nubbins`: "Flexcoin, Inc is located in the Alberta, Canada"
Apocalyptic: yet another self-hack
asciilifeform: 'As Flexcoin does not have the resources, assets, or otherwise to come back from this loss, we are closing our doors immediately.'
asciilifeform: 'On March 2nd 2014 Flexcoin was attacked and robbed of all coins in the hot wallet. The attacker made off with 896 BTC...' (http://flexcoin.com)
ThickAsThieves: KateCraig: "However, the bigger reason for the delay is that I've been trying to track down an accounting error. My spreadsheet says we should have much more in the h/w reinvestment fund than we actually have in the bank. I believe I've traced the issue to how depreciation was being calculated."
asciilifeform: exploit bounty for yet others.

asciilifeform: can't wait for the exchange that keeps balances as 'unsigned int' and underflows into $MAXINT - epsilon when it gets cleaned out.
punkman: "Because there is not enough BTC to cover everyone's balances, all balances will temporarily be deducted by 12.3%."
punkman: "The major problem here is that the auditing and security features were not explicitly looking for negative balances."
punkman: Poloniex hacked, but hackers only took out BTC, didn't care for the altcoins
mircea_popescu: i usually made 3-4x my money by the time i was in oregon

mircea_popescu: putin could just get done with it and declare obama must now spend a week naked in chains pulling the plow under the whip somewhere in rural ukraine.
mircea_popescu: suddenly the eu is forced to ALSO drop the dollar because if you can't buy gas from the gazprom with it then what good is it ?
mircea_popescu: "A Kremlin aide was quoted on Tuesday as saying that if the United States were to impose sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, Moscow might be forced to drop the dollar as a reserve currency and refuse to pay off any loans to US banks."

mircea_popescu: d here for supporting Romney? Why should we want Obama for a second term? Please, no soundbites you got from twitter." As the kid's head melts like he was staring into the Ark of the Covenant we'd see clearly that he isn't an Obama supporter at all. He may be voting for Obama, I have no idea, but he wasn't there for Obama, he was there for himself under the pretense antagonizing Fox, which is why his main argument
mircea_popescu: Imagine Gretchen Carlson doing what she should have done if she was smart: kept the interview going longer. "Oh, I'm sorry, Max, we must all be dummies here at Fox because when you told us you were pro-Romney we... just believed it. We do that with the Bible and pre-war intelligence, too, gosh golly. Well, you have a Columbia education and I'm giving you a national platform, why don't you tell us why we're all stupi
mircea_popescu: Imagine you are in the target demo for Fox & Friends (i.e. your ex-husband drives an F150 and your daughter's Nokia is bedazzled), would you feel punked? What would you see in the video? You'd see a wise ass, a self-aggrandizing cynic, a douchebag. So if he's pro-Obama, then the point is obvious: pro-Obama people are idiots. Thanks, Max, you helped the cause.
mircea_popescu: sn't helping collect the dirt bombs.
mircea_popescu: The thing is, your brain has to be full of prions to think that this "Punked By Obama Supporter" video shows Fox being punked, either that or you're in first grade where the following exchange is considered an awesome practical joke: "I told you my name's Bill, but it's not, it's Will! All this time you thought it was Bill! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I'd warn that kid he's going to get himself beat up at recess if I wa
mircea_popescu: ikr ? now they're going to be square

ozbot: Satoshi should give away a good chunk of the 1.000.000 btc he has

mircea_popescu: that bitcoin scam foundation thread is really delivering the lels.
mircea_popescu: the cuttoff for regs for the april conference is march 15th. there won't be late regs or anything.
mircea_popescu: *nigger in this context is a term of art. see http://trilema.com/2013/fried-chicken/ for the definition.
punkman: "During the first phase of the MazaCoin pre-mine, the Traditional Lakota Nation as represented by the BTC Oyate Initiative will pre-mine 25 million MazaCoins as the starting point of a National Crypto-Currency Reserve. This reserve is critical as a symbol of national sovereignty, and vital for the future of MazaCoin. "
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder if the "entrepreneur" scum even knows what idea means.
mircea_popescu: another "altcoin" with a 349587598437598349534 "mkt cap" ?
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is this.
punkman: "KAM Analysts have come out and established the opening price for MZC at $1.00 USD as a opening price. "We felt this was a reasonable opening price with the Alt Market the way it is currently, Dogecoin is setting around $1.17 in some exchanges and MAXcoin is still right around $1.28."

