RagnarDanneskjol: indeed
mircea_popescu: xinxi what options are you trying to write ?
xinxi: i am building an options exchange actually.
xinxi: but as vanilla opitons are too risky. I am right now focusing on binary options.
mircea_popescu: there's about a dozen scammy sites trying to get that working in bitcoin
xinxi: yeah, i know.
mircea_popescu: there's about five hundred dozen scammy sites trying to get that working in fiat, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason binary options aren't used in finance.
xinxi: yeah, right. I know the situation.
mircea_popescu: so then ?
xinxi: the binary options provided by them are OTC traded.

assbot: The Real Altcoin (ATC) – Never Mine Another Altcoin Again
BingoBoingo: PinkPosixPXE: Know any way to seed an entropy pool in NEtBSD on MacSE/30?
nanotube: mircea_popescu: it used to sort by rating value... i figured sorting by rating total is a more informative first display... though ideally it would sort by 'total trust from nanotube' or something like that, but that would require writing some code to run those calculations in batch mode and caching them, cuz running every rater live would be expensive...
mircea_popescu: nanotube how a bout just sort on freshness ?
mircea_popescu: save everyone a click.
asciilifeform: interestingly, my favourite hosting co. is virtually ddos-proof and costs almost nothing.
asciilifeform: down side - only eats usd, and doesn't give actual machine (not even vm.) so no persistent processes.
asciilifeform: (re: ddos tale)
assbot: PinkPosixPXE +v failed; L1: 0, L2: 0
asciilifeform: !up PinkPosixPXE
PinkPosixPXE: ty
PinkPosixPXE: BingoBoingo: I'd need more details, but essentially you can use rng-tools/rng to increase the entropy on a server. How it would be implemented for your exact use, would require more discussion.
asciilifeform: i think he's asking for hardware.
BingoBoingo: PinkPosixPXE: Yeah, talking about specific hardware I cooked before trying to gen GPG keys using the NetBSD PGP implementation
BingoBoingo: because apparently real Macs don't generate entropy
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: from whence did you imagine it would come?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cloud chamber...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: incidentally, commodore-64 (and 128) had hardware noise. (in the 6581 sound chip.)
PinkPosixPXE: did it time out on generating a gpg key due to lack of entropy?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that one: http://www.loper-os.org/vintage/parallelsid/parasid.html
assbot: Parallel Port SID6581 Interface
BingoBoingo: There were motherboard component that looked like they could fill the role
BingoBoingo: PinkPosixPXE: Not time out... cooked self
PinkPosixPXE: overheated?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Could have been helpful
BingoBoingo: PinkPosixPXE: Overheated to the extent that magic smoke
PinkPosixPXE: wow
asciilifeform: magic smoke out of what ?
PinkPosixPXE: just trying to generate entropy
asciilifeform: if not sure from what, probably had electrolytic cap burst
asciilifeform: routine on vintage gear.
asciilifeform: find which, replace.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Out of class mac case SE/30 lives in
asciilifeform: pop it, and post photo if it's been so long that your nose will not lead you to the culprit.
PinkPosixPXE: I mean, there's plenty of hardware abounds, it depends what you want, want to use it for, and your budget/access to hardware
PinkPosixPXE: then there's tools that help increase entropy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> pop it, and post photo if it's been so long that your nose will not lead you to the culprit. << Maor concerned with shaming WP matt
asciilifeform unable to parse this sentence
PinkPosixPXE: ok, I'm not the only one struggling in that department ;P ... No offense intended of course
asciilifeform: PinkPosixPXE: tools that help increase entropy << what've we come to. as if the heat death of universe weren't arriving quickly enough...
PinkPosixPXE: hehe, well now the theory has changed to the "cold death" of the universe, as it's expanding at an ever increasing rate, and galaxies/etc. are moving further away
PinkPosixPXE: from each other
PinkPosixPXE: but I digress..

