benkay: "Greg and Connie were born in New Jersey, but from the moment the Internet struck, they might as well have just arrived from Taiwan. When the Internet landed on them, it redistributed the prestige and authority that goes with a general understanding of the ways of the world away from the grown-ups and to the child. The grown-ups now depended on the child to translate for them. Technology had turned them into a family of immigrants."

dub: benkay: like physical skurity? or general bcp
dub: standard cryptotarian carry, ar15 concealed in banjo case
B007: ak-47 + extended mag ftw
BingoBoingo: benkay: Tack hammer on one's belt
chetty: horn-rim glasses and a pocket protector
BingoBoingo: Nah, one doesn't want to appear to be a dorky BTC Jesus. One wants to look like a simple blue collar actual jesus.
benkay: or suits as the case may be.
benkay: probably relatively high-profile from target perspective.
benkay: "oh, dude has btc. let's breach his personal security and get 'em."
benkay: but also it has to be a sustainable, fault-tolerant thing that a person can practice their whole lives.
kakobrekla: basically you need some nut a wrench cant unscrew
benkay: "personal crypto security: basically impossibly hard"
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.58 BTC [-]
benkay: i'm thinking best practices for personal backup and recovery strategy for keys and private contracts and such.
dub: BingoBoingo has it really, don't get caught
dub: no amount of kit will protect you from a determined attacker
asciilifeform: benkay: "personal crypto security: basically impossibly hard" << every time this is said, nsa cafeteria fillets and serves a white tiger kitten (or insert rarer and cuter animal)
benkay: sure sure
B007: benkay: all your bitcoins are belong to me
benkay: no i know asciilifeform, it's in quotes for a reason
benkay: okay i have this gpg key
B007: just store your keys encrypted and offline, hope for the best?
benkay: how do i best ensure i have access to it forever?
dub: benkay: one thing I do is delete or hide any wallets im carrying across borders
benkay: encrypted image with all important keys and files?

benkay: faugh
BingoBoingo: perhaps find a "collectible" surplus or replica for the purpose
chetty: fillup a lot of storage with random stuff, encrypted with different keys, lose it in the mess
benkay: obfuscation
benkay: i'm afraid of becoming an old man and actually losing it in the mess, though.
asciilifeform: none of you seem to be thinking about the obvious
asciilifeform: situation where enemy (willing to torture and kill) knows that you're loaded
asciilifeform: and doesn't know (or care) where you keep the stash
asciilifeform: but has your arse
asciilifeform: and a soldering iron.
chetty: cyanide
asciilifeform: for some reason i thought that is what this line of thought was about.
benkay: more along the lines of list of things to do that will reduce attack surface area
benkay: maximize key durability
benkay: and access
asciilifeform: next lower class of attack: enemy willing to steal every single one of your identifiable possessions
benkay: right. they got the backups.
benkay: so the only thing to do is an encrypted drive with a memorized dicelist.
asciilifeform: the only real defence is: obscurity
chetty: #1 - don't be a target, #2 - don't be an easy target
benkay: #3 make it hard to parse the possibility space, #4 have rock solid encryption as a last barrier?
benkay: am i retarded or is this problem hard?
benkay: is there a checklist for the professional keyholder i've failed to find?
asciilifeform: wtf is a professional keyholder
benkay: i have a wot key
benkay: it is the sum of my identity 25 years from now
benkay: my whole business is tied up in this thing
benkay: i lose it, i lose everything
benkay: i'm interested in best practices for this sort of scenario.
asciilifeform: encrypt, using a process known only to you, and inject in the blockchain.
asciilifeform: (if you are not willing to pay what this costs, the payload cannot be important)
benkay: yeah, i'll buy that.
chetty: in the end a key based id is no different than the various numbers and stuff we use now, how do you protect those?
asciilifeform: 'pay' in the sense that stuffing bits in the blockchain costs.
benkay: what is the going rate per kb?
asciilifeform: benkay: depends on the actual mechanism used.
asciilifeform: under no circumstances should you tell us - or anyone else - which.
benkay: ah, right.
asciilifeform: programmatically pissing out transactions is trivial, use your imagination.

