| BingoBoingo: | As far as I can tell, SecureDrop was some sorta pantsuit thing Gawker and a couple other derpedias advertised accepting | [09:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | but reality winner happened... afterwards ? iirc this event was post 2013, and "became what it is today" | [09:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | "usg made the us army into what it is today" "you mean a useless piece of shit, janissary corps 2.0 ?" "yeah!" | [09:27] |
| BingoBoingo: | Well, that's what it is today. It is thing derped much about and they celbrate the accreted derp | [09:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | better story, "dood took 80% pay cut trying to make a secure drop thing work failed because ustards are retarded naggumed self". | [09:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | next time, find the republic instead. | [09:28] |
| BingoBoingo: | Perhaps naggumed "self" after finding bug needing fix that handlers didn't want fixed? Threatened defection to Republic and all? | [09:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | who even knows. | [09:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | Hopefully the next one has the sense to defect to the republic before thumbing nose at old handlers | [09:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | But UStardation likely too deep for that. Gotta play seekrit Agent | [09:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | hey, it costs me ~nothing to keep reading the obits. | [09:31] |
| BingoBoingo: | Are you sure? Are the laffs worth it compared to other laffs you could be having? Like laffs on the seekrit beach | [09:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | well i dunno i can just add everything to opportunity cost, the fact that the sun's not a cube may overshadow all these considerations. | [09:36] |
| BingoBoingo: | Well yes, everything else is opportunity cost taking away from the critical sun cubing effort. | [09:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | but, in any case, salvation of the drowning is work for the hands of the self-same drowning. | [09:38] |
| BingoBoingo: | The sooner we cube the sun, strap it to a pallet and abscond the more time it will take the terrans to realize the TMSR was the alien invasion after all | [09:39] |

| BingoBoingo: | It's the someone dug through cold war freedom of information act'd plans and filtered through through NASA's recent hype over weird space rocks | [09:43] |
| BingoBoingo: | Or it's marketing for the ongoing undeath of the X-files | [09:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | heh | [09:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | or it's unsourced tlp copy/paste. | [09:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | ie "But they have to go to therapy because the clinic requires it because Medicaid requires it (integrated care), and the patients need the clinic because that's how they're getting their SSI, not to mention the Zannies. The docs need them to come because that's how they earn their living, and the government allows this because it needs someone to deal with American poverty until either we discover cold fusion or the aliens | [09:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | invade. The government doesn't tolerate this, it doesn't turn a blind eye towards it, it explicitly allows it. The only thing it forbids is billing for a service not performed (e.g. ghost patient.)" and all that. | [09:45] |

| asciilifeform: | coins as our block height increases. This setup will ensure that interest payments are always available for those that choose to participate in parking their BCI coins.' | [11:29] |
| asciilifeform: | '...If I was to park 100 BCI coins for the entire duration of the round, and there were a total of 1000 BCI coins parked, then I would receive 10% of the interest pool...' | [11:30] |

