mircea_popescu: For 99% of investors who could make Bitcoin happen, the answer is a resounding "NO."
mircea_popescu: The realization that I had gotten in to bed with a criminally minded guy, leaves me to only blame myself. Nothing changes the fact that I am ultimately responsible to the people who have been in my support. What's worse is that *very few* real world investors want to touch anything Bitcoin related with a ten foot pool. If you have to ask yourself why, take a look at the current price. Look at the ponzis (Pirate), look at the most ro
Chaaaang-Noi: he said a bunch of bs then locked it
Chaaaang-Noi: i made a thead so people could respond
Chaaaang-Noi: he makes a claim
Chaaaang-Noi: "Jonathan Ryan Owens locked Rebate, Zip.A, Alberto & BDT thread "
kakobreklaa: this was a server faliue
kakobreklaa: not a valid ticker i guess
Diablo-D3: kakobreklaa: do me a favor
usagi: Yes the coin control stuff is a good place to start
usagi: Well the idea I have so far is to mark each private key (and address) with a locked flag, as I stated, then freeze spending in CWallet::AvailableCoins() for example. Then a second feature would be to encrypt individual keys.
mircea_popescu: wasn't that guy that coded some useful coin control stuff a year ago, it;s still not merged ?
kakobreklaa: ill take a look
usagi: but on a key by key basis
usagi: Kind of like encrypting a whole wallet and still being able to maintain balance info as transactions come in
usagi: So theoretically if I put a bool locked in, say, CWalletKey (?).... and then.... um
usagi: I'm looking at CWallet::AvailableCoins() for example, which is a good place to prevent coins from being spent, if you can connect a tx to an address/privkey
usagi: I need to be able to encrypt private keys on a key by key basis
Diablo-D3: actually, I think I saw a papercraft one
Diablo-D3: Ive always wanted a domo kun, small enough to sit on the corner of my monitor
Diablo-D3: theres even a wikipedia tan
EskimoBob: Diablo-D3: dry humping a panda?
kakobreklaa: >>As far as I can tell Alberto can fix the current issues; and even if Bitdaytrade ends up a dead end (merely the bad press from this controversy could harm its growth), he can still fulfill the bond contract.
EskimoBob: Diablo-D3: I hope not too many :) this is a risky one and chinese are involved so this can be just another scam
Diablo-D3: EskimoBob: DMC holds a lot of asicminer shares.
mircea_popescu: i'm not a lawyer but i'm sure it should be ok.
kakobreklaa: >>Alberto says that it was originally bcrypt but there were implementation issues so he temporarily switched to MD5. As mentioned I'm not a security expert so I can't assess how plausible this is. I'll wait for Alberto to make a clarification of this and other issues.

mircea_popescu: there is a limit but it's "reasonable".
Azelphur: I mean it's only been like a day since I messaged him
Azelphur: surely there's a time limit on it?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: so, I got this phone off ebay, "perfect condition" "new", when it got here it was obviously used, lots of damage, parts missing, etc. After a complaint the seller gave me a refund. I asked him to pay shipping to return the phone, but never heard from him since. How long until the phone is mine?
Chaaaang-Noi: whats a good excel like thing that is free for windows? anything better than google docs?
Diablo-D3: DeaDTerra: why? they could charge 50 btc for a blow job
DeaDTerra: GirlsgoneBitcoins are just girls that make money from sad bitcoineers. They don't give a shit about Bitcoins, I doubt they will care to go to London for a bitcoin conference.
area: I cashed out some coins with them yesterday, and it all went smoothly, but I will admit am consciously doing it a bit at a time, rather than all in one go.
DeaDTerra: I just want to have a good time and support Bitcoins, I really hope that the whole even doesn't become a Bitcoinica/Intersango whine feast, with tons of angry bitcoineers :(
mircea_popescu: area its a named party in a us lawsuit it can't afford to defend.
Chaaaang-Noi: its going to be a fun evet

rg: if a system was already compromised, rsa isnt going to do much
rg: i believe that's the research that depended on a compromised system
mircea_popescu: In June, 2012, a team of computer scientists claimed to have developed a method of quickly extracting the secret key generated by several RSA dongles including the SecurID 800. Calling themselves "Team Prosecco," the group published a research paper documenting their findings which they plan to present at a cryptography conference in August, 2012.

DeaDTerra: rallying prices, bearish GLBSE market and decrease in payouts from Pirate. With no way to hedge against the price increase, how the fuck am I going to be able to make a profit now...
usagi: It uses a two-part in-memory-only salt which means the system can't be brought up unless two people are logged in to type the salts at the same time
usagi: I am designing a system right now where the user passwords encrypt their data individually , so that even if someone breaks into the system they can't do anything to the user accounts.
