mike_c: as update, my 0 orphan test didn't go anywhere (stopped cold at block 500). So I'm trying now with
a 50 block orphan cache. I think the right number is proportional to the # of connections you have.
decimation: "Caldwell was being interviewed as
a part of the annual State of the Net Conference in Washington, DC. One minute, she was vilifying encryption; the next, she was sending
a message to the country’s citizens and companies that they need to be “more conscious of cybersecurity.” “They need to be assuming they are vulnerable, assuming their data can be taken,” she said"
decimation: yeah I feel sorry for folks caught in such
a chumpatron
trinque: decimation: my biz employs
a friend who was thoroughly stomped by the... incidentally texan justice system for sending
a prank email
decimation: it's the fact that you will never be employed by
a non-sleazy person again
decimation: why don't these kind of people with
a brain just leave the country?
pete_dushenski: jurov hmm. i don't believe that there's
a requirement to publish annual reports for private corporations.
felipelalli: asciilifeform: ahahahah. fair. are you writing
a better one?
pete_dushenski: mike_c even though i won't be there, that's
a sublime idea
mike_c: conference this year should definitely include
a poker game
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: i never wanna see
a regex search and replace again
felipelalli: ben_vulpes: and do you guys can point an specific relevant conversation about that?
a day? month? Or just dig, dig, dig? :)
trinque: jesus christ dude, use
a pastebin
felipelalli: would work similar as silver works to the economy (silver have ~ 777B market cap in
a quick search I just made, not too much compared with gold but it is enough). Even if this coin have only 5 or 6% of total bitcoin value, it could be useful to "don't stop the world" when bitcoin is under attack or maintenance. --- If I am wrong about that, I could write about what this is
a bad idea and altcoins are bad at all.
felipelalli: to "confiscated" the gold (I heard about that but I have to study more deeply). I came to this conclusion because I know bitcoin can't be available 24/7 forever. It will eventually fail in some situation (for example during
a bad made hard fork - either because Gavin's gang spoiled or not) and at that time everybody should already is using some strong second coin to be used as backup during
a temporary "bitcoin blackout". I think this coin
felipelalli: material. I know I can search on Google but I guess you guys already have selected that "cherry cake" about this theme. Trying to summarize: my point is to show the importance (or not) of
a strong coin to be used together with bitcoin. My initial thesis is that in the future (almost) all wallets will work with two (or maybe 3) totally different coins. The second coin would be so important as silver was in the past when the government tried
felipelalli: Then, I can see you guys are talking something about altcoins (I couldn't follow everything), and by change I've been thinking all day about something related to write an article. Actually I've been thinking about it from
a long time ago, and the subject is: << the importance (or not) of
a strong "second" coin >> and I'd love to read the most I could about it (altcoins, sidechain, and related) and I'm sure you guys have have
a plenty of
cazalla: he's fucking game laying next to it for
a nap, pigs are known for rolling and crushing the piglets
assbot: This Couple Thought They'd Adopted
a Mini Pig—But It Turned Out to Be

davout: trinque: that & is just
a pointer to function
Naphex: davout: hehe,
a bit maybe. because of the method chaining
trinque: given the right set of first principles in
a system so many things become trivial
trinque: via
a foreign data wrapper
jurov: schema is subject to change irl and there be dragons. but i presume with btc it isn't
a problem, no changes expected
trinque: I once wrote
a thing that'd dynamically generate schema for production rules of
a given grammer given the relational representation of that grammar, and
a dynamic to-string in the other direction
trinque: and you can write dynamic code even that will build out schema for you because there's
a system catalog to reference
trinque: davout: well shit,
a lot of derps try to turn it into
a key value store
davout: trinque:
a lot of rdbms will let you do relational algebra, it's just that people don't use it
cazalla: BingoBoingo, but you encouraged him! i'm not too fussed on altcoins but i would've made mention how foolish redditors were to believe
a jew was going to give away 5 million
trinque: I had
a mentor burn rdbms into my mind indelibly; it's as right and overlooked as lisp
trinque: the system catalog is there for
a reason
Naphex: mircea_popescu: whats dummer is that looks like
a table for machine learning
mircea_popescu: really, usg : hire smarter people. i know that obama was wildly successful by promising
a bunch of losers unprecedented financial incentives to voice for him, and i know that for that reason it WORKS for him to do all sorts of patently idiotic shit, like most recently claiming that inviting the president of israel "breaks protocol" because it could be seen as supporting
a side in the coming elections, while his staff i
mircea_popescu: "here's how we extrapolate data in the past to create
a dataset which we arbitrarily call historical, on which we extrapolate
a future. and here's how we've fixed it all to look
a certain way. no matter that anything put through this mixer would look like
a golf club, including most random distributions"
mircea_popescu: so...
