2 2017-08-04 06:13:39 0|venzen|wumpus: i assume those are different keys for different uses
3 2017-08-04 07:44:55 0|Chicago|venzen, just ask for the long keyid-format to confirm whether you're using the correct signatures with anything you find. The short keyid is prone to collisions. a 'keyid-format 0xlong' in your gpg.conf will ensure gpg always shows you the long keyid-format.
4 2017-08-04 07:47:24 0|Chicago|venzen, another place to find keys to import is over here, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/gitian-keys
5 2017-08-04 07:49:58 0|venzen|Chicago: thanks, I'll post the link you provide to the r/bitcoin post. The OP seems to be confused and I figured wumpus should be aware of the post
6 2017-08-04 07:52:23 0|Chicago|venzen, I would presume the bitcoin.org (over HTTPS) hosted key is an order of magnitude more trustworthy than anything you randomly find by looking for a short string at the MIT PGP server.
7 2017-08-04 07:54:22 0|venzen|Chicago: agree, PGP key servers being neither secure nor authoritative. Theymos clarified the issue for the OP, so wumpus needn't respond
8 2017-08-04 07:54:59 0|Chicago|yeah, looks like he got to it 15 minutes ago on the Bitcoin subreddit
9 2017-08-04 08:00:51 0|gmaxwell|sipa: perhaps we need a three-liner to detect after loading the block index if the abc first block is in it and marked valid, and if so, trigger the reindex needed message. :(
10 2017-08-04 08:01:13 0|gmaxwell|sipa: I've encounter several other people running into chaos due to abc corrupted blockchains.
11 2017-08-04 08:01:53 0|timothy|gmaxwell: the real problem is that the broken forks (aka abc) uses the bitcoin-core data directory
12 2017-08-04 08:02:11 0|timothy|instead of using another one
13 2017-08-04 08:03:41 0|gmaxwell|timothy: yes, sure, but they were asked to not do these moronic things that would cause harm to users and rather rudely refused to. We can't control them... what we can do is mitigate what harm we can.
14 2017-08-04 08:04:09 0|gmaxwell|reuse of the datadir is hardly the worse of their sins, reuse of the address version will likely cause the most funds loss eventually.
15 2017-08-04 08:05:30 0|timothy|so do you think SIGHASH_FORKID is not enough to protect them?
16 2017-08-04 08:06:28 0|gmaxwell|timothy: no man, already people are losing funds because they swap btc and bcash addresses; this is not surprisign either, because a few altcoins have previously made this mistake and it caused a lot of funds losses there too.
17 2017-08-04 08:07:45 0|timothy|oh right, using compatible addresses can generate chaos for users
18 2017-08-04 08:08:11 0|gmaxwell|it's not quite as bad as the ethereum checksumless stuff, but ... not that much better either.
19 2017-08-04 08:15:06 0|goatpig|it's terribly unsafe
20 2017-08-04 08:15:27 0|goatpig|there's a major attack vector where someone can send you an address that's a nested SW script
21 2017-08-04 08:15:47 0|goatpig|if you fill that on the bcash chain, you just created a anyone can pay output
22 2017-08-04 08:16:20 0|goatpig|their approach is basically killing P2SH on that chain
23 2017-08-04 08:16:29 0|goatpig|Bitcoin is unaffected though
24 2017-08-04 08:24:48 0|gmaxwell|we might end up inadvertantly rescuing them with a more rapid adoption of BIP173 though then there is the same idiocy that may happen four months from now. :( and maybe we should hold back posting the BIP173 integration from core so that it's distinct from the next of these dumb forks.
25 2017-08-04 08:26:37 0|goatpig|bech32 address or not, I'd stay far far away from P2SH on the bcash chain
26 2017-08-04 08:27:35 0|goatpig|they could have simply changed the script hash prefixes and that would have gone a long way to avoid this mess
27 2017-08-04 08:31:46 0|gmaxwell|goatpig: for a lot of places paying to a from plain 1xx address isn't much better.
28 2017-08-04 08:32:23 0|goatpig|i just paid to a bitpay address a couple hours ago and had that same reaction
29 2017-08-04 08:32:24 0|gmaxwell|If my keys are in a hsm, in some offline host, whatever. Fat freeking chance that I'm going to go and load up bcc potential key leaking malware any time soon to go recover lost funds sent to them.
