        oakpacific: it would be neglectful if they weren't already selling off-exchange wherever possible. coinbase premium.

        waxwing: sorry, do you still remember the cryptography coursebook pdf you once pointed me to?
      • waxwing
        oakpacific: hmm, which one? there are a few floating about out there
      • schneier stuff?
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: well, i don't really know, other than being written by gurus and fairly long
      • :)
      • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_gr... why can't people give it a slightly less verbose name?
      • waxwing
        oakpacific: Zn or whatever, not OK?
      • darkwallet lighthouse proj funded: https://blockchain.info/tx/2b31ffad76aa37974af3...
      • fun if not significant
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: well, searching for Zn is not exactly productive
      • waxwing
        oh i c :)
      • oakpacific
        or Zp for that matter
      • waxwing
        if you want to read about those groups, maybe just search for groups generally as those always come into play somewhere. unless it's just talking about axioms. and even then.
      • or .. if you're searching, is the fact that the name is verbose a disadvantage or an advantage? :)
      • oakpacific
        well, now i see i can searh with the phrase modulo n/p group
      • waxwing: long name has a disadvantage, people name it in a slightly different way and they can't be found

        oakpacific: am i missing something or could you have TOR for a postal service?
      • oakpacific
        what postal service do you mean?
      • waxwing
        well you know, encrypt the next address that a package gets sent to
      • i mean physical packages
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: oh, no wonder i didn't get it the first time :)
      • but the thing is, the exit node faces way more consequences in RL
      • waxwing
        oakpacific: yes, true.
      • but if thats the only objection it's still interesting
      • oakpacific
        MITM? you need to seal the package really professionally i guess
      • https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libaxolotl-an... be proud we have nearly as many watchers and stargazers as this repo
      • waxwing
        sealing the package problem is already there
      • re: axolotl, yeah, interesting. maybe it's the catchy names that both projects have that makes them so popular
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: :)
      • in China we have Bitmessage postal service btw :)
      • waxwing
        explain pls
      • oakpacific
        long-distance coach drivers taking packages from shops/businesses along the highway, then drop them at another point
      • waxwing
        right, sure, but why specifically bitmessage?
      • many systems are like that
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: well, just the vague similarity that all messages in BM are bundled in a block and transported
      • waxwing
        DHTs are a bit like that too
      • and prob other things i can't think of
      • oakpacific
        bitmessage is a bit token ring
      • waxwing
        onion router feels more like it could work in the real world because you can't go for an everything-> everywhere model like in bitmessage or bitcoin
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: yeah, but postal service already has rather good anonymity, if you use'em postal box
      • waxwing
        oakpacific: right. i'm thinking more of preventing 2 counterparties in a trade finding out each other's info.
      • oakpacific
        oh
      • waxwing
        there'd probably have to be more crypto gubbins along the way
      • but maybe you can do it
      • oakpacific
        better stick with my idea, orbital battleship guns :)
      • oakpacific suddenly recalls a nick 'noether' used to be around here
      • waxwing
        under what conditions would a single utxo point to more than 1 address?
      • i understand it might point to none: a p2sh
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: i don't get it, in which case a response script from each address could release the output?
      • *from either
      • waxwing
        oakpacific: i ask because of this:
      • {
      • "bestblock" : "0000d1371bf1fb441c85985031556eedd3e2f61ebaeeb635651614b896dfd965",
      • "confirmations" : 1,
      • "value" : 220.00000000,
      • "scriptPubKey" : {
      • "asm" : "OP_DUP OP_HASH160 602fc37d17659281b1eb440b760a9167062fb085 OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG",
      • "hex" : "76a914602fc37d17659281b1eb440b760a9167062fb08588ac",
      • "reqSigs" : 1,
      • "type" : "pubkeyhash",
      • "addresses" : [
      • "mpHYP9ME3DNpp1QujY5P98cKmZXgoGHN6B"
      • ]
      • },
      • "version" : 1,
      • "coinbase" : false
      • }
      • ^ addresses is an array
      • sorry i forgot to add that that is the output from gettxout <txid> <output index>
      • so it's one vout
      • oakpacific
      • but probably not
      • waxwing
        well possibly in an abstract way it's relevant; my question is simply, why did they make that an array, what's the scenario where there's more than one?
      • like i said, i perfectly understand it could be none
      • oakpacific
        also it's a multisig addr
      • waxwing
        what's a multisig address?
      • oakpacific
        i meant doesn't it start with a "m", what's it actually?
      • waxwing
        testnet/regtest
      • oakpacific
        sorry yeah
      • never used it
      • waxwing
        as i said above, i understsand that if it's p2sh there doesn't have to be an address here (although there *could* be a msig)
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: yeah
      • waxwing
        oakpacific: you have used testnet, i saw you :)
      • oakpacific
        but otoh, if, let's say if, the redeeming condition is, a signed script from one of a list of addresses, i don't see how that wouldn't work
      • waxwing
        would that be p2sh though?
      • hmm hang on, maybe it's raw/bare multisig. old style.
      • oakpacific
        well, to the best of my memory, they also used single address...
      • waxwing
        yeah, almost certainly
      • i still don't understand it, but 99.99% it will never matter :)
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: well, you could experiment yourself
      • waxwing
        how could i do that? if i don't know what can cause it to happen, then i can't make it happen :)
      • i never knew there was a "bitcoin court" :)
      • hmm did you know there are still 70 people in #mtgox, including MagicalTux?
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: not there for a long time, but wouldn't be surprised
      • so is it like, with lighthouse, MH is regaining trust from lots of old-time rivals?
      • waxwing
        :)
      • i noticed the toddster submitting PRs to MH the other day
      • but nah those arguments are never going to be settled
      • except maybe fight club style :)
      • oakpacific
        yeah, and darkwallet is using it for crowdfunding
      • waxwing
        yeah i knew what you were referring to
      • oakpacific
        well, arguments will/should carry on, but the consipracy theory can stop
      • waxwing
        so is it likely that mtgox will ever be removed from the wiki?
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: anyone who will read the wiki knows better i guess
      • waxwing
        true
      • that was more a question to be asked in late 2013 than early 2015
      • oakpacific
        OT channel is there
      • should have bitsquare and tlsnotary included as well
      • :)
      • waxwing
        right
      • i noticed, kinda random they put twister and darkwallet
      • oakpacific
        waxwing: do you know if there is a mail client that could enable the vacation responder setting on a service like gmail?
      • doesn't look like it's part of any protocol
      • waxwing
        oakpacific: a bit of an advanced question for me :)
      • oakpacific has quit
