decimation: re: antiphase headphones -
they give me a weird headache if I use
them
too long. Also I find
that
they have rolloff at
the lower frequencies
joecool: asciilifeform: i wasn't
talking about hw bitcoin wallet implementations, i was
talking about openpgp smartcard implementations
joecool: ah i use IEM's,
they fit in pocket
mircea_popescu: jurov: someday people with perfect hearing will end up wearing hearing aids with noise suppression << i'll wear assault rifles with noise supression before i do

decimation: pro
tip: when someone is jerking randomly in
the water below a "no swimming - danger of electrocution" sign, don't jump in
to rescue
decimation: Although
there were 'No Swimming' signs
that warned of
the danger of electrocution, it was common practice for patrons
to swim at
the marina. ... Samantha
tried
to climb on a raft with Margaret when she suddenly started jerking in
the water. ... Another boater dove in
to save Samantha. He was shocked
too and barely escaped with his life. Sadly, Samantha died.
assbot: Sail-World.com : Why You Should Add an Isolation
Transformer
to your Boat
assbot: Streetlight Isolation
Transformers
decimation: it seems
to me
that
the 120 volt standard in
the US is extremely wasteful of valuable copper.
The US should switch
to
the global 220/240 v standard.
decimation: I found a few but it was clearly not a mainstream product. What would be nice is
to combine an isolation
transformer with
two secondary windings so you can choose your output voltage
decimation: I wanted
to buy a 1:2
transformer
to step-up my 120 volt generator
to 240 volt for heavy appliances
decimation: found
them googling around.
There are also
transformers sold for
the yacht market, but I'm sure
they are more expensive
decimation: Not cheap, I cannot vouch for
the quality
mike_c: well, wanted
to let you know i updated it a bit. if you look for an ad for a bet
that I haven't picked up yet it goes and gets it in real
time
joecool: i always assumed majority of griping on
them was from
the OTP end, not
the smartcard applet end
benkay: yeah but yubikey is
turd
joecool: yubikey neo has a javacard port of it, keys limited
to 2048bit
there
joecool: on
the same sense if you want a device
to
tool around with openpgp smartcard functionality
that's easier
to source
joecool: i didn't roll
them into usage until i started using multiple systems
benkay: but i already live on
this machine.
joecool: benkay:
this approach has
the advantage of portability
to a foreign system, i can fetch my pub keys and sign stuff with
the card, walk away with card and never worry about leaving keys on foreign system
benkay: the important part is
to generate revocation certs and store
them offline, and removing
the master key from
the daily use device
joecool: at
that point cannot use again until card is factory reset (destroys keys)
joecool: benkay: pinentry
through gnupg, it can be alphanumeric up
to a pretty long length
benkay: it's
that youthful slang
benkay: asciilifeform: on a scale of zero
to
turd, what's your
take on
the gnupg 'fellowship' smartcard?
joecool: then backup
the master and "mint" new cards from
that
joecool: though
there's some people
that gen
the keys on smartcard and never have it
touch a system, i
thought it better
to gen offcard (could feed more entropy)
artifexd: I recommend
that you follow BingoBoingo's advice and practice restoring your key from backup several
times before committing it
to
the wot.
joecool: i considered doing it
that way but went
the hardware route with smartcards
benkay: that last link will show you how
to set your keyring up acceptably professionally.
benkay: with it, one can
transmit messages only a known counterparty can read, decrypt messages
that only you can read, and sign messages in such a way
that proves very robustly
that your messages come from you.
benkay: by
that point, you should really be in
the web of
trust.
benkay: eventually we're going
to get bored,
though, and you won't be a new name any more.
artifexd: It's actually
TigerDirect
that is selling it.
pankkake: only
through
tigerdirect on
their website
chairforce1: i read on
the forum
that walmart is selling a 10GH bfl miner for $300 or something
benkay: i need it *now* for 2-6 hours,
the cost of which i'm billing straight
through
to
the client
benkay: but you see i have no desire
to own
that server
Naphex: ah for 3600 a year you could get
twich
that performance+1gb/s service for a year, with
the server included:p
benkay: satoshi bless
the cloud
benkay: on an entirely different
topic, i just rented a server with 8 cores and 15G of ram for, oh,
two hours,
to run a job
pankkake: yes. also "Clearly Mircea has been reading BtcAlpha and picked up some good ideas on where
to invest his coin" on another post :)
assbot: Btc Alpha - Analysis
tools for bitcoin finance.
assbot: ASICMINER: Entering
the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It
chairforce1: so my
track record for reading is almost as bad as my investment ability
pankkake: the wot +v
thing allowed ~400 people at
the start, and it's probably much more now
benkay: but
the whole
thing falls over without some
trust mechanism
benkay: that's
the only culty part, imho is
the web of
trust
benkay: read logs, get into
the web-of-trust...
kakobrekla: well if its a
tattoo,
then it must be
true.
benkay: there's plenty
to be learned here.
chairforce1: i know people with
the phrase "not all who wander are lost"
tattooed
chairforce1: so is everything im saying getting stored
to be used against me?
benkay: and
the web of
trust is just
the place
to have a reputation if you want
to do btc biz
benkay: uh -assets is just a bunch of rich perverts
that run a lot of moderately interesting bitcoin
things
benkay: the -assets circle or
the wot in general?
chairforce1: so what is
to gain from
this jerking in
this circle as opposed
to others?
benkay: the crypto reputation mgr
to bitcoin's crypto store-of-value mgr
benkay: crypto-backed
trust database.
benkay: if you're going
to be a while, you might consider getting into
the web of
trust as well
benkay: ask google first,
then ask in here.
benkay: have you read
the contract?
fluffypony: seems
to be
the natural order of
things
