mircea_popescu: to quote some guy on some irc channel, "the island where i live had two moose couples introduced. now there's 150k of them"
pankkake: nubbins`: well yes, but the taboo is about sex, not having children
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: it was 4 moose :(
nubbins`: they tried 2 and it didn't work
pankkake: many people should not reproduce too (because bad gene combinations), but society thinks sex is ok
nubbins`: did i mention i made a delicious moose stew yesterday?
nubbins`: so anyway, i was wondering if any of you could recall an occasion where people created a new blockchain for the express purpose of keeping track of share ownership
nubbins`: i.e. company does an ipo, sells 100k shares, creates genesis block showing 100k addresses with 1 satoshi in each
nubbins`: none of this coloured coin stuff, but an actual separate blockchain altogether
nubbins`: with the idea being that each satoshi represents 1 share
kakobrekla: 1 btc would equal to 100000000 shares, you can have it on a single addy
nubbins`: well i suppose 1 address per ipo shareholder makes more sense
nubbins`: sorry, i had all this written down somewhere but lost it
nubbins`: anyway, each new block shows not btc changing hands but shares changing hands
kakobrekla: like its 1 address per bitcoin user except that its not
nubbins`: all the shares that will exist are created at ipo
kakobrekla: if you are luke, nobody has to know you are doing it with others hash power too

nubbins`: TBF that last one was in a foreign country
nubbins`: that vancouversun.com article is actually about a sitting british mp being arrested
mircea_popescu: "Caroline Lucas, Britain’s only Green Party member in Parliament, was led away by police from a sit-in at the gates of a drilling site near the village of Balcombe and put in a police van."
mircea_popescu: sure, if there's a brawl the police will come in and knock people over heads.
nubbins`: "A British lawmaker was among more than two dozen people arrested Monday at a protest against shale gas extraction in southern England."
mircea_popescu: but the only way to arrest a mp is to get permission from the respective parliament
nubbins`: i wonder if this applies to canadia
mircea_popescu: "Members of parliament may be arrested or otherwise deprived of their freedom, or face restrictions thereof, only with the permission of the desk of their assembly. "
nubbins`: i was confusing that with parliamentary privilege

nubbins`: "Freedom from arrest in civil actions is the oldest privilege of the House of Commons, pre‑dating freedom of speech in the United Kingdom.[191] The immunity exists because the House has the pre‑eminent claim to the attendance and service of its Members, free from restraint or intimidation particularly by means of legal arrest in civil process.

mod6: well if they were arrested at some drilling site, maybe they were tresspassing
nubbins`: "Any incident of a criminal nature in which a Member has been charged is not a matter where immunity from arrest will protect that Member."
mod6: It also means that members of Parliament cannot be arrested on civil matters for statements made or acts undertaken as an MP within the grounds of the Palace of Westminster, on the condition that such statements or acts occur as part of a proceeding in Parliament—for example, as a question to the Prime Minister in the House of Commons.
mod6: There is no immunity from arrest on criminal grounds, nor does the civil privilege entirely extend to the devolved administrations in Scotland or Wales.
mod6: show me what a police state looks like
mircea_popescu: maybe my memory is confused and common law never had that priviledge,
nubbins`: ok, it says right here that parliamentary privilege only covers your actions in your capacity as an MP
nubbins`: and, in fact, an MP would have to attend a hearing for a traffic violation
nubbins`: "If Members are charged with infractions of the law, then they must abide by the due process of law just like any other citizen. To do otherwise would be contemptuous of the justice system."
nubbins`: since time immemorial, apparently
nubbins`: "This is in accordance with the principle laid down by the British House of Commons in a conference with the House of Lords in 1641"
nubbins`: you're telling me that in romania, an mp can rent a van and drive it through a crowd of people, killing indiscriminately, and he cannot be arrested?
usagi: Greetings, programs :)
nubbins`: we were just discussing parliamentary privilege, and the limits thereof, in common-law systems of government
usagi: Oh, you mean the entitled class and the working class?
usagi: Or something like say a british minister tying himself to a tree? (read the papers lately anyone?)
nubbins`: more like british minsters tying themselves to trees
nubbins`: or romanian ministers driving vans through crowds of people
usagi: Well from what I can gather there is such a thing called parlimentary priviledge
usagi: Then there is pollitical immunity
nubbins`: however, it only covers MPs acting in their duties as MPs
mike_c: it all makes sense now. mirecea can run a btc equity exchange without getting arrested because he's a MP
usagi: Yeah just like PI, which is why the head of the UN (IIRC) had to step down after being accused of having an affair.

