  25 2010-11-26 01:24:54 <OneFixt> you might want to ask around if you have an idea of who it might have been

  27 2010-11-26 01:26:01 <BostX> OneFixt, well, it was me... im getting to know what bc is and how it works. I sent 0.01 from one comp to another
  28 2010-11-26 01:26:18 <BostX> OneFixt, and now I want to send it back but...
  29 2010-11-26 01:26:43 <OneFixt> did it show up on the other computer?
  30 2010-11-26 01:26:46 <BostX> OneFixt, it's an insane to type the whole address on a command line ...
  31 2010-11-26 01:26:57 <OneFixt> oh, copy paste if you can
  32 2010-11-26 01:26:59 <BostX> OneFixt, yea that part works
  33 2010-11-26 01:27:30 <OneFixt> there's no option to "return" coins to whoever sent it
  34 2010-11-26 01:27:34 <BostX> OneFixt, well it took several hours to catch all the 90 000 blocks but finally it arrived
  35 2010-11-26 01:27:42 <OneFixt> =) welcome
  36 2010-11-26 01:27:55 <BostX> OneFixt, :) yea :)
  37 2010-11-26 01:28:16 <BostX> OneFixt, but the addresses is a pain...
  38 2010-11-26 01:28:21 <ByteCoin> OneFixt: In principle, all the information is there to allow you to return coins if you wish..
  39 2010-11-26 01:28:38 <BostX> ByteCoin, ? where?
  40 2010-11-26 01:28:56 <ByteCoin> BostX: Tell me the address that was credited with the coins and I'll tell you where they came from.
  41 2010-11-26 01:29:06 <ByteCoin> Then I'll tell you how to find out yourself
  42 2010-11-26 01:29:31 <BostX> and another thing - everytime I reboot or reconnect to inet I get yet another address...
  43 2010-11-26 01:31:09 <BostX> ByteCoin, ? do u wanna know the receiver's or sender's address
  44 2010-11-26 01:31:34 * BostX don't talk OZUMLKU to me
  45 2010-11-26 01:31:51 <ByteCoin> BostX: I thought you wanted to return them. Presumably the sender's address is what you're trying to find out?
  46 2010-11-26 01:32:02 <BostX> ByteCoin, right :)
  47 2010-11-26 01:32:09 <ByteCoin> I presume the receiver's address is you...
  48 2010-11-26 01:32:18 <ByteCoin> One of your addresses
  49 2010-11-26 01:32:51 <ByteCoin> Funnily enough, the information that you must tell me is the information you have rather than the stuff you don't know.
  50 2010-11-26 01:34:04 <BostX> well I sent the coin to ..... grrr, i cannot copy&paste it :(
  51 2010-11-26 01:34:12 <OneFixt> ByteCoin: true, technically
  52 2010-11-26 01:34:21 <ByteCoin> Best kind of true
  53 2010-11-26 01:34:25 <OneFixt> =)
  54 2010-11-26 01:34:41 <OneFixt> just not guaranteed that the person will still have the address etc.
  55 2010-11-26 01:34:45 <OneFixt> but in this case it should be fine
  56 2010-11-26 01:34:53 <ByteCoin> I only need six or so characters from the middle
  57 2010-11-26 01:35:00 <ByteCoin> No need to type the whole thing...
  58 2010-11-26 01:35:04 <ByteCoin> Of your address
  59 2010-11-26 01:35:12 * BostX was smart and stored every bc address in his email
  60 2010-11-26 01:35:52 <ByteCoin> You might as well tell me the amount transferred so I can check that the info is consistent
  61 2010-11-26 01:36:05 <ByteCoin> What's the delay?
  62 2010-11-26 01:36:43 <BostX> ok, the  receiver was 1PyDFXTSBxHE8Tu7BBRpzVoVmhvob8xzdZ
  63 2010-11-26 01:36:51 <BostX> 0.01
  64 2010-11-26 01:36:58 <ByteCoin> ok. wait a bit
  65 2010-11-26 01:37:10 <BostX> ByteCoin, how u gonna do it?
  66 2010-11-26 01:38:06 <BostX> OneFixt, no no I still keep the 0.01
  67 2010-11-26 01:38:08 <ByteCoin> Sent from 1EqZYt8zortMyMj2DLDA9r46xUVButWdWP
  68 2010-11-26 01:38:21 <BostX> ByteCoin, RIGHT!
  69 2010-11-26 01:38:32 <BostX> ByteCoin, how did you find it?
  70 2010-11-26 01:38:48 <ByteCoin> Go to https://blockexplorer.com/ and type part of the address in the search box
  71 2010-11-26 01:40:10 <BostX> ByteCoin, thx! but is it possible to get this info somehow on my local comp?
  72 2010-11-26 01:40:51 <BostX> ByteCoin, u know blockexplorer.com might get hacked
  73 2010-11-26 01:40:59 <ByteCoin> The raw info is on your local computer in blk0001.dat. The trick is to interpret it.
  74 2010-11-26 01:41:10 <ByteCoin> Oh, that is if you're running bitcoin
  75 2010-11-26 01:41:29 <BostX> ByteCoin, yea I do... leme c it
  76 2010-11-26 01:42:03 <ByteCoin> I could do it using my own software but it's not set up for it. blk0001.dat is a data file.
  77 2010-11-26 01:42:17 <ByteCoin> You can't open it in notepad etc..
  78 2010-11-26 01:42:40 <ByteCoin> blockexplorer will be fine.
  79 2010-11-26 01:43:01 <BostX> ByteCoin, well I tried 'head blk0001.dat'...
  80 2010-11-26 01:43:09 * BostX ����
  81 2010-11-26 01:43:28 <ByteCoin> Unless you're a programmer, don't get involvedf
  82 2010-11-26 01:43:47 <BostX> that's the concent of my blk0001.dat
  83 2010-11-26 01:43:52 <BostX> yea Im
  84 2010-11-26 01:49:23 <BostX> btw what mean the '?' if I take look at the transactions on the blockexplorer?
  85 2010-11-26 01:49:49 <ByteCoin> It's a bit pants... It just facilitates mouseover information.
  86 2010-11-26 01:52:47 <BostX> oh that works really miserable... leme check it how it works in fireforx
  87 2010-11-26 01:52:53 <BostX> i use chrome
  88 2010-11-26 01:53:57 <BostX> firefox shows it better but it still has some potential for improvement

  93 2010-11-26 01:56:34 <OneFixt> ByteCoin: I had 100 coins at this address - sent 50 and 50 one right after the other, and I ended up only receiving 50 instead of the 100.
  94 2010-11-26 01:56:37 <ByteCoin> I see it
  95 2010-11-26 01:56:47 <OneFixt> My bitcoind says balance is 0, so I can't re-send.
  96 2010-11-26 01:56:53 <OneFixt> Block explorer still says balance is 50.
  97 2010-11-26 01:57:17 BostX has quit (Quit: Leaving)
  98 2010-11-26 01:57:49 <ByteCoin> Try closing bitcoind and restarting it.
  99 2010-11-26 01:57:58 <OneFixt> Ok, I'll try.
 100 2010-11-26 01:58:46 <OneFixt> Didn't help.
 101 2010-11-26 01:59:02 <ByteCoin> Hmm...
 102 2010-11-26 01:59:06 <OneFixt> My hunch is that I may have to re-download the blocks... but that's a pain.
 103 2010-11-26 01:59:24 <ByteCoin> It's worth a forum post perhaps...
 104 2010-11-26 01:59:26 <OneFixt> Or can bitcoind re-scan them to calculate the balance?
 105 2010-11-26 01:59:35 <ByteCoin> Put where and when you sent them
 106 2010-11-26 01:59:55 <ByteCoin> I'm not a great expert on the current software
 107 2010-11-26 02:00:35 <OneFixt> ok, thanks
 108 2010-11-26 02:01:00 <OneFixt> I am going to try one thing first - copying the wallet to a different location and re-downloading the blocks to see if it finds the coins.
 109 2010-11-26 02:02:03 <ByteCoin> That's a good first step.
 110 2010-11-26 02:02:35 <ByteCoin> Might be worth shutting down the bitcoind that sent the coins while the other new client is running
 111 2010-11-26 02:02:45 <ByteCoin> The old might contaminate the new
 112 2010-11-26 02:03:20 <OneFixt> I was thinking of doing it on another machine.
 113 2010-11-26 02:03:38 <ByteCoin> I know. Nevertheless, shut down the other bitcoind
 114 2010-11-26 02:04:06 <ByteCoin> It might get contaminated over the network.
 115 2010-11-26 02:04:23 <ByteCoin> It's somewhat unlikely but better to rule it out.
 116 2010-11-26 02:05:31 <OneFixt> hm... satoshi wrote something like this on the forum:
 117 2010-11-26 02:05:31 <OneFixt> There's some kind of rescan in the block loading code that was made to repair the case where someone copied their wallet.dat.  I would need to check that the rescan handles the case of rediscovering received payments in blocks that were already received, but are forgotten because the wallet was restored.

 125 2010-11-26 03:10:53 <OneFixt> ByteCoin: Re-downloading the blocks didn't get the coins back =/
 126 2010-11-26 03:14:46 <OneFixt> yikes, I think I had 2 bitcoin instances, on different computers, start out with the same empty wallets
 127 2010-11-26 03:14:55 <OneFixt> but those wallets had keys...
 128 2010-11-26 03:15:20 <OneFixt> and now when I send from one wallet, coins disappear in the other, or something like that
 129 2010-11-26 03:19:26 <ByteCoin> OneFixt: I can't help you. Write everything in a forum post and they'll sort it out.
 130 2010-11-26 03:20:10 <ByteCoin> The good news is that the block chain thinks you still have the coins.
 131 2010-11-26 03:21:09 <OneFixt> I had another strange disappearance just happen
 132 2010-11-26 03:21:10 * OneFixt shruts
 133 2010-11-26 03:21:13 * OneFixt shrugs
 134 2010-11-26 03:21:29 <ByteCoin> Ooops. I tell a lie. The block chain says you've sent both to 1EWbkLgfzpqqYW1dd2dhbPrwQJYFTioUpK
 135 2010-11-26 03:22:28 <ByteCoin> The last block of 50 was only incorporated into the chain about 10 minutes ago
 136 2010-11-26 03:23:04 <ByteCoin> I wonder if this is because of the current spam flood.
 137 2010-11-26 03:23:54 <OneFixt> Now that's interesting.. because I sent it from a different bitcoind, on a different machine.
 138 2010-11-26 03:24:15 <OneFixt> oh.. let me see if it could be spam
 139 2010-11-26 03:24:46 <OneFixt> there doesn't seem to be spam currently (but there was a 50k transaction)
 140 2010-11-26 03:25:16 <ByteCoin> I assure you, there's spam currenty
 141 2010-11-26 03:25:30 <ByteCoin> currenty spam! yum!
 142 2010-11-26 03:26:03 <OneFixt> What seems to have happened, is that I messed up my bitcoind installation by cloning it
 143 2010-11-26 03:26:07 <OneFixt> and now things are strange
 144 2010-11-26 03:30:56 xulrunner42 has joined
 145 2010-11-26 03:38:20 <OneFixt> Looks like several computers had the same addresses, and all thought they had coins when in fact it was just one batch of coins that they had, and then when I sent from one, the others either tried to double-send or noticed that they had nothing left and updated the balance.
 146 2010-11-26 03:38:27 <OneFixt> Looks like I won't lose coins, but will have to do some cleaning.
 147 2010-11-26 03:38:50 <xulrunner42> Oh, you copied your wallet :x
 148 2010-11-26 03:38:52 <xulrunner42> Mistake
 149 2010-11-26 03:39:44 <OneFixt> yeah, it was empty, but it had pre-generated keys
 150 2010-11-26 03:40:59 <OneFixt> I didn't copy any coins, but when one bitcoind received coins, the other thought that it also had those coins (as far as I can tell).
 151 2010-11-26 03:41:48 <OneFixt> every time that you generate a block, does it get generated to one address, or to a new one?
 152 2010-11-26 03:45:36 <xulrunner42> I think they come to Your Address
 153 2010-11-26 03:45:40 <xulrunner42> But that's a totally uninformed guess
 154 2010-11-26 03:46:00 <xulrunner42> Do you have a netbook?
 155 2010-11-26 03:48:23 <xulrunner42> Are there any bitcoin droid apps yet

 158 2010-11-26 03:56:53 <joe_1> files are .img (what is that), font is incredibly small, some things are crossed out, the setences make no sense
 159 2010-11-26 03:59:00 <joe_1> ok i goggled img and now i knwo what it is. but i dont see any bitcoin apps
 160 2010-11-26 03:59:06 <xulrunner42> Well, not yet
 161 2010-11-26 03:59:15 <xulrunner42> I just read the forum post to get a bitcoin app going though
 162 2010-11-26 03:59:23 <xulrunner42> They are disk images
 163 2010-11-26 03:59:29 <xulrunner42> I had to build 20 just to get this far
 164 2010-11-26 03:59:34 <xulrunner42> You can run android on your netbook :D
 165 2010-11-26 03:59:44 <xulrunner42> That's why all of the cross-outs
 166 2010-11-26 03:59:47 <xulrunner42> And small print
 167 2010-11-26 03:59:59 <joe_1> wow
 168 2010-11-26 04:00:29 <xulrunner42> I think the source tree is in a pretty good state now
 169 2010-11-26 04:00:53 <xulrunner42> If you get the one with a star, it works pretty good... today's build actually brings the wifi up on boot, if you uncheck ethernet first
 170 2010-11-26 04:01:13 <xulrunner42> I think that all of this is very hardware dependent
 171 2010-11-26 04:01:43 <xulrunner42> There is a generic_x86 target as well, but I don't have any hardware that can run it

 184 2010-11-26 04:05:09 <nanotube> OneFixt: but if you have several clients trying to gen with a cloned wallet... they could be working on the same address. because the key for generation is chosen from the keypool.
 185 2010-11-26 04:05:23 <nanotube> so you really shouldn't run the same wallet from different places. :)

