pizzaman1337: “When you interviewed [Ulbricht], he said he would never be arrested. But you can’t resist
the FBI. We will find you.” dun dun dunnn...
mircea_popescu: this is going
to be a pretty sad case once
the da realises
that he's going
to be prosecuting an alleged 1bn+ criminal entreprise with exactly 0 confiscations.
Troic: donate
them
to
the EFF
mircea_popescu: course internet ppls were bitching at me about
tor coupla months back or w/e.
pizzaman1337: look at paragraph 22,
they
talk about how
they "located a number of computer servers, ... associated with
the operation of Silk Road". So,
Tor = owned
dexX7: but.. but.. "it's _designed_ for anonymous
transactions"
mircea_popescu: this would be nice if it didn't use
the exact same verbiage as used
to describe
tor,
the honeypot network.
mircea_popescu: also, bitcoin is "not in itself illegal and is known
to have legitimate uses".
mircea_popescu: o looky,
the feds declare
they made over 100 purchases.
TomServo: or a honeypot used
to correlate sellers?
kakobrekla: that brings up a question, was atlantis a pure scam, did
they get
tipped off or just pussies or something else
mircea_popescu: i guess
this will be confirmation #2 i was right about sr's relative irrelevance :

mircea_popescu: dude, if
they start arresting all
the kids claiming
they're gangsta on
the internets...
zoinky: where do you see
this quote
kakobrekla: "Prices of hash on
the street surges with Silk Road shutting down!"
mircea_popescu: this is where bogus da claims meet bogus crowdthinking expectations. facts are on
the other side of
the river.
pizzaman1337: page 6, "All
told,
the site has generated sales revenue
totaling over 9.5 million Bitcoins and collected comissions from
these sales
totaling over 600,000 Bitcoins"
mircea_popescu: hah! i recall arguing with people in 2012 about how silkroad isn't really all
that big.
jurov: just leafing
through
that, pdf, page 21:
Apocalyptic: like Biggy said, FBI runs all
the
tor nodes
dexX7: "It's a joke because
the government went down yet all of
these agencies are still functioning. It's a stab at our government"
ozbot: Hidden site has been seized image appearing when accessing SR - Is
this a joke? : SilkRoad
kakobrekla: i
think
this is because of govt shutdown
mircea_popescu: and
then pretend as if
this braindamaged mess is due some credit or recognition or something.
mircea_popescu: much in
the style of bitcoin retardation,
they strive
to half implement
the half of a good solution
they understood,
jurov: and, if
they absolutely strive improve over gpg, need
to better protect input/output from copy/paste/encoding mishaps
kakobrekla: everything got downvoted
to
the ground
jurov: or, better,
to be used as seed for electrum,to get a seed for deterministic keys
jurov: prolly needs cryptographer
to decide how best
to conver RSA/DSA privkey
to bitcoin 256bit one
jurov: would be nice
to have GPG-based bitcoin wallet
mircea_popescu: last i looked at it it was still broken, because god forbid
they actually specify anything.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [XBOND] [PAID] 0.69348300 BTC

dexX7: that's why i'm posting
this
mircea_popescu: all he has
to say is "please use our braindamaged reimplementation" ? no mention of anything, just like
that, idiot garzik has invented
the world.
mircea_popescu: mpex has been using
the *superior* gpg signature method for
two years now.

kakobrekla: In either case, kudos
to KnC for getting it done. We'll see how it shapes up here on out. Please keep in mind
that BFL has shipped more ASIC units
than all other vendors combined, several
times over and we are still shipping. Sure
there's lots of
things we could have done better, but it was a learning process and we were
the first
to move in
this direction. It's much easier
to follow
than
to lead, at least you can learn from
the mistakes o
kakobrekla: I said I estimated it would be finished by September. We are close and will probably miss
that estimation by...
TWO WEEKS! Or so...

mod6: anyway, with 2.6
they had
the O(1) scheduler
then
the CFS, so I guess
that works a lot better now.
pankkake: it wasn't available at

jcpham: because
the server is unresponsive
jcpham: what i really enjoy doing is remote support where i have
to

mod6: what a disaster
that was
