asciilifeform: the lie was obvious to an alert first-grader.
mircea_popescu: specifically, this gives the lie, exemplarily, to "oh, bip32 poses no threat to your security"
mircea_popescu: "Note that the addresses that appear only in the second list still may be in danger, e.g., if they stem from a BIP32 wallet and one knows the "xpub" public key."
mircea_popescu: "There seems to be a new buggy program that reuses the same R value for all signatures in a transaction. It started around September 2014"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, the derps derped about their webwallets on blockchain.info being safe. In the end it was blockchain.info that fucked them.
asciilifeform: anyone who wonders why this was never done... answer - uses mathematics that did not exist when the net was built (reed-solomon existed, yes! but quite inefficient)
asciilifeform: anyone who wants to do this - can go do. vita brevis.
xanthyos: asciilifeform: were you ever into packet terminal on ham radio?
asciilifeform: my scheme, given hardware acceleration for the signer & erasure decoder, is as low latency as it gets
mircea_popescu: low latency tho.
asciilifeform: parameters of raptorcode can be tweaked depending on noise floor values (e.g. shortwave in the apocalyptic wasteland requires more 'leg room' than comfortable modern net under ideal peacetime conditions)
asciilifeform: thus every packet identifies what pubkey (i.e. who signed) and what particular fountain it belongs to (what's a fountain? see definition of 'raptor' and other 'fountain' erasure codes)
asciilifeform: i'll spill the beans, if somebody wants to reimplement. basic unit of transmission is 'raptor code' over udp. hence - connectionless.
mircea_popescu: his idea would allow layers to work better.
asciilifeform: used by potentially anyone, but 'deadheads' (non-wot folks) will ride in the back of the bus at all times.
mircea_popescu: (so not wanting to relive the experience of the cabal they mostly don't use it)
mircea_popescu: currently the way it works is however many people can route you in or out. and that's that.
mircea_popescu: jurov yes but more layers to the group.
mircea_popescu: answer the q lol.
jurov: "will simply prioritize, say, udp packets signed with particular keys" sounds to me exactly like "either you're in or out of the group"
asciilifeform: used by the users.
asciilifeform: what i want can be approximately described as 'internet that does not operate on the rivers of meat principle'
mircea_popescu: rather than the very discrete "either you're in or out of the group" thing
asciilifeform: (and - optionally - drop others, if congestion sensors are tripped)
mircea_popescu: i recall that "badon effect" dude reducing his "2004" to "2012" on the first cursory examination.
mircea_popescu: dude how is it that all these dudes with wild historicity claims fail to back them up ?
asciilifeform: jurov: perhaps i ought to have explained. not wot in the sense of numerics
mircea_popescu: "as it's what I built & delivered 18 years back ;-)" o that's nice.
jurov: any wot that can be collapsed down to one number can and will be abused
mircea_popescu sees his name mentioned, goes to see wtf.
asciilifeform: where every packet knows who paid for it << those who imagine a wot-routing based net as a rent-seekers' paradise are mistaken. it is today's net that is a rent-seeker's paradise, where folks who cannot abide ddos must buy bandwidth in vast excess of their normal needs ☟︎
jurov: asciilifeform: on one side we explain to everyone how wot ratings are to be manually examined and not rating or similar number used... on other side you consider rating suitable for routing priority?
asciilifeform: '1. ditch PGP, it's a millstone.' << leper is ringing his bell. thank him and cross the street to avoid contagion
asciilifeform: jurov: you were probably thinking of the ancient classic: http://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt
fluffypony: well I guess he struggles with the interwebs
assbot: This is the largest investment in a BTC company to date. http://t.co/MZl7B4Nj9F /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash-assets /Mircea_Popescu /hashtag/MPEx?src=hash
Pierre_Rochard: background for those of us not on twitter: https://twitter.com/danielpbarron/status/541999761684201472
Pierre_Rochard: iang_fc: welcome to #bitcoin-assets
assbot: [NSFW] Aus Dem Leben Der Marionetten pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1yHUvYK )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2011/nsfw-aus-dem-leben-der-marionetten/ << neone seen this one ? it's not so bad.
asciilifeform: (or, question of how to prevent owners of large, expensive pipes - e.g., transatlantic - from charging for seats in wot? you don't, if you want them built & maintained, and this is approximately what they have now)
asciilifeform: wot at the packet route level.
mircea_popescu: how do you prevent your system from going there ?
asciilifeform: that just ensures hegemony of the richest spammer
asciilifeform: jurov: not the idiot 'stop spam via taxation' scheme that everyone is familiar with, no
asciilifeform: as it is, ddos mitigation does at least as much damage as the disease itself
jurov: asciilifeform you basically want telco network, where every packed knows who paid for it
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2014 05:04:09; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is why, in my unofficial wonderland, you can't even open a socket without transmitting an rsa-signed a 'this is me, and my wot' breath of life packet.
asciilifeform: (see also thread http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-11-2014#931927 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: ddos << there will come the day when folks will remember the 'route to anybody who asks first-come-first-serve' internet - with disgust. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, i was going to link to you and figured graphs are cool, but will just link the root and well...
jurov: on the second visit, browser has cached stuff and doesn;t do so many requests
mircea_popescu: it always hits me on the first visit tho.
mircea_popescu: but i wonder how many people don't think to reload ?
mircea_popescu: jurov sometimes when clicking on charts on coinbr i get nginx "service temporary unavailable". it always goes away if i reload
mircea_popescu: http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=just%20because%20from:mircea_popescu << i think i found a great way to traverse the logs
assbot: Exclusive Matt DeHart coverage: Paul DeHart and Tor Ekeland Interviewed | The Cryptosphere ... ( http://bit.ly/1G7ghas )
mircea_popescu: because you can't fucking write text, it's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it that matters. gotta make a fucking drawing of it.
mircea_popescu: haha. is there coinbread yet ?
mircea_popescu: the onl;y thing i see them being upfront about is being derps.
