mircea_popescu: all the collars and whatnot.
asciilifeform: dare i to ask why mircea_popescu keeps the tank around
mircea_popescu: wtf is this world coming to. i just vented a few m3 into the biodiversidad
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, in between the tank and the valve, fucking bullshit hecho en mexico nonsense.
asciilifeform: i'm not about to ask mircea_popescu to buy us 500 boxes prior to discovery of pill. ☟︎
asciilifeform: if we can't get somebody other than asciilifeform to stand up as referee, can't really have this contest imho. and a pill that gets immediately patched against by enemy , is of no use.
trinque lacks the machines and spare hands, and yes, ass located square in natoreich
asciilifeform: really ideally somebody outside of usa , so they can't simply break down the door
asciilifeform: any takers ?
phf: asciilifeform: i see, i'm sorry, but i don't think i can properly be called a referee under these conditions. i can do independent testing for you though, i.e. test against current c101pa, and against one that i purchase at a time you indicate.
asciilifeform: after that he can go and collect his $500k or whatever, if he can, from enemy.
asciilifeform: so that i can acquire a supply of curable boxen.
asciilifeform: phf: i fully expect that the winner will want to publish his discovery. hence i would like to give an incentive for him to wait a reasonable time.
asciilifeform: and generally treasurer and instigator oughta be different people. as in the trb foundation.
asciilifeform: phf: i need an arbiter so as to give players some amt of confidence that rules will not change underneath them. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: ty
asciilifeform: it is to be specified that if during $period the machine becomes unavailable in retail, the 2nd half of prize condition is thereby unmet.
phf: yes, but if you are going to establish a procedure why do you need an arbitrator, or in other words, i don't see a point of separate arbitrator if the process is your own ☟︎
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: It's there now
asciilifeform: after $time , phf goes and buys, from amazon, a c101pa , and administers the pill. if it is cured just the same as his current one, the other half of prize is to be awarded. ☟︎
phf: the discussions after that though are all over the place, and introduce some requirements that i don't think i can arbitrate like "didn't leak the code back to google"
a111: Logged on 2018-06-12 19:50 asciilifeform: i'ma brb, teatime
a111: Logged on 2018-06-12 19:44 asciilifeform: for my purposes, a proper break is when i can load in arbitrary firmware in place of the vendor's.
phf: asciilifeform: so i was going by http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823998 to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1824022 where you lay out your requirements for "successful crack", which make sense ☝︎☝︎
trinque: no such automatic reader of address balance is currently in the loop. process by which I confirm deposits is unspecified, varies.
asciilifeform: trinque: there's a pretty good chance that the prize will not be claimed.
trinque: yep, thing works best if there's always a somebody on the other end, of course.
asciilifeform: on 2nd thought possibly bad idea, if contest ends without a winner, what to do about them.
asciilifeform: trinque: idea is, heathens could donate anon ( admittedly tall order, that any want to )
lobbesbot: trinque: Sent 1 minute ago: <asciilifeform> would it be possible to set up a public address that will auto-add to the pot when sent coin to ?
trinque: asciilifeform: just register a nick that represents the pot, have folks !!pay that nick
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: can i get the copyright r ?
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell trinque would it be possible to set up a public address that will auto-add to the pot when sent coin to ?
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 14:54 asciilifeform: aaalso why are there signs warning of buried ~oxygen~ pipes !
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-22#1727646 << oblig timis ☝︎
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: ty for the lol http://qntra.net/2018/06/texas-struggling-to-produce-non-fouling-bunker-fuel/#comment-115867

mircea_popescu: holy shit oxigen line punctured. aite, ima be back in a few, this just became a hazardous environment o.O
asciilifeform: i have nfi if they do it using coolies in romania working for food, or with what else. but there it is.
mircea_popescu: imo it's a way better story if it goes "and then google patched with bated breath WITHIN MINUTES"
asciilifeform: i ain't about to try to get people to swear to eternal secrecy.
asciilifeform: dun have to be whole month.
mircea_popescu: your idea is that "what if i don't have enough time to get to the store after contest is declared" ?
asciilifeform: once they're cured, they're cured.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, and if your model is correct, secret waits a month thereby ? what's in a month ?
mircea_popescu: you'll end up having to pay like 5 btc for the work involved in this arbitering lol.
asciilifeform: it is to be computed as follows : at the end of the elapsed period, i go to a shop and buy a box, and let it vendor-update
mircea_popescu: "shows to signs" is not a computable string for the phf-machine.
asciilifeform: i trust the bounty-motivated folk about as far as i can throw'em.
mircea_popescu changes asciilifeform 's nick to overengineer, inc.
asciilifeform: for the smart arses who want to collect from us and then immediately google's bounty.
asciilifeform: also thinking , half the prize is to be paid immediately on the receipt of a working crack, and other half a month later if google shows no sign of patching.
