trinque: ben_vulpes:
the lesbian dreadfort notwithstanding
trinque: so
there is a central point which can reject
the key in
the future
trinque: in
this case presumably
the city itself would be controlled by someone in particular
ascii_field: trinque: also not so easy. see
the key revocation
thread of last month.

trinque: ascii_field: was imagining a futuristic city with access controls based on WoT standing in response
to chetty's comments about islam and violence
trinque: and you could perhaps sign a "my cardano was stolen" message
to address
thestringpuller

☟︎ ascii_field: i can't wait
to see all
the nails folks
try
to pound in with
this microscope.
trinque: I can't wait
to hold one in my hands
nubbins`: they asked me for my password over
the phone
nubbins`: i used
to work for big insurance co
ben_vulpes: trinque: and emails passwords baaack
to users in plaintext
ben_vulpes: trinque:
the hsa company can't figure out
their ssl cert
ascii_field: nubbins`: 'How often, or on what system,
the
Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable
that
they watched everybody all
the
time. but at any rate
they could plug in your wire whenever
they wanted
to. You have
to live - did live, from habit
that became instinct - in
the assumption
that every sound you made was overheard...'
ascii_field: and readily admitted
to having uploaded it himself,
to sks
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> nubbins`: as i understand, buyer can contact you and ask
to pay in cocaine <<< i suggested
to buyer we
take
tx off-site; he agreed. mildly surprised message filters or smth didn't get in
the way
ascii_field: he didn't claim a name, or a key, much less a signature of one with
the other
trinque: ascii_field: but he banned
the specific mask for
that user
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: you know
that's
the shared arse for everyone who comes in from nosuchlabs.com, right ?
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 16:58:35; fromphuctor: im pretty sure
there's laws in place
that give me
the right
to have
that info removed
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is open for everyone who can keep
the whole
thing.
the whole blockchain,
the whole mempool, etc.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
the notion
that bitcoin is open "to everyone" does not include fromfuctorhead above.
ascii_field: thestringpuller: but it is also
true
that most nodes presently have sufficient physical ram
to hold
the mempool
thestringpuller: it seems
this is broken, if
tx's oom a nodes' mempool wouldn't
this
technically be a fraction of
the mempool shared by other nodes with more memory?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: why would
the network isolate you if you're dropping
tx's out of
the mempool?
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 19:31:33; mircea_popescu: ascii_field yes, complicated, especially due
to
txn chains.
ascii_field: but if you accept anything but paypal - can be
thrown out of 'ebay'
ascii_field: nubbins`: as i understand, buyer can contact you and ask
to pay in cocaine
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> who exactly expected
to be able
to use btc
there <<< once listed a casascius coin on ebay. a buyer messaged me
through
the site asking
to pay in btc :o
mircea_popescu: but it is i
think
the first chance
to actually improve on extant code by writing something since
the start of
this project. rather
than just cutting warts off and sewing
the crater
together
ascii_field: possibly
the most dangerous change yet proposed
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 15:40:48; funkenstein_: for broadcasting a
TX
today i would recommend blockchain.info, coinb.in..
there are a few others
that will get your
tx
to miners
assbot: Logged on 14-07-2015 15:08:39; jurov: dm-cache using 8 GB SSD would be worth
trying, i will when pogos come
ascii_field hopes
that no one is waiting for ~him~
to write
this, is occupied with other
things presently
mircea_popescu: i didn't mean
that isolated. i just meant, "and it never amounted
to anything" isolated
ascii_field: 'no incentive' for most of
the network participants
to do what
they are doing - is
the current situation.
ascii_field: this is different from 'isolated.' isolated would mean
that extant nodes auto-drop you
mircea_popescu: you may either present : a)
the whole mempool (current best behaviour) or b) a selected fraction (hopefully future best behaviour)
mircea_popescu: because you present an arbitrary fraction of
the current mempool,
there is no incentive for anyone
to peer you.
ascii_field: 'why not start small, he said, offering
the yoga n00b a single nail'
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not worth doing
the other one. you'll just end up isolated on
the network.
mircea_popescu: ideally
the -so much, +so much and min_node_value are
to be set in config file by user.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nothing wrong with keeping a finite ip db and flushing
the lowest entries as needed, just like iptables works.
mircea_popescu: this way, our nonstandard behaviour can at least be excused, nodes will continue
to peer us for economic reasons, and your dream fo someday someone mining off a pogo may come closer.
mircea_popescu: g accepted
txn.
then it refuses connectioon
to shit nodes. permanently. it still reads from
them, but sends nothing.
mircea_popescu: so, how about, something like
this : 1. pogo acquires max memory
to be used for
tx pool ; 2. pogo accepts
txn into
this until full ; 3. pogo calculates per byte value for eacxh accepted
txn ; 4. pogo accepts new
txn only if
their per-byte value constitutes an increase
to its pool ; 5. pogo keeps a score on all nodes ir EVER SAW, by IP! as
to what
txn it sent : -so much for sending unacceptable
txn, + so much for sendin
ascii_field: this is closest
to
the default behavior (death of whole node)
ascii_field: so where is
this 'nonstandard.' ~ANY~ machine has finite ram, it is entirely standard.
mircea_popescu: if we're going
to do
this, which is nonstandard, a) better make it good.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: was
trying
to point out
that we need a mechanism
to manage mempool on
the node. just simple oldest-evict for starters.
trinque: you go up
to some gate and do assbot-style authentication
trinque: cardano would be a nice device for
this
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun parse
that, are you disagreeing or wut ?
trinque: it's a problem solved by both
the WoT and building cities according
to a concept of "good standing == access" not universal access for all
ascii_field: thestringpuller: not
the answer
to 'potentially infinite liquid shit in a finite bag'
trinque: so suppose I dropped a link
to last night's islam
thread
thestringpuller: ascii_field: you can set
the policy
to drop
tx's without fees from
the mempool i
though
ascii_field: we have
two of
these left:
the block index (discussed previously, 300 byte per blk) and
the mempool.
mircea_popescu: if i recall
this was discussed, i was spouting
things like "sort
the
tx pool by value per byte, kick out bad
txn and nodes
that propose
them, always offer a buttered selection
to askers"
mircea_popescu: im not setting mental limits on
the basis of implicit conventions.
ascii_field: who exactly expected
to be able
to use btc
there
mircea_popescu: "ideology" ? yeah,
that's right : usg's fucking ideology.
mircea_popescu: "Please understand
that you mentioned you accept "Bitcoin" as a method of payment. Some online payment companies are fairly new and inexperienced and
they do not provide sufficient fraud protection
to members. When we review payment methods
to determine whether
they are allowed on eBay,
two key factors
that we consider are "Security and Safety" and "Ease of use". Please do not offer
this payment method."
mircea_popescu: and
the infortmation of WHO READS IT is not usg's business.

the information is super sensitive
kakobrekla: [20:39:14] <punkman> why no
title assbot
danielpbarron: yeah,
this same node has reorganized in
the past, but
that's not
the case with
this latest hold up
punkman: whoever does, maybe post
to mailing list
ascii_field: danielpbarron: anything about rejected blocks in
the debug.log ?
danielpbarron: my node is held up again,
this
time at height=365262
ascii_field: i suppose mod6 and ben_vulpes ought
to make
the call