 195 2010-11-26 04:26:56 <MT`AwAy> (like https://smsz.net/ which works nicely, but which has no design)
 196 2010-11-26 04:27:20 <nanotube> anyone know what the new fee schedule is like in version .17? the announcement forum post said something about 'different free transaction limits'...
 197 2010-11-26 04:28:20 <MT`AwAy> nanotube: http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=transaction_fee ?
 198 2010-11-26 04:28:26 <ArtForz> doesnt look like it changed from r186
 199 2010-11-26 04:28:41 <ArtForz> err r187
 200 2010-11-26 04:28:52 <MT`AwAy> mh, nothing written there in fact :(
 201 2010-11-26 04:30:39 <nanotube> ArtForz: the .17 announcement, http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=1946.0 has one of the items as "free transaction limits" ... so what gives?
 202 2010-11-26 04:30:56 <nanotube> also, the transaction_fee wiki mentions 0.3.16 - and that version never existed, it seems.
 203 2010-11-26 04:31:37 <ArtForz> we reduced fee-free size to 27kB
 204 2010-11-26 04:32:04 <nanotube> ah ic
 205 2010-11-26 04:32:06 <MT`AwAy> "The UI transaction fee setting was easy since it was still there from 0.1.5 and all I had to do was re-enable it"
 206 2010-11-26 04:32:11 <nanotube> it used to be 50kb or so?
 207 2010-11-26 04:32:16 <ArtForz> also, only allow a few k of fee-less 0-confirm based TX
 208 2010-11-26 04:32:35 <nanotube> any idea what happened with .16, ArtForz ? :)
 209 2010-11-26 04:32:41 <ArtForz> never released I think
 210 2010-11-26 04:33:03 <ArtForz> r188 was .16
 211 2010-11-26 04:33:29 <nanotube> mmm
 212 2010-11-26 04:34:01 <nanotube> so it seems that satoshi decided not to go for "all tx have fee at least 0.001 (or something to that effect)" ?
 213 2010-11-26 04:34:09 <ArtForz> for now, no
 214 2010-11-26 04:34:13 <ArtForz> looks like gavin is still working out the kinks in the account handling RPC stuff

 240 2010-11-26 05:32:05 <nanotube> ArtForz: in the .17 announcement he says "thanks m0mchil for the getwork"... i'd have thought it would be compatible :)
 241 2010-11-26 05:32:54 <ArtForz> I think Diablo-D3 said the endianness is different
 242 2010-11-26 05:33:43 <doublec> satoshi went through the differences here iirc http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=1901.msg24149;
 243 2010-11-26 05:34:16 <nanotube> mmm
 244 2010-11-26 05:34:33 <theymos> ArtForz: You said something that made me believe that the SVN r184 "efficiently sort transaction dependencies in one pass" change only really makes a difference for people mining with lots of GPUs. Is that right?
 245 2010-11-26 05:34:51 <ArtForz> not quite
 246 2010-11-26 05:35:06 <ArtForz> with enough queued transactions it will affect CPU miners as well
 247 2010-11-26 05:35:38 <theymos> Every miner multiplies it?
 248 2010-11-26 05:35:52 <ArtForz> yep
 249 2010-11-26 05:36:00 <theymos> Thanks.
 250 2010-11-26 05:36:35 <ArtForz> CPU overhead basically scaled as num_miners * (num_transactions ^ 2)
 251 2010-11-26 05:37:26 <ByteCoin> Why squared in the number of txns?
 252 2010-11-26 05:38:09 <ArtForz> I think because it scanned all other cached transactions for each transaction
 253 2010-11-26 05:38:23 <ByteCoin> *shudders*
 254 2010-11-26 05:38:35 <ArtForz> = a twice nested loop over cached txes = O(n^2)
 255 2010-11-26 05:39:53 <ArtForz> the changed algo should scale O(n)
 256 2010-11-26 05:40:26 <ArtForz> and with satoshis getwork changes number of miners shouldnt affect it at all

