nubbins`: all i see is mp and alf complaining loudly that sturles' node shouldn't work the way it does because it's improper
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2016 02:59:17; mircea_popescu: sturle's theory fell apart upon examination in chan.
jurov: mircea_popescu: to mpex pls
BingoBoingo: and gnashing and wailing, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. Also touch of denial mixed in.
trinque settles in to catch up on a weekend of l0gz
mircea_popescu: believe it or not IN FUCKING MARCH the spanyards do not yet rightly know whether that fucktard won or not the december election.
assbot: BitBet - Mariano Rajoy to remain PM of Spain after December Election :: 0.21 B (78%) on Yes, 0.06 B (22%) on No | closed 2 months 3 weeks ago ... ( http://bit.ly/1QweQIw )
mircea_popescu: not to even speak of https://bitbet.us/bet/1185/mariano-rajoy-to-remain-pm-of-spain-after/
mircea_popescu: alrighty. so then it waits.
jurov: doh, they are incredibly slow.. there is "allocation of seats" link but they have not done it yet.
mircea_popescu: is there a good source to document how you convert from these ?
assbot: BitBet - Parties SMER-SD and SNS to win supermajority in Slovak parliament :: 0.87 B (38%) on Yes, 1.42 B (62%) on No | closed 3 days 3 hours ago ... ( http://bit.ly/1QweIc2 )
mircea_popescu: in more practical news - jurov here's one for you. https://bitbet.us/bet/1247/parties-smer-sd-and-sns-to-win-supermajority-in/ is to be resolved. problem is the res source gives vote % and not a word re seats, and the bet is re seats. ☟︎
nubbins`: anyway. peace. asciilifeform feel free to leave your particulars with gribble for me
nubbins`: if ever there was an indication that mp stopped giving a fuck about anything but spending the usd he cashed his btc out into, this is it
nubbins`: aaaand ftr i meant what i said about being relieved of duties, imagine sending a 17btc tx out into the wild and then /sending the same amount of money again from a different address/
nubbins`: seems pretty obvious that in a huge backlog of transactions, one of them is going to be the lowest priority
mircea_popescu: plenty o' room for idea guys all over the webs.
nubbins`: sorry guys, anyone who thinks MP's explanation makes more sense needs their head checked at a trauma hospital
jurov: So, w're back to mp and alf being 80% i guess.
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to talk to redditards i'd make a reddit account.
mircea_popescu: you'll be on my ignore list. if you actually have something to say find a lord to play telephone, but ideally spare me.
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for nubbins` from 2 to -1 with note: more or less shoemaker insistent on derping above the crepidam.

nubbins`: i tried putting it in simplified english for you, but it didn't take
nubbins`: lel, "go write a theory"
nubbins`: "no, you don't get it, MY zero-fee transaction should have taken priority because reasons"
mircea_popescu: there's no "logical rebuttal". you have some facts, go write a theory. maybe i'll bother reading it. seeing who it comes from, probably not. that's all.
mircea_popescu: dude... seriously, stick to printing or w/e it is you understand.
nubbins`: do you suppose maybe there were other 0-fee high priority transactions floating around at that time? hmm? check out a graph of the mempool size
mircea_popescu: whatever. keep your ideas, i don't want them nor do they carry any value.
mircea_popescu: apparently the way the internet works [according to idiots] is that one guy that knows about things by virtue of being one of the guys that actually do things describes some facts, and is now obliged to entertain the half-baked idiocy of any random opiner.
nubbins`: like talking to a bag of hammers
nubbins`: you try again
mircea_popescu: that made no sense. try again using meaningful words this time.
nubbins`: because there was a lineup for the cheap seats because of the mempool flood
mircea_popescu: so a1 blocked a2, then a2 blocked a3 then a3 blocked a4 ?
nubbins`: yes, 4 tx's over 8 days
mircea_popescu: we're talking about ~8 days.
mircea_popescu: the facts are there, write your explanation for them and spare me.
nubbins`: and nodes don't have to keep tx's "forever", we're talking two days max between rebroadcasts.
nubbins`: accepting but not advertising them -- isn't
mircea_popescu: as opposed to "here is what i opine - i know all about huffing glue because, practically speaking, it's what i do all day".
