assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 21:01:23; mike_c: There isn't much doubt that they took ulbricht's coins, right?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: or they were trying to solve a different problem:

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i'm slow..
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu asciilifeform could also be variable taper
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if can vary taper between min and max of what opponent could have used - then yes
adlai: pete_dushenski: let's say scytale diameter is em/2π, ie the message has six 'rows', and each sextet of letters on the wrapped paper corresponds to a column
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 16:51:02; ben_vulpes: http://www.jwz.org/blog/2015/03/google-seems-to-have-broken-email-forwarding/ << moar on google breaking the internet
adlai: pete_dushenski: could be. scytales just rearrange the 'packets' of a message, whereas modern crypto jumbles the data within
cazalla: mircea_popescu, aren't the us lefties the type of lefties behind bitcoin wimminz day anyway
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu aha you're quite right about the scytales. a variable diameter stick is really a fascinating way of graphing cryptographic curves.
adlai: gathering and interpreting actual information is a totally different story, and there's a huge amount of information that most/all human traders totally *ignore*, and that's as mike_c said - past order book movements
adlai: the 'perfect knowledge' bot - are you using the word 'perfect' to suggest that it knows what _will_ happen?
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 21:02:54; mike_c: seems there ought to be some reasonable blockchain evidence one way or the other. don't we know the ulbricht address in question?
jurov: mike_c: have you read the last report?
danielpbarron: lol mike_c
asciilifeform: mike_c: it will give you an x and x', where x' > x
asciilifeform: mike_c: technically yes
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: conjecture.
asciilifeform: mike_c: for folks who like to gamble - straight to the dice games
asciilifeform: mike_c: religion? ok
asciilifeform: (n00bs can read my original article reviewing mpex, containing summary of mircea_popescu's material on above subject - http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1108 )
felipelalli: mike_c: yes. now I think jurov is too much nice. :D
asciilifeform: mike_c: yes, rich, if it's 5 in plutonium
asciilifeform: mike_c: i still don't get why somebody buying a parcel of $maxint btc would affect the price on, e.g., 'btc-e'
thestringpuller: mike_c: price suppression is basis, but maybe there is more strategy to it?
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: afaik the only source of this hypothesis is mircea_popescu, who presumably has a clue, but understandably won't reveal source of said clue
thestringpuller: mike_c: they don't sell coins. they make you think they are selling coins.
lobbes: mike_c: you have better eyes than I

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: o.O havelock returns ? << we are dealing with undead. it is to be expected...
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: yea. now we can associate bitcoin trades to a key to associate trust value.
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> [05:31] mircea_popescu: Has #b-a actually banned ever? << tiberius.
punkman: mircea_popescu: criticized ending the dam project to protect the lousewort; << who the fuck cares about the lousewort
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 09:09:14; mircea_popescu: or whatever, the bruhaha makes me want to send usd to isis now. how do i go about it ?

fluffypony: [11:05:44] <+mircea_popescu>lol twitter murdered bryce weiner ? ahaha <- lol, anyone know what the story is?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, seems an opportunity for them to stick their dcc branded shit next to an even bigger shittier brand, that being international wimminz day

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski http://www.contravex.com/2015/03/04/kerckhoffs-history-and-principles-of-military-cryptography-translated-and-adnotated/#footnote_2_2919 << belive it or not that'd actually be ecdsa rather than simple transposition.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's 100% free online, too
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's alive for the purpose of usg stooges being able to 'talk about bitcoin' without mentioning #b-a ever
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 05:30:37; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-03-2015#1041914 << lol this dood's something else. who the fuck was banned, even ?!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nothing malicious about the poor bugger, just the fact of having all of the traditional misconceptions ('i'll use my phone', 'let's try the Cloud', etc.)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: best I can tell they were anb honest n00b
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Has #b-a actually banned ever?
asciilifeform: and ben_vulpes - to the ministry of wunderwaffen rocketeers
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Over time total new s.qntr per month is on a downward trend becasuse refinement
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: qntra shares face scarcity necessarily
decimation: mircea_popescu: didn't you make the point about how the guns we are allowed to keep are of little threat to usg anyway?
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 04:11:00; assbot: Logged on 03-03-2015 22:23:41; ascii_field: every time i do this, i get the distinct feeling that i'm the only living thing other than the package maintainer/developer who tried to build it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=04-03-2015#1040458 ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would need a sabot
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: have them machined grossly then electrofined << nonono - whole point is to make'em in a cup in kitchen, jungle conditions
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, ben_vulpes: incidentally, bullet would be a perfect 'killer app' for electrolytic machining. low mass, touchy geometry
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we already have this. in slow motion
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe not, but having your product obstructed by every domestic shipping company... maybe?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: '3d printed gun' fella

