2 2011-03-29 00:00:06 <luke-jr> genjix: but I want to encourage tcatm+jgarzik+gavin to switch to Gitorious, so I don't know if that might become a barrier?
3 2011-03-29 00:00:08 <genjix> create new team. add me.
4 2011-03-29 00:00:16 <luke-jr> RBecker: at least adding funds
5 2011-03-29 00:00:21 <RBecker> ah
6 2011-03-29 00:00:35 <RBecker> adding funds from paypal is available
7 2011-03-29 00:00:36 <genjix> well it means that now, not only you own the project but many people.
8 2011-03-29 00:00:54 <luke-jr> genjix: right. I mean, they might want to remove you and I from access if they take it over
9 2011-03-29 00:01:04 <luke-jr> and the more people they have to remove, the less likely they will switch
10 2011-03-29 00:01:35 <genjix> they're not going to switch.
11 2011-03-29 00:02:02 <luke-jr> â¦
12 2011-03-29 00:02:24 <RBecker> Now I just wish I could withdraw throughy paypal
13 2011-03-29 00:02:36 <RBecker> through*
14 2011-03-29 00:02:52 <genjix> RBecker: you mean biy bitcoins?
15 2011-03-29 00:02:53 <genjix> buy
16 2011-03-29 00:03:04 <vrs> genjix: hm, must've confused you with mndrix then
17 2011-03-29 00:03:05 <RBecker> genjix, no
18 2011-03-29 00:03:14 <RBecker> sell bitcoins on mtgox and then withdrawl my money to paypal
19 2011-03-29 00:03:16 <genjix> np vrs
20 2011-03-29 00:03:21 <genjix> ahh
21 2011-03-29 00:03:46 * jgarzik sees little value in moving github/bitcoin/bitcoin.git elsewhere
22 2011-03-29 00:04:48 <luke-jr> jgarzik: even when Satoshi refuses to use GitHub because they require a real name?
23 2011-03-29 00:05:09 <midnightmagic> yeah, probably not the best idea to name the project on Gitorious "bitcoin", luke.
24 2011-03-29 00:05:15 <doublec> luke-jr: Where have you heard that Satoshi refuses to use Github?
25 2011-03-29 00:05:19 <midnightmagic> kinda not cool, even a little bit.
26 2011-03-29 00:05:25 <luke-jr> doublec: I have heard that he wishes to be anonymous.

30 2011-03-29 00:05:37 <genjix> jgarzik: you can make one repo called bitcoin-release which only you/gavin have access to (shared) and another called bitcoin-experimental for every other branches.
31 2011-03-29 00:05:38 <Minert> coincard's current rate is $0.7796/BTC. I've used it to sell BC for USD to paypal and tranfered PP to bank.
32 2011-03-29 00:05:46 <genjix> jgarzik: and under the same project.
33 2011-03-29 00:05:50 <midnightmagic> luke-jr: because it's confusing.
34 2011-03-29 00:05:54 <jgarzik> on the list of priorities, this ranks right around running indent(2) on the source code.
35 2011-03-29 00:06:02 <jgarzik> i.e. too low to bother
36 2011-03-29 00:06:09 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: the wx client calling itself 'bitcoin' is confusing

41 2011-03-29 00:06:38 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: sure I am