usagi: I'd say no on the open wifi then.
nubbins`: then i was thinking i could set up a tor node on a raspi and run the wifi through that
mod6: think of how dangerous this gets. if you can't run an open wifi channel because of 'terrorists', then you really can't run an encrypted one either as WEP/WPA2 have been broken.

pankkake: mod6: yes. actually France has a thing like that. you are responsible of "securing" your line
nubbins`: never really examined that relation before, in fact
mircea_popescu: arrest is this very peculiar sort of remedy. the mps are the gentry of the land, and the police state doth not get to mess with the gentry. because the gentry owns the government not the other fucking way around.

Lennix1: with the blatant incompetence of Ukyo/Ukto there will be no fight. Ukyo/Ukto will kill himself
Lennix1: well I hope not literally, but at least he will kill bitfunder
Namworld: I doubt it. It's a frontend bug. He doesn't test front-end enough I guess. Nothing keeps front-end from sending bad trades at the trading engine.
dexX7: i think so, or i probably visited when it showed something romanian. though i wasn't that interested at this point to dig deeper.
Namworld: So far, no issues on the trading engine side it seems, ever
Lennix1: and thus bitfunder is great?
Namworld: Ukto puts too much time on the trading engine side and not enough on the front end with user inputs.
mircea_popescu: judging by the fact that this frontend knew the counterparties to trades,
mircea_popescu: it seems improbable there's a frontend/trade engine separation
Namworld: Actually the front-end often shows wrong stuff, trades, etc
Namworld: When the back-end never actually processed
Namworld: My guess is the front end retrieves data from the back-end to display on the page, and send requests to the back-end which process it. The back-ends has lots of checks.
Namworld: Is my understanding of the system.
Namworld: But nothing keeps the front-end from sending incorrect trades that are valid according to back-end's data
mircea_popescu: if i could see the shares of a third party, could i perhaps withdraw for a 3rd party ?
Namworld: Possibly... but changing page restored your own info. The front-end only loaded the other party's info to you after you executed a trade.
Namworld: And apparently made you buy as that other party you're buying from when inputing a buy order
Namworld: Thus maybe why it then returned you and loaded that party info
jborkl_: So the bitbet resolved double yes, other exchanges will shutter by the end of the year
Namworld: Well I guess after a trade, it redirects you back to the asset page and loads info for user which submited the trade.
Namworld: So the input submiting your trade as the user you're buying from... well then that can only possibly let you know that seller's amount of shares and that's it.
Namworld: As changing page loads info for your session, so your own info

Namworld: Now to see how long it lasts. I'm curious
Namworld: Yeah. Well volume is reasonable, but not amazing I guess?
Namworld: Ukto has been bleeding money on lawyers lately, or so I've heard.
Namworld: And he'll fix the thing and refund fees, any mishaps like this costs him in credibility and trading volume.
mircea_popescu: Namworld in the catatonic state it's in it can last indefinitely. icbit.se is still around too.
Namworld: He had trades working back in order in less than 10 minutes from being notified.

Namworld: Bitfinex volume isn't that low. There's like 1 million usd and 2000 BTC loaned out for margin trading right now.

Namworld: Auction assets and do a forced buyback.

