asciilifeform: !up RagnarDanneskjol
asciilifeform wrestles with dilemma of whether he should open up his 90 or so percent implementation of mircea_popescu's RFP
asciilifeform will then end up stuck with doing actual werk
asciilifeform fesses up that he worked on it, on and off, for some months, so as to have a 'killerapp' application for cardano when the latter is unwrapped
RagnarDanneskjol: was just telling ASCII that I understand nano is on vacay for a few days, also altgribble is avail for bcauth but not gpg ☟︎
asciilifeform: altgribble ?
kakobrekla: "sir, we are out of potato, but we can offer some fresh shit. its on the house."

BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: You are quoted again for who knows how many words this time.
kakobrekla: aha :)
kakobrekla: qntra down ?
BingoBoingo: Looks like it.
kakobrekla: i suspekt ddos is back on chan as well
ben_vulpes: all-channel attack, huh?
BingoBoingo: Well, at least I published the thing so it will be visible eventually.
kakobrekla: ddos on chan confirmed :)
BingoBoingo: Fuck it IRC is too advanced to be safe. We need to do baudot over ULF. 10 MW minimum to get voice.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo will enjoy my comment on trilema then (when that site is back...)
mircea_popescu: eh what, again ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: your site appears to be down
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Oh just DDoS is back on everything it seems

mircea_popescu: "i know, whatsapp got 200 bn for essentially spamming, why wouldn't we!"
kakobrekla: ok
kakobrekla: fasten your seatbelts
kakobrekla: [02:23:50] <svetlana> cloaking is NOT the solution to the problem.
kakobrekla: [02:24:05] <kakobrekla> how is it not?
kakobrekla: [02:24:11] <kakobrekla> if everyone is cloaked noone can be ddosed
kakobrekla: [02:25:27] <kakobrekla> freenode is broken by default as it will show your ip plainly
kakobrekla: [02:25:49] <svetlana> it is rather trivial to look through cloaks (chanserv can, and anyone can query chanserv with various cidrs and ask whether people match).
kakobrekla: !up svetlana
mircea_popescu: ...
mircea_popescu: let's start with something simple. who is svetlana.
svetlana: Hi.
mircea_popescu: ello
svetlana: I might suggest not using cloaks as the solution here. Using cidr entries in access list, and /cs why, it's quite trivial to look through them. We don't want to "teach" whoever is ddosing here that -- he'd keep doing his thing.
asciilifeform: what is the suggested solution (other than '+i' which was discussed at one point, bitter pill)
svetlana: Instead, get affected people to check their router logs and get more details about the attack.
asciilifeform: svetlana: i got a massive packet dump, and so has kakobrekla ☟︎
asciilifeform: svetlana: standard ntp and ssdp 'amplification' attack
mircea_popescu: and "more details" will do what ?
svetlana: asciilifeform: It is not rather dumbly from a single IP, is it?
asciilifeform: svetlana: not familiar with term 'amplification attack' ?
svetlana: No.
BingoBoingo: svetlana: It is some asshole herding wayward machines
BingoBoingo: routers, servers, the occasional 10 kilo wordpress sites
asciilifeform: svetlana: perhaps you know it under another name. attacker sends spoofed packets to a series of machines, usually misconfigured routers and embedded systems of other kinds
asciilifeform: these reply with N bytes for each spoofed byte sent, hence term 'amplification'
asciilifeform: but they reply to the spoofed address (victim's) rather than attacker's.
svetlana: If the details that you have are not sufficient (which is somewhat often the case), we have to apply discretion and judgment to figure out who it is (before +i, it might make sense to use +r and see if it makes things stop).
mircea_popescu: svetlana so far, we still don't know who you are.
asciilifeform: aha, suggestion is that we occupy ourselves with a permanent game of whack-a-mole.
svetlana: I am from another channel where wc- was complaining about the issue. Couldn't suggest anything but not perceiving cloak as the solution, to him.
mircea_popescu: this is all nice and good, however...
mircea_popescu: the parcimonious approach is to regard you as grossly unqualified to comment on that topic.
mircea_popescu: so far you're not doing much to change that.
BingoBoingo suggests a "Russian Woodpecker" in every back yard...
asciilifeform feels mind utterly boggled at this offer of 'help' of the 'have you tried plugging it in' variety.

mircea_popescu: tomorro is another day!
asciilifeform just got back to his cockpit actually, a few hrs ago
mircea_popescu: mike_c: and it is not unusual for it to catch humans << on the plus side, i get about 10-20 pieces of spam a day, which are pretty much all handcranked. the attepts are well in the 1000s/hr. on the - side, occasionally people complain about having to redo a comment / having lost a comment in the depths.

