HeySteve: <+mircea_popescu> "Without a hierarchical structure it is not possible to transform freedom from a fable into a fact." <- there should be a science of resilient hierarchical structures which resist corruption and decay. it should draw from historical fact, military tactics and decentralised methods. it should inform a technocratic leadership.

mircea_popescu: why should "professional" exclude flirting ?
mircea_popescu: you should be able to trust your doctor not to be unpleasant, of which you are the only judge. and if you don't like him go to another. which is why the free market is important.

moiety: asking someone who is crying about their daddy issues to suck your dick isn't flirting tho
mircea_popescu: a doctor shouldn't have to follow some ultimately absurd behaviour guidelines, because he's an adult, and a patient should not have to depend that the doctor does follow such, or that they're adequate, because he has no options.
mircea_popescu: no argument there.
mircea_popescu: but the problem is he sucked, basically.
moiety: bottom line. ^ yeah
fluffypony: or that he *wanted* to be sucked
mircea_popescu: ends up generally misrepresented as "well the problem is he propositioned her". nonsense. the problem is he apparently has the discernment of a five year old.
moiety: i did have a female doctor who a patient leave her caseload because she was seen out at a pub on a weekend, which was ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean... patient's call.
mircea_popescu: i know women who won't use a male gyn, to their detriment, as male gyns are usually better. but hey, her lyf, her call.
moiety: thats often a comfort thing
moiety: and yeah we switched around doctors whenever the patients wanted
mircea_popescu: kinda why the male gyns are better, too. they don't have one so it's scary on some level.
moiety: male midwives get a hard time too

kakobrekla: since you are here fluffypony , re this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=587244.msg6434861#msg6434861
kakobrekla: you might as well link them: http://trilema.com/2013/the-best-investments-in-the-history-of-bitcoin/
fluffypony: kakobrekla: I've actually got another blog post that is just waiting for April results, I'll include a link to that in it
kakobrekla: aha
pankkake: it even mentions AsicMiner, so humble of MP
fluffypony: kakobrekla: does blogs.bitcoin-assets.com auto-update or is it manual?
pankkake: I'm the one running it
fluffypony nearly said manul and was waiting for moiety to show up
pankkake: and it's every 37 minutes or so
fluffypony: oic oic
pankkake: I might do it more, I didn't want to hammer your blogs too much, but it's actually quite smart (it checks the last modified date of the rss if it can provide one)
pankkake: next step is a bot to notify of new posts
fluffypony: nice
fluffypony: maybe assbot should poll the rss feed to watch for changes?
kakobrekla: pankkake do you run a cronjob there or is that site built on the fly
kakobrekla: ah right
pankkake: it's a cron, so everything is static
kakobrekla: 37 minuts
kakobrekla should read moar
pankkake: it was 42 minutes. I'm changing to 7 :)
kakobrekla: well how about you post a new post notification to me?
pankkake: I'm looking at how I can do that with venus (the tool I use to build blogs.b-a). the sending to irc part is easy, I already have a dumb bot for that
pankkake: otherwise I'll do it with a RSS parser I know, which already handles the "is this thing new" aspect
pankkake: but if I can avoid polling myself…
kakobrekla: i can make assbot polll

fluffypony: yeah, I love how at the end he's like "I'm going to litecointalk!"
fluffypony: as if that's a bastion of legitimacy :-P

HeySteve: people should start with businesses they can achieve with their own resources
pankkake: that crumbs guy is a hero
HeySteve: seeking funding for My First Bizniz is not credible

