   8 2011-02-02 00:19:30 <nanotube> mm another 2.5 k difficulty bump
   9 2011-02-02 00:20:58 <ArtForz> probably quite a bit more
  10 2011-02-02 00:21:11 <Necr0s> Is difficulty measured linearly?
  11 2011-02-02 00:21:16 <ArtForz> yep
  12 2011-02-02 00:21:25 <Necr0s> Like does 10,000 take twice as long as 5,000?
  13 2011-02-02 00:21:30 <nanotube> ArtForz: well yea by the time the whole 2016-block chunk passes by, possibly 23k+
  14 2011-02-02 00:21:35 <Necr0s> cool.
  15 2011-02-02 00:22:24 <ArtForz> simple exponential extrapolation, ~27.5k
  16 2011-02-02 00:23:27 <n0m4d> i believe it is somehow related to the # of zeros at the head of the hash being mined...  which would make it exponential.
  17 2011-02-02 00:23:35 <ArtForz> no
  18 2011-02-02 00:23:47 <ArtForz> hash is checked for <= target
  19 2011-02-02 00:23:56 <ArtForz> base target is 0xFFFF << 208
  20 2011-02-02 00:24:05 <Kiba> how many blocks are we supposed to have?
  21 2011-02-02 00:24:11 <ArtForz> difficulty is simply base_target / current_target
  22 2011-02-02 00:24:15 <n0m4d> :)  thanks Artforz!
  23 2011-02-02 00:24:29 <Kiba> I seem to be stuck at 105726 blocks
  24 2011-02-02 00:24:33 <Kiba> with only 5 connections

  27 2011-02-02 00:25:13 <Kiba> if you have the clock set wrong, does that mean anything for confirmations?
  28 2011-02-02 00:25:14 <ArtForz> same here
  29 2011-02-02 00:25:15 <Necr0s> I haxxed my router to force my one bc instance to connect to my other local one so it wouldn't have to dl the whole chain from the internets.
  30 2011-02-02 00:25:24 <Necr0s> Worked rather well, but was still slow to transfer.
  31 2011-02-02 00:25:35 <Necr0s> Speaking of that...
  32 2011-02-02 00:25:45 <Necr0s> Is that "chain" going to grow and grow forever?
  33 2011-02-02 00:25:50 <ArtForz> yes
  34 2011-02-02 00:25:58 <Necr0s> Like, is every transaction ever recorded in it?
  35 2011-02-02 00:26:01 <ArtForz> yes
  36 2011-02-02 00:26:06 <Necr0s> Hmm.
  37 2011-02-02 00:26:08 Cusipzzz has joined
  38 2011-02-02 00:26:30 <Necr0s> I would hope the designers foresaw the problems involved with such a design...
  39 2011-02-02 00:26:41 <ArtForz> transactions are organized in hash trees though, so we can drop branches containing spent transactions and only keep the tree hash
  40 2011-02-02 00:27:05 <ArtForz> current client doesn't implement that yet
  41 2011-02-02 00:27:12 <Necr0s> Is that "pruning" built-in to the, uh, spec?
  42 2011-02-02 00:28:01 <ArtForz> iirc, yes
  43 2011-02-02 00:28:23 <n0m4d> the whitepaper mentions merkel trees...
  44 2011-02-02 00:28:28 <ArtForz> yep
  45 2011-02-02 00:28:36 <ArtForz> merkle tree = binary hash tree
  46 2011-02-02 00:28:57 <n0m4d> i was under the impression that it also implied that collapsing of nodes?
  47 2011-02-02 00:29:18 <n0m4d> i hadn't gotten into the implementation of the tree yet...  :)
  48 2011-02-02 00:29:34 <ArtForz> so yes, spec already hints at that part
  49 2011-02-02 00:30:48 <ArtForz> nobody bothered to implement it so far, mainly because introducing all that complexity when the whole chain is still only 70MB seems a bit overkill

  90 2011-02-02 00:53:37 <andrew12^mac> wee
  91 2011-02-02 00:53:48 <slush> but you're counting shares, low-diff work

  95 2011-02-02 00:54:41 <ArtForz> I personally prefer explicit "is not None" checks, easier to read

  99 2011-02-02 00:57:14 <jgarzik> MT`AwAy: on pastecoin?  see above what I wrote for Kiba
 100 2011-02-02 00:57:15 <ArtForz> yep
 101 2011-02-02 00:57:29 <ArtForz> str1 in str2 does a string search
 102 2011-02-02 00:57:45 * jgarzik wants to RE "\bgzip\b" to match word boundaries, but that didn't work when gzip was at the end of the string for some reason
 103 2011-02-02 00:58:21 <MT`AwAy> jgarzik: tl;dr
 104 2011-02-02 00:58:22 <ArtForz> how are the different encodings seperated again?
 105 2011-02-02 00:58:29 <ArtForz> whitespace or ; ?

 109 2011-02-02 00:59:52 <jgarzik> MT`AwAy: I figured one could perform a buffer search for 'pastecoin', but no matter
 110 2011-02-02 01:00:13 <Cusipzzz> lol
 111 2011-02-02 01:00:16 <MT`AwAy> jgarzik: I'd need to cd in the log dir, find the right file and grep it
 112 2011-02-02 01:00:27 <ArtForz> sec

 114 2011-02-02 01:00:42 <MT`AwAy> ok
 115 2011-02-02 01:00:57 <MT`AwAy> jgarzik: btw you should remember to renew the vps, or it'll expire (renewal is free, you just need to renew it)
 116 2011-02-02 01:00:57 <ArtForz> "gzip" in (i.strip() for i in hdr.split(","))
 117 2011-02-02 01:01:08 <MT`AwAy> (the idea is for me to know you're still alive and on the project)
 118 2011-02-02 01:01:21 <jgarzik> MT`AwAy: ACK
 119 2011-02-02 01:01:24 <ArtForz> actually the strip is superfluos
 120 2011-02-02 01:01:33 <ArtForz> err... no it isnt
 121 2011-02-02 01:01:35 <MT`AwAy> jgarzik: I did it today
 122 2011-02-02 01:01:45 <jgarzik> tnx
 123 2011-02-02 01:02:05 <ArtForz> splits hdr into multiple strings, strips leading+trailing witespace form each component, compares each component to "gzip2 with a exact match
 124 2011-02-02 01:02:16 <ArtForz> *"gzip"
 125 2011-02-02 01:02:50 <jgarzik> I'll think I'll just do gzip-in-hdr for now :)  That matches current behavior

 130 2011-02-02 01:05:55 <andrew12^mac> are you trying to do a regexp?

 132 2011-02-02 01:06:31 <andrew12^mac> because i'm pretty sure you want ^gzip$ as your regexp
 133 2011-02-02 01:06:41 <andrew12^mac> ^ is start of string, $ is end of string

 153 2011-02-02 01:22:50 <Kiba> hmm
 154 2011-02-02 01:23:04 <Necr0s> The cause being a nonexistent proxy server set in Windows's Internet Options.
 155 2011-02-02 01:23:25 <Necr0s> Man, I can't believe I beat my head against that for so long.

 177 2011-02-02 01:29:21 <andrew12> 192.168.0.24 is still my desktop's ip, and bitcoin is checked

 195 2011-02-02 01:44:10 <noagendamarket> they might get excited when they think theyve got over 9000 bitcoins but it turns out they didnt we can point and l;augh
 196 2011-02-02 01:45:52 <Kiba> It seem that my bitcoin client is not connecting to anybody
 197 2011-02-02 01:45:54 * Kiba wonders why
 198 2011-02-02 01:48:28 <andrew12^mac> Kiba: did you try connecting to 71.166.130.45?
 199 2011-02-02 01:48:40 <andrew12^mac> (my ip, still no idea if it works)
 200 2011-02-02 01:49:16 <andrew12> it must work
 201 2011-02-02 01:49:21 <andrew12> 66 connections :P

 211 2011-02-02 01:51:38 <slush> newsham: does not work in ff
 212 2011-02-02 01:51:55 <andrew12^mac> works in chrome
 213 2011-02-02 01:52:16 <newsham> slush: whats error console say?  i can prob fix
 214 2011-02-02 01:52:23 <newsham> dont have ffox handy here at the moment though
 215 2011-02-02 01:52:50 <slush> newsham: heh, websocket is not defined
 216 2011-02-02 01:52:57 <slush> probably cannot be solved easily ;)
 217 2011-02-02 01:53:06 <newsham> oh.. heh :)
 218 2011-02-02 01:53:09 <newsham> run in chrome ;)
 219 2011-02-02 01:53:20 <andrew12^mac> no errors in chrome :P
 220 2011-02-02 01:53:24 <slush> btw what is on mtgox.com:8080?
 221 2011-02-02 01:53:35 <newsham> it streams updates over webscoket
 222 2011-02-02 01:53:40 kermit has joined
 223 2011-02-02 01:53:50 <slush> how so? Some new feature?
 224 2011-02-02 01:53:56 <newsham> in chrome javascript console you can check out the "lastmsg' variable to see whats in it
 225 2011-02-02 01:54:00 <slush> I know only trade api
 226 2011-02-02 01:54:13 <newsham> it passes over some json data, server push instead of client pull
 227 2011-02-02 01:54:15 <slush> newsham: you are connected to mtgox somehow?
 228 2011-02-02 01:54:23 <newsham> no, i emailed asking
 229 2011-02-02 01:54:25 <newsham> about streaming
 230 2011-02-02 01:54:29 <slush> wow, nice!
 231 2011-02-02 01:54:48 <slush> so it is new experimental feature
 232 2011-02-02 01:54:53 <newsham> arent there some recent ffox's with websocket yet?
 233 2011-02-02 01:55:52 <slush> don't know
 234 2011-02-02 01:56:23 <doublec> websockets worked in firefox 4 but have been disabled
 235 2011-02-02 01:56:27 <doublec> for security reasons
 236 2011-02-02 01:56:34 <doublec> chrome is disabling theire support too
 237 2011-02-02 01:56:54 <andrew12^mac> probably because of xps
 238 2011-02-02 01:57:08 <doublec> you can enable it in firefox 4 by going into about:config
 239 2011-02-02 01:57:16 <doublec> and setting network.websocket.enabled to true
 240 2011-02-02 01:57:49 <doublec> and network.websocket.override-security-block to true
 241 2011-02-02 01:57:54 <andrew12^mac> someone should write a javascript miner :P
 242 2011-02-02 01:58:04 <doublec> see here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/WebSockets
 243 2011-02-02 01:58:06 <newsham> yah i've heard people say that a few times
 244 2011-02-02 01:58:23 <newsham> so that shady people can steal js cpu time while you sit on web pages
 245 2011-02-02 01:58:29 <newsham> as if theres not enough shadiness on the interwebs already
 246 2011-02-02 01:58:54 <doublec> this is a post about the issues: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/2010/12/disabling-websockets-for-firefox-4/
 247 2011-02-02 01:59:20 <andrew12^mac> how about node.js? :p
 248 2011-02-02 01:59:25 <slush> andrew12 flash miner would be better
 249 2011-02-02 01:59:32 <slush> new flash has also limited GPU support...
 250 2011-02-02 01:59:36 <andrew12^mac> heh
 251 2011-02-02 01:59:59 <andrew12^mac> hmm
 252 2011-02-02 02:01:13 <andrew12^mac> slush: if someone were to call getwork repeatedly with the same data on your pool (hash woudl be the same) would it count as a share still? that'd probably be an easy way for someone to get tons of free shares if not
 253 2011-02-02 02:01:18 <andrew12^mac> er if so*
 254 2011-02-02 02:01:19 <Necr0s> hmm indeed
 255 2011-02-02 02:01:53 <slush> andrew12 hmm, what do you think?
 256 2011-02-02 02:01:56 <Necr0s> So, uh, tell me a bit about this RPC interface.
 257 2011-02-02 02:01:59 <ArtForz> dude, if it's THAT obvious, someone probably already thought about it
 258 2011-02-02 02:02:03 sabalaba has quit (Quit: Leaving)
 259 2011-02-02 02:02:04 <slush> I mean - you really think there is SUCH hole? :)
 260 2011-02-02 02:02:11 <andrew12^mac> slush: I have no idea :P
 261 2011-02-02 02:02:38 <Necr0s> Specifically, how important is it to have a non-guessable password for it if you have it exposed to the internets at large for some reason?
 262 2011-02-02 02:03:02 <andrew12^mac> newsham: very?
 263 2011-02-02 02:03:13 <newsham> ?
 264 2011-02-02 02:03:18 <andrew12^mac> Necr0s**
 265 2011-02-02 02:03:20 <andrew12^mac> sorry newsham :P
 266 2011-02-02 02:03:23 <newsham> np
 267 2011-02-02 02:03:32 <Necr0s> I guess there wouldn't be an option to use a password if it weren't.
 268 2011-02-02 02:03:49 <andrew12^mac> hehe
 269 2011-02-02 02:04:02 <Necr0s> What kind of things could someone do to me using it?  Steal my coins?
 270 2011-02-02 02:04:15 <andrew12^mac> of course
 271 2011-02-02 02:04:32 <andrew12^mac> that's the point-- to be able to send coins
 272 2011-02-02 02:04:38 <andrew12^mac> via an api
 273 2011-02-02 02:04:41 <Necr0s> 'k.  I'll keep that in mind.
 274 2011-02-02 02:04:48 <andrew12^mac> read this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_tutorial_(JSON-RPC)
 275 2011-02-02 02:04:52 <Necr0s> The only use I'm familiar with is the getwork thing for remote miners.
 276 2011-02-02 02:05:09 <Necr0s> That looks like just the ticket.

