Namworld: They should still have 500k BTC apparently. (400k from 2011 that haven't moved since and some more) for over 900k owed.
Namworld: There's not too many people in here regularly browsing reddit, so sometimes it takes time to get here.
mircea_popescu: "The SEC does not actively monitor this thread, I have two friends that are attorneys for the Commission, and their interns have much better things to do than passive monitoring. "
Namworld: Which means Mark's blog also got hacked, apparently, if that's not Mark faking it.
Namworld: It does appear to be legit. All accounts and transactions dump.
mircea_popescu: i am fully confident it's ignorance rather than some nefarious anything at work
asciilifeform: but i'll be surprised if this surprises anyone.
asciilifeform: trezor's published code is curiously missing the interesting bits.
mircea_popescu: people who think that by imagining something they're now the best to make it, people who think wanting really hard can substitute for being really able
mircea_popescu: well, bitcoin is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers
asciilifeform: (going by the published pcb mask at any rate)
asciilifeform: it's seriously strange when they do it despite not having to
mircea_popescu: why. cause they think they know better and don't feel the need to ask.
mircea_popescu: dude, if i could explain to you the why of people doing stupid shit...
asciilifeform: why does he need pre-orders, why not just build the damned gadget
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: then this is seriously weird.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: could be that some people are just broke, and this is the only way they can play.
bitcoinpete: I can't quite keep up with mircea_popescu's torrential blogging, but that doesn't mean I won't try.
mircea_popescu: and the irony here is that the mp of that project is slush
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the trezor folks took preorders !?!11!
mircea_popescu: as to the wisdom of not taking pre-orders and generally running a business like a business.

mircea_popescu: anyway. yeah the foundation is going down.
mircea_popescu: nobody heard of him, nobody cares of him, he is thus therefore throwing the full weight of that pompous nothing into things!!!111
mircea_popescu: i love all the pretense tho, "my personal and professional reputation" apparently is the new stock phrase of the chump.
asciilifeform: double-barrelled lol, because since when is throwing somebody's name into a property title spam search engine a proper 'doxing' ?
mircea_popescu: nobody ever thought of that b4 for sure!
mircea_popescu: "o i know, brilliant idea : i will try and frontrun mp!11"
dexX7: "To the chagrin of the less confrontational, I plan to attack. And in putting my personal and professional reputation on the line, I will attack ruthlessly, from the front, and (figuratively) shoot to kill. By Monday, I expect that either: a) Vessenes and Matonis resign gracefully from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, ..."
dexX7: oh well, this 2 bit idiot: http://two-bit-idiot.tumblr.com/post/79070783038/concession "I’m not going to bury the lead; I am not publishing the article tomorrow that I said I was going to on Friday. In fact, I never intended to ..."
mircea_popescu: this is the 80s, back when people using bitcoin i mean email were considered at the very least a little by the guys who generally know everything better
mircea_popescu: "some local computer shop owner yelled at me over the phone when I asked him to email me a price list, telling me that he would never waste his time on email because it took 20 times longer than a phone call"
dexX7: turned out it was a 14 yo child who found the stealer on hackforums
dexX7: there was once a trojan stealer on btctalk which searched for wallet.dat files and forwarded them via mail - the guy included his mail credentials of his private gmail acc =D
asciilifeform: rather than the gox crap
asciilifeform: i'm interested specifically in the trojan payload

thestringpuller: maybe gpg and relational databases aren't meant to be friends
thestringpuller: i guess that might work though...if you only have referentials by pk in your queries; once you retreive the column you could deal with decryption...but hmm
thestringpuller: dexX7: then you can't search a specific column only by PK
dexX7: don't encrypt primary keys and you're good to go?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: perhaps if you stored gpg flatfile and indexed it, then gpg is the bottle neck and not the db trying to decrypt cells...
thestringpuller: it's not built for it, has to call libcrypt or some bullshit
thestringpuller: and you encrypted all the rows it would take 3-4 times longer for normal operation cause it has to decrypt everytime
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: you were probably thinking of that
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: it is possible to search across encrypted data, for some purposes
mircea_popescu: how is this different from you know, gpg as is ?
thestringpuller: so if the database is ever compromised for any reason, it won't matter because it requires a specific gpg key to decrypt the rows
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller to do what ?
ozbot: Messaging - Open Transactions
dexX7: http://opentransactions.org/wiki/index.php?title=Messaging ot is something like this
thestringpuller: random: someone needs to invent a gpg based database
ThickAsThieves: but that was the definition i was going for
ThickAsThieves: i never made the word until now
thestringpuller: that's what we used to say as kids in middle school
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cumsock | A 'special' sock that is used for 'mopping up' following a 'five knuckle shuffle'. Such footwear have the unusual characteristics of being able to ...
ThickAsThieves doesn't know what that means.
ThickAsThieves: no, they are the cumsocks
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves: if porn is the mortar of technology, are video games like the firewood?
dexX7: i think so
mircea_popescu: it still requires you to compile a client and run a server does it ?
ThickAsThieves: imagine all the less friction!
ThickAsThieves: imagine all teh IPOz!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well maybe the traveller dude does,
dexX7: CheckDavid: as said, i'm not really sure how it works. there seem to be central processing servers. new in the sense of "not bitcoin, new underlying technology"
ThickAsThieves: all the people that want decentralized shit like ot and mastercoin are too dumb to use it
asciilifeform: porn, the reconnaissance battalion of technology.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 what do you mean new ? the guy's been working at it since before my time
ThickAsThieves: porn, the mortar of technology
CheckDavid: dexX7: oh. So that system is centralized unlike master coin
mircea_popescu: and by now on their sweat and toil it became generally available
mircea_popescu: in the 2000s it was a business expense for the girfrliendsa working the cams,
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves because they can finally afford mass computers and net
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, there's no such allocation in english
mircea_popescu: people who speak languages with genders end up with fictitious gender partitions like witch/wizard because the teachers are lazy
dexX7: CheckDavid: i don't know much about ot, but it seems it's something completly new, more like a next gen bitmessage + encryption + central server bundle. mastercoin has it's own transaction types etc. and stores them encoded in the blockchain
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: also in WOT (the other wot! 'world of tanks')
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nope. there's no gender in it.
ThickAsThieves: lotsa russians in dota too
asciilifeform: also i thought 'witch' in english was female.
mircea_popescu: we're having a ball these days :D
mircea_popescu: anyway. half the rift guild is russian and ukrainian
mircea_popescu: then he shot some woman in the face.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.39806461 BTC to 3`639 shares, 65899 satoshi per share

mircea_popescu: at like... the bus stop
mircea_popescu: it was all about "projecting your sexuality" upon random unfortunate members of the general public

asciilifeform: the man in the photo - did he pull the trigger and blow his cock ?
