BingoBoingo: decimation: I've been following it a bit, but I dunno how much to trust the source
assbot: I'm Ashley Barr, A.K.A "Adam Turner", the first Mt.Gox employee, and alleged DPR (:/). AMA : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1MCWSDf )
trinque: also, that's a pretty reasonable vow
decimation: http://worldif.economist.com/article/8/what-if-the-panama-canal-gets-a-rival-trench-warfare-in-nicaragua "After all, what wouldn’t China pay to see one of its naval fleets one day emerging from the Central American jungle right under America’s nose?"
BingoBoingo put a bitcent against rousey tonight on a shitbook for the lulz
cazalla: or maybe a VR system like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR-lxPhGunU
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: pgp.mit.edu was a gold mine for academic keys they may not have made the transition to sks. I retrieved manually though by schoool.
ben_vulpes: <TheNewDeal> a new deal of sorts << i will give you points for this even if nobody else will
assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 23:40:28; mircea_popescu: 163 would imply a 512 bit key except iirc no key under 768 was even allowed ?
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-08-2015#1221623 << I made a point of hunting 1990's keys from universities to feed the Phuctor. Many were of short length. I though maybe they'd fall first and prime the beast, but... << bb you're awesome ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 00:13:47; mircea_popescu: you end up with a pile of html files that would conceivably be smaller than the blockchain (no sigs)
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 00:18:25; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-08-2015#1221499 << what "her" fucking choice ? since when it's her choice, have we EVER even seen a documented case of a female attacker ?
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 00:39:22; mircea_popescu: gernika it's a wonder they built, you had multilib installed for some reason ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-08-2015#1221786 << no it is not 'a wonder' - it will build on a z80!!! cross-compiler, remember ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: but it is buried in a pile of fuck-knows-what, yes
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-08-2015#1221782 << my brain pulls its frequent trick; i distinctly recalled there being a point in that thing ☝︎
TheNewDeal: a new deal of sorts
TheNewDeal: if anyone is interested in taking the no side on this https://bitbet.us/bet/1153/btc-to-top-350-before-september/ . leave me a note and perhaps we can strike a deal
mircea_popescu: and before anyone wants to tell me the author has five concubines gifted by from cornell west and is widely respected by robed pamplonocrats or w/e : i dun give a shit kthx.
mircea_popescu: aka "note : my idiocy falls apart at hte most cursory examination, but i am the sort of dumb schmuck that aims to insulate himself from this by waving hands and weaving words, rather than a thninking person"
mircea_popescu: "Note: I am well aware that dynamic documents are a huge, gaping, ugly hole in the digital imprimatur scheme. I have not expended a great deal of effort thinking about ways to better secure such documents; I'm sure this issue will be explored in detail"
gernika: I'll give that a shot
mircea_popescu: gernika it's a wonder they built, you had multilib installed for some reason ? ☟︎

gernika: Well shit. Somehow I built 64 bit binaries on a 32 bit install of gentoo.
gernika: objdump: ./bitcoind: not a dynamic object
gernika: Not sure if I accidentally built a 32 bit gentoo or what...
assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 22:21:53; punkman: " the attacker is not able to forge new valid signatures, but Seifert’s attack allows the attacker to pass — with a certain probability — the signature verification step, for a message of her choice, by corrupting the public modulus"

mircea_popescu: the balance of any address is a longint.
mircea_popescu: you end up with a pile of html files that would conceivably be smaller than the blockchain (no sigs) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: suppose you accept a new block. now you do 1) list it in /blocks/ ; 2) iterate over all the txn it includes, list them in /txn/ ; 3) iterate over all addresses included, add and substract from /addresses/address.html
kakobrekla: i dont see why save all html files beforehand if you can just dumpblock on the fly, its a stupid operations it gets done fast.
mircea_popescu: re that "academic" link earlier : wtf is WRONG with these people. i can not see a date onthe page.
mircea_popescu: to replace the useless duplicate of all the shit in a ruby install.
ben_vulpes off for a bit
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yeah, there's a reason i keep saying plain html and db on disk and stuff
ben_vulpes: kakobrekla: 'toshi' creates its db from a rails schema iirc, no surprise that it's 10x blockchain size
ben_vulpes: ah jesus insight is a shitshow that much i know from pissing on the fence in question
kakobrekla: last i checked, years ago, that was a piece of spaghetti pythons that broke weekly
mircea_popescu: having someone from here try it is still a great thing.
kakobrekla: ben_vulpes sure, and a bunch of other explorers.
kakobrekla: theres a reason for that.
ben_vulpes: 'twas a joke, joke only.
assbot: Why Dogecoin is a scam, why the people pushing it are assholes, why Business Insider is a contemptible piece of shit, why anyone who ever worked for it will be dancing in the street for nickels and why Kevin Rose is a fuckwit. Plus other considerations. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1DhWTKQ )
mircea_popescu: gernika quite exactly. reference : http://trilema.com/2014/why-dogecoin-is-a-scam-why-the-people-pushing-it-are-assholes-why-business-insider-is-a-contemptible-piece-of-shit-why-anyone-who-ever-worked-for-it-will-be-dancing-in-the-street-for-nickels-and-wh/#selection-273.0-281.82
gernika: Is the pederast epithet a reference to older VCs getting kicks from paying a bunch of young hacker boys to hang out with them?
