mircea_popescu: haha. how much was a motorola razr in the 2000s ?
keonne: mostly, not to use western union for anything ever
fluffypony: Every time I try do anything mildly interesting in python I do it in the least pythonic way possible
keonne: Its okay though. I appreciated that possibly fake mircea popescu - he taught me a good lesson
keonne: but I could throw together a quick python script probably
mircea_popescu: i didn't get to read it yet, because well... i got this endless list of reports to look through yet.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: btw I found my blog post today, didn't even realise I was internet famous:) I hope the comment cleared up that I wasn't being entirely retarded at the time!
mircea_popescu: anyone feeling like building a db of name frequency in romania can simply wget and grep and awk that.
mircea_popescu: so now, theres a list of about 200k kids ?

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I assume the artist named you is older than that
mircea_popescu: romania uses a bacalaureat thing, you're not an adult until you pass this exam,. coupla years ago the romanian ed ministry refused (cause inept) to publish the list of results online. and so some people hacked their db and i published the results.
mircea_popescu: keonne actually, here's a story followed by fun trick :
keonne: And I sold the phones on to people, before I even had them, ended up in some shit, lol...
keonne: I dont remember, but the RAZR was the hottest phone on the market
mircea_popescu: haha the artist is a kid, like 25 or w/e
BingoBoingo: Maybe was the artist?
mircea_popescu: well that may have not been *his* real name
keonne: When I was 14, I got scammed so hard, trying to buy 100 Motorolla RAZRs from a Mircea Popescu in Romania
BingoBoingo: Firstname is too, the combination isn't too common though
mircea_popescu: well the surname is.
keonne: mircea_popescu: is this your real name?
mircea_popescu: this is why bitcoin will rule all fiat : those people can't even keep up with the obvious conspiraci theories.
mircea_popescu: tbh im kinda surprised teh tradepress isn't howling all about "in january, 'Bitcoin Baron Keeps a Secretive Open Source OS Alive' ; in april, nsa's crown jool is thrown in the dirt of the public space." ☟︎
fluffypony: keonne: Yeah that's the most worrying part. I know that reproducing the issue is hard, but they have a vested interest in figuring it out
BingoBoingo: keonne fluffypony This is why I specify 0.5.11 or earlier recommending Multibit
bounce: half-track technical would be more interesting
keonne: fluffypony: yeah i read about that, pretty shitty, i don't know that multibit ahs even acknowledged that issue
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I know an East StL math teacher that lost half a BTC of mine last year. In short time you can learn a new language.
fluffypony: keonne: Sure - just pointing it out:) Also, there seems to be an issue with multiple reports of MultiBit generating change addresses but not saving the privkey to the wallet, easy way to lose money
keonne: not technical enough to give mircea_popescu an answer
keonne: fluffypony: im technical enough not to be an idiot
bounce: peon cards. places like estonia and iceland are pretty close, others are going there with the "unified" gov't id card; matter of time before banking cards move into it. nobody seems to care that the gov't then owns your entire identity yet that much more, either.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, the jims and johns of this world will need cuneiform or w/e
BingoBoingo: bounce: the many flavors of prepaid debit cards are the thought
keonne: mircea_popescu: rfid tramp stamp, fake japanese characters and all
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo keonne i must admit tho, it's two hours' work on my part and years on the part of mr cody, the folklorist that collected my base material.
keonne: BingoBoingo: that article (negro speak) is brilliant
mircea_popescu: you wanna pay something just buttpress the cashier
mircea_popescu: you know, i was kinda rooting for the tramp stamp to become rfid govt id.
BingoBoingo: bounce: Oh, but the next generation of bezzel includes an alternative
bounce: apropos bank accounts, plenty places it's not a privilege since the government pretty much if not outright requires everyone to receive the bezzle through one of those. easier on the tax man, see.
mircea_popescu: because this isn't something one shrugs off
keonne: yes that does sound concerning
mircea_popescu: so talk to whoever's in charge of doing these things there, and have him give you something that's both a) a good answer and b) that they can make public.
mircea_popescu: dja understand what i mean ? it's not just some random attack, it's any and all attacks this creates undue vulenrability to.
