BayAreaCoins: mike_c Which stake are you talking about though, I generally have a number of them poking me :P
mike_c: i meant the bitcoin-assets stake currently being applied.
mike_c: it can be helpful, but it is sharp.
mircea_popescu: "However, I'm lucky enough to not have to have that worry/fear of my government because I don't involve myself with a number of business that one can choose to be involved in around BTC"
mircea_popescu: this is the lulziest shit i read all day,.
asciilifeform: reminds of old saying: 'eat right. exercise. die very surprised.'
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu I mean I ship my guns using FFL's and require permits to transfer snails across state lines :)
BayAreaCoins: mike_c I grew up on Battle.net (Blizzard Entertainment games) and I've always hung around successful people... so I don't mind getting my balls busted. It is good for me
dub: lol
BayAreaCoins: is what it is. I know where not to get clients for the offshore idea :P learned something haha
mircea_popescu: i miss herbi
mircea_popescu: BayAreaCoins let's take this one meta further.
BayAreaCoins: *prepares balls*
mircea_popescu: the process whereby you come up with "ideas" and then look for applications is fundamentally broken
asciilifeform: ;;seen herbijudlestoids
gribble: herbijudlestoids was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 8 weeks, 6 days, 10 hours, 56 minutes, and 3 seconds ago: <herbijudlestoids> <3
mircea_popescu: not distinguishable from the process where dork figures out how his dream gf should look and then proceeds to try and find her.
mircea_popescu: the world works exactly backwards.
dub: he's invented mybitcoin
mircea_popescu: BayAreaCoins if you take the time to read this chan, which you should in any case, you'll discover all the respected/successful projects have the same thing in common, as all the mocked/despised "entrepreneurs" in their own characterisation have something else in common.
mircea_popescu: the former all started as in "you guise desperately need and ask for this, here it is"
mircea_popescu: the latter all started as in "here's my bright idea i came up with"
mircea_popescu: the most recent examples of this are of course mthreat's search and ninjashogun's whatever the fuck that was,
mircea_popescu: but plenty more in the same vein.
mircea_popescu: dub: if you actually had a use for this level of protection you could trviially roll your own, would not trust anyone else to do so anyway, and be one of 7 people alive << your summary is approved. when do you quit your dayjob to do ba logs summary full time ?
asciilifeform: 'everyone' has a use for atomic dirigible. except for the folks who can afford it.
dub: i dont have a day job
mircea_popescu: buncha fucking bums in this chan
mircea_popescu: nobody can keep a job.
mircea_popescu: !up stormlight

mircea_popescu: "Is there any other coin that has so many talented individual developers backing up the network?
mircea_popescu: Is there any website even remotely close to chaeplin's detailed network analysis, even for Bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: Is there any community out there, that despite the price crashes and road-bumps, stick together in such a strong manner, getting stronger by the day?"
mircea_popescu: in case you didn't know this... apparently darkcoin is a big deal. o.O
assbot: Darkcoin fails to rise after latest hardfork failure | City A.M.
benkay: hardfork failure?
benkay: a new language for your new coin
benkay: had a great interaction with a human today at a bbq: "what do you think of all of the other coins?" "you mean the forks of the bitcoin reference implementation with various knobs diddled?" "are they--" "yes."

mircea_popescu: ok, x11 is fucking dumb, for the record. jesus it's scary what happens when engineers just start doing shit without any supervision.
mike_c: just for the record, sometimes the supervison sucks.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron is this the first successful charge-for-up case ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c agreed.

