BingoBoingo: Nah, one doesn't want to appear to be a dorky BTC Jesus. One wants to look like a simple blue collar actual jesus.
benkay: or suits as the case may be.
benkay: probably relatively high-profile from target perspective.
benkay: "oh, dude has btc. let's breach his personal security and get 'em."
benkay: but also it has to be a sustainable, fault-tolerant thing that a person can practice their whole lives.
kakobrekla: basically you need some nut a wrench cant unscrew
benkay: "personal crypto security: basically impossibly hard"
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.58 BTC [-]
benkay: i'm thinking best practices for personal backup and recovery strategy for keys and private contracts and such.
dub: BingoBoingo has it really, don't get caught
dub: no amount of kit will protect you from a determined attacker
asciilifeform: benkay: "personal crypto security: basically impossibly hard" << every time this is said, nsa cafeteria fillets and serves a white tiger kitten (or insert rarer and cuter animal)
benkay: sure sure
B007: benkay: all your bitcoins are belong to me
benkay: no i know asciilifeform, it's in quotes for a reason
benkay: okay i have this gpg key
B007: just store your keys encrypted and offline, hope for the best?
benkay: how do i best ensure i have access to it forever?
dub: benkay: one thing I do is delete or hide any wallets im carrying across borders
benkay: encrypted image with all important keys and files?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SFI] 150 @ 0.0008829 = 0.1324 BTC [+]
BingoBoingo: carry some microfiche that looks like a one time pad and you actual keys more discretely, misdirect the attention
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SFI] 300 @ 0.00088299 = 0.2649 BTC [+] {2}
benkay: faugh
BingoBoingo: perhaps find a "collectible" surplus or replica for the purpose
chetty: fillup a lot of storage with random stuff, encrypted with different keys, lose it in the mess
benkay: obfuscation
benkay: i'm afraid of becoming an old man and actually losing it in the mess, though.
asciilifeform: none of you seem to be thinking about the obvious
asciilifeform: situation where enemy (willing to torture and kill) knows that you're loaded
asciilifeform: and doesn't know (or care) where you keep the stash
asciilifeform: but has your arse
asciilifeform: and a soldering iron.
chetty: cyanide
asciilifeform: for some reason i thought that is what this line of thought was about.
benkay: more along the lines of list of things to do that will reduce attack surface area
benkay: maximize key durability
benkay: and access
asciilifeform: next lower class of attack: enemy willing to steal every single one of your identifiable possessions
benkay: right. they got the backups.
benkay: so the only thing to do is an encrypted drive with a memorized dicelist.
asciilifeform: the only real defence is: obscurity
chetty: #1 - don't be a target, #2 - don't be an easy target
benkay: #3 make it hard to parse the possibility space, #4 have rock solid encryption as a last barrier?
benkay: am i retarded or is this problem hard?
benkay: is there a checklist for the professional keyholder i've failed to find?
asciilifeform: wtf is a professional keyholder
benkay: i have a wot key
benkay: it is the sum of my identity 25 years from now
benkay: my whole business is tied up in this thing
benkay: i lose it, i lose everything
benkay: i'm interested in best practices for this sort of scenario.
asciilifeform: encrypt, using a process known only to you, and inject in the blockchain.
asciilifeform: (if you are not willing to pay what this costs, the payload cannot be important)
benkay: yeah, i'll buy that.
chetty: in the end a key based id is no different than the various numbers and stuff we use now, how do you protect those?
asciilifeform: 'pay' in the sense that stuffing bits in the blockchain costs.
benkay: what is the going rate per kb?
asciilifeform: benkay: depends on the actual mechanism used.
asciilifeform: under no circumstances should you tell us - or anyone else - which.
benkay: ah, right.
asciilifeform: programmatically pissing out transactions is trivial, use your imagination.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6100 @ 0.00085899 = 5.2398 BTC [+] {2}
benkay: thank you, asciilifeform.
asciilifeform: benkay: remember that steganography, unlike cryptography, cannot be simultaneously strong and standardized.

benkay: and yet the aurora coin people are nominally going to give coins to icelandic folk?
benkay: the surprise is that people buy this particular scam.
mircea_popescu: people will buy anything.
mircea_popescu: this is the problem with welfare : this sort of idiot should be on a starvation diet
mircea_popescu: that way you ensure any resources they have are judiciously expended.
mircea_popescu: if they have as much as one cent extra over what the bare minimum their sustenance requires,
mircea_popescu: they'll spend it to buy britney spears records and aurora coins
mircea_popescu: this is a serious problem, because one cent from one billion scum results in enough piled up money for shit like spears and aurora coin to pretenbd like they matter.

nubbins`: heh.
Neil: But a bug it is; the code wouldn't pass muster in GCC which I used to maintain.
Neil: The problem is most coders don't know the language they're writing, nor do they care. Hence the crap we deal with. We need more Dan Bernsteins and Matt Dillons.

Neil: NSA doesn't have to try too hard.
Neil: When I release my bitcoin implementation, it may suck in many ways, but it won't have things like that in it.

cazalla: reading the casinobitco.in feb report - if bitcoin price is lower, would it be right to assume people would be more bitcoin as it's worth less?
cazalla: yet they seem to blame low price on less bets
cazalla: and no - i did not buy any of this i just like to read what people are doing
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves on the other hand, i'd be fucking amazed if buffett is still around in 10 years
mircea_popescu: let alone 20.
ThickAsThieves: well that's how it happene dwith sdice
ThickAsThieves: if it holds true it would be an indicator now that casinobit is dwindling
mircea_popescu: cazalla if there's some such effect, it'd conceivably show slower than one month
jcpham: dat gox shitshow
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Generally, advanced age can get people to go away
cazalla: they are blaming lower volume on lower price but i would think vol would be higher with lower price

mircea_popescu: Neil at any rate, i wasn't saying there's something wron with the compilers, i said it depends how shit's implemented. basically, a write-out of "undefined"
kakobrekla: why is the report not on facebook
mike_c: which shows a complete lack of ability to run a sportsbook.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla because facebook is for porn

joecool: used to have a tracker for that
decimation: what's wrong with commenting out lines of code? they are crumbs for students
mike_c: what's wrong is they make the code less readable, thereby making it harder for the 2nd programmer who has to touch the code.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i can't fucking push it either, it's a legitimate contention.

kakobrekla: was there an answer to this
ThickAsThieves: if it's legitimate it was from day 1
ThickAsThieves: i think 'ends up' is important to define
kakobrekla: secondly, it doesnt specify if it has to be minable/premined or to which extent that can be
BingoBoingo: This might be a good time to suggest a BitBet, "Bitbet to not accept further Altcoin Marketcap bets in 2014"
ThickAsThieves: 'ends' has a menaing after all
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla nope

asciilifeform: 'Patton, like Douglas MacArthur, was an unfortunate mixture of personal courage, technical brilliance and toxic personality, and like MacArthur, a role model to three generations of mediocrities who equate pomp and nitpicking with excellence.'

mircea_popescu: you know there's a reason detached semi heads are run a certain way
mircea_popescu: too light spells trouble

mircea_popescu: diametric heya
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: yeah, because this is how it works in mechanics.
mircea_popescu: also any roman candle should work with any asshole.
BingoBoingo: I may have tested that last one...
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'd love to see the hand-made transmission some afficionado made to allow a dump truck engine in his thunderbird
