Duffer1: MP is balls deep in doge, only
talks shit
to get cheaper doge
mircea_popescu: "holy shit, scam X started at y
two months ago now it's at y
times over nine
thousand!!1" pretty much calls for "call me in
two years"
Bugpowder: wow. 100 master coins were minted per BTC during
the kickstarter
Bugpowder: If only I didn't have science
to worry about
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder do
the reading, publish
the results, get peer reviewed.
Bugpowder: In general I support a development model where people buy-in
to
the coin via funding its development
Bugpowder: sigh. OK I will do my reading….

Duffer1: "we recently raised nearly 5000 BTC
to build a new protocol layer on
top of bitcoin."
Duffer1: r/mastercoin i can sub
to be a mastermind
BingoBoingo: Bugpowder: Basically mastercoin is
this colored coins idea but
the developer found a way
to
try colored coins
that involved "Send me your coins and I will make
this
thing"
Bugpowder: I don't know. I'm
totally out of
the loop on it. What do you
think?
BingoBoingo: Bugpowder: Was
there ever a good discussion of mastercoin
that ended up supposing benefits, valuation potention, or some combination of both in
the end?
Bugpowder: Anyone have a link
to a good discussion of master coin benefits and valuation potential?
BingoBoingo: I wonder what ways Bitcoin will be probed in 2014. Bigger DDoS attacks? BitBet being defaced?
The IRS accepting pankkake's altcoin?
mircea_popescu: i know someone who redirected his domains
to
the whitehouse when someone else was
trying
to ddos him
BingoBoingo: Because
the point of collecting
the reports is for
the juicy dump of data about how a machine is configured.
The right way would probably be spamming legit looking reports suggesting people are running WIndows 8.1 on PDP-11s, Vaxen, and other ancient systems
BingoBoingo: The mindset
that leads people
to
think spamming could be a profitable venture would probably be
the sort
that could lead someone
to
think spamming
the NSA into
thinking "user won Darwin Award" is
the most common means by which a Windows system fails
mircea_popescu: it all sounds like good fun
to
the average botnet master i'm sure.
BingoBoingo: Under other circumstances it might lead
to
the NSA extending some sort of job offer.
BingoBoingo: Or some agent could say fuck it and activate
the mechanisms leading
towards extraordinary rendition
to a blacksite and use of Datskovskiy’s soldering iron. Hard
to
tell what
the rogue state will do.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe? Possibly
troll him back. Such an effort might be a heroic waste of NSA and MS
time.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what exactly are
they going
to do ? arrest
the guy for being an asshole ?
Duffer1: ya probably not
the smartest
thing
to do
BingoBoingo: One of
those "You don't have
to outrun
the bear..." cases, except running into
the bear's open arms
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: I imagine repurposing a botnet
to spam fake,
trollish Windows crash reports might be something some sort of activist could be motivated
to do if
they had a strong desire of being found.
Duffer1: i wonder if
there's a way
to edit windows crash reports, send ms and nsa
troll reports instead
mircea_popescu: yeah. it has little
to do with
the english summary, but hey
Duffer1: have you read
the der spiegel piece?

pankkake: there was
that funny comic about it
BingoBoingo: Gotchawallet: Well, some people really just want
to get mugged
pankkake: it's all in
the referal system
KRS|Gotyawallet: at least cex.io isn't a scam, its just a straight up rip-off. Never made sense of
their pricing in
terms of roi..I must hav been doing something wrong because
they still have customers.
Duffer1: labcoin pulled a lot of shit, but
they didn't even
try
to develop something
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure Labcoin did
this. BFL managed
to do
this several
times. Avalon did
this when
they mined on customer rigs before shipping
them.
BingoBoingo: These last minute "pre-shipping" announcements seem more like fishing for a last few suckers
than anything helpful
to people who would have already "Pre-ordered"
Duffer1: ya
they're all mockups so far, it'll be interesting
to see if
they can do what
they say
twizt: like
the bullshit product mockups u can buy from fiverr
twizt: all
those pics look like renders
jborkl: The ecosystem was just smaller
to feed on
then
jborkl: Well Avalon, BFL, basic all said
the same basic stuff.
Duffer1: they announced a few days ago
they'll start shipping first batch by dec 31, it would
take bfl levels of gall
to say
that and not actually be ready
jborkl: In
the next 30 days or more
jborkl: I do not believe
they will ship , but
that is me. I have seen
this story
too many
times now
jborkl: Well,
they have not shipped and now reached
the drop dead refund date.
The
thread is interesting
to keep up with but it appears
the same as

benkay: "just reorganize all
the content all
the
time!"
benkay: "who cares about where
the actual fuck
the viewport is pointed?!"
benkay: i like
their approach
to
the DOM
Duffer1: from english
to romanian with errors :)
Tykling: oh, wait, I may have misread - I
thought you meant phishing
type mails
mircea_popescu: jesus i get all
these season's greetings emails from romanians
that are written in english and full of errors.

Duffer1: don't give
them internet, it's

tool, corrupt
their impressionable minds
kakobrekla: mebbe

mircea_popescu: though i suppose

benkay: sounds like
the xilinx
tools are designed
to implement a certain set of routines in silicon but
the silicon itself can't change
the implemented routines until you bake
the configuration of
the fpga into
the fpga itself. am i close?
benkay: asciilifeform: why do you need
to reverse
the xilinx
toolchain?