benkay: yours gave me no small heebie-jeebies either
jurov: for the competition?
jurov: everyone gets all heprderp and then comes schneier "just think of a sentence and use first letters"
benkay: and diced passphrases are way better than the shorter, random ones
benkay: oh i agree - forgive me for giving the impression that i think diceware doesn't work
BingoBoingo: Dice all of the lists, like carrots
benkay: i want to use my keys regularly. that entails memorizing an absurd passphrase and using it all the time to forestall neuron rot.
dignork: jurov, my mail account is a phrase, but the only reason i keep it, is that most cases it remembers me via cookies
benkay: this is the tradeoff!
jurov: did you actually a) try it b) did the math?
benkay: anyways, diginork, it sounds like the critique you're leveling is that "people will stoop to holding their keys unencrypted if used frequently"
jurov: dignork: afaik nobody yet refuted the diceware method (randomly chosen words, easy to remember and still hard to crack)
benkay: sure. best practices come into play with the bruteforcing.
dignork: same scenario with crypted keys, he will have to bruteforce them
dignork: benkay lost nardware==lost key then
dignork: benkay, at some point you'll decrypt you gpg key, so you won;t have to type in the password for each time you auth
benkay: so crypto is dangerous, right? what are the risks of randomly asking people to auth?
Apocalyptic: you will then be banned by gribble for like 10 minutes which leaves him time to auth properly
BingoBoingo: benkay: Yeah, but that is exactly why Mutually GPG signed contracts are the future
benkay: so a thing that helps is that your otc link is always the same
benkay: so a key to maintaining good crypto hygiene is to use it all the time, right?

Multivac: I never met someone that said they were Mensa that wasn't degenerate.
asciilifeform: see 'bob the bridge-builder.'
mircea_popescu: why do people go to the mensa thing anyway
BingoBoingo: And Anand... was prolly actually the best champion in a long time.
Multivac: from the Karpeles article comments: "Mark is a member of Mensa, well that says it all. I work with a guy who claims to be a Mensa member, he's the biggest jackass I have ever encountered. But if you want to know how smart he is, just ask he'll tell you about it, all day long."

BingoBoingo: gesell1: They had no information of @MagicalTux's cup size if that is the info you wanted
BingoBoingo: Insertion, where I dun care, he has more experience in this I supposed a dude who could put dumptrucks in ford escorts. He wanted dumptruck motors in a ThunerBird, and Imma trying to get the hillbilly's email.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: So one estimate request got a response already "Depends on the dump truck motor. Are you talking about a standard Volvo or cummins diesel? Or are you talking about a larger super industrial engine? Any motor can be out in any car. All it takes is a torch, welder, and some good math."

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The one big example I say in person was well before I had a computer with more than two colors on its monitor much less a digital camera.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: So are you asking if someone can deliver to you a thundrbird with a dump truck motor or asking for opinions whether or not it can be done?
mircea_popescu: "I used to sleep under a bridge, not eat, just cry. I hanged myself; it was on a Monday. I took pills, took alcohol, drank cleaning appliances and then hanged myself. But God said, 'It is not your time'."

mircea_popescu: anyway, i'd love to see the hand-made transmission some afficionado made to allow a dump truck engine in his thunderbird
BingoBoingo: The early 1990's though inherited a lot of the ethos of the 1980's where any motor by a company should work with any transmission
mircea_popescu: you know there's a reason detached semi heads are run a certain way
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You half ass the transmission
