You are a linux user. 08:35:33 macbeth: "persistence" isn't a word related to either CD burning or Linux, as far as I am aware 08:35:37 so explain what you mean 08:36:25 If there is 4GB persistence, then the CD/USB will remember that much memory. Rather then it being a LiveCD that doesn't keep installed programs or files. 08:36:58 what? 08:37:12 I really don't understand how I can make this easier to read. 08:37:28 macbeth; are you talking about savefiles like what puppy linux does, or what? 08:37:42 because that is not -at all- a common occurrence for Linux distros 08:37:54 That it would be able to save files? 08:38:45 * joepie91 sighs 08:38:52 * macbeth also sighs 08:38:56 macbeth, it helps if you make an effort 08:38:57 http://puppylinux.org/wikka/SaveFile 08:38:58 there 08:38:59 go read it 08:39:05 and tell me whether that is what you're trying to do 08:40:38 I'm pretty sure that that is not what I want to do. I just want to be able to click "Save as" on text docs and install software to my linux CD and have it stay. Because right now, when I shut down the CD and boot up to my normal OS, then go back to the CD it is just a Live CD that won't retain anything. 08:41:07 macbeth: that's exactly what I just linked you to 08:41:30 and without knowing what Linux distro you're trying to use - as very few support this and they might implement it differently - I can't possibly tell you how to use it 08:42:15 So "persistence" is how much memory the CD/USB will allow you to save to it. 08:42:31 What program do you recomend to put an ISO on a CD? 08:42:41 ......... 08:42:45 So "persistence" is how much memory the CD/USB will allow you to save to it. 08:42:47 no, no it isn't 08:42:52 .wik persistence 08:42:53 "Image persistence, in LCD monitors" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence 08:42:56 urgh 08:42:59 .w persistence 08:43:00 persistence — noun: 1. The property of being persistent, 2. (computer science) Of data, continuing to exist after the execution of the program, 3. (meteorology) Continuation of the previous day's weather (particularly temperature and precipitation statistics) 08:43:17 2 is what I'm talking about 08:43:34 macbeth: and you didn't even specify what OS you're CURRENTLY using that you want to burn a disc from 08:43:53 macbeth: except that refers to applications storing data in general, INCLUDING JUST SAVING SHIT TO A HDD. 08:43:59 which is why your initial question was completely unclear 08:44:05 and you really need to make an effort to clarify what you mean 08:44:14 instead of going "YEAH WELL DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN" 08:44:21 because if I have to ask, I clearly don't 08:44:42 Alright 08:44:43 you've also managed to spoil my mood pretty much minutes after getting out of bed 08:45:09 this would've been such a simple question if asked correctly... 08:45:37 Alright 08:45:52 "I'm currently on OS/distro X, I want to use distro Y that can save stuff to the CD it runs from, what application should I use to burn a CD that can do that" 08:46:09 Exactly 08:46:19 macbeth: yes, except that's not what you asked 08:46:34 instead, it cost two screens and 13 minutes of questions and confusion 08:46:38 to understand that the above is your question 08:46:55 and I still don't even know what OS/distro X is 08:47:04 or Y, for that matter 08:47:53 I am on Windows... I jsut want to use any Linux distro that I can put security tools on and personalize and put shit on that will help me to things. I will figure out what it is. All I need is the name of a burner. ATM: I am thinking that I will be using Puppy 08:53:00 macbeth: no, not "all you need is the name of a burner" 08:53:16 there are very few distros that -can- even save to CD 08:53:20 puppy is one of them 08:53:27 there are a few others, but most can't do it 08:53:31 so decide on a distro first 08:53:40 puppy 08:54:00 after that, if you do decide to go with Puppy Linux, you can use any application that allows you to burn multi-volume discs (ie. not close the disc) 08:54:07 and I'm pretty sure that CDBurnerXP at least supports that 08:54:12 but pretty much every application does 08:54:29 and you'll also want to use a DVD, not a CD 08:54:32 for space reasons 08:55:35 are there other words that mean "multi-volume"? 