gribble: mod6 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 12 hours, 20 minutes, and 20 seconds ago: <mod6> thx artifexd :)
Naphex: so in my offtime i'm implementing a decent notification system in bitcoin core
Naphex: and i was getting into posting the messages and thinking
Naphex: for a first implementation do notification with:
Naphex: A. UNIX Socket / Local Socket - Connect to it, start broadcasting notifications
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SF2] 410 @ 0.001 = 0.41 BTC
Naphex: B. JSON-NP Callbacks - For easier integration with current systems
Naphex: whats that? - first look is just watch only
kakobrekla: arent you doing watch only notif
artifexd: Naphex: If you're interested, conformal's btcd already has websockets available and extending it is almost trivial.
Naphex: artifexd: thanks, but implementing this in bitcoin core.
Naphex: for the exchange i use something else entierly
Naphex: this is not related, just offtime stuff
Naphex: i wouldn't do websockets in it, too much overhead for bitcoin
artifexd: Have fun and good luck
Naphex: what's the luck for?:P
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: this is where I slap you
thestringpuller: in all seriousness you shouldn't haven't have a full wallet on a computer
thestringpuller: generate addresses offline print them on paper
thestringpuller: send coins to the paper wallets
thestringpuller: store wallets in safety deposit boxes
thestringpuller: with backups in europe and asia
thestringpuller: maybe have your most trusted body guard/head of security hold one
artifexd: thestringpuller: You are describing cold storage. It sounds like danielpbarron is looking for warm storage.
artifexd: Cold, warm, hot. They all have their place.
thestringpuller: lol you want to sign a transaction offline then transmit it to the nodes whenever?
thestringpuller: isn't there trusted software for that by now?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SF2] 134 @ 0.001 = 0.134 BTC
dexX7: hmm.. so gribble and assbot had some troubles identifying me with another nick: http://dpaste.com/1801925/
Naphex: danielpbarron: linux would be fine, but make sure you don't run other stuff
Naphex: and keep it clean and bare
Naphex: i'd go with gentoo, but whatever is fine
Naphex: whatever you can install the cleanest
Naphex: make sure you use filesystem encryption as well
thestringpuller: freebsd?
Naphex: to ward off any physical attacks like physical hdd theft
fluffypony: OpenBSD
thestringpuller: ask mod6 bout dat
Naphex: you can use whatever you want, except windows
Naphex: but keep it clean, and only run what you need - bare
dexX7: anyway. Naphex: i did only follow the last lines, so i'm not 100 % sure, if your intention is clear to me -- if you are looking for a simple solution to establish some kind of "bitcoin based event notification system", you may use the (redirected) debug output as basis which could be parsed and processed further
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [RENT] 400 @ 0.0075 = 3 BTC [+]
Naphex: firewall with blacklist everything, only whitelist what you know
Naphex: and make sure you only accept validated messages, before hitting your software
Naphex: dexX7: yes but i want something more clear cut, that can scale
kakobrekla: dexX7 yea taht could be fixed but it would break the neatness of the design :)
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14457 @ 0.00096643 = 13.9717 BTC [-] {2}
Naphex: danielpbarron: dexX7 i'm thinking like listen to a port/unix socket
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16889 @ 0.00096524 = 16.3019 BTC [-] {3}
dexX7: as source for the data?
Naphex: connect to it, and broadcast notifications through it
dexX7: aka you want to rebuild a bitcoin client?
Naphex: either that or in reverse, where it connects to a aggregate server, and that just runs pubsub
Naphex: yes i forked current master, and 0.9.1
dexX7: mind to share a link?
Naphex: its private atm, not on any service. just dirty git clone
Naphex: i will when there is something working
Naphex: even if its not final version
Naphex: but what i'm thinking is just a notification system for BitcoinD clusters, track txid's, addresses and confirmations
thestringpuller: Naphex: like what?
thestringpuller: offline wallet can't touch net even on firewall part
thestringpuller: you can't trust the TCP/IP stack
Naphex: uh, what's that related to?
Naphex: for notifications?
thestringpuller: for anything
thestringpuller: the firewall shouldn't talk to other machines with your "airgapped" software
thestringpuller: cause what you're describing is a semi-permeable airgap
dexX7: ah np, just trying to understand your approach. at which point do you fetch and process incoming information?
Naphex: thestringpuller: there are hot wallets and cold ones
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SF2] 360 @ 0.001 = 0.36 BTC
Naphex: if your hot wallet serves based on verified, signed messages, wheter HMAC or whatever, i'd say its pretty fine.
