zacm: The SEC has become “an agency that polices the broken windows on the street level and rarely goes to the penthouse floors,” Kidney said, according to a copy of his remarks obtained by Bloomberg News.
zacm: Kidney said his superiors were more focused on getting high-paying jobs after their government service than on bringing difficult cases. The agency’s penalties, Kidney said, have become “at most a tollbooth on the bankster turnpike.”

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The particular implementation
asciilifeform: never used it.
BingoBoingo: Ah, I have yet to play with SBCL
asciilifeform: 'clisp' is mostly used by people running 'exotica' (machines for which there is no 'sbcl')
asciilifeform: it is dog-slow - exactly what unfortunates who went to uni for 'comp sci' expect a lisp to be like.
BingoBoingo: I see. It's also the implementation "Land of Lisp" supposes for most of its exercises
asciilifeform: most web crap in common lisp uses 'CL+SSL', an FFI wrapper of traditional openssl.

Duffer1: why won't you let me cavity search you if you're not doing anything illegal
thestringpuller: lol Duffer1
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Maybe when multiple times a day cavity searching gets normalized, some of the searchers will send the search with notes reading things like " Cavity searched earlier, sphincter torn, proceed with caution"

BingoBoingo: Doge miners largely would prolly be cool with merged mining but lack the initiative to hardfork to do it in defiance of their masters. Litecoin minzors ave been screaming hardfork for some time.
bitcoinpete: any idea why litecoin miners wanna fork? first i've heard of it
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: That is why it is remarkable CoinDesk had the editorial insight to bring this up.

Mats_cd03: what a dangerous hedge, wouldn't you say, in hindsight?

keonne: most of my day to day spending is done in actual shops, so having my spending wallet mobile is pretty important to me
mircea_popescu: also in the news, matonis "definitely not a stooge", as per matonis.

