fluffypony: we used
to go up
there when I was a kid
fluffypony: although given its political prominance
they're been shuttered off
to
the suburbs
decimation: where's
the skyscraper
that has filled with squatters and shit?
fluffypony: Pretoria is
the vanguard of old-school white Afrikaans-hood
fluffypony: decimation:
the Rhodesians are mostly in Johannesburg
fluffypony: will
take you about 4 weeks
to do
that route, and it's incredible
decimation: is
that where all
the aliens (I mean rhodesians) live?
fluffypony: Cape
Town -> Garden Route -> Durban and surrounds -> Sun City -> Kruger Park
mircea_popescu: safer
than south africa for ordinary women, i gather :D
mircea_popescu: however...
they're like
the vanguard of fucktarded socialistoid idiocy.
mircea_popescu: i mean all
the sympathy for
them people being surrounded by a bunch of arab derpage, which
they consistently own bareback.
decimation: well, going down
this road would be a good first step
assbot: Spy stuff pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: Israel wants
to outlaw cash << israel needs
to fucking burn already.
decimation: this will only make bitcoin look better of course, as each government reduces its fiat
to another altcoin (premined of course)
decimation: as
this blog points out,
the real reason
they are doing
this is
to bar another escape hatch from
the bezzle economy
assbot: A Cashless Society in
the World of Fiat |

mircea_popescu: <RebeccaBitcoin> like
the dryer << me goes
to craigslist with
that information
Vexual: what about a gps inside
that only sees
the sun if
the crack it with one of
those doorknocker
things
that jerusalem has
Vexual: like buy a known safe, and move
the intenals?
decimation: presumably
the jackbooted
thugs arrive before
that
time
Vexual: then you watch
that drillbit get real hot
RebeccaBitcoin: someone
types it in,
then a few mins later,
take
the
thermal image
decimation: a keypad seems like a
terrible design for sensitive data entry
decimation: it seems
to me
that
the few mechanical inputs
the better off you are
Vexual: im getting
troll pink from you rebeecca
RebeccaBitcoin: how can I change my name
to
the different colours
that you guys use
Vexual: fuck
that kick it harder
mircea_popescu: <decimation> absolute confidence is impossible until asciilifeform gets his room-sized fpga << but
then where would he sleep ?
kakobrekla: now you know its not practical
to be safe.
decimation: what would be
the point of an offline web wallet?
RebeccaBitcoin: Assuming I download
the source code, it seems legit, I put it on an offline computer.
decimation: and what your client
transmits in response
decimation: asciilifeform stated
this above, more or less
ben_vulpes: RebeccaBitcoin: <ben_vulpes> i wonder if its
trivially bruteforceable
RebeccaBitcoin: certain number of private keys,
thus making
the possibliity of hashing all of
the possibilities possible,
then draining any accounts.
RebeccaBitcoin: Before
this conversation got out of hand, i was mainly referring
to
the ability of
this site
to generate a random wallet. I've read before
that mouse entropy is crap. While
there are 2892383289 ^298289 possible private keys for Bitcoin, a wallet like
this might be much more limited. As such, a system like
this might only be capable of generating a
decimation: heh yeah well we need
to find a sufficiently rich prince
ben_vulpes: treat your satoshis well and your integer btc will
treat you well.
ben_vulpes: RebeccaBitcoin: mind you,
that amount can change rapidly based on
their fiat denomination, and your lazy self might decline
to move
them until it's
too late.
decimation: well, what is certainly
true is
that you have run
the privkey generator on your own machine, using reasonably open software, you have more (not absolute) confidence
that your keys are not compromised
RebeccaBitcoin: So in conclusion: I should not store any coins with rush wallet, unless
the amount is such
that I don't mind losing
them.
decimation: one can design black boxes with assumptions inside all day; what matters is
the ability
to master
the details implict in all
the assumptions being made
RebeccaBitcoin: set up a bot
to monitor
the balances of
the private keys
decimation: that's assuming
that you designed
the parts
too, he's gonna charge way more if you need design help
RebeccaBitcoin: my first step would be
to copy and paste
that
to craiglist
fluffypony: seriously -
there are people
that specialise in
this
that could probably do it faster
than anyone here, and even we can ascertain what
the
threat model is
FabianB: RebeccaBitcoin: main concern with sites like rushwallet are probably not
third-parties but
the site owners
themselfes, private key is in
the url, readable by javascript; even if
the private key is not read by current js,
they can change it any second, read it, send it
to
their server
mircea_popescu: there';s no mind involved. asciilifeform already
told you
the process.
RebeccaBitcoin: if you put your brilliant mind
to it, how long would it
take you
to crack rushwallet.com
Vexual: or
the attacker has some benefit from showing
the attack'
mircea_popescu: <RebeccaBitcoin> and it
takes you more
than 90 days
to crack it, I would call it "reaosnably safe" <<
takes about
two hours, if someone could be arsed.
decimation:
http://www.fedsafes.com/frequently_asked_questions.php "Class 6 safes are used for
the storage of documents, maps & drawings.
They provide protection against 30 minutes of covert entry & 20 hours of surreptitious entry. Class 5 safes are used for
the storage of documents, weapons, drugs, funds, sensitive materials & equipment. Class 5 safes have
the same covert & surreptitious entry protection as class 6 safes but
they also protect
decimation: I
think
they distinguish between overt and covert entry
RebeccaBitcoin: and it
takes you more
than 90 days
to crack it, I would call it "reaosnably safe"
fluffypony: RebeccaBitcoin: if you put 10 BTC in a wallet and posted about it on Reddit and some netsec mailing lists and gave it 90 days
that would be a concrete
test
kakobrekla: on
the other hand, locks safety is defined by how much
time it
takes
to break it.
