RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu - I have my bot dev on the other line - he is reading the logs right now. This guy runs the bot for my room. lemme know if you're around to chat it up w/ him
RagnarDanneskjol: thats him
RagnarDanneskjol: dunno if he's around Molo, hang in for a bit
BingoBoingo: !up MolokoDeck
MolokoDeck: hello, ragnar
MolokoDeck: so, I'm still reviewing the bitcoin-assets log related to a bot project involving posting and cryptosigning cryptodocuments.. or something to that effect.
MolokoDeck: ok. so it handles both pre-encrypted and plaintext documents.
MolokoDeck: authentication test from a single-point trusted registry.
MolokoDeck: insertion of validation hash onto the bitcoin block chain with a transaction: requires use of the bitcoind API or connection to the bitcoin mining network.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I like LastPass, actually :)
MolokoDeck: also requires the bot to have a wallet.
RagnarDanneskjol: nothing to do with inserting hash to bitcoin
MolokoDeck: am I reading the same thing you are?
RagnarDanneskjol: and not necessarily running bitcoind / wallet. i will let mircea elaborate
MolokoDeck: "2. all the valid deeds received in a specified interval, say 512 seconds, are appended together, hashed, and the resulting hash is inserted into a bitcoin transaction, which becomes part of the bitcoin blocchain."
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol more or less.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDeck hey there.
MolokoDeck: only the validating hash goes on the blockchain, not the entire block of documents, I take it?
MolokoDeck: hello.
mircea_popescu: yes, only the hash.
MolokoDeck: the bot has to buffer state and monitor for validations, which could take tens of minutes, then inform the irc channel, and update the central web logs for public notice.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu you're trying to create some new bot? what purpose?
mircea_popescu: tis in teh logs.
MolokoDeck: automated contract notarization I would think.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDeck validations of what ?
MolokoDeck: or something entirely general purpose.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu you know I am lazy. :(
assbot: #bitcoin-assets log
BigBitz: thanks RagnarDanneskjol.
MolokoDeck: the block of documents gets cryptosigned with a hash of the documents inside. That hash gets sent to the blockchain. The other validation (initial validation) is of the cryptosignature on each document. The documents have to be legit before they go into the bundle that get's logged and recorded permenently as a hash on the blockchain.
MolokoDeck: so I overloade the term "validate".
MolokoDeck: overloaded.
MolokoDeck: the blockchain is being used to make an immutable public record of the authenticating hash of the document bundle being published.
MolokoDeck: since the hash is inserted as a comment in the blockchain, I think one might be able to create bogus blocks that have the same has by inserting a salt and mining a single hash here.
MolokoDeck: lemme think about that.
MolokoDeck: you can't change the hash, but you could make any block match the hash, possibly, if you had enough mining time.
BigBitz: Negative.
MolokoDeck: it wouldn't be on the central trusted registry though, but that may not be entirely secure. or someone would have to check an document the recieved by another channel against the central registry or website.
BigBitz: the nonce, at best, you could influence.
MolokoDeck: ok. am I clueless?
BigBitz: the block hash you cannot influence (AFAIK)
MolokoDeck: right, you'd dither the nonce until you got some other block to match the hash.
BigBitz: heh, I may be clueless, but I don't think a miner can influence the hash value of the clock.
MolokoDeck: oh nevermind. It would have to match the ENTIRE hash. megayears. ok. i get it.
BigBitz: err block.
BigBitz: Yup - correct.
BigBitz: If they had some quantums, maybe :P
MolokoDeck: I'm not sure there's a quantum algorith for SHA256 that's particularly leveraged, but there are supposedly turing-complete quantum gate computers that could accellerate that. Let's not go into that.
MolokoDeck: those don't exist yet at any meaningful scale.
BingoBoingo: lol, There was an optical computing conversation this week...
MolokoDeck: whatever happened to that optical matrix multiplcation chip?
MolokoDeck: ok. getting distracted.
BigBitz: hey.
BigBitz: I just you.
BigBitz: and this is crazy.
BigBitz: but here's my number.
BigBitz: so call me maybe?
mircea_popescu: <MolokoDeck> right, you'd dither the nonce until you got some other block to match the hash. << the nonce isn't actually large enough
BingoBoingo: I just met you, this is crazy. Here's my weiner. So blow me baby.
MolokoDeck: doable in php or python. php has a fairly bad reputation in cryptocurrency lately. And in computer science for different reasons (you can't predict the outcome of certain operations).
mircea_popescu: you'd need a nonce as large as the keyspace of the hash
MolokoDeck: also in php one would either have to use a package or use system calls to do the encryption.
MolokoDeck: I've done it that way.
MolokoDeck: I was wondering about that. I'm not clear on how much influence a nonce has on hash outcomes. so that explains that question.
BigBitz: none is only 32 bit field.
BigBitz: nonce. man. my typing is getting bad in my older years.
MolokoDeck: I was considering just adding an arbirary number of bits to the bogus message.
MolokoDeck: anyway, I think you've settled my question about the feasibility/non-feasibility of spoofing a single hash.
MolokoDeck: the security of the bot sending something via bitcoin api ... still thinking about that.
MolokoDeck: is this for everyone in the world to use, or only for a select community of presumable trusted parties?
MolokoDeck: obviously they'd have to be registered with wot.
RagnarDanneskjol: or just each other
BingoBoingo: MolokoDeck: If you have a good source of entropy for nonces, electrum has a nice CLI, this thing prolly ought to be connected to a private electrum server though if going for that over bitcoind
MolokoDeck: looking at a case where anyone can put a hash on the blockchain and present a document block with that hash.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDeck to validate a hash has to be signed by someone in assbot's l2
mircea_popescu: meh,. a message not a hash
MolokoDeck: sure, a non-mining/non-blockchain-manitaining client.
MolokoDeck: typos.
RagnarDanneskjol: reading for later: http://bh.ht.vc/vhost_confusion.pdf - vhost exploits, sorry pdf only
MolokoDeck: ok. not sure what my timeframe to completion on this would be presuming I would be doing it. My development resources are limited right now (one virtual host)
RagnarDanneskjol: I got server space coming outta my ears
RagnarDanneskjol: all those half finished projects
MolokoDeck: ok. that's solved.
MolokoDeck: heh. I know the feeling.
RagnarDanneskjol: !up MolokoDeck
mircea_popescu: MolokoDeck there's no rush.
mircea_popescu: and yeah, we have ~ one trillion boxes.
MolokoDeck: ok. my feeling about it now is doable. timescale more than a few weeks, adjustment of code until everyone's satsified, then some committment to maintain or modify it if desirable.