08:56:02 "don't close the disc" is the only other one I've seen 08:56:34 So, are you telling me I can not eject the disc from my computer when I'm done w/ it? 08:57:18 I do apolizige. It is very late where I am. 08:59:28 macbeth: wha? 08:59:34 are there other words that mean "multi-volume"? 08:59:34 "don't close the disc" is the only other one I've seen 08:59:38 I just answered your question 08:59:43 that is how it's sometimes put 08:59:46 "don't close the disc" 09:00:17 So it's just called that? I can actually shut down the disc? 09:04:46 ... 09:04:49 macbeth 09:05:04 you asked if there are other words for "multi-volume" 09:05:23 I tell you that sometimes, in burning applications, it is called "don't close the disc" 09:05:28 that is what it says in the burning application 09:05:30 with a checkbox 09:05:32 an option that you can check 09:05:41 I'm really not sure what is unclear about this 09:05:49 macbeth: just go burn the damn thing, at this point we're just both wasting our time 09:06:21 What is hard about this: 09:06:23 1) I am stupid. 2) It is beyond 4am where I live 3) I am starving. 09:06:35 macbeth: then go the fuck to sleep and do this when you're more awake... 09:06:58 right now I am getting frustrated because you're not understanding things I say, because you're tired and hungry 09:07:06 I don't see how it makes sense for you NOT to go to sleep 09:07:11 you're not getting anything done 09:07:16 true 09:07:17 you're frustrating me 09:07:19 good night 09:07:19 why are you not asleep? 09:07:26 goodnight, and we'll talk about this tomorrow 09:07:28 i have actual work to do 09:07:30 that is why 09:07:33 do work when you're awake 09:07:35 not when you're tired 09:07:35 but yeah, nothing is working well 09:07:38 cya 09:07:41 *** macbeth has quit (User quit: macbeth) 09:07:41 night 10:03:32 .title http://grahamcluley.com/2013/11/free-wifi-proxy-revealed-sneakily-bitcoin-mining-unsuspecting-users-computers/ 10:03:33 joepie91: Free WiFi proxy sneakily mines for Bitcoins on unsuspecting users' PCs 10:05:04 *** S1renide (S1renide@cryto-601BFC8A.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com) has joined #crytocc 10:06:25 *** S1renide has quit (User quit: Connection closed) 10:26:33 *** iceTwy (iceTwy@cryto-610769D0.fbx.proxad.net) has joined #crytocc 11:12:32 .bitcoin 11:12:33 1 BTC = $1055.00, 1 BTC = €818.00 11:17:09 ugh.. 11:17:10 Amazon. 11:17:15 http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/dec/01/week-amazon-insider-feature-treatment-employees-work 11:17:17 .title 11:17:18 iceTwy: My week as an Amazon insider | Technology | The Observer 11:44:28 *** Cryto163 (Cryto163@cryto-4C68B15E.hsi5.kabel-badenwuerttemberg.de) has joined #crytocc 11:44:58 *** Cryto163 has quit (User quit: Page closed) 11:58:59 *** mama (me@74D6FC84.7D9BB031.9E9746ED.IP) has joined #crytocc 12:00:53 sheeeeeet 12:46:35 *** iceTwy has quit (Ping timeout) 12:46:45 *** iceTwy (iceTwy@cryto-610769D0.fbx.proxad.net) has joined #crytocc 12:49:48 *** Cryto868 (Cryto868@7EB2096.E5E713CB.E5AA0CC1.IP) has joined #crytocc 12:50:08 BOOOO 12:50:53 QUALCUNO SA DIRMI DOVE POSSO CAMBIARE I MIEI BITCOIN IN EURO 12:51:46 Cryto868: http://howtobuybitcoins.info/, and this is an English-speaking channel 12:51:48 also, 12:51:51 CE QUALCUNO CHE MI RISPONDE?? 12:51:51 .welcome Cryto868 12:51:52 Cryto868: welcome to #crytocc!