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine we'll have such a deluge of these the clerical work keeping track is worh the hassle
asciilifeform: phf: you will test using your c101pa. and so you will need the debug snake, i will need to put the output of sysinfo , ver , brd , etc cr50 console commands into the statement. ☟︎
asciilifeform: also worx, but this is easier to keep track of if folx want to donate to the pot etc
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/on-the-internet-nobody-believes-youre-a-sow/ << Trilema - On the internet, nobody believes you're a sow.
asciilifeform: phf: the way i'm thinking of doing it: i'ma write up and sign a statement describing the competition; you will create a special-occasion key, e.g. 'cr50contest', rate it e.g. +1 cr50 , and i will drop a coin into it.
asciilifeform: phf: do you have now with what to referee ? if i start the contest today, and entry is mailed in, can you test ?
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1824041 << if you decide that the effort is worth the while, i'll referee ☝︎
ben_vulpes: actually BingoBoingo try http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Hn5N9/?raw=true instead

mircea_popescu: cnomad the user manual is http://trilema.com/2014/what-the-wot-is-for-how-it-works-and-how-to-use-it/ btw
asciilifeform: the great outdoor world under the sun makes an ok fumehood..
cnomad: motivation for me to finish assembling the fumehood
cnomad: its fine. I'll ping you folks when I'm ready to order some chromebooks and do some imaging
mircea_popescu: cnomad, aite, give it a few mins then, maybe not up to date yet
cnomad: idk deedbat thinks im not registered
cnomad: er, more precisely I'm not going to get to it until sometime next month, so I'd rather accept payment then
mircea_popescu: cnomad, say !!up to deedbot in a pm.
mircea_popescu: !!rate cnomad 1 dood either ran off with my boards or else produced an image of some sort ; we don't know the future yet
cnomad: i don't want money, but thanks
mircea_popescu: principally it'll yield an opportunity for you to be reconized or how shall we put it.
cnomad: it prolly will yield some periphery information about the die, similar families / cells that it uses
cnomad: mircea_popescu: ok. I'm not going to get to it within this month, but i'll ping you back for details to give you a die image
mircea_popescu: so let him get off the girl and get to his computert later.
douchebag: He's not at his computer at the moment
diana_coman: funny how this hw guy can't even do as much as the girls with tits managed
douchebag: My friend says he's going to research it some more. He said he can have a unit by Friday, he thinks it'll be interesting because it probably hasn't had as much attention given to it due to low market share
cnomad: and if you send 2-3 to me, I can image it for you
douchebag: My friend was also wondering who has access to cr50's
cnomad: floating an idea... do you folks have a batch of cr50s around that you might be willing to ship? ☟︎
douchebag: Sry, been jumping between quite a few different things throughout the day
asciilifeform: douchebag: you have some reading to catch up on.
asciilifeform: and forfuckssake yes they're locked. what didja think the thread were about, douchebag ?
asciilifeform: ( unlocking 'rma open' counts as a troo break. )
asciilifeform: douchebag: if you were to read my articles, and past 48 hrs of thread, you would already know this.
douchebag: you can put them in an "rma open" config which will allow some communications functionality
douchebag: My buddy said "although they are mostly factory locked"
mircea_popescu: sure. but here no need for that, we're trying to match the chip.
mircea_popescu: make 100 shots if you have to, just learn how to use the damned sony and get a proper fixed shot
asciilifeform: ( src confirms this )
asciilifeform: i put the spi bootrom in the pic, to make clear the fact that it is connected ~through~ cr50
mircea_popescu: 1mm past the demarcation is plenty
asciilifeform: but will strip down the box again ( gotta pull out mb and heat sinks etc ) and make a bigger, later this wk
mircea_popescu: it's fucking terrible.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, can you publish a very large pic of the chip (and margins) only ?
asciilifeform: it can be replaced with ~50 line thing.
mircea_popescu: could just put a sane kbd driver in there and whatnot. i don;'t even fucking want google's kbd driver, they can shove it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i could find a fpga that sits down pad-for-pad, it becomes a $10 problem.
