dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-23 12:03:50 whaack: raw_avocado: interesting to note that there is a thin layer of protection already for taproot, namely that 'AreInputsStandard' function.
raw_avocado: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-07-24#1048537 << AFAIK with Taproot also there is no hashing of the pubkey
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-24 16:12:51 punkman: revealed pubkey was also reason for the "only use addresses once" meme, that and nonce attacks when you sign more than 1 tx
raw_avocado: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-07-26#1048655 << they got a new CEO and stopped being silly and said they will "behave"
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-26 13:27:44 punkman: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/mara-pool-and-bitcoin-mining-censorship " this presumably means that this pool will not include transactions in its blocks if these transactions send coins to or from Bitcoin addresses that have been included on an OFAC blacklist." << lol!
raw_avocado: Also they now have a mining council
raw_avocado: Also for the lulz, when the 1st block was minned, people started sending dust to their addr
raw_avocado: Here they wrote a message in persian "Thanks for supporting our cause"
raw_avocado: And then a bunch of CoinJoined TXs and some even with link to DNMs
raw_avocado: But now the real question is did they actually censor any TXs and can we measure this?
raw_avocado: Yes we can, we compare how much diffrent the mined block is to what getblocktemplate() gives us
raw_avocado: And the 0xb10 bloke made a website for this
raw_avocado: So they did not actually censor anything.
punkman: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-07-28#1049099 << neat, might have been useful back in 2016

punkman: adlai: not relevant to accident though
punkman: https://bitcoinops.org/en/compatibility/ seems like most exchanges support outgoing segwit tx. notably binance and bitmex still not using segwit for receiving.

raw_avocado: dpb: word goes around you are a FG dealer. How much does one go for?
dpb: raw_avocado, well it shouldn't be expensive to make your own, but i have the collectable first run, individually numbered units. 2 cents each is what i paid, and i think that's still a fair price
raw_avocado: I am not able to make my own, and i dont want to. You mean BTC0.002?

punkman: "Cardano (ADA) is slated to experience the introduction of smart contracts and the Goguen era within the next few months with the Alonzo Hardfork Combinator Event. But, there is something else up Cardano's sleeve. The mysterious NDA and the secretive travel mentioned by Charles must correspond to some potential partner or partners. So when

asciilifeform: a++ weapon, theoretically, if could be manufactured mechanically. no detector likely to exist, cannot be destroyed short of combustion, persists in soil for years, not broken down by water, sunlight, etc., no antidote and none even hypothesized to exist.
asciilifeform: and fatal dose, theoretically: 1. (not gram, microgram, etc. but simply 1.)
asciilifeform: of course is weapon that cannot be aimed, but not erryone is put off by this.
raw_avocado: asciilifeform: what are good household sources of entropy? like coin tosses and stuff or lava lamps?
asciilifeform: raw_avocado: depends what means 'good' neh.
raw_avocado: Well lets say i want to generate some Bitcoin private keys
asciilifeform: raw_avocado: if you have nothing but a coin and time -- von neumann's debiasing algo worx just as well with paper and pen as with machines
raw_avocado: Or maybe even a BIP39seed.
asciilifeform: raw_avocado: if you aint in much of a hurry -- the above.
raw_avocado: Well my question is what can i use a source, instead of a coin.
asciilifeform: raw_avocado: there is not an 'official' correct answer to this. lotsa physical effects to choose from, and usable for so long as you understand the tradeoffs.
asciilifeform: i for instance picked johnson noise for FG.

asciilifeform: the reasons for this are amply discussed in the log.
whaack: PeterL: Not sure scoopbot is scoopin'
asciilifeform: oh nifty whaack
whaack: raw_avocado: is this an open ended brainstorm type question or a real concern of yours? you could stop a stopwatch if it has miliseconds and record the last few digits a hundred times or so.
asciilifeform: whaack: imho it's a little like asking 'what household object makes the best hammer?' -- buy a fucking hammer.
whaack: lmfao
raw_avocado: whaack: its a brainstorm open ended question
asciilifeform: random bit generation aint hand-to-hand combat, where you use whatever's avail, broken bottles, shoes, etc
raw_avocado: asciilifeform: gotcha
asciilifeform: typically the asker is in a position where he has plenty of time to think & obtain tooling.
asciilifeform: often enuff such thread goes for long enuff that asker could've built FG 2-3 times..
raw_avocado: But ran into this bloke on twitter today https://github.com/jimbojw/seed-picker-solitaire. uses a deck of cards to generata a bip39 seed, i think its kinda convoluted
raw_avocado: And then i was like what are other thinks like a deck of cards, that could do well.
asciilifeform: raw_avocado: nonbinary outputs are a bitch to debias by hand
asciilifeform: if you find yourself in this position, use coin.
raw_avocado: asciilifeform: i looked over the FG website, but i dont understand what those compenents are and how to solder them together. is there a shopping list available?
raw_avocado: nonbinary outputs are a bitch to debias by hand << just mod 2?
raw_avocado: re use coin << i dont want to find the best practival way, i want other ways that works just as good.

asciilifeform: 1st you learn. on something other than parachutes.
raw_avocado: mats: im waiting on a guitar and some other stuff from the US, been months still not here(in the UK currently)

asciilifeform: raw_avocado: maybe write to diana coman, see if will sell you a FG
asciilifeform: i don't expect she needs hers anymoar
raw_avocado: asciilifeform: yes, you are right, and i am not trying to find a macgyver substitute.
raw_avocado: Ok, ill ping her