BayAreaCoins: Not a problem man! Thank you
BayAreaCoins: What do you guys what to see next for bitcoin that doesn't exist right now or is it perfect because you've made everything you want that you can imagine for it atm?
decimation: Mr. Coins if you are convinced there is a "middle class" of bitcoin users in the us, why not start an exchange for them?
mircea_popescu: decimation he's new, give him a break.
mircea_popescu: BayAreaCoins you're new, so nobody really knows what you';d be good at.
mircea_popescu: that's kinda why you're stuck reading the logs for a while.
benkay: or is it perfect because you've made everything you want that you can imagine for it atm? // this sounds like the guy who asks "so do all of your friends use linux, then?" when told one occasionally counsels friends on not being retarded with crypto
mircea_popescu: benkay i bet you 64.58.198.181 answers on all teh windows ports.
benkay: webchat forwards user IP?
mircea_popescu: this is the internet. it does whatever you want it to.
benkay: BayAreaCoins: you're going to have a hard time figuring out what'd benefit the ecosystem when you don't even have big boy pants on.
BayAreaCoins: No breaks please. Bust my balls with full force. It is all good. mircea_popescu. Decimation I think there are a number of places that middle class americans already exchange BTC. I'm also not 100% convinced that is why I'm interested in what you guys have to say.
benkay: mircea_popescu: of course it *can*. *does*, though.
BayAreaCoins: benkay excuse me for getting stoned. Gotta give me a min.. I go to bed and wake up everyday with my big boy spider man underware
assbot: Bernie Mac I Ain't Scared of You Mofos - YouTube
mircea_popescu: BayAreaCoins start with something easy, like getting in the wot.
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu ya I'll get on that this week. I have a Thompson 1927-A1 coming in next week I can probably get listed and sold ASAP.
mircea_popescu: that's not the important part there.
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu Ok, I'll read into it and get it taken care of.
assbot: Americans Have Relatively Poor Net Wealth - NASDAQ.com
decimation: only 28% of us adults have over $100k
mircea_popescu: decimation that thing uses bad real estate data.
benkay: underwarez
mircea_popescu: !up Graet
BayAreaCoins: ;) :D lol
cazalla: :In Australia, over 65% of all adults have a net worth exceeding $100,000"
cazalla: we also have inflated property prices out the ass
mircea_popescu: cazalla exactly.
decimation: well, in May 2014 the median existing home price was $213,400 in the us http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/HOSMEDUSM052N
assbot: Median Sales Price of Existing Homes - FRED - St. Louis Fed
mircea_popescu: this thing claims aussies are 50% richer than austrians
kyuupichan: Just finished paying for my whole Maldives trip with BTC. Sorry to keep the downward price pressure on.
mircea_popescu: this is ludicrous.
mircea_popescu: kyuupichan enjoy.
decimation: anyone who has ever been near the DACH zone knows that germans are rich as fuck
mircea_popescu: decimation roughly in the sense darkcoin is worth 4 dollars per.
mircea_popescu: "provided noone sells"
decimation: right, so the median adult can barely afford half a median house
decimation: the median us adult is therefore a debt slave
mircea_popescu: if you adjust those numbers for real-real estate prices, you get about 90% ish of us peeps under 1k (which is also your error, or at least mine)
mircea_popescu: also ludicrous : india 4k, china 20k ? heh. the chinese aren't 5x ahead of the indians just because the chinese govt inflated a real estate bubble which delhi doesn't quite match
decimation: so, you are saying that the nasdaq data is inflated because of "paper house value"
mircea_popescu: ok, look at sweeden : by that judgement, 231k mean 40k median, it is the MOST inequal country in all of europe.
mircea_popescu: thing's fucking borked.
decimation: doesn't sweden have a government minimum income
assbot: Bitcoin Address 1AH3gdneXaV1qEEB1XJQjS7qbzktf1APx7
mircea_popescu: there will be an infinity of these
decimation: http://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/credit-card-data/average-credit-card-debt-household/ << apparently nearly 50% of us households carry a credit card balance monthly
assbot: American Household Credit Card Debt Statistics: 2014
decimation: so they cleary have less than $0 net worth
mircea_popescu: How to create a masternode? - Get a machine with a static ip
mircea_popescu: this is the anon coin.
mircea_popescu: it relies on... machines with static ips.
mircea_popescu: decimation right.
decimation: I suspect the "wealthy" half has most of their assets locked away in retirement plans, and most of those plans don't allow you to "invest" as you choose
benkay: decimation: truth.
mircea_popescu: decimation 50% are in cc hell. of the remainder, 30% are in middle class hell (they have some money, locked away in iras, college funds, ss payments etc - all of which is as good as gone but nobody's telling them).
decimation: lol https://blog.personalcapital.com/financial-planning-2/average-401k-balance-age/ "Supposedly two-thirds of working households age 55-64 with at least one earner have retirement savings less than one times their annual income. Given the median household income is roughly $52,000, that?s not a good sign."
assbot: The Average 401k Balance By Age
mircea_popescu: of the remainder 20%, about 10% are homeless, in prison or in mental institutions
mircea_popescu: that leaves 10%, of which about half are expats.
decimation: or easily could be ex-pats, if the mood struck
mircea_popescu: the mood strikes.
benkay: <- pending exile
mircea_popescu: jesus this darkcoin thing is more stupid than i had originally thought.
benkay: !s from: benkay darkcoin
benkay: yeah i now recall thinking to myself "myup. stop wasting time, kid."
decimation: when you boil that down, the american "middle class" is really at most maybe 10% of the population, so maybe ~20 million adults
mircea_popescu: i was like "why do i never receive altcoin summaries&updates ???" "because they are all exceedingly stupid" "no wai." "eta 2 hours"
mircea_popescu: 2 hours later i am... where's that cat gif
decimation: re: german spies << either the germans are really good or the CIA sucks at spying, apparently
mircea_popescu: the russians halped.
mircea_popescu: germany is maybe in the top 10. russia is of course in the top 5, way up there with romania and israel.
mircea_popescu: the us is not in any top.

