1 2010-12-26 00:00:45 <slush> Diablo-D3: Do you have any calculated low-difficulty getwork to submit lying around?
2 2010-12-26 00:01:06 <slush> I'm on shitty Atom netbook without any GPU and need hash to testing :-)
3 2010-12-26 00:01:14 <slush> It takes hours to calculate even diff1 hash here
4 2010-12-26 00:01:42 <sipa> what do you need?
5 2010-12-26 00:02:28 <slush> sipa: Result from miner valid from difficulty 1 :)
6 2010-12-26 00:02:34 <slush> from => for
7 2010-12-26 00:02:50 <sipa> and what do you need from it?
8 2010-12-26 00:03:01 <sipa> the sent work?
9 2010-12-26 00:03:03 <slush> sipa: I need to submi
10 2010-12-26 00:03:15 <slush> I need to submit it to my dev pool to test something
11 2010-12-26 00:03:33 <slush> simply the string from miner

15 2010-12-26 00:05:57 <Diablo-D3> slush: er, huh?
16 2010-12-26 00:06:09 <Diablo-D3> slush: do I have what?
17 2010-12-26 00:06:25 <slush> sipa: Btw if you need more history from pool, add ?history= parameter; default is 20, you can increase up to 1000
18 2010-12-26 00:06:40 <slush> Diablo-D3: Oh, nothing, sipa already sent me one :)
19 2010-12-26 00:07:04 <Diablo-D3> that does what?
20 2010-12-26 00:07:29 <sipa> just a valid calculated share

25 2010-12-26 00:16:20 <sipa> slush: the change you're proposing is effective equivalent to people letting their miner only connect to the pool for 90% of the time, and 10% to an own client
26 2010-12-26 00:16:30 <slush> da2ce7: Hi, what do you think about proposal in pool forum?
27 2010-12-26 00:16:32 <sipa> in the long run
28 2010-12-26 00:17:30 <slush> sipa: not so clear. It depends on miner performance.
29 2010-12-26 00:17:34 <ArtForz> which means in the long run everyone ends up with the same share
30 2010-12-26 00:17:52 <slush> sipa: If you are strong guy, you can earn little more in pool
31 2010-12-26 00:18:06 <ArtForz> which is kinda opposite the purpose of a pool
32 2010-12-26 00:18:23 joe_1 has joined
33 2010-12-26 00:19:12 <ArtForz> errr... no
34 2010-12-26 00:19:21 <ArtForz> long term the distribution is exactly the same
35 2010-12-26 00:19:34 <sipa> slush: on average it doesn't matter in the real long term
36 2010-12-26 00:19:44 <slush> Current fair share is something like 'faucet' for small guys. I think it can be annoying for players with many blocks they have to divide with many many others
37 2010-12-26 00:20:03 <slush> sipa: I agree. Tell it to other people :)
38 2010-12-26 00:20:35 <ArtForz> and why even bother with a pool if you have enough hashrate to find several blocks/day?
39 2010-12-26 00:20:45 <sipa> indeed
40 2010-12-26 00:21:02 <sipa> i'm inclined to vote against the change now
41 2010-12-26 00:21:13 <sipa> it may scare away bigger players
42 2010-12-26 00:21:30 <Kiba> the bigger players could pool their resources...
43 2010-12-26 00:21:34 <slush> This is only something satoshi proposed. personally I'm not fully confident
44 2010-12-26 00:21:56 <sipa> but they will survive on their own, and keep it a nicer place for those who are either trusting statistics or only have little processing power :)
45 2010-12-26 00:22:12 <Diablo-D3> slush: you know what Im thinking?
46 2010-12-26 00:22:20 <slush> Diablo-D3: tell me
47 2010-12-26 00:22:22 <Diablo-D3> slush: every winner block gets 4BTC, and I get 1.

52 2010-12-26 00:23:38 <ArtForz> btw, fast miners also *have* to send quite a few getworks
53 2010-12-26 00:23:41 <skull23> Whats the best methode to making bitcoins atm?
54 2010-12-26 00:23:42 <slush> Diablo-D3: 'I get 1' you mean "i" as you? :)
55 2010-12-26 00:24:09 <slush> skull23: selling goods and services
56 2010-12-26 00:24:21 <sipa> slush: buying them :)
57 2010-12-26 00:24:22 * Kiba is working on goods to sell
58 2010-12-26 00:24:23 <sipa> oh
59 2010-12-26 00:24:24 <Diablo-D3> slush: yes.
60 2010-12-26 00:24:28 <sipa> skull23: buying them :)
61 2010-12-26 00:24:45 <Diablo-D3> [07:21:20] <ArtForz> btw, fast miners also *have* to send quite a few getworks
62 2010-12-26 00:24:46 <Diablo-D3> yes
63 2010-12-26 00:25:20 <ArtForz> yep, 4/sec @ 16GH/s just to not run out of nonces
64 2010-12-26 00:25:39 <Diablo-D3> heh
65 2010-12-26 00:25:47 <Diablo-D3> thats why my miner has VERY careful nonce checking
66 2010-12-26 00:26:00 <Diablo-D3> otherwise you could easily shoot yourself in the foot
67 2010-12-26 00:28:08 x6763 has joined
68 2010-12-26 00:28:47 <ArtForz> well, I solved it in a pretty simple fashion in my push based getwork equiv
69 2010-12-26 00:29:11 <Diablo-D3> I solved it easily in my design
70 2010-12-26 00:29:15 <ArtForz> each connected miner gets its own privkey = merkle root
71 2010-12-26 00:29:46 <ArtForz> I share a connection between GPU threads, so max I have appearing as one miner is 4 5970s
72 2010-12-26 00:30:23 <ArtForz> nTime is updated every second anyways, so I have plenty of headroom

