BingoBoingo wonders why rare bittorrents suck so hard
dignork: bounce: proposition of CA issued cert for tor hidden service still puzzles me, next stop - yellow pages for black market vendors
punkman: hidden service is supposed to provide end to end encryption , isn't it
BingoBoingo: dignork: Yellow pages might not be so bad.
BingoBoingo: punkbot: Well, remember that Debian bug circa 2006
dignork: punkman: yes, but in theory signed ssl cert provides some identity validation. Although the same can be achieved by gpg signed .onion address.
bounce: the onion address is governed by a private key, so no real chance of impersonation -- as long as you check the complete onion address
punkman: I wonder how many machines they used to find the vanity .onion
bounce: so the problem they're trying to solve by throwing a threadbare industry best current practice at it is to add some special "it's us, honest!"-sauce to link facebook.com and $facebook.onion
BingoBoingo: But... OMGWTFBBQ.509 is not a WOT

BingoBoingo wonders why paladin press torrents are such shitty downloads, wishes for a Paladin Press takeover by S.QNTR, eventually

BingoBoingo: <bounce> the whole industry is made out of "well we needed to do something, so we made up this thing. now everybody must do this thing, too.", starting with the CA root certs << Well, hookers invented something
BingoBoingo appologizes, had no idea bittorrent was so slow in the event a person wants to download something the slightest bit interesting

ben_vulpes: imagine the pathological case where an operation's barely scraping by with margins of, oh let's just say 0.1%.
Pierre_Rochard: ben_vulpes: both tax on revenues and tax on profits have their pros and cons. So I’m assuming the answer to my question is that it’s a tax on profits

assbot: Local Police CAN Arrest Federal Agents: It just happened in Salt Lake City | Tenth Amendment Center

mircea_popescu: scams as geological features now, what's next, libertardism as a natural satellite ?
mircea_popescu: oh, gupta. mkay. who asked him anything or w/e.
mircea_popescu: <Adlai> "absolved from all allegiance to any entity… is to pay a tax into the coffers of the Bitcoin Foundation" << you gotta re-read.
punkman: suppose everyone in assbot wot signs the declaration. doesn't make too much sense to keep 450 copies of the same document.
mircea_popescu: why not ?
Adlai: what exactly did i miss?
mircea_popescu: disk space and bw increase at 100% a year yo.
mircea_popescu: Adlai : "absolved from all allegiance to any entity ; if you pay this much no one can ask for more"
punkman: well even if I keep 450 copies, would be nice to detect it and present a special page with the document and a list of signatures
mircea_popescu: punkbot suppose 200 of those people sign subtly different versions.
punkman: well that's that
Adlai: mircea_popescu: "is to pay" is a stronger statement than "if you pay, ..."
mircea_popescu: besides you know, they prolly go in different bundles, and in general, it's not the signature that's subordinate to the document, but the other way around
mircea_popescu: Adlai exactly.

punkman: I'm guessing nubbins` will be printing the first batch of La Serenissima passports ;)
mircea_popescu: but i mean the passport comes as a temp freenode:#bitcoin-otc:blabla string
punkman: well maybe novelty item then
asciilifeform: 'passport', if you must, is pubkey
asciilifeform: the rest, is merely proving that you have it.
mircea_popescu: well wait. identity is pubkey. the rest is the passport.
mircea_popescu: ie, proving you have it.
asciilifeform: that's a better formulation.
punkman: and signature of the kingdom>

asciilifeform: god of shit. sterculius.
asciilifeform: or... 'Hie thee to hell for shame, and leave the world, Thou cacodemon! There thy kingdom is.' (richard iii)
asciilifeform: (cacodemon, as seen in 'doom'.)
Adlai: passports as private key... remind me of some gag where a bitcoiner gets some "paper wallets" for his fiat account and discovers that his keys are printed in cleartext on every page
mircea_popescu: you mean like bank account numbers ?
assbot: So I went to open a checking account today...How these banks have stayed in business this long is beyond reason. : Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: fun story : romania's dictators had nfi that they will be shot. because srsly, who would shoot obama, and why ?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: eventually, as things got out of control they ran off in a helicopter
mircea_popescu: the woman, being also a mother, took some money with her for her children.
mircea_popescu: these consisted of accounts drawn against the national (and only) bank
mircea_popescu: and the passwords were their names.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is in no way surprising.
mircea_popescu: one of those things only ever surprising in retrospect.

asciilifeform: who would have dared to monkey with the tyrant's bank account when he was on the throne.
asciilifeform: and who gave half a rat's arse after.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, another fun story :
mircea_popescu: romanian defence minister got sent to russia on business, including to buy some fighter jets.
mircea_popescu: dictator-wife goes through dictator paperwork, wtf, why do "we" need planes.
mircea_popescu: guy decides not to buy planes anymoar.
mircea_popescu: aparatus desperately calls to moscow, pls to not sign anymore
asciilifeform: elena the 'chemist' ?
mircea_popescu: "too late". yes, her.
asciilifeform: al schwartz had many good elene c. stories
mircea_popescu: so it is decided that... fancy this... they'll simply not pay.
mircea_popescu: ie, ignor the matter altogether.
asciilifeform: the faux 'chemistry' really grated on him
mircea_popescu: at which point ppl are like wtf, this is some sort of a kindergarten act ?! who ever heard of this
mircea_popescu: (summer of 1989)
mircea_popescu: ftr, grep -v -f is atrociously ineffectual for large files.
mircea_popescu: is this for a good reason or just bad gnutella ?
asciilifeform: aside from the fundamentally bigger set ?
mircea_popescu: shouldn't grep -v -f (x rand(x)) y rand(y) be a function of x*y ?
mircea_popescu: this looks more like it's x^y or some shit.
Adlai: exceeding various cache sizes?
mircea_popescu: shouldn't it just tree the f ?
Adlai: pure speculation: it caches the list of -f patterns, then goes over the input lines, testing all patterns on each line. this would have a sharp performance drop as the patterns overflow caches.
asciilifeform: the fact that no one here is willing to answer this question by attempting to read the source, says something about the latter.
Adlai is busy worshipping sterculius
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform have you LOOKED at grep source ?
mircea_popescu: im not paying for a week of graybeard to go into its guts tyvm.
asciilifeform said this for a reason.
mircea_popescu: anyway, stercum means shit. sterculius sounds like the god of diarrhea
asciilifeform: ;;google sterculius

