BingoBoingo: Not much in the documents other than how evil it is to plea guilty because it lets prosecutors become lazy
undata: I was working on my own crypto-only exchange for a bit, then thought better of it since I don't have piles of money for lawyers
undata: that top qntra article is sad.
BingoBoingo: Also the "Statement of Reasons" last filing is also unavailable
BingoBoingo: I'm guessing court appointed, but no way to tell. The only interesting filing was his handwritten filing pre sentencing.
mircea_popescu: it's like nigeria, except in nigeria you can't find dentists. in the us you can't find lawyers.
mircea_popescu: the crowd of vultures pretending to represent people's interests in the us courts while strictly representing the court's interest in people's lives is one of the most underrated problems of that country.
BingoBoingo: And some illegible name with them Luke something or other
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo which court is this ?
BingoBoingo: One of the presentencing documents is a prinout of the fucking wikipedia page on Bitcoin
cazalla: is this related to ddos guy or just random http://dpaste.com/0DZR5J9 ?
assbot: Share The Zing ... ( http://bit.ly/1umeE0m )
BingoBoingo: Here's the defendan't blog http://sharethezing.blogspot.com/
mircea_popescu: i certainly am not about to go over the man's picks and "improve em".
mircea_popescu: i didn't pick it either, and i am thankful for not having had to.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol, i didn't pick the 7! but i dare to guess that it was chosen out of spite.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically they're just begging for attention at this point.
mircea_popescu: obviously, this is no reason to change anything, but as an intellectual pursuit.
mircea_popescu: rather than whatever any other one.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sometimes, the buggers 'go into tilt' and make it laughably easy. that piece reads as if it had been written by mr. spamgun himself.
mircea_popescu: obviously, honest man would be in wot rather than sitting at the fringe arguing about how him being in the thief seats is wholly immaterial, he's just there for the view, comfort and etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure. which is why it's so difficult to discern.
assbot: 7 results for 'toilet tank' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=toilet+tank
asciilifeform: !s toilet tank
asciilifeform: questionable attacks on aes, etc << there are stables of ops grunts paid to sow disinfo - false research leads, general-purpose 'fud' for the academic community, promotion of sensational mystery meats ('badbios' !), etc.
mircea_popescu: iirc that's what intent is predicated on
mircea_popescu: so the guy had a bag big enough is it ?
BingoBoingo: Going to read more
BingoBoingo: Well, Indictment lists the charges as money transmission stuff, and "possession of marijuana with intention to distribute"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they can put people away without even saying what for huh.
BingoBoingo: Finally got the login sorted out, vague indictment was vague
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform (incidentally, coppersmith didn't think much of the xsl thing)
mircea_popescu: but the principle remains. "small integers" are not in fact either small or integers but for our perspective.
asciilifeform: 'there is like 30 papers each year published in cryptographic literature in which cryptosystems fail exactly because they use small integers...' << ahahaha. what a brazen and deliberate confusion. bringing up rsa coppersmith attack in thread on unrelated cryptosystem.
mircea_popescu: anyway, birdy whispers in my ear guy's from group that came up with the original xls aes attack. definitely more standing than tim swanson or w/e.
mircea_popescu: i wonder, if i say Dr. Nicolas T. Courtois will this then be the first hit on his name tomorrow or something ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform still, i can see the argument that "7" is not safe just for being you know, the number of holes on your body.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm wrestling with my PACER login to find some filings in the Powel case
mircea_popescu: srsly, he keeps linking to reddit thinking/pretending to think he's engaging bitcoin thereby.
cazalla: wonder why they didn't mention drugs in the news article
cazalla: mircea_popescu, there is http://i.imgur.com/55MwjMX.png too
asciilifeform: 'one cannot safely just ignore the advice of the cryptographic community about the elliptic curves. Not taking these questions seriously is bad, potentially a gross professional misconduct, and one could in theory even go to prison for that on the basis of some existing laws, for example safeguards rule in the US Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act...' << obey or gasenwagen!
mircea_popescu: but they're so fucking derpy they're not helping me, as itemized above.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform atm im trying to discern whether the recent "secp256k1" talk is simply the defeated nsa trying to find a better reason to fork bitcoin, or these derps actualy have something.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck do these people expect to survive, seriously ?

mircea_popescu: so the guy that wrote that otherwise interesting post : 1) aslo wrote http://blog.bettercrypto.com/?p=640 , a complete misrepresentation of the tim swhatever incident ; 2) runs a blog where you need cookies/js to leave him a comment pointing out that no, he's not extempt from the common requirements of "know what you're talking about before you posture" ; 3) has a contact page where i could donate btc to him (or ltc he
nubbins`: jurov "he hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book."
asciilifeform: ecdsa curves, 'nothing up my sleeve' constants << think back to the legend with the 'randomly wired' neural net. if secp256k1 (or, another example, aes s-boxes) have sufficiently broad classes of 'weak key' - then all you need to do is find a simple, e.g., sqrt(2), whatever, 'sleeve constant' that impresses the fools.

thestringpuller: it's like Google's Bootcamp, but for this company (VMWare)
thestringpuller: mandatory training for onboarding on this company
thestringpuller: I wish my teacher was a porn star teaching the class naked.
mircea_popescu: that'll train ya.
thestringpuller: shemlessly opened in the middle of a training session at work
thestringpuller: i get booed off the stage when I do stand up :(
mircea_popescu: i thought this was ghoing to be a sex joke.
thestringpuller: Haha. I was just imagining you as Bitcoin's Obama. It was funnier in my head because of the implied irony.
thestringpuller: it's because you announced the mircea_popescu stimulus package
thestringpuller: punkman: you got some 'splainin to do!
thestringpuller: notary is down for extended maintenance I thought.

decimation: I think "don't grab the princess" is on the list
Vexual: what is the protocol there?
decimation: to the american eye, it looks like they are just 'having fun'
decimation: that is an amusing image: the British public took offense because it looked like an ogre was breaching royal protocol
Vexual: thanks for the continue TomServo, i thought this was flappy birds for a minute
