trinque mircea_popescu: what's your read of the exchange between pete and myself; I was hearing circular logic (no offense to pete) [00:06]
mircea_popescu re this toaster mining business ? [00:06]
trinque specifically that 'bitcoin is bitcoin' is a reason in itself [00:06]
trinque my response might be "well, why fucking bother with a WoT" for example [00:07]
mircea_popescu i think that argument holds water, to a large degree. recall the "bitcoin pervers the nsa" discussion with alf maybe a year ago ? [00:07]
mircea_popescu perverts* [00:07]
trinque that it pulls apart non-aligned organizations? [00:08]
trinque like that guy Force? [00:08]

copypaste Oh, gotcha. [00:10]
copypaste I didn't notice the different URL, sorry ;) [00:10]
copypaste OK. I'm going to embed that now. I hope it behaves well under load. Time will tell [00:11]
* mircea_popescu is curious what the load looks like [00:11]
mircea_popescu haha yeah. keeping an eye on it here. [00:11]

copypaste I stuck it on all the boards. 8chan uses a style of rebuilding where a new post rebuilds a thread on a board [00:14]
copypaste I have to force rebuild the boards we agreed to [00:14]
copypaste For it to show on all threads and indexes [00:14]
copypaste I'll go do that [00:14]

* marteen has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) [00:15]
mircea_popescu trinque essentially, an application of "bitcoin is bitcoin" is what sunk gavin. they still mostly can't believe it happened, but it did. it will again. in practice, you either implement a broken, pared down version of bitcoin, in which case bitcoin defeats you, or else you implement a correct version, in which case... you've implemented bitcoin. [00:15]
mircea_popescu this thing cuts a lot more universally than one'd reasonably expect, and quite scarily in its degree. [00:15]
mircea_popescu "you can't halfass bitcoin" is the thing. which property is why i was musing that it's more like a force of nature than anything else. [00:16]
mircea_popescu displays exactly the feynman property of "nature". [00:16]

copypaste OK done. I'll go run that rebuild now. https://8ch.net/pol/ [00:17]
assbot /pol/ - Politically Incorrect ... ( http://bit.ly/1e2CmOD ) [00:17]
copypaste Thanks mircea_popescu [00:17]
mircea_popescu o sheeit look at that :D [00:18]
trinque the idea that human action inside a monetary system will reflect the incentives/disincentives of that [00:19]
mircea_popescu mike wakes up, checks stats, is all o.O gets excited, comes here, says so before reading the log, then we link him to this k ? [00:19]
mircea_popescu trinque human freedom is a very limited thing, after all. [00:19]
trinque yep [00:20]
trinque sort of like "will steam engines be used" -> "yes, after all, they exist" [00:21]
trinque works out when considering the context the second statement is made within [00:21]
trinque gunpowder [00:21]
trinque so on [00:21]
trinque so what did I have a problem with... [00:22]
trinque it was that there's nothing to act upon within "bitcoin is bitcoin" [00:22]
trinque but I suppose so what. [00:22]
trinque sounded a bit like "after all, we're the Romans" [00:23]
decimation my cable modem 'received an update' as soon as I plugged it into the cable network. even though I owned the modem, I had absolutely no say or ability to stop the install [00:24]
decimation we did docsis once here before, it's a 'walled garden' [00:24]
trinque it's strange and a bit exciting to think that a single human can do something which then becomes almost *environmental* to the others [00:26]