30 2017-08-04 08:32:49 0|goatpig|im implementing bch signing in armory as we speak =D
31 2017-08-04 08:33:04 0|gmaxwell|if bcash price isn't ~0 in short order there will also be a hundred more of these things.
32 2017-08-04 08:33:08 0|goatpig|at least my users won't have to expose their coins to god knows what's in that code
33 2017-08-04 08:33:54 0|gmaxwell|(not that bch is even the first altcoin to airdrop on bitcoin users, just the first with a highly funded marketing effort behind it)
34 2017-08-04 08:34:11 0|goatpig|i didn't even know of the previous attempts
35 2017-08-04 08:34:25 0|goatpig|learned of them through the bch "insistance"
36 2017-08-04 08:39:45 0|gmaxwell|goatpig: I knew of two of them, learned of a few more since.
37 2017-08-04 08:40:48 0|goatpig|what really pissed me off besides the hurried out fork is that they didn't bother contacting people in the ecosystem, nor do i have any idea where to look for their testnet, if they even have one
38 2017-08-04 08:41:21 0|goatpig|no wonder Coinbase is planning to support them in 2018!
39 2017-08-04 08:41:46 0|gmaxwell|they don't have one.
40 2017-08-04 08:42:02 0|goatpig|man... i was afraid it would be the case
41 2017-08-04 08:42:04 0|arubi|it appears you have to sign up to the testnet
42 2017-08-04 08:42:04 0|arubi|I was just thinking maybe there should be an open testnet
43 2017-08-04 08:42:20 0|goatpig|sign up? wth
44 2017-08-04 08:42:57 0|gmaxwell|yea, I was talking to some people about what it would take to support this... there are people out there that have automatically managed keys in HSMs which can't deal with this stuff without being reinitialized, and where any major modification to the software will require an outside security and crypto assessment with a $200k-ish pricetag.
45 2017-08-04 08:42:57 0|goatpig|it's like they want the pretense of open source, but every step they take is to obfuscate development and keep the ecosystem at bay save a few hand picked actors
46 2017-08-04 08:43:05 0|arubi|I saw a message on one of their subreddits, I think it was "ftrader" that told the person asking about it that he'll need to sign up for their slack
47 2017-08-04 08:43:11 0|arubi|at least iirc, I didn't bother
48 2017-08-04 08:43:37 0|gmaxwell|arubi: oh they edited that post to now say "sign up"
49 2017-08-04 08:43:41 0|wallet42|where/how does segwit block data is stored on disk? is it appended to the block in the *.blk files?
50 2017-08-04 08:43:47 0|gmaxwell|https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/issues/36#issuecomment-318662274 it didn't even say that.
51 2017-08-04 08:44:30 0|gmaxwell|wallet42: what? it's stored in the blocks just like it's sent on the wire. you're probably thinking segwit seperates signatures, it does not, it leaves them out of txids, but they're inside transactions.
52 2017-08-04 08:44:56 0|gmaxwell|goatpig: as far as testnet goes, it doesn't pass the unit/system tests that it ships with.
53 2017-08-04 08:45:07 0|arubi|right that's it. was on github
54 2017-08-04 08:45:12 0|goatpig|nice
55 2017-08-04 08:46:19 0|gmaxwell|goatpig: I was trying to make a safer version of it by reverting most of the code to things tracable to audited code; then trying their tests to see what the changes broke... wasted a bunch of time because the tests never passed to begin with.
56 2017-08-04 08:46:50 0|goatpig|let's look at it like this: at least they build!
57 2017-08-04 08:47:09 0|arubi|now I know what I'm doing tomorrow
58 2017-08-04 08:47:20 0|arubi|regtest didn't complain, at least that helped with the sighash thing
59 2017-08-04 08:48:10 0|arubi|well, didn't break more like it
60 2017-08-04 08:57:19 0|jonasschnelli|achow101 Ping. I have read on the gitian related github repos that you also had problems with LXC and "init.lxc: failed to mount /dev/shm : No such file or directory"
61 2017-08-04 08:57:21 0|jonasschnelli|Any idea?
62 2017-08-04 08:57:30 0|jonasschnelli|... how to solve this?
