40 2011-01-12 02:14:13 <kartofeln> oooh
41 2011-01-12 02:14:35 <kartofeln> so whoever gets to generate a block also gets all the fees associated with any transaction attached to that block?
42 2011-01-12 02:14:58 <tcatm> yep
43 2011-01-12 02:17:42 <kartofeln> so does it also mean that whoever generates a block gets to pick which transactions go into that block?

48 2011-01-12 02:19:24 <midnightmagic> i wonder who that is selling 20000 btc for $0.51
49 2011-01-12 02:20:28 AAA_awright_ is now known as AAA_awright
50 2011-01-12 02:20:45 <beetlejooce> lol?
51 2011-01-12 02:24:22 <noagendamarket> midnightmagic they probably want to catch a price spike
52 2011-01-12 02:24:55 <midnightmagic> hilarious. good for them, way to make the rest of the market look like peanuts.
53 2011-01-12 02:25:10 <noagendamarket> or they had them there from the last time it hit that price
54 2011-01-12 02:25:27 <midnightmagic> but i think they are doing it perhaps to see what sorts of regulations might auto-trigger for the transfer of that much.
55 2011-01-12 02:25:40 <noagendamarket> regulations?
56 2011-01-12 02:25:41 <midnightmagic> or they had them from slow, careful buy-ups of younger btc.
57 2011-01-12 02:25:47 <kartofeln> oh yeah. right above 10 grands..
58 2011-01-12 02:26:00 <noagendamarket> ah....
59 2011-01-12 02:26:15 <midnightmagic> yeah, usually >$10k transfers of cash/money/etc have to be reported to money-laundering authorities in.. i think their current HQ is in texas.
60 2011-01-12 02:26:25 <noagendamarket> hmm that is ri8ght
61 2011-01-12 02:26:52 <noagendamarket> also if you have so much in one day or something
62 2011-01-12 02:26:58 <midnightmagic> should be an exciting development. perhaps they can avoid it unless there's just one buyer.
63 2011-01-12 02:26:59 <noagendamarket> is that right?
64 2011-01-12 02:27:32 <noagendamarket> how are they going to find who bought them if its heaps of people lol
65 2011-01-12 02:27:37 <midnightmagic> don't remember. my wife used to work as a bank teller and could probably explain to me.
66 2011-01-12 02:28:25 <midnightmagic> well, how would they find them at all, except if mtgox is keeping transfer records. if it's one purchase order, then maybe trackable. i wonder if mtgox would tell us if he got subpoena'd.

93 2011-01-12 04:23:37 <kiba> me have no camera
94 2011-01-12 04:24:01 <xelister> people at first say like "wtf man??" but then they realize this is more sane the CPU mining, and also more green/eco XD
95 2011-01-12 04:24:37 * xelister updates it to note it is about CPU mining that is useless waste of time; not overall pooled mining per say
96 2011-01-12 04:26:20 <nanotube> and you might also want to update it with s/useful/other useless but more profitable/ :P
97 2011-01-12 04:27:07 <nanotube> also, since one can get 1btc over the course of 3-4 weeks even with a 1-core cpu miner... your .0x btc offer isn't that attractive.
98 2011-01-12 04:27:29 <xelister> nanotube: what CPU gives 1 btc over 1 month
99 2011-01-12 04:27:50 <nanotube> i was mining on one 2.0ghz xeon in the pool for about 3 weeks, got 1 btc.
100 2011-01-12 04:27:56 <nanotube> at about 750khps
101 2011-01-12 04:27:57 <xelister> also, pic takes 2 minutes instead of say dicking around to set up miner
102 2011-01-12 04:28:07 <xelister> plus - elcectricity bill :) or rather, minus
103 2011-01-12 04:28:18 <nanotube> (well i was doing it on a vps)
104 2011-01-12 04:28:26 <nanotube> (so no elec bill)
105 2011-01-12 04:28:35 <xelister> you could run there freenet node and get more
106 2011-01-12 04:28:44 <nanotube> too much ram
107 2011-01-12 04:29:15 <nanotube> but anyway, i'm just messing with ya. if you get any takers, good for you. :)
108 2011-01-12 04:29:45 <xelister> 500 mb is sufficient
109 2011-01-12 04:29:50 <xelister> well, or just run i2p "because" :)
110 2011-01-12 04:29:59 <xelister> although in fact that leaves free cpu probably
111 2011-01-12 04:30:12 <xelister> nanotube: someones are getting it working with

118 2011-01-12 04:40:09 <newsham> xelister: how much BTC to make you stop making that offer on this channel?
119 2011-01-12 04:40:20 <xelister> newsham: 1
120 2011-01-12 04:40:44 <newsham> if i give you 1.00BTC you will never make that offer on this chanel again?
121 2011-01-12 04:40:49 <xelister> yes
122 2011-01-12 04:41:55 <tcatm> I read a lot of code. Problem is, I discover new coding techniques while reading code and start to refactor, discover something new, refactor again.
123 2011-01-12 04:42:08 <newsham> code golf

128 2011-01-12 04:42:58 <tcatm> newsham: I use whatever language works best. Currently that's javascript.
129 2011-01-12 04:43:29 <xelister> javascript for what task?
130 2011-01-12 04:43:34 <tcatm> js-remote
131 2011-01-12 04:43:42 <newsham> tcatm: thats good and fine, but if you really want to play code golf... you should be using haskell :)
132 2011-01-12 04:44:01 <newsham> then you could literally keep rewriting the same line of code for years, always approaching perfection

141 2011-01-12 04:45:25 <newsham> racketeering is good for tennis
142 2011-01-12 04:45:30 <xelister> this is an actually payable offer, newsham
143 2011-01-12 04:45:31 <newsham> :)

145 2011-01-12 04:45:38 <nanotube> newsham: or maybe you'd like to pay me 10 btc ... to avoid getting banned from this channel for... not paying me 10 btc? :D
146 2011-01-12 04:45:52 <newsham> xelister: I'm considering it (the 1btc).. nfortnately i'm not in front of my wallet right now so you dont get the impulse buy
147 2011-01-12 04:46:17 <newsham> nanotube: now you're thinking! unfort I dont have 10btc and dont value this channel THAT much! ;-)
148 2011-01-12 04:46:33 <xelister> better invest 30 btc in VPNs
149 2011-01-12 04:47:09 <nanotube> hehe well, you value it enough to offer xelister 1 btc to reduce spam... :) so maybe if i lower my offer to 1 btc, i'll be sure to be below your reservation price. :D
150 2011-01-12 04:49:20 <nanotube> xelister: btw, i /am/ running an i2p node on the vps. :)
151 2011-01-12 04:49:52 <tcatm> I want to use ? in variable names :/

153 2011-01-12 04:52:27 <newsham> does your lang support unicode? any questionmark-like chars that you can use in vars?

