mp_en_viaje: either you are skilled, or you aren't. if you aren't, buying
the glasses i wore or
the bed i fucked in won't do much for you.
mp_en_viaje: girlattorney,
the problem with your idea is
that you can't really buy an identity.
girlattorney: now we are sitting on 270GB mostly well splitted in educated 2gb blk00*, but
then
there is a
thick load of 50gb named blkindex
that fucks up everything, cause file hosting generally doesn't like
these weights
girlattorney: asciilifeform in 14 i suppose
that
the blockchain was in
the order of 10 GBs, very easy
to move even with crappy WAN pipes
girlattorney: even if you are in NY and
the boxes ships from sydney, with DHL
the pre-synced box would appear well before a standard sync
girlattorney: in a near future i
think
that it could have sense
to have a
TRB marketplace, where you can buy your ready-to-deploy box
girlattorney: it really sucks after 28 days of sync starting from zero, knowing
that a lot of nodes are hostile and nowadays nobody ain't giving away bandwith
girlattorney: @asciilifeform
thanks for
the info, i'll make my backup on
tape before
that event
girlattorney: then it remains read only or also smash
the content already written inside?
girlattorney: so i just used 2-3% life of
the ssd, not a big issue (i'll only sync once hopefully)
girlattorney: well, i've used a 1TB consumer SSD
to sync, rated for 200
TB written before die
mp_en_viaje: iirc she was on a vps
tho. os not exposed
to her.
girlattorney: asciilifeform i know, indeed is 280 GB, i was saying
that
the
total write process from 0
to 584k is 8TB, i expressed myself badly
girlattorney: nodes (prb) and other nodes
that first were banned from
girlattorney: asciilifeform
that's something interesting: once (not now, a couple of days ago) i was able
to get
to
the general height,
thanks
to a couple of restart
that allowed me
to get
those last blocks (it seems
that when
TRB starts, always download instantly 10-15 blocks). Basically when it was at
the network height (synced) it was also connecting
to core
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:07 girlattorney: if it could interest, from 0
to block 584k,
TRB has written
to disk almost 8
TB
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 11:27 girlattorney: if it's just an ip + port it can be a "fake" node. What interest me is
the fact
that
TRB seems
to ignore
the nodes with a user agent different
than "therealbitcoin.org:0.8.88.88". I even
tried
to just have a "addnode=*corenode" and in some odd way it finds a way
to communicate only with
the
TRB nodes
girlattorney: @mp_en_viaje nothing public, after reading
trilema and some logs I wanted
to open a blog
to report my stuff, but haven't got yet my ip space
☟︎ girlattorney: i saw
the rockchip, it was more expensive and i found
these HC1s (a couple) used from a local guy
that sold
them
to me at a price
girlattorney: it's an arm board with a sata slot, so i can attach a 1TB ssd and let
TRB running for a couple of years
girlattorney: asciilifeform
thanks, i'm going
to search on logs if you haven't a direct link.
The hc1 is 2gb indeed
girlattorney: mp_en_viaje i know a little bash, i used
to compile bitcoin core until knowing
TRB and my project would be
to compile
TRB for an arm board,
to eat less energy
than my PC (the ARM board would be an hardkernel Odroid hc1)
girlattorney: i can use other source if
there is another site more realiable
deedbot: asciilifeform rated girlattorney 1 <<
trb n00b / new blood
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i expect she's just comparing
to blockchain.info or w/e other webwallet
girlattorney: I have little coding skills, but definitely is something
that i'm willing
to do when i learn
to write in C
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 10:44 girlattorney: hi,
thanks for voice, i'm here
to ask about
trb. Installed it on my PC, and after 28 days almost synced.
Then it happens
the following: when
TRB is almost at
the current height (as now, 585,647), it stays back a few blocks, like now
that is at 585640, and just cannot catch
the latests blocks
girlattorney: and last
thing
that i found a little annoying: no exportprivkey in any form, just dealing with wallet.dat
to import/export private keys
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: there's probably some room for optimization wrt disk usage ; but
that's rather wating for
the more comprehensive
trb-fs
thing
girlattorney: if it could interest, from 0
to block 584k,
TRB has written
to disk almost 8
TB
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: holy hell what, wtf "crusoe social philosophy" is
that supposed
to be! even with no sun,
the gas would still be
trapped by gravity,
thus
there'd still be a pressure,
thus
there'd still be a
temperature, wtf "absolute zero". atmospheric pressure is
trivially given by
the ~height~ of air column, not by
the fucking
temperature holy hell
these people.
