☟︎ copypaste: I thought for sure this "company" was only founded to capitalize off some Backpage headlines
copypaste: I didn't think its relevance would continue until now
BingoBoingo: It's only relevant now because its flavor of stupid got loud.
BingoBoingo: But yeah. It likely can't live in its niche at any price.
copypaste: Indeed; it reminds me of BitInstant, and we all knew how that went
copypaste: It's incredible how foolish these people are, unable to learn from history, and founding their Bitcoin "businesses" in USG territory
BingoBoingo: Right. Charlie really hung on his bong for that one.
BingoBoingo: The serious problem is their insistence on touching USG money
copypaste: Indeed, and incorporating in the US, and further making it everyone else's problem that they exist in such poverty that the ability to transfer funds one satoshi at a time is a make-or-break for the business
BingoBoingo: Incorporation seems to be the big dose of poison there.

Quent: as in, any change by a softfork effectively hardforks older clients
BingoBoingo: Quent: They really don't. The test is whether or not node sealed in concrete without admin port needs chiseled out or not
Quent: for example, BingoBoingo, you can softfork bip101 or whatever bip... you can soft fork anything really
Quent: and that's according to gmaxwell...
Quent: I quote gmaxwell "anything can be implemented by a softfork"
Quent: you just make it super complex to jump through a lot of hoops...
ith: And you gave me the same >2LSD code answer last year. Please explain yourself
Quent: but, conceptually as well, if an older node considers the new rules to be just noise the older node is effectively forked off...

ith: And I'm sure you will give the same answer again /next/ year about >2LSD
ith: punkman: you aren't making any sense
Quent: yes, but the network is accepting the new stuff, therefore the network has forked you off
Quent: softforking seems to me to simply be a deceptive way for miners to rule and the network have no say...
ith: "time soft-fork, 1832"
BingoBoingo: But because the "network" accepts new stuff doesn't mean I have to
Quent: like with SW, you can not upgrade all you want, but if everyone else does, and especially if the miners do, then you are forked off if not upgraded

ascii_rear: ty mod6. re: 'jitterbug', could be interesting to wire up some consumer keyboards to a thing that fakes a press for each key and determines time-to-signal-on-the-wire.
ascii_rear: dollars to doughnuts you will find a signal at some point.
assbot: Logged on 05-12-2015 04:20:16; asciilifeform: (afaik publickeyization of stego is an unsolved megapr0bl3m)
ascii_rear: 'It is widely believed that 0.1 seconds is about the limit for the response time for a user to feel that the system is reacting instantaneously [32]. Therefore in practice, the window size will have to be smaller than that. Our own experience with the Keyboard JitterBug shows that 20 ms is a perfectly acceptable window size and this amount of added lag for each keystroke is effectively unnoticeable by the user.'
mircea_popescu: who the fuck sends passwords over the wire one character at a time is beyond the scope of this discussion/
ascii_rear: as in, where you pass terminal input to a process on a remote box
adlai does this routinely, is he even stupider than he thought?
ascii_rear: most sysadmins end up doing this at some point
adlai: rarely, but ssh-over-ssh? all day, every day.
adlai: the inner session is opened from direct access to relay box.
adlai does roughly 2/3 of his #b-abble via irc-over-ssh-over-ssh
mircea_popescu: i dunno who'd use password-based ssh. then again that paper is from a decade ago.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 80800 @ 0.00049706 = 40.1624 BTC [-] {7}
ascii_rear: even keyed ssh often includes a password
ascii_rear: afaik most folks encipher ssh key (for just the same reason as btc hotwallet)
mircea_popescu: afaik most folks copy/paste passwords, but that's besides the point.
adlai has typed a btc hotwallet password into ssh-o-ssh, for canarification
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 23:15:54; mircea_popescu: same reason intel's fundamentally unconcerning : all greedy algorithms are vulnerable to other greedy algorithms. that's what it means.
adlai: totally unrelated, yet... this is why i work on scalpl, and why nobody else cares about scalpl.
mircea_popescu: the only thing that'd be interesting there is discovering a supply chain attack.
mircea_popescu: which... if the chinese aren't doing it already, it's because they're kinda too slow for this world.