 264 2010-11-26 06:24:00 <davux> hi!
 265 2010-11-26 06:24:44 <davux> is it true that the transaction history of any address can be deduced from the block chain?
 266 2010-11-26 06:24:58 <ByteCoin> yes
 267 2010-11-26 06:25:54 <davux> how hard would it be to program an interface that takes an address as input, and outputs a list of transactions?
 268 2010-11-26 06:26:03 <davux> like a web page for example
 269 2010-11-26 06:26:11 <davux> it could be pretty useful
 270 2010-11-26 06:26:17 <ArtForz> http://blockexplorer.com/
 271 2010-11-26 06:26:19 <ByteCoin> like https://blockexplorer.com/
 272 2010-11-26 06:27:01 <davux> oh :)
 273 2010-11-26 06:27:28 <ByteCoin> Roll your own. His doesn't display transaction and block sizes...
 274 2010-11-26 06:27:31 <davux> how comes the "from" appears, but doesn't in the official client?
 275 2010-11-26 06:28:28 <ByteCoin> Probably because the from address can only be calculated if the coins you're using are from standard transactions
 276 2010-11-26 06:28:53 <ByteCoin> The bitcoin client is probably interested in handling the general case
 277 2010-11-26 06:29:15 <ArtForz> not to mention it's useless for general use
 278 2010-11-26 06:29:29 <ByteCoin> yeah? explain...
 279 2010-11-26 06:30:25 <ArtForz> well, whats the use case?
 280 2010-11-26 06:31:00 <ByteCoin> Uhh.. all the transactions in the block chain
 281 2010-11-26 06:31:17 <ArtForz> okay, whats the use case of DISPLAYING that?
 282 2010-11-26 06:31:20 <ByteCoin> AFAIK they are all transactions from one address to another
 283 2010-11-26 06:31:25 <ArtForz> you received 50 btc from xyz, which got those from a generation in block 123. hooray.
 284 2010-11-26 06:32:15 <ByteCoin> I see your point.... but it does enable refunds!
 285 2010-11-26 06:32:50 <ByteCoin> I don't know whether people would like to track transactions by having their payments have come from a certain address
 286 2010-11-26 06:33:36 <ByteCoin> Suppose you have coins in 1Artforz12345... You might publish it as yours and have payments made to and from it
 287 2010-11-26 06:34:06 <ByteCoin> Does any of this persuade you?
 288 2010-11-26 06:34:17 <theymos> You can't send coins from a specific address currently. It would be nice if you could.
 289 2010-11-26 06:34:42 <ByteCoin> Well you can by running multiple clients but I take your point
 290 2010-11-26 06:35:03 <ByteCoin> The spammer seems to have some control over addresses in this fashion
 291 2010-11-26 06:35:20 <ArtForz> as far as I can tell he's running 2 clients
 292 2010-11-26 06:35:42 dwdollar has left ()
 293 2010-11-26 06:35:44 <ByteCoin> I'm writing a wallet handler and transaction generator. This will certainly be included functionality
 294 2010-11-26 06:36:30 <ByteCoin> Is the spammer's IP discernable or is he using TOR or suchlike?
 295 2010-11-26 06:37:38 <ArtForz> dunno, but if I were the spammer I'd use TOR or simialr to connect to a bunch of nodes
 296 2010-11-26 06:38:21 <ByteCoin> Artforz: Have I made a good case for displaying where the coins in your payment come from? I am curious.
 297 2010-11-26 06:38:27 <ArtForz> nope
 298 2010-11-26 06:39:01 <theymos> It should be displayed when you double-click it. It's not really useful, but it's interesting.
 299 2010-11-26 06:39:06 <ArtForz> yep
 300 2010-11-26 06:39:07 <ByteCoin> Ok... perhaps the time isn't ripe for my wallet manager
 301 2010-11-26 06:39:11 <davux> what spammer?
 302 2010-11-26 06:39:12 <ArtForz> stuff it in a debug window
 303 2010-11-26 06:39:56 * jgarzik wonders how to figure out block size for an arbitrary block (and/or TX), from within bitcoin
 304 2010-11-26 06:40:09 * jgarzik wants to modify getblockbycount (formerly 'getblock') to spit out sizes
 305 2010-11-26 06:40:29 <jgarzik> I suppose I could serialize, then get length of that
 306 2010-11-26 06:40:29 <ArtForz> wast it something like getserializedsize or something?
 307 2010-11-26 06:40:31 <ByteCoin> jgarzik: I would be tempted to issue the relevant getblock command over the TCP interface
 308 2010-11-26 06:40:48 <ByteCoin> Then count the number of bytes coming back
 309 2010-11-26 06:41:07 <ByteCoin> Seriously guys, I don't know why you like json-rpc so much
 310 2010-11-26 06:41:18 <ArtForz> me neither
 311 2010-11-26 06:41:21 <jgarzik> ByteCoin: "from within bitcoin"
 312 2010-11-26 06:41:25 <ByteCoin> You get good info by pretending to be a client
 313 2010-11-26 06:41:40 <ArtForz> ByteCoin: guess why I wrote that half-a-client?
 314 2010-11-26 06:42:05 <ByteCoin> ArtForz:Hmm..... I wonder.....
 315 2010-11-26 06:42:23 <ByteCoin> Could it be that you're not at the whim of someone else's software?
 316 2010-11-26 06:42:37 <ByteCoin> Could it be that nobody can stop you doing what you want?
 317 2010-11-26 06:42:58 <ByteCoin> Could it be that you can't really be lied to?
 318 2010-11-26 06:43:20 <ArtForz> hint: try writing something to monitor txes and blocks as your node gets them
 319 2010-11-26 06:43:21 <ByteCoin> Could it be that you're immune to a lot of versioning problems?
 320 2010-11-26 06:44:07 <ArtForz> not to metnion it serves as a nice documention of the network protocol
 321 2010-11-26 06:44:14 <tylergillies> will entering a fee into client make it any faster? or will that only affect speed later on?
 322 2010-11-26 06:44:22 <nanotube> ArtForz: is your half-a-client code posted somewhere?
 323 2010-11-26 06:44:31 <ArtForz> yep
 324 2010-11-26 06:44:35 <ByteCoin> ArtForz: Yeah. I'm in the process. Didn't quite get the opoint of the hint
 325 2010-11-26 06:44:49 <theymos> tylergillies: It makes your transactions faster when someone is spamming the network.
 326 2010-11-26 06:44:53 <ByteCoin> I have monitored the txes and blocks
 327 2010-11-26 06:45:04 <tylergillies> theymos: does that happen often?
 328 2010-11-26 06:45:17 <ByteCoin> There wasn't anything THAT surprising.
 329 2010-11-26 06:45:25 <ArtForz> http://pastebin.com/ZSM7iHZw
 330 2010-11-26 06:46:00 <ByteCoin> I think I was a bit shocked that new blocks are relayed wholesale when all the clients have most of the transactions already
 331 2010-11-26 06:46:21 <theymos> tylergillies: It's been happening more frequently lately. Personally, I would never pay a fee -- the worst that can happen is a 1-3 hour delay of your transactions.
 332 2010-11-26 06:46:32 <ByteCoin> tylergillies: It's happening now but it's a low impact at the moment
 333 2010-11-26 06:46:36 <ArtForz> and with the tx priritization even that's kidna unlikely
 334 2010-11-26 06:46:57 <ArtForz> normal TXes now get priority over "spammy" looking ones
 335 2010-11-26 06:47:24 <ByteCoin> Would you guys be surprised to find out that occasionally you get blocks >200k bytes?
 336 2010-11-26 06:47:29 <ArtForz> nope
 337 2010-11-26 06:47:31 <jgarzik> no
 338 2010-11-26 06:47:38 <ArtForz> thats blocks from old miners
 339 2010-11-26 06:47:54 <ByteCoin> Fair enough...
 340 2010-11-26 06:48:22 <jgarzik> spam is up to 5 BTC in value, and now uses different to/from addresses
 341 2010-11-26 06:48:30 <ByteCoin> Do you guys want to hear briefly about my "shunning" solution to spam?
 342 2010-11-26 06:48:35 <jgarzik> spammer is playing with the priority system
 343 2010-11-26 06:48:45 <ArtForz> except it wont help him much
 344 2010-11-26 06:49:01 <ArtForz> priority = value * age of inputs
 345 2010-11-26 06:49:59 <theymos> ByteCoin: Satoshi has already talked about "discouraged blocks" -- the network doesn't on blocks that don't follow your fee rules closely enough, but it will accept them if they get one block deep. Is that what you're thinking of?
 346 2010-11-26 06:50:08 <theymos> doesn't build on*
 347 2010-11-26 06:50:51 <ByteCoin> Hmm.. that sounds somewhat worrying.. I would have encouraged a free market for miners when it comes to fees
 348 2010-11-26 06:50:58 <ByteCoin> No that's not it.
 349 2010-11-26 06:51:29 <ByteCoin> theymos: Can you get a reference for that?
 350 2010-11-26 06:51:36 <ByteCoin> Wait
 351 2010-11-26 06:51:48 <ByteCoin> I'm douing a search for "discouraged blocks"
 352 2010-11-26 06:52:19 <theymos> http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=165.msg1595#msg1595
 353 2010-11-26 06:52:26 <theymos> I was worried about it, too, at first. But it only works if a large portion of the network hates your rules.
 354 2010-11-26 06:52:40 <theymos> And generators won't enforce rules that are bad for generators.
 355 2010-11-26 06:53:16 <ByteCoin> Oh no. In the context he was talking about I approve
 356 2010-11-26 06:53:52 <ByteCoin> I was going to post about the problem he mentions.
 357 2010-11-26 06:54:39 <ByteCoin> It's possible to simplify miner software and minimise GPU downtime by just hashing blocks with your coinbase transaction in and NO other transactions.
 358 2010-11-26 06:54:54 <ByteCoin> You get the 50BTC but don't take any trasnactions out of the pool.
 359 2010-11-26 06:55:06 <ByteCoin> Not good for the network
 360 2010-11-26 06:55:32 <ByteCoin> You wouldn't even need to run a full network node
 361 2010-11-26 06:55:55 <ByteCoin> satoshi's method is the only real way to discourage this
 362 2010-11-26 06:56:23 <theymos> The concept of discouraged blocks can be used for other issues. Spam transactions, odd fees, large blocks, etc. A good solution to the block size thing would be to set 1MB as "preferred" and up to 20MB as "discouraged", with sizes above that being refused as now.
 363 2010-11-26 06:57:32 <ByteCoin> As I mention in my most recent post. If there's 20MB of transactions in your pool in memory, better that they be in a 20MB block and then hit the disk.
 364 2010-11-26 06:57:43 <ByteCoin> Then your memory is clear
 365 2010-11-26 06:57:54 <theymos> Just drop transactions and let the sender rebroadcast.
 366 2010-11-26 06:57:57 <ByteCoin> I don't see any justification for pure block limits
 367 2010-11-26 06:58:20 <ByteCoin> Theymos: What if they're not spam
 368 2010-11-26 06:58:30 <ByteCoin> How does dropping them help things?
 369 2010-11-26 06:58:31 <theymos> Then they'll be rebroadcast...
 370 2010-11-26 06:58:41 <ByteCoin> That makes it better?
 371 2010-11-26 06:59:06 <theymos> Yes. Spammers won't rebroadcast -- real people will.
 372 2010-11-26 06:59:14 <ByteCoin> If they're legit transactions then forcing rebroadcasts would be a massive performance hit
 373 2010-11-26 06:59:27 <ByteCoin> So why won't spammers rebroadcast?
 374 2010-11-26 06:59:39 <theymos> They'd have to store every transaction, which is expensive.
 375 2010-11-26 07:00:04 <ByteCoin> They're SPAMMERS. Do you think spamming is really free?
 376 2010-11-26 07:00:34 <ArtForz> if your time and bandwith costs nothing... then yes
 377 2010-11-26 07:00:42 <ByteCoin> Precisely
 378 2010-11-26 07:00:44 <theymos> The rate of rebroadcast can be increased. 3 hours (current) is too long, I think.
 379 2010-11-26 07:00:55 <ArtForz> 3 hours?
 380 2010-11-26 07:01:03 <ArtForz> afair it's 1 block + 30-60 min
 381 2010-11-26 07:01:19 <theymos> I thought it waited 3 hours for the first rebroadcast.
 382 2010-11-26 07:01:36 <ByteCoin> Spammers will patch their software so that, if they suspect their transactions are being dropped they will connect to different clients and rebroadcast.
 383 2010-11-26 07:02:23 <jgarzik>     nNextTime = GetTime() + GetRand(30 * 60);
 384 2010-11-26 07:02:46 <theymos> I guess that's not too bad, then.
 385 2010-11-26 07:02:55 <ArtForz> okay... so it checks randomly every 0-30 min
 386 2010-11-26 07:03:14 <jgarzik> it waits one iteration, first time through
 387 2010-11-26 07:03:20 <ArtForz> if there's a new block, and the tx is older than 5 min, rebroadcast
 388 2010-11-26 07:04:01 <theymos> The lowest-fee transactions would be the first ones dropped from memory. If everyone is rebroadcasting, the effect is essentially the same as including in blocks (but a bit slower).
 389 2010-11-26 07:04:31 <theymos> Just the responsibility for storage is moved from the network to the senders.
 390 2010-11-26 07:04:53 <ByteCoin> And the bandwidth for new transaction propagation is massively reduced.
 391 2010-11-26 07:05:00 <ArtForz> yep, one could use a similar scoring system for dropping tx to what we have now for selecting tx for a block
 392 2010-11-26 07:05:03 <ByteCoin> Sounds like a really bad "solution"
 393 2010-11-26 07:05:17 <jgarzik> tx cache pruning?
 394 2010-11-26 07:05:23 <ArtForz> yep
 395 2010-11-26 07:05:46 <jgarzik> would be nice to have spam be the most likely cache entries to be pruned
 396 2010-11-26 07:05:51 <ByteCoin> I bet that this "transaction dropping" will be the source of major bitcoin brownouts if it gets popular
 397 2010-11-26 07:06:04 <ArtForz> why?
 398 2010-11-26 07:06:10 <theymos> Generators will be powerful in the future. Network and disk space is unimportant.
 399 2010-11-26 07:06:20 <ArtForz> upping the cache sizes is a simple change
 400 2010-11-26 07:06:28 <ByteCoin> Because the bandwidth for propagating new transactions is massively reduced as I said
 401 2010-11-26 07:06:43 <ArtForz> huh?
 402 2010-11-26 07:07:07 <ByteCoin> New transactions have to compete with retransmitting old transactions to get across the net
 403 2010-11-26 07:07:35 <ByteCoin> This means that new transactions are dropped... and so on ad infinitum
 404 2010-11-26 07:07:39 * jgarzik wonders how large will be the P2P network node count, at Paypal levels of bitcoin popularity
 405 2010-11-26 07:07:44 <ArtForz> if that new transaction has a decent value it weill get propagated just fine
 406 2010-11-26 07:07:49 <ArtForz> if it looks psammy... not so much
 407 2010-11-26 07:08:12 <ByteCoin> Ok.. there is that
 408 2010-11-26 07:08:28 <ArtForz> if actual legit transaction rate gets close to the cache size limits, up the cache size
 409 2010-11-26 07:09:00 <ByteCoin> Artforz: In that case, not much will help you
 410 2010-11-26 07:09:11 <ArtForz> huh?
 411 2010-11-26 07:09:47 <ByteCoin> Well if the transaction rate increases over the ability to store them in blocks then BOOM
 412 2010-11-26 07:10:12 <ArtForz> BOOM "tx will take a bit longer until enough clients increased cache sizes"
 413 2010-11-26 07:10:28 <davux> how will transactions be confirmed when block generation stops?
 414 2010-11-26 07:10:35 <davux> or gets really slow?
 415 2010-11-26 07:10:35 <ByteCoin> There's a problem of bandwidth where there are lots of nodes generating trasnsactions and not so many miners.
 416 2010-11-26 07:10:56 <theymos> jgarzik: My wild guess is 10 "backbone" companies, plus a few hundred hobbyist generators. Everyone else will be connected to one or two of the backbone nodes.
 417 2010-11-26 07:11:02 <ByteCoin> Block generation is designed to happen every 10 mins on average
 418 2010-11-26 07:11:13 <theymos> davux: It never stops. When it gets slow, you have to wait.
 419 2010-11-26 07:11:27 <davux> but it will stop eventually, won't it?
 420 2010-11-26 07:11:31 <ArtForz> nope
 421 2010-11-26 07:11:39 <davux> since the total number of bitcoins is limited to 21 million
 422 2010-11-26 07:11:46 <ArtForz> the amount of minted coins per block will get lower and lower
 423 2010-11-26 07:11:52 <jgarzik> tx fees
 424 2010-11-26 07:11:59 <ArtForz> blocks will still get generated at 10 min/block
 425 2010-11-26 07:12:16 <ArtForz> at what difficulty... who knows
 426 2010-11-26 07:12:40 <ArtForz> incentive for miners then will be a) tx fees and b) maintaining the network
 427 2010-11-26 07:13:03 <davux> so even when there's no bitcoin left (or nearly) to be generated, blocks will continue to be generated?
 428 2010-11-26 07:13:07 <davux> i thought blocks and bitcoins were nearly the same thing
 429 2010-11-26 07:13:08 <ArtForz> yep
 430 2010-11-26 07:13:15 <ArtForz> not really
 431 2010-11-26 07:13:17 edcba_ has quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