thestringpuller: depends on the transaction volume
Naphex: you trust the sig
Naphex: thestringpuller: for example, current hot wallet software
Naphex: won't accept any messages, whatever the source or trust
Naphex: if the user's OTP is not valid
Naphex: now OTP can be, Email / YubiKey -> GPG, Bitcoin signature
Naphex: now the users have that secret, so an intruder couldn't do much without user secrets
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [ALC] 1 @ 0.14 BTC
Naphex: even if an attackers gets through mostly everything undetected
Naphex: its a dead end
thestringpuller: so you keep the keyring hot?
thestringpuller: that's all that matters
Naphex: only the hot wallets
thestringpuller: uh no
Naphex: which are hot by design
thestringpuller: there is an implementation of hot wallets that don't require the key ring to touch the internet
Naphex: for incoming or outgoing?
thestringpuller: outgoing
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [MS] 193 @ 0.0013501 = 0.2606 BTC [+]
Naphex: so you want to sign transactions offline?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [MS] 540 @ 0.00135202 = 0.7301 BTC [+]
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SF2] 1030 @ 0.001 = 1.03 BTC {2}
thestringpuller: why wouldn't you?
Naphex: why would i when i want a hot instant wallet?
thestringpuller: why do you want a hot instant wallet?
Naphex: so clients can withdraw in an instant
Naphex: they want it too
thestringpuller: ...
thestringpuller: this is where I rage quit like pankkake
Naphex: :))
Naphex: look, you can secure servers and keep stuff secure. now i'm not saying run everything hot
Naphex: but you can always keep i.e 10 BTC out of 1000 HOT
Naphex: and run everything else cold, you can even run deposits cold
Naphex: but wait 5mins on a withdrawal, and you're gonna get an email
Naphex: after a phone call
thestringpuller: no you're not
thestringpuller: mpex investors have to wait sometimes up to 24hours for withdrawals
mike_c: hm, JD seems to be down.
pankkake: thestringpuller: :o)
Naphex: thestringpuller: well thats their priviledge
Naphex: mean while, Joe Giner wants his 0.2 btc that he just bought out now
Naphex: so he can do whatever with it
thestringpuller: Joe Giner isn't worth a security breach
Naphex: maybe buy some Google Play Giftcards
pankkake: if the machine is really offline even Windows ME should be fine!
pankkake: good point
Naphex: thestringpuller: honestly if you have a well designed system, that gets breached and you get ninja'd out of the 10 hotwallet BTC
Naphex: it was probably worth it
Naphex: and you can get it out of your pocket
thestringpuller: no, it wasn't
thestringpuller: MPEx has lost 0 BTC of investor funds.
thestringpuller: please direct me to another facility of such high standards.
Naphex: i haven't lost 1 satoshi yet
benkay: "yet"
Naphex: well put it like this
Naphex: the most sophisticated attacker, will need user secrets to get whatever they have
Naphex: or break HMAC-SHA256
thestringpuller: or they can dump unencrypted memory with a 0 day exploit you have no idea about yet trust your system completely
thestringpuller: because you've audited all 100% of the code oyu're running
Naphex: they can't
Naphex: server can only get clean, hard messages
Naphex: everything else gets dunked a long way from there
benkay: tbh it's an arch i'm interested in, Naphex
benkay: what does the message look like?
Naphex: MESSAGE-DATA:UUID:SIGNATURE:OTP
Naphex: for example
Naphex: TIMESTAMP/MICRO:MESSAGE-DATA:UUID:SIGNATURE:OTP
Naphex: forgot that :P
Naphex: signature is hmac-sha256 with secret, from field 1 to uuid
pankkake: you never know where security bugs are
Naphex: OTP - is otp released to the client, by levels email yubikey/gpg/ - whatever
Naphex: messages will only be fowarded by firewalls/load balancers/proxy whatever. only if valid clean message
Naphex: so lets say, max length 120, valid checksum, valid message
benkay: are you just eval'ing those funcalls when you get 'em?
Naphex: then server checks signature, then checks otp
Naphex: i have state-full firewalls that know the protocol before
Naphex: and they check and validate the protocol and messages before
Naphex: just to make sure they are clean, and no 0 day can travell till the end
mike_c: mpex actually did lose some investor funds according to rota :)
thestringpuller: mike_c: good point ;) man that was a long time ago
asciilifeform: gotta ask, what's the basis for trusting 'yubikey' ?
Naphex: asciilifeform: i trust them mostly, but the security level is chosen by the client. so if client trusts yubi, then it trusts yubi validation servers
Naphex: i will soon be implementing GPG OTP
Naphex: so there
asciilifeform: the hardware.
asciilifeform: afaik - as closed as it gets
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.70729420 BTC to 7`514 shares, 36030 satoshi per share
Naphex: i'd recommend the system over gauth
Naphex: and you don't have to keep the secret keys for it
