tg2: Sneaky tg already working on your ideas for 2 months now
Mats_cd03: and how would that work
Mats_cd03: a clever malware writer would optimize certain scamcoins for mining based on the presence of a gpu
punkman: rather than making dogecents
punkman: Mats_cd03: the trick would be that only a phone can mine the coin reasonably fast, so you can use your phone botnet to make some easy money
Mats_cd03: on the subject of cool phones, i want to buy an oppo phone now
BingoBoingo: Dunno if this "coin" could have even survived an internet connection
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: Two words on this phone, resistive touchscreen.

CheckDavid: I was thinking about funding a business
BingoBoingo: CheckDavid: If you aren't prepared to fuck the cunt, you can't rightfully call it a penis, prick, dick, or any rightly adult term.
BingoBoingo: MPEx prepared for legal confrontation well in advance and has on Trilema numerous articles detailing their legal prep.
BingoBoingo: Well BTC-TC, Buttfunder, and GLBSE as an example had no legal basis or preparation and collapsed once their thingies touched the legal cunt.
MisterE: MP owns most of the MPEx chares?
CheckDavid: Do people actually own equity in the businesses legally?

punkman1: MisterE: the paper I linked
punkman1: "However, while MtGox claimed to have lost 850,000 bitcoins due to malleability attacks, we merely observed a total of 302,000 bitcoins ever being involved in malleability attacks. Of these, only 1,811 bitcoins were in attacks before MtGox stopped users from withdrawing bitcoins. Even more, 78.64% of these attacks were ineffective."
MisterE: I don't believe the malleability bug had much of anything to do with Gox's insolvency
BingoBoingo: moiety: Well they were one of the earliest crypto-concerns I had dealt with back in early 2013. I have a lot of notes. // Well I threw up in one or both party's residence at least once
mircea_popescu: do we know who they are ?
punkman1: someone should bug them to release all that data, would be good to have
punkman1: mircea_popescu: they had been gathering data since Jan 2013, transactions looking like malleability-attacks only spiked after the Mtgox press release
moiety: BingoBoingo: i'm looking forward to part 2 of vircurex btw // yeah theres nothing quite like university staff politics
mircea_popescu: benkay one doesn't get too far in life by paying any heed to the youth.
mircea_popescu: punkman1 well, it was known since t+1second, but it's good someone actually put it in writing, so to speak.
BingoBoingo: moiety: I've met both of them, but my knowledge of each is insufficient to make a judgment on who is likely more truthful
MisterE: benkay: most of the world is OK with a 20 years age diff
moiety nods I was thinking this BingoBoingo
ozbot: Errata Security: We may have witnessed a NSA "Shotgiant" TAO-like action
BingoBoingo: moiety: Probably a little bit of each, but I had moved on by then
benkay: mircea_popescu: except in the us where the notion of a 'wife' in the older than a decade sense is abhorrent to the youth.
BingoBoingo: moiety: I'll decline to comment.
MisterE: there's nothing wrong about being up front about the desire for security when selecting a mate
mircea_popescu: punkman1 so are they saying that mtgox made it up ?
mircea_popescu: an earnest hussy looking for a husband'd seem a lot more respectable than a pretentious priss pretending she belongs in tech or government or w/e.
mircea_popescu: you say that as if it were a bad thing.
ozbot: [1403.6676] Bitcoin Transaction Malleability and MtGox
MisterE: also known as a finishing school for Southern hussies on the hunt for financial security

mircea_popescu: "2) Fairness/cheating: This foundation is related to the evolutionary process of reciprocal altruism."

mircea_popescu: no wonder painting is dead as an art. who, or should i say what, to paint ?
