RebeccaBitcoin: ya thats why I wanted to ask you about the mouse entropy thing
RebeccaBitcoin: I use a different method
pete_dushenski: RebeccaBitcoin: i stand corrected
RebeccaBitcoin: suggesting I have used it in the past
pete_dushenski: either way, i hope you don't use rushwallet anymore
fluffypony: decimation: they were fighting an incredibly oppressive regime, I don't think you can hold them any more accountable than those that continued to push Apartheid policies
RebeccaBitcoin: I don't want to be late for Ronald in the morning.
mircea_popescu: somehow i don't see this education angle too much. seems it's more a case of, "let's take the land and maybe white people will just pay us to be black"
RebeccaBitcoin: overall I would say more like 75% if we include everything
decimation: after all, as I recall the ANC would necklace anyone who got "overly aggressive" in cooperating with whitey
RebeccaBitcoin: I like your post about Y combinator
RebeccaBitcoin: I said jewfro > bald mircea
fluffypony: decimation: I think the old guard within the ANC might have, but the younger guys are starting to care less and less about race, and just want to fix the lingering effects of decades of oppresion
pete_dushenski: they know more than i do anyways, so lucky you!
RebeccaBitcoin: instead I got mircea
RebeccaBitcoin: ya thats why I wanted to ask you my questions
pete_dushenski: RebeccaBitcoin: i read the logs. have you read http://contravex.com/2014/07/17/proof-that-mycelium-knows-how-to-make-a-better-rng-for-its-entropy-dongle-and-isnt/ ?
fluffypony: they're all like "every week I saw someone murdered right outside my house, until finally I packed up my family and we moved to safe America"
RebeccaBitcoin: I've heard from others that it is "continuing to go downhill" but that's based on a limited number of people, mostly from cape town
RebeccaBitcoin: I don't know enough about it to really have a valid opinion
decimation: I donno, I recall that there were plenty of overseas companies involved in Rhodesia...
RebeccaBitcoin: I see south africa getting worse and worse
fluffypony: by old-school I mean that a lot of the older ones especially struggle to shed the ingrained views that Apartheid taught them
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=biltong | biltong. Meat, usually beef, that is salted / spiced and cut into strips and dried in the sun. Popular snack in Southern Africa. I like really fresh, wet biltong.
fluffypony: we used to go up there when I was a kid
decimation: is that where all the aliens (I mean rhodesians) live?
RebeccaBitcoin: I went there a few years ago and wtf
mircea_popescu: safer than south africa for ordinary women, i gather :D
fluffypony: I don't mean paramilitary safe, but safe for ordinary people
RebeccaBitcoin: I kinda like israel
mircea_popescu: i mean all the sympathy for them people being surrounded by a bunch of arab derpage, which they consistently own bareback.

RebeccaBitcoin: Thats pretty much all I wanted to know
RebeccaBitcoin: Assuming I download the source code, it seems legit, I put it on an offline computer.
ben_vulpes: RebeccaBitcoin: <ben_vulpes> i wonder if its trivially bruteforceable
RebeccaBitcoin: Before this conversation got out of hand, i was mainly referring to the ability of this site to generate a random wallet. I've read before that mouse entropy is crap. While there are 2892383289 ^298289 possible private keys for Bitcoin, a wallet like this might be much more limited. As such, a system like this might only be capable of generating a
RebeccaBitcoin: So in conclusion: I should not store any coins with rush wallet, unless the amount is such that I don't mind losing them.
RebeccaBitcoin: I'm an aspiring hacker
RebeccaBitcoin: then tada, I'm done
RebeccaBitcoin: I'm not sure what that is
RebeccaBitcoin: yes I realize that
mircea_popescu: <RebeccaBitcoin> and it takes you more than 90 days to crack it, I would call it "reaosnably safe" << takes about two hours, if someone could be arsed.
decimation: I think they distinguish between overt and covert entry
RebeccaBitcoin: and it takes you more than 90 days to crack it, I would call it "reaosnably safe"
RebeccaBitcoin: if I put money in a wallet
RebeccaBitcoin: if I could pick it in 30 seconds I would concerned
RebeccaBitcoin: I can pick my apartment lock in approximately 5 minutes
RebeccaBitcoin: I just open safari's developer stuff and click source?
RebeccaBitcoin: they say open source but I can't find the source
RebeccaBitcoin: Safe = If I put 10btc in a wallet and post the public key here, will it get stolen within 90 days
RebeccaBitcoin: I'm ont
RebeccaBitcoin: Next time someone is like "omg Rebecca Rushwallet is awesome you should totally use it" - I want to be able to say "No, its not safe because blah blah blah"
RebeccaBitcoin: I assume not him, but his slaves
asciilifeform: i still can't fathom what people mean when they ask 'is X safe'
RebeccaBitcoin: I'm not a retard, my cold storage is safe
RebeccaBitcoin: I'm obviously not asking for that reason
fluffypony: RebeccaBitcoin: again - for ordinary users you simply need something that is completely under your control, and for your purposes Electrum is fine. It is small and lightweight, it doesn't download the full blockchain (about 20mb in downloads is all it needs thus far), and it has a 12 word mnemonic you write down to backup your wallet. It's literally all I need.
RebeccaBitcoin: and yes I realize I should ahve just bought it from mircea instead
RebeccaBitcoin: Yes, I did buy some ether
mircea_popescu: i can find your brain wallet right now. sha512sum("iamhotshit");
RebeccaBitcoin: "If I compile the php script and then reconcile it with a mysql database, then reconfigure it to your home computer's settings I can find your brain wallet"
decimation: yeah it's more than keyboard mouse I know

