<< because it's a fucking stupid idea.
mircea_popescu: Naphex: you could just use google pub dns servers, and place some trust on them, they support dnssec

mircea_popescu: fluffypony: that's bizarre
<< now you understand romania.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: but lots of people are obviously still on slow connections, which drags the average down

mircea_popescu: fluffypony: that makes me a sad panda
<< you can take solace in the knowledge that the thing is complete bs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: decimation: no oven. space constraints. perhaps in new flat.

<< did you do your own layout or did you hire that out?

moiety:
<mircea_popescu> my black stony heart is so satisfied today.
<< what did you eat?!
benkay:
<fluffypony> I worked at this IT company, and there were these two cute sales girls (literally the only two decent looking people at the company)

<midnightmagic> (aside from weak keygen)
<< and aside from planted holes.

<< i forget, what was the eventual return on that thing ?
mircea_popescu:
<Naphex> we are planning on reaching regular folks as well
<< tbh, as long as you ernestly offer the strong version, nobody can hold it against you that you also offer a convenient version.
mircea_popescu:
<benkay> hey, guys: which is less likely to leak? openssl or gpg?
<< gpg may still have a bug or two in there.
mircea_popescu:
<benkay> all of a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party.
<< welcome to... 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: artifexd> That may, or may not, invalidate the ability to use yubikey's servers though. I don't know.
<< afaik blowing their key does make it unable to use the servers, because you see, the true beauty of stupidty : they actually narrow the keyspace (significantly) to make their product vendor-lockedin
mircea_popescu:
<Naphex> asciilifeform: i'm talking from a server end point, i don't have to keep user secret. just public key
<<< see, there. that's the value proposition : it allows the operator to say "sorry, fuck you" to the user in terms that are socially acceptable,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> you gotta transport the secret to the user
<< did i wake up today in a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ?
<< no, you woke up in a parallel universe where microsoft is still a business model.

<< so send him here.
fluffypony: bitcoinpete:naturally, i prod further and his area of interests is sidechains because they "fix bitcoin's incentive problems"
<- with that attitude he's well on his way to being part of the Bitcoin Foundation, maybe he should just apply for a seat?
HeySteve:
<+mircea_popescu> "Without a hierarchical structure it is not possible to transform freedom from a fable into a fact."
<- there should be a science of resilient hierarchical structures which resist corruption and decay. it should draw from historical fact, military tactics and decentralised methods. it should inform a technocratic leadership.