155 2011-01-12 04:53:35 <nanotube> or more to the point... why do you want question marks in variable names. :)
156 2011-01-12 04:54:27 <tcatm> passing boolean vars to functions
157 2011-01-12 04:54:54 <xelister> nanotube: cheers. Is there i2p<->fn yet?
158 2011-01-12 04:55:02 <nanotube> xelister: yes, on #bitcoin-discussion
159 2011-01-12 04:55:09 <nanotube> that is, in fact, the very reason i'm running i2p :)
160 2011-01-12 04:55:12 <xelister> erm. bitcoin <-> i2
161 2011-01-12 04:55:14 <xelister> erm. bitcoin <-> i2p
162 2011-01-12 04:55:24 <nanotube> ah... they're working on it.
163 2011-01-12 04:55:37 <kartofeln> random Q in case someone knows: why is my GPU clock slowing down from 850 to 400 Mhz when a video is playing, and how would one go about forcing it back up to a happy frequency?
164 2011-01-12 04:55:50 <tcatm> kartofeln: better cooling?
165 2011-01-12 04:57:02 <xelister> what, 50% slowdown? strange. ask #hardware
166 2011-01-12 04:57:04 <kartofeln> well, the temperature is certainly colder.. without video playing, mining full blast, the GPU heats up to 76 C, while now it's capped at 52 C..
167 2011-01-12 04:57:06 <xelister> or ArtForz ;)
168 2011-01-12 04:57:32 <tcatm> kartofeln: so it slows down while mining and playing video?
169 2011-01-12 04:57:38 <kartofeln> while playing video yes.
170 2011-01-12 04:57:46 <tcatm> without mining?
171 2011-01-12 04:57:47 <kartofeln> effective mining throughput drops to 40% of optimal.
172 2011-01-12 04:57:59 <kartofeln> with or without. the clock stays at 400 Mhz while video plays.
173 2011-01-12 04:58:07 <tcatm> maybe some powersave feature
174 2011-01-12 04:58:18 <kartofeln> and usually goes back up to 850 once it stops. I had to kill the video playing process occasionally to make it happen.,
175 2011-01-12 04:58:27 <nanotube> kartofeln: well, clearly, the solution to maximize your mining output is to play less video. :)
176 2011-01-12 04:58:32 * tcatm loves testnet
177 2011-01-12 04:58:32 <kartofeln> :'(
178 2011-01-12 04:58:35 <newsham> would they want to lower the gpu perf to make it quieter?
179 2011-01-12 04:58:49 <newsham> (does it have a loud fan?)
180 2011-01-12 04:59:02 <kartofeln> the fan is a bit loudish, yes.
181 2011-01-12 04:59:18 <newsham> just a random guess
182 2011-01-12 05:00:03 <kartofeln> interestingly, MSI Afterburner isn't able to change the frequency back manually either.
183 2011-01-12 05:00:06 <kartofeln> I just seem to have no control over this.

187 2011-01-12 05:08:07 <joe_1> isn't there only 1 main i2p developer anymore
188 2011-01-12 05:08:36 <kartofeln> ok, I can narrow it to H264 videos, that apparently have GPU accelerated playback in the flash player.

219 2011-01-12 07:02:03 <newsham> mining on testnet is much more profitable
220 2011-01-12 07:02:25 <newsham> whats the tnbtc to btc conversion?
221 2011-01-12 07:03:09 <lfm> well whats the value of testnet btc?
222 2011-01-12 07:03:22 <newsham> thats what i just said
223 2011-01-12 07:03:39 <lfm> i dont think there actaually is a market for testnet btc
224 2011-01-12 07:04:19 <newsham> who has the most tnbtc when he dies wins
225 2011-01-12 07:04:31 <lfm> like you cant really convert them
226 2011-01-12 07:05:04 <lfm> ie they arnt worth anything
227 2011-01-12 07:05:18 <newsham> says you
228 2011-01-12 07:05:26 <lfm> so testnet isnt really profitable
229 2011-01-12 07:05:42 <newsham> just cause its not liquid today..
230 2011-01-12 07:05:54 <nanotube> also too easily subvertible, with not much cpu power behind it.
231 2011-01-12 07:06:13 <sgornick> Buying 100,000 TNBTC for 1 BTC. There. ,... now all I need is a willing seller and we have a market.
232 2011-01-12 07:06:45 <lfm> also testnet is run with the warning that it can be rebooted and throws away the current block chain
233 2011-01-12 07:07:28 <nanotube> i'll also buy 100k tnbtc for 1 btc. looks like we have the beginnings of an exchange here. haha
234 2011-01-12 07:08:05 <newsham> whats the current tn difficulty?

248 2011-01-12 07:12:07 <lfm> jeez, thats great, you should start a pool!
249 2011-01-12 07:15:17 <newsham> no pool required
250 2011-01-12 07:15:39 <newsham> so 2hrs per 50tnbc at 7Mhps?
251 2011-01-12 07:15:50 <newsham> still take a while for 100k tnbtc
252 2011-01-12 07:16:33 <lfm> it would take a while even at 10 min per 50btc\

333 2011-01-12 10:51:59 <sipa> who's bruce?
334 2011-01-12 10:53:37 <joe_1> he's a guy who lives in new york city and he posts on the forum but doesn't come on irc. he has a lot of energy and he has given several interviews to radio stations about bitcoins, and most recently he gotten a point-of-sale company to agree to put bitcoin in their software, so we'll be able to pay with bitcoins at restaurants
335 2011-01-12 10:54:11 <sipa> oh yes, i read about that
336 2011-01-12 10:54:54 <reQunix> Has there been any traction on versioning the protocol instead of the client? Haven't checked the forums much recently?
337 2011-01-12 10:55:47 <joe_1> i havent been dialed into that i don't know. i was under the understanding that the protocol is not going to change any more.
338 2011-01-12 10:56:38 <joe_1> are you talking about the bruce wagner stuff or the bitcoin client and protocol in general?
339 2011-01-12 10:56:55 <reQunix> No, just in general.
340 2011-01-12 10:56:59 <joe_1> ok
341 2011-01-12 10:57:26 <reQunix> I've been tempted to do a cross-platform Ruby implementation for sites to process payments.
342 2011-01-12 10:58:09 <reQunix> I've got one in the works, but it relies on the regular client running in the background.
343 2011-01-12 10:58:55 <joe_1> does it just hold people's money and let them send it to other users then they can withdraw it back out? or does it link in with other currencies like liberty reserve?

345 2011-01-12 10:59:15 <reQunix> No, it just deals with Bitcoin.
346 2011-01-12 10:59:19 <joe_1> ok
347 2011-01-12 10:59:35 <reQunix> It just simplifies interfacing with the client atm
348 2011-01-12 10:59:53 <joe_1> so, what we're trying to do is allow there to be many different large payment processors to connect to each other in a network
349 2011-01-12 11:00:00 <reQunix> So you would make a call to it saying you want to receive a payment and it will give you an address on an account etc.
350 2011-01-12 11:00:35 <reQunix> So, like getting payment gateways on-board with processing Bitcoin as well
351 2011-01-12 11:02:02 akem has joined
352 2011-01-12 11:02:39 <joe_1> it would bring all of these different sites together-- mybitcoin, mtgox, the site you're creating now,

354 2011-01-12 11:03:12 <joe_1> they would operate how they do now, but they would have the option of sending coins to users on other sites, and also receiving coins from users on other sites
355 2011-01-12 11:05:01 sgornick has joined
356 2011-01-12 11:06:53 <reQunix> That makes sense. What I'm working on isn't a site, it's reusable code that people can use when creating sites (most likely stores)
357 2011-01-12 11:07:07 <joe_1> oh ok
358 2011-01-12 11:07:40 <reQunix> Makes it easier for people creating less standard sites
359 2011-01-12 11:08:20 <joe_1> what language is it written in
360 2011-01-12 11:08:37 <reQunix> But in evaluating the benefits over what I've currently got, it's not quite worth it yet.
361 2011-01-12 11:08:39 <reQunix> Ruby
362 2011-01-12 11:09:07 <eureka^> i thought you were trying to make it easier?

364 2011-01-12 11:09:35 <reQunix> Hehe, trust me, that is easier ;)
365 2011-01-12 11:10:44 <joe_1> well have you gotten far enough where the ruby stuff is talking to the json stuff
366 2011-01-12 11:11:39 <reQunix> Yeah, but I'm cheating. :)

371 2011-01-12 11:13:45 <reQunix> Yip, you can call most commands from the CLI if you have the client running with --server
372 2011-01-12 11:13:57 <joe_1> cool
373 2011-01-12 11:14:11 <reQunix> So I get almost everything for free

382 2011-01-12 11:17:03 <reQunix> But for certain types of sites one would want tighter control over how funds are moved around

391 2011-01-12 11:20:16 <eureka^> i'd like to hope that

399 2011-01-12 11:22:57 <joe_1> you will be worth at least 2 million usd

404 2011-01-12 11:24:20 <joe_1> oh
405 2011-01-12 11:24:35 <reQunix> Living standards where I live is comparable, in fact probably exceeding, somewhere like New York
406 2011-01-12 11:24:45 <joe_1> wow thats good
407 2011-01-12 11:25:08 <reQunix> But that's obviously not true for most of Africa
408 2011-01-12 11:25:32 <devon_hillard> "An infinite, ordered set of monkeys each pressing exactly one key on a typewriter would produce the entire works of Shakespeare for at least a connected subset of monkeys."
409 2011-01-12 11:26:05 <da2ce7> lol
410 2011-01-12 11:26:07 <devon_hillard> the lesser infinite monkey theorem
411 2011-01-12 11:27:33 <joe_1> would there be an infinite subset
412 2011-01-12 11:27:52 <devon_hillard> a finite subset
413 2011-01-12 11:28:31 <devon_hillard> because the number of monkeys would be equal to the number of characters

