decimation TAT's altcoin should be ported to work inside Ethereum [00:40]
decimation maybe you can trade altcoin for ethers or whatever [00:41]
mircea_popescu does that actually require any chances on the coin side ? [00:41]
mircea_popescu ethereum can just do it neh ? [00:41]
jurov i vote for porting bernankoin [00:42]
decimation right, Ethereum just does whatever, because it's turing complete. [00:43]

ThickAsThieves [17:41] by your definition that makes Altcoin just as purposeless though, right? [00:46]
ThickAsThieves [17:44] Wrong, i just stated its purpose. Without Altcoin, all altcoins would be purposeless. [00:46]
deadweasel and the circle of life goes on. [00:46]
deadweasel circle-jerk* [00:46]
mircea_popescu my magical future predictive ai (whose name is joan) fails to predict any possible alternative to this thing taking over altspace. [00:47]
mircea_popescu it's just too stupid for anything else. [00:47]
Namworld Wait, in the header. What's the name on the board. It ends with O. [00:47]
mircea_popescu Namworld some localised monopoly. [00:48]

mircea_popescu i think so [00:48]
mircea_popescu spanish or italian or some shit [00:48]
Namworld Weird [00:49]
Namworld Couldn't they have just changed the y for an i? Monopoli [00:49]
Namworld Would have sounded about the same as in english that way. [00:50]

nubbins` as an aside, i find "scammor" to be a pleasant, if unintentional, spelling [00:53]
mircea_popescu no, it was intentional. [00:53]
nubbins` even more pleasant, then [00:54]
mircea_popescu hacker - haxxor [00:54]
pankkake is that glamor+scammer? [00:54]
nubbins` brings me back to a heated grade-school argument over "better" vs "bettor" to describe one who bets [00:54]
mircea_popescu scammer - scammor. to distinguish between the fucktard and the person sort-of doing it, technically, but with coolness excuses. [00:54]
pankkake so when you get scammed, you can say "at least the guy was good" [00:55]

mircea_popescu some scams are fun. you go to vegas and drop a coupla grand, whatever, it's an amusement park. [00:58]

herbijudlestoids this interview is supposedly about decentralisation of energy but seems to cover the idea that crowdfunding, p2p lending etc: "Even the assistant director general of the Bank of England, Andy Haldane has said this is showing signs of becoming such a trend, such a potential mega-trend, that it could disenfranchise the main banks, the high street banks in the way that I think some of these trends in renewable energy [05:17]
herbijudlestoids i guess this is the article he was referencing http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/9749573/Crowdfunding-could-revolutionise-lending-says-Andrew-Haldane.html [05:20]
herbijudlestoids definitely considering the aggregate demand for junk bonds it does seem there is a lot of stupid people out there willing to fund anything [05:20]
mircea_popescu derp. [05:21]
mircea_popescu imo "crowdfunding" as in, kickfunder etc is a fad not unlike social media. [05:21]
mircea_popescu then again, i'm the god of bias. [05:21]
herbijudlestoids i personally dont disagree, but interesting to hear someone from BoE say that technology could kill banking [05:21]
herbijudlestoids i guess its probly more efficient for the economy for people to fund bad ideas directly than have to buy junk bonds in the bad ideas [05:22]
lewicki not if they all commit suicide first... [05:22]
mircea_popescu yeah, interesting to me too. in the following sense : a londoner goes to the country, and upon hearing a goose meow he expresses his astonishment : listen to the cock neigh! [05:22]
Duffer1 i wish people would stop throwing money at kickstarters [05:22]
Duffer1 until kickstarters start offering equity [05:22]
mircea_popescu anyway. bad ideas being funded is a serious problem for any society. [05:23]
herbijudlestoids they cant offer equity [05:23]
herbijudlestoids if they offer equity then they fall under the various financial regulations [05:23]

herbijudlestoids ah right right [06:01]
herbijudlestoids i see [06:01]
herbijudlestoids my main concern is if you setup a legit, correctly secured darknet site, its just going to make you an even bigger target for the NSA really [06:02]
herbijudlestoids youll be going up against a very scary adversary who will hand your details over to the FBI or local equivalent as soon as they de-anon your server [06:03]
herbijudlestoids not sure the risk/reward is skewed in your favor [06:03]
Vexual or visa versa [06:03]
mircea_popescu why would you be in the us ? [06:03]
Apocalyptic ^ [06:03]
herbijudlestoids why would your location matter to the NSA? [06:04]
Vexual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLixRMmzsy4 [06:04]
herbijudlestoids in fact being in the US is pretty much the only legal defense against NSA spying lol [06:04]
mircea_popescu herp. [06:04]
Vexual :) [06:04]
mircea_popescu 1. nsa is nowhere near as competent as they'd like you believe [06:04]
mircea_popescu 2. most jurisdictions couldn't give less of a shit about the us and its problems. [06:05]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 1 @ 0.24310363 BTC [06:05]
mircea_popescu the idea is to implement technically sound solutions. this means god himself can not de-anon your server. [06:05]
mircea_popescu if you can't do that, you've got little business doing it in the first place. [06:05]
mircea_popescu it'd be like bitcoin relying not on chain but on people being nice to each other. [06:06]
Apocalyptic i really don't see HK or Russia extradite a drug marketplace owner [06:06]
Vexual make it cant break it only existed very recently [06:06]
herbijudlestoids the way i see it workin gis something like this: FBI discovers new online drug marketplace, probably tipped off from dutch intelligence or similar agency who actually has the knowhow. they poke it, cant de-anon it, and so they call up the NSA to take a poke. initial pokes are unsuccessful so they go all out against it. [06:08]
herbijudlestoids somehow i feel like the NSA is probably quite competent enough considering the resources at their disposal ;) [06:08]
mircea_popescu except they have a list of things to do [06:08]
mircea_popescu and a list of people that can do it. [06:08]
Vexual yeah snowden tok it with him [06:08]