 278 2011-02-02 02:05:21 <newsham> you can use json to set up xfers.  also with patch you can use it to fetch info about the block chain
 279 2011-02-02 02:05:29 <newsham> ie. history of xactions and difficulty
 280 2011-02-02 02:05:52 <andrew12^mac> why is rpc.cpp taking forever to compile
 281 2011-02-02 02:06:24 * andrew12^mac does make with -j2
 282 2011-02-02 02:06:29 <newsham> you have billyrubins in your cpu
 283 2011-02-02 02:06:49 <andrew12^mac> not my cpu :P

 294 2011-02-02 02:16:18 * Kiba shrugs
 295 2011-02-02 02:16:28 <andrew12^mac> 0, because tonal is irrelevent

 305 2011-02-02 02:22:36 <doublec> I don't think luke-jr likes the tone of this discussion...
 306 2011-02-02 02:22:51 * Cusipzzz listens to some Tone-Loc

 308 2011-02-02 02:23:16 <doublec> does tonal use a different font? I can't see the numbers to the right of the decimal
 309 2011-02-02 02:23:30 <andrew12^mac> hm
 310 2011-02-02 02:23:44 <andrew12^mac> idling at 0%

 312 2011-02-02 02:24:01 <luke-jr> doublec: it has 6 non-Arabic digits
 313 2011-02-02 02:24:16 <andrew12^mac> and i htop under S it says D instead of S or R
 314 2011-02-02 02:24:17 <doublec> i see
 315 2011-02-02 02:24:32 <andrew12^mac> eating like 72% CPU

 320 2011-02-02 02:24:44 <Kiba> but I still need to earn my 2100 BTC!
 321 2011-02-02 02:24:48 <luke-jr> doublec: minimal font with just the Tonal digits: http://luke.dashjr.org/education/tonal/glyphs/fonts/Luxi/LuxiTonal.ttf

 324 2011-02-02 02:25:11 <molecular> but it's very small might have misread
 325 2011-02-02 02:25:25 <MT`AwAy> ah
 326 2011-02-02 02:25:27 <MT`AwAy> E9DB
 327 2011-02-02 02:25:33 * MT`AwAy made font bigger
 328 2011-02-02 02:25:44 <luke-jr> MT`AwAy: weird, it should be E9Dx
 329 2011-02-02 02:25:53 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, yeah, font was too small
 330 2011-02-02 02:25:55 <luke-jr> the 'x' you can treat as a hexadecimal digit ;)
 331 2011-02-02 02:26:11 <luke-jr> and note that the Tonal '9' has a hexadecimal equivalent of 'A'
 332 2011-02-02 02:26:48 <luke-jr> (really, Tonal '9' should be E9DA, but I didn't feel like having the same symbol twice on my kb)
 333 2011-02-02 02:26:51 <andrew12^mac> any idea why g++ would just idle?
 334 2011-02-02 02:27:22 <luke-jr> http://luke.dashjr.org/education/tonal/glyphs/tonal-table.png <-- bitmap of what each Tonal character looks like
 335 2011-02-02 02:27:34 <MT`AwAy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hexadecimal_compass_by_Nystrom.jpg <- looking at this makes things easier to understand (ie 1 looks like 15, 2 looks like 14, etc)

 341 2011-02-02 02:31:16 <MT`AwAy> (sounds like a good idea)
 342 2011-02-02 02:33:26 <luke-jr> ##Tonal if anyone wants to join UTUG :P
 343 2011-02-02 02:33:42 <Kiba> only luke-jr is talking about tonal bitcoin

 345 2011-02-02 02:34:07 <Kiba> you don't even have a tonal fan club!
 346 2011-02-02 02:34:33 <luke-jr> now I do1
 347 2011-02-02 02:34:34 <luke-jr> !
 348 2011-02-02 02:34:44 <luke-jr> hopefully I'm not overlapping with someone else XD
 349 2011-02-02 02:34:45 <Kiba> and it doesn't include you
 350 2011-02-02 02:35:18 <luke-jr> andrew12^mac: no u, mac luser
 351 2011-02-02 02:35:35 <luke-jr> andrew12^mac: aren't you supposed to *think different*? huh?
 352 2011-02-02 02:35:35 <andrew12^mac> macs > tonal
 353 2011-02-02 02:35:45 <luke-jr> Macs < *
 354 2011-02-02 02:35:52 <andrew12^mac> luke-jr: i'll think different from what you think
 355 2011-02-02 02:35:53 <andrew12^mac> :P
 356 2011-02-02 02:35:55 <luke-jr> even Windows beats Mac, and I hate Windows :P
 357 2011-02-02 02:36:31 <ArtForz> macs suck
 358 2011-02-02 02:36:49 <andrew12^mac> argue argue argue
 359 2011-02-02 02:36:53 <ArtForz> OSX always sucked, but at least older macs had decent hardware
 360 2011-02-02 02:36:59 <luke-jr> ArtForz++
 361 2011-02-02 02:37:10 <luke-jr> I would have bought PowerPC Macs for the hardware and put Linux on
 362 2011-02-02 02:37:14 <andrew12^mac> argue argue argue!
 363 2011-02-02 02:37:15 <luke-jr> but now it's all the same old Intel crap
 364 2011-02-02 02:37:18 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, adding trolls to the discussion will not help people switching to tonal
 365 2011-02-02 02:37:31 <luke-jr> andrew12^mac is the one trolling :p
 366 2011-02-02 02:37:45 <andrew12^mac> pretty sure we both are
 367 2011-02-02 02:37:48 <andrew12^mac> nevertheless
 368 2011-02-02 02:37:52 <luke-jr> you started it XD
 369 2011-02-02 02:37:57 <andrew12^mac>  21:29:38 < luke-jr> andrew12^mac: no u, mac luser
 370 2011-02-02 02:37:59 <andrew12^mac> well
 371 2011-02-02 02:38:00 <andrew12^mac> i guess i did
 372 2011-02-02 02:38:08 <MT`AwAy> one starts a troll, the other one feeds it
 373 2011-02-02 02:38:09 <MT`AwAy> same thing
 374 2011-02-02 02:38:11 <andrew12^mac> because i joined ##tonal and said tonal sux
 375 2011-02-02 02:38:19 <ArtForz> so far had 3 imacs with bulging/dead caps on mainboard and in PSU in my family
 376 2011-02-02 02:38:19 <luke-jr> [21:28:49] --> andrew12^mac has joined this channel (~andrew@unaffiliated/andrew12).[21:29:00] <andrew12^mac> TONAL SUCKS!
 377 2011-02-02 02:39:05 <luke-jr> andrew12^mac: armistice? :P
 378 2011-02-02 02:39:19 <ArtForz> with that kind of failure rate one might as well get a dell
 379 2011-02-02 02:39:51 <MT`AwAy> ArtForz, I know a lot of people who are perfectly happy with macs, and never had much problem despite being computer illetrates
 380 2011-02-02 02:40:05 <ArtForz> yes
 381 2011-02-02 02:40:14 <MT`AwAy> apple made possible for those people to use computers, in this way they did something others have failed to do
 382 2011-02-02 02:40:26 <luke-jr> it could have done it without being proprietary
 383 2011-02-02 02:40:27 <ArtForz> thats why I try to get my computer-illiterate relatives on macs
 384 2011-02-02 02:42:05 <ArtForz> playing tech support for immediate family is plenty
 385 2011-02-02 02:42:27 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, when you're a company, you usually think about how you're going to eat (and release more product) before thinking of giving out all the stuff you created for free (anyway mac os is less proprietary than others like windows)
 386 2011-02-02 02:42:55 <luke-jr> MT`AwAy: proprietary != commercial
 387 2011-02-02 02:43:01 <luke-jr> free != non-commercial
 388 2011-02-02 02:43:05 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, you can't sell freedom
 389 2011-02-02 02:43:15 <luke-jr> and Macs are significantly more proprietary than Intel/Windows
 390 2011-02-02 02:43:15 <MT`AwAy> (not that some haven't tried)
 391 2011-02-02 02:43:23 <luke-jr> MT`AwAy: you can sell free products.
 392 2011-02-02 02:43:58 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, give me the name of any company selling free products which became big enough to be considered a global company :)
 393 2011-02-02 02:44:59 <luke-jr> MT`AwAy: evil can always win over good when you evaluate ignoring good ☺
 394 2011-02-02 02:45:09 <MT`AwAy> anyway mac architecture is fully open, EFI and other things have published specs, and mac os is based on BSD. Apple contributes with stuff like webkit, has a lot of contributions to projects like gcc... I'd say they are way more "open" than, say, microsoft :p
 395 2011-02-02 02:45:27 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, good doesn't feed you, and being evil brings more girls :p
 396 2011-02-02 02:46:15 <luke-jr> robbing banks feeds you much cheaper
 397 2011-02-02 02:46:34 <luke-jr> Darwin is a CLOSED fork of BSD
 398 2011-02-02 02:46:37 <andrew12^mac> wtf
 399 2011-02-02 02:46:48 <luke-jr> Apple only "contributes" WebKit because they legally have to
 400 2011-02-02 02:46:54 <luke-jr> same w/ GCC
 401 2011-02-02 02:46:59 <ArtForz> and a EULA forbidding you from *running* osx on non-apple branded hardware
 402 2011-02-02 02:47:18 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, they "legally" have to?
 403 2011-02-02 02:47:35 <MT`AwAy> like, they legally had to release webkit in the first place?
 404 2011-02-02 02:47:49 <luke-jr> MT`AwAy: they legally had to release the source, since they released the binary
 405 2011-02-02 02:47:57 <andrew12^mac> why did g++ go to 79% ram and 1% cpu when it got to rpc.cpp?
 406 2011-02-02 02:48:05 <luke-jr> and when they did, they did it in a way that made it impossible to merge back into KHTML
 407 2011-02-02 02:48:15 <echelon> what's the current block?
 408 2011-02-02 02:48:20 <echelon> count
 409 2011-02-02 02:48:24 <ArtForz> not to mention macos really isn't based on BSD

 415 2011-02-02 02:48:39 <echelon> thanks
 416 2011-02-02 02:48:42 <ArtForz> it's a mach microkernel hacked to hell with a BSD personality on top
 417 2011-02-02 02:48:55 <andrew12^mac> thanks guys -_-
 418 2011-02-02 02:49:12 <echelon> 38032 to go -_-
 419 2011-02-02 02:49:57 <luke-jr> to put the nail in the contrast, Microsoft at least allows you to choose/build your hardware
 420 2011-02-02 02:50:02 <luke-jr> Apple forces you to buy it from them
 421 2011-02-02 02:50:07 <luke-jr> and has a very limited selection
 422 2011-02-02 02:50:30 <ArtForz> yep
 423 2011-02-02 02:51:01 <echelon> well that's how m$ can make a profit
 424 2011-02-02 02:51:31 <ArtForz> ?
 425 2011-02-02 02:51:37 <echelon> they don't have to worry about manufacturing so they just sell their licenses to vendors
 426 2011-02-02 02:51:52 <ArtForz> I really wonder why apple is *selling* osx
 427 2011-02-02 02:52:13 <echelon> osx is confined to apple hardware
 428 2011-02-02 02:52:16 <ArtForz> exactly
 429 2011-02-02 02:52:21 <echelon> ya
 430 2011-02-02 02:52:22 <echelon> hmm
 431 2011-02-02 02:52:22 <Kiba> well
 432 2011-02-02 02:52:27 <Kiba> very exciting day eh?
 433 2011-02-02 02:52:33 <ArtForz> = you have a $2000 dongle anyways
 434 2011-02-02 02:52:34 <MT`AwAy> Apple has probably no intention to care about drivers for just any hardware which just cause instability and require a lot more work, instead they decided to limit the scope of usable hardware, I see no problem in this kind of choices
 435 2011-02-02 02:53:30 <Necr0s> echelon, I beg to differ.  ;)
 436 2011-02-02 02:53:48 <echelon> :P
 437 2011-02-02 02:53:56 andrew12^mac has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
 438 2011-02-02 02:54:06 <MT`AwAy> anyway apple and microsoft both have a way to do thing I don't like
 439 2011-02-02 02:54:10 <ArtForz> so?
 440 2011-02-02 02:54:13 <Kiba> The Iphone is going to get smushed by android!
 441 2011-02-02 02:54:17 <MT`AwAy> I'll release my own proprietary OS if I ever get the time to finish it
 442 2011-02-02 02:54:54 <Necr0s> I've ended up running OS X on my desktop, Win7 on my HTPC, and Ubuntu on my servers.
 443 2011-02-02 02:54:57 prax has joined
 444 2011-02-02 02:54:59 <Necr0s> Whatever gets the job done, I say.
 445 2011-02-02 02:55:30 <ArtForz> so to avoid hardware/driver problems, they *forbid users from running their software on non-approved devices*
 446 2011-02-02 02:55:46 <ArtForz> it's simply to avoid another clone disaster
 447 2011-02-02 02:55:46 <MT`AwAy> ArtForz, apple targets computer illetrates
 448 2011-02-02 02:56:03 <Necr0s> I need to get cygwin installed and sshd going on win7 now.
 449 2011-02-02 02:56:06 <ArtForz> = they're still a hardware company
 450 2011-02-02 02:56:27 <Necr0s> Man, you would be amazed at the number of so-called illeterates out ther.
 451 2011-02-02 02:56:39 <Kiba> ?
 452 2011-02-02 02:56:48 <Necr0s> I would say that for WELL over half of the users out there, installing a program is beyond their capabilities.
 453 2011-02-02 02:57:32 <newsham> i doubt android will smush iphone
 454 2011-02-02 02:57:39 <newsham> i think they'll both have large market shares
 455 2011-02-02 02:57:48 <Necr0s> Installing a program in iPhone, sure, but not on a desktop OS.
 456 2011-02-02 02:58:27 <ArtForz> iirc android already passed iphone marketshare by quite a bit
 457 2011-02-02 02:58:27 <Necr0s> Speaking of iPhone, has there been anything done in the way of bitcoin support on iOS?
 458 2011-02-02 02:59:11 <Necr0s> Like say a simple app for connecting to a remote wallet and checking it's balance, and sending payments.
 459 2011-02-02 02:59:21 <doublec> not that I'm aware of
 460 2011-02-02 02:59:23 <Kiba> newsham: Android is top dog
 461 2011-02-02 02:59:24 <Necr0s> yhmm
 462 2011-02-02 02:59:56 <newsham> kiba: with a succinct and well reasoned argument like that I really dont know what to say.
 463 2011-02-02 03:00:52 <MT`AwAy> what people choose and what is better, that's two different (and sometimes opposite) notions
 464 2011-02-02 03:00:56 <ArtForz> how about "paying $299 to be able to actually run your software on your own device is a fucking joke"