63 2017-08-04 08:57:52 0|jonasschnelli|SInce updating from jessie to strech (debian 8 - 9) I'm no longer capable to build with LXC
64 2017-08-04 09:01:01 0|aj|jonasschnelli: do you need to make a symlink to /run/shm?
65 2017-08-04 09:01:35 0|jonasschnelli|aj: can you elaborate more in detail?
66 2017-08-04 09:02:06 0|jonasschnelli|symlink /run/shm to /dev/shm?
67 2017-08-04 09:02:24 0|aj|jonasschnelli: not accurately without checkng some details. :) /dev/shm got renamed to /run/shm (and maybe removed entirely?)
68 2017-08-04 09:04:21 0|jonasschnelli|lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Aug 3 21:51 /run/shm -> /dev/shm
69 2017-08-04 09:04:38 0|jonasschnelli|There is already a symlink to /dev/shm? :/
70 2017-08-04 09:05:03 0|jonasschnelli|I guess the problem lies where gitian create it's containers with debootstrap instead of lxc-create
71 2017-08-04 09:05:21 0|jonasschnelli|(which probably creates the incompatibility with stretch)(
72 2017-08-04 09:07:12 0|jonasschnelli|And I guess "init.lxc: failed to mount /dev/shm : No such file or directory" is raised within the container.
73 2017-08-04 09:08:02 0|aj|jonasschnelli: hmm, is /run/shm in the container a symlink or directory or non-existant?
74 2017-08-04 09:10:17 0|jonasschnelli|aj: within the container, ls: cannot access /dev/shm: No such file or directory
75 2017-08-04 09:10:27 0|jonasschnelli|I'll try to create it in bootstrap fixes
76 2017-08-04 09:12:44 0|aj|jonasschnelli: the jessie release notes suggest setting autodev=1 -- https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#lxc-upgrade-issues
77 2017-08-04 09:12:53 0|aj|jonasschnelli: seems like that shouldn't be your issue though
78 2017-08-04 09:13:05 0|jonasschnelli|Oh.. Let me try that
79 2017-08-04 09:14:21 0|jonasschnelli|aj: hmm.. added lxc.autodev = 1 to my gitian builders etc/lxc.config.in
80 2017-08-04 09:14:28 0|jonasschnelli|But still get the same error while gbuild
81 2017-08-04 09:16:40 0|jonasschnelli|aj: It worked on jessie... it does not work on stretch
82 2017-08-04 09:18:05 0|aj|jonasschnelli: i think as of stretch autodev=1 is the default
83 2017-08-04 09:18:50 0|aj|jonasschnelli: yeah, jessie was 1.0.6, stetch is 2.0.7, it changed around 1.1.2
84 2017-08-04 09:19:28 0|jonasschnelli|lxc.autodev = 0 solves the issue "init.lxc: failed to mount /dev/shm : No such file or directory"
85 2017-08-04 09:19:32 0|jonasschnelli|Though other error appear. :)

88 2017-08-04 09:20:12 0|aj|jonasschnelli: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/12912 has a change to make it actually create /dev/shm when trying to mount, but it's supposed to be applied already the way i read it
89 2017-08-04 09:20:53 0|jonasschnelli|aj: Thanks. I'll look into it after lunch...
90 2017-08-04 09:24:18 0|Chicago|Why not continue using Jesse, it hasn't reached end-of-life quite yet.
91 2017-08-04 09:27:53 0|jonasschnelli|Chicago: I have already upgraded and downgrade seems painful
92 2017-08-04 09:28:04 0|jonasschnelli|But I would not upgrade again...
93 2017-08-04 09:32:14 0|Chicago|Just for Gitian building, using a Virtualbox instance seems to be an easy 5 minute build. If using QEMU/LXC, then maybe more time consuming.
94 2017-08-04 09:32:36 0|Chicago|I'm doing it with libvirtd and Virtual Manager, its pretty efficient and fast when creating a new Gitian VM.
95 2017-08-04 09:33:09 0|aj|jonasschnelli: is the container ubuntu or debian?
96 2017-08-04 09:33:25 0|aj|jonasschnelli: (is the config available somewhere?)
