mircea_popescu: but yeah,
the best security is having a cheap laptop you don't use for anything else. generate a wallet and some gpg keys.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu what would be
the ideal solution for a lemming storing btc "securely"
mircea_popescu: dood was drooling so hard his wife didn't want
to rent anymore.
mircea_popescu: one of
the
two says "oh, i rent here, but she comes with
the place".
mircea_popescu: some other
time,
two chicks living
together, landlord comes
to do
the same
thing with a young goofy married couple.
nubbins`: although i was
torn, i eventually chose
the response "just us"
nubbins`: i was living in a rental once, and
the landlord was showing some new prospective
tenants around
mircea_popescu: "A lot of holes in
the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in
those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have
the hole already dug before you show up with a package in
the
trunk. Otherwise, you're
talking about a half-hour
to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in
that
time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be
there all fuckin' night."
nubbins`: better hope GPS accuracy is really
tight on
that particular day
mircea_popescu: he's gonna be out
there digging ditches with nicky santoro.
nubbins`: i don't have reliable access
to plastic barrels
nubbins`: while sacrificing nothing in
the way of security, as long as it's done properly
nubbins`: anyway, seems a lot easier
than keeping backups of wallet.dat files in encrypted usb drives in bank vaults
nubbins`: y'know, i'm realizing
that
this isn't a
terribly complicated
topic
to discuss
nubbins`: but let's assume
that one is intelligent enough
to create a passphrase with a very high level of entropy
nubbins`: well, 'Password1' obv isn't going
to cut it
mircea_popescu: if you've never made original contributions
to a scientific field your mind is probably
too banal for
the brain wallet

nubbins`: what's everyone's
thoughts on using brain wallets for cold storage?
nubbins`: convince me
to pay for content
nubbins`: congrats, you've done what
the globe & mail couldn't
ozbot: The anatomy of a disaster pe

nubbins`: seems like
they're sitting on a bunch of mining hardware with very little prospect of roi
mircea_popescu: unless
there was some flaw in it. in case you're wondering btw,
this has happened in
the past
ThickAsThieves: if i were
to get historical data from bitcoincharts.org and it showed it was
true
nubbins`: there's no basis
to say anything
mircea_popescu: i don't follow
that reasoning
too well. but anyway : absent someone with a screenshot of
the proper link,
there's no basis
to contest
the bet.
ThickAsThieves: it includes enough data
to show
that any more added markets would only make it more right
mircea_popescu: your link currently reads for me " Something went
terribly wrong"
ThickAsThieves: mircea_popescu, in case you didnt parse
the conv from earlier
today,
Ukyo: but... "It' has
the wifi's and
the GBs"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves other
than
that i've not yet made a data feed. waiting for a company
to offer
to do
this, and convince me
that it has a market above and beyond assbot.
Ukyo: ThickAsThieves: I have an app for
that.
Ukyo: btw, it appears
the labcoin address has had a deposit of some 3.x btc from slush's pool
Ukyo: mircea_popescu: assbot appears
to sum
trades
together now :)
ThickAsThieves: does MPEX have historical
trade data accessible via API?
Urushiol: i.e what experience does
the management actually have?
ThickAsThieves: the world over is asking
themselves "how can i short mining:
Ukyo: fter selling off at 2x
the price
Ukyo: unless
they are
tryig
to cause
the price
to stay down
to buy back
ThickAsThieves: they probably intended
to use avalon chips or something
Ukyo: so i would behappy
to see it work ot
Duffer1: they posted an "official" address
TaT
zoinky: wasnt one of
the answers
to
their early FAQ
that
they planned
to use IPO funds
to pay
the first dividends?
Duffer1: i don't see how
they can hide
the coins
though, unless
they send what's mined
through a mixer...
then
their stock would crash
to zero if
they
tried
that
ThickAsThieves: if
they cared
to prove anything,
theyd hop on a pool and
take some pics of
their miners
zoinky: i dont
think
they
thought
things out, if
they pay dividends people will follow
the coins and see if
they were really freshly mined
Ukyo: I've made a few posts in
the
threads. I don't see why
they can't list
the address used for mining up
to now unless
they plan
to hide and keep
the coins
Duffer1: Ukyo what'r your
thoughts on labcoin?
Ukyo: thats a little more
than btct's 95,000 30day volume.
benkay: does anyone have experience with
the collateralization of options on btctc?
