Mocky: This much is obvious to anyone who has worked with code and has half a brain. The lack of this is a good way to spot those with less than half a brain. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828036
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 15:33 asciilifeform: Mocky: to function as a troo vtronicist, gotta grasp the concept, described by e.g. dijkstra, that a line of code you have written is not an asset, but an expense. (specifically, an expense against the time budget of other thinking people, who must read and grasp what you have written. )
Mocky: I've never had an any involvement with foss project, haven't seen this dynamic. but I don't doubt it. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828318

KimuSan^: Hi all
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: who might you be ?
KimuSan^: Name's Kim, and I am just another fellow geek, advocate of free speech and liberation of the internet.
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: and what brings you to #trilema ?
KimuSan^: Well I came across a mention of this place when looking for how well anonymous hosting worked these days... As in paid with (mostly) untraceable crypto and hosted without any mention of ownership etc.
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: you may have been misinformed, nobody here is particularly enthusiastic about anonymity
asciilifeform: if anything, quite the opposite
KimuSan^: Then came across a great article on looper-os and decided to see if there were more interesting stuff in here.
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: do you have a www pg? anywhere where it can be read, what exactly do you advocate ?
KimuSan^: Well you can find me on many sites and all fully public. Disconnected.tech, Schulz.kim Schulz.dk and the trails from there.
asciilifeform: ( 'i am an advocate of x and y' implies having written something? or do you advocate it at the local pub )
asciilifeform: i dun see any writing in these links, only a half meg of javascript (ugh) and what loox like empty blog template

asciilifeform: KimuSan^: consider reading the log
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: after which you can perhaps try to explain, why did you park your privkey with nsa-operated honeypot
KimuSan^: I place A privkey there.
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: and why would you do this, or encourage 'privacy'/'anonymity' aficionados to do it ?
KimuSan^: Interestingly I have yet to find proof of you NSA honeypot claim, but I hope to find that in your log as it seems like you have such Proof.
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: lol! bear trap that asks you to share privkey with 3rd party, is not proofy enuff?
KimuSan^: Actually my privkey is in my hardware key on my body. What I have I keybase is what I need in order to communicate with others. I see keybase as a good gateway drug to actually get people to start encrypting and signing coo. S
KimuSan^: .. Comms
asciilifeform: why would you host even pubkey on keybase.
asciilifeform: gateway drug to idiocy.
diana_coman: KimuSan^, why do you think that those biting such "gateway drug" (let alone needing that much baiting and so on) *should* "start encrypting" or have anything to do with signing anything?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: normally it takes longer, but asciilifeform's dosimeter already maxed out. this one's all yours.
asciilifeform: 'looper-os' for fuckxssake.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, ahahah, loopety loop
KimuSan^: Well don't know about you, but I prefer my communication to be private if needed. Telling that to my old father is close to impossible. Getting him on keybase actually thaught him a lot about why and how. These days we encrypt all communication - even if it is just via a key he uploaded to keybase.
KimuSan^: asciilifeform: why wouldn't I. I have my pub key in many places.
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: how , precisely , does keybase differ from the key escrow db clinton tried to make mandatory ?
diana_coman: KimuSan^, you are effectively saying "I want my father to get X but he can't or won't so I feed him something that *looks* like X and that's great because reasons"
diana_coman: and at any rate you haven't actually answered the question: why ?
KimuSan^: diana_coman: it's called baby steps.
KimuSan^: Why what?
diana_coman: KimuSan^, mno, it's called many things and none of them any good
diana_coman: why should they start encrypting if they don't understand much about it
KimuSan^: Because we are getting to a point ve
KimuSan^: Where it will be needed
KimuSan^: Well have to run off now. I can try to explain more at a later point if you let me.
diana_coman: baby steps is when baby tries to walk for real - with all the bumps and crying that happens; it's not when baby "walks" by having parent holding it in the air and moving its legs as if it was walking, all the time saying for good measure "you are walking baby, yeee"
asciilifeform: lol 'baby steps' where keybase dossiers the plaintexts
asciilifeform: KimuSan^: i recommend to read log for 6 months, then come back , supposing you've learned anything.