ascii_rear: mircea_popescu: i'd expect to find it in chinese iron with american firmware (e.g., apple keyboard)
adlai doesn't understand the glass cannon's purpose
ascii_rear: adlai: a glass cannon is a proverbial weapon that can be used exactly once.
adlai: hm. maybe i do? yeah... i was misinterpreting it as a weapon which reveals its usage. headful of canaries...
ascii_rear: (how many times can you use, e.g., a pill against rsa ?)
ascii_rear: each shot had better net you some serious win
ascii_rear: ergo a 'canary' fueled with 0.5 btc is an exercise in self-delusion
adlai: glass cannons are perfectly reusable if you reinforce the firing station, syncronize your shots with other noise (aka soldiering 101)
ascii_rear: adlai: familiar with ww2 story of the bombing of coventry ?
adlai: hmm. it's not all self-delusion... it means, "this target is worth more than X btc"
adlai: goon with the trigger finger might be greedier than his boss
adlai: see Karl Mark IVce etc
ascii_rear: i thought the whole reason behind adlai getting depressed and taking to dope was that he couldn't get enough coin to properly try scalpel
adlai knows some people who'd kill for $mpexAcct
adlai: they, at least, have not fucked y boxen.
adlai: (also, an exercise in financial mathematics, for the truly alert lurker - how many times larger a bankroll than $mpexRegistrationFee-$mpexReferralFee do you need for registration to be rational?)
adlai gueesstimates 22 mil btc, but has not yet done the math
ascii_rear: adlai: have you read my ancient piece re: mpex ?
adlai: what do i look like, a bunch of text? i have eyes as well.
adlai: don't get me wrong, there is definite noise to be reduced, aka - money to be made. but the question is more "how much money do you need, to earn back the registration fee before your grandchildren die"
adlai repeats, for the less-alert lurkers: my +v is a testament to the fact that money can be made on mpex.
adlai: notice how much mircea hates me... he scratches, he moans, he bleeds! but the thorn - remains.
adlai: maybe i'm just an elaborate plot device, myself...
ascii_rear: iirc mircea_popescu (and damn near everybody) isn't terribly fond of clutter in the logz from depressed folks screaming on the stake
ascii_rear: e.g., i could go on about the kind of things that happen to me at $firm but I DONT
adlai: yeah, that's why they tell me to shut up, and when i'm not too drunk to read, i do.
ascii_rear: mircea_popescu had an article about simple text stego
adlai: yes, the PGP-w mode.but PGP stego only needs to work for ~2 people, whereas btc stego should work for 21M.
ascii_rear: problem with all stego is that it runs exactly counter to standardization
☟︎ adlai is thinking not of the day when you can't get your tx to the chinaman, but rather of the day when he can't return you your receipt
ascii_rear: standardized/public stego scheme is merely a waste of bandwidth.
adlai: sure, that's why it's tongue-in-cheek... so nobody will take it seriously, nor waste time censoring people saying words over social media.
adlai leaves it there. someday if he picks up the meth pipe instead of the tankard, he'll whip together a PoC... or if he found the shot glass instead, he'll find his way to
https://xkcd.com/simplewriter/ and tell people how he thinks they should build the system for passing computer money through the words that are said most often.
adlai: re: snr... i realize it's an Unsolved Problem, and in precisely the same way that "racism works", it makes sense to triage text by the mouth it whenced; but "the opposite of stupid is not wrong"
adlai: anybody making half a bitcent on bitbet knows this.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 35169 @ 0.00049562 = 17.4305 BTC [-] {2}
adlai: ascii_rear: oh wait. remember "reveal themselves as tyrants"? that is the value of a ~public~ btc stegotron, esp. one which flows through 'media'
adlai: does Bitcoin not Exist?
adlai: do would-be tyrants other than USG not lurk in the shadows, waiting to replace them?
adlai: think of a public btc stegotron as a probe for "safe space"
adlai: let's say there's a channel, #bitcoin-words, where blocks are broadcast stegodoodically. freenode lets it live. ditto for the hashtag, and the subreddit... but facebook suddenly closes down accounts that spam such words, even in private groups.
