mircea_popescu: so your evil plan
to hexedit an exe compile actually worked ?
Namworld: I see you re-added my key.
Thank you.
ozbot: A Few
Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering: RSA warns developers not
to use RSA products
Namworld: It worked before when MPEx moved
to MPEx.co
mircea_popescu: yeah i guess so. maybe one of
the bloggers recounts it sometime.
qxzn: aw,
that's a shame, it was such a good story
mircea_popescu: qxzn probably not past a number of scammer
threads on
the forum.
qxzn: is
there a decent writeup somewhere of
that Ripple "demonstration"
TradeFortress made?
ozbot: The

Namworld: But an hex editor usually works fine for changing
the url or key
to use
Namworld: No idea, can't remember who it was who made
the port.
Namworld: I have
to use an hex editor
to change key I believe
kakobrekla: im more skeptical for bb sine
theres all
these odds in
the air
that you wont get your money back
kakobrekla: i need
to find a way
to avoid
this happening for b4x, cause i know it is
jborkl: capacitors can't be damaged by having current applied "before
they've discharged
their load"
jborkl: so,
the entire hosting is being blamed on Corsair
jborkl: EDIT: I should add
that KnC are using Corsair V850s
themselves, and haven't had an issue with any of
them.
That said apparently
they almost supplied
their entire hosting with
the HX, but due
to
the HX being out of stock for
the volume required,
they bought
the V850. Which in hindsight is a wonderful
thing.
mircea_popescu: and moreover it seems
the majority of people i showed
the pics
to say
those aren't electrolytic but ceramic
jborkl: The heavy scorch marks some of
the boards are showing indicates more
than a cap also
mircea_popescu: jborkl originally it looked like caps just popped but
the history since
then does nto bear it out
jborkl: it makes sense-
the KNC
theory is just flat out wrong
jborkl: that is a good
theory mp
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
the current
theory i'm crediting is
that
the boards have bad metal masks in a spot, and it slowly melts
the insulation
kakobrekla: that seems
to me like something
that happens while under load for some
time
jborkl: A better guess-
they are drawing
too much off
the ps- it cuts off
to protect itself and
the caps pop
jborkl: I know,
that is a bad diagnosis- it is just wrong
mircea_popescu: if all
the boards burn its not
the capacitors, it's not
the power, it's
the board.
jborkl: Basically
there is an issue with excessive current being applied, after
the PU cuts out and
the device is
turned back on, causing
the cap
to pop.
jborkl: It appears
that a reasonable solution has been reached in
that all
the boards
this has occurred
to seem
to have been used alongside
the exact same PSU;
The Corsair HX850.+
jborkl: KNC says all
the caps blowing is due
to
the corsair ps
jborkl: With respect
to
the capacitors, an investigation has been undertaken with Anotherhost.se, as
they have suffered
the issue with all
their boards.
mircea_popescu: on
the basis of
this we could say "the community" is sometime between 12k and 7k BC
mircea_popescu: basically
the very primitive understanding of freedom has serious
trouble coming
to
terms with
the ancient procedure of labour division
samson_: I
think it would be an evolution on current uses of blockchains without going down
the whole coloured coins route
samson_: This is
true, I'm not saying it's simple
ThickAsThieves: me for example, you
think i would manage a ledger system for free?
ThickAsThieves: realize
that in such a system you'd end up with more friction
ThickAsThieves: just because you can "withdraw" your share, doesnt mean it will have usefulness in
the same ways
samson_: It would end reliance on 'the exchange' so when it closes down
they could be
traded elsewhere.
ThickAsThieves: hordes of ingoramuses asking what is a labcoin and how do i get
them?
Jere_Jones: I admit
that I, at one
time or another, owned shares of both.
ThickAsThieves: lots of people focusing attention on
them like a bitcoingem
ThickAsThieves: you'd prefer
the stock market
to more resemble
the altcoin markert?
samson_: I guess my
take on it is
the shares could do with decentralisation, not so much
the exchanges.
samson_: If anyone can create a security
then I don't see
the big deal.
The approval process would happen automatically if people started
trading
them for Bitcoin.
Take
these new alt currencies which appear
to be created daily -
they're not all
traded on exchanges hence
they're not 'approved'.
They still exist but
that is irrelevant.
jborkl: and do not sat
the commnity, because a group of retards approving something is still a group of retards making a decision
jborkl: Who would approve- dissaprove securities -
The only person I have seen competent in
theis matter already has an exchange
samson_: If shares were issued on
their own blockchain and could be freely moved between
the various available
trading sites / 'share wallets'
there would be no real difference in
trading a share
to
trading an altcoin. Something like
this would provide no decentralised exchange but it provides a way
to hold and move shares independently of any
trading platform. Just like Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: because everyone gains when nobody does his job well because he's
too busy
trying
to do poorly
the jobs of others.
ThickAsThieves: "I
think decentralized is
the only way
to go as
this will happen
to any other centralized exchange. Looking into
the Namecoin code
to create a decentralized exchanged. As was said above it can be merged mined with Bitcoin. We could uses our own miners
to get it going." Ken Slaughter
jurov: like "if
the company is a scam,
then it can work"
jurov: i understood it
the opposite way
jurov: no its not, especially if used like: unless
the company is a scam,
then it can work
mircea_popescu: ;;google "a company for carrying out an undertaking of great advantage, but nobody
to know what it is"
☟︎ ThickAsThieves: thus a decntralized service would make
their lives easier
jurov: so
to what you said "true"
then? i'm confused
pankkake: unless
the company is a scam,
then it can work :)
ThickAsThieves: another area people
think decentralization addresses is circumventing SEC and other regulation
pankkake: I'm not well versed in
trade engines, but I don't see how you could execute
them in a decentralized way
ThickAsThieves: "Such
terms is rather ridicules and im sure
they wont hold up in court in many country's"
ThickAsThieves: circling back
to, i'd love
to see blog article from mp
that supported what ive just described
