mircea_popescu: davout that's a reel.

punkman: I haven't used GPG enough then
asciilifeform: just the same as always.
asciilifeform: to entertain people with cartoons while they lay back and get pwned
davout: moar convenience i guess, but that's what you describe, gpg is smart enough if there's no ambiguity
mircea_popescu: what is the functionality sought here ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, gpg already recognises destinations by name, email, keyd out of the box
davout: but even without autocomplete you can just give the first unambiguous chars of a key name and gpg will be smart enough to pick the right one
asciilifeform: at any rate, a beartrap is a beartrap, stick your foot in if you enjoy that kind of thing.
davout: punkman: i'm a heretic, i'm on osx, but the gpg i have does it, o wait, its probably zsh, stupid me

punkman: davout, does gpg already do that?
mircea_popescu: punkman what's wrong with, you know, the wot ?
punkman: I just liked the command line utility, I want to associate nicknames to keys
asciilifeform: the less dour the presentation, the more childlike the graphics, the more guaranteed.
davout: i skimmed over it and concluded, maybe too fast, that it was just syntactic sugar around the gpg binary or sthg
asciilifeform: i always think, 'scroll down to where the bastard wants your keys'

mircea_popescu: kinda funny how the stupid work for the smart whether they like it or not.
asciilifeform: channelling herr moldy and orlov: '...it's not clear that you'll want the old world on your resume.'
mircea_popescu: o, you're from X company ? so you're too stupid to live, right, just like the geniuses that founded okcupid, facebook, whatnot.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the positive here is that all these fucktards are rapidly giving old style fiat credentials a bad name.
mircea_popescu: no cause they're encrypted you know.
asciilifeform: let's store private keys on this other fellow's box!
asciilifeform: the fucktards are the lusers.
mircea_popescu: send the fingermen.
blg: benkay: are you referring to the secret service arrests of localbitcoin users?
mircea_popescu: i dont have the shit loaded
asciilifeform: scroll to bottom
asciilifeform: '...certain crypto actions (signing and decrypting) are limited to users who store client-encrypted copies of their private keys on the server, an optional feature we didn't mention above...'
mircea_popescu: "The first time I went to jail I was 18 years old. I had gone AWOL from the navy, was living with 3 prostitutes, and befriended an older Marine. The Marine and I decided to pull an armed robbery of a small convenience store. A policeman happened to be in the area, and after a long chase we were arrested and went to jail."
