decimation: asciilifeform, I have friends in PG county who had nearly
the same
thing happen
to
them -
tree roots in
the sewer line. It was in one of
the "Levittown" areas built out in
the 60's
mircea_popescu: which is how most agents heard of bitcoin, and why
they
think its cool.
mircea_popescu: they had an info
thing about bitcoin
that was widely disseminated
mircea_popescu: now you have an unduly exposed customer
that shall be unhappy
to hear about it, if he ever does.
mircea_popescu: (your blondy excluded) decided it'd be a great idea
to leak info, so she did.
mircea_popescu: a guy by
the name mazzotta who happens
to be a federal agent contracted for his own garage
to have some rig shit delivered. he was gone one day, and his WIFE who is about as clueful as
the average blondy
mircea_popescu: ill
tell you what happened, and you won't like
to hear it.
fluffypony: indeed - I believe he even has a nail
technicians license or something
mircea_popescu: This is
the brand and
trademark page for RUNWAY BEAUTY which was created on August 20th, 2007 by Runway Beauty, an CORPORATION.
The
trademark owner is located at 8637 E. Berridge ln. in Scottsdale, ARIZONA. Runway Beauty can be contacted at 480-361-5012, odci@cox.net
fluffypony: "Tell Agent Mazzotta
the lizard has entered
the fibreglass cage of resourcefulness. Do not miss a word. Also
tell him
that
the following message is CICADA 3301-F encoded: OSDJFSH02382oaSDFaweasdFAWr3q23eaq#RWQAE"
fluffypony: but for a while I was
tempted
to reply:
fluffypony: I
told
the support staff
to just close
the
ticket
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, ahahaha, agent mazzotta's office has all
the opsec of a chicken coop
mircea_popescu: i don't intend
to be buried here if
that\s what you mean
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: Electrum server isn't SPV. it's SPV-like <<< ahahaha
this has just summarized
the mental capacity of bitcoin coder ppls. yes, exactly.
the code isn't working, it's working-like.
mircea_popescu: even csf has holes in it due
to
the way logs are handled by kernel
pankkake: and
then you can catch
the bad sysadmins who run mysqldump in crons with password options
mircea_popescu: pankkake, even if you
try
to protect it,
there';s
too many ways logs leak.
pankkake: by default linux does not filter
the ps list, so you don't even need
to be
the same user
mircea_popescu: benkay: if i have
to run bitcoind anyways why
the fuck not just run bitcoind and
take a dep on
the whole fuckoff blockchain? << quite.
mircea_popescu: it could be made
to be safe, of course, but
then again so can
this (dedicated system)
pankkake: well, at least
there's
the RPC way
to do it safely
thestringpuller: but if you put a space before
the command it doesn't store it in bash history (like
that actually helps)
mircea_popescu: pankkake, but srsly, bitcoind
takes
the wallet passphrase as command line
thestringpuller: you could do echo $PICOCOIN_PASSPHRASE and it's on
the cmd line...
pankkake: I mean specifiying
the passphrase on
the command line. gets in process list, in shell history, etc.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: can't bring myself
to do another router or ip camera << you post
these anywhere ?
mircea_popescu: the people who
think
they have something
to say in bitcoin, and
the ways
their brains work.
mircea_popescu: >>> AES encryption is applied
to
the wallet. Passphrase is specified via environment variable PICOCOIN_PASSPHRASE. << god help us.
mircea_popescu: prolly
thousands of noobs with unpublished delusitarian books
mircea_popescu: 90% odds his losses will be 50% by next year, and yet he'll be misreporting
them (to himself) and misbooking
them correspondingly
thestringpuller: Duffer1: even odds his losses will approach 90% by
this
time next year << usually
the case for all n00bs
Duffer1: even odds his losses will approach 90% by
this
time next year
mircea_popescu: and
then bitcointalk is
the place
to do
that. i suppose
this guy goes around in a
toga because nobody
told him
the roman empire fell i nthe meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: \because his wild eyed naivite
this is how it works, noobs have something
to contribute
to
the conversation in spite of
their complete ignorance of history and where
the conversation currently is,

the current state of Bitcoin securities market | Bitcointa.lk
mircea_popescu: in other words, giving "yourself" 100%
trust arbitrarily is not well borne by experience.
mircea_popescu: on
the grounds of everyone having managed
to lost more wallets in
the intervening
two years
than bitcoin
mircea_popescu: this is not actually correct. btc on mpex books are more valuable
than btc held by users, (and are
traded as such)
mircea_popescu: 6:11:48 PM CheckDavid But btc on
their books are less valuable
to shareholders due
to
the risk of.losing
them and other factors.
poutine: kakobrekla, not pay
to public key, pay
to script hash
kakobrekla: poutine what exactly defines a 'custom'
tx?
poutine: It'd be quite easy
to dump data into btc. I'm sure it'd piss off a lot of people
though (namely everyone with
the blockchain), but you could embed wikileaks into
the blockchain
through redeemable
transactions
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid: dignork: I find it hard
to conceive of a business
that can't
think of expansion . << efficiency of capial deployment is
the issue. read buffett\s letters
to investors, he covers it in detail
poutine: in any event, it is fun
to play with custom
transactions, I'm surprised
there's only been 1661 of
them according
to webbtc.com
pankkake: I usually stop reading at "here
to stay"
thestringpuller: "Considering
the points above I believe
that Bitcoin stocks are here
to stay.
The key
to success here would be
the issuers screening and preemptive measures against fraudulent players. Serious and responsible project can be successful here, and most probably relatively unperturbed by regulators. Centralized exchanges should have a crucial role, since decentralized ones cannot probably achieve high level of protec
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
there's no one doing it now simply reflects
the fact nobody is currently giving a shit. not something ytou can rely on as you change
the incentive structure
poutine: disregard
timestamping server comment
mircea_popescu: and stop relying on incidentals. if
there's any value
to fucking you over,
the nonstandard
txs will be accepted by everyone.

poutine: 24 moves within a single
turn
thestringpuller
thestringpuller: poutine: re earlier: 24 possible moves
total? or 24 possible moves within a single
turn?
poutine: The miner situation I
think is obvious, a miner could definitely redirect
the output with little effort, and nobody
to punish him for it, but wouldn't
the above situation simply be covered by
the
timestamping server, and currently by
the fact
there's only one mining pool
that accepts
these
transactions, and
they do not allow double spends in
their memory pool?
poutine: punkman, Ok so if I was making
the move e4, and my player secret was foo, and an acceptable redemption scriptSig is hash256('fooe4'). When I submit my redemption, you're saying someone else would see it in
the mempool, and submit it
to a different mempool with
the redemption going
to a different address?
pankkake: well no
that case was jborkl's fault. he added
tracking
to
the URLs

poutine: mircea_popescu,
the one exception is eligius right now
punkman: poutine, but you share
the secret when you
try
to redeem
poutine: also nobody really mines nonstandard
txes on btc mainnet with one exception
mircea_popescu: they were lolled at for asking for miner gear purchase receipts from people who indicated
the btc source os "mining" for months nao
poutine: punkman, nah you'd need
to know
the secret
to be able
to do
the move
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: re: bitstamp: if
the story is
true,
they've fucked
their public goat. <<
the story is both
true and not really new.
punkman: you can just
throw
the rewritten
transaction out
there and hope someone mines it, no?

poutine: punkman,
the cost is
that you'd have
to solo mine
to forge
the

that would automate
