A new concern is created and a positive motivating emotion of interest is created and associated with the new concern. The intrinsic importance of the goal is 0.9.

asciilifeform: iirc 'libressl' was an attempted whitewashing of openssl turd by the usual suspects.
asciilifeform: i gotta ask, what means 'libressling'
asciilifeform: !~later tell whaack when testing 'horse', verify that the bin turd produced as file 'out' is identical to the input block. this means that the parser worx.
asciilifeform: if 'ironclad' is a worthy thing , it oughta be genesised
asciilifeform: and incidentally if phf knows this, possibly he studied it and is ready to genesis his personal copy ?
asciilifeform: phf possibly could correct me if this is not so
asciilifeform: whaack: if you have the time, why not write a sha256 from scratch in cl. it's a needed, unfortunately, piece. and afaik there isn't a proper one published.
asciilifeform: whaack: if yer in a hurry you can skip straight to transactions.adb .
asciilifeform: diana_coman and other ada n00bz may find the item interesting, it is a complete proggy ( in the bare bone sense )
asciilifeform: but it is in fact a complete block-eater, with the exception that it does nothing useful with scripts.
asciilifeform: whaack: posted simply so that you can see how tx hashes come to exist
asciilifeform: moar perplexing is wtf that forum is to begin with
asciilifeform: 'If you want to make real money in crypto, you don't get attached to one coin and you don't hodl, you also don't put all your money in bitcoin either, instead you do coin hopping' << didjaknow!!☟︎
asciilifeform: 'You can also try to solve one of the 7 millennium math problems for 1m each.' << hey there's a neglected get-rich-and-famous scheme!

asciilifeform: asking for 'good books on crypto' is not wholly unlike to ask 'good books in astrology'
asciilifeform: you're prolly better off reviewing the fundamentals of information theory ( shannon et al )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: aside from von neumann, and the crc encyclopaedia of well-known algos, i cannot in good conscience recommend much reading. there are works devoted to specific known attacks on rsa ( song y. yang, plus a few ru items ) ; at least 1 dead tree on differential cryptoanalysis ( how items like des get trivially demolished ) whose author presently escapes me; and that's just about it
asciilifeform: ( and , jaw-droppingly, just about every book 'on crypto' omits the otp proof. that very same, that constitutes the alpha and the omega of what's actually proven in the subject at all )

asciilifeform: diana_coman: there is ~nothing serious printed on the subject publicly since... von neumann
asciilifeform: with few enough clients, even hourly'd be workable
