ben_vulpes asciilifeform is so much more chatty at the new job [00:06]
ben_vulpes this is like two weeks straight of kilo+ logline days [00:06]
asciilifeform blame the folks doin' the milking [00:06]
ben_vulpes moo, moo [00:07]
asciilifeform 'we don't have a cow! we have a ~bull~...' (tm) (r) ('kingpin') [00:07]

mod6 <+TomServo> I've finally got a node past the wedge, and there was much rejoicing << Rejoice! [00:20]
mod6 In regards to the above email section 0x04: To test this, one can simply grab polarbeard's vpatch and sig and drop them into place, then try to press the entire tree. This should hault throwing an error since the actual output hash does not match the ~expected~ output hash. [00:24]

BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Is blowfish known bad? [00:37]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: not as such [00:37]
asciilifeform but the thing is, the ~total~ lack of sound theoretical basic for ~any~ publicly known block cipher, makes the breaking of one entirely 'ordinary' news, when it happens. [00:38]

gernika mod6: testing out v99995. I notice that if I attempt to press a non-existant v.patch, there is no error, and it goes ahead and presses *something* (seems to generate the full source in the target dir). Not sure if this is intended behavior or not. [00:54]
mod6 huh. ok. [00:57]
mod6 so you ran something like `./v.pl p v foobar non-existing.vpatch` and then something ends up in foobar? [00:58]
gernika right [00:58]
mod6 ok, thanks, i've been working on a fix for a similar thing, actually, which is related to a similar test by ben_vulpes -- but haven't completed it yet. [00:58]

mircea_popescu So in re the tmsr call for papers. the Plouffe-Euler-? block cipher would work as follows : [17:06]
mircea_popescu you need a proper "destructive multiplication" item, which i'll discuss later, noted here º. you proceed to calculate the maxint+key to maxint+key+block digits of pi via repeated applications of the original plouffe algo, and you º the result with the plaintext message which yields the ciphered message. [17:06]
mircea_popescu to decipher you calculate the maxint+key to maxint+key+block digits of e with a plouffe-like algo (not here included) which you º' with the ciphered message yielding the original plaintext. [17:06]
mircea_popescu the properties which º must obviously exhibit make it only partly similar to plain multiplication - perhaps group theory may produce a good candidate, i have not currently a very clear picture of what this item should actually be, but seems like some sort of modulo-multiplicator. [17:06]
mircea_popescu the properties which º' must exhibit may make the entire scheme unfeasible, but i can't seem to prove º' may not exist. [17:06]
mircea_popescu notably, this scheme does not necessarily produce the correct plaintext every time. CRC will probably have to be included in the message in any case ; massaging of convenient º/º' pairs will be required to get error rates statistically under an acceptable threshold. [17:06]
mircea_popescu the ? is obviously reserved for the name of whoever produces the damned º. [17:06]
mircea_popescu maxint in there is quite literally, maxint. currently pi is computed up to about 2*10^13 or so digits. signed 64 bit max is ~10^19 [17:08]

ascii_butugychag the danger of using transcendentals for crypto is that it opens you up to clever analogue (!) attacks [17:12]
mircea_popescu in principle, yeah. [17:13]
mircea_popescu kinda why we go deep into the shag. [17:13]
ascii_butugychag this is sort of why i'd like to take the opposite approach, rather than take a 'this looks confusing!111' item like transcendental digits, take a proven-nphard problem and 'cryptoify' it somehow [17:14]
ascii_butugychag e.g., travelling salesman [17:14]
mircea_popescu also a perfectly valid approach. [17:14]
mircea_popescu the main advantage, perhaps counterin tuitively, to the PE? scheme is that it's so veryt computationally expensive. [17:15]
mircea_popescu contrary to piously fraudulent consensus in the field, expensiveness is a quality of cryptographic items. [17:16]
mircea_popescu it only hinders the people who want to talk about it, is all. [17:16]
ascii_butugychag to a point. [17:16]
mircea_popescu if someone has to expend 1 petahash every time they send me encrypted anything, that's grand. [17:16]
ascii_butugychag a 1-baud ciphertron is not very helpful in most situations. [17:16]
mircea_popescu matter of cost, not of time. [17:17]
ascii_butugychag if parallelizes. [17:17]
mircea_popescu make the postage stamp as part of the encryption, as it were. [17:17]
mircea_popescu give people a perfectly valid reason to only take crypto : "i don't want to be spammed" [17:17]
ascii_butugychag btw you could achieve this right now, by handing out (disposable) crypted turds containing public key (also single-use) that you would then insist on receiving on. [17:17]
ascii_butugychag sender would have to crack the turd. [17:18]
ascii_butugychag i did this in one application. [17:18]
ascii_butugychag and the idea is, i think, old [17:18]
mircea_popescu yeah but this is messier. [17:18]

ascii_butugychag well yes [17:19]
mircea_popescu if it costs enough to speak, these problems are solved by the very speech [17:20]
mircea_popescu which is why i'd like to see much more computationally intensive cipher and encryption. [17:20]
ascii_butugychag 'fuck you, my public key is m * the next mersenne prime' [17:20]
mircea_popescu something like this. [17:20]

thestringpuller ascii_butugychag: yes, saturn V blueprints are on net. lets go to moon shall we? i have 3 days off coming up. [18:00]
Nicknaem i have a weird question [18:00]
ascii_butugychag thestringpuller: this is a very 'hollywood' conception of 'blueprints' [18:01]
ascii_butugychag actual total plans for something include intermediates [18:01]
ascii_butugychag (details of metallurgy, fabrication, etc) [18:01]
phf but fogbank stories always seemed like Damascus steal, i.e. very precise and advanced, once discovered and lost, equally hard to recover. never did i think that something like glove coupling can get fogbanked [18:01]
thestringpuller ascii_butugychag: and this exists for nuke? [18:01]
ascii_butugychag the problem is that no such plans exist for ~anything~ except as part of the engineering context of their time [18:01]

thestringpuller ascii_butugychag: if the looms are destroyed in a fire, there may be no way to reproduce exactly the same end product. [18:04]
ascii_butugychag even v users will get in trouble if we get 200 year gap where no v and no perl, etc [18:04]
thestringpuller process of rediscovery and all that jazz. [18:04]
mircea_popescu ascii_butugychag actually the one trouble for them is... rebasing :) [18:04]
mircea_popescu this being the chief argument against that. [18:04]
ascii_butugychag nah, the trouble is always same, 'wtf did it all mean' [18:04]
mircea_popescu but you have incremental, crypto-proofed history from an earlier point. [18:05]
mircea_popescu the unreliability of record being the chief reason we don;t know history today [18:05]

phf mircea_popescu: ok, i don't get it, about the card printed [18:12]
mircea_popescu more importantly : we've done enough positive work, to be met by the imbecile's "oh it never happened, if it did we did it already" as seen most recently in reddit's digestion of the block thing ; or in phuctor etc. it's time we do something inquisitive, and let the entire world full of fucktards admit that they're useless. [18:12]
mircea_popescu "oh, this is not important" blabla. [18:12]
mircea_popescu phf could have "yes, exactly" on one side and "right, exactly" on the other and you could just raise it as appropriate :D [18:13]