223 2010-12-26 06:31:21 <genjix> no awesome.
224 2010-12-26 06:31:22 * Kiba ponders of translating western comics into Japanese
225 2010-12-26 06:31:40 <Kiba> xmonad is not awesome? ;_;
226 2010-12-26 06:31:50 <Kiba> bidirectional...cultural exchange
227 2010-12-26 06:31:50 <genjix> no they're different.
228 2010-12-26 06:32:01 <Kiba> maybe
229 2010-12-26 06:32:13 <Kiba> we could set up a bidirectional cultural exchange operation

232 2010-12-26 06:49:29 <da2ce7> hey, anyone have a graph of the real bitcoins generated over time?
233 2010-12-26 06:49:48 <genjix> da2ce7: yep its on wikipedia
234 2010-12-26 06:49:49 <da2ce7> not the idealized 6*50/h
235 2010-12-26 06:49:52 <genjix> oh
236 2010-12-26 06:50:21 <nanotube> da2ce7: well... it's probably "relatively close" to the idealized one. :)
237 2010-12-26 06:50:46 <da2ce7> I'm just trying to calulate 'market cap' in USD over time
238 2010-12-26 06:52:25 <da2ce7> hmm, well if it hasn't been made yet, I put a 50BTC bounty out on that graph. :)
239 2010-12-26 06:53:27 <da2ce7> but it needs to be good quality, like tcatm's graphs on bitcoincharts.com
240 2010-12-26 06:54:09 * Kiba ponders

428 2010-12-26 11:38:51 <lfm> naw he left
429 2010-12-26 11:40:24 <lfm> you should never worry about using /ignore. it defeats the purpose! :-)
430 2010-12-26 11:42:28 <scibotic> Only a problem when the channel suddenly goes silent after I do said command. :P

442 2010-12-26 12:51:12 <lfm> good idea
443 2010-12-26 12:51:49 TD has joined
444 2010-12-26 12:52:07 <lfm> it might be on the new year ( but probably before I guess)
445 2010-12-26 12:52:20 <TD> what might cause a transaction i've sent to not make it into any blocks? i mean, i understand the protocols and that inv propagation is not really guaranteed, but i've missed several blocks now
446 2010-12-26 12:53:18 <lfm> td could be just real bad luck I spoze. is there anything special about the txn?
447 2010-12-26 12:53:25 <TD> no
448 2010-12-26 12:53:32 <TD> it's only for 2 coins
449 2010-12-26 12:53:40 <TD> but i guess that shouldn't matter
450 2010-12-26 12:53:52 <lfm> is it sepnding coins that have been fully confirmed?
451 2010-12-26 12:53:57 <TD> yes
452 2010-12-26 12:54:02 <TD> maybe i need to include a fee
453 2010-12-26 12:54:05 <BoBeR> no
454 2010-12-26 12:54:11 <BoBeR> fees are still useless
455 2010-12-26 12:54:20 <lfm> I dont think a fee should be needed.
456 2010-12-26 12:54:28 <BoBeR> whats the confirmation on the sent coins
457 2010-12-26 12:54:30 <TD> ok, that's what i thought ..... still lots of generators not requiring them
458 2010-12-26 12:54:33 <BoBeR> are you sure the address is worknig
459 2010-12-26 12:54:44 <TD> 952 confirmations
460 2010-12-26 12:54:51 <BoBeR> then its sent
461 2010-12-26 12:55:07 <lfm> you can look at the block browser to see if there is any odd activity going on that might explain it
462 2010-12-26 12:55:18 <TD> yeah i looked at the explorer. everything looks normal
463 2010-12-26 12:55:24 <BoBeR> then its sent
464 2010-12-26 12:55:27 <BoBeR> i dont see the problem
465 2010-12-26 12:55:31 <TD> BoBeR: i mean the previous tx is 952 confirmations. the one i just sent now is sitting at zero
466 2010-12-26 12:55:39 <TD> i guess it's indeed just bad luck

470 2010-12-26 12:56:01 <BoBeR> new blocks took 40 min at times
471 2010-12-26 12:56:08 <lfm> if you like to tell us the address we can watch for it
472 2010-12-26 12:56:11 <TD> lots of nodes offline at christmas i guess
473 2010-12-26 12:56:12 <BoBeR> it seems ~20 % of the network died
474 2010-12-26 12:56:15 <TD> well i can tail the block explorer
475 2010-12-26 12:56:22 <TD> so no problem
476 2010-12-26 12:56:44 <BoBeR> well
477 2010-12-26 12:56:50 <BoBeR> you can always sed money to us
478 2010-12-26 12:56:52 <TD> heh
479 2010-12-26 12:56:54 <lfm> you should be able to see whats happening in your debug.log too
480 2010-12-26 12:56:58 <TD> yeah
481 2010-12-26 12:57:04 <TD> watching that. i can see my client sending invs
482 2010-12-26 12:57:05 <BoBeR> its 8 am should i go to sleep or make break fast
483 2010-12-26 12:57:07 <TD> just have to wait i suppose

