mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr as in for a living.
PantyHotOffThePr: As in everyday activities, or in relation to tits? :P Just testin' the waters, felt like being a lil adventurous so I created that reddit account.
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr so what do you do, other than reddit ?
asciilifeform: Xplosionist: the url contains just a random turd, encrypted to your pgp key. gribble wants the value of the turd, when it gets it - you're authed.
asciilifeform: Xplosionist: simple: first, ';;gpg eauth yourname' - then, 'wget -q -O - http://bitcoin-otc.com/otps/YOURKEYID | gpg -q --output - --decrypt' and paste result into ';;eauth resultgoeshere' (msg to gribble)
mircea_popescu: but not tell them anythng about it :D
mircea_popescu: maybe be a total asshole and give them btc for xmas IF THEY SHOW YOU THE POSTER
Xplosionist: I'm reading http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/GPG_authentication. There are a few examples, and it's hard to follow, but I rememebr last week following the one that said to paste the response to some site (pastebin or the like) and use said url to verify.
nubbins`: if you're leaving them in rental units, they're essentially disposable. straight in the trash on day one. not much use laminating
Xplosionist: k, then I have to paste the results into some url, rather than to gribble. Bleah. k.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` what do you figure, best to what, laminate them ?
mircea_popescu: it's a deal then.
gribble: Error: For identification purposes, you must be authenticated to use the rating system.
mircea_popescu: !up the20year
mircea_popescu: let's see if something can be worked out here. nubbins` would you design a great A4 "what is bitcoin" poster ? and if he does, the20year would you put one in every unit ?
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr ok, put 477ad8a6 on your tits, take a pic. here's a good example for you : http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2014#744684
assbot: overview for PantyHotOffThePress
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: parody article << 'rather than dayjobs you talk about people needing to be “hungry and desperate” and stuff like that connotes to me this very strong emotional' << as if this had to go from emotion. 'people need to be hungry and desperate' is as much a technical statement as 'million volt bus bars must be spaced at least one metre apart.'
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr ok, so got a link to your prev work ?
mircea_popescu: the20year that's nice for sure. but seems these are different demos

ThickAsThieves: mp likes to make it hard to understand things, luckily he also likes explaining them
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr well this has actualy been discussed, in the logs. let's see here.
mircea_popescu: can be something as simple as a "Here's what Bitcoin is" leaflet left in the units.
the20year: Not yet, but we're planning on it, the big thing to get people into BTC will be our investor relation system that's coming up
nubbins`: the "yo" is a reasonably enough segue
PantyHotOffThePr: Well that would be me as well, I just figured I'd eyeball a bit first. Seemed there was a discussion going on and I didn't want to be the asshole that just jumps in like "Yo, tit pic sale?"
mircea_popescu: the20year hey, do you have a bitcoin education tenant program ?
nubbins`: 12 hours later, lady from the folk festival emails asking for a quote ;(
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr a nm, just keeping an eye for the people trying to sell me their tit pics.
PantyHotOffThePr: Oh sorry, was lurkin then looked at another tab. What up?
nubbins`: so i was out postering yesterday. i see these digitally-printed posters for the folk festival, all the toner is flaked and peeling off, absolute shit prints

ThickAsThieves: i'm surprised Havelock still has the volume it does
BingoBoingo: the20year: Well maybe it's people shorting Lebron?
benkay: i wonder what the discount's due to: inevitable price increases or trading on havelock?
mike_c: benkay: you stuck an extra 0 in there
the20year: I'd have to dig up the BF round numbers since i can't remember them offhand, but havelock was around 525btc
benkay: what was the sum of your rounds in btc?
the20year: Well, in the sense we collected 100% of rents by 5th of month (Which is good for the holiday being the 4th).
benkay: wow the20year how's it going?
BingoBoingo: !up PantyHotOffThePr
BingoBoingo: !up the20year
punkman: they are already releasing new games in "episodes", add some live actors in the mix, sounds like a goldmine
mircea_popescu: next up, "why do people stop fucking women after marrying them"
punkman: I wonder why the live-footage game genre kinda disappeared after it actually became affordable
mircea_popescu: is this the guy that failed horribly a year or so ago ?
punkman: oh look they kickstarted another Tex Murphy game, http://www.texmurphy.com/

