Is any one using the IRC. i only seee the channel bot sitting there alone.
People start using it, Its better and a good way to connect with people.

The utah center is a mostly a data storage and analysis facility, that means they are using alot of servers generating alot of heat . In that hot climate the NSA data center is inviting a huge power bill for cooling, and a accident in the making if one of the cooling unites starts to fail. and any ways the NSA facility did have some huge explosion because of wrong power systems being used. It still makes verry little sense on why they would open a facility there.
Regarding tapping the oceanic Fiber line those were being tapped ever since the cold war using Nuclear subs. At the moment THE US and China is the two major powers that have tapped and control the underseas fiber line.

Yes its working on Chromium.

Why wait for quantum computing.? Have you seen the NSA datacenter in Utah, USA.? Have a look.. google it.. they have so much of abundant computing power that rumors are that they have broken SSL and VPN (client certificate authentication like Openvpn) encryption. Am not sure if they have been successful in breaking AES 256 and probably not SHA256 though. If they had, then probably they would have brought down bitcoin network instead of going behind SR. Source : http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/06/us/nsa-foils-much-internet-encryption.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&That might already have it . who knows. But the Data Center in Utah, is some thing only an idiot would build. who builds a data center in a middle of a freaking desert and spend so much on cooling. they would have been better off building that center in Alaska. oh the SHA256 is a hash function so it is reversible. AES yes NSA must have broken it a long time ago. with NSA its a simple rule if you cant break it then get a backdoor installed in it.

Any foreseeable damage that may be caused to sha256/ Bitcoin before the cipher can be changed? And any idea if quantum-crypto can be used for Bitcoin instead of sha?
Well regarding SHA256, i dont think that is going to be any damage to bitcoin, and the need to change is not nessary, if Bitcoin is allowed to progress with its difficulty level in proportionate to tech advancement, and mass adoption. The difficulty level rise, would adjust for the rapid change in new technology, and not need for a change in cipher. Regarding your second question. NO. (my personal opinion). It would rather be a fork of a new currency that would only be using Quantum cryptography and this would only be compatible with Quantum computers. so all the mechanics need to have the Qchip. as for the use of bitcoin to integrate with Quantum computing that is a possibility, so bitcoins can be backward compatible. but all these things are a far in the future, it may be possible that Bitcoin may die out before Quantum computing can even be a viable consumer product. On a side note before quantum computing comes in i believe the new Nanotube chips will be the next evolution as it has been fabricated into a 9nm chips. its only a mater of time that these carbon nano tube chips becomes standard in all hardware.

As soon as Quantum computing becomes cheap enough all hell is going to break loose when it comes to public key cryptography.
I've heard people say this before, but can't we just add more encryption bits? True, 256-bit, 512-bit is too low. What about a million bit encryption? Quantum computing will only be a problem if just a few people have these computers. If they are mainstream then there is a level playing field once again. it is not question of adding bits, but question of practicality. you can encrypt your message 100s of times with diff ciphers, each time use different password not less then 90 characters and your message will be "Hello John !!" Well there have been works on quantum cryptography using single photons that would greatly increase the probability level, and the establishment of the Standard model and the proof of the Higgs Boson may play a big part in the creation of a practical cryptography system that can be used in the future once Public key cryptography and block ciphers becomes obsolete .

Yeh ! what you say would work, but the problem is that for such computing power to reach the masses, will take a long time. an estimated point would be some where around 30 years. Till that time the government or companies that have the most money, would be the ones able to afford it. We already know that google has just got their first Quantum computer. If google can get it then there is nothing stopping Big government getting it. Even if we say the governments will take another 5 years to acquire a quantum computer, that still leaves a huge gap of about 10-15 years that government/companies can use their Qcomputers effectively.

We have a social networking site coming up with Chat and IM features. Shoot me or Benson a PM for Invite.
Thanks,
Sub has been invited. I do like the IRC idea as well for sure. More the exposure and discussions, the better. Integration of IRC and abitsocial chat? ? That could be a good shot in the arm for it. yeh that can be done there are a lot of web based IRC clients that can be added to the site .

Thanks,
IRC is an open channel. i would say its better. i can use a chat software connect to this channel and other channel i usually work on. Its convenient.. I'm old school :-) Good for you mate.. Been there done that.! :-p Long long ago, i used to be a Mod on #India on MIRC and Operator of #Bangalore and #Mysore. O wow Cool ,i think we may know each other i was an OPs on DALnet and a few other networks #india channel about 15 years back. Those were the good times .

Hey every one. So is decided to start a IRC channel for Bitcoin in India. so this channel will be dedicated to Indian users, every thing bitcoin related. I will be adding a bot soon for maintenance of the channel, as soon as a free up one of my shell account. Feel free to uses it and connect better with every one. The Channel is hosted on Freenode chat.freenode.net 6697 Channel name - #taproom https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/#taproomOr just use the webchat. https://webchat.freenode.net/.

if you have strong PGP keys non of your correspondents will be able to use them. People who on MAC and Windows PGP (GPG) frontends will not be able to use any good public key. So, what you going to do? You are going to give them weak key.
for now PGP with good key too costly to break, also 3DES still OK with long pass.
voting for AES was influenced toward Rijandel so use of AES256 maybe not a good idea.
Well the problem with the block ciphers Like Rijandel and AES, is that the key exchange becomes a problem when it comes to two way communication. Yeh, you can use Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol, but that's just adding an extra layer. ECC is a better option for now. But then again all this is only valid for the next 20-25 years. As soon as Quantum computing becomes cheap enough all hell is going to break loose when it comes to public key cryptography. We already have carbon nano tubes shrinking processor chips down. Moore's law is still alive and kicking.

It is just an accounting error.....I have designed 50 mgs,100,200,300,400& 500 milligrams GOLDCARDS Costing Rs.144/- for a 50 mg card; For details go to www.milligold.orgThis looks like a spam. DONT DO IT AGAIN !!! Go to the Marketplace announce you new business there. add you business on your signature, not on the posts.

Yeh if you are willing to wait Gox does pay out .

At the moment there are no active exchange markets catering to the INR. however there are alot of individual Exchanges Find them on the marketplace of this forum. for Ripple just post your requirement on the marketplace. Use an Escrow.

Very nice. Will eventually do a French translation for my website and not forget to give you original credit.
Thanks , would love to see that ,

Ok, Section 4 - Asymmetrical Cryptosystem. Updated, will add some more later in the day today .
Any one who has any suggestion please do put it in, will try to add them too :-)
