You got that right.

Sorry lol

Actually he still active around the forum??

“Pulling a mindrust” now officially also means proclaiming to the world to have ignore-listed me “forever”.  He is way ahead of strawbs, et al.!

Folks, if you decide to pull a mindrust, just make sure to dump all of your coins to me before putting me on ignore forever:-)

<snip>

By the way, I am not “in Monero”.  I am a Bitcoiner and a lifelong privacy fanatic, who sometimes uses both Monero and Zcash.  FYI.  I am on this thread just because I hate stupidity.

<snip>

I know investing can be difficult for some people, they invest more than they are willing to lose and can become emotionally involved in the projects they back. Maybe you should consider analyzing your position, frankly and without emotion, and move on.

You meritless idiot, with your asinine assumptions and corrupt insinuations.

It is none of your business, but for the record:  At this particular moment, I have exactly 0.00000000 XMR.  I don’t even know what the XMR market price is right now—nor do I care.  I usually have more ZEC than I have XMR, and I have had rude comments made to me about that by some few less-intelligent members of the Monero community.  Anyway, what I HoDL is Bitcoin—which is doing quite well, in case you did not notice.  “There is only one Bitcoin,” as I have stated in either my signature or my personal text since I was at Newbie rank on this forum.

My post offered significant technical arguments.  Your reply suggests that you are only here to shill for your preferred shitcoin, and you are projecting your own greedy mindset onto others.

Do you have any substantive, intelligent reply?  Or do you need for me to ask you to translate “хитровыебанный” and apply it to yourself?

P.S., newbie protip:  As a matter of forum etiquette, please trim your quotes so as to provide adequate context, whilst focusing on the portion to which you replied.  (Since you did not reply to anything that I said, that may not apply here.)

I suppose that I should have searched before posting the below in the Wall Observer.  It has a few little tidbits of significant data not yet posted in this thread.

So—there is no merit source application thread for this Faketoshi shill, who has rained merit on the “Bitcoin SV” (allegedly korner) account?  The Vlad2Vlad source application is what I searched for, when I found this thread.

Dear Wise Wall:  How the fuck did this clown get merit source status?

5. What do you think of the current Merit system and signature campaigns?  Do they harm the forum?
Merit system is great.  Post good content and you get merit.  Before every clown posting all day became a legendary.  Sorry, that’s special place for special people, such as myself.  In fact we have too many legendarios now, we need one more level of separation.  Soon.

Liar.  As of this writing, you have a total of 339 earned merits.  You should be stuck at Sr. Member rank.  You are a fake “Legendary”.

You are correct that there should be a separation between idiots who spent years actively shitposting before the introduction of the merit system, and special people such as myself.  (All of my merit is earned, yes; and it took me less than 310 total days of actually active posting with the merit system to sail past 2000 earned merits.)

Now, somehow, you must have obtained merit source status.  According to BPIP, you have sent 3464 merits (!)—including 16+24+3+7+7+7+1+7+7 = 79 merits that you have sent to the “Bitcoin SV” account, which is alleged actually to be a korner alt.  That would be 46.6% of your earned sMerit—if you had neither cheap “Legendary” grandfathered merit, nor the source merits that absolutely should not have made available to you.

You people don’t deserve me,

Why do I suspect that you may be my secret fan, and you may be stealing from me?  Roll Eyes

Preferably before btc hits $50k+ then pulls a titanic with all the rats onboard.

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
Days after I found out about btc even tho i thought it was gonna die.  Used all my BTC to buy the real coins that will survive and moon after the crypto apocalypse most likely late next year.  

[...]

14. How much will Bitcoin cost at the end of 2020?
End of 2020 we should see minimum $20-$21k which will get the media FOMO machine pumping it to $50k+ soon after.  Start dumping soon after that cause super bad Attacks and crashing Will be imminent.

I never liked following the herd.  BTC gonna get rekt this year so you better dump on the next big run this summer.  CSW will turn up on top so maybe take off the haters glasses and look at his factual work.



Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of any evidence as to whether or not the account has always been under control of the same individual?  It seems to have suffered lost password problems unusually often, all starting after the introduction of the merit system.  FWIW—I do NOT like the forum culture of rampant speculation about this kind of thing; but this is sufficiently odd to warrant a closer look.

If it is not evidence of something fishy with the account, then it nonetheless is evidence that he’s an idiot.  (But we already know that, with conclusive proofs.)

666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Monero "BADCACA" - XMR Tracking Project? No, just dumb FUD. on: November 13, 2020, 05:55:37 AM
Dandelion++, its strengths, and its limitations are of interest not only to Monero users.  For I am surely not the only one who wishes to see Dandelion++ implemented in Bitcoin Core, if it can be done without opening mempool DOS vectors.  (This was the reason for the rejection of BIP 156 for the inferior Dandelion; IIUC, the worst DOS concerns involve interactions between Dandelion (or Dandelion++) and Bitcoin features that don’t exist in Monero.)

This is primarily a technical post; but first things first...

Monero lost its reputation a very long time ago. Just imagine people having your IP addresses along with which sites you visited or where specifically you purchased something is quite frightening for those that thought they were dealing with a privacy based coin. I checked the link (https://monero-badcaca.net/) it does not look good for Monero as a privacy coin and it does not look good for those 100 user details that will be published daily  Shocked

I'm posting the daily report in Monero topic until they start moderating it.

Hey, JollyGood, you have a reputation for fighting spam and forum abuse.  What do you think of badcaca’s overt bragging that he wants to use abusive tactics instead of technical arguments?



I need not remark on the security ignorance and technical ineptitude of the forum’s Timothy Leary.  Roll Eyes



But for all we know there are whistleblowers buying VPNs or domains, and you're putting out IP address data which could be used in combination with other methods to identify those people.

This argument can be very easily turned around. For people like that, isn't it better to know they have been exposed? Monero is perfectly happy for them to be tracked by Ciphertrace while reassuring them that all is fine.

Oh, spare us your liar’s false pretense of concern for the privacy of users!

If you actually gave a damn about that, then you would disclose in detail what you claim to be doing so that (a) others could evaluate it on its technical merits, and (b) the alleged vulnerability (if any) could be fixed so as to protect privacy.

Of course, that would presume that you actually have a low-resource way to break Dandelion++.  (It does not even claim to protect against AS-level adversaries, let alone global adversaries.)  At this point, I am pretty sure that you have only bullshit—such as your incessantly repeated deliberate conflation of network-layer attacks against Dandelion++, and Ciphertrace’s (much more credible) claim to have developed probabilistic transaction clustering from blockchain analysis.  I do think that the Monero community should pay more heed to the latter; but those are completely different threat levels!



Interesting thanks for the clarification. I'm not particularly familiar with dandelion++. Does the original node broadcast the transaction to multiple nodes in the stem phase or just to one other node? What determines when the fluff phase occurs?

I suggest reading the paper.
Having read the actual Dandelion++ paper when it came out, I can safely call this ridiculous.

I already answered this—twice:

My first thought is, “Whose IP addresses are those supposed to be?  The originating nodes’?  Contra what it says in the badcaca FAQ, Dandelion++ would make it easy to mistake the IP address of the originating node.
It is exactly the type of technology which will make badcaca associate transactions with the wrong IP address.


I'll be the first to say it. BADCACA's data is not "just dumb FUD". I looked through the data and there's definitely some authentically traced transactions in there.

A stopped clock is right at “some” moments of the day.

Of course, if he lists a randomly selected peer IP that handled a transaction in the Dandelion++ stem phase, then that IP will sometimes be the actual originating peer.  That is the point of “random”.  “However, the protocol also ensures that the first relay node to broadcast is approximately uniformly selected among all relays that have received the message.”  See below.


You are confusing cause and effect here. Transaction sitting in node's mempool is caused by it being intercepted and then rebroadcast.
There is no such thing as a public mempool on a p2p network level. What you are seeing on the website is a snapshot of one node's mempool. The way dandelion++ works is that the transaction will be put into the original node's mempool, broadcast in stem phase, and if the node doesn't see it again, it will be broadcast in fluff phase. The "not seeing it again" part is the cause of the delay.

