jurov: ;;later tell davout "We are searching for someone to help us lodge a complaint with AMF, can you recommend anyone? This bourse stuff is completely lame but he's too persistent."
jurov: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=994033 will be interesting how this sorts out
Naphex: benkay: you use it to experiment and have some fun, then switch to something else for real life
benkay: asciilifeform: what's the story with haskell?

BingoBoingo: fluffypony: we just need to work out a message for you to write, so we know it is really you nao
fluffypony: well the short form anyway
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: NO WAY! It has my name on the shirt!
robwhiz22: I have another commitment. mircea_popescu thank you for taking the time to consider the proposals. Please feel free to reply by email, including with any questions or clarificatoins.
fluffypony: nubbins`: apparently some stores do carry them, but they're uncommon. Staedler is massive.
nubbins`: where do you live, the moon? :(
kakobrekla: use the fake wife?
fluffypony: yeah that was mentioned earlier today
gribble: They really are Buttcoins nao pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/they-really-are-buttcoins-nao>; Perfect money corrupts absolutely pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea ...: <http://trilema.com/2013/perfect-money-corrupts-absolutely/>; Februarie 2013 pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/2013/02>
BingoBoingo: ;;google Trilema buttcoins nao
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: It is less about the kind of marker and more what you do with it.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: I just made one in paint, will that do?
nubbins`: the riddler here won't tell us
kakobrekla: do we get to see buttcoin or not
robwhiz22: I suggest if he likes hte notes, that he accept my proposal, wait to receive the results, and then he can publish if he feels the need.
kakobrekla: whats this about anyway
robwhiz22: Though I should edit them if they were to be posted publicly. (Something I don't suggest at this stage.)
robwhiz22: As I said, I didn't tease with the notes but summarized in full.
robwhiz22: He could be reading the emails.
BingoBoingo: Hmmm... mircea_popescu has been quite. I sense a Trilema coming
robwhiz22: Other clients I've made such submissions to (who have paid for them) use the results very happily, but do not publish my work directly. THat's the sense in which I meant it is internal.
robwhiz22: BingoBoingo, this isn't an auction. It is up to Polimedia to publish them when it is ready to do so. (If it wants to.)
kakobrekla: ill pay the same but have buttcoin instead
BingoBoingo: robwhiz22: I'll buy the notes you have so far for a princely 0.0025 BTC
benkay: mircea_popescu: would you pastebin the thing?
robwhiz22: nubbins`, I submitted a proposal to Polimedia, as part of it I gave the "notes" benkay is referring to. I didn't tease with the notes or allude to them.
robwhiz22: if mircea_popescu wants he can release the write-up, I will clean it up as part of the follow-up proposal.
robwhiz22: benkay - I didn't mean to cause you to want them. For the moment they belong only to Polimedia.
nubbins`: robwhiz22: so what are you trying to sell?
benkay: i want the notes!
robwhiz22: nubbins`, I am not exactly selling that. I described it in full in the email, and I am happy to clean it up for public consumption for free, along with my follow-up proposal.
nubbins`: "click here to subscribe and keep reading" sorta thing
nubbins`: having major problems with the placement of my return key here today
benkay: he sent polimedia a thing tho, right?
benkay: why, someone else's going to do the security proposal thinger for cash?
nubbins`: but then he can't get paid
benkay: robwhiz22: why not publish your letter to polimedia here?
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, i.e. because it must be well-thought out, detailed, and edited, with supporting arguments. It is quite a bit of work to do an internal design proposal for these reasons.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, unlike the NSA which tends to hand-wave as they propose certain specific vulnerabilities without giving reasons, my reasoning is stated. This is part of why it is a bit difficult to prepare the proposal in full and I don't do it except if an initial offer is accepted.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, thank you for the compliment :) But the proposal is not the work of an organization. I would, as stated, personally offer it. As well it has its limits and must be taken in as just an internal proposal.
mircea_popescu: i'm not the fucking french, a little respect wtf.
mircea_popescu: right right. anyway, review teh sec letters. nsa wants to talk it'd better not be sending me derpy proposals in the mail. get ready for a full exchange agreement, and i get to veto the next president.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, I agree with you. I think it has a large market.
mircea_popescu: the world's going there anyway.
mircea_popescu: why's you lot so worried about teh cardano anyway ? it's just a strong crypto device with impenetrable rng, what of it ?
robwhiz22: i.e. if there is a beta phase.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, yes I thought also that it works and thought it might be shipping. For security reasons it is obviously a great benefit if it is not quite clear whether it is shipping, to whom, and in what quantities.
mircea_popescu: we had a few, but they eventually married asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: but nice going on the boundry checking lol. srsly, it works.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, do you have a target date?
robwhiz22: By the way I did not realize that you were not shipping this item at all, since I ran across a post that says it is shipping by xmas 2013, as well as I saw prototype that seemed nearly usable.
asciilifeform: i'll be sure to pick one up before rocketing off to visit the ancients.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform would you like to buy my "how to get laid in egypt if you had a time machine" guide ?
mircea_popescu: also, the brain specialist.
robwhiz22: I mean the ones that were accepted and paid for. The ones that aren't accepted, I don't write.
robwhiz22: But to go back to my experience - overall all of the proposals of this type that I have written have been unpublished publicly. (i.e. for internal use.)
mircea_popescu: i polish my turds ;/
mike_c: have you seen blogs.bitcoin-assets.com? nobody polishes their turds around here. just publish it.
robwhiz22: You will have the write-up to do with as you want, including releasing as-is. However I do not think that type of disclosure is necessary. I would suggest you simply deploy the specific mitigations in the verison that ships.
bounce proposes to include robwhiz22 in the premium version of the rng. such noise!
nubbins`: so titillating
robwhiz22: (But did included the main disclosures, which together make the current Cardano specs unfit for any purpose - although it is very close to being fit.)
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, if you like I can prepare the disclosure for public consumption. You can then release it. For obvious reasons of haste, I did not include a highly polished and edited write-up with the preliminary email.
bounce: upshot of having tech development go much faster is that now, if you're trying to dig "forgotten" tech back up, the people who originally made it might still be alive. not so much with, oh, the roman taxi meter, or things like that.
asciilifeform: mike_c: invest in a soldering iron. you'll be surprised at what can be made just from what people throw away.
mike_c: not all of us can solder together our own trng
asciilifeform: mike_c: 'everybody' is obsessed with the rng, but it's 1960s tech.
asciilifeform: mike_c: the rng.
robwhiz22: I wrote privately to the Polimedia office at the address at which the Cryptome announcement solicited feedback.
mike_c: sure it is, ascii uses it to generate his bitcoin wallets :)
mircea_popescu: who the fuck's gonna be harmed, the flies ?
mircea_popescu: and moreover... the product is not deployed. any disclosure is responsible by definition
Shakespeare: also it isnt even in the wild
asciilifeform: robwhiz22: you may wish to consider becoming distinguishable from a nigerian spammer
mike_c: how can you say it would not be responsible disclosure when that is exactly what the manufacturer is asking you to do.
Shakespeare: he made the damn thing
Shakespeare: so you think it has a security flaw? then tell asciilifeform
nubbins`: now we're getting to it
robwhiz22: It would not be responsible disclosure if I were to pastebin the rest of hte email here.
