asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suppose it works by 'at will employment, we do whatever we feel like, incl. fuck your ear, and if you dun like it go find another plantation'

asciilifeform: lol i gotta wonder, do they draw straws, short straw gets the ear

asciilifeform: ( d00d wasn't a monkey, had an actual skill, even, a db massageur and imho a good one )

asciilifeform: what does tax even mean when you're paid in sov scrip to begin with.

asciilifeform: not only tax. old associate of asciilifeform's thought he was clever , went off to taiwan, keeping same (tele) job. found himself with 'cost of living adjust' to half the pay the next month.

asciilifeform: ... or maybe not even. i met people who get 20 here in ye olde swamp and still have a flat to himself, rather than barrack

asciilifeform: '...people-say-about-making-120000-in-silicon-valley-2016-6...' << that's quite like 20 in the normal swamp

asciilifeform: shinohai: i had a somewhat nonstandard 'bootcamp' tour.

asciilifeform: and without even a bot...

asciilifeform: shinohai: recall http://btcbase.org/log/2013-02-17#-120762 ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: shinohai: lol !

asciilifeform: *unherds

asciilifeform: ( summary: partizan boy going barmy; column is advancing, but he stops to shoot a hitler poster in the mud. each bullet he imagines unbombs a house, underds buncha prisoners 'from' gasenwagen, armies disassemble, etc, time unwinds. )

asciilifeform: https://youtu.be/qj4BzME7c-o?t=25s << oblig ancient lul

asciilifeform: y'mean there's still a hole b/w there and mircea_popescu's eulora kitchen ?! big enough for ants ?

asciilifeform has only surface knowledge of euloratronics

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: still tearing prbisms out of the graphics libs, or wat

asciilifeform: lol debian rng

asciilifeform: when done to usg -- 'atrocity' ☟︎

asciilifeform: when usg does this to halfwit dissenters, it's a schizo diagnosis and a one way ticket to padded room

asciilifeform: lol!!

asciilifeform: recall, the brochure, where 'close most fed agencies', 'defund warmism', etc etc

asciilifeform: today - only sad skin left.

asciilifeform: hey when balloon was still full of air, looked great

asciilifeform: certainly not the old cuck

asciilifeform: fraud ( or murder, watever ) under usg krysha is a-ok, who's about to punish it

asciilifeform: also bonus, i expect they are working to kick the dog, hoping for a mcveigh

asciilifeform: the previous tard picked for this - one spencer - was spent. so i suppose new one needed.

asciilifeform: aah hm.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-02#1709812 << usg.riaa had no problems with trials and verdicts in absentia; wai nao ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2017/the-goodbye-girl/#comment-122849 << literatureprizewinner!?1

asciilifeform: 'is this gold bar or tungstenlulz' 'we can lose the tail end of it + potentiallywholething to find out, ohjoy!'

asciilifeform: fiatola derps fixate on chains of custody because they can't verify jackshit

asciilifeform: dun have to be carried in arse or under guard etc

asciilifeform: anyway almost whole point of how fg is made is so as this is not esp. appealing.

asciilifeform: it is innit.

asciilifeform: moar of a 'for 10,000 i'll drill own hole'(tm)(r)

asciilifeform: *for what to pay

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-02#1709672 << to briefly revisit this lul -- reaction was to d00d who walked in and 'i'd even pay 20x moar for fg!' but he dun particularly want 20 fg. so suppose to give him for what to 20x moar. ☝︎

asciilifeform: shinohai: it was in 0.1

asciilifeform: somehow never hear about'em no moar

asciilifeform: where did these go.

asciilifeform: aah

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nitpick was not specific to poker, applies to any 3+party game

asciilifeform: shinohai: aha, iirc some 'i am shitoshi'-flavoured sc4mz0r even tried to make use of the fact to 'prove' his case

asciilifeform: was this in the great pokerholocausting?

asciilifeform: but asciilifeform does not specifically favour any of the published algo

asciilifeform: it ain't a virgin field

asciilifeform: !#s cryptographic poker

asciilifeform: (why free gift to derps)

asciilifeform: lol i was about to say.

asciilifeform: clever

asciilifeform: aite.

asciilifeform: for house games would work

asciilifeform: 'house' being them

asciilifeform: who change their nonces specifically when it would benefit the house, and in such a way as to.

asciilifeform: how to prove that the other N-1 players, other than yourself, ain't sybils

asciilifeform: let's say poker

asciilifeform: ( the nonces OTHER than yours )

asciilifeform: walk the nonces until the hash output comes out in favour of house

asciilifeform: then especially how can you prove absence of waltz

asciilifeform: esp if 'anyone can change his nonce whenever'

asciilifeform: and that all the other players' nonces aren't hashwaltzes

asciilifeform: of course you still can't prove that the house was not 'btcmining' the hash

asciilifeform gets

asciilifeform: this reduces to shamir's algo dunnit.

asciilifeform: nifty.

asciilifeform: that'd make sense.

asciilifeform: does it publish 'and then player 9000 changed his nonce at time 100' etc ?

asciilifeform: what does the end-of-play reveal look like ?

asciilifeform: oh -- how ?

asciilifeform: asciilifeform is not made of rubber.

asciilifeform: wasn't proposed as a standard part of fg delivery lol

asciilifeform: depends on the occasion neh.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in point of fact folx can and do sometimes pay for phd to make an appearance at an assembly line.

asciilifeform: almost like 'trusted' were just a cardboard propeller on a straw airplane to these folx

asciilifeform: ikr?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i beg to differ, if unit hangs around asciilifeform's neck from door to door, it's a layer reduction and not == to usmail.

asciilifeform: but i dun know that anybody wants to pay for what it costs to deliver this way, unless he lives across the street.

asciilifeform: and asciilifeform can be replaced with ninjashogun right here in his chair neh. idea is to reduce the layers to 1.

asciilifeform: i.e. no dirty usg postman hands

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: proposed strictly as an answer to the provenance thing

asciilifeform: as in , speaking .

asciilifeform: wasn't even thinking of commission. but abstract 'here'

asciilifeform: why the author is not here, remains a puzzler

asciilifeform: runner up nominate, 'the restless dead vote', and 'sword fucks your wife at night'

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: oh and hey remember the idiot anglos who pictured 'girl mircea'

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709625 << hashcollision!11 ☝︎

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: 'leave town before check bounces' aha

asciilifeform: youreaditherephirst.

asciilifeform: ('trapdoors must exist')

asciilifeform: where whatshisface 'proved' that public key signatures are impossible w/out hashing.

asciilifeform: lulzily, the above result contradicts the 'literature'

asciilifeform: that goes withoutsaying lol

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's potentially infinitely many ways to lubyate

asciilifeform: then verify by unlubying.

asciilifeform: ideally you'd have no 1-aries , for reason discussed earlier

asciilifeform: for n00bz, i'll review : cut into chunks C1,C2,...,Cn; then sign, S(C1 xor C2), S(C2,C3,C9999), S(C5), etc. with the 'soliton' providing the arity
