mircea_popescu: how much bw did it burn this month ? got a stat anywhere ?
davout: moon bounce is a thing apparently
mircea_popescu: davout finally something about bitcoin with no maffs in it. they've been waiting patiently a long long time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that makes a certain amount of sense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think a little bit of the whole spam strategy is at work. they WANT the smart folks to lose interest early.
asciilifeform: i've been considering adding a user-contributed factors box
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic you got a blog or anything ? where you gonna post ?
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu: I factored a 32-bit mirrored one yeah, currently i'm trying to factor a non-mirrored small one
mircea_popescu: if you care to hack a py script, i think it could be bolted onto phuctor.
Apocalyptic: 17:19 <+mircea_popescu> which seem mostly to be a case of "take p, q random numbers, skip on testing for primality." // having a fully factored modulus would help to confirm this
mircea_popescu: which seem mostly to be a case of "take p, q random numbers, skip on testing for primality."
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-02#1461046 << seems like the schmuck sat down on one of the helpfully prepared stakes - wrote 'apple' a bug report, which was duly read at ft meade on account of his using 'apple' key as appears on phuctor ☝︎
mircea_popescu: people click, it's a webpage, what.
phf: well, it did, but i have a backup always, so unless there's a complete breakdown, logs are retained. i need to add an autoreconnector, but as is usually the case with that sort of things, i'm limited on time
asciilifeform: at least i was hoping for leah on a jp toilet
mircea_popescu: jurov possibly needs some padding. pgp keys are a festival of arbitrary and nonsensical fixed widths and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: in other news of vague interest, i burned ~13GB on trilema today alone, of which at least half to be attributed to phuctor discussions (mostly not in english). it's been a while since any event actually visibly dented trilema stats. too lazy to check on phuctor, but i imagine it's headed into terrabytes, what with its endless single pages and whatnot.
asciilifeform: best of all, if you can find a copy of the source.
asciilifeform: iceblox: if you are sure that the key is yours, actually yours, (there is a number of keys on sks maliciously corrupted in a way that they appear to have the legit fingerprint when viewed in certain pgp clients)
danielpbarron: is your key actually broken or is it just a weird exponent?
mircea_popescu: the most effectual approach is to put a broken key of yours up on sks, and wait for alice to mistake it for yours.
piratsimon: anyhow, wont bother you any longer. ;) have a nice day. we got finally sunshine. bb
piratsimon: sry mircea. that was a classic misunderstanding. we both did assume something. ;)
mircea_popescu: piratsimon you could ask that then, neh ? the pile of keys being worked on come from a dump of sks servers.
piratsimon: thats why i was curious what key you did factorize? because - yes - it was my name and a really old email address of me. but actually not my key. not even my revoked one.
mircea_popescu: piratsimon you used a different key. http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/FC96CBFBF66B4E8996A0960C8B95EC5D1CD4B1A860719C7AEA00B3E06E41CE1B << these two are weak.
mircea_popescu: "He was Vice President of CSCSS (Centre for Strategic Cyberspace and Security Science) with a focus on collaborating government bodies in securing cyber systems. Wright has trained government and corporate departments in SCADA Security, Cyber Warfare and Cyber Defence."

punkman: piratsimon: post it on pastebin, maybe someone will give it a try
mircea_popescu: piratsimon no ; but given what we know about these keys it's a trivial exercise.
piratsimon: mircea, have u successfull attacked a private key you dont own and did you successfull decrypt some strong encrypted file wighout possess of the private key?
JusticeRage: I stumbled upon a stacktrace by accident
JusticeRage: At least it was the case a few hours ago
JusticeRage: That's a security issue and you should probably disable that :)
mircea_popescu: can there be a numeric value for this "loooooooooong time ago." ?
mircea_popescu: leaving aside this whole "at a meeting with hitler's propaganda minister, we saw it, swear!" angle.
mircea_popescu: lettuce have a partay!
roxfan: i want to submit a key to phuctor but i have only raw N and E, not GPG format
mircea_popescu: what's a rox
punkman: "Mr Wright does not want to make public the proof for block 1, arguing that block 9 contains the only bitcoin address that is clearly linked to Mr Nakamoto (because he sent money to Hal Finney). Repeating the procedure for other blocks, he says, would not add more certainty. He also says he can’t send any bitcoin because they are now owned by a trust. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/4hcvvi/200_pgp_keys_and_counting_publicly_broken/ << a look, you're famous nao.
punkman: I sent a coupla mails after previous phuctoring, nobody wrote back
GyrosGeier: I've found one from the same org as myself, with a key they use, which is signed by me, so that is clearly theirs
asciilifeform: GyrosGeier: some of the keys (marked 'mirrored' under 'notes') were part of an organized flimflam campaign by an unknown (likely nsa) party exploiting the fact that old versions of pgp used the bottom 32 bits of a modulus as the fingerprint.
asciilifeform: GyrosGeier: the caveat is that anyone can create a key with whatever name string in it.
fromphuctor: Thank you. Have a good day.
mircea_popescu: i guess we'll have to write a tool for this eventually, willy-nilly.
fromphuctor: Would that be a good assumption to make?
asciilifeform: GyrosGeier: you probably have a DSA or ECDSA key.