asciilifeform: Naphex: what can we tell from this marketing brochure?
asciilifeform: i see no description of the internals.
Naphex: of the hardware?
asciilifeform: correct
Naphex: doubt their open
asciilifeform: they're not.
Naphex: but the software is, and there are some yubi software generators around
thestringpuller: what's the point of 2 factor?
asciilifeform: the hardware makes a promise.
asciilifeform: we cannot see if the promise is kept
jurov: thestringpuller: mpex did lose few bitcoins due to human errors, don't paint mp as saint
jurov: manual process does have disavantages, too
thestringpuller: true but far less than say bitcoinica
Naphex: i use a yubikey neo, and i'm pretty happy with it
Naphex: i don't place maxtrust on it
Naphex: but it's a level above
Naphex: don't place maxtrust(TM) on anything though :)
asciilifeform: it's never a question of 'maxtrust'
asciilifeform: for instance, what measures, if any, against 'differential power analysis' in yubikey?
fluffypony: on the topic of SeedCoin: http://bitcoin-betting-guide.com/james-cannings-blog/seedcoin-fund-i-update-no-gocoin-what-next/
asciilifeform: the closed aspect suggests, 'none'
jurov: thestringpuller: burnside (of btct) trolled coinbr hard, because mpex keys are online
jurov: but they must be somehow online for ppl to be able to trade
thestringpuller: offline/online
benkay: fluffypony: you missed the conversation where we mocked sfi for just listing a bunch of other people's projects on their havelock page.
thestringpuller: sorry misreading your sentence
pankkake: well, GPG allows you to be partially online
fluffypony: benkay: yeah the whole thing is a joke
Naphex: asciilifeform: are you sugesting DPA could be use in retriving yubikey secret?
pankkake: unless it signs with the main key
Naphex: which you would need to generate a valid otp
asciilifeform: Naphex: for instance.
fluffypony: benkay: did you see their reply to my TagPesa questions? they're all shock and horror that I suggested that institutional investors and even casual observers aren't impressed with them
kakobrekla: mike_c : http://bit4x.com/panacea/history/ < dis ok? note the csv url is different nao
benkay: i saw something to the effect in the logs. tbqf i don't in2 drama.
asciilifeform: a closed gadget suggests that there is something to be gained from learning what has been kept closed.
mike_c: kakobrekla: perfect, thanks.
Naphex: asciilifeform: https://www.emsec.rub.de/media/crypto/veroeffentlichungen/2014/02/04/paper_yubikey_sca.pdf apperantly it got sca'd some time ago
Naphex: Having discovered the security problem, before publication, we contacted the
asciilifeform: there we go.
Naphex: vendor Yubico as mentioned before. Yubico acknowledged our results and has
Naphex: taken measures to mitigate the security issues. We examined an updated firmware
Naphex: (version 2.4) and found that our attacks do not apply to this improved version.
Naphex: so yeah they had to tape the button
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9573 @ 0.0009692 = 9.2782 BTC [+]
asciilifeform: interesting lack of detail about vendor's response.
Naphex: there is a response bit more down
Naphex: something about NEO and STANDARD were unaffected because OATH
asciilifeform: that's a response?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SF2] 405 @ 0.001 = 0.405 BTC
Naphex: guess so, still.. you'd still need the button pressed
Naphex: or taped
Naphex: so a backdoor /trojan wouldn't get it without a huge sample size
Naphex: i'm not trumpeting yubikey, but i don't know of a better OTP atm
asciilifeform: nothing to do with trojans
asciilifeform: the device comes with not one but two gestures of bad faith
asciilifeform: i.e. - close,
asciilifeform: and undertakes to solve a problem to which there can be no solution
asciilifeform: *closed
Naphex: well, i just use it as a solution for OTP without handling private keys
asciilifeform: you're still handling private keys
Naphex: for GAuth you gotta transport the secret to the user
asciilifeform: just in a box
asciilifeform: that is decorated with alchemical symbols, in order to seem impenetrable to naive buyer
Naphex: you're not handling the private keys since you can just check yubico servers
asciilifeform: you gotta transport the secret to the user << did i wake up today in a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ?
Naphex: you only need client's pubkey
Naphex: asciilifeform: still protecting Gauth secret ruins the whole point
Naphex: if i have to deliver DH/GPG secret to the client for GAuth
Naphex: to just have it on the phone / or cached or who knows what
Naphex: i'd just stop ther eand request gpg auth:P
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3572 @ 0.0009692 = 3.462 BTC [+]
asciilifeform: take minute to think, what is yubi hiding, when refusing to publish the design ?
Naphex unplugs yubikey out :)
Naphex: well - a completly open OTP token, with hardware for sale would make a killin'
Naphex: i'd buy one

