decimation: asciilifeform: thinking about antifuse,
a 'jungle' version could be made: make
a pcb with 4096 shorts, scrape the desired bitpattern by hand. could be made into
a 'pluggable module' and hand-verified
punkman: "We found out that the website truecryptrussia.ru has been serving modified versions of the encryption software that included
a backdoor to selected targets."

a lame block explorer if i pursue the project?

decimation: I get it, managing fucktons of key material is
a serious pain
jurov: decimation: also there must be
a way to unlimited count of new addresses, which bip

Apocalyptic: 7556 iterations of gmp-ecm from inria with
a B1 bound of 43e6
Adlai is
a big fan of "magic" HD wallets, that send your funds into obscure chains... spendable, if you know where to look
Apocalyptic: also it's
a paper from Courtois, who afaik has wrote many innacuracies about bitcoin
Adlai is not advocating the use of "brainwallets" where you pick the phrase, but rather
a phrase generated from randomness + wordlist
Apocalyptic: punkman, can you be more specific and point me to
a given page/chapter ?
Adlai: decimation: you can "cold store" an infinite number of addresses in your head as
a phrase,but only
a finite number of distinct keys

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057738 << it is. people (especially people kinda too lazy to study things in depth) have all sorts of theories about privacy and keep pestering me for special addresses etc. it's
a fashion is what it is, one i don't aim to encourage, and i'm stuck because w/e, serving teh customer.
Apocalyptic: didn't investigate if they have
a particular form in base 16 or 2
decimation: seems like it's
a device to pull the wool in front of your own eyes
Adlai: it does mean that
a leak compromises multiple addresses, but that's because they essentially have the same key
decimation: asciilifeform: part of the problem is, it's hard for folks to trust what's inside
a black box without understanding what's inside
Apocalyptic: and if you're not poor, you buy
a cardano I guess
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, it's
a way of deriving addresses deterministically from an original seed using
a HMAC function afaik
trinque: I cannot fathom what's hard in here, and I'm plainly asking to be called
a moron, and why
ben_vulpes: this is above my pay grade in terms of data structures, but perhaps an opportunity to learn. is there not
a data structure available for use that doesn't have to iterate through the whole index to grab the element of interest?
trinque: like
a version control system would do
ben_vulpes: $bizpartner took me up in
a 2 seat glider the other weekend, after about .75 hrs of going in
a circle to the right i asked to come down, was put on the stick and pedals instead.
trinque: where does the abstract logic of bitcoin end and the implementation of
a shitty db begin
ben_vulpes: davout: sounds like
a lot of work. congrats etc.
trinque: should jsut be
a separate concern entirely
ben_vulpes: trinque: it's
a crime that there are no transaction indices or block indices.
trinque: aka lets invent
a database while inventing bitcoind?
trinque: ben_vulpes: widespread use of indices to deal with the fact that berkdb... ain't
a db?
ben_vulpes: besides, you'll need to write
a bitcoind of your own some day anyways.
trinque: anyone give
a shit about discussing cranking
a magic number to 11 without discussing how the fuck it's using that many locks?
☟︎ trinque: ben_vulpes: I had
a bitch-fest about "why the fuck does anything on earth need 40k locks" and got crickets
ben_vulpes: imagine my extreme disappointment when i cracked my email this morning, found
a "bullet" for the locks, and opened it to find
a config change.
mircea_popescu: trinque i never saw
a post from legit (by ip allocation) googlrbot. seen plenty from rogue agents using same user string
trinque: it could have some "back off" logic after
a 500
mircea_popescu: the result is that it sets it up for rechecking, yes, but i still only made
a get req
mircea_popescu: it's just
a get request. and google is pretty aggressive following all conceivable urls.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what makes you think that's
a form posting ?
trinque: I dunno that I've ever seen
a POST from googlebot
mod6: Note To Ubuntu 10.04 Testers: I've added
a list of install depedantcies to this email to help any build of this go more smoothly. GnuPG should be installed by default so you can check the sigs.
trinque: asciilifeform: I can regenerate that lcov output later today; I found it
a nice way to read the source
mod6: Thanks all for working lastnight to get the db locks issue resolved! I've got
a new bitcoin-v0_5_4-TEST2 bundle created. Patch added was `asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected.patch'. Applies cleanly. All automated tests passed.
mircea_popescu: aww. im sure it was just
a researcher doing researching.
mircea_popescu: i think your stay in b-
a has benefited you immensely :)
mircea_popescu: the shenanigans would come back out once
a 2nd item is found
mircea_popescu: then everyone running
a node can run that too, if they run
a webserver.
mircea_popescu: this could actually be
a reasonably decent companion project. make
a static html exporter companion for bitcoind
BingoBoingo: Gotta use
a very fine source though, targets are very tiny
jurov: nah, point
a gamma source toward ram
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 04:14:29; mircea_popescu: cazalla write to the author and to forbes editor, tell them they can either publish
a fix or else i sue.
decimation: yes, the most lulzy thing about 'goldbug preppers' is their choice of
a pile of metal vice actual people to help them in
a time of need
decimation: actually I bet
a large number of existing plants could be converted over to this design