Based on a reasonable inference of what you seem to be suggesting that you are trying to do:  The Dandelion++ authors were way ahead of you.  That is an admittedly low standard, because you don’t know what the hell you are doing.  You are listing the IP addresses of random peers, exactly as I said!

§4.4 at p. 17 of the Dandelion++ paper speaks thusly:



If you claim to be defeating Dandelion++’s random timers, then please show your work with maths and stuff.  (LOL, as if.)


Transplanted from the Monero thread, with appropriate context restored to the internal quotation:
Among other things, AES is broken!!  Shocked

Do you think Vincent Rijmen exploded with anger when AES was broken? No, he congratulated the authors.

Say what!?  When was AES broken?  Roll Eyes

(Just a guess:  If you are talking about related-key cryptanalysis, then you are mentally retarded and you know nothing about cryptography.)

I dearly wish that Monero were exactly as “broken” as AES!

Yes it is, Monero community members have a tendency to spew uneducated bullshit. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-319-19962-7_3

You idiot, the biclique attack does not mean that AES is “broken”.  I guessed the related-key attack, because in some versions, that would have much lower time complexity (it just requires, um, related keys).

All that you need to do is to read the abstract of the paper that you cited.  You don’t even need to hop over to Sci-Hub and enter the DOI (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-19962-7_3) to read the full paper.  Just at least read the abstract!

Quote from: Tao B., Wu H. (2015) Improving the Biclique Cryptanalysis of AES.
Biclique attack is currently the only key-recovery attack on the full AES with a single key....  We have a biclique attack on each of the following AES versions:

  • AES-128 with time complexity 2126.13 and data complexity 256,
  • AES-128 with time complexity 2126.01 and data complexity 272,
  • AES-192 with time complexity 2189.91 and data complexity 248, and
  • AES-256 with time complexity 2254.27 and data complexity 240.

Our results have the best time complexities among all the existing key-recovery attacks with data less than the entire code book.

Yup:
I dearly wish that Monero were exactly as “broken” as AES!

Break in cryptography is anything faster than a brute force search; it doesn't matter that it takes down security from 2^128 to 2^126 (and is therefore only theoretical), it doesn't even matter if it is a known-plaintext key recovery attack. There is no need to call people names just because you don't know what you are talking about (like most people in Monero btw)

There is a need to call you a liar (in addition to an idiot), when you are using the classic dishonest debate tactic of switching back and forth between two different senses of the same word—in this case, different senses (by orders of magnitude) of a cryptanalytical “break”.

You claim to have broken Monero’s privacy in some significant, practical way.  Your website’s FAQ insinuates that this is comparable to how AES is “broken”.  For the third time:

I dearly wish that Monero were exactly as “broken” as AES!

By the way, I am not “in Monero”.  I am a Bitcoiner and a lifelong privacy fanatic, who sometimes uses both Monero and Zcash.  FYI.  I am on this thread just because I hate stupidity.


Note:  I have not reviewed the code of Monero’s Dandelion++ implementation.  But I am pretty sure that the people who wrote and reviewed that code would not have omitted the aforesaid random clocks, without which Dandelion++ would be trivial for any s’kiddie-tier retard to defeat.

the memorylessness of the exponential clocks

Or maybe they plan on spending it—using Bitcoin as money, thus driving adoption.  It is Bitcoin’s value proposition.

I usually ignore the markets.  In such a bull market as this, I can’t help but desiderate the coins that, in the past, I have spent just because Bitcoin is a pleasure to use compared to anything whatsoever related to the banking system.  To use Bitcoin is a taste of freedom!

}

...and it runs!

I will not explain it to people who obviously don’t code.

You know the fbi used posts from here for the "you can't catch me EvEr! Ulrich" case right?