486 2010-12-26 12:59:00 <lfm> td it seems some miners are getting kinda lazy about keeping up with transactionsa
487 2010-12-26 12:59:14 <TD> hmm
488 2010-12-26 12:59:25 <TD> like maybe slushs pool isn't distributing transactions quickly enough or something
489 2010-12-26 12:59:58 <sipa> what do you mean by distributing transactions?
490 2010-12-26 13:00:07 <TD> to the mining nodes
491 2010-12-26 13:00:33 <sipa> ?
492 2010-12-26 13:00:39 <TD> ignore me .....
493 2010-12-26 13:00:41 <sipa> it's the mining nodes that ask for work
494 2010-12-26 13:00:46 <sipa> from the pool
495 2010-12-26 13:01:27 <lfm> not sure exactly and it may be just my immagination. perhaps a fee might help for such situations but if you already sent yours its too late to add a fee now
496 2010-12-26 13:02:18 <sipa> i'm not sure what you're talking about
497 2010-12-26 13:02:30 <lfm> sipa: I mean miners might be lazy about updating there blocks to include new transactions as they come out since they get the 50 coin reward anyway
498 2010-12-26 13:03:20 <sipa> miners ask the client (which may be a pool) for work every few seconds
499 2010-12-26 13:03:43 <lfm> sipa this would be about custom miners. the standard client is quite fair about it
500 2010-12-26 13:03:56 <sipa> i'm talking about custom miners
501 2010-12-26 13:04:08 <sipa> at least, the ones by momchil and diabolo
502 2010-12-26 13:04:14 <lfm> sipa ya, it would be at the poll server that it would be lazy
503 2010-12-26 13:04:28 <sipa> yes
504 2010-12-26 13:04:48 <lfm> sipa, like I say, I dont really know if it is happening at all, just a wild suspicion
505 2010-12-26 13:04:57 <sipa> you'd have to ask slush
506 2010-12-26 13:06:00 <lfm> and so fees would be a way to motivate them to be more diligent about adding in new transactions
507 2010-12-26 13:07:02 <sipa> let's see
508 2010-12-26 13:07:54 <lfm> sipa you gonna offer a fee to see if it gets thru faster than TD's 2 btc?
509 2010-12-26 13:08:23 <devon_hillard> What is better currently for bitcoin: CUDA or OpenCL?
510 2010-12-26 13:09:10 <lfm> opencl because cuda is only good for nvidia and ati is much better for bitcoin mining
511 2010-12-26 13:10:17 <devon_hillard> Is it due to the better openCL API or the more powerful ATI cards?
512 2010-12-26 13:10:37 <lfm> devon_hillard: if you're stuck with an nvidia card, well it probably doesnt reall matter much if you use cuda or opencl, it might be a little better with cuda, im not sure
513 2010-12-26 13:11:12 <devon_hillard> lfm, I have an ATI card, but apparently there is a large community of researchers working with CUDA
514 2010-12-26 13:11:25 <devon_hillard> so I was wondering if it's an API thing
515 2010-12-26 13:11:29 <lfm> devon_hillard: ATI works better for bitcoin cuz bitcoin mining is purely integer operations, nvidia is maybe better for floating point
516 2010-12-26 13:11:31 RichardG has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
517 2010-12-26 13:11:33 <TD> it missed another two blocks
518 2010-12-26 13:11:36 <TD> hrmmm
519 2010-12-26 13:11:39 RichardG has joined
520 2010-12-26 13:12:08 <lfm> devon_hillard: well you can't use cuda at all on your ATI card
521 2010-12-26 13:12:34 <devon_hillard> lfm: yes, I was wondering if the NVidia hardware was more powerful, though
522 2010-12-26 13:12:46 <devon_hillard> since they have been working on CUDA for longer
523 2010-12-26 13:12:59 <lfm> devon_hillard: I think ATI is currently higher power in general
524 2010-12-26 13:13:02 <devon_hillard> and GPU-computing clusters coming out now are CUDA exclusive
525 2010-12-26 13:13:11 <sipa> lfm: no i am going to check how long it takes before the work i get from the pool includes the recently found block
526 2010-12-26 13:13:17 <wumpus> ati is much faster for integer arithmetic
527 2010-12-26 13:13:24 <wumpus> which is what is used for cracking / bitcoin
528 2010-12-26 13:13:24 <sipa> and i believe currently there are no clients which bother about transaction fees at all
529 2010-12-26 13:13:32 <lfm> devon_hillard: I suspect more opencl work will be comming aalong soon
530 2010-12-26 13:13:45 <wumpus> much faster as in can be like four times faster for the same price of hw
531 2010-12-26 13:14:42 <lfm> devon_hillard: remember for the super-computer systems, they may takes years to plan and organize
532 2010-12-26 13:15:57 <lfm> TD if the net somehow lost your txn, it will be re-transmitted every half hour or so till it gets thru
533 2010-12-26 13:17:38 <lfm> sipa ya, I spoze if fees helped there would be a lot more of them showing up
534 2010-12-26 13:18:21 <devon_hillard> Can you exploit FPUs for hash breaking in any way?
535 2010-12-26 13:18:27 <devon_hillard> perhaps probabilistic algorithms
536 2010-12-26 13:18:41 <sipa> not efficiently, i think
537 2010-12-26 13:19:14 <lfm> devon_hillard: well thats sort like the way bitcoin works normally. doing millions of hashes looking for special ones with lots of zeros at one end
538 2010-12-26 13:20:12 <TD> lfm: every half hour?
539 2010-12-26 13:20:13 <TD> hmm
540 2010-12-26 13:20:15 <TD> that kind of sucks
541 2010-12-26 13:20:25 <TD> it'd be good if it was lower
542 2010-12-26 13:20:34 <wumpus> fp hardware is much more complex than integer hardware, it will not be efficient to wrap another integer layer above fp
543 2010-12-26 13:20:35 <TD> i guess that is what happened
544 2010-12-26 13:20:47 <lfm> td something like that ya, btw what block number are you on? I have 99506 here
545 2010-12-26 13:21:14 <TD> 99506. i am keeping up just fine
546 2010-12-26 13:21:20 <lfm> ok
547 2010-12-26 13:21:52 <TD> i'll have to wait for a retransmit
548 2010-12-26 13:22:08 <TD> i'd assumed that the client would resend transactions when restarted, but it seems not
549 2010-12-26 13:22:29 <BoBeR> its probolly out there
550 2010-12-26 13:22:45 <ArtForz> for FP GPGPU work ATI 5xxx/6xxx also wipes the floor with fermi
551 2010-12-26 13:23:24 <ArtForz> only area where nvidia performs decently is if you have significant noncoherent branching
552 2010-12-26 13:23:56 <lfm> ArtForz: ya probably just beurocratic lag time that they are still building cuda big systems
553 2010-12-26 13:24:18 <ArtForz> ATI arch is essentially 20-30 very wide SIMD processors
554 2010-12-26 13:25:13 <lfm> td in my debig.log it says it has txn dfcb936ac2fe910015bf you think thats yours?
555 2010-12-26 13:25:15 <ArtForz> while NVIDIA has 400-512 single-ALU cores
556 2010-12-26 13:25:37 <TD> i don't know how to see tx hashes of unconfirmed transactions
557 2010-12-26 13:25:43 <TD> i guess i could dump my wallet
558 2010-12-26 13:25:47 <lfm> td it is showing some other txn numbers now too
559 2010-12-26 13:25:59 <TD> my tx is 2 coins to 1LWgEH6SBFXUr1zYs7QSra9rpL8ktv9mP9
560 2010-12-26 13:26:05 <ArtForz> run gui with -debug and double click the TX ?

