Tue Mar 17 19:12:36 UTC 2015 <Adlai> dev behind popular open-source-closed-dev spv wallet is also behind a sybil attack to correlate transactions with jurisdictions... so that's why local trader is so cheap!
Mon Mar 16 23:46:46 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> is it just me or is it hilariously funny that folks working with (or pretending to, whatever) with bitcoin - the only thing that ever solved 'sybil problem' -for the one case for which it is solvable- -- is spewing this kind of nonsense ?
Fri Mar 13 21:01:31 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> "The Bitcoin protocol, when implemented correctly, has a degree of sybil resistance when it comes to partitioning and double-spend risk as an attacker must get _all_ your connections for those attacks, but this kind of activity can really violate user privacy since privacy attacks don't need to get all your connections; especially for SPV nodes which liberally broadcast their wallet addresses to nodes that they're usin
Tue Feb 03 23:20:40 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> but the idea being that sybil attacks succeed when and only when the nodes are too agreefull.
Sat Jan 17 03:06:52 UTC 2015 <thestringpuller> how does that prevent democracy? (a sybil attack)?

Sat Jan 17 03:06:25 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> aka sybil, dos, etc. attacks
Wed Nov 19 07:15:48 UTC 2014 <BingoBoingo> Well, if you try to build a whole chain of Simplified Payment Verification... Probably going to get Sybil attacked to hell

Fri Oct 24 03:31:20 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> !s sybil attack
Sat Sep 20 16:07:39 UTC 2014 <moriarty> mircea_popescu, i've done a sybil on localbitcoins though :) just so i don't get pinned down as the guy with shitloads of bitcoin
Thu Sep 11 14:42:45 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> but this also happens to be the definition of a sybil vulnerability.
Thu Sep 11 14:38:54 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> kolinko if you have a process to go from 1 party to two, then you have a sybil problem. and to have 15 you necessarily must have had that process.
Thu Sep 11 14:36:54 UTC 2014 <kolinko> what I meant is - if you have a system of 15 parties, each one of them signing messages with their own gpg keys, that can be quite secure against the sybil attack. the attacker would have to steal keys of 8 independent parties.
Thu Sep 11 14:34:56 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> anyway, sybil attacks are specifically not a problem in anon systems. if you go for a romp in a gay cinema, to be fucked by a random man, it makes no difference to you who fucks you, so you can't be sybil'd by definition.
Thu Sep 11 14:33:27 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> and the arsed problem is not something to brush aside. the better your sybil protection, the more expensive their pointless expense.
Thu Sep 11 14:32:54 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> you are wrong in the first. sybil attacks are a problem on all systems that rely on identity to any degree.
Thu Sep 11 14:31:48 UTC 2014 <kolinko> well, sybil attack is really only a problem in systems that rely on anonymous parties
Thu Sep 11 14:30:23 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> sybil attacks, and why would they be arsed to care about your needs.
