trinque: stress test seems to prove the system works from where
I sit
trinque: right,
I said this yesterday
mats: '
i dun wanna hold gigs of "spam" on my drive, and nobody else does either'
ascii_field: as
i pointed out before, it is being done for two disjoint reasons. one is so that hearn can write the turd linked above, re: 'it is crowded and we need blocks of $maxint size'
trinque: "
I suspect it can be mitigated through heavier reliance on coin age priority, as coin age is not something that can be trivially bought on the spot, unlike fee priority."
ascii_field: (this was a node,
i must remind the reader, with no mempool, on account of having no net connection and being fed blocks 'intravenously' if you will)
shinohai: For some reason mine has dropped, but probably because
I'm not connecting to a bzillion nodes
ascii_field: everything
i did only ~increases~ bandwidth consumption
ascii_field: shinohai: most of what
i've done re: therealbitcoin so far revolves around getting memory footprint under control
shinohai:
I was hoping my pogo would arrive today, but postman has already come. :/
shinohai:
I am fascinated by how mircea_popescu envisioned that.
I tried for well over a year to figure out how to busybox it.
ascii_field: a pogo, as
i envision it, has much in common with a comm satellite
decimation: but
I do see your point, if we can make the hardware 'reliable'
bagels7:
i'll be your slave for a million dollars on a 5 year basis
☟︎ decimation: at any rate,
I fully admit that bitcoin requires slaves to feed computers the right data and configure them
shinohai:
I should say having one's throat cut invalidates a lot of things.
decimation:
I donno, it strikes me that having a sundial and knowing how to use it (convert to universal time) is a pretty cheap counter
ben_vulpes:
i'm sure you've gone into this in depth, but doesn't the length of the current main chain make that ludicrously expensive?
ascii_field: we already know how to meet and set clocks, last
i checked
ascii_field: anyway, since this thread came back to life,
i will point out that mircea_popescu is right re: the notion of time being necessary for a bitcoin net. but it doesn't have to come from a clock as traditionally understood
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2014 00:44:36; mjr_: by the way, anyone gonna tell me if
i can play this game where
i can buy things with bitcoin?
decimation:
I suppose tragically stupid parents are likely to have slightly smarter children
decimation: re: stupid breeding true <
I thought 'reversion to the population mean' was the general outcome
jborkl: although
I have just been watching from the sideline for a long time (not active)
trinque: then yes,
I see your point
jborkl: The way it has been before, not all nodes have the same amount of txns in mempool -
I never got enough of a explanation to discuss it
trinque: general obedience is what
I see
ascii_field:
i.e. 'champion at exams' vs the other kind.
ascii_field: trinque:
i am certain that, just like everyone else here, you have met both kinds of 'intelligence'
trinque:
I do not follow that definition either
trinque: ascii_field:
I am promting you to define the term instead of merely restating it
trinque: ascii_field:
I don't follow
trinque: mats:
I am not finding a good graph of the russian population per year, yet
I recall ww2 being a temporary blip downward that was rapidly recovered
williamdunne: Recently did some stuff for the BitFinex guys, that wasn't much fun but y'know. Pays for stuff. Think
I'll have more with them in future
williamdunne:
I've never received a job by anything but reference. First job when
I was 14 was a game programmer, second job when 15 was working at a military intelligence company in London doing some infosec and accounting type stuff. Lots of freelancing stuff
williamdunne: ascii_field: not quite, although
I do regret agreeing to do it pro-bono
williamdunne: IKR, the operator was a friend of mine, but he was very concerned when
I sent him the details for a large transaction from themselves to a law firm they employ
williamdunne: gabriel_laddel: About 12 months ago
I was tasked with checking the security of a fiat institution. Within three hours
I had found two different bugs to send money from accounts that weren't mine, and two different bugs to view all account details that weren't mine, and another to see all transaction details that weren't mine.