mircea_popescu that puts further pressure on the manpower available. [06:09]

mircea_popescu and how many jobs need doing ? [06:10]

herbijudlestoids true that unemployment for good ops is very low to nonexistent in our particular sector atm [06:11]
herbijudlestoids mostly i write the puppet modules and we hire meatsacks to watch errors [06:11]

mircea_popescu decimation well is it a bank or is it money storage ? [07:45]
decimation money storage for me [07:45]
mircea_popescu you could have that, i dun see why not. [07:45]
decimation with a convienent loan-matchmaking system [07:46]
mircea_popescu course at least for psychological reasons it's prolly better to have the storage and the banking business separated. [07:46]
herbijudlestoids how about the bank that lets you choose what rate you are willing to loan your money out at [07:47]
decimation the hilarious thing is that the fiat gov't would think they have leverage over you [07:47]
mircea_popescu decimation folks love to think this, story of my life. [07:47]
herbijudlestoids if you choose, say, 0% it cant loan the money out, at 0.5% only low risk investments, etc [07:47]
mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids maybe. the problem here is this : the more choice you give people, the more fuckwited they are and the more scams you enable. [07:47]
mircea_popescu so in practice you want to either give all choice or no choice. [07:48]

herbijudlestoids well what would i need the bank for, if i can for example loan 10 day money in a liquid market to some business directly, and then when i need some money sell the appropriate amout of 10 day loans back into the mkt? [07:58]

decimation it's the quis custodiet ipsos custodes problem [08:14]
mircea_popescu in general, the problem is vast. the day your average us citizen has decided that politics is a problem that other people should solve for him, so he can focus on w/e his job is [08:15]
mircea_popescu that day politics got fucked irretrievably. [08:15]
mircea_popescu yet people don't generally want to nor generally can be renaissance complete personalities. [08:15]
decimation which is the current situation more or less [08:15]
mircea_popescu well, the same is true of everything. [08:15]
mircea_popescu the day you quit cleanning your house it will cease to be clean. [08:16]
mircea_popescu the day you decide your financial security is "to be" ensured by nebulous third parties... [08:16]
mircea_popescu guesswhat. [08:16]
mircea_popescu they may be experts, but they aren't you. [08:16]
decimation even if they start out competent and strong, the inevitible incentives to cheat... [08:16]
mircea_popescu if you never talk to your girlfriend [08:16]
mircea_popescu ever [08:16]
mircea_popescu she will eventually quit you. [08:16]
herbijudlestoids unless youre mute [08:17]
mircea_popescu see ? this seems to be a rather universal rule. [08:17]

