fluffypony: asciilifeform: yeah I know, but it's better

the most important quality of markets is
that you can't isolate participants.

moiety: when
they opened up a uk data centre,
they gave
too good a deal. what i dont like is
the hoops you have

through

the master model of
the preoblem is "cornering X market", such as
the 5 i
think
to date attempts on silver/gold
fluffypony: except for a handful of domain hacks for
TLDs
they don't offer
kakobrekla: well with inifinite moneey

fluffypony: moiety: I have a VPS with
them
that runs an Electrum server, and
then all my international (non-.co.za) domains are with
them
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
trader experience is
that any strategy
that starts with "if you had a lot of money" is a loser.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony really
they backed off over
twitter
threats and general discontent
kakobrekla: well i did have some robots on btcusd back in

to
the wrong place for a second
jurov: but did not

mircea_popescu: but srsly, anyone heard of
this major bitcoinjs-lib hole ?
fluffypony: because statistically speaking people know how

that seems like a great idea

the random number generation code.
mircea_popescu: "To reward
the work of
the developers, Drake is “offering
three bounties of 0.20 BTC each for anyone
that finds and fixes (via pull request) any bugs/code issues
that potentially cause wallet data loss, a major security bug in
the Coinpunk wallet code (coinpunk/models/wallet.js), bitcoinjs-lib, or in
the random number generation code”."
mircea_popescu: "After scoring a major grant awarded by
the Bitcoin Foundation, Coinpunk’s beta version is finally available.
The project, which is being developed by
the veteran startup founder Kyle Drake, intends
to build
the first fully open-source, self-hosted do-it-yourself Bitcoin wallet service
that you can run on your own server."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: somehow i seem
to have missed
this ? did bitcoinjs announce something ?
mircea_popescu: Due in part
to
this process, we have been notified of a security bug in bitcoinjs-lib (the bitcoin javascript library counterwallet uses)
that was internally disclosed
to us by
the bitcoinjs-lib
team yesterday evening. We worked with
them on applying a fix, which was made live late last night and
this security notice was drafted pending confirmation from
the
team. However it appears
the bug has already been exploited i

time soon
mircea_popescu: bs auth in-house giga scheme anyway, prolly more broken
than a 50yo whore.
mircea_popescu: what
the hell useless. have your wizard rewrite
the auth scheme
fluffypony: "The underlying protocol seems
to be VNC, but with a different authentication scheme, making standard VNC clients useless. (Also it appears
to be an OEM version of ATENs KVM/VNC stuff.)"
fluffypony: coz
that shit irks me more
than NameCheap's new design
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: is
there a non-Java IPMI bios available for
their boards?
fluffypony: I hate having
to even have Java installed, but SuperMicro's IPMI requires it for remote console

time you boot