nubbins`: advertising 0-fee tx's in a mempool flood is a DOS attack ☟︎
mircea_popescu: nubbins` we had this thread. make your own theory, CROSSING ALL THE POINTS.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`> all will be discarded because A1 is waiting for the cheap seats << except the part where these nodes would also advertise it, which they didn't do. and except for the part where nodes that keep txn forever are am yth. and except for anything actually to do with reality, as opposed to some cartoon someone saw last year on tedspeak or w/e.
nubbins`: you're sniffing glue if you think a cartel withholding bitbet payouts is the simplest explanation
mircea_popescu: i'm sure it'll bring greatness to canada or w/e.
mircea_popescu: but congrats on being the nth lazy thinker who has a simple theory in his head, cut ~80% of the facts or so that fit it, and is ready to reddit about the matter.
nubbins`: ("you don't get to say what the logic is! &c")
nubbins`: how ya figure, because the logic doesn't follow
mircea_popescu: nubbins`> http://qntra.net/2016/03/a-miner-problem/#comment-47702 << FTR i thought this was obv the case << because it's neither obvious nor the case.
nubbins`: i cannot see the ground!
nubbins`: i feel bad carrying on but this is seriously the highest lelevator i've ever been in
jurov: lmao. but they could have pestered davout to get much better price from his bot instead
danielpbarron: not people who want euros, so much as they ~don't want~ bitcoin, and don't want to touch actual fiat
nubbins`: or, y'know, a cartel blowing their cover by fucking with bitbet payouts.
danielpbarron: well it's pretty obvious to me what caused the insane prices. "divestment"
jurov: i am accepting transferwise
danielpbarron: jurov, how to do that? ask you here?
jurov: <ad break>You could have got x.eur from me with only 2% fee over vwap and flipped them at these insane prices!</ad>
nubbins`: but if three other high priority taco lovers clog their toilets first, i'm waiting in line
jurov: mkay, flipped. this ersatz marketmaking is quite ejoyable
danielpbarron: i don't see how a "mempool flood" should effect a high priority transaction.. or was the flooder sophisticated enough to have created all the inputs long ago so that they too would be high priority?
jurov: whotf puts these asks on x.eur
nubbins`: a 0-fee tx during a mempool flood is like expecting to hitch a free ride from turkey to macedonia
nubbins`: all will be discarded because A1 is waiting for the cheap seats
assbot: The greatly anticipated BitBet (S.BBET) February 2016 Statement on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1TYAbOv )
nubbins`: and since it's in the queue, you can make as many As as you like
nubbins`: if there's only so much space in a block for 0-fee tx's, and the mempool is overflowing, obviously it's gonna take days for your 0-fee tx to get put into a block, even if everyone knows about it
jurov: is that tooo far fetched notion?
jurov: and miners haven't touched it?
nubbins`: you know after the fact, it turns out
danielpbarron: i guess this falls into the "well what the heck is the protocol, oh right there isn't one" category. How do you know a miner will choose a high fee tx over a high priority tx?
nubbins`: if you're traveling on xmas
nubbins`: still gotta fight through the crowds to get to the gate
nubbins`: nexus pass is not required if there's no lineup at the airport
nubbins`: sure, if the mempool hadn't been olympic sized
danielpbarron: fee is not required if inputs are sufficiently old enough, which in this case they appear to have been
nubbins`: whoever constructed A1 should be relieved of their duties
nubbins`: "bitbet, where we don't have nine cents to spare"
nubbins`: "bitbet, where payouts are literally the lowest priority"
nubbins`: <mircea_popescu> does this come with an absolute guarantee that i am not responsible for anything past raw tx, and if it never gets included, bettor is out the money, because i will not under any circumstances repay it ? << lel better not stick with 0-fee tx if you're gonna go that route.
nubbins`: http://qntra.net/2016/03/a-miner-problem/#comment-47702 << FTR i thought this was obv the case upon reading the article and was baffled as to why it took so long for someone to mention.
jurov: because on C mechine, succumbing to various kinds of magic colored pointer unions is practical necessity.. so ada type safety should help
jurov: but in the course of this, i got an idea, is there a small lisp/scheme implemented in ada?

ben_vulpes: http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/#comment-116719 << sig(digest, pkey). this does nothing for the transacting protocol, but ensures that the device that mined a block /also/ has the privkey for the block subsidy.