* hanbot has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [00:27]
mircea_popescu and i'm not entirely sure the meta-universe is open to you at all. there isn't any space for you to "Act upon" in this enlightened, gender savvy, "i am an actor in a movie and i read the script" sense. [00:28]
mircea_popescu all you got is what you got. your wot, your job, your wife, your boxen etc. [00:28]
mircea_popescu copypaste btw you gotta rate me too! [00:29]
copypaste Oh, of course :D [00:29]
copypaste Let me finish rebuilding these boards, it's a pain in the ass to do it manually... [00:29]
mircea_popescu no rush. [00:30]
mircea_popescu and write a script! [00:30]
menahem i don't know whats up - but links to selections aren't working for me. they were at first, but not anymore. [00:30]
decimation one thing that occured to me about the 'wot concept' is that one benefits by having your wot intersect your 'enemies' wot [00:30]
copypaste i did ;) [00:31]
mod6 this is bizzare. i can only get the ssh keys to work /after/ I set a password on the user acount on the instnace (in /etc/shadow). if the user doesn't have a password set, just asks for a pw when connecting. (gentoo uclibc hardened) am i missing something obvious? [00:31]
trinque mircea_popescu: selection thing isn't working, last paragraph? [00:31]
decimation and that being that 'intersecting person' is probably a valuable position [00:31]
copypaste foreach ($config['banned_ad_boards'] as $i => $b) { echo "php rebuild.php --board $b
"; } 		[00:31]
copypaste then pipe that to bash [00:31]
copypaste :p [00:31]
decimation mod6: is it an issue with pam? [00:31]
mircea_popescu heh. everyone : try the location thing again nao ? [00:32]
decimation authentication is tricky business [00:32]
mod6 decimation: hrm. could be i guess. i'll check into that. [00:32]
mircea_popescu decimation i would imagine the larger it gets, the more useful it is. [00:33]
mircea_popescu as many times discussed, it's not about the points. [00:33]
mircea_popescu Server Load 0.03 heh i dun think this will be a problem [00:34]
decimation no, but it is not likely that wot structure would be uniform either [00:35]
mircea_popescu right. [00:35]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1131078 << more generally, as long as they pay to play like everyone else, they should be able to play just like everyone else. why not. [00:36]
assbot Logged on 13-05-2015 22:19:52; danielpbarron: i don't have a problem with USG getting 1/3 of all the bitcoin; the can only spend it once [00:36]
mircea_popescu how is a derpy usg with delusions of separation and self importance different or better from the numerous groups of derpy miners with similar delusions that came and went over the years ? [00:36]
mircea_popescu who totday remembers them all even. [00:36]
decimation I find it terribly unlikely that any formal usg employee is mining bitcoin [00:36]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1131084 << currently, cn is actually ahead as far as this thing goes. [00:37]
assbot Logged on 13-05-2015 22:20:29; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu will probably suggest that cn, ru, etc. will follow suit with -their- tv boxes [00:37]
mircea_popescu ru is entirely fucktarded, which amazes me. [00:37]
mircea_popescu but they're barely a player. [00:37]
mircea_popescu maybe because bitcoin doesn't run right on windows, who knows. [00:37]
decimation it does seem likely that someone in the world has an interest in cuckolding infrastructure [00:38]
* joecool has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [00:46]
menahem decimation i was told that canadian gov employees were mining bitcoin. however, when i asked about pools and block rewards, they had no idea what I was talking about. so... it definitely seems highly unlikely. [00:46]
cazalla i vaguely recollect someone was using the machines at the ABC (gov owned tv channel) to mine bitcoin back around 2011 [00:47]
decimation it's possible someone is using infrastructure for a private purpose, but I can't imagine it is officially sanctioned [00:48]
cazalla http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/secret-money-abc-virtual-currency-racket-probe-20110623-1ggp6.html there we go.. so technically australia gov first and bestest miner [00:48]

cazalla guy didn't get sacked either [00:48]
* paxtoncamaro91 has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [00:48]
decimation usg's style is to seize someone's bitcoin and put it in their vault [00:49]
cazalla decimation, sorta what i was thinking in regards to double spending.. why would they need to do it when they can just pay you and steal it back [00:49]
cazalla although i guess just because such scam would work on me is not evidence it'd work on everyone [00:53]
copypaste mircea_popescu: you have your first fans https://8ch.net/b/res/2684297.html [00:54]
assbot /b/ - new ads? ... ( http://bit.ly/1e2DOR8 ) [00:54]
cazalla gee that didn't take long for people to accuse copypaste of being mircea_popescu [00:55]
copypaste mircea_popescu: you should probably put target="_blank" on the ad tag so it poens in a new tab [00:55]
copypaste one guy said it didn't work [00:55]
copypaste "Blocked loading mixed active content "http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/"[Learn More]" [00:56]
menahem "Into the adblock filter it goes." lol, these people blocking some of the most valuable info they could possibly get. as MP calls it - missed opportunity. [00:57]
menahem though I must admit, I did the same thing once. [00:58]

