assbot: Anonimity, or the urban versus rural dispute. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1nWP4nr )
mircea_popescu: you'll probably get overloaded with reading material, but anyway, the general idea is that only children could possibly imagine anonimity is a sufficient substitute for lack of sovereignity. a reasona . a discussion in more detail is in http://trilema.com/2012/anonimity-or-the-urban-versus-rural-dispute/

mircea_popescu: but anyway, tor has a miserable reputation here, publicly due to http://trilema.com/2013/dear-guardian-stop-being-retarded/ but otherwise ancient.

ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-02-2016#1399000 << in the sense that most everything i read here gets filed away and pops up unexpectedly elsewhere. but no, not explicitly.
maqp: CEV is the cascading encryption version
maqp: It's also a lot easier with NaCl than with OTP/CEV (there's a separate command for adding PSKs)
maqp: NaCl also lets you pre-share 256-bit XSalsa20-Poly1305 keys. It was the only practical post-quantum solution at the moment
mircea_popescu: as the saying goes, #b-a presence counts for 30 iq points.
maqp: But since you don't have to read the public key in Base58 format, it could use two different encodings
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: if you don't show up in the forum, marshall hoplits on demand, are you still a senator?
maqp: having to say "upper case B, lower case c".. is almost as bad as the one used in Telegram
maqp: But since users are verifying the public key over Signal call
maqp: I wonder if there's a library for that
maqp: mircea_popescu: indeed. I just figured the few extra chars were't that important, and that typing upper/lower case might make it slower. I'll have to look into that
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for maqp with note: I showed him the log, and he joined! I'm on a roll.
ben_vulpes: yes but /inclusion in the lordship/ for that?
mircea_popescu: otherwise what, wipe mike_c because he had a kid ? nonsense i say!
ben_vulpes: i don't intend this as an attack on mthreat, trying only to tease out the logic.
mircea_popescu: my thinking, vague as i admit it may be, is that if the guy's service is running, the guy is ok.
ben_vulpes: 'running ok' is the criteria?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well, the search is running ok. this is a thing.
ben_vulpes: i also don't quite know what mthreat's doing in there beyond running search and being a known usg antagonist.
maqp: That could work of course, base58 might be better as there's less similar looking chars
ben_vulpes: traverser and *myriad* other contributions.
maqp: unfortunaltely that's the only way to prevent nation state from remotely injecting malware to transmitter device after setup
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no objection ; and in light of the traverser no objection.
maqp: Since it's ECDHE, the security is actually 3072-bit RSA equivalent
maqp: The current version has 72 hex char key you have to manually type to transmitter device; it's similar to manually typing Ricochet/Tox ID
maqp: I tried it earlier, but the classic Diffie-Hellman had much less security and a lot longer public key
maqp: So anyway, as far as the TFC goes, NaCl is the first one to provide practical public key crypto

ben_vulpes: maqp: where does the handle come from?
ben_vulpes: the world just didn't know it yet!
maqp: interesting. There doesn't seem to be a setting for that when uploading key to MIT key server
ben_vulpes: that's the full-length fp
maqp: mircea_popescu: What's the prefix in front of pub key fingerprint?
mircea_popescu: phf aha something like that. i suppose that's really it, move alt to shift or caps or something. tho really caps lock is kinda too high, crosses the fingers.
mircea_popescu: i keep the pinky on ctrl. which is why making it further in would be inconvenient for me.
phf: it sort of relies on the idea that control is easier to chord with. all the control combos are basic text manipulation stuff, so when i'm emacsing i chord with the thumb opposite of key, i.e. c-a is left pinky a, right thumb control
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a 1 BTC with your name on it here. if you post an address in this session you got it. if you disconnect before you registered a sig with assbot, you won't be able to get it cuz i won't know it's you.
maqp: Maybe. Provided that there are no obligations to where my project should be heading towards. I could use a cup of coffee, but it'll take some time to learn how to secure the account and endpoint
