RebeccaBitcoin I have an entropy question [06:23]
ben_vulpes oooh [06:23]
ben_vulpes these are always fun [06:23]
RebeccaBitcoin oooh indeed [06:23]
RebeccaBitcoin is this site safe: rushwallet.com [06:24]

RebeccaBitcoin is that mouse movement sae [06:24]
RebeccaBitcoin safe [06:24]
RebeccaBitcoin as a method of generating entropy or whatever [06:24]
ben_vulpes nah. [06:25]
Vexual i use my left hand [06:25]
RebeccaBitcoin thank you for that elaborate answer [06:26]
RebeccaBitcoin "nah" [06:26]
ben_vulpes i wonder if its trivially bruteforceable [06:26]
ben_vulpes RebeccaBitcoin: thou shalt not mix js and crypto, much less js and entropy. [06:26]
RebeccaBitcoin k, but why isn't this safe [06:27]
RebeccaBitcoin and if it isn't, how would you hack it [06:27]
fluffypony I don't think the mouse movey thing is any worse than the the way /dev/urandom collects entropy from mouse movements / keyboard entry [06:27]
* assbot gives voice to peterl [06:27]
fluffypony from an entropy perspective it's a perfectly viable aspect [06:27]
RebeccaBitcoin btw, this is owned by Kryptokit (ie Anthony) and his crew [06:27]
fluffypony as ben_vulpes points out there are other issues [06:27]
fluffypony RebeccaBitcoin: is your aim to have a Bitcoin wallet so you can send and receive Bitcoin, or is your aim to write a scathing review? [06:28]
ben_vulpes i mean it said "okay!" after a hilariously short period of time. [06:28]
ben_vulpes tengo mucho sospechosa [06:28]
Vexual up down left, yeah got it [06:28]
ben_vulpes up up down down right a b bitcoin! [06:28]
fluffypony ben_vulpes: I guess it's using the normal random available to JS and sprucing it up [06:28]
ben_vulpes but is it ====== random? [06:29]

RebeccaBitcoin ok, change my question [06:29]
RebeccaBitcoin is it safe [06:29]
ben_vulpes hell no [06:30]
fluffypony no [06:30]
ben_vulpes thou shalt not etc [06:30]
RebeccaBitcoin like if I put 10 bitcoins in here [06:30]
RebeccaBitcoin for fun [06:30]
fluffypony definitely not [06:30]
RebeccaBitcoin would they get stolen [06:30]
fluffypony within what time frame [06:30]
ben_vulpes ;;8ball RebeccaBitcoin ^^ [06:30]
gribble What are you asking me for? [06:30]
RebeccaBitcoin by safe I don't mean nerd safe [06:30]
ben_vulpes ;;8ball RebeccaBitcoin ^^ [06:30]
gribble Come again? [06:30]
ben_vulpes ;;8ball will the coins get stolen? [06:30]
gribble The outlook is hazy, please ask again later. [06:30]
RebeccaBitcoin I mean like reasonably safe [06:30]
fluffypony ;;8ball will RebeccaBitcoin's coins get stolen? [06:30]
gribble The outlook is good. [06:30]
RebeccaBitcoin thank you gribble [06:30]
fluffypony well there you go [06:30]
ben_vulpes for the bruteforcers... [06:30]
RebeccaBitcoin nerd safe vs reasonably safe [06:30]
Vexual lol ben [06:31]
ben_vulpes meaningless distinction. [06:31]
fluffypony RebeccaBitcoin: it's not even reasonably safe, given the track record of web wallets [06:31]
RebeccaBitcoin so nerd safe = the type of people who print a paper wallet then toss the printer over niagara fallls [06:31]
fluffypony nah [06:31]
ben_vulpes no. it's a meaningless distinction. [06:31]
fluffypony I'm a nerd, I use Electrum [06:31]
fluffypony and it's safe by my standards [06:31]
peterl is it a risk to advertise which type of wallet you use? [06:31]
fluffypony peterl: nope [06:32]
Vexual yes [06:32]
RebeccaBitcoin its not a meaningless distinction. Someone told me yesterday that to make a paper wallet I should use a new laptpo, and a new printer, then I should take both and destroy them. Then I should put both in a fire [06:32]
RebeccaBitcoin like wtf [06:32]
fluffypony RebeccaBitcoin: those people are crazy [06:32]
RebeccaBitcoin yah [06:32]
fluffypony there's a middle ground between paranoid and convenient [06:32]
RebeccaBitcoin so thats my distinction between reasonably safe and nerd safe [06:32]
fluffypony a web wallet is not that middle ground [06:32]
RebeccaBitcoin to the earlier question, no, I'm not going to write a scathing review [06:32]
fluffypony middle ground is anything where you are entirely, solely, and completely responsible for the safety of your funds [06:33]
fluffypony not some third party [06:33]
RebeccaBitcoin apparently this is open source [06:33]
RebeccaBitcoin and its made by kryptokit [06:33]
RebeccaBitcoin which is also open source [06:33]
RebeccaBitcoin and you can run it offline [06:33]
RebeccaBitcoin my concern is that the mouse movey thing for like 5 seconds isn't all that secure [06:34]
RebeccaBitcoin someone else pointed out that there are other issues [06:34]
ben_vulpes we're trying to tell you that it ain't secure at all., honey. [06:34]
RebeccaBitcoin Ok good. [06:34]
RebeccaBitcoin can that be demonstrated [06:34]
ben_vulpes who are you again? [06:34]
mircea_popescu heya RebeccaBitcoin [06:34]
RebeccaBitcoin ah good [06:34]
RebeccaBitcoin Mircea is here [06:34]
RebeccaBitcoin I was hoping for Bitcoin Pete, but you'll have to do [06:35]
fluffypony lol [06:35]
mircea_popescu cheeky joo is she. [06:35]