Diablo-D3: [02:27:41] <Namworld> Void? What about the holdings? You can't pocket them for yourself.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: no, but the company is free to keep them in the company's pocket.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: dont worry, DMC has not been critically injured in vain.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: and if you're worried about your shares of your asset, you can have them.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: all 106 shares of BTC-MINING are yours.
Diablo-D3: its what you wanted, anyways, and I dont see amazingrando ever being brought to justice
Diablo-D3: Namworld: if you think Im just going to run from the SEC, Im not.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: but DMC was never created merely to make money. It was created for much grander purposes.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: oh, dont get me wrong, it made lots of money, all of which ended up in investor's hands
Diablo-D3: Namworld: but dont say shit like "you're running off with company assets"
Diablo-D3: No, I'm funding a war against those who want to see Bitcoin fail.
dub: DMC: The war against failure
Diablo-D3: pankkake: at least you used that for a joke
Diablo-D3: I mean, where DMC is going, we don't need roads.
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: no, but I tend on pushing the SEC off one
pankkake: don't be mean, Diablo might cry
Namworld: You still can't take DMC's assets
Diablo-D3: DMC is retaining them as per the shareholder contract.
Namworld: No, because you're voiding shares. It's effectively theft.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: no, effectively the SEC has done this.
Namworld: You can't arbitrarily void them. SEC would agree it wasn't done properly. But you can't void past actions.
ThickAsThieves: While I wasn't around for the earlier offenses, it does seem that DMC always manages to find a the worst way to manage its assets
Diablo-D3: No, but shareholders also have no right to the assets as per the contract.
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: not at all. for the majority of DMC's life, its been almost entirely invested in AM
ThickAsThieves: So, tell me, what will this move afford you for DMC's future?
Namworld: No right to assets, but you don't either.
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: the only failures have been Namworld's BTC-MINING and yochdog's BTCMC
Namworld: You can keep it running as it is right now or liquidate and force buyout.
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: and theres virtually no assets lefct
ThickAsThieves: i assume anything other than what youve chose is 'not viable'
Diablo-D3: Namworld helped amazingrando run off with 106 BTC
Diablo-D3: yochdog is in the process of liquidation
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: I dont know either. You dont own any DMC afaik.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: you clearly think the contract says something it doesn't.
ozbot: Reasonable man theory legal definition of Reasonable man theory. Reasonable man theory synonyms by t
dub: <DMC> its like that, and thats the way it is
Namworld: It doesn't need to. If you sell share in a company and then void shares and get away with it all...
Namworld: The no rights to asset clause is merely an indication that we can't directly make a claim on the asset. Not that the manager can take those assets for himself/other endeavours.
Namworld: They remain in DMC and DMC holders are entitled to income/profit. Or in case of activity ceasing, 100% of liquidation value.

Namworld: That's certainly not a proper way to close down.
Namworld: Liquidating and distributing would probably greatly reduce liabilities.
Namworld: Voiding those shares is a silly idea.
ThickAsThieves: particularly if he expects anyone to ever invest in his efforts in the future
Namworld: Well I assume it would have to be non-BTC investors. But good luck pulling it off using stolen assets to jumpstart it.
Diablo-D3: I think ukyo said hes freezing all american assets
Namworld: Diablo-D3, you can't close DMC like that and you know it.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: as per the contract, I actually can.
Namworld: As per the contract, you can't
Namworld: There's no clause allowing you to reallocate assets to other people or void shares.
Namworld: You're killing off any chance you have at DMC 2.0
Diablo-D3: Namworld: assets have not been reallocated.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: nor has DMC been closed.
Namworld: They have. Shares have been voided.
Diablo-D3: Shares of DMC do not make DMC exist.
Diablo-D3: DMC exists independently of shares existing.
Namworld: If DMC doesn't exist, the transfer of funds for that inexisting company sure took place.
Diablo-D3: If DMC doesn't exist, then what are we discussing exactly?
Diablo-D3: Because I'm pretty sure it exists.
ThickAsThieves: without the shares and holdings, DMC arguably does not exist
Namworld: I said "If", which is not the case. Even if DMC wasn't properly registered, the contract exist and is valid.
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: companies that do nothing frequently exist.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: yes, and the contract states shares have no claim to the assets unless the company is closing, thus assets would be liquidated
Namworld: It occured. Your identity is known. There's tracks of the whole ordeal. You're arbitrarily voiding DMC 1.0 shares and taking the assets to start and sell shares in DMC 2.0
Diablo-D3: Namworld: no, no shares in DMC 2.0 will ever exist.
Diablo-D3: that would just be playing into the SEC's game
Diablo-D3: Yes, funding by people who meet SEC accreditation.

