mircea_popescu: for all
the brilliant russians living in
the 70s,
the ussr was dumb as rocks.
mircea_popescu: nobody is denying a lot of smart people work for
the nsa.
mircea_popescu: if spending money solved problems
the phoenician empire'd still be a
thing.
bounce: you can see how
that works in, say, DES, where
the NSA suggested stuff
that
turned out
to be resistant
to a
type of attack not known publically at
the
time DES was finalised
bounce: actually, no.
they employ a fsckton of mathematicians and
they know everything
that's in
the open plus an unspecified amount we don't know about. best guess (last I heard) was
that
they're about five years ahead of
the open community with
the research
mircea_popescu: yo, bruce, wakeup call :
the nsa is about as fucktartded as you are. srsly.
bounce: though
the real question is, is
that a /signed/
tag?
mircea_popescu: gotta love how schneier sticks
these psy-ops little
turds in everything he writes.
mircea_popescu: "Additionally, algorithms from
the NSA are considered a sort of alien
technology:
they come from a superior race with no explanations."
bounce: you need
to speka lisp-a
to understand-a
bounce: so what is
the resistance and what
the impedance of...
the local beach?
jurov: as soon as
the current starts
to change, parasite reactances appear
bounce: fighting
the current,
technically
bounce: you more or less missed a chance
to snag a few subs for essentially free down in
the crimea
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you
this Arlyn Culwick fellow and
trolling me ?
fluffypony: can we file
that with
the "world class mathematicians" involved in every cryptocurrency-related project?
fluffypony: “My cofounder
turned down a job at Google
to focus on our company.”
Translation: He applied for an internship a while back and it fell
through.

the word goes out
assbot: Last
trade for S.NSA on MPEX was at 0.00016371 BTC [+]
jurov: bankay
they're worth much more
davout: the issue is on
the fiat side
davout: you could
trade potatoes it wouldn't make anything different
benkay: how is
that a bargain at all, jurov ?!
davout: Naphex: basically,
the idea is
that bitcoin isn't
the issue,
Naphex: now don't know
the specifics. but i will foward
the european payment systems
thingie, and see what answer comes
Naphex: davout:
that question i've asked. and
thats
the answer I received.
That by Romanian law everything required we have
to operate.
davout: if
the answer is something along
the lines of "no, because bitcoin isn't regulated",
then you should run awat
assbot: Last
trade for S.NSA on MPEX was at 0.00016371 BTC [+]
jurov: that ask won't stay long
there
davout: do a simple
test, ask
the legal person, or whatever lawyer you have
the following question : "do we need some sort of financial license
to do what we do?"
Naphex: mircea_popescu: i will
tomorrow :P
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Stepped on it with show. Also
the mouse was actuall a mouse. Was skittering around
the garage while I was
trying
to IRC and smoke cigarettes in it.
Naphex: also i'm paid
to code
the stuff up. and make sure it doesn't get owned.
Naphex: davout:
thats as far as i know lol
davout: Naphex:
tbh i like
that answer much better
than "all is fine we don't need one" :-)
Naphex: sorry davout, can't answer much on
that field.
davout: look up
the european payments service directive

Naphex: what financial registration are you reffering
to? does one exist?;o
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
There's also a deadly form of porcine mega shits killing off
the pork here
Naphex: davout:
there is no _need_ for it atm.
davout: Naphex: your banking relationship may be great, but as soon as you handle someone else's fiat by opening
them an account, allowing
them
to cash in and out, you need a financial registration
Naphex: and everyone can do whatever
they do best
mircea_popescu: and only because
the
two idiot investors who had enough sense
that
they shouldn't have been invested in
the first place insisted.
davout: didn't prevent
them from being buttraped on multiple legal accts
mircea_popescu: Naphex
that can't be a gc, it has
to be a corp officer. he can hire whoever, but ultimately signs off on it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform get used
to it, gc is what a cto of law is called.
Naphex: davout: not sure how
to answer
that, or if a financiall registration is required. but all is operating completly legally
davout: Naphex: i mean it's usually required from corps
that handle fiat funds on behalf of
third parties
to be financially registered, which doesn't appear
to be
the case
