binding needs more than a simple cat. You want to wrap them together somehow

Right, but how does one bind the keys if they do not mutually support encryption or signing

My point is that you need to roll your own cryptosystem, whereas PGP, for all its flaws, is a working, IND-CCA2 secure cryptosystem (provided you use the correct primitives). This whole blog is justification for removing PGP from Golang std

A problem I have run into with x25519 and ed25519 is that in Nacl, both use different public key 'formats'. While they are the same curve, you cannot use an x25519 for signing (ed25519 only) and you cannot use an ed25519 for encry

and the scope creep for the bad Online Identification begins. First it was no porn, then it was no dating. Soon it will be no rw to access to UK internet without age+ID. Disconnect the UK before the damage spreads!

Does it matter? What is important is that users are not getting their PC's ransomwared. If a desire to not look at ads also results in less ransomwared PCs, Win Win!

I need coffee, I don't need to pay for media. I want media, and I find it.

Hell no to cable TV. Hell yes to piracy.

Its almost like piracy is an important component in preserving the cultural legacy of humanity from IP vandals.

The technical challenge of getting something for free, without restriction, without digital restrictions management, able to be shared, in an archival form that will last decades is worth 100x the cost for whatever trash Big Media will sell

I typically buy at least 1 coffee a day for $7 at starbucks. Without this, I cannot function. I still cannot justify paying for any media. Certainly not $10+/month for Spotify or Netflix. Sorry. I don't care this seems inconsisten

It is my prerogative to decide which media files my browser consumes. It is my right to enforce security protections in my browser instance. All those that say 'good spotify is blocking the freeloaders' -- this is not the point. T

Stop using Google Spyware Browser. Google has abused its market position for a long time now, and we are seeing the impact. Forced browser logins, and now proposed deprecation of Ad Blocking API's are the two that bother me the most. T

How many companies are either Office 365 or GSuite? You get document storage and syncing as standard these days. You need a compelling reason to use Dropbox over GDrive/OneDrive.

Couple of points in response: Why would it disappear tomorrow -- it wont. Ill always run a full node. Many like me. This makes it valuable. Censorship resistance is not a marketing spin. Its absolutely true about bitcoin! There is no centra

Only storing the merkle tree is useful for SPV nodes. The actual full nodes need to store the full chain to verify blocks (or else you could double spend). In mimblewibmle, the full nodes has visibility over interactive transactions only wh

Prediction: Private blockchains will fail, because they offer no advantage over a permissioned database. Public or GTFO

sorry, but it already has. Censorship resistant money aka Bitcoin exists and works today!

by g45y45 8y ago
Prediction, sharded blockchains will never take off. With newer blockchain protocols like MimbleWimble, you do not need to store the full transaction details for all time. Too many things to go wrong, too brittle... This is a much better sc

If bitcoin is to be the global currency, it needs more channels to propagate than just public internet. Public Internet is too censorship receptive for system like Bitcoin. Broadcasting the block and tx data to the world via satellite gets

I used to think this way. Its not an accurate assessment of the situation. Its not about code execution on the OS leaking access to the camera, its that Spyware browser you use grabbing the camera via its js APIs. Malversting; Video Conf Ap

Cell phones don't leak precise power signals that identify exactly what a home user is doing. Smart Electric meters are absolutely part of the surveillance capitalism equation. Power Analysis is a leaky side channel.

Ironically, he didnt lose a cent in BTC. He bought well below the levels today. He also sold them at $4k with profit. His losses are from altcoins, which were never really worth anything to begin with.

That was bytecoin, not Monero. Monero is a code fork of Bytecoin. Bytecoin is considered a scam. Monero was a fair launch with no backdoors.

by g45y45 8y ago
No. Monero uses RingCT for transaction privacy. RingCT employs Borromean ring signatures, Pedersen Commitments and Bulletproofs (for range proofs). It does not use the zkSNARK construction. The Bulletproof (and the Pedersen Commitments) can

Hard Forks that end up spawning their own coins, (ie: continue to be mined under old consensus rules) are 100% scams. None of these are legit: Ethereum Classic, BCash, Bcash SV, MoneroV, Litecoin Cash. Never trust these -- at worst you can