I'm not going to rely on third parties for the block chain like Electrum does, which defeats the purpose of Bitcoin. 22:18:15 also, MultiBit is recommended over Bitcoin-QT by the Bitcoin developers 22:18:46 lysobit: Multibit is not the only client that supports SPV 22:18:54 and, uh 22:19:05 reread what you just said about not trusting a node, and using SPV 22:19:07 What other client does? 22:19:09 Electrum 22:19:16 Electrum supports SPV? 22:19:28 it is a SPV client, yes 22:19:46 On the website it states it connects to a central server to get info about the blockchain... 22:20:31 not really central 22:20:34 erm 22:20:38 oh wait 22:21:09 lysobit: definition of a SPV client: A Bitcoin implementation that does not verify everything, but instead relies on either connecting to a trusted node, or puts its faith in high difficulty as a proxy for proof of validity. BitCoinJ is an implementation of this mode. 22:21:25 Is that new? Last time I looked into Electrum it connected to a central server. 22:21:35 well, the community sets up servers 22:21:43 I have set one up myself 22:22:09 and by default, Electrum connects to a random server when it launches 22:22:27 iceTwy: doesn't MultiBit integrate with the main Bitcoin network rather than requiring a seperate set of servers? 22:23:06 http://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet warns about Electrum being untrustwothy, but notso for MultiBit 22:23:08 I actually have no idea 22:23:32 well here's a thing to actually get full trust out of Electrum 22:23:45 connect to an Electrum node via Tor 22:24:09 since the Electrum server side implementation only saves the client's IP, their address(es) and their transactions 22:24:22 you're pretty much anonymous if you use Tor + a new address 22:24:42 Hm? That's anonymity not trust 22:24:58 uh 22:25:05 what else do you want the node to do? ;) 22:25:06 The trust issue is the centralised servers you rely on for blockchain might give you bullshit info 22:25:13 oh 22:25:18 Thus "forging" a transaction 22:25:30 tbh what the relay does is that it passes on info 22:25:34 about the blockchain 22:25:36 no more no less 22:25:46 all it does is to relay your transactions and blockchain headers 22:25:55 /you/ create the transaction, /you/ sign it 22:26:01 so Electrum nodes can in no way modify a tx 22:28:54 It's not about modifying a tx 22:29:31 It's about the Electrum node telling you that a transaction exists that doesn't 22:30:34 and? 22:30:43 'As Satoshi writes, "[the thin client] can't check the transaction for himself, but by linking it to a place in the chain, he can see that a network node has accepted it, and blocks added after it further confirm the network has accepted it." If we take "X" to be the "number of blocks added after it", then SPV essentially trusts that a transaction X blocks deep in the chain does not have inputs 22:30:43 which were already spent further back in the chain. Therefore, the validity of a transaction is determined by its depth -- i.e. how many blocks come after it. Other thin client protocols also include this assumption. ' 22:30:57 well 22:31:05 iceTwy: so someone can pretend that he payed you when he really didn't 22:31:08 paid 22:31:10 it only impacts you -- 22:31:13 was about to say that 22:31:29 but then the node would essentially diverge from the rest of the blockchain 22:31:34 if it forges transaction 22:31:37 s 22:33:21 "The attacker would not need to overpower "the rest of the network" because the client is unable to communicate with it. " 22:33:27 https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Thin_Client_Security 22:33:36 ("In an attack-by-ISP scenario") 22:33:59 I suppose typically it's not a major issue 22:34:41 but Electrum is not even as secure as that 22:34:57 Electrum is a "server-trusting client": All thin clients listed below currently connect to a single server, and are vulnerable to an attack similar to a double-spend. The attack can be run by that single server - the server can just lie to them that they received a Bitcoin transaction, and they, assuming the server does not lie, perform some service, transfer funds or send goods without actually 22:34:58 receiving any Bitcoin in exchange. Therefore, they are implicitly trusting it. 22:35:57 *** mikaa has quit (Ping timeout) 22:36:10 indeed they are 22:36:12 good point 22:36:16 I'm guessing that's why there is a warning about Electrum but not MultiBit on http://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet 22:36:36 *** mikaa (mikaa@mikaa.cryto.net) has joined #crytocc 22:36:58 (that was not my point, it was copypasta from the wiki :P) 23:03:13 *** tintin has quit (Ping timeout) 23:03:28 *** tintin (tintin@tintin.users.cryto) has joined #crytocc 23:11:57 *** complex (litehode@complex.users.cryto) has joined #crytocc 23:17:08 *** GHOSTnew has quit (Ping timeout) 23:31:14 *** GHOSTnew (GHOSTnew@GHOSTnew.users.cryto) has joined #crytocc