danielpbarron: the only asset on counterparty with a realistic market cap
assbot: The Kingdom of Loathing
danielpbarron: it's an asset backed by the in-game currency of http://kingdomofloathing.com/
danielpbarron wouldn't know as he avoided most of the actual events
danielpbarron: I was talking to the guy about how none of the popular Bitcoin news sources focus on real security
danielpbarron: yeah, I got they feeling Bitcoin magazine is like all those podcasts out there; they want the listeners to give them free content for them to advertize over
mircea_popescu: pretty sure by now pankkake's rss reader has more readership than the bitcoin magazine anyway.
mircea_popescu: if you have something you want published, either work with someone who already has a blog, and do a guest
danielpbarron: I'm guessing that any article worth reading wouldn't get accepted by their staff
mircea_popescu: then you probably shouldn't.
mircea_popescu: are you looking for one in the field of trade rags ?
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, not at the moment
danielpbarron: so someone from Bitcoin magazine gave me his business card at porcfest and told me they might publish an article if I write one for them; should I even bother, and what should it be about?
mircea_popescu: jurov: and the 6th slide is fatally wrong << it is fatally wrong

nubbins`: generally the lists have arbitrary numbers of items in them, because the "people" who "write" them don't have any real information to convey
mircea_popescu: goes about as well as you'd expect the National Waiters' Poetry Club to go.
mircea_popescu: cracked is mostly kids who figure they're not realy waitresses, but really writers, giving it a crack.
rithm: pretend i don't get out on the internet much
nubbins`: it's basically an entire website dedicated to the type of shit in /r/mildlyinteresting
rithm: is cracked one of those sites like the onion
rithm: i'll never eat another snozzberry
mircea_popescu: 1% of america MADE AVAILABLE 20% of the income in this country.
mircea_popescu: o may fucking gawd. just thefucking terminology... 20% of the ~available income~ ? dude... it's not "the available income".

thestringpuller: the dingleberries taste like snozberries
nubbins`: dingleberries have the richest taste
asciilifeform: there were, of course, other places to learn english.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: alt.tasteless was this thing. where the famous 'spittoon' story was posted, etc. it was glorious.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Willnot | A little round ball of shit (and/or bumwad) stuck in the hair of the crack of your ass and WILLNOT come out.
mircea_popescu: not in any sense dangerous, but just slowly asphyxiating everything to the point the whole society has to be destroyed by a bunchy of barbarians so the five surviving women can start over,
mircea_popescu: someone needs to explain to me sometime why "too much inequality can be very dangerous". seems that TOO MUCH is perfectly fine, a little is fucking dangerous if the idiots now have the means to argue the point,

mircea_popescu: somehow i'm the only one vaguely offended by the fact that "humorous" talking head is "explaining to the masses" what "the president said" ?
mircea_popescu: all these people and their weird equalitarian ideas.
mircea_popescu: nanotube well yeah, cause i'm multilingual and other people in here are and we end up running into translation things at least weekly.
ThickAsThieves: Thomas France, founder of Maison du Bitcoin, told the Wall Street Journal that he supports the new legal framework because it further legitimizes virtual currencies and that cryptocurrency anonymity is just “a myth.”
thestringpuller: nanotube is the ultimate lurker
rithm: nanotube he stalks the channel logs
gribble: The operation succeeded.
nanotube: ;;later tell mircea_popescu no need to pay for google translate, there are other free translate api alternatives. if you think there's a significant need for irc-translate, i could throw something together. just didn't figure it was all that useful.