herbijudlestoids :P [08:17]
herbijudlestoids lessons in personal responsibility from mircea_popescu [08:17]
mircea_popescu well more like... you know... what alternative shall i have, woe unto me. i dun see one, other than lieing it you [08:18]
mircea_popescu (dun worry baby it'll all be alright) [08:18]
decimation "intellectuals" call it the "noble lie" [08:18]
Vexual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QCZ_bv9aLc [08:18]
mircea_popescu yes, but apparently you won't have classes, and be happy inferiors of some selected caste of masters. [08:18]
mircea_popescu this makes such lie impopssible. [08:18]
Duffer1 herbijudlestoids it's a lot better than lessons from Labcoin :P [08:18]
mircea_popescu the original observation, however, to wit that politics has very quickly diminishing marginal returns, and in general you don't need more than 100 men involved in it in any case, is sound. [08:19]
mircea_popescu (fun fact : 50% of all wealth today is owned by 97 people, i hear) [08:19]
herbijudlestoids noway [08:19]
herbijudlestoids sauce? [08:19]
mircea_popescu research it, im curious if it can be confirmed [08:20]
herbijudlestoids i think its a lot lower, more like 8% :P [08:20]
mircea_popescu 1% own 40%, according to the un. [08:21]
mircea_popescu i guess it depends on how conspiracy-minded the approach is. [08:21]
Vexual yeah thats the humanitarian brach of the nsa [08:21]
Vexual not really [08:22]
herbijudlestoids yes i would agree 1% own 40%...so what is 1%? seventy million people! [08:22]
herbijudlestoids another number i found for 2013 is that 29 million own 39% of global assets [08:22]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13750 @ 0.00093454 = 12.8499 BTC [+] {2} [08:22]
mircea_popescu yeah, of which 69`999`923 people do banking with a select few :) [08:22]
herbijudlestoids lol [08:22]
mircea_popescu so in the end... [08:22]
herbijudlestoids nowaybro, if global assets includes say, a cashflow positive farm or car factory or whatever then that piece of ass(et) doesnt matter who you bank with [08:23]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [HMF] 4 @ 0.02969 = 0.1188 BTC [-] [08:23]
mircea_popescu methinks i was forcing a point. [08:23]
herbijudlestoids i have heard a number that the richest 100% own a lot, but the number i heard was like 8% [08:24]
herbijudlestoids err s/100%/100 people/ [08:24]
Vexual it mght affect where you are able to sell your product effectively herbi [08:24]
decimation well, it certainly is the case that money will stay in the hands of those who have the ability to hold it [08:24]
decimation and that those people are rare [08:24]
mircea_popescu ownership is a muddled thing anyway. so you own your house. you can't set it on fire. you can't dig a hole in the livingroom. etc. [08:24]
decimation everyone else needs an arrangement with the local duke or landgrave [08:25]
mircea_popescu decimation you know what a house mother is ? [08:25]
decimation Like someone who stays home to raise the children? [08:26]
mircea_popescu no. [08:26]
mircea_popescu heterosexual couples ended up doing cellular families, somehow, for some reason. [08:26]
mircea_popescu at least in the english world. [08:26]
mircea_popescu gay people however, tend[ed] to live in groups [08:26]
mircea_popescu also other opressed groups (entertainers, especially sex workers, for instace ; drug users definitely) [08:27]
Vexual hookers [08:27]
mircea_popescu much like average people going out to drink have a designated driver, these cvasi-familial arrangements have a house mother [08:27]
mircea_popescu who is the sort of... well.. landgrave, technically. [08:27]
mircea_popescu resolves "whose hairbrush it really is" disputes [08:27]
Vexual i tak eit you dont mp [08:28]
herbijudlestoids its my fucken hairbrush [08:28]
mircea_popescu in most large towns cops reflexively seek him out in any conflict [08:28]
Vexual lol [08:28]
mircea_popescu this meanwhile has expanded to college aged kids, who are in fact an opressed group by now. [08:28]
decimation yeah in frat houses in us universities there is often such a person [08:28]
mircea_popescu not deliberately, just, they're too fucking dumb and uninformed to survive in the world as it is. [08:28]
mircea_popescu and so slowly the model spreads [08:28]
mircea_popescu there's your landgrave. [08:28]
Vexual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F57P9C4SAW4 [08:29]
mircea_popescu so in the end, the future looks like, two to six slaves living i nthe care of one master, who gets in the wot and tries to make sense of whether mp or x or y is more sensible to keep his house's money. [08:30]

mircea_popescu in the end, this all yields a richer conenctivity in society, [08:31]
mircea_popescu and it's a well known fact that the more connected model always emerges victorious. [08:31]
Vexual yeah then it breaks people starve and start over [08:31]
mircea_popescu which is fundamentally why england conquered scotland rather than the other way around [08:32]
mircea_popescu even though it was a scottish king who did the union [08:32]
decimation yeah here's a blog that shows a map of individualism vs. collectivism https://hbdchick.wordpress.com/2013/09/07/national-individualism-collectivism-scores/ [08:32]
Vexual say that in an aberdeen pub [08:32]
mircea_popescu i woudln't call this collectivism tho. [08:32]
mircea_popescu possibly because the term is in my mind strictly related to stalin. [08:32]
decimation the individualist are better at coordinating things on a large scale [08:32]
decimation Interestingly Hungary is a major outlier in Eastern Europe [08:34]
mircea_popescu is this hbd supposed to be "sanity ready to fight spurious accusations of racism" ? [08:35]

decimation her thesis is that many of the behaviours people exhibit can be traced back to inbreeding vs. outbreeding [08:36]
mircea_popescu https://hbdchick.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/individualism-collectivism-hofstede.jpg?w=460 [08:36]
Vexual how can hungary inbreed, the border keeps moving [08:36]
mircea_popescu no seriously ? can i lol yet ? [08:36]
mircea_popescu the us is under 50. [08:37]
mircea_popescu "remember that it’s the individualists who seem to work together best towards the collective — the BIG collective — society as a whole — a nation, for instance. meanwhile, the “collectivists” (as hofstede calls them) — or the clannish groups (as i call them) — don’t manage to handle, or even to create, commonweals hardly at all." [08:38]
mircea_popescu this is really very naive 1930s whig anthropology. [08:38]
mircea_popescu for one thing, the clannish groups don't actually need the large constructs like the alienated individuals do. [08:38]
mircea_popescu but anyway. [08:39]
Vexual yeah [08:39]
herbijudlestoids i need a cheeseburger [08:39]

Vexual whats the marinade, i cant translate, too salivating [08:55]
mircea_popescu Tot in practica eu n-o marinez in otet, cum e ideea nemteasca, ci-n vin, ceva rosu (in imagine dinsus aveti un cupaj de Merlot / Pinot Noir de la Recas.

