gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: it isn't like
they're being used for something useful anywhere else.
mircea_popescu: (you have
to understand - in principle,
the extra maintenance is a mark of both fit in headness and "we really read
these patches")
mod6: ok cool. I
think an error like
that narrows it down pretty good.
mod6 is a bit worried
that we may have
to additionally maintain possible changing line numbers.
mod6: mircea_popescu: qq, would you be alright with
this error message, as opposed
to yours which has a line number in it: printf("ERROR, ECDSA_sign failed in key.h:Sign()");
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: btw why do you prefer
tabs
to 4 spaces?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes meh.
they're equally stupid, but shouldn't get in
the way of anything.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: Isn't
the whole purpose of an FPGA
that I can program it in place?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: so how do I run a program on one of
these
things without a socket connection?
ben_vulpes: consistency of code shape is a
thing for mortals like myself
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform:
to vendor: "if
this is
the real deal it should be able
to run
this program [include ascii file here], if it fries, I'm not buying it."
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 13:39:59; asciilifeform: i'd happily see
the whole shebang reformatted, but
this would destroy v-ability
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: it should be possible
to
test
them before purchase, right?
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 02:01:27; mats: asciilifeform: whats with
this dpaste? dropped characters, spelling errors abound
mircea_popescu: <mats> int'l law: for other people
that are not usg. << it's widely reported in ru and chinese. "everyone"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly,
the whole shebang's not worth 10mn.
adlai: for
the classically-challenged lurkers: it's
the last chapter of
The Once and Future King, by
T. H. White
adlai recommends people read
the last submission... rediscovered it while browsing a bathroom bookshelf
adlai: trinque:
thank you for checking
trinque: adlai: deed should crap when it catches up; if it doesn't I'll be back later
to kick it some more
mats: asciilifeform: whats with
this dpaste? dropped characters, spelling errors abound
☟︎ BingoBoingo: post updated. Forgot
to close it with "Sorry for your loss"
mats: int'l law: for other people
that are not usg.
mats: why nobody is
talking about how usg is actively violating .sy sovereignty, idk
mircea_popescu: " Bitcoin is described by enthusiasts as potentially being bigger
than
the Internet itself (a claim I cant seem
to understand, considering
that Bitcoin is an Internet-powered
technology),"
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 22:12:24; asciilifeform: IF I CAN'T READ IT IN AN EVENING it is a
turd
mircea_popescu: mod6 i don't
think we can not read
the wtf is
that
thing called
mod6: re: entropy
topic, perhaps ya, we can do something like
this when we have a crypto lib 'eh?
mircea_popescu: now of course, what exactly is
the mempool as far as each node is concerned varies, and
the miner's nodes especially. so it's an iffy
thing. anyway.
mircea_popescu: mod6 spam is roughly 2x what it was yest. only 6.4k or so
txn, vs 9k yest, however 65+mb worth
mircea_popescu: well... we also have
to eval
the new scp251 or w/e package.
mod6: So yep, pretty much same results as yesterday, althought it is noteable
that not passing any flag at all ; no
txns were dropped on
the floor.
They wern't malleated yesterdayr either, so it could have just been lots of spam yesterday or something similar.
mircea_popescu: it is plainly inconceivable anyone uses a wallet for payments and doesn't do
this.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, and unrelatedly
to
the "magic numbers" avenue of
trb improvement : one obvious anbd cheap hardening for
trb would be
to allow
the user control of entropy source.
mod6: Everything looks ok
to me. When not specifying a highs or lows flag,
txn went
through just fine no malleation. When '-lows' flag was passed,
txn went
through just fine, no malleation. WHen
the '-highs' flag was passed,
txns were malleated, as expected.
pete_dushenski: possibly or not possibly, it's
the only
thing i changed between yesterday and
today. and
the lag is gone.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo:
true enough. relatedly, 'tevye' is now running like a champ, keeping up with even asciilifeform's s00perbalticn0de.
the difference ? aws banhammer.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 22:07:22; adlai: ok. is
there another conf anytime soon?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Much
to be said for
the learning value of patch by hand in addition
to doing V-presses
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i read
the patches,
though admittedly little code. i'm probably not even competent enough
to need gas mask
though, so no worries. amor fati.
mircea_popescu: but you know,
the miners will implement whatever pr-derps
tell
them
to!111
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i can definitely say
that
the
trb history is adding
to ~my~ confusion, but i don't see
that as something
to be avoided. my hope is
that i'll eventually make enough sense of
this
to relay it concisely
to others. still much work
to do, no doubt.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in a sane mempool scheme, a 2 cent payment does not guaranteedly remove a 1 cent one from
the mempool.
mod6: 602 instances of numeric wizardy, yup. lot
to
track down
there. but,
thanks again. it needed doing.
mircea_popescu: the way
this works is
that i can say "take
this and pay bob and keep a cent" and
then later come and say "take
this and pay alice instead and keep
two cents", making
the later guaranteed
to overtake
the former.
