asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1364 and http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1735 are the only times a trb node asks for blocks explicitly from peer ☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform part of the problem is that "00000000000000000136" is not much of a unique id in thefirst place.

asciilifeform: (this was a major brain-melter during the prbisms thread)

shinohai: Whatever the outcome of the node wedge fix is, I need to write all this down as it may be a powerful tool to fuck with enemy in the future.

mircea_popescu: ie, you ~could~, theoretically, write such shit into a block that it wedges nodes.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: grep -A 10000 "received block 00000000000000000136" mp_log.txt plox ?

asciilifeform: but, then , there ought to be a 0000000000000000013 getenv

asciilifeform: sooo somewhere in mircea_popescu's log, there'll be a getinv for 0000000000000000036, the prev block, then for this final one, 0000000000000000038 (complain to tardoshi re the procrusted hashes, not to me..) ,

asciilifeform: ( i lean to the latter hypothesis , it is a thing that regularly happened - admittedly not to the extent seen in mircea_popescu's specimen -- among my nodes, and was why i could no longer put off the 'wires' thing )

asciilifeform: or neither -- a prb-everywhere-and-not-a-drop-to-drink problem , conceivably.

asciilifeform: because this could be a 'pulling' problem , a 'pushing' one, or even both at once

mircea_popescu: anyway, i plan to restart it sometime tomorrow, if anyone wants further datas it's a fine time to say.

asciilifeform: because the last block in mircea_popescu's blk0036 is a main-chain block

asciilifeform: so apparently not a reorg problem

mircea_popescu: it's not exactly a common condition, this ; which is both why i said something and why it wasn't noticed. simply no test for ~this~ never seen before nonsense

ben_vulpes: oh and this doesn't actually render the header in a digestible form. okay, disregard.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: no, think about it, blockchain is a tree, but the turdfile is a linear tape

ben_vulpes: is there a straightforward mapping of height to position in blk.dat i missed?

ben_vulpes: it'll procure previous hash from a given block, could be taped into making a list of blocks

asciilifeform: so gaps are not a thing.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a block doesn't get to sit down in blk**** in trb unless its antecedents are present.

mircea_popescu: he's a painter at heart.

ben_vulpes: aya, give me a few

mircea_popescu: yeah seems it got eaten meanwhile. a sec ima re-move it.

ben_vulpes: 0036.dat also implies a trb .dat file, not a dumpblocked file? happy to crack it open and see though

asciilifeform: sadly asciilifeform is tied up doing a chore atm

asciilifeform: possibly it, but plus a bunch of moving parts which may or may not have been yet published?

pete_dushenski: that rings a bell ya

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: somebody, iirc it was ben_vulpes , wrote a thing that actually parses blox

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu showed up with a bag of clues from a trb node that wedged some weeks ago. so now autopsy.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i don't see a block debugger in there

pete_dushenski: http://cascadianhacker.com/21_a-tour-of-bitcoind-booting-to-its-first-thread << this ? pngs are broken tho

asciilifeform: incidentally trb probably ought to shit a sha512 of incoming block into the debug log

asciilifeform: didn't ben_vulpes ( or trinque ? ) write a block debugger ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a major part of the problem, everything can appear as orphans to a portion of the network only.

mircea_popescu: pow is a "double"

asciilifeform: here's a q: what happens if two forklets are tied in PoW ?

asciilifeform: trb's block push/pull mechanism is so retarded, that it is possible for a node to go for eons in a wedge, simply from never receiving the necessary unwedge blocks.

mircea_popescu: i've looked at the block specifically, i can't figure out why it would say such a thing myself.

asciilifeform: there is a much simpler, though disheartening, explanation

asciilifeform: and before it, a 100+, etc.

asciilifeform: i have a 80+GB log of mainly that.

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170303/#268 << i have nfi either, but it ~looks~ like it did not believe A NUMBER OF txn from the root of the reorg are validable.

ben_vulpes: i have no idea what goes on in these certificate program scams but i can't imagine not leaving if someone actually put a coloring book in front of me

mircea_popescu: and inasmuch as node wasn't capable of extracting itself naturally, and it IS a trb node, this qualifies as successful attack against network, by and large.

mircea_popescu: but basically it chokes on A WHOLE SET of txn

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i found ~a~ wtf ...

asciilifeform: ^ i suspect this beast, if not a piltdown man, was made using the method described by lomachinsky , with the old radioprotective drug that causes gigantism in mammal

mircea_popescu: aite a sec.