43 2011-03-29 00:06:48 <midnightmagic> luke-jr: not an official one.
44 2011-03-29 00:06:52 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: there is no official
45 2011-03-29 00:06:59 <Keefe> RBecker: i buy MTG$ with PayPal for just 1% fee
46 2011-03-29 00:06:59 <luke-jr> that's the whole point of distributed
47 2011-03-29 00:07:10 <genjix> jgarzik: no calling the software bitcoin and the protocol bitcoin and the currency bitcoin, is confusing for when i explain to people.
48 2011-03-29 00:07:20 <genjix> the client really should be renamed...
49 2011-03-29 00:07:26 <gavinandresen> lets rename it Bruce, avoid all the confusion
50 2011-03-29 00:07:26 <Keefe> RBecker: so i'd give you $99 by PayPal for your $100 in MtGox
51 2011-03-29 00:07:27 <midnightmagic> luke-jr: or, I could go around calling myself "lukejr" and telling people I've decided to stop pushing tonal.
52 2011-03-29 00:07:38 <luke-jr> gavinandresen: wxBitcoin sounds appropriate imo
53 2011-03-29 00:07:49 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: luke-jr is not distributed
54 2011-03-29 00:07:49 <jgarzik> naming arguments (a) last the longest and (b) matter the least
55 2011-03-29 00:07:58 <jgarzik> "call it GNU/Linux, not Linux!"
56 2011-03-29 00:08:01 <gavinandresen> I agree with Bruce!
57 2011-03-29 00:08:03 <jgarzik> RMS still stumps that one
58 2011-03-29 00:08:06 <luke-jr> I agree with GNU/Linux
59 2011-03-29 00:08:09 <RBecker> Keefe, what?
60 2011-03-29 00:08:10 <doublec> GNU/Bitcoin!
61 2011-03-29 00:08:11 <luke-jr> or just GNU
62 2011-03-29 00:08:11 <osearth> but it was so new it had to work that name recognition
63 2011-03-29 00:08:19 <luke-jr> most people don't care if it's Linux behind the scenes
64 2011-03-29 00:08:53 <midnightmagic> kinda douchy. i hope you put tonal in it.
65 2011-03-29 00:09:00 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: huh?
66 2011-03-29 00:09:24 <midnightmagic> it's douchy to take up official namespace.
67 2011-03-29 00:09:29 <luke-jr> there is no official
68 2011-03-29 00:09:35 <Keefe> RBecker: just saying, if you want to sell BTC at MtGox and get the USD to PayPal, check out my reputation at bitcoin-otc.com and contact me about details
69 2011-03-29 00:09:36 <luke-jr> this isn't USD
70 2011-03-29 00:09:41 <midnightmagic> also, i hope you put tonal in your unofficial, officially-named fork so i can mock you some mroe.
71 2011-03-29 00:09:52 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: you seem to be misunderstanding something
72 2011-03-29 00:09:59 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: 'bitcoin' on Gitorious is not software
73 2011-03-29 00:10:05 <luke-jr> it's a project/category
74 2011-03-29 00:10:17 malfy has joined
75 2011-03-29 00:10:17 <jgarzik> gavinandresen: neat lock instrumentation. the kernel has "lockdep" (automated lock dependency and deadlock checking) in case you want to steal code. Though I'm sure there's a boost::lockdep class buried in boost somewhere... :)
76 2011-03-29 00:10:23 <jgarzik> boost::kitchen_sink
77 2011-03-29 00:10:23 <luke-jr> the client I work on is named Spesmilo
78 2011-03-29 00:10:29 <luke-jr> and does support Tonal
79 2011-03-29 00:10:47 <genjix> phantomcircuit has a python implementation he's been working on.
80 2011-03-29 00:10:56 <midnightmagic> luke-jr: allow me to define my terms, since you are clearly refusing to make even the smallest effort to be anything but a barrier to effective communciation. When I say the word "official" I am referring to the bitcoin client that the vast majority of the p2p bitconi network uses, and carries the authority as being the most-directly descended from Satoshi himself. Okay?
81 2011-03-29 00:11:01 <genjix> i would prefer wallet management using SQL :)
82 2011-03-29 00:11:17 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: that is making Satoshi into an authority
83 2011-03-29 00:11:30 <gavinandresen> jgarzik: I found an acyclic_lock class, but it required naming all the critical sections, so I hacked together some tools with duct tape and python
84 2011-03-29 00:11:31 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: in other words, making it just another fiat currency
85 2011-03-29 00:11:41 <jgarzik> honestly the wallet is more a 3D data structure
86 2011-03-29 00:11:48 <jgarzik> not 2D like SQL
87 2011-03-29 00:11:54 <midnightmagic> luke-jr: he is the name invested with more trust than any other, yes, of course. also, you are trolling. troll denied.
88 2011-03-29 00:11:55 <genjix> SQL handles 3D fine.
89 2011-03-29 00:11:58 * midnightmagic yawns and goes back to sleep.

