copypaste: I never quite understood the purpose of this "company"; founded in USA yet ignoring USG rules to transfer quantities of $1 using Bitcoin
copypaste: I thought for sure this "company" was only founded to capitalize off some Backpage headlines
copypaste: I didn't think its relevance would continue until now
BingoBoingo: It's only relevant now because its flavor of stupid got loud.
BingoBoingo: But yeah. It likely can't live in its niche at any price.
copypaste: Indeed; it reminds me of BitInstant, and we all knew how that went
copypaste: It's incredible how foolish these people are, unable to learn from history, and founding their Bitcoin "businesses" in USG territory
BingoBoingo: Right. Charlie really hung on his bong for that one.
BingoBoingo: The serious problem is their insistence on touching USG money
copypaste: Indeed, and incorporating in the US, and further making it everyone else's problem that they exist in such poverty that the ability to transfer funds one satoshi at a time is a make-or-break for the business
BingoBoingo: Incorporation seems to be the big dose of poison there.
copypaste: At least Charlie laundered millions of dollars, they'll be going to jail over 50 cups of coffee and some $1 prostitution ads
BingoBoingo: To be fair charlie also single dollars at a time too. He even for a while did the fucking SMS deal that bills a phone company.
BingoBoingo: Blockchain.info integrated that one from bitinstant at one point
BingoBoingo: How the fuck do you not attract all of the attention doing that.
copypaste: You have to be a complete fool to think that the regime with the most strict "money laundering" laws would allow that to continue for any amount of time
copypaste: I had no idea they were using that SNS system
BingoBoingo: At the point you partner up to an SMS payment network you're asking for the telecom regulators to plumb your butt on top of everyone else
copypaste: Indeed, and most definitely they fradualently applied for the SMS payment network
copypaste: Those things are usually constrained to ring tones and so on
BingoBoingo: Well, these are the things you learn having visited the bitinstant website in August 2012
copypaste: "a. Important: Do not mention bitcoin to the teller as banks are reluctant to work with bitcoin and may deny the deposit with no reason why.
copypaste: Surely, this will go well for everyone involved.

copypaste: I'm sure Bitcoin-averse bank branches will soon catch on to the computer nerds walking in and all depositing cash to the same account, no?
copypaste: And if one lets it slip what of the others ?
copypaste: A business based on lying to your partners is sure to fail; just a WoT suspends the failure by not letting any moron join in on the fun of transacting
BingoBoingo: pretty muh

ith: Thank you.
punkman: it's actualy 1832
BingoBoingo: Sorry, you have a >2LSD error code ith
ith: No, it is not. Please tell me the truth
Quent: BingoBoingo, aren't softforks hardforks?
ith: You know that I am not lying
BingoBoingo: Quent: Not at all
ith: It IS 2017. Please explain what you are doing to me
Quent: as in, any change by a softfork effectively hardforks older clients
BingoBoingo: Quent: They really don't. The test is whether or not node sealed in concrete without admin port needs chiseled out or not
Quent: for example, BingoBoingo, you can softfork bip101 or whatever bip... you can soft fork anything really
BingoBoingo: You really can't soft fork BIP 101
Quent: and that's according to gmaxwell...
BingoBoingo: Block gets rejected
ith: GIVE ME AN ANSWER
ith: It is important!
Quent: I quote gmaxwell "anything can be implemented by a softfork"
Quent: you just make it super complex to jump through a lot of hoops...
ith: And you gave me the same >2LSD code answer last year. Please explain yourself
Quent: but, conceptually as well, if an older node considers the new rules to be just noise the older node is effectively forked off...
punkman: ith, you are on a time soft-fork, you need to find way back to 1832
BingoBoingo: Quent: Oh no. The new stuff is the noise
ith: And I'm sure you will give the same answer again /next/ year about >2LSD
ith: punkman: you aren't making any sense
Quent: yes, but the network is accepting the new stuff, therefore the network has forked you off
Quent: softforking seems to me to simply be a deceptive way for miners to rule and the network have no say...
ith: "time soft-fork, 1832"
BingoBoingo: But because the "network" accepts new stuff doesn't mean I have to
Quent: like with SW, you can not upgrade all you want, but if everyone else does, and especially if the miners do, then you are forked off if not upgraded
ith: Where is the Japanese guy?
BingoBoingo: Quent: Nah, the special segwit transactions are noise until proven otherwise
Quent: BingoBoingo, yes, but it is just you who is not accepting it and that makes no difference whatever to yourself or the network
ith: mircea_popescu: why don't you help me out with this
BingoBoingo: !down Quent

