trinque: I'm always curious whether people had a net gain mining
shinohai: I was cleaning out my computer junk, found these two old gridseeds I bought like 2 years ago
shinohai: I was thinking doorstop
ben_vulpes: whoa okay yeah it werkz. i don't.
ben_vulpes: i are a dorp
ben_vulpes: guys i dont understand the first thing about computers
ben_vulpes: welp i hosed this gentoo somehow
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> BingoBoingo: ~noble~ << I prefer the dynamite guy.
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: any other things i should try before backing up my blockchain and resyncing?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I think I wrote that up already. Just didn't call them nobel nodes.
BingoBoingo: I think alf may be onto something with the BIP 14 user agent strings. If nodes are claiming maxint protocol version and not serving a user-agent string to turd nodes.
ben_vulpes: i think my route forward is to back up the existing blockchain, and resync from one of the noble nodes
punkman: "Well, in my first six movies I was just "Krysta." You know, but then in order to differentiate myself from the 76 other Krystas in the business, I added the "Now." Well, it's all about now, 2008, not next week, not tomorrow. If you wanna fuck me, you can fuck me... now."
trinque: punkman | trinque: how's btcd been behaving btw? << so well I barely notice it
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 15:33:07; mircea_popescu: honestly i'm surprised he's not more publicised. seems just the man to lead a "bitcoin resurection effort" "cryptosecure phone" or whatever other such usg-nonsense
trinque: it might be a simple fix to get it to reconnect better; I just lack the interest to cram yet another c-like language into my head
trinque: rather than strap myself to golang I'm going to jettison it at some point and reimplement the services model in CL
trinque: I like that it's built as a core server and the services are independent of that
trinque: nah this tenyks bot I no longer like
trinque: but anyway, if you'd like a copy, I could give you one ☟︎
mircea_popescu: honestly i'm surprised he's not more publicised. seems just the man to lead a "bitcoin resurection effort" "cryptosecure phone" or whatever other such usg-nonsense ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "The shootout with the police was highly exaggerated and in fact no one was even hit by a bullet, let alone harmed by one. The police knew me and I don't believe their hearts were truly in the shootout, as it is not included in the official report. When I ran out of ammunition, I surrendered quietly and the officers and my self had a cigarette together and joked about my bad aim."
mircea_popescu: this idiocy is actually where i ordered divergence.
punkman: I like how detach means combine into a single file?
asciilifeform: is what i meant.
asciilifeform: could've sworn there was half again as much of it last i looked
mircea_popescu: note that when i stood up an ancient chain, to assuage any conceivable doubts about blockchain contiguity from day one, i let people actually filter it in through the normal process, rather than torrent it.
asciilifeform: anyway i discover to my surprise that the thing has been synced all this time.
asciilifeform: hence when i said '2 day outage'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, what did you think i did before.
shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/DeIjKnl.jpg
mircea_popescu: anyway. the general philosophy of teh interwebs was you know, fault tolerance since day i. "just stand up more nodes" is how one could summarize the internets.
asciilifeform: i have a working hypothesis concerning something other than leprous backbone, but it needs moar test
mircea_popescu: i really don't have a strong opinion on it, but i am pretty certain it's not them making you unreachable.
asciilifeform: i formerly thought this, also
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd prefer this in the form of "running X bit of b-a infrastructure". otherwise...
asciilifeform: i often wonder, any reason not to banhammer folks who won't accept connectback at 8333? if you wanna speak, get out from behind that nat, and be a full node ?
mircea_popescu: i'd like to know who people that discuss what i would like or wouldn't like are. so lemme know.
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 04:46:59; decimation: asciilifeform: oh, thinking about the 'mapTransactions' problem, I think the only real solution is a finite buffer with some kind of fifo
mircea_popescu: i wonder why that is.
kakobrekla: i think you need raw
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1226593 <<< i dunno about you guys but when i was a renter, i had a commando 450 i would use to replace the water saving shower head at every single place i let and would reaffix it at the end of the lease ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'this one takes ten minutes per but is run by a fella i know alive'
decimation: I suppose this aspect of bitcoin too seems to be inevitably centralized/carteled
decimation: but I still think this is true: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-07-2015#1206571 ☝︎
asciilifeform: or i can go to a store.
asciilifeform: i can find 'nice' food on the forest floor.