Namworld: One complaint about it and good luck managing to get any funding for DMC 2.0 in any sort of legal way. The fact DMC 1.0 shares were sold to non-accredited people doesn't give you any legal basis to void them.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: You can claim what you want.
Diablo-D3: But DMC has no USD denominated assets, nor physical assets.
Diablo-D3: What DMC has is virtual assets paid for using virtual money.
Namworld: Doesn't matter that there's no USD assets. That just means it might be hard/impossible to seize. Not that no wrongdoings would be found.
Diablo-D3: Paid for by people who I believe were in on this scam from the beginning.
Diablo-D3: And then dragged me into it using lies.

Diablo-D3: Same with yochdog, he knew what he was going to do since day one
Diablo-D3: who knows how much money he made off with.

ozbot: BitBet - DMS will still be traded at the end of 2013
Namworld: They did exist. They all do. What you propose is theft, pure and simple.
Diablo-D3: What I propose has already been completed after a year of babysitting it.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: I'll tell you one thing though
Diablo-D3: Namworld: when the SEC asks you to do something, you don't discuss it with others, you just do it.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: and its in your best interest to just do it.
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: the SEC has told a lot of someones to do something.
Namworld: Well the SEC might disagree with you arbitrarily voiding shareholders who sent you funds. SEC wants compliance, they don't say "Well all that occured without us never existed, don't sweat it."
Diablo-D3: Namworld: This discussion is over.
Diablo-D3: The shareholder contract has not been violated, more than 100% of shareholder funds have been returned.
Namworld: To some, while others get nothing?
Namworld: You get away with all the extra DMC 1.0 made?
Namworld: If I'm not mistaken, DMC 1.0 as per contract is entitled to all those profits that were made over initial investment.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: DMC has made no extra, and ends in debt.
ThickAsThieves: I used to trade and hold DMC, then I read trilema articles from back in the day
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: yes, like, mp knows anything about stocks.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: money owed to DMC exceeds what DMC has in "assets" (if you can call them that)
Namworld: Unless DMC "OWES SOMETHING TO SOMEONE", it's not in debt.
Namworld: That's the reverse, some are in debt to DMC, DMC is not in debt.
Diablo-D3: And it took over 2 and a half years to even get that far.
Namworld: Still a profit. Holders are entitled to it.
Diablo-D3: Yes, and holders were paid it, in full.
Namworld: In fact, some weren't repaid at all.
Diablo-D3: Each share represents 0% of the ownership in the company assets. In the event of liquidation, 100% of the revenue from sales of the assets and 100% of the growth fund, minus any expenses incurred from the operation or liquidation of the company will be paid to shareholders.
Diablo-D3: So tell me, Namworld, what does that paragraph say
Namworld: No liquidation occured. So assets remain with DMC and still pay out dividends. Hundreds of ASICMINER left.
ThickAsThieves: it says you will liquidate assets and payout the profit
Diablo-D3: Namworld: notice the line about dividends
Diablo-D3: 1) 50% of all mining revenue will be distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends (henceforth referred to as "dividends"). These dividends will be paid monthly, split evenly among all shares regardless of class or issuing date.
Diablo-D3: There has been no mining revenue... ever.
Namworld: Well then, DMC's assets are stuck in DMC, idling. You still can't repurpose them for DMC 2.0
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3947 @ 0.00083997 = 3.3154 BTC [+] {3}
Diablo-D3: Namworld: I can repurpose them for DMC to remain in DMC.
Namworld: Then you can't void DMC 1.0 holders
Diablo-D3: Nothing in the contract prohibits that.
Namworld: Nothing in the contract allows you to either.
biteesak: this does not seem very honest..
Namworld: Thus you cannot void 1.0 holders arbitrarily.
Diablo-D3: bitesak: what the entire community has done isnt very honest