BingoBoingo: Also for being the size of a whale
asciilifeform: for what it is prescribed - i've not the faintest idea.
gribble: Error: We broke The Google!
BingoBoingo: Well, the trade name is Desoxyn
asciilifeform: the necessary reagents were readily available, because amateur chemistry was not illegal in ussr.
BingoBoingo: They used to make their own here, but now for all I know Johnson and Johnson produces it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they would forge prescriptions for ephedrine (used in that period to treat asthmatics) and go from that.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in ussr, meth was 'invented' in the mid '80s. but all the aficionados made their own, without exception. there was no 'market' in the usual sense.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Costs too much for junkies to make their own, so it gets shipped from god knows where in the most efficient means possible
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: clearly these folks had no problems sourcing precursors.
Duffer1: what's the command?
BingoBoingo: It's a pain in the ass to get them, but still available over the counter
asciilifeform: if i recall these were banned ?
BingoBoingo: other precursors tend to produce racemic product
asciilifeform: in the americas, those are largely unavailable to 'humans' - mafia, different story, buys by the drum
mircea_popescu: who the hell maintains a month long meth trip ?
asciilifeform: re: 'performance enhancing' dopes - important to remember that, even supposing performance enhanced, it matters who you were. e.g. paul erdos will crap out theorems, a hooligan will be able to break that many more windows, a lunatic will rant longer and more vigorously, etc.
BingoBoingo: Interesting testament to different effects of the rotary property check the active ingredient http://www.vicks.com/products/vapo-family/vapoinhaler-nasal-congestion-relief/#
asciilifeform: (many of the maladies suffered by meth addicts - not only psychosis, but physiological - are also found in people who, for one reason or another - such as being under fire - cannot sleep)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's one of the more interesting ones
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: from the u.s. army medical journals, a hypothesis - it's actually the sleep deprivation that does you in
BingoBoingo: Well, with methamphetamine levo-dexo rotary becomes a concern as well. l-methamphetamine is a rather safe decongestant. D-methamphetamine though... is the one that makes the news

mircea_popescu: https://twitter.com/x__LaBellaVita/status/488503917387325441 < check out all the mike_c fan chicks coming out of the woodwork
mircea_popescu: you decrypt whatever on the laptop, and use the gun to read the screen
mircea_popescu: you buy the qr gun. you plug it into your windoze machine.
mircea_popescu: they're like $20
mircea_popescu: also what danielpbarron said. ffs, srsly ? make a key on the airgapped laptop and get a qr gun for cryssakes.
BingoBoingo: The thing is this Encrypt the keystrokes to beat keyloggers turd smells like pure security theatre and little else
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 think. at some point your machine sees the keys.
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> i suspect they called comcast and got some tier one wanker to reset pw << now this is also possible.
Duffer1: to prevent keylogging - even if they had hardware access to my machine they shouldn't be able to log
Duffer1: i use a program that encrypts every keystroke at the driver level
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> wtf << 2fa is shit. otherwise sounds like you got a keylogger.
Duffer1: evil people, they don't like leaving me alone :(
Duffer1: danielpbarron they're unrelated for me at least
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller nope.
artifexd: gpg key compromise can be recovered from. Once your coins fly, they're gone.
danielpbarron: maybe they have to get one to get the other
danielpbarron: i don't get it then; you have an offline machine for your BTC but you keep your gpg key on the online windows thing?
artifexd: With the lights off.
Duffer1: ya i take my shit seriously, which is why i'm surprised they got as far as they did
danielpbarron: with what machine was the paper created?
BingoBoingo: cazalla: For pure ease of use some Debian derivative will prolly cause you the least headaches
danielpbarron: I use it too; that's why I singled it out of all the other *nix variants
danielpbarron: cazalla, it's too popular; it's focus is on spready adoption rather than security
cazalla: i should probably put in the effort to learn a little more eh
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Because the history of White Africans is one steeped in failure probably
Duffer1: i can't figure out how they got coinbase though unless coinbase itself is compromised
Duffer1: i suspect they called comcast and got some tier one wanker to reset pw
kakobrekla: gotta change the password now!
Duffer1: no i know, i've just never been compromised like this before, they didn't get anything, but still that's scary as fuck
benkay: what's the commonality?
mike_c: mircea_popescu:dub hm, what do you hate about it ? that there's not really any "you lose 100%" ? << sometimes there is: https://atc.waroflife.com/gow/11/
Duffer1: that's the thing, i have no idea what was compromised
mike_c: Duffer1: if you are concerned the machine is compromised you should pull the network cable and never plug it back in.
Duffer1: which is why they weren't successful in setting up call forwarding