449 2011-01-12 14:21:05 <slush> (better than stock cooler)
450 2011-01-12 14:21:19 <ArtForzZz> no
451 2011-01-12 14:21:25 <slush> I think so
452 2011-01-12 14:21:44 <ArtForzZz> core temps are lower, but VRM temps for GPU2 are WAY higher than stock
453 2011-01-12 14:22:25 <slush> thanks
454 2011-01-12 14:22:48 <ArtForzZz> oh, and don't fully tighten the screws holding the main cooler plate, or you'll fry your DVI outputs
455 2011-01-12 14:23:05 <slush> :)
456 2011-01-12 14:23:46 <ArtForzZz> the standoffs are ~1.5mm too short, so if you fully tighten the screws you badly bend the PCB and short out some caps
457 2011-01-12 14:23:55 <ArtForzZz> community found that out after about a dozen people fried their cards
458 2011-01-12 14:24:08 <ArtForzZz> ACs response "sucks to be an early adopter, eh?"
459 2011-01-12 14:25:16 <ArtForzZz> and they silently changed the mounting manual from "fully tighten those screws" to "50% tighten those screws" ... WTF?
460 2011-01-12 14:26:21 <omglolbbq1> artforz you're running 5870's?
461 2011-01-12 14:26:27 <slush> lol
462 2011-01-12 14:26:31 <Diablo-D3> btw
463 2011-01-12 14:26:38 <Diablo-D3> we shouldnt be really chasing after 5970s anymore
464 2011-01-12 14:26:42 <Diablo-D3> the stock is getting too low
465 2011-01-12 14:26:46 <Diablo-D3> and this is going to fuck people
466 2011-01-12 14:26:55 <Diablo-D3> omglolbbq1: its a driver bug. seriously.
467 2011-01-12 14:27:14 <omglolbbq1> diablo, what can i do about it, i'm runnning latest version
468 2011-01-12 14:27:22 <Diablo-D3> nothing
469 2011-01-12 14:27:25 <Diablo-D3> absolutely nothing
470 2011-01-12 14:27:33 <ArtForzZz> 5970s mainly
471 2011-01-12 14:27:45 <slush> Diablo-D3: > the stock is getting too low ??
472 2011-01-12 14:27:57 <Diablo-D3> third party parts and shit
473 2011-01-12 14:28:02 <Diablo-D3> 5970 stuff is special order
474 2011-01-12 14:28:14 <Diablo-D3> its not like the single gpu stuff
475 2011-01-12 14:28:22 <Diablo-D3> where we've been using the same screw holes for like 4 generations
476 2011-01-12 14:28:36 <ArtForzZz> I guess the AC5970 could work decently if you replace the crappy vrm cooler with a thermalright vrm-r3/r4
477 2011-01-12 14:28:38 <omglolbbq1> my friends bought 5870 for almost 400 euro's, i got a 5850 for 170 euros that runs equaly fast OC'ed at normal voltage and cooler :) might be interresting for your series too
478 2011-01-12 14:28:59 <ArtForzZz> wonder why no one tried that yet
479 2011-01-12 14:29:18 <ArtForzZz> the ass-end VRM section is identical between 5870 and 5970
480 2011-01-12 14:30:41 <ArtForzZz> ... wonder why no one tried that yet
481 2011-01-12 14:32:21 <ArtForzZz> 5870 is bad value really
482 2011-01-12 14:33:00 <ArtForzZz> hacked 6950s are probably a good deal

485 2011-01-12 14:52:40 <UukGoblin> they have like 1400-something cores, don't they?
486 2011-01-12 14:53:14 <ArtForzZz> you can flash em with 6970 BIOS to unlock all shaders
487 2011-01-12 14:53:37 <UukGoblin> ah
488 2011-01-12 14:53:46 <UukGoblin> but they're crappier than 5970s surely?
489 2011-01-12 14:54:01 <UukGoblin> as in slower
490 2011-01-12 14:54:20 <UukGoblin> or am I thinking about a wrong card?
491 2011-01-12 14:59:11 <UukGoblin> yeah 6970 has 1536 cores, 6950 has 1408 and 5870 has 1600 so 5970 has 3200
492 2011-01-12 14:59:36 <UukGoblin> only the clock on 6970 is higher
493 2011-01-12 14:59:56 <ArtForzZz> yep
494 2011-01-12 15:00:06 <ArtForzZz> 6970 and 5870 are roughly equal for mining
495 2011-01-12 15:00:28 <ArtForzZz> within 1% or so
496 2011-01-12 15:00:44 <ArtForzZz> but 6970 is 15-20% faster for 3D
497 2011-01-12 15:01:06 <ArtForzZz> and probably has higher resale value
498 2011-01-12 15:02:02 * UukGoblin nods
499 2011-01-12 15:02:32 <UukGoblin> so does any 6xxx series have dual GPU like 5970?
500 2011-01-12 15:03:15 <ArtForzZz> not yet
501 2011-01-12 15:03:24 <ArtForzZz> 6990 is supposed to mome out february

629 2011-01-12 18:16:23 <sipa> actually it's infinity/20
630 2011-01-12 18:16:27 <nathan7> =p
631 2011-01-12 18:16:34 <ArtForzZz> actually it's 20/0
632 2011-01-12 18:17:04 <sipa> you know the definition of the X/Y rating for vision quality?
633 2011-01-12 18:17:10 <ArtForzZz> yep
634 2011-01-12 18:18:02 <sipa> 20/0 would mean you're able to see from 20 feet away as good as a someone with "perfect vision" is able to see from 0 feet away
635 2011-01-12 18:18:27 <ArtForzZz> yeah
636 2011-01-12 18:18:42 <lfm> shouldnt divide by zero
637 2011-01-12 18:18:48 <sipa> it's not actually a division
638 2011-01-12 18:18:57 <sipa> 10/20 sight is different from 5/10 sight

641 2011-01-12 18:19:40 <lfm> i think its always 20/x
642 2011-01-12 18:20:50 <ArtForzZz> if the crat is 20 feet away, yes
643 2011-01-12 18:20:53 <ArtForzZz> *chart
644 2011-01-12 18:21:21 <lfm> ya and they scale it if its 10 feet away
645 2011-01-12 18:21:35 <ArtForzZz> imo thats bullshit
646 2011-01-12 18:22:23 <ArtForzZz> if the chart is 10 feet away, 10/10 would be nominal vision
647 2011-01-12 18:22:46 <lfm> anything over about 5 feet is focused on infinity for one eye
648 2011-01-12 18:23:14 <ArtForzZz> usually yes
649 2011-01-12 18:23:31 <lfm> so scaling works fine then

657 2011-01-12 18:30:07 <ArtForzZz> around here you need at least 20/30 vision to get a drivers license without a requirement of wearing glasses
658 2011-01-12 18:31:41 <ArtForzZz> they use automated vision testing systems for that (usually)