 432 2010-11-26 07:13:20 <nanotube> my wild guess is, there will be a 'pooled generator' running, so all the plebes can contribute. :)
 433 2010-11-26 07:13:37 <ArtForz> yep
 434 2010-11-26 07:13:58 <ArtForz> I expect a hub-leaf config is the only option if bitcoin gets really big
 435 2010-11-26 07:14:19 <ByteCoin> My guess is that GPU generation will be seen to be a bad thing and will be made to cease
 436 2010-11-26 07:14:26 <ArtForz> lol
 437 2010-11-26 07:14:27 * ByteCoin ducks and runs away
 438 2010-11-26 07:14:41 <nanotube> ByteCoin: that's not possible... how would you detect what source cpu power comes from? :P
 439 2010-11-26 07:14:59 <ByteCoin> You'd have to change the proof of work...
 440 2010-11-26 07:15:00 <jgarzik> my guess is that we'll have way too way zeroes in a hash
 441 2010-11-26 07:15:07 <ArtForz> nah
 442 2010-11-26 07:15:07 <davux> :)
 443 2010-11-26 07:15:08 <theymos> Electricity cost competition will at some point make even pooled mining unprofitable.
 444 2010-11-26 07:15:50 <ByteCoin> The problem with the current proof of work is that specialized hardware has better performance/cost characteristics
 445 2010-11-26 07:15:53 <davux> i stopped generating, because my client was running at 400 khashes/s, and it seemed like it would take 2+ years
 446 2010-11-26 07:15:57 <davux> so there was no point
 447 2010-11-26 07:16:06 <nanotube> theymos: it's not about profit. people compute for the various @home profit at a clear cost to them.
 448 2010-11-26 07:16:15 <nanotube> s/not about/not all about/ :)
 449 2010-11-26 07:16:16 <davux> i think many people are in the same situation
 450 2010-11-26 07:16:20 <ArtForz> ByteCoin: and thats true in the general case
 451 2010-11-26 07:16:37 <ArtForz> theres really not many algorithms dedicated hardware can't speed up
 452 2010-11-26 07:16:37 <ByteCoin> Artforz: Not so much...
 453 2010-11-26 07:17:05 <ByteCoin> Hard to make specialized hardware if your proof of work requires a slab of memory too
 454 2010-11-26 07:17:08 <jgarzik> surely there is a business model for pooled mining, even at higher TX rates
 455 2010-11-26 07:17:22 <ByteCoin> A pretty big slab
 456 2010-11-26 07:17:31 edcba has joined
 457 2010-11-26 07:17:38 <AAA_awright> What if there's a maths breakthrough that renders blocks no longer necessary?
 458 2010-11-26 07:17:46 <ByteCoin> Don't forget that an average computer has at least 1 GIGABYTE of memory
 459 2010-11-26 07:17:50 <ArtForz> so?
 460 2010-11-26 07:18:06 <theymos> nanotube: You'll need an enterprise-level Internet connection to generate at some point. Maybe some organizations will run donation nodes, but @home will be impossible.
 461 2010-11-26 07:18:13 <ArtForz> nope
 462 2010-11-26 07:18:13 <AAA_awright> Point is, I don't see the protocol staying the same
 463 2010-11-26 07:18:24 <ArtForz> theymos: for pooled egenration the miners only need the block header
 464 2010-11-26 07:18:27 <ByteCoin> So how would your gpu cope if each proof of work required processing several MB of information
 465 2010-11-26 07:18:29 <jgarzik> indeed
 466 2010-11-26 07:18:35 <nanotube> theymos: why, the server just distributes the work to the nodes
 467 2010-11-26 07:19:05 <ByteCoin> Your GPU would be memory througput bound really soon
 468 2010-11-26 07:19:06 <theymos> Forgot about that...
 469 2010-11-26 07:19:10 <ArtForz> lol
 470 2010-11-26 07:19:59 <jgarzik> it's such a pain manually manage external memory and CPU (read: GPU)
 471 2010-11-26 07:20:11 * jgarzik waits for the first GPU OS
 472 2010-11-26 07:20:29 <ArtForz> compare the memory bandwidth of a CPU to a mid-range GPU
 473 2010-11-26 07:20:53 <bd_> Actually, it'd probably be sufficient to make the proof of work require a lot of branch operations
 474 2010-11-26 07:21:01 <ByteCoin> I presume that the GPU has better bandwidth but by how many times?
 475 2010-11-26 07:21:02 <bd_> Memory bandwidth alone isn't that much of a problem for a GPU
 476 2010-11-26 07:21:05 <jgarzik> oh sure.  doesn't decrease the programmer's annoyance level any :)
 477 2010-11-26 07:21:31 * jgarzik poked a bit at Cell a while ago.  Interesting to see what does and doesn't translate to R700
 478 2010-11-26 07:22:31 <ArtForz> about a factor of 4
 479 2010-11-26 07:22:48 <ByteCoin> Put it this way. A memory-irrelevant POW like sha256 is much faster on a GPU than something memory bandwidth bound
 480 2010-11-26 07:22:56 <ArtForz> yep
 481 2010-11-26 07:23:26 <ByteCoin> So if your GPU only got you a factor of 4 improvement then it wouldn't be so compelling
 482 2010-11-26 07:24:14 <ArtForz> so.. you want to make generation easiest on general-purpose CPUs
 483 2010-11-26 07:24:26 <ByteCoin> You'd have to choose your POW so that it's something that CPUs do BEST of all hardware
 484 2010-11-26 07:24:38 <ArtForz> congratulations, you just made it easier to break bitcoin with a botnet. you win one internets.
 485 2010-11-26 07:25:19 <jgarzik> as tech moves forward everybody will have a useful GPU
 486 2010-11-26 07:25:20 <ByteCoin> GPU miners are invulnurable from botnetting? Artforz - lose one internet
 487 2010-11-26 07:25:31 <ArtForz> a lot less vulnerable
 488 2010-11-26 07:25:45 <ByteCoin> Just because you have the knowhow?
 489 2010-11-26 07:25:57 <ArtForz> your average rooted windows box doesn't have a very powerful GPU
 490 2010-11-26 07:26:10 <ByteCoin> OK. I take your point
 491 2010-11-26 07:26:36 <ArtForz> though it probably has a C2D at least
 492 2010-11-26 07:26:52 <ByteCoin> Still, the current situation makes it more likely that bitcoin will be broken by a motivated attacker with specialized hardware
 493 2010-11-26 07:27:07 <ArtForz> yep
 494 2010-11-26 07:27:13 <ByteCoin> so ASIC on one side, botnet on the other
 495 2010-11-26 07:27:26 <ArtForz> specialized hardware = major initial investment
 496 2010-11-26 07:27:47 <theymos> The person with specialized hardware is competent and actually cares.
 497 2010-11-26 07:27:50 <ByteCoin> I actually had an idea that you should have two proofs of work and take it in turns. The difficulties of both would vary independently//
 498 2010-11-26 07:28:03 <ArtForz> and I mean MAJOR, you'd pretty much have to go ASIC to get a decent edge over GPUs
 499 2010-11-26 07:28:26 <ByteCoin> One should be GPU based one CPU. Yes we're talking ASIC to get better than GPU
 500 2010-11-26 07:28:34 <ArtForz> = FPGA wont cut it
 501 2010-11-26 07:28:42 <ByteCoin> FPGA slow
 502 2010-11-26 07:28:47 <ArtForz> slow and expensive
 503 2010-11-26 07:28:57 <ByteCoin> for what it does
 504 2010-11-26 07:29:12 <ArtForz> and beats GPUs 'only' by about 1.3-5 on Mhash/W
 505 2010-11-26 07:29:19 <ArtForz> *1.3-1.5
 506 2010-11-26 07:29:51 <ByteCoin> What do you think about two proofs of work?
 507 2010-11-26 07:30:10 <ByteCoin> One would be suitable for GPUs and the other for CPUs
 508 2010-11-26 07:30:32 <ArtForz> that could work
 509 2010-11-26 07:31:08 <jgarzik> what is "suitable" for CPU yet not GPU?
 510 2010-11-26 07:31:26 <ArtForz> anything with lots of branching and random memory access patterns
 511 2010-11-26 07:31:29 <ByteCoin> jgarzik: Something memory bandwidth bound - or at least more so
 512 2010-11-26 07:31:45 <ByteCoin> What artforz said
 513 2010-11-26 07:31:55 <jgarzik> branching will get better as GPGPU catches on
 514 2010-11-26 07:32:06 <jgarzik> it's a clear need already
 515 2010-11-26 07:32:08 <ByteCoin> There are some fundamental limitations
 516 2010-11-26 07:32:23 <jgarzik> such as?
 517 2010-11-26 07:32:25 <ArtForz> I doubt it, as you make the SIMD vectors smaller your size/speed advantage over CPUs diminishes
 518 2010-11-26 07:32:45 <ByteCoin> What artforz said
 519 2010-11-26 07:33:01 <ArtForz> in the end you end up with something like larrabee
 520 2010-11-26 07:33:10 <ArtForz> dozens of cpu-ish cores on a chip
 521 2010-11-26 07:33:14 <jgarzik> nod, to Larrabee
 522 2010-11-26 07:33:38 <ByteCoin> Memory bandwidth is a bottleneck. Why are supercomputers so expensive? Is it the processor?
 523 2010-11-26 07:33:48 <ArtForz> nope, the interconnect
 524 2010-11-26 07:33:54 <ByteCoin> A nice whizzy processor makes a supercomputer?
 525 2010-11-26 07:34:06 <ByteCoin> Artforz wins back his internets
 526 2010-11-26 07:34:58 <ArtForz> of course a decent ASIC implementation can hit TB/s
 527 2010-11-26 07:35:20 <ByteCoin> ASIC implementation of what?
 528 2010-11-26 07:35:30 <ByteCoin> SHA256?
 529 2010-11-26 07:35:36 <ArtForz> of a memory controller
 530 2010-11-26 07:35:52 <ArtForz> = getting a shitload of bandwidth isn't much of a problem, just add channels
 531 2010-11-26 07:36:03 <ByteCoin> If that's the case why isn't it more common?
 532 2010-11-26 07:36:24 <ArtForz> because nothing needs that much bandwidth
 533 2010-11-26 07:36:52 <ArtForz> well, except for stuff like large crossbar switches
 534 2010-11-26 07:36:59 <ByteCoin> Hmmm..... But some systems are running on 8 cores... I think memory is still a problem there mainly due to the lack of bandwidth
 535 2010-11-26 07:37:34 <ByteCoin> Ok I won't argue
 536 2010-11-26 07:37:35 <ArtForz> the problem with CPUs is that making a high-speed bus work with CPU and memory socketed is not easy
 537 2010-11-26 07:37:40 <theymos> With the new tx fee changes, generators will always pay no fee on transactions under 10kB, even though they know the actual blocksize. That sucks.
 538 2010-11-26 07:38:19 <ArtForz> you sure?
 539 2010-11-26 07:38:20 <ByteCoin> theymos: I don't understand. What has the actual blocksize got to do with anything?
 540 2010-11-26 07:38:30 <theymos> ByteCoin: Changes the fee.
 541 2010-11-26 07:38:39 <ByteCoin> And whgy would generators pay a fee?
 542 2010-11-26 07:38:54 <jgarzik> ByteCoin: generators receive the fee :)
 543 2010-11-26 07:39:01 <ArtForz> hmmm., you'Re right
 544 2010-11-26 07:39:19 <theymos> ArtForz: You think it's a bug, or intentional?
 545 2010-11-26 07:39:28 <ByteCoin> Oh no.. Do I have to read that bit of source AGAIN....
 546 2010-11-26 07:39:31 <ArtForz> I think thats a bug
 547 2010-11-26 07:40:47 <theymos> I'll email Satoshi about it.
 548 2010-11-26 07:41:22 <ArtForz> or maybe because miners will set fallowFree if a tx scores high enough?
 549 2010-11-26 07:41:58 <ArtForz> hmmm... nope... they'll still hit the 27k limit
 550 2010-11-26 07:42:27 <ArtForz> so yeah, I'd say bug
 551 2010-11-26 07:42:49 <jgarzik> ?  nBlockSize>1 appears to be passed to GetMinFee in CreateNewBlock()?
 552 2010-11-26 07:43:05 <ArtForz> yep
 553 2010-11-26 07:43:29 <theymos> jgarzik: It's called without parameter when sending bitcoins, though, which causes you to ignore the blocksize and always pay no fees on transactions below 10 kB.
 554 2010-11-26 07:43:56 <ByteCoin> Ugh....
 555 2010-11-26 07:44:19 <LobsterMan> does anyone know what svn revision bitcoin 0.3.17 is based on?
 556 2010-11-26 07:44:27 <jgarzik> theymos: apologies...  I'm a bit confused.  How does one know the block size when creating a TX?
 557 2010-11-26 07:44:46 <theymos> jgarzik: Generators can look at the size of their own temporary block, which is likely to be accurate.
 558 2010-11-26 07:45:10 <ArtForz> r191
 559 2010-11-26 07:45:33 <ByteCoin> I think the whole fees thing needs to be overhauled. You only know how much fee you SHOULD have sent too late.
 560 2010-11-26 07:45:38 <ByteCoin> There has to be a better way
 561 2010-11-26 07:45:46 <jgarzik> theymos: and?  at that point, the TX (and any associated fee) has already been sent.  I thought fee was bundled with each TX at creation time, by having input>output?
 562 2010-11-26 07:45:48 <LobsterMan> thanks ArtForz
 563 2010-11-26 07:46:23 <ByteCoin> The way that code leverages default arguments to essentially be two different functions depending on where it's called from is ugly
 564 2010-11-26 07:47:19 <theymos> jgarzik: Before creating the transaction, generators can know the approximate blocksize and therefore guess a more-likely-to-be-correct fee amount to send.
 565 2010-11-26 07:47:46 <ByteCoin> I'm sure non-generators know this also from their transaction cache
 566 2010-11-26 07:47:57 <jgarzik> theymos: it looks at recent history of block sizes?
 567 2010-11-26 07:48:52 <theymos> jgarzik: No. Generators look at their own temporary block that they're hashing.
 568 2010-11-26 07:50:57 <jgarzik> theymos: just to be clear, "generator" == creator of TX, or creator of block?
 569 2010-11-26 07:51:13 <theymos> jgarzik: Anyone who has "generate coins" turned on.
 570 2010-11-26 07:51:37 <theymos> People who don't attempt to create blocks don't collect transactions and can't guess at the block size.
 571 2010-11-26 07:52:01 <ByteCoin> Can't they guess the size just by looking at their trasnaction pool?
 572 2010-11-26 07:52:11 <theymos> Non-generators don't have a transaction pool.
 573 2010-11-26 07:52:36 <ByteCoin> They receive them. They don't store them?
 574 2010-11-26 07:52:48 <jgarzik> OK, then I don't understand "Before creating the transaction, generators can know[...]" -- because generators don't create transactions, nor do they "send fees" anywhere except their own wallet....
 575 2010-11-26 07:52:53 <theymos> I don't think they even request them after getting the inv (or they shouldn't).
 576 2010-11-26 07:53:16 <ByteCoin> I thought they didn't relay what they've already seen so they have to store (at least the hash) of what they've seen
 577 2010-11-26 07:53:18 <jgarzik> creator of TX pays TX fees, and is the one who needs to know how much to send
 578 2010-11-26 07:53:38 <theymos> jgarzik: I have "generate coins" turned on. I also send transactions from time to time. Those transactions that I send can use correct fees because I know which transactions will be in the next block.
 579 2010-11-26 07:54:08 <ByteCoin> How do clients relay transactions correctly if they don't have a transaction pool?
 580 2010-11-26 07:54:14 <LobsterMan> is changing the getwork interval from 5s to anything else likely to change anything significant?
 581 2010-11-26 07:54:15 <theymos> ByteCoin: Yeah; maybe they store the hashes for relay purposes.
 582 2010-11-26 07:54:18 <ByteCoin> Non-generating clientss
 583 2010-11-26 07:54:24 <jgarzik> theymos: ahhh.  ok, understand.  an increasingly-uncommon case, IMO.
 584 2010-11-26 07:54:26 <jgarzik> tnx
 585 2010-11-26 07:54:46 <theymos> This benefit is actually the only reason that I do generate.
 586 2010-11-26 07:55:36 <jgarzik> How many follow the same practice, and are likely to do so into the future?
 587 2010-11-26 07:55:46 <theymos> Probably no one.
 588 2010-11-26 07:56:02 <ByteCoin> theymos: How do you use this knowledge to calculate fees. I presume your client is non-standard
 589 2010-11-26 07:56:21 <ByteCoin> It's something you've set up.
 590 2010-11-26 07:56:29 <theymos> ByteCoin: No. The client does it automatically if you're a generator.
 591 2010-11-26 07:57:01 <ByteCoin> How is are you made aware of it? Where is the "you should include this fee" information displayed?
 592 2010-11-26 07:57:39 <theymos> GetMinFee is used for both generation and transaction creation. It looks at the blocksize.
 593 2010-11-26 07:58:37 <ByteCoin> But as a user how do you tell. Is it displayed somewhere?
 594 2010-11-26 07:59:08 <tylergillies> wooho just got docs.google.com to throw a 500 error
 595 2010-11-26 07:59:11 <ByteCoin> Or are your outgoing transactions fee'd at the discretion of your generating client?
 596 2010-11-26 07:59:12 <tylergillies> first time ive seen that
 597 2010-11-26 07:59:33 <theymos> ByteCoin: Right. It's the fee that will show up in the "you must pay this fee" dialog.
 598 2010-11-26 07:59:47 <ByteCoin> Ok. I understand.
 599 2010-11-26 08:04:17 * jgarzik wonders why everybody is dumping their Pecunix :)
 600 2010-11-26 08:08:23 <jgarzik> shoot, not many bitcoins at all living at bitcoinmarket anymore

