mircea_popescu well, get a government that's not shutdown [00:30]

kakobrekla id live with the fact someone can replace it [00:42]
kakobrekla but not read it [00:42]
mircea_popescu why's your key so great you want to keep it anyway ? i bet you it wasn't gen'd on hardware rngs for instance. [00:43]
* dexX7 has quit () [00:44]
* daybyter has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) [00:45]
kakobrekla its not that i want to keep it [00:45]
kakobrekla i just want to define it [00:45]
mircea_popescu but whay ? [00:45]
kakobrekla so i can keep it! [00:45]
jborkl he meant defile it [00:46]
pankkake 0 1 ∞ [00:46]
mircea_popescu you mean keep it as in backup it ? [00:46]
Namworld So he can keep using it/store it/transfer it to a replacement device [00:46]
Namworld Assuming he got an offline backup [00:46]
mircea_popescu one problem i see with this directly is that people will keep insecure copies and then go "o noes someone hacked my cardano and stole my key!11" [00:46]
Namworld And keep the Cardano while on the move [00:46]
mircea_popescu i think the better solution is to use a master and sign a cardano for the move. [00:47]
kakobrekla my copy is on paper and on a safe place [00:47]
mircea_popescu sorta use the cardano as a subbie in that context. [00:47]
kakobrekla and i want to keep that backup [00:47]
Namworld What if the master cardano breaks? [00:47]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla well i didn't mean you. i meant people! [00:47]
Namworld You're kind of screwed [00:47]
mircea_popescu Namworld master doesn't have to be a cardano necessarily. [00:47]
Namworld True [00:47]
mircea_popescu it can be, sure, but if you don't trust it you can just use it as a sub to your main key which you keep traditionally. [00:48]
Namworld Well I suppose that could work [00:48]
Namworld Definitly [00:48]
kakobrekla yet you cant use it for mpex if you dont have main key [00:48]
kakobrekla except if you reg a new key [00:48]
mircea_popescu you can as long as you reg it there. [00:48]
kakobrekla which is 'disposable' [00:48]
kakobrekla which sux [00:49]
mircea_popescu hm ? [00:49]
kakobrekla no way to have backup to mpex acc then [00:49]
Namworld If the cardano breaks, you're out of shares and need to pay for a new account. [00:49]
kakobrekla if the device breaks [00:49]
Namworld No backups [00:49]
mircea_popescu well yes, using a device of this type for that purpose seems like you're asking for trouble. [00:51]
mike_c the cardano should backup the private key to the cloud. [00:51]
mike_c (kidding) [00:51]
kakobrekla lol [00:51]
mircea_popescu sorta like carrying cats in your pant pocket [00:51]
mircea_popescu anyway, we'll get a better idea as to how reliable the things are after they've been in the wild a year or two. atm all i can say is they should be pretty reliable. [00:52]
Vexual prp? [00:52]
kakobrekla yeah its a serious device for serious security but its so serious you cant have backups and so its not usable for serious stuff. [00:53]
kakobrekla :p [00:53]
mircea_popescu it's so secret you can't have backups. [00:53]
mircea_popescu this is a frontline itam. you go into enemy territory with it. [00:54]
mike_c still.. a straight up better replacement for securID? [00:54]
midnightmagic mike_c MiningBuddy- mircea_popescu mius mixdio [00:54]
mircea_popescu mike_c i think so. [00:54]
mircea_popescu also much better scp than scp. [00:54]
mircea_popescu also much better 2fa. [00:54]
Vexual i like the faraday cage bit [00:54]
mircea_popescu in principle you could design your garage door/house door to take a usb stick [00:55]
mircea_popescu and just open them with a purpose cardano. [00:55]
Vexual a thin lead case perhaps, so one can be sure it's in ones pocket [00:55]
mircea_popescu whiuch, even if someome smacks you over the head, can't be cloned [00:55]
mircea_popescu because no backup [00:55]
kakobrekla so they just terminate you on spot [00:55]
kakobrekla without giving you a chance! [00:56]
kakobrekla pft! [00:56]
mircea_popescu carry a bigger stick. [00:56]
mircea_popescu Cardano on a stick! [00:56]
mike_c another question you won't answer yet (even though potential investors would love to know), target release date? [00:57]
Vexual my solar storm has begun [00:57]

FabianB mircea_popescu: so this is a simplified and bigger version of http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto-single.html ? [01:38]
mircea_popescu as best i can see it has little in common really. [01:39]
mircea_popescu need not go any further than http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto-single.html#id2507296 [01:40]