675 2011-01-12 19:03:35 <Cusipzzz> lol
676 2011-01-12 19:03:40 <sipa> 2010 called
677 2011-01-12 19:03:54 <sipa> they want their BTC/USD exchange rate back
678 2011-01-12 19:04:11 <EvanR-work> lol
679 2011-01-12 19:04:36 <EvanR-work> which was what .1 ?
680 2011-01-12 19:04:42 <kiba> I remember when it reach .5
681 2011-01-12 19:04:49 <lfm> it hit 0.50 once
682 2011-01-12 19:05:06 <sipa> it was around 0.28 or 0.29 at newyear
683 2011-01-12 19:05:12 <kiba> well, our goal for this year is to reach 2 dollars for 1 bitcoin parity
684 2011-01-12 19:05:53 <mizerydearia> Well, considering the value of the us dollar will drop suddenly any moment, us$2 for 1 bitcoin seems fairly liekly
685 2011-01-12 19:06:53 <kiba> our economy is now around 1.8 million USD
686 2011-01-12 19:06:57 <Cusipzzz> it's ^^ kind of myopia that makes it possible.. the coins are held by true believers, thus no real supply.
687 2011-01-12 19:07:44 <Cusipzzz> but i'm ok with that :)
688 2011-01-12 19:07:45 <lfm> yes, all money is an illusion
689 2011-01-12 19:07:57 <sipa> kiba: you think this exchange rate would remain if someone were trying to sell let's say a few million BTC?
690 2011-01-12 19:07:58 <djoot> well, it hit 0.50 MTGUSD when withdrawals from mtgox were temporarily suspended...
691 2011-01-12 19:08:03 <nevezen> coin generation doesn't have anything to do with actual bitcoin transactions right?
692 2011-01-12 19:08:11 <EvanR-work> all that matters is guns and butter
693 2011-01-12 19:08:17 <sipa> nevezen: hardly
694 2011-01-12 19:08:24 <kiba> sipa: you mean like Satoshi?
695 2011-01-12 19:08:26 <sipa> well, it has everything to do with it
696 2011-01-12 19:08:37 <sipa> but for the economy that doesn't matter
697 2011-01-12 19:08:39 <sipa> kiba: yes
698 2011-01-12 19:08:44 <kiba> no
699 2011-01-12 19:08:48 <kiba> it will probably collapse
700 2011-01-12 19:08:52 <nevezen> so if you lose 50 coins because forgot to backup your wallet, it's lost forever?
701 2011-01-12 19:08:57 <sipa> nevezen: yes
702 2011-01-12 19:09:03 <Diablo-D3> yes
703 2011-01-12 19:09:07 <kiba> lost in the ocean, forever
704 2011-01-12 19:09:11 <lfm> navezen yes
705 2011-01-12 19:09:16 <kiba> maybe someday, a lucky bastard will recover it
706 2011-01-12 19:09:19 <sipa> it's locked to the address it was sent to, without any means to transfer it again
707 2011-01-12 19:09:46 <Cusipzzz> maybe that's why satoshi is MIA...had a HD crash, lost 1.5MM coins, jumoed off bridge
708 2011-01-12 19:10:01 <mizerydearia> What indicates satoshi is mia?

724 2011-01-12 19:11:20 <Diablo-D3> nevezen: or use the client's wallet backup command
725 2011-01-12 19:11:35 <Cusipzzz> there never was a satoshi, we had to invent one.
726 2011-01-12 19:11:45 <Diablo-D3> satoshi was really a stand alone complex
727 2011-01-12 19:11:52 <sipa> nevezen: the rest of the files are not important, they can be recreated from the network
728 2011-01-12 19:11:59 <lfm> nevezen did you lose your wallet?
729 2011-01-12 19:12:18 <mizerydearia> Satoshi is still here, in his alternative (or original) persona. ^_^ We must now continue bitcoin developments without his alternative persona 'satoshi' ^_^
730 2011-01-12 19:12:20 <kiba> Satoshi is pretty much an anonymous inventor
731 2011-01-12 19:12:44 <nevezen> yes, I forgot to back up my wallet once
732 2011-01-12 19:12:57 <lfm> satoshi is a distributed entity running on a backdoor in the binaries
733 2011-01-12 19:12:59 <nevezen> but this was when I hardly knew anything about bitcoin
734 2011-01-12 19:13:34 <mizerydearia> lfm: Is there a way to monitor any data transmitted through the bitcoin p2p network relating to the private switch satoshi added?
735 2011-01-12 19:13:40 <lfm> nevezen how much did you lose?
736 2011-01-12 19:13:43 <mizerydearia> I forgot what it is called.
737 2011-01-12 19:13:56 <nevezen> it's negligible lfm, I think. It was only 5 BTC.

766 2011-01-12 19:24:13 <lfm> ya what gpu is that
767 2011-01-12 19:24:14 <nevezen> but it's not a 9600GT. It's a 8800GT :)
768 2011-01-12 19:24:26 <lfm> cool
769 2011-01-12 19:24:27 <nevezen> sipa: then I was right?