a) correlation = causation ; b)i've doctored the data so correlation = the causation i wish to see.
mircea_popescu: gambling bubble of 2012/2013. This has only
a minor effect on the 2014/2015 portion of the data."
mircea_popescu: heh, the gavin idiots. "The chart below illustrates the growth in the number of transactions per day along with Bitcoin's market cap1. There is
a strong correlation between the two variables2. If the correlation continues to hold, it suggests that the 1 MB blocksize limit may also limit Bitcoin's future liquidity and adoption. 1I've plotted the number of transactions excluding popular addresses to remove the on-chain
Naphex: "I was just let go from reddit because cryptocurrency is not
a part of reddit's near-term plans. This is unfortunate, but understandable."
assbot: I was just let go from reddit because cryptocurrency is not
a part of reddit's near-term plans. This is unfortunate, but understandable.
ben_vulpes: oh man if this kills reddit i'm going to pop
a hernia laughing
pete_dushenski: Yum calculated that the transferred coins were worth
a total of $13.4 million.
assbot: I was just let go from reddit because cryptocurrency is not
a part of reddit's near-term plans. This is unfortunate, but understandable.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform that bashed quote is
a clean cut, nicely done
pete_dushenski: nLockTime is
a parameter that can be attached to
a transaction, that mandates
a minimal time (specified in either unix time or block height), that before this time, the transaction cannot be accepted into
a block.
mircea_popescu: hings necessary to implement this functionality in
a secure fashion are already in place, which Bitcoin Core should have done as well."
mircea_popescu: "btcd won’t be supporting the command because it is completely unauthenticated and insecure as pointed out numerous times on the initial pull request. In response to these concerns,
a section entitled “Authentication” was added to the BIP which attempts to address the concerns by simply calling them out along with some potential modifications that could happen in the future. However, we prefer to wait until the t
cazalla: maybe the spanish kid 2 doors down as
a kid was not spanish then, nfi, that is what he use to call his grandfather
mircea_popescu: the woodcollector guy spending weeks producing 10s of k's of words
a day on the topic of nothing at all being the prototype for how that works.
mircea_popescu: and
a lot of political entrenchment and noncontent sprouting for pages.
kakobrekla: well good music is like
a drug if thats what you meant
mircea_popescu: trinque: I'm starting to itch for
a sqlite+deturdolatedbitcoind experiment <<< wha happened to deedbot ?
ben_vulpes: davout shouldn't even be
a concern for
a "node"
davout: ben_vulpes: bitcoind doesn't provide any way to retrieve
a list of unspent outs for
a key that's not in your wallet
trinque: davout: right, if I use
a wallet, wallet does everything for me
davout: trinque: if you import
a private key into bitcoind you'll get the 'listunspent' call, don't know about btcd
trinque: davout: we did not find
a way to just "get all utxos" from btcd, could've overlooked something obvious. barring that, I can roll forward from the block where it was first funded and just chew on all the transactions from there forward looking for relevant ones
trinque: since the thing publishes once an hour, rolling forward doesn't seem that big
a deal
davout: TheNewDeal: blockchain.info failed miserably at detecting them for
a while, don't know if that's changed since, but afaik it's perfectly standard, and nodes will relay them
trinque: and then back to my rant re: holy shit this is
a trivial query with well-structured data
trinque: say I send
a transaction, get one confirmation, then the thing still ended up on the losing fork
davout: when i have the addy to spend to for notarization, create
a raw tx spending from that, and sending all the change back to the original address
davout: trinque: do you intend to run
a full client for deedbot's needs?
fluffypony: if you receive
a transaction with an NLOCKTIME in the future is that part of your balance or the sender's balance?
trinque: and would that be
a concern of something trying to ascertain
a balance
trinque: davout: what kind of transaction does not involve
a pubkey?
davout: some implementations will let you store the DB in
a SQL store iirc
davout: not all transactions are
a transaction to
a pubkey
davout: trinque: "you'd just query the outputs table for your pubkey where none are referenced by an input's output_id field" <<< it's
a bit more complicated than that
trinque: I actually thought lorde was
a made-up singer until recently
TheNewDeal: south park did
a pretty good episode with iggy, lorde, and nicki minaj
gribble: You rated user danielpbarron on Tue Jan 20 11:03:44 2015, with
a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: crypto-priest.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo fwiw, you're both prolly making too much of this. <<< not reary, i don't think anyone made
a big deal of it, but i'm thankful BingoBoingo and danielpbarron were able to point out this guy's lies same day i left for holidays
mod6: we appreciate all the help that the attendants of #b-
a have given to the foundation & the effort to decruft the R.I.
mod6: well, for instance if you received the blocks out of order, and then you got the child of 144,000
a few after some others, then it can't continue
ben_vulpes: i don't have
a contract with those people, i'm not bound by any line of text they write.
