This is a completely legit transaction, nothing weird about it. It comes from me it goes to you. It goes through the bitcoin network properly. Separately, I post to some darknet a bunch of competing transactions, which all have the same input but their outputs split between a key I have and a kickback for the same key as will claim one of the old 00:22 < bramc> mining rewards. I post one of these for each of the last couple thousand mining operations 00:23 < bramc> So you accept the as legit as it can be zeroconf operation, and it gets magically undone by a miner who is, ahem, optimizing their mining rewards. 00:24 < p15> ok I see 00:25 < p15> it sounds pretty similar to a normal attack on zeroconf 00:25 < p15> just a new way to reward a miner 00:27 < p15> the killer attack would be one that didn't include a complicit miner 00:30 < bramc> You can do an 'okay' job of zeroconf if you assume that the miners are diligently trying to make everything fair and just and are acting as charitable entities 00:30 < bramc> Of course, that view is hopelessly naive. 00:32 -!- gill3s [~gill3s@pat35-3-82-245-143-153.fbx.proxad.net] has quit [Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep.

(splitting the bitcoins between yourself and the miner)? this just seems like a non-interactive way to stop the miner needing to send you his public key and creates a link on the blockchain. Please correct me if i'm wrong with understanding what you proposed.

That makes it more deniable by the miner as well: it's just a fee. 02:27 < stonecoldpat> CoinMuncher: fair point, you would need to find where the coinbase has been spent to get the public key - and the fee does seem a more obvious way to do it, but it does look strange if the 'fee' is very large and it was not visible on the network before going into the blockchain (if its just a large fee, youd expect everyone to hear about it), whereas a transaction would be less supicious 02:29 < stonecoldpat> or may be less suspicious* (always arguable) 02:32 -!- mkarrer [~mkarrer@0.Red-83-63-243.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 02:36 -!- Mably [56401ec3@gateway/web/freenode/ip.86.64.30.195] has joined #bitcoin-wizards 02:37 < CoinMuncher> yeah still suspicious, but a bit more plausible deniability for the miner than a straight transaction.

Just to be clear. 11:26 < waxwing> well this one is obviously hugely useful in non-criminal contexts. at least looks that way to me. 11:30 < waxwing> wow "exposure freeness". that's cool, so the judge doesn't even have to know the contents of the contract :) 11:30 -!- bosma [~bosma@S01067cb21bda6531.vc.shawcable.net] has joined #bitcoin-wizards 11:32 -!- gill3s [~gill3s@pat35-3-82-245-143-153.fbx.proxad.net] has quit [Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…] 11:32 < gmaxwell> waxwing: the schemes we have for tree structured hashes also let you do things like prove sections of text, so you can redact most of a contract if only part is in dispute. 11:34 < gmaxwell> (e.g. use the hash of the full contract (plus optionally a nonce) to build a tree structured CSPRNG that assigns a nonce to each byte of the message. Then make a tree structured hash over the bytes with their nonces, sign the hash root... now you can compactly prove any character ranges from the original document, without revealing the whole document.) 11:34 < waxwing> gmaxwell: yes that's a great idea. although you'd have to make sure each *section* is signed independently. 11:34 < gmaxwell> waxwing: nope, see above, it can be done so a signal signature lets you cover arbritary ranges, down to the bit. 11:35 < gmaxwell> if the contract naturally has some structure like sections, the ranges could break along them too, e.g. if you wanted disclosure of certian data to always be forced. 11:35 < waxwing> i'm thinking semantically; Alice promises A,B,C if Bob abides by D,E,F - no point exposing only the A,B,C part. sort o fthing. 11:35 -!- sbos99 [~superbos@79.114.31.89] has joined #bitcoin-wizards 11:36 < gmaxwell> yea indeed, though if the scheme is interactive and bob reveals A,B,C and D but not E and F, alice can just expose E,F (or just whatever bob isn't complying with). 11:36 < gmaxwell> Main utility I saw in this was just a "here is my contact with them with the payment amounts, and my delivery address redacted" 11:36 < waxwing> yes 11:37 < waxwing> the conditional exposure solves it, or at least it's good enough. people who write legal contracts will have fun :) 11:37 -!- antanst1

imagine cases where Bob applies game theory, knowing Alice values the secrecy of C more than the fulfilment of the contract. 11:39 < waxwing> but exposure only to a judge/arbiter might make that almost purely theoretical 11:40 < gmaxwell> waxwing: sure, but without this scheme bob can do that over the whole contract; so at least its a strict improvement. 11:41 -!- antanst

worth boycotting patented papers 20:09 < Taek> especially if the paper has good ideas, you might find ways to build on those ideas and then find your own work subject to patent litigation 20:09 <

gmaxwell> some venues may have requirements to disclose patent information, we could certantly encourage venus to adopt such rules. 20:16 < gmaxwell> Oh also, it may eventually be useful to distinguish patent terms, for example if someone gets patents assigns them to a 501(c)(3) and offers them under permissive protective licenses; would you shun those too? 20:17 -!- hashtag_

a 'Linux Defenders' group that makes defensive publications related to linux technologies, I'm wondering if it would be worth organizing something similar for Bitcoin 20:18 < Taek> (not that I am volunteering) 20:20 < zooko> In theory that organization -- the Open Invention Network -- could define Bitcoin as being part of linux, and then all of its current members would be obligated not to patent-sue anyone for their use of Bitcoin 20:20 < zooko> or else they would get kicked out of the club. 20:20 < zooko> I think that's how it works. 20:21 < zooko> The process would be that someone,
