mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mike_c: sure. <<<
tis melting like april snow,
the case.
Apocalyptic: and probably not
that qualified as well, i'm no programmer in any sense, much less a C++ guru
mod6: <+ascii_modem> bdb begs for
the axe << yes. it's awful.
mod6: if you still don't have any spare
time, we'll figure out something.
mod6: no sweat. we're not quite at
that point anyway. as I was eluding
to in
the Address &
ToDo, I'll update #b-a at some point during
the month after we get
this other leak sorted.
Apocalyptic: noted, I don't have
that much free
time at
the moment
mod6: we appreciate any and all help on
this endeavor
mod6: feel free
to hit either ben_vulpes or me anytime if you wanna collaborate on
that.
Apocalyptic: actually after reading
the relevant code
there is some logic related
to
the mempool, so it may be worth some
tests indeed
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
the project does need more resources. if you feel like reading and submitting
the
thing, signed, jurov's keeping
the list and erryone'd be moar
than happy.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic in
theory
there is no difference between
theory and practice.
mod6: let him know
that he's about
to send a 40 BTC
tx fee.
there are improvments
that can be made perhaps
mod6: so, well, i dunno, i guess "works as designed" or something, but a least do
the guy a favor of a reach-around
mod6: yeah, but i just read
too
that if you don't set your change outputs, you'll end up sending like a huge
tx fee.
Apocalyptic: so you meant
to
test such
trivial
things as parsings ?
Apocalyptic: in
the sense it doesn't really check anything wallet related or something, it's supposed
to just parse your JSON and send it
to nodes
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> or for
that matter at all
tested. // not sure
there is something
to be really
tested
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i
think
the main issue is he wont be able
to
take credit. << omfg
the slanders.
mod6: of course, as always, we welcome any help
that anyone wants
to give
to achieve
these goals.
mod6: i'll stay
the course on v0.5.3 and what we set out
to do in january. will revisit
this later in
the month as was
the plan anyway.
mod6: fair enough. perhaps
this is not quite
the urgent matter
that I
thought it might have been.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it is somewhat used. not
that widely.
then again, linuxkernel is widely used. so what of it.
mircea_popescu: decimation: freenode seems
to attract folks like mr. spam << has 0
to do with freenode. everything sweet attracts gnats.
mod6: it may not be. i had a feeling
that it is widely used for some reason.
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't even know
that
the raw
transaction power ranger implementation was ever read by anyone.
mod6: i might just be dumb
though. eheheh.
mod6: probably not. i was just hoping
to grab
that stuff, and get it back-ported quickly.
mircea_popescu: mod6 at some point
the code
transforms an user indicated
tx into an actual
tx.
mod6: spent, probably a
total of 16 hours on it. didn't get very far. and seeing as
though
the raw
transactions api is 4 versions beyond (or something) v0.6.0, it might be very hard
to do it
that way.
mircea_popescu: and since
the fiat world mostl yexists as a staging scene for various social engineering attacks, from preet bharara onwards,
this isn't a good design.
mircea_popescu: moreover, if
there's a central repository of
the log
that's also an exclusive repository of
the log,
the incentive for nefarious idiots a la ninjashogun
to attack it via social engineering increases
mod6: when
trying
to back port something i
thought would be as simple as import/dump private keys, it
turned out
that
the changes were indeed far reaching in
the code.
mod6: well,
that maybe have been a poor choice of words.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:
the observation
that, on account of
the log existing, we don't need human idlers for anything at all, was correct << at
the very least
they provide a passive certification of
the log.
mircea_popescu: mod6 why exactly wouldn't be
there be an easy way
to simply insert raw
txn ?
mircea_popescu: the disposing of drooling idiots is an unrelated matter, and if pursued at all should not be pursued in
the heat of fake emergencies.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: honestly im not sure whats worse, autoddos or autoban. << i really don't see much incentive
to do anything at
this point. i mean,
the ddos guy was moreover useful, for as long as he kept iot up. i didn't
think he's reliable, and he proved
that much,so.. whatevs.
PeterL: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski hmm, your blog is on scoopbot's list, I am not sure why it is not shoing up, I will look into it
mod6: I'm not sure
there is any easy way
to back-port
the raw
tx api
mod6: currently,
the plan is
to attempt
to fix
the leak
that causes
the R.I.
to crash during full block sync. but we might end up rolling forward
to version .7 and having
to re-implement
the 7 patches we currently have.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: registered << same easy spamatron << moar horribru, now you're giving positive incentive
to create unused accounts.
mod6: ok. just wanted
to make sure I understood :)
mod6: (bullet point 4): fix behavior where blocks are downloaded from a single peer (what is
the desired behavior here? - should be pretty much ripped off from SotA
torrent
trackers.)