Vexual good, i like drama [01:41]
FabianB mircea_popescu: maybe, but there seem to be 4096 versions too, and can handle kakobreklas wish for programmability (which of course decreases security) [01:43]
mircea_popescu which kinda is the point. [01:43]
asciilifeform anybody make one with a zapper? [01:44]
mircea_popescu as best i can see the smartcard is a sort of fun and games project, let's play with smartcards. it doesn't have the critical features such as separation of key from slate. [01:44]
mircea_popescu such as hardware rng, such as the zapper yes, [01:44]
mircea_popescu it's a laundry list. [01:44]
asciilifeform only people I know who include the zapper are, well, classic NSA. and they don't have a retail store. [01:44]
mircea_popescu they do, but they only sell to iran [01:45]
FabianB what's a zapper? [01:46]
Vexual cyanide pill? [01:46]
asciilifeform Vexual: if you were to introduce key importation, the zapper would have to come with cyanide. [01:47]
asciilifeform whereas the answer to the inquisitor's 'where are the other copies' is correctly 'nowhere.' [01:47]
Vexual what is zapper? [01:48]
Vexual rom write? [01:48]
bitesak the ability to destroy the key? [01:48]

pankkake well, I get the point of the device, but no backup is a dealbreaker for me [01:53]
FabianB mircea_popescu: hmm.. but could gpg's smarcard api be used with cardano for signing/encryption instead of copying files? [01:53]
jurov asciilifeform: you have not considered adding a display? it's the thing i like about trezor [01:53]
jurov so that stuff to be signed can be verified right on the device [01:53]
mircea_popescu FabianB perhaps. i'll have to look into that. [01:53]

mircea_popescu it's written in blood. [01:55]

pankkake I guess you can write software using it, of course, but it's clever [01:56]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2750 @ 0.00085157 = 2.3418 BTC [+] {2} [01:57]
pankkake how would it work, to encrypt a, say, 4 GB file? [01:57]
mircea_popescu the encrypt is not handled by the cardano [01:58]
mircea_popescu decription admittedly may take a minute at that size. [01:58]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3450 @ 0.00085214 = 2.9399 BTC [+] {2} [01:58]
pankkake oh I'm dumb. you only need the pubkey for that [01:58]
mircea_popescu :p [01:58]
pankkake but yeah, the decryption then… [01:58]
pankkake it would have to work in a "streaming" way [01:59]
pankkake and I don't think you can do that with a filesystem [01:59]
mircea_popescu why ? [01:59]
mircea_popescu (why streaming) [01:59]
pankkake does the cardana have gigabytes of storage? [01:59]
pankkake cardano* [01:59]
mircea_popescu C) Working slate ROM. This Flash ROM is removable, and may be inspected or replacedx by customers either before deploying the unit or at any point during. [02:00]
mircea_popescu if it doesn't you can solder your own in. [02:00]
mircea_popescu o wait. no need to solder, cause nsa made it replaceable. [02:00]
pankkake ROM is Read Only Memory right? so I don't get it [02:01]
mircea_popescu it's the same thing you find if you crack open any usb stick [02:01]
pankkake I wouldn't call it ROM [02:02]
mircea_popescu >< [02:02]
mircea_popescu but then again you're french. [02:02]
Vexual cdr is rom [02:02]
pankkake well you're ROManian… [02:02]
jurov mircea_popescu: really, what happens if i put on it 4GB file to decrypt? where will it put the decrypted file? [02:02]
mircea_popescu jurov well hopefully it has a 8gb slate, it puts it right there [02:02]
mircea_popescu pankkake no srsly, it's what they're called. [02:03]
jurov especially if gpg compressed it while encrypting [02:03]
pankkake I guess (looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory) [02:03]
pankkake but you will confuse people. Flash memory could be clearer [02:03]
mircea_popescu ram is volatile, rom is not volatile. it's what the words mean. [02:03]
mircea_popescu if it confuses people it's because people gotta learn what the words mean. [02:04]
pankkake anyway, I think an optional, streaming interface would be good [02:04]

mircea_popescu so as to rpotect from a variety of snooping techniques such as diff analysis from the host. [02:05]
pankkake it doesn't have to be different - it would simply be another service provided by the device; and would probably provide less attack vectors than the filesystem [02:05]
pankkake I mean, it can perfectly provide both [02:06]
jurov oh, and have you considered safely erasing decrypted stuff once it is used? [02:06]