568 2010-12-26 13:27:16 <TD> my tx hash is 088804e127....
569 2010-12-26 13:28:32 <ArtForz> I think that 1 doesnt belong there
570 2010-12-26 13:28:45 <TD> oops
571 2010-12-26 13:28:46 <TD> right
572 2010-12-26 13:28:49 <TD> that's a typo
573 2010-12-26 13:28:51 <ArtForz> AcceptToMemoryPool(): accepted 088804e279
574 2010-12-26 13:28:55 <TD> it's 088804e279
575 2010-12-26 13:28:57 <TD> ah, great
576 2010-12-26 13:29:01 <TD> just have to wait then
577 2010-12-26 13:29:15 <ArtForz> yeah, blocks have been kinda slow over the last hours
578 2010-12-26 13:29:29 <BoBeR> seems like xmas ppl turn off there pcs
579 2010-12-26 13:29:30 <lfm> TD yup, my system has it
580 2010-12-26 13:29:51 <BoBeR> i has it too
581 2010-12-26 13:29:53 <ArtForz> or it's just a run of slow blocks
582 2010-12-26 13:30:06 <BoBeR> 40 mins for one
583 2010-12-26 13:30:09 <BoBeR> unlikly
584 2010-12-26 13:30:48 <ArtForz> we already had blocks > 2h while averaging 10+ blocks/h
585 2010-12-26 13:31:47 <lfm> TD looks like I only received that txn after I received block 99505
586 2010-12-26 13:32:00 <TD> guess it was indeed a retransmit. the wifi here sucks :)
587 2010-12-26 13:32:00 <ArtForz> block finding = poisson distribution
588 2010-12-26 13:32:24 <lfm> TD ah! ya wifi sucks in lots of places
589 2010-12-26 13:32:26 <nathan7> I'm so a poisson distribution!
590 2010-12-26 13:33:36 <BoBeR> go away xkcd
591 2010-12-26 13:34:10 <nathan7> =p
592 2010-12-26 13:35:50 <TD> there we go
593 2010-12-26 13:35:53 <TD> now it shows 1/unconfirmed
594 2010-12-26 13:36:17 <lfm> ya it musta just got into 99507
595 2010-12-26 13:38:00 <ArtForz> yep
596 2010-12-26 13:38:01 <BoBeR> WIN
597 2010-12-26 13:38:05 <BoBeR> now we can all sleep
598 2010-12-26 13:38:08 <ArtForz> 3rd tx in 99507
599 2010-12-26 13:38:09 <BoBeR> its 8 35 am
600 2010-12-26 13:38:12 <BoBeR> i need some nap time
601 2010-12-26 13:38:25 <lfm> gnite BoBeR
602 2010-12-26 13:40:04 <lfm> like a watched pot, when you're watching for a txn it takes 25 minutes for the next block!
603 2010-12-26 13:40:40 Cusipzzz has joined
604 2010-12-26 13:41:38 <TD> heh
605 2010-12-26 13:41:57 <lfm> just a random reflection
606 2010-12-26 13:44:07 <sipa> use a time-unit of one second, 110Ghash/s, and difficulty 14484; that means a poisson distribution with lambda=.00176823
607 2010-12-26 13:45:02 <lfm> can you get a standard deviation?
608 2010-12-26 13:45:20 <sipa> that means 1.4% chance for a block that lasts longer than 40 minutes
609 2010-12-26 13:46:08 <lfm> so it should also be 1.4% chance of 2.5 minutes
610 2010-12-26 13:46:20 <sipa> ?
611 2010-12-26 13:46:31 <lfm> no?
612 2010-12-26 13:46:58 <sipa> 23% chance for a block that lasts less than 2.5 minutes
613 2010-12-26 13:47:03 <sipa> it's very assymetric
614 2010-12-26 13:47:29 <lfm> oh ok, satistics are not a strength of mine
615 2010-12-26 13:47:42 <sipa> standard deviation is 9.42 minutes
616 2010-12-26 13:47:52 <sipa> exactly the same as the average :)
617 2010-12-26 13:49:04 <lfm> spozed to be 10 mins but of course it wont be exact in reality
618 2010-12-26 13:49:35 <sipa> the computation speed has increased since the last retarget
619 2010-12-26 13:49:51 <ArtForz> yep
620 2010-12-26 13:49:52 <lfm> and due to ithe total hashes growning not steady
621 2010-12-26 13:50:27 <BoBeR> and now im going to add another 1200 to the world
622 2010-12-26 13:50:35 <sipa> 1200 what?
623 2010-12-26 13:50:41 <TD> nice
624 2010-12-26 13:50:41 <BoBeR> Mhash
625 2010-12-26 13:50:47 <sipa> wow
626 2010-12-26 13:50:50 <BoBeR> K
627 2010-12-26 13:50:53 <BoBeR> thats a typo
628 2010-12-26 13:50:59 <sipa> oh, boo!
