Mon Nov 17 12:04:36 UTC 2014 <Adlai> AMAZING ENTROPY
Mon Nov 17 12:03:48 UTC 2014 <jurov> ENTROPY CARES
Mon Nov 17 12:02:45 UTC 2014 <Adlai> entropy cares how it's serialized
Fri Nov 14 23:46:33 UTC 2014 <Adlai> frankly, my crypto knowledge is lacking to have anything meaningful to say on this issue, beyond "gpg keys can have an order of magnitude more entropy than bitcoin pubkey hashes"
Fri Nov 14 21:58:26 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> nubbins`: see the discussion last year of the 'entropy' of the digits of 'pi'.
Mon Nov 10 03:03:14 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: entropy key << gadget was discussed here many times. appears to be permanently unavailable (and closed-source.)
Sun Nov 09 23:19:42 UTC 2014 <assbot> Simtec Electronics Entropy Key: USB True Random Number Generator
Sun Nov 09 23:19:41 UTC 2014 <ben_vulpes> http://www.entropykey.co.uk/ << more entropy hardware, ARM micros included!
Fri Nov 07 03:04:51 UTC 2014 <decimation> I'm dubious that there is much real coordination of these things, more just random entropy in various usg departments
Tue Nov 04 15:59:11 UTC 2014 <bounce> anyway, so essentially anything you do causes entropy by waste heat. eventually heat death of the universe. but where does the energy to heat up come from?
Thu Oct 30 19:20:18 UTC 2014 <assbot> 2 results for 'down with entropy' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=down+with+entropy
Thu Oct 30 19:20:17 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> !s down with entropy
Wed Oct 29 15:32:54 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> 'any periodic noise that makes it through simply reduces the bits/byte number of the entropy and gets smeared out by subsequent whitening' << is he serious? gotta be trolling
Wed Oct 29 15:16:13 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> 'we're making entropy - not a full random number generator, something to feed it' << ???!??
Tue Oct 28 09:11:21 UTC 2014 <Naphex> CheckDavid: you get more entropy from a generator
Tue Oct 28 08:58:43 UTC 2014 <Naphex> this is how entropy use from /dev/random looks like on a SSL gateway (reasonable amount of connections/handshakes)
Tue Oct 28 08:55:52 UTC 2014 <Naphex> revo ~ # cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
Tue Oct 28 08:55:32 UTC 2014 <Naphex> which gives you the amount of available entropy bytes
Tue Oct 28 08:55:23 UTC 2014 <Naphex> on linux kernels you have the value exported through procfs /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
Tue Oct 28 08:54:55 UTC 2014 <CheckDavid> I'm not sure how that entropy is cached or generated.