RebeccaBitcoin anyway back to my question [06:38]
RebeccaBitcoin mircea [06:38]
RebeccaBitcoin I don't know how to do the thing that makes your name light up [06:38]
RebeccaBitcoin anyway [06:38]
RebeccaBitcoin rushwallet.com [06:38]
RebeccaBitcoin secure or not [06:38]
RebeccaBitcoin Assuming no, why? [06:38]
fluffypony not [06:39]
mircea_popescu no dude. listen better. [06:39]
mircea_popescu because of many reasons which you will find reading the logs [06:39]
mircea_popescu this has been done to death. [06:39]
RebeccaBitcoin This particular site has been done to death? [06:39]
RebeccaBitcoin really? [06:39]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: we already told her why [06:39]
decimation roll dice to generate your ecdsa key :) [06:39]
mircea_popescu ^ [06:39]
mircea_popescu preferably made out of the bones of your enemies [06:39]
RebeccaBitcoin that doesn't explain why [06:39]
decimation perfectly level and razor sharp of course [06:40]
RebeccaBitcoin if I put 10 bitcoin in a wallet there [06:40]
RebeccaBitcoin can any of you steal it [06:40]
mircea_popescu (seriously tho, here's a good approach : make your dices out of ice. they will melt, yes, and not be even, yes. [06:40]
mircea_popescu BUT IMPREDICTABLY SO) [06:40]
fluffypony RebeccaBitcoin: it's not us you should be worried about. [06:40]
peterl does having a python script generate a bunch of random dice rolls count as rolling dice? [06:40]
Vexual melt roll melt roll [06:40]
decimation lol [06:40]
mircea_popescu RebeccaBitcoin you know we didn't steal any of the OTHER btc that got stolen, either. [06:40]
RebeccaBitcoin lol [06:40]
mircea_popescu this is scarcely an argument [06:40]
decimation somewhere your python script is calling random() or whatever [06:40]
mircea_popescu peterl no, and i hope that was being funny [06:40]
* AndrewJackson has quit (Quit: For Bitcoin to make it it needs to be banned by a few governments and critiqued by policy makers - Nassim Taleb) [06:41]
peterl right, how random is python's random()? [06:41]
mircea_popescu meh-random. [06:41]
mircea_popescu like a layer of meh on top of urandom's meh. [06:41]
decimation sigh, that's not even the issue, the real issue is how random is your linux or windows or mac's random [06:41]
decimation which is basically as good as moving your mouse around [06:41]
RebeccaBitcoin argh, now this is a typical nerd debate. [06:42]
mircea_popescu decimation not rly. it's not great, but it still takes ethernet disks etc [06:42]
decimation yeah it's more than keyboard mouse I know [06:42]
mircea_popescu RebeccaBitcoin you know, before you can think yourself better than everyone else you must put your tits in the tit gallery. [06:42]
RebeccaBitcoin "If I compile the php script and then reconcile it with a mysql database, then reconfigure it to your home computer's settings I can find your brain wallet" [06:42]
RebeccaBitcoin @mircea asshole [06:43]
cazalla RebeccaBitcoin, you bought ether, correct? theft is not a concern if you're giving your bitcoins away [06:43]
mircea_popescu i can find your brain wallet right now. sha512sum("iamhotshit"); [06:43]
RebeccaBitcoin Yes, I did buy some ether [06:43]
asciilifeform nerd safe = the type of people who print a paper wallet then toss the printer << this subject is worth exploring at length [06:43]
decimation rebeccabitcoin, ultimately what you are asking is "audit my security" which involves multiple levels of unkonown software [06:43]
RebeccaBitcoin and yes I realize I should ahve just bought it from mircea instead [06:43]
fluffypony RebeccaBitcoin: again - for ordinary users you simply need something that is completely under your control, and for your purposes Electrum is fine. It is small and lightweight, it doesn't download the full blockchain (about 20mb in downloads is all it needs thus far), and it has a 12 word mnemonic you write down to backup your wallet. It's literally all I need. [06:43]
decimation to do a proper job would require thousands of good man hours, which you can't afford [06:43]
asciilifeform in oil prospecting, salvage diving, etc. there is a concept where safety measures that the crew will not follow because they 'seen ridiculous' - are useless [06:44]
fluffypony RebeccaBitcoin: https://electrum.org [06:44]

