'll find at hot
topic" article
mircea_popescu: assbot: 5 Cryptocurrency Caricatures You'll Meet on r/Bitcoin - CoinDesk << so coindesk is at
the gizmodo/mashable/demand media "stale meme list" phase of post-shark-jumping ?
BingoBoingo: Bitcoin is a cult of money so of course we need profits rather
than prophets
BingoBoingo: ;;rate irdial 1
The other angry profit of doom we need.
assbot: What is most delightful is projects like DarkWalllet make
the "Bitcoin Advicates" completely irrelevant.
They can only spectate slack jawed.

adlai: "if
they'd let me have my way I could've flayed
them into shape // but my hands were
tied,
the bleeding hearts and artists..."
mircea_popescu: fine. i blame
them,
their stupid fathers & bovine mothers,
the fucking gooses masquerading as "educators" in a
ten mile radius
davout: why not blame
them directly? :p
davout: wtf is wrong with
these people
davout: "One estimate placed
the company valuation at $90 million, said
the news outlet."
cazalla: bitcoin_charlie:
https://actioncrypto.com/ <<< how is
this any different
to updown.bt (launched April 2014, became a GOLD!! member of
the bitcoin foundation but is now dead, didn't even make it
to 2015)
mircea_popescu: she definitely seems
to
think
that's what she's getting,
the other end of "lul what can we make her do ? shoe on head ?"
mircea_popescu: which aren't particularly sexy,
the whole sport is, "let's humiliate /
torture her"
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many of
the online derps got
their start/education on camwhore sites
davout: in france most inmates have cellphones in
their cells. WE HERD YOU LIEK CELLZ
mircea_popescu: the woman with
the kickstarter makes an excellent point.
mircea_popescu: enough? Do you feel you got your due?
That you were able
to violate my privacy and dignity enough
to feel I'm worthy of
ten pathetic dollars? Less
than a damned movie and popcorn?"
mircea_popescu: nsparent do you want it? Do you want
to know
that one of
the reasons I am very private about connecting my pen names is because
the man who raped me enjoys making fake profiles and friending me every few years, just
to get off on sending me a message and getting blocked? Do you want
to hear how I shake all over and panic and relive everything he did
to me when
that happens? Does
that do it for you? Is
that
transparent
mircea_popescu: "4. You don't deserve
to know any of
that. It's none of your business. I invited my readers
to chip in on a project--or not. I did not invite you
to worm your nose into every aspect of my life, hunt down pictures of my home, call me names, or
tell me I was worthless, arrogant, greedy, and undeserving. But you want
to rip me bare and expose how awful you're sure I am. I get it, you want me
transparent. How much more
tra
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well yeah, obviously. however,
teh prison people
try and prevent stuff like you know, perfectly private comms.
kakobrekla: those ppl dont care for legal,
thats why
they are
there.
mircea_popescu: if it were, all drug lords / mafia kingpins would be in jail, offloading
the cost of
their security
to
the state, while
they kept at
their biz.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: you need
to get one of
those cardanos. << lol it wouldn't be legal.
davout: it's
the "The machine handling encryption and decryption on
the MPEx side never connects
to
the Internet.
There is no cable." bit
that got me
thinking about all
this
mircea_popescu: but an airgap is not a semiconductor.
the
technical argument can be brougth
that obviously semiconductors insulate
jurov: if you cede control
to software
then it's not airgap anymore
jurov: the airgap isn't about
technology, but about being in complete control
mircea_popescu: a diode is exactly
this : current goes one way but not
the other.
davout: that's
the case i was
thinking about,
therefore not seeing a direct link
to semi-conductors
davout: so if you don't put a light emitter on
the airgap machine you necessarily end up with a one-way airgap, right?
mircea_popescu: i meant, your directional, or message-aware or otherwise "airgap" is a semiconductor in
the flux
davout: just don't put an emitter on
the airgapped machine, no need for fancy semiconductors :D
mircea_popescu: like a diode yeah. conceivably. not what an airgap is
toh
davout: guess
that doesn't really count as an airgap if
there isn't a manual step
davout: or maybe you want
to enforce
that only some sort of messages go
through
davout: well, maybe
there are some use cases where you want a uni-directional airgap
jurov: so
then why you want it
to be automatic?
mircea_popescu: davout for all you know
the internet is already automatically airgapped
to all hell.
jurov: what's
the problem with manual checks?
davout: jurov: yeah,
that's
the manual case, but you might want
to design an automated airgap
kakobrekla: i call it 'the gaper' as a
tribute
to ass gapes.
davout: how do you ensure what goes in on one side of
the airgap is what goes out?
davout: should you be able
to log what goes
through
the airgap somehow?
jurov: davout i assume it has a display and "ack" button
that
transmits
the message, and nak button
davout: yeah, well
the questions i'm
thinking about are
davout: mircea_popescu: yeah, no argument here, does it come with
t-shirts?
davout: jurov: i'm
trying
to figure out exactly what
the desirable properties of such an apparatus are
mircea_popescu: yeah obv. just, imo better economics all around once
that's on
the
table.
davout: mircea_popescu: if i don't know how it works and how i
take it apart i ain't buying it :D
davout: kakobrekla: btw if you ever change your mind about documenting
that optical device you mentioned earlier, a happy would be me
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's one for you : suppose
the stavka website sported a "Afghanistani cock -> Russian eager asshole plox
ty. We love real men, we're all
transvestitties over here!"
mircea_popescu: "WASHINGTON —
The
Twitter and YouTube accounts of
the Pentagon's command for its forces in

total, street dwelling bum, accosts some random guy begging. and
the random guy goes like "ain't got nothing now", and hands him his coke bottle.
mircea_popescu: soo... i go
to see my private banker, her office's like four blocks down. and as i walk on
the street, i see a
thing
that's still with me.
ben_vulpes: <punkman> * bitcoin_charlie left

pete_dushenski: like
the rest of chuck's pleading, bleeding head, it would seem.
thestringpuller: in a sense we are
the ones being attacked not
the other way around.
trying
to defend and hold
the gate of bitcoin fro retardism. it was a really profound moment like when
the
trilema
train ran you over.
bitcoin_charlie: Every option has been paid out, and
the price feed is verifiable
bitcoin_charlie: So, when you buy an option, its
timestamped on
the blockchain
thestringpuller: And
that's very much what I
think
this war comes down
to. Not block size or anything else. Just
the simple fact: You are either for changing bitcoin for YOUR needs, or you are willing
to adapt
to bitcoin.