 469 2011-02-02 03:03:06 <Kiba> 32.9% of the marketshare
 470 2011-02-02 03:03:11 <Kiba> yeah baby!
 471 2011-02-02 03:03:15 <Kiba> go open source!
 472 2011-02-02 03:03:39 <ArtForz> ~310Mh
 473 2011-02-02 03:03:49 <ArtForz> well, at least theoretically
 474 2011-02-02 03:04:10 <ArtForz> prcatically you have to use SDK2.3 for 69xx, which sucks for OpenCL
 475 2011-02-02 03:04:20 <presence> hmm, odd is the 6970 not 2x 6870?
 476 2011-02-02 03:04:25 <ArtForz> no
 477 2011-02-02 03:04:36 <ArtForz> ati did a name swaparoo
 478 2011-02-02 03:04:40 <Necr0s> presence: http://pastebin.com/AvymGnMJ
 479 2011-02-02 03:04:42 <presence> no consistency in model numbering
 480 2011-02-02 03:04:44 <presence> lame!!!
 481 2011-02-02 03:04:47 <ArtForz> 68xx is between 57xx and 58xx
 482 2011-02-02 03:04:57 <ArtForz> 69xx is a bit above it's 58xx equivalent
 483 2011-02-02 03:04:59 <Necr0s> A 5970 is the top card right now.
 484 2011-02-02 03:05:03 <Necr0s> for mining
 485 2011-02-02 03:05:05 <ArtForz> 5970 successor will be 6990
 486 2011-02-02 03:05:15 <luke-jr> MT`AwAy: I understand there are very good reasons for a driver certification process, but legal action to prevent your customers from doing as they wish?
 487 2011-02-02 03:05:24 <Necr0s> Ppl speculate that it can't be a whole lot faster.
 488 2011-02-02 03:05:56 <presence> you cant find a 5970 anywhere
 489 2011-02-02 03:05:56 <ArtForz> Necr0s: I created that list
 490 2011-02-02 03:05:58 <Necr0s> 'cus the 5970 already consumes the maximum 300W allowed by the PCIe spec, so any gains will have to come from something other than throwing more watts and chips at the problem.
 491 2011-02-02 03:06:08 <Necr0s> Cool.  It's been quite handy.
 492 2011-02-02 03:06:08 <ArtForz> which will be a problem for 6990
 493 2011-02-02 03:06:23 <ArtForz> 6950/70 is less efficient than 5850/70 for mining
 494 2011-02-02 03:06:26 <Necr0s> I just got a 5970 from eGay.
 495 2011-02-02 03:06:44 <presence> why are your gtx260 numbers so low?
 496 2011-02-02 03:06:46 <luke-jr> Kiba: do you GPU mine?
 497 2011-02-02 03:06:53 <luke-jr> presence: because as usual nVidia SUCKS
 498 2011-02-02 03:07:05 <presence> No, I mean, I get 2x that on my 260s
 499 2011-02-02 03:07:12 <ArtForz> and rumor sys AMD used quite aggressive PowerTune limits to keep 6990 < 300W with relatively high clocks
 500 2011-02-02 03:07:20 <ArtForz> ?
 501 2011-02-02 03:07:29 <DiabloD3> heh, powertune is funny
 502 2011-02-02 03:07:39 <DiabloD3> they can shut off parts of the chip not in use
 503 2011-02-02 03:07:44 <presence> I get ~64M/sec on my gtx260s
 504 2011-02-02 03:07:53 <presence> two of them, same result
 505 2011-02-02 03:07:55 <Necr0s> Maybe there have been some optimizations in the software or drivers or other layers since that data was collected.
 506 2011-02-02 03:07:55 <ArtForz> thats... weird
 507 2011-02-02 03:07:55 <DiabloD3> like, arent using a lot of textures? texture units shut off or some shit
 508 2011-02-02 03:08:09 <ArtForz> 260s shouldnt be that fast
 509 2011-02-02 03:08:10 <presence> rpcminer-cuda.exe, no special parms
 510 2011-02-02 03:08:13 <presence> sorry
 511 2011-02-02 03:08:16 <presence> 460
 512 2011-02-02 03:08:16 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, the most obvious reason would be to avoid extra support cost. I'd guess Apple support only has diagnostic & resolution scenarii for Apple hardware. Anyway that's just speculations, only Apple really knows the end of the story
 513 2011-02-02 03:08:28 <presence> I looked in the wrong row
 514 2011-02-02 03:08:30 <presence> grr
 515 2011-02-02 03:08:37 <luke-jr> MT`AwAy: Apple provides support?
 516 2011-02-02 03:08:40 <presence> its close
 517 2011-02-02 03:09:03 <luke-jr> even if so, no reason they'd need to support non-Apple computers
 518 2011-02-02 03:09:07 <ArtForz> yeah
 519 2011-02-02 03:09:12 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, last time I had to call them to find what the fuck was wrong with a friend's computer, they did
 520 2011-02-02 03:09:28 <ArtForz> those numbers are mostly theoretical and using a older non-released version of my OpenCL miner
 521 2011-02-02 03:09:29 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, because customers are dumb and will not understand the difference
 522 2011-02-02 03:09:57 <DiabloD3> presence: its slower than my miner I bet
 523 2011-02-02 03:10:11 <presence> yours does java right?
 524 2011-02-02 03:10:16 <luke-jr> MT`AwAy: well, then they should at least put in the agreement that the *end user* can install it on other hardware legally, but they forfeit all support :P
 525 2011-02-02 03:10:20 <presence> I wouldnt mind trying it, but it wasn't working
 526 2011-02-02 03:10:33 <Necr0s> What does a miner spend 9x% of it's time doing?
 527 2011-02-02 03:10:43 <Necr0s> It's hashing I guess....SHA-1?
 528 2011-02-02 03:10:45 <ArtForz> nothing
 529 2011-02-02 03:10:50 <presence> sha256x2 :D
 530 2011-02-02 03:11:03 <ArtForz> GPU is busy doing double-sha256
 531 2011-02-02 03:11:11 <Necr0s> hmm
 532 2011-02-02 03:11:26 <ArtForz> meanwhile CPU sits there twiddling its thumbs
 533 2011-02-02 03:11:28 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, end users would still call and try to get help, and even if the support staff finally understands the situation, you already lost 10 minutes of a support employee trying to understand what a guy wants.
 534 2011-02-02 03:11:32 <Necr0s> Is there very much to them code-wise aside from the hashing itself and glue?
 535 2011-02-02 03:11:34 <presence> diablo: are there windows binaries for diablo?
 536 2011-02-02 03:11:40 <DiabloD3> presence: define "wasnt working"
 537 2011-02-02 03:11:45 <ArtForz> not that much
 538 2011-02-02 03:11:50 <presence> I couldnt get it working, java was being lame.
 539 2011-02-02 03:11:53 <MT`AwAy> luke-jr, anyway apple's offer makes sense and is perfect for some kind of people. Except those people are not us, so let's just not buy macs and be fine.
 540 2011-02-02 03:11:57 <Necr0s> Like in terms of an algorithm, use of the hashes...
 541 2011-02-02 03:12:06 <Necr0s> hmm
 542 2011-02-02 03:12:07 <ArtForz> my old OCL miner is ~550 lines of C
 543 2011-02-02 03:12:12 <presence> but I didnt attempt to compile from source...I have visual studio...but didnt wont to fight it
 544 2011-02-02 03:12:28 <DiabloD3> you dont have to compile from source, and you cant do it in visual studio anyhow
 545 2011-02-02 03:12:28 <DiabloD3> its java.
 546 2011-02-02 03:12:48 <DiabloD3> presence: what was the exact error? because it sounds like it was the famous "nvidia has shitty drivers" bug
 547 2011-02-02 03:13:06 <presence> it was 10 days ago
 548 2011-02-02 03:13:12 <presence> I can try again I guess
 549 2011-02-02 03:13:13 <Necr0s> I wonder if an FPGA or an array thereof would be any good at this hashing thing.
 550 2011-02-02 03:13:18 <presence> is github the only place to get it
 551 2011-02-02 03:13:22 <Necr0s> I'm guessing not as good as some of these GPUs.
 552 2011-02-02 03:13:24 <presence> or is there a zip of the stuff
 553 2011-02-02 03:13:37 <DiabloD3> presence: see the forum thread, I link to a zip there.
 554 2011-02-02 03:13:43 <ArtForz> Necr0s: did the math, efficiency-wise FPGA beats GPU by a nice margin
 555 2011-02-02 03:13:54 <presence> when I threw double sha256 on my fpga board I got about 10M/sec
 556 2011-02-02 03:13:58 <ArtForz> price/perf wise, lose. badly.
 557 2011-02-02 03:14:00 <Necr0s> heh
 558 2011-02-02 03:14:09 <ArtForz> what fpga board?
 559 2011-02-02 03:14:15 <presence> spartan 3
 560 2011-02-02 03:14:16 <Necr0s> I didn't have a specific one in mind.

 562 2011-02-02 03:14:21 <Necr0s> oh
 563 2011-02-02 03:14:28 <presence> it was ok
 564 2011-02-02 03:14:32 <ArtForz> sounds about right

 567 2011-02-02 03:14:45 <presence> 8w though :D
 568 2011-02-02 03:15:00 <ArtForz> a XC6SLX150 can get ~70Mh/s

 573 2011-02-02 03:15:28 <presence> thats #$200 or so each
 574 2011-02-02 03:15:32 <DiabloD3> presence: you have to use 260.x or later on nvidia, btw

 580 2011-02-02 03:16:13 <DiabloD3> presence: yes, so you should have zero problem

 586 2011-02-02 03:17:52 <ArtForz> but even with a decent run of custom boards you're stil looking at price/perf worse than 5970 by a factor of > 3
 587 2011-02-02 03:18:12 <presence> it will only be worthwhile with a huge farm

 591 2011-02-02 03:19:29 <ArtForz> did a few tests on various archs, S6 is about as good as it gets for efficiency and price/perf

 621 2011-02-02 03:27:11 <presence> but Ill check the forum
 622 2011-02-02 03:27:26 <DiabloD3> so, you'd use twitter over the official thread I started on the official bitcoin forums?
 623 2011-02-02 03:27:30 * DiabloD3 is very confused
 624 2011-02-02 03:27:42 <presence> I did a google search and picked the first one :D
 625 2011-02-02 03:27:58 * DiabloD3 should DMCA twitter and google. Or something.
 626 2011-02-02 03:28:19 <DiabloD3> huh, I type diablominer into google, I get the github url first, the fourm thread second
 627 2011-02-02 03:29:27 <ArtForz> I get forum thread first, forum print page second, github third

 639 2011-02-02 03:31:41 <DiabloD3> presence: use -f 1000
 640 2011-02-02 03:31:41 <presence> and it gets ~30Mh/s less :(
 641 2011-02-02 03:31:49 <presence> ok the cli?
 642 2011-02-02 03:31:55 <DiabloD3> yes, add it to the end
 643 2011-02-02 03:32:04 <DiabloD3> nvidia's drivers are so shitty, opencl apps rape your desktop performance
 644 2011-02-02 03:32:07 <DiabloD3> dont like it? buy ati.