keonne: lol mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: keonne they don't make you eat own dogfood at bi-wallet ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Matonis is stooge in the original sense, where a stooge is incapable of knowing they are.
keonne: lol no they do not
keonne: BingoBoingo: i dont know about that
mircea_popescu: me either.
mircea_popescu: much unknowns of many flavours in this swamp we live in
mircea_popescu: keonne so how did the correct signature but bad content thing work earlier ?
keonne: no one at bc.i has ever asked what wallet I use. Tehy ask for an address at the end of the month to send me money, and thats all
mircea_popescu: you mean btc. which as we've meanwhile established, isn't money :D
keonne: mircea_popescu: regarding the database thing a couple weeks ago?
keonne: right of course
mircea_popescu: yes.
keonne: unless mr texas gets his way
mircea_popescu: it got a few people, myself included, raising eyebrows
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bitcoinpete apparently http://trilema.com/2013/why-finance-shouldnt-be-open-to-your-average-schmoe/#comment-98938
gribble: The operation succeeded.
keonne: honestly mircea_popescu i have no idea, like i said I am not very technical, and those who are weren't very communicative with us about what actually happened
keonne: i know there is an internal review going on
keonne: afaik no funds were lost EXCEPT on sharedcoin
keonne: and we repaid all those
keonne: I wish I could be of more use
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I can't stahp reading your negro speak article
keonne: lol these reddit comments
keonne: "No this blogger is known for being a bigot psychopath
keonne: "
mircea_popescu: keonne point is : if block signatures and block contents aren't checked against each other, your design is incredibly weak.
mircea_popescu: dja understand what i mean ? it's not just some random attack, it's any and all attacks this creates undue vulenrability to.
BingoBoingo: ^^
mircea_popescu: so talk to whoever's in charge of doing these things there, and have him give you something that's both a) a good answer and b) that they can make public.
keonne: yes that does sound concerning
mircea_popescu: because this isn't something one shrugs off
BingoBoingo: Is piuk still at Blockchain.info?
keonne: yes
keonne: mircea_popescu: will do
bounce: apropos bank accounts, plenty places it's not a privilege since the government pretty much if not outright requires everyone to receive the bezzle through one of those. easier on the tax man, see.
mircea_popescu: bounce who said a bank account is a privilege lol
bounce: s/tax /tax/
BingoBoingo: bounce: Oh, but the next generation of bezzel includes an alternative
bounce: what, debt bondage cards?
mircea_popescu: you know, i was kinda rooting for the tramp stamp to become rfid govt id.
mircea_popescu: you wanna pay something just buttpress the cashier
keonne: BingoBoingo: that article (negro speak) is brilliant
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo keonne i must admit tho, it's two hours' work on my part and years on the part of mr cody, the folklorist that collected my base material.
keonne: mircea_popescu: rfid tramp stamp, fake japanese characters and all
BingoBoingo: bounce: the many flavors of prepaid debit cards are the thought
mircea_popescu: well yours can just say "keonne", it's weird enough
keonne: yes I saw it when someone posted it in here... punkman maybe
fluffypony: keonne: I would stay away from MultiBit if you're non-technical; Electrum is deterministic so you backup your wallet by writing down or memorising 12 words, much easier
mircea_popescu: but yeah, the jims and johns of this world will need cuneiform or w/e
bounce: peon cards. places like estonia and iceland are pretty close, others are going there with the "unified" gov't id card; matter of time before banking cards move into it. nobody seems to care that the gov't then owns your entire identity yet that much more, either.
keonne: fluffypony: im technical enough not to be an idiot
keonne: not technical enough to give mircea_popescu an answer
mircea_popescu: he's a semi-tractor-technical.
keonne: quite, lol
fluffypony: keonne: Sure - just pointing it out:) Also, there seems to be an issue with multiple reports of MultiBit generating change addresses but not saving the privkey to the wallet, easy way to lose money
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I know an East StL math teacher that lost half a BTC of mine last year. In short time you can learn a new language.
mircea_popescu: lol
keonne: fluffypony: yeah i read about that, pretty shitty, i don't know that multibit ahs even acknowledged that issue
bounce: half-track technical would be more interesting
BingoBoingo: keonne fluffypony This is why I specify 0.5.11 or earlier recommending Multibit
fluffypony: keonne: Yeah that's the most worrying part. I know that reproducing the issue is hard, but they have a vested interest in figuring it out
keonne: BingoBoingo: i assumed as much
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: Point
mircea_popescu: tbh im kinda surprised teh tradepress isn't howling all about "in january, 'Bitcoin Baron Keeps a Secretive Open Source OS Alive' ; in april, nsa's crown jool is thrown in the dirt of the public space." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this is why bitcoin will rule all fiat : those people can't even keep up with the obvious conspiraci theories.
keonne: mircea_popescu: is this your real name?
mircea_popescu: yeah.
keonne: It is a common name in Romania?
mircea_popescu: well the surname is.
BingoBoingo: Firstname is too, the combination isn't too common though
mircea_popescu: the first name isn't quite keonne, but it's a sort of hm.
mircea_popescu: kinda rare.
keonne: When I was 14, I got scammed so hard, trying to buy 100 Motorolla RAZRs from a Mircea Popescu in Romania
mircea_popescu: nowai ?
keonne: for real
mircea_popescu: well that may have not been *his* real name
BingoBoingo: Maybe was the artist?
mircea_popescu: haha the artist is a kid, like 25 or w/e
mircea_popescu: keonne how long ago is being 14 ?
keonne: 11 years
keonne: Maybe I was 15
keonne: I dont remember, but the RAZR was the hottest phone on the market
keonne: And I sold the phones on to people, before I even had them, ended up in some shit, lol...
mircea_popescu: keonne actually, here's a story followed by fun trick :
mircea_popescu: romania uses a bacalaureat thing, you're not an adult until you pass this exam,. coupla years ago the romanian ed ministry refused (cause inept) to publish the list of results online. and so some people hacked their db and i published the results.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I assume the artist named you is older than that
mircea_popescu: ;;google site:trilema.com rezultate la bacalaureat sesiunea

mircea_popescu: so now, theres a list of about 200k kids ?
mircea_popescu: anyone feeling like building a db of name frequency in romania can simply wget and grep and awk that.
keonne: oh wow cool
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: btw I found my blog post today, didn't even realise I was internet famous:) I hope the comment cleared up that I wasn't being entirely retarded at the time!
fluffypony: (Found as it was mentioned her last night when I was asleep)
fluffypony: Here
mircea_popescu: i didn't get to read it yet, because well... i got this endless list of reports to look through yet.
keonne: I suck a grep
keonne: but I could throw together a quick python script probably
fluffypony: Mmmmmm python
keonne: Its okay though. I appreciated that possibly fake mircea popescu - he taught me a good lesson
fluffypony: Every time I try do anything mildly interesting in python I do it in the least pythonic way possible
keonne: at an early age
keonne: mostly, not to use western union for anything ever
mircea_popescu: haha. how much was a motorola razr in the 2000s ?
keonne: I was selling them for 550 USD
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo actually, i suspect you're right. there may be two of them, an old sculptor guy and a teeny pictor.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I dunno the youngun
keonne: I bought 10 of them from Mr. Popescu for around that price
mircea_popescu: http://www.portfolios.ro/popescu
ozbot: Mircea Popescu - artist vizual - Timisoara, Romania
keonne: well, by bought, i mean sent him money via western union
fluffypony: keonne: Ouch
keonne: I bet I still have all the emails
mircea_popescu: lol what are you, from the btctalk forum ?
keonne: lol like i said, a good lesson early on
fluffypony: The internet was a different place then, everyone trusted each other with no real basis for it
mircea_popescu: indeed.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony you're thinking the 90s.
mircea_popescu: that's a different time.
keonne: the 00's i think were the exact opposite
mircea_popescu: pretty much.
keonne: it wasnt about me trusting this dude
keonne: it was me trusting Western Union, and not understanding WTF i was doing
mircea_popescu: ha. sounds exactly by the book.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: Ah I thought this was the 90s
keonne: yes, by the book, hope he ate well, compliments of the stupid american
fluffypony: Brain fail
mircea_popescu: he probably paid some debts, got a coupla girls for a long weekend and that was it.
keonne: good
mircea_popescu: or maybe he saved it and bought lehman stock.
keonne: haha
mircea_popescu: i knew a guy like this, was hysterical. had a bookie biz, old skinny guy, megasmoker, huge glasses
keonne: yup i still have the emails
mircea_popescu: he meticulously avoided mixing "earned" moneys with "bezzled" moneys
keonne: yeah it was through alibaba haha
mircea_popescu: because he believed the latter is much more likely to "go" to similar "business"
mircea_popescu: so whenbever he was putting dough into something dubious he really wanted to succeed, he used the former pile for it.