 688 2010-11-26 13:16:01 <LobsterMan> it stopped for a few hours last night

 690 2010-11-26 13:23:08 <doublec> weird trade amounts going on
 691 2010-11-26 13:23:23 <doublec> maybe they're trying to find or exploit some rounding bug
 692 2010-11-26 13:24:08 <doublec> or someone's trading bot went crazy and they're going to be disappointed when they check on it later...
 693 2010-11-26 13:24:11 <LobsterMan> lots of small trades recently
 694 2010-11-26 13:25:11 <doublec> lots of 9.744 @ $0.282
 695 2010-11-26 13:25:22 <doublec> followed by 10 @ $0.2764
 696 2010-11-26 13:25:39 <doublec> interesting how the price is always the same for the given number of btc
 697 2010-11-26 13:26:33 <LobsterMan> yeah mtgox has some shit to sort out

 729 2010-11-26 14:53:01 <UukGoblin> is ubuntu wrong or is 64 wrong? ;-P
 730 2010-11-26 14:53:17 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: the combination of both
 731 2010-11-26 14:53:21 <Diablo-D3> ubuntu 32 works, debian 64 works

 733 2010-11-26 14:53:28 <Diablo-D3> and I cant figure out why

 736 2010-11-26 14:53:40 <UukGoblin> sucks.
 737 2010-11-26 14:53:41 <Diablo-D3> and it effects, theoretically, any lwjgl using opencl app (but not opengl apps)
 738 2010-11-26 14:53:44 <Diablo-D3> yes it does
 739 2010-11-26 14:53:53 <Diablo-D3> because now three of you ubuntu faggots have reported that bug
 740 2010-11-26 14:53:59 <UukGoblin> I'm happy to fiddle with it
 741 2010-11-26 14:54:01 <Diablo-D3> the only cure is to quit using ubuntu altogether
 742 2010-11-26 14:54:11 <Diablo-D3> because its clearly an ubuntu bug
 743 2010-11-26 14:54:20 <UukGoblin> firstly, when I ldd that liblwjgl64.so, I get a not found on libjawt.so
 744 2010-11-26 14:54:38 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: ubuntu does package sun java
 745 2010-11-26 14:54:41 <Diablo-D3> try using it
 746 2010-11-26 14:54:45 <UukGoblin> I am using it
 747 2010-11-26 14:55:00 <UukGoblin> one from "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
 748 2010-11-26 14:55:03 <Diablo-D3> orly?
 749 2010-11-26 14:55:06 <Diablo-D3> not openjdk?
 750 2010-11-26 14:55:19 <Diablo-D3> java -version should agree with you
 751 2010-11-26 14:55:21 <UukGoblin> I had openjdk first, but maven was bitching about javac, so I got the sun one
 752 2010-11-26 14:55:32 <UukGoblin> java version "1.6.0_22"
 753 2010-11-26 14:55:41 <UukGoblin> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
 754 2010-11-26 14:55:41 <UukGoblin> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode)
 755 2010-11-26 14:55:46 <Diablo-D3> yeah thats the right one
 756 2010-11-26 14:55:50 <Diablo-D3> I wonder what the hell ubuntu did
 757 2010-11-26 14:56:24 <UukGoblin> so - any clue as to what libjawt is?
 758 2010-11-26 14:56:29 <Diablo-D3> yes, its part of java.
 759 2010-11-26 14:56:29 <UukGoblin> I don't see it in apt
 760 2010-11-26 14:56:56 <Diablo-D3> both sun and openjdk ship it
 761 2010-11-26 14:57:04 <Diablo-D3> as does gcj
 762 2010-11-26 14:57:08 <Diablo-D3> without it, no awt
 763 2010-11-26 14:57:47 <UukGoblin> ah, OK, I have it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre/lib/amd64/libjawt.so
 764 2010-11-26 14:58:24 <UukGoblin> which is not in ld.so.conf
 765 2010-11-26 14:58:36 <Diablo-D3> it shouldnt be
 766 2010-11-26 14:58:37 <UukGoblin> which is fine - java probably knows where to look for it
 767 2010-11-26 14:58:44 <Diablo-D3> yes
 768 2010-11-26 14:58:51 <Diablo-D3> I suspect this isnt a java problem at all
 769 2010-11-26 14:58:53 <UukGoblin> ok
 770 2010-11-26 14:59:00 <Diablo-D3> but its a problem with their broken security shot no one else uses
 771 2010-11-26 14:59:10 <Diablo-D3> since only ubuntu 64 suffers from it
 772 2010-11-26 14:59:23 <UukGoblin> I'll make liblwjgl.so point at liblwjgl64.so
 773 2010-11-26 14:59:35 <Diablo-D3> doesnt fix it
 774 2010-11-26 14:59:43 <Diablo-D3> thats already been tried
 775 2010-11-26 15:00:02 <Diablo-D3> lwjgl works by trying to link liblwjgl.so first, then the 64 bit one
 776 2010-11-26 15:00:28 <Diablo-D3> problem is, there something very broken in ubuntu thats making attempting to link the 32 bit one fail
 777 2010-11-26 15:00:58 <UukGoblin> indeed, but now it gives a different error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/bitcoin/DiabloMiner/target/libs/natives/linux/liblwjgl.so: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre/lib/amd64/libjawt.so: symbol awt_FreeDrawingSurface, version SUNWprivate_1.1 not defined in file libmawt.so with link time reference
 778 2010-11-26 15:01:39 <UukGoblin> libmawt.so?
 779 2010-11-26 15:02:14 <Diablo-D3> yes even more awesome javary
 780 2010-11-26 15:03:21 <UukGoblin> so libmawt.so is in headless, xawt and motif21
 781 2010-11-26 15:03:52 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: now heres the really fun part
 782 2010-11-26 15:03:58 <Diablo-D3> someone tried downloading sun's from sun
 783 2010-11-26 15:04:05 <Diablo-D3> it STILL happens
 784 2010-11-26 15:04:11 <Diablo-D3> so whatever it is, its not in java
 785 2010-11-26 15:04:24 <Diablo-D3> and its not in ubuntu's packaging of java
 786 2010-11-26 15:04:30 <Diablo-D3> its in ubuntu somewhere else
 787 2010-11-26 15:04:35 <Diablo-D3> this bug makes no sense
 788 2010-11-26 15:04:59 slush_cz has left ()
 789 2010-11-26 15:05:03 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: I bet if you install the 32 bit java package (I think ubuntu has one), it'll work
 790 2010-11-26 15:05:09 <Diablo-D3> which is absolutely nuts
 791 2010-11-26 15:05:28 <UukGoblin> so what's awt?
 792 2010-11-26 15:06:10 <Diablo-D3> windowing toolkit shit
 793 2010-11-26 15:06:43 <Diablo-D3> lwjgl uses it for opengl apps to open the window, but for nothing else (unless you use lwjgl as a widget in awt/swing apps)
 794 2010-11-26 15:06:45 <UukGoblin> could you do: nm /path/to/jre/lib/amd64/libjawt.so | grep awt_FreeDrawing
 795 2010-11-26 15:06:45 <UukGoblin> ?
 796 2010-11-26 15:07:45 <Diablo-D3>                  U awt_FreeDrawingSurface@@SUNWprivate_1.1
 797 2010-11-26 15:07:53 <UukGoblin> same as here
 798 2010-11-26 15:08:05 <UukGoblin> so it must be defined somewhere with that weird version
 799 2010-11-26 15:08:11 <Diablo-D3> yes because ubuntu screwed with shit
 800 2010-11-26 15:08:39 <UukGoblin> yes
 801 2010-11-26 15:08:44 <UukGoblin> question is, which shit that is
 802 2010-11-26 15:08:44 <Diablo-D3> and like I said
 803 2010-11-26 15:08:50 <Diablo-D3> download the .bin from sun
 804 2010-11-26 15:08:52 <Diablo-D3> and it still fails
 805 2010-11-26 15:09:05 <Diablo-D3> ubuntu uses really retarded security shit in the kernel
 806 2010-11-26 15:09:14 <Diablo-D3> it'll probably break cleverly written code
 807 2010-11-26 15:09:24 <Diablo-D3> this is why linus has rejected it upstream everytime its come up
 808 2010-11-26 15:09:51 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: btw
 809 2010-11-26 15:09:54 <Diablo-D3> everyone else whos had this bug
 810 2010-11-26 15:09:57 <Diablo-D3> had to use a 32 bit jvm
 811 2010-11-26 15:10:06 <Diablo-D3> like, people not even using lwjgl have had this bug
 812 2010-11-26 15:10:53 <UukGoblin> shiit.
 813 2010-11-26 15:10:57 <UukGoblin> that sounds deep.
 814 2010-11-26 15:11:05 <UukGoblin> as in, that the bug is deep
 815 2010-11-26 15:11:07 <Diablo-D3> I wonder if awt/swt is subtly broken somewhere on 64bit linux
 816 2010-11-26 15:11:23 Antagonist has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
 817 2010-11-26 15:11:30 <Diablo-D3> because almost all the natural occurrences of the ELFCLASS32 bug are in awt/swt shit
 818 2010-11-26 15:11:56 Antagonist has joined
 819 2010-11-26 15:13:47 <UukGoblin> so which lib or deb defines awt_FreeDrawingSurface@@SUNWprivate_1.1 ?
 820 2010-11-26 15:13:58 <Diablo-D3> its internal to java
 821 2010-11-26 15:18:04 <UukGoblin> so awt_FreeDrawingSurface (however, without the @@SUNWprivate_1.1 shit) is deifned in xawt/libmawt.so and motif21/libmawt.so but not headless/libmawt.so
 822 2010-11-26 15:18:22 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: yeah but
 823 2010-11-26 15:18:25 <Diablo-D3> java does shit
 824 2010-11-26 15:21:17 <UukGoblin> heh
 825 2010-11-26 15:21:31 <UukGoblin> added DISPLAY=:0 and it almost works :-]
 826 2010-11-26 15:22:31 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, http://pastebin.com/dnsBcnnW
 827 2010-11-26 15:23:05 <UukGoblin> was /that/ reported too?
 828 2010-11-26 15:23:56 <UukGoblin> (does running m0's miner in background hurt? where do I set which device I want to use with your miner?)
 829 2010-11-26 15:26:05 <UukGoblin> now, that is crazy
 830 2010-11-26 15:26:11 <UukGoblin> I added -w 1000
 831 2010-11-26 15:26:18 <UukGoblin> it added two Junipers
 832 2010-11-26 15:26:26 <UukGoblin> and I'm now getting 165428000 khash/sec
 833 2010-11-26 15:26:33 <UukGoblin> even 183778571 khash/sec
 834 2010-11-26 15:27:06 <UukGoblin> with m0's running in background and getting a tiny penalty (175Mhash -> 170Mhash on OC'ed card and 155Mhash -> 150Mhash on non-OC'ed)
 835 2010-11-26 15:27:32 <UukGoblin> (also, I do prefer seeing separate hashrates for different cards as I want to know the effects of overclocking)
 836 2010-11-26 15:28:08 <UukGoblin> (I'm guessing your khash is wrongly calculated when -w is specified)
 837 2010-11-26 15:29:17 <UukGoblin> (and I definitely like the option of choosing which devices I want to run shit on)
 838 2010-11-26 15:43:38 <Diablo-D3> b9acj
 839 2010-11-26 15:43:50 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: -w cannot exceed the max hardware size
 840 2010-11-26 15:43:55 <Diablo-D3> and it has to be a power of 2
 841 2010-11-26 15:44:33 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: it should be catching that exception and dying properly
 842 2010-11-26 15:45:54 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, it's not then
 843 2010-11-26 15:46:12 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: wait
 844 2010-11-26 15:46:12 <UukGoblin> and it also dies when it tries to determine it on its own
 845 2010-11-26 15:46:16 <Diablo-D3> how did you fix the bug?
 846 2010-11-26 15:47:35 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: well the default should work fine.
 847 2010-11-26 15:47:53 <UukGoblin> the ubuntu thing? 1. I copied all 3 64-bit libs in target/libs/natives/linux as the non-64 ones, 2. I added DISPLAY=:0 (with running X)
 848 2010-11-26 15:48:06 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, the default gives http://pastebin.com/dnsBcnnW

 882 2010-11-26 17:19:22 <Kiba> hi
 883 2010-11-26 17:19:28 <zc00gii> wonder if any miners are around that work better on my machine then the 4way miner
 884 2010-11-26 17:19:44 <tcatm> zc00gii: what hardware do you have?
 885 2010-11-26 17:20:55 <zc00gii> tcatm: crappy hardware
 886 2010-11-26 17:21:00 <zc00gii> uh, no GPU mining
 887 2010-11-26 17:21:03 <zc00gii> a

 895 2010-11-26 17:23:45 <tcatm> does it already have one confirmation?

 905 2010-11-26 17:26:50 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: huh.
 906 2010-11-26 17:26:52 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: strange.
 907 2010-11-26 17:26:55 <tcatm> zc00gii: well, you can always restart bitcoin but you should try to keep it running until it has at least one confirmation. it doesn't matter wheter you're computer is mining or not.
 908 2010-11-26 17:27:10 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: and you're not getting an error it cant find the opencl libs?
 909 2010-11-26 17:28:00 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, oh, for that, you need to set the environment right I think... ATISTREAMSDKROOT... er.... actually, it's set wrong...
 910 2010-11-26 17:28:29 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/ati-stream-sdk-v2.2-lnx64/lib/x86_64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 911 2010-11-26 17:28:30 <UukGoblin> that means it worked on ati stream 2.1
 912 2010-11-26 17:28:30 <Diablo-D3> or whatnot
 913 2010-11-26 17:28:36 <UukGoblin> yeah, I have it
 914 2010-11-26 17:28:40 <Diablo-D3> it works on 2.1 too
 915 2010-11-26 17:30:36 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: how are you running my miner? just with -u -p and -w?
 916 2010-11-26 17:30:47 <UukGoblin> via DiabloMiner.sh
 917 2010-11-26 17:30:56 <UukGoblin> and yes, exactly the parameters you mentioned
 918 2010-11-26 17:30:59 <Diablo-D3> hrm
 919 2010-11-26 17:31:04 <Diablo-D3> something isnt right on your box.
 920 2010-11-26 17:31:06 <UukGoblin> and DISPLAY=:0
 921 2010-11-26 17:31:13 <Diablo-D3> you shouldnt need DISPLAY=:0
 922 2010-11-26 17:31:17 <UukGoblin> and the lib*64 swapped
 923 2010-11-26 17:31:18 <Diablo-D3> the default already should be :0
 924 2010-11-26 17:31:46 <UukGoblin> with DISPLAY="" I get this linking thing (Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/bitcoin/DiabloMiner/target/libs/natives/linux/liblwjgl.so: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre/lib/amd64/libjawt.so: symbol awt_FreeDrawingSurface, version SUNWprivate_1.1 not defined in file libmawt.so with link time reference)