771 2011-01-12 19:24:44 <sipa> a 386 or so would do 2kH/s :)
772 2011-01-12 19:24:45 <nevezen> oh that was from cpu. Then I switched to gpu
773 2011-01-12 19:25:13 <nevezen> 2KH/s was from standard bitcoin client
774 2011-01-12 19:25:25 <midnightmagic> very nice. :) my 9600GT is a piece of crap but i used to think it was a strong piece of crap.
775 2011-01-12 19:25:30 <sipa> nevezen: are you sure?
776 2011-01-12 19:25:30 <lfm> nevezen ya the basic bitcoin client/server only mines with the CPU. you need one of the separate miners to fire up the GPU
777 2011-01-12 19:25:34 <nevezen> it was running on an AMD dualcore.. I believe 4000+
778 2011-01-12 19:25:48 <sipa> nevezen: are you sure it's not 2MH/s ?
779 2011-01-12 19:26:14 <nevezen> I'm pretty sure
780 2011-01-12 19:26:33 <lfm> what is your CPU? it is prolly 2mh/s
781 2011-01-12 19:26:41 <sipa> even a cell phone cpu does 140kH/s
782 2011-01-12 19:26:47 <nevezen> It's an AMD64 X2 4000+
783 2011-01-12 19:26:56 <sipa> it's definitely 2000kH/s :)
784 2011-01-12 19:26:57 <nevezen> about 2.1GHz?
785 2011-01-12 19:27:30 <sipa> a pentium 3 does 200kH/s
786 2011-01-12 19:27:39 <brocktice> At this point I don't think NVidia GPUs can turn a profit
787 2011-01-12 19:27:43 <brocktice> unless your power is free
788 2011-01-12 19:27:47 <brocktice> or billed at a flat rate
789 2011-01-12 19:27:55 <midnightmagic> or really cheap (a.k.a. BC hydroelectric is still really cheap)
790 2011-01-12 19:28:01 <nevezen> so is it better to mine in a pool?
791 2011-01-12 19:28:08 <sipa> i would say: yes
792 2011-01-12 19:28:15 <sipa> as long as you trust the pool operator
793 2011-01-12 19:28:18 <brocktice> It's better to just buy at that point IMO
794 2011-01-12 19:28:30 <midnightmagic> you'll get "the same" over time, but instant gratification rather than long-term.
795 2011-01-12 19:28:45 <lfm> actually over the long term it is better to not use a pool but it can be frustrating
796 2011-01-12 19:28:47 <brocktice> especially since the 95% range must be pretty large at that rate
797 2011-01-12 19:28:55 <midnightmagic> what lfm says.
798 2011-01-12 19:29:02 <sipa> lfm: why not?
799 2011-01-12 19:29:38 ApertureScience has quit (Quit: On Disney:)
800 2011-01-12 19:29:44 <lfm> sipa polling adds inevitable overhead, not large but inevitable
801 2011-01-12 19:29:45 <nevezen> I'm going to try m0mchil's client on an nvidia ion
802 2011-01-12 19:29:57 ApertureScience has joined
803 2011-01-12 19:30:01 <nevezen> but I doubt it'll perform better than my desktop's 8800GT
804 2011-01-12 19:30:05 <lfm> pooling
805 2011-01-12 19:30:12 <brocktice> nevezen: your 8800 is doing 25 mhash/s?
806 2011-01-12 19:30:14 <sipa> what overhead?
807 2011-01-12 19:30:29 <nevezen> seems so brocktice
808 2011-01-12 19:30:31 <brocktice> You could have to wait 97 days or even more
809 2011-01-12 19:30:38 <brocktice> http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php
810 2011-01-12 19:30:41 <lfm> nevezen itd be slower but the power draw may make it more effiecient
811 2011-01-12 19:30:46 <sipa> i don't see the difference with running the client yourself, or connecting to the pool's one
812 2011-01-12 19:31:08 <sipa> that is, as long as you trust the pool operator, and assume no vandalism
813 2011-01-12 19:31:09 <brocktice> And let me tell you, even though I get them pretty regularly with my mining hardware, it can really be agonizing once you get into that 95% time frame.
814 2011-01-12 19:31:15 <lfm> sipa the getwork/response over the internet rather than localhost for one thing
815 2011-01-12 19:31:25 <brocktice> I can only imagine waiting another 60+ days after the average time frame
816 2011-01-12 19:31:26 <nevezen> hehe.. that looks awful
817 2011-01-12 19:31:55 <sipa> lfm: that's the same as one additional link in the network, ok true, it's there, but it's very small
818 2011-01-12 19:32:06 <brocktice> IMO unless you are willing to run ATI hardware to mine, just buy the damn things.
819 2011-01-12 19:32:10 <brocktice> I know others will disagree.
820 2011-01-12 19:32:21 <nevezen> does that generation calculator take into account pooled mining?
821 2011-01-12 19:32:25 <brocktice> no
822 2011-01-12 19:32:29 <brocktice> you'll get paid much more frequently
823 2011-01-12 19:32:32 <brocktice> very very small amounts
824 2011-01-12 19:32:39 <nevezen> yeah, small increments
825 2011-01-12 19:32:41 <brocktice> but you won't have the agonizing wait
826 2011-01-12 19:32:46 <brocktice> What's slush's pool at now for hashrate?
827 2011-01-12 19:32:55 <sipa> 14MH/s or so
828 2011-01-12 19:33:02 <brocktice> so for every block
829 2011-01-12 19:33:09 <brocktice> GH/s right?
830 2011-01-12 19:33:14 <sipa> of course
831 2011-01-12 19:33:19 * sipa hides in shame
832 2011-01-12 19:33:19 <lfm> ya, instead of one bulk payment of 50.00 BTC you might get 0.01 every day or two
833 2011-01-12 19:33:25 <sipa> ;;bc,calc 25000
834 2011-01-12 19:33:26 <gribble> The average time to generate a block at 25000 Khps, given current difficulty of 16307.48285682 , is 4 weeks, 4 days, 10 hours, 13 minutes, and 24 seconds
835 2011-01-12 19:33:29 <brocktice> for every block you'd get about 0.09 btc
836 2011-01-12 19:33:39 <sipa> so you'll still get on average 50 BTC in 4 days
837 2011-01-12 19:33:45 <brocktice> ;;bc,calc 14000000
838 2011-01-12 19:33:47 <gribble> The average time to generate a block at 14000000 Khps, given current difficulty of 16307.48285682 , is 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 22 seconds
839 2011-01-12 19:33:49 <lfm> 4 weeksa
840 2011-01-12 19:34:02 <sipa> or course
841 2011-01-12 19:34:03 <brocktice> if you join slush's pool you'll get about 0.09BTC every 1.5 hours.
842 2011-01-12 19:34:04 * sipa hides in shame
843 2011-01-12 19:34:06 <brocktice> right now
844 2011-01-12 19:34:53 <brocktice> don't forget to calculate your power bill
845 2011-01-12 19:35:06 <nevezen> can you run the gpu and cpu generation at the same time?
846 2011-01-12 19:35:10 <brocktice> yeah
847 2011-01-12 19:35:18 <brocktice> not much point though, and it can slow down the GPU a little
848 2011-01-12 19:35:19 <sipa> it's not worth it typically
849 2011-01-12 19:35:26 <lfm> nevezen yes, run both
850 2011-01-12 19:35:26 <brocktice> at which point you come out behind
851 2011-01-12 19:35:29 <nevezen> I see..
852 2011-01-12 19:35:36 <sipa> for me, it slows down the GPU mining more than what the CPU mining gains
853 2011-01-12 19:35:38 <brocktice> I use my miner's CPUs to run some buildbots that get fired occasionally
854 2011-01-12 19:36:10 <lfm> buildbots?
855 2011-01-12 19:36:20 <nevezen> does m0mchil's client support multiple graphics cards?
856 2011-01-12 19:36:28 <nevezen> eg SLI/crossfire?
857 2011-01-12 19:36:28 <brocktice> kind of
858 2011-01-12 19:36:31 <brocktice> no
859 2011-01-12 19:36:32 <sipa> nevezen: just run multiple instances
860 2011-01-12 19:36:35 <brocktice> turn off crossfire
861 2011-01-12 19:36:38 <brocktice> you can use my daemon too
862 2011-01-12 19:36:59 <brocktice> https://github.com/brocktice/poclbm
863 2011-01-12 19:37:04 <brocktice> it tracks m0mchil's miner
864 2011-01-12 19:37:12 <brocktice> designed for headless mining on multiple GPUs
865 2011-01-12 19:37:15 <sipa> tracks?
866 2011-01-12 19:37:23 <brocktice> So, I forked his code
867 2011-01-12 19:37:30 <brocktice> and for a while I had a whole separate miner
868 2011-01-12 19:37:36 <brocktice> but it was getting too hard to keep up with changes
869 2011-01-12 19:37:41 <sipa> i also made some modifications to his miner
870 2011-01-12 19:37:45 <brocktice> so I moved all the important stuff into BitcoinMiner.py
871 2011-01-12 19:37:50 <midnightmagic> easier to merge with something like perforce..
872 2011-01-12 19:37:57 <brocktice> Which he agreed to pull
873 2011-01-12 19:38:09 <brocktice> so now my daemon script and his poclbm.py both use the BitcoinMiner python module
874 2011-01-12 19:38:16 <sipa> i see
875 2011-01-12 19:38:17 <brocktice> makes it easy to write your own interface.
876 2011-01-12 19:38:33 <brocktice> So mine is basically just a different user interface for his miner.
877 2011-01-12 19:38:41 <nevezen> wait, do you still need to run the standard bitcoin software when you pool mine?
878 2011-01-12 19:38:41 <brocktice> the work is all done in the same code.
879 2011-01-12 19:38:45 <brocktice> no
880 2011-01-12 19:38:45 <sipa> nevezen: no
881 2011-01-12 19:38:55 <sipa> you can of course
882 2011-01-12 19:39:03 <sipa> but it's unrelated
883 2011-01-12 19:39:05 <nevezen> oh, I thought it was necessary
884 2011-01-12 19:39:17 <sipa> you use the "client" of the pool
885 2011-01-12 19:39:21 <sipa> instead of your own
886 2011-01-12 19:39:39 <nevezen> so just run m0mchil's client without the official bitcoin software
887 2011-01-12 19:39:44 <nevezen> it's standalone...
888 2011-01-12 19:40:14 <lfm> you can move your coins to mybitcoin.com or some such and not need to run a local bitcoin
889 2011-01-12 19:41:08 <nevezen> mybitcoin.com keeps track of your addresses?
890 2011-01-12 19:41:14 <lfm> yes
891 2011-01-12 19:41:17 satamusic has joined
892 2011-01-12 19:41:39 <nevezen> how is it different than just running bitcoin yourself?
893 2011-01-12 19:42:19 <lfm> saves disk space and bandwidth. turns over security to mybitcoin.com
894 2011-01-12 19:42:39 <nevezen> I guess if you fire up bitcoin yourself, it needs to collect blocks, make connections, recieve confirmations, etc, right?
895 2011-01-12 19:42:45 satamusic_ has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
896 2011-01-12 19:42:47 <Cusipzzz> 'turns over security to mybitcoin.com' - yuck
897 2011-01-12 19:42:51 <brocktice> It lets you use bitcoin from another computer
898 2011-01-12 19:42:52 <lfm> right
899 2011-01-12 19:43:06 <brocktice> It's a good 'wallet' vs. savings / safe deposit
900 2011-01-12 19:43:17 <nevezen> do they take commission?
901 2011-01-12 19:43:19 <brocktice> put a few hundred BTC in there, like a checking account.
902 2011-01-12 19:43:22 <brocktice> no I think donations
903 2011-01-12 19:43:29 <lfm> nope, its free
904 2011-01-12 19:43:38 <midnightmagic> "That's right. MyBitcoin is completely free. We are supported by selling small text ads that are in our login area. We are also planning on selling support packages in the near future."
905 2011-01-12 19:43:53 <brocktice> they should make money off their merchant services
906 2011-01-12 19:43:58 <slush> midnightmagic: you are behind mybitcoin?
907 2011-01-12 19:44:02 <brocktice> of course, for that to happen their shopping cart needs to be better.
908 2011-01-12 19:44:04 <midnightmagic> no, goodness no.
909 2011-01-12 19:44:06 <Cusipzzz> caveat emptor. hope he doesn't get a coke habit.
910 2011-01-12 19:44:16 <slush> midnightmagic: oh, it was copy&paste, sorry :)
911 2011-01-12 19:44:31 <slush> so, who is behind it?
912 2011-01-12 19:44:31 <midnightmagic> np man!

