benkay: psh who downsizes things
cazalla: 20kb sufficient for that? i thought you need to keep a certain resolution
mircea_popescu: generally the way this crap works in practice, you have a size. if you get sent stuff under that size you return it as illegible,
mircea_popescu: yeah but you resize them for storage
cazalla: i would guess a lot of people just send 5mb jpegs too

mircea_popescu: at any rate, ~20gb worth of passport scans is, if memory serves, in the 2-3k range
cazalla: maybe the 20Gb represents 5% of people who verified and the remaining 1Gb represents the other 95% of people and is just username + email
cazalla: that too
cazalla: and i would guess gox count their 1m account as those registered, not just funded/active or verified
dexX7: B007: haha that's awesome, just started watching
mircea_popescu: even if they are hard to find
B007: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
B007: good ascii artists are hard to find
gecko_x2: you don't know what's in the database
mircea_popescu: pay attention, srsly. this is a fast crowd here.
mircea_popescu: it means that a 20gb file containing 1mn records is limited to 20kb per record.
gecko_x2: wtf does that mean?
gecko_x2: did you just decuce that fact in your brilliant head?
mircea_popescu: i thought we just established that a) no 1mn and b) no passports.
mircea_popescu: gecko_x2 you two will have to decide at some point if you wish to talk sense or not.
gecko_x2: MP seems to me you think you are smarter that the rest of the world
gecko_x2: i bet that's why ppl love you so much on bitcointalk threads :p
cazalla: i'd like to know if they actually deleted your data after 90 days when closing your account as they said they would
gecko_x2: ofcourse. leave it to the great mircea popescu to just scorn and spit on anyone that talks about it
gecko_x2: i find it amazing that nobody seems to care
dexX7: so did anyone confirm this guy really has the data?
mircea_popescu: irc is the place. where else ?
gecko_x2: what idiot would try to sell it on irc anyways?
B007: "I will verify that I am in possesion of this data before you make purchase. Interested buyers can contact me and I will send you all information contained in file about you personally. No one contact asking for parts of the file for free/me to send file before payment."
gecko_x2: then there is a problem
gecko_x2: well if my passport and home address is in there
dexX7: "contact me for samples, so i know who the bad guys are"
dexX7: "send btc, you surely get the data"
mircea_popescu: nobody was willing to pay 100 btc for mtgox whole.
mircea_popescu: haha so wait, the dude figures someone cares enough about mtgox to pay 100 btc for their tx history ?
dexX7: i only saw this one: http://pastebin.com/N7B5DC4d
dexX7: wait, what pastebin is that?
B007: "willing to sell it in pieces, 10BTC for 2gb of data"
mircea_popescu: offering to sell whatever
mircea_popescu: dexX7 what are yu on about, that was the discussion, some nanashi dude on forum/etc
mircea_popescu: dexX7 yes, but it makes no sense. why'd you base64, what is this, db-over-email ?
dexX7: i'm not aware of this and i'm also not aware that it was ever discussed this db will be up for sale
mircea_popescu: otherwise who'd buy a db of some txs
mircea_popescu: i thought the claim was as to a bunch of passport scans
dexX7: i mentioned base64 encoded related to "store images in a database"
B007: I almost want to buy that db
dexX7: contact infos, transaction histories etc., i'd guess
mircea_popescu: then what'd be in the db ?
dexX7: no, the claim is they are in posession of a 20 gb database and the guy further ensured that they are not looking forward to leak verification docs but they may have that
dexX7: and i doubt those are base64 encoded and stored there
mircea_popescu: yes, the claim is that this is.
mircea_popescu: if they had 1mn customers the average passport scan is 20kb
dexX7: you're mapping file size to customers?
gecko_x2: he claimed he was trying to protect me lol
gecko_x2: and he just banned me from ##mtgox-chat for pointing out that he should report the suse to interpol or something, not help him
mircea_popescu: dja know what i did there ?
gecko_x2: in flogging the database
gecko_x2: was trying to help this nanashi dude
gecko_x2: i mean this user at the end of that pastebin
dexX7: yea i saw that, but the db is not available, right??
gecko_x2: i just find it weird that there is no talk
gecko_x2: the issue was about the stolen database
ThickAsThieves: millions is a lot more than 1 mil as well
ozbot: Lost in translation: the tangled tale of Mt. Gox's missing millions - e-commerce, Mt. Gox, security,
gecko_x2: "The site had 1 million customers as of December 2013, according to a document posted on the Web that was purported to be a leaked business plan."
gecko_x2: well MP.. they did have 1 million users
gecko_x2: and yet.. no thread on bitcointalk
gecko_x2: as u can see in the pastebin log
gecko_x2: about him trying to help this nanashi character that was trying to flog the database for personal gain
gecko_x2: i pm's this one guy that turned out to be a op on ##mtgox-chat
gecko_x2: well u get the point
mircea_popescu: some guy was offering to sell it neh ?
gecko_x2: one would think that millions of users would be interested if their passports leak
gecko_x2: weird that there's no thread about the mtgox database theft

mike_c: 1/256 :) math is cool that way
mike_c: if 16 zeros is required, they ought to get 17 zeros by happenstance 1/16 times or so
artifexd: mike_c, 17 zeros does appear common now. 289404, 289364, 289358... the list goes on
mike_c: no i liked it. i just wonder what train of thought lead there
mircea_popescu: mike_c lol. but i mean... it's not THAT out there is it ?
artifexd: mike_c there was a block with 17 zeros 9 months ago
mike_c: do these metaphors just come to you? "If this story was motivated by a quest for truth I am an alien shooting lasers from my ears"
mircea_popescu: so what's the problem with 500 ph
mike_c: oh yeah, somebody in here was talking about driving over to his house.
artifexd: mircea_popescu mike_c made a comment that would have fit nicely into that post. Something along the lines of "Leave the man alone. Either he is the real Satoshi and deserves our respect. Or he isn't and you're bothering the wrong guy."
