asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in principle, but it will work exactly until next time binhex shits out a file with '----' insiden !
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform : as a palleative : could we actually just fucking edit koch-rsa so that "----" rather than "-" becomes a symbol and deploy this on deedbot ?
phf: mircea_popescu: the whole thing is "magic char" driven though. in this particular case the failure is not just from clearsign, but from a combination of clearsign and vpatch own magic chars.
mircea_popescu: phf these are palleative solutions, you understand i'm sure. the fundamental problem here is that clearisgn is a "magic char" driven thing like nonsense "nullterm" string constructions
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, in 'p' i have a 'next N bytes are payload' marker.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-11 18:46 asciilifeform: btw for folx who are thick as a brick i will point out, that i SPECIFICALLY DO NOT WANT vdiff's '---' turned by idiot koch liquishit into '- ---'
asciilifeform: adlai: do me personal favour , and drink a long cup of tea, i am trying to deal with actual problem here, it needs solution, from able hands
adlai: re: "go do things", another thing i've been doing is studying towards http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-19#1556804. my understanding thus far is that it is firmly within "not possible to put into Bitcoin" territory, but still potentially interesting; and i am not yet confident enough in my understanding to try explaining to others; but i should be in a ~month. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: just drop the whole imagination thing, it ain't useful. it just provides a way for you to waste your energy. go do things, if you ask then "hey, i am now opening shop for adlai's electronic dildos, but i don't intend to do X like nsa did, but this other way, anyone see a problem?" you'll get an answer and proceed from there.
asciilifeform: phf: it is a sinful thing to do
asciilifeform: phf: i could easily write proggy that eats a binturd and produces a vdiff-harmless shell script that, when executed, disgorges same. but the IDEA, yes, bothers me
asciilifeform: eh, let's not beat the d00d to a pulp, he just ordered a unit
asciilifeform: it was lulzy, i pointed it out publicly, and he for a while carried on the pretense of 'uh, not me...'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-11#1581200 << "moxie" is not much of a name. /me would have never even seriously considered "moldbug" had intel not identified pw:rn to go with it. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-12-11 18:08 thestringpuller: look i thought jgarzik's tweet about gpg dying was just an outlier of PRB nonsense but it's a plague now I've witnessed for myself, that is all
asciilifeform: what will your vdiff do when it sees a '+++ foo' ?
asciilifeform: phf: if you want to suggest a solution that doesn't reduce to my a) or b) or any c) that delays shipment for month+, i'm all ears.
adlai: my proper fix to this would be writing vdiff in zero-dependency ANSI CL, and replacing the "long career of idiot special case patches" with a short career of specific kelvin-reducing patches
asciilifeform: adlai: this is a) correct and b) unsolvable in the general case afaik.
adlai: as i see it the problem is that a valid gnudiff output is a false positive for the awk script, this actually has nothing to do with b64 that just happens to have produced the first example of this output
phf: what about providing schematics in a textual format of some sort? it being a graph some form of graphviz dot or whatever
asciilifeform: phf: fact is, the schematics are a) human readable b) essential to the device c) not ascii
adlai: this 'hope' gets tested immediately. i'm only suggesting a quick fix here, still thinking about the proper one.
adlai: obviously this is not a replacement for a proper fix to vdiff itself
asciilifeform: a) deedbot hashes of binary garbage -- this is not vtronic!
adlai: of course, although the current vdiff is a mishmash of three abstractions, two of which have their own DSLs (bash & awk), so some amount of abstraction leak is inevitable
asciilifeform: it is more or less literally a godelization of vdiff.
asciilifeform: gnudiff turns that into a '+++....'
asciilifeform: adlai: it's actually a line of binhexolade that begins with '++'
adlai: i don't think "+++ " can be a valid (subseq line 0 4)
asciilifeform: and apparently '+++' is a valid sequence inside these.
asciilifeform: scratch, it is a bug in VDIFF
asciilifeform: btw for folx who are thick as a brick i will point out, that i SPECIFICALLY DO NOT WANT vdiff's '---' turned by idiot koch liquishit into '- ---' ☟︎
asciilifeform: phf, trinque, et al : is it yet possible to throw a vpatch into deedbot ?