Vexual yeah [08:56]
mircea_popescu also in practice, i don't use vinegar, like the germans, i use wine, something red (depicted above, merlot/pinot noir from recas) [08:56]

mircea_popescu so since pretty much anyone here has a better knowledge of webstuff than i do, here's a question : [15:59]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 22800 @ 0.00093333 = 21.2799 BTC [+] {2} [16:00]
mircea_popescu inasmuch as you're going to do a site with accounts, which people can log in over http (stupid as this may be) [16:00]
mircea_popescu wouldn't the best practice be, that upon user registration you generate a user salt and a nonce, send these as a hashed cookie, [16:00]
mircea_popescu and upon each subsequent login you a) check if the user has the old cookie ; b) hash the salt, store it, increment the nonce, store it ; c) send a new cookie [16:01]
* kleinessteak (~kleinesst@f051081134.adsl.alicedsl.de) has joined #bitcoin-assets [16:01]
mircea_popescu if your salt+nonce -> cookie process is deterministic you can even verify it's the same actual user to any arbitrary degree of fineness (such as, same ip) [16:02]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [MS] 25 @ 0.005 = 0.125 BTC [16:03]
mircea_popescu the question being, is anyone currently doing this ? [16:03]

* nubbins` bows [16:16]
mircea_popescu anywya : hi in romanian is, to this day, "buna ziua", ie good day. [16:16]
mircea_popescu the ancientest response to this is "may your heart be good, stranger" [16:16]
mircea_popescu used liberally cca... 1700 [16:16]
nubbins` that's bordering on an arabic level of eloquence [16:17]
mircea_popescu romania had been bordering on an arabic invasion of the western world all through the middle ages. [16:17]
nubbins` well there ya go! [16:17]
nubbins` peace be upon you as well, etc [16:18]
mircea_popescu for instance the town i live in, has been sieged by the turks and by the germans about 18 times, switching sides like 7 [16:18]
mircea_popescu because it controls the only easy access into the west from constantinople. [16:18]
nubbins` fun fact, i only learned two arabic phrases when visiting morocco [16:18]
mircea_popescu bismallah being one ? [16:18]

nubbins` "cutting a rug" is a euphemism here, but not for what you'd think [16:21]
mircea_popescu dancing ? [16:21]
nubbins` you're more perceptive than most [16:21]
nubbins` also known as "having a scuff" [16:21]
mircea_popescu you know, all that grammar truffles doesn't know. [16:21]

