mircea_popescu: whoever wants them can put them in, like you say above.
mircea_popescu: and whatever customers may "have come to expect", bitcoin is too valuable to cater to that in breach of security and safety. so, options that are by their nature insecure shouldn't be provided at all.
mircea_popescu: that idiocy was easily excusable in 2009. meanwhile, we just don't do that.
mircea_popescu: Chillum generally, the idea being that running a wallet client and a bitcoin node on the same system (let alone in the same program) is beyond idiotic.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski is that actually the guy ? who even made mycellium ?
mircea_popescu: Chillum the problem is we know ssl to be intentionally misimplemented. as you say, on layers.
mircea_popescu: Chillum and also make your own implementation, to not depend on "implementation errors" ?
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ ssl is for any application where security theatre is +ev and security itself doesn't matter.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes he's not from reddit, he's from wikipedia. pls to not insult teh muggles with misidentification.
mircea_popescu: i don't think that's a supported usecase as of yet ? mebbe i'm behind here.
mircea_popescu: Chillum have you seen the numerous cases where we pass back and forth "plaintext" over pastebin here ?
mircea_popescu: offending people is required to participate here i thought.
mircea_popescu: but a debate doesn't become religious by declaratory relief from having to think about it.
mircea_popescu: Chillum definitely can run whatever the heck you please.
mircea_popescu: get it to any other standard, you'll do as bad as all the schmucks on windows
mircea_popescu: Chillum just all the ones you should practically care about.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ incidentally, about 5x better than sending someone to go listen to something is transcribing the something so they can read it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you wrote the meta-nsa micromanagement three ring binder too ?
mircea_popescu: "ssl will stop all but the actual attacks you will encounter"
mircea_popescu: maybe it just doesn't look like what you expect is iall.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't you use to bemoan the fact that "no valued crypto stuff is ever leaked" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, is the "valued crypto" bit starting to fuzz over there ?
mircea_popescu: "an implementation failure" ? the time we took out usg's most valuable asset and publicly shot it in the head was "an implementation failure" "?
mircea_popescu: Chillum but they do in fact ALL accept verisign master keys.
mircea_popescu: with the advent of bitcoins, things have changed. a stolen bitcoin is a stolen bitcoin no matter how the theft was perpetuated, or under what color of law.
mircea_popescu: now, this entire "yeah the usg is your main enemy but whatever, you don't really want to protect your fucking tweets from them anyway" worked to propose turdstack = pancake.
mircea_popescu: security solutions that avoid this point are exercises in disinfo.
mircea_popescu: in most practical scenarios, the only enemy any user will ever encounter is the usg.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, you're just passing (to yourself, at least) groupthink as oppinions.
mircea_popescu: yes, that's the problem there : in order to have your own oppinions you need to study the groupthink.
mircea_popescu: Chillum i suspek you have to do a bunch of log reading to acclimate to the groupthink.
mircea_popescu: apparently wikipedia is keenly aware it exists primarily as an advertising source. just... not for the fucking chinese aaaite ?
mircea_popescu: -NickServ- m_p!~matter_pa@49.207.189.76 failed to login to mircea_popescu. There has been 1 failed login attempt since your last successful login. << check it out ?!
mircea_popescu: they're not NAKED. they're in their jimbo blessed underwear.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck hijacks blog dns's ? and also... www just goes to plain domain.
mircea_popescu: you must have some weird dns issue ? what's the perceived ip ?
mircea_popescu: trinque kinda why sane people don't travel into rogue states without an army.
mircea_popescu: "how come you have something" != "how come you told us earlier this income is extempt when it clearly isn't"
mircea_popescu: it's not a question of "where it's from", but "why have you not reported it". which ideally you have reported.
mircea_popescu: it can't ask me "hey where you got your money from". unless im a politician and submitted some sort of "this is what my fortune is" statement.
mircea_popescu: it can do whatever the fuck it feels like, with its own data.
mircea_popescu: something like "always output 0 if the previous 7th output was 1" or whatever ?
mircea_popescu: i mean, a biased source is a biased source. do you mean it's not actually biased, but the bits are correlated ?
mircea_popescu: in the case of your lamp, it basically extracts phase transition errors
mircea_popescu: it doesn't "dilute" anything. if you have 1 bit of entropy per byte, it puts out one byte every eightish bytes.
mircea_popescu: there's this algorithm which consists of : flip biased coin twice. if flips agree, one thing. iof they disagree, another thing.
mircea_popescu: <Chillum> no amount of debiasing will create entropy from a patterned source << howdja figure that one ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder what % of said paraphenalia is sold to protect your goods, and what % "ticket to shooting your own guy!"
mircea_popescu: decimation makes door lock the weak point again is all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not policarbonate replacement for glass in window. it's a very highly adhesive foil, which you stick on the window