920 2011-01-12 19:47:12 <Cusipzzz> somehow i'd feel better about losing my own wallet.dat that having xyz online service lose it for me.
921 2011-01-12 19:47:24 <nevezen> I still have doubts on the actual worth of coins though
922 2011-01-12 19:47:25 <nanotube> nevezen: just give me your bitcoins, i'll keep them for you, at a modest charge of 1% per year. :)
923 2011-01-12 19:47:32 <nevezen> :)
924 2011-01-12 19:47:53 <nanotube> nevezen: well, all we can know is the current worth, not future worth - which is true for any asset.

931 2011-01-12 19:52:07 <brocktice> at least on linux or mac os x backups of your wallet.dat are easy
932 2011-01-12 19:52:30 <brocktice> 1) install dropbox
933 2011-01-12 19:52:31 <nevezen> I mean, has there been real transactions occuring via bitcoin? Like sending or recieving something tangible (products, goods, etc)?
934 2011-01-12 19:52:37 <brocktice> yeah
935 2011-01-12 19:52:42 <brocktice> I've bought some stuff
936 2011-01-12 19:52:47 <brocktice> sold a rackmount server
937 2011-01-12 19:52:49 <nevezen> using bitcoins?
938 2011-01-12 19:52:51 <brocktice> yep
939 2011-01-12 19:52:55 <nevezen> hmmmm
940 2011-01-12 19:53:05 <brocktice> bought about $300 worth of gold
941 2011-01-12 19:53:06 <nevezen> may I ask how many bitcoins you've recieved?
942 2011-01-12 19:53:11 <brocktice> for the server?
943 2011-01-12 19:53:14 <lfm> I have collected a couple rewards for programming projects
944 2011-01-12 19:53:25 <brocktice> I don't remember, it was equivalent to about $250 with shipping.
945 2011-01-12 19:53:28 <brocktice> it was an old server
946 2011-01-12 19:53:36 <brocktice> still good, but 32 bit and I needed to upgrade to 64
947 2011-01-12 19:53:48 <nevezen> yeah, the server.
948 2011-01-12 19:53:49 <brocktice> yay biddingpond
949 2011-01-12 19:54:16 <brocktice> I paid tcatm 1000 as a bounty for an android client
950 2011-01-12 19:54:31 <nevezen> I've yet to try linking wallet.dat to my dropbox account
951 2011-01-12 19:54:36 <brocktice> oh right
952 2011-01-12 19:54:39 <brocktice> so, 1) install dropbox
953 2011-01-12 19:54:48 <brocktice> 2) write a bash script that uses bitcoind's dump wallet feature
954 2011-01-12 19:54:52 <nevezen> but if it's as easy as symlinking wallet.dat, it shouldn't be a problem..
955 2011-01-12 19:54:58 <brocktice> 3) the script then gpg encrypts the backup to yourself
956 2011-01-12 19:55:04 <brocktice> 4) then the script puts the file on Dropbox.
957 2011-01-12 19:55:12 <brocktice> Dropbox (unlike jungledisk) can see all your files
958 2011-01-12 19:55:16 <brocktice> so I don't recommend just symlinking.
959 2011-01-12 19:55:27 <brocktice> crontab -e to run the script hourly or whatever
960 2011-01-12 19:55:32 <nevezen> oh, but wouldn't wallet.dat be locked when in use?
961 2011-01-12 19:55:49 <brocktice> no
962 2011-01-12 19:55:50 <midnightmagic> and then take your gpg keys and put them on a dvd+r and put it in a safety deposit box. :)
963 2011-01-12 19:55:57 <brocktice> bitcoind backupwallet $outputfilename
964 2011-01-12 19:56:16 <brocktice> works while it's running
965 2011-01-12 19:56:37 <brocktice> anyway, so even if your wallet gets corrupted at some point, with dropbox you can go back to previous revisions
966 2011-01-12 19:56:44 <brocktice> happened to me, recovered successfully
967 2011-01-12 19:56:45 <nevezen> right

1000 2011-01-12 20:14:32 <lfm> pretty much unencrypted ya. it uses cryptographically secure hashes to ensure data integrity tho
1001 2011-01-12 20:15:52 <lfm> not really any point to encrypt the txn since anyone can join the net and get all the info anyway

1005 2011-01-12 20:18:13 <lfm> if it was over $10000 we' all have to report it to various government departments by law
1006 2011-01-12 20:18:28 <ArtForzZz> errr, no

1010 2011-01-12 20:19:57 <lfm> pretty sure its any single txn over 10000 here
1011 2011-01-12 20:20:10 <ArtForzZz> well, 10000 is > 1000, no?
1012 2011-01-12 20:20:18 <lfm> might be /day, dunno really
1013 2011-01-12 20:20:21 <ArtForzZz> also depends on countryx obviously

1020 2011-01-12 20:24:50 <ArtForzZz> nope
1021 2011-01-12 20:25:05 <nevezen> can you run bitcoin with the same wallet.dat file on multiple computers?
1022 2011-01-12 20:25:13 <lyspooner> i mean $perBTC
1023 2011-01-12 20:25:39 <lfm> nevezen nope, you need different wallets on each system really
1024 2011-01-12 20:26:40 <nevezen> I'm looking at mining.bitcoin.cz..
1025 2011-01-12 20:26:45 <lfm> nevezen use mybitcoin.com if you want to access a balance from many places
1026 2011-01-12 20:27:05 <nevezen> so if I wanted to add a second worker, it has to be a different wallet.dat?
1027 2011-01-12 20:27:35 <lfm> just different address I think
1028 2011-01-12 20:28:03 <ArtForzZz> iirc you can have as many workers as you want on a single addr
1029 2011-01-12 20:28:07 <lfm> maybe can even be the same address. depending on the pool
1030 2011-01-12 20:28:11 <ArtForzZz> you just have to create a l/p for each one
1031 2011-01-12 20:28:51 <nevezen> l/p?
1032 2011-01-12 20:31:10 <ArtForzZz> login/password

1034 2011-01-12 20:33:27 <nevezen> OH, right. It's not an issue.. since I'm only using poclbm and it doesn't access wallet.dat..
1035 2011-01-12 20:33:38 <ArtForzZz> yep
1036 2011-01-12 20:33:59 <nevezen> that actually makes it very portable then

