74400+ entries in 1.8s
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is convenient because i didn'
t really feel like writing reports tonight, and asciilifeform still's not sent me his mail, so
svetlana: I am from another channel where wc- was complaining about the issue. Couldn'
t suggest anything but not perceiving cloak as the solution, to him.
svetlana: I might suggest not using cloaks as the solution here. Using cidr entries in access list, and /cs why, it's quite trivial to look through them. We don'
t want to "teach" whoever is ddosing here that -- he'd keep doing his thing.
mircea_popescu: "i know, whatsapp got 200 bn for essentially spamming, why wouldn'
t we!"
mike_c: psa: don'
t click that.
mike_c: that's the problem. sloths can'
t defeat spammers. cats can.
assbot: To would-be auditors: don'
t play the charade of checking if exchanges are solvent once every few months; real-time crypto-auditing or GTFO.
diana_coman: btw, out of curiosity: why is this eulorom site apart entirely from mingame.bz? I thought eulora was essentially made by minigame so I don'
t quite follow the different sites/lack of links or is there something I'm missing?
mike_c: because you don'
t know even know why
assbot: btcthrowaway454 comments on Reminder: 1,000 BTC bet that Bitcoin will outperform Berkshire stock @WarrenBuffet... Time's running out and things aren'
t looking good. ... (

davout: i didn'
t think of the requirement to sign as an issue actually
davout: if they were wouldn'
t that remove the salts requirements?
davout: i discard your messages since it doesn'
t bear a valid GPG signature
mircea_popescu: in the design as is, now you reject my junk because i don'
t know the salts.
davout: apart from replaying i can'
t think of an example where GPG isn'
t enough a protection already
mircea_popescu: basically, program has one, you have one. you can if you wish use the same. don;'
t have to.
mike_c: plus, it hasn'
t happened yet. mar '15 is at $50.65
mike_c: yes yes. i just got my butt kicked on "bitcoin won'
t suck by end of 2014" bets, so perhaps i am gunshy.
diana_coman: mike_c no problem, ping me if it still doesn'
t work
diana_coman: to be fair, I can'
t even remember if I had an account, but I somehow thought I didn'
t need one last time
mike_c: 502, that doesn'
t seem like ddos.
xanthyos: hopefully that doesn'
t suggest their software is sloppily coded
Vexual: im guessing that bitstamp hot wallet ain'
t small
mircea_popescu: quite a step up from "doesn'
t understand how the world works"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes weren'
t you complaining bout the endless log an hour ago ?
thestringpuller: damn, I guess we just pray nanotube isn'
t locked up in some mexican prison somewhere
danielpbarron: kakobrekla> any bitcoin poker site already struggles for existence or is half dead or completely dead << because they don'
t use the WoT
decimation: I donno man, I don'
t really daytrade fx options
ben_vulpes: Fun: try again, that kind of statement doesn'
t hold any water with me.
thestringpuller: Apocalyptic: you think gribble won'
t be back for a few days? Weeks?
thestringpuller: more precisely "When you do things right, people won'
t be sure you've done anything at all."
thestringpuller: "You know you've done things right when people don'
t think you've done anything at all"
mircea_popescu: Fun because a) it costs money and b) they don'
t care, because it's not really their problem.
decimation: so weirdly my brokerage doesn'
t appear to have spot (freestyle?) forex options, only options on futures
decimation: I guess my point is that a promise to deliver a euro tomorrow isn'
t a spot price
decimation: actually options on spot probably don'
t exist, come to think on it
mircea_popescu: decimation doesn'
t have to be in chicago. everyone does it, including all the web providers, optionsxpress, schwab, you name it
mircea_popescu: and holy shit, don'
t you just love this brave new world with such policemen in it.
PinkPosixPXE: glad I didn'
t buy when it dropped to 310 last week
ben_vulpes: and don'
t put the key anywhere near that bitcoind
ben_vulpes: don'
t depend on an external api to monitor the blockchain
ben_vulpes: what you *don'
t* want to do is send each txn to seperate addrs.
ben_vulpes: PinkPosixPXE: you launch a VPS service, take BTC (don'
t even denominate in BTC), and you've got custom right here.