nubbins` how do you not have any arabic fonts installed? [16:23]
mircea_popescu amusingly, it reads like a square with f0f0 written in it, which'd be a short form of a romanian euphemism for... cunt, of course [16:23]
KRS- ah thats why [16:23]
mircea_popescu fofoloanca. [16:23]
* azi`_ is now known as azi` [16:23]
KRS- haha [16:23]
nubbins` right in the fofolanca [16:23]
mircea_popescu maybe it's really fdfd and im just being freudian [16:23]
pankkake mircea_popescu: most websites, and almost all frameworks I've seen, only use a cookie that isn't refreshed, and is either left to expire stupidly, or never expiring [16:23]
mircea_popescu pankkake so then this'd be beyond my comprehension. why in the fuck ? [16:24]
nubbins` pankkake: fuckit, drive space is cheap ;p [16:24]
pankkake if you add a signed timestamp to the cookie, maybe you can limit logins from old stolen cookies [16:24]
mircea_popescu obviously you have to chain cookies if you're using that retarded method of keeping track of user state. [16:24]
nubbins` my favourite euphemism for pussy these days is "ham wallet" [16:24]
mircea_popescu what are you, an aluminum siding salesman ?! [16:24]
nubbins` great for industrial buildings as well as the home! [16:25]
mircea_popescu (guy walks into a girlscout cookie clambake. as the festivities progress he keeps getting more and more excited [16:25]
KRS- pankkake: good luck with that cookie strategy if you are using multiple web servers [16:25]
mircea_popescu eventually he asks a supervisor : so when do you skewer their meatflaps already ?) [16:25]
mircea_popescu KRS- what'd be the problem ? [16:25]
pankkake KRS-: it's a signed cookie, not session cookie; and managing sessions over multiple servers is possible too [16:26]
pankkake but usually the process is that you have an auth cookie (lifetime = high), and a session cookie (lifetime = short) [16:26]
nubbins` managing sessions over several servers is commonplace [16:26]
pankkake and we're only talking about the auth cookie [16:26]
mircea_popescu pankkake so is the session cookie changed on each pageload ? [16:26]
KRS- Load balanced web servers would associate that cookie to one particular web server, if the load balancer stategy isn't carefully chosen (if possible) when the load balancer shifts traffic the cookie could become invalid beecause another web server doesn't know about the cookie. [16:26]
nubbins` ^ [16:27]
mircea_popescu KRS- inasmuch as they all run your code they all know about the cookie. [16:27]
nubbins` have seen this [16:27]
pankkake no, it doesn't change, that's the point [16:27]
mircea_popescu pankkake well that's fucktarded. [16:27]
pankkake unless you store session data in it, but usually it's just a secret ID [16:27]
nubbins` had to troubleshoot a web app once where there was a round-robin load balancing setup. each new page request launched a new session, up to a max of 3 (the number of servers) [16:28]
KRS- I've dealt with this problem before. You have to carefully pick a load balanced strategy or pick another session persistence. [16:28]
mircea_popescu why so much derp ;/ [16:28]
pankkake the session cookie isn't kept. if you close the browser, it's removed, etc. [16:28]
pankkake it's a poor's man stateful over stateless crap [16:29]
nubbins` what are you guys talking about, anyway [16:29]
mircea_popescu very poor man. [16:29]
KRS- This is my kind of it work, not much of a developer..love this stuffl. [16:29]
mircea_popescu today we learn nubbins` doth not read the logs [16:29]
nubbins` i read like halfway through today [16:30]
nubbins` lotta noise ;( [16:30]
KRS- pankkake gets it =D [16:30]
KRS- sysadmin pankkake? [16:30]
pankkake but the auth cookie thing is interesting. it wouldn't be so hard to write a more secure implementation that most of what's out there [16:30]
KRS- true [16:30]
nubbins` oh jeez, literally right before i joined [16:30]
pankkake sysadmin for fun and dev for work, basically [16:30]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 17200 @ 0.00093336 = 16.0538 BTC [+] {2} [16:30]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 2 @ 0.16366666 = 0.3273 BTC [-] [16:30]
KRS- ya its hard to find work as sysadmin where I live, but the work lasts a very long time. [16:31]
KRS- secure [16:31]
nubbins` so let's suppose the user loses their old cookie, what then? [16:32]
KRS- sign back in [16:32]
KRS- unless like pankkake said, its just a signed cookie not session [16:32]
nubbins` but http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-02-2014#474411 [16:32]
nubbins` you're no longer verifying it's anybody if the old cookie is gone, no? [16:33]
pankkake ooh actually I wrote something like it earlier, without thinking much about it. the auth cookie has an expiration, but at every session cookie recreation, the auth cookie is refreshed [16:33]
nubbins` sure, but suppose the user clears his cookies. [16:34]
pankkake so it allows auth cookies that still expire fast, while not forcing you to relogin if you visit the site often [16:34]
pankkake well any cookie removal logs you out obviously [16:34]
KRS- mitm comes to mind [16:34]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6651 @ 0.00093273 = 6.2036 BTC [-] [16:34]
* kleinessteak has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) [16:34]
nubbins` so you can verify it's the same user logging in each time, unless they perform a relatively common, semmingly benign action, like clearing their cookies [16:35]
nubbins` why even bother with all the hocus pocus? [16:35]
KRS- maybe to incorporate the salt+nonce that mircea_popescu was talking about? [16:36]
KRS- not sure [16:36]
pankkake it's a way to ensure you only have fresh cookies - stealing old cookies cannot work [16:36]
pankkake helps prevent replay attacks… kinda [16:36]
nubbins` hm [16:36]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15766 @ 0.0009273 = 14.6198 BTC [-] [16:36]
pankkake it's not going to be very good [16:37]
nubbins` seems like rubber bands and paperclips [16:37]
pankkake when I did implement that thing, it was more because I wanted cookies to expire in a smarter way [16:37]
nubbins` if you're that worried, just let the auth cookies expire after a half hour. [16:37]
nubbins` there's no "keep me logged in" checkbox on my bank's website [16:38]
nubbins` if you're worried about cookies being stolen, there should be no such checkbox on your site either [16:39]
pankkake my bank is using RC4 "encryption" [16:39]
pankkake 128 bit too [16:39]
pankkake and if you try to force it to do something else, it rejects you [16:39]
pankkake lol, banks [16:40]
nubbins` when i lived in korea, my bank required that i ran an activex control, had a cookie stored on a usb thumb drive, and asked for two separate five-digit codes from a list of about 50 that were provided as a wallet-sized card [16:42]
nubbins` before i could even enter my card number :o [16:42]
nubbins` such intentions, many fail, etc [16:42]
asciilifeform ah, korea, land of eternal IE6. [16:42]
nubbins` ^ [16:42]
KRS- why RC4 [16:42]
KRS- securing transport layer is hard anyway [16:43]
pankkake mircea_popescu: http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/api/authentication.html see reissue_time, it looks like those guys thought of it too :) [16:43]
pankkake KRS-: probably because of the BEAST attack, but they must have botched the configuration [16:44]
KRS- hopefully they are using it together with another mechanism, which is probably the case and would be just fine. [16:44]
pankkake no, they are very incompetent [16:44]
KRS- seems to be the case everywhere.. [16:45]
pankkake 1) it's a bank 2) it's a FRENCH bank 3) their website reeks incompetence [16:45]
KRS- pankkake I've done a lot of consulting...from the private sector to government..none of them got it right. I imagine the big guys do like BOA, Google, etc. [16:46]
pankkake sadly the gpg over http projects seem to go nowhere [16:46]
KRS- One exception was the Florida Turnpike Enterprise (a private business implementation of a government roadway function to accept tolls and what not)..they had a firm grasp on I.T. security from their payment processor to their wireless roadway nodes..I was very impressed. [16:47]
KRS- Ya wonder why that is..it seems pretty solid to me. [16:47]
nubbins` years ago i did maintenance on a lottery corporation website [16:48]
nubbins` THEY had security figured out [16:48]
pankkake CACert allows you to authenticate with a browser certificate, though. I don't know any other website allowing it [16:49]
mircea_popescu pankkake too late, ima post it. [16:51]
nubbins` i should take a dump before the gym [16:51]
pankkake post what? [16:51]

mircea_popescu "please look in your manual to continue moving larry around the lounge" [16:59]
KRS- pankkake: probably because the CA cert won't complete the certificate chain for the general public. The cert would have to be signed by a custom CA I think. [17:00]
nubbins` lel yeah [17:00]
nubbins` "to continue sir graham's quest, type the 8th word on page 5" [17:00]