 648 2011-02-02 03:33:01 <DiabloD3> presence: btw, try fudging with -w... as far as I know, it does nothing on nvidia, and it needs to be a multiple of 32
 649 2011-02-02 03:33:15 <DiabloD3> presence: btw, what card do you have?
 650 2011-02-02 03:33:53 <newsham> dont diablo w/ teh nvidias
 651 2011-02-02 03:34:13 <DiabloD3> newsham: well, for a lot of people, art's kernel on my miner is now the fastest thing out
 652 2011-02-02 03:34:14 <presence> I have 2x gtx260
 653 2011-02-02 03:34:26 <DiabloD3> presence: what speed do you get with mine after a few minutes?
 654 2011-02-02 03:34:48 <presence> Let me let it run...but it honestly makes the windows ui unresponsive
 655 2011-02-02 03:34:58 <DiabloD3> yeah, -f 1000 really should help
 656 2011-02-02 03:35:08 <presence> I added it...same problem.
 657 2011-02-02 03:35:15 <newsham> how do i use arts kernel on your iner for my nvidia card?
 658 2011-02-02 03:35:17 <DiabloD3> but nvidia, and especially nvidia on windows, is broken. Im surprised no one has started a class action suite against nvidia
 659 2011-02-02 03:35:17 <presence> unless it has to appear in front of -u
 660 2011-02-02 03:35:25 <DiabloD3> newsham: use the newest version
 661 2011-02-02 03:35:34 <DiabloD3> presence: nope, its not sensitive
 662 2011-02-02 03:35:50 <presence> even using irc is greatly lagged...like back in the 1200bps days
 663 2011-02-02 03:35:52 <DiabloD3> newsham: I dropped a hacked up m0 kernel for a hacked up art kernel :D
 664 2011-02-02 03:35:59 <DiabloD3> presence: yeah, somehow Im not doubting that
 665 2011-02-02 03:36:06 <DiabloD3> presence: nvidia does not care about customers
 666 2011-02-02 03:36:13 <presence> rpcminer-cude doesnt cause the lag
 667 2011-02-02 03:36:24 <DiabloD3> rpcminer-cuda doesnt try stuffing the cards either
 668 2011-02-02 03:36:34 <presence> I can tell you that nvidia has shit drivers
 669 2011-02-02 03:36:42 <presence> because my teslas should be awesome at this
 670 2011-02-02 03:36:50 <presence> and they suck ass
 671 2011-02-02 03:36:59 <DiabloD3> btw, if my math is right, two GTX260 should give you about 70 mhash/sec
 672 2011-02-02 03:37:14 <ArtForz> I tink he said they're 460s
 673 2011-02-02 03:37:16 <presence> with rpcminer-cuda.exe I get ~64M/sec each
 674 2011-02-02 03:37:25 <presence> they are gtx460
 675 2011-02-02 03:37:26 <DiabloD3> [10:28:33] <presence> I have 2x gtx260
 676 2011-02-02 03:37:35 <presence> yeah
 677 2011-02-02 03:37:47 <DiabloD3> so is it 260 or 460?
 678 2011-02-02 03:37:48 <presence> I keep saying 260, but I mean 460
 679 2011-02-02 03:38:00 <DiabloD3> you should be getting 136

 688 2011-02-02 03:39:04 <presence> sorry about the block paste
 689 2011-02-02 03:39:32 <presence> ok it isnt as laggy with w 32
 690 2011-02-02 03:40:08 <presence> ~81M
 691 2011-02-02 03:40:23 <presence> its slowly ramping up about 6 khash/s every second or so
 692 2011-02-02 03:43:30 <DiabloD3> what did it max out at?
 693 2011-02-02 03:43:42 <presence> ~82...Im up to 256 now
 694 2011-02-02 03:43:47 <presence> ~106 so far
 695 2011-02-02 03:44:24 <DiabloD3> -w shouldnt have much effect on nvidia
 696 2011-02-02 03:44:28 <DiabloD3> their whole design is wrong
 697 2011-02-02 03:44:36 <presence> its making a diff
 698 2011-02-02 03:44:50 <DiabloD3> but Im surprised -w 32 makes the UI responsiveness better
 699 2011-02-02 03:44:51 <presence> went up about 20M from -w 32 to -w 128
 700 2011-02-02 03:45:05 <presence> -w 384 makes the ui sloggy again
 701 2011-02-02 03:45:13 <presence> and adds no extra power
 702 2011-02-02 03:45:19 <presence> well no more khash/s
 703 2011-02-02 03:45:41 <DiabloD3> Im surprised, though, the cuda miner is doing that much better
 704 2011-02-02 03:45:52 <DiabloD3> nvidia must have intentionally broken their opencl compiler
 705 2011-02-02 03:46:00 <presence> its about 28M better
 706 2011-02-02 03:46:37 <ArtForz> yup, nvidiots openCL compiler is very--- unoptimized
 707 2011-02-02 03:46:55 <DiabloD3> that make the cuda miner, which is probably very badly designed, 26% faster
 708 2011-02-02 03:46:58 <DiabloD3> thats kind of scary
 709 2011-02-02 03:46:59 <presence> first to market last to fix
 710 2011-02-02 03:47:01 <DiabloD3> Im glad nvidia is going bankrupt
 711 2011-02-02 03:47:11 <DiabloD3> depends how you define "first to market"
 712 2011-02-02 03:47:28 <DiabloD3> they wernt the first with a massively parallel computation arch, nor the first with a opencl impl
 713 2011-02-02 03:47:41 <presence> well as far as I know (and I may be wrong, Im not on the inside) they came to the curb with gpu+cudalike first
 714 2011-02-02 03:48:00 <DiabloD3> they were the first with a computing gpu, but not one with opencl
 715 2011-02-02 03:48:10 <DiabloD3> thats like handing someone a car, but not the keys.
 716 2011-02-02 03:48:14 <presence> but did others package opencl with their driver set?
 717 2011-02-02 03:48:14 <ArtForz> andd iirc ATI also had a GPGPU framework pretty early
 718 2011-02-02 03:48:22 <ArtForz> remember Brook+ ?
 719 2011-02-02 03:48:34 <DiabloD3> ATI came out with theirs slightly after CUDA came out
 720 2011-02-02 03:48:37 theymos has joined
 721 2011-02-02 03:48:41 <DiabloD3> and it was just as shitty
 722 2011-02-02 03:48:41 <presence> I have to say, the last several nvidia drivers have been ASS
 723 2011-02-02 03:48:45 <DiabloD3> ATI had OpenCL drivers first, though
 724 2011-02-02 03:48:51 <ArtForz> yep
 725 2011-02-02 03:48:57 <DiabloD3> by like 9 months
 726 2011-02-02 03:49:15 <DiabloD3> and Apple had OpenCL shit in a developer release of snow leopard before ATI had theirs out
 727 2011-02-02 03:49:32 <presence> on my two machines that have sli here the drivers ass up, and harass me every 2 minutes with "recovered" when they never really have, and I cant do anything but watch a screen flash until I reboot
 728 2011-02-02 03:49:42 <DiabloD3> eww
 729 2011-02-02 03:49:52 <presence> it doesnt happen all the time
 730 2011-02-02 03:50:02 <presence> but it tends to happen when Im deving which is the WORST possible time.
 731 2011-02-02 03:50:05 <ArtForz> "only when the computer is on" :P
 732 2011-02-02 03:50:23 <presence> nothing like editing a huge python script on a remote host when your desktop video gets assed up
 733 2011-02-02 03:50:28 <DiabloD3> presence: well, buying just a radeon 5770 would put you ahead
 734 2011-02-02 03:50:30 <DiabloD3> and those are really cheap
 735 2011-02-02 03:50:39 <presence> Well, I want to buy one card
 736 2011-02-02 03:50:52 <presence> because power consumption in this sli setup is brutal
 737 2011-02-02 03:51:02 <DiabloD3> I can imagine
 738 2011-02-02 03:51:06 <ArtForz> lol
 739 2011-02-02 03:51:13 <presence> just running the miners increases my power usage by 292W
 740 2011-02-02 03:51:24 <presence> idle Im at 168W
 741 2011-02-02 03:51:27 <DiabloD3> a gtx460 is 150 watts each
 742 2011-02-02 03:51:32 <ArtForz> so?
 743 2011-02-02 03:51:34 <presence> with mining its 460W :D
 744 2011-02-02 03:51:47 <presence> not that its a huge deal because its still a net win
 745 2011-02-02 03:51:53 <ArtForz> a 5970 is 300W a pop :P
 746 2011-02-02 03:52:02 <presence> but Im guessing that with a better card I use the same power and push more hashes
 747 2011-02-02 03:52:04 <DiabloD3> so thats 300 watts for... what a 5770 does in 108 watts
 748 2011-02-02 03:52:18 <ArtForz> 5770 is a bit faster
 749 2011-02-02 03:52:30 <DiabloD3> 13x vs 15x
 750 2011-02-02 03:52:34 <ArtForz> shoudl be getting ~160 Mhps with your new miner
 751 2011-02-02 03:52:36 <DiabloD3> its the closest comparison
 752 2011-02-02 03:52:53 <DiabloD3> still, 5770 is the smallest card worth buying
 753 2011-02-02 03:53:06 <ArtForz> yup
 754 2011-02-02 03:53:10 <presence> Well, if Im buying something why not buy something bigger and better
 755 2011-02-02 03:53:20 <DiabloD3> presence: oh, and on 3D, the 5770 _could_ be a tiny bit slower, but nvidia sli is so badly designed that its probably about the same
 756 2011-02-02 03:53:32 <ArtForz> unless you get a good deal on a 5850
 757 2011-02-02 03:53:45 <DiabloD3> 1800 gflops vs 5770's 1360
 758 2011-02-02 03:53:58 <echelon> finally got my payment after 5 days -___-
 759 2011-02-02 03:54:07 <DiabloD3> but SLI will easily cost you that lead on a lot of games
 760 2011-02-02 03:54:33 <lfm> echelon so reloading block files helped finally?

 773 2011-02-02 03:55:54 <presence> I thought they said no
 774 2011-02-02 03:55:56 <ArtForz> xfire is supported on pretty much anything
 775 2011-02-02 03:55:58 <DiabloD3> presence: xfire and sli are the same thing... its just multiple pci-e x16 slots
 776 2011-02-02 03:56:00 <presence> Supports ATI Quad-GPU CrossFireX Technology
 777 2011-02-02 03:56:07 <lfm> you dont actually need xfire. run cards separately
 778 2011-02-02 03:56:14 <presence> I do if I also game with them
 779 2011-02-02 03:56:21 <DiabloD3> no, you just buy a bigger card
 780 2011-02-02 03:56:21 <ArtForz> except nvidia cripples SLI
 781 2011-02-02 03:56:26 <DiabloD3> single gpu always wins
 782 2011-02-02 03:56:30 <presence> this is my point
 783 2011-02-02 03:56:33 <presence> thus the 5970
 784 2011-02-02 03:56:42 <presence> BUT, I dont like spending $600 on ebay stuff
 785 2011-02-02 03:56:46 <DiabloD3> 5970 is two gpus
 786 2011-02-02 03:56:47 <presence> soooo...I need to go elsewhere
 787 2011-02-02 03:56:54 <luke-jr> presence: NewEgg has them for $600
 788 2011-02-02 03:56:56 <presence> its two in one box right
 789 2011-02-02 03:57:02 <DiabloD3> yeah, but it has internal crossfire
 790 2011-02-02 03:57:07 <ArtForz> yup
 791 2011-02-02 03:57:08 <presence> actually they dont luke
 792 2011-02-02 03:57:12 <DiabloD3> which has to be disabled, and cant be afaik on windows
 793 2011-02-02 03:57:12 <luke-jr> no?
 794 2011-02-02 03:57:15 <luke-jr> they did a week ago
 795 2011-02-02 03:57:25 <presence> they have a 5970 for $1k
 796 2011-02-02 03:57:50 <presence> so lets assume I get 1 new ATI card
 797 2011-02-02 03:57:58 <presence> I will throw these gtxs in my kids machine
 798 2011-02-02 03:58:07 <presence> whats the most reasonable ati card to get?
 799 2011-02-02 03:58:12 <presence> the 5870?  5770?
 800 2011-02-02 03:58:17 <DiabloD3> well, lets say you want 2x the performance you have now
 801 2011-02-02 03:58:20 <DiabloD3> to make the upgrade worth it
 802 2011-02-02 03:58:42 <ArtForz> how bout 6950 1GB ?
 803 2011-02-02 03:58:45 <luke-jr> holy crap, NewEgg *did* raise the price
 804 2011-02-02 03:58:55 <DiabloD3> that'd be a 6870 or a 5870 or any of the 69xx cards
 805 2011-02-02 03:59:22 <presence> the 6970 does about 300M/s?
 806 2011-02-02 03:59:30 <presence> and is around $400
 807 2011-02-02 03:59:52 <ArtForz> 6950 does ~260
 808 2011-02-02 03:59:53 <DiabloD3> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102883
 809 2011-02-02 04:00:07 <DiabloD3> 5870 does around 314
 810 2011-02-02 04:00:11 <ArtForz> yup
 811 2011-02-02 04:00:25 <presence> and how many watts does this thing suck?
 812 2011-02-02 04:00:27 <DiabloD3> but its about 25% slower on 3D than the 6970
 813 2011-02-02 04:00:37 <luke-jr> weird, my system is very laggy right now
 814 2011-02-02 04:00:39 <ArtForz> about 190W
 815 2011-02-02 04:00:42 <DiabloD3> 188 max
 816 2011-02-02 04:00:45 <DiabloD3> idles at 27
 817 2011-02-02 04:00:54 <presence> so still much much less
 818 2011-02-02 04:00:54 <DiabloD3> it idles at about a third of what your two gtx 460s do
 819 2011-02-02 04:01:17 <DiabloD3> yeah, 2x+ of the 3D performance, 3x of the miner performance, 2/3rds of the max power usage, and a third of the idle usage
 820 2011-02-02 04:01:27 <ArtForz> yup

