ben_vulpes: have not, no.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: sorta like the proverbial 'jet engine on a ford pinto' situation. << obligatory: http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/
ben_vulpes: "*** Update 7/18/06 *** You have to give the California Department of Motor Vehicles (the DMV) credit for creativity on this one. A DMV insider has disclosed to me that the DMV has made a formal request to a federal agency to rule if my Beetle constitutes a threat to national security based on what could happen if it got into the wrong hands."" << hah news to me since the last time i looked at the

BingoBoingo: It's copper theft season again http://www.bnd.com/news/local/crime/article22358088.html
cazalla: half figured that was going to be an electrocution
asciilifeform: aaaaaand now for something completely different...
asciilifeform: achtung, panzers!
cazalla: common for people to get toasty'd on our rail way lines here trying to get at the copper
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al:
asciilifeform: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-May/000095.html
asciilifeform: (EXPERIMENTAL) IgProf Hooks Apparatus !
asciilifeform: mod6: you can use this to create a blockheight vs heap plot
asciilifeform: just call getinfo along with profileheapdump
mod6: oh, darn. ok im compiling right now with : bitcoin-v0_5_3_1-RELEASE + { OrphanageBurner } + { TX Orphanage Amputation }
mod6: think I should stop and compile that in as well?
asciilifeform: no hurry
mod6: well, was going to launch this for a full sync test.
mod6: nice tho!!
asciilifeform: (goes without saying that you need igprof on your box for this to work)
ben_vulpes dreams of a box beefy enough to run sync tests for every patch submitted
mod6: i've never used it. im guessing i can just compile/install via 3rd party package?
asciilifeform: mod6: aha
mod6: ok.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: your hardware is not the limiting reactant here
asciilifeform: (the network is)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: some several tb of disk would be nice
ben_vulpes: anyways, that's a nifty muntzing in the first one
asciilifeform: 2nd one is some dark magic, only serious sappers need apply
mod6: do you reccommend "Scientific Linux 5" or "Scientific Linux 6"?
asciilifeform: mod6: i have never seen, smelled, touched - either.
ben_vulpes: selinux? when what hum how?
mod6: oh, just looking for a version of IgProf to grab... maybe im looking at the wrong thing.
asciilifeform: http://igprof.org
mod6: yeah, thats where i am, i just wasnt on the DL page, nm.
asciilifeform: btw, after dumping a heap profile snapshot,
asciilifeform: igprof-analyse -d -v -g -r MEM_TOTAL heap1 > heap1.txt
asciilifeform: and so forth
asciilifeform: gives the plain text output
asciilifeform: (just like many other profilers, this one craps out somewhat terse encoded transcript by default)
asciilifeform: this gives MEM_TOTAL (how much churned)
asciilifeform: other options (e.g., MEM_LIVE) described in manual.
mod6: ok i'll come back to that, it's like a whole process to build that thing.
asciilifeform: http://igprof.org/analysis.html
asciilifeform: 'MEM_LIVE records the “live” memory – memory that hasn’t been freed. If the profile statistics file you are processing came from the end of the application’s run, this will be the memory leaked by the job. If the profile statistics file was triggered during the running of the job, it is a snapshot of the heap, i.e. a heap profile. The statistic is accurate (not statistical) and records the number of bytes allocated a
asciilifeform: nd the number of calls involved.'

asciilifeform: ^ both orphanage-destroyers applied for this example run
mod6 looks
mod6: oh wow, nice.
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: and you can get these -during runtime- now
asciilifeform: instead of waiting for the thing to die, as in valgrind.
mod6: :]
mod6: very cool
asciilifeform: also the thing appears to have better coverage of dynamic libs
asciilifeform: (if you have libs with debug symbols, will display line #s therein as well)
asciilifeform: iirc there might be some fancy html-output mode also. but - have not tried this yet.
mod6: good deal.
mod6: i'll work on building this tool here this weekend.
mod6: well, maybe after this sync is done with these 2 patches anyway. gotta still write this SoBA yet.

asciilifeform would, but had handwriting neural circuitry utterly nuked by alphabet switch in childhood
asciilifeform now can only write in the worst possible print
asciilifeform: interestingly, the longer i go without writing by hand, the more this part of brain rots

decimation: http://www.reed.com/blog-dpr/?page_id=6 < "One project where my friend and officemate Steven T.