* assbot gives voice to hanbot [01:03]
mircea_popescu copypaste i wonder what the mixed content thing is [01:05]
copypaste It works now [01:05]
copypaste Mixed content means mixed HTTP/HTTPS [01:05]
copypaste It's a new thing added by browser vendors [01:05]
copypaste They don't allow HTTP content on HTTPS pages anymore. [01:05]
decimation ssl everywhere! [01:05]
mircea_popescu ah mkay. anyway, server load was throughout < .2 so i dun think that'll be a problem. [01:05]
copypaste Great! [01:06]
mircea_popescu and i intend to keep the mix more or less varied so. [01:06]
mircea_popescu prolly a buncha people send more banners once they wake up/catch up with the log. [01:06]
decimation ^the fact that this is even possible demonstrates the laugh-ability of pki [01:06]
mircea_popescu decimation you don't understand how teh world works! [01:06]
mircea_popescu "Bitcoin is a jewish conspiracy so these guys are shills, probably working for JIDF." [01:07]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it is a specific character, in their imagination, quite akin to the nazi Jud Süß [01:32]
mircea_popescu orly ? [01:32]
asciilifeform aha but with a minus sign. [01:32]
mircea_popescu decimation i think soldiers kinda get numb anyway. [01:33]

decimation mircea_popescu: in this particular case, the guy claims that usg levies so many 'requirements' on its employees that no human could possibly fulfill them [01:35]
mircea_popescu this would not surprise me. [01:35]
decimation so everyone lies, pretending to achieve 100% compliance [01:35]
mircea_popescu sorta like taxes. [01:35]
decimation some young officers - tought from entry that lying is very bad - find the real working of usg to be shocking [01:36]

mircea_popescu dude... this shit has come a very long way. [01:38]
* mircea_popescu ran a romanian chan years ago. [01:38]
asciilifeform what is, in this context, a 'chan' ? [01:38]
decimation apparently a bbs [01:38]
asciilifeform generic term for www forum ? [01:38]
copypaste Indeed mircea_popescu. I hacked the codebase considerably [01:39]
copypaste https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/infinity [01:39]
assbot ctrlcctrlv/infinity · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1cyOHJp ) [01:39]
mircea_popescu a, you did a bunch of work there ? [01:39]
mircea_popescu but this at start was a futaba or what ? [01:39]
copypaste Yeah. It was really basic when I started. [01:39]
copypaste It started as Tinyboard. [01:39]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform in this context, a chan is a type of forum, used most famously by 2/4chan [01:39]
copypaste I wrote the catalog ( https://8ch.net/b/catalog.html ), a lot of the javascript (desktop notifications etc), all the board creaetion feaetures, etc [01:40]
assbot b - Catalog ... ( http://bit.ly/1cyOPIU ) [01:40]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what are the defining characteristics of this type ? [01:40]
decimation but no drug wars game [01:40]
copypaste There's a lot if you go back in my commit history, heh... [01:40]
asciilifeform or do they all descend from same proggy ? [01:40]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform a lightweight structure, specific cli style commands and a requirement to start threads by embedding a picture. they're purely cosmetic, it's just a sort of forum ubuntu, if you take vbulletin to be windows. [01:41]
mircea_popescu they i think all descend from the same thing (aka, futaba) reimplemented x times [01:41]
asciilifeform ah [01:41]
mircea_popescu and it all runs in php! [01:42]
mircea_popescu which is probably the cutting-edgest application php ever knew. [01:42]
decimation ^ one wonders why nobody bothered to write something like this in pure c, given the performance demands [01:43]
mircea_popescu i doubt there's actually that much of an edge to be had, unless one goes all the way to mold it into nginx [01:44]
mircea_popescu have a chaninx [01:44]
decimation yeah, good point, would have to re-create the whole stack of shit [01:44]
mircea_popescu exactly. [01:44]
asciilifeform decimation: the result of c in the hands of imbeciles is generally microshitesque [01:45]
decimation which would be like engineering a sand castle with a toothpick (to paraphrase ascii) [01:45]