 823 2011-02-02 04:02:19 <ArtForz> 6970 is imo overpriced
 824 2011-02-02 04:02:20 <presence> I need this to drive a 30" monitor as well, but that shouldnt be a challenge
 825 2011-02-02 04:02:27 <DiabloD3> 69xx is veyr overpriced
 826 2011-02-02 04:02:53 <DiabloD3> presence: 6970 is about 25% faster in 3D than 5870, mines, eh, a tiny bit slower
 827 2011-02-02 04:02:56 <ArtForz> well, the 1GB 6950s are decent
 828 2011-02-02 04:03:01 <DiabloD3> its not worth the huge price increase
 829 2011-02-02 04:03:12 <DiabloD3> I dont like how 69xx requires stream SDK 2.3
 830 2011-02-02 04:03:18 <ArtForz> unless you're planning on running crossfire
 831 2011-02-02 04:03:36 <presence> Well crossfire is better than running multiple machines right
 832 2011-02-02 04:03:40 <DiabloD3> presence: if I was mining and gaming, I'd buy the 5870 over the 6970
 833 2011-02-02 04:03:42 <presence> because I dont need the 100+W for the system
 834 2011-02-02 04:03:47 <DiabloD3> presence: no
 835 2011-02-02 04:03:49 <ArtForz> no, I mean crossfire for 3D mode
 836 2011-02-02 04:03:54 <DiabloD3> you have to disable crossfire for mining
 837 2011-02-02 04:03:59 <DiabloD3> which you cant do on windows
 838 2011-02-02 04:04:06 <presence> ok
 839 2011-02-02 04:04:17 <DiabloD3> all the multi-card miners in here (like art and his 24 5970s) use linux with crossfire off
 840 2011-02-02 04:04:28 <ArtForz> for mining, pretty much any mix of 57/8/9xx will do
 841 2011-02-02 04:04:39 <DiabloD3> presence: 68xx and 69xx have a very optimized crossfire mode, btw
 842 2011-02-02 04:04:52 <DiabloD3> presence: its basically zero performance loss on almost all games
 843 2011-02-02 04:04:58 <ArtForz> 69xx
 844 2011-02-02 04:05:05 <DiabloD3> I thought 68xx had it too?
 845 2011-02-02 04:05:07 <ArtForz> 68xx doesnt scale much better than 58xx
 846 2011-02-02 04:05:11 <DiabloD3> feh
 847 2011-02-02 04:05:18 <DiabloD3> either way, its impressive
 848 2011-02-02 04:05:22 <DiabloD3> but worthless for mining
 849 2011-02-02 04:05:31 <presence> but this 5870 is going to be better than my 2xgtx260
 850 2011-02-02 04:05:38 <DiabloD3> presence: yes by far
 851 2011-02-02 04:05:45 <presence> in every way, gaming and otherwise
 852 2011-02-02 04:05:47 <ArtForz> 460 I think
 853 2011-02-02 04:05:55 <presence> haha
 854 2011-02-02 04:05:57 <DiabloD3> like 6x mining performance per watt, 4 or 5x per watt in 3D
 855 2011-02-02 04:06:08 <presence> I need to get rid of them just so I stop mistyping them
 856 2011-02-02 04:06:12 <DiabloD3> yeah
 857 2011-02-02 04:06:14 <ArtForz> dual 460s... 5870... should be in the same ballpark for gaming
 858 2011-02-02 04:06:22 <DiabloD3> ArtForz: it doesnt look like it
 859 2011-02-02 04:06:26 <presence> and my kids get some 460s
 860 2011-02-02 04:06:35 <DiabloD3> ArtForz: look at the gflops performance
 861 2011-02-02 04:06:36 <DiabloD3> its horrid
 862 2011-02-02 04:06:40 <ArtForz> doesnt matter
 863 2011-02-02 04:06:47 <DiabloD3> 1800 gflops on dual 460, 1300 on a 5770
 864 2011-02-02 04:06:57 <presence> whats the benefit of going 2GB...for textures?
 865 2011-02-02 04:07:04 <ArtForz> yup
 866 2011-02-02 04:07:10 <DiabloD3> presence: yeah, only new games with shit cranked up to full will effectively use 2
 867 2011-02-02 04:07:13 <ArtForz> 58xx has crazy shader power but gets kinda meh framerates for it
 868 2011-02-02 04:07:27 <presence> I play black ops...and will be playing similar going forward
 869 2011-02-02 04:07:28 <ArtForz> oh, or high resolutions
 870 2011-02-02 04:07:37 <Guest5888> wow i havent paid attention to bitcoins in months... bitcoinmarket has the price at $0.55 now ?! time to sell all my "early adopter" coins!
 871 2011-02-02 04:07:49 Guest5888 is now known as topace___
 872 2011-02-02 04:07:57 <presence> Well I run currently windowed at 1680x1050
 873 2011-02-02 04:08:06 <newsham> guest: its 0.75 on mtgox
 874 2011-02-02 04:08:11 <noagendamarket> how many early adopter coins did you earn ?
 875 2011-02-02 04:08:32 <topace___> about 3000 :) i sold about 1000 when the price was at like.. $0.20
 876 2011-02-02 04:09:00 <lfm> topace___: check out mtgox.com
 877 2011-02-02 04:09:04 <noagendamarket> nice
 878 2011-02-02 04:11:48 <topace___> lfm: weird the price kinda went nuts just today on mtgox
 879 2011-02-02 04:12:00 <lfm> no kiddin
 880 2011-02-02 04:12:30 <presence> ok I ordered that 1G 5870
 881 2011-02-02 04:16:20 purpleposeidon has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
 882 2011-02-02 04:18:14 <newsham> yup, someone blew through the order book with a big buy
 883 2011-02-02 04:18:17 <newsham> yesterday
 884 2011-02-02 04:18:22 <newsham> all the way up to $0.95
 885 2011-02-02 04:18:24 <DiabloD3> ArtForz: btw, you were saying that 5870 should perform like his dual 460 in games?
 886 2011-02-02 04:18:30 <DiabloD3> thats bullshit
 887 2011-02-02 04:18:32 purpleposeidon has joined
 888 2011-02-02 04:18:36 <newsham> even before that, though..  50% appreciation in a months time.
 889 2011-02-02 04:18:43 <DiabloD3> there are games that get an extra 25% performance in nvidia sli
 890 2011-02-02 04:18:43 <newsham> bigtime BTC deflation..
 891 2011-02-02 04:18:55 <DiabloD3> the best game only does like 75% more on 2 cards
 892 2011-02-02 04:19:04 <DiabloD3> nvidia sli really rapes shit
 893 2011-02-02 04:19:10 <presence> so are you now telling me that my 5870 is going to suck compared to 2xgtx460 ? :D
 894 2011-02-02 04:19:23 <DiabloD3> presence: no, Im saying art's comparison is wrong
 895 2011-02-02 04:19:37 <DiabloD3> it should get a lot more 3D performance than your two 460s on most games
 896 2011-02-02 04:20:13 <DiabloD3> and it'll be doing it in far less power
 897 2011-02-02 04:21:52 <presence> Ill just mine on another machine :D
 898 2011-02-02 04:22:05 BitterTea has left ("Leaving")
 899 2011-02-02 04:22:12 <DiabloD3> heh
 900 2011-02-02 04:22:16 <DiabloD3> why mine on ANOTHER machine
 901 2011-02-02 04:22:18 <DiabloD3> mine on ALL machines!
 902 2011-02-02 04:22:45 <presence> I only have a few machines with gps worth bothering with
 903 2011-02-02 04:24:11 <DiabloD3> *gpus
 904 2011-02-02 04:24:36 <noagendamarket> if they have gps it would be easier to track if it gets stolen
 905 2011-02-02 04:24:49 <DiabloD3> hee
 906 2011-02-02 04:24:51 <noagendamarket> I have a kensington lock lol
 907 2011-02-02 04:25:09 <DiabloD3> I have a case that is like 60 pounds dry
 908 2011-02-02 04:26:58 <presence> I do gps code all day
 909 2011-02-02 04:27:02 <presence> so...
 910 2011-02-02 04:28:33 <andrew12^mac> hmm
 911 2011-02-02 04:28:38 <andrew12^mac> how does monitorrecieved work?
 912 2011-02-02 04:28:47 dwdollar has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
 913 2011-02-02 04:29:53 <necrodearia> like a slave?  command it to work and it will comply
 914 2011-02-02 04:30:00 <doublec> you tell bitcoind an address to monitor, and give it a URL that it will access when activity happens on that address
 915 2011-02-02 04:30:03 Shfork has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
 916 2011-02-02 04:30:08 <doublec> that URL receives a JSON-RPC call

 930 2011-02-02 04:32:22 <PLATO> technically
 931 2011-02-02 04:32:37 <andrew12^mac> http://bitcoin.it
 932 2011-02-02 04:32:39 <andrew12^mac> look around there
 933 2011-02-02 04:33:01 <PLATO> nice. i've explored some, i'll continue
 934 2011-02-02 04:34:46 <andrew12^mac> doublec: i tried running a tcp server that just echoes anything it recieves, and it hasn't done anything yet
 935 2011-02-02 04:35:30 <andrew12^mac> $ ./bitcoind listmonitored
 936 2011-02-02 04:35:30 <andrew12^mac> [
 937 2011-02-02 04:35:30 <andrew12^mac>     {

 940 2011-02-02 04:35:33 <andrew12^mac>     }
 941 2011-02-02 04:35:35 <andrew12^mac> ]
 942 2011-02-02 04:35:55 <newsham> andrew: what do you want the server to do?
 943 2011-02-02 04:36:25 <andrew12^mac> newsham: i honestly want gettransaction to work for any transaction id, whether it's mine or not
 944 2011-02-02 04:37:15 <doublec> it probably doesn't follow HTTP 300 changes
 945 2011-02-02 04:37:35 <doublec> http://localhost:5678 is probably redirecting to http://localhost:5678/
 946 2011-02-02 04:37:39 <andrew12^mac> well the server probably doesnt even work
 947 2011-02-02 04:37:57 <doublec> so it's not hitting your server at all?
 948 2011-02-02 04:38:23 <andrew12^mac> no
 949 2011-02-02 04:38:23 <andrew12^mac> my server
 950 2011-02-02 04:38:32 <andrew12^mac> like i think my little echo server isnt working
 951 2011-02-02 04:38:39 <doublec> you'll have to wait for a block to be processed by the network too
 952 2011-02-02 04:39:03 <theymos> It probably wouldn't be too hard to modify gettransaction to work for everything.
 953 2011-02-02 04:39:24 <andrew12^mac> theymos: do it! :p
 954 2011-02-02 04:39:39 <theymos> I have my block database, so I don't need it.
 955 2011-02-02 04:39:54 <presence> maybe Ill get that spartan 6 for the pop-11 implementation that newsh was trying to talk me into building :D
 956 2011-02-02 04:39:59 <doublec> andrew12^mac: what are you trying to do?
 957 2011-02-02 04:40:33 <andrew12^mac> doublec: make a graphviz digraph of the inputs of a transaction, and their inputs, etc
 958 2011-02-02 04:40:33 <andrew12^mac> \o/
 959 2011-02-02 04:40:36 <doublec> if you want every transaction can't you just use that half node thing someone pastebin'd  the other day?
 960 2011-02-02 04:40:58 <andrew12^mac> hm
 961 2011-02-02 04:41:00 <andrew12^mac> i guess that could work
 962 2011-02-02 04:41:06 <andrew12^mac> have it request the transaction from the node
 963 2011-02-02 04:41:15 * andrew12^mac scratches chin
 964 2011-02-02 04:43:21 <andrew12^mac> theymos: how does blockexplorer do it? :p
 965 2011-02-02 04:43:51 <theymos> I use getblock to put every transaction into a database.
 966 2011-02-02 04:44:18 <andrew12^mac> the getblock i have just gives me a tx id

 969 2011-02-02 04:44:47 <theymos> (Or getblockbynum -- I renamed mine to getblock)
 970 2011-02-02 04:45:40 <andrew12^mac> this one? http://yyz.us/bitcoin/patch.bitcoin-getblock
 971 2011-02-02 04:46:16 <theymos> Yes. You need to make modifications if you need precision, however, as that deals with double-precision numbers.
 972 2011-02-02 04:46:27 <andrew12^mac> I don't need precision
 973 2011-02-02 04:46:37 <andrew12^mac> I really just need the tx ids of the inputs :P
 974 2011-02-02 04:47:07 <andrew12^mac> it'd be cool if I had it so you could give it a block number and it would show you where the generated coins went
 975 2011-02-02 04:47:20 <andrew12^mac> (via graphviz of course)
 976 2011-02-02 04:48:16 <theymos> There's no objective way to graph that, since the coins are mixed when outputs are split.
 977 2011-02-02 04:48:44 <andrew12^mac> now here's the hard part: how do you use patches? :p
 978 2011-02-02 04:49:36 <Necr0s> I believe you use the 'patch' program.
 979 2011-02-02 04:49:53 <theymos> I just apply it manually. Remove the leading "+" signs with some regex. Paste the function somewhere near the top and the other three lines somewhere in those code sections.
 980 2011-02-02 04:50:07 <andrew12^mac> wrong! get apply
 981 2011-02-02 04:50:11 <andrew12^mac> git apply*
 982 2011-02-02 04:50:43 <theymos> "patch" is the traditional Unix command for applying patches.
 983 2011-02-02 04:50:51 <andrew12^mac> i know
 984 2011-02-02 04:51:23 <andrew12^mac> pasting the raw code is probably a good idea
 985 2011-02-02 04:51:26 <andrew12^mac> patch didnt work :p
 986 2011-02-02 04:51:48 <doublec> you probably need a -p 1 or something for patch