asciilifeform: different matter is how many block's worth of confirm you want to wait to cover the horror with, before carrying on
ben_vulpes: right
mircea_popescu: to review this : 3address bitcoin can be spent to proper 1address bitcoin by ~anyone~, at ~any time~. in practice these anyone and any time variables will be set by the miner cartel that finally pulls the plug on the 3address shitshow.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile 1address bitcoin that was in a 3address at any point can be spent by the above anyone, but not at any time. at only such a time as he's willing and capable to replace the chain with an alt chain.
mircea_popescu: leaving the will aside, this is only feasible for short time intervals.
asciilifeform: once it's been sent to a 1actualbitcoinaddr, the usual dynamics (e.g. traditional '6 conf') apply

lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: 6.66225992
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes odds are you're either not setting the fee correctly, or else the inputs are so numerous it won't send with the fee you set.
ben_vulpes: "paytxfee" : 0.00021850,
ben_vulpes: and afaik only spending a single output
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking, fee in satoshi / 4 / (count of inputs + count of outputs ) should come over w/e value 100 or w/e it is.
ben_vulpes: next thing i'm going to try is manually walk the spend-to-self down by 100 satoshis until this trb shits a tx out and then look at what it produces
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 3467 is the value i get with that algo
mircea_popescu: is this trb ?
ben_vulpes: this is trb
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes current fees per byte are more in the 50k satoshi range you're aware. it kinda jumped, https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees.html#3m
ben_vulpes: i wasn't aware that it was 50ksat/byte, no, but nevertheless trb shouldn't even be aware of that. orthogonal issue, isn't it?
mircea_popescu: that algo's per kb not per byte.
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, it's orthogonal, yes.
mod6: trb should just shit out a tx
mircea_popescu: mod6 unless he set up a minimum fee somewhere, though i don't recall how exactly that all works.
mod6: whether it gets picked up quickly or not, depends on the fee.
ben_vulpes: bitcoinfees.earn.com suggests cutoff around ~50 sat/byte, but still, orthogonal
mod6: are you trying to empty the wallet and are somehow off by a few satoshi?
mircea_popescu: if you try to send it with a lower fee than the level you set it to use it'll throw an error ; the rule for trb is to throw useless incomprehensible if not outright misguiding errors.
ben_vulpes: mod6: see that's why i asked for a spot check on the maths
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's either a) dust inputs you don't know about or b) min fee config conflict.
ben_vulpes: pretty confident that there's no dust at play, so i'll look for this min fee config

