pankkake: in
the journalists' minds "racially diverse" and "urbanized" is just a way
to make
them Good Guys. it doesn't matter if it's accurate
mircea_popescu: what annoys me most is
that
the prostitute i quoted is a) a pulizer prize winner and b) not actually getting paid for his sexual services.

to make
them Good Guys. it doesn't matter if it's accurate

to offer
the
trading of other digital currencies."

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
KRS-: Good morning from
the 'states
mircea_popescu: dear all... i
think you'd better review your legal budged. it jpm can't quite afford it...
jurov: they seem
to use bignums (via own library)
mircea_popescu: if its a fgloat i guess we're safe, good up
to 10^38 if memory serves
mircea_popescu: i dunno if its implemented as
two ints or a float or what
BingoBoingo: After
taking a walk and reflecting I have updated my posts on
the Bitcoin Address signed message deal. Whole venture seems less
than useless
the more I read about
the problems.
BingoBoingo: So. I
thought about pricing GANGBANGRipeMD.py but I'm going
to hold off.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: I use
the retard 'Murican version of a keyboard.
dexX7: my keyboard produces a different ´
than
the one you used
dexX7: no, i mean.. from where is
the
text you signed?
BingoBoingo: dexX7: I just signed it in Multibit. Some rando on CoinChat pointed out Brainwallet attributes
the signature
to another address.
dexX7: how did you write
the message anywaay?
BingoBoingo: Also, GANGBANGRipeMD.py found a sixth address
that could have created
that signature for
the message.
[\]: I gotta
try something out
[\]: now someone send some dust
to
that address ^
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm authed on gribble /msg me and I will offer some
things on a more disposable venue
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've also started and aborted a
tor study.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 nope, i don't have software
that does
the signature stuff.
mircea_popescu: i don't even dare imagine what'd have happened should anyone have
taken garzik's alternative exchange seriously and puit money/effort into
that
BingoBoingo: dexX7: For better or worse
the GPG armored format lets idiots import keys and signatures. I contrast
the bitcoin address format has not container and simply solicits information. Apparently
that information can often be wrong.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: I don't know if
that is sarcasm, but yes.
That is actually incredibly useful
to have.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: Still,
there is no reason why Bitcoin address signed messages can't have a container like GPG signatures do. It would be so much easier
to demonstrate
this is broken or solid if only
there were a standard container for signed messages.
dexX7: i
tested it by shortening
the message and replacing
the chars with others
BingoBoingo: Fuck
this is why Bitcoin needs a mother fucking Spec.
mircea_popescu: if using particular characters such as ´,
the signing goes bonkers creating signatures
that go with random addresses instead of
the correct address ?
dexX7: 1. ’ is
the source 2. ’ != ´ 3. strlen("’") = 3 x_X 4. it creates a not matching signature every
time, if you use ’ + more
than 250 other chars
mircea_popescu: you could do
this as a succession of screenshots. here i sign X with address Y
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course not, unless someone was paying out more for it
than
the outstanding BitBet Bets paying
to
the derived address.
BingoBoingo: Jere_Jones: Well I'm not offering
the private key until at least
the last BitBet associated with
that address resolves. Maybe some elliptic surves intersected at
the point of
that message. Maybe it is something worse. It is honestly more
their problem
than mine
though I will be happy
to offer
them information short of
the private key.
The replication steps are surprisingly short and I imagine unhelpful.
BingoBoingo: Jere_Jones: If
they don't know
to scroll up or check logs why are
they on
the internet and not Facebook.
BingoBoingo: Jere_Jones: Honestly it doesn't seem like a matter where I need
their expertise so much as
they need my accident. I mean if
they know how
this IRC
thing works
they will know
to scroll up.
Jere_Jones: BingoBoingo: It appears
that
the people with
the expertise you need aren't paying attention in #bitcoin-dev. I'd
try back in 12 hours.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One for each girl. One for each dude providing muscle.
The possibilities are endless. General Patraeus would have had a career if only he could have given his side bitch a Cardano.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm a bit curious because
the Cardono seems like something a person would purchase a few of.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu asciilifeform: Is
there a rough estimate on how
the Cardano will be priced?
mircea_popescu: Jere_Jones not
that much
trading for all
that
traffic.
Jere_Jones: I wonder if Havelock is being DDOS'd or if
they just can't handle
the load of being
the stock exchange
that receives
the most
traffic.
mircea_popescu: i just got pointed out
to me
that 1LC9GzYK1zjrG9zAv >>MPEx<< cwHTP8aPYPMyY
mircea_popescu: because
there's enough lols in
there
to keep us going
through a day or
two even
mircea_popescu: no, but if address signing works so you sign with one address and it verifyes with another i'd like
to know
mircea_popescu: apparently sober is bad luck for you. anyway,
this warrants some
testing.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Rather sure. I don't have a key for
that other address in any of my wallets.
The pages on
the blog were some of
the few
things I remember making sober.
[\]: Are you sure you even signed it and didn't copy
the sig from someone else?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo are you sure you didn't sign with
that other address
tghrough some process involving for instance vodka ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Probably
they have a bug, in
the least bad imagining of
things.
mircea_popescu: anyone willing
to make 1k keys, sign 1k messages and see if
the signed messages actually resolve
to
the proper keys ?
Jere_Jones: Yep. bitcoin-qt verified it with
that address.
