a strong message. I think we may need to start an accreditation scheme for Bitcoin-consensus compliant wallets and services. Through code signing and use of multisig, we can even distinguish transactions made by compliant wallets and non-compliant wallets, and have pools not mine them (or wallets refuse to send to known-non-compliant wallets).'
Framedragger: re. purchased honesty, well i dunno, two business partners entering business arrangement.. that's
a thing that happens (cue mp "as we have seen, it doesn't! so can't ever!1")
Framedragger: yep, the only way this 'may' work if you have
a partner whom you fully trust, and the arrangement of which somehow does not involve monetary compensation. which is ~untenable
☟︎ Framedragger: in consideration, machine + operator having keys is not
a good idea and the risk is indeed multiplied. 2-of-2 sig doesn't work if one can do basic arithmetic.
mircea_popescu:
a Framedragger walks into
a bar, and the bar goes WHAM!
mircea_popescu: dutches demanding less than
a pig would be workable economcially. but chronical rotinculo/mortidafame who imagine they should get the moon on
a golden platter, these aren't economically interesting.
mircea_popescu: there are, more broadly and more sadly, no robotic human or alien solution s available to dealing with the usgtard to his satisfaction. because he's worth less than
a pig and demands more than
a duchess.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: no; neither do they deal with EC backdoors or sun exploding. having
a practical but limited-in-scope threat model is not useless in itself.
Framedragger: implementing
a procedure to refund all bets if no signature by $key into $system, say. not that it's not easy to fuck this up royally.
mircea_popescu: if you think "switch" as described may cost as much as 1% of the total cost structure, voila, he has
a $2 arrangement in place.
davout: or just, on
a week end
mircea_popescu: seems somewhat unlikely
a dude that paid 100 btc for it last year would run off with 10.
mircea_popescu: so like 27 bets worth
a few pennies each, maaaybe 5-10 btc total ?
a111: Logged on 2016-05-01 17:36 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda too lazy to deedbot
a list of the various spots in logs where the fact that bitbet keeps no logs was discussed. seems about 99 and 3/4% that the whole point there was to create an entry point for later parallel construction, "o look what bitbet logs show".
trinque: just making
a general comment about the guy not having much of
a wot presence
a111: Logged on 2017-04-14 14:57 mod6: with both of my RNG-TWs connected, it was collecting at about 7kB/s ... for that quick 10s test or so to ensure that it was
a "full speed"
trinque:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-14#1643440 << yep, turns out I pebkac'd, series of misunderstandings of how sendmany worked. got
a tx out with double fee (0.0002), which still wasn't enough, so I've now double-spent that tx with
a 0.0005 fee.
☝︎ mod6: with both of my RNG-TWs connected, it was collecting at about 7kB/s ... for that quick 10s test or so to ensure that it was

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other wins for "social justice" and just being
a retard generally, pretty much every online game defaults to making your avatar brown-skinned with the next option being some sort of african black. because TOTALLY not
a vast majority of white boys play these things, and there's ABSOLUTELY nothing ridiculous about
a bunch of teenaged male drones going around with the equivalent of little gril pillows of themselves.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> Last updated at block 461176. << is that like 3 days ago ? << i think trinque's node was down for repair for that wallet thing. might be behind
a bit. not sure tho...
mod6: <+CompanionCube> unfortunately I can't read romanian. << i used to translate trilema from .ro for,
a long while before it was ever written in english.
CompanionCube: lol: 'They used fake details for the domain registry. The "company" behind the domain is Polimedia which is currently in "Forfeited Existence" in Texas. The registry info has been the same even before they switched owners
a year ago.'