fluffypony there [06:44]
fluffypony problem solved. [06:44]
asciilifeform *seem [06:44]
RebeccaBitcoin I'm obviously not asking for that reason [06:44]

RebeccaBitcoin Becky's coins [06:44]
asciilifeform i still can't fathom what people mean when they ask 'is X safe' [06:45]
asciilifeform safe for what? [06:45]
decimation asciilifeform this is basically "don't blame the pilot" in the air-crash investigations [06:45]
RebeccaBitcoin Anthony Diloilorio [06:45]
Vexual you wouldn't discard a printer [06:45]

mircea_popescu safe for what? << maid safe. [06:48]
asciilifeform RebeccaBitcoin: seems like two separate questions in your original question. 1) mouse movement as method of generating key and 2) particular web-based gizmo for doing so [06:48]
RebeccaBitcoin k [06:48]
RebeccaBitcoin 1) Is mouse movement, as used in rushwallet.com safe? [06:48]
RebeccaBitcoin 2) If rushwallet.com safe [06:48]
decimation 3.) does the javascript upload privkey to the server? [06:48]
RebeccaBitcoin Safe = If I put 10btc in a wallet and post the public key here, will it get stolen within 90 days [06:48]
RebeccaBitcoin apparently not [06:48]
RebeccaBitcoin they say open source but I can't find the source [06:49]
asciilifeform exercise for student (or bored person of any other species) - log a typical 'mouse wiggle' session; fit to curves (your choice.) [06:49]
decimation if you can't find the source of the javascript on your webpage you are in a world of hurt [06:49]
RebeccaBitcoin is it that easy? [06:49]
RebeccaBitcoin I just open safari's developer stuff and click source? [06:49]
decimation you can't run it if you don't have the source [06:49]
decimation that being said, it might be compressed/obfuscated [06:50]
asciilifeform RebeccaBitcoin: will it get stolen within 90 days << this is an uncommonly poor tactic (yes, popular in the 'computer insecurity' business, but it sucks still) - would you test, say, a door lock this way? [06:50]
asciilifeform 'house not burgled in 90 days - perfect lock' [06:50]
RebeccaBitcoin yes [06:51]
kakobrekla on the other hand, locks safety is defined by how much time it takes to break it. [06:51]
RebeccaBitcoin exactly [06:51]
RebeccaBitcoin I can pick my apartment lock in approximately 5 minutes [06:51]
kakobrekla (not saying its not stupid!) [06:51]
asciilifeform but would you assume burglars will line up to try, simply by virtue of you having wished it? [06:51]
RebeccaBitcoin if I could pick it in 30 seconds I would concerned [06:51]
decimation afaik high-leve usg safes are 2 hours [06:51]
asciilifeform decimation: nitpick. usg-blessed safes are optimized for tamper-evidence, rather than absolute strength [06:52]
RebeccaBitcoin if I put money in a wallet [06:52]
RebeccaBitcoin give you the public key [06:52]
asciilifeform (one usually is more concerned that seekrit dokument isn't stolen undetected, rather than mere fact of theft) [06:52]
RebeccaBitcoin inform you its on rush wallet [06:52]
fluffypony RebeccaBitcoin: if you put 10 BTC in a wallet and posted about it on Reddit and some netsec mailing lists and gave it 90 days that would be a concrete test [06:52]
RebeccaBitcoin and say "Go" [06:52]
RebeccaBitcoin and it takes you more than 90 days to crack it, I would call it "reaosnably safe" [06:53]
asciilifeform RebeccaBitcoin: but why would we 'go' ? [06:53]
decimation I think they distinguish between overt and covert entry [06:53]
RebeccaBitcoin You would "go" because with 10 coins you could safely move out of your moms basement [06:53]
asciilifeform RebeccaBitcoin: pill against your particular system may well be worth > 10 btc. [06:53]