TomServo: at least they're upfront about wanting to redistribute 'satoshi's horde'
BingoBoingo: The big flaw with it is that dooglus came with too much quantity of name for this. People are going to be all "let's make clams have value" and dooglus goes back to what he tried to avoid.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin brings the worst autist specimens up for air.
TomServo: these clams are some pretty good lulz though
mircea_popescu: im so fucking sick of asicminerism i can't even begin to tell it all. ☟︎
gribble: You rated user dooglus on Wed Jul 2 22:02:07 2014, with a rating of 3, and supplied these additional notes: Truly a pillar of the community..
mircea_popescu: anyway i dun really see this is fixable.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I'm thinking make the attourneys or whoever sink fucktons of time into figuring out just what clams are.
fluffypony: tell the regulators that the USG owns CLAMs by virtue of them having a bunch of BTC in May?
BingoBoingo: Maybe that's the point of the clams thing, being a kind of retarded mess that's going to be a huge pain for rgulators.
mircea_popescu: i like this guy, but he has the communication abilities of an engineer, and as a result ends up with the local minimums ffs.
mircea_popescu: dooglus duide seriously that was the stupidest move ever. you could have just sold the damned site.
mircea_popescu: i thought he was making some new jd-special coin.
fluffypony: so in a court of law I'm certain the argument could be made that it has equivalency, and merely giving it a new name doesn't make it any different to Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: wait i recall this thing. why do you figure it's related to dooglus ?
fluffypony: CLAMs are "special" because if you owned Bitcoin or Dogecoin or Litecoin at some magical date when it launched or whatever, then you can "redeem" CLAMs
mircea_popescu: seems to me better to defend the defensible position rather than try and defend an undefensible positon that's nevertheless slightly more inland. but wtf do i know about strategy.
mircea_popescu: but that's essentially it, right ? "your honor, this is internet funbux likle wow gold and monopoly money, stfu and go home".
assbot: The reasons why Bitcoin securities can't be regulated by the SEC pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1G7bshw )
mircea_popescu: fluffypony something like http://trilema.com/2012/the-reasons-why-bitcoin-securities-cant-be-regulated-by-the-sec/ 2012 is too far in the past so we don't remember it, therefore must make bitcoin clone to say it's a gaming currence ?
BingoBoingo: What's their shtick?
fluffypony: I mean the altcoin, not the seafood
fluffypony: I'm still trying to figure out the raison d'être for CLAMs
fluffypony: have we spoken about the new Just Dice yet?
mircea_popescu: so the "legal process" in california is so very effectual, guy walks o jesus. ok, ima write this up.
mircea_popescu: "It also shows that he has no material unencumbered assets, and that his encumbered assets (primary residence and vehicles) have no equity."
mircea_popescu: so the tardstalk schmucks were going around acting as if this utter bum is somehow a businessman.
mircea_popescu: from Mr. Barber, even if a judgment was already in hand today. This factor weighed heavily in the Debtors’ and Committee’s decision-making."
mircea_popescu: "Mr. Barber does not have the ability to fund a defense of any cause of action and would likely be forced into a chapter 7 if forced to defend against claims brought by the estate. The financial statement suggests that such a chapter 7 filing would be determined to be a “no asset” case. Accordingly, the Debtors and the Committee believe that absent a settlement, it would be very difficult to collect anything at all
assbot: Logged on 08-12-2014 15:26:33; mircea_popescu: "Mr. Barber’s financial statement shows that he is currently insolvent on a balance sheet basis."
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell zaht http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-12-2014#948202 there you go, close enough. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "Mr. Barber’s financial statement shows that he is currently insolvent on a balance sheet basis." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: basically guy ain't going to jale.
mircea_popescu: "They believe the extreme difficulty of collection that the Debtors and/or the Committee will face in the event a judgment is entered against Mr. Barber warrants an approval of the Mutual Release, subject to the right of the Debtors and the Committee to pursue claims against Mr. Barber to the extent there is insurance coverage available to pay such claims."
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron these numbers are i suspect based in biology. they're not about to change.
danielpbarron: is 15% monthly gains considered a conservative estimate or what? are the tardstalkers still so gullible?
BingoBoingo: Sure. They figured if pets.com could get dollars dumped on them, any idea could get them paid. On the other hand Bitcoin even in the earliest days supposed people STFU and get in line.
mircea_popescu: the pets.com thing, incidentally, was exactly opposite to bitcoin : wildly popular with the something awful centered libtard crowd.
BingoBoingo: Amazing how the forum dreams have shrank from million BTC datacenters to, pls halp my store.
mircea_popescu: Oct 13 04:07:13 *jdany has quit () heh i knew i saw the name.