mircea_popescu: well perhaps so far gone beyond nutty it wraps back again into smart, who knows.

BingoBoingo: Really a Python, LISP or C for retards readable imlementation
bounce: let's start with the type of model we'd like there. hierarchical is "natural" for over-enthousiastic devs but doesn't work all that well in practice.
Naphex: there is PolarSSL and CySSL
Naphex: but more aimed for embedded work
BingoBoingo: Naphex: Explain
bounce: a WoT thingy makes more sense, but is harder to work with and harder to understand
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform more than semiconductor chemistry i'd say. lynn conway wasn't 40 years ago was she ?
mircea_popescu: bounce the traditional wisdom used to be that (booklength spec + half line user manual) beats (one page spc + one page user manual), because you do the book once and then the millions of users are saved a million pages.
mircea_popescu: this is inspiured by ... ford t pretty much
samson_: PolarSSL is perfect for all sorts of platforms, Windows, Linux and MacOS included
mircea_popescu: yet i suspect we're getting to a point where it's actually becoming false, and nobody has the oversight to call it.
mircea_popescu: samson_ who makes it ?
samson_: polarssl.org
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 42 @ 0.00579967 = 0.2436 BTC [+] {4}
Naphex: used in openvpn and cyassl was/is used in mysql
mircea_popescu: ah ah
Naphex: Polar has dual license while cyassl is gpl
samson_: The picocoin project is being forked to use it
bounce: hmm. well, there is a good incentive to conciseness (see EWD1300, at least first two paragraphs) but "the GUI beliefs" overshot it in a grand way, sort-of coming out the other way
Naphex: i have used both in some embedded work, when something lighter then openssl was needed.
samson_: They only added EC in PolarSSL recently
bounce: s/incentive/rationale/ really, the incentive is a bit lacking
mircea_popescu: bounce this is true.
BingoBoingo: Lighter for lighter's sake isn't really the aim though
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it is when i dress...
bounce: the "TL;DR" thing is a nice misunderstanding, by the by. don't put summaries at the bottom, where I find'em after I read the article.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That rationale for dressing fails at higher latitudes though to the reality of cold.

mircea_popescu: consider this illustrative piece : http://www.27bslash6.com/flash.html
mircea_popescu: "We would never strike a student and whether the software is pirated or not is not the issue. He denied having the drive which means he knew he shouldn't have it here then it was found in his bag so I feel the punishment is suitable."
mircea_popescu: so basically the ad baculum argument reduces to "he knew we have the stick, therefore he should get the stick"
mircea_popescu: then people wonder why and wherefore it's game over. well who the fuck would want to play with you!?
BingoBoingo: I raise you http://www.27bslash6.com/easter.html

BingoBoingo: Yeah
BingoBoingo: Back in the day wouldn't have been dared here
BingoBoingo: But nao that Ibuprofen has been a drug for so long
mircea_popescu: i guess may account for why putin "doens't understand how the world works".
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i wonder what % of the us agency agents are actually drug free. not pretend-free, not pass the test free, but actually, as a lifestyle.
mircea_popescu: afaik the fsb still by and large is.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo isn't 54 a little young to die ?
BingoBoingo: For small sample sizes I can gather, in the US the actual drug free figures are small
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Eh, UW only was one year short of my pappy
mircea_popescu: this sounds like the fucking pleistocene all oer again.
BingoBoingo: My hypothesis on why Putin can't understant how the world works though is that the world just doesn't work because it has no benefit from doing so.
BingoBoingo: The world just is.
BingoBoingo: No matter who or what slaps it on the ass the world can just persist in being.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it was obviously a jab at a roomfull of potheads telling the sober guy that "he doesn't understand how the pretty colors work"
mircea_popescu: well duh. they ain't there.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: In the US in any niche there is always a puritain contingent of some pretending to bees. Generally the higher in any gov niche the more they dominate.
mircea_popescu: aha
BingoBoingo: I've only met one person who worked at DISA though and they were shipped to London after racking up more DUIs int he states than Mr Bond himself.