pankkake: ;;rate asciilifeform 1 makes the best tinfoil hats
gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating for user asciilifeform has changed from 1 to 1.
asciilifeform: Naphex: 'cardano' could in principle be used as 'token.' but you gotta understand the difference between what yubi promises and what honest people can actually physically achieve
asciilifeform: ed felten's words, 'try to make a safe that can be left in burglar's living room' sums up the issue
benkay: what does yubi nominally promise?
asciilifeform: benkay: it promises that a private key can be sent in the post, left plugged in at wiring closet, etc. without danger.
benkay: hue
benkay: I WOULD LIKE A CARDANO PLZ
diametric: me too
Naphex: for me it promises a OTP, from the user. which i can validate without holding a secret
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [COG] 32 @ 0.00709698 = 0.2271 BTC [-] {5}
asciilifeform: Naphex: what i'm trying to get across is that a fellow with yubikey in his pocket is, in fact, 'holding a secret'
Naphex: and OTP just removes the risk of insider/intrusion that can just spam hotwallet servers or trade messages with withdrawals
asciilifeform: even if a con artist has fooled him into thinking otherwise
Naphex: asciilifeform: i'm talking from a server end point, i don't have to keep user secret. just public key
Naphex: so user gives me yubi pub key, and then shoots OTP
Naphex: i validate OTP against yubiservers
asciilifeform: since no one groks, looks like i'll have to 'draw a picture.'
asciilifeform: extraction of yubi internal key by the postman isn't the only interesting scenario
asciilifeform: vendor has the key.
asciilifeform: does he need to? the way it is designed - yes
artifexd: If it makes a difference, yubikey's internal slots are client writable.
Naphex: true, but my risk is still reduced, that an attacker/breacher would have to have private keys leaked, have user secrets, and have user email, and penetrate hard within infrastructure without detection, to nab some satoshi from the hot wallet
asciilifeform: likewise, given closed design, user has no way of knowing if yubi tosses a few bits of key into each signature nonce
asciilifeform: etc
benkay: can't vet the thing's behavior, artifexd. might as well be squirting things written to those slots back home.
Naphex: some risk reduction is worth it, even if not bulletproof in all theoretical/practical/NSA cases
asciilifeform: you don't need an army and navy to pwn yubi users. just a little bit of cooperation from the vendor.
Naphex: at least some 0 day or insider, or whatever breaches deep enough to issue withdrawal messages
asciilifeform: in that respect, it is exactly like other seekoority snake oil products.
Naphex: it still needs that stuff to do damage
artifexd: The point was that, instead of reading the key, an attacker could put his own key in there since he supposedly has access to the device prior to the client getting it. Also, the client could generate and insert is own keys thus destroying the attacker's advantage.
Naphex: you don't have to go that deep
artifexd: That may, or may not, invalidate the ability to use yubikey's servers though. I don't know.
asciilifeform: all of the traditional crapola is present. enforced and perpetual dependence on the vendor, for example.
kakobrekla: gox loaded yubis with their keys so the keys were locked to gox use only
Naphex: you can just realtime phish or sniff/block otp
Naphex: but that attack needs to be targeted
Naphex: and gox had the keys
asciilifeform: fact is, any secret key generated outside of your home should be assumed to be in enemy hands at birth.
Naphex: of course
benkay: all of a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party.
Naphex: said signer can still leak his keyphrase and key
Naphex: so..
benkay: not holding party's problem, though.
asciilifeform: yubi, by all indications, is designed to resist any attempt to determine whether it leaks key. therefore i must assume that it does.
artifexd: benkay If the yubikey registers as a keyboard, how can it access the network?
artifexd: It can certainly be loaded on an airgapped machine.
Naphex: artifexd: you touch the button, it types the OTP
artifexd: Yeah. I have several.
Naphex: ah sorry, i missread
artifexd: benkay suggested that the yubikey could phone home (or any attacker) with the new contents if it were reloaded. I was questioning that.
Naphex: ah, i doubt it. unless their personalization tool phones home, but doubt that
benkay: artifexd: i don't know enough about the thing. it pretends to be a keyboard, though? sounds like a lot of unexaminable dependencies.
artifexd: And even if it did, run it on an airgapped machine.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 20383 @ 0.0009692 = 19.7552 BTC [+]
benkay: so yubi is a signing thing? what are these yubi servers an implementer talks to?
benkay: it sounds weird and i don't trust it.
benkay: contrast with transparency of...gnu privacy guard.
artifexd: Similar to the transparency of... openssl?
benkay: bedrock of public crypto...known shitburger. great comparison.
artifexd: Open source compared to open source. The point is that being open doesn't make something trustworthy.
benkay: however being closed does make a thing impossible to trust.
benkay: this goes back to the problem of trust in the wot. openssl, pirate...ask anyone who knows things what they think of the two.
benkay: hey, guys: which is less likely to leak? openssl or gpg?
benkay: the comparison is not made on the basis of openness, rather by asking professionals and the experienced what their opinions are and why they are that.
Naphex: for me its still about risk reduction
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 3 @ 0.06566806 = 0.197 BTC [-] {2}
Naphex: attacker needs username, password, otp(yubi,gpg), email for approving a withdrawal

