ascii_field: but answer is no, it wasn'
t a proper beta account, it was a one-off demo that dissolved in ~month
ascii_field: it wasn'
t an early beta, it was a demo just for me
ben_vulpes: i don'
t feel like loading the MPEx api into my head today.
jurov: mp is the only one to qualify being on mpex, didn'
t you know?
mircea_popescu: if you can upgrade your key for free, you don'
t have to pay mpex, you can just find someone with a key they don'
t want to use anymore and they can "upgrade" theirs to yours.
☟︎ ascii_field: they cannot be undiscovered, yes. and don'
t have a baked-in temporal peg
mircea_popescu: you can'
t un-discover some integers in a certan mathematical relation.
mircea_popescu: there are some things that don'
t need fixing. what needs fixing re gpg is to use rsa throughout, rather than the current lulzatron.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field makes keys too big, doesn'
t actually offer anything other than the equivalent "at key promulgation, use it to sing a list of nonces, with understanding that statements w/io the nonce are void", let wot enforce this.
mircea_popescu: owner 2 can always repudiate future signatures on the grounds that "it wasn'
t really me"
ascii_field: decimation: no, and can'
t imagine why i'd care
davout: yup, wasn'
t sure of whether *proxies* updated keys as opposed to the engine, but i guess that yes, it's pretty plainly written
ascii_field: (the other thing is, he didn'
t forbid upgrading keys - simply happens to charge 30 btc for the service)
davout: hmm, if it doesn'
t update keys you can start with a non expiring one and add the expiration date after opening your acct
davout: mpex either speaks GPG or it doesn'
t jurov: you usually don'
t know in advance when a key needs to expire or get invalidated
davout: also if the transfer procedure is specified in the initial contract that shouldn'
t be a problem
mod6: <+jurov> can'
t we just use namecoin? << yeah, I thought maybe this was addressed in the logs before...
jurov: can'
t we just use namecoin?
mod6: In this case, wouldn'
t you just be called "Juraj Variny (jurov) <rini17@gmail.com>"
jurov: i don'
t remember any concrete proposal
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 06:15:47; mircea_popescu: davout btw, isn'
t your paymiumthing an exchange ?
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 01:37:03; mircea_popescu: danielpbarron and since we're doing future references : you don'
t want a 20% of empty sky and cut calves.
cazalla: the shit is so pervasive that you can'
t find his originals half the time lol
trinque: "I don'
t think you can raid b-a anon" << lol!
trinque: see that's why you don'
t do it in C
copypaste: They don'
t allow HTTP content on HTTPS pages anymore.
cazalla: gee that didn'
t take long for people to accuse copypaste of being mircea_popescu
cazalla: guy didn'
t get sacked either
decimation: it's possible someone is using infrastructure for a private purpose, but I can'
t imagine it is officially sanctioned
mircea_popescu: maybe because bitcoin doesn'
t run right on windows, who knows.
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 22:19:52; danielpbarron: i don'
t have a problem with USG getting 1/3 of all the bitcoin; the can only spend it once
trinque: mircea_popescu: selection thing isn'
t working, last paragraph?
mod6: this is bizzare. i can only get the ssh keys to work /after/ I set a password on the user acount on the instnace (in /etc/shadow). if the user doesn'
t have a password set, just asks for a pw when connecting. (gentoo uclibc hardened) am i missing something obvious?
menahem: i don'
t know whats up - but links to selections aren'
t working for me. they were at first, but not anymore.
mircea_popescu: and i'm not entirely sure the meta-universe is open to you at all. there isn'
t any space for you to "Act upon" in this enlightened, gender savvy, "i am an actor in a movie and i read the script" sense.
assbot: Why "representative democracy" doesn'
t work and doesn'
t make sense on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1e2CTQT )
mircea_popescu: "you can'
t halfass bitcoin" is the thing. which property is why i was musing that it's more like a force of nature than anything else.
mircea_popescu: trinque essentially, an application of "bitcoin is bitcoin" is what sunk gavin. they still mostly can'
t believe it happened, but it did. it will again. in practice, you either implement a broken, pared down version of bitcoin, in which case bitcoin defeats you, or else you implement a correct version, in which case... you've implemented bitcoin.
copypaste: I didn'
t notice the different URL, sorry ;)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you gotta appreciate, the usg is not the only one mining, nor has it been. at this point, the deployment you contemplate might allow it to catch up, but won'
t do much more than that.
copypaste: It won'
t work with the iframe method. I would need the source code of that file and run it on 8chan's server
copypaste: mircea_popescu: No, but most browsers won'
t allow HTTP in HTTPS pages.
copypaste: it won'
t work correectly because most of our requests are served over HTTPS
cazalla: doesn'
t seem anyone wants to bang #3
mircea_popescu: the human body has some permissible cuts, and the calves aren'
t it. if you don'
t cut the neck, the next is the torso, between lower rib and belly button, and if you don'
t cut that you don'
t cut anything.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron and since we're doing future references : you don'
t want a 20% of empty sky and cut calves.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mxtm: Not really. only encoded with 4 letter character set.
T, C, A, G
BingoBoingo: Nah, station wagons has always been the premier unit of data transfer and what is money, but data on who doesn'
t suck
mircea_popescu: anyway, ima add more etc, but doesn'
t need to bother you.
danielpbarron: maxwell, didn'
t you register a key under the nickname mxtm?
trinque: I mean this assumes whatever sub-groups within the thing haven'
t been mining on their botnets for years
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski they didn'
t do their homework at all. they're a very easy target for the "eco" lobby, and will be murdered as they can'
t afford to pay those leeches.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1050103 << don'
t be ridiculous. for one thing, commodizing asic mining is a larger task than commodizing cpu arch. for the other, they're a fucking sv corp, they're not going to DO ANYTHING. just sit around and talk about shit. preferably at "conferences", or else "liveblog" it.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: hm i guess my hypothesis is that usg won'
t claim enough of remaining unmined btc to throw a wrench in the individual sovereignty of those in #b-a.
mircea_popescu: well, the romanians needed a peace that didn'
t consist of rape.
mircea_popescu: it's not like, oh, i need something from him. i don'
t. he needs shit from me, in the future, and he won'
t get it, and the reason is exactly right here.
mircea_popescu: does usg-effective mean "bitcoin needs a decision making process which a) doesn'
t include mp as we've been pretending was the case all along and b) overrepresents us, as we've idem" ?
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 20:54:52; kakobrekla: i don'
t see a reason why not.
trinque: I don'
t buy it for a second.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: who leads ? i dunno. doesn'
t israel have some chip fab facilities ? other than that, china.
danielpbarron: 51% attack is the most credible threat, and even then they can'
t FIATize bitcoin (they can'
t break the rules)
pete_dushenski: all i know is that '21 inc' sure as fuck isn'
t disrupting my sleep ad libitum.
danielpbarron: i don'
t have a problem with USG getting 1/3 of all the bitcoin; the can only spend it once
☟︎ danielpbarron: i thought the point of that essay was that bitcoin is the grand exception -- the cake that can'
