midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: a.k.a. crypto-virology, a fairly well-studied problem
that primarily (imo) affects closed-source crypto products.
jurov: moiety: wanba be
The Real Manulcoin ambassador?
benkay: i dunno why anyone would be going for mcdonald's when
there are mircea_popescu's out
there
BingoBoingo: I
throw
that out, because
the storm sirens are engaged.
ozbot: The Moment A Mississippi
TV Station Evacuated For A
Tornado
benkay: besides, who ever knows what
they want.
benkay waits for
the punchline
mircea_popescu: you got a 70lb chick in
the house
that cooks with
the use of a hammer and wants beer ?
benkay: told her 'when dinner's actually done
then you can have a beer'
benkay: lol now she's complaining about
the fact
that i stole her beer
mircea_popescu: mikaeldice but
the scams and incompetents aren't bitcoin corps. i mean it's like saying
turbojet propulsion isn't used by model airplanes. sure.
fluffypony: mikaeldice:
that would need
to be done BEFORE investing
mikaeldice: True, but
the goal would be
to generate red flags on incompetence more
than anything
fluffypony: it's not like if you create an easier system all
the scams will be like "ohai, let's be legit!"
mikaeldice: Are you narrowly defining what a bitcoin corp is?
Taking a look at
the securities forum, it's almost not in use by most of
the scams and incompetents
there. When
there is reporting, it's late and/or incomplete..
fluffypony: mikaeldice:
the reason it isn't being done isn't because it's complicated
mikaeldice: Well,
the problem is
that
things aren't getting done
the right way.
The system you outline in your website is a good one, but few people use it.
thestringpuller: why do people constantly want
to do
things differently
than
the way
things are done i have no idea. << like when people
try
to put
the square block into
the circle hole?
benkay: girl is using
the mini sledge
to pulverize peanut brittle
mircea_popescu: why do people constantly want
to do
things differently
than
the way
things are done i have no idea.
fluffypony: benkay: depends on
the
type of business
benkay: fluffypony: what fraction of corporate funds are you expecting
to be in hot storage?
fluffypony: benkay:
they may move
things around during
the month for operational purposes (change addresses in a wallet etc.), so moving it into one address is a very quick operation
mikaeldice: I was
thinking more of an open ledger which automatically updates with expenditures from preset addresses.
The user adds a justification, maybe associates an expense account
to it
mircea_popescu: that's
the accounting standard, bitcoin companies do use it, etc.
benkay: fluffypony: wouldn't simply signing with
the addr key suffice?
mikaeldice: Thanks, mircea_popescu, I've read
that post before and enjoyed it.
fluffypony: mikaeldice:
they could just publish
their monthlies and prove
they have access
to
the funds
they claim by sending it
to a public address
mikaeldice: I'd like
to see bitcoin companies start using a more
transparent accounting system
that's more detailed
than
the blockchain. It wouldn't really cut down on fraud, but it might make
the incompetent more noticeable and accountable.
moiety: i just realised i used later
tell earlier probably wrongly because i was looking at
the wrong part of
the people list
gribble: alexsanjose was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 days, 19 hours, 12 minutes, and 36 seconds ago: <alexsanjose> if you come across in humans in Central America who have bitcoin gambling operations and
they want
to
talk
to a reporter,
tell
them i dont bite alexandra.alper@thomsonreuters.com
mikaeldice: Nothing new.. I've been wondering for a while if
there is a better forum
than bitcointalk,
though.
moiety: i was shown
those neokey
things a while ago
mircea_popescu: a no, gotta wear a steel collar
to be
tasting
this
thing.
moiety: i
think you should send me some sauce so i can
test
this statement mircea_popescu
artifexd: I'd be willing
to mail it
to you if
that would be useful.
mircea_popescu: "-
The Yubikey personalization app saves a .csv logfile with
the programmed key values meaning a malware-based attack may discover
the log files on block devices even when
the files have been deleted"
artifexd: asciilifeform: I have one
that I'm willing
to sacrifice
to
the cause but I have no idea how
to do
that.
moiety: pasta is good for
the soul :]
moiety: <mircea_popescu> my black stony heart is so satisfied
today. << what did you eat?!
thestringpuller: or would
that just be a side-effect of what you're describing
thestringpuller: So
that would mean
the more connections
the more accurate?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller paths
that include any given segment at most once
mircea_popescu: moiety chicks only follow you
the way
they wanted
to go anyway :D
moiety: fluffypony: aww! i wonder if
they followed on land
too!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller actually i would imagine its accuracy is a linear function of
the average length of noncircular paths.
mircea_popescu: ah,
the sweet pleasure of
the utter destruction of schmucks
that
thought
they knew better
mircea_popescu: they just split, lost
the government, are probably going straight
to
the history books.
mircea_popescu: this romanian party, was ruling party. a year or so ago i quit, and quite publicly
told
them
to either bring me
the head of
the
then-president or else
there will be no fucking party.
fluffypony: benkay: pretty much, I've never claimed
to be beautiful
benkay: <fluffypony> I worked at
this IT company, and
there were
these
two cute sales girls (literally
the only
two decent looking people at
the company) << including you?
dub: oh yeah I
think I read
that after 24 hours
travel
benkay: ;;google
trilema wunderbar mpif
benkay: ;;google
trilema wunderbar spif
benkay: submit
to
the personalization, mircea_popescu
benkay: something like 'this bet resolves as yes if
there's more yes
than no'
benkay: was
there a recursive bitbet recently?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller since
then we've had another reuters chick recently
benkay: not quite
the dragon of btc
benkay: <BingoBoingo> fluffypony: All it
takes is 1 Manul and
then you have 0 doges << ftfy
thestringpuller: I'm reading up on
the march 21st logs, just wondering what came of
the IRC interview.
mrstickball: I
thought Romania was
the poor man's Poland, which is
the poor man's GDR
mrstickball: odd
that he believes
that he wants
to invest as a hedge fund but not read up on exchanges..