629 2010-12-26 13:51:01 <sipa> ;)
630 2010-12-26 13:51:09 <BoBeR> yes i have a personal 1.2Ghash at home
631 2010-12-26 13:51:10 <sipa> it's k, not K, by the way :)
632 2010-12-26 13:51:15 <BoBeR> i rival iwth ArtForz
633 2010-12-26 13:51:20 <BoBeR> its FUCK YOU
634 2010-12-26 13:51:22 <sipa> k!
635 2010-12-26 13:51:23 <BoBeR> im tired
636 2010-12-26 13:51:24 <BoBeR> no sleep
637 2010-12-26 13:51:28 <BoBeR> goaway
638 2010-12-26 13:51:29 <sipa> go to bed :)
639 2010-12-26 13:51:31 <BoBeR> no
640 2010-12-26 13:51:33 <lfm> oh 1200 khash not so impressive im afraid! grin
641 2010-12-26 13:51:33 <BoBeR> its 9 am
642 2010-12-26 13:51:34 <BoBeR> amost
643 2010-12-26 13:51:53 <BoBeR> fine i wont generate
644 2010-12-26 13:52:24 <ArtForz> wow, only about 16x that and you're getting close to my gpu cluster
645 2010-12-26 13:53:02 <sipa> 19Mhash/s ?
646 2010-12-26 13:53:24 <ArtForz> ~20Ghash
647 2010-12-26 13:55:03 <sipa> that's not too impressive either, compared to the speeds of recent gpu's :)
648 2010-12-26 13:55:24 <ArtForz> well, it is kinda impressive for only 24 5970s
649 2010-12-26 13:55:48 <sipa> oh
650 2010-12-26 13:56:00 <sipa> it's *16000 then, not *16 :D
651 2010-12-26 13:56:06 <ArtForz> yep
652 2010-12-26 13:56:24 <sipa> that is impressive :D
653 2010-12-26 13:56:39 <ArtForz> and about as far as I can push it
654 2010-12-26 13:56:46 <sipa> you're able to sell those?
655 2010-12-26 13:57:02 <ArtForz> yup
656 2010-12-26 13:57:17 <sipa> nice
657 2010-12-26 13:57:53 <ArtForz> normally I'm running ~18Gh/s, as I have to push core voltage and power up quite a bit to get those last 10%
658 2010-12-26 13:57:54 <lfm> another hour and the boxing day sale opens, im gonna go get another gpu
659 2010-12-26 13:58:33 <sipa> you expect mining to remain profitable in the foreseeable future?
660 2010-12-26 13:58:38 <ArtForz> yep
661 2010-12-26 13:58:51 <lfm> well depends what you mean by foreseeable
662 2010-12-26 13:59:27 <sipa> total computation speed could be *10 in a few months
663 2010-12-26 13:59:37 <ArtForz> yep
664 2010-12-26 13:59:51 <lfm> a couple months should be fine, a year might be kinda sketchy
665 2010-12-26 14:00:22 <ArtForz> should be fine as long as we dont get a few 100k+ node botnets
666 2010-12-26 14:01:12 <lfm> sipa remember the exchange rate of BTC to whatever factors into profitabiltiy too. the price just went up another notch that last couple days
667 2010-12-26 14:01:39 <sipa> i should reimplement my network speed estimator in C... the perl implementation takes 10 minutes to process the whole block chain :(
668 2010-12-26 14:02:01 <ArtForz> sipa: why are you reprocessing the whole block chain over and over?
669 2010-12-26 14:02:20 <sipa> ArtForz: no, i just have a list of (time,difficulty) pairs, and process those
670 2010-12-26 14:02:58 <sipa> but i restart everytime yes, i could make it incremental as well
671 2010-12-26 14:03:17 <TD> the botnet factor still worries me
672 2010-12-26 14:03:20 <TD> i know the game theory aspect of it
673 2010-12-26 14:03:27 <TD> they should find it more beneficial to mine than defraud
674 2010-12-26 14:03:29 <TD> but .....
675 2010-12-26 14:03:34 <lfm> sipa ya even in C it takes a while to rescan the whole block list
676 2010-12-26 14:03:44 <sipa> it's just 90000 numbers
677 2010-12-26 14:04:23 <ArtForz> yeah, in python I save the important stuff and continue where I left off
678 2010-12-26 14:04:52 <ArtForz> as a full rescan in python takes ~10 sec
679 2010-12-26 14:16:51 <zygf_> TD: there's no shortage of people that like to break things for fun or just to spite people, on the internet in particular