BingoBoingo: The Robert Hansen puritain to a fault type though at the higher levels of government security organizations is not that rare in the US though.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: and how is doge still even around? first teh nascar, now this merged-mining noise << it's only "still around" in the sense of noise. like you know, the dead aren't really dead if you remember them :D

mircea_popescu: you know there's a guy who tried this in 2012 for similar reasons ?
mircea_popescu: he got really buttreamed, but he did pay off afaik, and one of the few to do so.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: What was his collateral though? And did eh link it to the usd price?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 67 @ 0.00561522 = 0.3762 BTC [-] {5}
mircea_popescu: he did not, no. mostly because nobody in btc would accept such a deal.
fluffypony: Yeah I get that
fluffypony: I was...more naive then
fluffypony: Not that I'm not naive now
fluffypony: But hopefully a little less
mircea_popescu: way it works.

fluffypony: keonne: Meh, it was a year ago, and I can understand mircea_popescu not noticing the USD linked loan
mircea_popescu: i did notice it. i discarded it, too, cause who the hell is giving you a fiat loan.
keonne: ok, off for a bit, cheers
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: Btc jam had the option, I figured it wasn't unheard of for loans with a term of more than like 2 weeks
fluffypony: Otherwise it's just asking for trouble
mircea_popescu: but anyway, as kman says, props for not being a butthurt bitch.
fluffypony: No worries
keonne: sand. kofte, cigarettes, and coffee, somewhere truffles is dying inside do to my lack of healthly activities
keonne: kman - hah my dad calls me that

fluffypony: keonne: Coffee is awesome, I refuse to believe it has any negative affect on my health :-P
keonne: mircea_popescu: you keep getting better and better
mircea_popescu: nothing has a negative effect on your health in moderate amts.

dexX7: hey i'm still thinking about the heartbleed stuff and was wondering: how could one - in theory - do something nefarious with this? user sessions aside, but what else is flying around there?
mircea_popescu: if you get the server's keys you can a)impersonate the server and b) decrypt all its traffic, thaty you previously stored.
BingoBoingo: Pretty much this is the worst of all cases that the mainstream security community would have supposed
dexX7: so this would be great for phishing for example?
BingoBoingo: Or Spear Phishing
BingoBoingo: Or DNS hijacking
dexX7: but the server's private key is usually not exchanged, i think?
BingoBoingo: Or just running a high traffic router and scooping up ciphertext
mircea_popescu: dexX7 for anything.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: Heartbleed extracts that key
mircea_popescu: dexX7 but it has to be in memory.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you're looking for more of a perspective thing : this is without a doubt the largest vulnerability ever reported in the history of vulnerabilities.
dexX7: hm right. to encrypt something, you'd need the key, therefore it's somewhere
mircea_popescu: bar none, nothing comes close.
mircea_popescu: it's larger than the cookie monster, and that thing had the advantage of there only being about 50 computers total.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: This allows extracting privates, so it allows Decrypting
dexX7: how likely is it such a flaw is implemented by accident?
dexX7: or rephrased: was it placed there to be exploited by some party?
mircea_popescu: how likely is it that you're really my wife and are currently pregnant with twin bald eagles ?
BingoBoingo: How often does the sun just stop fusion for a few minutes to catch a breath
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo funny factoid : the sun fusion is not unlike mining. it could in principle be the case a finite interval goes without any emission.
mircea_popescu: not likely obviously
mircea_popescu: but hence the solar cycles etc.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, of course the possibility exists that the sun stops totally for a measurable period of time, but...
mircea_popescu: mhm.
BingoBoingo: Like mining... How often actually
dexX7: hehe.. no i mean.. people make errors, that's for sure, but sometimes one would say "you'd need to be very, very stupid, do to an error of this kind and it's likely no one sane would ever do something like this". and i'm wondering, if this is the case here
mircea_popescu: this is an implant not an error. at what level in the process the implanting starts and cluelessness takes over is still unclear.
mircea_popescu: the implanting ends*
BingoBoingo: dexX7: Basically if your were stupid enough to err this way, you were to stupid to concieve of this way to err