Neil: I pointed out the >>= bug about 1 year ago. I got laughed at on the forums.

nubbins`: heh.
Neil: But a bug it is; the code wouldn't pass muster in GCC which I used to maintain.
Neil: The problem is most coders don't know the language they're writing, nor do they care. Hence the crap we deal with. We need more Dan Bernsteins and Matt Dillons.
Neil: (though DJBs language conformance was pretty shit too)

Neil: NSA doesn't have to try too hard.
Neil: When I release my bitcoin implementation, it may suck in many ways, but it won't have things like that in it.
nubbins`: twist: nsa foresaw digital currency and created bitcoin codebase so that a flawed implementation would ruin people on the idea
Neil: I guess I can celebrate understanding sthg mircea doesn't / didn't 24 hrs ago. There is no problem with the compilers; whatever they do is good; it's all in the language spec and doing something with no defined semantics.
ThickAsThieves: indeed, it also reminds me of the quantum mining guys somehow arguing that soliciting investors to create it would make them rich in bitcoins, while out the other side of their mouth saying that quantum invulnerable wallets can be made afterward

joecool: posting this so nobody loses sleep
joecool: <MagicalTux> [07:10:14] <joecool> MagicalTux: kalyhost going to continue operations? <- that's the plan
mircea_popescu: "Does Deutsche Bank use php? Does HSBC use fucking MYSQL??? Do any of those banks comment out lines in production code for debugging?!?!?!?"
mircea_popescu: i suspek forum noobs would be mighty surprised.
decimation: I would be shocked if they didn't
joecool: probably all asp, the pinnacle of security
wao-ender: no, fortran!
mircea_popescu: joecool anyone use them other than forum ?
mike_c: bank software is probably terrible. i highly doubt they have good programmers.
mircea_popescu: anyway, commented out lines in production software are more common than web designers.
joecool: mike_c: windows server 2003 is stable ok?
mircea_popescu: heck, linux kernel has commented out lines
mircea_popescu: (or at least had, i'm not really following)
joecool: mircea_popescu: still does, i need to see how many uses of "fuck" they still have in source
mike_c: commented out lines are pretty bad (or at least a pet peeve). that's what source control is for.
joecool: used to have a tracker for that
decimation: what's wrong with commenting out lines of code? they are crumbs for students
mike_c: what's wrong is they make the code less readable, thereby making it harder for the 2nd programmer who has to touch the code.
joecool: mostly scheduler stuff, because nobody can make up mind how how to schedule tasks for 64k cpu's vs. a typical desktop
kakobrekla: i dont think forum is still on kalyhost
mircea_popescu: joecool > 42
kakobrekla: joecool well, he thought and say same for gox.
joecool: kakobrekla: well its ok though, MT says kalyhost is staying in operation
joecool: we have to believe him
mircea_popescu: mike_c pet or nonpet, fact.
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: who cares about source code
Bugpowder: 20GB of user docs leacked
kakobrekla: am i the only one so retarded to read the footer of the forum
kakobrekla: >Sponsored by Private Internet Access, a Bitcoin-accepting VPN.
mircea_popescu: a ok
mircea_popescu: wait vpn ?
mircea_popescu: forum is on virtual hosting ?
kakobrekla: vpn is not vps
mircea_popescu: i guess that's kind-of impressing actually.
mircea_popescu: o
kakobrekla: but afaik they host them
mircea_popescu: yeah my blind.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder this is re the very concerning leak at mtgox,
mircea_popescu: in that ~20gb worth of idiots' passport scans are now in the wild.
Bugpowder: yeah.... GOD DAMN IT
mircea_popescu: these are EXTREMELY vulnerable people, because most of them have either forced their bank to accept "weird" txs
mircea_popescu: or even signed ok's for "weird" txs.