689 2010-12-26 14:31:40 ThomasV has joined
690 2010-12-26 14:33:31 <ThomasV> my bitcoin client seems to be generating a new address everytime I receive coins ; why ?
691 2010-12-26 14:35:02 <TD> it generates new addresses every so often anyway
692 2010-12-26 14:35:09 <TD> the idea is to enhance your privacy
693 2010-12-26 14:35:18 <TD> you don't have to use the new addresses if you don't want to
694 2010-12-26 14:35:32 <ThomasV> yes but I can't delete it
695 2010-12-26 14:35:47 <ThomasV> will the list keep growing indefinitely ?
696 2010-12-26 14:36:21 <TD> i think so. i wouldn't worry about it too much. your specific address doesn't matter that much in bitcoin
697 2010-12-26 14:37:09 <ThomasV> how many addresses do you have in your wallet ?
698 2010-12-26 14:37:59 <TD> me personally? not that many. i haven't been using bitcoin for very long
699 2010-12-26 14:38:38 <ThomasV> are you saying that it removes some of them if you don't use it ?
700 2010-12-26 14:39:08 <TD> i don't think it removes addresses from your address book currently. i guess it could remove ones that were never used to receive coins
701 2010-12-26 14:39:14 <TD> does it bother you?
702 2010-12-26 14:39:22 <ThomasV> yes it does
703 2010-12-26 14:39:56 <TD> the reason it generates new addresses is that all transactions in bitcoin are public
704 2010-12-26 14:40:08 <TD> however addresses are just big effectively random numbers
705 2010-12-26 14:40:27 <TD> so ensuring addresses churn regularly is one way to make it harder to trace peoples economic activity
706 2010-12-26 14:40:51 <TD> you could write a patch and send it to satoshi to improve address book management i guess
707 2010-12-26 14:40:57 <ThomasV> I thought that was the reason why it generates new keys ; but here these are adresses that are visible in the client
708 2010-12-26 14:41:19 <TD> addresses are tied to your keys
709 2010-12-26 14:41:24 <ThomasV> well I am already trying to patch it so that it stops generating keys
710 2010-12-26 14:41:26 <TD> addresses are hashes of public keys
711 2010-12-26 14:42:02 <ThomasV> yes, but you have less adresses than keys afaict
712 2010-12-26 14:42:13 <ThomasV> I already knew about keys generation
713 2010-12-26 14:42:20 <TD> there is a pool of keys that have been generated but are not yet visible in the ui
714 2010-12-26 14:42:21 <sipa> some keys are marked unused but pre-generated
715 2010-12-26 14:43:03 <TD> this is to make backups useful
716 2010-12-26 14:43:43 <ThomasV> hmm, you men backups of wallet.dat ?
717 2010-12-26 14:43:48 <TD> yeah
718 2010-12-26 14:43:50 <ThomasV> *mean*
719 2010-12-26 14:44:05 sec^nd has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
720 2010-12-26 14:44:27 <ThomasV> you need to backup after each transcaction anyway, since it keeps generating keys
721 2010-12-26 14:44:51 <sipa> no
722 2010-12-26 14:44:58 <ThomasV> no ?
723 2010-12-26 14:44:59 <sipa> no need a backup every 100 transactions
724 2010-12-26 14:45:02 <TD> the keys that appear in the ui are taken from this pool
725 2010-12-26 14:45:05 <TD> that's why it exists
726 2010-12-26 14:45:10 RichardG has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
727 2010-12-26 14:45:11 <sipa> since the wallet already contains keys that will be used in the future
728 2010-12-26 14:45:27 <ThomasV> hmm I was told the opposite
729 2010-12-26 14:45:27 <sipa> s/no/you/
730 2010-12-26 14:45:27 RichardG has joined
731 2010-12-26 14:45:40 <ThomasV> oh ok
732 2010-12-26 14:45:43 <ThomasV> :-)
733 2010-12-26 14:46:19 <ThomasV> does it warn you when you need to refresh your backup ?
734 2010-12-26 14:46:28 <wumpus> it cannot automatically remove addresses, because the client doesn't know whether someone will send coins to them in the future
735 2010-12-26 14:46:47 <wumpus> and if you delete an address the coins going to it will disappear forever
736 2010-12-26 14:47:26 <TD> i think he meant delete from the UI
737 2010-12-26 14:47:32 <TD> not actually from the wallet itself
738 2010-12-26 14:47:34 <wumpus> that's be possible, delete as in 'hide'
739 2010-12-26 14:47:46 <TD> this seems like wanting to keep the address book "clean" :-)
740 2010-12-26 14:47:49 <ThomasV> well, I meant both
741 2010-12-26 14:48:28 <wumpus> hiding them is a pretty good idea
742 2010-12-26 14:48:45 <wumpus> the user interface could be much more friendly
743 2010-12-26 14:49:03 <ThomasV> above all, I would like to be able to make a permanent backup of my wallet, by using a limited number of keys ; that would be at the expenses of privacy
744 2010-12-26 14:49:14 <wumpus> then again, as there are hardly any 'users' developer friendly is that's aimed at right now
745 2010-12-26 14:49:40 <TD> yes, well that makes more sense ..... not having to back up all the time.
746 2010-12-26 14:49:47 <wumpus> yes, splitting the wallet functionality
747 2010-12-26 14:50:03 <TD> you can just pick one of the addresses and say, that's my permanent address now
748 2010-12-26 14:50:17 <TD> though i suspect the client doesn't handle old wallet backups well
749 2010-12-26 14:50:21 <wumpus> theoretically you could move addresses (with the coins associated with them) to a backup and remove them
750 2010-12-26 14:50:34 <TD> as the wallet stores more than just your keys .... also transactions. it'd have to regenerate them from the block chain, not sure if it does that today
751 2010-12-26 14:51:31 <ThomasV> what do you mean, it stores transaction ?
752 2010-12-26 14:51:33 sec^nd has joined
753 2010-12-26 14:51:58 <wumpus> but with bitcoin it's probably better to get used to now having a 'permanent address', it's different than normal banking in many ways
754 2010-12-26 14:52:07 <wumpus> now=not
755 2010-12-26 14:52:27 <TD> ThomasV: so it knows what coins you own. that data can be rebuilt from the block chain but for efficiency i think it's cached in your wallet
756 2010-12-26 14:52:57 <ThomasV> wumpus : I do have a ssh private key that is permanent ; and that is safe
757 2010-12-26 14:52:59 <wumpus> yep, the autorative source is always the block chain, but things are cached for performance
758 2010-12-26 14:53:25 <wumpus> ThomasV: ssh is different, it is encrypted and only two parties have to communicate
759 2010-12-26 14:53:51 <wumpus> ThomasV: with bitcoin everything is public as everyone needs to be able to verify your transactions, so the keys are 'in the open'
760 2010-12-26 14:54:52 larsig has quit (Read error: Connection timed out)
761 2010-12-26 14:54:55 <wumpus> ThomasV: then again, you can always use the same address... no one will stop you
762 2010-12-26 14:56:18 <ThomasV> if I could use a limited set of keys, then it would be possible to print them out, and to put them in a safe. right now I cannot do that because the list will eventually be deprecated
763 2010-12-26 14:56:49 <ThomasV> and I do not feel comfortable with all my money relying on computer backups
764 2010-12-26 14:56:53 <TD> you can use a limited set of keys
765 2010-12-26 14:57:03 <TD> just pick an address and make it your own. you don't have to use the address book then
766 2010-12-26 14:57:05 <wumpus> yes, sites do that already, they keep one address per 'client' where they can send coins, to distinguish them
767 2010-12-26 14:57:22 <sipa> you could print a base64 version of wallet.dat
768 2010-12-26 14:57:29 <sipa> but i understand your concern
769 2010-12-26 14:57:54 <wumpus> yeah I think satoshi is working on recycling old keys for that purpose
770 2010-12-26 14:57:54 <sipa> it would be nice to be able to see and manager the keys themselves in human-readable form
771 2010-12-26 14:58:13 <ThomasV> sipa, yes that too
772 2010-12-26 14:58:15 <wumpus> just generate a huge number of keys and re-use those for ever
773 2010-12-26 14:58:58 <ThomasV> is satoshi still active on the project ?
774 2010-12-26 14:59:09 <wumpus> yes
775 2010-12-26 15:00:51 <ThomasV> does he use this channel ?
776 2010-12-26 15:01:01 <wumpus> afaik he doesn't use irc
777 2010-12-26 15:01:10 <wumpus> he does post on the forums sometimes

