kanzure: asciilifeform: so if you know mike
then how do you know me
mircea_popescu: kasa32 you must have missed
the part where i
told you
this is a civil matter.
kanzure: nah it's good
to get out of
that uh.. industry.
kanzure: ABI etc got swallowed up and cancelled
their manufacturing
kanzure: do you know of any synthesizer manufacturers
that still exist? i'm aware of
the refurb shops
kanzure: and ~$2k for "probably working" and $50k for "sorta new, or exactly new, except we know
that nobody is building
this crap anymore so we're not going
to lie
to you"
kanzure: last i looked
the synthesizers bottom out on ebay at $400-$700 "maybe working"
kanzure: there was
this oligo arrayer open source project
that did it for ~$20k
kanzure: but again i
think
this approach is probably bad; why not just build a bigger version like
the
traditional machines
kanzure: right.. so some friends and i were putting
together an idea for using lasers
to build microfluidic chips.
kanzure: it's entirely possible
that i suck at sourcing
kasa32: <mircea_popescu> you may want
to prepare yourself for
that scenario
kasa32: <mircea_popescu> US has authority
to arrest you and bring you
to
the US.
They have done
this before. Just check Liberty Reserve incident
kanzure: and
then you need
to bother with photolithography and all sorts of other issues
kanzure: well
to do dna synthesis on
the scale
that i want it, you need hundreds or
thousands of microfluidic gates
kanzure: ideally you should limit
the number of stupid-hard problems you are solving simultaneously..
kanzure: i've since determined
that microfluidics is not
the best way for now
kanzure: well
that was an old presentation
kanzure: if machine price goes down
then synthesis costs can be
tweaked
kanzure: there's no good reason
these machines should cost so much
kanzure: asciilifeform:
terrible piles of crap, aren't
they?

mircea_popescu: gotta save
that one for when anyone asks what's in my fridge.
bounce: oh right, "solitaire (cipher)", bruce schneier vehicle for
the cryptonomicon
kanzure: asciilifeform: and
they didn't put me on
the paper anyway
kanzure: asciilifeform:
that was a long
time ago
mircea_popescu: "come
to -assets. only a coupla hundred people here, but you probably have friends in common"
benkay: kanzure: nope. clients don't need all
that.
mircea_popescu: well iirc
this guy had some sort of cancer, so you might get your wish
kanzure: mircea_popescu:
there's also
this person from
theverge with my name.. sigh.
kanzure: mircea_popescu: interesting.
there's a few people showing up with my name. i want
them gone.
kanzure: benkay:
that link is a good one for explaining it
kanzure: mircea_popescu: huh? probably not. i don't know who you are referring
to.
kanzure: bounce: do you have a link for
that?
kanzure: benkay:
the box builder automation stuff
bounce: rsa gets impractical quickly on paper, much less mentally. might look into
that crypto by pack of cards
thing
though.
kanzure: benkay: do you use plover
to build docker stuff
benkay: jurov: a link
to my post
there would be neat
benkay goes back
to building docker images
bounce basically never uses autocompletion. currently maybe not even bound
to a key.

kanzure: asciilifeform: yes i'm sure
there's someone, somewhere, doing rsa in head
tg2: Sec can't do much out of
the us
tg2: and
then repeat every 2x
the previous
time frame
kasa32: <mircea_popescu> are you afraid about US
taking legal action? can
they bring you
to US
to
testify?
tg2: Pi
to 1k only
takes a few days
mircea_popescu: i wonder if
there actually exists an irc client w/o autocompletion
mircea_popescu: for instance right now
to have it spit out velacreations i
type out vel and hit
tab
mike_c: velacreations:
tab-completion.
velacreations: mircea_popescu
thanks, is
there a way
to reference
their name just by clicking on it, or do I have
to
type it out every
time?
kasa32: did
they issue more veiled
threats?
kasa32: <mircea_popescu> can you
tell us more about
the letter you received from US authorities?
mircea_popescu: store btc as a service, if done right (like say bc.info used
to do it) has its places. you go
to
trade some btc in ny central park, you
take a blockchain url with you.
mircea_popescu: this already means you're using SOMETHING
to remember your key, yes ?
mike_c: well, i
think
the service is more for
those
that can't secure
their keys.
mircea_popescu: velacreations irc highlights people when you mention
their name, no need for @s and stuff.
velacreations: @ThickAsThieves how long have you known about
the suspicious
trading issues?
mircea_popescu: who was it
that said she had called but
then nobody picked up ?
frenchie: thanks
TAT, what's your best guess at what's happening ?
