mod6: yah, shinohai tested these for me today. seemed to work for him.
phf: where does wallet put its transactions? mempool?
adlai: Carli-: not really, i don't think this is the same kind of procedure as googling three-ingredient brownies
Carli-: adlai: is there a guide, that you recommend for that?
adlai: Carli-: you build the tx on the online node, transfer it across the airgap, sign on offline wallet, transfer back.
Carli-: adlai: How do you make a transaction while keeping the wallet offline?
mod6: nice trinque, gl.
trinque: mod6: I just built 99996 plus funkenstein's importprivkey patch btw, bout to give it a go
adlai: Carli-: well, you can keep your wallet(s) on an offline computer, and only send the addresses around on the internet - using any program.
mod6: asciilifeform: any objections to me replacing those vpatches on the mirror now, or should I wait for you to give them a try first?
Carli-: adlai: i was just responding to his post about Armory here, plus i am interested in "offline" transacations, and Multiple Wallets Simultaneously. ☟︎
Carli-: i saw a blog that linked to this channel, adlai
Carli-: asciilifeform: cool, is there a guide that you recommend to do " pre-generated tx" ?
adlai: Carli-: out of curiosity, how did you find this place? people usually have some inkling of its philosophy when they wander in...
adlai would be reminded of travelers' checks, if he were old enough to have ever seen one
asciilifeform: nobody has seriously improved on this barbarism, at least publicly.
asciilifeform: Carli-: the state-of-the-art among thinking folk is that pre-generated tx are stored on paper and fed into a hot node when necessary
trinque: lest I shorten my days on earth trying fixing abominations like pybitcointools or btcd
adlai: Carli-: again, the point here is to simplify bitcoin to the minimal required functionality. feature creep, even if they're useful features, is to be avoided.
assbot: Axolotl (protocol) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1PiNZNb )
Carli-: asciilifeform: isn't "deterministic" kind of similar to what OTR, or Axolotl does?
asciilifeform: fact is, there ~is~ no non-braindamaged 'wallet', aside from what each of us has quietly hacked together.
asciilifeform: as i think most people here have.
asciilifeform: and i've certainly generated and transmitted tx using it
adlai: asciilifeform: would it still be correct to say that there is no intent that people use trb as a wallet? or at least, use the same trb as a network node and a wallet node?
asciilifeform: what part of 'i can quite possibly derive your key' is difficult to understand.
Carli-: asciilifeform: How do you do Deterministic or Offline Wallets, without weakening the crypto?
asciilifeform: which must at all times remain capable of bootstrapping bitcoin on alpha centauri, if necessary.
asciilifeform: and i am on record as insisting on this.
asciilifeform: adlai: the original wallet code is entirely in there
asciilifeform: adlai: this is not true
assbot: ..::[ The Bitcoin Foundation ]::.. ... ( http://bit.ly/1PiNFOB )
adlai: Carli-: note that http://therealbitcoin.org has no wallet.
asciilifeform: *to do this
asciilifeform: Carli-: it is possible to do with without weakening the crypto.
adlai: this is an operational concern. the bitcoin node software doesn't even need to know what a private key is!
Carli-: asciilifeform: well, the point is to keep your private keys on a Air-gapped computer offline forever
phf: quoted 14s is from my graph thing, and im using gpgme
adlai: Carli-: primarily you should understand that the main goals of bitcoin development (in this channel, at least) are to minimize the amount of moving parts
asciilifeform: 'this pistol fires the bullet backwards into my face. are there any ~other~ problems with it?'
phf: i thought gpgme spawns a child process and keeps it around. still pushing all that data around is expensive..
Carli-: are there any other problems with bip 32?
Carli-: asciilifeform: yes, i think one of the problems: if someone has 2 of your Private keys AND your Master Public Key, they can find ALL of your private keys. IIRC
adlai is not mathemagician enough to know how, but the construction is ~supposed~ to prevent this
asciilifeform: the other thing is that quite possibly i can derive f(n + 1) from f(n)
adlai: there are some use cases for it, sure. but there's a reason that they weren't automatically merged in despite being invented by the same people
Carli-: asciilifeform: is there something wrong with BIP32?
adlai: Carli-: lol, you should probably read the bip if you're that excited about it
adlai: this is the whole point of bip32 - backups which only need to be stolen once
Carli-: asciilifeform: i think it is something like this, not sure: SHA256(Seed + 1), Sha256 (seed +2) etc...
asciilifeform: Carli-: do you understand what this means mathematically ?
Carli-: asciilifeform: so you can back up your wallet to a piece of paper once, only 18 words long is the "seed"
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-02-2016#1395950 << recall, it calls out to gpg on shell !1111 ☝︎
asciilifeform: srsly why do folks insist on tard crypto.
asciilifeform: why the FUCK would i ☟︎
guruvan: asciilifeform: you have HD in trb?
asciilifeform: Carli-: therealbitcoin.org
guruvan: electrum - but to operate properly, you'd run your own server & node Carli-
shinohai: I said this today in pm with mod6: 17:37 shinohaiPlease no moar qt
Carli-: asciilifeform: which wallet do you use? or are there any other wallets, that can do: Deterministic, Offline transactions, Multiple Wallets ?
