mircea_popescu: the only entity served by this nonsense is nsa. users don't actually exist, outside of what the parties you trust say.
mircea_popescu: well, i don't. i more often have sex with someone in the bus
mircea_popescu: don't trust people you don't trust and so you won't have to answer unpleasant questions from people whose trust you value.
artifexd: You specifically don't want messages signed?
mircea_popescu: since by very definition gestapo can't trust A B C
mircea_popescu: answer't.
mircea_popescu: it... didn't eat your comment lol
asciilifeform: it isn't a scalar.
artifexd: Why? If you're connected when a message comes across the wire, you get it. If not, you don't. Much like irc now.
asciilifeform: notice you don't have to store the chain permanently
Apocalyptic: mircea, I get a timeout for both trilema and qntra, looks like we may have been banned, which is surprising because I didn't refresh the page too quickly
asciilifeform: mike_c: phoundation - deserved the treatment; old warhorse irc - doesn't
artifexd: Anybody have a good name for this project? ircd isn't going to cut it.
asciilifeform: 'pwnable' isn't even the right word
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Right. Prolly won't be long before ISIS seizes a medical xray and does some experimenting to catch up tp 5Is on this front
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the 'turn on your laptop to prove it isn't filled exclusively with trotyl' thing is rather tiresome. esp. since nothing keeps a miscreant from replacing only, e.g., half of the cells in his battery with plastique of similar shape and density.
mircea_popescu: suppose i make 50k 1btc txn. they don't fit in a 1mn block. they do fit in a 10mb block. what now ?
artifexd: ben_vulpes: You don't. You keep sending money to yourself until it happens.
mircea_popescu: (if it were that simple, teh enemies wouldn't be going through all the gymnastics & eating up all the frogs)
mircea_popescu: the only way to guard against it is, obviously,for the "large" chain to maintain 1:1 identity with the "small" one. because you don't just fork bitcoin.,
mircea_popescu: is this ver's way of saying he can't afford anything bitcoin-related anymore, not even that thing in miami ?
assbot: The Bitstamp booth at CES today. http://t.co/BaqOaml8UL http://t.co/DrgdEVyoZg
assbot: While forcing me to pay taxes /USEmbassyBbdos tyrants won't allow me to attend /hashtag/CES2015?src=hash, /hashtag/TNABC?src=hash or anything in the US http://t.co/8dl6qpPjUM
mircea_popescu: artifexd use one more then, i answer't.
asciilifeform: artifexd: iirc comments on trilema don't require credits
mircea_popescu: i'd bet you but we can't use bitbet because it doesn't take gavin btc.
mircea_popescu: fwiw i wouldn't use sub 4kb keys anyway.
asciilifeform: i wouldn't bother arguing the udp/tcp point were it not for the fact that this is not a decision that can be easily re-visited.
mircea_popescu: another advantage to tcp is that you don't really get to care about mtus and all that.
artifexd: 576 bytes ain't a lot of space.
mircea_popescu: improvements don't have to be absolute solutions to be useful. they just have to be absolute improvements.
asciilifeform: artifexd: you don't strictly speaking need fountain code in first version of this apparatus.
artifexd: Fountain codes, insomuch as I don't understand them, complicate the design. Padding the the structure that gets encrypted doesn't.
mircea_popescu: should be obvious that model does not work. it doesn't, specifically because it caters to the idiocy it proposes very flimsily to be "against".
mircea_popescu: no, i shan't live by any entities' permission. the state will live by my permission, or go down in a hail of bullets and flame thrower exhaust.
mircea_popescu: if the state controls the field of identity it doesn't need much more.
mircea_popescu: artifexd more's the point, i don't specifically give a shit about "analysis"
mircea_popescu: arguably ircd isn't really any of these, but going by intent rather than practice.
mircea_popescu: what there isn't is "forbidden types of content"
asciilifeform: wouldn't suggest that it is their duty to play exterminator
mircea_popescu: i don't expect "the freenode folks" have technically very much at their disposal. this is the thing, frozen since the days lilo walked the earth.
asciilifeform: well yes, but the reactions of the 'nah it isn't our fault, and by the way have you tried plugging it in? and it ain't a bug, but a feature, at any rate'
mircea_popescu: check it out, didn't break log! yay.