"
mod6: asciilifeform: in the igprof_mem_live output, is the "Total" column in aggregate bytes - a sum of all bytes from the call's of said function?
decimation: "Steve?s design was rejected, not because it was unsound, but because NSA did not want to see ANY encryption work going on in the public domain ARPA project, some say because they did not want to see the world be ?too secure? by default.

mod6: thx decimation
mod6: have you looked at ThreadMessageHandler2 ?
mod6: wait, these are not just bytes allocated during calls, these are LEAKED BYTES?!
decimation: actually CBlock::AddToBlockIndex(unsigned int, unsigned int) [10]
decimation: yes
mod6: lolol that's horrendus. ProcessBlock leaked 26`847`114 bytes over 346`507 calls?! ☟︎
decimation: yes but noted that the leaks were all in its children
mod6: asciilifeform: how long (how many blocks) was bitcoind sync'ing while you took this sample?
decimation: if you follow that trail you find it's AddToBlockIndex
mod6: ahh. ok

mod6: !up ascii_modem
ascii_modem: nonono not leaks
ascii_modem: plz read manual
mod6: aight, me goes back to it.
ascii_modem: there are no leaks in the usual sense
ascii_modem: the flat graph from mod6 tells us this
ascii_modem: thinkaboutit
ascii_modem: as for the memlimit thing, it has to do with bdb only!
ascii_modem: and 256m is insane, we only have 128 total
mod6: ah, ok, couldn't remember the amt.
ascii_modem: db should't get more than 4 or at most 8
mod6: and yea, just for db.
mod6: ok
mod6 reads
ascii_modem: and - plz remember how to read profilers - the 'turd' is merely the procedure that is at the root of call graph tree
ascii_modem: so naturally will appear 'heavy' because 'all roads lead to rome'
mod6: yah, werd.
danielpbarron: !up rwg
decimation: asciilifeform: all roads lead to home, yes, but home is a good place to start examining each potential pathway
decimation: mod6: so you did a graph of vmstat calls? Is that what ascii is talking about?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 28472 @ 0.00031217 = 8.8881 BTC [+]
mod6: decimation: ah, no. graphs are from nmon. there is a document that goes along with all of that. it's in the mailing list and in the http://thebitcoin.foundation/test/perf/ root
mod6: http://thebitcoin.foundation/test/perf/nmon_tests_201505.txt
decimation: so the goal here is to reduce memory use, not to find leaks?
mod6: is that directed at me with my perf tests? or at asciilifeform?
decimation: I guess at ascii, why he bothered with igprof
decimation: presumably the 'leaks' were found by igprof because he killed it after running a certain time, so memory wasn't freed?
mod6: yeah, im not even sure what i'm looking at anymore with that igprof stuff yet.
mod6: i was just getting started reading and got pulled away for a minute.
mod6: but as far as the nmon tests, I wanted to system level profile the entire sync process -- get some visuals, see what we're looking at as far as overall system usage, etc.
decimation: it defintely thinks those areas are leaks, but that might be because of how it was killed, not because it was actually leaked (in the sense of the pointer was lost)
mod6: yeah, im not sure. i need to read more there.
decimation: I see what ascii means about the flat graph (memory.png on the orphanage thermonuke)
mod6: in addition to the valgrind tests that ascii did earlier this month, i was going to dig into some of that myself in june.
mod6: and now, maybe learn the ropes on igprof.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 19800 @ 0.00032704 = 6.4754 BTC [+]
mod6: <+decimation> I see what ascii means about the flat graph (memory.png on the orphanage thermonuke) << ahh
asciilifeform: decimation: where do you see leaks ?
asciilifeform: and i will add, nothing was killed, that thing is running even now, without interruption
decimation: the igprof documentation says that the report shows memory leaks
asciilifeform: decimation: all i noticed is the same 'pocket change' leaks as valgrind shows
decimation: "MEM_LIVE records the ?live? memory ? memory that hasn?t been freed. If the profile statistics file you are processing came from the end of the application?s run, this will be the memory leaked by the job. If the profile statistics file was triggered during the running of the job, it is a snapshot of the heap, i.e. a heap profile. The statistic is accurate (not statistical) and records the number of bytes allocated and the number of c
mod6: so the docs say, "MEM_LIVE records the ``live'' memory -- memory that hasn't been freed. If the profile statistics file you are processing came from the end
mod6: haha. was just typing that out ^^
asciilifeform: well no shit it wasn't freed
asciilifeform: it is in use !
asciilifeform: as in, actually alive
decimation: ah so it wasn't killed, that makes sense
asciilifeform: this is not valgrind! it does not need the process to terminate.
mod6: cool.
mod6 goes back to reading
decimation: asciilifeform: so is your goal to trim out all the 'inactive' memory use?
decimation: so that it fits more comfortably in the pogo?
asciilifeform: decimation: my goal is to get it to sit down in 120M or so.
asciilifeform: whatever it takes.
asciilifeform: there is no acceptable reason for the thing not to go in this very generous box.
asciilifeform: in fact, i want it in 32M. ☟︎
decimation: heh. you realize this means you are gonna probably have to discard all the C++ shit
asciilifeform: decimation: aaaaand without any major rewrite.
asciilifeform: just by taking every piece of retarded cruft and shooting it in the head.
decimation: yeah there's tons of cruft in there, no doubt
asciilifeform: every piece of 'orphan' nonsense, where thing works 100% as well with it gone
asciilifeform: every kind of cache
asciilifeform: every idiot dependency that just adds retardation (e.g., dns)
decimation: resolving the fixed hostnames?
asciilifeform: every piece of shit that gets stored & kept around for no reason
asciilifeform: fuck the fixed hostnames
asciilifeform: didn't i kill those already ?
decimation: I'm not sure, I need to get back on the patch train
mod6: <+ascii_modem> nonono not leaks << ok i see, so with -mp in the MEM_LIVE output we're just seeing a live heap. not leaks as the other doc page said.
mod6: <+ascii_modem> there are no leaks in the usual sense <+ascii_modem> the flat graph from mod6 tells us this << right
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/1172660_mem_live.txt
asciilifeform: and
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/1172660_mem_max.txt
asciilifeform: ^ where it is now
mod6: that other page about "text-output-format.html" threw me off.
mod6 looks
asciilifeform: l0l extra 0 in there
asciilifeform: rather, extra 1
asciilifeform: 172660, meant.
decimation: asciilifeform: does it slow the processing down (igprof)?
asciilifeform: decimation: not noticeably
decimation: interesting.
asciilifeform: then again, it is running on a very generously oversized box
asciilifeform: ;;calc 144897106 - 74026911