Carli-: asciilifeform: And you can run Multiple wallets at the same time. Is there a way to do that with bitcoin-qt? I am trying to figure that out
Carli-: asciilifeform: With Armory, your private keys never touch an onine computer. Also has "Deterministic" wallets. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Because at one point loading the whole blockchain into RAM was an idea that didn't give most people pause.
asciilifeform: Carli-: i also don't much care what the best stove for burning pieces of my sofa to heat my house would be, either
BingoBoingo: Or at least that was the point when it loaded the whole blockchain in RAM
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The point of Armory was making people with too much RAM and CPU for their own good feel speshul
Carli-: asciilifeform: Armory has "offline" wallets that you can spend from. How do you do that with bitcoin-qt? ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-02-2016#1395969 << see also the fake 'uber' cabs, and similar ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 04-02-2016 00:11:10; BingoBoingo: Case Study: Watch a shitgnome in the wild paper over its enshittening https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4420gt/the_end_of_the_road_for_armory/czmu3k5
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-02-2016#1395952 << i for one never understood the point of 'armory' to begin with ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 04-02-2016 00:08:24; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395693 << the way i expect this to work at least for a while will be shiva-p which will be a pretty limited thing and shiva-l which'll be an actual debugger and all that.
BingoBoingo: guruvan: rope the fugly meerkat?
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2016 23:36:26; pete_dushenski: y still can't buy 10% of asciilifeform's time nor 10% of mod6's. fancy that :)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395923 << pete_dushenski would vomit out his guts if he knew what buys 90% of my time ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah eventyally got to the rest of the log.
mircea_popescu: and in "views from the dirigible" news, http://40.media.tumblr.com/cb1e90b06df5ded1f71394833fb37595/tumblr_mvm35nynvq1s62w2ao1_1280.jpg
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2016 23:32:07; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395662 << not even sure this is a bad thing
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395914 << this is an ok (if wasteful of cycles) thing if using shiva only as rpc, but precludes writing any serious functionality in it ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Just enough rope for a person to shoot themself in the foot when they get surprised that rope does that
felipelalli: but yes, it's not the safest thing anyway!
mircea_popescu: but basically the same thing except as a java ?
mircea_popescu: oh like that thing online what was it called
felipelalli: mircea_popescu, thank you mircea to understand my motivation. Yes, I tried to help. The "magic" to make the thing easy was to derivate a bitcoin keypair from the username+password using scrypt. I understand this can be unsafe if the user uses a bad password, but like you said, it is just to let the lazy people to taste the power of wot.
mircea_popescu: felipelalli the reason you're getting so much grief is that it's not clear how your premises work. i mean i get it, you want to help people, and teach them about otc and so on. this is one thing. but i mean what did you do, i don't follow, reimplement gpg as a java thing ?
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Maybe change the license on the software to: "You do not have license to use this code unless you translate the Java Bytecode to Fortran 95"
felipelalli: I'll put a link to source code and in Github I'll put the jar in "releases" section. I think it is better in this way at least while the app isn't so mature yet.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo, ahahh yes. But there is no special code to WIN32 actually in Java. The "exe" was just a wrapper. But if the guy can't execute a jar in Windows he just won't be able to use WoT anyway.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: I mean you can leave source for the old win32 stuff so the lazy but desperate can still try building it. Think of it like putting the icecream shop at the mall on the top floor so fat people gotta choose icecream or using stairs.
felipelalli: danielpbarron, BingoBoingo etc. you guys convinced me to remove the win32shit stuff. I'll remove all files, actually.
mircea_popescu: o hey, check it out, i can read that.
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2016 23:21:09; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395603 << that;'s actually pretty good.
felipelalli: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395886 << thank you mircea_popescu - the article I am writing starts with a quote made by your PR translated to Portuguese: "Se você não tem uma conta WoT você não faz parte do ecossistema Bitcoin. Esse é o critério, não importa o que você possa achar. É onde todos olham, não importa o que alguma rede social tem dito pra você. Se você não está no WoT você não está no ☝︎
pete_dushenski: off to pickup new specs. if i'm not back this evening, i'll be around under 'pete_d_out' over the coming days. cheers!
pete_dushenski: "Mr. Alverado said those fake buildings were necessary because getting to the first page in Google results now took ingenuity and cunning. “You have no idea,” he said, sounding a little weary when asked about competition. Israelis were his toughest rivals, he said, and they had instilled a kind of awe in him. “I can tell you point-blank, they are freaking smart,” he said. “I really admire them.”"
pete_dushenski: "Many of the locksmith lead gens are run by Israelis, and Avi learned their modus operandi by working for them. When he landed at La Guardia Airport in 2008, he wanted to work with computers, the field he had trained for in Israel. But it was the height of the recession, and he did not have many options."
assbot: Log In - The New York Times ... ( http://bit.ly/1SIpGg5 )
BingoBoingo: It's that herding instinct
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Derps derping their way out is bullish for a 2013 replay. All we need now is RealSolid returning with yet another altcoin scam.
pete_dushenski: "Along the way, we accumulated a mess of legal and corporate complexity that has made it difficult to do anything constructive with Armory's intellectual property." <--> "You think you want to take dollar investment, you think you want to make a non-Bitcoin company ? Think again. Think long, think hard, and start with this : what makes you think a fiat company is even possible anymore ?"