punkman: I don't see many scenarios where miner can't find nice transactions on his own
decimation: yes but I mean the fees would be collected directly by the node-owner, not paid via miner
decimation: asciilifeform: it is now. earlier when I brought this up he (and jurov) said that it should be decided out-of-band with node owners
n6: trinque: thanks I'm going to read this and try again. first one is dead?
decimation: asciilifeform: I know mircea would like to push it off, but really I don't see a solution to the memory problem without devising some kind of priority mechanism for txns
decimation: asciilifeform: that thread doesn't state specifically, but I assume you are thinking the same (fixed buffer?)
n6: I used AWS on ben_vulpes's recommendation, after failing to get it working on OS X
decimation: I don't think you could fix 'as-is' without heavily fragmenting memory
decimation: which I think you suggested awhile ago
decimation: asciilifeform: oh, thinking about the 'mapTransactions' problem, I think the only real solution is a finite buffer with some kind of fifo ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll see if I can get dentist borther to chime in on the braces, but low hopes for that.
trinque: I'm back
n6: asciilifeform: I tried that but my lack of understanding prevented me from getting it working. went the docs still coulnd't get anywhere.
n6: How can I get the requirments for http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=15-07-2015#1202737 installed on gentoo? ☝︎
decimation: I guess it is in a sealed bottle
decimation: I thought the british gave that to tom cruise
asciilifeform: sop in all civilized nations in 1930s, i thought
asciilifeform: (for all i know, still is)
mircea_popescu: i guess they're not all idiots up at staff office.
decimation: mircea_popescu: I assume this would all happen well into enemy territory
asciilifeform: 'In addition, the two-man rule, which to this day dictates that no individual service member have the ability to arm a nuclear weapon, demanded that Green Light teams divide the code that unlocked the cover plate. But that could present a challenge if the wrong man got killed en route to the target. "Here you were with this hunk of sh-- in your bag and no good place to go," Flavin said. "So we said, 'Eh, I don't think we can a
asciilifeform: 'But when Green Light team member Ken Richter began interviewing potential candidates, he said, not everyone was as enthusiastic: "I had a lot of people that I interviewed for our team. Once they found out what the mission was, they said, 'No, thanks. I'd rather go back to Vietnam.' "'
Michail1: Think I have been here a long ass time, only for logging though.
BingoBoingo: Ah, when I was a puppy I was told that was called "Chicken and Waffles"
decimation: heh yeah. I would consider it if I were to travel abroad
asciilifeform: decimation: idk, i bought a 100 usd piece of paper and was 'processed' by a vending machine that printed 'get out of customs now' pass.
decimation: I've read some tidbits about what happens when vip crossed boarder on private jet
asciilifeform: personally i wouldn't waste so much as one private on the place. glass it.
mircea_popescu: i guess ima have to come with a regiment.
mircea_popescu: i remember learning with some amusement about the kindergarten games usians play in airports
mircea_popescu: and im pretty sure i'd just ignore it
mircea_popescu: i've never been in one of these "lockdown" bullshit things
asciilifeform: (i did have to reseat the boards when took it home)
asciilifeform: (or, with reasonable premium, i would deliver)
decimation: lolz. I assume it's a 'blank spot' for you cd drive maybe?
asciilifeform: i want ten!
asciilifeform: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTQwMFgxMzM0/z/JzIAAOSwfcVUE2~c/$_57.JPG
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I had no idea
trinque: at any rate, I never suffered under the delusion that the folks around me were any measure of sane
trinque: (I went to another due to a magnet program)
asciilifeform: i did attend a school which as a result of the latter forbade... backpacks.
decimation: as a kid in the early 90's I don't remember this being a thing
trinque: as a child with books in his home I remember being quite surprised that this was a thing
decimation: I'm not sure which one assbot will pick to auth
n6: Should have been more careful with my keys this seems like user error on my end rather then somehting wrong with the bot. Why can't I just revoke the subkey with the sec key from the main key?
n6: Where do I go from here?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i entirely expect they will
mircea_popescu: anyway i think assbot should always use the main not some random subkey
BingoBoingo: Fuck I am not drunk enough for this shit.
asciilifeform: '...I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.'
n6: I'm not sure.
n6: I have the private key for the main ID 05D01131 but not 3594E367
n6: I'm not sure says no prviate key, but I thought this was an encrypt only key? at a loss
