chetty: danielpbarron,
that I
think is
the point -
trust has degrees, you should be aware of
them
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure (5/10)
that i know enough of
the guy
to have an opinion, and
that opinion is he should be
trustworthy.
gribble: You rated user jurov on Mon Apr 21 06:09:46 2014, with a rating of 5, and supplied
these additional notes: Years of promises kept..
chetty: danielpbarron, do you
trust yourself
to never eat
that piece of chocolate cake you know you shouldn't have?
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu: do you know which GPG key he uses
to place orders on MPEx?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i meant
the guy has been operating a mpex broker for about
two years now, it never ran into any difficulty, and met him
twice in person
fluffypony: danielpbarron: I
think part of
the WoT is extrapolation of information upon which a conclusion can be drawn, and sometimes
that information needs
to be expanded by
talking
to
the rater
mircea_popescu: you're not at liberty
to arbitrarily decide what someone else's rating means.
mircea_popescu: you can find out what it means by asking
the rater what
they meant.
danielpbarron: doesn't
this necessarily mean
that MPEx knows
the user's credentials, and could disable
them if it
turned out
to be a scam?
danielpbarron: for example: a user is in
the WoT, and has a rating of 3 or more given by mircea_popescu, describing him as an operator of a specific pass-through; is it safe
to
trust
this user on
that information alone?
mircea_popescu: well nobody forces anyone
to not know / not
think / etc
chetty: no way around
the basics, due diligence and
trust
kakobrekla: yeah but you can go
to buttfucker and post a passthrough as evedence present a malfucked pgp signature which none of
the 'investors' know how
to check anyway and
thats
that
benkay: pt ops should be considered bad actors if
they refuse
to provide
those,
then. no amount of 'gotta preserve
the secrecy of my keys with mpex' allowed.
danielpbarron: I don't need
to know, but i'm confident MPEx could figure
that one out
benkay: kinda
the point of mpex - put down 30B, get access no questions asked.
benkay: you gotta know
the keyid he's using, non?
benkay: but mircea_popescu wouldja revoke
the keys?
mircea_popescu: in general you'd expect
the rotten pt operator
to withdraw everything from mpex before he actually runs.
benkay: identity operating
the mpex keys will be
toast for sure.
danielpbarron: is it safe
to assume
that a user operating a pass-through for MPEx has a lot
to lose if he were
to decide
to run with
the money?
To clarify, is it MPEx's official policy
to publically shame and/or revoke access for such a user?
mircea_popescu: "invest with
the
twinkletoss brothers!
there's a spare included!"
benkay: ayeah,
trying
to find it.
mircea_popescu: benkay a, was a more complex discussion, see
the whole log.
benkay: mircea_popescu: your comment was along
the lines of 'romania gave a bunch of money
to basically anyone who showed up claiming
to be a businessman and a bunch of guys blew it in advertising'
fluffypony: "Apple does keep an older version of OpenSSL around
that isn't vulnerable
to
the exploit. Safely chained
to a wall. In
the dungeon. It prods it with sticks now and again
to make sure it's still breathing."
fluffypony: [20:16:16] mircea_popescu: openssl is not in ios ?! <-
they implement Open Group's CDSA/CSSM,
they hate OpenSSL because it doesn't maintain a stable API between versions
benkay: hey mircea_popescu on an entirely different
topic what was
this situation where romania just gave oodles of cash away
to 'businessmen' once upon a
time? sounds like quite
the story.
benkay: bitcoincharts.org nonsense as well
then?
benkay: well is somewhere in between
the bloomberg quote and ;;ticker, no?
gribble: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed
ticker. Default market is Bitstamp. If one of
the result options is given, returns only
that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns
ticker for
that
three-letter currency code. It is up
to you
to make sure (1 more message)
benkay: pathetic logs
this morning
benkay: <Framedragger> i've
to admit, even
though
this chan is full of pompastic arrogant fucks,
the content is pretty sweet << pompastic you say? quite
the portmanteau.
mircea_popescu: Charles Gasparino @CGasparino · 1h never heard @felixsalmon or @cafreeland bemoan working class kids priced outta williamsburg but God forbid it happens
to hipsters in SF
mircea_popescu: "What’s “kokobakukan”?! “kokobakukan”is
the space
that
there are interesting
things for you."
benkay: rolling openssl into
the project
mircea_popescu: that
they knew you knew
the moment
they didn't say anything.
benkay: ios is already stripped down macos,
troll
bounce: generating 4kbit keys
takes over a minute?
try validating a 1kbit signature on a z80 (certain
ti calculators with signed firmware)
benkay: does have
to do with known
turds
benkay: (they're dangerously savvy and like
to help make decisions).
benkay: well
that's a given, bounce no points
benkay: guess what
the client's considering
benkay: apple's api's are more
than happy
to give you
the raw bytes of
the private key, but it seems
they
then forgot
to build out
the calls
to import
that key back into
their play-pi.
bounce: so...
the chinese knew (or suspected) about
the crimea
thing beforehand? and
that nevada
thing, does
that mean
the poor farmer gets his cattle back now?
benkay: client wants
to do a
thing with asymmetric crypto on
the major mobile platforms, my guys are handling
the ios side. apple provides a handy dandy set of apis for generating keys (your second 4096 bit key on a bleeding edge iphone will
take over a minute
to gather 'adequate' 'entropy', btw).
benkay: stories from
the loltron
bitcoinpete: "FXBTC said
that long-term financial losses stemming from what it
termed a “blockade” by
the PBOC resulted in
the management
team deciding
to end
the service."
ozbot: Pompatic - definition of Pompatic by
the Free Online Dictionary,
Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Framedragger: i guess. i just made a literal mapping from own
tongue onto english. but english failed on me :( so, "pompous"
Framedragger: i choose
the "to shake a pompom vigorously" interpretation
mircea_popescu: ;;google where is vragnaroda
to
teach
this guy grammer.
Framedragger: i've
to admit, even
though
this chan is full of pompastic arrogant fucks,
the content is pretty sweet
bitcoinpete: "Sacha Baron Cohen attended
The 84th Annual Academy Awards (2012) in character and full costume as Aladeen, accompanied by his "virgin guards". While giving an interview on
the red carpet
to an unsuspecting Ryan Seacrest he brandished an urn he claimed
to contain
the remains of deceased North Korean dictator Jong-il Kim. Cohen
then spilled
the ashes all over Seacrest's
tuxedo. As a result, Cohen was banned from entering
the auditori
bitcoinpete: my body double's latest movie:
the dictator
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Reference
to some Jew movie
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: DIdn't
test for
that. Instead I was diagnosed with aladeen.
bitcoinpete: ;;later
tell punkman now i wanna catch up on some wu
tang clan!
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.64309480 BTC
to 8`410 shares, 31428 satoshi per share
mircea_popescu: "The P/E implied value per share is
thus 0 BTC." unzips, depacks and deflates as "the value of each share calculated on
the basis of
the P/E of
this company so far would be 0"
ThickAsThieves: well i'm still gonna
treat you normal, your head is big enough
ozbot: Awstats and stuff pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
ThickAsThieves: i could probably add a hundred or so if i plugged it
to
the forum
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves understand
tho :
this is moderated as
to venue, not as
to content.
mircea_popescu: what, if bin laden becomes a
tritium level member
they're going
to support bombing
tall ny buildings ?