1052 2011-02-02 05:52:20 <Keefe> luke-jr: in other words, better systems have since supplanted it ;)
1053 2011-02-02 05:52:26 <Keefe> such as decimal and hex
1054 2011-02-02 05:52:37 <luke-jr> Keefe: Decimal is older than Tonal :p
1055 2011-02-02 05:52:55 <luke-jr> and hexadecimal isn't better.
1056 2011-02-02 05:53:00 <luke-jr> it's incomplete as a number system.
1057 2011-02-02 05:53:02 <Keefe> whatever. tonal certainly doesn't appear to have much following
1058 2011-02-02 05:53:05 <luke-jr> only useful for computers.
1059 2011-02-02 05:53:17 <luke-jr> Keefe: neither did SI at one time
1060 2011-02-02 05:53:36 <Keefe> there has to be a really good reason to consider a new number system
1061 2011-02-02 05:53:49 <luke-jr> why?
1062 2011-02-02 05:53:57 <Keefe> because decimal works great
1063 2011-02-02 05:54:01 <luke-jr> it really doesn't.
1064 2011-02-02 05:54:05 <Keefe> explain?
1065 2011-02-02 05:54:13 <luke-jr> SI has proven just how flawed decimal is, actually.
1066 2011-02-02 05:54:31 <luke-jr> Keefe: decimal is unnatural for humans to do practical things with
1067 2011-02-02 05:54:40 <luke-jr> the *only* thing natural to do with it is count your fingers
1068 2011-02-02 05:54:58 <luke-jr> decimal 10 is also an unfit point to divide/multiply units
1069 2011-02-02 05:55:15 <luke-jr> nobody uses the deca- prefix
1070 2011-02-02 05:55:36 <luke-jr> or even deci- AFAIK
1071 2011-02-02 05:55:41 <Keefe> cause maybe the others are sufficient?
1072 2011-02-02 05:56:01 <Kiba> flawed?
1073 2011-02-02 05:56:02 <theymos> Here's an interesting article about the advantages of hex: http://www.intuitor.com/hex/switch.html
1074 2011-02-02 05:56:02 <luke-jr> because 10 is too small for the division/multiplication
1075 2011-02-02 05:56:03 * Kiba shrugs
1076 2011-02-02 05:56:31 <luke-jr> people can just as easily use the 1 unit, or if it's larger, jump to the 100 unit
1077 2011-02-02 05:56:44 <Keefe> i don't get it. nothing hinders decimal multiplication and division
1078 2011-02-02 05:57:02 <luke-jr> Keefe: it's not about impossibility, it's about unnatural/difficulty
1079 2011-02-02 05:57:22 <presence> I dont know
1080 2011-02-02 05:57:27 <luke-jr> you don't *need* a tool to divide things into 16 pieces
1081 2011-02-02 05:57:32 <presence> moving the decimal point one left or right is pretty easy
1082 2011-02-02 05:57:33 <Keefe> what's unnatural/difficult is figuring out a new number system nobody grew up with and which there's almost no info online about
1083 2011-02-02 05:57:45 <luke-jr> presence: moving the tonal point one left or right is just as easy
1084 2011-02-02 05:57:57 <luke-jr> Keefe: my children grow up with Tonal ;)
1085 2011-02-02 05:57:58 <presence> I dont see tonal except for a music language
1086 2011-02-02 05:58:09 <luke-jr> presence: try Wikipedia or the book
1087 2011-02-02 05:58:15 <Keefe> it's like you're trying to persuade people to learn a new verbal/written language nobody else uses, just because you think it has a few advantages
1088 2011-02-02 05:58:26 <luke-jr> Keefe: never heard of Esperanto or Lojban, I presume?
1089 2011-02-02 05:58:35 <Keefe> i've heard, and don't see the point
1090 2011-02-02 05:58:38 <luke-jr> presence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonal_System  http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/tonal-system/10991090
1091 2011-02-02 05:58:45 <presence> Ive heard of speranto, but its pretty much dead
1092 2011-02-02 05:58:53 <luke-jr> Keefe: do you see the point of learning more than 1 language at all?
1093 2011-02-02 05:58:58 <Keefe> if i have to buy a book, forget it
1094 2011-02-02 05:58:59 <luke-jr> presence: Lojban probably killed it :p
1095 2011-02-02 05:59:00 <presence> it would be entirely dead if kirk wasnt around :D

1108 2011-02-02 06:01:39 mestar has joined
1109 2011-02-02 06:02:17 <presence> although dividing by 16  physically might not be difficult, it wouldnt be simple on paper with numbers
1110 2011-02-02 06:02:29 <luke-jr> presence: sure it is. just move the tonal point.
1111 2011-02-02 06:02:44 <Keefe> so you make /16 easy and /10 hard. what for?
1112 2011-02-02 06:03:08 <Keefe> why not 15? 17?
1113 2011-02-02 06:03:19 <theymos> You can do more halving.
1114 2011-02-02 06:03:22 <Necr0s> 16 is mroe orthogonal.
1115 2011-02-02 06:03:25 <Necr0s> yeah
1116 2011-02-02 06:03:29 <Necr0s> less prime, as it were.
1117 2011-02-02 06:03:30 <luke-jr> 888 (2184 decimal) ÷ 10 (16 decimal) = 88.8 (136.5 decimal)
1118 2011-02-02 06:03:32 <presence> so how do primes work :D
1119 2011-02-02 06:03:33 <presence> hehe
1120 2011-02-02 06:04:14 <luke-jr> Keefe: why would you need to divide by 5+5 anyway?
1121 2011-02-02 06:04:26 <theymos> I agree that hexadecimal would be better, but I'm not willing to re-learn math, and the Total characters/names are stupid.
1122 2011-02-02 06:04:32 <Keefe> why would i need to divide by 16?
1123 2011-02-02 06:05:05 <Keefe> so base-16 makes halving easier. still just as "hard" to divide by say 3
1124 2011-02-02 06:05:06 <luke-jr> Keefe: because dividing by 8+8 is a convenient spot for unit divisions, and also easy for humans to do
1125 2011-02-02 06:05:06 <presence> why tonal instead of octal
1126 2011-02-02 06:05:20 <Necr0s> Ever see the movie Cube?
1127 2011-02-02 06:05:23 <presence> keefe: and you have more numbers that are harder to divide by overall

1131 2011-02-02 06:05:50 <luke-jr> presence: octal is better than decimal, but the slight superiority of tonal over octal, is that numbers tend to get larger, and octal makes them take up more space on paper ;p
1132 2011-02-02 06:06:22 <luke-jr> also, octal-divided units would be even worse than decimal I suppose
1133 2011-02-02 06:06:33 <presence> but dividing by 3,5,6,7 is hard

1154 2011-02-02 06:08:46 <presence> smaller number systems mean less complicated dividing
1155 2011-02-02 06:08:54 <luke-jr> ok, tonal 10/3 is still repeating :P
1156 2011-02-02 06:08:57 <Keefe> LOL
1157 2011-02-02 06:08:59 <theymos> I wonder if it's possible to invent a number system that can divide everything easily. (Obviously changing more than just the base.)
1158 2011-02-02 06:09:01 <Keefe> like i said

1160 2011-02-02 06:09:12 <luke-jr> theymos: base 60 does that
1161 2011-02-02 06:09:13 <presence> binary division is always easy
1162 2011-02-02 06:09:22 <luke-jr> presence: binary division is painful with decimal
1163 2011-02-02 06:09:24 <presence> but you have 101232942098340 digits for larger calculations :D
1164 2011-02-02 06:09:29 <andrew12> presence: what's 0.1 in binary?
1165 2011-02-02 06:09:39 <presence> its 0.1 :D
1166 2011-02-02 06:09:41 <andrew12> (decimal -> binary
1167 2011-02-02 06:09:53 <luke-jr> presence: no
1168 2011-02-02 06:09:56 <andrew12> presence: pretty sure 0.1 in binary would be .5 in decimal
1169 2011-02-02 06:10:12 <luke-jr> 0.1 decimal is, in binary, 0.001100110011…
1170 2011-02-02 06:10:19 <andrew12> exactly
1171 2011-02-02 06:10:40 <andrew12> <presence> binary division is always easy
1172 2011-02-02 06:10:42 <luke-jr> and if you try to binary divide, for example, a decimal bitcoin (BTC), you can only do it 256 times
1173 2011-02-02 06:10:52 <presence> I cant imagine doing calculus or geometry in another number system at this point
1174 2011-02-02 06:11:31 * luke-jr isn't sure calculus or geometry are directly affected by a conversion to tonal

1178 2011-02-02 06:11:38 <Keefe> ease of translation to binary is what hex is for
1179 2011-02-02 06:11:43 <andrew12> presence: just do it in base 10 and then convert it to the fibonacci code or something
1180 2011-02-02 06:11:43 <luke-jr> the math is all the same
1181 2011-02-02 06:12:07 <Keefe> explain why tonal is better than well-known hex
1182 2011-02-02 06:12:12 <andrew12> i think numbers are stupid
1183 2011-02-02 06:12:16 <luke-jr> really, for most people it's probably just relearning multiplication tables and such
1184 2011-02-02 06:12:22 <luke-jr> Keefe: I did that earlier.
1185 2011-02-02 06:12:26 <andrew12> because if we had 2 fingers we'd be using base 2
1186 2011-02-02 06:12:39 <andrew12> if we had 100 fingers we'd be using base 100
1187 2011-02-02 06:12:40 <luke-jr> andrew12: I have 5 fingers per hand. Base 6 sounds ideal.

1190 2011-02-02 06:12:50 <Keefe> 21:57 < luke-jr> Tonal, which came 95 years before hexadecimal, is fully developed
1191 2011-02-02 06:12:58 <Keefe> that's not an explanation
1192 2011-02-02 06:13:02 <andrew12> luke-jr: we have 10 fingers, hence base 10
1193 2011-02-02 06:13:09 <luke-jr> Keefe: do I need to elaborate?
1194 2011-02-02 06:13:12 <Keefe> yes
1195 2011-02-02 06:13:14 <luke-jr> andrew12: we have 20 fingers+toes
1196 2011-02-02 06:13:22 <andrew12> toes arent relevent
1197 2011-02-02 06:13:27 <andrew12> you can't yount with your toes
1198 2011-02-02 06:13:32 <Keefe> because so far, tonal sounds like hex simply with different symbols for the 16 digits

1200 2011-02-02 06:13:41 <luke-jr> Keefe: hexadecimal does not define pronunciations, units of weight, measure, etc, unit prefixes/suffixes, etc etc

1202 2011-02-02 06:13:57 <luke-jr> andrew12: I can count better with my fingers in binary or base 6.
1203 2011-02-02 06:14:10 <andrew12> luke-jr: you cut off 4 of your fingers?
1204 2011-02-02 06:14:17 <luke-jr> andrew12: no, each finger is a digit.
1205 2011-02-02 06:14:25 <andrew12> it was a joke
1206 2011-02-02 06:14:33 <andrew12> derp
1207 2011-02-02 06:14:37 <luke-jr> I can count all the way to 1023 on my fingers.
1208 2011-02-02 06:15:50 <presence> but thats 2**x
1209 2011-02-02 06:15:55 <presence> not 16 :D

1216 2011-02-02 06:21:04 <andrew12> the world ended when it began

1218 2011-02-02 06:21:26 <luke-jr> as of yesterday, IANA no longer has any more IPv4 addresses to hand out
1219 2011-02-02 06:21:56 <luke-jr> why does HE say there's 5 more /8s?
1220 2011-02-02 06:21:58 <presence> its not like they handed out portable space anyway
1221 2011-02-02 06:22:19 <theymos> The last ones haven't been officially assigned yet, but by agreement they will be very soon.
1222 2011-02-02 06:22:59 <luke-jr> oh
1223 2011-02-02 06:23:45 <luke-jr> annoyingly, my IPv6 via HE went down for hours yesterday
1224 2011-02-02 06:23:50 <luke-jr> so I'm connected over v4 for once
1225 2011-02-02 06:24:23 <theymos> The switch will take a long time to complete fully. My ISP isn't planning to roll out IPv6 until Q4 of this year. My router firmware doesn't support IPv6, and I compiled my kernel without support.

1231 2011-02-02 06:29:20 <theymos> Not really. ARIN will still have addresses until sometime in 2012, probably. Then there will be a market among ISPs.
1232 2011-02-02 06:29:50 <luke-jr> just how long does it take them to disperse a /8?
1233 2011-02-02 06:30:51 <jgarzik> anybody looking for MTGOX-USD, in 1:1 exchange for PPUSD (you pay fees)?
1234 2011-02-02 06:31:07 <luke-jr> also, sad fact of reality: my ISP has *no plans* for IPv6 migration
1235 2011-02-02 06:31:17 <andrew12> luke-jr: same
1236 2011-02-02 06:31:20 <andrew12> at least i havent seen any

1238 2011-02-02 06:31:39 <luke-jr> jgarzik: I wouldn't mind the other direction… :p
1239 2011-02-02 06:36:39 <theymos> I can't find the stats, but ARIN goes through addresses quite slowly. The extra /8 they're going to get soon will give them a lot of extra time. Plus, they just got that Interop block back. (I haven't been paying attention to RIPE NCC and others, though.)