decimation: I guess they have only claimed to have sold 30k of the 144k
benkay: well i've worked through these provisioners from top to bottom, and now it's time to test them all against some freshness
benkay: vagrant destroy && vagrant up
benkay: ./provision 127.0.0.1 2222
benkay: "okay girls, let's go!"
assbot: #bitcoin-assets log
decimation: eh, that supposes that the usg is secretly competent, which you just implied was not the case above
mircea_popescu: i really don't see a conflict.
mircea_popescu: how's it work ?
decimation: some part of the usg has to be able to operate in secrecy effectively to perform this laudering plan right?
mircea_popescu: you mean the plan i just discussed in a public chan ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, i see that.

kyuupichan: 3 wks ago in Seattle talking to a dude doing mining there; was downvolting all his machines because of summer heat generation
kyuupichan: Had ~ 50TH
kyuupichan: He'd budgeted +10% difficulty each period for rest of 2014; seems about right to me
kyuupichan: Sell my BTC for holiday; BTC jumps 1.5%
kyuupichan: Small fraction of BTC, that is
kyuupichan: I sense increasing govt apprehension abt BTC
cazalla: holiday to where?
kyuupichan: cazalla: Maldives; mentioned it a while ago. Not exactly cheap, as I discovered.
kyuupichan: Well, it's my 14-years late honeymoon.
cazalla: i wanna piss off to angeles
cazalla: not sure wife would be here when i get back though :P
kyuupichan: I reckon I must be high on the Expedia list of bitcoin dudes using their service more than expected
kyuupichan: Though initial booking + cancellation was quite a nightmare
cazalla: meh i'd still use credit card if i was doing that
kyuupichan: cazalla: Sure. Preference depends on circumstances. I'm overweight BTC; happy to drop a few now and then.
cazalla: just seems a hassle, as you described
cazalla: so what made cancellation a nightmare? they take btc but don't want to pay it back? fiat only refund?
kyuupichan: Well they'd only just started taking BTC. Most of their sales reps had (still have) no clue. When asking about the refund, they said it'll be on credit card despite my having said half a dozen times I'd not used CC and paid with bitcoin. Clearly clueless.
cazalla: predictable though
kyuupichan: Coordinating them and their payment processor (coinbase) was a PITA, particularly as I don't live in US so it was international phone calls. I'm not a fan of coinbase but to be honest they seemed to fix it, and they were the most helpful.
kyuupichan: All I wanted to do was change a date. booking.com is far superior to expedia.com for that; you, uh, just change the date.
kyuupichan: Expedia insist on cancel + rebook.
cazalla: going through all the permutations though, sounds like this was obvious and prob better to use cc
kyuupichan: Sure, but I'm underweight fiat; would rather not spend it as not much left :)
BigBitz: tried Destinia.com kyuupichan?
kyuupichan: BigBitz: No never heard of it. I used btctrip.com for flights for 2nd time without issue (bad experience with cheapair, though that seems unusual) and expedia for hotels.