asciilifeform forgets where and how
Adlai: indeed, i'd like to deal with at most one turd at a time
punkman: here's a thought: .sign AQLSTVsF http://paste.com/detached_sig.txt
punkman: it just goes in as a regular deed, but punkbot knows how to verify sig
punkman: (where AQLSTVsF, any deed id)
punkman: and btw, you can even post binary data as deed with :gpg --sign --armor
punkman: could allow larger limit for teh lords
punkman: (32kb currently)

asciilifeform: and the verbiage is straight from last week's turds
punkman: "Keirns was doing what came naturally. He had a business idea, and he created a fund."
mircea_popescu: punkman so basically what, it verifies an alt-sig for the body of a prev deed ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, because the scams hadn't already been cracked down upon a year ago, right here.
mircea_popescu: the insanity is strong with these guys.
punkman: mircea_popescu: yeah, I'd sign your raw deed, then send detached sig to bot
mircea_popescu: so how does it publish it ?
mircea_popescu: and where does it put it ?
assbot: Logged on 04-06-2014 00:08:26; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
punkman: the detached sig becomes the body of a new deed, included in bundles as usual
asciilifeform: not 'insanity' as such, just very arduously pretending that we don't exist.
mircea_popescu: ;;rate wired -1 such horribru coverage from the it kindergarten fishwrapper.

mircea_popescu: so then what was the benefit ?
mircea_popescu: srsly, it's good as it is, no need fixing.
mircea_popescu: the fact that thew system offers a strong guarantee that any deed can be verified in 1 step is valuable.
mircea_popescu: that value needn't be squandered.
mircea_popescu: "Unfortunately, earnings reported in corporate financial statements are no longer the dominant variable that determines whether there are any real earnings for you, the owner.

RagnarDanneskjol: i like the declaration but fuck the tax bs for gots sake man. I refuse to sign it! not cool pete
cazalla: RagnarDanneskjol, i don't think anyone said you had to sign it
RagnarDanneskjol: i didnt say they did. just passing an opinion
RagnarDanneskjol: in particular the words it is established and moral requirement are unconscionable
asciilifeform: RagnarDanneskjol: ask mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: he wrote it.
RagnarDanneskjol: ahh ok, I'll take it up with the boss then - thought it originated w/ pete. thanks
asciilifeform: as i understand, he is trying to somehow deal with the little problem of no one standing up to unwedge 0.5.3 block loader.
asciilifeform: none of the folks here seem to have the magic combo of skill, inclination, and free time
RagnarDanneskjol: i get it. there is quite a bit of volunteer support about to flood this channel for this purpose
RagnarDanneskjol: qualified support
asciilifeform: about to?
asciilifeform: what are they waiting for?
decimation: to sign a deed?
RagnarDanneskjol: I need to round up the troops and do some crash coursing in wot, etc first
asciilifeform: if the troops are able and willing to follow jurov's turdatron rules (as well as produce quality work) - great news.
RagnarDanneskjol: we'll see. making no promises
asciilifeform: but unless i am mistaken, mircea_popescu is proceeding from an understanding that a quality reference implementation will require paid experts.
asciilifeform: hence his proclamation of 'tithe'
RagnarDanneskjol: might be that too
RagnarDanneskjol: got it. tithe I can live with. tax not so much
RagnarDanneskjol: can you pls direct me to jurov's requirements?
RagnarDanneskjol: or the rules of contention
RagnarDanneskjol: oh that ok
asciilifeform: described in 'submitting patches'
RagnarDanneskjol: right got it
asciilifeform: the only thing not mentioned there, is the absolute need for patches to be readable
asciilifeform: that is, it must address a specific thing, and patch is not really considered worthwhile until other participants are willing to sign it.
RagnarDanneskjol: should be interesting
asciilifeform: (which others must sign? this question has not been formally answered yet. on account of there not being a real maintainer.)
asciilifeform: i did the last merge personally, and i think a few folks here are using it
asciilifeform: but i'm not an 'official' anything.
asciilifeform: (other than being the devil who led these folks into the temptation of trying to craft a 'reference implementation.')
asciilifeform: i also wrote a few of the simple patches found on jurov's site right now
asciilifeform: entirely crud removal (of, e.g., gavin's 'emergency broadcast' crap)
decimation: asciilifeform: I did mange to get it working on openbsd, I think it wedged in a different spot
asciilifeform: decimation: i suspect that if you kill the db and run it again - different yet.
decimation: I had to add a few headers
asciilifeform: decimation: because non-deterministic - once db is corrupt, wedge.
decimation: yeah I was using the 'ports' db, which is 4.6 I think
asciilifeform: when corrups? no one knows
RagnarDanneskjol: speaking of support, how you been chalbersma - LA treating you ok
chalbersma: Ya been super busy. But it's nice out hear.
chalbersma: What seems to be the support problem you speak of?
RagnarDanneskjol: well, the folks here started a movement to roll back btc core development to a pristine, decrufted state
RagnarDanneskjol: and looking for guys like you with some hands on experience to contribute
chalbersma: Hmm sounds interesting.
RagnarDanneskjol: yea, should be fun
