Sat May 31 12:53:29 UTC 2014 <TomServo> entropy?
Thu May 29 16:55:04 UTC 2014 <jurov> lol andreas schildbach is just leaking "Mycelium Entropy" rng for printing paper wallets
Sat May 10 10:19:32 UTC 2014 <fluffypony> ;;later tell benkay not sure if this relevant at all to what you guys are encountering wrt the 4096 bit entropy problem - https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/602f88552b64
Tue May 06 21:15:29 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> the best error, like the best entropy, is the result of a different approach than culture.
Sun May 04 18:12:25 UTC 2014 <benkay> client wants to do a thing with asymmetric crypto on the major mobile platforms, my guys are handling the ios side. apple provides a handy dandy set of apis for generating keys (your second 4096 bit key on a bleeding edge iphone will take over a minute to gather 'adequate' 'entropy', btw).
Thu May 01 03:21:28 UTC 2014 <benkay> wrong direction on the entropy ladder
Wed Apr 30 18:28:54 UTC 2014 <fluffypony> "move the mouse to generate entropy"
Wed Apr 30 18:28:28 UTC 2014 <fluffypony> benkay: presumably due to lack of entropy not due to it being tough to crunch?
Tue Apr 29 11:13:04 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> because "dictionary" or whatever. which is fine, but also, killing them is the general goal of entropy.
Mon Apr 28 21:05:48 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> ie, not all keys work, key has to satisfy magic yubikey criteria on top of entropy
Fri Apr 25 03:44:11 UTC 2014 <BingoBoingo> Normally the answer is the catcher calling pitches, as a great catcher is a slightly better source of entropy than the batter
Thu Apr 10 20:42:23 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: he was probably speaking of greg chaitin's entropy.
Tue Apr 08 07:56:10 UTC 2014 <bounce> asciilifeform: I forgot who mentioned to hook a 10k resistor to a mike in, turn up the gain, and feed that to the entropy pool. how suitable an entropy source is that in your opinion?
Tue Apr 08 05:56:24 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> the numbers will show... beautiful entropy
Tue Apr 08 05:54:46 UTC 2014 <artifexd> I've learned that the raspberry pi has a hardware rng. My current plan is to build use that. I'll Von Neumann it if necessary. Regardless, as soon as I get one, I'll use the tools asciilifeform recommended to measure the entropy.
Tue Apr 08 03:17:52 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> the one other useful fact is that entropy of (bad rng) xor (better rng) is equal to that of (better rng)
Tue Apr 08 01:18:47 UTC 2014 <cgcardona_> i turn on loud music and shake my booty to generate extra entropy myself
Thu Apr 03 12:52:01 UTC 2014 <BingoBoingo> Might be a decent source of entropy
Tue Apr 01 16:18:21 UTC 2014 <kakobrekla> yeah the entropy on it is bad, no cardano sorry guise.
Fri Mar 28 00:20:17 UTC 2014 <Apocalyptic> <tg2> Rngd uses more entropy points // not in your case