BingoBoingo: Fat pig of a log

mircea_popescu: resulting in a 150gb debug.log

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, i found a trb node which is locked on block 419373 and dumps all blocks as unacceptable bastards

asciilifeform: btw when i first saw ^ photo i parsed it as a wtf, because of the peculiar position of the ballsack, it looked as if it could be a hyena-like concave proboscis, holding a dildo

asciilifeform: it melts my brain, that this is apparently a backwater subfield, whereas it really ought to be ~100% of cryptology

a111: Logged on 2017-03-03 17:19 phf: catching up with rss and some of the log linked articles is literally like taking a bath of shit.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "the lamestream a fake news media appeared to be" l "a pool of 13,000 evaluation."

mircea_popescu: a yes, right you are, greek.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: papadimitriou ? i assumed -- a greek. at any rate, he wrote asciilifeform's (and probably ~everybody's) undergrad schoolb00k on complexity

asciilifeform: btw my year's search finally scored a hit: http://www.cs.uml.edu/~wang/acc-forum

asciilifeform: in other veryolds, 'It is now common knowledge among computer scientists that NP-completeness is largely irrelevant to public-key cryptography...' -- ( (very sadly) Papadimitriou .

Framedragger: heh i recall buying some electronics at ccc in hamburg by doing a live transfer from mtgox. those were the funny days

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-03#1621456 << trump side is leaking names, i expect it's a lot more likely "career civil servants" will start geting foreclosing notices. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: people did a lot of "i'll send you mtgoxdollars"

mircea_popescu: phf the stripper offwork thing is a toss-up i guess. it depends a lot on the environment or something ; i've known both kinds, ie "girl next door by day champion stripper by night" as well as "stripping is my whole life and my car plates read TITTY"

trinque: mircea_popescu: when people were selling their balances at a discount towards the end?

phf: catching up with rss and some of the log linked articles is literally like taking a bath of shit. ☟︎

asciilifeform: dunno that i've ever seen such a thing as a 'common lisp or scheme job' advertised publicly.

phf: "lispjobs" that's traditionally a place, where one posts rare and meaty common lisp and sometimes scheme jobs is now full of clojure work. last one is "clojure and clojurescript web developer"

phf: and host listed just a handful of dollars below budget hotel option for the area, so clearly knew what she was doing ☟︎

phf: host listed a price, and after confirmation informed that i'm only getting half of what i asked for ("oh it's one bed per one room, you need to purchase another room to get second bed")

phf: ..but i've met plenty of dumb girls who dress like one, because i suppose that's how they attract dat dream guy from a porn video. the miami bouncer dude.

asciilifeform: was promised to be an independent investigation. How an Obama donor could be trusted to investigate Obama’s heir apparent was never explored by the fake news media. Even worse is that as Chief of Counterintelligence, Laufman has the power to kill any investigations into leaks, a power he has been exercising.'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> but we're expected to believe that it was simply martians taking a sudden liking to bitcoin that one day, aha. << this is not at all incredible. on the contrary. most people who liked a cult hit band "can still remember the day last week when it was just me and that guy with the weird nose at the concerts, now look around".

mircea_popescu: so it'll be a while.

mircea_popescu: because for as long as the chicken brained have a dollar, they will pool that dollar to get shit like britney spears on the air. ☟︎

thestringpuller: snapchat surges 44% and they call facebook a bubble. for anyone calling for baby boomers to be sent to gitmo, I'd rather send the millennials first.

asciilifeform: but we're expected to believe that it was simply martians taking a sudden liking to bitcoin that one day, aha.

asciilifeform: trinque: if blocks were crowded on account of actual people, the free tx thing would be a distant memory

trinque: having watched deedbot transactions for quite a while, I can at least say that once 0.001 fee confirmed almost immediately

asciilifeform: betcha mircea_popescu had nfi that there could be such a thing as 'sibling blocks' !111

john_cocktail: who cares if takes a day to validate a block?

mircea_popescu: hey that's a pretty good simile.

asciilifeform: ' It would be much easier if we used JSON or XML for system configs. Or maybe some binary format. Especially for those configs that are constantly read by different programs. As a result, they need a good read rate (it’s higher in binary formats).' << gold.

mircea_popescu: anyway, it's about a girl who can't take seriously any online dweebs who attempt to immitate her style without comprehending the substance and under the guise of a very thin excuse omit to address their thanks plainly. or something like that.

mircea_popescu: o look, i can read the stuff from the chan on websites a few months later now! well done team andreesseen! totally made a difference!

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i am but a lol-sniffing pig of the web

mircea_popescu: veen you'd think the god damned bears of yesteryear would fucking shave before going within inches of a glorified lawnmower

trinque: in other news, BingoBoingo's deed txn 771d53910d31b6cc038d457f57579ef60da9b29271a6e5f82df0ec8e9e32c50b has yet to confirm. I might have to increase deed fee a tad.

trinque: remember that country that cared whether a breakfast cereal company had a political opinion?
