asciilifeform: to proclaim one in a project which did not previously have one, creates a megatonne of work for a great many people, to no very obvious benefit

asciilifeform: what's the diff b/w 'ECDSA_sign' and 'ECDSA_do_sign' ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: what remains ?

asciilifeform: low s is useful so mircea_popescu can get his tx out without waiting a week.

asciilifeform: high s variant is exquisitely useful for when we get a pool.

asciilifeform: as in exactly same code.

asciilifeform: mod6: ok. the rationale for my suggested thing was that no-flag ought to revert to 100% classical behaviour

asciilifeform: ~we~

asciilifeform: l0l!

asciilifeform: кто ты по жизни, polarbeard ?

asciilifeform: i would also like to know ~who is~ polarbeard

asciilifeform: useful concept

asciilifeform: (i think in usa it is called 'declaration against interest' but ianal)

asciilifeform: 'admission against interest' ?

asciilifeform: or,

asciilifeform: also makes no difference ?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: let's say tomorrow some new fella shows up, new key, and admits that he is ninjashogun who lost his key...

asciilifeform: (speaking of folks with no pubkey!)

asciilifeform: where is the kennedy assassination dossier it promised.

asciilifeform: !up kefkius

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-01-2016#1384565 << i offer that such folks be given a chance to stop, asked nicely. after this, to be hit with a heavy blunt object. and then hit again, and again, until they are no longer a danger to others. ☝︎

asciilifeform: (cited earlier in this thread, that is)