mircea_popescu jurov the writing scheme is most-used rather than least-used [02:06]
mircea_popescu consequently, you can trash the bits yourself by repeatedly copying/deleting a file to it. [02:07]
pankkake jurov: there is actually a better way: use a one-time-encryption key for the filesystem. each time you reboot it, it is effectively erased [02:07]
mircea_popescu pankkake it's never rebooted. [02:07]
pankkake then unmount/remount [02:07]

mircea_popescu something like that. [02:07]
Vexual call it solid state, it sounds more expensive than rom or flash [02:08]
jurov hmmmm... cuz safely erasing today's wear-levelled flash memory is non-trivial endeavor [02:08]
pankkake it's less IO expensive than erasing the data (but more CPU expensive as anything written is encrypted) [02:08]
jurov or you use something custom? [02:08]
mircea_popescu jurov which is why this is optimised the opposite way. it will wear down the bits. [02:08]
mircea_popescu yes, tis custom. [02:08]
pankkake custom how? [02:09]
mircea_popescu custom as in, it optimises for maximum wear. [02:10]
mircea_popescu as opposed to how commercial flash drioves work (optimised for least wear) [02:10]
pankkake doesn't really respond to the "is the decrypted data recoverable" [02:10]
jurov ^this [02:11]
mircea_popescu it does. if you are concerned about this point, copy a file repeatedly until the bits die, and so then it won't be. [02:11]
mircea_popescu if you're not, you're not. [02:11]
pankkake that sucks, and as stated, you have ways to make the concern go away *and* not wear the thing [02:11]
mircea_popescu sometime life sucks. [02:12]
pankkake your product is flawed, there are easy ways to fix it and yet… no? [02:13]
mircea_popescu the product is fine. you have an issue being somehow convinced you can design stuff while simultaneously not having a clue what rom is. [02:14]

mircea_popescu pankkake listen man, sometimes you will confront this situation where your imagination does not meet reality. people will tell you this, you will have to somehow digest it. [02:21]
mircea_popescu there's no way around it, and petulence certainly ain't it. [02:22]
jurov whose petulance? [02:23]
mircea_popescu the definition of petulence is "i've not done anything to date but i will declare your item "flawed" because i am upset that you don't agree with what i think is the case". [02:23]
pankkake again, if your product has no instand erase of its decrypted contents, it loses a great deal of attractivity - telling users they have to shred themselves is far away from the goal of having an easy secure device [02:23]
mircea_popescu can you quote where this goal you imagine for me was stated ? [02:24]
* CheckDavid has quit (Quit: Leaving) [02:25]
jurov yeah cause very easy to use, very hard to fuck anything up. [02:25]
mircea_popescu hardly a goal. but anyway, let's go throuigh the thing to make sure we're all on the same page, har har. [02:25]
mircea_popescu if you have remote control of the connected pc, but no physical control of the stick, [02:26]
pankkake and the worst thing is, it's not a big deal to fix. there is no reason to start going all like "it's not a problem" [02:26]
mircea_popescu you can't read the deleted part of the work slate. [02:26]
mircea_popescu if you have physical control of the stick, you can remove the working slate, but still can't read it, because it has a cypher. [02:26]
pankkake you can read the raw filesystem of usb sticks [02:26]
mircea_popescu if you are real good and manage to extracrt the cypher out of the chip and decode the working slate, you might be able to read whatever's not been destroyed on the drive. [02:27]
mircea_popescu the definitive protection to this is a) don't lose physical control of the stick and b) destroy the slate. [02:27]
mircea_popescu this is how the thing is intended to work. there aren't and won't be unrelated cases glued on because people think they're cool. [02:27]
mircea_popescu because this isn't a cool thing, this is a useful thing. [02:27]
pankkake no, you can simply read the whole filesystem silently, when it is plugged [02:28]
mircea_popescu and you know this because ? [02:28]
pankkake because that's how USB Mass Storage works [02:28]
mircea_popescu right-o. [02:28]
asciilifeform ok I should probably chime in here. Easy answer: [02:28]
asciilifeform we have a session block cipher key for working slate in SRAM [02:28]
mircea_popescu bah ruining all my fun. [02:29]
pankkake asciilifeform: wow, so… that what I was proposing! [02:29]
pankkake see? don't deny the issue, especially if it is already fixed [02:29]
mircea_popescu eh get out [02:29]
mircea_popescu i gotta make this guy sign an nda. [02:29]
mircea_popescu pankkake : did you read the "At the end of this procedure, the working slate will have been re-formatted, and will appear empty - as Cardano no longer possesses the old block-cipher key." part ? [02:31]
asciilifeform without saying much more, the quick answer is: if some part of the draft spec seems illogical / bizzare / 'couldn't physically wurk', the answer is generally 'the obvious fix.' [02:31]
pankkake no. I TL;DRed it. but that was no reason to say that my concern was invalid - it was valid, and actually taken care of [02:31]