asciilifeform: where the hell did -these- go ?
asciilifeform: this is -exactly- my complaint with valgrind.
mod6: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/172660_mem_max.txt << 404
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/1172660_mem_max.txt
asciilifeform: yes, it's a typo
mod6: OH, i didn't actually need to take the extranious '1' out. gotcha
asciilifeform: i'd fix it, but these links are not intended as permanent
asciilifeform: i want everybody to try this at home.
decimation: asciilifeform: your complaint is that valgrind doesn't catch all the memory use?
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: trivially verified with pmap
asciilifeform: let's put it another way:
asciilifeform: there is absolutely no reason for bitcoind to ever use more than at most a few MB more than when it first boots.
asciilifeform: is there even any reason ever to keep more than one or two (second being, one that is in the process of load/verify) blocks in ram at one time
decimation: asciilifeform: it appears a big chunk of the memory in use is tied up in the CBlockIndex class
asciilifeform: decimation: that might be the bdb cache
asciilifeform: (see earlier link)
asciilifeform: it does -not- appear to grow significantly as the thing runs

mircea_popescu: mthreat interesting. so basically they run them looser and with a momentum-consuming groove in one spot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is awake !
asciilifeform waits for mircea_popescu to eat the log
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> why not just rewrite the memory allocation engine at this point, asciilifeform << this is two degrees of magnitude easier, at least.
asciilifeform: none of it is hard.
asciilifeform: but,
asciilifeform: magical allocators are entirely the wrong place to begin.
asciilifeform: that is how you get shitgnomatrons in the first place
asciilifeform: (that is, by plastering over retardation with magic)
mircea_popescu: lol "dark market coupons"
asciilifeform: if, -after we nuke all of the powerranger cruft- - we end up having to go there - then we go there.
asciilifeform: not before.
mod6: makes sense.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i think she has a point actually. deed the pages, that's proof enough. and as the derps probably don't know (or don't know they should know), we might even catch a diddled page. maybe.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "as far as we know" tm, there's no effect.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: which ?
mircea_popescu: the berkley db mem allocation
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i get a ballooning all the way to ~23M during first few hours of runtime, where it stays (based on pmap data)
asciilifeform: just for bdb
mircea_popescu: i think it pre-allocates locks or something
asciilifeform: according to docs, this is not a hard necessity.
mircea_popescu: well no, just how it does it
asciilifeform: there is a hard-ram-bound option, presently unused, and entirely separate from the locks constant. see link in log.