mircea_popescu: fluffypony is rape quite so bad there as they say ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah, you can't minimise it, but it's a problem in the townships and villages and not so much in the suburbs
mircea_popescu: aha
fluffypony: but traditionally speaking women are not viewed as equals, so the men can just do whatever they want
joecool: hmm, doesn't openssl also have weird licensing that would prevent a fork?
mircea_popescu: so not exactly a race thing as much as a gender thing ?
mircea_popescu: joecool not at all.
Naphex: lol
mircea_popescu: just a huge workload for very little pay that prevents a fork.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: both Afrikaaners (white) and native South Africans (black) have a similar view of women
fluffypony: although culturally that view developed independently of the other
mircea_popescu: well most people alive, or historically existing had the same view.
fluffypony: the younger generation is better with that
mircea_popescu: well "women" in the traditional sense hardly exist in the newer generation. it's pretty much a genderless soup
mircea_popescu: kinda have my doubts of this weird construct's chances of survival, but we see.
fluffypony: true
fluffypony: the problem is that the women-as-sex-objects view among native African males leads to some weird crap
joecool: ah, yeah just looked it up, it has the advertising clause that makes it incompatible with GPL without an exemption
mircea_popescu: well yes but iirc it was bsd licensed
fluffypony: like a complete disregard for logic when it comes to "rape a baby as a cure for AIDs"
fluffypony: because women + babies aren't = men
mircea_popescu: well, that part can even be set aside. raping babies does not actually cure aids.

benkay: there's an auth path that does away with passwords, but i don't know that anyone's going to implement it.
Mats_cd03: a clever founder would hire a starving artist for 500usd
benkay: the approach i expect to see implementers use is passwords + phone auth
jurov: and loot all photobanks for moar nice pictures

benkay: jurov: since when?
Mats_cd03: i imagine mitigating mobile malware is largely a policy issue
benkay: as with all installed software, i think it's the user's issue.
jurov: are you both serious?

robwhiz22: mircea_popescu invited me in here. I came in on Sunday but you were going to a Bat Mitzvah.
benkay: so what situation would lead to someone who accepted a funding action with btc after 1 block getting burned?
robwhiz22: Mircea, I sent you a proposal last week and you invited me in here for your answer.
fluffypony gets his dreidel and yarmulke
benkay: a fork immediately after the confirmation, which resolved to a branch in which the solo-conf transaction was not included?
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 no, i merely pointed you out to here. i'm still not going to pm with you, and that's not likely to change.
mircea_popescu: if you keep pretending like you call the shots i'll simply ignore you.
mircea_popescu: we about clear ?
jurov: robwhiz22 you are having another super sikrit idea?
jurov: if its success relies on utmost secrecy then it's not so good idea anyway
nubbins`: ^
mircea_popescu: moreover, the anonymous enjoys perfect secrecy of their ideas anyway.
fluffypony ponders
mircea_popescu: nobody notices what the bums do in the holes they inhabit, nobody notices what "ideas" anon ppl "have" etc.
bounce: .oO( perfect forward secrecy of ideas )
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, certainly you're the boss.
fluffypony: I find this a contentious issue...I agree that ideas are worthless, implementation is critical, but if implementation has already begun and the person seeks counsel/funding how much of that do they make public?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony if you stick around here you'll see great ideas being given away for free multiple times a week
mircea_popescu: and i do mean great, not in the sense of "tinker joe thinks this rocks after two beers".
pLambert: enough to make the people they are trying to get money from comfortable
fluffypony: pLambert: yeah there's the rub
benkay: the best way to make funders comfortable is by demonstrating competence.
pLambert: so, as much as you can give
benkay: past performance best indicator etc
mircea_popescu: dude get out. you got no money you're giving your entire idea away entirely for free to the people who have money.
mircea_popescu: all of it.
benkay: withholding throws red flags, an important note.
mircea_popescu: then maybe they give you the great opportunity to give the manother one. also for free.
mircea_popescu: then, maybe, perhaps, possibly, you actually have a name
mircea_popescu: and can begun getting paid.
fluffypony: benkay: agreed
mircea_popescu: this obnoxious pretentiousness where "you" have an idea and x has money and you're now equals is like... dream on, you'll be on sex and the city
mircea_popescu: as the cumrag.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: are you talking to me or robwhatshisface?
mircea_popescu: neither, i was just sayin' generally.
fluffypony: ah ok
mike_c: if the 'idea is worthless' and the 'implementaion is critical', then why be afraid to discuss the idea no matter what stage you are at.
fluffypony: mike_c: I agree with that *at the idea stage*
nubbins`: wait, is fluffypony the guy with the fake wife?

fluffypony doesn't know the parlance. at all.
asciilifeform: robwhiz22: i imagine you'd have to confess here wtf the 'proposal' is
mircea_popescu: Getting C programmers to understand that they cause the computer to do less than minimum is intractable. They would not /use/ C if they understood this point, so if you actually cause them to understand it in the course of a discussion, you will only make them miserable and hate their lives. People are pretty good at detecting that this is a likely outcome of thinking, and it takes conscious effort to brace yourself
mircea_popescu: and get through such experiences. Most people are not willing even to /listen/ to arguments or information that could threaten their comfortable view of their own existence, much less think about it, so when you cannot answer a C programmer's "arguments" that his way of life is just great the way it is, it is a pretty good sign that you let him set the agenda once he realized that his way of life was under threat. Sin
mircea_popescu: ce you have nothing to defend, your self-preservation instinct will not activate hitherto unused parts of your brain to come up with reasons and rationalizations for what you have done, you will not be aware that you have been taken for a ride before it is over and you "lost".

