thestringpuller: I wish steam took bitcoin as you said.
jurov: fwiw, pretty much the same thing happened between mp and me... but as it was only 10BTC, i just kept it =P
jurov: i see it only as a stupid mistake - forgot to record the withdrawal into database
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: don't end up as the young albatross.
mircea_popescu: that matters about as much as what you call blue.
pankkake: so you fancy yourself as a 1800s lady?
mircea_popescu: "So prime dice and coin roll.it with their max payouts below 20btc or below are just foolish? I am not saying we become more conservative than the competition, but we do not need our max bet to be 10 to 20 x the competition. They will not find another site with as fair a game and as big a max bet regardless. "
mircea_popescu: instead of pissing all over their face at every turn, as he should.
davout: i shall escort myself out, as we say in france "the shortest jokes are the least long"
Namworld: Plus with physical access to the device, they might as well just take the keys on it, they don't need to perform the side channel attack at all.
mircea_popescu: as it stands right now you can make your order and leave it in a dead drop or w/e
Namworld: I'm just curious as to how using a device to get a 2 FA code allows for the analyzis of the encryption process that occurs on another machine. That's not really a physical possibility.
ThickAsThieves: can it be summed up as, a machine with more parts, has more parts that can break
Namworld: 2FA would not yield any extra data about the gpg encryption process that would allow for a side channel attack. It is a completly external process which provide no insight/data as to what is occuring during the encryption, which would allow you to make any kind of deduction needed... It would just baffles me too much. I'm quite curious as to how that would be even remotely possible.
Namworld: Such that if one device is compromised, the account isn't, as it requires to authing method. One alone is not sufficient, such that it requires access to 2 devices to effectively gain access to an account.
jurov: in any case you don't need fancy hardware to protect mpex acct. just airgapped machine, and you can pepare commands in advance and just scan them in as needed
Namworld: What? It's just a game where they play as a little virtual kid while I play as a virtual rapist. It's safe for kids from 7 to 77 years!

mircea_popescu: 2. hiring an "economist" is only a solution if you're a journalist looking to be hired as an "economist". otherwise, it does nothing.

Diablo-D3: that gif was made by some fucktard trying to pass off "spiral helix SPACE DNA" bullshit off as real science
jurov: but there is no such thing as pedestrians in murica, no?

matthew_boyd: Not as young as me, get on my level.
cosmo: would like to work 9-5 as little as possible :P
cosmo: but as there's still a huuuuuge amount of room for crypto's to grow in.. i'd like to find a promising startup company to gamble some fiat in
cosmo: i understand how crypto's work and strongly believe they'll have a huge impact on our future (who doesn't?) but with it being open source it's anyones guess as to what system is most optimal

stayingayou: i don't care about it being toxic or not, as long as i can profit

pankkake: What it after a certain amount of code he did, and her panties have gotten a flag as tetra, white and large glowing hanging in telescopic antenna's radio.

ThickAsThieves: "Bitcoin is a bad idea. Creating an ETF for bitcoin compounds idiocy on top of baloney. This is a disaster. The federal government is already shuting down bitcoin exchanges as unlicensed money transfer operations."

truffles: as long as its nothing to do with raiding baby seals..
jcpham: I like matonis as the new foundation director
ThickAsThieves: then i quit that and played Dishonored for a while, luckily it just wasn't as addictive
ThickAsThieves: "Announcing Jon Matonis as Executive Director"
ThickAsThieves: "The department destroyed over $170,000 worth of equipment in the process, including printers, TVs, and mice, and only stopped destroying them when its disposal budget ran out. But, as the department's own auditor put it, "The destruction of IT components was clearly unnecessary." Indeed, throwing away computer mice seems like a poor approach to ridding an organization of digital
ThickAsThieves: assuming it will end up as you imagine
ThickAsThieves: this is why i call it risk as a luxury
ThickAsThieves: so how does it play out then? a horde of bitcoiners trying to use bitcoin as a currency and molding it to such
