BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Do you have
the same romantic attachment
to 7.65
that I do. It is bond caliber
nubbins`: <+BingoBoingo>
The fuckers, part of his pre-trial release conditions was a prohibition on alcohol, 21st amendment yo! <<< i have a friend prohibited from imbibing for 4 years as part of
the punishment for a drug offense
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu>
they're just numbers, like any other numbers, exactly so. <<< o.0
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> but
the principle remains. "small integers" are not in fact either small or integers but for our perspective. <<<< o.O
BingoBoingo: Carrying
those
tits can't come with zero cost
BingoBoingo watches
the latest episode of Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen because better
than Robitussin
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Like I am going
to
totally fire up
the AIDS computer
to follow every lead
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: because I'm in a bunch of videos under
this nom de plume?
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: How can we know you aren't
the blond wife? Other
than if
that was
the OH SHIT HUGE SPIDER, case certain people would be much more attentive
to your equine needs
fluffypony: rithm: when are you changing back
to jcpham?
fluffypony: had a bit of a false start on one of
the projects, shitty resources, so
that's just picked up again as of a few weeks ago
punkman: fluffypony: what happened
to
that prospectus
mircea_popescu: now /me waits patiently for
the home videos of fluffyfamily.
fluffypony: when I have something cool
to show I will :)
BingoBoingo waits for
the scorpions
to shrink again, fuck you robitussin cold and flu
fluffypony: I've got stuff I'm building on
the business side
mircea_popescu: anyway, /me waits patiently for fluffypony
to be done with playing and start srs bzns.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: It is alright.
The coinfire account on
twitter blocked both myself and cazalla
that one
time we made a blog even
though... Eventually we may want
to hire
their meat.
mircea_popescu: well, neither did
the various stabilisation funds irl lol.
mircea_popescu: oh i recall
the derp. i
think i
told him off back when i was on
twitter.
fluffypony: he's
the guy
that keeps getting "interviewed" by Seaman
fluffypony: oh cute, Bryce Weenie blocked me on
Twitter
fluffypony: either outrightly or
through blind ignorance
mircea_popescu: perhaps.
then again
this may be a rather short
term concern you see.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I agree, but what I mean is
that a sidechain can't have a direct USD market, for instance, it will always have
to go via Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: fluffypony all future coin, of any
type, and more generally all future human industry of all
types is indelibly linked
to bitcoin
☟︎ fluffypony: but I do applaud
the effort if it'll make shit like Jackpotcoin irrelevant
fluffypony: but
that also means
that
the altcoin is indelibly linked
to Bitcoin's value
adlai: and
the "your" referred
to all
these projects, not just fluffypony
adlai: i don't mean it in
that sense, i mean
that
their goal is
to make innovations in other chains accessible
to
the bitcoin asset
adlai: fluffypony: blockstream is a for-profit company in order
to steal your lunch
mircea_popescu: so you are in
the endsaying
this is more of a hobby
than serious.
fluffypony: and if it fails it doesn't matter, we're not
trying
to build a business, we're advancing
technology
fluffypony: maybe it's best
to
think of Monero as something like Freicoin - an experiment in creating something usable and useful
fluffypony: the network effect of BTC works against
that
fluffypony: mircea_popescu:
that's like saying someone with a better business value proposition can just fork BTC
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i dun
think his idea is directly applicable (stolen by btc), but nevertheless, someone with a better business value proposition can just fork your code.
fluffypony: to get back
to
the previous convo,
though - it isn't an "investment", nor has it been pitched as such
fluffypony: pubkeys)
thus breaking compatibility with every existing application, and
then enforce
the standard for some
time before
the utxoset is sufficiently large
to allow for a measurable level of privacy (see MRL-0001 on lab.monero.cc as
to why
this is
true)
fluffypony: adlai:
the problem is
that
the "amazing
tech" can't easily be copied by BTC - although I'd agree fully on
that being applicable
to altcoins based off of
the Bitcoin codebase.
the problem isn't so much
the code, it's
that
the stealth addresses + ring signatures are such a radical departure
that Bitcoin would (obviously) have
to hardfork
to an address format
that is completely different
to
their current one (since it requires 2x 256-bit
BingoBoingo: Is
the robitussin bottle really not supposed
to be a single serving?

punkman: I mean humanure is fine, if you are in
the wot
BingoBoingo: punkman: Fine baby
the
tomatoes, but what about
the sweet corn
mircea_popescu: what do you
think
the earth is if not hardpacked, ancient sewage.
punkman: not sure I'd want my
tomatos fed on human shit
punkman: mircea_popescu: punkman: yeah and maybe indian/chinese guy watered field with sewage << actually good for it. << sewage is good for
tea?
punkman: mircea_popescu: punkman no notary still ? << good night's sleep and not busy
today, shall make progress
punkman: you could make a
tactile morse generator
thestringpuller: that's another option have little magnets implanted in finger
tips
undata: however anything like
that becomes another point
to siphon data off
the
thing if you derp using it
undata: there are many simple
text-output LCDs
punkman: thestringpuller wants a screen on
the cardano
thestringpuller: well i guess I'm
thinking of combining cardano with 2nd device
BingoBoingo: I
think you
two are
talking about different devices
thestringpuller: same with data on
this device
that stores output from decryption
thestringpuller: exactly, so I was envisioning a device
that can i/o securely from output of cardano
mircea_popescu: it'd decript somethinmg you got off a pastebin for you, but obviously it can't guarantee
the computer you're on won't read your memo
too
thestringpuller: so lets say
the system in use is not a secure viewer, but a device is available (some mobile
thingy of some sort),
that is a secure viewer, but is unable
to do heavy lifting. just reads from drive and displays it. so
the use case I imagine is someone is sent important "please read now" encrypted memo
to some dude who is boarding a flight. he uses one of
the surely compromised internet cafe computers and his hand caradno
to decr
thestringpuller: or in
the sense it is non-trivial
to remove data from
the device
mircea_popescu: seems airgap means you're not
touching some other system neh.
thestringpuller: i was
thinking of
the scenario of having
to absolutely read an encrypted memo but only have a potentially compromised/malicious system available
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: could
the airgap concept of
the cardano be applied
to storage?
adlai: plenty of cogent and
together people dedicate
their
time
to charity, but it's not a
terribly rewarding investment
adlai: if i were
to specifically attack
that, i'd start from
the assumption
that a cogent and
together person necessarily occupies
their
time in an activity which lends itself
to monetary investment
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2014 07:19:05; mircea_popescu: fluffypony understand what i'm saying here. you seem cogent and
together, you're working on
this whatever
thing i can't readily evaluate. i'd consider putting a few coins into it ; i can even ignore
the involvement of whatever known derp on
the
theory
that on
the long
term sterile works itself out of metal anyway so who cares.
mircea_popescu: i dun
think "invesing in altcoin" generally was being contemplated.
adlai: it's hard
to organize an argument against nobody. kinda like planning an invasion without a map.
adlai: which one,
the one against long-term investments in altcoins?
mircea_popescu: adlai
that wasn't
the most organised argument i ever read :p
adlai: ok
that's enough. next
time i bring up scalpl not in response
to somebody else, please !down me
adlai: anybody
trading on mpex want
to
try scalpl?
adlai: and
then
the guys who bagheld xmr
through
the great bear market of 2014 all
take a group dump on
the people who bought non-scarce goods