adlai: (one of the oft-repeated defenses of facebook among meatspace 'anarchists' is that they don't censor private groups, because nobody complains)
ascii_rear: they'll be censored because 100MB of crud
adlai: imgur deals with far worse...
adlai: and really, it's only 144MB daily, times the concealment factor
adlai: twitch deals with... how much?
ascii_rear: multiply by whatever the bloat factor of the stego is
adlai: concealment factor = bloat factor
adlai: this is for broadcast. find your miner some other way
adlai: anyway, it's an idea, stupid one at that... i have better ones to defend.
adlai: better theorems to prove :)
ascii_rear: incidentally usg is obsessed with image stego
ascii_rear: a boatload of folk are paid for, more or less, just this
mircea_popescu: <adlai> notice how much mircea hates me... he scratches, he moans, he bleeds! but the thorn - remains. << dude stop being derpy. you're not the only or the first guy to have made or lost money on mpex. it has nothing to do with anything else.
adlai is off to defend precisely this theorem, but not with words on IRC.
mircea_popescu: you happen to be the sort of misfortunate fucktard that grew up among idiots rather than parents, and as a result are way too fixated on experimentally verifying this hierarchy thing and way too fascinated by the female "oh may gawd what if i sell myself short".
mircea_popescu: forget the stupid shit, you're just some nobody that'll soon die, just like everyone else. you have no intrinsic value or importance, just like everyone else. you have no opportunities, you have no chances, there's nothing to manage. go do something useful already.
adlai: how exactly am I shorting myself?
ascii_rear: incidentally does adlai behave like this in the .il army ?
ascii_rear: what happens to a fella who 'experimentally verifies hierarchy' there
mircea_popescu: so much fucking packaging and meta-packaging for, in the end, ~ a hundred pounds of organic turd.
adlai: ascii_rear: you can ask my superiors, who incidentally are all on their way to various CS degrees, and periodically ping me (not meni,and not mircea)with their dumb questions about bitcoin... someday maybe they'll even show up here.
mircea_popescu: well he did get kicked out didn't he ? or what was the story ?
adlai: different hierarchy.
ascii_rear: i don't recall adlai getting drummed out
adlai is not a fan of directed acyclic graphs, where humans are concerned... age has improved his patience, but teen-adlai was really bad at this
adlai: ascii_rear: apparently the MPIA got hold of my diploma
adlai: exactly, there is none (the latter, that is)
adlai blames it on the parents, because that's what mircea_popescu said!
ascii_rear: max planck institute for astronomy ?!!
adlai: freenode academy for crackpot shillery.
mircea_popescu: captive in this "let's go out" "omaigerd i have so many questions and stuff i gotta say about it and and" "nevermind" "WAIT WAIT HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO ME!11" bullshit 16yo females are supposed to have outgrown.
mircea_popescu: seems well structured to my eyes, in this cyclic pattern.
mircea_popescu: guy gotta defend his bower, because totally, we're collecting blue items over here, that's what we're doing.
ascii_rear: i see this mainly among folk who never learned to interact with their environment in a mechanical way, and are stuck playing strictly by talking to people
ascii_rear: but adlai is a literate fella and seemingly oughta know better
mircea_popescu: that's the thing. education is mere power. stupidity is drive. the two have almost nothing in common.
ascii_rear: there is organic stupidity; there is also the exogenous kind
mircea_popescu: anyway, perhaps because i've broken the stupid in too many slavegirls, or perhaps for whatever other reason, but the pattern's obvious to me. guy gets a shot at working on mpex, blows it, out of dedication to protecting a certain identity flaw. has shot at b-a voice, blows it, out of same. will continue to blow everything in same manner for same reason indefinitely.
adlai: there is also miscommunication, exacerbated by the limitations of ascii (give or take a unicode page)
mircea_popescu: yes, there is also miscommunication. like you know, exactly how noise on the channel breaks the jitterbug.
adlai shorted his identity to hell, that's not what he's defending...
ascii_rear: i'm kinda curious what ~is~ adlai defending
adlai: i'd put a youtube link to "ideas are bulletproof", but conjuring assbot is noisier than letting people google/recall for themselves.