thestringpuller: 4*

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not only this, but they write the key. ergo, they have the key.
asciilifeform: somehow this concept is 'rocket surgery' to people.
fluffypony: it's still a sight better than "password + birthday = secure password"
asciilifeform: may as well say that it beats being dragged behind a truck until nothing remains on the rope but a tattered thread of skin.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> you gotta transport the secret to the user << did i wake up today in a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ? << no, you woke up in a parallel universe where microsoft is still a business model.
mircea_popescu: not THAT paralel.
asciilifeform: lul
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> asciilifeform: i'm talking from a server end point, i don't have to keep user secret. just public key <<< see, there. that's the value proposition : it allows the operator to say "sorry, fuck you" to the user in terms that are socially acceptable,
mircea_popescu: unlike the bitbet style, which while being exactly the same thing, is socially unacceptable.
mircea_popescu: artifexd> That may, or may not, invalidate the ability to use yubikey's servers though. I don't know. << afaik blowing their key does make it unable to use the servers, because you see, the true beauty of stupidty : they actually narrow the keyspace (significantly) to make their product vendor-lockedin
mircea_popescu: ie, not all keys work, key has to satisfy magic yubikey criteria on top of entropy
pankkake: lol
pankkake: oh was that why the mtgox keys worked only with mtgox?
mircea_popescu: <benkay> all of a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party. << welcome to... 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake yup.
artifexd: The code to run a yubikey server is open source so you, I, or anyone is welcome to swap out the key and run their own server.
mircea_popescu: they used same principle, except (afaik) even shittier implementation
mircea_popescu: reduced space even more
pankkake: that's like the password things that require you to have "at least one number, one capitalized letter, one symbol"
mircea_popescu: kinda worse, tbh
mircea_popescu: <benkay> hey, guys: which is less likely to leak? openssl or gpg? << gpg may still have a bug or two in there.
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> we are planning on reaching regular folks as well << tbh, as long as you ernestly offer the strong version, nobody can hold it against you that you also offer a convenient version.
mircea_popescu: as long as the user can choose, you're scott free.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> they got their mistakes out of the way with SF1. You need to jump on SF2, it's going to the moon. << i forget, what was the eventual return on that thing ?
mircea_popescu: <midnightmagic> (aside from weak keygen) << and aside from planted holes.

