mircea_popescu: aha!
sturles: I don't keep them all. Only the ones with the highest priority.-
mircea_popescu: so how long is the longest you keep a txn ?
sturles: I don't have a time limit.
mircea_popescu: so then how does A2 have a lower priority than A1 ?
sturles: Transactions are evicted by fee or priority alone.
mircea_popescu: right ?
sturles: It doesn't matter if A2 has higher or lower priority than A1. As long as A1 is in my mempool, a tx spending any of A1's inputs will be rejected.
fluffypony: it's a davout: https://twitter.com/jonmatonis/status/705415833833619456
fluffypony: and "Galvin" Andresen
mircea_popescu: sturles if you keep 0fee txn without time limit, you are necessarily running on a machine with infinite ram.
mircea_popescu: if there IS a time limit, what is it.
sturles: Right now my mempool has: "mempoolminpriority": 142186611.6926576,
mircea_popescu: and how do you calculate the priority ?
sturles: Which means that every tx with priority below 142186611.6926576 will be thrown out of the priority pool, and into the fee based pool.
mircea_popescu: and if it's a 0fee tx, thrown out altogether ?
sturles: Standard priority calculations. size of input * age of input for all inputs, then divided by the size of the transaction.
sturles: Size in bytes.
sturles: Size of inputs in BTC.
mircea_popescu: right. by this calculation, the tx in question would not have remained in your pool.
mircea_popescu: if you recall kakobrekla at the time it was merely broadcast and "not yet included" (in the public version of the blockchain), it had a very low priority.
sturles: 0 fee tx are thrown out if the priority is lower than what is required. Currently 142186611.6926576.
kakobrekla: why would it have low priority?
mircea_popescu: sturles this one was never 100mn.
sturles: OK. I don't know anything about the tx in question. How old were the inputs?
sturles: Size in BTC is in satishi. Age in number of confirmations.
sturles: *satoshi
kakobrekla: txid de9bc173174f5ae97e7fe0d2e171647cade189c76f9cbe48f37494c973aca2e4
mircea_popescu: ^
sturles: priority = sum(input_value_in_base_units * input_age)/size_in_bytes
kakobrekla: and just sum the discrete inputs ages ?
mircea_popescu: no, sum the product
sturles: The transaction has one 3 month old input of 15.898 BTC. This alone may be enough to push the priority high enough.
kakobrekla: anyway, sturles is giving us his current mempoolminpriority, which doesnt mean it was the same a week ago.
mircea_popescu: yeah but for practical reasons doesn't also vary too much, or you get drowned.
mircea_popescu: in any case, at the time this was discussed in the logs, the miner priority was in the 9th decile, about 16% of the global mempool. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ie, 84% of txn in the mempool had a higher priority.
mircea_popescu: of the ~50mb mempool, that is.
sturles: Mu mempool is 1 GB with 300MB reserved for high priority..
mircea_popescu: (obviously because no protocol there is no actual definition of "mempool size" other than rough consensus, but wehartevers)
sturles: It isn't full now, btw.
mircea_popescu: yeah, mempool is low now for some reason, across the board.
mircea_popescu: since ~yesterday, fell of a cliff. who knows.
sturles: There was a spam attack, which stopped.
mircea_popescu: that ~could~ be the explanation, sure.
mircea_popescu: for the curious, mempool was as high as 80mb during february, but recently it's ~8 or so.
mircea_popescu: (recently ie, in march)
sturles: Where is this number from? Mine is:
sturles: "size": 41322,
sturles: "bytes": 424008174,
sturles: "usage": 913135280,
kakobrekla: according to some; http://i.imgur.com/BdJFEc1.png
assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/21K85Yz )
mircea_popescu: sturles from my own nodes' estimation of what the "mempool" is currently.
mircea_popescu: built on the basis of what other nodes advertise as txn
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla haha is that yours ?
kakobrekla: no
mircea_popescu: nuts.
kakobrekla: its what 'tradeblock' reports
mircea_popescu: check that out, "TradeBlock serves financial institutions with execution and analysis tools that capitalize on the potential of blockchain technologies."
sturles: By default Bitcoin Core will evict transactions which has been in the mempool for more than three days. A bad idea, because those will just come back from a node which had the transaction for less than three days, but since transactions paying a fee lower than the -minrelayfee threshold are throttled most low and 0-fee transactions will be kept out for most of the time. I'm sure there are an infinite amount of them.. ☟︎
kakobrekla has to run bbl
mircea_popescu: it's a cheap hack, made sense at the time
mircea_popescu: (2010 ?)
sturles: Back in 2010 there was no eviction in place. Valid transactions stayed in the mempool until mined. Various eviction strategies have been tried for the last couple of years.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall when this "3 day" thing got introduced, but longer than coupla years ago i think.

