asciilifeform: (don't bother writing to herr fravia re: stego or his famous cracking tutorials. he's dead.)
asciilifeform: stego that doesn't 'scream stego' is a whole art.
asciilifeform: can't say that i personally tested.
asciilifeform: 'sheikh khalid goatfuckeiman encodes instructions for mujaheddeen in his sheep porn gifs.' - 'unfortunately, he doesn't. sometimes a sheep is only a sheep.' - 'let's see what we can do.'
asciilifeform: (and 'sawing apart' the public purse isn't the only such)
mircea_popescu: aren't these a bitch to properly discharge, have to handle the tube as itlaunches ?
asciilifeform: yeah, ir sensor doesn't care who the tailpipe it flies into belongs to.
mircea_popescu: wasn't it a 3 month training course to be cleared with those ?
asciilifeform: the 'a) wanna buy strela? b) fuck off c) really, dontcha? b) ok sure c) off to jail' thing has been going so long that it doesn't even make national news every time now. ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think strategically. 1. "you didn't know we knew, did you ? fail" vs 2. "you didn't know we knew, did you ? OR that a website was all ready to go. just how fucking inept are you, can't find a website, srsly ?"
asciilifeform: the purpose of 'hearbleed' et al isn't traffic intercept. (why intercept when you have root on the 'cloud' crapfarms?)
mircea_popescu: the problem with the shadow fuhrer is that he couldn't conceivably find a reason to be bothered with actual holes.
mircea_popescu: you know this completely blows me away. there's like... 2 assets on hl that didn't lose most of the investor's money, and the total investment in them was... bitcents ?
mircea_popescu: "Amazing: @Chase just cancelled my debit card because a merchant may or may not have been hacked. They didn't call. Won't tell me who."
bounce: pfft. and there I was, wanting to rate 3.1415927. can't doo that. boo!
mircea_popescu: first off, you don't need fractions, you could just as well increase the max for same effect
jurov: you can't have fractional trust or distrust
assbot: mircea_popescu, you can't do that to jurov.
mircea_popescu: !t h hif

benkay: can't say as i have any intention of taking style cues from linkbait article titles.
fluffypony: benkay: didn't El Reg call mircea_popescu the Bitcoin Baron?
benkay: so i don't like crypto + aristocrat > cryptocrat
bounce: though shouldn't be too heavy on the SMD stuff. ie, reasonably repairable.
asciilifeform: benkay: doesn't seem to work for priv msgs.
asciilifeform: <robwizz22> the shelf usb storage to store a private key and pass phrase). You are lying about its benefits. You've come up with something absolutely and utterly useless. If it's a scam, good job. I like how you spread FUD about me trying to "introduce heartbleed" (which doesn't make any sense - the Cardano is a USB device) when I pointed this out. You obviously are smart enough to know that is a simple a
mircea_popescu: denny didn't have the right ceocut.
mircea_popescu: it's like "please don't kick us out of here, we know we don't belong, can this count as a getoutof kicking ?"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves except check this shit out : "clearly this shit works but it's a coincidence because i don't think it should or see why it would"
mircea_popescu: benkay so apparently you hang out with peopple who believe whatevert they don't understand doesn't really exist
Azelphur: I haven't bothered to talk much here any more since having to auth up and stuff, especially with the freenode splits recently
mircea_popescu: if you're good enough to actually get forum mentions the effect in question is comparatively weak. if you're weak and rely on trying to spam forums it won't likely get you anything anyway. at least in a high level survey sort of mindset. no denying that derping on the internet could turn your 100 bux and 110 hours a week into 1k or w/e, just... who cares about that.
mircea_popescu: dignork the reason you don't remember it is precisely that it had bitcoin in it and your brain spaces it out. i don't remember all the coin* shit either.
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't see you it logs yu out
pankkake: no, I don't know the first thing about it. my first step would be learn how to store it so that it lasts
bounce isn't too sure python doesn't secretly suck either. then again, might be I'm reading too many naggum links.
bounce: sure. mutt doesn't use gpgme either, IIRC
assbot: - don't use of 'afk' or 'away' on the chan or your nick, it's spammy
assbot: - don't spam too much, it's spammy
mircea_popescu: gpgme isn't bad, there's also a gpgagent thing that seems solid
bounce: interfacing gpg is clunky to the point there's a library to make it easier, gpgme (haven't checked how much it helps, to me it's just another annoying dependency), though some programs just run the commands and look at the answer strings
ThickAsThieves: can't win."
Anduck: he doesn't do bots.
assbot: I don't do bots, Anduck.
Anduck: i thought it was because i wasn't authed
TestingUnoDosTre: can't rate myself, what kind of sham is this!?
