<asciilifeform> the cheapo stock houses make a killing by charging xx usd / trade

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: there are plenty of people who are so focused on "mass adoption" as a priority that they will compromise any and all aspects of bitcoin to further that goal; what would get more mass adoption than endorsement from USG?
<< it could become a new brand of tide.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gavincoin's probably it.
<< no. in typical fashion they're trying to play it "anonymously". ie, not official.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: this is how athero was able to launch ziggap
<< not a very good example. he had amassed trust over time, and likely at a higher cost than what he made out of it. the controlling factor there was "insane guy stopped taking his pills one day."

http://cryptopals.com/ <- some nice lessons teaching how crypto works, how to attack it, and how easy it is to screw it up
artifexd:
<asciilifeform> speaking of which, did artifexd follow mircea_popescu's prescription and use a hacked gpg for 'gossip' ?
<< No. I'm using go's openpgp code. However, I'm structuring the code so that I can later add the option do the crypto via a shell out to gpg. Then you can use whatever version of gpg your heart desires.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: if illegalizing things did anything i'd make mosquitoes illegal

<< ha-ha. everyone you DON'T know knows the explanation. it was published on fucking trilema for crissakes, not even as a news item.

mircea_popescu: "With the two attacks we thwarted in 2014, the GUI development had to take a bit of a backseat."
<< in depth description ? links ? somehow for me to evaluate if they're due to the world being full of idiots (ddos ?) or the devs being idiots (we were using ruby!!1)
mircea_popescu: "OpenAlias is different. Not only does it "square Zooko's triangle" "

<< well... that's a point there, canada totally is a ponzi scheme.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i fail to see how a guaranteed payment would be inflationary but a guaranteed job not
<< depends on the definition of guaranteed job. guaranteed payments are always inflationary - that's the very definition of inflation : payment without a counterprestation. jobs however can be guaranteed in such a way that prestation is at the same time guaranteed, at least theoretically.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: chef, grocery shopper, dog walker

<< wot capabilit yintegration into assbot!
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: I may have missed it in the logs, but is someone explicitly working on an assbot with gribble functionality or are we going to wait for wotnet / gossipd?
