ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 09:40:42 mp_en_viaje: what value does it generate ? is it a good deal for
nsa, to trade half a
bitcoin for a coupla used dc machines, even leaving aside how these eminently constitute what asciilifeform knows to be called "surplus", through the process he oft described in logs of buying stuff for pennies ?

mircea_popescu: ima pay s.
nsa a coupla
bitcoin for your trouble, and donate the result to the republic, in lieu of donating moar money to the dead end foundation.
mircea_popescu: for instance : usg released a convicted felon / ndrngheta man (sony vleisides) for the purpose of pulling a "we build asic miners" scam in
bitcoin to buy
nsa enough time to make some themselves.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: To be fair about lack of
Bitcoin, this is CIA rapidly reinventing own "
NSA"
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : jonathan pollard, a guy who stole and sold (to israle, and to others) all sorts of holies of the usg (including the
nsa's utterly ridiculous 5k page manual on "how to conduct signals intelligence" - no part of which is actually useful in practice much like satoshi's
bitcoin miner code is not used by any actual
bitcoin miners) was released in 2015 (with much gnashing of teeth, because back whgen he was conv
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-12#1501981 << the power of shitcoins : much like
bitcoin makes everyone a bitcoiner, be they usg.
nsa or whatever else, just so scamcoin makes everyone a scammer. they may start as "white hat" or "robin hood" or whatever, but in the end the dark nature of the item compels them.
☝︎ thestringpuller: Instead of the
Bitcoin computer. S.
NSA can make the TMSR Computer.
mircea_popescu: no, looky. if the case is that the knowledge vessel was a jwz, which is to say all juice no politics, then the truthful rendition of the situation is, that the knowledge in question was removed from its unstable situation, to a more sensible one. otherwise, if the vessel in question is a balanced construction, the attempts to "remove" run into the age old "
nsa can't hold
bitcoin and stay
nsa" issue as discussed in the logs.
danielpbarron: maybe the 17 btc should be donated to bbet by s.
nsa? If indeed the whole point was to make a point about the brokenness of
bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: trilema can get away with one because trilema is indexed so well by google for
nsa purposes. finding clever things pete_dushenski wrote when I was recapping 2015 in
Bitcoin was very different. Very painful.
mircea_popescu: see ascii_field ye olde "
bitcoin perverts
nsa" thing ? cuts both ways. finding oneself in the sort of situation the usg finds itself ALSO perverts.
mircea_popescu: anyway, incorporated here by reference, the discussion where i showed you how holding
bitcoin destroys
nsa.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1158998 << mircea_popescu is posting through a temporal modem from 1870s ? because 'spoils system' in usg civil service is long, long gone. nobody at
nsa, usually not even the director (they don't stick around long anyway) worries about which party is in the white house.
mike_c: the

nsa school of thought? or is it already obvious to aficionados
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i don't own any
bitcoin assets, incidentally. << you're on the public record owning a majority of s.
nsa lol.
PeterL: asciilifeform: i don't own any
bitcoin assets, incidentally. << what? I thought you were co-founder of S.
NSA, you don't own any of it?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform atm im trying to discern whether the recent "secp256k1" talk is simply the defeated
nsa trying to find a better reason to fork
bitcoin, or these derps actualy have something.

Bitcoin Suspected to Be
NSA or CIA Project// just from the title thats silly, they dont get along <<< congratulations, you've just run into the "cover your bases" online phenomenon. it goes like this : twerp with nothing to say has to spin out 5k words to get his half cent a word to pay for his ramen. and twerp has taken logic 101 (or else, mysql inject 101) and thus knows what OR does!

hdbuck: benkay : well, some argue that the more the blochain size increase, the less people would actually download it to use bitcoins. other also argue that it would give more power to supernodes, centralising
bitcoin, which was something that
bitcoin was suppose to oppose. or is it just the
NSA and co that will run
Bitcoin once it get too big? ^^
davout: "I'm running for the Texas State Legislature. I support LGBT rights, pot, and net-neutrality and oppose the
NSA and TSA. I also happen to be a long-time
Bitcoin enthusiast. I'd love your support."
minersdidit: Deliberately and quite maliciously tried to meld the BleedingHeart openssl vulnerability into the
Bitcoin code. The move seemed bizarre at the timei, seeing how there was exactly zero need and pretty much epsilon benefit of implementing such kludge, and given that everyone with a clue involved pretty much agreed PKI is broken beyond repair anyway. To properly understand the implications of this :
NSA has had, for two years

☟︎ nubbins`: twist:
nsa foresaw digital currency and created
bitcoin codebase so that a flawed implementation would ruin people on the idea
mircea_popescu: "There was also a pretty dogged pitch for his startup, which will get all kinds of warm huzzahs from the intersection of MRAs,
Bitcoin fans,
NSA critics and Redditors. I was pretty amazed that he went for it. He flat out said that he wants his startup to be funded and wasn't sure if it'd be possible after all of his, and I replied that it realistically wasn't going to happen without the say-so of someone like me, and I
mircea_popescu:
bitcoin, even should it have made by
nsa, has actually taken it over.

mircea_popescu: well,
nsa can in principle be bought out, like any
bitcoin company.
the20year: If the
NSA is truly all encompassing, then they have every single IP and mac address that a
bitcoin could flow through, and a nearly infinite amount of laundering won't fix that