mircea_popescu: a ok
Bugpowder: he didn't hack it
Bugpowder: they may release a torrent
Bugpowder: they say no personal info released of users
Bugpowder: they won't release personal info
Bugpowder: (probably they will sell that instead of leak it :(
Bugpowder: That motherfuckering tool.
mircea_popescu: derp.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder ya well who toldja to use gox.
Bugpowder: You said OTC
TATrilllaInTehMi: I think u gotta take 'ends up' as 'when this bet closes'
Bugpowder: little did I expect OTC to be the SAFE routh
Bugpowder: route
mircea_popescu: yeah well.
decimation: well, at the very least with OTC damage is limited and healing
mircea_popescu: ^
Bugpowder: The user data all stored in mySQL
mircea_popescu: this is what strategic soundness is
Bugpowder: Dude was more concerned with putting a frappachino cafe in his own fucking building than using svn.
mircea_popescu: course, it IS possible the leaked thing is not actually their code.

kakobrekla: mp everyone else agrees.
kakobrekla: that has to be THE merit.

ozbot: BitBet Stole ~$7,000 from me (10 BTC)
mircea_popescu: i dunno, to me this entire shit looks like a transparent attempt of the quoted site to made 10 btc or w/e.
mircea_popescu: the entire auroracoin thing looks like it cost less than what the bet would bring in.
BingoBoingo: So verdict is "Yes" everyone gets beta access to Gox 2 Electric Bugabear
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4600 @ 0.00085703 = 3.9423 BTC [-] {2}
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, anyone got a link to any place auroracoin thing is actually traded ?
ThickAsThieves: add to the FAQ: In a circumstance where an accepted bet is determined to have unreliable determining factors, BitBet shall choose factors as best it can, or refund all bets at its own discretion.
BingoBoingo: Refund everybody minus fee? "Poorly spec's BitBEt Med getting whipped"
ThickAsThieves: www.cryptsy.com
ThickAsThieves: https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/160
ozbot: Cryptsy - AUR/BTC Market
mircea_popescu: eh get the fuck out, cryptsy never saw 1k btc in its entire existence
ThickAsThieves: surely it has
ThickAsThieves: but i still agree
ThickAsThieves: this is way fishy
ThickAsThieves: and a scam
BingoBoingo: It is a lesson in forcing better specs
ThickAsThieves: should probably just refund everyone
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i can't ok this. i mean i couldn't care less either way, it's bettors' btc on either side of the bet.
ThickAsThieves: i have a bet in there
mircea_popescu: but for the love of the sanctity of marriage...
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i can't fucking push it either, it's a legitimate contention.
BingoBoingo: I mean scamcoin tricks suggest forcing people to either spec better signals or kill MPOE bot
kakobrekla: firstly, how will you handle 'ends up' ?
kakobrekla: was there an answer to this
ThickAsThieves: if it's legitimate it was from day 1
ThickAsThieves: Yes
ThickAsThieves: i think 'ends up' is important to define
kakobrekla: secondly, it doesnt specify if it has to be minable/premined or to which extent that can be
BingoBoingo: This might be a good time to suggest a BitBet, "Bitbet to not accept further Altcoin Marketcap bets in 2014"
ThickAsThieves: 'ends' has a menaing after all
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla nope
ThickAsThieves: precedent at bitbet is to say 'above x rate at any time, or by a specific time' etc
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well it specifies "coin"
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 806 @ 0.00480085 = 3.8695 BTC [-] {3}
ThickAsThieves: it specifies 'altcoin'
mircea_popescu: aite.
ThickAsThieves: in the headline at least
mircea_popescu: most fucked up bet of 2013 award
ThickAsThieves: hmm
ThickAsThieves: where is AUR blockchain viewable?
mircea_popescu: the sad irony of it all beinbg that i hazily recall mod asking me if i see a problem and me saying no.
ThickAsThieves: can coins in circulation be confirmed?
mircea_popescu: i guess i was right... it's not that there's A problem.
BingoBoingo: Nah, most fucked up might get litigated around 12 UTC
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i guess if someone can be bothered to install their wallet.
ThickAsThieves: i'm not icelandic
ThickAsThieves: :)
mircea_popescu: maybe we should just crash it.
BingoBoingo: x-bt doesn't trade it though
mircea_popescu: "bitbet resolves dubious bet by crashing dubious altscam into the ground"
ThickAsThieves: what websites has bitbet allowed as proof in the past?
ThickAsThieves: btc-e
ThickAsThieves: any others?
