Thu Jun 16 15:54:06 UTC 2016 <pankkake> hard drives movements provide entropy? hmm, I'll generate my next key by flipping over an old laptop
Thu Jun 16 15:53:12 UTC 2016 <kakobrekla> offline boxen, possibly with solid state storage can make things only worse for entropy
Thu Jun 16 15:50:29 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> when I use bitaddress.org on an offline box, i put my own entropy in
Thu Jun 16 15:50:03 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> funkenstein_ thinks there is any appreciable entropy in his mouse movement ?
Thu Jun 16 15:49:44 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> using own entropy
Tue Jun 14 21:23:07 UTC 2016 <kakobrekla> page could as well be a local thing and entropy could as well be injected in 'manually'
Tue Jun 14 21:22:01 UTC 2016 <kakobrekla> 'modded page' and 'source of entropy' are not unfixable
Tue Jun 14 21:15:19 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> nor is browser is serious source of entropy for key gen.

Wed May 18 20:53:25 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> *shrug* the idea that lack of entropy is limiting some activity is amusing
Wed May 18 20:11:56 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> on the other hand, for a process running in virtual isolation, lack of entropy could be a more interesting problem
Wed May 18 19:59:56 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> kakobrekla, some entropy sources come to mind for a PC: mains power, microphone, camera, antennae, mouse, keyboard
Wed May 18 19:56:20 UTC 2016 <assbot> Logged on 18-05-2016 19:22:00; funkenstein_: from a physics standpoint a better question is "what ISN'T a good source of entropy? "

Wed May 18 16:05:12 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> perhaps academic obfuscatory language could be one of the sources of entropy?
Tue May 17 21:00:29 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> of course not but at least I can have full confidence in my key entropy
Thu Feb 25 01:42:13 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-02-2016#1415029 << i am actually very ambivalent about recommending an integer field arithm cipher for use as block cipher on a conventional pc. for one thing, we will have transfer rates measured in kb/sec (if we're lucky.) for another, extreme side channel danger, because we're branching-on-secrets. for a third, entropy starvation.