kakobrekla: blockdumper is unable to tell you how much spendables is on a given address.
mircea_popescu: also the fact that "any node can stand up a block explorer" is just the pill to sink the fucktarded "oh herp, we invested in bc.i" shitticon valley crap.
mircea_popescu: and add a "guaranteed accurate by process" thing to it makes it wunderbar.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i see the use of a block explorer website with 0 js on it.
trinque: seems like looking for log messages in the code would be a decent way to find where to hook
mircea_popescu: at all points there's a purely injective function from blockchain to blockexplorer html pile
mircea_popescu: reorg a block ? modify its html
mircea_popescu: accept a new block ? add blockhash.html in /block/
kakobrekla: only if you keep a seperete record
shinohai: no then you are unwittingly pegged, like a fat McWhore
mircea_popescu: but, accept a new tx ? add txhash.html in /tx/ dir.
kakobrekla: if block explorer is to have any usability you imho need to expand db a lot.
trinque: you can use it like a template system... but... wai
assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 21:40:14; shinohai: Is there still interest in a lame block explorer if i pursue the project?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-08-2015#1221422 << yes. make a thing that dumps html ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this is kind-of unavoidable from a crypto security perspective.
mircea_popescu: the idea (correct, btw) was to pre-create a pool.
mircea_popescu: not a "solved problem" in my estimation, yet. future will decide.
cazalla: and i contacted them saying hey, perhaps you'd like to link to the original instead of a copy wrapped in adsense but he declined
assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 15:52:27; asciilifeform: who was it who lifted a piece wholesale? 'forbes' ?
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-08-2015#1220928 <<< forbes didn't lift an article but linked to another site which lifted a qntra story which was an exclusive ☝︎
mircea_popescu: 163 would imply a 512 bit key except iirc no key under 768 was even allowed ? ☟︎☟︎
Apocalyptic: maybe even a 512 one
mircea_popescu: was this a 1024 key ?
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall we even discussed this, in re a bitcoin fs.
mircea_popescu: it's a meaningless count.
mircea_popescu: see http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs276a/projects/docs/berkeleydb/ref/lock/intro.html specifically " (Performing multiple lock operations atomically is useful in performing Btree traversals". then realise this is jsut called recursively throughout a (large) tree for no reason whatsoever.
assbot: Logged on 01-08-2015 18:47:08; trinque: anyone give a shit about discussing cranking a magic number to 11 without discussing how the fuck it's using that many locks?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-08-2015#1221195 << too lazy to search for the mp quote saying "these schmucks are principally invovled in trying to defend their own imaginary position of power through a castle of bad code" ☝︎
decimation: ^ #b-a heraldry?
shinohai: I'd rather be known as a knight of La Serenissima.
decimation: ... to the title "Mr" as a snub to the RCP."
decimation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_College_of_Surgeons_of_England " When the College of Surgeons received its royal charter, the Royal College of Physicians insisted that candidates must have a medical degree first.[citation needed] Therefore an aspiring surgeon had to study medicine first and received the title Doctor. Thereafter, having obtained the diploma of Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons he would revert ...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thing is, their scam skillz are honed for a certain kind of largely-ritualized competition. like the antlers of ruminants. for actual combat - not so much
decimation: in the uk in particular, there is a strong tradition of 'surgeon is not doctor, but skilled craftsman'
mircea_popescu: there's a difference, you know, between faeces flinger and bed shitter.
asciilifeform: the tighter a tournament market, in usa, the more this is selected for.
asciilifeform: that's what 'go-getter type' has ~always meant in usa~. a fella willing to lie, defraud, with straight face
mircea_popescu: some people actually wanna learn a trade for chryssakes.
mircea_popescu: because no fucking laywer to date has yet asked a question he didn't know the answer to
mircea_popescu: how are they a doctor in the first place.
asciilifeform: these are folks who will throw away whole identities on a lark, not mere posts
assbot: Ron Maimon, Luboš Motl and other Internet things I hear of today for the very first time on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MErftK )
mircea_popescu: universal access to the Internet would provide a countervailing force against the centralisation and concentration in government and the mass media which act to constrain freedom of expression and unrestricted access to information. Further, the Internet, properly used, could actually roll back government and corporate encroachment on individual freedom by allowing information to flow past the barriers erected by tota
mircea_popescu: "Over the last two years I have become deeply and increasingly pessimistic about the future of liberty and freedom of speech, particularly in regard to the Internet. This is a complete reversal of the almost unbounded optimism I felt during the 1994–1999 period when public access to the Internet burgeoned and innovative new forms of communication appeared in rapid succession. In that epoch I was firmly convinced that
punkman: " the attacker is not able to forge new valid signatures, but Seifert’s attack allows the attacker to pass — with a certain probability — the signature verification step, for a message of her choice, by corrupting the public modulus" ☟︎
asciilifeform: this, famously, is why you don't ever want to give public access to a mechanism which tries to decrypt messages supplied by public
asciilifeform: and yes, you can recover bits of key from faults, ~if said faults take place on a machine with knowledge of the private key~ !
decimation: it would be nice to have a little 'secure terminal' which could store key material reliably
decimation: yeah, maybe a 'zif socket'
asciilifeform: otherwise you get current flow through all the shorts in a row/col
decimation: yeah you would need a multiplex chip