mircea_popescu: fucking evil bs, child pays for parent, let's invent OTHER ways to import meaningless state into bitcoin and fuck it all up
sturles: If a transaction pays too low fees to get included, and you spend an output of the transaction with a high fee, a miner may want to mine both.
asciilifeform: sturles: you do not see the basic problem with taking a tx on faith ?
asciilifeform: for whatever purpose.
mircea_popescu: maybe if wot-ed nodes...
sturles: People spend unconfirmed outputs all the time. Bitcoin Core even does it by itself, if the output was generated by yourself.
mircea_popescu: sturles yes, and THAT IS A BUG IN PRB.
asciilifeform: sturles: trb WON'T ACCEPT a tx with even ONE unconfirmed input.
asciilifeform: do you know this ?
asciilifeform: i did this.
asciilifeform: try to understand WHY.
sturles: We are not talking about orphans here, since we have the parent in the mempool.
asciilifeform: if it is in the mempool, it is not a parent !
mircea_popescu: this argument has some merit, but it's really contrary to bitcoin.
asciilifeform: it is a fetus.
asciilifeform: it might BECOME a parent, ~when it grows up~
sturles: Well, you may call it a fetus. A miner can choose to give birth to both in the same block.
asciilifeform: (gets in a block.)
mircea_popescu: yeah, a miner might choose to do all sorts of patently idiotic shit.
mircea_popescu: this is part of the problem.
asciilifeform: sturles: for 'mights', go to a church.
asciilifeform: trb does not deal in mights.
mircea_popescu: that we allow the miners to do way too much stuff.
asciilifeform: ^
sturles: It is in the design. As long as the order is correct (perent before child in the block), it is accepted.
asciilifeform: sturles: do you know what an ~algorithmic complexity attack~ is ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: allowing chained tx to operate as a unit, in a node, opens you up to one.
asciilifeform: in fact this is happening EVERY MOTHERFUCKING DAY

mircea_popescu: this nonsense is not long of this world, sturles
sturles: I am not saying it is the right way to do it, just that it is how it is.
mircea_popescu: there's no way to write a sane specification for bitcoin that avoids saying specifically "if input tx is not found in a block, tx is invalid"

asciilifeform: and it would have been proper for the protocol to forbid the lunacy by proclaiming that a tx cannot rely on inputs IN SAME BLOCK AS IT.
asciilifeform: but this was not done, because satoshi smoked dope.
mircea_popescu: not too late for that, either.
asciilifeform: this is called a complexity vulnerability, and presently i search for these, elsewhere and far away, for a living.
sturles: It isn't that complex. The uxto set is updated as the block is parsed. The inputs of the sibling will be in the utxo set when it gets to it. It only makes some optimizations somewhat harder.
asciilifeform: sturles: you do not know what computational complexity refers to ??!
asciilifeform: 'it isn't the complex' !?!?!!
asciilifeform: that is a thing that one can say about an algo now ?!
asciilifeform: now i am tempted to say to client, when he asks for theta, 'it isn't that complex'
mircea_popescu: eh simmer down eh
sturles: Yes, and I don't think this is much more complex than requiring each utxo to be in a different block than the one it is spent from.
asciilifeform: !up sturles
asciilifeform: see, requiring inputs-in-old-blocks makes verification O(1).
asciilifeform: tight-bound.
asciilifeform: not doing so, gives you a worst-case of O(N^2) !
asciilifeform: (every shot requires you to look at every other)
asciilifeform: this would be an 'academic' matter, were it not for the fact that the enemy is making full use of it.
asciilifeform: for ~6 mo. now.
asciilifeform: !s spamola
assbot: 6 results for 'spamola' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=spamola
sturles: No, the order must be strict. I.e. the the parent must be confirmed _before_ the sibling.
sturles: If the sibling is _after_ the parent in the block, the block is invalid.
asciilifeform: sturles: how does your node decide if a tx is to be relayed ?
asciilifeform: (assume signature is valid)
sturles: I use normal rules for relaying transactions.
asciilifeform: what does this mean ?
sturles: I haven't looked closely at the code. My node behaves like any other node would. Except it keeps a part of the mempool protected from fee based eviction based on priority.
asciilifeform: sturles: i recommend to look at the code, you're in for some surprises.

pete_dushenski: granted that it's a bit of a pain, and also granting that it's hardly a scalable solution, it does do the trick.
pete_dushenski: this doesn't improve bitbet's position, nor its aims for transparency, but normally transacting users who previously received 'tainted' coins do have recourse.
asciilifeform: worked around ?!
asciilifeform: for one thing, the ~existing~ bets have addrs published.
