apeloyee: "pick random" will usually yield a composite, which must
then be filtered out.
apeloyee: aha, so you're ok with
the method produces junk, so long as
the primes in range are equidistributed?
apeloyee: plox
to qualify. you want a method
to generate Nth prime, but accept
the "pick random number until prime" , despite in not being
the Nth prime generator, but no other methods?
apeloyee: "pick random" is obviously not
this
apeloyee: at
that point might as well give up
apeloyee: perharps running rabin-miller "amplifies small/temporary imperfections in
the rng, into fatal"

apeloyee: I must say
that I dont understand how "exponent 131074 reduces
to exponent 2 somehow", and what CRT has
to do with it

the Infineon-developed RSA Library version v1.02.013, specifically within an algorithm it implements for RSA primes generation. "
mircea_popescu: heh. i
think quantum computing was abandoned because it was discovered it leaked CFC gasses which are bad for
the ozone layer
shinohai: You may remember Vitalik from other great books such as "How
to run a quantum computing scam
to raise capital for a crypto scam" and "Dress like a furfag and cook your own meth!"
shinohai: "How
to fail and make people liek it - By Vitalik Butterin"
mircea_popescu: it's important
to be creative in any case.
they can produce more eth at any
time, but
the experience was valuable.
davout: according
to unverified hearsay it seems
that ~1% of
the
total mEth supply got accidentally'd
shinohai: Shit has more rollbacks
than Walmart as it is.
davout: or maybe
they'll grow used
to having Ctrl+Z as a
thing
davout: who knows, maybe
that leads
to an "Ethereum Classic 2"
davout: "This means
that currently no funds can be moved out of
the multi-sig wallets."
davout: buttfinex also has such a market with roughly
the same volume figures
davout: trade volume seems pretty low on all
these ~100 btc/24h
mircea_popescu: iirc
the confederate republic scored
this low after lee surrended and not at any point before
mircea_popescu: well, 10 day futures at 10% is
terrible in and of itself.
diana_coman: hmm, I suppose I could run a
trial
test on a batch of generated public exponents with co-prime rather
than strict prime requirements,
to see what small factors are
there but not sure if
this will say a lot really in itself; fwiw I don't feel particularly comfortable with
the idea of a non-prime public exponent but I don't have mathematical proof for weakness introduced, hence my question
jhvh1: mircea_popescu:
The operation succeeded.
shinohai rushes
to set up "betterbeastforum.com" and offer unlimited messaging and access for 5 bux a month .....
mircea_popescu: turns out it's not
the brightest idea
to deny people access
to
the body of a message if you're gonna send
that subject line via email.
mircea_popescu: shinohai part 2 of
the lulz is
that
the userbase is now revolting. "Well screw
that
then.
This website is a big hoax."

mircea_popescu: idjits don't know when
to open fire, keep waiting for "a better day".
mircea_popescu: "richest guy on planet" could not afford
tanks and missile launchers enough

hanbot: <asciilifeform> in other lulz,

this morning "riadyh ritz-carlton now detention center for saudi royals", (

tuned out when "evidence" seemed
to consist of "booking websites" not having rooms available.

to know mircea_popescu isn't building a new kind of stable.
