mircea_popescu: hey cazalla : i need a noob crafter to make me a tool in eulora, hopefully get some recipe copies.
mircea_popescu: adlai what is your notion of "never" and "another message" anyway.
mircea_popescu: well that;s kinda people publish it rather than passing it along on a p2p basis. saves them the effort of evaluating everyone's antics.
mircea_popescu: sooner than later you'll find yourself chasing your tail because of it.
mircea_popescu: trinque other than the silliness of trying to force people to do things, the more general problem with not publishing code is that it creates a world of perverse incentives for one,
mircea_popescu: eh, forcing people do things isn't the best strategy anyway.
mircea_popescu: "The algorithm is memory hard, you'll need at least 1+GB of RAM on each GPU"
mircea_popescu: Codename Frontier, the initial live release of Ethereum consist of Geth, the Command Line Interface written in Go, and nothing else. At the moment, Geth only includes a CPU miner, and the team is testing a GPU miner branch, but this won't be part of Frontier."
mircea_popescu: "At Frontier, the first release of Ethereum, you'll just need a) a GPU and b) an Ethereum client, Geth. CPU mining will be possible but too inefficient to hold any value.
mircea_popescu: "Techtip is a popular technology tips blog which aims to make your tech life easy by writing about software reviews, productivity and free web apps."
mircea_popescu: trinque btw, you actively working on that otc website equiv ?
mircea_popescu: if anyone actually holds some eth and is willing to lend it out... i'm all ears.
mircea_popescu: (spoiler : boy meets girl at insane asylum. neither is a visitor. she "is an artist". he "is writing a book", about DSM, of course, because what better qualifies one as an expert in the field than being insane.)
mircea_popescu: buttcoin is upset that apparently nobody in bitcoin reads r/bitcoin or cares about reddit celebritits.
mircea_popescu: in other news, "Mass amnesia in effect in/Bitcoin to downplay AbbyGate. No one remembers her...Who?"
mircea_popescu: btw check out BingoBoingo and his rand paul bet. well done bb!
mircea_popescu: dude everyone in english is a leader. apparently leadees not required. they lead lead.
mircea_popescu: "A Tough Day as Leaders" wait wut, who's symantec the leaders of.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bubble butts beckon. i shall return tomorrow!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> utterly illiterate << kids today are used to adding things together. "how many pears do you get adding six ducks to eight nails ?" "14!!!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think while the txn are verified serially maybe the memory for entire block is allocated somewhere ; haven't actually had someone dig into the code for this angle./
mircea_popescu: the instrumentation you need is userspace with specifiable available memory profile.
mircea_popescu: that's why i say someone who has the tools to reason deductively should look at it.
mircea_popescu: this is perhaps chief reason we must have bitcoinos. general purpose memory allocation (ie, not bitcoin optimized) is garbage.
mircea_popescu: it's a complex set of required blocks of allocable memory, and the hope that kernel allocates them correctly.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> btw there are misleading figures circulating re: 'size of the mempool today is 5MB' etc. << word. not a scalar.
mircea_popescu: im pretty certain 367851 is the best block to do it on.
mircea_popescu: if someone new to low level stuff is eager to do some useful spec work, feel free to examine this issue.
mircea_popescu: the kernel thinks it has memory, the program thinks it was allocated memory, the verification fails and the process cycles indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can actually unwedge it. i am satisfied the problem here is a subtle memory issue (not directly related to the bdb locks thing). specifically, to verify block 367851 bitcoind needs a certain amount of CONTIGUOUS memory. but it doesn't know this.
mircea_popescu: at least part of the shitgnome objective ("make it impossible for random derp to run full node") will succeed within less than a year, if not actually successful enough already.
mircea_popescu: ProcessBlock: BASTARD BLOCK, prev=0000000000000000094d, DISCARDED
mircea_popescu: ProcessBlock: BASTARD BLOCK, prev=00000000000000000c64, DISCARDED
mircea_popescu: ProcessBlock: BASTARD BLOCK, prev=0000000000000000094d, DISCARDED
mircea_popescu: maybe like "beautiful mind" only with better conflict.