796 2010-12-26 15:33:50 <DjeZAeL> but there is no file bitcoin.exe because it's an archive designed for linux
797 2010-12-26 15:34:11 <nathan7> Yes, but it seems a tad obvious to me that you should just run that in that case

816 2010-12-26 15:39:06 <DjeZAeL> i don't know how to make a patch
817 2010-12-26 15:39:24 <DjeZAeL> and it seems useless to make a patch just for changing ONE sentence :/
818 2010-12-26 15:39:35 <wumpus> it's a good thing to learn though
819 2010-12-26 15:40:06 <DjeZAeL> so now you're aware of the problem, maybe you could make the patch wumpus ?

823 2010-12-26 15:59:47 <wumpus> DjeZAeL: mm for 10 bitcoins?
824 2010-12-26 16:19:19 <DjeZAeL> i have no bitcoin for the moment
825 2010-12-26 16:19:28 <DjeZAeL> i started to generate today !
826 2010-12-26 16:19:50 <Kiba> DjeZAeL: pool mining?
827 2010-12-26 16:20:13 <DjeZAeL> pool mining ?
828 2010-12-26 16:20:25 <DjeZAeL> sorry but i'm french and new to bitcoin
829 2010-12-26 16:20:39 <DjeZAeL> so i unederstand only few things :/
830 2010-12-26 16:20:52 <Kiba> http://mining.bitcoin.cz/
831 2010-12-26 16:21:25 <sipa> i've already made 16 bitcoin through that pool
832 2010-12-26 16:21:31 <sipa> i wouldn't have anything without :)
833 2010-12-26 16:30:27 <DjeZAeL> how can we know when our computer have generated bitcoins ?
834 2010-12-26 16:30:50 <sipa> i modified m0mchil's client to dump found solutions and their quality
835 2010-12-26 16:30:57 <sipa> s/client/miner/
836 2010-12-26 16:31:30 <sipa> if you're not using a pool, you will know by seeing the balance increase +50 :)
837 2010-12-26 16:31:36 <DjeZAeL> ok
838 2010-12-26 16:31:56 <DjeZAeL> and the number of blocks is the work already done ?
839 2010-12-26 16:32:39 <sipa> hmm?
840 2010-12-26 16:32:57 <sipa> DjeZAeL: i suggest you read a bit first
841 2010-12-26 16:33:04 <DjeZAeL> the block number, displayed at the top of bitvoin vlient
842 2010-12-26 16:33:11 <DjeZAeL> bitcoin* cliet*
843 2010-12-26 16:33:22 <DjeZAeL> client*
844 2010-12-26 16:33:36 <sipa> that's the total number of blocks in the block chain
845 2010-12-26 16:33:55 <sipa> a block is generated approximate every 10 minute
846 2010-12-26 16:34:04 <sipa> so it's very hard to find one
847 2010-12-26 16:34:13 <DjeZAeL> ok
848 2010-12-26 16:34:20 <sipa> you can try to join in the effort of finding the next one
849 2010-12-26 16:34:35 <sipa> either on yourself, in which case you gain the full 50BTC yourself
850 2010-12-26 16:34:52 <sipa> or by joining a pool, which distributes the gains over all who contributed
851 2010-12-26 16:37:52 <DjeZAeL> do several pool mining exist ?
852 2010-12-26 16:38:12 <sipa> i've heard about two
853 2010-12-26 16:38:32 <DjeZAeL> is there a list somewhere ?
854 2010-12-26 16:42:51 <DjeZAeL> seems not

858 2010-12-26 16:48:07 <devon_hillard> how do bitcoin miners know not to pick already searched block sections?
859 2010-12-26 16:48:45 <devon_hillard> and how do you verify that a certain section has beed determined not to contain a valid hash?
860 2010-12-26 16:49:03 <sipa> are you talking about the client itself, or pools?
861 2010-12-26 16:49:18 <devon_hillard> sipa: both, actually
862 2010-12-26 16:49:53 <devon_hillard> say, miners may not report valid hashes
863 2010-12-26 16:50:28 <sipa> well, the data that is hashed contains 1) a timestamp 2) and 3) a hash of transactions; included in that list of transactions is (amongst others) a) the address the generated coins go to, and b) another nonce
864 2010-12-26 16:50:31 <devon_hillard> or is there a system where the "pool" is allocated to everyone at once, then a new pool comes active?
865 2010-12-26 16:51:41 <devon_hillard> so if you have several miner clients active, you could split up the search pool to search it more effectively
866 2010-12-26 16:51:44 <sipa> oh, 2) should be 2) a nonce
867 2010-12-26 16:51:57 <sipa> devon_hillard: that's exactly what pools do
868 2010-12-26 16:52:20 <sipa> but there is no need to search sections exhaustively
869 2010-12-26 16:52:34 <sipa> they expire as soon as the timestamp is updated or new transactions are added anyway
870 2010-12-26 16:52:49 <devon_hillard> not exhaustively, but to prevent search duplication by clients running in parallel
871 2010-12-26 16:53:05 <sipa> giving them work based on a different nonce
872 2010-12-26 17:08:50 <cosurgi> ;;bc,target

