asciilifeform: just as every NYT turd is guaranteed to mention 'mtgox, the premier exchange,...' whenever it runs a piece on btc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there was genuine lua in the turd
asciilifeform: anyone remember the multi-MB nsa turd in lua?
asciilifeform: recently saw a winblows trojan turd which loaded some unknown porn vid
asciilifeform: you have turds of a certain number-theoretical variety, that turn into plaintext when subjected to function F. F(turd) = plain. but you don't know F'(plain) = turd.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right. you arrange to have the turd jumped to after sig check.
asciilifeform: re: tx issue: this is reminiscent of microshit's EXE signing. where you can append whatever to the signed turd and it still passes checksum.
asciilifeform: true. the turd i threw in is not 'fundamental invention', unless it is 10 yrs. later.
asciilifeform: i post this turd here, to challenge the 1,000 idlers listening to us, to do so.
asciilifeform: they lifted some turd from my site a while ago, too
asciilifeform: "Bitcoin interests me as an obvious example of a technological jewel tossed around aimlessly by the brutal hands of cave men. I can’t help but picture a flashlight or a radio set, left behind in the wilderness by geologists, to be picked up later by some Stone Age aboriginals; to be fought over and worshiped. Until the batteries run out. But the batteries have not yet run out!" -- old turd of mine
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that'd hardly win you the slimmest turd contest.
asciilifeform: so rsa card would have to somehow cost less than the customary plastic turd, for them to even consider it.
asciilifeform: i changed my mind. we should all love Altcoin. anyone who runs a 7MB turd of unknown provenance deserves the lessons contained therein.
asciilifeform: there is already a hard impossibility proof of turing-complete computation in a homomorphic turd.☟︎
asciilifeform: so fine. i extract the turd and feed it whatever i like
asciilifeform: so let's say you have a homomorphic turd that signs arbitrary giblets with your key (which, for the sake of argument, assume cannot be extracted, as claimed)
asciilifeform: the one starting with the grey chassis is a turd
asciilifeform: libretto is one of two 'netbook' sized machines ever built that isn't a chinese turd
asciilifeform: pankkake: every once in a while, the gentoo dev people push out a turd that auto-breaks everything.
asciilifeform: which 'winners' are optimized for, determines whether you get a turd (known alts) or something interesting ('classic' btc)
asciilifeform: esp. in exchange for the turd that passes for the typical lcd.
asciilifeform: yeah must of us have to make do with reading MB of turd and stoking the killfile.
asciilifeform: the end (for now.) until the new a3983 comes in from hong kong and i can lift the turd off the board and put new one in.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dns server already chugs 10+GB of turd: unix.
asciilifeform: is 'casascius' an organ of 'the foundation'? if not, why does every media turd about bitcoin feature a photo of the coins?
asciilifeform: in fact, bonus points if you use a known turd for an entropy source
asciilifeform: i can't help but wonder if i'm secretly responsible for this turd.
asciilifeform: (shorter yet - 'can't mold a bullet from shit. even if you put rocket fins on the turd.')
asciilifeform: i'd prefer something that isn't a turd.
asciilifeform: a 'from scratch' OS on top of the world's 2nd biggest steaming turd is a bad thing, regardless of how close it can be brought to an approximation of working, through brute sweat.