mircea_popescu: ah, if only they had heard of urbit.
mircea_popescu: they could have just made jets.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the famous 'itanic' used an approach called 'vliw' - 'very long instruction word' - where the compiler was expected to fill up the pipeline manually, avoiding 'hazards' (instructions fighting over a resource, e.g. register or memory)
mircea_popescu: logically, the compiler is in the best position to do this, because it can directly poll the bus.
mircea_popescu: (how do you like my new 64 Gb Snark ?)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it can - and was - be made to work, just that it was never clear to anyone wtf the point is.
asciilifeform: sorta like howard hughes and his 'spruce goose'
mircea_popescu: well, it was different... not to mention "new and exciting"
mircea_popescu: the 90s way to say "revolutionary and innovative"
asciilifeform failed to get excited
mircea_popescu: well honestly, the wood airplane may well ahve becvome a big deal.
asciilifeform suspects that itanic was a 'lock-in play' - intel hoped that no one else could write a decent compiler for the chip. but what ended up happening was - for ages, gcc was the only working itanic toolchain...

artifexd: Duffer1: Are your gpg key and bitcoin wallet secure? How do we know that you are really you?
danielpbarron: cazalla, it's too popular; it's focus is on spready adoption rather than security
danielpbarron: I use it too; that's why I singled it out of all the other *nix variants
mircea_popescu: mike_c rare tho
BingoBoingo: cazalla: For pure ease of use some Debian derivative will prolly cause you the least headaches
Duffer1: artifexd afaik my gpg key wasn't compromised, but i have know way to confirm, my bitcoins are safe, i don't have anything online or on my comp
artifexd: Still, it might be a good idea to put sweeping all your wallets and changing your gribble keys on your cleanup todo list.
Duffer1: fuck you're right
artifexd: Sweeping to a paper wallet is first on my "what to do when shit is suspicious" list.
Duffer1: i'm already on paper, but i'll probably have to change gpg info
danielpbarron: with what machine was the paper created?
Duffer1: offline laptop, i bought it for that purpoes
artifexd: You also have a bitcoin address registered with gribble.
Duffer1: purpose
Duffer1: ya i take my shit seriously, which is why i'm surprised they got as far as they did
artifexd: I made my paper wallet with an abacus in a steel shielded room.
artifexd: With the lights off.
Duffer1: hehe
artifexd: I hope I didn't miss a bead.
BingoBoingo: Well, windows is a limiting factor on how serious you can be
Duffer1: indeed
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?
Duffer1: yea
danielpbarron: although you don't have that much in your gpg identity yet; 2 ratings
Duffer1: yea pretty much convenience vs security on that one
artifexd: Someone is also much more likely to try to steal a wallet than a gpg key.
danielpbarron: maybe they have to get one to get the other
artifexd: gpg key compromise can be recovered from. Once your coins fly, they're gone.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller nope.
danielpbarron: lol.. losing your gpg key could very well equal losing your coins.. plus more
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> this guy's got balls << who ?
Duffer1: danielpbarron they're unrelated for me at least
Duffer1: evil people, they don't like leaving me alone :(
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> wtf << 2fa is shit. otherwise sounds like you got a keylogger.
Duffer1: i use a program that encrypts every keystroke at the driver level
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Why? Dunno what purpose a program like that can serve.
Duffer1: to prevent keylogging - even if they had hardware access to my machine they shouldn't be able to log
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> i suspect they called comcast and got some tier one wanker to reset pw << now this is also possible.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 think. at some point your machine sees the keys.
mthreat: yep. a chrome extension, for example, doesn't care about your hardware
Duffer1: you're right
Duffer1: atm i'm building a list of everything that needs to change, it's long
BingoBoingo: The thing is this Encrypt the keystrokes to beat keyloggers turd smells like pure security theatre and little else
mircea_popescu: also what danielpbarron said. ffs, srsly ? make a key on the airgapped laptop and get a qr gun for cryssakes.
mircea_popescu: they're like $20
Duffer1: no idea how to do that
mircea_popescu: you buy the qr gun. you plug it into your windoze machine.
mircea_popescu: you decrypt whatever on the laptop, and use the gun to read the screen
Duffer1: that's pretty clever lol
