bounce: take a piece of land, try and put a building on it. some places the paperwork can easily take 200+ forms and 10+ years. so people just start to build and rent out the building without bothering with the paperwork. it's a risk, but, you know.

MGK: I like the old man coin too, I just got back from LV about 3 weeks ago and I had to buy a couple.
steven-__: who is that on the old man coin?
cgcardona_: It's a tough one for me because I've not ordered a casasius from anyone other than the source (and then only aluminum ones for promo material alas) so i'm just not sure what I'd do if it wasn't legit (and I promise I'm not calling you a scammer. Just thinking out loud)
MGK: Thats the old man himself!!

mike_c: it is a countermeasure for rectothermal cryptoanalysis.
asciilifeform: partial countermeasure. like a rifle, it only works if fired.
asciilifeform: i can envision folks telling tales of adventure: '... and then i took my C off its safety...'
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ nah, to your raspberi pi wallet
cgcardona_: yea that's what I thought you meant. Just wanted to clarify
mircea_popescu: well, "your". just this idle example you made up obivously.
danielpbarron: i have a piper
danielpbarron: but i got mine last year
danielpbarron: i have since ordered some more rolls of paper and I also have not recieved a confirmation email or shipment
cgcardona_: ok well I guess that's 'good' to hear that someone else hasn't received any confirmation recently.
cgcardona_: at least I know i'm not the only one left hanging.
danielpbarron: i heard the piper guy was at one of the conferences recently
danielpbarron: maybe he's too busy to fill orders
cgcardona_: supply != demand. I smell an opportunity.
danielpbarron: i use it to print 1 mBit slips to hand out
danielpbarron: i had to hack it a little to make it stop printing the ugly extra private key and url at the bottom
danielpbarron: but i'm almost out of paper :<
danielpbarron: it's more annoying to not have the paper than to be ripped off for a little coin
cgcardona_: i'm just erked cause I've been wanting to get my coins off of web wallets. I trust no one at this point pretty much.
danielpbarron: you shouldn't use piper to store large amounts
cgcardona_: blockchain.info is pretty good of course. Coinbase has been all kinds of screwy lately.
danielpbarron: yeah don't keep it on coinbase
danielpbarron: i have had sketchy stuff happen with coinbase recently too
cgcardona_: yea I've been having transactions just get stuck in 'pending' for hours cause of their off blockchain stuff.
cgcardona_: the first time it happened I moved all my coins to blockchain.
cgcardona_: i was like 'sketch balls!'
danielpbarron: i accidently double sent a transaction, luckily to someone I knew irl
cgcardona_: wow. no way.
danielpbarron: it said it didn't go through the first time
danielpbarron: gave me an error
cgcardona_: ah I see
cgcardona_: gotcha
danielpbarron: wasn't showing up on the blockchain
danielpbarron: i sent a test transaction of 1 mBit and it showed up no problem, so i sent the original transaction again
danielpbarron: shared wallets are sketchy
cgcardona_: yep *cue the 'if you don't have the keys you don't have the btc* mantra
danielpbarron: is anybody familiar with ssss-split and ssss-combine ?

decimation: ascii - that sv story is full of lulz
decimation: the woes of the rent controlled apartments in palo alto
decimation: This "U visa" amuses me. Someone foriegner commits a crime - and that suddenly qualifies the victem for a US green card??
decimation: the mind reels
decimation: s/victem/victim/
decimation: Not to mention, there are thousands of other localities where $12 an hour easily pays for housing
decimation: why does she have to living in the middle of SV? So that Elon can get a burrito for $6?
asciilifeform: decimation: these people want servants, but won't pay for the servants' quarters