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-12-2015#1357259 << talking about what something costs in usaschwitz is rather tricky
assbot: Logged on 31-12-2015 13:25:58; mircea_popescu: it costs n times the LIFETIME AVERAGE INCOME of the world's poorest billion to keep a dude in jail for a year.
asciilifeform: (see the 'turkey-buying dollar' thread)
BingoBoingo: Alright took the opportunity to chop on qntra a bit. Page loading should be still faster.
asciilifeform: guard is paid $x, he - like every other working stiff in usaschwitz - goes back and spends $x-epsilon on housing racket and tax
asciilifeform: 'american is never given money, he is merely shown it and allowed to hold in his hands for a spell to be reminded that it exists'
asciilifeform: so to speak of it ~costing n times avg income on the planet~ or whatnot, is misleading, because the circulatory loop is closed
asciilifeform: the prison guard (or whoever else) cannot take the salary and spend it on N slaves in the turd world
adlai wonders re: median Bitcoin income
asciilifeform: adlai: 0
adlai: brb bullshitting it off trb financial statements
adlai: well naturally i'm capping the sample set at positive amounts of satoshi... if you're too stupid to make money, you don't have negative income. you are funemployed.
asciilifeform: let's put it this way, if $firm were to put N additional zeroes in front of my wage, and landlord put the same number of zeroes in front of my rent, does this make any practical difference ?
asciilifeform: (answer: yes! to the tax collector! he gets nonlinearly moar)
adlai: don't forget the lobbyist who asymptotically restores linearity
asciilifeform: adlai: read the hypothetical again. the net money to spend remains same
asciilifeform: at least in effect.
adlai redefines "lobbyist" as "collector of sales tax on tickets to the democracy theatre"
asciilifeform: the high wages in usa come simply from the sheer volume of bezzle sloshing around, and don't actually buy anything interesting (the lack of shit rivers in the streets has nothing whatsoever to do with the number of zeroes in front of the decimal point)
asciilifeform: e.g., zimbabwe has many more significant zeros, but also more turd
asciilifeform: so to return to mircea_popescu's wild supposition, the answer is no - it is much CHEAPER to house a prisoner or pay a guard in usaschwitz than in, e.g., su
asciilifeform: usaschwitz prisoner - even in the Big Zone ('freedom') - is rarely fed actual bread, or even clean water
asciilifeform: eats synthetic sludge.
asciilifeform: like most of his countrymen.
adlai: Soylent Cream is [actually good for] People!
asciilifeform: adlai: what's 'funemployed' ?
adlai: it's when you're not employed, but still having fun
adlai: state commonly encountered among open source programmers, homeless alcoholics, and the mentally retarted
adlai: take care.

ascii_rear: 'This paper introduces JitterBugs , a class of inline interception mechanisms that covertly transmit data by perturbing the timing of input events likely to affect externally observable network traffic. JitterBugs positioned at input devices deep within the trusted environment (e.g., hidden in cables or connectors) can leak sensitive data without compromising the host or its software. In particular, we show a practical
ascii_rear: Keyboard JitterBug that solves the data exfiltration problem for keystroke loggers by leaking captured passwords through small variations in the precise times at which keyboard events are delivered to the host. Whenever an interactive communication application (such as SSH, Telnet, instant messaging, etc) is running, a receiver monitoring the host’s network traffic can recover the leaked data, even when the session o
ascii_rear: r link is encrypted. Our experiments suggest that simple Keyboard JitterBugs can be a practical technique for capturing and exfiltrating typed secrets under conventional OSes and interactive network applications, even when the receiver is many hops away on the Internet.'
mircea_popescu: yeah, certainly a major concern.
ascii_rear: artificial side channels are old hat at this point
ascii_rear: but the schoolbook demo is lulzy

mircea_popescu: who the fuck sends passwords over the wire one character at a time is beyond the scope of this discussion/

adlai does this routinely, is he even stupider than he thought?
mircea_popescu: you type passwords into a remote box ?
ascii_rear: most sysadmins end up doing this at some point
adlai: rarely, but ssh-over-ssh? all day, every day.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
adlai: the inner session is opened from direct access to relay box.

