mircea_popescu: he created a fake "short" asset for pirate, he has a long history of trying to be the "respectable" part of various scams.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 meni rosenfeld, the foil for the bdt scam, but much older history.
dexX7: rosenfeld = the bdt guy?
mircea_popescu: i wonder what rosenfeld is doing these days.
pankkake: theswede is just random pr guy - those are old time scammers
mircea_popescu: dexX7 theswede was registered in march.
pankkake: hehe, the "we" always make me lol
dexX7: well, they have a history going back to q3 2012 on the forums
mircea_popescu: it just goes to further show exactly what forum fuckwits are worth
mircea_popescu: which reminds me, haven't heard of the bitfinex thing in a while.
mircea_popescu: "And, it happened that we have access on some 130nm library, so she decided to continue with this library."
knotwork: hmm what is this AVAtrade whose ad I just saw on facebook? A onventional forex site now including bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: well what are they gonna do.
pankkake: I don't know odesk specifically, but most similar websites are like that
kakobrekla: odesk is 99.5% indians and losers at same time
pankkake: I had to google that, I forgot about Flaming Globes of Sigmund
pankkake: they don't pay the guy :o
dexX7: howard wang, the former dev of labcoin has spoken ... http://pastebin.com/rQfbUA8d
mircea_popescu: it would still not be anyonymous, which is in general a much harder problem than cryptography. which is why bitcoin is secure but not anonymous, and why tor fails to deliver on anonymity etc.
mircea_popescu: in opposition to this, something like scp over keybased ssh would be secure, in the sense you can't read messages.
mircea_popescu: recently google had its domains hijacked and there was jack shit it could do. for like days.
mircea_popescu: the dns system is notoriously insecure, as proven by all the cache poisoning attacks etc.
mircea_popescu: in ssl, you acquire it on the basis that a third party says its ok, much like the dns system.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, using pgp-style tools you have a dedicated signature identification step. you somehow acquire my signature. such as, from me.
mircea_popescu: ssl only requires you have the server's public key. it's thus half a protocol.
mircea_popescu: and you have mine to reply.
mircea_popescu: not exactly and not just. think about it : gpg requires that i have your public key to send you stuff
mircea_popescu: that's what ssl pretends to do.
dexX7: so let's say you cloak and sign traffic with gpg or something like that.. like you do for order transmission. that's what ssl does, right?
mircea_popescu: so you know that someone on tor isn't using tor
mircea_popescu: so you can have within tor this plaintext protocol which nobody can identify
mircea_popescu: so like, everyone's on tor right ?
mircea_popescu: maybe they could make a tor tor
ThickAsThieves: a tor detector detector
mircea_popescu: i third the motion.
ThickAsThieves: yeah have them donate it to Tor
blastbob1: they would like that
blastbob1: we can put them into more tor open source development
mircea_popescu: they could pay to blow hookers...
ThickAsThieves: can we insist they spend it on hookers and blow?
pankkake: no, they would ask to bail out labcoin
jurov: good. let's go ask reddit to sign a petition for fbi to invest it into mpoe bonds
Diablo-D3: thus giving back to america
Diablo-D3: thus allowing the fbi to do more on their congressional budget
Diablo-D3: the fbi consumes siezed USD as part of their budget
Diablo-D3: actually they do
Diablo-D3: [07:15:04] <pankkake> but why would they give it? when they seize usds, they don't give it to the usd community
mircea_popescu: pankkake you don't understand reddit. ask it anything, it'll say the same thing : "i want sum gimme"
asciilifeform: the pyre. and sell tickets. better ROI.
pankkake: but why would they give it? when they seize usds, they don't give it to the usd community
ThickAsThieves: maybe they should send it to the btc address with the most coins
ChaangNoi: fbi giving the funds to the bitcoinfoundation or whatdver would not look good imo
ThickAsThieves: i guess that makes all of youtube news
ChaangNoi: hmm if the fbi kept the btc, the rest of the btc would be worth more...
pankkake: how the fuck is that news
ThickAsThieves: reddites telling fbi to give SR btc to the 'community'
ChaangNoi: change.org crap? im out of the loop
ThickAsThieves: if i were the fbi and saw that change.org crap i'd basically be devising the way to cause the most tears
mircea_popescu: lmao that;s some urlizing right there
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you don't understand the free market man.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol tjhat's happening.
ThickAsThieves: i mean, Thermos
dexX7: http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/chart.php << that's the one i was looking for
ThickAsThieves: but Theymos took that away
ThickAsThieves: i can put them on ignore
pankkake: ThickAsThieves: but you can't do anything about it (except create a change.org thing?)
dexX7: what was the "better" pool overview website again?
ThickAsThieves: I support the idea of punishing bitcoiners that assume every situation would be better decided by themselves even though they have no actual authority over or experience in anything
dexX7: I support the idea that the FBI should set up a Bitcoin faucet to give these back to the community slowly. << well okay, that's a cute idea
asciilifeform: like firing gold into the sun. anyone who holds the metal would be slightly richer.
dexX7: i'm not that interested that stupid fbi guys unload 28k in a market order =D
asciilifeform: let's say they burn DPR's computer on a pyre in the public square. This would in principle accomplish the same thing.
dexX7: and the best for the community would be to just "lose" them
dexX7: actually they do want to liquidate the coins
dexX7: how wrong this is..
dexX7: pankkake: yes, that's the goal. there is a 50 btc bounty for the one who can reconstruct the hack.
Kleeck__: Last I read Theymos said they were rebuilding the server and reinstalling the software stack.
pankkake: looking for how they got hacked so it doesn't happen again?
dexX7: so why are the forums still down? i mean, 90 % of all "job offers" are "i'm a dev etc." posts. is the hole crew so uberleet?
dexX7: not so much information, but nice to read, to continue with my first statement ;)
dexX7: mircea_popescu: thanks, great post.
pankkake: well yeah, that one: http://i.imgur.com/hDTH7ZN.png
jurov: for that i recommend http://www.fontspace.com/bythebutterfly/littlemisspriss
jurov: but you can't put them on top of each other
pankkake: that's even for bizness than trilema's comic sans
ozbot: Sassys Teddys 3 font by Dingfontbats - FontSpace
mircea_popescu: why not just write the letters on top of each other and bne done with it
mircea_popescu: that's like the most illegible logo in the history of grafitti.
pankkake: jurov: lol, I don't even know how to do that
pankkake: no, that's not how it works; esc while I was drawing the unfinished path
mircea_popescu: holy shit my temporal lobe fell off
mircea_popescu: stop teaching him thingas
pankkake: fuck, I did it in in insckape, but pressing esc erased my whole thing
kakobrekla: running a btc node on the moon?
mircea_popescu: wha'd tha be
kakobrekla: also can i ipo nasa then?!
kakobrekla: jurov can you add the rainbows to this?
mircea_popescu: did you run out of pixels or what happened to that a ?