keonne: "No this blogger is known for being a bigot psychopath
keonne: lol these reddit comments
keonne: and we repaid all those
keonne: i know there is an internal review going on
keonne: honestly mircea_popescu i have no idea, like i said I am not very technical, and those who are weren't very communicative with us about what actually happened
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bitcoinpete apparently http://trilema.com/2013/why-finance-shouldnt-be-open-to-your-average-schmoe/#comment-98938
keonne: unless mr texas gets his way
keonne: mircea_popescu: regarding the database thing a couple weeks ago?
keonne: no one at bc.i has ever asked what wallet I use. Tehy ask for an address at the end of the month to send me money, and thats all
mircea_popescu: keonne so how did the correct signature but bad content thing work earlier ?
mircea_popescu: much unknowns of many flavours in this swamp we live in
keonne: BingoBoingo: i dont know about that
keonne: lol no they do not
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Matonis is stooge in the original sense, where a stooge is incapable of knowing they are.
mircea_popescu: keonne they don't make you eat own dogfood at bi-wallet ?
ozbot: The sins of the group of posers behind the so called “Bitcoin Foundation” pe Trilema - Un blog d
keonne: besides that I am quite happy keeping my BTC on paper wallet for the time being
mircea_popescu: also in the news, matonis "definitely not a stooge", as per matonis.
keonne: most of my day to day spending is done in actual shops, so having my spending wallet mobile is pretty important to me
keonne: i'm open to alternative suggestions
BingoBoingo: keonne: Well local software wallets can handle day to day spending without much syncing burden
keonne: but you get the gist
keonne: BingoBoingo: I see no reason not to use blockchain.info for day to day spending
keonne: I use blockchain.info wallet to just keep track of the paper wallets
BingoBoingo: keonne: You know historically why retirement funds were separated from their sponsoring companies, right?
keonne: BingoBoingo: I keep my spending BTC in blockchain wallet, the rest is on a paper wallet printed at home with a piper wallet
BingoBoingo: Less saline more solution and more sowing the fields with salt
BingoBoingo: I'm leaning kinda more towards complete excision.
jurov: ofc not too close if it's very hot :)
BingoBoingo: jurov: I enjoy pussy too much to consider adding those terms
numerisTrade: ok, give me a while, then
jurov: lol BingoBoingo... add tolkien - silmarillion to your queries
BingoBoingo: jurov: Drunk machine translations fail me in this case
BingoBoingo: numerisTrade: Recurring abscess with sinus in a thick fatty piece of skin
numerisTrade: BingoBoingo: i might be albe to help, if you explain to me what do you mean by 'boil'
jurov: keonee you can learn elvish then, too :)
keonne: mirecea_popescu: I don't know the details precisely, If you want I can ask someone for you. I'm not in a very technical position, and my understanding of these things doesn't go very deep
BingoBoingo: Too deep, Naproxen generally handles the inflamation on this one. but for a few years this has been a perenial seasonal annoyance.
keonne: I don't think you're supposed to crush boils
keonne: I learned it because the idea of a constructed language intrigued me
BingoBoingo: Anyone know a good way to crush a boil real fast?
BingoBoingo: Studies show lots of things
keonne: however, some studies have been done, that suggest, those who learn esperanto first find it easier to learn other languages later
keonne: BingoBoingo: There are no advantages to learning Esperanto
jurov: nah, happens to sane people too
BingoBoingo: keonne: No, this is how IRC works ideally. You answer Yesterday's messages as you find them. IRC may not seem very asynchronous, but it is
keonne: (sorry im responding to yesterdays messages, in case you all think ive gone slightly mad)
keonne: mircea_popescu: I didnt realize there was a correlation between dyslexics and esperanto. Maybe something about the rigid structure that appeals. IDK, thats cool though.
BingoBoingo: Smoking while drinking coffee with Irish cream is the best.
keonne: going to smoke and get some coffee. somewhere truffles is crying for my soul .
jurov: keonne: not a good idea to ask proofs from these paleo zealots
keonne: thestringpuller: i literally just registered in WOT trying to avoid mircea calling me stupid noob :P
keonne: truffles: drinking coffee is the least bad thing I do, anyway prove that it is bad for me.
keonne: benkay: i dont run blockchain.info but I do work there