97 2017-08-04 09:37:12 0|aj|jonasschnelli: oh, it's gitian, duh
98 2017-08-04 09:42:03 0|aj|jonasschnelli: adding """lxc.mount.entry=shm dev/shm tmpfs rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid,relatime,mode=1777,create=dir 0 0

100 2017-08-04 10:51:41 0|jonasschnelli|aj: Okay. Let me try that
101 2017-08-04 11:01:46 0|jonasschnelli|aj: the mount error is gone with the additional lxc.mount point, but there are still other issues... mainly:

109 2017-08-04 11:15:49 0|Chicago|jonasschnelli, awesome :)
110 2017-08-04 11:16:47 0|aj|jonasschnelli: wow, what a mess :(
111 2017-08-04 11:17:23 0|jonasschnelli|Chicago: Do you use VirtualBox instead of LXC/KVM(qemu) for the guest/build VM? Of for the host VM?
112 2017-08-04 11:21:01 0|Chicago|jonasschnelli, I'm currently very happy with libvirtd ran through Virtual Manager with Debian 8 as the guest VM operating system. Gitian decides which OS is used for the image, in the recipe. (currently its Trusty)
113 2017-08-04 11:21:24 0|Chicago|The host OS is Gentoo GNU/Linux x86_64.
114 2017-08-04 11:22:00 0|jonasschnelli|Hmm... Chicago: I use a "physical debian 9" as the host for gitian (no VM in between),... gitian then spinns the LXC ubuntu trusty on that physical host.
115 2017-08-04 11:22:39 0|jonasschnelli|I wonder if using the gitians VirtualBox way to deterministically build is faster then LXC... though I doubt it.
116 2017-08-04 11:23:24 0|Chicago|Well... there are tricks to it. You can update the Gitian configuration to use more memory and processors than the 3000M of RAM and 2 vCPU it calls for out-of-the-box.
117 2017-08-04 11:28:22 0|jonasschnelli|Chicago: indeed. Speeding up with mem and parallelism makes sense... also dependency caching can maybe be improved
118 2017-08-04 11:29:42 0|Chicago|hell... if you have a big box, put everything into a tmpfs
119 2017-08-04 11:29:58 0|Chicago|40G ain't much RAM on modern gear.
120 2017-08-04 11:56:34 0|jonasschnelli|Chicago: I doubt it's much faster then running on the 1GB/s SSD
121 2017-08-04 11:56:58 0|jonasschnelli|disk access seems to be not the issue. Compiling is usual pure CPU, not?
122 2017-08-04 11:58:43 0|Chicago|VT-x extensions will give the compiler access to the vCPU, but compiling and linking still has disk i/o and SSD is still at least > 1 order of magnitude slower then RAM.
123 2017-08-04 12:27:40 0|jonasschnelli|Can't the updating apt and "Upgrading system" in gitian be cached?
124 2017-08-04 12:27:47 0|jonasschnelli|Installing additional packages (log in var/install.log)
125 2017-08-04 12:27:47 0|jonasschnelli|Updating apt-get repository (log in var/install.log)
126 2017-08-04 12:27:47 0|jonasschnelli|Upgrading system, may take a while
127 2017-08-04 12:27:57 0|jonasschnelli|Those steps seems to take a couple of minues.
128 2017-08-04 12:28:16 0|jonasschnelli|Caching as long as the hash of the descriptor hasn't changed?
129 2017-08-04 12:30:06 0|Chicago|Well, you know once the base image is built; it could be a few weeks between Bitcoin release cycles; and so it has to build the dependency graph and do the package installations deterministically such that if you built an image last month with Trusty and I built an image today with Trusty, we both end up getting the exact same depgraph when we go to build everything.
130 2017-08-04 12:30:33 0|Chicago|The caching comes from apt-cacher-ng so that you don't have to repeatedly fetch those files.
131 2017-08-04 12:51:32 0|MarcoFalke|Would it be sufficient to call invalidateblock $abc_block ?
132 2017-08-04 12:52:02 0|MarcoFalke|sorry, replied to scrollback.

139 2017-08-04 16:04:07 0|wumpus|jonasschnelli: 7 minutes for a full build? that's pretty impressive
140 2017-08-04 16:08:02 0|wumpus|and yeah, more archs is expected to be linearly slower in their number
141 2017-08-04 16:08:18 0|wumpus|although it helps we don't build qt executables for ARM - I guess
142 2017-08-04 16:09:00 0|wumpus|although building the GUI shouldn't add that much time, given that qt itself is cached ofcourse, building qt itself is a whole other story
