mircea_popescu: this will be done eventually, as the article says. but not without its costs.
mircea_popescu: the ~only way to do this in silicone is to make blocksized banks and line them up.
mircea_popescu: 1tb of ram will be overwhelmed by 20mb blocks in a few years.
mircea_popescu: this is an oversight. they want a change, fine, but they must fully commit to it.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag different incentives. as it is now, changing the size doesn't automatically brick all miners.
mircea_popescu: but on the basis of what we currently known, a strict coupling there (4 or less bits of shift) is untractable
mircea_popescu: obviously there's no insurance against future technology.
mircea_popescu: yes there's some economy of scale to be had with well designed flash banks, made each the size of a block etc.
mircea_popescu: the only reason asics exist is because sha256 you can do by hand on paper.
mircea_popescu: if you have a drive that seeks and also updates, why not have a cpu ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag is asic going to store the whole chain ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it's my recollection you can apply it on an endless pile of data, neh ?
mircea_popescu: hehehe. thanks god we are better than that stupid shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, i'm taking the time from my days of orgies and icecream to read this thing.
mircea_popescu: well the v is well designed to be forgiving and helpful.
mircea_popescu: understand : you can't prevent people from working nor should you try.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless : the grime's still there, and bitcoin would do a lot better with a better logging system
mircea_popescu: this has on one side exposed a lot of the underlying grime, and on the other side is bugging your centralist mind because you don't want to read thousands of lines of patchwork.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag lemme summarize this for you. bitcoin eminently keeps shitty logs. a new guy came in and undertood the monstrous task of trying to fix that.
mircea_popescu: polarbeard i dunno that it was expected to either. prolly isn't, really. just, bitcoin code is too layered, random and messy.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag i didn't object to it in principle, but it's also not covered by the new logging model.
mircea_popescu: not to mention assorted garbage like throw runtime_error()
mircea_popescu: polarbeard mno, this is no good, it doesn;t solve the naked return problem. for instance (all from bitcoinrpc.cpp) : return error; at line 44 ; return "bitcoin server stopping"; line 162 sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: Tasoshi looky, im sure you have nice intentions et all, but intentions don't matter. put some actual sweat into it. answer the original question, answer it well rather than flailing around.
mircea_popescu: - return error("BANNED peer issuing unknown inv type.");
mircea_popescu: polarbeard incidentally, did you leave any nude returns ?
mircea_popescu: (miners currently use this incidentally, to some degree)
mircea_popescu: won't be too easy tho, asic needs EVEN MORE ram that way.
mircea_popescu: + printf(SERR SBLK "can't create database file %s\n", strFileRes.c_str());
mircea_popescu: polarbeard aite. ima slog through this, mind you that it's 2k lines will take hours.
mircea_popescu: anyway, as a general comment : next time start the whole process by designing this. it's a great spot to start!
mircea_popescu: and these are prefixed by I W or A for info warn or alert ?
mircea_popescu: phf set up an A record, should do the trick, hopefully.
mircea_popescu: well at this level yes, but we'll see more once i actually go throuygh the list, rulebook in hand.
mircea_popescu: what's your rulebook to know what message goes in which flag ?
mircea_popescu: yes but which flags are used for which kind of messages, how we select the kinds, that sorta thing
mircea_popescu: well we're not there yet, so far just asking how you designed it / how you selected the list etc.
mircea_popescu: because if i want to search my logs ima have to use your flags.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you see this, but the way the flags are set impacts many people downstream.
mircea_popescu: any idea what these are ? how they were selected ? etc ?
