decimation: he has a mildly informative podcast which occasionally has interesting
tidbits
mircea_popescu: lol is
this
the nut with
the "fix your harddrive spin" nonsense /
decimation: Ziff-Davis did some research using some of
the bitcoin chain
tracking software,
tracing four addresses which were used and were determined from multiple CryptoLocker victims who, after paying
their money, made public
the address
that
they had sent payment
to.
The CryptoLocker extortionware acquired a
total of 41, just shy of 42,000 bitcoins, 41,928 bitcoins.
Duffer1: other
than by making domains unrealistically expensive
Duffer1: i can't imagine how
they'd solve
that issue
mircea_popescu: Since domains are extremely cheap
to obtain with Namecoin, and registered domains cannot be seized (they can only be
transferred by
their owner), Namecoin has had problems with cybersquatters buying up domains, hoping
to resell
them later for a profi
Duffer1: seems like an interesting way
to attack
the coin
herbijudlestoids: 0.01NMC, you could register every word in

there's going
to be
the piss-mp-off gem on
the fgorum, people buying it from each other on
the grounds
that any day now it'll piss me off
mircea_popescu: i have more like a 6 months span on stuff

than i've been paying attention.
kakobrekla: you cant kill something
that isnt
there
herbijudlestoids: i
thought
there was some flaw discovered in namecoin
that killed adoption
herbijudlestoids: personally i prefer implementations like
the GNUnet Name System (GNS)
herbijudlestoids: let me explain: i used
to conduct various communications using GPG over email. now i use a combination of
tails, i2p and pidgin+OTR or i2pmessenger+OTR
mircea_popescu: otr ensures you
that your messages can only be read at one point on
the network, and
that once
the conversation is ended anyone could have written it.
herbijudlestoids: i
think i have not signed or encrypted anything with a GPG key in years
mircea_popescu: the point is
that if anyone needs

Duffer1: even if you don't

mircea_popescu: btw herbijudlestoids do yourself a favour get in

herbijudlestoids: so
to
the machine, somehow drab is somewhere on
the synonym chain for whore
herbijudlestoids: probly
the entire
thing is done by machine learning and no validation ;)
mircea_popescu: jesus google is shitty,
there's a conjunctive verbal form
there, definitely can't work as a noun nor does it mean whore.
herbijudlestoids: yeah you can see
the little bar next
to it shows google isnt as sure as for
the other words
mircea_popescu: lele actually wouldn't be recognised as such. it's a disused word and most speakers would only
take it as an antiquated form for older sister/girlfriend
mircea_popescu: petarda (ie, firecracker) ; zdreanta (used scrap of cloth) ;
there's prolly 100+
mircea_popescu: btc is in fact
the missing piece in
the ancient problem of bootstrapping everything of
this sort.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> in fact, now
that i
think of it, btc is
the missing puzzle piece in
the ancient problem of bootstrapping a global radio mesh. << /me grins
herbijudlestoids: how do you convince everyone
to run a client, and in
the end most "consumers" run it from
the cloud anyway
decimation: ?There are a handful of big providers you would need
to coordinate with and
they are all licensees of
the state

herbijudlestoids: but also gnunet has some support for
the concept, including
the ability

mircea_popescu: admitting you agree
the parachute moment was at
the latest nixon
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: i agree with
the idea of building
the infrastructure so
that it doesnt necessarily need
the internet
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the one critique i have
to
this is
that should it be invented afore, it'll
then necessarily be known afore.
this is perhaps unideal. bitcoin was invented before or after ? does it work because it was invented after ? would it have, were it invented before ?
herbijudlestoids: this sentence "Right
that, right
there, even if she spent
the entire interval nude, made soap out of her own sebum and ate food stampsvi you would not be able
to cover cost." ...i feel like....i love
this sentence
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you found your way
to where i used
that same sharpie
to rape something awful ?
herbijudlestoids: haha i got a little lost in
the post where you offered 10BTC
to
the guy
to put a sharpie in his butt
nubbins`: "we can't open
this, can you send it in .doc?"
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: interesting
thought, i hear yesterday
the UK endorsed ODF for all documents in
the future
decimation: For
the amount of money
the USG shovels into
the beltway bandits, we could have your princely secure
terminals
decimation: Ascii, have you considered
that
the insecurity of MS (and apple) crapware now justifies
the Pentagon's budgets?
