the buggers'
traditional defense is
to pretend
that
the event was a non-event - or, if
this is impractical,
to continue living in an imaginary world where
they 'scooped'
the story first, and all of
the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
thestringpuller: "There is one company/cryptocurrency/platform which claims
to occupy an interesting space between Bitcoin and altcoins, between DC and AC: Stellar, backed by Stripe. Its CTO, one Jed McCaleb, created Mt. Gox,
the first big Bitcoin exchange (and sold it
to Mark Karpelès long before Mt. Gox’s notorious implosion began.) He
then created Ripple–which, he says curtly, “didn’t work out“–before moving
to Stellar
to “do
dignork: thestringpuller: "repeatoffender" keyword in
their game, is a nice
touch of insanity :)
jurov: "I am sorry
that I had such a bad experience with your community but I am being extremely negatively affected as a result." lolwut
thestringpuller: is cazalla awake? or did
the merriment wear him down already?
dignork: BingoBoingo: even
though giving private key is a stupid way
to do it (you can prove
the same by signature), normally I wouldn't care about leaked privkey, which ideally was used only once. Unless
the key is also used for gribble, but
then, who would use non-random key for grubble auth. Where do you see
the problem?

BingoBoingo: Yeah, almost sucks as much as
the Schilbach wallet which I can not yet evaluate
cazalla: i vaguely remember clams being discussed before but did not know finer details until decided
to check just-dice out again
BingoBoingo: cazalla: And now you know
that scheme's greatest retardation
cazalla: the fuck is
this clams bullshit on just-dice,
they really expect i will send
them btc private key
to claim clams?
RagnarDanneskjol: so far so good - its beach weather
this week, so not quite wintery. you?

BingoBoingo: joecool: Well, considering
the entire premise of an android phone is carrying around a demilitarized zone between yourself and google sure.
joecool: BingoBoingo:
that's a feature
BingoBoingo: I have no BTC on
there at
the moment. I can't even create a backup of my wallet file.
xanthyos: lot of
the negative reviews refer
to
the receive address changing without
their control
xanthyos: i
thought none of
the android app wallets were safe. are you just
testing it with a small amount?
BingoBoingo: So I apparently have an Android phone, but it is a shitty prepaid burner deal which is a plus. On
the downside I am just now discovering all of
the ways
the Schildbach wallet sucks.
Adlai: If you
think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going
to its page and clicking on
the "flag" link. (Not all users will see
this;
there is a karma
threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment
that you did.
decimation: I guess pretty paranoid is
the answer ;(
Adlai: are we still entertaining
the notion
that saffron reads HN, not just on
the front page, but on
the Ask HN page - but didn't have an HN account until now?
ben_vulpes: follow BingoBoingo's link? read logs? i don't know
that she did/does either.
decimation: otherwise, we are
to believe
that she
trolls low-rated HN stories?
decimation: if she actually 'is disgusted with irc', why would she continue
to read
the logs and follow bingo's link?
decimation: actually,
there's very good reason
to
think it isn't her
decimation: it would be amusing if
that draws in a crowd
though (the HN
thread)
Adlai: lol
then
there is zero reason
to believe it's really her
decimation: but given
that it was just created (the account) it could have easily been an account
that was created by some spamming hobo who reads
the logs
Adlai: the problem, and perfection, of irc is
that it's just a bunch of words
ben_vulpes: could just be pandering
to another audience
decimation: I guess we know what she
thinks about her customers
ben_vulpes: "seriously advocate for slavery" << gosh, respect a woman's right
to live in whatever kind of sin she wants!

decimation: anyway,
the pressure
to not-lose would be much greater
than
the pressure
to win-big in such a world
decimation: I'm
thinking of bitcoin, but any currency
that is finite would suffice
decimation: but as asciilifeform has pointed out,
the bezzlars (usg) control
the entire silicon process stack
decimation: new bitcoins can't be printed up
to ensure
the solvency of
the 'investor class'
decimation: presumably in a world funded primarily by investors actual capitol instead of made-up dollars,
the loss of a bitcoin on an idiotic scheme is going
to be a loss forever
decimation: this is something
that underlies my yearning for 'hard currency':
the idea
that a hard currency would make defecting in
this manner much less profitable
Adlai: on
the other hand, proper cooperation strategies could yield a strong enough ecosystem
that it could survive defections of individual entities without
the entire cooperative system collapsing
decimation: whoever is willing
to 'cooperate' and produce hardware/software
that actually serves only
the customer, will be eaten both
those who are willing
to defect for a cheap buck
decimation: (I've been reading
that slatestarcodex link)
decimation: maybe 'honest' silicon valley is impossible, in
the same way
that it's impossible for
the
two prisoners
to coorperate, even if it is in
their best interests
TheNewDeal: soso anyone interested in
this S&P closing quarter 4?
Adlai: given sufficient raw materials and chuck moore replicants, it should be possible
to build a stack clean in both hard- and software.
Adlai: so what's
the roadmap for liberating honest silicon's ability
to self-reproduce from
the monkeys
that are
trying
to choke it down?
decimation: 'give us stuff in exchange for
these really valuable promises
to pay bezzlars!'
decimation: they make & implement usg policy, and allow stooges
to stand in front of
the microphones
to
take
the heat
decimation: and
they are largely powered by academic
types who are 'do-ocracy'
types
decimation: except
they achieved lock-in by getting usg
to enforce
their comms standard & getting
the cell phone ownership
to agree
decimation: asciilifeform:
this (arm's) was almost exactly
the same business model as qualcomm's
decimation: yet
there's just enough 'freedom'
to make
the little people
think
that
they actually control something
decimation: yes,
there is much wisdom here.
the electronics market consists nearly entirely of lock-in, either by complexity, inertia, or usg enforcement (patents, etc)
decimation: plus
they regularly redo
the entire instruction set
decimation: by zeks, who work for companies whose entire business model consists of locking people into
their bullshit by whatever means
decimation: complexity is intentional,
to lock everybody in
decimation: if
the world were reversed and china was designing stuff for us foundries
to stamp out, it would certainly be
the case
that us folks would
try
to do it
themselves
decimation: from his point of view, he has a design
team of usg zeks
to work for him?
decimation: I guess he's getting paid
to hustle for his usg masters
decimation: if you pay $mils per year, people know who
the hell you are
decimation: yeah but how are you going
to walk into a foundry with your warez design?