mp_en_viaje: in other sads, i'm reading internet "
science" : "If
there were no Sun (or other external energy source) atmospheric
temperature would approach absolute zero. As a result
there would be almost no atmospheric pressure on any planet -> PV = nRT."
girlattorney: a very rich life i suppose (not my job, I have
to deal with my ex's one)
mp_en_viaje: sion, demonstrating what
the usg
thought at
the
time a viable avenue of attack,
that i had
to spend an inordinate amt of slave
time and assorted resources
to bolt shut for
them, and so following.)
mp_en_viaje: (the whole "power rangers"
thing started with
an event in 2013, when some usg agents masquerading as bitcoin developers (mike hearn, etc) wilfully introduced a bug which split
the network while
the other morons (wuile, maxwell, etc) failed
to notice.
the
thing had
to be undone
through miner collu
mp_en_viaje: (prb is
the name given
to
the one remaining group of scammers masquerading as bitcoin developers, in memory of
their "
power rangers" heritage. numerous others have meanwhile discontinued,
too many
to merit enumeration.)
girlattorney: btw i'm very grateful
that still exist a client without segwit and without other useless crap. so glad
to be able
to almost sync it
girlattorney: tried
to read
them, but I haven't found a significant keyword
to search with
this specific
topic.
mp_en_viaje: there's years of discussion about
this scattered
through
the logs ; have you found
the logs yet ?
mp_en_viaje: the problem is deeper
than just
the user agent ; fake bitcoin nodes send out all sorts of spam and otherwise misbehave. it's not possible
to meaningfully communicate with one automatically, it requires skilled human hands.
girlattorney: if it's just an ip + port it can be a "fake" node. What interest me is
the fact
that
TRB seems
to ignore
the nodes with a user agent different
than "therealbitcoin.org:0.8.88.88". I even
tried
to just have a "addnode=*corenode" and in some odd way it finds a way
to communicate only with
the
TRB nodes
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: well, for you
there's
then no answer
to
the "how do
trb nodes get blocks" question you had.
girlattorney: well, for me a node is ip + port combo
that gives me blocks and eventually
transactions
mp_en_viaje: the bitnode notion of a node is about
the same as
the electoral notion of a "voter" : meaningful for just as long nobody gives a shit.
then it's all "m00t won
time's man of
the year".
mp_en_viaje: consider it from
the other pov : if
tomorrow
the aliens land, do yo uthen say "the aliens are... well...
three guys" ? just because
three guys are all
the aliens can be bothered
t oshow you does not mean "that's all
there is"
mp_en_viaje: what do you call "a node" ? is it an ip-port combo ? you can
trivially set up your own box
to be
two nodes in
this sense ; i have boxes with a whole block c allocated, how would you know what's going on /
mp_en_viaje: girlattorney, your notion of identity is not adequate for
the situation you're dealing with.
☟︎ girlattorney: so if only
these nodes are interacting with
themselves, where
they fetch
the blocks from?
girlattorney: ok i'm gonna wait. I'm just interested in what happens with
TRB nodes: with a public site
that list public nodes (with 8333 port exposed, site is bitnodes dot something), i checked and it says
that
there are 8
TRB nodes.
mp_en_viaje: you'll need a rating from someone deedbot knows
to be able
to voice yourself ; it's inconvenient for me
to give you one cuz im
travelling ; but patience, i suspect someone else might in short order.
girlattorney: btw i noticed
that
trb only connects and fetch blocks from other
trbs, so i don't get what happens with
the other core nodes
mp_en_viaje: this is actually not what should be happening ; if you stick around
there'll prolly be a barage of questions as asciilifeform
trinque mod6 & all wake up.
girlattorney: i don't get why just
the latest blocks are soooo slow
to fetch
girlattorney: nat router + ssh
tunnel
to VPS
to have fixed IP
mp_en_viaje: girlattorney, are you on a consumer link, behind a nat router etc ? or is
this a dc box ?
mp_en_viaje: (which would be
the "latest"
trb,
though obviously v-trees are a little different from
traditional notions of latestness)
girlattorney: latest
trb (currently available on
thebitcoin.foundation) installed on debian 8
mp_en_viaje: girlattorney, which
trb / how did you install it ?
girlattorney: hi,
thanks for voice, i'm here
to ask about
trb. Installed it on my PC, and after 28 days almost synced.
Then it happens
the following: when
TRB is almost at
the current height (as now, 585,647), it stays back a few blocks, like now
that is at 585640, and just cannot catch
the latests blocks
☟︎ diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: lolz; if I didn't get
them out at 9, no chance now; neah,
they are my sleep-deprivation indicator simply, lol
diana_coman: well, I'm "enjoying"
tonsillitis, if
that's any help