justusranvier: The central bank-issued currencies of the world are committing coordinated suicide.
godovo: I thought the current market price is the reflection of exactly that
godovo: it will certainly exist, but at what market cap?
BingoBoingo: The current market shit seems to be an effort to make "paper" BTC a thing like it was at Gox, and well, cycles repeat themselves
justusranvier: Do you have ADD or something? Zoom out, switch to a log scale, and be patient.
pete_dushenski: "Japan GDP Plunges 6.8%, Consumption Down 19.2%, Private Investment Down 9.7%"
justusranvier: It took almost 2 years to recover from the 2011 Goxxing, and the decline was far more severe than this selloff.
justusranvier: BingoBoingo: No matter how often you tell people they don't actually own Bitcoins if somebody else controls the private keys, they don't seem to listen.
pete_dushenski: justusranvier: well this one isn't done yet
justusranvier: pete_dushenski: Right, and it hasn't even been a year yet. Too soon to start panicking.
godovo: justusranvier: I'm not yield hungry - it's just that I don't understand what is happening. are they trying to kill it, or jump the train?
justusranvier: There might not be a unified "they" all acting with a single purpose
TheNewDeal: hey that was my comment
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: for people who're used to keeping hundreds of thousands of dollars at the broker and uncomfortable with their own computer security it's a not unreasonable position.
TheNewDeal: 15gkx is definitely a bot
ben_vulpes: doesn't mean it's not going to fuck them.