Are you high?  I mean, right now.  On something that induces paranoid ideations.
Edit:  Retracted with a semi-apology, because what you said could be read two ways.  I may have misread it—maybe.  FYI, the infestation of the Internet with provocateurs (OP on that thread?) promoting “Four Horsemen of the Cryptocalypse” anti-Bitcoin propaganda is the reason why, at “Newbie” rank, I made sure to express my opinion of drugs unequivocally.

Because it is perfectly logical that an undercover cop would announce that he dislikes drugs. 🤔

Oh, and an undercover cop (—best of all, an agent provocateur—) would never want to encourage you to engage in illegal activities and brag them—as seen in that shitshow exchange of braggart drug stories a few days ago, which I’m sure was neatly archived by various police agencies.  (Don’t bother deleting your posts, idiots.)

Opsec protip #1:  If you engage in illegal activity, DO NOT TALK ABOUT ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.  (← Something that an undercover cop would be unlikely to say.)

Opsec protip #NULL:  Do not do illegal activity.  (← And avoid like plague anybody on the Internet who tries to chat you up about illegal activity; it reeks of agent provocateur bent on entrapment.)  I don’t do illegal things.  Not because I give a fuck about the law, but just because most illegal activities are anyway undesirable to me.  If drugs were perfectly legal, I wouldn’t do them.  In saner times, before the birth of modern drug laws and its twin, modern drug culture, drugs were freely available—and most people didn’t do them!


Mixing politics and religion is a bad idea, history has shown it and unfortunately it continues to do so

Are you completely illiterate?  (No, wait—don’t answer that.)  Who the fuck is advocating religion here?

I challenge you to back up your nonsense:  Show me even one post where I have ever supported the so-called “War on Drugs” in any way.

You know who loves the War on Drugs?  Murican answer, hereby apropos:

  • The CIA.  World-class dope dealers—plus, there’s that MKULTRA thing which you should probably look into...
  • The FBI.  More more bigger budgets!
  • The NSA.  It is a tailor-made excuse for mass-surveillance.
  • Your local police.  The War on Drugs means that they get snazzy tanks and military rifles.  Would life be any fun without SWAT teams?
  • The DEA.  Which would not exist without the “War on Drugs”.  DEA agents need jobs, too!  —By the way, geniuses, why the fuck do you suppose that the DEA closely supported the making of Breaking Bad, a television show that glorified drugs whilst pretending to moralize against them?  Check the credits, and read up on the making of the show; it is two-faced, fork-tongued DEA propaganda, from start to finish.
  • DARE.  As you yourself noted, Hueristic—

    —DARE brainwashes into the general habit of ratting out their parents—a habit which the State then exploits as generally applicable to all sorts of other things, too.
  • Drug culture addicts.  It gives them a rebellious way to stick it to The Man—right before The Man sticks it back to them harder!

A rule of practical politics in the modern world:  The ever-expanding State loves to promote the exact problems that it pretends to solve.

Whereas Hueristic, et al., you seem to be against my freedom to think for myself.  I sincerely think that drugs are bad.  I have good reasons for that.  I will not pretend otherwise, and I will not shut up.  I do not follow any herd—also not your herd.  Fuck peer pressure:  I am peerless.

* nullius is nobody’s peer.

Your freedom to ruin yourself as you please does not impose on me a positive duty to condone it.

I have seen those that scream the loudest about their freedom work the hardest to curb others freedoms.


My personal political manifesto:
Mine is the anarchy of the few...  It is the anarchy of those who love order, and impose order first on themselves:  They who live by honour and not law.  They must become laws unto themselves.

Don’t reject authority:  Be your own authority.

Or:  Escaping the tyranny of the State by rejecting all authority, and even common sense, is like escaping the tyranny of the banks by rejecting all money, and even all economic activity.  Be your own bank.

Your conclusions are implicit, but implicit conclusion must be tested to show validity. You don't test, you just keep implicating to seek "proof".

Quote from: Nietzsche, Also sprach Zarathustra, “Vom Lesen und Schreiben”.
Wer in Blut und Sprüchen schreibt, der will nicht gelesen, sondern auswendig gelernt werden.