mircea_popescu: the only thing that'd be interesting there is discovering a supply chain attack.
mircea_popescu: which... if the chinese aren't doing it already, it's because they're kinda too slow for this world.
ascii_rear: mircea_popescu: i'd expect to find it in chinese iron with american firmware (e.g., apple keyboard)
adlai doesn't understand the glass cannon's purpose
ascii_rear: adlai: a glass cannon is a proverbial weapon that can be used exactly once.
adlai: hm. maybe i do? yeah... i was misinterpreting it as a weapon which reveals its usage. headful of canaries...
ascii_rear: (how many times can you use, e.g., a pill against rsa ?)
ascii_rear: each shot had better net you some serious win
ascii_rear: ergo a 'canary' fueled with 0.5 btc is an exercise in self-delusion
adlai: glass cannons are perfectly reusable if you reinforce the firing station, syncronize your shots with other noise (aka soldiering 101)
ascii_rear: adlai: familiar with ww2 story of the bombing of coventry ?
adlai: hmm. it's not all self-delusion... it means, "this target is worth more than X btc"
adlai did not mention X!
adlai: goon with the trigger finger might be greedier than his boss

adlai gueesstimates 22 mil btc, but has not yet done the math
ascii_rear: adlai: have you read my ancient piece re: mpex ?
adlai: what do i look like, a bunch of text? i have eyes as well.
adlai: don't get me wrong, there is definite noise to be reduced, aka - money to be made. but the question is more "how much money do you need, to earn back the registration fee before your grandchildren die"
adlai repeats, for the less-alert lurkers: my +v is a testament to the fact that money can be made on mpex.
adlai: notice how much mircea hates me... he scratches, he moans, he bleeds! but the thorn - remains.
adlai: maybe i'm just an elaborate plot device, myself...
ascii_rear: iirc mircea_popescu (and damn near everybody) isn't terribly fond of clutter in the logz from depressed folks screaming on the stake

ascii_rear: adlai: i think we did this before ?
ascii_rear: mircea_popescu had an article about simple text stego
adlai: yes, the PGP-w mode.but PGP stego only needs to work for ~2 people, whereas btc stego should work for 21M.
ascii_rear: problem with all stego is that it runs exactly counter to standardization
ascii_rear: fundamentally.
adlai is thinking not of the day when you can't get your tx to the chinaman, but rather of the day when he can't return you your receipt
ascii_rear: standardized/public stego scheme is merely a waste of bandwidth.
adlai: sure, that's why it's tongue-in-cheek... so nobody will take it seriously, nor waste time censoring people saying words over social media.
adlai leaves it there. someday if he picks up the meth pipe instead of the tankard, he'll whip together a PoC... or if he found the shot glass instead, he'll find his way to https://xkcd.com/simplewriter/ and tell people how he thinks they should build the system for passing computer money through the words that are said most often.
adlai: re: snr... i realize it's an Unsolved Problem, and in precisely the same way that "racism works", it makes sense to triage text by the mouth it whenced; but "the opposite of stupid is not wrong"

adlai: let's say there's a channel, #bitcoin-words, where blocks are broadcast stegodoodically. freenode lets it live. ditto for the hashtag, and the subreddit... but facebook suddenly closes down accounts that spam such words, even in private groups.
ascii_rear: what'll it be, 100MB posts of crud ?
adlai: (one of the oft-repeated defenses of facebook among meatspace 'anarchists' is that they don't censor private groups, because nobody complains)
adlai: yep.
ascii_rear: they'll be censored because 100MB of crud
ascii_rear: which nobody wants
adlai: imgur deals with far worse...
adlai: and really, it's only 144MB daily, times the concealment factor
adlai: twitch deals with... how much?
ascii_rear: multiply by whatever the bloat factor of the stego is
adlai: concealment factor = bloat factor
adlai: this is for broadcast. find your miner some other way