nubbins` after an admittedly short search, i wasn't able to find a whole lot of technical info on the theory behind colored coins, but i found this odd snippet in a paper: [05:13]
mircea_popescu hm [05:13]
Vexual im joking people, hes moving to tokyo [05:14]
nubbins` "A valid Bitcoin transaction which does not follow the special colored format, will be recognized by the Bitcoin network, but not as a legitimate color-preserving transaction by the colored coin network. The color of these coins will be lost, and hence users and software clients need to be careful to avoid doing this and losing their value." [05:14]
Vexual cat is true [05:14]
nubbins` but why the fuck would you design it in such a way that the "color of the coins" (i.e. your shares in company x or whatever) could ever be lost? [05:14]
nubbins` it boggles me [05:14]
Vexual otherwise its racist? [05:14]
Vexual couloured coins isn't even a thing [05:15]
nubbins` that's it [05:15]
nubbins` it's because shit like i pasted doesn't make sense [05:15]
nubbins` and things that don't make sense don't get implemented [05:15]
pankkake why even use the bitcoin blockchain? [05:15]
nubbins` hash power! [05:16]
pankkake merged mining! [05:16]
nubbins` separate blockchain would be vulnerable to 51% attacks [05:16]
pankkake well, ok, you have to add incentives to merge mine it [05:16]
nubbins` but let's say i own 100 shares in company x [05:16]
Vexual le nuage [05:16]
nubbins` why can't i just send pankkake a dust transaction with "xfer 100 S.GEM" in the note field? [05:17]
mircea_popescu nubbins` because idiots. [05:17]
mircea_popescu see also [05:17]
mircea_popescu ;;google why i nixed [05:17]
nubbins` i mean, if the idea behind colored coins is that you have to make this huge tree of transactions that have some sort of magic dust in them [05:17]
gribble nixed - definition of nixed by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus ...: ; Why I nixed p2p, colored coins and all that jazz pe Trilema - Un blog ...: ; Why I Nixed the Knicks | The New York Observer: [05:17]
nubbins` why not tie the shares to the address, not to any particular coins? [05:17]
nubbins` i send a dust tx to address 1abc, with note "xfer 100 s.gem", so address 1abc is assumed to always possess those 100 shares, permanently [05:18]
nubbins` no losing them [05:18]
nubbins` until they send a dust tx to someone else saying xfer 50 s.gem or whatever [05:18]
pankkake from what I understand, colored coins aren't much better than asicminer-style direct shares [05:19]
nubbins` tying assets to individual coins and not addresses doesn't make any sense [05:19]
nubbins` the only thing direct shares need is a way to post bids and asks [05:19]
nubbins` without relying on a website [05:19]

mircea_popescu which reduces to a slightly braindamaged reimplementation of mpex. [05:25]
nubbins` mpex servers melt tomorrow, no trading; i can still send a dust tx to transfer my colored address shares [05:26]

nubbins` Vexual: don't we all? [05:27]
Vexual few do [05:27]
mircea_popescu nubbins` you can, but you have an escrow problem each time you do. [05:27]
nubbins` escrow is a problem? [05:28]
mircea_popescu yes, escrow is a problem. [05:28]
nubbins` multi-sig transactions [05:29]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 58 @ 0.009 = 0.522 BTC [+] [05:29]
mircea_popescu multi-sig txs are not a solution to the escrow problem really. [05:30]
Vexual og blockchain is the gold standard, accept no substitutes [05:30]
mircea_popescu they;'re a useful tool in some contexts, but you still need to have an escrow agent [05:30]
mircea_popescu if that agent melts down... no transactions. [05:30]
mircea_popescu which brings you back to exactly where we started. [05:30]
Vexual whats the point? [05:31]
nubbins` if the transacting parties agree, there's no need for the escrow agent at all, but you're correct in that the system would hinge on having a supply of readily-available escrow agents [05:31]
mircea_popescu yeah. [05:31]

mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves the relevant bit there is, after the third time bitcoinica was raped, the "bitcoin consultancy" group of dorks self proclaimed into importance & relevance decided to shut it down. [17:21]
mircea_popescu after which one of them, the fabled amir taaki, stole the code and published it [17:21]

