cads: If Bob is given
a list (U_1, V_1) .. (U_n, V_n) of pairs of public keys and target prefixes, then he can economize
a great deal. For every private key B that Bob computes, he can compute P(B) once, then test whether P(B) + U_k has prefix V_k, for any k in 1 .. n.
cads: Oh, I made
a small error. s/
a vanity address V/
a vanity address with prefix V s/such that P(B) + U = V/such that P(B) + U has V as
a prefix.
cads: Two parties Alice and Bob can generate
a vanity address V with no trust. Alice generates
a random private key
A, and sends Bob her public key U = P(
A). Then Bob finds private key B such that P(B) + U = V. Bob delivers B to Alice, and Alice's brand new key is
A' =
A+B.
cads: Let P : Priv -> Pub be
a function that takes
a ECDSA private key to its public key, and let
A, B : Pub be two public keys. Then P(
A+B) = P(
A) + P(B).
ozbot: security - Can one safely buy vanity addresses from
a third party without risking one's coins from b
cads: I only know what I've learned in the half hour I've known about it, but it seems to be very scalable and fault tolerant -
a reasonable usecase may be to use it in in on
a load balancing cloud backend to aggregate all the realtime stats, and feed them to users on
a well styled JS frontend.
cads:
a site with better marketing than vanity pool may increase the demand for vanity addresses enough to make the enterprise worthy
parseval: I might tweak the colors
a bit
cads: I'm thinking it might be most economical to throw
a vanity miner into the cloud, if the demand is high enough
cads: so I could use these guys as
a marketplace for my own services if I wished
cads: seeing one implemented as
a TOR hidden service
cads: I'm seeing
a forum post where
a person offers to generate 3 or 4 sufficx vanity addresses for 0.10 BTC, lol
Namworld: There is
a safe way to have others generate your vanity address.
cads: I'm assuming that if such
a service exists it would implement
a novel secure handoff procedure.
cads: nevermind that only chumps would pay for someone to generate
a public/private key pair and then give it to them so they can use it.
cads: hey guys, are there any services out there that take BTC and give you
a vanity address of your choice?
furuknap: If you don't pray, now would be
a very good time to start.
jcpham: bitcoin is like
a commodity to me. the currency needs to ride on top of bitcoin and be traded in it
parseval: I've been skipping over pretty much everything about ripple for
a while now
Namworld: Wait parseval. I'm sure BTC can drop
a whole lot more than that.
ThickAsThieves: EBob, do you die inside every time
a forum trader says APR
Namworld: True, divs and
a business's state of affairs matter not for most traders it seems. It's just
a random walk. I assume they don't know about poker/casinos and just trade stocks randomly for the thrill.
furuknap: Depends on premium. For
a .05 premium, it probably didn't look like too bad
a deal.
EskimoBob: ThickAsThieves: if this was
a put at 4.45, what was stupid about it? some guy just had to buy back the shares at 4.45 (or pay the difference)
furuknap: It was
a put option, and I'd call that
a nice one.
EskimoBob: seriusly? read the logs? you read them. I do not give
a flying fuck what is going on here :)
jcpham: yeah EskimoBob he's
a new version of you
EskimoBob: furuknap: is everyone, with half
a brain or more, is dumping btc and running?
mod6: (23:30) < jcpham> today has been
a butal day for bitcoin << as long as the chain is being mined, its
a good day
jcpham: today has been
a butal day for bitcoin
thestringpuller: dude I'ma wake up tomorrow to see bitcoin at 20
a coin lolol

benkay: why not crash it and pick up
a mess at
a discount?
jcpham: 50's gonna get tested like
a mother
topace: i gotta figure out how to run
a websocket through cloudflare now
parseval: Speaking of which.. topace: Can you add
a trade history option to the 'General API Calls' API section? :)
topace: we've used cloudflare for
a few months now
Chaang-Noi: well off to get
a coffee, hope we are still over 2 btc when i get back...
jcpham: [HAVELOCK] [ASICM] took
a dive
parseval: I wonder if people would pay for
a bot order service. EG, you post your minimum ask or maximum bid, and the bot'll keep you at the #1 position in the queue until that limit is reached or the order is filled..
furuknap: <dub> except 400mm deep and no feet <- Sounds like
a perfect sex doll.
thestringpuller: I'm not saying it's doomed, I'm saying, it's going to take
a great deal of development that takes years of evolution.
thestringpuller: Dude, I don't like being
a dream smasher, but this is something that I've spent
a decade researching under people much smarter than I.
thestringpuller: I also recall an anecdote from MPOE-PR describing
a town where
a single sword exists that players "found" or "forged" or what not, but the town is based around that sword.
ThickAsThieves: and heard of complaints that being
a new players cucks
ThickAsThieves: was there not
a time in WoW where users wanted flying horses
dub: gamers are
a fickle species
thestringpuller:
a game based on player's constructing the world is limited. their contributions are as finite as the economy proposed. this means at launch there is 0, and everything is being hedged to getting to 1.
thestringpuller: that's irrelevant, the full play experience won't be evident for at least
a year
thestringpuller: Star Wars Galaxies during it's launch is
a really good example.
thestringpuller: Player based emergent depends on simple interactions between players. With
a limited player space, you have limited emergence meaning the full experience isn't evident for some X duration.
ThickAsThieves: and they have chosen
a genre likely to be accepted by that community
ThickAsThieves: as i see it, S.MG is bringing
a product to an appropriate community
mircea_popescu: well if you want
a hat one of the easiest ways is to make it.
ThickAsThieves: it was steampunky and i am assuming there are
a fair amount of steamers that playe dit
mircea_popescu: basically they got huddled into
a corner by some buyreaucrats
mircea_popescu: But Telsa came into conflict with Thomas Edison, America’s foremost inventor at the time, and Edison’s superior sense of business and advertising destroyed Tesla’s reputation and left him and many of his ideas frustrated and unfulfilled. Thankfully, with the rise of steampunk and
a renewed interest in nineteenth century science, Tesla has come back into the public eye and, one hopes, will finally get the recognit
mircea_popescu: kid's
a cliche wrapped in
a platitude, dipped in corny and now resting on
a boilerplate
mircea_popescu: Over the course of the film, Lowry dreams of
a beautiful woman who he finally meets in life and who he struggles to help save from the bureaucratic system. While the story is well done and engaging, the most important part of Brazil is not the plot, but rather the horrific world that is occurs in.
ThickAsThieves: "Sentiments such as creativity, individuality, morality and the sanctity of life have no meaning in such
a world" isn't that like ultimate irony?