adlai is off to defend precisely this theorem, but not with words on IRC.
mircea_popescu: you happen to be the sort of misfortunate fucktard that grew up among idiots rather than parents, and as a result are way too fixated on experimentally verifying this hierarchy thing and way too fascinated by the female "oh may gawd what if i sell myself short".
mircea_popescu: forget the stupid shit, you're just some nobody that'll soon die, just like everyone else. you have no intrinsic value or importance, just like everyone else. you have no opportunities, you have no chances, there's nothing to manage. go do something useful already.
adlai: how exactly am I shorting myself?
ascii_rear: incidentally does adlai behave like this in the .il army ?
ascii_rear: what happens to a fella who 'experimentally verifies hierarchy' there
mircea_popescu: so much fucking packaging and meta-packaging for, in the end, ~ a hundred pounds of organic turd.
adlai: ascii_rear: you can ask my superiors, who incidentally are all on their way to various CS degrees, and periodically ping me (not meni,and not mircea)with their dumb questions about bitcoin... someday maybe they'll even show up here.
mircea_popescu: well he did get kicked out didn't he ? or what was the story ?
adlai: different hierarchy.
ascii_rear: i don't recall adlai getting drummed out
adlai is not a fan of directed acyclic graphs, where humans are concerned... age has improved his patience, but teen-adlai was really bad at this
adlai: ascii_rear: apparently the MPIA got hold of my diploma
ascii_rear: l0l wut
adlai: exactly, there is none (the latter, that is)
adlai blames it on the parents, because that's what mircea_popescu said!
ascii_rear: max planck institute for astronomy ?!!
adlai: freenode academy for crackpot shillery.
mircea_popescu: captive in this "let's go out" "omaigerd i have so many questions and stuff i gotta say about it and and" "nevermind" "WAIT WAIT HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO ME!11" bullshit 16yo females are supposed to have outgrown.
ascii_rear: i thought it was just logorrhea
mircea_popescu: seems well structured to my eyes, in this cyclic pattern.
mircea_popescu: guy gotta defend his bower, because totally, we're collecting blue items over here, that's what we're doing.
ascii_rear: i see this mainly among folk who never learned to interact with their environment in a mechanical way, and are stuck playing strictly by talking to people
ascii_rear: but adlai is a literate fella and seemingly oughta know better
ascii_rear: ergo i recommend less dope, perhaps
mircea_popescu: literacy is no defense against stupidity.
mircea_popescu: that's the thing. education is mere power. stupidity is drive. the two have almost nothing in common.
ascii_rear: there is organic stupidity; there is also the exogenous kind
mircea_popescu: anyway, perhaps because i've broken the stupid in too many slavegirls, or perhaps for whatever other reason, but the pattern's obvious to me. guy gets a shot at working on mpex, blows it, out of dedication to protecting a certain identity flaw. has shot at b-a voice, blows it, out of same. will continue to blow everything in same manner for same reason indefinitely.
adlai: there is also miscommunication, exacerbated by the limitations of ascii (give or take a unicode page)
mircea_popescu: yes, there is also miscommunication. like you know, exactly how noise on the channel breaks the jitterbug.
adlai shorted his identity to hell, that's not what he's defending...
ascii_rear: i'm kinda curious what ~is~ adlai defending
adlai: i'd put a youtube link to "ideas are bulletproof", but conjuring assbot is noisier than letting people google/recall for themselves.
ascii_rear: my understanding is that he suffered from general-purpose depression on account of not being mircea_popescu - something that happens to most folks here periodically
mircea_popescu: eh that's just plain silly.
ascii_rear: well for a long time he posted interesting lispisms, etc. and then it was suddenly... Vexual

mircea_popescu: adlai may also be the first humorless jew i ever saw.
adlai: so say we all.

ascii_rear: can we have the idea plox?
adlai: Markets -- while -EV for animals, idiots, and the tone-deaf -- are positive-sum for people who play in tune.