mircea_popescu: mike_c ah, almost worse than dr foreskin
mircea_popescu: fluffypony they'll buy virtual mining shares.
fluffypony: hah hah
mircea_popescu: this concept where they return the investment is obviously too much for teh forum.
artifexd: mircea_popescu: What is the way in which purchasers of f.mpif are expecting to make money? Increase in nav? Dividends?
pankkake: my last encounter with jimmothy points to that :/
mircea_popescu: artifexd well substantially, my thinking is that one does not simply kill berkshire, one also makes a replacement. if one's polite, at least.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [ALC] 900 @ 0.14 = 126 BTC
mircea_popescu: so in general, the share should appreciate through tracking its nav.
artifexd: That implies that you do not expect to issue regular dividends. Correct?
mircea_popescu: dividends will happen if there's no rational use of capital comensurate with historical gains, so if the thing makes ~10% pa for a while, and there's no way to beat that, i'd start distributing capital
pankkake: it's in the blog post iirc
mircea_popescu: artifexd correct. it even says as much.
mircea_popescu: " It may pay a dividend during any period I determine this expedient, but there is no promise of monthly dividend (nor does such a thing make any sense whatsoever, for most companies)."
artifexd: Well. Crap. I hate asking questions when the answer is in black and white.
mircea_popescu: eh no big deal, you don't have a charged history.
mircea_popescu: everyone can get away with a few.
pankkake: no one should be blamed for tl;dring trilema
mircea_popescu: anyway : because i actually included pc5 explicitly, the share actually has a clear mechanism to track nav pretty closely.
mircea_popescu: this i personally regard as a structural and significant improvement over berkshire.
fluffypony: hah hah pankkake
pankkake: there's no public nav for berkshire?
fluffypony: I normally have to gloss over Trilema posts 5 or 6 times before I remember what it was about
Namworld: Returning the investment is not something that the forum can digest you say? So if I complete repaying all my lenders, all hell will break loose on the forum?
fluffypony: Namworld: I think the world will come to the end
mircea_popescu: pankkake eh i wouldn't go as far as that
pankkake: fluffypony: I'll eventually make a script to put them on my ereader. maybe I'll read them all then
mircea_popescu: Namworld in a word, yes.
mircea_popescu: pankkake see, the problem is you don't fly enough.
Namworld: Seems like a good reason to not give up then.
mircea_popescu: i know at least a dozen people who read trilema while travelling. catch up with a month's worth on an intercontinental flight
pankkake: I have had some productivity streaks while on the train
pankkake: that's actually why I don't mind long *comfortable* travel over short inconfortable
mircea_popescu: btw, what's the worst time to have a productive streak ?
fluffypony: on the toilet
mircea_popescu: when you're riding a bird.
pankkake: I usually solve problems when peeing
mircea_popescu: (scottish bird = girl)
fluffypony: lol
mircea_popescu: btw, what's with the brony power puff nick ?
mircea_popescu: faghaters were inquiring earlier.

mrstickball: 100% APY
mircea_popescu: "this one time, in band camp..."
mrstickball: pretty vague stuff, wondering if its a ponzi
fluffypony: I worked at this IT company, and there were these two cute sales girls (literally the only two decent looking people at the company)
fluffypony: and they were known as fluffy puppy and fluffy bunny
fluffypony: never asked why
fluffypony: at any rate, we went on a team building weekend away
fluffypony: got slaughter-house drunk with them whilst the nerds went to sleep
fluffypony: and they decided to give me a nick name
mircea_popescu: before or after the oral sex ?
fluffypony: so in the wee hours of a debaucherus night/morning they decided my nick name would be fluffy horse
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: inbetween and all around
artifexd: Isn't that known as "fluffing"?
fluffypony: artifexd: that came up as part of the convo that night ;)
mircea_popescu: is this story a subtle suggestion you've got a nigger hose ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: *wink*
fluffypony: anyway, I thought fluffy horse "sounded gay"
mircea_popescu: don't wink at me, i don't twink that way
fluffypony: and they thought "fluffy pony" was much better
fluffypony: which was "lol funny joke"
mircea_popescu: lol o i c, fluffy pony is less gay. right. what'd you drink, paint thinner ?
pankkake: maybe in an ironic way
fluffypony: till they started calling me fluffypony and FP in emails and at Friday afternoon drinks
fluffypony: and it stuck
mircea_popescu: well cool story brony.
mircea_popescu: glad i asked.
fluffypony: well it's better than some of my nicknames in the 90s
fluffypony: I think I was death-0ver0rd on Dalnet for like a year
mircea_popescu: artifexd fluffing is when a youngish girl that aspires to one day make money from porn tries her inept damdest to get up the overworked penis of some druggie pronstar guy

mikaeldice: I'd like to see bitcoin companies start using a more transparent accounting system that's more detailed than the blockchain. It wouldn't really cut down on fraud, but it might make the incompetent more noticeable and accountable.
mircea_popescu: mikaeldice http://trilema.com/2013/accounting-for-the-nonzero-asset-corporation-the-mpex-standard/

benkay: fluffypony: wouldn't simply signing with the addr key suffice?
mircea_popescu: that's the accounting standard, bitcoin companies do use it, etc.

