kakobrekla: BingoBoingo once you get a hang of it its not more complicated than breaking
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: My concern is more the rural roads where I'll be cruising and then an old person in a buick or fucking red neck in a tractor interupts me.
mircea_popescu: omfg who are these idiots
kakobrekla: cant find the one i had in mind.
kakobrekla: something like this
BingoBoingo: gears become a hassel when you share the road with American drivers
kakobrekla: eh? i dont even think about gears when driving
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That car anology explains sucinctly why I stay with automatic transmissions. I respect the limits of my ability to control a motor vehicle and anything that reliably saves me cogitive overhead is welcome.
bloctoc: does the 1% go to NAV calculation immediately?
mircea_popescu: anyway, f.mpif may performance, 4.42419221, a little over 1%. 0.5ish of it went to cover for last month's misrepresentation of atc, leaving a little 1% clear.
kakobrekla: dpaste is not permanent however so perhaps this needs to go someplace else
mircea_popescu: a ty
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla, what's it mean to mpif ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Looks like we might have to call it 200 satoshis
thestringpuller: yea. sadly the n00b me should have invested in MPCD, but as you once said. We pay for our lessons.
mircea_popescu: i fail to see how some forum nitwit implementing badly what he's read of mpoe-pr's posts counts as anything.
mircea_popescu: "Back in April we explained to a mostly innocent community what a CDO is and how’d it work."
thestringpuller: i want to say June
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: unfortunately usagi doesn't keep comprehensive records like yourself so I have to guess
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller, when was this nyan.a thing made ?
thestringpuller: just seeing those numbers again 2 years later, really really made it clear
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: the funny thing is usagi claims you copied his NYAN fund. But in actuality you took the concept and did it correct. Despite how many scammers were parading as "asset issuers", you managed to recoup ~52% of the original capital invested. MPCD.A based on your statements actually made a profit (since MPCD.A got paid out before B and C of course), etc.
mircea_popescu: a nm there it is,
mircea_popescu: jurov: does anyone know what is last official NAV of F.MPIF? << you'll have to report your trades before that can be published yu know.
mircea_popescu: decimation: They audited: the bootloader and the Windows driver << lolaudit oif all time.
Blazedout419: that icedrill is a train wreck
kakobrekla: late to the party.
gribble: You rated user deadterra on Wed Sep 4 18:41:21 2013, with a rating of -5, and supplied these additional notes: sloppy opprtunistic unreliable, bad at what he does, avoid.
mircea_popescu: "that bingoboingo thinks he can drive because he's never tried to put the gearbox in reverse straight from the 4th."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Thank you for continuing against Usagi. His declaration of "Let me tell you about bingoboingo. He is a successful fund manager because he has never had to weather the storm of an exchange shutdown. Wake up." made me lol. << makes two of us.
assbot: Manipulism and the Weapon of Guilt
mircea_popescu: chetty: http://manipulism.com/ << theyre prolly on to something
Naphex: but explains some of the canary
assbot: TrueCrypt Website Says To Switch To BitLocker - Slashdot
benkay: does blockchain.info provide a testnet endpoint?
decimation: if you read the audit report, see Appendix B to see the "code quality" issues
BingoBoingo: decimation: And if you put that together with the identified problems adding to the task
decimation: I can sympathize with wanting to quit ... trying to make x86 hardware secure is a herculean task
nubbins`: tell that to my trumpet!
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: It's all about the Tuba
nubbins`: BingoBoingo it's not the size of the brass but how you apply the lips ;D
fluffypony: nubbins`: at least you'll be able to tell people that you blow a damn good trumpet
jurov: from http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=1-05-2014 i gather nav did not change, just MP put 1.05% haircut in the price
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well, I guess if you wanted to quit, tripping your NSA canary would be a hell of a way to go out
decimation: kako: which part? that the crazy argentinians would build a village with insufficient flood protection, or the idea of people riding old bicycles through the ruins of western civilization?
thestringpuller: !up twentyseventy
decimation: to be fair, the exploits on ascii's link appear to be attacks on a running system, not a cold system
jurov: i'm working on report and want to price them
decimation: based on my point about the "audit" though - and asciilifeform's link, one must wonder why the USG would bother when it's probably weak
thestringpuller: YOU TELLIN ME TO PAY FOR THINGS ALL DA TIME
thestringpuller: benkay: just buy the book
Naphex: its probably true,
jurov: i bought it to my kindle, did not downloaded yet
BingoBoingo: Naphex: It isn't really, but supports the idea that the worst must be assumed
Naphex: BingoBoingo: how is that confirmed o.O;
decimation: Obama: Those who argue otherwise -- who suggest that America is in decline or has seen its global leadership slip away -- are either misreading history or engaged in partisan politics.
bitcoinpete: and with that, i bit ye a hasty adieu. it might be tuesday before i get back...