On the top, you call me arrogant (which i really was, until about a decade ago), just to be arrogant yourself.
Grössenwahn? Consider that.

Quote from: Nietzsche, Also sprach Zarathustra, “Vom Lesen und Schreiben”.
Ihr seht nach Oben, wenn ihr nach Erhebung verlangt.  Und ich sehe hinab, weil ich erhoben bin.


I won't continue this. Enjoy your game without me now.

Thanks.  Have a nice trip!

he’s a nihilist he believes in nothing

Either you have never read any of my posts, which I may prefer, or you do not know what a “nihilist” is.

Protip:  The folks who desire a lifestyle of “hookers, Lambos, and blow” are indistinguishable from nihilists.  Drug addicts are the worst of applied practical nihilists.

Just in case I have not repeated it sufficiently of late, this is the most passionate possible condemnation of nihilism:

Dear Talking Monkeys:

Please get it through your thick primate skulls that you are alone in the universe, you are all going to die, there is no life beyond this world, and nothing whatsoever will remain of you if you do not safeguard your posterity.


This is war.  My enemy:  Nothing forever!  Never!

Gautama expressed an essentially atheistic philosophy, eerily similar to Schopenhauer’s World as Will.  His Nirvana had the same objective as Schopenhauer’s Renunciation.  All of the Buddhist religious mysticism was piled on later, after the historical Gautama.  Such a thing could conceivably also happen over the course of future centuries to Schopenhauer and his quasi-mystical palingenesis of the Will, which can only be escaped by renouncing all desires and attaining the state of Nirvana, i.e. nonexistence.  (Sanskrit nirvāṇa = ‘extinguished’, literally ‘blown out’ in the sense of a candle.)

Obligatory at this juncture:
Quote from: Nietzsche (The Antichrist, Aphorism 42)
For this remains [] the essential difference between the two religions of decadence:  Buddhism promises nothing, but actually fulfills; Christianity promises everything, but fulfills nothing.

Parenthetically, I must remark that Gautama and Schopenhauer are correct:  Life inevitably has more suffering than joy.  People with an inner vitality must fight every day for a few precious joys amidst many sorrows.  Decadent people tire of this, and thus seek escape.  The desired escape can be rational and realistic as Gautama and Schopenhauer, or an irrational escapist fantasy, such as the Christian heaven or the transhumanist Singularity.

...

Nullius, i went through your post several times, but i could not extract any sense out of it

It was not addressed to you.  It is good that you managed to read it, however—even if you did not understand it.  Most people never get that far.

Our respective worldviews are fundamentally irreconcilable, as explained simply and seriously below.  But first...

<snip>

Speaking of arrogance:

Formatting is in the original:
So what's the fucking fuzz all about?

If everything i did was hurting you in your pride (aka. EGO), i feel sorry for that. So please forgive me (again, iirc)!
If you can't, i won't make it my problem, cause it's yours. Thanks  Grin

Whatever gave you the idea that you hurt my pride?

Of a sudden, I lack words.  I need to borrow this image:



I have to leave, spend the rest of the day trying to FEEL more than THINKING. Never did any harm to me.

As aforesaid, our respective Weltanschauungen are fundamentally irreconcilable.  To you, I may as well be an alien from some planet in the neighbourhood of Alpha Centauri.  I can see now that you will not be able to understand me.  (I can say this, because I understand you.)

Your worldview is subjective almost to the point of solipsism—actually, it is a thinly-veiled solipsism:

But how can you PROVE that what you think is REAL? (-EDIT- or: valid for everybody)
See, you can't, even if you try as hard AF.
Because it's only your individual reality.
To go on: You are believing your reality.

There is nothing wrong with subjectivity, per se.  (Indeed, all morality is subjective.)  However, you outright deny the existence of an external reality—you deny reality per se.

I do not say this to be snarky:  This is why LSD and shrooms are bad.

My worldview is premised on the existence of a reality independent of myself—independent of my ego—which can be examined by observational and otherwise scientific means, objectively and dispassionatelythinking, NOT feeling.

