| 06:30:41 | fluffypony: | when I was in LA and Las Vegas a few months ago |
| 06:30:51 | fluffypony: | I tried a bunch of ATMs |
| 06:31:00 | fluffypony: | the experience was horrible |
| 06:34:54 | fluffypony: | the ones in LA were Robocoin, but seemed to be customised |
| 06:35:26 | fluffypony: | the process was arduous and quite confusing, I first had to scan my palm print, take a photo, scan my passport |
| 06:35:46 | fluffypony: | and then wait for "10 minutes" (turned out to be 20) whilst someone manually reviewed my "application" |
| 06:36:37 | fluffypony: | once that was confirmed the actual process was easier - go back to ATM, say you want to withdraw cash, send BTC, |
| 06:36:57 | fluffypony: | walk away, wait for 1 confirmation, go back, login, print slip, take slip to till, get cash |
| 06:37:27 | fluffypony: | the Robocoin ones in Vegas were a joke - go through a similar process, send funds, wait for SIX confirmations! I gave up |
| 06:40:03 | gmaxwell: | my SO had a similar expirence at a non-bitcoin ATM recently. Swiped card, made withdraw. "please wait, dispensing money" |
| 06:40:06 | gmaxwell: | for 20 minutes. |
| 06:40:18 | gmaxwell: | We couldn't leave... because, you know, "dispensing money". |
| 06:40:23 | gmaxwell: | Eventually it timed out. |
| 06:46:21 | fluffypony: | lol |
| 06:47:22 | fluffypony: | I feel like the problem is easily surmountable, it just requires Bitcoin ATMs designed by humans and not robots |
| 06:57:25 | midnightmagic: | the ATMs that steal your card while you do it are the worst when they "malfunction". |
| 07:02:08 | fluffypony: | midnightmagic: agreed, I much prefer the ones where you slide it in halfway and then pull it out once it's read the stripe/chip |

| 17:19:59 | user7779078: | does anyone have information on the DDoS's that pools were subject to a week or so ago? http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2015/03/march-22nd-2015-mining-pool-statistics.html |
| 18:07:48 | fanquake_: | fanquake_ is now known as fanquake |
| 19:34:24 | phantomcircuit: | user7779078, someone ddos attacked cloudhashing.com |
| 19:34:30 | phantomcircuit: | but that isn't the pool |
| 19:34:36 | phantomcircuit: | so it was just amusing |
| 19:37:47 | jgarzik: | DDoS attacks have been ongoing for months, and ramped up in Nov 2014 |
| 19:46:47 | fluffypony: | I wonder if this is the prisoner's dilemma that's been theorised |
| 20:06:56 | user7779078: | phantomcircuit: interesting, thanks. |
| 20:07:31 | hearn: | fluffypony: i think it's just "extortion over the internet with anonymous e-cash is super easy" |
| 20:07:45 | fluffypony: | oh yes, I remember now - they asked for BTC to stop the DDoS |
| 20:07:57 | fluffypony: | much less interesting than miner's dilemma |
| 20:12:22 | Taek: | I'm assuming the miner's dilemma is resources spent on DDOS'ing competition will eliminate enough hashrate to pay for themselves? |
| 20:12:31 | fluffypony: | Taek: yes |
| 20:13:32 | fluffypony: | the thing is that the cost of those resources differ from adversarial pool to adversarial pool |
| 20:14:23 | fluffypony: | (all hypothetical, of course) |
| 20:14:33 | fluffypony: | and sometimes the imbalance in this cost leads to consequences that could be interesting |
| 20:15:08 | fluffypony: | eg. small pool with a very small % in hash, but some connection to a large botnet, decides to take on large pool with a larger % in hash |
| 20:15:17 | user7779078: | phantomcircuit: is there an announcement to look at? |
| 20:15:37 | phantomcircuit: | user7779078, no |
| 20:15:45 | user7779078: | cheers |

| 21:27:37 | Taek: | I made a go library for merkle trees: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/merkletree |
| 21:27:57 | Taek: | afaik, it's the only go library that you can use to build and verify proofs that an element is in the tree |
| 21:38:54 | amiller: | Taek, petertodd has such a library |
| 21:39:01 | amiller: | i think maaku does too |
| 21:39:09 | Taek: | in go? |
| 21:39:14 | amiller: | ohhhh |
| 21:39:17 | amiller: | i read that as |
| 21:39:25 | amiller: | "go to" library like..... "good, rleiable" library... sorry |
| 21:39:59 | amiller: | yeah good job. it would be cool if it were protocol-compatible with one of the others rather than its own entire data protocol though |
| 21:41:03 | Taek: | I thought about that. I didn't know if there was a standard to pick. I didn't want to use Bitcoin's version because there's a problem with doubling the last element |
| 21:50:34 | gmaxwell: | Taek: should have used the certificate transparency spec. |
| 21:52:36 | DoctorBTC: | DoctorBTC has left #bitcoin-wizards |
| 21:55:40 | Taek: | "Note that the hash calculations for leaves and nodes differ. This domain separation is required to give second preimage resistance." Sorry if this is OT, but can someone explain this to me? |
| 21:59:37 | Taek: | it looks like my implementation only varies from the spec in a few minor places. I can probably make it compatible without a ton of effort |
| 21:59:57 | fluffypony: | lol amiller |
| 22:00:02 | fluffypony: | it really is the worst name for a language |
| 22:00:13 | adam3us2: | well i guess prevent people from pretending that a leaf is a node or vice-versa by tricking a verifier into misinterpreting |
| 22:00:33 | fluffypony: | there have been plenty of times when I'm searching for stuff and I get all sorts of random results, I find you have to search for "golang X" instead of "go X" |
| 22:00:52 | fluffypony: | especially when you want to use Go to interact with the Thunderbird client... |
