mircea_popescu: gcc or w/e you use
as a compiler,. for instance, also not an ada proggy. ada dun even try what lisp tried and failed to obtain, ie, a full universe.
mircea_popescu: if the convention can be "you'll need a serial capable machine",
as it HAS to can be, then convention can also be "you'll need a cpu with ror/rol implemnented". whether it is decided to make it so has no bearing on whether it could be decided to make it so. that's a 1 : it could be.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-16 15:29 mircea_popescu: tbh, this item aside (it was just given
as an ~example~ anyway), i do not expect that on the medium term we will be able to avoid "and here's the special asm library, links at link time with the rest of compiled shit" situations.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "rotation can be directly an opcode item linked
as such", how about that.
mircea_popescu: just
as reference implementation will bake in FG, and users of others are responsible for others' quirks.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-16 15:01 asciilifeform: exactly same nonsense
as the carry flag thing
mircea_popescu: or consider something
as simple
as phuctor, that already has a lot of "special" primes, however you define special (small, common, whatevewr)

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-15#1739374 << can you enlighten us about why you believe there's no way to use information about range of factors (because you say so?), and about the
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-15#1739371 as regards the number field sieve,
as this doesn't seem to be published (or perharps for quadratic sieve). elliptic curve does benefit from smaller factors, but if the...
mircea_popescu: it may appear beneficial to instead produce larger sets, such
as of 4096 bits. the UPPER BOUND of the gain from this process is known ; the lower bound of losses from it is not known, because yes if you allow 4096 bit p, q and test, an acceptable N can be composed of the product between 17 and 2^4092 - 177 or whatever it was.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737387 << this is alternatively a perfectly acceptable approach ; expensive
as all fuck though. prolly should be the standard for homemade keys.
mircea_popescu:
as far
as anyone knows, something closer to 450 bits is what's actually needed.
mircea_popescu: yes, in about 6% of cases the N will come out
as 111..., in which case you know that both p and q are actually 1111 1111 led, ie you'll have 2 bits of each. and in 0.001% of cases N will led by FF and have the next bit set, so you'll know both p and q have the first octet set. if you have an extension attack allowing you to parlay 8 leading bits into the prime exposure, you can thereby crack rsa in 0.001% of cases.
mircea_popescu: factors that are very small are trivially a vulnerability,
as the 17 example shows. what is "small enough" is somewhat of an open question, but 512 BITS does conceiovably qualify.
BingoBoingo: Figure subject to change

BingoBoingo: Calculated

a111: Logged on 2017-07-18 03:17 mircea_popescu: the notion that bitcoin can somehow by stolen by name is so ridoinculous
as to betray its ustardian origins. bitcoin is not a name.
PeterL: anyway, I have to go take care of the kids,
as always I keep an eye on the logs.
PeterL_: hi, missed the 30 second window to identify
as PeterL
lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-15#1739265 << My ultimate goal with the thing would be to use trinque's ircbot and try and rebuild lobbesbot off of that.
As it stands now, lobbesbot is nothing more than a suite of 'supybot modules' I wrote
☝︎ trinque: I proposed that
as a better solution to portability a while back
mircea_popescu: trinque so you'd rather keep it
as two separate items is the idea here ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-15 18:43 diana_coman: and re peterl's keccak implementation trouble is that thoroughly testing it looks atm
as much work
as writing a new one in the process anyway so whatever version ends up with tests and everything is the one that will make it into v too I would say
mircea_popescu: diana_coman some bits of code, such
as heavily linked against standard hash etc would normally take a zillion reimplementations rereads etc anyways.
mircea_popescu: inasmuch
as logbot (bv item) has a genesis, it is not a branchoff. yes it imports from a different line.
diana_coman: and re peterl's keccak implementation trouble is that thoroughly testing it looks atm
as much work