 927 2010-11-26 17:32:08 <Diablo-D3> the default already should be :0
 928 2010-11-26 17:32:08 <UukGoblin> it's blank by default man ;-]
 929 2010-11-26 17:32:15 <UukGoblin> m0's miner works with DISPLAY=""
 930 2010-11-26 17:33:02 <Diablo-D3> no it doesnt.
 931 2010-11-26 17:33:06 <Diablo-D3> at least it shouldnt
 932 2010-11-26 17:33:06 <Diablo-D3> and no
 933 2010-11-26 17:33:08 <UukGoblin> but I set it to :0 for your miner because the headless/libmawt.so doesn't link to that weird awt_FreeDrawingSurface symbol (and it tries to use it)
 934 2010-11-26 17:33:09 <Diablo-D3> its not blank by default
 935 2010-11-26 17:33:18 <UukGoblin> it's blank when you run it via ssh.
 936 2010-11-26 17:33:39 <Diablo-D3> any term opened in X is set to DISPLAY=:n where n is the nth X server running
 937 2010-11-26 17:33:39 <UukGoblin> it's a headless and diskless system that I have.
 938 2010-11-26 17:33:41 <zc00gii> it's been like, 20 minutes and still no confirmation
 939 2010-11-26 17:33:47 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: ahh
 940 2010-11-26 17:33:47 <UukGoblin> I don't have any terms open in X
 941 2010-11-26 17:33:52 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: then yes, you need to set :0
 942 2010-11-26 17:33:58 <UukGoblin> with m0's, I don't.
 943 2010-11-26 17:34:05 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: its an lwjgl thing
 944 2010-11-26 17:34:09 <UukGoblin> (but I do need X running)
 945 2010-11-26 17:34:13 <Diablo-D3> lwjgl starts GL no matter if I use it or not
 946 2010-11-26 17:34:26 <UukGoblin> I think it needs it for the awt shit
 947 2010-11-26 17:34:48 <UukGoblin> ask the people who reported this bug (and tried swapping the 64-bit libs) on ubuntu 64, if they had DISPLAY=:0
 948 2010-11-26 17:34:54 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: no, it uses awt for the opengl shit
 949 2010-11-26 17:35:05 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: most people dont run headless miners
 950 2010-11-26 17:35:12 <Diablo-D3> and anyone who does, thats their own problem
 951 2010-11-26 17:35:34 <Diablo-D3> and Im actually surprised m0's works without DISPLAY set
 952 2010-11-26 17:35:50 <Diablo-D3> because it respects :0.x notation
 953 2010-11-26 17:36:00 <Diablo-D3> (it being the ati sdk)
 954 2010-11-26 17:36:27 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: so, did you get it working right?
 955 2010-11-26 17:36:33 bitanarchy has joined
 956 2010-11-26 17:37:26 <bitanarchy> Is there a possiblity to check the ballance my bitcoin address without exposing my wallet to a computer that is connected to the internet?
 957 2010-11-26 17:37:46 <Diablo-D3> bitanarchy: no, not without knowing every address you've ever used
 958 2010-11-26 17:38:31 <zc00gii> yay, it's confirmed
 959 2010-11-26 17:38:39 <Diablo-D3> bitanarchy: the information in the chain can tell you the current balance of a specific address... which is meaningless
 960 2010-11-26 17:38:52 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, well it seems to work with -w, but reports crazily large khash (hundreds of millions of khash)
 961 2010-11-26 17:39:01 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: yeah, thats called "fail mode"
 962 2010-11-26 17:39:06 <UukGoblin> and I can't set which device I want to use / I don't see the per-device khash rate
 963 2010-11-26 17:39:06 <Diablo-D3> the kernel isnt being ran
 964 2010-11-26 17:39:15 <UukGoblin> aaah.
 965 2010-11-26 17:39:18 <Diablo-D3> there is no per device usage
 966 2010-11-26 17:39:25 <Diablo-D3> it selects all available devices and uses them
 967 2010-11-26 17:39:39 <Diablo-D3> something that has been improved over m0's
 968 2010-11-26 17:39:41 <UukGoblin> yeah, which is what is fine for most purposes, but for OC and debug it isn't
 969 2010-11-26 17:39:54 <Diablo-D3> well, for debug it still is useful BUT
 970 2010-11-26 17:40:00 <UukGoblin> at least the ability to limit which cards it uses would be cool
 971 2010-11-26 17:40:02 <Diablo-D3> ati names all the cards the same fucking thing
 972 2010-11-26 17:40:14 <Diablo-D3> thx ati
 973 2010-11-26 17:40:22 <UukGoblin> doesn't matter, I can map ATI's name directly to physical devices using PCI IDs (and aticonfig --lsa)
 974 2010-11-26 17:40:27 <bitanarchy> Diablo-D3: why do you say the the information of the amount of bitcoins a certain address owns is meaningless? People may want to know how much bitcoins they own without having to expose their wallet to potential thiefs.
 975 2010-11-26 17:40:37 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: how? all it says is, say, Juniper 4 times.
 976 2010-11-26 17:40:44 <UukGoblin> (and by checking the temperature on them using a pistol thermometer)
 977 2010-11-26 17:40:50 <UukGoblin> aticonfig --lsa
 978 2010-11-26 17:40:55 <Diablo-D3> I mean the name opencl gives to me
 979 2010-11-26 17:41:05 <Diablo-D3> Added ATI RV770 (10 CU, 1x vector, local work size of 64)
 980 2010-11-26 17:41:11 <Diablo-D3> as such
 981 2010-11-26 17:41:12 <UukGoblin> run aticonfig --lsa
 982 2010-11-26 17:41:19 <UukGoblin> you'll see bus IDs
 983 2010-11-26 17:41:25 <UukGoblin> or PCI whatever it's called
 984 2010-11-26 17:41:26 <Diablo-D3> you're missing the point, UukGoblin
 985 2010-11-26 17:41:34 <Diablo-D3> OpenCL doesnt give me that.
 986 2010-11-26 17:41:44 <UukGoblin> ah, but with opencl you should have order of devices
 987 2010-11-26 17:41:52 <UukGoblin> m0's has -d <number>
 988 2010-11-26 17:41:58 <Diablo-D3> his is kind of random
 989 2010-11-26 17:42:07 <UukGoblin> and the number is the same as the aticonfig --lsa + 1
 990 2010-11-26 17:42:08 <Diablo-D3> its _still_ whatever the sdk returns to him
 991 2010-11-26 17:42:19 <Diablo-D3> if the sdk suddenly decided to reverse the order
 992 2010-11-26 17:42:26 <UukGoblin> I'm pretty sure the sdk always returns them in the same order
 993 2010-11-26 17:42:37 <Diablo-D3> it does as long as the sdk doesnt change
 994 2010-11-26 17:42:40 <UukGoblin> (and I can physically check by temperature)
 995 2010-11-26 17:42:49 <Diablo-D3> the only thing I can do is check if multiple devices are named the same
 996 2010-11-26 17:42:53 <Diablo-D3> which is absurd
 997 2010-11-26 17:43:25 <Diablo-D3> I'll fix that later, but not right now]
 998 2010-11-26 17:43:41 <bitanarchy> Let's say you want to but a $1000 in bitcoins (not me), then you want to set up a seperate computer that stores the wallet. But you do want to check whether to bitcoins were received, right? What is the best way to do that?
 999 2010-11-26 17:43:53 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: the problem right now is
1000 2010-11-26 17:43:59 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: a method that cannot fail is failing
1001 2010-11-26 17:44:55 <Diablo-D3> oh and btw
1002 2010-11-26 17:44:56 genjix has joined
1003 2010-11-26 17:44:59 <genjix> hey
1004 2010-11-26 17:45:08 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: lwjgl may have fixed the bug upstream
1005 2010-11-26 17:45:18 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: it tries to link 64 bit libs first before 32
1006 2010-11-26 17:45:18 <genjix> everyone!
1007 2010-11-26 17:45:23 <genjix> 7 dec bank run
1008 2010-11-26 17:45:33 <genjix> lets do it! bring down the mother fuking banks
1009 2010-11-26 17:45:35 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: which SHOULD fix it without actually ... fixing it.
1010 2010-11-26 17:45:45 <Diablo-D3> genjix: so is that with or without the FDIC?
1011 2010-11-26 17:46:01 <genjix> Not sure what that is?
1012 2010-11-26 17:46:20 <Diablo-D3> Wikipedia is your friend.
1013 2010-11-26 17:47:22 <genjix> ok, a US organisation
1014 2010-11-26 17:47:38 <Kiba> genjix: it's an insurance in case of a bank run
1015 2010-11-26 17:47:38 <genjix> still this requires minimal effort and has potential to cause harm
1016 2010-11-26 17:47:52 <Kiba> BUT it's more of a bandaid
1017 2010-11-26 17:48:00 <Diablo-D3> Kiba: its not a bandaid
1018 2010-11-26 17:48:04 <Kiba> best way to fix bank run is to have 100% reserve banking
1019 2010-11-26 17:48:18 <Diablo-D3> it just uses the full force of the Department of the Treasury to get rid of bank runs.
1020 2010-11-26 17:48:26 <MacRohard> Kiba, then it wouldn't be profitable to be a bank ;)
1021 2010-11-26 17:48:29 <genjix> google 7 dec bank run
1022 2010-11-26 17:48:29 <Diablo-D3> Since money, itself, belongs to the people and to the US Government.
1023 2010-11-26 17:48:34 <genjix> it was on bbc already
1024 2010-11-26 17:48:39 <genjix> so its not just a small thing
1025 2010-11-26 17:48:39 <Kiba> you believe that crap?
1026 2010-11-26 17:48:42 <Diablo-D3> who the fuck cares about the bbc
1027 2010-11-26 17:48:44 <Diablo-D3> or the UK
1028 2010-11-26 17:48:47 <Kiba> anyway
1029 2010-11-26 17:48:51 <Kiba> gottach run
1030 2010-11-26 17:48:51 <Diablo-D3> its a small shitty little country thats falling apart
1031 2010-11-26 17:49:18 <genjix> well im in the uk (agree its shitty)
1032 2010-11-26 17:49:25 <genjix> but thats the 'national' news here
1033 2010-11-26 17:49:38 <OneFixt> ;;bc,stats

1036 2010-11-26 17:49:49 <OneFixt> ;;bc,estimate
1037 2010-11-26 17:49:53 <Diablo-D3> they'd just close the banks on the 7th then
1038 2010-11-26 17:49:55 <gribble> HTTP Error 404: Not Found
1039 2010-11-26 17:50:02 <Diablo-D3> you know whats national news here?
1040 2010-11-26 17:50:18 <Diablo-D3> your fucking police attacking peaceful student protesters
1041 2010-11-26 17:50:34 <Diablo-D3> because your government is in fucking shambles
1042 2010-11-26 17:50:38 <genjix> yep i was there dude
1043 2010-11-26 17:50:52 <bitanarchy> Sorry for repeating the question once more... If I know I ordered 1000BTC on address X. How can I check that the bitcoins were received on X without exposing the wallet to the internet?
1044 2010-11-26 17:51:24 <genjix> Diablo-D3: and even if they just close banks on 7th... it's still causing chaos/trouble which is a good thing
1045 2010-11-26 17:51:31 <genjix> bitanarchy: sry I don't know myself
1046 2010-11-26 17:51:37 <Diablo-D3> genjix: how is it causing chaos/
1047 2010-11-26 17:51:42 <Diablo-D3> its just pissing idiots off
1048 2010-11-26 17:51:49 <Diablo-D3> as long as you have money, you need banks
1049 2010-11-26 17:51:57 <MacRohard> bitanarchy, you can see that it was payed to the hash without talking to the wallet
1050 2010-11-26 17:52:14 <genjix> whats the problem with withdrawing on the 7th even if it just pisses off the banks?
1051 2010-11-26 17:52:17 <genjix> im all for that
1052 2010-11-26 17:52:47 <MacRohard> bitanarchy, oh. if you mean how to do it technically? i dunno. the main client doesn't support it.. there might be some analysis tools that would do the job but i have no idea
1053 2010-11-26 17:52:53 <Diablo-D3> it doesnt piss off the banks, genjix
1054 2010-11-26 17:52:59 <Diablo-D3> it pisses off people who try to withdrawl cash and cant
1055 2010-11-26 17:53:03 <Diablo-D3> it doesnt cause a bank run
1056 2010-11-26 17:53:09 <Diablo-D3> it just pisses off average people
1057 2010-11-26 17:53:22 <bitanarchy> MacRohard: I we want people to invest in bitcoin, this issue mut be solved!!
1058 2010-11-26 17:53:41 <altamic> bitanarchy: http://blockexplorer.com/block/000000000011b41e68266c7d03d41fe7f89c02c83245d3d86da503ece3bc675e
1059 2010-11-26 17:54:32 <altamic> http://www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf section 10
1060 2010-11-26 17:55:20 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: anyhow, if its still broken, keep trying to wiggle it
1061 2010-11-26 17:55:31 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: there is no reason why it should be if you've gotten this far
1062 2010-11-26 17:56:54 <bitanarchy> altamic: The transaction info is in the block chain. It just must be requestable in the  bitcoin client by providing a bitcoin address, even without the wallet present on the computer.
1063 2010-11-26 17:58:58 <altamic> *must* ?
1064 2010-11-26 17:59:10 <Diablo-D3> he meant "can"
1065 2010-11-26 17:59:17 <Diablo-D3> but that only means the address recieved it
1066 2010-11-26 17:59:23 <Diablo-D3> it doesnt mean the wallet contains it.
1067 2010-11-26 17:59:25 <altamic> one may not want not bother about others
1068 2010-11-26 18:00:16 <bitanarchy> I see, that blockexplorer gives the information, like for example http://blockexplorer.com/address/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
1069 2010-11-26 18:00:58 <bitanarchy> But a request to blockexplorer will link an ip address to a bitcoin adress...
1070 2010-11-26 18:01:20 <altamic> it can be cloaked I think
1071 2010-11-26 18:02:28 <bitanarchy> But anyway.... blockexplorer may be gone in a while... this functionality must be integrated in the client.... otherwise people will never invest greatly in bitcoin...
1072 2010-11-26 18:02:53 int0x27h has joined
1073 2010-11-26 18:03:25 <altamic> bitanarchy: provide arguments
1074 2010-11-26 18:05:32 <bitanarchy> altamic: First of all people generally do not trust their computer... especially when it is windows. So they know that the wallet cannot be on their computer... THey have to create it in a safe place. Then they want to buy the coins with an adress they copied to some usb stick. And then they want to check their ballance.... right now we know how to do that, but what about the average user of bitcoin?
1075 2010-11-26 18:06:02 <Diablo-D3> bitanarchy: that is pretty dumb logic, to be honest
1076 2010-11-26 18:06:17 <Diablo-D3> if windows users didnt trust their machines, WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY USING WINDOWS
1077 2010-11-26 18:07:09 <bitanarchy> Diablo-D3: because they do not know how to setup a linux machine..... and second of all, an average user does not understand why linux is more safe...
1078 2010-11-26 18:07:25 <Diablo-D3> they can buy a fucking mac
1079 2010-11-26 18:07:37 <Diablo-D3> and jesus fucking double chirst
1080 2010-11-26 18:07:43 <Diablo-D3> they dont know how to download ubuntu
1081 2010-11-26 18:07:46 <Diablo-D3> burn it to a cd
1082 2010-11-26 18:07:59 <Diablo-D3> and then follow the simple fucking instructions?
1083 2010-11-26 18:08:10 <bitanarchy> Diablo-D3: clearly you do not want to masses to invest in bitcoin....
1084 2010-11-26 18:08:19 <Diablo-D3> windows install requires more interaction than ubuntu install does
1085 2010-11-26 18:08:28 <Diablo-D3> and fucking idiots have to reinstall windows like once a week
1086 2010-11-26 18:08:37 <nanotube> bitanarchy: problem is... windows users don't know that they shouldn't trust their machines.
1087 2010-11-26 18:08:38 <altamic> bitanarchy: the responsibility of your crispy banknotes is yours once an ATM eject them to you
1088 2010-11-26 18:08:48 <edcba> http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewiStockNews/articleid/4697943
1089 2010-11-26 18:08:50 <nanotube> bitanarchy: so your argument is quite a moot point.
1090 2010-11-26 18:09:15 <Diablo-D3> I agree with nanotube
1091 2010-11-26 18:09:43 <nanotube> bitanarchy: "people generally do not trust their computer" is patently false. in fact, "people generally" are not informed enough to know about that.
1092 2010-11-26 18:10:19 <nanotube> bitanarchy: that said... it would be quite nice to have a 'block explorer style' gui inside the bitcoin client. :)
1093 2010-11-26 18:11:06 <nanotube> it would be nice for people who /are/ informed enough to try to keep the wallet secure and offline (namely, us geeks :) ).
1094 2010-11-26 18:11:43 <altamic> nanotube: I contend this is not appropriate for the average joe, since it does not fit the wallet metaphor
1095 2010-11-26 18:12:20 <nanotube> altamic: yes, not appropriate for the average joe. but the current bitcoin user is not an average joe.
1096 2010-11-26 18:12:49 <altamic> nanotube: this is why I am right
1097 2010-11-26 18:13:07 <nanotube> i suspect eventually there will be either a separate "advanced" gui in the client, or separate clients completely, one for 'joe user' and one for 'clueful user'
1098 2010-11-26 18:13:37 <altamic> I agree
1099 2010-11-26 18:13:40 <nanotube> altamic: you're right that we should keep the bitcoin client as dumb as possible?
1100 2010-11-26 18:13:56 <altamic> at least initiaally
1101 2010-11-26 18:14:11 <altamic> this is my opinion
1102 2010-11-26 18:14:33 <bitanarchy> can someone provide me with the code for the blockexplorer?... then I can run it on my computer.
1103 2010-11-26 18:14:35 <nanotube> well maybe. there's not enough dev effort to go around, best to focus the main client on security and protocol definition
1104 2010-11-26 18:14:50 <nanotube> bitanarchy: theymos runs blockexplorer... you can ask him
1105 2010-11-26 18:14:56 <altamic> I am looking into it
1106 2010-11-26 18:14:58 <nanotube> afaik, he hasn't made the code publicly available