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it won't do anything for
the case at hand, because well... dude can just get in
the wot, what's
the big deal.
mircea_popescu: lowers load on freenode, and if
they're actually concerned
there's whatever skullduggery going on
they can just get into
teh wot.
mod6: ok, i haven't looked into
the part yet where it has been somehow spotted
that
the blocks seems
to get pulled from one peer, instead of many. if p2p seeds refers
to a way
to get blocks in more of a
torrent fashion, i agree.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i
think
the least damaging way is
to kick nicks
that are idle sing sing-on. asciilifeform: wanna idle for >5 min, get in wot. << yeah. i can see
this, especially as people who wish
to simply read logs can just as well read
the webpage.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i've been
thinking about it, not entirely sure it actually belongs in
the core.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'amplification' idiocy is
trivially
tested for, and any isp which doesn't yank
the offending lusers ought by all rights
to be killed upstream << pretty much
this, yes.
mod6: <+ascii_modem> neh he snipped whole
thing << yeah.
mod6: so now it keeps
the BDB
TX logs down
to < 1Mb each, and I've never seen more
than 60 of
them in
the ~/.bitcoin/database/ dir before being flushed out
mircea_popescu: Adlai: so paycoin has progressed from vaporware
to real, nitrogen-rich altcoincrap? << no, but some derp who feels rich on
the cash value a car monthy payment somehow figured he has something
to say.
mod6: then after working on different
things for a while, and looking at what is currently set in HEAD, went on
to
trim
that shit out
mod6: at first, I just set max locks
to 40000, and nothing else, but ended up with liek 265Gb of BDB
Tx logs
ascii_modem: in my
tests, bled out 100% of
the
time during sync
mod6: set set_lg_max
to 1M
mod6: changed dbenv.set_lk_max_locks
to 40000
mod6: changed dbenv.set_lk_max_objects
to 40000
mircea_popescu: there's
technically no possibility
to have "no checkpoints", block 1 will willy-nilly be a checkpoint.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem i just assumed he implemented
the "no checkpoints" in
the shape of a "set your own, defaults
to 1" sort of
thing
assbot: Logged on 18-12-2014 22:10:34; mod6: But yeah, it's still has some leaks in
there somewhere, as
the R.I. died at least 2 different
times from 1->current block, but no more
than 3
times. Eitherway,
this needs
to get resolved. But at least we're headed in
the right direction.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: I have a
ton of cool photos from
that adventure << you need
to start blogging in serious.
mircea_popescu: 'cept
the perky
titted little bitch started feminism and was banished
to fatlandia.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: so for a
time, God did permit a man
to have more
than one wife. (see, for eg. Genesis 4:19; 16:1-4; 29:18-30:24) - but God did not originate
the practice of polygamy. He provided only one wife for Adam. <<< bs.
the original family was adam eve an' lilith.
mircea_popescu: jurov: you want
to say homosexuality is okay if it's master/slave relationship? << win. get into leather while you still can!
mircea_popescu: jurov: nothing about fags? danielpbarron:
that's condemned <<< poor j, just can't catch a break.
mircea_popescu: equality is not something of
this, or any other world.
decimation: re: democracy << "Now I know of only
two methods of establishing equality in
the political world; every citizen must be put in possession of his rights, or rights must be granted
to no one." - M. de
Tocqueville
mircea_popescu: assbot: Will Ripple Eclipse Bitcoin? - Slashdot ... << "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by
the word no."
mircea_popescu: jurov: lmao it says
there was 1 x.idiff.dec
traded on 2012-12-13 and nothing since << sounds about right.
mircea_popescu: jurov: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu x.idiff.dec expired < myeah.
decimation: I
think
TI still makes stuff like
the msp430
ascii_modem: microcontroller <<
the pickings end up very slim if refuse 'arm'
decimation: one can buy very low power microcontrollers
these days
ascii_modem: that's roughly
the situation of modern cpu
ascii_modem: battery
time / mips or flops << imagine if
the only fuel available, were -
trotyl.
decimation: how Potapov got off so easily, with only 'ten and five on
the horns'."
decimation: re:
tank's
top < "
That was Stalin's hall-mark, his style -
that splendid disregard of differences,
that levelling of friends and enemies
that made him a unique figure in
the whole of human history. Another
thing for which
the Soviet court did not condemn Potapov was
that in 1945 - still in his broken spectacles
tied with string but
this
time with a
tommy-gun in his hand - he rode into Berlin on
the back of a Red Army
tank;
this was
undata: I had a pentium 3
thinkpad
that was a
tank compared
decimation: lenovo is supposedly better for
that stuff
undata: trackpad stopped working, goes
to sleep, fails
to wake without disconnecting
the battery, etc
undata: I'm
trying
to code on a shit-tier lenovo "x1 carbon"
undata: the vaguely defined dream would be
to have something which functions as a
terminal, nothing more
undata: ascii_modem: I spent a bit of
time
today researching e-ink displays
mircea_popescu: where chicks come with
their
tank
tops
to sit atop your
tank's
top and
take
their
tops off
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Obligatory slogan: "Come and get
Tanked!" << better yet, "tank
top off
tuesday"