asciilifeform: ( erry cr50 fw upgrade bin has no fewer than 2 such sigs )
asciilifeform: for all i know, actual mod in the livefire fw is entirely diff, and this one is a cheap lultrap
mircea_popescu: i would actually say go for it.
mircea_popescu: the cheap lultrap dun seem directed at you.
asciilifeform: yea only 1 way to settle this.
asciilifeform: well actually there's an obvious 2nd.
mircea_popescu: how they managed to waste all the rooks with most of the pawns still in the way is an exercise left to the specialists.
mircea_popescu: culture of superficial witnits, why not set down the famous fischer-panno or something of kasparov's or w/e.
mircea_popescu: there you go.
asciilifeform: 'Mozilla Security Team'
mircea_popescu: im not curling some pdf, fuck 'em, let them learn how to use the web if they want to spread their drivel.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the bit i have yet to unravel is why it thinks there's change to generate
mircea_popescu: it just defaults to thinking that, because satoshi.
asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Ge2OC/?raw=true << the txt crapola, for entomologists strictly
asciilifeform: ( spoiler : same snoar as all other pseudophuctors, no actual keyz posted )
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> meanwhile in "i have nfi how this game is played", https://78.media.tumblr.com/86a15e945803ef886f2686209efa7dc5/tumblr_od2ygdgPdj1r1ds4io1_1280.jpg << Maybe massive trade to kill the queens in the G column
mircea_popescu: yeah, or maybe the aliens.
mircea_popescu: swamp girl did it.
BingoBoingo: That is a distinct possibilitit
BingoBoingo: In other news the venezolana is back to Venezuala for 3.5 weeks starting tomorrow to take care of her now late father's affairs
BingoBoingo: Looking like I might end up trying Cervantes sooner
BingoBoingo: Or Portugues
ben_vulpes: i'm out of time on this particular trbism, bbl
BingoBoingo: With the apartment key scheduled to monday and the friend girl gone, this could be a very stressful period of time for the Peruana
ben_vulpes: how's that?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 2nd key ( http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/620344B54A5B77C0D59A9A430097097B0A13758B9902F0593BBF0C7929F4F857 ) stood. i therefore suspect that i did not make any mistake in conversion.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it remains to be determined exactly how to go about signing with a key that doesn't have a mult inv. i suspect that in this puzzler also lies the answer to how the infamous 'mirrored' mods were fired in the field.
asciilifeform: ( and whether this actually requires finding ~all~ of the prime factors , or not )
mircea_popescu: as an obvious possibly : there's some error that creates a functional inverse out of an unrelated numbar.
mircea_popescu: this would then equally afflict phuctored and unphuctored key
mircea_popescu: "hey guys, did you know your key has mathematically unsound but computably useful pseudoinverse ?"
asciilifeform: it'd afflict 'soup instead of primes' keys as a class
mircea_popescu: conceivably, all keys.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes cuz he plans of fucking her in all holes at once 24/7.
mircea_popescu: he's got tentaclepeni.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo btw, did you have the common decency of introducing them ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo btw, did you have the common decency of introducing them ? << Was scheduled for next week
mircea_popescu: maybe she ran away then!
BingoBoingo: The venezolana has a special friend she ran away to Uruguay with. She lives with the friend's family and the two girls share a bed.
mircea_popescu: that sounds sweet.
BingoBoingo: And the Peruana absolutely adores me and does bed and bathroom well, but... she can be very boring
BingoBoingo: From what I understand the Venezolana's special friend is staying here for the duration.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in other twists, not only is neither key in the cr50 fw image i have, but the verification routine does not correspond to the 'open' sores.
asciilifeform: ( mega-surprise )
BingoBoingo: Blog the details. It's friday night. Two and a half days to SEO it
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: details will take a while to pry out.
BingoBoingo: This feeds, what is commonly called a series. Sometimes they go exciting places... Sometimes they don't
BingoBoingo has doubts the venezolana is running away for keeps, because she keeps asking how alf is doing
asciilifeform: lolwaat
BingoBoingo: Girl thinks alf is a cool dood and does interestin work
mod6: :]
mod6: k
mircea_popescu: haha. they all think this before they meet him :D
asciilifeform: so, meanwhile : finds : key id's seen in http://www.loper-os.org/pub/c101pa/c101pa_unlock_nodice.txt , lead to pay dirt,
asciilifeform: 1) the pubs thrown earlier in phuctor ( seen in e.g. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/cr50_v3.4/chip/g/loader/verify.c#17 ) dun appear anywhere in fw 3.4
asciilifeform: 2) the RW key, corresponding to 'RW keyid: 0xde88588d(prod)' , appears , and is identical to what lives in https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/cr50_v3.4/util/signer/cr50_RW-prod.pem.pub
asciilifeform: this in turn , is found in 4 places in the rom , http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/dqhNR/?raw=true ( labels mine , offsets preserved )
asciilifeform: ( there's a rw and ro piece in each of the 2 redundant sections of the rom , and each contains a copy of rw key -- why? ask'em, not me )
asciilifeform: however, after this, gets moar interesting:
asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/corod/?raw=true << the RO pubkey. (labels mine, offsets original). does not appear to be posted publicly anywhere.
asciilifeform: stored in presumably same bass-ackwards form as the RW.
asciilifeform: the last bit of wtf, is that there dun appear to be anyffing corresponding to the published loader
asciilifeform: it remains possible that the loader crapola lives in some part of the rom that doesn't get updated and thereby not part of my bin image.
asciilifeform: 'Note: early versions of the SoC would let us build and manually sign our own bootloaders, and the RW images could be self-signed. Production SoCs require officially-signed binary blobs to use for the RO bootloader(s), and the RW images that we build must be manually signed. So even though we generate RO firmware images, they may not be useful.'
asciilifeform: for today this'll be all.
asciilifeform: oh , for compleeetness, http://loper-os.org/pub/c101pa/cr50.bin.prod << the 0.3.4 cr50 fw currently installed in my box. ( the offsets above, are valid for it)
phf: the later is a guess though right, that it's currently installed?
asciilifeform: phf: nein, i flashed it in earlier, recall
asciilifeform: overwrote factory 0.3.3
phf: oh oh of course, you can still flash official ones in
asciilifeform: so as to get a known turd
phf slow
phf: what's the executable substrate? i mean it's an fpga carrying its own architecture, what's it compiled with?
asciilifeform: ( spoiler : CFLAGS_CPU+=-march=armv7-m -mcpu=cortex-m3 )
asciilifeform: it's an arm7 m3 with a few custom i/o regs and some iron for crypto accel ( strictly hashing & symmetric , all else in soft )
phf: ty