RebeccaBitcoin: if I put 10 bitcoin in a wallet there
RebeccaBitcoin: I don't know how to do the thing that makes your name light up
mircea_popescu: justusranvier possibly but now i forget.
fluffypony: well I guess the title of the site is a giveaway
RebeccaBitcoin: I was hoping for Bitcoin Pete, but you'll have to do
RebeccaBitcoin: to the earlier question, no, I'm not going to write a scathing review
RebeccaBitcoin: its not a meaningless distinction. Someone told me yesterday that to make a paper wallet I should use a new laptpo, and a new printer, then I should take both and destroy them. Then I should put both in a fire
fluffypony: I'm a nerd, I use Electrum
RebeccaBitcoin: I mean like reasonably safe
RebeccaBitcoin: by safe I don't mean nerd safe
RebeccaBitcoin: like if I put 10 bitcoins in here
fluffypony: ben_vulpes: I guess it's using the normal random available to JS and sprucing it up
ben_vulpes: i mean it said "okay!" after a hilariously short period of time.
fluffypony: I don't think the mouse movey thing is any worse than the the way /dev/urandom collects entropy from mouse movements / keyboard entry
ben_vulpes: i wonder if its trivially bruteforceable
Vexual: i use my left hand
RebeccaBitcoin: I have an entropy question
Vexual: i dunno, one might ace the poop outta one sememster and let a good load of stuff done
Vexual: depends how long you stay i guess
mircea_popescu: "I think Nine Inch Nail's cover of Johnny Cash's "Hurt" was better than the original."
decimation: dc is a swamp though, so I'm sure you will collect a variety of fauna
decimation: I thought studies showed that they were terrible at selecting mosquitos

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'bug zapper' on my balcony doesn't bring in 10 bux a day either. only bug parts. and yet i'm happy with it.
kakobrekla: yeah, scotland would techically work i think but england would be better.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless i misunderstand - people have to actually click the ads
assbot: 'Batman v. Superman' Moved Up More Than a Month as Warner Bros. Plots Their Superhero Schedule to 2020 | I Watch Stuff
asciilifeform: so i get a penny now and then, and in exchange... site with ads.
chetty: diana_coman: mircea_popescu hello, I got Eulora up and running on my machine and wanted to give it a try. Can I get an account for it?// pm me or join the #eulora channel
fluffypony [23:45:53] OgNasty: I don't need to discuss anything with that porn peddling pathetic excuse for a man. ;)
fluffypony: [23:44:52] OgNasty: I left a WOT rating and someone on here started crying.
fluffypony: [23:44:43] OgNasty: fluffypony, I don't decide anything. I don't run NastyFans.
fluffypony: [23:44:19] OgNasty: I simply hopped on to respond to mircea's nonsense on here and then start getting attacked before I even log off... LOL... You monkey's are mistaking my dick for a tree.
fluffypony: I don't use the word "funnest" often