1113 2010-11-26 18:18:30 <altamic> just let me know
1114 2010-11-26 18:19:37 <altamic> c++ is too heavy for my taste
1115 2010-11-26 18:20:03 <altamic> but I am struggling a bit
1116 2010-11-26 18:24:57 <MacRohard> it would actually be nice if the bitcoin client could track your known hashes even when the wallet is not connected - say stored on a smartcard
1117 2010-11-26 18:26:41 <bitanarchy> MacRohard: I don know much about smartcards, but can you run software on them?
1118 2010-11-26 18:27:52 <MacRohard> some
1119 2010-11-26 18:29:34 <bitanarchy> Computers with smartcard readers are not common jet. But it would be cool to connect a smartcard to a computer and then make it generate some hashes...
1120 2010-11-26 18:29:57 <MacRohard> that would be fairly pointless
1121 2010-11-26 18:30:32 <MacRohard> the smartcard prevents the key from being copied off the card
1122 2010-11-26 18:30:40 <MacRohard> you could only make transactions through the card
1123 2010-11-26 18:30:44 <MacRohard> while it's connected
1124 2010-11-26 18:31:44 <MacRohard> guarantees that your wallet can't be cloned and you know that if the wallet is disconencted and the money is in your hash then it's still there
1125 2010-11-26 18:31:52 <MacRohard> and can't be withdrawn until you reconenct the card
1126 2010-11-26 18:32:26 <bitanarchy> MacRohard: I was not talking about making pauments... just generate more hashes... that would require the private key right.
1127 2010-11-26 18:32:35 <MacRohard> yes
1128 2010-11-26 18:32:37 <bitanarchy> =payments
1129 2010-11-26 18:32:46 <MacRohard> but smartcards are extremely underpowered and nto at all suited to generating blocks
1130 2010-11-26 18:33:18 <bitanarchy> I thought hash=bitcoin adress...
1131 2010-11-26 18:33:28 <bitanarchy> you mean block hash
1132 2010-11-26 18:33:34 <MacRohard> well what do you mean?
1133 2010-11-26 18:33:52 <bitanarchy> People want to generate more adresses right.
1134 2010-11-26 18:34:10 <MacRohard> i dunno? do they?
1135 2010-11-26 18:34:42 <bitanarchy> I read some advice: use a new bitcoin address for every transaction.
1136 2010-11-26 18:35:00 <bitanarchy> receiving transaction
1137 2010-11-26 18:35:05 <MacRohard> yea.. so you just press the get new address button and it gives you one
1138 2010-11-26 18:35:20 <bitanarchy> that requires the private key in the wallet
1139 2010-11-26 18:35:25 <MacRohard> true
1140 2010-11-26 18:36:17 <MacRohard> you could pre-generate a bunch of addresses
1141 2010-11-26 18:36:27 <MacRohard> so that they could be given out without having to conenct the card
1142 2010-11-26 18:36:54 <bitanarchy> Can the bitcoin client verify whether a bitcoin address belongs to the wallet? Or can it only track down hashes that it knows were generated from the wallet?
1143 2010-11-26 18:37:56 <MacRohard> i guess the hash is of the public key or something.. you could get a list of valid hashes from the card and cache them for later use
1144 2010-11-26 18:37:59 <bitanarchy> hashes->addresses
1145 2010-11-26 18:40:48 <bitanarchy> Anyway... I wouldn even trust my ubuntu machine... it is downloading from god knows what repositories... that is not a place for a large wallet either.
1146 2010-11-26 18:42:31 <nanotube> bitanarchy: it only downloads from repositories that you tell it to use ...
1147 2010-11-26 18:42:54 <bitanarchy> yeah... I do not spend much time checking that... when I add one
1148 2010-11-26 18:43:09 <MacRohard> probably wouldn't be hard to get malicious code into something that everyone updates anyway
1149 2010-11-26 18:43:50 <bitanarchy> but i feel infinitely more secure than on my windows partition :-)
1150 2010-11-26 18:44:57 <altamic> a smartcard could be useful to store a simmetrical key to de/encrypt a wallet.dat file buring the client operations preventing unauthorized duplication of a wallet files regardless of the os. It will make sense as more capital flows into bitcoin

1152 2010-11-26 18:50:03 <bitanarchy> what is the simplest way to get a  gpu miner installed on linux?
1153 2010-11-26 19:06:43 RazielZ has joined
1154 2010-11-26 19:12:18 <nanotube> bitanarchy: get either Diablo-D3 or m0mchil miner... install some dependencies... and off you go :)
1155 2010-11-26 19:13:43 <bitanarchy> I read the forum that m0mchil is the faster one. But it is a lot of hacking...
1156 2010-11-26 19:14:25 <bitanarchy> Anyway, does it work behind a firewall that I do not control?
1157 2010-11-26 19:17:26 <tcatm> it's better to run bitcoind and the miner on the same physical network
1158 2010-11-26 19:18:52 <bitanarchy> I mean, does it matter that port (what is it) 8333 is something, is blocked from the outside?
1159 2010-11-26 19:19:56 <tcatm> yes
1160 2010-11-26 19:20:10 <tcatm> it will still work, but not as good as with port 8333 open
1161 2010-11-26 19:20:27 <bitanarchy> is there a workaround?
1162 2010-11-26 19:20:36 <tcatm> open port 8333 :)

1164 2010-11-26 19:22:06 <bitanarchy> How much time does it take with the gpu miner to earn back your 5770?
1165 2010-11-26 19:22:49 <tcatm> 2 to 3 months
1166 2010-11-26 19:23:25 <bitanarchy> Since after a few months of 24hour work of the 5770 it will be worn out, right? :-)
1167 2010-11-26 19:23:57 <tcatm> if you keep it cool, it should last much longer
1168 2010-11-26 19:24:57 <bitanarchy> What temperature? <23C

1171 2010-11-26 19:25:42 <bitanarchy> how do you measure or request the temp of the gpu?

1173 2010-11-26 19:26:01 <brocktice> on linux anyway
1174 2010-11-26 19:28:20 <bitanarchy> im now running ub 10.4, with the fglrx driver that came with the distro. It is working fine now. I see that my xorg.conf is still empty... why would i need to run aticonfig --inital anyway?
1175 2010-11-26 19:28:42 <brocktice> if it's working fine, no
1176 2010-11-26 19:29:37 <bitanarchy> brocktice: your command gives: No layout section was found in the file: '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'.

1189 2010-11-26 19:41:19 <brocktice> would be higher but this is the machine I actually use to do things :)
1190 2010-11-26 19:41:23 <brocktice> don't want the desktop lagging
1191 2010-11-26 19:41:28 <brocktice> my 5970s are cooler

1205 2010-11-26 19:43:01 <brocktice> UukGoblin, no, card bios
1206 2010-11-26 19:43:14 <brocktice> I'm afraid to screw with the one because it's an Eyefinity 5 and has a non-standard bios
1207 2010-11-26 19:43:15 <UukGoblin> brocktice, it looks like the limit is in the driver though... but I might be wrong...
1208 2010-11-26 19:43:34 <ArtForz> my slowest 5770 does 1010
1209 2010-11-26 19:43:34 <brocktice> http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=57750
1210 2010-11-26 19:43:54 <UukGoblin> ArtForz, did you fiddle with its BIOS?
1211 2010-11-26 19:43:59 <ArtForz> yep
1212 2010-11-26 19:44:07 <ArtForz> RBE = fun
1213 2010-11-26 19:44:24 <UukGoblin> ah, cool
1214 2010-11-26 19:45:04 <UukGoblin> and after that the drivers will automagically allow for more MHzs?
1215 2010-11-26 19:45:08 <ArtForz> yep
1216 2010-11-26 19:45:22 <ArtForz> I increased OD core limit on mine from 960 to 1200
1217 2010-11-26 19:45:49 <brocktice> ArtForz, you're cooling those with the ultra-kaze tunnels, right?
1218 2010-11-26 19:45:54 <ArtForz> yep
1219 2010-11-26 19:45:59 <bitanarchy> I suppose this is how to get the m0mchil miner up: http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=1334.msg22412;topicseen#msg22412
1220 2010-11-26 19:46:35 <ArtForz> btw, small trick for getting 5970 OCs more stable: set all core voltages == highest core voltage
1221 2010-11-26 19:48:17 <brocktice> Oh?
1222 2010-11-26 19:48:18 <brocktice> hm
1223 2010-11-26 19:48:20 <brocktice> thanks
1224 2010-11-26 19:48:28 <brocktice> you used 'method 2' on the 5770s?
1225 2010-11-26 19:48:44 <ArtForz> the non-signature based one
1226 2010-11-26 19:48:51 <brocktice> yeah
1227 2010-11-26 19:49:13 <ArtForz> yep
1228 2010-11-26 19:49:13 <brocktice> did you have to bump vcore at all?
1229 2010-11-26 19:49:19 <ArtForz> on the 5770s?
1230 2010-11-26 19:49:21 <brocktice> yeah
1231 2010-11-26 19:49:33 <ArtForz> nope, mine dont have a programmable VRM
1232 2010-11-26 19:49:45 <brocktice> oh, yeah I guess mine don't either.
1233 2010-11-26 19:51:23 RazielZ has quit ()
1234 2010-11-26 19:51:27 <brocktice> so on the 5970s you set the same voltage for all 4 registers?
1235 2010-11-26 19:51:54 <ArtForz> yep
1236 2010-11-26 19:51:56 <brocktice> why would that help? that's kind of strange
1237 2010-11-26 19:52:30 <ArtForz> no clue, but a card that would consistently cause lockups after a few hours @ 910 now happily runs @ 920 at the same voltage
1238 2010-11-26 19:52:35 <brocktice> huh
1239 2010-11-26 19:52:44 <brocktice> must periodically cycle into a different level or something
1240 2010-11-26 19:52:48 <ArtForz> yep
1241 2010-11-26 19:54:03 <ArtForz> I suspect it's either onset of throttling or random system events causing short term lower usage
1242 2010-11-26 19:54:09 <brocktice> well, thanks for the tip
1243 2010-11-26 19:54:19 <brocktice> I've updated my roms, will flash next time I take the machine down
1244 2010-11-26 19:54:35 <ArtForz> it's not that weird when you think about it, you see the same thing with CPUs
1245 2010-11-26 19:55:05 <ArtForz> not to mention we're really stressing those VRMs

1257 2010-11-26 19:57:15 <ArtForz> probably not
1258 2010-11-26 19:57:15 <nanotube> well, you can blame newegg for not upping their capacity today

1261 2010-11-26 19:57:49 <ArtForz> I suspect the latest 5970 price reductions == getting rid of remaining stock
1262 2010-11-26 19:58:53 <ArtForz> the last cypresses were probably made well over 6 months ago
1263 2010-11-26 19:59:18 <brocktice> ArtForz, what did you say it was, 40mm or so for two slot spacing?
1264 2010-11-26 19:59:28 <ArtForz> 1.6"
1265 2010-11-26 19:59:37 <ArtForz> one slot = 0.8"
1266 2010-11-26 19:59:51 <brocktice> yeah 40.64 then
1267 2010-11-26 20:01:04 <bitanarchy> why do i need the kernel development kit to make the bitcoin miner?
1268 2010-11-26 20:01:56 <ArtForz> whu?
1269 2010-11-26 20:02:00 <bitanarchy> i see: (because the ATI GPU driver is installed by compiling a kernel module.

