Learned that this was just a one time sync... Setting up a permanent two-way mirror takes a bit more effort, but can be done with: https://codeberg.org/wl/GithubCodebergMirror 📝 e593d951…

Getting the integration of JoinMarket NG + Jam v2 ready! Here are some automated playwright frontend tests in a realistic regtest environment with other makers. directories, ... An image for alpha testing is built automatically and available for testing: https://github.com/joinmarket-ng/joinmarket-ng/pkgs/conta… #JoinMarketNG

A few days ago, a JoinMarket NG collaborator's GitHub account was deleted without previous warning. The account was a member of the joinmarket-ng organization and had just opened a Pull Request. Now GitHub is asking the collaborator some info but has not restored the account yet. Really annoying, because all the issues and PRs of the collaborator have suddenly disappeared! As always, a good chance to learn and strengthen our weak spots. Here is the complete mirror (code, issues, labels, milestones, PRs, ...) to CodeBerg: https://codeberg.org/m0wer/joinmarket-ng It works automatically using a GitHub personal token with read only access to what's already public. Here is the guide on how to do the mirroring: https://codeberg.org/Recommendations/Mirror_to_Codeberg#4… It did fail at first but ended up working after 3 or so retries. #JoinMarketNG

The problem with insufficient entropy at boot time: > In 2012, researchers scanned the whole internet and harvested public keys from TLS certificates and SSH hosts. They found that a handful of systems had identical public keys, and in some cases very similar keys (namely, RSA keys with shared prime factors): in short, two numbers, n = pq and n′ = p′q′, with p = p′, whereas normally all ps and qs should be different in distinct modulus values. After further investigation, it turned out that many devices generated their public key early, at first boot, before having collected enough entropy, despite using an otherwise decent PRNG (typically /dev/urandom). PRNGs in different systems ended up producing identical random bits due to a same base entropy source (for example, a hardcoded seed). From the book Serious Cryptography. F

> The 2G standard also defined A5/2, a cipher for areas other than the EU and US. A5/2 was purposefully weaker to prevent the use of strong encryption everywhere. From the book: Serious Cryptography. So basically they made 2G A5/1 cypher insecure accidentally, but from the beginning designed a weaker A5/2 for the rest of the world on purpose...

Hi @waxwing ! Any way I can reach out to you for some questions about JoinMarket development? Tried email and telegram but I think you're not active there anymore.

Any ideas on how to address this? https://github.com/m0wer/joinmarket-ng/issues/47 maybe @waxwing ? #joinmarket
