ben_vulpes: well
there is
the protocolitic commitment
that if
the
transaction is included,
the miner will receive a fee, but
that's it.
ben_vulpes: is
the cask system design necessarily exclusive of a mempool design?
ben_vulpes: and
there's no way
to get
transactions into blocks absent casks, right?
ben_vulpes: yes, you walked
the promises side of
the problem exhaustively.
ben_vulpes: subject of
trbi, did i miss a way for a parent
to cancel a cask ask shy of fibbing?
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, recall our ancient discussion re "buried nodes" and my reluctance ? dja understand HOW MANY OF
THESE
THERE ARE, silent unknown failure modes ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: rotation and
timestamping.
ben_vulpes: this is a desirable situation?
that
trb logging include
timestamps and shit into log
that which came from whom?
ben_vulpes: aight, aight, i forget
that i'm
the only person using svlogd
ben_vulpes: off
the cuff, would an exponential whine backoff suck?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: congrats
to you, you did all
the hard work.
tank brigade goes nowhere without
the engineers laying down bridgework
ben_vulpes: it is what,
ten minutes of work
to set
the master up
ben_vulpes: i don't have a master in place yet, but i am also willing
to extend wire peerings
to my l1
ben_vulpes: hey hey! i've got a node wired up
to dulap.

to pluto and you'll stay
there.)
PeterL:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-04#1621939 << I am not sure
this would happen, you would still have
to verify
the blocks - unless you have absolutely no connection
to anybody else, in which case you would be equally stuck under current conditions
☝︎ mircea_popescu: it's about my own conclusion. i'd say it belies
the need for some fixing.
mircea_popescu: so
the working
theory being,
that a) node spent ~weeks
trying
to digest block 419221 and failing ; b) eventually managed but by
then not able
to obtain
the next one because of reasons discussed except ; c) recently it managed
to briefly connect
to
the magic node it would
talk
to and get another 100 or so blocks ?
mircea_popescu: phf unsurprising ; indian industrialization happened mostly under
the soviet... "influence".
phf: back
then su was pumping resources into india, but according
to su economic strategy
that mostly resulted in factories and hospitals. now americans are pumping resources, but
that mostly results in moar mcdonalds. so naturally men with long memories are
testy
☟︎ phf: it means indians and russians are brothers, and is a slogan for soviet/indian friendship from about 50s
to 80s
phf: in related lulz i got a lot of "soviet union was a good
thing" from conversations with indians. a lot of older indians seem
to hate americans and miss
the good old "bhai bhai" days
phf: what i'm
trying
to say is "hindi rusi bhai bhai" :p
phf: also i can't really go back
to
the cave. it's
the
time
to buy gifts, and pack shit up.
phf: i'm mostly reacting
to "things missing" bit. i otherwise would like
to remain ignorant of going ons in
the world, until i'm forced into interracting with it again in a few days
mircea_popescu: now
then ;
the reason i even looked at
this node is
that i was going
through a list of potential candidates
to put in
the new asciilifeform ssh
thing.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the problem with "request block by height" is
that
the block height is an ambiguous identifier of actual blocks.