ThickAsThieves your points are mostly technical, involving the blockchain as being impractical [17:31]

mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves no, im done with the "free market of retards" concept. anyway, re the colored coins : [17:32]
mircea_popescu the blockchain is fundamentally a solution to the bizantine problem [17:33]
mircea_popescu that problem exists like gravity exists. if you have it you gotta solve it. which is why the article focuses on the blockchain : if you're doing distributed anything, you have the bizantine poblem. [17:33]
ThickAsThieves admittedly, it doesnt seem to be the colored coin style developers making wild claims, but the people flocking to these ideas [17:34]
ThickAsThieves what i mean is [17:34]
ThickAsThieves people see exchanges closing [17:34]
ThickAsThieves and that decentralized things are now a solution [17:34]

ThickAsThieves while the cheerleaders are searching for a replacement for exchanges [17:36]
pankkake colored coins do not provide a solution for decentralized *trades* [17:36]
mircea_popescu so you envisage a distributed replacement that's NOT at the same time an accountable ledger ? [17:36]
ThickAsThieves no [17:36]

samson_ If shares were issued on their own blockchain and could be freely moved between the various available trading sites / 'share wallets' there would be no real difference in trading a share to trading an altcoin. Something like this would provide no decentralised exchange but it provides a way to hold and move shares independently of any trading platform. Just like Bitcoin. [19:03]

jborkl and do not sat the commnity, because a group of retards approving something is still a group of retards making a decision [19:07]
samson_ If anyone can create a security then I don't see the big deal. The approval process would happen automatically if people started trading them for Bitcoin. Take these new alt currencies which appear to be created daily - they're not all traded on exchanges hence they're not 'approved'. They still exist but that is irrelevant. [19:11]

samson_ It would be nice if we could withdraw shares from an exchange just like a coin. [19:31]
ThickAsThieves why [19:32]
samson_ It would end reliance on 'the exchange' so when it closes down they could be traded elsewhere. [19:32]
ThickAsThieves you rely on the issuer [19:32]
ThickAsThieves not the exchange [19:32]
ThickAsThieves the exchange is a platform [19:32]
ThickAsThieves just because you can "withdraw" your share, doesnt mean it will have usefulness in the same ways [19:33]

ThickAsThieves professional service providers are useful [19:36]

samson_ I think it would be an evolution on current uses of blockchains without going down the whole coloured coins route [19:37]

jborkl With respect to the capacitors, an investigation has been undertaken with Anotherhost.se, as they have suffered the issue with all their boards. [20:16]
jborkl KNC says all the caps blowing is due to the corsair ps [20:16]
mircea_popescu all ?! [20:16]
mircea_popescu wait a second. ALL ?! [20:17]
jborkl that is what it says [20:17]
jborkl It appears that a reasonable solution has been reached in that all the boards this has occurred to seem to have been used alongside the exact same PSU; The Corsair HX850.+ [20:17]
mircea_popescu dude it's not the power get out. [20:18]
jborkl Basically there is an issue with excessive current being applied, after the PU cuts out and the device is turned back on, causing the cap to pop. [20:18]
mircea_popescu if all the boards burn its not the capacitors, it's not the power, it's the board. [20:18]
jborkl I know, that is a bad diagnosis- it is just wrong [20:18]
kakobrekla hum [20:19]
kakobrekla but caps exploded / went on fire [20:19]
jborkl A better guess- they are drawing too much off the ps- it cuts off to protect itself and the caps pop [20:19]
kakobrekla not just poped [20:19]
kakobrekla one can overload cap for a short while [20:19]
kakobrekla that seems to me like something that happens while under load for some time [20:20]
jborkl it has been reported minutes after plugin [20:20]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla the current theory i'm crediting is that the boards have bad metal masks in a spot, and it slowly melts the insulation [20:20]
mircea_popescu after which it shorts. [20:20]
kakobrekla well minutes in an eternity for electricity [20:20]

asciilifeform alternative: solder bridge (short) under the smt ceramic cap. [20:24]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform nah because burned boards w/o such bridge were seen [20:24]
jborkl EDIT: I should add that KnC are using Corsair V850s themselves, and haven't had an issue with any of them. That said apparently they almost supplied their entire hosting with the HX, but due to the HX being out of stock for the volume required, they bought the V850. Which in hindsight is a wonderful thing. [20:24]
jborkl I just saw that [20:24]
asciilifeform bridge (accidental short, glob of solder where it doesn't belong) would vaporize in this case [20:25]
jborkl so, the entire hosting is being blamed on Corsair [20:26]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform vaporize is perhaps an overtstatement. [20:26]