ascii_rear: and it shouldn't take more than 1-2 blows
adlai: but i lack experience in both fields to make a stronger statement.
ascii_rear: adlai: there are no 'positive-sum' things on planet3, you gotta burn something (or push somebody out of a sunbeam) to run

adlai: ben_vulpes: so, see, that's a tricky question. some people have told me that small offers are noise, and i intend to do roughly zero to address that complaint, because mpex accepts them, so they're signal. if you're asking about psychobabble - of course, although i'll use my judgement, which has been known to differ from that of other people.
adlai: damnit mod6, isn't that a fiat thing? someday trb should fix the calendar, too
adlai: but thank you for reminding me:
mod6: well, time doesn't matter.. it's in the logs.
ben_vulpes: adlai: i dun much care one way or t'other, but if you don't want to get null-routed you're going to have to give more of a shit about how the other people here judge your 'psychobabble'.
ben_vulpes: you know where the void is, and the invitation to scream into it probably won't close any time soon.
ben_vulpes: hail satan, smoke meth, write c etc.

shinohai: @ ben_vulpes when you have time some evening I have a very crude bash script I would like you to help me improve.
ben_vulpes: gpg-gram and paste it to me, i'll get to it eventually
ben_vulpes: may as well just gpg-gram it to everyone in l2, who knows if someone else might get to code review before me
ben_vulpes amazed to be doing this in b-a now
ben_vulpes: fwiw the rules are simple
ben_vulpes: set -xeu
ben_vulpes: jam discrete bits of side-effect into functions
adlai knows bash better than he'd like, would rather have ben_vulpes fix it
ben_vulpes: pass args to functions for anything that might change ever
adlai: isn't this why satoshi spent two years funemployed? so ben_vulpes could have some coin again?
ben_vulpes: for big bash shit (heaven help you) have a single file with the project functions exported, and smaller scripts that import that file and then call the relevant functions
ben_vulpes: shinohai: savvy?
ben_vulpes lives in usa, will likely never own coin
shinohai: I like small, so I prefer bash whenever possible.
ben_vulpes: shinohai: anyways i have some time right now so choppa choppa
shinohai: I'm drinking so it may take me a minute to gpg
ben_vulpes: if its onerous skip it
shinohai: I assure you it isn't anything worth all that lol
ben_vulpes: well then skip it

adlai loves this "I don't own any BTC"-poker... if your paranoia is that bad, you should expatriate.
adlai: (it happens in zion as well, meni is the only guy who owns any btc and everybody else is starving for donations and 'investment' in their shartups)
ben_vulpes: terrorist, extirpate thyself
mats: hes in wot, can buy whenever he pleases
adlai: meni!?
adlai: meni has a) meatwot probably larger than this place ever got (though who knows what the future may hold), and b) no need to ever buy anymore, these days he only sells, or loses them over a game of chess
mats: idk who meni is -- am talking about ben_vulpes
adlai: the main problem with buying btc is not whence, but s/ce//
ben_vulpes: if you're long and have regular income, dollar-cost-averaging isn't the worst thing in the world.
ben_vulpes: of course one misses out on all the traderfeelz
adlai raises the SNR a little, by "leaking" the address of the local 'bitembassy's ATM: 1DdfiZffjxNypZ6NbLuMP3w84vfzXfxiqc
adlai: lots of DCAs stick a few bills there every week... and a bunch of suspicious types show up with QR code photos to buy obscene amounts with some lame story about online poker
ben_vulpes: what, it only has one?
ben_vulpes: is that its send-from or send-to?
adlai: both. it gets funded periodically, and drains itself down. hot wallets ftw
adlai: (it's a one-way Lamassu, eats bills in return for a QR)

PeterL: does deedbot accept wotpaste, or only dpaste?
PeterL: Why is the Tide's mascot an elephant?
BingoBoingo: Wotpaste is experimental so gotta ask trinque and ben_vulpes
BingoBoingo: I have no idea why they are an elephant
PeterL: The silliest mascot is Stanford's, my wife calls it "the happy dancing christmas tree"
trinque: deedbot accepts whateverpaste from people he likes
deedbot-: Bad URL or network outage.
PeterL: maybe he doesn't like me?
trinque: well. the shit isn't signed, broham.
PeterL: meh, right
BingoBoingo: Peter_L I like the story of the Illinois mascot, because it ends with him being murdered
PeterL: I have to hear this story now?
