williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Oh, and mike did a new trust thingy
williamdunne: Yeah it broke this morning because there was some error checking missing and btctrading broke it
williamdunne: Sure, but even the bottom of my list can expect to be done within 6 months
williamdunne: Kinda pathetic if you've been intending to do something for a couple of years and it still hasn't happened (assuming the only constraint is time)
williamdunne: Yeah not exactly a big software job. Can be done in a few hours if that
williamdunne: Yeah I understand why it was done - not criticizing it at all
williamdunne: It'd be nice if they could connect, especially as they can still verify the signatures on each.
williamdunne: Something about downtime and a vulnerability is what I read on btcalpha but not much detail as to exactly what
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I have no intention of slowing down
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Yeah, I originally quit using them because I could never connect
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: It used to be okay, I wouldn't want to use it now but did its job fine
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: They connect to a single node, who you would assume is fairly well connected
williamdunne: Seems like it can only be beneficial if it moves some away from Electrum and onto verifying nodes
williamdunne: Thats what most of them do anyway, no? i.e in Electrum
williamdunne: Verifying nodes are good for those that care about accepting unconfirmed tx/s IIRC
williamdunne: Okay, so from a little reading it does seem that they keep the full unspent TX set. While they can't provide all the blocks to someone who wants everything from the genesis it does seem like a pretty big improvement to me - should see a lot more verifying nodes - no?
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I need to read up on it first before commenting
williamdunne: Whereas pseudo-nodes just tell everyone everything
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Pruning nodes can still validate transactions with recent inputs can they not? Or do they store all inputs. Need to read how it works
williamdunne: Especially as the blockchain is starting to get too big for cheap VPS systems used for most services
williamdunne: Personally I reckon it'll just have more people running semi-nodes, rather than less people running full
williamdunne: !v assbot:williamdunne.rate.mike_c.1:f1e4a31471dbf17719c015bd64bcb65b4ac54604bfd41508506cfa2e782ffc64
williamdunne: Yeah, so they'll both be in the same version together so not really an issue
williamdunne: And syncing won't be too effected with headers first, although full sync I guess could take a little longer
williamdunne: I can't imagine it will remove many full nodes, just add some nodes
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: It could cause some people to start running full nodes who weren't otherwise, don't think it will make a huge difference
williamdunne: Scoopbot has resurfaced,
https error came up which didn't have any error handling.
williamdunne: Two hours, and I've managed to move my blog across..
williamdunne: fluffypony: The groupies have hairier necks too
williamdunne: bitx: Ah okay, I assumed you were from one of the bitx companies
williamdunne: bitx, which bitx are you from? There are like three/four of them
williamdunne: Naphex: Ah yeah! Its always the last tweaks that take 2/3rds your time
williamdunne: Naphex: Good thanks, hows stuff been your end?
williamdunne: !v assbot:williamdunne.rate.Naphex.2:19d40d8c7d1ce0e2137c60637c3d43729be585fbb03fbbb43354d445eb1a9003
williamdunne: !rate Naphex 2 Knows his shit, and knows he does
williamdunne: Long time no speak, keep meaning to go on mumble..
williamdunne well personally I'm going to go back to my charcoal and cave wall
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Considered it, could just create my own blogging platform but thats probably more effort than its worth. Only got like 3.5k views in the week
williamdunne: I've found a piece of blogging software I really like, but its written in node so now I'm conflicted
williamdunne: Emperor Pilate is one of the handles I use online
williamdunne: At the forefront of "the blockchain of things" lo
williamdunne: Like it could be done via a separate system like facebook uses which uses a queue to commit to DB, but can be received before committed to the DB
williamdunne: trinque: Either way, it anything high volume like that can be done in interesting ways
williamdunne: trinque: Meh, less of an issue for relatively basic data like private messages
williamdunne: Exactly, so we could shard the database a stupid amount, and stick half of it in NoSQL for things like private messages
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I can't imagine it would ever become a problem for SQLserver, if it did we could just shard it like hell. Its not like it needs sub 1 second latency on everything
williamdunne: trinque: Yeah, and photos which obviously would just be in a file container
williamdunne: Can't imagine it would be all that write-heavy
williamdunne: Surely all of the heavy-writing would just be in the form of files
williamdunne: I don't have any statistics about performance but I've found it works pretty well. I've only done basic clustering before using it tbh, doing things like sharing secrets for authentication
williamdunne: trinque: Well thats a lie, I normally do if working in Elixir/Phoenix
williamdunne: But its a BDSM site storing data encrypted client-side, hardly need for uber security
