nubbins`: mircea_popescu: you're suggesting that proximity to china/ussr was more of

nubbins`: provincial govt here has
a nice trick where they issue press releases at 4:30pm on fridays
mircea_popescu: ya well herp. tyvm but
a court system that waits after hours to suck govt cock, like the recent lavabit case
mjr_: but still, access to speedy redress by law is
a big need for people
mircea_popescu: i gotta buy my own magistrate judges, this is
a scandal.
mircea_popescu: 40 consecutive 1's in
a 1-10 roll are still pretty darn unlikely.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` there's
a l'hospital rule which tells you what are the odds of Y probabilty event occuring in X tries.
nubbins`: sometimes you get
a royal flush
mircea_popescu: i mean, having 1 come out of 40 consecutive 1-10 rolls is not the same as having
a player always bet on the correct outcome 40 times in
a row
jimmy2k: how freakin unlikely is it that someone wins
a 1-9 odds bet 40 times in
a row

phungus: that is sad because BitVPS is

KRS1: true but its cool these things sometimes cross the street in the middle of
a big city
mircea_popescu: they're
a problem in costa rica too. they tend to play in the sewage pipes and sometiems get stuck.
KRS1: i've seen them 4-6 ft..thats
a big damn lizard.
KRS1: in Miami, Florida we have these big monitor type lizards that get to be that big..they've become
a bit of
a problem..people got them as small pets and let them go into the wild to reproduce.
Rulother: That guy's left hand looks to be in
a, bad position.
mircea_popescu: "i'd love to go out on
a date, but you've been drawn with the derpy pen"
ThickAsThieves: i think that artist draws with
a derpy pen, no avoiding it
mircea_popescu: is the judge that derpy ? and who's black ? dpr was
a white kid
pankkake: in the journalists' minds "racially diverse" and "urbanized" is just
a way to make them Good Guys. it doesn't matter if it's accurate
mircea_popescu: what annoys me most is that the prostitute i quoted is
a)
a pulizer prize winner and b) not actually getting paid for his sexual services.
pankkake: transforming America into something unrecognizable and urbanized is just
a way to make them Good Guys. it doesn't matter if it's accurate
mircea_popescu: get
a load of that shit. obama at 37%, one over bush's career low, has supporters now ?
pankkake: so still no communication on widthdrawal issues? it looks like even eur is taking
a lot of time
ThickAsThieves: from Gox "Finally, the implementation of this new infrastructure is
a prerequisite before we can initiate Midas. There is still
a lot of work to be done before we can launch Midas but rest assured this is
a priority project for us. Once Midas is up and running we will be able to offer the trading of other digital currencies."
mircea_popescu: if its
a fgloat i guess we're safe, good up to 10^38 if memory serves
mircea_popescu: i dunno if its implemented as two ints or
a float or what
BingoBoingo: After taking
a walk and reflecting I have updated my posts on the Bitcoin Address signed message deal. Whole venture seems less than useless the more I read about the problems.
gribble: Error: "bc" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "bc" is not
a valid command.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: I use the retard 'Murican version of
a keyboard.
dexX7: my keyboard produces
a different ´ than the one you used
BingoBoingo: Also, GANGBANGRipeMD.py found
a sixth address that could have created that signature for the message.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm authed on gribble /msg me and I will offer some things on
a more disposable venue
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've also started and aborted
a tor study.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: Still, there is no reason why Bitcoin address signed messages can't have
a container like GPG signatures do. It would be so much easier to demonstrate this is broken or solid if only there were
a standard container for signed messages.
BingoBoingo: Fuck this is why Bitcoin needs
a mother fucking Spec.
dexX7: 1. ’ is the source 2. ’ != ´ 3. strlen("’") = 3 x_X 4. it creates
a not matching signature every time, if you use ’ + more than 250 other chars
mircea_popescu: you could do this as
a succession of screenshots. here i sign X with address Y
Jere_Jones: They will, honestly, need more details.
A bug report without replication steps is fairly useless.
BingoBoingo: Jere_Jones: Honestly it doesn't seem like
a matter where I need their expertise so much as they need my accident. I mean if they know how this IRC thing works they will know to scroll up.
BingoBoingo: I imagine
a Cardano gift set with lacey panties and
a digital camera and
a second gift set with
a Cardano and
a blackjack.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One for each girl. One for each dude providing muscle. The possibilities are endless. General Patraeus would have had
a career if only he could have given his side bitch
a Cardano.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm
a bit curious because the Cardono seems like something
a person would purchase
a few of.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu asciilifeform: Is there
a rough estimate on how the Cardano will be priced?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I finally made
a nickserve account
mircea_popescu: because there's enough lols in there to keep us going through
a day or two even
[\]: address signing isn't
a replacement for gpg signing
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Rather sure. I don't have
a key for that other address in any of my wallets. The pages on the blog were some of the few things I remember making sober.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Probably they have
a bug, in the least bad imagining of things.
mircea_popescu: listen, use
a witness signature implementation and check.
BingoBoingo: Jere_Jones: At the most charitable where there isn't
a collision it ought probably assumed at
a minimum Bitcoin address signing merely sucks and is poorly implemented. If you are the sort who goes for minimums.
BingoBoingo: The problem is that 1LC9GzYK1zjrG9zAvMPExcwHTP8aPYPMyY could have signed the same message. Maybe it could have signed
a more malicious message. Fuck. Just because elliptic curves are sexy doesn't mean they should be used everywhere.
mircea_popescu: use
a proper process to turn privkey into pubkey then hash that and see what you get.
BingoBoingo: Maybe I should go to #bitcoin-dev or wherever the muppets live and troll them up
a bit with this.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The key wasn't generated on
a web based service, but
a web based service turned the public key into an unexpected address.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Jere_Jones It is just
a standard Bitcoin address's underlying public key. mircea_popescu I'm not sure what to think anymoar. I will say fuck vanitygen.
mircea_popescu: the first would be
a collision. the second would be
a case of 4+5 being sometimes 8, sometimes 9
BingoBoingo: pankkake: This isn't GPG. It is RIPEMD 160 being able to assign
a public key two (maybe more) bitcoin addresses.
Jere_Jones: BingoBoingo: Bitcoin addresses are hashed public keys, right? The private key that corresponds to that public key actually has two public keys.
A compressed version and
a noncompressed version.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah. I'm working on
a report. The report will probably be in the form of
a post titled "Fuckity Fuck Fuck" as I GPG sign
a revocation of
a certain address's message signing privileges.
BingoBoingo: So... I think math is broke. Apparently the public key for one of my addresses can hash into
a different addresss.
jurov: nosuchagency can provide it.. as
a marketing tool
mircea_popescu: jurov it couldn't identify
a good key, but it could identify
a bad one