asciilifeform: it is a very bad habit and has killed quite a few folx
Framedragger: (but that's different from a developer endorsing js crypto, of course)
Framedragger: which is, you know, how you end up in a pool, surrounded by sharks and tigers :p / :(
thestringpuller: look i thought jgarzik's tweet about gpg dying was just an outlier of PRB nonsense but it's a plague now I've witnessed for myself, that is all ☟︎
davout: shinohai: you're such a racist and elitist pig. cryptography should be easy and downloadable from the appstore
thestringpuller: or atleast I have yet to encounter a keybase user in the wild who has done so...
adlai: this sounds like a criticism of JS-generated keys, rather than a criticism of "private key never existed on an internet-connected computer, and no backup is saved other than a piece of paper"
thestringpuller: Luke-jr was trying to warn people similarly to you as to "paper wallet" crap-olade. And "the self proclaimed experts" stated, " He doesn't believe that any security sensitive activity should happen in a web browser, disregarding the fact that today's JavaScript actually has excellent cryptographic bonafides -- like a random number generator that's generally stronger than whatever the host operating system can offer."
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Error: "exec(c.eval("高原复制山羊"==="高原复制山羊"))" is not a valid command.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Error: "javascript.eval("高原复制山羊"==="高原复制山羊")" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: ahaha gimme a break

BingoBoingo: "One of the students wrote: “Every day I pass a different student wearing a ‘Black Lives Matter’ shirt and that goes unacknowledged, but the moment I attempt to voice my opinion it is abruptly shut down by the left sided environment that our school has overwhelmingly supported this school year.” Another student wrote: “I got called a racist, misogynistic pig.”"
mircea_popescu: which utterly threw their game off, they got all stiff and nervous and kept missing passes and shots and the whole kaboodle, ended up trashed 70-55 by a clearly worse team.
mircea_popescu: in similar news, walking yest thgrough town a buncha girlies hit on me, where i'm from, where's the chicks from, etc. they were athletes, like 16yos, playing in the natl basketball competition, semifinals today. so i told them ima show up. which i did.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-10#1580966 << a dawg nice! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-12-10 19:42 mod6: There was a minor feature request to importprivkey, which was submitted late last month to the ML. This feature will allow a user to import a private key, but choose which block ight he starts scanning upon import.
mircea_popescu: as a for instance.
mircea_popescu: dude, you're such a nut. they make 1mn addresses, combine them into sets of 10, try each combination as payout address for the block.
mircea_popescu: smart in they're currently squeezing a 0.15% more from blocks than everyoneelse.
asciilifeform: if it turns out to be +ev it is a 1way ticket to a useless shitcoin
asciilifeform: hey for all we know, they have a 2-dimensional miner that varies nonce AND BLOCK
ben_vulpes: didja see the block yesterday with a single tx in it mircea_popescu ?
mod6: The function 'importprivkey' uses an existing wallet.cpp function called CWallet::ScanForWalletTransactions, where you pass this a pointer to the CBlockIndex you want to ~start~ from, then this just iterates forward. by pindex - pindex->pnext;
mod6: asciilifeform: also, there is a techincal reason for going front -> back, as opposed to back -> front.
mod6: Alas, a window into what has been happening for the last 9 days. :]
mod6: There are maybe a few others that will help as well; maybe a rawtx signing function, and maybe something that decodes rawtxs, maybe also some script decoding?
mod6: Not the end all be all, but a starting point. ☟︎
mod6: So I've created a patch that so far puts in the ability to view 'listunspent' UXTOs in the wallet.
mod6: While doing such work, I decided it'd also be nice (if not for trb integration, for myself) to have some tools to help me construct a rawtx.
mod6: And I've created a reground patch for that.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> but you can blow yourself up like this by mis-specifying start-from-and-go-forward blocknumn also. << i've tested this a bunch, with a rescan too, and seems ok. what do you think will be the issue here?
