Naphex: you could still stick
to
the dns and use x509/pki in
the same way
fluffypony: dude you should seriously put
this up as a BIP for discussion
Naphex: so you can make sure
to query 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
Naphex: you could just use google pub dns servers, and place some
trust on
them,
they support dnssec
ozbot: Domain Name System Security Extensions - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
Naphex: too authenticate
the data
fluffypony: would be
to force
the bitcoin client
to get it from
the root ns' for
that domain
fluffypony: so
the only way
to do it as a standard
fluffypony: they have a financially viable reason
to spew out bad records
fluffypony: well here's something else
to consider
Naphex: i meant someone hopping on your dns server and just setting all addresses
to his:p
fluffypony: no wait nm, I just
twigged what you meant wrt dns spoofing
fluffypony: but aren't
TXT records always canonical?
Naphex: is just a quick
tought, idealy
there would be some other mechanisms
Naphex: add another record like
that for
the reverse
fluffypony: what's
the signature? is
the message just
the domain?

Naphex: $ host -t
txt naphex.addresses.btcxchange.ro
Naphex: so... why not support something like
this
BohemianHacks: I dont really worry
too much about browser side stuff
BohemianHacks: Just running linux and a non-standard version of firefox makes
things much safer
Naphex: or something bad is going
to happen at some point
fluffypony: you have
to explicitly
trust
the extension
fluffypony: "if I have
to
transfer my coins from CoinBase I do it 1 at a
time...it might
take a while, but at least you can catch it happening"
Naphex: be safe if you're about
to sign
transactions client-side
fluffypony: my favourite are
the "solutions" on Reddit
Naphex: so
they can
totally overpass anything with
targeted attacks
Naphex: well don't run bitcoin
transactions on browsers with untrusted or crap extensions
BohemianHacks: after you
turn 18 cyber crime risk out weighs
the reward, even if your morals dont stop you
fluffypony: and it just changes
the destination address
BohemianHacks: I
thought about going back
to
the dark side, but its still not worth it
fluffypony: I mean,
they have
this dodgy extension installed, and
then
they go and
transact on CoinBase
fluffypony: have you been seeing all
the people getting Bitcoin/Dogecoin stolen from
that malicious Chrome extension?
BohemianHacks: I still can't believe how many people use smartphone wallets
thoughf
BohemianHacks: its always nice
to store 37 cents in a 40 inch
thick steel safe
BohemianHacks: I will wait until i get home
to my xubuntu, fully encrypted hard drive
though
fluffypony: bip32 is good for your cold wallet, you'd
then be able
to regenerate
the private key from
the seed at any point in
the future, and import
the privkey into Electrum / Bitcoin-QT / whatever
fluffypony: depends on
the level of paranoia you're aiming for :)
BohemianHacks: gotcha, but couldn't
this site just keep my private key?
fluffypony: BohemianHacks:
this is for generating a Bitcoin address/private key from a passphrase
BohemianHacks: So what can I use
this key for? why not just generate one with gpg?
fluffypony: and
then bip32 paper wallet for
the cold wallet
fluffypony: BohemianHacks: a simple-ish solution is Electrum; deterministic key (so you only have
to scribble down 12 words and save
them), and it's bip32 encrypted
BohemianHacks: I would like a single key and a cold storage wallet and
then just not worry about it from
there. So long as I have a safe place
to store some
davout: imma start selling my
time
BohemianHacks: so I am working out
the best system for storting my coins and keys
BohemianHacks: I had coins all over
the place and stored in unsafe ways
BohemianHacks: Part my delay right now is
that I need
to be more secure
this
time
BohemianHacks: I have been working on a bunch of other projects and I am
thinking my payments will largely be in coin
fluffypony: except it wasn't
the dude
that started/owned Dragon's
Tale
fluffypony: BohemianHacks: so some dude listed Dragon's
Tale on CryptoStocks
fluffypony: BohemianHacks: you heard what happened with Dragon's
Tale right?
BohemianHacks: I
think
taxes and other issues may halt
them like many other bitcoin atm companies
fluffypony: what is concerning about cryptostocks is
that
there's no due diligence done, not even
the smallest little bit
BohemianHacks: Naphex:
that it does, which is a bit iffy as a
tech company but
they have some legit ideas
fluffypony: at
the end of
the day you have
to do your own due diligence and invest in whatever makes
the most sense
to you
fluffypony: but if you want
to plug some money into something and walk away and let it do its
thing, mpex is a significantly safer option
fluffypony: if you're shorting
the stock I suppose cryptostocks is an option
ozbot: The wunderbar S.MPIF pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
BohemianHacks: Just
to let my coins hang out and get some kind of return would be nice
BohemianHacks: I
think I'm mostly looking for options
that are low risk low yield as crypto already has risk built in
fluffypony: I
think
the biggest
thing is
that you have
to make a distinction between a fiat-profitable company looking
to raise fiat funds, but doing so in BTC for convenience
fluffypony: anyway getting back
to cryptocurrency companies
fluffypony: maybe nanotube can weigh on
this if
there's any recourse
BohemianHacks: Pretty much, I
tend
to switch distros and clean up my harddrive
tons
fluffypony: ah yeah, if you've lost your key
that's curtains for
that
fluffypony: there are some interesting crypto-based businesses out
there
BohemianHacks: besides I would rather have fpga's
to play with at my house
BohemianHacks: I like
the idea of investing in real businesses over mining hardware but
that seemed pretty hard
to find.
Naphex: while some bussines or office buildings are still stuck
to whatever worse
Naphex: most ISP's focus were apartment buildings so
thats what got cabled with fiber optics first
joecool: i always wondered about
the broadband rating for romania
though, is it counting business/residential connections or just average for ip's
there
joecool: not rly sure what happened
there
Naphex: gonna change it
to a 12$ usd 1gb/s connection
fluffypony: but lots of people are obviously still on slow connections, which drags
the average down