☟︎ diana_coman: I get the feeling that v is not really seen
as versioning in the sense of these are the steps I took, still mulling a bit on thiw
mircea_popescu: diana_coman so what's your call, rather write
as mpi branch or rather stand alone ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. my conclusion is ima do the eu-crypto
as a new genesis, because really most of the koch crap in mpi (esp the prng crap) got dirtched
mircea_popescu: what exactly did happen ? phf wrote a fine v parser ; jurov sweated white hairs getting an email system into alf-tip-top shape only for it to not be used
as soon
as it was got to work...
phf: mircea_popescu: no, publish meaning put relevant parts into patch visualizer, i otherwise haven't published anything. log/patch visualizer is presented
as a service,
as far
as log is concerned the philosophy has been "write your own" and there's not been much interest in the v part until now
mircea_popescu: and b) correct linkage. such
as above displayed, arbitrary byte, such
as so on.
mircea_popescu: neverfmind artistic. it's
as functional
as a hammer in a pot of soup.
mircea_popescu: which is why it's even interesting to have one
as an intellectual activity.
trinque: thing'd have to know the code's
AS mircea_popescu: imo this is the correct usage of html, make the code line
as long
as it needs.
mircea_popescu: but this aside : adding the code
as text files, linked from the post is perfecty acceptable.
mircea_popescu: now, 4 can flow to 1
as it can flow back to 3, and 3 can flow to 1
as it can flow to 4 and so on and so forth. but the important point re these four phases is that they must be explicitly followed, for great personal
as well
as republic-wide gains of productivity and GDP.
mircea_popescu: phase 3, when you are done writing code FOR NOW. this is traditionally the "refactor break". this is also when you publish, explaining other than the code what you did and why, in detail. this included "i tested so and so -- i didn't test so and so"
as it includes "i asume so and so". countrary to patently false subjective intution, this is the MOST valuabler of all the phases.
mircea_popescu: a snipped of code IS NOT SUFFICIENT. you gotta say ALL SORTS of things. such
as this, yes, how it was tested and for what. and so following.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile if you DO cash it out
as you get it, you cash it out
as you get it (missing out on a along with your customer).
mircea_popescu: b) btc goes to $1. you're now on the hook for the same 3.5k, but if you didn't change the BTC to cash
as you received it, you have no way to cover for it. this possibility makes just like a, people not want to pay long term.
mircea_popescu: wer perhaps another user from before used the same nickname too << yes. someone else registered the nick, but didn't set enforcement on it.
as a result you can use it (you don't get kicked by nickserv) but can't register it yourself. ask in #freenode if they're willing to move it over to you ; if not, find a diff name and register that.
trinque: could be
as simple
as billing monthly in advance, calculating bill
as u*$operatingCost*1.15/40 or whatever margin atop you think is reasonable. $operatingCost denominated in BTC should be going down all the time
trinque: curious what happens to the price when btc buying power increases,
as it likes to do.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 05:20 mircea_popescu: your cost basis is ~200 per server. you can rent them for 3-400
as such, or can give out vpsen, which are more productive. perhaps even "shared" if particularily interested into it.
BingoBoingo: For trinque and other parties interested in shipping their own boxes, considering the current cost basis and exchange rates to get a server homed for the first year is looking like ~0.57-0.6 BTC per rack unit (minding that especially power hungry servers may count
as multiple rack units despite their physical footprint)
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i've not worked
as a caretaker of the profoundly retarded, neh, so can't say i experienced directly << Do you want to come visit before we depart for our seperate ventures? I can make introductions. Maybe even get you some shifts at the BingoBoingo store.
mircea_popescu: shall we now do the incomprehensible seed ? all the way to the witch doctors, just
as good
as medicine ?
davout: "Let's
as X to accept buttcash donations"
mircea_popescu: the problem with "tide lifts all boats" is that where boat is comes
as function of boat not function of "tides".
davout: the thing that amuses me, is that they seem to be rehashing exactly the same nonsense
as proper bitcoin reddit was doing 3 or 4 years ago
phf: hehe, somehow i read every single thing that BingoBoingo wrote about the girl
as some form of double entedre
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> is this code for "bb got laid" << Nah, she's a white girl. Practically has a Cherenkov glow of warning signs, but is making an effort to stay sober. Is however a source of entertainment watching the petite weapon of mass destruction operate. Much
as the BingoBoingo is a valuable customer service lab, driving this kitten around is valuable wmd development lab.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Girl I've been driving around
as favor for her sponsor.
mircea_popescu: the pacepa nutteries with assassinations etc -- footnote, if present. then,
as now, ~nobody gave a shit.
mircea_popescu: it was that a) it didn't know what to steal (
as per above re lisp) and b) it couldn't steal fast enough.
mircea_popescu: defected
as a 50yo. a 50yo ready to claim oswald worked for kgb.