ThickAsThieves we are zoomed in to different parts of the 'wot' [19:41]
mircea_popescu seems so. [19:41]
ThickAsThieves i never said trust cant be develped [19:41]
ThickAsThieves nor that a wot cant be trusted [19:41]
nubbins` twizt, weed costs about the same to grow as tomatoes [19:41]
nubbins` plant-for-plant [19:41]
ThickAsThieves simply that over time, a trust system breaks down [19:41]
mircea_popescu it's more than trust, tho. it's about control. [19:42]
twizt wish i could grow yo [19:42]
ThickAsThieves and bitcoin is probly no different [19:42]
nubbins` consider that an ounce of weed should cost the same as a dozen hothouse tomatoes [19:42]
twizt my life would be 100x easier [19:42]
mircea_popescu what people in your wot say controls what you do. [19:42]
mircea_popescu which makes the wot a distributed political system [19:42]
mircea_popescu it's just that "distributed" does not mean one to many, as the nationalist representation of bork would have it. [19:42]
nubbins` a wot is not a static thing [19:42]
ThickAsThieves and what if we vote into power the wrong powers [19:42]
nubbins` i could trust someone fully today [19:42]
mircea_popescu it means few to one which groups in few to one which groups in few to one etc. [19:42]
nubbins` and then tomorrow he tries to strike my wife [19:43]
nubbins` now i don't trust him at all [19:43]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves if YOU vote the wrong guy YOU are screwed. [19:43]
nubbins` and any wot in which we both exist has changed [19:43]
ThickAsThieves suppose bitfury has 66% of mining right now [19:43]
mircea_popescu this is kind-of the gist of the old mpoe-pr post re personal responsibility [19:43]
ThickAsThieves just in their back pocket [19:43]
mircea_popescu "if all idiots vote in the wot like it is a nationalistic election, you will get a wot that works like your fucking country" [19:44]
nubbins` i rate +3 the users i'm most likely to enjoy drinking a beer with" [19:44]
nubbins` feel free to add the missing " or remove the dangling one [19:45]
nubbins` tautology either way [19:45]
twizt sounds like a martingale to me [19:47]
ThickAsThieves another thing I have trouble with is how we can easily point out the problems with inflationary money, but when we discuss the problems with deflationary we stop at "well hopefully it calms down" [19:47]
twizt some people can be trust worthy 99% of the time, and the 1% of time they get sketchy [19:47]
mircea_popescu we do? [19:47]
twizt can out weigh the 99% of times they were 'good' [19:47]

deadweasel glad he was trustworthy, twice! [19:54]
ThickAsThieves [18:10] we're kinda saying all spending of bitcoin is bad business, right? [19:54]
ThickAsThieves [18:10] yes [19:54]
ThickAsThieves [18:11] we're saying that the quick increase in the btc rate puts responsible, competent ceos in the position where they forego fiat deployments [19:54]
ThickAsThieves [18:11] this is a major problem for bitcoin atm. [19:54]
ThickAsThieves [18:11] atm, or forever? [19:54]
ThickAsThieves [18:11] no argument. which is why it's a problem. [19:54]
ThickAsThieves [18:11] ThickAsThieves hopefully it settles down. [19:54]
nubbins` me too [19:54]
nubbins` he sent first, even :0 [19:54]
deadweasel whoa [19:54]
nubbins` ThickAsThieves, mircea_popescu: all spending of btc is not bad business. [19:54]
mircea_popescu but this is an interfacing problem, not a deflation problem [19:54]
mircea_popescu you'd have the same difficulties if you landed in zimbabwe with a trunk full of dollars : [19:55]
ThickAsThieves does the interfacing problem exist without deflation? [19:55]
mircea_popescu you can't "invest" in zimbabwe until their failrency settles down [19:55]
ThickAsThieves does deflation "settle"?> [19:55]
mircea_popescu there is no deflation caught in that discussion at all. [19:55]
ThickAsThieves what amount of settling is likely or required? [19:56]
mircea_popescu it's just the fiat bubble bursting. [19:56]
ThickAsThieves same result no? [19:56]
ThickAsThieves when fiat bubble is done, will we not continue to deflate? [19:56]
mircea_popescu in the sense jumping out of a plane and having a piano fall on you yield the same result. [19:56]
* cipi is now known as CiPi [19:57]
mircea_popescu it's just that parachutes do little to protect you from falling objects. [19:57]
ThickAsThieves more like jumping off the earth vs out of a plan [19:57]
nubbins` it behooves one wealthy in btc to delay purchases/spending for as long as possible [19:57]
ThickAsThieves youll die from both [19:57]
mircea_popescu when the fiat bubble is gone we will actually deflate, but the effects of THAT are not judgeable by this. [19:57]
mircea_popescu besides, bitcoin is hugely inflationary. [19:57]
nubbins` but that's distinct from never spending at all [19:57]
ThickAsThieves but you wont land jumping off the earthj [19:57]
mircea_popescu much more so that fiat CLAIMS to be [19:57]