asciilifeform: but more broadly against crypto research outside of the castle walls, as a class
BingoBoingo: Well, CPU time used to be expensive for kleptocrats too
asciilifeform: in late '80s - early '90s, laughably weak symmetric crypto (even rotor machines !) were still in use worldwide, for instance
asciilifeform: a great many ciphertrons sold by nato cocksucker nations (western europe) were actually electronicized versions of 'enigma'-style rotors ☟︎
decimation: asciilifeform: your definition of 'memory leak' seems to be narrower than common parlance
asciilifeform: decimation: common parlance, as always, is uselessly broad
decimation: yes, point taken. but what do you call memory that might be a leak, or might not?
asciilifeform: decimation: you call it 'i need to instrument the thing in real time and find out'
asciilifeform: alternatively 'i need to fit the code in head'
asciilifeform: the latter is the only reasonable goal, and the only reasonable purpose of the former is to advance it
decimation: asciilifeform: http://www.theamphour.com/247-an-interview-with-voja-antonic-gerontogenous-galaksija-genesis/ < that podcast is an interview with voja antonic, who invented an 8-bit 'home computer' that was published in a magazine in yugoslavia
asciilifeform: decimation: i think every sovblok pesthole had at least two dozen homebrew published z80 things
asciilifeform: (on top of the mass-produced sinclair clones)
decimation: in it, he says that he feels that code that is compiled and assembled from a higher level language (higher than assembly) isn't 'his'
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I think in this case it was a z80 clone
decimation: apparently in the yugoslav case it was because it was illegal to buy a foreign device above a certain dollar value - but you could buy the parts and assemble yourself
asciilifeform: they had genuine z80 !?
asciilifeform: bought with dollars ?!
decimation: now, thinking about what the assembly from (say bitcoind) would look like - our slavic human assembler would think that whoever wrote the code was afflicted with a case of 'word salad' madness
decimation: asciilifeform: I think he said he bought with marks
decimation: and yes, apparently parts were available
asciilifeform: decimation: reading disasm of cpp crapolade is a misery
asciilifeform does it regularly, does not relish
decimation: right, so 'fits in head' fails in all languages higher than assembly, on the c machine
decimation: because it's the bedrock yo
asciilifeform: decimation has a point in that even a very trivial cpp proggy can have very peculiar manifest behaviour
asciilifeform: even aside from cryptozoological animals like gcc errata
decimation: right, the 'value' of c++ is that you can 'forget' about the crap like 'malloc' 'free' etc
decimation: but these are precisely what you want to 'fit in head'
decimation: how to fit std::map and std::vector in head? bastards designed by committee
asciilifeform: which is why i think that at a certain point the advantage of a 'bitcoin' which can be -understood- will outweigh the danger of failing to enumerate every possible corner case of the original turd when crafting the ada safety-critical bitcoinatron
decimation: yes. but until that point comes, I agree that there's alot of cruft in there - there's no reason why working memory needs to be gigabytes
asciilifeform: we'll know when it comes when the folks who have skin in the game say it did..
asciilifeform: (see excellent old thread re: this subject)
decimation: the folks being everyone holding bitcoin (with expectation of trading them for something)
decimation: asciilifeform: amusingly the yugoslav guy said that 'his' design included an audio cassette for program storage (using simple FSK I presume)
asciilifeform: that was sop
asciilifeform: where else are you gonna store
decimation: he said that the yugoslav radio station would actually interrupt music broadcast to send - fsk encodings of z80 games
asciilifeform has trouble believing that this came to any good unless you lived next door to the station
decimation: well, if the SNR was high and the bitrate was low, it would work well enough
decimation: I suspect it was something like 300 baud "bell 202" type modem
asciilifeform as a boy sometimes listened to his brother's 'bk-0010' tapes
asciilifeform: we didn't have the thing at home. just the tapes
asciilifeform: (his school didn't have tape decks, you had to bring yer own if family had one)
