281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Re-usable "Green" addresses carry extra risk: theft vulnerability on: November 16, 2013, 03:53:05 AM
In Statistical Mechanics (physics), we have something called The Law of *really* Large Numbers.  This law basically says that if X is a normal number (like 2 or 44 or 193) and Z is a *really* large number, then we can approximate their product as X*Z = Z.

2^256 is not as big as the really large numbers in stat mech, but the rule still basically applies to bitcoin: the probability of brute forcing *any* private key that actually contains funds is essentially unchanged regardless of how many addresses get created or how many times those addresses sign transactions: nil.

Just to clarify, this vulnerability does not involve computing private keys corresponding to a re-used public key, it is purely the synthesizing of valid signatures for an individual public key.
In theory it should be just as hard as calculating the private key. Or the digital signature algorithm is seriously flawed...

Gigabyte 990FX-UD7 is better. Full-size slots = more hashing power.

And yes too late! Maybe Intel will come up with Bitcoin mining CPU? Cheesy

who's to say that? why does he have to act like an internet tough guy? crazy girls are capable of doing crazy shit, and the same goes for men.
He does not need to be tough guy. Average women are harmless to average men like hose cat is harmless to men. All they can do is annoy and scratch and damage property.

you asking him "what is there to be afraid of in a woman/girl?" .. kinda implies "yeah, girls are weak.. no need for fear."

if a girl is threatening to kill him, incessantly at that, then she's not your "average woman/girl." there are tons of crazy, neurotic people living in this world.. i don't question that at all.
If she is crazy then it does not matter how weak or strong she is. It is whole different thing if you are threatened to be killed by Russian mob member. No obsessed women compares to those guys from ex-USSR/CIS states. GTA4 characters are made after them. I once got into trouble with them after double-crossing them and I'm still alive and well. And the same for the mobster. Tell me how funny to me is this thread when guy is afraid from women texting and sending paypals?

That Secret Tranny-Pacific Agreement is total crap that should not even exist. But the same rules on country TLD's already exist on national levels so the Secret Tranny is irrelevant as de-facto it changes nothing. NMC and .onion is unaffected.

Seriously You are afraid of girl/women? Yes it could be annoying, especially if yo are over 18+ years old and getting stalked by 12 year old girl. But it is not dangerous. Turn off cellphone over night for better sleep and ignore the death threats. But keep your gun loaded with you at all times.

Government issued currency including dollar is not going away in foreseeable future. Just like paper fiat complemented coins Bitcoin will complement coins and paper money. But Bitcoin is better and will force gold standard to return.

My answer - dollar is not going away anytime soon. Yes the economics can collapse and dollar can get devalued like ruble did but it still is a dollar.

It's like saying that password made from 35 random symbols are insecure because it is easier to brute force than password made from 37 random symbols. In reality I don't think i ever will become a practical security threat.

I am curious of what the proportion between male and female users is.  Huh Please vote whether you are male or female.  The results might be surprising.
They will be even more surprising if you add to poll two additional queerfag options: Other and None.

292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Questions about how-to bridge between Tor and Bitcoin on: November 16, 2013, 02:24:43 AM
I want to act as a kind of bridge between Tor network and IPv4 Bitcoin network. If I understand correctly it can improve network performance of Tor-only connected nodes. I read some wikis and what I got is that I need to make my bitcoin.conf look something like this:

Code:
proxy=127.0.0.1:9150
externalip=silkroadvb5p1z3r.onion
discover=1

P.S. The admins setting rules of forum are becoming total conformist shithead. Why linking to now defunct Silkroad address is banned? I included it in my sample as a example.

And why it is forbidden to write some combination of letters and numbers in first place? There was active Silk Road thread back in 2011. Continuing this course the Bitcoin itself would get banned form this forum by year 2016

294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Gov puts the Dollar and Bitcoin on the Silver Standard, 1 to 1? on: November 14, 2013, 03:48:22 AM
Then probably I will be able to purchase all bitcoins with 21M USD. This is never going to happen. ZOG will never put fixed price on papers, BTC and metals. If Bitcoin really is becomes a threat then they will do what they do always. Ban, make it illegal.

I found extremely simple authorization bypass to one of TOP10 websites on internet. It is so simple that I'm wondering how it was overlooked after all the trouble they put into preventing this kind of behavior. What should I do?
296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is DPR securing his wallets from the Feds? on: November 12, 2013, 11:04:10 PM
I'm more interested why FBI sent the coins in portions like 300 coins each time. They documented each transaction? Why not all at once?

Self-destruct is useless if it cannot prevent data copy in first place. Hard drives are not smartcards. Remember that and use really strong passwords that are unrealistic to break by brute force or wordlist guessing.

Well, the configurable boot loader allows you to attempt the self-destruct feature. Of course, it won't work against enemies that image your hard drives and work on the copies.

My version of TC has a work around. You boot into the decoy OS and if you don't do something, it will proceed to wipe the data on the hidden OS, and it really only needs to wipe a megabyte or two to get the job done.

It only works on the assumption that they do not image my hard drive.
DiskCryptor does no have option for self-destruct. It have additional options on wrong password like handling boot sequence to another bootloader or rebooting computer. More to do with manageability and configuration flexibility and not self-destruct.

Similar to how Prey works, and how most phones have a delete feature if wrong password or something.
Phones don't encrypt data or do it with backdoors. All it takes is to desolder memory chip and read the raw data from it. It will keep out meth addicts from your private data it but not police.

The best way to secure data, in my opinion, is physical destruction of the encrypted media. The best way I can tell to do that is to have a small thermite bomb on top of the hard drive that ignites and melts it when you hit a panic button. (If you can get to the panic button.)
Really good 25+ chars random password is the best. Physical destruction is not guaranteed to succeed and why damage perfectly fine device? My panic button is located behind trigger guard and below slide but I'm not relying on it for privacy of my data.
298  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Only 1 transaction in block #269107 on: November 12, 2013, 02:47:47 AM
Is it possible that this was the result of not broadcasting it until they mined a second block?
Second block must reference previous. If they did not broadcast previous block and somebody else solved the block, the withheld block would be orphan. I think it's a result of random chance instead of unwise actions.

Always been far-leftist on economics and far-right in other things. Bitcoin and this community made me more positive about libertarianism. Libertarianism is not for me but probably I found a solution to USA.