mircea_popescu: i can appreciate the purity of your vision, but i'd rather have this work on current hardware. what else is there ?
asciilifeform: enemy cannot hijack session by spoofing packets, but can get really annoying
mircea_popescu: how ?
asciilifeform: dos
mircea_popescu: gimme like a scenario.
mircea_popescu: nope. port just ignores him.
asciilifeform: expends cpu cycles on doing so
asciilifeform: at any rate, no magical hardware needed!
mircea_popescu: providing he finds your ip (which i doubt), you can just switch it too.
mircea_popescu: for that matter i envisage most people using this on multiple ips
asciilifeform: the hello-in-udp-mtu lives happily on existing linux/commonplace archs
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be against this being implemented in udp in any case.
asciilifeform: no need to keep track of ips, and to marry the notion of 'origin address'
mircea_popescu: just, needs an extra engineer.
asciilifeform: the other nice thing re: udp is that a connectionless/stateless protocol frustrates traffic analysis very well.
asciilifeform: in my 'error coding' scheme, the station transmits at all times.
asciilifeform: anyone who wants to receive the current pubmessage snapshot can start listening at any point, and will eventually end up with it

punkman: so where do I get real router again?
punkman: or rather PCI dsl modem
asciilifeform: 'openwrt' etc, on hardware of reasonable vintage
asciilifeform: build - personally.
asciilifeform: (this gets you over the arguably low bar of having the router be no more exploitable than the machine(s) it is connected to...)
punkman: as in old router/modem thingy?
asciilifeform: as in something that doesn't have a multitude of undocumented internal sub-cpu cores running fuck knows what
asciilifeform: (see earlier 'arm' threads)
asciilifeform: must remind readers that your machines are as 'real' - or unreal - as you are.
asciilifeform: would you buy an x86 pc box and use it with the factory-installed softs? no? then why would you do this with router ?

assbot: Any questions ? pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1DfWiaJ )
pete_dushenski: ^fitting
mike_c: oh i miss mpoe-pr: "Yes, for as long as you don't try to take them out they're safe."
pete_dushenski: those years in the trenches...
pete_dushenski: mike_c so anything exciting in the pipeline for btcalpha ?
mike_c: much improved bitbet analyzer coming soon. it is being stubborn about getting finished, but it will happen.
pete_dushenski: a nice
pete_dushenski: i've used it a few times
pete_dushenski: can't say it terribly influenced my decisions, or if it did, not for the better.
mike_c: hehe. more betting!
pete_dushenski: the optimised tangent always encourages what is imo over-betting
mike_c: well, the "correct" amount to bet depends on what you think the % chance of the event happening is.
pete_dushenski: "pot odds"
mike_c: the new analyzer will tell you how much to bet based on your input of % of event happenning.
pete_dushenski: heh i like the sound of that
pete_dushenski: mike_c don't suppose there's been any bidders for wol eh ?
mike_c: nope
pete_dushenski: what did it cost to build ?
pete_dushenski: roughly
mike_c: six months of my life and $5k?
pete_dushenski: let's say you're worth $100k per year? so $55 k.
mike_c: i am worth much more than that.
pete_dushenski: lol this we know ;)
mike_c: (not that i'm bitter)
pete_dushenski: but your net worth != your hypothetical salary either
pete_dushenski: your salary would be based on your skills as applied to this project
mike_c: how much do you think it would cost to hire someone to build something like that and trust that it would be done well?
mike_c: your estimation was $50 / hr. I doubt that is the case.
pete_dushenski: well a decent lawyer is $350/hr
pete_dushenski: let's say we're talking that level of professionalism
mike_c: that is excessive. call it $100/hr.
pete_dushenski: ok, so wol is $105k.
mike_c: feels right
pete_dushenski: hm ya
pete_dushenski: surprisingly close to the ~500 btc ipo
pete_dushenski: if you have $200 btc, which we almost do
pete_dushenski: but of course the cost to build doesn't equal the value of the finished product
pete_dushenski: a useful product should be valued much higher, a useless product much lower
pete_dushenski: anyways, now we know that mike_c is $100/hr!
mike_c: don't believe it. i'm not for hire :)

mircea_popescu: not only are your odds of finding a like minded soul vanishingly tiny, but you're deluged in all the fat idiots who think that they may "hate men", as something that's at their disposal, and it's your job and obligation to humor them, because "you're different".
mircea_popescu: and will raise hell if you dare observe that they're the same stinky, unbearable, impossible idiots that men think they are, pretending lesbianism is not a magical cure.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile gay men have for one thing five to ten times as many legit other gay men to meet, and looser dudes make up "men going alone" clubs instead of deciding they're now gay and the gay community must turn itself into mcdonalds to accomodate them.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla "upgrading" in the limited sense of building on a 1mb+ block.
mircea_popescu: which no miner currently does.
kakobrekla: yes but switching is not something that takes time or resources.
mircea_popescu: well no, switching doesn't. but mining in the dead chain takes as many resources as you're willing to throw at it.
kakobrekla: for pool op is something like apt-get update and done
mircea_popescu: might as well mine the wall.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if anyone wants to make a pool for the purpose that can't hurt anything.