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel:
i suspected he might have 'went perelman'
ascii_field:
i gotta take my hat off to these folks for sheer effort, but the fact remains that they are scooping out the sea with the proverbial thimble.
ascii_field: 'We have enough bits mapped that we can create a functional verilog model for almost all bitstreams generated by Lattice iCEcube2 for the iCE40 HX1K-TQ144, as long as no block memories or PLLs are used. ' << wake me up when that last part changes. and when
i can get this chip from ten different chinese foundries.
ascii_field: thing
i'm beginning to suspect is that nobody gives half a shit about reversing, or 'security', or any of it
assbot: Logged on 25-06-2015 03:01:25; asciilifeform:
i built it.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: guess where
i'm posting from
mircea_popescu: say "Very gifted reverse engineer, looking for outgoing, persuasive, experienced slut to start hackteam together. You'll have to suck bureaucrat cock to get us contracts,
I'll fill them, we split the loot."
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: from what
i can tell, the 'hackteam' folks were paid hundreds of thousands of euros to do things that
i consider a weekend's work
ascii_field: unlike penguin and gurlz,
i know this from direct observation
mircea_popescu:
i kid you not. but
i do not expect anyone to take this on faith.
mircea_popescu:
i bet half of your coworkers are "secretly" part of one.
ascii_field: picture what would happen if ~
i~ tried to open a 'hackteam'
mircea_popescu:
i dunno, seems more like it was a major alleged client.
davout: ok,
i'll do this, thank yall!
davout:
i have openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz in distfiles
williamdunne: Chinese dumping US stocks now,
I'm presuming. Need to pump some filthy fiat into their own markets
davout: so
i'm trying to build the stator, getting "headers.h:21:27: fatal error: openssl/ecdsa.h: No such file or directory"
ascii_field:
i fully expected this after hearing the cn thing
williamdunne:
I wonder if any sysadmins are gonna jump out of some windows
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 16:45:07; jurov:
i daresay loper machine depends on solved halting problem
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is what powers my disinterest in the matter.
i saw in logs this pov is divergent with teh republic, so
i'll entertain the alternative viewpoint, but just for the sake of records.
ascii_field: (
i assume the truth lies somewhere in those 500 GB...)
mircea_popescu: there is at least one million of them.
i have stopped even trying to count past 100k last year.
mircea_popescu:
i am sure gabriel_laddel proposed "don't do that" won' cut it with alf - but
i am also sure a "sometimes warn before" behaviour would be acceptable.
jurov: if
i learned anything from my haskell stint, it's how computer is utterly bad to manage its memory and other resources
gabriel_laddel: Now,
I think the "language constructs" map directly to routing logic, so the AST "unrolls" onto the hardware
gabriel_laddel: What happens if
I (loop while t do ...) on a von n. arch? it just runs forever. Same thing.
jurov:
i daresay loper machine depends on solved halting problem
☟︎ ben_vulpes: anyways
i don't believe you nobody gets paid to write common lisp lalala
i can't hear you
mod6: <+gernika> mod6
I've attempted syncing on OpenBSD again and am now past block 168000 and have reached 185126. It's going very very slowly though. << good to hear though
☟︎ gernika: mod6

gabriel_laddel: oh, sorry,
I should have made it clear
I was referring to the child pornography thing
gabriel_laddel: what are cat cables and how do
I network computers together without a web browser.
jurov: danielpbarron
i tried electrum, it parsed tx properly
danielpbarron:
i don't think it's even checking the validity of the tx, and is instead rejecting the hex string as being too long;
I can get my 0.5.3 node to give the same error and it doesn't recognize the method
mircea_popescu: what you're saying is basically "
i'm more interested in food that doesn't rely on being digested"
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 05:26:05; asciilifeform:
i'm more partial to cryptocurrency that doesn't rely on clocks.
mircea_popescu: nah jurov
i recall people using their own tools for that throughout
jurov: maybe
i'm mistaken,
i thought it was alwas possible to submit tx
danielpbarron: jurov> danielpbarron: you tried to feed it to 0.5.3.1 << is it possible? when
I type 'bitcoind help'
I do not see the "send raw signed transaction" command
thestringpuller: asciilifeform:
i was more imagining each planet having it's own blockchain, but
I guess that's