PinkPosixPXE: and this isn'
t exactly how I'd setup vps hosting
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE how about write the script so that you keep track of foreign hosts, and once packet limit is reached for a vps all foreign hosts that aren'
t on the list of hosts it connected in the past 24 hours get banned across the entire network ?
PinkPosixPXE: this ensure the vps won'
t be suspended, and just removes the target ipv6 ips
PinkPosixPXE: but ipv6 is more difficult, so this does a count on the packets, and if it exceeds the limit, it finds the ipv6 address, and vps in question, and then disables those addresses on the vps so they can'
t be targetted
Phraust: THings just ain'
t the same for gangsters.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: did anything come of your conversations with "
t"?
cazalla: thestringpuller, cbf this morning, didn'
t get to bed till 4am and i'm still a bit tired
ascii_modem: the audience can'
t do jack shit to bring sane silicon into being. but it can actively and maximally destructively piss on 'intellectual property' and related usg crown privilege.
decimation: w.r.
t. to the link you posted about the guy warning not to reverse engineer drivers, his point about the pointlessness of the endeavor seems well-founded
ascii_modem: 'don'
t read it, you'll be tainted for life and can never be a legit open source dev again'
adlai: january's lemons have taken the form of btcmiami tickets, flights included. shouldn'
t be too big a request from the benefactor to spend a few hours snooping around the shillcoin booth/talks
cazalla: adlai: would qntra be interested in coverage of garza @ btcmiami? <<< i wouldn'
t ask of you to waste your time doing that, it is already established he is a liar and a bad one at that, no point covering a debate of which lies can be wormed out of
ben_vulpes: i don'
t get it either, ascii_modem. who takes drugs into planes in plainly labled "DRUGS" canisters?
joecool: kakobrekla: altgribble isn'
t in here
ascii_modem: i don'
t comprehend this "have to decrypt disk" bs. <<< again we can apply above principle. everybody complaining about the disk arse search - stop imagining that you have 'rights' and start apprehending the fact that you are being pursued by maniacs who will eventually like to turn you into a lampshade.
joecool: kakobrekla: altgribble doesn'
t work with assbot?
BingoBoingo: adlai> bitfinex seeking out new lows! << Wouldn'
t be surprised at all of this Bitfinex scouting new lows is them dying.
Naphex: dosn'
t sync anything, and is just some fake checkpoint reported. it is only interested in the version message
adlai hasn'
t been following the story closely
mircea_popescu: yeah, that's an idea we were going to develop but didn'
t actually get started on.
mircea_popescu: "we have a billion bitcoins, can'
t afford advertising, here's a link you have to c/p"
assbot: The hits keep coming. Now /CNN is quoting a parody Twitter account without any kind of fact checking whatsoever.
http://t.co/67dFklxBEL mircea_popescu: TomServo: I'm surprised ol' Brucey Bruce isn'
t parroting the "OMG NK!!1" line. << "Tellingly, the FBI's press release says that the bureau's conclusion is only based "in part" on these clues. This leaves open the possibility that the government has classified evidence that North Korea is behind the attack. The NSA has been trying to eavesdrop on North Korea's government communications since the Korean War, and it's rea
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: just because its old news doesn'
t mean there still isn'
t exclusive content to pull from
mircea_popescu: was a funny exercise in "so i shouldn'
t make emacs easier to use for the people already using it because this will lower the barrier to entry for idiots and ruin the party ? what are you, insane ?"
mircea_popescu: if they didn'
t mostly lose, they wouldn'
t be "homicide da union", they'd be the cupcakes and crumpets core.
mircea_popescu: in which case at most we can'
t say whether it's a good or bad idea, and shouldn'
t bother with it at all ?
mircea_popescu: this increases the pool of users from U to U+x. the average sophistication of x is < than the average of U. in fact it's common even if we won;
t rely on it that the peak of x is under the lowest of U.