1302 2010-11-26 20:49:07 <Diablo-D3> that is the line thats segfaulting for you
1303 2010-11-26 20:49:11 <Diablo-D3> er, exceptioning
1304 2010-11-26 20:49:16 <Diablo-D3> there is no way that can do so
1305 2010-11-26 20:49:36 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, well I can get past that exception with a fixed -w
1306 2010-11-26 20:49:48 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: yes, but you dont need a -w at all
1307 2010-11-26 20:49:52 <Diablo-D3> you're on a radeon 5xxx
1308 2010-11-26 20:49:57 <Diablo-D3> the default automatically is correct
1309 2010-11-26 20:50:16 <UukGoblin> well I do, to get past that exception :-]
1310 2010-11-26 20:50:29 <Diablo-D3> yes, which leads me to believe something on your machine is very broken
1311 2010-11-26 20:51:30 <UukGoblin> I wouldn't call it 'very' and I wouldn't call it 'machine' - more like, "the new ati driver or java shit" and "system"
1312 2010-11-26 20:51:36 <Kiba> another problem with Diablo-D3 's miner?
1313 2010-11-26 20:51:47 <Diablo-D3> Kiba: nope, just UukGoblin's machine
1314 2010-11-26 20:52:15 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: for that method to fail, then either the kernel, the device, or the thing I'm asking for has to be wrong
1315 2010-11-26 20:52:18 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, first of all, is it possible to detect if the kernel was ran at all and display an error message if it hasn't?
1316 2010-11-26 20:52:28 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: it is
1317 2010-11-26 20:52:32 <Diablo-D3> you wont like the result
1318 2010-11-26 20:52:56 <UukGoblin> what do you mean? I just get a crazy number of khash
1319 2010-11-26 20:53:09 <UukGoblin> oh, it is /possible/
1320 2010-11-26 20:53:10 <Diablo-D3> well, the only thing I can do is stop the miner
1321 2010-11-26 20:55:51 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: and btw
1322 2010-11-26 20:56:07 <Diablo-D3> the hash meter is done by adding to a hash counter every loop
1323 2010-11-26 20:56:13 <UukGoblin> oh ffs java is annoying.. erroring the build because of an unreachable statement...
1324 2010-11-26 20:56:25 <Diablo-D3> thats not annoying
1325 2010-11-26 20:56:29 <Diablo-D3> I wish gcc did that
1326 2010-11-26 20:56:38 <UukGoblin> it can with -Werror
1327 2010-11-26 20:56:55 <Diablo-D3> I wasnt aware they had that as a warning yet
1328 2010-11-26 20:56:58 <Diablo-D3> which is what Im saying
1329 2010-11-26 20:57:03 <Diablo-D3> I already use -Werror habitually
1330 2010-11-26 20:57:13 <UukGoblin> -Wall or -Wextra perhaps
1331 2010-11-26 20:58:06 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: anyhow
1332 2010-11-26 20:58:11 <Diablo-D3> that exception makes no sense
1333 2010-11-26 20:58:28 <Diablo-D3> because if the device didnt exist... it simply wouldnt exist, we would have never gotten here on that device
1334 2010-11-26 20:58:48 <Diablo-D3> if the kernel was wrong, you would have gotten a failed to build error message or an exception or something relevant to that
1335 2010-11-26 21:00:30 <UukGoblin> lol I googled something and it found my pastie ;-]
1336 2010-11-26 21:00:39 <Diablo-D3> Hrm.
1337 2010-11-26 21:00:43 <Diablo-D3> check the thread
1338 2010-11-26 21:00:48 <Diablo-D3> someone else reported this
1339 2010-11-26 21:00:53 <Diablo-D3> something isnt right somewhere
1340 2010-11-26 21:03:23 <UukGoblin> kernel1 is null.
1341 2010-11-26 21:03:38 xelister has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
1342 2010-11-26 21:03:56 <Diablo-D3> yes, which the only way you can get that is after already having quit the program with an error that the kernel didnt build.
1343 2010-11-26 21:04:50 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: wait, kernel _1_ is null
1344 2010-11-26 21:04:55 <Diablo-D3> it should be
1345 2010-11-26 21:05:14 <Diablo-D3> 1 and 2 are only created if split is enabled
1346 2010-11-26 21:05:17 <UukGoblin> forceSplit is false
1347 2010-11-26 21:05:26 <Diablo-D3> 0 is created if split isnt
1348 2010-11-26 21:05:42 <UukGoblin> I guess clGetKernelWorkGroupInfo doesn't like the kernel to be null?
1349 2010-11-26 21:06:02 <UukGoblin> so kernel1 is set to null indeed
1350 2010-11-26 21:06:04 <Diablo-D3> oh shit.
1351 2010-11-26 21:06:18 <Diablo-D3> I think I forgot to update some code when I added the split shit
1352 2010-11-26 21:06:20 <Diablo-D3> oops
1353 2010-11-26 21:07:42 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: then I just discovered a different bug
1354 2010-11-26 21:07:45 <UukGoblin> see? it's NOT my machine :-]
1355 2010-11-26 21:07:49 <Diablo-D3> that DOESNT fail on radeon 4xxx.
1356 2010-11-26 21:07:55 <Diablo-D3> and it must
1357 2010-11-26 21:07:59 <Diablo-D3> thx ati
1358 2010-11-26 21:08:03 <UukGoblin> :->
1359 2010-11-26 21:08:13 <Diablo-D3> so yes, it still is your fault
1360 2010-11-26 21:08:20 <UukGoblin> lol
1361 2010-11-26 21:08:26 <Diablo-D3> you dont own ancient hardware like I do >_>
1362 2010-11-26 21:08:44 <UukGoblin> I do own some ancient stuff, but not ancient radeons
1363 2010-11-26 21:08:53 <brocktice> ArtForz: I didn't have much luck with overclocking the 5770s
1364 2010-11-26 21:08:53 <UukGoblin> in ancient times, I preferred nvidia
1365 2010-11-26 21:09:01 <brocktice> it freezes up if I try for 950
1366 2010-11-26 21:09:08 <brocktice> they didn't seem especially hot either
1367 2010-11-26 21:09:12 <UukGoblin> brocktice, what's the temp?
1368 2010-11-26 21:09:18 <Diablo-D3> brocktice: voltage fail, thats why
1369 2010-11-26 21:10:25 <brocktice> ArtForz had success without changing the voltage
1370 2010-11-26 21:10:28 <brocktice> could just be my model
1371 2010-11-26 21:10:32 <brocktice> temp is around 70c
1372 2010-11-26 21:10:33 <Diablo-D3> its not even per model
1373 2010-11-26 21:10:35 <Diablo-D3> its per chip
1374 2010-11-26 21:10:44 <Diablo-D3> every single chip is slightly different
1375 2010-11-26 21:10:54 <UukGoblin> unique.
1376 2010-11-26 21:11:01 <UukGoblin> that's what makes them special
1377 2010-11-26 21:11:04 <Diablo-D3> mhz/pipe bins and model voltages are chosen based on statistics
1378 2010-11-26 21:11:52 <Diablo-D3> so, once you go outside of that, you have to take into account this uniqueness.
1379 2010-11-26 21:13:40 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, are you fixing that?
1380 2010-11-26 21:13:46 <brocktice> Hm
1381 2010-11-26 21:13:56 <brocktice> I wonder too if the one driving four displays is more finicky
1382 2010-11-26 21:14:03 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: yeah just wait a sec
1383 2010-11-26 21:14:05 <brocktice> I should try just pushing the one with no displays
1384 2010-11-26 21:19:49 <CIA-106> DiabloMiner: Patrick McFarland master * ra6a5b27 / src/main/java/com/diablominer/DiabloMiner/DiabloMiner.java : Fixed obscure bug, thanks UukGoblin - http://bit.ly/gqhkb0
1385 2010-11-26 21:26:07 <altamic> how did you get that?
1386 2010-11-26 21:26:22 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: so, there, fixed.
1387 2010-11-26 21:26:30 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: and I added the queue fail detection
1388 2010-11-26 21:30:05 <UukGoblin> awesome
1389 2010-11-26 21:30:09 <UukGoblin> mvn'ing
1390 2010-11-26 21:30:22 <UukGoblin> (this maven looks cool btw - autopulls deps and shit)
1391 2010-11-26 21:31:07 <UukGoblin> ah, it uses work size of 256, so my 1000 was too high
1392 2010-11-26 21:32:16 <UukGoblin> so, it's supposed to use all available devices, right?
1393 2010-11-26 21:32:27 <UukGoblin> I mean it shows it's adding 2 Junipers which is what I have
1394 2010-11-26 21:33:31 <UukGoblin> but I'm getting like 164Mhash which is either wrong or crap
1395 2010-11-26 21:33:59 <UukGoblin> using m0's, my one card does ~175Mhash, the other ~155Mhash
1396 2010-11-26 21:34:45 <UukGoblin> (good news is that it works)
1397 2010-11-26 21:35:20 <UukGoblin> (and properly shows an error message now when I do -w 1000)
1398 2010-11-26 21:36:28 <UukGoblin> Diablo-D3, am I supposed to run multiple instances of your miner?
1399 2010-11-26 21:37:49 theymos has joined

1406 2010-11-26 21:39:36 <UukGoblin> and 2 instances don't seem to have a higher combined khash/sec rate - at least not much (100M on first process, 80Mhash on second)
1407 2010-11-26 21:39:38 <tcatm> theymos: I have an idea for your blockexplorer. Can you show transactions that are pending to be included into the next block?
1408 2010-11-26 21:40:51 <UukGoblin> hrm, the drivers now fucked up my card numbers... odd
1409 2010-11-26 21:41:15 <theymos> tcatm: There's no JSON-RPC interface to do that. Maybe i'll write one at some point.
1410 2010-11-26 21:42:27 <UukGoblin> uh... one of my cards stopped working now? wtf...
1411 2010-11-26 21:44:08 <UukGoblin> does like 1-2Mhash/sec and doesn't heat up - which smells more like CPU mining
1412 2010-11-26 21:46:32 <UukGoblin> right, went back to normal after restarting X...
1413 2010-11-26 21:46:39 <UukGoblin> I'll try the java miner again
1414 2010-11-26 21:48:16 <UukGoblin> and it now gets ~158Mhash
1415 2010-11-26 21:48:38 <UukGoblin> with both cards moderately heated
1416 2010-11-26 21:48:46 <UukGoblin> so it uses 2, but not fully
1417 2010-11-26 21:49:32 <UukGoblin> also takes up the whole CPU and 164M of ram (the java process does)
1418 2010-11-26 21:49:53 <UukGoblin> yeah both GPUs are loaded in ~50%
1419 2010-11-26 21:50:00 <UukGoblin> probably due to CPU choking
1420 2010-11-26 21:50:49 <UukGoblin> I prefer 99% of m0's and a usable CPU :-]

1450 2010-11-26 23:10:31 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: on radeon 5xxx, you must use -a if you're on stream sdk 2.1
1451 2010-11-26 23:10:40 <Diablo-D3> 2.2 automatically works right, but fucks you over on cpu usage

1466 2010-11-26 23:23:32 <theymos> bitanarchy: (Re: your comments from a while ago.) You can get transaction data on your own: Run a loop to output every getblock block to a single file. Search this file for the hash160 of the address you're interested in (the address->hash160 code is public). The transactions and their amounts are easily gotten from this, though figuring out current balances takes a bit more hassle (still possible, though). This is what I did before I made BBE.

1481 2010-11-26 23:55:12 <Diablo-D3> I dont think Ive ever seen real money
1482 2010-11-26 23:55:20 <MT`AwAy> tcatm, mtgox delivers LRUSD, which is a pain to convert to USD
1483 2010-11-26 23:55:20 <Diablo-D3> sounds like a myth
1484 2010-11-26 23:55:29 <Diablo-D3> MT`AwAy: no it isnt.
1485 2010-11-26 23:55:36 <MT`AwAy> Diablo-D3, you know what I mean, stop trolling :p
1486 2010-11-26 23:55:44 <tcatm> it's just a few clicks to convert LRUSD to EUR. what makes it so hard for USD?
1487 2010-11-26 23:55:57 <Diablo-D3> MT`AwAy: you mean its a pain to not get fee'ed to death
1488 2010-11-26 23:56:05 <MT`AwAy> Diablo-D3, yep
1489 2010-11-26 23:56:12 <MT`AwAy> I mean the contrary
1490 2010-11-26 23:56:16 <Diablo-D3> so do it in massive bulk like art does
1491 2010-11-26 23:56:26 <MT`AwAy> in the end, I get more fees from bitcoins
1492 2010-11-26 23:56:27 <Diablo-D3> he pays the fee
1493 2010-11-26 23:56:34 <Kiba> how about The Madhatter?
1494 2010-11-26 23:56:35 <Diablo-D3> and then goes and buys 20 more video cards
1495 2010-11-26 23:56:45 <Diablo-D3> bastard, he is >_>
1496 2010-11-26 23:56:56 <Kiba> I thought he's going to stop expanding
1497 2010-11-26 23:56:58 <Diablo-D3> MT`AwAy: well, only because btc has not become the global standard
1498 2010-11-26 23:57:01 bertodsera has joined
1499 2010-11-26 23:57:08 <MT`AwAy> Diablo-D3, yep, still a pain :D
1500 2010-11-26 23:57:10 <Kiba> it's a global currency
1501 2010-11-26 23:57:16 <Diablo-D3> Kiba: no, hes just going to save up to hire an electritian to put in more power sockets
1502 2010-11-26 23:57:17 <Kiba> at least in the Western world
1503 2010-11-26 23:57:24 <Diablo-D3> Kiba: hes only TELLING us that hes stopping
1504 2010-11-26 23:57:24 <Kiba> the Asians are going to be a bit..harder than that
1505 2010-11-26 23:57:25 <MT`AwAy> Kiba, I'm in Japan
1506 2010-11-26 23:57:42 <Diablo-D3> Kiba: but he cant stop
1507 2010-11-26 23:57:44 <Diablo-D3> Kiba: its like a drug
1508 2010-11-26 23:57:51 <Diablo-D3> he is crushing up btc and snorting them
1509 2010-11-26 23:58:04 <Kiba> MT`AwAy: maybe you could set up a yen bitcoin exchange
1510 2010-11-26 23:58:35 <MT`AwAy> Kiba, not many other japanese people around yet
1511 2010-11-26 23:58:40 <MT`AwAy> except Satoshi maybe
1512 2010-11-26 23:58:46 <Diablo-D3> satoshi isnt really japanese though
1513 2010-11-26 23:58:48 <Diablo-D3> hes in the US iirc
1514 2010-11-26 23:59:02 <MT`AwAy> I was expecting something like that :p
1515 2010-11-26 23:59:05 <Kiba> his profile said he's from Japan...
1516 2010-11-26 23:59:13 <Diablo-D3> Kiba: hes on loan
1517 2010-11-26 23:59:42 <MT`AwAy> Diablo-D3, he's running away from yakuza? :p
1518 2010-11-26 23:59:46 <Diablo-D3> so until we ship him back to the land of the rising sun, hes not japanese
1519 2010-11-26 23:59:54 <Diablo-D3> MT`AwAy: DURFA HURF YAKUZA
1520 2010-11-26 23:59:54 * Kiba is trying damn hard to make Mystery of Satoshi a meme