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform
a good half of police work in all times, interfacing with bored / insane middle aged women. << did alf just flip on his scanner?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
a good half of police work in all times, interfacing with bored / insane middle aged women.
mircea_popescu: the variety of wasps they have here is staggering. i got TWO kinds nesting, one's
a perfectly harmless paper wasp, they eat the polen off
a vine growing ion the fence. the other's
a mud hut building guy, i think he eats spiders. then
a third really fearsome type showed up evidently praying on the first type... then later
a fourth super tiny kind was discovered when one fell in my drink....
mircea_popescu: i haven't yet seen one. or i think i might've seen one, that may also have been
a misidentified wasp
mircea_popescu: it's
a wonder they sell that, btw, considering how easy it is to kill someone with it.
mircea_popescu has never lived in
a place with smoke detectors. is
a good life.
mircea_popescu: indolent has the same root, "one who feels no pain", in the sense of the pain of being
a worthless pos. like legendarily some species of africans, "not worth the whipping".
mircea_popescu: (no, by no means the first case of "let's take republic wealth and "sell"/give it to usg". our short but rich history is littered with that sort of dorkitude, from
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Abugpowder to name your poison, which is how "taking investors" ie, allowing outsiders into the wealth even got such
a bad name in the first place. the last fucking thing i want is MORE mentally stunted midgits making
a profit
a111: 2016-10-22 <znort987>
A fresh set of opinions on the topic would be welcome
mod6: I'll write up something and put up the pics somewhere. making thumbnails is
a pain in the ass... but will do it anyway.
mod6: fwiw, I hope that wasn't
a sort of spam for the deedbot.
mircea_popescu: (the link is particularly funny for the amounts. when it comes to turkey dollars, usg is really poor. 40k here, 10k there, 5k overages accounted for ---
a far cry from the "we lost one trillion dollars in 100 bills that never existed" dept of war fare.)
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 17:50 mircea_popescu: not for
a fucking second. he is enabling the misbehaviour of 30yo children. i gotta do more work bitchlapping these idiot cunts into the ground because he buys them food and doesn't makle them pay for the shiot they break.
a111: Logged on 2015-06-05 18:36 mircea_popescu: "[Personal experience: I have taken on
a recent high school grad (friend’s son) as an intern in my web development business. He was an above-average student in
a Harvard University intro CS class and also completed AP Computer Science in high school plus an additional programming class. His current productivity is about 1/100th of
a $25/hour Ukrainian or Filipino contract programmer so any wage+benefit package above
mod6: i may give some other boxen
a try here at some point too. got
a handfull of gentoo boxes, freebsd, openbsd, etc.
mod6: naw, I gave up on gentoo for the time being, and just used
a old deb build machine i've got laying around.
mircea_popescu: o, you mean like they obsoleted the only remaining useful us plane without having as much as
a proper paper replacement for it ?
mircea_popescu: it is
a more difficult taks than immediately apparent.
mircea_popescu: now if you were poor and "from
a needy family" or however "two idiots had kids" is doublespoken today...
trinque: asciilifeform having
a great day over here; what bile?
mircea_popescu: trinque that's accurate, actually. "shit improved by the radical communist branch of usg".
a sort of "Bitcoin foundation" avant la lettre, "GNu the african antelope".
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: it is
a thing ben_vulpes is baseline familiar with, believe it or not!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes they're not plumbing lines. there is such
a thing as brain-blood barrier.

a day (with regular non vibrating brush, and i reuse the floss untill it splits apart or breaks) -- hadn't been to the dentist in over 8 years; went in last year and they tell me my teeth are in great shape considering, although i did have to get some cavities fixed (mostly in wisdom teeth which is expected. and yes i still have my wisdom teeth
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i dare not say, it's more of an emergent effect,
a piece from one,
a piece of another, and you get
a log full o' it
a111: Logged on 2017-04-13 13:52 Framedragger: i'll grant you that i'm this overly naive kid as regards these matters. but i fear the psychological alternative :) (becoming an angry man full of bile; principle of charity has
a psychological function to me, too). and eh, 'empire'. very binary
Framedragger: huh gdb's `bt` is not giving me backtrace. i put
a breakpoint on recvfrom(), it got called and everything, and `bt` gives me squat. compiled with debug symbols. go back to school framedragger
