kakobrekla: php can kick you off this chan
mircea_popescu: "BitWasp is an open source project which aims to lower the barrier for anyone to set up there own secure, anonymous marketplace. "
asciilifeform: pankkake: more like a spoon. the latter is guaranteed not to stab you in the eye spontaneously, if used as prescribed. by pure physical fact of it being what it is.
mircea_popescu: something like that would theoretically qualify, i suppose.
pankkake: I've seen projects like that, interesting, but sadly not going anywhere
mircea_popescu: the idea is to make objects which depend on no externality. as long as they function, they function securely, and this as a matter of fact rather than convention.
mircea_popescu: and for the other, take lavabit as a convenient example. the theoretical privacy offered by the service depended on a godaddy ssl cert and the owner's resistance to fbi court orders.
pankkake: so things that free software can do better anyway?
jcpham: not sure if to laugh or cry
mircea_popescu: such as, "as long as you use gizmo X, there is no way for anyone to listen in to your coversation. no matter what."
mircea_popescu: it's what it is tho, make integrated hardware-and-software products that make absolute guarantees
pankkake: anyway, we know all that is needed is a name and a logo
mircea_popescu: yeah but it'd take straining
jcpham: fuck that i'm not beggin for an explanation
pankkake: so, what is this thing?
mircea_popescu: but if anyone has questions good idea to ask anyway.
mircea_popescu: i plan to make a post tomorrow detailing what the plan is,
mircea_popescu: so there's a new mpex asset : http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.NSA ☟︎
ieatcows: the summary says 4.2 TH but I'm not sure if they factored in the fact that the KNC miners do more than 500 GH since they wrote the summary
jurov: ieatcows: how many ths?
ieatcows: just saw this update if anyone is an ADDICTION holder. --- Some good news at last! As we speak, 9 miners are on their way to our datacenter. Since we don't trust UPS ;) (and UPS does not deliver on the weekends) we are picking them up ourselves :) We picked them up this afternoon so they should arrive in the morning (European time) where we will have them hashing asap!
jurov: but maybe they'll waterboard knuth in turn...
jurov: what keys? when the programmers will get insane, not even fbi will get keys
mircea_popescu: jurov or the fbi could ask for the keys.
jurov: but perhaps imprisonment and torture of phd students must me involved
jurov: lol but having useful code written in malbolge... maybe it could be treated as black box then
thestringpuller: Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. The first Malbolge program was not written by a human being, it was generated by a beam search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke and implemented in Lisp.[1]
mircea_popescu: is that stack based malboge ?
thestringpuller: buildin' tables with echo statements mr. popescu
pankkake: I wouldn't trust it, it does not have "Protected against SQL injections by escaping all possible user input" in its serucity measures
mircea_popescu: jurov i thought people objected at other people using it.
mircea_popescu: i do not think i have seen a more braindamaged piece of software since the days of windows 3.1
mircea_popescu: incidentally, for all the roiling against php i can't believe nobody's saying anything about ubuntu's gedit.
jurov: Of course bitcoinera.net also offers industry standard security, SSL certificates, AES hard disk encryption, hashed passwords, offline cold storage and transaction PINs which makes it one of the most secure online bitcoin wallets available.
mircea_popescu: "We express our condoleances to ourselves for having made this website."
jurov: phone's there. too
jurov: https://bitcoinera.net/ 6% monthly interest.. who is this?
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking, "you've got thirty boys and that many girls. you've got one cock and it won't stand up. what to do ?"
mircea_popescu: "Triginta tibi sunt pueri totidemque puellae: Una est nec surgit mentula. Quid facies?"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it's a liability anyway, all the scammers paying you five btc or w/e to have the airs of respectability... not so good.
pankkake: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/news/video/amd-puts-r9-290x-pre-orders-live-asks-for-200-deposit/ litecoin mining has its preorders too!
asciilifeform: jurov: judging by the 'trillionaire' snafu, they still use BCD.