mircea_popescu https://blogideologic.wordpress.com/2011/10/21/mafalda-in-cultura-populara-a-romanilor/ [20:06]
mircea_popescu it's an actual historical person. [20:06]
nubbins` after skimming this article, i now understand [20:07]
nubbins` ;p [20:07]
ThickAsThieves i guess this conversation nullifies another question i had [20:07]
nubbins` you guys don't have paragraph breaks in romanian? [20:07]
ThickAsThieves during the recent NY panels, we do they only mention volatility, and never bitcoin's deflationary problems [20:08]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 4 @ 0.04979777 = 0.1992 BTC [+] [20:08]
ThickAsThieves why [20:08]
mircea_popescu because they read trilema. [20:08]
ThickAsThieves which i guess i should reform to, why do they not worry about hoarding [20:08]
ThickAsThieves answer is, cuz there's nothing they can do about it [20:08]
mircea_popescu why do you think hoarding would be a problem ? [20:09]
ThickAsThieves i guess [20:09]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 129 @ 0.00295299 = 0.3809 BTC [+] {3} [20:09]
ThickAsThieves wouldnt extreme hoarding cause more volatility? [20:09]
mircea_popescu let's do the following mental experiment. [20:09]
mircea_popescu suppose the original satoshi prototype only had 2.1mn total bitcoin, and original block reward was 5 btc. [20:10]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 90 @ 0.00295799 = 0.2662 BTC [+] {2} [20:10]
mircea_popescu what, if anything, do you think'd be different today ? [20:10]
ThickAsThieves core devs would add decimal places? :) [20:10]
mircea_popescu right. [20:10]
mircea_popescu now, imagine a different situation, in which 18.9 mn bitcoins have been hoarded. [20:11]
mircea_popescu why would things be different ? [20:11]
nubbins` s/hoarded/saved [20:11]
mircea_popescu strictly because those 18.9 mn coins COULD BE SPENT. but if they're spent... they're no longer hoarded. [20:11]
ThickAsThieves well it leaves potential for intense volatility [20:11]
mircea_popescu hoarding is self limiting. you either hoard or matter. [20:11]
mircea_popescu yes. it does. [20:11]
mircea_popescu guess what ? intense volatility hurts large holders most. [20:12]
mircea_popescu yet another point of elegant beauty typical of satoshi designs. [20:12]
asciilifeform that's sorta like saying that falling out of an airplane sans parachute isn't really so bad, i fell out of my bed as a boy once [20:12]
mircea_popescu definitely intelligent design at work here. [20:12]
ThickAsThieves heh [20:12]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform which part you mean ? [20:12]
asciilifeform traditional argument - if enough of the hoard were dumped, one could see a catastrophic stampede [20:13]
mircea_popescu sure. [20:13]
mircea_popescu but it is in fact the people hoarding that have least interest to see this happen. [20:13]
ThickAsThieves then hoarding is just building a bubble [20:13]
mircea_popescu the incentives are correctly alligned, which is the absolute most you can say of any system [20:13]
asciilifeform well that would depend on who's hoarding and why [20:14]
mircea_popescu notrly. [20:14]
mircea_popescu money perverts. [20:14]
mircea_popescu you can go into it thinking anything you wish [20:14]
mircea_popescu you'll come out of it thinking what it needs you to. [20:14]

mircea_popescu or perhaps... [20:16]
mircea_popescu anyway, take the nsa satoshi hypothesis. so the nsa spent 5mn making this thing, which we all embraced. as part of that expenditure it has premined 10mn BTC, which it kept, secretly. we don't know. [20:18]
mircea_popescu today at nsa headquarters, "sir, i would like to apply for permission to spend 10bn usd dollars in btc equivalent by dumpting our stash" [20:19]
mircea_popescu "we don't have 10bn in the budget. application denied." [20:19]
jayk hohoho [20:19]
mircea_popescu bitcoin, even should it have made by nsa, has actually taken it over. [20:19]
mircea_popescu win. [20:19]
ThickAsThieves and for Anarcho Satoshi? [20:19]
jayk JP morgn wants to take it over [20:20]

mircea_popescu there's no way to ensure it won't be tat taking it over, with his own version. [20:20]
ThickAsThieves well thats obv [20:20]
mircea_popescu that's the problem here. bitcoin selects for and promotes some very narrow, specified things. [20:21]

ThickAsThieves they likely learned their lesson about confusing their audience when they announced that new thing that never happened [20:28]
ThickAsThieves what was it [20:28]
mircea_popescu specifically, small countries had problems with their clipped/worn currency [20:28]
mircea_popescu in general, a small outlier could take over the entire world economy by doing something smart like this. [20:28]
jayk overstock has gone up $15 in 1year [20:28]
jayk they now accept bitcoin dont they [20:28]
ThickAsThieves lol [20:29]
ThickAsThieves that outlier would have to have some way to get trust and establish a blockchain [20:29]
ThickAsThieves like google putting its own into Android [20:30]
mircea_popescu no. like getting the ok of someone in the space with enough authortiy to ok it. [20:30]

mircea_popescu they are attacking bitcoin. perhaps in the manner an ant attacks a rhino, but nevertheless. as far as the ant is concerned, in its own system of representations, that's what's going on. [21:29]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-01-2014#469653 [21:29]
benkay entertaining and all but from the ants perspective how is what they're doing an attack? [21:30]
mircea_popescu ant will kill rhino, skin it, wear the skin as king of the jungle. [21:30]
benkay like 'i am startup and will rule all the buttcorns'? [21:31]