Diablo-D3: I shall now pay out the final sum total of BTC: 0.
Namworld: So, could you please tell me what those expenses are? Because I know there's ASICMINERs left and liquidating those on the market would cost almost nothing.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: payment to the CEO for doing his job.
Diablo-D3: Which makes me the lowest paid CEO in the history of business.
Namworld: I'd have to say, quite possibly the worst move one could do if they want to start a proper business requiring the funding you're seeking.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: Im not even sure if Im going to.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: making a profit means basically 60% of the money goes to the government
Diablo-D3: unless you're just so large you can get away without paying taxes
Diablo-D3: which I doubt any company in this industry will ever become
Diablo-D3: Namworld: so whats the point of building a company if the rich can just steal it all anyhow
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2628 @ 0.00083919 = 2.2054 BTC [-]
Diablo-D3: Namworld: I just don't see the point of the startup game anymore.
Diablo-D3: The government changes the rules to suit themselves, everyone is out to cheat steal and lie, and a tiny fraction of a percent ever win.
biteesak: so might as well do the same whenever possible
Diablo-D3: Namworld: I'm sorry DMC did not succeed, but thats the way it is.
Namworld: So your answer is to act like the government but against government regulation to open DMC 2.0 as per government regulation??
Diablo-D3: Namworld: like I said, DMC 2.0 may not happen.
Diablo-D3: This whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth.
Namworld: And if DMC 2.0 does not happen, why not close down by liquidating what's left and doing a forced buyback as per contract?
dub: its the libertarian dream
dub: fuck everyone because taxes
Namworld: I know it's been bad. But I haven't taken any salary either for fixing the aftermath as best as I could.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: Because I have decided, thanks to you, that this is the cost of DMC in the end.
Diablo-D3: It doesn't pay to be the nice guy always trying to do the right thing.
Namworld: I'm richer now and trusted. I've made back my losses with amazingrando because people seem to appreciate working with me.
Diablo-D3: So then pay DMC the 106 BTC you owe through BTC-MINING.
Namworld: I can't afford to pay over 1500 BTC.
Namworld: The difference being, in this case, you're admitting to yourself taking the remaining assets.
Namworld: Either keeping for yourself as salary or for DMC 2.0 or whatever.
Namworld: Do as you please, but that's low, compensating yourself like that when shit happen and leaving the others. I hope remaining holders aren't too damaged by that.
Namworld: If you're fed up and just want to take it, no need to feed bullshit arguments that don't hold any credibility.
Diablo-D3: whats the current value of an AM share anyhow?
Namworld: At 1000 AM and 11 DMC to 1 AM trade, there should be a bit over 300 AM or 300 BTC left.
Namworld: With over 3000 DMC left outstanding
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1622 @ 0.00083919 = 1.3612 BTC [-]
Namworld: It's no effort auctioning/selling the remaining assets to highest bidder and paying out liquidation to current shareholders for a closing as per contract.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5225 @ 0.00084096 = 4.394 BTC [+] {2}
Diablo-D3: Namworld: there, I edited the final notice as per your requests.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: how many shares of DMC do you have left?
Namworld: Yes, that's what I was checking.
Diablo-D3: go find out if you can still transfer shares to me while the asset is locked
Namworld: I haven't had a single holder before today which claimed that I owed them something, that made accusations or complained at all.
Namworld: Hmm, let me do a counter proposal...
Namworld: I'll transfer them to you, nothing asked in return, on the condition you liquidate and payout the remaining holders.
Namworld: I want to see DMC's assets be properly liquidated and paid out.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: nope, Ill do it for 11:1 AM.
Diablo-D3: which Im still offering to shareholders.
Namworld: You're still offering it? You said all shares were void if I'm not mistaken.
Namworld: Ah, I see the corrections. Assets will not be repurposed for DMC 2.0 hmm
ozbot: Diablo Mining Company
Diablo-D3: Namworld: but whats left of DMC _will_ resolve its debt to me.
Diablo-D3: yes, unless someone offers something worthwhile for the BTCMC
Namworld: I'd quite prefer a proper liquidation.
Diablo-D3: I seriously doubt anyone will offer anything for BTCMC that even comes close to what is owed or what yochdog claims is left
Namworld: I suppose only AM holds any actual value right now.
Diablo-D3: I think I calculated that if yochdog cant find a buyer for the hardware, its basically worth about 1.5BTC
Namworld: You should probably mention the 11:1 trading prominently however.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: cant mention it any more prominently than it is
Namworld: Well it is more prominent now indeed.