1040 2011-01-12 20:37:09 <Diablo-D3> nevezen: why would it?
1041 2011-01-12 20:37:53 <lyspooner> tcatm, can you show me difficulty/$perBTC over time? if you're not busy
1042 2011-01-12 20:38:18 <tcatm> luke-jr: query_form() fails on invalid queries (like ?foo)
1043 2011-01-12 20:38:24 <nevezen> I guess you can take poclbm and it's files, pack it onto a usb stick, and run it on any computer that has a supported GPU card.
1044 2011-01-12 20:38:31 <luke-jr> tcatm: as it should?
1045 2011-01-12 20:38:54 <nanotube> nevezen: yes you could.
1046 2011-01-12 20:39:10 <tcatm> luke-jr: mkay
1047 2011-01-12 20:39:39 <brocktice> nevezen: I guess you can take poclbm and it's files, pack it onto a rootkit, and run it on any computers in a botnet that have a supported GPU card.
1048 2011-01-12 20:39:58 <brocktice> but as I have said before, people would probably notice
1049 2011-01-12 20:40:02 <brocktice> due to the fan noise and heat
1050 2011-01-12 20:40:16 <nanotube> unless you throttle
1051 2011-01-12 20:40:28 <nanotube> 10% of 1000 gpus each is not bad either. :)
1052 2011-01-12 20:41:52 <nevezen> oh botnet.. even better. But that would be kind of illegal..
1053 2011-01-12 20:41:57 <midnightmagic> i have a vague notion it wouldn't be worth it, either.
1054 2011-01-12 20:43:24 <ArtForzZz> not to mention hard to pull off without being traceable
1055 2011-01-12 20:45:32 <nanotube> ArtForzZz: well, used with a mining pool... it'd only be traceable to your pool account, which in turn is only traceable to a bitcoin address (launderable) and an email address (single-purpose address established on a freemail provider). so not so hard, it seems.
1056 2011-01-12 20:45:58 <nanotube> i'm sure the day of a bitcoin-generating botnet is just around the corner. :)
1057 2011-01-12 20:46:01 <ArtForzZz> yep
1058 2011-01-12 20:47:40 <ArtForzZz> and that pool operatur surely wont notice # of connected nodes suddenly quintupling
1059 2011-01-12 20:47:45 <ArtForzZz> *# of connected miners
1060 2011-01-12 20:48:01 <sipa> i'm sure you can create a simple miner-multiplexer :)
1061 2011-01-12 20:48:06 <midnightmagic> it would have to operate for a sustained period of time, difficulty would scale up considerably, normal people would stop mining, people would be wondering who's mining all the coins..
1062 2011-01-12 20:48:47 altamic has joined
1063 2011-01-12 20:48:58 <ArtForzZz> should be fun to watch
1064 2011-01-12 20:49:02 <midnightmagic> and artforz would go track them down and shoot them in the head because his structured asics would suddenly be useless.
1065 2011-01-12 20:49:07 <nanotube> ArtForzZz: or starting own pool. all you need is an anonymous vps bought via bitcoins, to run your bitcoind.
1066 2011-01-12 20:49:12 <brocktice> on the contrary
1067 2011-01-12 20:49:23 <brocktice> There would be all the more demand for his ASICs
1068 2011-01-12 20:49:26 <ArtForzZz> oh, and dont forget secretly installing dev GPU drivers
1069 2011-01-12 20:49:59 <midnightmagic> they'd be cheating economically. nobody normal could ever compete.
1070 2011-01-12 20:50:01 <nanotube> heh well yea that too.
1071 2011-01-12 20:50:12 <midnightmagic> nor even art. :)
1072 2011-01-12 20:50:19 <ArtForzZz> I wouldnt be too sure
1073 2011-01-12 20:50:24 <brocktice> Part of the point of mining for bitcoins is to protect from things like that
1074 2011-01-12 20:50:24 <tcatm> lyspooner: there was a website somehwere that showed difficulty/block and you can get totalbc at block from http://blockexplorer.com/q/

1080 2011-01-12 20:55:18 <midnightmagic> it would be tough to compete with a botnet, economically. it would require massive capital outlay, but the botnet owners have no capital outlay except for software deployment costs.
1081 2011-01-12 20:55:59 <nanotube> yea using other people's hardware and power is hard to beat, cost-wise. :)
1082 2011-01-12 20:56:03 <midnightmagic> it would be a bitcoin war of attrition, prices would drop as each undercut the other for incoming costs.
1083 2011-01-12 20:56:52 <ArtForzZz> well, try it
1084 2011-01-12 20:57:22 <midnightmagic> i'm not a blackhat.
1085 2011-01-12 20:57:26 <ArtForzZz> botnet operators tried to compete with with GPU clusters for s3 sim unlocking... not for long
1086 2011-01-12 20:57:52 <midnightmagic> ooOooo that sounds exciting. i never heard about that.
1087 2011-01-12 20:58:22 <nanotube> yea but can gpu clusters compete with botnet gpu clusters? :) once there are enough botted boxes with modern gpus and fresh drivers installed... it's not impossible.
1088 2011-01-12 20:58:40 <midnightmagic> it would be interesting, because not everyone has a good video card installed.
1089 2011-01-12 20:59:09 <ArtForzZz> I suspect there isnt much overlap between zombies and good gaming boxes
1090 2011-01-12 20:59:20 <midnightmagic> =]
1091 2011-01-12 20:59:33 <ArtForzZz> and pretty much nobody else has a decent GPU
1092 2011-01-12 21:00:32 <nanotube> i dunno, all those gamers downloading pirated infected games off piratebay.... :)

1096 2011-01-12 21:01:15 <sipa> just find a nice new heavy game, infect it, share it on all torrent sites and seed like hell :)
1097 2011-01-12 21:01:19 <ArtForzZz> yet they magically dont get rooted too often
1098 2011-01-12 21:01:38 <sipa> of course, the botnet also causes you to seed the game on torrent sites again
1099 2011-01-12 21:02:22 <ArtForzZz> iirc theres already plenty botnets trying that

1103 2011-01-12 21:05:18 <ArtForzZz> rough calcs say you should be able to get ~5Ghps out of a 5970
1104 2011-01-12 21:05:31 <Diablo-D3> ArtForzZz: because no one gives a shit
1105 2011-01-12 21:06:38 <ArtForzZz> actually it seems no one bothered to try bitslice DES on GPUs... weird
1106 2011-01-12 21:07:45 <ArtForzZz> you'd have to pull a few stunts to keep register usage low enough
1107 2011-01-12 21:07:59 <ArtForzZz> doesnt really look too hard though

1135 2011-01-12 21:39:42 <sipa> as soon as you use a dot, it's X8 ?