GyrosGeier: Error: Was that really a GPG public key? Try again.
fromphuctor: Okay. So apparently a lot of people messed up their cryptography, and had non-prime exponents (or very small primes) for some weird reason.
fromphuctor: Wouldn't a bigger prime exponent be more difficult for an adversary to crack?
mircea_popescu: in fact... 65537 makes SUCH a good e, not using it is triple-eyebrow raising.
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor it's not that hard to find prime numbers. in general, rsa keys should be seeded from a good entropy source.
gabriel_laddel: Anyways, I'm a bit busy atm, have not been able to get the full masamune replication working, which is irritating. but I do have customers waiting on me, which is exciting.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: sometimes not really having a job is a bit of a chore.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between "what it is" and "how it works".
fromphuctor: It's a public key encryption scheme, right?
mircea_popescu: i suppose within a few hours it makes the front page (again) and then it gets replaced with an "official science" replacement...
asciilifeform: grunting at a MB/s or so, yes
mircea_popescu: a cool
mircea_popescu: aha. prolly a setting in python neh ?
mircea_popescu: i think her mommy had her with a constrictor snake and she had a square bone in her neck.
mircea_popescu: hey, one of the best natural cocksuckers i ever encountered was a that-expert.
mircea_popescu: at this rate you'll end up a traffic analytics expert :D
asciilifeform: a few submitted keyz, so not wholly waste of bw.
mircea_popescu: check that out, stackoverflow got this datamining of users down to a fine art huh.
asciilifeform: mostly a snoar so far.
Birdman: Fellow eulorian, was around b-a sometimes too
asciilifeform: kinda lulzy, it was on frontpage for a few min, looks like, then manually (!) lowered into latrine
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lulzy, a good bit of traffic, but rating permanently welded at '1'
asciilifeform: 'and if they did, nobody broke a key'
asciilifeform: to search for the idiocy where a diddled or simpleminded pgptron wants to generate an n-bit key, and so it craps out a n/2-bit prime and then gets next prime after it and multiplies.
asciilifeform: hence somebody 'helped' so kindly, a number of folks, to generate'em.
mircea_popescu: Known Shared Factors: 284648957608675 1118385754444484075 << yeah i guess once a modulus starts showing these, readily reduced by intertested reader.
davout: i like the idea of sending the kids outside to learn from mother nature instead of mother tv, and having the horses around instead of having to suffer a 30km drive to get to ride
mircea_popescu: &boys can gtfo make a name for themselves in the merchant marine or w/e. india.
mircea_popescu: the old people, and the poor people, can gtfo live in a village near nimes. send the daughter over, will be ok.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's called a maid.
mircea_popescu: livable city = 50% of population is virgin females < 30 in chastity belts, living on 3rd floor 4 to a room and weekly spankings.
mircea_popescu: i don't like it being a democratic city, is all.
mircea_popescu: but i like living in a city.
davout: otherwise it's either overcrowded subway, or overcrowded road, or risking your life on a motorcycle to ditch the traffic jam
davout: i want space, and a nearby airfield
davout: i like toulouse a lot, lived there for six years, but i think it's going to be in the country around nimes/montpellier
davout: i had nfi "kako de porc" was even a thing
a111: Logged on 2016-04-25 02:32 asciilifeform: in other 'news', http://imgur.com/4nqeK3A << in a museum (hands on right hand side are of pet). one of the machines on exhibit was gettable into
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4h7hqn/the_bitfinex_and_bitstamp_market_maker/ << trilema crits bitfinex for over 9k, bifinex shill pretends to not understand what a crit is and whether >9000 is larger than epsilon or not.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i dun get it ? << /ME guesses a sock of that chick with the lady boner for you
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'll be re-reading teh statements and issuing a closure for f.mpif.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yes, 3mb is a lot of digits neh.
asciilifeform: they were around a professional huckster's.
mircea_popescu: i'm not gonna fucking sit in a car while whatever shitshow progresses.
mircea_popescu: what happened to "hire security, wait for protesters to come close, beat the shit out of them with a spiked club and piss on the piled up remains" ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Look who has socks nao https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/4ha7p9/butters_too_crazy_to_be_trumpets_call_him_a/
asciilifeform: 'Alice in Icy-land: A story for children. ... Full-color illustrations, not signed. Scores of advertising booklets have capitalized on the idea of “Alice in [whatever]-land” (“Alice in Brown Sugar Land” is another favorite.) Most, like this one, have little to do with the original story, but manage to draw upon it in some way. This booklet promotes the (continued) home use of ice refrigeration at a time when electric refriger
mircea_popescu: perhaps to be doubled up with a rule that all corporations are referenced as Name (MPEx:<a href=http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.NAME>Name</a>) or Name (Scam) as the case may be.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, BingoBoingo what'd be your thoughs about qntra editorial policy whereby people are referenced in articles as John Q Random (WoT:<a href=http://btcalpha.com/wot/user/jqr>jqr</a>) or John Q Random(WoT:unperson) as the case may be ?)
mircea_popescu: which isn't such a bad idea - spares either side the aggravation.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i had the http logz scrolling in a terminal since hour 0