BingoBoingo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragunov_Sniper_Rifle
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a beautiful treatise, 'art of the sniper' ('искусство снайпера') - ru of course - highly recommended if aficionado or even mild interest in the history. describes precisely what modern designers changed
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure, but at the point barrels make a difference operator makes a far greater difference
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: moder sniper rifle has bullets of similar power to mosin, simply smaller case
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: largely a third-world (afghanistan, africa) item currently, afaik
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Mac10's caliber is recognized now as sub pistol, .380 ACP isn't beating a single sheet of kevlar
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, not for the whole club, but if you have people designated to hit marks at a distance...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Equivalent to US .30-06 caliber. Beats any man wearable armour
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: full-sized rifle cartridge, one of the 'hottest' still made (7,62x54r)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://www.nakop.ru/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=160390 << it
asciilifeform: http://www.e-reading.link/bookreader.php/138815/Expert_C_Programming:_Deep_C_Secrets.pdf << l33t w4r3z. have this in dead tree, it's one of the most riotously entertaining books on any kind of programming whatsoever, imho
asciilifeform goes further than mircea_popescu, dispenses with 'machine word' concept. want bits, say how many.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: long story : traditionally, "int" means a word... << obtain, from purely historical interest, if you don't already own it, k&r 1st ed. good tour of the weirdo word (and byte!) sizes on the archs of the day. predecessor 'B' was 'typeless' (all things are machine-word width) and this was not uncommon then
mircea_popescu: incidentally, on that score : as mike_c correctly pointed out a week or so ago, headsup is actually a broken game now, courtesy of teh damned computers.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i curious about the no-recourse mortgages as well. lender returns payment stream, keeps asset?
ryan-c: mircea_popescu: probably at least 50,000 in the US
ryan-c: ben_vulpes: https://keybase.io/ryanc is me
ryan-c: ben_vulpes: I don't think so. I'm not Ryan X Charles.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what is that trilema address?
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: you lose due to recency bias! I’ll extend the thanks to you regardless haha
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 14:26:17; Pierre_Rochard: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-03-2015#1041323 < thanks for the tip, I’ll set up a euro bank account when I’m in france this summer
cazalla: mircea_popescu, fixed
hanbot: mike_c noted!
mike_c: hanbot: if you install gentoo and eulora from scratch it would be cool to have a step-by-step for http://www.eulorum.org/Installing_Eulora#Gentoo
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik 100% of mortgage deals in usa do
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu is right re: earlier observation that the mega-bubble didn't seem to kill anyone
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is your explanation essentially that exchange value of btc (in the secular world at large, not speaking of usd in particular) and the btc income of a well-organized business are tightly coupled and the 'rope never breaks' ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i would say this is true for the zero asset corporations. the non-zero asset corporations seem to be holdling their own, but too early to tell.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mpex, as i understand, consists of ultra-long-haul folks
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: but what if your revenue stream is no longer a stream but a trickle like man with swollen protrate trying to pee?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: problem is that most sources of bitcoin revenue are made of flesh and likely to suffer damage on hypothetical 'day x'
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i don't have credit cards << do you deal with credit at all (i.e. loc)?
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu appears to get exactly the same spam as my spam-magnet, turd for turd
