the Android app wrapping system so
that an image can be wrapped up with malware, and delivered inside an innocuous wrapper app, which gets past both security apps and Google's Bouncer.
The basis of

they dubbed AngeCrypt)
that makes

thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: lol i wish i had
that kind of budget << instead of paying for college pay for full
time
tutor for 4 years?
RagnarDanneskjol: well - he's not just a
tutor - he's building stuff
too -
talkin bout Azlph
RagnarDanneskjol: none
taken - I know my security leaves much
to be desired.. why I hired a fulltime
tutor
thestringpuller: ^ MP must say at least once a day, "i'm
too old for
this shit"
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski> it feels like bitcoin is accelerating
that process!
ben_vulpes: it's a forging of some kind.
trial by fire.
thestringpuller: old pete_dushenski will one day
think like Jeezy, "Seen't it all"
pete_dushenski: and i said we're doing pgp or irc. but he'd "lost his key" so had
to make another...with kryptokit!
pete_dushenski: this was after anthony
tried calling me several
times, leaving voicemails about how he "didn't know i felt
that way about ethereum" and shit.
pete_dushenski: anthony di iorio, very memorably (because i've never seen
this before), replied
to my gpg-gram... in plaintext. and it included my original email. in plaintext.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller ya, everything vitalik and his co-derp anthony
touch are utter nonsense.

thestringpuller: vitalik buterin is on
the
team? kinda figures "javascript in da browser"
thestringpuller: "He's Canadian" << lol,
the canadians brought us Degrassi and indie rock!
assbot: A conceit, or
the importance of blogging pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
thestringpuller: ancient C codebase == software
that is more hardened over
time
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller so ya, dump bonds = us raises rates
to compete with market awash in dumped bonds.
thestringpuller: I forgot jgarzik was an advocate of GPG in
the web browser.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller i'm well familiar with
that one. i linked several other
trilemas
to make my case.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
this is also quite right. either russia or china can in fact raise interest rates causing a collapse. <<
their own rates? or just dump some us bonds and
trigger us rate increase?
thestringpuller: You didn't link
the article on "the problem of
too much money"
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: a quarter bn in 2014 ? seriously ? all into shit ? << lol.
tip of
the derpberg.
pete_dushenski: and
there hasn't been any anonslaught for
the latest piece. but it's only been a few hours.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i'll repent by updating my "how
to run a node" article with ben_vulpes' final work :)
mircea_popescu: how's
the anon onslaught ? you been made
to repent yet ?
mircea_popescu: so
that bitcoin split among a pro and a noob division is scarcely amazing.
mircea_popescu: the noobs aren't really capable of handling
the sort of requirements
to dld a full chain.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to be perfectly fair :
the bdb arrangement wasn't really
tenable on
the long haul. it had
to be replaced with a better db.
ben_vulpes: should la serenissima publish a
torrent?
mircea_popescu: (it's actually
the point of
the
torrent palliative back in
the day)
mircea_popescu: course, you would be relying on
the verification done by
the op
ben_vulpes: provided set_lk_max_locks
type configs are in place?
ben_vulpes: but if you supply
the entire datadir, you can boot one install with another's blockchain?
mircea_popescu: there is one caveat, specifically,
that you must make a file named DB_CONFIG
that contains a set_lg_dir database set_lk_max_locks 500000
ben_vulpes: although if you'd be willing
to share your
tarball and a version number against which i could build
that might show some interesting
things on a block-by-block diffing
ben_vulpes: i'm not concerned about
the speed nearly as much as i am
the
thing working correctly with
the network.
mircea_popescu: it'll
take a few weeks, but what's
the rush, and
this way you get an authenti ccopy.
mircea_popescu: the ideal way would be for you
to let
the
thing sync naturally
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway, i'll pass you a signed
tarball
tomorrow ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i suppose "first otc rating" would be better way
to go about it no ?
mircea_popescu: and i imagine
they probably did all
the shitting
they can
mircea_popescu: it is, substantially, but it's indexed differently for
the latecomers.
TheNewDeal: I've just seen up
to block 315k on
tpb, but wasn't sure what
the file format was
mircea_popescu: but you don't want it
to sync anyway, just feed it a preindexed chain.
ben_vulpes: this is where docker starts coming in handy: instead of burning many hours on chasing down platform and architecture details
to get
the
thing
to work on os x, i'm leaning
towards just running 0.5.3 in a VM.
ben_vulpes: i also
think
that building on os x is a bad idea
ben_vulpes: i am considering bisecting
the codebase for building on os x
undata: artifexd: it
takes willingness
to admit one's own stupidity
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> how
the fuck it is code never shrinks ? << Code does shrink sometimes. But not due
to concentration on features or bugs. If it happens, it happens because
the developer grows and improves. One of my favorite days was deleting 60k lines of code
that I had written and replacing it with 100 lines. Simpler. Faster. Easier
to understand.