1168 2011-01-12 22:43:15 <andrew12> lol

1174 2011-01-12 22:44:27 <edcba> ie use current COIN value for each version
1175 2011-01-12 22:44:51 <Cusipzzz> EvanR-work: ?
1176 2011-01-12 22:44:59 <EvanR-work> did i hear about this wrong
1177 2011-01-12 22:45:08 <edcba> so when/if COIN is rebased will just add some ?version = 2 or use bitcoin2:
1178 2011-01-12 22:45:26 <Cusipzzz> EvanR-work: you mean selling mybitcoin accounts stocked with diff denominations of coins ?
1179 2011-01-12 22:45:31 <EvanR-work> yes
1180 2011-01-12 22:45:41 <Cusipzzz> EvanR-work: the person buying still has to trust you not to spend them first, lol
1181 2011-01-12 22:45:46 <EvanR-work> ah
1182 2011-01-12 22:45:51 <EvanR-work> you give them the password basically
1183 2011-01-12 22:45:59 <Cusipzzz> but it's faster than waiting for confirms, etc
1184 2011-01-12 22:46:11 <Cusipzzz> yes, just give them credential to a 50BTC acocunt, for example
1185 2011-01-12 22:46:17 <EvanR-work> sounds a bit like giving someon an account number as payment ;)
1186 2011-01-12 22:46:44 <EvanR-work> to a bank
1187 2011-01-12 22:46:45 <Cusipzzz> exactly. receiver should change credentials or ship coins out asap
1188 2011-01-12 22:47:02 <Cusipzzz> but it's a possible solution to the BTC check or money order problem
1189 2011-01-12 22:47:29 <EvanR-work> whats the check or money order problem
1190 2011-01-12 22:47:43 <Keefe> or give them the private key for a bitcoin addr
1191 2011-01-12 22:48:03 <Keefe> can print just the 256-bit secret portion
1192 2011-01-12 22:48:08 <Keefe> as a QR code
1193 2011-01-12 22:48:16 <Cusipzzz> well, if you are not at a client, you can send mybitcoin credentials via email/phone/txt
1194 2011-01-12 22:48:33 <Cusipzzz> basically a mobile blank moeny order
1195 2011-01-12 22:48:44 <Cusipzzz> in BTCs
1196 2011-01-12 22:48:55 <nanotube> better be encrypted email. :P
1197 2011-01-12 22:49:13 <Cusipzzz> like i said, should change credential to account or ship out coins asap =)
1198 2011-01-12 22:49:20 <ArtForzZz> iirc you could compress it even more
1199 2011-01-12 22:49:56 <andrew12> hmm, how many bitcoins would I be able to get out of $2.84?
1200 2011-01-12 22:49:57 <ArtForzZz> use something like aes128 in CTR mode to create the random seed for a keypair
1201 2011-01-12 22:50:01 <Cusipzzz> or a mtgox account.
1202 2011-01-12 22:50:14 <ArtForzZz> now you only need to distribute 128 bits of aes key
1203 2011-01-12 22:50:29 <lyspooner> any recommendations for a non-computer-science intro to cryptography
1204 2011-01-12 22:50:42 <nanotube> lyspooner: wikipedia :)
1205 2011-01-12 22:50:43 <ArtForzZz> and yes, it pretty much IS like giving someone an account number for payment
1206 2011-01-12 22:50:55 <ArtForzZz> or more like, the whole account
1207 2011-01-12 22:50:57 <EvanR-work> andrew12: going to be tricky due to fees and premiums
1208 2011-01-12 22:51:03 <Cusipzzz> right, but with a mtgox or mybitcoin account, they don't need a client to redeem
1209 2011-01-12 22:51:11 <lyspooner> nanotube, ok little more than intro
1210 2011-01-12 22:51:15 <EvanR-work> andrew12: but you can haggle in #bitcoin-otc
1211 2011-01-12 22:51:37 <andrew12> I'll probably end up trying just $2.50 since that leave enough for any little fees
1212 2011-01-12 22:51:39 <ArtForzZz> yes, but that requires a central trusted authority
1213 2011-01-12 22:52:09 <Cusipzzz> agree, but not everyone is a shh-to their vps for bitcoind type :)
1214 2011-01-12 22:52:14 <EvanR-work> 2.5 * 3 = 7.5BTC ;)
1215 2011-01-12 22:52:15 <lyspooner> some book from the 80's or 90's before machines existed
1216 2011-01-12 22:52:16 <Cusipzzz> ssh*
1217 2011-01-12 22:52:19 <nanotube> andrew12: try coinpal, if you have paypal...
1218 2011-01-12 22:52:47 <andrew12> nanotube: thanks. only issue there is that it asks how much BTC i want, not how much PPUSD I have
1219 2011-01-12 22:52:58 <nanotube> ah hehe ic
1220 2011-01-12 22:53:12 <nanotube> email mndrix with a feature suggestion. :)
1221 2011-01-12 22:53:27 <Cusipzzz> lyspooner: Applied cryptography / Schneier
1222 2011-01-12 22:53:37 <andrew12> grrrr
1223 2011-01-12 22:53:47 <andrew12> need to make chrome open email links in gmail instead of outlook
1224 2011-01-12 22:53:58 <lyspooner> why all the zzz in this forum
1225 2011-01-12 22:54:06 <tcatm> edcba: well for now the scheme will do I hope
1226 2011-01-12 22:54:10 <lyspooner> thanks cusipzzz
1227 2011-01-12 22:54:24 <EvanR-work> andrew12: the rate is like 1/3 USD per btc, look at mtgox recent history
1228 2011-01-12 22:54:41 <EvanR-work> or read the coinpal details
1229 2011-01-12 22:55:03 <edcba> yes seems a scheme i could live with :)
1230 2011-01-12 22:56:55 <Keefe> ArtForzZz: well, you could use any word/phrase of any length and hash it with some algo to get a priv key. but it has to be something that can't be brute-forced quickly as it's not like a website password that has significant latency and usually protections against too many attmepts
1231 2011-01-12 22:57:56 <ArtForzZz> yep
1232 2011-01-12 22:58:10 <ArtForzZz> which is why I said random 128 bit key
1233 2011-01-12 22:58:21 <ArtForzZz> should be as strong as ecdsa256
1234 2011-01-12 22:58:27 <ArtForzZz> yet only half the length
1235 2011-01-12 22:59:02 <ArtForzZz> though for a 5 BTC "prepaid key", 64 bits would probably be plenty ;)
1236 2011-01-12 22:59:17 <Keefe> if you only need it to be safe for say 1 month...
1237 2011-01-12 23:00:21 <Cusipzzz> or maybe host a bunch of encrypted wallets on rapidshare/equivalent and send out keys as needed
1238 2011-01-12 23:00:31 <Keefe> ya, i wouldn't go less than 64 bit
1239 2011-01-12 23:01:13 <sipa> don't forget a relatively large part of the bitcoin community has access to some performant number-crunching hardware :)
1240 2011-01-12 23:01:21 <Cusipzzz> hahah, yes
1241 2011-01-12 23:01:23 <ArtForzZz> 64 bits is still a lot
1242 2011-01-12 23:01:24 <Keefe> accounted for
1243 2011-01-12 23:01:44 <ArtForzZz> especially if the power to crack the key costs more than the value of the BTC contained in said key
1244 2011-01-12 23:01:59 <Keefe> keep in mind how much btc can be generated by a cluster that could crack a 64bit key in a month :)
1245 2011-01-12 23:02:08 <ArtForzZz> yep
1246 2011-01-12 23:02:33 <sipa> 136GH/s = 2^64 hashes in 4 years
1247 2011-01-12 23:03:02 <ArtForzZz> dont forget ECDSA key calculation is kinda slow
1248 2011-01-12 23:03:14 <ArtForzZz> and last time I checked GPUs werent exactly well-suited for bigint math
1249 2011-01-12 23:03:39 <sipa> ok, i just made the very crude approximation that 122 sha256 would be the same order of magnitude
1250 2011-01-12 23:03:43 <sipa> *rounds
1251 2011-01-12 23:03:53 <ArtForzZz> could be, not 100% sure
1252 2011-01-12 23:04:15 <ArtForzZz> and of course you could derive the secret from PBKDF(some_random_bitstring, OVER 9000!!!!)

1260 2011-01-12 23:13:14 <ArtForzZz> that's the "that doesn't look very random one", right?
1261 2011-01-12 23:13:26 <ArtForzZz> ahhh... yeah
1262 2011-01-12 23:13:33 <sipa> without looking, i assumed that too :)
1263 2011-01-12 23:13:48 <ArtForzZz> yeah, I guessed first :P
1264 2011-01-12 23:14:09 <sipa> oh it was a race
1265 2011-01-12 23:14:23 <ArtForzZz> no, I mean I also guessed before looking what it is :P
1266 2011-01-12 23:14:58 <sipa> as long as the encryption can't be broken with a 5% wrench, everything is ok :)
1267 2011-01-12 23:15:03 <ArtForzZz> btw, sony sued geohot for releasing the PS3 signing key ...

1269 2011-01-12 23:16:09 <ArtForzZz> and on another note, I hope we don't get "you have to hand over encryption keys or get thrown in jail for contempt" laws here
1270 2011-01-12 23:16:34 <ArtForzZz> I actually DO have a HD full of purely random data here
1271 2011-01-12 23:16:57 <rachael> leave that one at home if you plan a uk trip
1272 2011-01-12 23:17:01 <ArtForzZz> it's output from a RNG I built
1273 2011-01-12 23:17:17 <edcba> we all know it's your encrypted fs

1276 2011-01-12 23:18:18 <ArtForzZz> problem is, prove that the single HD you can't provide a key for actually *isn't* encrypted
1277 2011-01-12 23:18:18 <newsham> sew-knee
1278 2011-01-12 23:18:41 <sipa> no no it *WAS* a plain old filesystem
1279 2011-01-12 23:18:52 <sipa> but he XOR'ed it with the output of his PRNG
1280 2011-01-12 23:19:03 <sipa> so, it's completely random now, right? :p
1281 2011-01-12 23:19:10 <ArtForzZz> yep
1282 2011-01-12 23:19:14 <ArtForzZz> RNG, not PRNG
1283 2011-01-12 23:19:26 <newsham> you sure it wasnt a diff filesystem XOR'ed against the output of your PRNG?
1284 2011-01-12 23:19:45 <ArtForzZz> thats the thing, I think it's every possible filesystem xored against the output of my RNG
1285 2011-01-12 23:20:00 <ArtForzZz> one time pads are weird that way
1286 2011-01-12 23:20:04 <sipa> oh, it's a non-deterministic RNG
1287 2011-01-12 23:20:08 <ArtForzZz> yep
1288 2011-01-12 23:20:22 <ArtForzZz> diode shot noise based
1289 2011-01-12 23:20:37 <newsham> if you are to believe schroedinger..
1290 2011-01-12 23:20:40 <donpdonp> how am i supposed to prove my RNG is functioning if its not predictable? :)
1291 2011-01-12 23:20:42 <ArtForzZz> so it's a QUANTUM RNG </marketroid>