91 2011-03-29 00:12:13 <genjix> you use pointers from one table to another.
92 2011-03-29 00:12:19 <genjix> then JOIN as needed.
93 2011-03-29 00:12:34 <gavinandresen> jgarzik: I might teach it to dump out partial call stacks tomorrow (using __FUNCTION__) -- did you see my gist comment on the bug ?
94 2011-03-29 00:12:37 * luke-jr wonders how many people would actually use bitcoin if it implied trust in Satoshi personally, whose identity is anonymous
95 2011-03-29 00:13:03 Teslah has joined
96 2011-03-29 00:13:05 <jgarzik> gavinandresen: I saw the big dump of lock orderings

98 2011-03-29 00:13:41 <doublec> luke-jr: it would mean the bitcoin developers (not satoshi) control the main bitcoin client
99 2011-03-29 00:13:46 <jgarzik> x = foo['one']['yawn']
100 2011-03-29 00:13:55 <doublec> luke-jr: everyone else is still able to fork and have their own clients
101 2011-03-29 00:14:05 <luke-jr> doublec: that's half my point
102 2011-03-29 00:14:06 <doublec> luke-jr: changing the name might be nice though
103 2011-03-29 00:14:22 <luke-jr> doublec: it's a project, not a program
104 2011-03-29 00:14:42 <luke-jr> doublec: there are numerous programs contained in it: https://gitorious.org/bitcoin
105 2011-03-29 00:15:26 <genjix> this problem will self resolve anyway. bittorrent is protocol/program and now nobody uses the original bittorrent anymore.
106 2011-03-29 00:15:56 <luke-jr> yep
107 2011-03-29 00:15:57 <genjix> it would just help when explaining to people, that wxBitcoin is one implementation of the protocol :) but w/e
108 2011-03-29 00:16:16 * genjix will say that anyway
109 2011-03-29 00:16:29 * luke-jr will also call it wxBitcoin
110 2011-03-29 00:17:07 <gavinandresen> jgarzik: I'm starting to think about a .21 release, to fix the RPC hang and add -limitfreerelay. And maybe sipa's spent per txout plus a couple other minor pulls.
111 2011-03-29 00:17:12 <luke-jr> speaking of names, I just wrote a fancy Python module that can represent any rational number, in any radix. what should I call it? :p

116 2011-03-29 00:18:03 <genjix> luke-jr: import fractions
117 2011-03-29 00:18:12 <jgarzik> gavinandresen: it's only been a month, but there are a bunch of small changes worth getting out there
118 2011-03-29 00:18:23 <luke-jr> lfm: never used it, does it support 1â3 and various radices? :p
119 2011-03-29 00:18:36 <luke-jr> genjix: that only has the fraction part

144 2011-03-29 00:24:11 <gavinandresen> I thought Windows had most of the posix routines (so did a version of fork())

190 2011-03-29 00:59:30 <luke-jr> someone using Windows can just prepend the command line with 'start ' to get the same effect, also
191 2011-03-29 00:59:40 <jgarzik> then .21 should be ok

218 2011-03-29 01:27:01 <frewsxcv> right now it only shows mtgox and is very featureless
219 2011-03-29 01:27:52 <tcatm> there's an api at bitcoincharts that you can query for all markets
220 2011-03-29 01:28:24 <frewsxcv> yeah i saw, considering using it
221 2011-03-29 01:28:36 <doublec> 3 blocks found in 3 minutes. fast.
222 2011-03-29 01:28:55 <frewsxcv> you don't have something in the api that shows the average price do you? tcatm
223 2011-03-29 01:28:58 <Necr0s> I would suggest a Dashboard widget that does the same thing.
224 2011-03-29 01:29:12 <Necr0s> OS X Dashboard
225 2011-03-29 01:29:18 <tcatm> what would the average price be?
226 2011-03-29 01:29:30 <Necr0s> