jfw: mod6: do we have any picture of what software the larger miners are running these days? Because that's the possibly-
prb-afflicted network I'd rather not be isolated from.
mod6: Your notion is correct on the former, 'more exposed to potentially misbehaving or sybil peers'. As to the latter, I suspect you will be connected simply more
prb nodes. It is possible that you'll also find, in a 'subgraph', nodes that are playing nicely, but seems less likely.
BingoBoingo: I'm suspecting a lot of nodes on the intermediate
PRB version numbers 0.8, 0.9, etc before peer-to-peer pki-ism are falling enough that we may have few bridges allowing communication between
prb and trb
a111: Logged on 2017-08-14 18:53 asciilifeform: meanwhile, usg.
prb folx claiming they will soon 'broadcast blocks from satellite', 'use
prb without internet!111' -- leveraging the orbit monopoly to diddle 'these blox, mined by us, legal, other, terrorist blox -- orphans nao'
girlattorney: asciilifeform i'm aware of the fast sync part. Just saying that when i sync a node i actually get data from other
prb nodes. I'm not getting garbage or errors, and I think (not being technically able unfortunately) that you could modify
prb to verify all the blocks, and eventually discard the excess if I reecived them in sprayed order
a111: Logged on 2019-07-16 12:52 asciilifeform: trb, unlike
prb, does not accept blocks 'on credit' (i.e. ones for whom the antecedent block is not yet on the disk)
girlattorney: but let's say the following: you get a core (
prb) node, you set a minrelaytxfee very high, so you don't propagate at all, just include what new blocks have because you have to (to stay up to date)

girlattorney: nodes (
prb) and other nodes that first were banned from
mp_en_viaje: (
prb is the name given to the one remaining group of scammers masquerading as bitcoin developers, in memory of their "
power rangers" heritage. numerous others have meanwhile discontinued, too many to merit enumeration.)

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-02#1906563 << the 1 gotcha, is that if you (or peers) are wedged (genuinely wedged, on db grind; or peers wedged; or stuck on island in sea of
prb; or... buncha documented , in log, cases ) then will get exactly 'where the fuck is my tx' errytime

☟︎ mircea_popescu: mats you can check by connecting independently to a
prb node and checking if it reports it in its mempool.
mircea_popescu: in other dubious news, i see some old versions of
prb stuck on block 551110

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-01#1877254 << pretty lulzy, and apparently not a joak -- indeed some folx, somewhere, habitually move 20-30k coin in 1 shot, and doing it with
prb and onto segshitaddrs
mircea_popescu: (this so neatly mirrors ye trb/
prb discussions it bleeds)
mod6: yeah, exactly.
prb is fake-cheese, for losers. can't hack it with the republic, the false choice is thinking that they have an alternative - a loser one at at that. but there really is no alternative. no matter how much you wish it to be REAL cheese, it is not, and never will be.
mircea_popescu: certainly. in general speaking, trbi will prolly not use any of the current trb/
prb legacy common code
mod6:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857624 << I did hear about this bug, of course. I had considered perhaps sending out something about this, but before I even dared to speak, I wanted to investigate the problem in
prb-shithub, as well as the CVE. I haven't even had a spare moment yet.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 02:10 asciilifeform: whereas when somebody throws coin into a
prb wallet, for any reason whatsoever, whether because he is idjit or because we made it harder to avoid, that's coin into usg coffers.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 02:08 asciilifeform: if idjit breaks it, he can do no harm thereby that
prb does not already do; if he runs a valid node, it contributes to strength of the net.
mod6: mircea_popescu: oh, betting against us or
prb?
mod6: In other tales from the TRB: I spent a solid chunk of time this weekend trying to backport all of the rpc rawtx functions from upstream
prb. Just to see if it was workable, and an educational endevour. This is not going to be a thing. They change tons of baseclasses and introduce a variety of new ones. Going forward, I think these will just be reimplmented in a trb-fashion.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo in other lulz, other than trying to push bitcoin crash as an implicit alternative, bitpay finally dropped bitcoin payments in favour of some nonsense "payment protocol" they developed in-house. << AHA, yeah the
PRB v 0.9 thing
a111: Logged on 2017-03-02 21:10 asciilifeform: oooh hey hey hey lbj. i finally found out why
prb folx like schnorr.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 22:30 asciilifeform: fwiw i'm still quite convinced that errything other than GET and PUT is ~=
prb orphanage.
mircea_popescu: substitute whatever,
prb, usg.legalsystem, what have you.