artifexd: I have decided that I like this ircd project.
mircea_popescu: o hey.
mircea_popescu: can you actually do it ?
artifexd: I like it to the point of being willing to commit time to do it.

asciilifeform: answerd
artifexd: Would you like to discuss in here or keep it in the comments?
asciilifeform believes that the scheme as originally described is disastrously mistaken
mircea_popescu: coments best!
artifexd: mircea_popescu> am i s/open/artifexd/ ? << huh?
rithm: port 1337 tho kinda elitist don't you think
TomServo: Nah, just leetist
rithm: 7000 would be more in line as a "standard" irc port with security
asciilifeform: but this isn't irc !
TomServo: a port is a port
rithm: riiiight
asciilifeform: has no one actually -read- the thing ?
artifexd: mircea_popescu> can you actually do it ? << There are mad amounts of detail to work out. That said, yes. I can do it.
rithm: so it's a new rfc and interoperability means nothing
rithm: i forgot it's unicorn land please continue
kakobrekla: i think the idea is to fix shit, not make it more beautiful.
rithm: seems like centralized mechanism to prevent mitm, really only becomes decentralize with more /links
asciilifeform: centralized ?
asciilifeform: rithm: did you actually read mircea_popescu's article ?
rithm: i think i'm looking at it now
punkman: hilarious uncloaking exploits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1OHO4FJvKs

mircea_popescu: artifexd am i editing the thing to reflect you're doin' it.
rithm: b. A list of IPs
rithm: the "thing" scales with /links to other "things"
mircea_popescu: <rithm> port 1337 tho kinda elitist don't you think << yes, i do.
rithm: so the client is the server in this scenario or not? is it more p2p or not because i'm not seeing this definition in the language
punkman: (and some text related to video http://decal.sdf.org/spotfedsonline/ )
assbot: Spot The Fed: Online Edition ... ( http://bit.ly/1DgXcDI )
rithm: traditional irc is clinet/server but this isn't irc
mircea_popescu: there is no "Server"
mircea_popescu: much like in bitcoin, some will run larger clients which people can reliably connect to.
mircea_popescu: but they'd still be running the client code, more or less.
rithm: if it scales verically like "interaction" with this thing creates a new "server" then that doesn't sound centralized
mircea_popescu: <rithm> so it's a new rfc and interoperability means nothing << interoperability with what ?
asciilifeform: active thread on mircea_popescu's site, btw
rithm: not that architecture, but I'm not reading that definition on trilema
rithm: TFA title says ircd but it's not something to interoperate with any known ircd correct
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8900 @ 0.00061415 = 5.4659 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: correct.
asciilifeform: perhaps misleading title, 'better ircd', i admit i almost postponed reading it when first saw on account of this
mircea_popescu: ftr, the car was called "a better horse buggy" originally.
punkman: forward secrecy would be nice if possible
mircea_popescu: if one doesn't buy into the entire "branding, even if or especially if before the fact" one's stuck with this. i don't mind it so much.
mircea_popescu: punkman forward secrecy is a one on one affair, mostly. the salt is supposed to implement as much as it's possible, and the lack of signatures.
mircea_popescu: perhaps i don't actually see the whole ball there tho.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i argue that all transmissions must be signed, if this is to be the thing it is really meant to be.
mircea_popescu: but seriously, let's move all discussion on the article, otherwise it'll be hard to fish from logs later on
mircea_popescu shall make further responses there.

ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> heck, if 99% of miners move to the fake chain all the better - lower real diff for a while. << why if 99% of miners move onto that chain, would anyone ever move off?
mircea_popescu: because they can't spend the fake btc they "mined"
mircea_popescu: (i don't mean technically, i mean financially, nobody's accepting it for value)
jurov: but if 99% of miners move to the fake chain, then it will take years till difficulty adjusts.. or we§d have to fork it and adjust anyway
mircea_popescu: from the perspective of the blockchain, the situation is identical to "what woud happen if 99% of miners turned their rigs off"
mircea_popescu: well... nothing ? once they turn them back on they can mine again.
kakobrekla doesnt have great hopes for this upcoming blockchain size war.
Apocalyptic: jurov, good point
jurov: and how it comes financially? suddenly the garzikcoin stop being excnaged for stuff cuz mircea said so?
jurov: *exchanged
mircea_popescu: no, just, mircea's bitcoin in its gavin aspect is being sold. so miners of gavin chain will have to compete with that.
punkman: btw the irc services library used by freenode is EOL'd
punkman: "There will not be another release cycle after Atheme 7.2. We encourage the community to fork Atheme and choose the most suitable forks to drive IRC forward. To this end, we will maintain Atheme 7.2 as a suitable base for forking until October 31, 2015, with all services terminating on October 31, 2016."
mircea_popescu: and merchants accepting it will have to somehow finance the risk, too.
Apocalyptic: kakobrekla, as in you doubt the outcome will be in favour of b-a ?
mircea_popescu: i kinda doubt they actually have the guts to go through with it,
mircea_popescu: but hey.
mircea_popescu: you don't always get the maximal fun out of situations.

