floodyberry-

when he invites you to get in on the ground floor of an amazing opportunity, I suggest you take him up on it. He's rich so it definitely won't be a scam!

"legit persons" are always materializing out of thin air with $100m+ and a "legit project" that is just a content-free web page. I will definitely be surprised when "thomasg.eth" uses this publicity to generate interest in his "legit project" and then rugpulls

He's not going to share it with you

People considering him a genius as opposed to a narcissist who accidentally got rich likely fuels his need to drop nuggets of "wisdom" to the peasants like this.

I don't need to pretend, you are quite unhinged lol

Keeping the government from "seizing" assets is a big crypto goal, and avoiding taxes is included in that for a subset of users (which is "theft" if you agree with them). What to do with actual theft is kind of swept under the rug until it actually happens to a cryptobro, at which point they are very much in favor of a central authority getting their bitcoins or ugly monkey jpegs back.

You're literally on the "rich people are better than" site

Generally, come up with a set of operations that you want to use that meet your design criteria (fast in hardware, fast in software, fast in SIMD, whatever), then brute-force the instruction order and/or arbitrary constants (rotations) to minimize known attacks and maximize diffusion

e.g. the Chacha20 design document explains the choices made in a fairly high level and easy to understand way: https://cr.yp.to/chacha/chacha-20080128.pdf

As the fumes from the glue entered the lungs and made it's way through the bloodstream, a magical thought formed: "Canceling Joe will be the West's Free speech Kristallnacht".

"Show off your half baked idea and get a high paying executive job"

Yeah, sure, I'll get right on that

both opinions can be true. graham is a self important gas bag _and_ twitter doesn't care about spam

So you think Neil is being "egotistically fragile" by having Spotify decide between him and Rogan because he "hates" Rogan?

"SEO" is pure marketing whose sole purpose is to sell you a worthless product. The article says nothing you will ever need to know and it, and all other "SEO" "content", should be blocked as spam

If a 30% drop from insanely overpaid to highly overpaid doubles how long you have to work until you "retire" _and_ you feel the need to whine about this fact in public, the solution is simple: thank god every day that being an entitled asshole is not a crime

With zero knowledge proofs, you do have their transaction histories, and you can verify that they are consistent, you just can't tell who the parties are or the values they're transacting

There is no future in third party analytics because any "blockchain" that is globally adopted and used for more than shitcoin speculation will be zero knowledge

There was no substantial justification given for changing their opinion. IF it was an honest post, it was entirely unconvincing

> Sure, they're fast (on current hardware), but they're supposed to be cryptographic hash functions.

Performance has nothing to do with whether a hash function is "cryptographic"

> I know that BLAKE received some scrutiny in this regard

BLAKE was one of the most, if not _the_ most, analyzed SHA3 entries.

"Keccak received a significant amount of cryptanalysis, although not quite the depth of analysis applied to BLAKE, Grøstl, or Skein"

https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2012/NIST.IR.7896.pdf

> making the claims to security less and less sensible.

BLAKE2/3 are not completely new algorithms. They fine tune features from the previous version to be more lightweight while still remaining cryptographically sound

> The SHA3 security margin can safely be decreased, as NIST set the security requirements too high. This is one of the reasons for the speed difference.

BLAKE and Keccak have roughly equal security margins, which is one reason why BLAKE2/3 can still be secure while being faster than BLAKE.

> This means that Blake's security would be less sure even had it received the same level of scrutiny.

So since it arguably received more, does that balance things out?

Addition being slower in hardware and much more expensive to mask against side channels is a serious argument against ARX constructions, but that isn't really relevant here

> After failing to monetize any healthy habit apps, I decided to work on reducing harmful habits, hoping this would be easier to monetize.

effects don't matter, making money matters

I believe you meant to say "of course, they are not extremely smart at computers like me, so they do not deserve to live". Don't worry, everyone posting here agrees with you!

Do you think he scours the internet for idiots who defend him so he can give them lots of money, or is this more of a kink situation where you get off on defending the rich in general?

We don't agree. What is the best way to contact you so that you can start enriching me?

A thoroughly uninformed or malicious comment

The article is merely the author bloviating about himself for attention (which appears to be his main goal in life). Unless everyone else here is also "famous" and giving each other tips on how to deal with it, there is no useful discussion to be had other than informing everyone their attention is being grifted

Cryptographic operations can take hundreds of thousands of cycles during which the values can be freely read. The cache will stay stale after the values have been cleared for _longer_ than that?

Which would be more difficult, reading the secret at some point before the memory was cleared, or reading it _after_ the memory was cleared, but _before_ the cache was overwritten?

Not enough, since his entire gimmick appears to be 'selling himself' and it's gotten him gainful employment at somewhere that you think would know better

A vapid essay on "fans and haters" being discussed merely because of who wrote it would be art if anyone involved realized it

I believe you meant to say that yes, it is contradictory, and both Oracle and their lawyers don't care about what is right, just what they can get away with

Without explaining why you have no confidence, you appear to have no idea what you are talking about