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: mircea_popescu kakobrekla since i'm still not 100% clear on the pirate insurance thing, i've updated the usagi article to include the milk story, since that seems to be more solid footing
BingoBoingo: Naphex: Not from me atm. mircea_popescu has some issues with it when he needs to log in.
Naphex: BingoBoingo: so after 1 month of usage any suggestions/complaints regarding the frontend?
decimation: vox populi, vox dei. So as long as you get the people to say/think/do what you want, it's legitimate
nubbins`: ah, who knows? most of them never get opened
thestringpuller: nubbins`: the private key is unredeemable so to speak
decimation: chetty: re: manipulism >> It's a straight line from "let's have every man and woman vote for government" to manipulation of mass opinion
nubbins`: there are plenty of 1 BTC silvers with really poor, uneven lasering on the edges of the holos
thestringpuller: has there ever been any defective casascius coins
BingoBoingo: Well, in the future the BTC/RON operation will likely have months with bigger swings. There may also be months where it just sits, like ATC/BTC did for the most part.
decimation: chetty lol. The US is already there
pankkake: but that's less fun for a BTC fund
pankkake: that's what got me - I have more EUR than initally but would have done better if stayed in BTC. not that I really care as I wanted to stay in EUR for the time being
assbot: I once read a joke describing the inferiority complex facilitating social equili - Pastebin.com
decimation: They audited: the bootloader and the Windows driver
decimation: Security tokens
decimation: Rescue Disks code paths activated when the disk does contain the private key
decimation: Volume parsing as it relates to a file container
decimation: The assessment explicitly excluded the following areas:
BingoBoingo: Also there's the part where any high price could become BTC's new permanently elevated plateu
decimation: Note what they chose to *not* audit on page 2:
decimation: re: truecrypt audit: https://opencryptoaudit.org/reports/iSec_Final_Open_Crypto_Audit_Project_TrueCrypt_Security_Assessment.pdf
BingoBoingo: I'm actually kind of surprised the BTC/RON operation avoided a loss, but the $525 to $500 yo-yo stayed with us long enough for Naphex's exchange to catch up.
chetty: it is in the nature of people to project the bad stuff they are up to onto others.
pankkake: my own tries at trading btc/eur haven't been very successful. at least I know what I'm not good for
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Only privately trading for Mircea
thestringpuller: sometimes I guess it pays to be a bit more pedantic
pankkake: I thought BB managed a fund earlier than MPIF, I was confused
thestringpuller: I should have said something like "one of the funds managers"
thestringpuller: ugh I need to learn to type too chetty
BingoBoingo: I still can't belive Usagi called me a fund manager. I manage four piles of money. Everything that goes into making it a fund is through Mircea. This distinction is evidence of the root of Usagi's failure.
thestringpuller: chetty: i need to learn a lot of things :P
pankkake: I think I got only 1 block at that diff
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: And remember that a small number of positive rating isn't necessarily an endorsement.
thestringpuller: oh yea I remember that. I think it's in the WoT too that's why kako has him at 1 and not neg rated
chetty: foget teaching gpg, got to learn to read first
thestringpuller: fluffypony: where did you read that?
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: Yeah, the kakobrekla situation reads like a negotated settlement.
assbot: BMF has lost access to it's wallet [UnModerated]
fluffypony: oh bitcoinpete on that topic
assbot: May Combined trading statement | Bingo Blog
BingoBoingo: I'm not at all surprised this http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/06/01/may-combined-trading-statement/ didn't spark f.mpif trading activity in either direction.
bitcoinpete: though perhaps i misrepresented the kakobrekla bit