fluffypony: or self-defining

bounce: well a big name german guy entirely hung up on language, can't remember his name. there's gotta be irony in there somewhere.
mircea_popescu: aite, so go ahead an' critique it.
asciilifeform: interesting that someone might write a whatever re: cardano and not ask me.
robwhiz22: You have my letter. The cardano is not fit for any purpose today. (But this can change easily.) Why don't you read my letter then.

benkay: robwhiz22: share your shit.

mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 dude. i sent a letter to the guy running cryptome. because i know he's qualified. he published it. i see no problem with this. i am more than willing to extend the welcoming of critique to his readership, because if he judged this is a good idea i'm going on his hand.

mircea_popescu: i am however not transforming this into "please send me anon emails". you want to critique it, either publish it on cryptome, that critique, or on your blog, which i may eventually read if you're anybody
mircea_popescu: or else i guess here.
robwhiz22: asciilifeform, why don't you get your boss to accept my proposal and you can stop salivating :)
nubbins`: why don't we just keep this circular "discussion" going instead
fluffypony: lol
bounce: it's the cartwheels, I'm telling ya
nubbins`: art imitates life
mike_c: let me guess robwhiz22: you are charging for the full details of the critique.
mircea_popescu: no wai ?!
fluffypony: mike_c: also the contents of your computer has been encrypted...but for the very low fee of 10 BTC I can decrypt it for you
robwhiz22: mike_c - no not exactly. I've written most of the details in the first email, and am including a proper well-edited write-up free of charge with the proposal.
mircea_popescu: suppose you just write the elevator speech in the next five minutes
benkay: or pastebin the letter
mircea_popescu: what am i, a highschool teacher, send me crap in double spaced comic sans fiont ?
benkay: save yourself some work
robwhiz22: suppose you read my email? Don't you still have it?
asciilifeform: robwhiz22: cardano is co-authored by me & mp. not dictated by him as work for hire. (see s.nsa contract on mpex.co for who's who)
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read proposals for turkish soap pilots.
asciilifeform: robwhiz22: if you've something to suggest, please do it here
fluffypony starts writing a Turkish soap
robwhiz22: asciilifeform, I'm sorry. He answered the email to Polimedia and called you the chief engineer - which is why I thought he was, 'your boss.'
mircea_popescu: what are you, from the 50s ? this is the 21st century, work relations are fluid.
nubbins`: this is painful
mike_c: this is obviously a weak attempt at extortion. rob, you have picked the wrong victims.

ozbot: Re: Lisp advocacy misadventures - Naggum cll archive
robwhiz22: All right. asciilifeform, in my critique I showed what you say makes you 'salivate' - obviously, without charge - as spec work. A proper write-up is incldued for free with a larger proposal.
mike_c: 'included for free with receipt of payment'.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform will you be terribly annoyed with me if i point out that in fact the "run fast and without making sense" approach appeals ?
Shakespeare: wow robwhiz22, stop being such a chore
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if it had no appeal, who would do it
mircea_popescu: imh&uo, what's needed is a way to convert exploratory code from c to lisp, and have all old shit in lisp
Shakespeare: just say what you wanna say here and again
Shakespeare: it wont kill you
mircea_popescu: rather than take my ability away to write five bad lines of regex until i finally get grep to find what i wanted in the logs
bounce: "run nonsensically and slow" is rather popular these days too
bounce: as long as the "coding" is, er, "easy"?
mircea_popescu: that's the happy medium here, i tell you : hack the shit in c, then re-write it in lisp once it's in any seriousness going to be used by others for anything
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i use emacs and 'slime', personally. 'f1' key wired to 'eval sexpr in current cursor'
mircea_popescu: yea see ?

