02:56:00 <lumberjack123> Someone on the interwebz critiques the use of RingCT and Stealth Addresses by saying "the decoy selection needs to have no bias for all of that to work.  this is why people are looking at statistical attacks"
02:56:14 <lumberjack123> I am not sure what "decoy selection" means, does anyone have an idea?
03:01:28 <gingeropolous> the other members of the ring in the ring signature
03:01:50 <gingeropolous> when you make a transaction, it has your real input, and then (currently) 10 other decoys
03:02:38 <gingeropolous> how those decoys are selected has evolved over time.
03:03:15 <gingeropolous> however, it all still works, unless we've entered the universe where statistical probability equals truth
03:03:52 <gingeropolous> well, where statistical probability equals reality.
03:04:40 <upp> yeah i think weve already arrived at the universe where truth and reality is whatever they decree it to be
03:04:43 <upp> :x
03:05:05 <gingeropolous> indeed
03:06:23 <gingeropolous> does that make sense lumberjack123 ?
07:39:45 <codebam> hey so I want to make a monero miner that I can put on a website that would automatically donate to the ukraine BTC address. what's the best way of doing this?
07:40:00 <codebam> they don't have an XMR address
07:40:30 <codebam> don't want to make it malicious. users would agree to use their CPU power
07:40:39 <moneromooo> You have no chance of finding anything mining bitcoin on a computer.
07:40:47 <codebam> no I want to mine monero
07:40:52 <codebam> and convert it to btc
07:41:17 <codebam> or keep it as monero if ukraine eventually accepts that, but right now they only accept BTC and ETH
07:41:19 <moneromooo> Well, you can look at primo and adapt it maybe.
07:41:31 <codebam> okay, thank you I'll take a look
07:43:15 <codebam> primo looks cool, but why not just embed javascript that does this?
07:43:28 <codebam> some rust code compiled to webasm maybe
07:44:03 <moneromooo> Because floating point rounding rules aren't usable from jsvascript AIUI.
07:44:24 <moneromooo> So you'fe left with having to soft float it, which would be horrendously slow.
07:44:53 <moneromooo> Hearsay. I do not know it myself.
07:45:21 <codebam> if I use webasm are floats... accurate?
07:45:24 <codebam> since it's rust
07:45:30 <codebam> I'll ask the rust people
07:46:19 <moneromooo> You need to be able to set rounding mode.
07:46:36 <moneromooo> ie, to 0, to +inf, etc.
10:57:42 <hyc> that's correct
18:37:24 <gingeropolous> ermagerd
18:37:39 <gingeropolous> this meeting im in
18:41:29 <nioc> shill montero
18:50:56 <gingeropolous> hello have you heard about our lord and savior montero
18:54:20 <apotheon> yes
18:54:26 <apotheon> had him over for dinner last night
18:56:40 <gingeropolous> .praisemonero
18:57:43 <gingeropolous> uh oh! praisemonero.com expires next month. hope whoever has it is on top of it!@