| mircea_popescu: | yup, as epic as could be had. | [11:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | that and the "bcrypt best crypt on the market" dorks. | [11:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | (the original cause for adlai friend's blacklisting in the bitcoin community, that scam) | [11:44] |
| asciilifeform: | didn't somebody do a hardware shitcoin? i.e. 'you must buy THIS box...'? or did i dream it. | [11:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | kinda stopped at yubikey/electrum looselet. | [11:44] |
| asciilifeform: | yea but that ain't quite it | [11:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | (formerly known as electrum wallet) | [11:44] |
| asciilifeform: | picture a chumpatron where 'you gotta have THIS here magic chip to mine...' | [11:44] |
| asciilifeform: | considering that microscopy costs ~= toyota, a circus like that could easily carry on, 'under the radar', for several years. | [11:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | kinda what yubikey was/is | [11:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | admitting anyone still thinks it's a thing | [11:46] |
| asciilifeform: | i thought that was a 'store yer password in this-here magic thumbdrive' thing. | [11:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | well ? | [11:47] |
| asciilifeform: | it ain't a coin scam , it's an umpteenth shit chinesium comp peripheral | [11:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | right. same diff. | [11:47] |
| asciilifeform: | by that token , asciilifeform's 'it crashed' flashlight was same thing, lol | [11:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | yup | [11:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | isn't it ? | [11:48] |
| asciilifeform: | not quite. ( i thought about discussion the difference in the orig chumpatron article, but cut it ) : there are , to borrow from algorithmics, 'linear' and 'superlinear' chumpatrons | [11:48] |
| asciilifeform: | linear is , e.g., selling 'rabbit' hats made of roadkill, or flashlights which fall apart, or ~100% of what chinese export is, really | [11:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | since the chip you discuss could be made out of extant bitcoin miner + yubikey arrangement, they must both be just as linear | [11:49] |
| asciilifeform: | i.e. every chump gets scammed for whatever pocket change he was going to spend on a flashlight that day | [11:49] |
| asciilifeform: | to round off the crackpottery, 'superlinear' is when the chumps deposit their dough, but afterwards ~go home to get more~, to bring friends, etc. | [11:50] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: every complex mechanism is made of simpler ones. | [11:50] |
| asciilifeform: | does not mean that they are all equivalent. | [11:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | yes all assemblages of cogs are gearboxes not electronic computers. | [11:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | but do go on, example of "superlinear" ? | [11:51] |
| asciilifeform: | any ponzitron, for example. | [11:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | in that it sells ideals not reals ? | [11:51] |
| asciilifeform: | in that it is a resident infection in chump's head. rather than a 'nyahaha, i sold you a cutting board painted as ipad, and i'ma run faster than you can catch' | [11:52] |
| asciilifeform: | and right, ideals. | [11:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | how is "you got a nutria sable hat" not similarly infective ? | [11:53] |
| asciilifeform: | it could be, if the 'sable hat' is sufficiently convincing, that victim goes and gets whole village to line up and buy 'cheap sables' | [11:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | quite. | [11:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | like say, "college education" | [11:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | an ideal pretending to be a real. and convincingly, it'd seem. | [11:54] |
| asciilifeform: | usually self-limiting infection, tho, when the villagers go out to sell these 'cheaps' dearer, they run into folx who can tell the diff | [11:54] |
| asciilifeform: | hey did mircea_popescu ever write a piece about 'collegism' and the prev ver of very similar scam in 18th c. poland ? | [11:55] |
| asciilifeform: | where they ended up with ~20% of population having 'titles of nobility' with 0 real fief to go with ~any of it | [11:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | similar discussion embedded re both argentina and marriage/fertility | [11:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | but i dun think poland specifically. | [11:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | but yes, that's how "pan" got to mean "sucker" | [11:56] |
| asciilifeform: | there may have been other folx who shot themselves in the foot on similar scale, but i can't think of who other than the poles | [11:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | hey, "modern democracy" man imagines self some kind of 17th century french noble, has all the problems of same and none of the resources. | [11:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | ~50% of argentina is lawyers. | [11:57] |

| asciilifeform: | think of it this way, would you rather converse with a person, or with a talking piece of pavement ? | [15:14] |
| from_ffa: | v.pl[v9994]:L398 -> `rm -rf $press[0]` if -d $press[0] | [15:14] |
| from_ffa: | so is it really necessary to nuke the dest dir when pressing a vpatch? :| | [15:15] |
| ben_vulpes: | yes, one does not press a patch, one presses a tree. | [15:15] |
| ben_vulpes: | if you want to patch an existing tree, the patch util is to your left | [15:15] |
| asciilifeform: | because of the retarded way in which gnupatch behaves ( it tries to merge, even though v ~explicitly~ forbids the CONCEPT of merge ) it is necessary | [15:15] |
| from_ffa: | at any rate, if I run "v.pl p ~/workspace ffa_ch1_genesis.vpatch" I expect to find ffa alongside all other projects. not an empty workspace dir with ffa in it | [15:17] |
| from_ffa: | consider at least documenting this, please :) | [15:17] |

| TomServo: | asciilifeform: aha, I just noticed danielpbarron lowered his price.. so I was curious. | [22:49] |
| danielpbarron: | i did? | [22:49] |
| danielpbarron: | a bunch of people got some for 200 USD | [22:49] |

| TomServo: | asciilifeform: Am I mistaken there are 2 types of fg? 1 usb, 1 rs232 ? | [22:59] |
| asciilifeform: | only 1 type. different cables. | [23:02] |
| asciilifeform: | ( generally i recommend that users obtain own cable ) | [23:02] |
| TomServo: | asciilifeform: got it, thanks. | [23:03] |
| asciilifeform: | fg speaks standard rs232 , 115200b,8,1,0 , at 5v | [23:03] |
| asciilifeform: | ( '1 type' is strictly speaking not correct, there were several editions, but all functionally SAME, only slight cosmetic diffs ) | [23:05] |
| shinohai: | asciilifeform: do you have the archive.is link handy to the fg schematics? | [23:11] |
| asciilifeform: | shinohai: click the banner on my www | [23:12] |

| shinohai: | oh cool, thanks I missed that | [23:13] |
| asciilifeform: | http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=fg | [23:13] |
| asciilifeform: | i am still, incidentally, waiting for somebody to admit to making his own fg | [23:14] |
| asciilifeform: | it is every bit as much of a wholesome thingtodo as making own vtron, imho | [23:14] |
| asciilifeform: | but so far 0 reports. | [23:15] |
| shinohai: | Well I was thinking of attempting this, since as of yet have been unable to purchase. | [23:17] |
| asciilifeform: | shinohai: why unable ? | [23:19] |
| asciilifeform: | they're in stock ( both here and at danielpbarron's , last i knew ) | [23:19] |
