mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know
that's just a general support email, and
the connection between fenton and fdvt is about
the same as between reddit feminist incel and starbucks
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
Tech Email:domainadmin@fdvt.com << lol! << See someone got
the Fenton lulz
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> like
the ents or something. << Where did all of
the nodewives go?
mircea_popescu: in any case,
the pogo plugs will be quite welcome.
the network's been suffering for a long
time,
mircea_popescu: wasn't goping
to say anything, but since it's public now..
mircea_popescu: it was highlighted by intel about
two weeks ago, and we're generally
tracing it
to philippines "top quality" content farms working for a number of (mostly ct and wash based) pr firms.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: "I've noticed certain repeating characteristic in
the writing of many members of
this forum:
they construct grammatically correct sentences but absolutely disregard
the underlying semantics: incoming vs. outgoing, local vs. remote, source vs. destination, etc. Here in regards
to
TCP/IP ports, but I observed
that in regards
to pretty much any
technical issue."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Of course many ISPs block out outgoing 8333 by default . Why do you
think we see all
these
threads where people complain
that
they are getting only 8 incoming connections on
their bitcoin QT wallet? Why do we average less
than 7k nodes worldwide at any given
time?"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
twould also be interesting
to see
the same
test against
the modern codebase
mircea_popescu: in
the words of one of
the numerous us generals remembered for losing a war, "the unknowns
that we know about, we name
terrorism.
the unknowns we don't know about, we predend don't exist.
that and
the state department is how we spend a
trillion for
the priviledge of spending another
trillion."
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> assbot: Exploiting
the Robocaller Gap - Global Guerrillas << speaking of
this ben_vulpes, how about a site where people can get bitcoin for reading messages on
the screen,
then autodial
them into say 5k different emergency zones across
the us. << sounds great
punkman: maybe have a list of dnsseeds with signed node lists baked in
the source
punkman: so no need for irc or built-in, just have
them in
the bitcoin.conf
mircea_popescu: dude
these fucktards. LEARN PGP!!1eleventyfivethousand cocks in your mother's dumb mouth.
mircea_popescu: "Show your face.
Those who know what you look like can verify
that it's actually you, and not a sockpuppet
trolling us all."
trinque: if one part shouldn't
talk
to another, it doesn't
mike_c: ^ seems evidence it
takes more
than one?
trinque: mircea_popescu: my evening is free
to hack on it;
the "keep it running" part got a lot of attention, which may have expanded scope past "a few scripts"
mircea_popescu: punkman asciilifeform yeah
that's more intended for proxy chaining
them iirc
BingoBoingo: -addnode offers multiple potential ips
to add
mike_c: this is an odd
time warp, where my knowledge is not outdated, but actually is
too far in
the future. it's weird :)
mircea_popescu: trinque so what's almost done ?
this week ?
tomorrow ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: granted. plenty of fires since
then, which are out
mike_c: it already seeds from file (bitcoin.conf), just need
to fill
the file.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe
this seed-from-file mod is more stringently needed
than i
thought ? mod6 ? ben_vulpes ?
PeterL: oh, ok, nevermind
then
PeterL: could you add an option
to input an ip address for seed? so start it by
typing "bitcoin --seed my.fri.ends.ip"
mircea_popescu: trinque ok, but it was nearly done like a week ago
too ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
thought
the node's own memory was
the primary bootstrap ?
mircea_popescu: and speaking of how's it going yo
trinque ! what happened
there ?
mircea_popescu: and remove a lot of dumbass pressure off
the blockchain. ("want
to
talk
to people ?
talk
through
the node process not
through
the
tx process)
mircea_popescu: which will make bitcoin full nodes a much saner
thing altogether.
mircea_popescu: irc should probably stay because a) it doesn't actualy do anything atm and b) it will be an easy upgrade
to gossipd
PeterL: we plan
to rip out irc?
mike_c: well,
this is clearly best solution :D
mike_c: hence ascii's list of "only 6 of
these are still alive"
trinque: the language needs
to be patched such
that wisdom and simplicity are more closely connected
mike_c: this actually begs
the question, how
the hell is
this
thing finding any nodes right now? brb. code grep.
mike_c: i'm going
to get
this node list into my mini-node how?
mircea_popescu: "In general I have found so far
that
the best results in computer security are achieved not by
those who are most competent at securing a system, but by
those who are backed by management most inclined
to simplify
their
task. "
mircea_popescu: i gotta find
this quote of myself, not enough self fellatio
today.
mircea_popescu: ip addresses seems
to be
the manner
to connect via
tcp/ip neh ?
mike_c: heh, so people are going
to download
this file by IP address?
assbot: The Global Bezzle – whence it came, where it went and why it matters (repost from 2011) — Crooked
Timber ... (

mike_c: PeterL:
this mechanism already exists. bitcoin-seeder
mircea_popescu: sure,
that';s
the general idea, have all
the magic strings in a file somewhere.
PeterL: How about putting seeds in a separate file (Foundation can host a copy
that is updated periodically), and add user settable options for whether
to download
the updated file on program start and from where?
jurov: it shown me
trilema immediately after
that
jurov: i was asking about linking
to definition
too, but
mircea_popescu: if
the king can pay nobles for
their service in "heraldics" he will do so. and issue and issue and issue until
there's more crowns
than
the estucheon can hold.
PeterL: asciilifeform: PeterL:
the phoundation's git does not appear
to have
the hardcoded seeds any longer. when
they were
thrown out? no idea << did you figure out what
they were replaced with?
mircea_popescu: giving voice
to anyone
that asks has its disadvantages.
trinque wishes he could watch asciilifeform slap
the_scourge in person
the_scourge: asciilifeform: you're
the one coding in python
the_scourge: cool so neither needs based nor merit. simple universal.
to
thsoe who ask. fn is democracy :)
felipelalli: now I am cloaked.
Thanks
trinque for
the
tip.
the_scourge: btw any chance
that
the first HLL cpu will support python? i know
that's heresy but
the library support is better
than lispscheme
trinque: eat and shit are entirely appropriate names
there
PeterL: having hardcoded seeds is, in my opnion, a silly way of doing
things
the_scourge: asciilifeform: do you always name your filehandles like
that, or only in python
PeterL: any idea when
these were last updated?