Diablo-D3: I have no clue how long I can offer it though

Namworld: Well if they keep to their word, only purchasing more assets will be halted for US residents.
Namworld: Withdrawing/redeeming shares/etc will be accomodated with as much as possibe.
Namworld: Hopefully it works long enough for things to close down as best as possible.
Diablo-D3: btw, Im wondering what the biggest remaining shareholders will do

kakobrekla: id live with the fact someone can replace it
mircea_popescu: why's your key so great you want to keep it anyway ? i bet you it wasn't gen'd on hardware rngs for instance.
Namworld: So he can keep using it/store it/transfer it to a replacement device
Namworld: Assuming he got an offline backup
mircea_popescu: one problem i see with this directly is that people will keep insecure copies and then go "o noes someone hacked my cardano and stole my key!11"
Namworld: And keep the Cardano while on the move
mircea_popescu: i think the better solution is to use a master and sign a cardano for the move.
kakobrekla: my copy is on paper and on a safe place
Namworld: What if the master cardano breaks?
mircea_popescu: Namworld master doesn't have to be a cardano necessarily.
mircea_popescu: it can be, sure, but if you don't trust it you can just use it as a sub to your main key which you keep traditionally.
Namworld: Well I suppose that could work
kakobrekla: yet you cant use it for mpex if you dont have main key
kakobrekla: no way to have backup to mpex acc then
Namworld: If the cardano breaks, you're out of shares and need to pay for a new account.
mircea_popescu: well yes, using a device of this type for that purpose seems like you're asking for trouble.
mike_c: the cardano should backup the private key to the cloud.
mircea_popescu: anyway, we'll get a better idea as to how reliable the things are after they've been in the wild a year or two. atm all i can say is they should be pretty reliable.
kakobrekla: yeah its a serious device for serious security but its so serious you cant have backups and so its not usable for serious stuff.

mircea_popescu: as best i can see the smartcard is a sort of fun and games project, let's play with smartcards. it doesn't have the critical features such as separation of key from slate.
bitesak: the ability to destroy the key?
pankkake: well, I get the point of the device, but no backup is a dealbreaker for me
FabianB: mircea_popescu: hmm.. but could gpg's smarcard api be used with cardano for signing/encryption instead of copying files?
jurov: asciilifeform: you have not considered adding a display? it's the thing i like about trezor
jurov: so that stuff to be signed can be verified right on the device
pankkake: also how do you communicate with it? you will need some software on the host?
jurov: pankkake: it's in tfa
jurov: mircea and why not?

pankkake: oh I'm dumb. you only need the pubkey for that
pankkake: but yeah, the decryption then…
pankkake: it would have to work in a "streaming" way
pankkake: and I don't think you can do that with a filesystem
pankkake: does the cardana have gigabytes of storage?
mircea_popescu: C) Working slate ROM. This Flash ROM is removable, and may be inspected or replacedx by customers either before deploying the unit or at any point during.
mircea_popescu: o wait. no need to solder, cause nsa made it replaceable.
pankkake: ROM is Read Only Memory right? so I don't get it
mircea_popescu: it's the same thing you find if you crack open any usb stick
jurov: mircea_popescu: really, what happens if i put on it 4GB file to decrypt? where will it put the decrypted file?
mircea_popescu: jurov well hopefully it has a 8gb slate, it puts it right there
jurov: especially if gpg compressed it while encrypting
pankkake: but you will confuse people. Flash memory could be clearer
mircea_popescu: ram is volatile, rom is not volatile. it's what the words mean.
mircea_popescu: if it confuses people it's because people gotta learn what the words mean.
pankkake: anyway, I think an optional, streaming interface would be good

