That’s right. Nothing stopping you having both though.

It's not intuitive because there's really no need for it.

People are still obviously using 1024 bit RSA keys which are more of a problem.

I haven't built the new version, but I assume it defaults to ed25519 now. You can otherwise make one with ssh-keygen -t ed25519.

Just for fun, most users on Github have RSA keys exclusively. Did you know that your SSH keys are public on Github? https://github.com/taylorotwell.keys https://github.com/alexcrichton.keys https:/&

Why?

by RL_Quine 7y ago
No no, this one is not an ICO, it's a privately funded currency that was given away for free to anyone who had a popular account on Github!

I can’t work out if this is satire or not.

I'm very aware of bcoin. https://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/bcoin Many steps of indirection away we find things like this include. https://github.com/juliangruber/isarray/blob&#x2

I have deep respect for you disclosing issues in a processor you're using in your own product.

You can't say that a C daemon interacting with a network has no attack surface, especially as the thing runs as root. It promiscuously makes outgoing TCP connections to an unauthenticated P2P network, so given enough time you'll e

That's just an immediate non-starter then. Nobody is following all of these esoteric systems in the case that one of them gains marketshare, it guarantees that people will be phished and defrauded as soon as they use it. We had this is

They've somehow managed to make the two least optimal choices of language possible. The full node daemon, hsd, is written in Javascript. A non type safe language with poor package management for consensus critical code.

Nice astroturfing.

I wonder if it's one of the chips that has a bootloader vulnerability. All of the trustzone stuff was completely broken on their original, and nobody ever implemented working code for it anyway. The BOM cost is probably pretty high bec

No, yours relies on social proof (the post being public somewhere) as the timestamp. Nothing about what you described is different from just posting a hash of the prediction beforehand.
527.
by RL_Quine 7y ago
So the Air Force got scammed.
528.
by RL_Quine 7y ago
The idea is to replace social proof (that the timestamps are correct wherever it is published) with cryptographic proof, but I commented below on some of the pitfalls of doing so.
529.
by RL_Quine 7y ago
Timestamp proofs are interesting but a little hard to find a solid use for in that context. Most people are very happy trusting a post on a mailing list, or even the standard at this point for security researchers is a hash of your disclosu

It's not really that applicable there either. NameCoin attempted this in 2010 and ran into some serious engineering issues with non-obvious outcomes. It's not reasonable for every device to store the multi gigabyte UTXO, so delega

Most of the positions advertised have some amusing attributes if you read the description. We want someone with a PHD in cryptography that knows ReactJS. Yes I'm serious.

There is literally zero application or real world usage for "blockchain" outside of currency. Anybody claiming otherwise is a deceiving you, or being deceived themselves. There's this thing where there's swathes of peopl

There’s literally an interface for this.

by RL_Quine 7y ago
Tell that to Pulse Audio.

by RL_Quine 7y ago
Just because people are adding it to things doesn’t mean it’s any good. Most distros pipe all of their audio over TCP for absolutely no good reason too, also at the hands of Pottering.

A USB drive can be small enough to fit inside a USB connector, barely larger than a MicroSD card. Unless you mandate cavity searches for your employees you're not stopping egress of data like that.
537.
by RL_Quine 7y ago
USB-C is not 4 wires.
538.
by RL_Quine 7y ago
Nope. Even USB cables now have active electronics and a microprocessor in them.

What’s your phone number? If it’s public you don’t mind sharing it. My address book is filled with people who would be very sad if that were made public.

Yes. There's a good reason for running it in a container.