copypaste Very few ads get threads made about them. [01:46]
trinque decimation: friend of mine wrote a 4chan scraper in c here -> waifu.xyz [01:46]
trinque ah crap it's down [01:46]
trinque see that's why you don't do it in C [01:47]
mircea_popescu lmao [01:47]
mircea_popescu how bad do they suck btw ? graphically i mean [01:47]
copypaste The tit one is good. I bet you get some clients from 8chan. [01:48]
mircea_popescu should be interesting. [01:51]
decimation scraper is much easier than writing the server stack. as yarvin put it "An Internet server is, above all, a massive fortified castle in alien zombie territory. The men who man these castles are men indeed, quick in emacs and hairy of neck." [01:53]
trinque nah the whole site's C [01:53]
mircea_popescu techniocally speaking apache is c too [01:54]
trinque it's a site that scrapes 4chan for webms and archives them [01:54]
mircea_popescu or was, at some point. before glibc [01:54]
decimation sure [01:54]
trinque he wrote the http thinger, all that [01:54]

mircea_popescu historical accident. [17:47]
mircea_popescu jurov absolutely. [17:47]
ascii_field one could picture a few 'cheats.' consider one: key, when promulgated, contains a large but finite set of values Q such that hash(hash(...(P)...) = Q, while P are retained as private. every signature must contain a unique Q from this set. when it is time to retire the key, you spend the remaining 'bullets' all at once. [17:47]
mircea_popescu ascii_field makes keys too big, doesn't actually offer anything other than the equivalent "at key promulgation, use it to sing a list of nonces, with understanding that statements w/io the nonce are void", let wot enforce this. [17:49]
mircea_popescu which in turn reduces to cargo-cultish supersecurity. [17:49]
mircea_popescu "oh, i encrypted this TWICE, it's much harder now!" [17:49]
ascii_field one cannot claim the same degree of 'hardness' for this as for the actual rsa, correct [17:49]
mircea_popescu there are some things that don't need fixing. what needs fixing re gpg is to use rsa throughout, rather than the current lulzatron. [17:50]

ascii_field we have technology that can, with some certainty, prove that i did something at a certain moment in epoch time, plus or minus ten minutes [17:51]
ascii_field this plus rsa is good enough to sig-only-revoke. [17:51]
ascii_field (the tech is called bitcoin) [17:52]
mircea_popescu you have a comment field in the keys as they are now. put in there "This key not valid after block 175552" [17:52]
ascii_field merely suggesting a machine-readable standard for this, yes. [17:53]
ascii_field without the current idiotic retroactive cancellation of signatures [17:53]
mircea_popescu i do not belive machines should have any imperium over valid keys. [17:54]
ascii_field more of warning-light than imperium [17:54]
mircea_popescu it's what they say. [17:54]
ascii_field not that extant gpg honors expiration dates, to virtually everybody's great annoyance [17:54]
ascii_field *note that [17:55]
mircea_popescu i think the NOTION of expiration dates is broken. [17:55]
mircea_popescu you can't un-discover some integers in a certan mathematical relation. [17:55]
ascii_field it is only broken because it mixes abstraction-hardness levels, yes [17:55]
ascii_field remember the 'what colour are your bits' article. [17:55]
mircea_popescu right. [17:55]
mircea_popescu very much along the lines of that. [17:55]
ascii_field they cannot be undiscovered, yes. and don't have a baked-in temporal peg [17:56]
mircea_popescu so, the key is there. how do you COLOR it, that's your job. [17:56]
ascii_field pegging temporality requires some kind of agreement on mechanism [17:57]
ascii_field otherwise you get disputes and wankery where there should be 2+2 certainty. [17:57]
mircea_popescu there is necessarily not going to be 2+2 wankery. [17:57]
mircea_popescu i mean certainty [17:57]
ascii_field aha. but whatever approximation is physically possible, with clearly stated limits, ought to be achieved. [17:58]
mircea_popescu what are you, from the gui department ? [17:58]
ascii_field just as digital computer, theoretically, does not exist. but the approximation we use is 'almost same' [17:58]
ascii_field i'm from the shit that actually works within physical limits dept. [17:58]
mircea_popescu ah, but mind that there's no in principle reason a computer might not exist. [17:59]

mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132148 << a simple solution to this being, of course, just making a deed. [18:00]
assbot Logged on 14-05-2015 18:10:26; ascii_field: or rather, communicating authoritatively the statement that 'anyone using this key after this moment is an impostor' [18:00]
trinque and nobody's stopping anyone from signing some JSON or what have you [18:01]
mircea_popescu My new key is X, use of Y key past this point is unsupported. Signed by Y. [18:01]
ascii_field this oughta be machine-readable. [18:01]
mircea_popescu as per trinque above. [18:01]
mircea_popescu and it specifically should be 'unsupported'. For all you know a key ends up rediscovered five billion years later. [18:02]
jurov yeah, cthulhu appears and says you rediscovered his 5bn old key which he proclaimed expired long ago [18:10]
mircea_popescu lol [18:11]
trinque so you could publish some schema for representing this and arbitrarily other such statements into the deedbot [18:12]
trinque then make reference to that deed when you use that schema later down the way [18:12]

mircea_popescu myeah. [18:35]
ascii_field this is... 7th time? we had the 'mpex discourages key upgrade' thread ? [18:36]
mircea_popescu if you can upgrade your key for free, you don't have to pay mpex, you can just find someone with a key they don't want to use anymore and they can "upgrade" theirs to yours. [18:36]
mircea_popescu mpex does not discourage anything. mpex charges, because mpex is a business. [18:36]
ascii_field aha, to upgrade key, mircea_popescu has to take a прогресс м-27м to orbit, and unscrew the old one, then retro-thruster and parachute capsule back to b-a [18:37]
ascii_field this costs approximately 30 btc. [18:37]
mircea_popescu keys are identities. identities have to qualify themselves. the qualification happens to be pay 30 btc. [18:38]
mircea_popescu i don't happen to care who your daddy is. [18:38]
jurov it's a racket yo [18:38]
mircea_popescu im that democratic. [18:38]
ascii_field mircea_popescu can charge 3000 btc if he likes, sure [18:38]
mircea_popescu but i do suspect i should increase it. [18:39]
mircea_popescu btc is way too cheap anyway. [18:39]
* mircea_popescu is off to ponder this idea. [18:39]
ascii_field aha too cheap. lusers like asciilifeform can almost afford 30 [18:40]
jurov mp is the only one to qualify being on mpex, didn't you know? [18:41]
ascii_field it's his widget. [18:41]
ascii_field how many zeros to weld on to the price, his business [18:42]

jurov they'd have to hire knuth himself to squeeze something usable out of that atrocious api [18:44]
ascii_field jurov: i thought the gnarly api was part of the 'bozo filter' just as the price was [18:44]
jurov yes and building something over it is yet another level [18:45]
jurov i suspect boilers will have much better ROI than another honest broker [18:46]
ascii_field better roi until pop, aha [18:46]
ascii_field i'm kinda curious why mircea_popescu considers a new key signed with a previous key to not be a logical continuation of the same identity. (is it because of the impossibility of hard-guaranteed revocation, as discussed in previous thread?) [18:48]
ascii_field perhaps when he wakes up again, will tell [18:48]
