MisterE: thats where TPB guys are chilling out
MisterE: oh I believe that, Laos can be lawless
MisterE: I haven't travelled much in Laos there's not really much there heh
antephialtic: Vang Vieng is a party location. Went there when I was in college with a few friends. It's like heaven on earth
MisterE: antephialtic: thats how they pronounce it but proper spelling is Vientiane, I have been there several times for visas but can't say I enjoy the place
mircea_popescu: basically, copy/pasted the bloomberg story.
mircea_popescu: "SatoshiDice.com, according to a copy of the request posted on the website trilema.com."
mircea_popescu: "SatoshiDice listed shares on MPEx in August 2012, according to an MPEx-affiliated website."
MisterE: I'm working on an idea to address that mircea_popescu
antephialtic: MisterE: have you ever been to Vang Vieng, Laos?
MisterE: such crap journalism these days
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "This means that the physical machine which hosts the trading engine is not accessible directlyii from the Internet." <<< so if i were to vpn a machine with a private gpg key and send data over the wire (via some computer) I would never have to worry about the keyring being compromised? Or is the most effective way to sign/encrypt/decrypt/verify data on an airgapped machine then marshall it over v
antephialtic: Thailand is quite cheap, yes. Lots of security people there as well
MisterE: I recommend everyone with a head on their shoulders gtfo of US now

joecool: MisterE: of course, though I intend to eventually move out
MisterE: joecool: living in the US is suspicious behavior
asciilifeform: they even had the audacity to... solicit donations from the public!
asciilifeform: many years ago, as a freshly graduated kid, i worked in a dreadful salt mine where one of the products was a military bot based on a segway with the top part sawn off.
antephialtic: to keep the homeless away
antephialtic: In many parts of the US, especially the south, townships are designed such that walking is impractical and everyone must have a car
joecool: mircea_popescu: walking in the US is suspicious behavior
joecool: mircea_popescu: true story, I was actually stopped by a cop multiple times one day because I decided to walk to the next town instead of driving one day, he damanded to know my destination and I refused to provide him with it.
mircea_popescu: hahaha i did not know that
dexX7: says a guy who rides a horse in the desert ;)
asciilifeform: 'poetic justice' - the idiot who bought segway corp. ended up driving his... off a cliff.
antephialtic: Dean Kamen must have had a friend in the DoJ
asciilifeform: accounted for a good fraction of the net sales
asciilifeform: if i recall, there was a fed. gov grant for them to buy the machines
gribble: MPEx tech stuff pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/mpex-tech-stuff>; MPEx security breach pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/mpex-security-breach>; MPEx pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/category/mpex/>
thestringpuller: ;;google site: trilema.com mpex tech stuff
mircea_popescu: jesus why is everyone so opposed to walking
joecool: mircea_popescu: the bigger ones moved up to SUVs. more room
asciilifeform: if they're 'the bullet with your name on it, not the shrapnel addressed 'to occupant'' - doesn't matter if you're black, white, martian
mircea_popescu: so now they won't ever get out of them if they can help it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well cause the us made the mistake of giving the cops squad cars
asciilifeform: people have this odd concept that encounters with police take place exclusively in traffic
Mats_cd03: cops is a theatrical production
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell nubbins` ^
antephialtic: police treatment in the US is very different depending on race and socioeconomic status
Mats_cd03: if someone makes t shirts with "i am satoshi nakamoto" with a v for vendetta theme or ghost in the shell, i will be your first customer
mircea_popescu: i dunno how cops can manage in that sort of poisonous atmosphere
mircea_popescu: but i do imagine it makes administerting justice in the us fucking impossible.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i dunno why people are so touchy really.
antephialtic: besides, I don't think MP is the one in trouble here. Voorhees, on the other hand ...
benkay: no no it was much better the first way
mircea_popescu: the two are distinct.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic they probably will.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 i don't see why not. i thought it already is, but more like "he is satoshi nakamoto"
antephialtic: MP: it would have been way cooler if they had joined the WOT :-(
mircea_popescu: to make a legal request you gotta make that legal request. i wouldn't presume to teach teh sec how to do that.
mircea_popescu: to make a friendly request you gotta be friends. the path ot becoming friends is detailed.
mircea_popescu: basically, there's two avenues open. you can make a legal request, or you can make a legal request.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 it doth say there, mpex does comply with legal requests.
antephialtic: I would actually buy the bitcoin glasses from the newsweek cover
assbot: Last trade for S.MPOE on MPEX was at 0.0008149 BTC [+]
Mats_cd03: Can "I am Satoshi Nakamoto" be a thing?
Duffer1: what's the plan if they attempt subpeona?
antephialtic: well, good luck with the SEC business. I suspect it will bring you a lot of attention, releasing those emails has definitely already made some waves.
mircea_popescu: well some are automated reposts from trilema
antephialtic: do you actually write the tweets?
mircea_popescu: rather than telegenic
mircea_popescu: actually come to think of it... i'm like kirk, if the bridge bunnies were actually useful
mircea_popescu: diametric that is actually pretty close to the truth of the matter.
diametric: and of course the one where everyone in this channel is you.
novusordo: didn't know about the cardano, interesting
diametric: I like the ones where you're not actually a person, but a group of individuals pretending to be a guy named Mircea Popescu
mircea_popescu: "Make no mistake that the US gov't already knows the real identity and location of MP."
mircea_popescu: like the superbowl
asciilifeform: and tossing the old one in the reactor
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like to imagine that it covers the cost of a girl etching the new key in a granite plinth
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless i'm mistaken, this counts as buying a new subscription
mircea_popescu: and even there... reg new key, push assets, good to go.
asciilifeform: diametric: afaik the only well-known, interesting place where key can never be changed is mpex
asciilifeform: but two weeks later, there it was
asciilifeform: i did mention that i tried and it croaked
asciilifeform: and took ages
diametric: asciilifeform: I swore you had told me you couldn't before.
asciilifeform: diametric: assuming, naturally, control of the previous key
asciilifeform: diametric: you do know that one can change keys in wot
antephialtic: indeed. as long as the price is not obscene, I am willing to pay for convenience without sacrificing security.
asciilifeform: the old saw, 'xxxx is free if yer time has no value'
asciilifeform: do not neglect to take into account what the substitute costs (incl. one's time)
asciilifeform: that is, the contrivance i assume everyone here is presently using in lieu of a cardano
asciilifeform: intent is for the product to be priced competitively vs. the state-of-the-art alternative (i.e. the traditional '90s laptop with linux/gpg in ROM)
asciilifeform: mp proposed a tentative price at one point, but that was some time ago
antephialtic: cool, do you have any idea what the pricing will be like?
mircea_popescu: antephialtic ideally should be available to order late april.
asciilifeform: this is certainly one of the intended use scenarios, yes.
antephialtic: have multiple machines that I want to sign emails from, some of which are not fully in my control (e.g. workstation owned by employer)
asciilifeform: antephialtic: be so kind as to briefly describe your use case - for my enlightenment
antephialtic: I was recently looking into buying a hardware device for GPG signing and everything on the market looks pretty clunky. I stumbled onto the Cardano, and it seemed pretty well suited to my use case
