mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo try as i might, i can't fucking recall who the fuck is "blockstream"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the node that was talking to them was 105-112 blocks behind main chain yesterday.
mircea_popescu: turns out centralisation helps when it's a case of "well bitbet goes to mp and mp runs a lot of other things and so... nope." people who only run one thing have it a lot worse.
mircea_popescu: there's a thing about centralisation in that, i suspect.
mircea_popescu: i must say this has been a very instructive experience.
mircea_popescu: shinohai it is a double-spend. all malleated txids are.
mircea_popescu: that takes care of ~150 of the ~700 btc that bitbet's been delayed in paying. we will be getting through the rest during the remainder of today.
mircea_popescu: 9453067e6d34137a4f4cab864dbf801b906e8f6d45f with 13 confirms.
mircea_popescu: sooo... acthung panzers, asciilifeform ben_vulpes mod6 : it is certain beyond any conceivable doubt the trb nodes are isolated - both the publicly advertised ones and at least one not publicly advertised, because lo! what used to be tx e6b8aa9dedef74a7e8961e0d997aebc35aae3c8e762a715336d84b39507c9773 has not only been successfully broadcast but it got malleated, and is now included in the chain as c29e162c79144ced3e827
mircea_popescu: normally i'd say no, but the stuff we've been seeing... dunno anymore.
mircea_popescu: (this extends all the way to all the libraries involved, obv.)
mircea_popescu: alternatively : have you done the noob mistake of compiling for / on one platform, and trying to run on another ?
mircea_popescu: the codebase does include some choice asm bits if memory serves.
mircea_popescu: that's usually a sure sign of a bit of asm being unsuported.
mircea_popescu: s +- 100. i think it can be safely concluded that the number they report is simply a marketing gimmick, not connected to anything.
mircea_popescu: heh derpy okcupid. it has this tab that goes "98 visitors average per week". meanwhile they only keep track of the ~100 most recent visitors. the oldest is from 5:59 am, today. the most recent from 8:57 am, also today. so in about 3 hours i get 100, but "on average" during a week i get 98. it's been pretty much like this for at least two weeks now, give or take 5k a week average each day, which they've been reporting a
mircea_popescu: not going into the details of "if you don't know how to tie a woman, don't try and wing it for the derpy fishwrap that hired you because 'who'd ever know'. people know."
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.gabriel_laddel.2:285099d09e499df1658b7e4e6856a2674ffc19d177d10fe58f147f4c70924f54
mircea_popescu: !rate gabriel_laddel 2 almost a year later, he got a larger chunk of exercise ball down his gullet than anyone i know of.
mircea_popescu: !rated gabriel_laddel 2 almost a year later, he got a larger chunk of exercise ball down his gullet than anyone i know of.
mircea_popescu: punkman but it's not necessarily surprising seeing the orphanage burner patch.
mircea_popescu: hey asciilifeform is dulap significantly (~100 blocks) behind the chain ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: possibly they are, i dunno. even so, they discuss two different things.
mircea_popescu: now, there MAY be something broken in there somewhere, but i'm not tooled to chase it.
mircea_popescu: since it is questioned about the tx and sends the tx, it necessarily knows about the tx
mircea_popescu: punkman mno. that is an unrelated issue of a 2nd tx. again, it's not surprising, seeing how trb handles chains.
mircea_popescu: punkman we know for a fact everyone in trb DOES have it in their mempool, actually.
mircea_popescu: mno, they accepted one and rejected the rest (which is unsurprising for trb, seeing how the rest were chained on the one)
mircea_popescu: "... then we'd be out of what we hope to be a very good job". welcome to the exact reason why we accepted "intellectual property" in the first place. and now here we sit, both with the problem unresolved and with the massive infrastructure of the not-working fix for it in place. hurr durr, i wonder what's the problem with western civilisation. it must be the womenz fucking niggaz!
mircea_popescu: "it can not be specified because we don't want to fix it because we don't want anyone to understand how it works because..."
mircea_popescu: massiro follow the link, there's a list there selected for you.
mircea_popescu: ironically, this is known of exponentials, they're "too low" in the early middle and too high in the end. but then again, it is known by people who know shit, such as how to design games that people enjoy playing, not by people who don't know jack, such as microsoft-excel based cryptographer-hermits.
mircea_popescu: you're not supposed to use "txids" for anything, but whatever. as discussed yest, this goes up all the way.
mircea_popescu: yeah, until karpeles lied about an imaginary cause of stealing people's bitcoin, the other dudes working on wrecking bitcoin didn't have a good excuse. hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: i've been broadcasting it all night to the trb nodes, you can ask any of them, they should still have it in the memory.
mircea_popescu: that's what we're currently trying to debug. why the e6b8 one, which spends a single input from the 83e2 one, is not making it through.
mircea_popescu: fucking stop and think about sometime before you agree with usg's moles about ever novel ways to fuck up the one thing that threatens their continuous existence.
mircea_popescu: hey everyone : do you realise NEXT time you all "consensus" idly over some stupidity, it may mean MORE than 600 btc delayed for MORE than a week because of your agreement to "changes" ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller that was kakobrekla's theory as to what the problem was previously. however currently, there's a transaction that has 100 confirms, and it's being spent, and it still doesn't get through. so no, that couldn't be it.
mircea_popescu: ima keep the present situation up, where they have monopoly on a juicy tx for a little longer in case anyone wants to trace the network/debug/whatever. but i can't keep it forever like this.
mircea_popescu: i would say this is proof positive that they are in fact isolated on the network, somehow.
mircea_popescu: so basically, my node sent to trb nodes, trb nodes have it in memory but it's not being broadcast past them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform never you mind the complaint of 20421a3f19. the point is, e6b8aa9ded itself.
mircea_popescu: this time, the antecedent transaction is clearly in the chain
mircea_popescu doesn't know what to think atm, maybe it's some weirdo bug in the trb ? maybe what the shit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but can you confirm whether e6b8aa9dedef74a7e8961e0d997aebc35aae3c8e762a715336d84b39507c9773 IS in your memory pool and for some reason dulap/etc are not transmitting it, or whether it's not in the mempool at all ?
mircea_popescu: e6b8aa9dedef74a7e8961e0d997aebc35aae3c8e762a715336d84b39507c9773 is chained off 83e2b80e96919cb0b0186ff8ba7225d25535ad722ec5e2343a3a5927ef85d735 and you do see that.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's a chain of them, you'd not see the bottom if you don't see the top.