ascii_rear: my understanding is that he suffered from general-purpose depression on account of not being mircea_popescu - something that happens to most folks here periodically
ascii_rear: well for a long time he posted interesting lispisms, etc. and then it was suddenly... Vexual
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 19:04:29; asciilifeform: 'every morning, when you wake up, look in the mirror; if you notice that you are not a mircea_popescu,
adlai: perhaps "depression" or "vexual" are not as monochrome as prices on a ticker.
ascii_rear: adlai: shorthand for 'nobody can make sense of wtf this fella is on about'
adlai: (nor "dope", but that really is too long a story, and resides "in another castle")
ascii_rear: i even (be astonished!) talk to vexual.
ascii_rear: if cats could speak, i would speak to cats.
adlai has Come To Expect (tm) that nobody here shares any of the context which he relies upon, and henceforth [tries] to say pure signal, supported by maximal context, devoid of humor... it's less fun but let's give it a try
ascii_rear: idk i like to think that i grasp some of this context
adlai: to trivialize the bulletproof idea which survives[1] long after i'm devoiced, whether by shifting social fashion, failed trades, or failed biology: ((though we might see Bitcoin cease to Exist before any human shows up to defend it))
adlai: Markets -- while -EV for animals, idiots, and the tone-deaf -- are positive-sum for people who play in tune.
ascii_rear: adlai: this is an old idea, among, e.g., poker players
adlai is not talking about 'manipulation', which doesn't exist anyway... that's a fiat fiction
adlai: hmm. honestly, i'm not enough of a poker player to tell (see what i did there?) how this extends to card games.
adlai is talking about markets where people trade one thing for another, and some people try to arbitrage across time or space
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 77304 @ 0.00049595 = 38.3389 BTC [+] {2}
adlai: among fiat finance professionals, voicing this idea invariably results in devoicing.
ascii_rear: well sure. market moves money from 'stupid pockets' to 'smart pockets'
mircea_popescu: this is a common delusion of the young. you will notice, nevertheless, that in general funds underperform.
mircea_popescu: market has its own definition of stupid and it's never socially palatable.
adlai points back to the key word: 'trivialize'
adlai: this is a blog post, dissertation, or life's work... not ten hundred words on irc.
adlai: ascii_rear: please prefix porn with "in other news", i almost didn't click!
adlai: somehow, chix with dix doesn't cut it for me
☟︎ ascii_rear: (the standard among connoisseurs appears to be - keyboard you can break a skull with. but i say you oughta be able to break a DOOR)
adlai: ascii_rear: so, re:poker... my guess is that once i'm more familiar with poker, and know how to Win(tm) at it, i'd analogize "positive-sum poker" to penny stock games pretty much 1:1
ascii_rear: and it shouldn't take more than 1-2 blows
adlai: but i lack experience in both fields to make a stronger statement.
ascii_rear: adlai: there are no 'positive-sum' things on planet3, you gotta burn something (or push somebody out of a sunbeam) to run
adlai: but they're all positive-sum, because "feel like a trader"
adlai: the planet as a whole is positive sum, except for brief instances that give enough of an artistic experience that they're worth more than the sunlight they obscure
adlai wonders what the "SLUT XXX" key does... `!s "other news"` perhaps?

adlai only accepts satoshis (or finished product produced by expenditure of time, cutting out the middleman codeslinger), but apparently there are brokers around
danielpbarron: coppers can be turned into satoshi, although it's not really worth making a transaction over 0.0001 worth
adlai: still, even for people you know personally. isn't computerized interaction too low-dimensional to allow for interesting leakage in a poker game?
☟︎ ben_vulpes: more relevantly to the problem, how would a webpoker designer address collusion?
☟︎ danielpbarron: poker designer just needs to serve up well shuffled cards and move the chips around

adlai is not talking about collusion, but the reason people play poker to begin with: to feel like a poker player (leaving aside the money aspect)
adlai: "most" poker players will lose money, and that's fine. but the few that win it, will have no noobs to fleece, if nobody shows up after a couple games.
danielpbarron: there is plenty of online poker going on, it just isn't in a WoT