1327 2011-02-02 12:37:58 <sipa> but you can get more "unlucky" by not using a pool
1328 2011-02-02 12:38:24 <molecular> but still not as unlucky as just mining solo?
1329 2011-02-02 12:38:37 <molecular> are you sure it won't on average?
1330 2011-02-02 12:40:31 <sipa> pool: more steady income, but on average, slightly less (because of higher network delays, fee if you give one, ...)

1334 2011-02-02 12:43:01 <molecular> I have a question: I have very bad network connection: it changes IP every 1-2 hours and there's packet loss every now and then. Is it better for me to mine solo or in pool?
1335 2011-02-02 12:43:23 <molecular> In other words: if I getwork() now, will a block find based on that work still be valid in 5 minutes?

1337 2011-02-02 12:44:48 <sipa> it could still be valid

1345 2011-02-02 12:51:13 <sipa> it's as useful as the chance no next block was found by the network in between

1350 2011-02-02 12:58:02 <sipa> but i'm not sure miners keep working on a block for so long
1351 2011-02-02 12:58:18 <molecular> thanks, finally I put my question right and got an answer ;)
1352 2011-02-02 12:58:18 <sipa> since the nonce range can get exhausted
1353 2011-02-02 12:58:31 <sipa> at which point they need to receive a new getwork

1355 2011-02-02 12:58:54 <molecular> well, if bitcoin is "disconnected", will it still give me work?
1356 2011-02-02 12:59:02 <sipa> yes
1357 2011-02-02 12:59:15 <molecular> will it give me different work, though?
1358 2011-02-02 12:59:17 <sipa> yes
1359 2011-02-02 12:59:21 <molecular> very nice
1360 2011-02-02 12:59:29 <sipa> different coinbase, different timestamp
1361 2011-02-02 12:59:36 <molecular> so only net connection from miner to bitcoind needs to be good
1362 2011-02-02 13:00:23 <molecular> well, the coinbase wont change, since it's disconnected.
1363 2011-02-02 13:00:51 <molecular> will it generate new timestamps when disconnected?
1364 2011-02-02 13:03:13 <sipa> the coinbase also contains a random number
1365 2011-02-02 13:03:20 <sipa> which can change
1366 2011-02-02 13:03:34 <sipa> and if bitcoin is running, it will update that
1367 2011-02-02 13:03:53 <sipa> and the timestamp is just based on your own hardware clock, so it keeps ticking even when disconnected

1372 2011-02-02 13:17:41 <slush> there is condition on the top of getwork(), if bitcoin is connected
1373 2011-02-02 13:18:10 <sipa> really?
1374 2011-02-02 13:18:32 <slush> yes
1375 2011-02-02 13:18:37 <sipa> but it may not know it is disconnected
1376 2011-02-02 13:18:53 <sipa> tcp connections can die without both sides knowing it

1380 2011-02-02 13:30:41 <slush> molecular: pool does not care if you change IP frequently
1381 2011-02-02 13:30:49 <slush> molecular: but packetloss is a problem

1415 2011-02-02 14:39:09 <cosurgi> slush: I had no block for a week (avg time 1day 10h) so I gae up and joined the pool, to have at least some reward. And imagine - it's second week passing, and still no block! But 40 BTC per day.
1416 2011-02-02 14:39:19 <cosurgi> /gae/gave/
1417 2011-02-02 14:39:48 <cosurgi> I have no idea what's wrong with me, but I'm very unlucky here :)
1418 2011-02-02 14:40:02 <cosurgi> maybe it's not bad, I am using this luck somewhere else right now :)
1419 2011-02-02 14:42:34 <slush> cosurgi: you see that probability is the bitch :)
1420 2011-02-02 14:43:20 <slush> there are people with cpus who find a block in few days
1421 2011-02-02 14:45:32 <cosurgi> wow
1422 2011-02-02 14:46:56 <cosurgi> so I suppose that I'll stay in the pool until my PCs will die. One of the is rebooting once per week, btw. But I keep it running. No idea what's wrong with it, maybe PSU.
1423 2011-02-02 14:47:17 <cosurgi> *one of them
1424 2011-02-02 14:48:19 <cosurgi> I love the graphs
1425 2011-02-02 14:48:30 <cosurgi> 7 day moving avg is great :)

1429 2011-02-02 14:51:25 <Keefe> if you get 12000 people together mining with one average cpu each, probably one of them is going to find a full block in the first couple hours
1430 2011-02-02 14:52:00 <slush> cosurgi: CDF is generated online
1431 2011-02-02 14:52:08 <cosurgi> nice :)
1432 2011-02-02 14:52:28 <Keefe> so when someone says there's no point mining with a cpu on their own, just think, you might be that lucky to be the one in 12000 to get a block in a couple hours :)
1433 2011-02-02 14:54:05 <cosurgi> and later no block for a year ;)

1447 2011-02-02 15:12:57 <gribble> No fancy GPU farm, and don't want to wait for months for a block gen? Join the mining pool! http://mining.bitcoin.cz/
1448 2011-02-02 15:13:20 <fauxalliance> thanks nanotube
1449 2011-02-02 15:15:07 <fauxalliance> nanotube, a miner replaces the bitcoin app?
1450 2011-02-02 15:15:13 <fauxalliance> forgive my ignorance
1451 2011-02-02 15:15:26 <nanotube> well, bitcoin app manages your wallet. the miner mines. they do different things.
1452 2011-02-02 15:15:38 <nanotube> but in terms of coin generation, yes, miner replaces bitcoin app
1453 2011-02-02 15:16:07 <sipa> you can still run a client locally as well
1454 2011-02-02 15:16:14 <sipa> but that's independent really
1455 2011-02-02 15:16:29 <sipa> if you use the pool, you connect the miner to the pool instead
1456 2011-02-02 15:16:58 <fauxalliance> presumably authenticating with my receiving address ?
1457 2011-02-02 15:17:06 <sipa> no
1458 2011-02-02 15:17:11 <sipa> just a username/password
1459 2011-02-02 15:17:28 <fauxalliance> how are coins thus distributed to the contributers?
1460 2011-02-02 15:17:36 <sipa> it will keep a balance of what you've earned, and once it's enough, it's sent to an address you choose
1461 2011-02-02 15:18:31 <fauxalliance> ok.. so, I will need an account in the pool... or three CPU workers.. so three accounts i guess
1462 2011-02-02 15:19:47 <sipa> no
1463 2011-02-02 15:19:49 <sipa> one account
1464 2011-02-02 15:20:04 <sipa> you create 'workers' within your account on the pool
1465 2011-02-02 15:20:15 <fauxalliance> all clear... thanks
1466 2011-02-02 15:20:22 <sipa> each having a separate username/passwd, but under the same user account
1467 2011-02-02 15:20:40 <fauxalliance> anyone recommend a good miner for GNU/Linux
1468 2011-02-02 15:22:09 <sipa> there aren't that much options really
1469 2011-02-02 15:22:22 <sipa> jgarzic's cpu miner will do fine i think

1487 2011-02-02 16:32:09 <omglolbbq> so, i was thinking the other day, if bitcoin becomes popular, only a small percentage of people will generate since it's too hard to be profitable, and thats the only reason people would generate... when big companies/banks/govt get notice of bitcoin growing they will try to jump in with massive supercomputers, either, generating a lot of bitcoins or taking over the blockchain to get in control
1488 2011-02-02 16:32:27 <omglolbbq> somebody tell me there's something very impossible with this scenario please...

1551 2011-02-02 16:48:11 <SleepyMartian> If there are a bunch of large companies competing you'd still have the safety of the block chain.
1552 2011-02-02 16:48:12 <SleepyMartian> And considering Folding At Home's performance, a bunch of users with graphic cards can outpace a supercomputer easily.
1553 2011-02-02 16:48:30 <tcatm> Pretending the whole network was made of ATI GPUs and summing their GFLOPs we could easily get in top 10 at top500.org.
1554 2011-02-02 16:49:29 <sipa> what gflop/s does a 5970 have?
1555 2011-02-02 16:49:41 <tcatm> 2x 2320 according to wiki
1556 2011-02-02 16:49:47 <omglolbbq> SleepyMartian, well that may last for a bit, but they will realize this wont give them what they want, so they will start making deals and cooperate
1557 2011-02-02 16:49:48 <DiabloD3> yeah thats about right
1558 2011-02-02 16:49:57 <DiabloD3> however
1559 2011-02-02 16:50:00 <DiabloD3> we're not a supercomputer
1560 2011-02-02 16:50:26 <DiabloD3> otherwise walmart's inventory system (which its a shame to merely refer to it as such) would be #3.
1561 2011-02-02 16:50:34 <tcatm> Yep, but that doesn't really matter as the problem somewhat parallel
1562 2011-02-02 16:50:40 <tcatm> +is
1563 2011-02-02 16:51:17 <DiabloD3> I mean
1564 2011-02-02 16:51:20 <DiabloD3> we cant get on the list
1565 2011-02-02 16:51:24 <DiabloD3> _we're not a supercomputer_
1566 2011-02-02 16:51:44 <tcatm> no we can't, but those computers in that list can't overtake the blockchain in a short time

1576 2011-02-02 16:52:57 <sipa> at 170GH/s, or some 310 stock-frequency 5970's, we have 287 TFLOP/s at double precision, and 1438 TFLOP/s at single

1588 2011-02-02 16:55:32 <omglolbbq> tcatm, just saying that for a big company it wouldnt be a problem to make a supercomputer for the sole purpose of overtaking the blockchain
1589 2011-02-02 16:55:55 <omglolbbq> ofcourse they would get govt support and stuff so they can build it cheap
1590 2011-02-02 16:56:02 <sipa> not sure what you mean - i believe those flops numbers are based on some standard benchmarking test, which is on itself worthless for any real-world application since the percentages of particular instructions used differ
1591 2011-02-02 16:56:56 <DiabloD3> sipa: tesla does 1/2 sp for dp, normal geforce is 1/8, radeon 5xxx is 1/5, 69xx is 1/4
1592 2011-02-02 16:57:04 <DiabloD3> sipa: and there are cpus that are 1/1.

1596 2011-02-02 16:57:44 <DiabloD3> sipa: you cant directly solve our cluster's dp performance from just doing 1/5th.
1597 2011-02-02 16:57:49 <sipa> i didn't
1598 2011-02-02 16:58:10 <DiabloD3> you did
1599 2011-02-02 16:58:19 <DiabloD3> 1438/5 = 287
1600 2011-02-02 16:58:42 <sipa> that's correct, but it is not how i calculated it
1601 2011-02-02 16:58:49 <DiabloD3> not only that, this also implies there is some correlation between integer and float performance
1602 2011-02-02 16:58:51 <DiabloD3> which there is not
1603 2011-02-02 16:59:05 <sipa> i simply used numbers for the flops count of a 5970 from wikipedia for both sp and dp
1604 2011-02-02 16:59:08 <DiabloD3> _if_ we owned 310 5970s, yes, your number would be correct
1605 2011-02-02 16:59:15 <DiabloD3> sipa: yes, which is exactly what I said, 1/5th
1606 2011-02-02 16:59:34 <DiabloD3> cpus are going to have radically different ratios of numbers
1607 2011-02-02 16:59:38 <sipa> of course
1608 2011-02-02 16:59:42 <DiabloD3> ergo you cannot even very loosely guess
1609 2011-02-02 16:59:43 skeledrew1 has quit (Read error: Connection timed out)
1610 2011-02-02 16:59:58 <DiabloD3> your SP performance is too high, and the ratio of SP to DP performance is too low.
1611 2011-02-02 17:00:13 skeledrew has joined
1612 2011-02-02 17:00:14 <sipa> whatever
1613 2011-02-02 17:00:24 <DiabloD3> you're probably about 25% off in either direction
1614 2011-02-02 17:00:37 <sipa> i'd be glad if it were only 25%
1615 2011-02-02 17:01:00 <DiabloD3> I dont think there are enough cpu users anymore to offset that
1616 2011-02-02 17:01:02 <sipa> i was simply giving the numbers for 310 5970's
1617 2011-02-02 17:01:14 <DiabloD3> but the problem is
1618 2011-02-02 17:01:17 <DiabloD3> theres a lot of geforce users
1619 2011-02-02 17:01:21 <DiabloD3> which are actively skewing it
1620 2011-02-02 17:01:26 <DiabloD3> so your DP number is too good
1621 2011-02-02 17:01:33 <DiabloD3> it should be lower because of them
1622 2011-02-02 17:02:58 <SleepyMartian> How hard would it be to design an IC specifically for hashing?
1623 2011-02-02 17:03:19 <tcatm> SleepyMartian: ArtForz already did that
1624 2011-02-02 17:04:06 <SleepyMartian> I suppose the real difficult bit is mass producing it.
1625 2011-02-02 17:05:00 <tcatm> I think once you have a working prototype mass producing it should be simple.
1626 2011-02-02 17:06:57 <SleepyMartian> Don't you first have to work out how it will be put together layer by layer?
1627 2011-02-02 17:07:44 <sipa> ArtForz's IC is a structured asic, where the silicon layer is pre-made, and only the connections made between them is custom
1628 2011-02-02 17:08:09 <SleepyMartian> Ah, that is simpler.