TestingUnoDosTre: wwhy did assbot say I wasn't authenticated?
cgcardona_: TestingUnoDosTre: so does that mean you don't have to reauth everytime you come into the room?
cgcardona_: "they will jump through all sorts of rationalizations as to why their burn was a good idea." - couldn't you say the same thing about most people who have a vested interest in something succeeding?
cgcardona_: i didn't realize that's what the concept was actually called (reading https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=395761.0)
fluffypony: but I don't pay per song
benkay: "you don't even need to know anything!"
fluffypony: like you're just going to start this auto-blogging thing and it'll go and you won't need to touch it and the funds will just flow in
cgcardona_: i personally agree with you. but I don't think I can speak for "anyone controlling significant numbers of btc"
benkay: besides, it's a garbage example. anyone controlling significant numbers of btc won't be burning significant numbers of them. maybe the odd equivalent of a buttcoin to see some derps flail with their piggyback chains, but not a significant number.
fluffypony: I also don't see what's wrong (fundamentally) with an exchange being a central point of issuance/authority/failure, as long as it's not built and run like mtgox or litecoininvest or whatever
fluffypony: benkay: I actually don't understand the point of this at all
fluffypony: I don't think you can burn now
TestingUnoDosTre: no, i mean joining the wot or whatever so I don't have to get voiced up ery 30 minutes
TestingUnoDosTre: anyone know where the instructions are for this gpg key verification ? can't find in the log
benkay: bitcoin isn't strong enough to enforce alloidal title.
cgcardona_: it looks like cryptsy hasn't broadcast them yet. cause I created new addresses for each withdraw/coin and I'm not seeing those addresses show up on any blockchains yet
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: what we do with farm animals isn't exactly optimal
fluffypony: I don't play games often, but damn the Civilization: Beyond Earth trailer makes me want to play again
asciilifeform: but, fossil-fueled phones aren't 'sexy', or 'green', whatever.
Apocalyptic: I can't even load http://atc.blockr.io/
jurov: i don't write very often on the blog. but it's good to have.
mircea_popescu: inconfutable isn't english. irrefutable or incontrovertible.
mircea_popescu: basically the list of mining companies that don't also turn scams is vanishingly slow.
cedivad: they haven't delivered shit during the last month or two; they are mining themselves probably
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
fluffypony: and every joke you make she keeps a deadpan face and says "that isn't funny"
jurov: yea, and it strives to avoid evil ASICs but as presumably they can't think of one, it will start with a placeholder one
mircea_popescu: jurov you shouldn't have voice anyway because not enough sleep!
jurov: yet i don't see a good nethod to verify gas expended without redoing whoiole computation
bounce: but! aristocracy! can't make things too easy, don't you know.
moiety: dont wantto miss something at 7:35 // ahh kk why didn't you sleep?
asciilifeform: next comes the 'network disk', where the buggers don't need to settle for small change (ssl diddling, etc.)
mircea_popescu: it's more expensive, so you actually don't want to run a clean system.
mircea_popescu: if they can't, they'll just supoena you.
asciilifeform: (tldr - the pwned didn't give a damn yesterday, and they still don't today)
mircea_popescu: wasn't manson going around kissing people's feet ?
mircea_popescu: well, they didn't exist in brabant as such, nor in northern italy, nor in england
mike_c: I just hate BI. such trash. can't decide if they're worse than gawker, but it's a close race to the bottom of the toilet bowl.
mircea_popescu: what happened to "we don't negotiate to terrorists" ?
asciilifeform: i don't begrudge these people their weirdlangs
asciilifeform: i still can't figure out why google had to reimplement 'D'
Azelphur: would have done it if I didn't like my freedom so much :p
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: nah, remember you wanted me to open a brokerage, and I did a lot of code, but didn't release it because of the whole going to jail thing.
Azelphur: oh, I wasn't aware of the new channel settings
mircea_popescu: artifexd course, you could say that to him rather than to me. he doesn't know it, i do.
artifexd: @jy-p> it's a nice little bullshit trick that is used by people who don't get their work done
artifexd: So... gmaxwell is harassing the conformal guys about how they developed btcd. It comes across as so... I don't know... petty.
moiety: trainspotting is not a favourite of mine, ican't deny its done well though. I much prefer Shallow Grave
bounce: I know about trainspotting. just haven't actually seen all of it.
moiety: bounce: it's a Danny Boyle film written by Irvine Welsh http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/ hope you don't need subtitles XD
mircea_popescu: "Very difficult. That's very difficult, do you understand? It's difficult because you're selling to a particular group. Fat cats. Big shots. Guys who can afford $200k. And guys who can use a whole fucking suitcase full of cocaine. Basically, Clarence, guys I don't know. And guys you don't know. And more importantly, they don't know you."
moiety: http://youtu.be/_O6bWb7oEuE?t=40s this bit even
moiety: http://youtu.be/_O6bWb7oEuE?t=45s sorry took me a while to find it