fluffypony: :-P
robwhiz22: This is how I started the email: "As described in your introduction to its specs, the Cardano it allows one point of certainty in an uncertain world . However insecure a computer might be to which it is connected, so long as a Cardano does not leave your possession, its private key can be relied on to work, and to be uncompromised, while it remains on the physical Cardano which does not export it under any circumstances. Moreover, yo
robwhiz22: u can actually use that private key while preserving the above guarantees."
robwhiz22: You should read it.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: the bathtub catapult has some potential
mike_c: satoshi hacked together bitcoin. still waiting for that rewrite..
mircea_popescu: mike_c indeed.
fluffypony: mike_c: MagicalTux was rewriting in PHP, innit?
bounce: for me, the biggest off-putting thing to learning lisp keeps on being having to accept emacs in the deal.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 5 @ 0.05799879 = 0.29 BTC [+]
daybyter: nah....you can use lisp with nano, too.
robwhiz22: I then stated: "As beautiful as the idea is, the Cardano in its present form is unfit for any purpose whatsoever, as I will prove shortly. If interested in my follow-up proposal, I can prepare a more detailed overview detailing this conclusion. The main points are summarized below."
Shakespeare: robwhiz22 dpaste it and link it here then
Shakespeare: you'll get the benefit of all eyes
asciilifeform: lisp, of whatever kind, without emacs, is quite like trying to do international business without knowing a word of english
asciilifeform: certainly possible
daybyter: but take a look at scheme. I prefer it over lisp now.
robwhiz22: That is not how product proposals work, Shakespeare.
mircea_popescu: i kinda like nano
Shakespeare: it is here
mircea_popescu: most of the trilema that's not written in vi is written in nano
bounce: used to use pico for ages.
asciilifeform: at the very least, you need an editor that will match parens and auto-indent for you
Shakespeare: mp is trying to tell you, you dont decide how things work
asciilifeform: and, preferably, can be wired to the evaluator for real-time experimentation
nubbins`: i still use pico when i have need to create flat text files
asciilifeform: this leaves... emacs+slime (and an obscure, experimental variant of 'vi')
nubbins`: (this isn't often)
robwhiz22: It would not be responsible disclosure if I were to pastebin the rest of hte email here.
nubbins`: ^ AHA
nubbins`: now we're getting to it
Shakespeare: so you think it has a security flaw? then tell asciilifeform
Shakespeare: he made the damn thing
mike_c: how can you say it would not be responsible disclosure when that is exactly what the manufacturer is asking you to do.
nubbins`: ^
asciilifeform: robwhiz22: you may wish to consider becoming distinguishable from a nigerian spammer
Shakespeare: also it isnt even in the wild
Shakespeare: you arent hurting anyone
nubbins`: /timer 15 ^
mircea_popescu: and moreover... the product is not deployed. any disclosure is responsible by definition
mircea_popescu: who the fuck's gonna be harmed, the flies ?
mike_c: sure it is, ascii uses it to generate his bitcoin wallets :)
robwhiz22: I wrote privately to the Polimedia office at the address at which the Cryptome announcement solicited feedback.
Shakespeare collects another coke
asciilifeform: mike_c: the rng.
asciilifeform: mike_c: 'everybody' is obsessed with the rng, but it's 1960s tech.

asciilifeform: mike_c: invest in a soldering iron. you'll be surprised at what can be made just from what people throw away.
bounce: upshot of having tech development go much faster is that now, if you're trying to dig "forgotten" tech back up, the people who originally made it might still be alive. not so much with, oh, the roman taxi meter, or things like that.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, if you like I can prepare the disclosure for public consumption. You can then release it. For obvious reasons of haste, I did not include a highly polished and edited write-up with the preliminary email.
robwhiz22: (But did included the main disclosures, which together make the current Cardano specs unfit for any purpose - although it is very close to being fit.)
nubbins`: so titillating
bounce proposes to include robwhiz22 in the premium version of the rng. such noise!
robwhiz22: You will have the write-up to do with as you want, including releasing as-is. However I do not think that type of disclosure is necessary. I would suggest you simply deploy the specific mitigations in the verison that ships.
mike_c: have you seen blogs.bitcoin-assets.com? nobody polishes their turds around here. just publish it.
mircea_popescu: i polish my turds ;/
asciilifeform: some folks flunked spam school. didn't read 'spam like a pro in 21 days!' very attentively.
mike_c: (nobody - mp). and he's not mp.
robwhiz22: But to go back to my experience - overall all of the proposals of this type that I have written have been unpublished publicly. (i.e. for internal use.)
robwhiz22: I mean the ones that were accepted and paid for. The ones that aren't accepted, I don't write.

robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, yes I thought also that it works and thought it might be shipping. For security reasons it is obviously a great benefit if it is not quite clear whether it is shipping, to whom, and in what quantities.
mircea_popescu: also for insecurities reasons.
robwhiz22: yes, also for marketing reasons :)
robwhiz22: i.e. if there is a beta phase.
mircea_popescu: why's you lot so worried about teh cardano anyway ? it's just a strong crypto device with impenetrable rng, what of it ?
mircea_popescu: the world's going there anyway.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, I agree with you. I think it has a large market.
mircea_popescu: right right. anyway, review teh sec letters. nsa wants to talk it'd better not be sending me derpy proposals in the mail. get ready for a full exchange agreement, and i get to veto the next president.
mircea_popescu: i'm not the fucking french, a little respect wtf.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, thank you for the compliment :) But the proposal is not the work of an organization. I would, as stated, personally offer it. As well it has its limits and must be taken in as just an internal proposal.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, unlike the NSA which tends to hand-wave as they propose certain specific vulnerabilities without giving reasons, my reasoning is stated. This is part of why it is a bit difficult to prepare the proposal in full and I don't do it except if an initial offer is accepted.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 2 @ 0.05799 = 0.116 BTC [-]
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, i.e. because it must be well-thought out, detailed, and edited, with supporting arguments. It is quite a bit of work to do an internal design proposal for these reasons.