If you feel that that’s wrong, then I can’t help you.

trying to FEEL more than THINKING



In my infinite, almost saintly patience, I wrote the foregoing before I saw this—one for the “why do I bother?” department:


I replied to him through my ego, i was well aware of that, not even upset in any way, other than the caps and bolds did make it seem.
I was just curious if he'd even make an attempt (to prove to be able to) see through a different angle.
A seemingly brilliant mind, but also another lost soul, imo.

So here's my honest, unjudging reply:  [blank]

First of all, I may remind you that you are taking advice from one whose basic reading comprehension is so abysmal, he once accused me of a “feminist tangent” for my proposal that women should be banned from pubs in most circumstances (!), because women belong with their children (!!).

* nullius is one hell of a “feminist”.

And zeroth of all, nice attempt to save face after an unhinged rant in giant letters.  Sure, your feelings weren’t hurt.  Have a cookie.

I need not remark on the irony of one so wrapped up in his own worldview that he fails to realize, I see his world better than he does.

Anyway, I like this better than a Golden Feather:  A Golden Apple cast before Venus Victrix, instead of pearls cast before swine. ;-)


Blame infofront if Troy inadvertently gets rekt shorting Bitcoin at high leverage.  Fnord.


 too bad these wordy-man posts take time...

Oh?

You cannot just throw down walls of text within a matter of a wee-few minutes?  Shocked Shocked  

Must be a lot more taxing to rise to wordy-man wannabe status than many mere mortal normies would conjecture?

TLDR:
Sometimes sucks carrying out requisites of an actual rather than a wannabe wordy-man.

This graphic seems a bit ill-fated; but being not the superstitious type, I think that I will nonetheless borrow it (#nohomo):

Speaking of ill-fated, yup, Jay tried to warn me—the post concludes with an exchange on mindrust.
680  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - NOT b0rken by monero_badcaca ::) on: November 12, 2020, 09:28:02 AM
PSA:  Do not reply to monero_badcaca’s admittedly abusive spamming of lengthy nonsense lists here.  Just report them, as I already did before I saw this on his thread:

Full, unedited quote for reference:
Monero lost its reputation a very long time ago. Just imagine people having your IP addresses along with which sites you visited or where specifically you purchased something is quite frightening for those that thought they were dealing with a privacy based coin. I checked the link (https://monero-badcaca.net/) it does not look good for Monero as a privacy coin and it does not look good for those 100 user details that will be published daily  Shocked

I'm posting the daily report in Monero topic until they start moderating it.

I also observe that he is multi-posting.  (And if he keeps up this arrant nonsense, I will start reporting it as a troll instead of replying.)


Among other things, AES is broken!!  Shocked

Yes it is, Monero community members have a tendency to spew uneducated bullshit. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-319-19962-7_3

The real reason why I decided to apply a double-barrelled shotgun to an ant is that (a) the monero_badcaca OP received a merit from a security-ignorant, technically inept admitted hallucinogenic drug user who, alas, is a DT with an unaccountably high reputation;

I hope those defamatory remarks made you feel better, because they didn't make the IP leak go away.

You idiot, the biclique attack does not mean that AES is “broken”.  I guessed the related-key attack, because in some versions, that would have much lower time complexity (it just requires, um, related keys).

All that you need to do is to read the abstract of the paper that you cited.  You don’t even need to hop over to Sci-Hub and enter the DOI (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-19962-7_3) to read the full paper.  Just at least read the abstract!

Quote from: Tao B., Wu H. (2015) Improving the Biclique Cryptanalysis of AES.
Biclique attack is currently the only key-recovery attack on the full AES with a single key....  We have a biclique attack on each of the following AES versions:

  • AES-128 with time complexity 2126.13 and data complexity 256,
  • AES-128 with time complexity 2126.01 and data complexity 272,
  • AES-192 with time complexity 2189.91 and data complexity 248, and
  • AES-256 with time complexity 2254.27 and data complexity 240.

Our results have the best time complexities among all the existing key-recovery attacks with data less than the entire code book.

Yup:
I dearly wish that Monero were exactly as “broken” as AES!
