asciilifeform: i have a snapshot btw

asciilifeform: ok

asciilifeform: aha that one

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's the height of your node ?

asciilifeform: stalled for a few hrs now

asciilifeform: anything peculiar at 363954 ?

asciilifeform: are there multiple forklets ?

asciilifeform: 363736 on local box -connect-ed to mircea_popescu-node

asciilifeform: in other nyooz, 363954 on dulap

asciilifeform: what kind of reader ~doesn't~ throw exceptions when encountering undefined symbol

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: generally, barring pathological cases, shorter -> better in maths notation

asciilifeform: aha so like ru.

asciilifeform: (comparable on modulus)

asciilifeform: in ru, the numbers are 'сравнимы по модулю'

asciilifeform: whatddaya call it in ro

asciilifeform: 'congruent modulo m'

asciilifeform: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Congruence.html

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in engl. numbertheory books, 'congruence' is the predicate with the 'triple equals sign', ≡

asciilifeform: also looks like somebody's been sending 'extra-long-to-verify' blocks

asciilifeform: so there was a reorg

asciilifeform: ^ from log

asciilifeform: REORGANIZE

asciilifeform: received block 0000000000000000014e

asciilifeform: kinda wondering now if someone is building on top of the orphan chain

asciilifeform: just a very occasional new block

asciilifeform: also interestingly, it has 10 peers and no tx garbage scrolling in debug.log ☟︎

asciilifeform: folks are welcome to try, 195.211.154.159:8333

asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://getaddr.bitnodes.io lies and declares that my public node is 'unreachable'

asciilifeform: sure. just keep in mind the amperage of the dc power brick

asciilifeform: anyone else experience this garbage ?

asciilifeform: yet the clock is set correctly. what gives ?

asciilifeform: ERROR: ProcessBlock() : CheckBlock FAILED

asciilifeform: ERROR: CheckBlock() : block timestamp too far in the future

asciilifeform: and plenty of

asciilifeform: "errors" : "Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct. If your clock is wrong Bitcoin will not work properly."

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu node on dulap appears to have unwedged. by itself. or perhaps somebody fed it

asciilifeform: i bought dosimeter to find out precisely on what days i oughtn't to even go the three blocks

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes is sitting under a red sun << one of my most favourite things about b-a voyage was being able to sit in the sun without checking dosimeter or smearing toxic sludge all over my skin

asciilifeform: the one-function-at-a-time thing is like looking through a tank periscope

asciilifeform: navigate by moving eyeballs.

asciilifeform: on my wall.

asciilifeform: I WANT TO SEE ALL OF IT IN FIELD OF VISION

asciilifeform: i've wasted hours clicking through lxr crap

asciilifeform repeats the call for some hero to step up and produce a wall-printable callgraph for therealbitcoin.

asciilifeform: which is why i said 'the last honest game'

asciilifeform: also sank?

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu seems like 'nearlyfreespeech co.' takes btc now.. ☟︎

asciilifeform: whole nato edifice has very little to do with physical reality

asciilifeform: ('80s)

asciilifeform: mats: iirc, the last time u.s. navy played an honest 'war game' with itself, the whole thing sank

asciilifeform: ;;later tell danielpbarron what, if anything, is peculiar about your synced 0.5.x ? (i.e. what patch set it used? to whom connected ? for how long ? when ? ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: (whether there can be such a guarantee at all is questionable. but at present, enemy has a slight information advantage, as he's been crapping in that thing since possibly before day 1)

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1187470 << what i was saying there bears repeating. if we had a fleet of pogos deployed, they would ~all~ be paperweights now. and for so long as we use the cpp turd, there can be no guarantee of this kind of thing not happening in the future. ☝︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: the sooner this happens, the more likely it is that i will have some time to actually work on this today

asciilifeform: danielpbarron, mod6, anybody with a SYNCED 0.5.x node: please consider blkcut ( http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-July/000113.html ) -ing your most recent blkxxxx and uploading a tarball of the last 500 or so blocks

asciilifeform: in order for the narrative to turn into 'dog bit, we shot it'

asciilifeform: the essential heart of the algo is that the 'kicking' must somehow 'not count'

asciilifeform: it worked great in the past: u.s. civil war; u.s. vs japan; u.s. vs korea; vietnam; and so on

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-07-2015#1188084 << this is known, from mr mold's articles, as the 'kick the dog till it bites then shoot it' algo ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: if you're gonna take a shot at a lizardman, don't shoot for the knee!

asciilifeform: pretty basic, but there are still folks who do not understand.

asciilifeform: in general principle: destroy backups (the morons often make this possible!), produce leaks from which there ~can be no recovery~, etc ☟︎

asciilifeform: sony-style

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-07-2015#1188163 << this is why, when dealing with a usg-powered entity, the correct procedure is not 'disclosure', which will be censored and hushed up; but - total annihilation ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-07-2015#1188151 << do those even come in the form factor used by pogo? might be interesting to try ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: ^ extra-lulzy

asciilifeform: 'Topic for #musl is: http://www.musl-libc.org | Ask questions; treat others with respect; stop off-topic discussions for musl questions; do not publish logs; no sexism, homophobia, or other forms of asshattery.' ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-07-2015#1188100 << l0l! ☝︎

asciilifeform: so yes, both of my 0.5.x nodes are still firmly wedged. no sign of attempted 'reorg', nothing.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-07-2015#1188139 << the few i've spoken with personally did not seem especially happy re: their home being used as usg's 'unsinkable aircraft carrier' ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-07-2015#1188105 << i've always said to phriends who played 'grind mmporgs' : 'there is a uranium mine somewhere missing a man. you are that man' ☝︎

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu node on dulap is still wedged. and apparently this is not a terribly good place for a node, phuctor gets i/o-starved and dies ☟︎

asciilifeform: !s Urbach

asciilifeform: ;;later tell lobbes might want to adjust that thing so it doesn't cycle when www comes down and then up

asciilifeform: 0

asciilifeform: what else

asciilifeform: w4r3z

asciilifeform: mostly readable last anybody's tried, even.

asciilifeform: my brother owns a coupla GB in floppies in his house

asciilifeform: ;;later tell danielpbarron wouldja mind dumpblock-ing a few blx at the wedgepoint ? ty

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1187601 << ! ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'i learned that... they don't recycle pigeons.' (tm) (r) ('red meat')

asciilifeform: can rebuild with it, but what is there for it to eat ?

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: just like my first sync-with-mircea_popescu experiment box

asciilifeform: this is running a classic 'stator'

asciilifeform: no sign of attempted 'reorgs', nothing but churning mempool shit

asciilifeform: none of which undertake to supply so much as one block

asciilifeform: 2) it addnode-s mircea_popescu's box and from there gets maxint seeds

asciilifeform: 1) it's 363736

asciilifeform: read the code plz.

asciilifeform: no irc!!!!

asciilifeform: but nothing remotely suggesting that a block of any description tried to appaer.

asciilifeform: mempool garbage by the megatonne, just like my earlier node

asciilifeform: 8 peer connections

asciilifeform: blocks just not happening.

asciilifeform: no 'reorgs', nothing

asciilifeform: (and yes, it '-addnode's mircea_popescu's. so theoretically, could unwedge. but no)

asciilifeform: to nobody's surprise, firmly wedged