jurov: and re the trillionaire, mpex made me temporarily rich to some 10^20 magnitude.. no bank can come close
ThickAsThieves: i wouldnt mind if the concept of the "official forum thread" went away
lewicki: free muay thai skin for lol for anyone that's interested:
mircea_popescu: well here's to hoping there'll be a bunch of these and that's tyhat.
jurov: dude was nice, made me subforum with admin access and that's all i needed
jurov: i did not research their backgroud... even if it's UC, i don't care
mircea_popescu: omfg all the icons and shit.
pankkake: but why would we use that forum?
jurov: in re: bitcointalk, there is already https://www.bitcoinforum.com/ and i'm using it for coinbr support for quite some time
ThickAsThieves: much bigger space than comes across in the photos
ThickAsThieves: got to see the offices and storefront
ThickAsThieves: got to participate in a few days of meetings between Neo and partners, etc
ThickAsThieves: basically it will be the bulk of my time for the next few days
Doctor_Andonuts: Awesome, not complaining at all. Just want to make sure I wasnt missed or if I messed something up =D
ThickAsThieves: you'll know when they are done
ThickAsThieves: Doc, I just got home from 2 weeks of travelling
Doctor_Andonuts: ThickAsThieves: have you done all the btct -> other exhchange transfers? I know your busy, just curious
pankkake: there's a forum I've been on for 10+ years, I think I have been banned for 3 of those years
jcpham: fisrt ban goes to pankkake
jcpham: the new forum that is
jcpham: i told them i'd moderate if it doesn't suck
mircea_popescu: afaik that's theymos' idea anyway
pankkake: why would you want to create another forum?
ThickAsThieves: great time for someone to dethrone btctalk
pankkake: assbot: now you're just trying to get me mad
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> and incidentally, how come there's not a half dozen bitcoin busionessmen starting their own retardstalk ? <<<< I was pondering this while on the shitter this morning
pankkake: every time I see a + on labcoin… http://totoz.eu/img/flu12345678
ozbot: Marlene Dietrich - Where have all the flowers gone? - YouTube
mircea_popescu: where have all the jesuses gone ?
kakobrekla: maybe 5 or 10 users more here than regularly
mircea_popescu: and incidentally, how come there's not a half dozen bitcoin busionessmen starting their own retardstalk ?
mircea_popescu: is this the result of the forum croaking ?
skinnkavaj: kakobrekla: oh wow thanks im on tv
kakobrekla: follow that link on the end!
mircea_popescu: pankkake at least there's free cheese.
pankkake: turns out, there is no such free money
asciilifeform: afaik once you're in the eu, you can wander off to some other eu country
pankkake: so we get migrants who go to France to get all that free money
mircea_popescu: besides, from italy they can get to monaco
pankkake: but I get it - there are a lot of myths of money growing on trees
mircea_popescu: i suspect broke means different things in different places.
pankkake: of one of the most broke eu countries
pankkake: the real question is why would somalians want to go to italy
mircea_popescu: People on board burned a sheet to attract the attention of rescuers, starting a fire on board.
mircea_popescu: The disaster occurred when the boat's motor stopped working and the vessel began to take on water, Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said.
pankkake: lol that was why?
mircea_popescu: which burned their tub do the ground err... not to the ground really. to sea level.
mircea_popescu: they started a fire to get people's attention
mircea_popescu: btw, anyone saw the news item about the boatload of african refugees trying to get to europe that had no cellphones and since the boat was leaking
mircea_popescu: i guess this is correct.
mircea_popescu: lol got me there.
mircea_popescu: what's the "real story" ? the movie of how some boy in ghana couldn't afford to buy his sweetheart shoes so he hatched a plan to build an internet paper empire ?
pankkake: doesn't matter. even if everything labcoin says is true it is still a scam
LorenzoMoney: does ANYONE know the real story?
jcpham: that's right buy all that labcoin
mircea_popescu: picostocks thing is such a website masquerading as an exchange.
jcpham: does the asset exchange really make it less or more of a scam
jcpham: i thought all the ipo's were scams