assbot: Helping The Random Number Generator To Gain Enough Entropy With rng-tools (Debian Lenny) | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials
BingoBoingo: At the moment universe is headed to a hate death, because Wordpress's Matt Mullenwang dunno priorities
asciilifeform: PinkPosixPXE: this tool does precisely nothing without a hardware rng.
mircea_popescu: mkay, so with the 3rd attack the list of goat's botnet ips went from 1k to 3k items
PinkPosixPXE: ignore the debian portion, rng-tools is something most OS's should have available
PinkPosixPXE: So we have to increase entropy somehow. This can be done with rng-tools, a package to use a hardware true number generator (TRNG). Don't worry, you don't need any extra hardware, we will use /dev/urandom as our true number generator.
mircea_popescu: looking forward to full discovery.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, qntra is back in working order.
PinkPosixPXE: Fixed my issue earlier today, entropy isn't solely hardware dependant,
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i cannot log in, again, 403
asciilifeform: PinkPosixPXE: in the sense of 'it works better if you plug it in' ?
BingoBoingo: !up devthedev
mircea_popescu: cazalla meh, apparently he's got moar.
cazalla: in fact, entire site is 403 for me now except static page
PinkPosixPXE: it uses /dev/urandom, it's not hardware driven, it just pulls entropy through rng-tools software, rather than 'mouse input' or 'disk activity' etc.

asciilifeform: not hardware driven << a schoolboy can write his own 'mersenne twister', get the same inferior result, for no effort really.
mircea_popescu: why is mt inferior ?!
BingoBoingo: Twistor is harder though
PinkPosixPXE: There's that new usb device called 'entropy' which is a usb coin wallet, that you can just plug in https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/mycelium-successfully-funds-usb-bitcoin-wallet-device-entropy-with-indiegogo/
assbot: Mycelium Successfully Funds USB Bitcoin Wallet Device, Entropy, With Indiegogo - CryptoCoinsNews
asciilifeform: inferior to hardware
asciilifeform: !s mycelium
assbot: 46 results for 'mycelium' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=mycelium
devthedev: Ugh, CCN
PinkPosixPXE: When the Mycelium Entropy is inserted into the USB drive, hardware-based entropy is harnessed to create a large, truly random, number. The random number is generated using a static RAM chip, which Holcomb, D.E.; Burleson, W.P.; and Fu. K. have proven is capable of generating “128-bit true random numbers.” This number is then used as the seed to generate a private key and corresponding Bitcoin
PinkPosixPXE: address
cazalla: anyone else getting "You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server." on qntra.net?
asciilifeform: ('inferior' is perhaps poor choice of word here. for cryptographic purposes. for, say, homework, where the run must be replicable - one must use prng.)
devthedev: No cazalla
asciilifeform: !s sram rng
assbot: 3 results for 'sram rng' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=sram+rng
asciilifeform: nothing new under the sky.
PinkPosixPXE: asciilifeform: For serious security, perhaps yes, but everything runs on hardware, it's just the software layer that interacts with how entropy is derived from teh hardware wether it's something you plug in or something you run on a server
PinkPosixPXE: but depends on your end goal/objective
asciilifeform: that'd be 'it works better if you plug it in.'
asciilifeform: that is, if you process the output of noise apparatus as prescribed, you get the expected result; if you forget to, and call 'return(3)' as in the comic - not.

asciilifeform: what shall we teach next? arithmetic?
mircea_popescu: cazalla BingoBoingo anyway, we're on to actual ddos, no more of that wordpress mickey mouse bs
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: why are you convinced that it was a 'wordpress'-based ddos ?
mircea_popescu: somebody's butthurt.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Wordpress was their last weapon.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Oh, they really care nao?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the first ~2mn lines all carry the tell tale GET / HTTP/1.0" 508 7287 "-" "WordPress/4.0; http://autobg.eu; verifying pingback from 94.102.51.30 headers.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well, shitty botnet really, under 5k ips.
BingoBoingo: Does rifle make sense as company expense at 500k IP botnet?
asciilifeform: lol pingback crud
mircea_popescu: people with 500k dont derpthis bad
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Because at 500k zombies, rifle is expected
