 2 2011-09-23 00:48:50 <diki> can someone tell me why each getwork is different?
 3 2011-09-23 00:48:58 <diki> i am looking at the code
 4 2011-09-23 00:49:07 <Guest62928> and...i just done see what produces a random getwork
 5 2011-09-23 00:49:11 <Guest62928> we.., not so random
 6 2011-09-23 00:56:57 <dikidera> ok i see, one reason is the ntime which is updated based on what time() returns plus a few stuff in there as well
 7 2011-09-23 01:01:44 <dikidera> no one alive?
 8 2011-09-23 01:02:33 <luke-jr> noone to tell you rtfm
 9 2011-09-23 01:03:13 <imsaguy> lol
10 2011-09-23 01:04:10 <dikidera> luke-jr:i am looking for a manual, but, i cannot seem to find it in my ROOM
11 2011-09-23 01:04:24 <dikidera> a possible answer is that it physically does not exist
12 2011-09-23 01:04:31 <dikidera> so i said to myself, i should ask the devs
13 2011-09-23 01:04:35 <dikidera> they oughta know
14 2011-09-23 01:05:43 <imsaguy> did you ask the google?
15 2011-09-23 01:06:29 <pointbiz> new version of bitaddress.org now with bulk CSV address generation
16 2011-09-23 01:06:31 <pointbiz> http://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v0.7-SHA1-34e344a0d229dc10c8f5c99ed6b6298e6fc5e39f.html
17 2011-09-23 01:07:12 <dikidera> anywho
18 2011-09-23 01:07:56 <dikidera> while this will not stop a getwork from being "different"/unique etc, which is not what i want to do, what will happen if for a while, time() is static, i.e it returns the same time as before for say 30 minutes?
19 2011-09-23 01:09:05 <dikidera> because on each new getwork request, ntime is updated with the current time in seconds
20 2011-09-23 01:09:15 <dikidera> which means, every getwork contains the most recent time
21 2011-09-23 01:14:41 <phantomcircuit> pointbiz, question why?
22 2011-09-23 01:17:15 <copumpkin> yeah, why?
23 2011-09-23 01:17:27 <copumpkin> seems to kind of defeat the purpose of a private key
24 2011-09-23 01:17:30 <copumpkin> to have someone else give it to you
25 2011-09-23 01:17:51 <copumpkin> even certificate requests involve generating a private key locally and not sending to anyone else :P
26 2011-09-23 01:18:07 <copumpkin> I guess this is generating it in javascript
27 2011-09-23 01:20:09 <cjdelisle> for now it is.. We went over this before. People should not be learning to get their private keys from (wnat appears to be) a website
28 2011-09-23 01:21:46 <pointbiz> the bulk feature is good if you need to generate a bulk of addresses for use on a merchant website, maybe in conjunction with bitcoinnotify.com
29 2011-09-23 01:22:43 <phantomcircuit> you can generate millions of ecdsa keys in no time at all
30 2011-09-23 01:22:52 <dikidera> yup
31 2011-09-23 01:22:57 <dikidera> vanitygen
32 2011-09-23 01:23:12 <dikidera> but damn is it slow to compare them to the blockchain
33 2011-09-23 01:23:30 <dikidera> i am trying to....find a collision but bitcoin is still young
34 2011-09-23 01:24:00 <phantomcircuit> find a collision?
35 2011-09-23 01:24:02 <phantomcircuit> lol right
36 2011-09-23 01:24:08 <dikidera> well yeah
37 2011-09-23 01:24:22 <dikidera> its not like i am bruteforcing it or anything
38 2011-09-23 01:24:40 <dikidera> just export the blockchain's addresses, compare them to whatever vanitygen made
39 2011-09-23 01:24:52 <pointbiz> javascript is probably the slowest way to generate a million addresses
40 2011-09-23 01:25:15 <pointbiz> im not sure when the array size will crap out
41 2011-09-23 01:25:27 <pointbiz> im guessing people only need 100 or 1000 at a time
