mpmcsweeney: haha I mean outside of BitPay I dont know
too much about Khan's investments
mpmcsweeney: but
to my knowledge (I used
to be in
the marketing content biz and I have asked) we've never gone down
that road
BingoBoingo: Well more concerning
than sponsored content are
the funder's other investments
mpmcsweeney: hrm whenabouts was
that? admittedly I have only been working here for 6 months
BingoBoingo: mpmcsweeney: You can hang here, just be aware
that... Coindesk kind of does
the sponsored content
thing...
The just do
the plausible deniability
thing
too...
mpmcsweeney: our only revenue generator currently are
the recent ads we kicked off
Adlai: didn't
that one
twit/redditor get an email back agreeing
to publish a sponsored feature?
Adlai: mpmcsweeney: anything you care
to say publicly (this channel is logged) about
their sponsored content practices?
mpmcsweeney: happy
to exit if y'all wish, but
this seem slike a cool crypto forum and Id like
to hang if possible
Adlai: cazalla:
tl;dr: a decentralized readership
token offloads some risk from
the administrators
to
the asset bagholders
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Manul pick and place... once
the immune system is worked out
Adlai: another way of looking at it: you auction off
tokens
to guage readership interest,
then reserve hosting capacities accordingly
Adlai: rather
than hoping
that revenue exceeds expenses
Adlai: you can calculate exactly how much you need
to raise
to cover costs, and price readership
tokens accordingly
Adlai: less risky for
the blog administrators
Adlai: the advantage of using colored coins is
that it should be fairly straightforward
to adapt
trilema's readership credit code
to deal with
them
assbot: Stiletto
TICLW12 ClawBar
Titanium Nail Puller - Stilletto Nail Puller - Amazon.com
Adlai: (or some other asset issuance
thingy if you don't like colored coins)
Adlai: how about monthly ppv
token auctions
through colored coins?
mpmcsweeney: some asshole was on Bloomberg
TV
talking about native advertising, its a real shame what has become of
the written word
cazalla: mebe we can run a kickstarter BingoBoingo, what do you
think
cazalla: Monthly Bandwidth
Transfer 21.68 GB / 48.83 GB, first day on new host, "we're gonna need a bigger boat"
Apocalyptic: and was looking for a programmer
to help him
Apocalyptic: so about
this Mintpal critical bug,
there was a guy in -otc some days ago claiming he found a bug

Adlai: at some point i want
to make indicators based on
the philosophy
that my bot uses, since none of
the existing ones exactly mirror
this
Adlai didn't, although he may go
to an upcoming conference
cazalla: i watched parts of
that lawsky video
Adlai: but i'm currently unable
to produce "news" other
than
that
Adlai: not
that i'm saying anybody has done
that
Adlai would want
to contribute an original article, not just paraphrase/edit shitty pieces from other sites
BingoBoingo: Adlai: A wordpress alternative
that runs in Emacs?
Adlai is still
thinking of ideas for
that
mpmcsweeney: crypto is
the best story in
technology yet
Adlai: we folks are a strict superset of
the qntra
team
mircea_popescu: it's just about derpy enough
to be any random redditard.
cazalla: it has
to be andreas, he's had enough
mircea_popescu: cazalla you know how it is, give it a minute
try again
cazalla: front page works, posts won't
though mircea_popescu
cazalla: good a
time as any for a few beers i guess
BingoBoingo: Well for price comparison
though you need internet vendor
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: For some
tools,
the only vendors don't care where money is headed because
they have inventory
Needhelp: If you read
the comments, you should get both sides of
the story. My bet is
the last one in, someone is claiming it was after bet was determined, but
the
time stamps should show it was 38 minutes before
the deciding
trade.

BingoBoingo: Also where is pankkake when you need a
troll
Needhelp: Was hoping someone could
take a look and see if I'm an idiot and missing something, or if I'm right.
Needhelp: Potential problem in
the site with a finished bet. I
think someone is
trying
to claim my bet is invalid in comments, but I
think it is.
Needhelp: Thanks, are
there any admins for bitbet here?
mircea_popescu: at which point he moved
to actual ddos as opposed
to wordpress reflect crud, which is being mediated in
the normal manner.
mircea_popescu: that resulted in a ban for any node calling
the fucking obviously nonstandard url
mircea_popescu: mike_c 90% of
the attack was mitigated simply by using a html file for root, instead of
the php. guy did like 3 blasts before figuring it out.
then it did a blast in which instead of / he called /index.php?[randnumber]
mike_c: how are you mitigating
the attack? big ip ban lists?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the first ~2mn lines all carry
the
tell
tale GET / HTTP/1.0" 508 7287 "-" "WordPress/4.0;
http://autobg.eu; verifying pingback from 94.102.51.30 headers.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Wordpress was
their last weapon.
mircea_popescu: cazalla BingoBoingo anyway, we're on
to actual ddos, no more of
that wordpress mickey mouse bs
PinkPosixPXE: asciilifeform: For serious security, perhaps yes, but everything runs on hardware, it's just
the software layer
that interacts with how entropy is derived from
teh hardware wether it's something you plug in or something you run on a server
cazalla: anyone else getting "You don't have permission
to access /index.php on
this server." on qntra.net?
PinkPosixPXE: When
the Mycelium Entropy is inserted into
the USB drive, hardware-based entropy is harnessed
to create a large,
truly random, number.
The random number is generated using a static RAM chip, which Holcomb, D.E.; Burleson, W.P.; and Fu. K. have proven is capable of generating “128-bit
true random numbers.”
This number is
then used as
the seed
to generate a private key and corresponding Bitcoin
PinkPosixPXE: it uses /dev/urandom, it's not hardware driven, it just pulls entropy
through rng-tools software, rather
than 'mouse input' or 'disk activity' etc.
PinkPosixPXE: Fixed my issue earlier
today, entropy isn't solely hardware dependant,
PinkPosixPXE: So we have
to increase entropy somehow.
This can be done with rng-tools, a package
to use a hardware
true number generator (TRNG). Don't worry, you don't need any extra hardware, we will use /dev/urandom as our
true number generator.
PinkPosixPXE: ignore
the debian portion, rng-tools is something most OS's should have available
mircea_popescu: mkay, so with
the 3rd attack
the list of goat's botnet ips went from 1k
to 3k items
BingoBoingo: At
the moment universe is headed
to a hate death, because Wordpress's Matt Mullenwang dunno priorities
assbot: Helping
The Random Number Generator
To Gain Enough Entropy With rng-tools (Debian Lenny) | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and
Tutorials
PinkPosixPXE: hehe, well now
the
theory has changed
to
the "cold death" of
the universe, as it's expanding at an ever increasing rate, and galaxies/etc. are moving further away
