asciilifeform: it is not particularly difficult for tmsr folk to avoid situation where this boojum matters. however it is quite ~impossible~ for heathens to avoid.
asciilifeform: ditto mircea_popescu's, and everybody else.
asciilifeform: at quite reasonable expense, enemy can produce a key that sha-fp's to B98228A001ABFFC7, and for which he has the priv p,q.
asciilifeform: to revisit upstack, for whoever may have forgotten, gpg sigs ONLY contain 64bit keyid. e.g., from my vpatch sigs, 0xB98228A001ABFFC7 .
asciilifeform: it was a toy, and even explicitly warned 'you must mine the block yourself, or miner can simply take the prize'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-23#1617193 >> golden lulzies, 'Note that the value of your SHA256, RIPEMD160, RIPEMD160(SHA256()) or SHA256^2 bounty may be diminished by the act of collecting it.' ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'to prevent anal punishments, we pre-inserted this road cone into your arse. this is not an accident. it is an intentional choice...'
asciilifeform: -- the -- i shit thee not -- rfc.
asciilifeform: th another 160-bit hash, such as RIPE-MD/160, for example.)'
asciilifeform: in other vintage lulz, 'Note also that unlike nearly every other OpenPGP subsystem, there are no parameters in the MDC system. It hard-defines SHA-1 as its hash function. This is not an accident. It is an intentional choice to avoid downgrade and cross-grade attacks while making a simple, fast system. (A downgrade attack would be an attack that replaced SHA-256 with SHA-1, for example. A cross-grade attack would replace SHA-1 wi
asciilifeform: lol firing squad
asciilifeform: adlai: any time you feel like doing something useful -- no shortage of items. there is, for instance, a trb knob direly needing testing, http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2017-February/000251.html
asciilifeform: lel d00d was tuned in, all this time..
asciilifeform: notice that this comes with a built-in twiddle nonce -- the key creation timestamp
asciilifeform: 'A V4 fingerprint is the 160-bit SHA-1 hash of the octet 0x99, followed by the two-octet packet length, followed by the entire Public-Key packet starting with the version field. The Key ID is the low-order 64 bits of the fingerprint. ' -- ye olde rfc4880
asciilifeform: 'ain't git-cum-pgp as good as v..?' -- somebody or other
asciilifeform: 'refused to use git for no reason'
asciilifeform: short fp was breakable on a 486
asciilifeform: well yes, specifically the full fp
asciilifeform: or git clobberer
asciilifeform: as i currently understand it.
asciilifeform: the sha1 people posted the algo. shouldn't take too much work to turn it into a, e.g., gpg fp clobberer.
asciilifeform: waiwat
asciilifeform: more like taking unknown pills.
asciilifeform: 'don't play chump games unless you stacked the deck yourself. and even then, reconsider.'
asciilifeform: mats: i learned my lesson re bbet during the leesedol thing.
asciilifeform: which, i cannot help but notice, resembles the mirrored keys on phuctor...
asciilifeform: mats: it is a little disappointing, apparently not fully general collision, but only works on strings having a certain structure
asciilifeform missed the memo
asciilifeform: they're gone?!
asciilifeform: and sexist.'
asciilifeform: 'White nationalist Richard Spencer says he’s been kicked out of a gathering of conservative activists.

American Conservative Union Executive Director Dan Schneider denounced the so-called alt-right as anti-Semitic, racist
asciilifeform: speaking of zhirinovskys,
asciilifeform: the 'respectable conservatives' are a zhirinovskian 'heat sink' and have been for decades.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they put on new set of hand muppet gloves, clitler et al.
asciilifeform: 'alt' is -- until recently -- crackpots, mr.mold et al. now is hell knows what, 1,001 remoras.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'non-alt' is the old 'gop', the one that sets up 9/11s, invades iraq, etc.
asciilifeform: fit for lafond article.
asciilifeform: and with temper tantrums at wife in lolmart, etc.
asciilifeform: nao, nobody expects to read about non-retarded 13337 t3rror1stz in the völkischer beobachter. but apparently nowhere else, either.
asciilifeform: 'Hester said he didn’t have money for bullets but could buy some in a couple weeks when he got his tax return.'
asciilifeform: brilliant.

