mircea_popescu: now tell me she wouldn't be happier as a declared slave for a republican lord ; rather than a doublespoken slave for nobody-in-particular in the stupid empire.

Framedragger: (again, i may have gotten more info by physically presenting myself at a particular delivery office, showing ID and so on, but i wasn't up for that.)
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1634033 << that's all i have: http://imgur.com/a/SPFBI (stuff that was stickied on the parcel). i had unfortunately thrown out the 'postcard' from royal mail, but it was a single slip which literally only said "we can't post you this because this got held up. go online and put in a reference number". the latter opened a "PAY NOW" form, and that's it. ☝︎
Framedragger: sent query to n-gate (in the sense of reducing meaning to a tweet and pretending that's communication)

mircea_popescu: give it a moment.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if mircea_popescu dun feel like qntra -- BingoBoingo , then ? << I can/will qntra, but in the future when you are lulzing about the details of a thing and are unsure if editor is awake/digging-liming holes/trying to get older sober lady to 13th step him, maybe consider writing a qntra while you have and are playing with the details? Makes for more timely publication when editor is awake? Publication can happen faster when
asciilifeform: seem deliberately designed to prevent contributors having legal recourse in the case of misuse of your money. In either event, I believe the standards of transparency and integrity in this organization are well below what is needed for a blockchain project, which is why I can no longer a part of it.'
asciilifeform: Over the last two days 37500 ETH has been withdrawn from the multisig wallet by the CEO, Yonatan Ben Shimon without any explanation or announcement due to the need for "hedging". Yonatan keeps claiming he's working with Bitcoin Suisse and it's all okay, but so far I haven't seen any evidence of this. I suggest you all demand an explanation and keep a close watch. In all likelihood your guppies are worthless- the terms and conditions
asciilifeform: 'I regret to announce as cofounder of Matchpool that I am leaving this project. I was involved in architecting Matchpool, writing the white paper and writing the first draft of the smart contracts. I was not involved in the implementation of the ICO.

mircea_popescu just chopped up a coupla vanilla beans to sit in rum for eventual rompope

mircea_popescu: except it produced so much solid waste it'll take a few GW to clean up to some storable state.
asciilifeform: it's a find. betcha the earlier link is whole uni. of chicago solar scamatron.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually there's a bunch of similar boxes near where i live
asciilifeform: phf: pw is usually trivially reset, with a button. which is why the humane thing to do is to wipe his firmware.
asciilifeform: i once changed a neighbour's router admin pw to 'pigfucker'
CompanionCube wonders how they would find out. It's not like they'd *notice* a changed password

mircea_popescu: this is prolly worth of a qntra or something. who the fuck copies ssh keys across the field.
asciilifeform: tropos, huawei, hiveap, a few others.
mircea_popescu: this'd be a fine indication of infection/nsaization/extremely sloppy opsec corp/whatever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's a thought : some ssh rsa keys appear on VERY MANY different C (and B, and A) ip blocks. like say randomly http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/BB80CEE8E532296E5361984A0209C5DE0169809EA68E6D2F8DE43F7A3DC4443A and friends.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-04 22:32 mircea_popescu: think in terms of that cartoon re final cs class at stanford : "and you are the idiots who didn't get hired in 2nd or 3rd year". same deal, whoring is a fine plan for cut-above-rest 16yo. by the time she's 30 she's either married or too rich to care.
asciilifeform: 'President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing chief strategist Stephen Bannon from a key committee and restoring the roles of top intelligence and defense officials...'

asciilifeform: iirc there was even a 'smoking gun' in the clitler emails, but by then 'nobody cares'
mircea_popescu: came back later, of course. but for a few years -- everything was available at a quarter a pop.
asciilifeform: but as a massively-distributed long-term backup, aluminum is ~unbeaten -- it's probably the only reason asciilifeform was able to find a copy of genera ☟︎
asciilifeform: a pressed-blockchain aluminum disk set would help to cool the enthusiasm of idiots pushing for 'pruning', 'tx replacement', whichever lunacies crafted for 'let's make'em forget history'
asciilifeform: shinohai: well no. but you oughta have a binder with megatonne of old blox.
danielpbarron: oh you mean they don't sell the old ones? that's always been the case. they make a run and sell till they sell out
asciilifeform: a pressed disk has quite high nre cost but obscenely low unit cost.
asciilifeform: (yes, you will need a stack of disks, what, 15 dvd ? that ain't so much. and it compresses pretty well.)
asciilifeform: i still wonder how come nobody's pressed a disk of blockchain.
phf: right, 6.0 also had a cd, i think 5.9 is leftover stock
asciilifeform: 'Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!' -- openbsd www. lulzy.

phf: they are nifty cds. with artwork and "theme" and a bonus mp3 that somehow fits the theme. the works. oldschool artifact
asciilifeform: a stamped aluminum cd is second only to mask rom in longevity (i have cd 30+ yrs old) and immutability.
ben_vulpes: oh i'm sure i can modify a pressed aluminum disk
asciilifeform: this however is not true of a 'burned' disk.
asciilifeform: (it is not in fact practical to modify a pressed aluminum disk, with any current or foreseeable tech. mircea_popescu and asciilifeform had long thread about this at some point)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: a la lulu is SPECIFICALLY NOT IT
ben_vulpes: a la lulu?