1631 2011-02-02 17:08:40 <SleepyMartian> I wonder what kind of performance he's getting.

1646 2011-02-02 17:49:02 * jgarzik wonders if that's broken miners or cheaters.  probably broken miners.
1647 2011-02-02 17:49:04 <slush> so?

1744 2011-02-02 19:24:25 <Necr0s> Yea, my 5970 sounds like a jet engine running this thing.
1745 2011-02-02 19:24:45 <Necr0s> And it's in my living room (it does double duty as a HTPC).
1746 2011-02-02 19:25:10 <Necr0s> I'm now looking into 50ft HDMI cables and bluetooth keyboards and mice...
1747 2011-02-02 19:25:14 <presence> hmm Im getting stale hashes from the pool
1748 2011-02-02 19:25:26 <presence> stale blocks that is
1749 2011-02-02 19:26:30 <slush> presence: is it ok now?
1750 2011-02-02 19:26:40 <Necr0s> I would like to locate it in my server closet, which has it's own air conditioning.
1751 2011-02-02 19:27:04 <presence> I restarted the clients...still said stale, but let me submit another hash before I say
1752 2011-02-02 19:27:32 <presence> ok, got a true result on one miner
1753 2011-02-02 19:27:36 <slush> it looks fine for minute or so
1754 2011-02-02 19:27:38 <presence> I guess it recovered.
1755 2011-02-02 19:27:52 <slush> but there was some network outage, even ssh didn't work
1756 2011-02-02 19:28:13 <slush> but is back without any manual changes
1757 2011-02-02 19:28:26 <presence> ok
1758 2011-02-02 19:28:28 <Necr0s> I hate when that happens on remote hosts.
1759 2011-02-02 19:28:53 <citiz3n> Necr0s, i know a really good place for HDMI cables
1760 2011-02-02 19:29:12 <Necr0s> where's that?
1761 2011-02-02 19:29:17 <citiz3n> outdoorspeakerdepot.com
1762 2011-02-02 19:29:28 <citiz3n> i ordered a bunch from them - they are very good quality
1763 2011-02-02 19:29:36 <Necr0s> I'll check it out.  thx.
1764 2011-02-02 19:30:49 <luke-jr> also, does it hurt if I got blood on the Radeon?
1765 2011-02-02 19:31:08 <luke-jr> will it take control of my soul and become a Terminator?
1766 2011-02-02 19:31:59 <Necr0s> Seems plausible.
1767 2011-02-02 19:32:07 <citiz3n> $30 for a 50 foot there it seems
1768 2011-02-02 19:33:39 <Necr0s> That's pretty good.
1769 2011-02-02 19:33:46 <Necr0s> eGay has them for a bit less, but quality is unknown.

1802 2011-02-02 20:23:46 <slush> on pool?
1803 2011-02-02 20:26:04 <cosurgi> yeah
1804 2011-02-02 20:26:18 <cosurgi> two blocks right after our conversation
1805 2011-02-02 20:26:27 <EvanR-work> god dammit i never get a block
1806 2011-02-02 20:26:30 * EvanR-work waits
1807 2011-02-02 20:26:48 <cosurgi> but before: no blocks for two weeks. And I should be finding two blocks per three days.
1808 2011-02-02 20:27:13 <slush> EvanR-work: after few tens of found blocks, things become a little boring :)
1809 2011-02-02 20:27:37 <EvanR-work> lets hope so
1810 2011-02-02 20:27:47 <cosurgi> just a matter of switch from active waiting to passive wating :)
1811 2011-02-02 20:28:02 <EvanR-work> still nothing
1812 2011-02-02 20:28:06 <slush> :-D
1813 2011-02-02 20:28:09 <EvanR-work> ... still nothing

1818 2011-02-02 20:30:23 <Cusipzzz> wha? i did?
1819 2011-02-02 20:30:31 <EvanR-work> yes
1820 2011-02-02 20:30:44 <Cusipzzz> was i sober? :)
1821 2011-02-02 20:30:56 <EvanR-work> dunno
1822 2011-02-02 20:31:03 <Cusipzzz> ohh, you mean the part about slush stealing your monies? that was a joke o.O
1823 2011-02-02 20:31:33 <EvanR-work> you said maximize your throughput by avoiding network overhead and downtime
1824 2011-02-02 20:31:38 <EvanR-work> and donations ;)
1825 2011-02-02 20:32:13 <slush> Cusipzzz: you are cutting my donations by bad advices? You bastard! :-D
1826 2011-02-02 20:32:32 <Cusipzzz> i never said that!
1827 2011-02-02 20:32:42 <Cusipzzz> the donations part, anyway

1830 2011-02-02 20:33:42 <EvanR-work> i wish bitcoind would show me generate blocks with less than 120 confirmations
1831 2011-02-02 20:33:54 <Cusipzzz> i remember now, I said if you don't mind the variance, better to go on your own :), nothing more than that
1832 2011-02-02 20:34:45 <Cusipzzz> the variance makes it exciting..if you just get your 4.8 BTCs a day like clockwork, what fun is that? ;)
1833 2011-02-02 20:35:24 <EvanR-work> a lot of fun

2018 2011-02-02 22:13:42 <phantomcircuit> amd64 instructions are packed, so the only increase in memory usage comes from the actual increase in the size of the memory addresses
2019 2011-02-02 22:14:00 <luke-jr> my old CPU was plenty fast enough, but I had to upgrade due to memory shortage
2020 2011-02-02 22:14:04 <luke-jr> new CPU is like 10 times faster
2021 2011-02-02 22:14:56 <ArtForz> well, at least you can still upgrade memory :P
2022 2011-02-02 22:14:58 <phantomcircuit> almost all new systems come with significant amounts of ram

2024 2011-02-02 22:15:27 <andrew12^mac> why does bitcoind fork before it prints 'bitcoind server starting'

2066 2011-02-02 22:31:38 <Necr0s> Slow hard drives are what makes a system slow.
2067 2011-02-02 22:31:41 <luke-jr> on my old (64-bit) system, I had 2 GB RAM always occupied, plus 2-3 GB swapped away
2068 2011-02-02 22:32:00 <phantomcircuit> see im currently rebuilding an entire gentoo system in parallel  and only using 700MB of ram
2069 2011-02-02 22:32:28 <phantomcircuit> plus an additional 4GB of disk cache
2070 2011-02-02 22:32:28 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: that doesn't use RAM
2071 2011-02-02 22:32:43 <lyspooner> what's the loss of efficiency of slush's pool?  ie, if i were to generate on my own with no down time, how much more khash/s can i produce than if i were to pool it with slush?
2072 2011-02-02 22:32:48 <luke-jr> KDE and browsers and lots of GUI apps open, use RAM
2073 2011-02-02 22:32:49 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, go try and link webkit with < 4GB of ram, good luck with that
2074 2011-02-02 22:32:59 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: :)
2075 2011-02-02 22:33:05 <luke-jr> that's a one-time thing
2076 2011-02-02 22:33:21 <tcatm> work with large audiofiles or images and you can fill 8 GB of ram easily
2077 2011-02-02 22:33:22 <phantomcircuit> so what?
2078 2011-02-02 22:34:13 <presence> lyspoon: I havent noticed a difference
2079 2011-02-02 22:34:15 <phantomcircuit> either way using a 32 bit environment to save memory is pretty dumb, you're going to save maybe 5% off the size of the executable image
2080 2011-02-02 22:34:29 <phantomcircuit> which is almost certainly < 0.1% of the total memory consumption
2081 2011-02-02 22:34:39 <slush> lyspooner: it depends on many factors. Primary on your roundtrip to pool
2082 2011-02-02 22:35:30 <lyspooner> slush: how often are you down?
2083 2011-02-02 22:35:39 <slush> lyspooner: typically if you have roundtrip 40ms and you are asking for job every 5000ms, it is 40/5000 %
2084 2011-02-02 22:35:45 <slush> lyspooner: I have >99% uptime
2085 2011-02-02 22:36:02 <slush> but I had some troubles with network in last days
2086 2011-02-02 22:36:19 <slush> which is unfortunately something which I cannot handle with current protocol effectively
2087 2011-02-02 22:37:16 <slush> lyspooner: but afaik, for example Diablo is performing getwork before nonce is out of range, so it improve things a lot

2136 2011-02-02 23:17:02 <andrew12^mac> or what s_port.c_str()+1 means
2137 2011-02-02 23:18:10 <sipa> atoi converts from native byteorder to network byteorder
2138 2011-02-02 23:18:16 <sipa> oh wait
2139 2011-02-02 23:18:23 <sipa> from string to int
2140 2011-02-02 23:18:43 <sipa> so it skips the first
2141 2011-02-02 23:18:47 <andrew12^mac> i might need '/'
2142 2011-02-02 23:19:08 <x6763> a(scii) to i(nt)
2143 2011-02-02 23:19:54 <sipa> andrew12^mac: if s_port.c_str() is ":8333", s_port.c_str()+1 is "8333", and atoi of it is 8333
2144 2011-02-02 23:20:13 <x6763> the ? and : thing is called the ternary operator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_operation
2145 2011-02-02 23:20:42 <sipa> it's an inline if-then-else
2146 2011-02-02 23:21:26 <newsham> god forbid the code read like it was meant (ie. parseint(skipcolon(s_port))).
2147 2011-02-02 23:22:19 <andrew12^mac> yeah i needed the /

2179 2011-02-02 23:36:47 <bk128> so i know there's a link for the gpu client in the MOTD, but does anyone have a more direct link to the actual client download?  I tried sifting through that thread but couldn't find it
2180 2011-02-02 23:37:10 <andrew12^mac> bk128: there's more than one gpu client
2181 2011-02-02 23:37:21 <andrew12^mac> well
2182 2011-02-02 23:37:22 <bk128> which one is recommended for macs?
2183 2011-02-02 23:37:31 <davout> gavinandresen: ping
2184 2011-02-02 23:37:32 <sipa> slush: i modified diablo's miner to show rejected shares too, and seems there are quite a lot of rejected ones from our 5970
2185 2011-02-02 23:37:44 <andrew12^mac> bk128: which mac do you have? (like the year etc)
2186 2011-02-02 23:37:49 <sipa> any idea what can be causing this?
2187 2011-02-02 23:38:09 <slush> sipa: what means rejected?
2188 2011-02-02 23:38:37 <slush> sipa: if times fit with new blocks in -monitor, then it is absolutely OK
2189 2011-02-02 23:38:46 <bk128> it's a macbook pro with a core2 duo. video card is a geforce 8600m gt with 256 ram.  I also have a win 7 pc with a radeon hd3850 and a intel core2
2190 2011-02-02 23:38:46 <luke-jr> does pyopencl really depend on nVidia CUDA stuff?
2191 2011-02-02 23:39:11 <slush> luke-jr: if you mean ubuntu packages, than yes
2192 2011-02-02 23:39:15 <slush> I don't know how in other distros
2193 2011-02-02 23:39:17 <sipa> slush: i'm talking about 10% rejects or so
2194 2011-02-02 23:39:20 <luke-jr> slush: I mean in reality
2195 2011-02-02 23:39:26 <sipa> or more
2196 2011-02-02 23:39:30 <slush> which username?
2197 2011-02-02 23:39:33 <sipa> shamir
2198 2011-02-02 23:40:11 <slush> is it running now?
2199 2011-02-02 23:40:23 <molecular> luke-jr, on gentoo, unfortunately pyopencl has dpendency on nvidia-drivers
2200 2011-02-02 23:40:40 <luke-jr> molecular: it certainly does not, that
2201 2011-02-02 23:40:44 <sipa> slush: not sure, sec
2202 2011-02-02 23:40:57 <jgarzik> sipa: do the rejects happen around the time a new block appears on the P2P network?
2203 2011-02-02 23:40:57 <luke-jr> just nvidia-cuda-toolkit
2204 2011-02-02 23:41:10 <luke-jr> molecular: you have GPU mining on Gentoo?
2205 2011-02-02 23:41:15 <slush> sipa: I have console open, so run it and I'll see
2206 2011-02-02 23:42:25 <andrew12^mac> bk128: you're gonna want the cuda miner then (though it may not work)
2207 2011-02-02 23:42:31 <andrew12^mac> for the mac
2208 2011-02-02 23:42:41 <andrew12^mac> une moment
2209 2011-02-02 23:42:56 <bk128> andrew12^mac: okay.  thanks. and what would you use for the pc with the ati card?
2210 2011-02-02 23:43:07 <bk128> which do you think would get more hash/sec?
2211 2011-02-02 23:43:20 <andrew12^mac> uh
2212 2011-02-02 23:43:26 <andrew12^mac> i have no idea
2213 2011-02-02 23:43:32 <sipa> i compiled pyopencl myself from source
2214 2011-02-02 23:43:34 <andrew12^mac> i have no gpus

2217 2011-02-02 23:44:36 <bk128> ok .  thanks. is there a link/ guide for cuda miner?
2218 2011-02-02 23:44:36 <andrew12^mac> bk128: i suggest trying each of the gpu miners on http://mining.bitcoin.cz/
2219 2011-02-02 23:44:45 <bk128> ok. thanks andrew
2220 2011-02-02 23:45:20 <andrew12^mac> though http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=2444.0 supports cpu mining and gpu, and it has a miner for both cuda and opencl
