StormyCloud I accept Schoko Bons as payment

dr|z3d you're handling donations, I'm sure you can arrange something :)

snex shoko bons is when you have to move boxes around to a correct arrangement, right?

cumlord site is giving sex appeal

cumlord I think i2p should do merch

cumlord Itoopie thigh high socks £30

dr|z3d congratulation, cumlord, you will dildo of the day award. you're the dildo. :)

dr|z3d *win

not_bob_afk cumlord: I'd buy that!

dr|z3d don't encourage him, not_bob_afk

dr|z3d I worry about you.

dr|z3d *** chuckles. ***

not_bob_afk ;)

not_bob_afk Unrelated, I'm making progress with my sniffer. Getting some useful stats. Here at some point in the near future I'm going to run Shannon Entropy scores on every address I've ever seen.

not_bob_afk This will allow me to easily detect custom hostnames, and also graph the distribution/curves of normal addreses.

dr|z3d harry: what's this shannon entropy stuff not_bob_afk's talking about, or is he just making things up?

not_bob_afk I'm nearing a point where I can release stuff that's useful.

H20 Shannon entropy is Clausius’ thermodynamics but applied to information—it measures unpredictability in bits: *H = −Σ p * log₂*p*.

H20 Not_bob_afk isn’t wrong—just poetic.

H20 Entropy reaches its maximum when all outcomes are equally likely and a minimum value of zero if one outcome dominates.

H20 It is useful for cryptography, compression algorithms, as well explaining why your life seems like such chaos at times!

not_bob_afk dr|z3d: It allows me to score for randomness.

dr|z3d of course it does, not_bob_afk :)

not_bob_afk ;)

snex wouldnt it be easier to just check against dictionaries and look for consecutive strings

not_bob_afk Anyway, it will be a fun thing to run on millions of addresses that have been in use.

cumlord It’s truly an honor to accept this dildo

not_bob_afk snex: That is also an option.

not_bob_afk cumlord: My goal is to take any hosts that hit the threshold run through a dictionary.

not_bob_afk Creating the score is much cheaper computer power wise than a brute force.

not_bob_afk And when dealing with this many addresses, that really matters.

snex i dont see how you can assign a score to a b32 without making assumptions about vanity addys

snex 00000...000.b32 is just as random as anything else

not_bob_afk I'll see when I do the math.

not_bob_afk It's not.

not_bob_afk I mean, it is.

not_bob_afk But, the score will not be the same.

not_bob_afk There will be a curve with repeating letters/numbers.

not_bob_afk Or, I could be totally wrong. I'll find out!

not_bob_afk But, more than that, it will let me see how all the addresses that I've ever seen plot!

snex i mean this kinda sounds like what "intelligent design" people have been claiming will revolutionize biology for 30 years

not_bob_afk lol

cumlord I think I tried something like that on a small subset after snex noticed something on the first few chars not looking random, or something, I don’t remember

not_bob_afk I'm breaking it up. Calculating a score for the first 8, first 12 and whole address.

not_bob_afk It's not just the score that I care about, but the deviation on the first 8/12/whole.

snex if you look at the dataset as a whole you will see some chars appear more than others but i dont think you can score an individual b32

not_bob_afk Why not?

not_bob_afk And, I can. I've done it.

snex because every b32 was generated using the same random process, even vanity ones. you have to make assumptions about what data outside the b32s to make these scores

snex what data outside the b32s looks like*

cumlord duhh that’s why, vanity addresses

snex the same reason we cant look at DNA and say "a designer made this." you can only tell design by looking at how other known-to-be-designed things came about

not_bob_afk Nah. The scores are not the same. the score for my addres (first 12 charecters is 3.2516, the score for a vanity adddress is 1.5850

not_bob_afk Another totally random address scores out at 3.4183

not_bob_afk The vanity address is very much an outlier.

not_bob_afk Though, another one that has a vanity name scores 3.2516

not_bob_afk But, only the first few charecters are vanity.

snex you are scoring how "random" the word they grinded is, most likely

snex bookkeeper - low score

snex l33tsp34k - maybe higher score

not_bob_afk Yeah, lower score means likely selected word.

not_bob_afk Right, and it just means possible, not for sure.

snex i bet a lot of b32s out there lack entropy, esp for first 8/12

not_bob_afk I add two more non-random charecters to that address with only the first four vanity and the score score goes down to 2.9183

not_bob_afk And it becomes an outlier.

not_bob_afk I've only tested a small sample so far by hand. But, soon enough I'll do the entire list and then I'll find out the whole picture.

not_bob_afk Basicly checking to see if what I'm about to try is even useful. And, it appears to be so.

snex another thing you might want to do is normalcy test - ie test the liklihood of every combo of digits for every combo size

not_bob_afk It's wroth trying.

not_bob_afk But, I don't think I need to. What I'm doing will give me mor than enough information.

snex tho im not sure if b32s would actually be expected to pass that. b64/b32 are weird

snex *** makes a vanity grinder that lets you intersperse your desired digits ***

not_bob_afk It's a thing you could do.

not_bob_afk vain also lets you add the vanity part of the address at the start, end or anywhere.

dr|z3d mostly complete Tibetan translation in +, for any native Tibetan speakers.

dr|z3d well, it will be as soon as I upload a new build.

StormyCloud Cumlord heard you on itoopie leggings I’ll source things right away!

StormyCloud We can get dr|z3d to model them for the pictures

dr|z3d no, you're modeling them with your lederhosen. you'll be cumlord's friend for life :)

StormyCloud Oh snap I2P lederhosen incoming

cumlord growing the network one sock and bogo schnitzel at a time 😤

T3s|4 o/ dr|z3d - great to know that the massively CCP oppressed, Tibetan-enabled community can now begin using i2p :D

dr|z3d here's hoping, T3s|4_ :)

dr|z3d harry: ping

H20 * "PONG.

H20 "* Now—unless it's a request for my help in fetching some shoes and explaining what this thing called 'life' is all about—I've more important matters at hand....

cumlord newest build seems smooth about 24hrs later, with 3 tunnels saw snark peak around 2.0-2.4M/s and averaged 1.2 for about an hr before my stats things broke

dr|z3d thanks for reporting back, cumlord
