        idk
      • that wouldnt lead to more localbitcoins volume
      • or would it
      • according to that sub, some drug dealers are also localbitcoins sellers, hehe
      • i had a slight moral panic today, about my coinjoin thing
      • how would i feel if someone was kidnapped and the ransom paid in bitcoin, then they used the idea i helped come up with to launder the money
      • guess they're natural thoughts, with any kind of crypto privacy stuff
      • the good outweighs the bad
      • you can pay kidnappers ransom with other methods too
      • oakpacific
        belcher: you know D.B.Copper?
      • belcher
        nope
      • oakpacific
      • belcher
        ty, will read
      • oakpacific
      • belcher
        that one seems like it just brings back centralization
      • apart from probably being unworkable
      • i mean like, centralization by consensus, like for many democratic governments
      • which have overwhelming popular support, dont forget
      • does hearn still come here or in #bitsquare btw?
      • it was cool chatting to him when he was around
      • oakpacific
        i said some similar tl;dr down there
      • i think the central idea is, if everyone hates you and wants you to get caught, let's be real, you can't escape
      • wherever you are, whatever you use
      • technology doesn't help people to decide, it just execute their decisions at greated efficiency
      • belcher
        ok but some technology is inherently helpful more to some kinds of ideas than others
      • the printing press in europe is highly related to protestant christianity for instance
      • technology shapes society, makes some ideas more likely to win than others
      • ideas = any kind of movement
      • and for your central idea, technology like tor allows pedophiles to organise and communicate when earlier they could never find each other, even though literally everyone else hates pedophiles
      • obv i believe in tor, thats not the point, even facebook believes in tor
      • hearn gave me another idea reading that
      • the community expressing its will can be expressed through ddos
      • oakpacific
        you know what, i think that's actually because tor is to a degree centralized
      • relays are not normal nodes, they are a level higher
      • belcher
        much of the power is decentralized
      • so theres a central list of nodes iirc
      • but the stuff that matters, knowledge of whose talking to whom, is completely decentralized
      • damn, 00:30 already
      • oakpacific
        nah, the 8000 or so relays decide if you can be found
      • not the millions users at large
      • if everyone is a node, and 90% of them hate pedos
      • authority can just ask them one by one to tell some certain packets's upstream IPs
      • until they get down to this one guy

      • "It is estimated that 20,000 people in the UK currently hold Bitcoins – and around £60m worth are circulating in the UK economy. But we want to get the facts on why people are using them. " lol, I bet you do!
      • gov.uk is choosing rsa/aes-128-cbc :)
      • mkarrer joined the channel
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: your browser seems to be old and need updates? or maybe you configured it specifically for tlsnotary?
      • it's showing DHE/AES-GCM for me
      • waxwing
        no i checked. FF33 on defaults.
      • ah . tlsversion num, hang on..
      • no, still ok tls.version.max is set to 3.
      • oakpacific
        well, then they are a nasty site, still is using government website as an oracle a good idea?
      • waxwing
        yes, it's an excellent idea for verifying an identity, if that is possible and for some reason turns out to be useful.
      • anyway the default is not the main issue, i'm sure most such sites will still support rsa.
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: oh, i didn't think that far today(though definitely for the last several days)
      • i was talking about pubkey-sanity check oracle
      • waxwing
        oh that, no , def wouldn't use a gov site for that
      • or hang on, you mean pms check or? pubkey sanity checking, what's that?
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: yeah, right, sorry it's a sleepy morning
      • waxwing: well generally the principle seems to be as little collusion as possible
      • so seems the sites should be in as many industries as possible
      • waxwing
        oakpacific, i was puzzled what might be causing you getting a different cipher suite, possibly you have tls.version.min set to 3? or possibly you're using chrome?
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: yes i am using chrome for sure, but why would that cause a difference?
      • waxwing
        oakpacific, basically, adam langley. 'nuff said :)
      • maybe he read our paper and disabled tls 1.0 :)
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: okay, sorry for not providing enough info
      • that's rather....hmmm
      • waxwing
        i can fire up chrome now and i'd bet i'll get the same as you.
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: i tried ff already
      • waxwing
        yeah i get the same as you for chrome
      • oakpacific
        and i already somehow thought the same
      • waxwing
        in ff make sure you have tls.version.min at 1 (or 0 if you think poodle is a bunch of crap), and tls.version.max at 3
      • oakpacific secretly hopes definitive proof of NSA sabotage of P-256 cruves surface to give DHE missionaries a kick in the butt
      • secretly? heh
      • i'm the same, i'd love to see that happen. people treat mathematics too much like brands. ECC is the Apple of crypto.
      • oakpacific
        okay, obscurely
      • oh wait, just realize gov.uk uses the traditional DHE, not ECDHE
      • speculating on the motives of website operators for using a particular CC is such a fun sport :)
      • waxwing
      • So I'm waiting for feedback on the notification box redesign thing, in particular need to change the icon. once that's done i would assume we could shove in signing to the peer messaging. but until then i probably won't do anything else.
      • of course, any changes proposed to the website could be thrown in too. i could make a little repo for the website front page maybe.
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: how do i try out without it being merged? from your repo?
      • waxwing
        um, yeah, i think that's easiest.
      • but it's tlsnotary-1 not tlsnotary
      • oakpacific, ^ get the zip from there
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: tks you are so considerate
      • :)
      • waxwing
        ok great, didn't realise i was being considerate :)
      • oakpacific
        i know it sounds weird lol
      • dansmith_btc
        feel free to comment on upload site selection https://github.com/tlsnotary/tlsnotary/issues/74
      • waxwing
        we could use OP_RETURN btc transactions :)
      • dansmith_btc, is it poss. to use those others via python directly?
      • dansmith_btc
        waxwing, all 4 will be used via python, i will also get rid of the old sendspace.js files
      • waxwing
        OK great. well, big thumbs up from me then. obv would be nice to find a p2p way to send the data practically, but this is a nice step forwards, hope it's not too much work.
      • dansmith_btc
        took me a night of reverse engineering
      • waxwing
        dansmith_btc, well, goes without saying, but thanks for putting in the time. i have a technical comment, but will put it in the issue thread instead.