ThickAsThieves blg you misunderstand [22:37]
benkay tee hee [22:37]
blg i didnt read the scrollback at all once again i apologize [22:37]
pankkake the cost would be mostly having to run each coin daemon/pool [22:37]
pankkake otherwise, everything is automated [22:38]
pankkake well I don't know how to automate the windows build [22:38]
benkay yeah we skip windows build [22:38]
mircea_popescu automate the windows build IN CLOJURE [22:38]
benkay no. [22:38]
mircea_popescu come on, if this isn't sexy i dunno what is. [22:38]
pankkake no people are mad if there is no windows [22:38]
benkay really? [22:38]

pankkake yes. first posts of bernankoin :( [22:39]
Duffer1 the world isn't ready for MP coin ^.^ [22:39]
ThickAsThieves help us centralize decentralization [22:39]
Duffer1 still rely on windows deployment for mass adoption [22:39]
mircea_popescu coelho has warped ThickAsThieves' brain to the degree i don't know when he's paraquoting anymore. [22:39]
benkay windows over os x? [22:39]

ThickAsThieves maybe with contract with USG for UScoin [22:41]
ThickAsThieves we [22:41]
benkay okay so concerns [22:41]
benkay i don't want to run this [22:41]
lippoper we should make a pizzacoin [22:42]
benkay more than happy to set up servers etc but it must be actually run by not me [22:42]
ThickAsThieves well it should run wherever whomever knows best thinks it should [22:43]
benkay location is another concern i want delegated to capitalizers of operation [22:43]
mircea_popescu what's "location" ? [22:43]
ThickAsThieves of servers [22:43]
benkay well there's an altcoin market involved right? [22:43]
mircea_popescu if he doesn't run it how exactly could he establish location [22:44]
mircea_popescu benkay altcoin-to-coin stricjtly. [22:44]
mircea_popescu we don't encourage the use of scamfiat. [22:44]
benkay ofc [22:44]
benkay so needs dedi [22:44]
mircea_popescu definitely. [22:44]
blg mircea_popescu: i'm PM'ing you if that's ok [22:44]
mircea_popescu you'll be herp-ddos'd all the time too. needs a decent dedi. [22:44]
mircea_popescu go ahead [22:45]
benkay colo with mpex? [22:45]
mircea_popescu then again this could easily live in the cloud. [22:45]
mircea_popescu prolly better that way as you'll have inelastic loads lal the time [22:45]
benkay no way are you suggesting putting wallets on virtual instances [22:46]
mircea_popescu why not / [22:46]
jurov benkay: no way you are suggesting putting wallets on frontend webserver [22:46]
mircea_popescu ^ [22:46]
benkay right [22:46]
benkay oh well sure web heads are virtualized [22:47]
mircea_popescu so they'r evirtual. what of it ? so are you. backup well, be happy. [22:47]
jurov and amazon does offer persistent storage since 2 years ago or so [22:47]
benkay talking about different things here [22:48]
mircea_popescu jurov you wanna host this ? [22:48]
benkay i'm talking about linode-style virtualization compromises of wallets [22:48]
mircea_popescu benkay no because they can't read CLOJURE [22:48]
jurov and i'm asking why does one need zero-latency wallet access [22:49]
benkay one doesn't, jurov [22:49]
jurov it can happily live 50ms away [22:49]
benkay mp stoppit [22:49]

mircea_popescu windows lips compiler ? [22:51]
benkay agqreiuhglerjbgaksdljbfsd [22:51]
mircea_popescu preferably as a python module ? [22:51]
asciilifeform obligatory turd! http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42 [22:51]
mircea_popescu can you compile lisp in python run on linux via cygwin ? [22:51]
asciilifeform (how many people keep a flame war strong for ~5 yrs) [22:51]
mircea_popescu (provided of course you use ALL CAPS in the code) [22:51]
benkay mircea_popescu: http://docs.hylang.org/en/latest/ [22:52]
jurov only with javascript and node emulation layer [22:52]
* ericmuyser has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [22:52]
mircea_popescu jurov you mean they could get this in phpmyadmin ? [22:52]
asciilifeform write it in INTERCAL. [22:52]
mircea_popescu cause that'd help, they know phpmyadmin [22:52]
jurov implemented in haskell [22:52]
mircea_popescu but all the fun aside, srsly, a foss clojure implementation of this would actually be a great thing. [22:53]
benkay so: dev priorities then [22:53]
Namworld What the heck is this you are all talking about? Some retarted process that equals job security because you're then the only one able to update and maintain the business apps and software? [22:53]

benkay exchange, coingen, poolgen? [22:54]
mircea_popescu benkay all 4 are needed out of the gate. [22:54]
mircea_popescu anyway, from what i read of lisp it is very productive and should be easy if you know what you're doing so like 500 lines of code. [22:55]
benkay what's number 4? [22:55]