decimation: The Law Of Merited Impossibility is an epistemological construct governing the paradoxical way overclass opinion makers frame the discourse about the clash between religious liberty and gay civil rights.

decimation: loltron: http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/cryptologic_quarterly/NSA_Culture.pdf : "NSA will undoubtly have to keep staying agile, valuing qualifications (even if on paper), speed, productivity and decisiveness, while acknowledging the need for accuracy, expertise and informed decisions."
decimation: sounds like bureau-speak for "we hire idiots and they produce nothing"
asciilifeform: decimation: 100% hand
asciilifeform: did you hire that out << must be joking
decimation: hehe I figured not
decimation: what software did you use for the design? your choice is either crap open source or crap $$$
asciilifeform: combination of both
decimation: years ago I did some hand routing with orcad. It made me feel like a money trapped in a traveling salesman's trunk
decimation: s/money/monkey/
asciilifeform: i've yet to meet an autorouter 'worth the electrons it's printed on'
asciilifeform: but perhaps this is because i don't do winblows
decimation: weirdly all of the "good" EE design packages are winblows only
decimation: there is a weird divorce in culture between EE's who build hardware and EE's who touch software
asciilifeform: it was never entirely clear to me what makes these 'good'
asciilifeform: well ok, they'll calculate meanders for HF circuits.
asciilifeform: whooptydoo
decimation: ascii have you ever used 'qucs'? I played with it a little bit and found it to be pretty neat
asciilifeform: decimation: sure
asciilifeform: the only weirdo analogue piece in my current work is the rng, and, as you might expect, it doesn't simulate.
decimation: yeah I would think not
asciilifeform: (well, technically, sure it does. but to no useful end)
decimation: I assume that you aren't clocking the thing very high either?
asciilifeform: nope.
asciilifeform: what'd be the point
decimation: there would be no point, other than to make yourself work harder
decimation: http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/WP002-100405-energycons.pdf Greenarrays has an app note: how to emulate a C machine on top of your asynchronous stack machines
asciilifeform: folks expecting to play 'doom' on cardano will be disappointed.

decimation: apparently it is popular to prototype the greenarrays chips on a "schmart board": http://www.schmartboard.com/
decimation: basically you tack the qfn down and then use a really fine tipped soldering iron to "push" the solder in little grooves up under the chip
asciilifeform: one day i'll actually get a hold of a greenarrays
decimation: supposedly it works, but it sounds a little hokey to me
asciilifeform: decimation: generally i do paste+reflow
decimation: yeah that sounds much simpler
decimation: that usually implies some cleanup too, but if you have a well-made board with good mask and clean contacts you are usually okay (surface tension of liquid metal is miraculous)
asciilifeform: mask, gold contacts.
asciilifeform: one can apply paste with stencil, or with pump, or even... toothpick. but this subject is beaten to death elsewhere.
asciilifeform: (chinese paste pump, about 100 usd)
decimation: I used a syringe, but it got really messy
asciilifeform: paste pump consists of the very same syringe, but farts out puffs of air of controlled volume
asciilifeform: (in place of plunger)
decimation: so you get a little blob instead?
asciilifeform: correct
asciilifeform: little box, control dial, pedal, two hoses (one to compressor, one to syringe)
decimation: sounds legit. so you have a hot air rework station too I presume?
asciilifeform: sure

asciilifeform: a hot air tube is
asciilifeform: 'nt terribly good for reflow, though
asciilifeform: i use an ordinary electric hob.
asciilifeform: (plus ir thermometer)
asciilifeform: steel anvil as heat spreader
decimation: what about the traditional modifed toaster oven?
asciilifeform: but, there is no shortage of material re: how to do this.
asciilifeform: decimation: no oven. space constraints. perhaps in new flat.
asciilifeform: generally, when making a few prototypes of something, simple tools suffice.
decimation: yeah I think the electric hob would give more control anyway