mircea_popescu: jurov that 99% figure is mostly a joke. look at the exchanges as they are, think what even a 50k wall would do at say 30 usd per. how exactly are thjose 99% of miners going to finance operations for a week when their block reward is worth ~750 bux ?
mircea_popescu: at best gavin will manage to crush the gavin-bitcoin to whatever it was in 2012 and that's that.
mircea_popescu: nobody's pouring out peta hashes for free for weeks on end.
jurov: you mean you will dump 50k gavins?
mircea_popescu: i will dump all my bitcoin, on the gavin fork.
kakobrekla: you know why we have miners?
artifexd: asciilifeform: lol
mircea_popescu: show teh us how dumping's actually done. what, dja have any idea how long i pined for an opportuniy to play the easy side of this game ?
kakobrekla: cause they cant do math.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah, right.
artifexd: asciilifeform: I was typing up that exact same idea
mircea_popescu: not what i've been hearing from teh chinese folks on the topic, but w/e, gavin's more than welcome to persevere in his usg-is-the-world delusions.
kakobrekla: they will in fact mine with ev-
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla for how long ?
asciilifeform: the miners in the sealed mine will mine on body fat for as long as they can.
mircea_popescu: 1mn a day. how long ?
akisora: Thanks. I was wondering how things worked here since gribble is offline
akisora: I can't auth on gribble. Not that I have any ratings
mircea_popescu: they work... barely.
kakobrekla: ill just say my guess is better than sexygingers.
mircea_popescu: well sure.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, this "they'll mine at -ev" is from the days of gpus.
kakobrekla: nah.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, miner farms are actually pretty stretched as it is, financially.

kakobrekla: dude, vps is like a dollar a month.
kakobrekla: (for the purpose of bouncer)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: there are folks about (some even in #b-a) who have a habit of using something other than an actual computer for their daily work (i won't point fingers)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: they will succumb to the temptation of running the entire demon, and not merely a proxy, on the 'bouncer.'
kakobrekla: i thought nobody even has an actual computer.
asciilifeform: doctor will say to patient 'if it hurts, stop doing it'
asciilifeform: but the entire problem is entirely avoidable
asciilifeform: minimal standard of computer for purpose of this thread
kakobrekla: :)
asciilifeform: box that will compile and run an unpretentious posix demon without major handholding
kakobrekla: context always fucks everything up.
mircea_popescu: no kako, it's u! not context!
mircea_popescu: :D
mircea_popescu: jurov this discussion entirely elides the more important point of "why in the fuck would miners even consider a proposal that inflates their main ware".
mircea_popescu: the block rewards keeps going down. how are they going to make money if there's no pressure on txn to pay ? is gavin going to give them it ?
Apocalyptic: this falls to kako's argument "they can't do math"
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 7950 @ 0.00064331 = 5.1143 BTC [+]
jurov: we don't know who the damn miners actually are anymore
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic kako's argument needs a "and the govt will print money and give it to them. forever" companion.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, it's as good as the argument that "my horse doesn't need to eat"
mircea_popescu: jurov "we". i kinda do.
jurov: i see. so you are certain these entities are mostly motivated by profit.
mircea_popescu: yes.
Apocalyptic: "rational entities" will be sufficient imo
mircea_popescu: even the statal actors have a limited budget.
mircea_popescu: this war exceeds that.

asciilifeform: (double-spend on the 'actual' net, naturally)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the lulzy part in there is "clearly the thing that's not needed but we kept repeating that it is, is in fact needed. because...uh..."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what'd that do ?
akisora: did Gavin just say there are special rules for coinbase??
mircea_popescu: hm ?
akisora: In the article linked in the reddit thestringpuller posted Gavin said "2. There are special rules for 'coinbase' transactions: there can be only one coinbase transaction per block, it must be the first transaction, etc."
akisora: What the fuck is that? lol
akisora: I don't understand what is going on with that
Apocalyptic: akisora, coinbase transactions, not "Coinbase" the company
mircea_popescu: akisora this was always the case.
akisora: oh okay :)
mircea_popescu: the "coinbase" tx is the tx that pays the miners for the block mined, that 25 btc
