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.
mircea_popescu foresees great cinematic drama, "the brainwallet". where guy gets shot in head, has to recoup his brainwallet.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: actually the topic of how to compare these two props is kinda interesting.
mircea_popescu: "a total of ~200 bitcoins were locked up for ~3 months to provide this determination"
mircea_popescu: "according to bitbet, ethereum has two degrees of magnitude better odds at surviving 2015 than gavin's scamcoin."
mircea_popescu: same time frame, same substantial dispute (altcoin pretending importance). the gavin/hearn idiots have trouble going past 3:100 against them ; ethereum is so far 3:1 or some shit.
mircea_popescu: then again, no velocity was ever a scalar either, doesn't prevent cars from displaying odometers.
mircea_popescu: whenever "someone" aims to engineer faux sell pressure, "someone" gets raped.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is in that range because nobody wishes to sell.
mircea_popescu: stuff like ripple or ether is in the 0.05 range because NOBODY WISHES TO BUY.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference, a major difference at work here.
mircea_popescu: whichy, as he said then and i believed then, set him back a few months of dayjob.
mircea_popescu: so if memory serves he lost like 3.x k worth 10-20k or so.
mircea_popescu: eh, at the time we're discussing nobody in bitcoin had enough money for a spare sandwich.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, being the reason why nobody uses linode to this day.
mircea_popescu: guy at linode ran off with ~5k bitcoin or so. never prosecuted, slush covered out of pocket.
mircea_popescu: eh. tell you what, 4 years ago, when most of the current "experts" didn't know how to spell the name, the guy was hit by the first targetted attack, alongside some others.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the guy's toxic, just, acts the imbecile on occasion.
mircea_popescu: sad that in 2015 you still gotta teach old hands sense with the hot poker.
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.unrate.slush:c6ff2578e04e5100530f440a0ddf17701e43e87010b7eee8128b2c43deaf5233
mircea_popescu: dude, this is so cool, getting to see the 50s first hand from atop a mountain of prime veal and home made black forest ...
mircea_popescu: ahahaha fucktarded gestapo is iliterate so xi ended up with a giant step forward sorta deal ?
mircea_popescu: "In fact it's embarrassing, because everyone who isn't relevant and knows it has an automatic grudge against you." <<< so ? the flailing is amusing.