asciilifeform: and in same fishwrap, another 'new york deathray plot', https://archive.is/me1dv >> 'The U.S. Army veteran was charged last week with trying to support the Islamic State ...

asciilifeform: in other lulz:
asciilifeform: seems to support the disk thrashing hypothesis.
asciilifeform: !~later tell mircea_popescu in re: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-23#1617048 , interestingly zoolag -- despite being an x86 comp the size of a tea saucer, and weighing ~400 gram -- has roughly 3x faster block verification (of given block) than dulap ! -- on account of ssd. ☝︎
asciilifeform: oh i neglected to revise the readme: 'they don't ever voluntarily get disconnected' is not strictly true!!!! wires are now permitted to disconnect (in catastrophic situations, e.g. flood) but will attempt to reconnect after the set interval, ad infinitum.
asciilifeform: that's pretty much it.
asciilifeform: fourth item : wires over ssh tunnel (set up the tunnel, then add 127.0.0.1:tunnelport as your wire)
asciilifeform: third item to test : two or more wires.
asciilifeform: trinque: two main things to test, afaik: 1) reconnects (let it connect, then temporarily ban ip in iptables on the other side; see how long it takes to reconnect) and 2 ) bidirectional wires, two nodes 'wired to' one another, same, in each direction.
asciilifeform: ^ [BTC-dev] (EXPERIMENTAL) Wires (rev. 1)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu , ben_vulpes , mod6 , et al : http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2017-February/000251.html
asciilifeform: ACHTUNG, PANZERS!
asciilifeform: oh mircea_popescu , ben_vulpes , mod6 , et al : the wires patch has a mistake, it fails to reconnect; please do not waste time to test it until fixed.
asciilifeform: ^ rich chronicle of lulz
asciilifeform: !#s sha1
asciilifeform: (not mega-seekrit, it was what alphago ran on)
asciilifeform: fpga farm also.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://shattered.io
asciilifeform: !~bcstats
asciilifeform: hm
asciilifeform: !~bc stats
asciilifeform: !~bc stats
asciilifeform: update: both 'wired' nodes at 454265
asciilifeform: (there is a sigop limit, but no block seek thrash limit!)
asciilifeform: disk is the real killer tho.
asciilifeform: (a 2010 here, a 2011 there...)
asciilifeform: with max nonlocality
asciilifeform: i'ma guess the elixir of slooow is: disk thrashing via snarfing of old inputs
asciilifeform: that xxxx74 block may well be close to 'worstcase'
asciilifeform: ( if you recall , that was when we had a trb node, offline, eat the complete chain to date from disk, with timer and valgrind going )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: might be interesting to extend my eatblock experiment to modern height
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: ^ who... and why??
asciilifeform: in other wtf, https://hub.docker.com/r/mazaclub/btc-therealbitcoin-base
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: next patch is a blockverify timer.
asciilifeform: btw do the prb folk have parallelized block verify yet? or do they simply eat whatever garbage.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you know moar, i'm all ears
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: block verification is ~an~ issue, world stops for 3-8 minutes when block candidate is being eaten. but is demonstrably not the cause of multi-hour blackhole.
asciilifeform: PeterL: so far i've found ~0 net effect. (earlier today thought that it was a net loss, but dulap caught up and stayed caught up.)
asciilifeform: no pasaran.
asciilifeform: to what else would you have trb 'respond as they expect', PeterL ? bloom filter? segshitness?
asciilifeform: PeterL: what part of 'prb does not own bitcoin protocol' is hard to grasp?
asciilifeform: given that contract is a thing only to the people in it -- sure.
asciilifeform: ah in that sense
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: only in heathendom
asciilifeform: quite implicit, the marriage was certainly not executed here.
asciilifeform: like long pencil erasers.
asciilifeform: smoked the smallest cigs i ever saw
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: there were formerly other ratings, but evaporated
