kakobrekla: everything is terrible
kakobrekla: didnt say that
punkman: and that's a good reason?
kakobrekla: <cazalla> punkman, i thought so. i ask because this is the response i got when asking someone i'm looking at doing a story on "We believe there are a number of safe ways the keys can be generated by offline PCs, but do not disclose exact method(s) chosen for obvious reasons." < if its a bad implementation, you in fact increase attack surface even further
ben_vulpes: well you fill in that ellipses yourself.
ben_vulpes: but as i said, clobbering the back-button when reading hyperlinked documents is...
ben_vulpes: PeterL: yeah sure, custom stylesheet for contravex.com clobbering target="_blank"
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: no-irc << story here. a good fraction of irc bots are malware c&c commanders. hosting firms hate them, they draw fire (from upstream isp)
PeterL: If it is something like "pick a certain digit of pi to start at" then it would be a security breach to expose what you are doing
jurov: sugh, this is worse than obola.. i was not aware what various email clients do to text/plain
PeterL: cazella: maybe they are not making good entropy and are embarrased to admit it?
cazalla: punkman, i thought so. i ask because this is the response i got when asking someone i'm looking at doing a story on "We believe there are a number of safe ways the keys can be generated by offline PCs, but do not disclose exact method(s) chosen for obvious reasons."
PeterL: is there a way to change that behavior in your local browser?
cazalla: question if anyone can help - is there a genuine security reason for someone to refuse to disclose how they generate entropy for the private keys contained in their physical bitcoin coin products?
ben_vulpes: vile fucking practice, destroying the browse history.
pete_dushenski: why would i do that?
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: dude you gotta stop your blog from opening up links in new tabs
BingoBoingo: Adlai: I'm working on a write up atm on those

pete_dushenski: i understood los_pantalones as saying that people who "ended up on .derp" were traders, not the actual fucking derps!
kakobrekla: sending people to ba is not relevant to btc liquidity
kakobrekla: i think theres a misunderstanding going on here.
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla i musta missed how people go from mpex to using los_pantalones for btc liquidity?
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell DanielKrawisz Looking forward to seeing you rationalize this gem of a comment in the public forum: "No, more nodes arent more secure. A full node is valuable to the one running it, not anyone else"
los_pantalones: pete_dushenski it's not like i'm suggesting hundreds of people come in here, just the guys who end up on .derp

los_pantalones: over 185k traded last 30 days
kakobrekla: im totaly fine if they take the machine down for the needed period
kakobrekla: they are basically saying "hello idiot, put shoe on head, banana in anus to fix ddos"
kakobrekla: well, its not hard to beat "hi you have incoming ddos, I understand this can be frustrating as this type of attack is usually a sign that your droplet has been compromised"
punkman: I wouldn't expect vultr to be better but who knows
kakobrekla: maybe time to test retardation levels at vultr
kakobrekla: lol DO is being totally retarded
jurov: sooo... got two mailman installations with gpg patch, one rejects everything as "bad signature" the other accepts even usigned stuff despite configured not to

mats_cd03: everybody in the region except the US knows they'll have to negotiate with the taliban five years from now
mats_cd03: even afghan peasants are smarter than USG, apparently
mats_cd03: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/26/green-berets-tell-of-afghan-national-army-soldiers << green berets telling everybody who didn't already know the ANA is useless

assbot: Logged on 26-10-2014 04:06:13; ben_vulpes: cazalla: did you hear back from Conformal about the machines they used to come to their 32MB steady-state conclusion?
cazalla: pretty much this http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-10-2014#896425
ben_vulpes: cazalla: what did you actually ask them? i eventually realized that the 32mb line is the nominal largest size of a p2p message.

Naphex: as people get closer to their realization points
Naphex: it will probably take lots
mircea_popescu: i imagine the idea is that perhaps bitcoin futures may be made to work like gold futures. which won't work, but hey, if google got too much dough we can always take some.
mircea_popescu: doubt there's that much interest for usd futures, but hey.
bounce: ``Supporters of the company [...], believe that a U.S.-regulated, U.S.-based futures exchange for bitcoin would settle down some of the volatility of bitcoin prices'' -- because US awesomeness and USG rules fix everything

Naphex: "LedgerX Hopes to Establish First U.S.-Regulated Futures Exchange for Bitcoin"
Naphex: they're apperantly htting the presses with it
