1 2012-01-08 00:03:24 <copumpkin> huh?
 2 2012-01-08 00:03:55 <Diablo-D3> lol
 3 2012-01-08 00:04:00 <Diablo-D3> diki isnt even a good troll
 4 2012-01-08 00:06:04 <luke-jr> [20:05:49] <diki> wizkid057:I have file ranging with ALL my passwords
 5 2012-01-08 00:06:06 <luke-jr> wtf?
 6 2012-01-08 00:09:03 <luke-jr> [20:07:54] <diki> I will probably as a hobby attempt address collision again
 7 2012-01-08 00:09:58 <wizkid057> lol
 8 2012-01-08 00:10:19 <luke-jr> [20:09:15] <diki> theymos once told me the chain had 2(now prolly more) addresses
 9 2012-01-08 00:36:47 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: wait...wtf?
10 2012-01-08 00:37:02 <BlueMatt> why the hell did theymos think there are any collisions in the chain???
11 2012-01-08 00:37:39 <gmaxwell> BlueMatt: huh?
12 2012-01-08 00:37:48 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: addresses, not collisions
13 2012-01-08 00:37:58 <BlueMatt> wait, the chain has 2 addresses???
14 2012-01-08 00:38:09 <BlueMatt> that statement just makes no damn sense
15 2012-01-08 00:38:19 <gmaxwell> There are duplicate coinbase txn in the chain.
16 2012-01-08 00:38:49 <BlueMatt> oh, now it makes sense
17 2012-01-08 00:38:57 <BlueMatt> but its far off from saying that correctly...
18 2012-01-08 00:39:13 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: nothing diki says makes sense
19 2012-01-08 00:39:24 <gmaxwell> luke-jr: there is a solution to that
20 2012-01-08 00:39:27 <luke-jr> he's mining for address collisions
21 2012-01-08 00:39:36 <BlueMatt> oh god...
22 2012-01-08 00:40:03 <Diablo-D3> oh?
23 2012-01-08 00:40:06 <luke-jr> he's so sure that Satoshi broke SHA256, so he thinks he'll find them
24 2012-01-08 00:40:24 <Diablo-D3> but what does sha256 have to do with addresses?
25 2012-01-08 00:40:47 <luke-jr> :P
26 2012-01-08 00:41:00 <luke-jr> Diablo-D3: he sees the base58 function doing double-sha256
27 2012-01-08 00:47:26 <Diablo-D3> heh
28 2012-01-08 00:50:28 <diki> lololo
29 2012-01-08 00:50:41 <diki> luke, why in the world are you posting my stuff here?
30 2012-01-08 00:50:44 <diki> so out of context
31 2012-01-08 00:52:03 <diki> I said, that when I asked theymos a few months ago how many addresses total exist in the chain he said 1.7 or 2 million
32 2012-01-08 00:52:17 <diki> whether unique or not, dunno
33 2012-01-08 00:54:31 <BlueMatt> sipa: whats the reason why ReacceptWalletTransactions is necessary?
34 2012-01-08 00:54:45 <BlueMatt> (wouldnt rescan handle them for the most part?)
35 2012-01-08 01:00:18 <k9quaint> I found an address collision!!!
36 2012-01-08 01:00:29 <k9quaint> so slow, loser!
37 2012-01-08 01:40:29 <BlueMatt> ;;later tell sipa whats the reason why ReacceptWalletTransactions is necessary? (wouldnt rescan handle them?)
38 2012-01-08 01:40:30 <gribble> The operation succeeded.
39 2012-01-08 01:40:55 <BlueMatt> ;;later tell sipa also, what is the point of UpdatedTransaction for coinbases, shouldnt those already appear?
40 2012-01-08 01:40:56 <gribble> The operation succeeded.
41 2012-01-08 01:51:18 <onelineproof> A bc address is basically RIPEMD160(SHA256(public_key)). The double SHA256 is for the error checking part. Anyone know how to calculate the probability of 2 different public keys having the same RIPEMD(SHA256) ?
42 2012-01-08 01:53:49 <phantomcircuit> onelineproof, nominally it is 2^160
43 2012-01-08 01:54:05 <phantomcircuit> it's almost certainly worse than that due to the limited keyspace
44 2012-01-08 01:54:59 <onelineproof> ok good, and anyway it's recommended to distribute your wealth over multiple keys
45 2012-01-08 01:55:19 <BlueMatt> thats for anonymity not for security
46 2012-01-08 01:55:49 <BlueMatt> if someone finds a collision, well I would, as gmaxwell once said (about an unrelated but tangential topic) "wear it as a badge of honor"
47 2012-01-08 01:56:42 <onelineproof> will in case theres a collision or someone finds your private key, it would only get a small fraction of your wealth. You would need many collisions (much less probability) to get all of someones wealth
48 2012-01-08 01:57:31 <phantomcircuit> onelineproof, that would be a linear increase in security