asciilifeform RebeccaBitcoin: so attacker could move from mother's basement into a palace, were he to sell the attack to a higher bidder, vs. your 10 merely moves him to a new flat. [06:54]
fluffypony there's that too [06:54]
mircea_popescu and it takes you more than 90 days to crack it, I would call it "reaosnably safe" << takes about two hours, if someone could be arsed. [06:54]
RebeccaBitcoin really? [06:54]
mircea_popescu someone here could not be arsed for 10btc, and someone who could be arsed ain't here. [06:54]

mircea_popescu you seem to realise somehow halfway in the middle. [06:55]
mircea_popescu there';s no mind involved. asciilifeform already told you the process. [06:55]
fluffypony mircea_popescu is a cracker now? [06:55]
* Basquiat_ has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [06:55]
FabianB RebeccaBitcoin: main concern with sites like rushwallet are probably not third-parties but the site owners themselfes, private key is in the url, readable by javascript; even if the private key is not read by current js, they can change it any second, read it, send it to their server [06:56]
RebeccaBitcoin noted [06:56]
fluffypony seriously - there are people that specialise in this that could probably do it faster than anyone here, and even we can ascertain what the threat model is [06:56]
asciilifeform RebeccaBitcoin: if you were to set to it, how long would it take you to build a small two-cycle petrol engine? [06:56]
decimation from ore? [06:56]
Vexual coupla days [06:56]
RebeccaBitcoin I'm not sure what that is [06:56]
Vexual yep [06:56]
RebeccaBitcoin my first step would be to copy and paste that to craiglist [06:56]
RebeccaBitcoin then hire someone [06:57]
RebeccaBitcoin then tada, I'm done [06:57]
decimation orlov is right [06:57]
asciilifeform RebeccaBitcoin: then you learn another useful lesson - what a professional machinist charges. [06:57]
asciilifeform (you'll be quite surprised.) [06:57]
asciilifeform (and possibly tempted to change professions) [06:57]
RebeccaBitcoin I'm an aspiring hacker [06:58]
Vexual then build it offline and run at it [06:58]
RebeccaBitcoin k heres my plan [06:58]
decimation that's assuming that you designed the parts too, he's gonna charge way more if you need design help [06:58]
RebeccaBitcoin take rush wallet [06:58]
RebeccaBitcoin put it online [06:58]
RebeccaBitcoin on a different domain [06:58]
RebeccaBitcoin use your stealy stuff that records the private key [06:58]
RebeccaBitcoin set up a bot to monitor the balances of the private keys [06:59]
RebeccaBitcoin get 29823832892389 coinz [06:59]
RebeccaBitcoin put those coins on mpex [06:59]
fluffypony ok have fun [06:59]
fluffypony let us know how it goes [06:59]
RebeccaBitcoin etc. [06:59]
decimation one can design black boxes with assumptions inside all day; what matters is the ability to master the details implict in all the assumptions being made [06:59]
asciilifeform brings to mind an ancient recipe for chicken soup (attributed to the gypsies, but accounts vary) [07:00]
asciilifeform 1) find a chicken. [07:00]
asciilifeform 2) ... [07:00]
RebeccaBitcoin So in conclusion: I should not store any coins with rush wallet, unless the amount is such that I don't mind losing them. [07:00]
asciilifeform 1) get 29823832892389 ... [07:00]
kakobrekla 121 ? [07:01]
fluffypony RebeccaBitcoin: yes [07:01]
decimation well, what is certainly true is that you have run the privkey generator on your own machine, using reasonably open software, you have more (not absolute) confidence that your keys are not compromised [07:01]
ben_vulpes RebeccaBitcoin: mind you, that amount can change rapidly based on their fiat denomination, and your lazy self might decline to move them until it's too late. [07:02]
ben_vulpes there's a saying [07:02]
ben_vulpes "anything worth doing is worth doing well". [07:02]
decimation absolute confidence is impossible until asciilifeform gets his room-sized fpga [07:02]
ben_vulpes treat your satoshis well and your integer btc will treat you well. [07:02]
asciilifeform decimation: nope. until you (in general sense of 'you') do... [07:02]
decimation heh yeah well we need to find a sufficiently rich prince [07:03]
RebeccaBitcoin Before this conversation got out of hand, i was mainly referring to the ability of this site to generate a random wallet. I've read before that mouse entropy is crap. While there are 2892383289 ^298289 possible private keys for Bitcoin, a wallet like this might be much more limited. As such, a system like this might only be capable of generating a [07:03]
RebeccaBitcoin certain number of private keys, thus making the possibliity of hashing all of the possibilities possible, then draining any accounts. [07:03]
asciilifeform good summary re: mouse in principle [07:04]
ben_vulpes RebeccaBitcoin: i wonder if its trivially bruteforceable [07:04]
decimation asciilifeform stated this above, more or less [07:04]
RebeccaBitcoin So yes, right? [07:04]
asciilifeform but, other fact, question of what was actually served up to you when you browse the site on a particular occasion. [07:04]
decimation and what your client transmits in response [07:04]
RebeccaBitcoin Assuming I download the source code, it seems legit, I put it on an offline computer. [07:04]
RebeccaBitcoin no uploading, no shady shit [07:05]
decimation what would be the point of an offline web wallet? [07:05]
mircea_popescu fluffypony im a jack of all trades [07:05]

