Adlai: "It was illegal for traders to place orders in the form of “bids” to buy or “offers” to sell a futures contract with the intent to cancel the bid or offer before execution." <- wat
ben_vulpes: watch out Adlai, you're in their crosshairs now.
Adlai: scalpl executes approximately 0.1% of the orders it places, i guess i'm fucked
ben_vulpes: the notion that an order once placed must live on until filled is pretty lulzy
ben_vulpes: although it's right in line with the bitcoin 'no backsies' ethos.
Adlai: a saner approach (and probably what the relevant laws actually say, rather than this trite simplification) is that some amount of time has to elapse between placement and cancellation, perhaps measured on the "volume clock"
cazalla: short logs this morning
ben_vulpes: the wallets notion is actually dangerous to noob minds. how is anyone ever supposed to get a decent comprehensive understanding of bitcoin if it's behavior is wrapped up in this pernicious notion of wallets?
ben_vulpes: it makes some amount of sense in a pre blockchain explorer world i suppose: 'how is one supposed to know what transactions are available for spending?' 'listunspent, oh noob'.

assbot: Come see me dream math. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1D0XWdj )
mircea_popescu: on the topic of "can irrational numbers that are powers of rational numbers be written out as polynomes with rational parameters"
ben_vulpes: good day, mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: how goes!
ben_vulpes: well enough well enough
ben_vulpes: discovered that 0.5.3 doesn't have the create/sign raw transaction facilities :(
ben_vulpes: *or* importprivkey
ben_vulpes: what else
ben_vulpes: oh yeah the moviefication of the pynchon novel inherent vice releases next week.
ben_vulpes: unrelated but exciting
mircea_popescu: nah those were added later
mircea_popescu tries to remember when
mircea_popescu: prolly 6.branch
mircea_popescu: importprivkey is trivial tho, just not supported by the gui or w/e
mircea_popescu: people had been building "wallet tools" as a bundle in parallel which eventually got merged into bitcoind sometime around early 2012
mircea_popescu: prolly would have been better if they actually became an independent project and continued separately, but beggars/
ben_vulpes: i'm of the opinion that facilities for btc handling beyond creating and signing raw transactions are entirely unnecessary.
mircea_popescu: so you keep your btc total in head ?
ben_vulpes: not fundation policy by any stretch of the imagination, just my opinion at this point in time.
ben_vulpes: yeah, why not? or check any of the myriad blockchain explorers.
ben_vulpes: put it in a spreadsheet oslt
mircea_popescu: it gets iffy.
mircea_popescu: at the very least you need a safe enumerator of pubkeys.
mircea_popescu: once you do that, might as well do some accounting.
mircea_popescu: once you do that, idiocy like bitcoind does with "accounts" and whatnot is a tempting step away
ben_vulpes: that's what i've seen in practice.
ben_vulpes: plus the whole "sendto" paradigm provides the opportunity for downright nefarious behavior like sending change to random addresses.
ben_vulpes: anyways we're talking reference implementation, not wallet for noobs.
mircea_popescu: why is sending change to random addresses nefarious ?
mircea_popescu: more aptly put, if that's nefarious why do we even think bitcoin makes sense.
ben_vulpes: sorry, i'm being unclear.
ben_vulpes: the wallet model provides cover for the "no address reuse" hooliganry.
ben_vulpes: the implicit "pull new key out of keypool (creating new keypair if keypool is exhausted), send all spare coins beyond the explicitly specified mining fee to this new keypair" routine.
ben_vulpes: maybe i'm getting cranky, but the "specify all important outputs, remainder is for the miners" behavior of transaction processing should never have been papered over.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4242 @ 0.00067036 = 2.8437 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: im not so sure that predictable behaviour is actually ideal.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with "create 6 new addresses, split change on any tx among these 6, usingthe same number of nonzero digits as the payment"
mircea_popescu: so a 3.7566 payment out of a 3.9 btc balance becomes 3.7566 0.0992 etc
ben_vulpes: sure that's sensible.
ben_vulpes: someone could even write a script that takes an input, a config file, and a desired output to cook up the desired transaction.
ben_vulpes: which then gets signed by bitcoin, given the relevant privkey.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the address count could be user-configured
mircea_popescu: too many unsafe on weak entropy systems. then again, whith a good entropy source, 256 or 65536 could be the default.
mircea_popescu: with a 64k list one would have the following problem : the tree of following transactions 4 bits removed is... 64bit.
mircea_popescu: 4 bits removed = 4 steps removed
ben_vulpes: anyways the point i'm trying to make is that desired wallet behavior is entirely orthogonal to a thing that "bitcoinates".
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4649 @ 0.00065979 = 3.0674 BTC [-]
ben_vulpes: the fewer things that are included in the notion of bitcoinating, the easier it'll be for nubbins` to print and asciilifeform to read.
mircea_popescu: no argument.
joecool: mircea_popescu: hey, one of my sites got a pingback from trilema on christmas saying it was affected by the pingback ddos, is this still an issue in current wordpress? xmlrpc looks substantially rewritten since we initially worked around this