decimation: heh interesting
decimation: Yeah before flash and cheap hard drives/floppy drives your only option was tape
decimation: or 'prom'
asciilifeform: tape was the mega-storage because just about everyone could beg/borrow/steal a deck
asciilifeform: no special hardware needed
decimation: yeah also common and cheap I guess
asciilifeform: incidentally, long after connecting analogue tape decks to computer was a forgotten misery in the west, ru folks were connecting vcr and getting respectable (10-20G) backup
asciilifeform: as late as early 2000s
asciilifeform: vhs tape can hold a surprising amount (helical scan head!) but tends to rot rather quickly
decimation: yeah you would need heavy forward error correction
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> which is why i think that at a certain point >> that point is conceivably after our times.
asciilifeform: definitely after my time.
decimation: mircea_popescu: you think folks will make do with shit c++ code for our lifetime?
mircea_popescu: <decimation> he said that the yugoslav radio station would actually interrupt music broadcast to send - fsk encodings of z80 games << i had games i had downloaded off the natl tv station.
mircea_popescu: CRACKED games.
decimation: heh that's amusing
decimation: for c64?
asciilifeform: decimation: c64 was not a z80 box
mircea_popescu: for tim-s
mircea_popescu: which was a z80 clone.
decimation: yeah I know
decimation: ah interesting
decimation: c64 had a version of 6502 like apple II
mircea_popescu: this was the 48kb + 16kb for basic interpreter thing
mircea_popescu: but you could also wipe the 16kb if you never called the thing, via DMA of the time
mircea_popescu: user could poke arbitrary ram
mircea_popescu: (instruction being called... POKE)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interpreter wasn't in rom on your thing ?
mircea_popescu: the notion of "allocation" being unknown. of course it's allocated - the machine's on isn't it ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was in rom and copied to the ram at startup iirc
asciilifeform: ah
mircea_popescu: not run FROM rom
decimation: from the comments on that yugoslav interview: "Also, there was not a ?ban on importing computers? in former Yugoslavia ? it was a by-product of a (stupid) government policy of trying to stop the drain of foreign currency. The customs law prevented a legal import of any goods that cost more than 100 DM (German marks, about 50 Euros in todays money). "
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 33139 @ 0.00031476 = 10.4308 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: exercise for readers: describe -why- it was common (as is today) not to run directly from rom.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'peek' and 'poke' were sop on c64 and most micros of the time, aha
asciilifeform: the two most useful 'basic' keywords, yes.
asciilifeform: arguably none of the others needed to be learned..
decimation: asciilifeform: was it because loading the contents of the rom into ram allowed a single address space?
asciilifeform: decimation: it was a single address space no matter what
asciilifeform: (not one of these things had an mmu, nor was there any conceivable need for such a thing on a single-process os)
asciilifeform: the reason is that you can do local vars ('static' to a 'c' programmer) in ram
asciilifeform: but in rom, you need a ram stack/heap and can't simply shit where you eat
decimation: it seems that you could pull this off
decimation: but it would be highly non-portable
asciilifeform: you can - but it takes planning
asciilifeform: x86 never runs from rom. not even on warmup when sdram waitstate timer is not yet initialized
asciilifeform: (how? 'cache as ram' mode of x86 cpu)
asciilifeform: hypothetically, one could run an x86 box without any ram inserted, given a clever bios made for this occasion.
asciilifeform: i thought about actually making this, some years ago, as it had useful applications
decimation: especially with modern cpus that have tons of cache
asciilifeform: (cpu is warm and 'remanence' is a non-issue. think, crypto.)
decimation: plus low power, small form factor
asciilifeform: and no wait-cycles
asciilifeform: good for data-compact number crunching problems
asciilifeform: (of the kind i was working on with al schwartz and others)
decimation: to the poor slav z80 coder, the 'naked' xeon has embarassingly rich resources