880 2010-12-26 17:10:21 <cosurgi> 11 zeros, that would be 44 bits, right?
881 2010-12-26 17:11:20 <sipa> yes, and followed by a 4, that means 46 zero bits
882 2010-12-26 17:11:36 <cosurgi> umm... and hexadecimal '4', which is.... one more zero bit.
883 2010-12-26 17:11:43 <sipa> two
884 2010-12-26 17:12:23 <cosurgi> hmm. you are adding one 'safety' bit?
885 2010-12-26 17:12:36 <sipa> no, i'm just wrong :)
886 2010-12-26 17:12:40 <cosurgi> ok :)
887 2010-12-26 17:12:46 <cosurgi> so the target is 45 bits, am I crrect?
888 2010-12-26 17:12:51 <sipa> or, you could look at the difficulty, 14484.16236123, which is over 2^13, and add 32
889 2010-12-26 17:12:54 <sipa> indeed, 45
890 2010-12-26 17:13:14 <cosurgi> thanks :)
891 2010-12-26 17:15:17 <cosurgi> it's quite confusing that in getwork, the work.target is in little endian.
892 2010-12-26 17:15:36 <cosurgi> I must convert that stuff, and I'm still not sure if it's correct.
893 2010-12-26 17:15:50 <sipa> it's a mess
894 2010-12-26 17:16:14 <sipa> i found out through trial-and-error

898 2010-12-26 17:37:52 <sec^nd> what happens if I send bitcoins to an address that does not exists ?
899 2010-12-26 17:38:10 <sipa> they're lost
900 2010-12-26 17:38:27 <sec^nd> -.-
901 2010-12-26 17:38:29 <sipa> but addresses contain some error detection
902 2010-12-26 17:38:43 <sec^nd> sipa: so there isn't a way to recover bitcoins ?
903 2010-12-26 17:38:48 <sipa> no
904 2010-12-26 17:38:55 <sipa> transactions are irreversible
905 2010-12-26 17:39:07 <sec^nd> well I sent them to an old address to which I dont use anymore / lost / deleted the empty wallet etc (formated system)
906 2010-12-26 17:39:20 <sec^nd> well thats not reliable
907 2010-12-26 17:39:28 * sec^nd found a bug in bitcoin
908 2010-12-26 17:39:35 <sipa> no, it is a design decision
909 2010-12-26 17:39:36 <sec^nd> no error correction
910 2010-12-26 17:39:42 <sec^nd> where are the devs to point this out to ?
911 2010-12-26 17:39:48 <sec^nd> bad decision imo
912 2010-12-26 17:40:00 <[Noodles]> not a bug, a feature
913 2010-12-26 17:40:04 <sipa> the alternative is that there be a way to verify if an address exists
914 2010-12-26 17:40:18 <sipa> that would require a significant loss in privacy or performance
915 2010-12-26 17:40:51 <sec^nd> so if that happens to often then alot of bitcoins can end up in the black hole
916 2010-12-26 17:41:04 <sipa> yes
917 2010-12-26 17:41:25 <sipa> that probably already happened
918 2010-12-26 17:41:35 <sipa> but it's not really a problem
919 2010-12-26 17:42:23 <sec^nd> well if bitcoin has a set number of bitcoins eventually the black hole will consume them all
920 2010-12-26 17:42:37 <sipa> no
921 2010-12-26 17:42:42 <[Noodles]> if people don't care about their coins
922 2010-12-26 17:42:53 <sipa> if the set of available coins shrink
923 2010-12-26 17:42:57 <sipa> their values goes up
924 2010-12-26 17:43:05 <sec^nd> accidents happen
925 2010-12-26 17:43:13 <sipa> and people will start (slowly) dealing with smaller and smaller fractions of bitcoins
926 2010-12-26 17:43:18 <sec^nd> well how do you know how many are availble ?
927 2010-12-26 17:43:24 <sipa> not
928 2010-12-26 17:43:37 <sipa> it's just the economy that will cause this
929 2010-12-26 17:43:46 <sipa> indirectly, and slowly
930 2010-12-26 17:44:08 <sipa> but thus also the amounts which will be losts through (inevitable) accidents, will decrease
931 2010-12-26 17:44:20 <sipa> you can burn dollars too :)
932 2010-12-26 17:44:58 <[Noodles]> or send them to my address, i'll burn them for you
933 2010-12-26 17:44:59 <sec^nd> but they make dollars really fast
934 2010-12-26 17:45:07 <sec^nd> bitcoins take time to generate
935 2010-12-26 17:45:11 <sipa> yes
936 2010-12-26 17:45:21 <sipa> that's their strength
937 2010-12-26 17:45:28 <sipa> they have a very well defined scarceness
938 2010-12-26 17:46:52 <sec^nd> if its scarce then there aren't that many
939 2010-12-26 17:46:52 <sec^nd> ...
940 2010-12-26 17:47:02 <sec^nd> so what happens when there aren't enough to go around ?
941 2010-12-26 17:47:20 <[Noodles]> the the price will be incredible high and we're all rich
942 2010-12-26 17:47:26 <[Noodles]> *then
943 2010-12-26 17:47:28 <sipa> why do you assume a particular amount is necessary?
944 2010-12-26 17:47:42 <sipa> there could be as well be just 1 BTC in total
945 2010-12-26 17:47:50 <sipa> but its value would be a lot higher