mod6: This might resolve itself by doing a full -rescan, separately.
mod6: This edge case being: If pub/priv keypair A, have been sent 1.0 bitcoins on say, tx 123456789, on block 200`000. Then sent 0.5 bitcoins from pub/priv keypair A to pubkey address B on block 250`000. If the uesr only scans back from 300`000, the balance in the wallet may not reflect the 0.5 output still there for that pubkey (from keypair A). ☟︎
mod6: Depending on how fast your machine might be, this might take a while.
mod6: We've seen that when you import a private key with the original I sent to the ML, it works great, but it does take the time to scan through the index from genesis to HEAD for transactions.
mod6: This feature will allow a user to import a private key, but choose which block height he starts scanning (for related transactions to the address) upon import.
mod6: There was a minor feature request to importprivkey, which was submitted late last month to the ML. This feature will allow a user to import a private key, but choose which block ight he starts scanning upon import. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai but then with the same hand he explains how "it makes a very useful" something or the other. in the same hour it humiliated him in the republic, he's there defending it.
asciilifeform: mod6: certain very broken browsers wrap columns in such a way that these parachutes appear to be 1 column.
asciilifeform: e's Illinois electoral victories, raised questions about this bizarre "quarantine" policy. Inquiries by the NJCRC, he wrote, had uncovered that "the media in Illinois did know that [Democratic primary candidates] Fairchild and Hart were LaRouchites, and chose not to headline this information, based on a judgment that to do so would give LaRouche a platform in statewide politics he did not deserve."'
asciilifeform: 'But behind the media's "soft" view of LaRouche there was often the rankest hypocrisy. While newspapers portrayed him as a kook they made editorial judgments based on the assumption that he was indeed potentially dangerous—so dangerous that his activities must be concealed from the public lest the truth help his movement grow. Jerome Chasen of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, in a 1986 memorandum on LaRouch
asciilifeform: 'Just as LaRouche took issue with Hitler's version of total mobilization, so he criticized the Nazi leader's military strategy of waging a two-front war against both the West and the Soviet Union. Hitler should have mopped up the Rothschilds' headquarters, Britain, before marching east. The London blitz was not carried out boldly enough.' << genius.
asciilifeform: http://lyndonlarouche.org/newamericanfascism.htm << in very other non-noose. 'This is not a democratic situation; this is a time where democracy is the worst factor you can get. You've got a democracy in the streets now, they want to kill these guys. That's the democracy I want to hear from. I don't want to hear from these so-called Democrats; I want to hear from the killers!'

mircea_popescu: and for that matter, the "general population" desire to play the "modern democracy" game is so great - they will happily pretend! ipads are a thing, notwithstanding they're a regression in any conceivable sense, because "dude feels like data in star trek" which is to say, in plain terms, "because we understand our socialist state needs socialist science to be a thing, and we patriotically do our part in pretending it is a thi

mircea_popescu: i suppose we start calling nigger assets masquerading as "scientists" trickers from now on, on the basis of you know, "a trick" being "slang" for "a clever and legitimate technique". you know, "in science".
mircea_popescu: breaking global temperatures, the email was widely misquoted as a "trick" to "hide the decline" as though it referred to a decline in measured global temperatures, an accusation made publicly by the politicians Sarah Palin and Jim Inhofe" << the wikipedia unhappening of the original global warming fraud is nothing short of astounding.
mircea_popescu: r Keith's to hide the decline."[205] In science, the term "trick" is slang for a clever (and legitimate) technique, in this case Michael E. Mann's technique for comparing two different data sets,[206] and "the decline" referred to the already published divergence problem with tree ring density proxies affecting the post 1960 part of Keith Briffa's reconstruction graph. Despite this and the fact that 1999 had just seen record
mircea_popescu: "The most quoted phrase took words from an e-mail of 16 November 1999 written by Phil Jones which referred to a graph he was preparing as a diagram for the cover of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) statement on the status of global climate in 1999.[203][204] Jones wrote: "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 fo