asciilifeform: hell, the 8MB cache of my ancient 'opteron' is more than i had in my 486dx2
asciilifeform: (of total ram)
decimation: asciilifeform: ideally you would want to connect this naked cpu to others via the memory bus
decimation: but God help the poor soul who would try
asciilifeform: nah we're talking about off-the-shelf iron
asciilifeform: and making best use thereof
asciilifeform: but i have thought about connecting generic x86 boxen via the ram slots
decimation: well, off the shelf you could attach to a good 10gigE card with netboot
asciilifeform: $$$$$$$
decimation: yeah exactly
decimation: it would be cheap to use a 1 gige, but it would also have sad throughput
asciilifeform: ethernet, also, has ludicrous cpu overhead
asciilifeform: so the maximal throughputs are virtually never reached in practice
decimation: yeah, especially if ip stack
asciilifeform: (connection via ram slots is not, as it may appear, lunacy, but could be done with fpga, which would pretend to be a slice of sdram to two boxes at the same time, ignoring refresh cycles and managing locking somehow)
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 23850 @ 0.00032766 = 7.8147 BTC [+] {2}
decimation: yeah I can imagine it for a pair of cpus, but what if you wanted N cpus?
asciilifeform: there was an outfit which sold something quite like this (fpga on sdram stick) and even one in the shape of a cpu, which could sit down in ordinary cpu socket on multisocket mb
decimation: I suppose a ring of some sort
asciilifeform: but it got nsa'd
asciilifeform: ring, yes
asciilifeform: or preferably 2d fabric
asciilifeform: (compass arrows)
decimation: yeah
asciilifeform: hell, crossbars.
asciilifeform: i assume that the folks who a) want this b) can afford it --- have it.
asciilifeform: as always.
decimation: yeah, but if they can afford it they can also probably also afford to design a custom motherboard
asciilifeform: economy of scale
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 38444 @ 0.0003267 = 12.5597 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: can get that many more generic turdboards for same price
asciilifeform: ever since the '1024 chickens' transition, that is generally how it was done
asciilifeform: folks with infinite money do bake own mb, yes
asciilifeform: but even there, there are not ten thousand on one board
asciilifeform: usually there is some interconnection bus.
asciilifeform: (between boards)
decimation: the original 'cray' machines used differential ecl lines
asciilifeform: 'hippi' aha
asciilifeform: or what was it.
decimation: "Each cable between the modules was a twisted pair, cut to a specific length in order to guarantee the signals arrived at precisely the right time and minimize electrical reflection. Each signal produced by the ECL circuitry was a differential pair, so the signals were balanced. " < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray-1
asciilifeform: exotic then, but today every piece of shit lcd is plugged in through something entirely like this.
decimation: heh yeah. or pcie
asciilifeform: just about anything.
asciilifeform: try find a pc mb without 'meanders'
decimation: well, with clock rates above 500 mhz, your pcb starts to look like an rf transmission line

felipelalli: williamdunne: move usd from Brazil to Italy. My father is studying to use bitcoin. A Brazilian exchange is helping me with that but the problem now is find buyers in Italy.
felipelalli: williamdunne: are you Italian?
williamdunne: I am not italian but I have access to euro
williamdunne: You don't need money in Italy, you need money in Europe
williamdunne: All the same money..
williamdunne: But yes, I can't organize 200k in cash but I can probably find a buyer via bank transfer
felipelalli: williamdunne: they can make free transfer between different countries?
williamdunne: Yes, but why would you care about free on a deal that large?
felipelalli: williamdunne: "free" I mean cheap.
williamdunne: Yeah one or two euro
felipelalli: it's free :)
williamdunne: Aha, well yes. But on 1000 bitcoin even a wire transfer at 20 euros isn't really a problem :D
felipelalli: sure!! :)
williamdunne: But yes, do you need this? I will speak to someone
felipelalli: But 1% would be a problem.
williamdunne: Sure
felipelalli: I have to talk with him again. I'm waiting his call.
felipelalli: thank you guys.
williamdunne: Sure thing, I'll PM you if I know someone interested
