asciilifeform: inca fears p2p radio like the proverbial vampire -- crucifix. i'm actually surprised somewhat, that 'ricochet' was even permitted to be built as it were

asciilifeform: i dun know specifically why 'musted die', but in general usg favours the old telecom monopolies; plus prolly didn't help that 'ricochet' did not build gps into the modems and made it possible to pass packets directly over the mesh, i.e. 'potentially terrorist' net

asciilifeform: ( 'ricochet' cost pennies to the dollar of gsm, at the time, for packetism )

a111: Logged on 2014-02-19 04:25 asciilifeform: they still respond to signals! i once bought a ricochet modem just to determine this.

a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 20:05 mircea_popescu: the only extra hole in my hide i acquired through ricochet under car, nearly lost a knee.

mircea_popescu: but anyway : the "wounded man ties up 3 soldiers", other than the baked in presumptions that these are the caring kind of soldiers and the inept kind of wounded, also neglects to mention that ricochet has killed more peopl;e than direct fire since the invention of gunpowder. and by a factor of 10 to 100, not piddly.

sina: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-10#1668370 <<< mircea_popescu I couldn't help but laugh at someone who is saying everyone should fork ricochet.im and work on it instead, or use OTR or whatever then blurt out that some just-barely-specified software isn't resistant to SIGINT attacks on your keyboard ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'Ricochet uses the Tor network to reach your contacts without relying on messaging servers. It creates a hidden service, which is used to rendezvous with your contacts without revealing your location or IP address.'

asciilifeform: ( to asciilifeform , 'ricochet' is still that ancient modem thing )

mircea_popescu: no ricochet:w3crim4z7vd4yskd on your page ?

mircea_popescu: chick has a skype, AND a tox thing (it's in the logs) AND a "ricochet" item which i never saw before but seems to make some tall claims.

mircea_popescu: the very energetic rounds just ricochet.

mircea_popescu: where's the "i'd like to not have a wall a foot behind me to reflect all napalm and ricochet on my head"

mircea_popescu: so the idea that the very much "machine gun fired by bozo" line on the bottom is... ricochet ? or wtf ?

mircea_popescu: what is this, ricochet thinking with very angry people ?

mircea_popescu: i'm a coffee coneisseur by ricochet.

maqp: (IMO you should be spending your efforts on Ricochet or fork it.)

maqp: The current version has 72 hex char key you have to manually type to transmitter device; it's similar to manually typing Ricochet/Tox ID

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, this guy did his research. slugs better : ricochet.

mircea_popescu: (also, the proposed device does not actually work. the female ass is exactly antithetical to the steel ball. negative ricochet factor. fortunately.)

asciilifeform: (ricochet modems could connect with one another without repeater, and i briefly searched if classical 'radiomodem' is still sold by anyone)

asciilifeform: phun phact: ricochet was non-exportable on account of fairly respectable crypto.

asciilifeform was, for a while anyway, the owner of a ricochet repeater which 'fell off a pole'

decimation: asciilifeform: I've seen something similar to old 'ricochet' network: wireless meter reading nodes

asciilifeform: i will also add that we have an even odder curiosity here. an ancient, possibly first-of-its-kind wireless net called 'ricochet'

mircea_popescu: ascii_field you on the other hand have to appreciate the ricochet benefit.

mircea_popescu: that world doesn't exist, most soldiers die of ricochet.

mircea_popescu: i suppose in an extremely rare case a shot could ricochet of a rib or something, but srsly nao.

asciilifeform: ricochet was a classic example of a co. with a real, useful product, killed by gross mismanagement

asciilifeform: they still respond to signals! i once bought a ricochet modem just to determine this. ☟︎

decimation: there are still Ricochet boxes that dot the countryside in the US
