to have access
to an rng at any further point
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall we even discussed
this, in re a bitcoin fs.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
that random accident at
the beginning passed,
the correct storage schema for bitcoin blockchain is fixed 1mb blocks.
mircea_popescu: in fact
the blk0001 covers as you folks observed,
the first ~3 years of bitcoin or some shit.
mircea_popescu: that satoshi didn't originally is because he adapted design
to perceived resources, and figured nobody would; run it if it
took 2gb every 8 days.
trinque: and
the point prior is all
too clear
trinque: got it; I'll read
that link
mircea_popescu: obviously
this should be fixed. but we're not
there yet, and
the fix would not consist of shaping gangrene anyway.

trinque: anyone give a shit about discussing cranking a magic number
to 11 without discussing how
the fuck it's using
that many locks?
mircea_popescu: like you know,
the notion
that he's pouring money in
the sand ne'er occurs
to friendly ddos guy.
mircea_popescu: somehow
the notion
that it'll get excised never occured
to
them.
mircea_popescu: but your intuition is correct. everything
the "core devs" have been doing since at
the latest 2012 is
this and nothing else.

trinque: if bitcoind were intended
to obscure
the functioning of
the bitcoin algorithm for as long as possible, it would've come out
the same way
ben_vulpes: phf: your .dat reader works very well,
thank you. consider submitting
to list?
decimation: ...

the
title "Mr" as a snub
to
the RCP."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_College_of_Surgeons_of_England " When
the College of Surgeons received its royal charter,
the Royal College of Physicians insisted
that candidates must have a medical degree first.[citation needed]
Therefore an aspiring surgeon had
to study medicine first and received
the
title Doctor.
Thereafter, having obtained
the diploma of Fellow of
the Royal College of Surgeons he would revert ...
decimation: in
the uk in particular,
there is a strong
tradition of 'surgeon is not doctor, but skilled craftsman'
mircea_popescu: some people actually wanna learn a
trade for chryssakes.
decimation: could do
the same with fake degree
too
decimation: to connect with my misunderstanding, why bother going
to medical school?
mircea_popescu: no, doctor
took notes, didn't like
the look of
them, changed what
they said.
mircea_popescu: because
the job where you ask questions you don't know
the answer
to is in science not in humanities.
☟︎ decimation: ah, and doctor didn't actually
take notes, or have any notion of what was going on with particular patient?
mircea_popescu: because no fucking laywer
to date has yet asked a question he didn't know
the answer
to
mircea_popescu: by
the point
that supoena issues, OBVIOUSLY
they already have copies.
mircea_popescu: decimation what happens is
that some guy dies and
the attening physician gets supoenad.
mircea_popescu: what, please explain
to me, what
the fuck must be going on inside
this supposedly educated person's mind.
mircea_popescu: to
this day - i have no idea how
to put
this in proper words -
to
this day
they have NUMEROUS CASES of fucktarded "doctors" who get supoenad for
their records and show up with doctored records.
assbot: Ron Maimon, Luboš Motl and other Internet
things I hear of
today for
the very first
time on
Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

mircea_popescu: litarian or authoritarian governments and around
the gatekeepers of
the mainstream media."
mircea_popescu: universal access
to
the Internet would provide a countervailing force against
the centralisation and concentration in government and
the mass media which act
to constrain freedom of expression and unrestricted access
to information. Further,
the Internet, properly used, could actually roll back government and corporate encroachment on individual freedom by allowing information
to flow past
the barriers erected by
tota
mircea_popescu: "Over
the last
two years I have become deeply and increasingly pessimistic about
the future of liberty and freedom of speech, particularly in regard
to
the Internet.
This is a complete reversal of
the almost unbounded optimism I felt during
the 1994–1999 period when public access
to
the Internet burgeoned and innovative new forms of communication appeared in rapid succession. In
that epoch I was firmly convinced
that
decimation: mircea_popescu: back in
the old days you had
to print stuff on paper
mircea_popescu: somehow
the average idiot got
this idea
that
time comes with an undo button. when and how did
this happen.

the 32-bit-mirror moduli are
the product of any kind of electronic accident, i will shit
toyotas.
punkman: "
the attacker is not able
to forge new valid signatures, but Seifert’s attack allows
the attacker
to pass — with a certain probability —
the signature verification step, for a message of her choice, by corrupting
the public modulus"
☟︎ punkman: "the most often observed fault during RSA-computations exposed
to glitch attacks is
the erroneous modification of
the moduli."
decimation: it would be nice
to have a little 'secure
terminal' which could store key material reliably
decimation: yeah, so you would need some logic
to probe each channel
decimation: well, I was
thinking of 4096 lines in parallel
decimation: asciilifeform:
thinking about antifuse, a 'jungle' version could be made: make a pcb with 4096 shorts, scrape
the desired bitpattern by hand. could be made into a 'pluggable module' and hand-verified
decimation: yeah, recipe needs 'fit code in head'
too
decimation: asciilifeform: but for
the average guy, it's pwn at factory or pwn by wildmen
punkman: "We found out
that
the website
truecryptrussia.ru has been serving modified versions of
the encryption software
that included a backdoor
to selected
targets."
trinque: wouldn't be lame
to do it as described
shinohai: Is
there still interest in a lame block explorer if i pursue
the project?

jurov: as shown above, even mp had
to succumb
to
that
jurov: decimation: also
there must be a way
to unlimited count of new addresses, which bip
