BingoBoingo: ;;later tell Pierre_Rochard You ask questions on twitter that have answers here
xanthyos: because they said so?
gernika: There must be some convoluted explanation as to why that's OK though
xanthyos: 50k btc sold under mkt value with unreleased results is a good way to lay the groundwork for intentional price plummet
mike_c: this guy has been pinging them once a month about his foia.. they went from stalling to ignoring. very gox of them. https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/usms-silk-road-bitcoin-auction-results-12405/
gernika: Anyone have any references to the legal rationale for selling seized assets prior to a verdict and before the appeals process has completed?

xanthyos: although how much of keyboarding is conscious and how much is muscle memory? does the body remember the sequence of muscle contractions well enough for the passphrase to be typed without knowing it/
kakobrekla: dissociative personalities < in such setup, does one personality have access to others passwords?
kakobrekla: yeah sure, that
nubbins`: kakobrekla runaway thoughts prevent one from using pgp? o.O
xanthyos: no, that analogy falls apart in that corporate personhood removes accountability while wot accounthood demands it
asciilifeform: nubbins` << can, possibly, prove who you are (for some value of 'who'), but not that you owned the key
nubbins`: not everyone can pull this off
nubbins`: the key is to be able to demonstrably prove that you are who you say you are without use of a pgp key
nubbins`: and if you'd done it before alice had been stolen, well, i suppose your alice1 woulda been stolen too, huh?
nubbins`: it's too late by that point
xanthyos: it's like warp 10, trust 10 simultaneously occupies every place of faith in the universe
nubbins`: see the thing is, you want a message from alice saying "alice1 is my backup pgp key in case this one gets stolen"
kakobrekla: i trust myself only with a 9
xanthyos: finally a time when 10 trust makes sense
xanthyos: yeah that's fine
nubbins`: how is this not adequate

xanthyos: so then i guess just as ratings can't be moved accounts probably can't be renamed
xanthyos: the concept of their name
xanthyos: i guess that protects people from making offensive name accounts and making it look like you endorse them
asciilifeform: are you rating the account or the person? << 'have sex - with humans; do business - with keys' (mircea)
mike_c: the account is the person.
kakobrekla: update the key in wot?
xanthyos: are you rating the account or the person?
mike_c: someone can move my rating to a different account? that's silliness.
xanthyos: my question was only if there was a way to merge so rerating wouldn't be an issue if one could prove via gribble to simultaneously own two accounts
mike_c: where "good" really means.. i don't think there is a good reason.
mike_c: my $0.02 is I wouldn't re-rate without a good answer to that question.
xanthyos: i can't go into that without giving explicit private information
mike_c: what's the rush? if she'll get alice1 back, just wair.
xanthyos: and upon recovering alice1 prove that both are the same and merge their ratings
asciilifeform: you and i shall be free to presume instead that alice is on a sea voyage, and alice2 is actuall nsa shill
xanthyos: can alice make wot account alice2 knowing that she'll get her alice1 account back eventually
xanthyos: alice has ratings in the wot
nubbins`: at least call these "hypothetical" people alice and bob so we can follow you