Mats_cd03: sounds like a great way to accelerate inequality and increase renting
decimation: the real problem is that it makes it impossible to differentiate talented managers of resources from fools who happen to be friends with the bezzle-kings
MisterE: "White House spokesman Jay Carney echoed that sentiment as well, saying, “There is strong evidence suggesting some of these [Eastern Ukrainian] demonstrators were paid.”"
decimation: is the fact that "demonstrators" were paid actually discredit something?
Mats_cd03: ;;later tell mirceau_popescu 'challenge and response' meaning encryption, but more specifically encrypted spread-spectrum signals. many consumer drones are equipped with just wifi or bluetooth, which are comparatively easy to attack
gribble: The operation succeeded.
decimation: both wifi and bluetooh are terrbile for low-latency flight control
Mats_cd03: i don't get it, because RC manufacturers have been doing just fine, and wifi/bt is just idiotic unless you live in the sticks and/or want more bandwidth from the unit
Mats_cd03: for... aerial photography, i guess
decimation: RC transmitters use analog FM, no encryption
decimation: nevermind, apparently in the last few years they have started to use 2.4 GHz DSSS and FHSS
decimation: you will never see rc transmitters with custom crypto because of the Wassenaar Arrangement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassenaar_Arrangement
tg2: most don't use encryption, but some do.
asciilifeform: "Microprocessor microcircuits", "microcomputer microcircuits" and
asciilifeform: microcontroller microcircuits, manufactured from a compound
asciilifeform: semiconductor and operating at a clock frequency exceeding 40 MHz;
asciilifeform: (from wassenaar agreement)
asciilifeform: let's campaign to have this enforced!
asciilifeform: Electro-optical and "optical integrated circuits", designed for "signal
asciilifeform: processing" and having all of the following:
asciilifeform: a. One or more than one internal "laser" diode;
asciilifeform: b. One or more than one internal light detecting element; and
asciilifeform: c. Optical waveguides;
asciilifeform: ---- > your cdrom is banned.
asciilifeform: in fact, taking a laptop on an airplane probably qualifies you for an iternational tribunal as war criminal
asciilifeform: breaking at least 500 of these regulations
artifexd: asciilifeform Can you recommend a reasonably priced hardware rng or an acceptable software rng?
asciilifeform: artifexd: for what purpose?
artifexd: dice rolls. key generation.
asciilifeform: keys to something reasonably valuable?
artifexd: Not right now, but the hope is eventually, yeah.
kakobrekla: rng from cardano clearly.
asciilifeform: i'd be tempted to recommend... mine. but right now i've only a handful of them, and they aren't for sale yet.
asciilifeform: if you live and die by the key, it is worth your time to build your own
asciilifeform: and qualify it
decimation: ascii, of course the bureaucrats love the default to be that everyone is a criminal; you are exempt at their discretion
artifexd: reverse biased diode? geiger counter? Something like that?
asciilifeform: when building rng, consider what is to happen when it fails.
asciilifeform: (does it die silently? what happens to output?)
artifexd: My understanding is that they slowly start generating less random numbers.
asciilifeform: artifexd: rng must be periodically tested
asciilifeform: like any safety-critical system
decimation: nothing can replace analysis by a human brain
artifexd: Is there a standard test?
asciilifeform: there are many
asciilifeform: ;;google diehard rng tests
gribble: Diehard tests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diehard_tests>; The Marsaglia Random Number CDROM including the Diehard ...: <http://stat.fsu.edu/pub/diehard/>; Robert G. Brown's General Tools Page - Duke Physics: <http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder.php>
ozbot: NIST.gov - Computer Security Division - Computer Security Resource Center
asciilifeform: don't be the schmuck who builds rng which throws away batches of bits that fail some test
asciilifeform: (as usg wants you to, see 'fips')
asciilifeform: no prizes for describing what this does to the output, statistically speaking
decimation: one cannot say that it makes the output less predictably, anway
artifexd: What kind of rng will the cardano use?
asciilifeform: the one other useful fact is that entropy of (bad rng) xor (better rng) is equal to that of (better rng)
asciilifeform: though, interestingly, this has not been proven rigoriously.
asciilifeform: *rigorously
asciilifeform: that one.
asciilifeform: based on johnson noise
asciilifeform: the ones in the pic haven't their shields yet.
decimation: ascii surely you aren't going to do all the soldering yourself? are you going to use a production house?
asciilifeform: decimation: for the production run - certainly
asciilifeform: did you actually think i would personally bake every unit ?
decimation: you do have a paranoid streak
asciilifeform: consider the purpose of the product.
Mats_cd03: the gold is nice
decimation: I suppose there is very little that an enemy could do to diddle with it
Mats_cd03: do you think theyll be available for purchase in three months
asciilifeform: decimation: (as i will detail at a later time) i am expecting the supply chain to be fucked with
decimation: thus, the encouragement for personal inspection & analysis, I presume?
asciilifeform: that. and we intend to switch part vendors liberally.
asciilifeform: Mats_cd03: how long it will take to go from blueprints to production line is not yet known to me
asciilifeform: three months sounds like a reasonably safe, pessimistic figure
decimation: what made you choose "hu bei gold phoenix" for the pcb house? cheap?
asciilifeform: i used a different house before
asciilifeform: american
asciilifeform: it was 35x the cost.
asciilifeform: for roughly the same quality.
decimation: surely labor doesn't account for that difference
asciilifeform: it's 'the bezzle' again
asciilifeform: at this point nobody has pcbs made in usa except for military contractors
decimation: chinese bezzle is spent on its production industry
asciilifeform: (even they try to go chinese, when they can get away with it)
asciilifeform: don't believe? visit the web site of any u.s. pcb maker. they're all decorated with pictures of rockets, tanks, etc
decimation: I guess this is why it only costs $1 to ship anything from hong kong
asciilifeform: phoenix ships 'for free' (well, rolled into the price at any rate)
asciilifeform: everything seems to go on the very next flight, straight to where it is supposed to go.
asciilifeform: now, i hesitate to recommend them 'for everyone' - all i've had done there, is very simple boards.
MisterE: hope the delivered quality is acceptable
asciilifeform: nothing in this particular product is the least bit exotic.
decimation: so just like the us is willing to pay "abused" mexicans to live in palo alto, china is willing to pay to host your factory
MisterE: what are you making asciilifeform ?
asciilifeform: MisterE: little widget, co-authored with mircea_popescu
MisterE: out of credits :/
MisterE: cool
decimation: what was your smallest trace pitch? 8 mil?
asciilifeform: as is traditional
MisterE: it's the super small micro traces that can be problemetic eh?
asciilifeform: not only
asciilifeform: there's the occasional 'via' that isn't
decimation: most board houses specify minimums
MisterE: some ICs requiretraces so close it looks insane
asciilifeform: the real bitch is assembly
MisterE: ahh yea
asciilifeform: one can trivially make boards by hand
MisterE: yep
asciilifeform: (i used to. 8 mil and smaller, easy. same process as b&w photography)
MisterE: component insertion is a bitch
asciilifeform: i'd have baked the rng pcbs personally, but on account of them being analogue devices, you can't really characterize them unless you use the same board materials as the final product.
decimation: well, surface mount is a bitch without solder mask
asciilifeform: that too
decimation: well, yeah and the drilling of the holes and inserting of vias would be very difficult by hand on your own board
asciilifeform: i've done it before, when younger and poorer
asciilifeform: but it isn't a good use of time
MisterE: same
MisterE: it's a bitch
decimation: impossible if it's more than 2 layers
decimation: unless you ghetto-stack the boards :)
decimation: did you use orcad or some free cad to design the board? are you a fan of eagle?