mircea_popescu oh snap. [07:07]
RebeccaBitcoin haha [07:07]
asciilifeform novice can be considered 'graduated' and teachable, e.g. actual maths, when she stops saying 'safe' except to refer to a heavy metal box [07:07]

fluffypony near as I can ascertain [19:36]
fluffypony $600 million worth of mining hardware would not work [19:36]
fluffypony it would bump difficulty up to over 100 billion [19:36]
asciilifeform fluffypony: try 600 million sans electric bill [19:36]
asciilifeform or, alternatively, usurpation of existing capacity [19:36]
fluffypony ok - so assuming you userp all existing capacity [19:37]
fluffypony it still bumps diff to over 81 billion [19:37]
fluffypony at 0 electricity cost [19:37]
fluffypony assuming the usual profitability fall-off in mining [19:37]
fluffypony you'd take a year to break even [19:38]
asciilifeform which fall-off? block reward halving ? [19:39]
fluffypony no, increasing difficulty [19:39]
fluffypony although I suppose you'd have little in the way of competition at that juncture [19:39]
fluffypony still, with no fall-off, complete replacement of existing hashing power, and no electricity, you're still on break-even after 263 days [19:40]
fluffypony pretty sure if that happened they'd move the PoW to SHA3 :-P [19:40]
asciilifeform who is 'they' ? [19:40]
fluffypony His Royal Gavinness [19:41]
fluffypony He Who Is Weighted 40 for Gitian Signing [19:41]

mike_c we already know what happens when govt starts mining. difficulty bumps to 19B. [19:42]
fluffypony a change in PoW because the mining network is being replaced by a single competitor is a completely different value proposition [19:43]
fluffypony I'm confident we'd see acceptance of that change across the board in such an event [19:44]

fluffypony either way, it's all hypothetical [19:44]
fluffypony I just don't think that this is entirely plausible through mining or market buys [19:45]
* asciilifeform knows no hard facts whatsoever about ownership distribution of existing mining hardware, and you - for any value of 'you' - don't either. [19:45]
mike_c how so? the possibilites aren't limitless [19:45]
fluffypony sure, but there are known mining entities [19:45]
fluffypony that get interviewed and are outspoken and own relatively huge mining farms [19:46]
mircea_popescu $600 million worth of mining hardware would not work << kinda th point. [19:46]
fluffypony if they felt their hashrate was being unatturally displaced they would say something [19:46]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: yes - I'm backing what you said up [19:46]
asciilifeform using methods known to even the lowliest spammer, you can make an arbitrarily large hash farm look like an arbitrarily large number of proportionately-smaller ones [19:46]
fluffypony I had to run the numbers myself to confirm my gut feeling [19:46]