BingoBoingo: Ah, in that case prolly no more than 97-95 percent so you don't starve or go homeless. Prolly keep the number lower than that though. Diversify get apartments in different cities around the world, ya know.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can't expect hard proof of anything whatsoever, sure.
assbot: Despite Xoom's vague assertion that "it doesn't think that customer data or cust - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1yxYKHX )
mircea_popescu: the us has a lengthy history of getting involved in wars it can't afford
thestringpuller: you cna't look away
akisora: I don't understand what is going on with that
mircea_popescu: otherwise, it's as good as the argument that "my horse doesn't need to eat"
jurov: we don't know who the damn miners actually are anymore
Apocalyptic: this falls to kako's argument "they can't do math"
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: there are folks about (some even in #b-a) who have a habit of using something other than an actual computer for their daily work (i won't point fingers)
akisora: I can't auth on gribble. Not that I have any ratings
mircea_popescu: you don't always get the maximal fun out of situations.
mircea_popescu: (i don't mean technically, i mean financially, nobody's accepting it for value)
mircea_popescu: because they can't spend the fake btc they "mined"
mircea_popescu: perhaps i don't actually see the whole ball there tho.
mircea_popescu: if one doesn't buy into the entire "branding, even if or especially if before the fact" one's stuck with this. i don't mind it so much.
rithm: if it scales verically like "interaction" with this thing creates a new "server" then that doesn't sound centralized
rithm: traditional irc is clinet/server but this isn't irc
mircea_popescu: <rithm> port 1337 tho kinda elitist don't you think << yes, i do.
asciilifeform: but this isn't irc !
rithm: port 1337 tho kinda elitist don't you think
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if anyone wants to make a pool for the purpose that can't hurt anything.
mircea_popescu: well no, switching doesn't. but mining in the dead chain takes as many resources as you're willing to throw at it.
mircea_popescu: the fake coins they mine won't actually be worth anything once the fake chain dies. sort-of longest orphan block in history.
mircea_popescu: for as long as there's one miner that doesn't, however...
mircea_popescu: there's the previous discussion with t[homas] ?
assbot: 19 results for 'from:t' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=from%3At
mircea_popescu: !s from:t
asciilifeform: list, yes. wasn't sure about the tree itself
mircea_popescu: wasn't he maintaining the list an errything ?
asciilifeform feels guilt re: mod6-vuples foundation, almost like it were a bastard son he can't quite afford to feed
Apocalyptic: wasn't it "ethereum" ?
Apocalyptic: wtf blogspot doesn't load at all without js, seriously... bitstein could you post a text pastebin ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway, gavin hasn't been making any sense for a long time now.
mircea_popescu: i can't be arsed to read blogspot junk.
BingoBoingo: I didn't add much this time. Gotta think of more lines for future fiat articles.
mircea_popescu: i really don't think they should be called books properly.
assbot: Love how Zuckerberg talks about books as if they are funky new app he has discovered. From /thetimes http://t.co/rum1YGcSt8
mircea_popescu: pity i hadn't made a derp for THIS one.
mike_c: don't believe it. i'm not for hire :)
pete_dushenski: but of course the cost to build doesn't equal the value of the finished product
pete_dushenski: mike_c don't suppose there's been any bidders for wol eh ?
pete_dushenski: can't say it terribly influenced my decisions, or if it did, not for the better.
mike_c: oh i miss mpoe-pr: "Yes, for as long as you don't try to take them out they're safe."
thestringpuller: glad to know you haven't been kidnapped by terrorists mr. nubbins`
asciilifeform: as in something that doesn't have a multitude of undocumented internal sub-cpu cores running fuck knows what
mircea_popescu: if anyone cares, there was another ddos bout, but it didn't do anything.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Old lead mining town there. Can't expect much brightness there.
decimation: http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2015/january/05/blowback-on-the-saudi-border-senior-general-killed/ << us isn't dumping oil, saudi arabia is, and not doing too well
BingoBoingo: Well, I imagine dilemma isn't too different from my present ability to buy a gallon of gas for $2 because America is dumping its entire oild reserve now to try to fuck Russia in this moment.
decimation: svetlana: why doesn't someone fix the 'problem' with cloaks by re-writing ircd into something sane?
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Apparently you aren't supposed to use the powder for that.
svetlana: I don't expect it to be very easy to attack ...
svetlana: isn't vpn distributed? I'm rather surprised at that reaction
svetlana: I didn't think that discussing non-bitcoin stuff here is very welcome, but if you want me to stop talking with you in /msg I'm fine with that :)
mircea_popescu: well cuz i didnt know, cuz someone didn't tell me
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be against this being implemented in udp in any case.