justusranvier: THe medium term solution to possible price manipulation is to get the bitcoins off the exchanges and web wallets
mircea_popescu: godovo> so can't this be considered a pathetic attempt?
mircea_popescu: pathetic or valiant, depends where you sleep.
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> cazalla: i guess it's more than most people wager << actually average is like 1btc
BingoBoingo: And how soundly one sleeps.
mircea_popescu: <godovo> what happens if they succeed to kill it's "mass appeal" tho? be it via insane price swings (the volatility argument), or by having big, known "holders" dumping big time? << bitcoin does not, never had and never will have mass apeal.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is the anti-mass.
asciilifeform even thinks that the remaining 'mass appeal' must go away entirely - before anything like stability happens
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i was more comparing cazalla to people with no bitcoin lol
mircea_popescu: in richard's words, "there's a mass that follows me because it follows anything that moves."
godovo: but your whole world domination thing is centered around it gaining huge value and the fiats dying off - how can it happen without the mass appeal?
mircea_popescu: the bar for the mass temporarily thinking something appeals is incredibly low. take nikki minaj.
mircea_popescu: godovo by it gaining elite appeal.
mircea_popescu: not with the elites that were, mind you, the circular "elite because elite because elite"
mircea_popescu: but with the elites that will be.

TheNewDeal: why can these be regular derps?
TheNewDeal: cant*

asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: regular derps presumably got vacuumed a year or two ago

ben_vulpes: in college i used to get the girlies pants off with cheap red wine and fanta.
mircea_popescu: 120 peso = 10 dollars for... just about four liters.
mircea_popescu: aka a galon.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier argentina. i moved here, didn't you know ?
kakobrekla: 6 kgs fresh oranges (35 pesos) -> 1.5liters juice ; 1.5l mineral water (15 pesos) ; fine local cognac, 700ml (80 pesos) ; holes in the wall (unfixable)

mircea_popescu: air is sweet.
mircea_popescu: i tell you, "buenos aires" is no fucking joke. air is actually sweet.
justusranvier: But for sure, the people who've lived there a while have gone through adversity. They've had a currency crash every decade or so.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: We'd get punchbowls, a handle of gin, and mix with Orange Juice and Rainbow Sherbet
mircea_popescu: justusranvier yes, but adversity on their own scale.
justusranvier: Because they've experienced it, they know how to adapt.
mircea_popescu: by this scale, a week in new york is a week in hell, the circle of horn rape

mircea_popescu: good movie.
mircea_popescu: godovo seems like a good place.

godovo: is it for the long-term, the move? I thought you were just traveling
justusranvier: Funny thing about The Warlord is the younger brother is made out to be a villian and Charleton Heston made out to be heroic, however the younger brother is right every step of the way.

mircea_popescu: he's not a knight, he's a rogue.
justusranvier: Regardless.
mircea_popescu: the same thing happens in science all the time
justusranvier: The love interest gets married to a guy who she grew up with in the same house. Warlord refuses to allow the marriage on the grounds of incest. Problem averted.
mircea_popescu: people who are fundamentally right get misrepresented as being utterly wrong because science progresses generally within a paradigm
mircea_popescu: shifts are rare.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier nah. 1) it wasn't incest by the legal definition they were using ; 2) warlord is no cleric.
asciilifeform: do people not read tom kuhn any more ?
justusranvier: Still, they needed his permission to get married. Means he could have denied it and saved a lot of death and property destruction.
asciilifeform tried to find this film, or some discussion thereof - where is it ?

mircea_popescu: that thing
justusranvier: It's a story about how sitting on the fence is the worst possible outcome.
justusranvier: Had the protagonist had simply been ruthless and calculating about getting what he wanted, he could have done so without provoking a revolt. If he had decided to do the right thing, he'd have kept it in his pants and avoided the entire crisis.
justusranvier: By trying to do both, he lost everything.
justusranvier: Moral of the story: If you're going to be a good person or an evil person, at least put in some reasonable effortwhichever option you choose.
mircea_popescu: human condition yo.
mircea_popescu: had you known which is evil and which is good, you could have saved a lot of headache.
