mircea_popescu: the only way
to avoid
this is being in my wot. which
the derps in question are not. so
therefore
they do not exist.
mircea_popescu: i personally don't give a shit. my
thinking is, if im making a backloading hoe, i shall name my backloading hoe a backloading hoe. sure, someone may or may not exist figuring his hoe is
THE backloading hoe.
this does not interest me. if he has already built a "backhoe loading palace" or not, if and when i feel like building a backhoe loading palace, i shall call it... guess ?
decimation: I'm not sure
they are worth
the dignifying with
targeting
decimation: one might be able
to pinpoint
the generation of a new block
decimation: asciilifeform: I can
think of a use for a collection of zombie nodes: discover other nodes and relay
transactions
mircea_popescu: the rest is just claims. people can claim whatever
they like.
mircea_popescu: this is how derps learn. by finding
themselves in a situation where
the people
they aim
to impress laugh at
their cluelessness.
mircea_popescu: the idea is for people
to be able
to go "i support
the bitcoin foundation" and for derps
to go oh,
this
thing ? and for people
to lol superiorly at
their cluelessness.
mircea_popescu: so in
this sense, creating confusion with
the current bitcoin foundation is
the best
thing
that can happen, short of
the entire group of shitheads spontaenously combusting in a flame of shit.
mircea_popescu: the confusion
thus created is positive. it's
the confusion
that precedes
the move from sheer idiocy
to sanity.
mircea_popescu: and
then
they finally break up and
the sane 2nd guy calls himself ALSO a boyfriend
joecool: woah i just had a DoD ip
try
to get into my gmail
decimation: I might contribute a patch or
two if
the ball is rolling
decimation: well, I like
the idea of
taking back 'bitcoin foundation', but I find it likely
to confuse
decimation: last night it occured
to me - what if someone
took over a botnet and
then used it
to - create bitcoin nodes
mircea_popescu: and
that specifically includes "the countries", ie, governments and
their minions. it doth not include "the people" as such.
decimation: I guess
the important part is
that bureaucrats keep
their jobs, not
that owners keep
their property
decimation: so why isn't ftdi management going
to jail
mircea_popescu: murder is not in and of itself comparable. neither is rape. certainly not
theft.
decimation: I can't see how normal people see
this anything other
than bureaucrats covering
themselves, rather
than doing anything in 'the people's' interest
mircea_popescu: the cheek of
them fuckers, anyway. so wait, governments hacking individual phones is a ok, individuals exposing
the lies of governments is life in prison ?
decimation: I assume
that's
the phrase you were referencing mircea
decimation: it certainly seems
to me
that any owner of
the chinese copies has a good basis for a lawsuit
mircea_popescu: thus
the hack makes
the sane implementation null itself and fixes
the checksum
too, while
the original ignores both operations because not
two bytes involved.
mircea_popescu: decimation
the original only writes bytes in pair. sane implementation write bytes as presented
decimation: but presumably
the reimplemented devices are 'close enough' for
the standard ftdi driver
to work?
mircea_popescu: this is a case of, broken implementation uses its own brokenness
to deny
things
to better competitors
BingoBoingo: decimation: None of
the clones are actual duplicates,
they just "borrow" scarce usb id number
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from wqhat i understand
the problem is
that
they didn';t copy bug for bug. in
that
they write even bits,
the original does not
decimation: asciilifeform: if it's an exact duplicate, how do
they differentiate it from legit chips?
decimation: I can't ping it, it resolves
to 178.62.254.13
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo
the letters are right next
to each other.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: By
thanks you mean make sausage of?
decimation: wait, why would it be wrong
to put a wp pin?
decimation: or did
this get pushed in a windows update?
decimation: wait, so if windows includes driver,
this will only hurt
those who use an 'aftermarket' driver?
kakobrekla: yeah, say
thanks
to somenumberasletters guy
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2014 22:05:36; asciilifeform:
http://zeptobars.ru/en/read/FTDI-FT232RL-real-vs-fake-supereal << entirely different silicon. from
this we learn!!
that a)
they copied it because usb id is charged for by rent-seeking scumz0rs b) winblows includes ftdi driver already. relationship with microshit. so chinese were forced into
this.

tunnelling doesn't and can't happen for macroscopic objects like
that. quantum wave functions are sometimes bounded asymptotically in position.

kakobrekla: keeping
the key on
the server would defeat
the purpose of key?
kakobrekla: asciilifeform iirc last gribble auth was when nicks were changed, it does auth
to nickserv
though

Apocalyptic: western europe
too, (the nodes are chosen randomly so we don't have
the same ones probably)
kakobrekla: >Amen
to
that, entirely
too many assholes in
the cryptosphere
these days.
The entry barrier is no longer access
to coins, or ability
to mine. It is being able
to deal with all
the children and pricks
that
think
they know it all and
that
their ideology are law.
BingoBoingo: fivezerotwo: What, do you not like
the new favicon?
fivezerotwo: Meh, it's generally slow enough
to be unusable.