Vexual: 3 letter? didn't read, too long
mircea_popescu: pankkake maybe, but it'd be a diff product. this one separates itself from computer when touching the key,
mircea_popescu: so as to rpotect from a variety of snooping techniques such as diff analysis from the host.
pankkake: it doesn't have to be different - it would simply be another service provided by the device; and would probably provide less attack vectors than the filesystem
pankkake: I mean, it can perfectly provide both
jurov: oh, and have you considered safely erasing decrypted stuff once it is used?
mircea_popescu: jurov the writing scheme is most-used rather than least-used
mircea_popescu: consequently, you can trash the bits yourself by repeatedly copying/deleting a file to it.
pankkake: jurov: there is actually a better way: use a one-time-encryption key for the filesystem. each time you reboot it, it is effectively erased
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 43 @ 0.008989 = 0.3865 BTC [+]
Vexual: call it solid state, it sounds more expensive than rom or flash
jurov: hmmmm... cuz safely erasing today's wear-levelled flash memory is non-trivial endeavor
pankkake: it's less IO expensive than erasing the data (but more CPU expensive as anything written is encrypted)
jurov: or you use something custom?
mircea_popescu: jurov which is why this is optimised the opposite way. it will wear down the bits.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to how commercial flash drioves work (optimised for least wear)
pankkake: doesn't really respond to the "is the decrypted data recoverable"
mircea_popescu: it does. if you are concerned about this point, copy a file repeatedly until the bits die, and so then it won't be.
pankkake: that sucks, and as stated, you have ways to make the concern go away *and* not wear the thing
pankkake: your product is flawed, there are easy ways to fix it and yet… no?
mircea_popescu: the product is fine. you have an issue being somehow convinced you can design stuff while simultaneously not having a clue what rom is.
pankkake: and I'm only getting evasing responses now. pathetic

jurov: then i guess bigger animals than us will start making fun of it
mircea_popescu: jurov there's a lot of sales copy there but i dunno how it's supposed to work/be implemented.
pankkake: "I don't know" is a better answer than "it's fine" when it's not
mircea_popescu: pankkake listen man, sometimes you will confront this situation where your imagination does not meet reality. people will tell you this, you will have to somehow digest it.
mircea_popescu: there's no way around it, and petulence certainly ain't it.
mircea_popescu: the definition of petulence is "i've not done anything to date but i will declare your item "flawed" because i am upset that you don't agree with what i think is the case".
pankkake: again, if your product has no instand erase of its decrypted contents, it loses a great deal of attractivity - telling users they have to shred themselves is far away from the goal of having an easy secure device
mircea_popescu: can you quote where this goal you imagine for me was stated ?
jurov: <mircea_popescu> yeah cause very easy to use, very hard to fuck anything up.
mircea_popescu: hardly a goal. but anyway, let's go throuigh the thing to make sure we're all on the same page, har har.
mircea_popescu: if you have remote control of the connected pc, but no physical control of the stick,
pankkake: and the worst thing is, it's not a big deal to fix. there is no reason to start going all like "it's not a problem"
mircea_popescu: if you have physical control of the stick, you can remove the working slate, but still can't read it, because it has a cypher.
pankkake: you can read the raw filesystem of usb sticks
mircea_popescu: if you are real good and manage to extracrt the cypher out of the chip and decode the working slate, you might be able to read whatever's not been destroyed on the drive.
mircea_popescu: the definitive protection to this is a) don't lose physical control of the stick and b) destroy the slate.
mircea_popescu: this is how the thing is intended to work. there aren't and won't be unrelated cases glued on because people think they're cool.
mircea_popescu: because this isn't a cool thing, this is a useful thing.
pankkake: no, you can simply read the whole filesystem silently, when it is plugged
pankkake: because that's how USB Mass Storage works
pankkake: asciilifeform: wow, so… that what I was proposing!
pankkake: see? don't deny the issue, especially if it is already fixed
mircea_popescu: pankkake : did you read the "At the end of this procedure, the working slate will have been re-formatted, and will appear empty - as Cardano no longer possesses the old block-cipher key." part ?
pankkake: no. I TL;DRed it. but that was no reason to say that my concern was invalid - it was valid, and actually taken care of
Vexual: can i get a 9 pin plug instread of usb? :)
Vexual: yeah im saving up for a new computer
mircea_popescu: and i gave clear orders no futher bets to be accepted!!1 the entire system is breaking down!

pankkake: having the server pulled off isn't the real concern, the real concern is them giving your personal info to the police
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform don't you find that amazon love quite damning ?

mircea_popescu: Arvixe (hosting) Openly and respectfully state that while they dont permit a TOR exit on shared hosting accounts, you are very welcome to run one on a VPS account.
pankkake: hehe, I remember when you could rent "shells" and the number of resident processes was limited
pankkake: for the same price you can probably get a dedicated server now
Vexual: you can kiss those 4 centibits goodbye nubbins