chairman_meow: jurov: it doesnt matter really
pankkake: I tried https://ice-dice.com/ for a while, but I don't really have any reason to trust it
pankkake: a calculator of expected gains would be nice, as each have different invested/volume ratios, I suppose
wao-ender: chairman_meow: let's spin at https://coinroll.it/
chairman_meow: really, the owners of jd can run away with the money and live a good life

mike_c: well, the invested/volume is constantly changing. you can see historical monthly jd returns here: http://www.btcalpha.com/income/
pankkake: wild idea: create a meta investment arbitraging between dice sites
pankkake: of course, you're adding new risks
chairman_meow: arbitrage between dice sites? how?
mike_c: there's no arbitrage. but you mean just switching like mining pools do?
pankkake: yes
mike_c: JD is 2 orders of magnitude bigger. not sure there's much switching to be done.

mircea_popescu: main problem would be... it takes like a minute to pop.
jborkl: ah ok, I know what to do about that then- thank you
mircea_popescu: also i dunno why you'd recommend anyone upgrade to 9.1. more like downgrade to 6.3 or something.
jborkl: well, anthing before .8 wont work anymore right?
mircea_popescu: http://www.bcoinnews.com/kncminer-neptune-update/ < i see three boxes around article. any reason ?
ozbot: KNCminer Neptune update | Bitcoin news
mircea_popescu: but otherwise imo much improvement.
mircea_popescu: jborkl .4 works, what, you kidding ?
jborkl: I thought they switched DB and said it was not compatible
jborkl: maybe they just said that
jborkl: never actually tried it to see, oh mining against bitcoind wouldnt work
jborkl: if you did not switch
mircea_popescu: it works just fine, you have to actually add a db config
jborkl: well, I know if you upgraded to the .8? or newer you would then have to dl the old blockchain to use a prior version. I remember it created - anyway I did not know you could still use the old versions
jborkl: very good to know
mircea_popescu: sure you can use them. the last hardfork was made by satoshi himself, if memory serves moving from .3
mircea_popescu: nobody hence perceived he'd have the authority to do so (and rightly)
thestringpuller: so version .9 is completely broken?
thestringpuller: it seems we are better off writing our own bitcoin client at this point...

mike_c: I was looking at armory the other day and they mentioned they were never going to cut the cord with bitcoind for fear of creating a fork.
Mats_cd03: hmm s.mpoe is back to 0.000965
mike_c: it seems having a popular alternate client is actually a good opportunity to write a new client by calculating shit yourself and comparing against what bitcoind does.
mike_c: lots of in-the-wild use, meaning lots of test cases
pankkake: and yet it's now storing a whole separate indexed blockchain
pankkake: so bitcoind isn't used for much except read blocks and push txs
mike_c: and it doesn't seem hard to process those yourself, and then see if your code would have done the same thing.
mike_c: if no 'virtual forks' for a year, then presto. new reference client.

Azelphur: In other news, I met some guy today locally because he wants to set up a bitcoin meetup in my area, he's not very techy just interested in coin, he casually mentioned to me he bought a BFL miner and that he plugged the supply into UK mains and blew it and asked if I could help, went and took a look...
Azelphur: turns out he had a BFL SC Single, sitting in the box doing nothing...since November
Azelphur: I still can't believe that just happened
Azelphur: for those not in the know, if he had that running since November, he'd have made about $20k worth of BTC.
Duffer1: did you tell him?
Azelphur: yup
Duffer1: did he cry?
Azelphur: he was just like "Oh well"

mod6: Duffer1: irssi++
mod6: used to use BitchX like 15 years ago or more. finally, after years of people telling me about irssi, switched.
Duffer1: i'm tired of browser IRC, time to get a real program
pankkake: xchat is probably the easiest to start with
mod6: yeah, its nice to get a client running on a *nix host, if for no other reason, you can run it in a screen session and then attach/detach
Mats_cd03: i rather like browser irc, irccloud maintains a persistent connection
Mats_cd03: so its basically screen/irssi without any hassle
Duffer1: but i don't irc anywhere other than my desktop anyways though

mod6: no hassle with nix+screen+irssi ;)
Mats_cd03: yes, i find using terminal on my phone tedious

mod6: get a computer?
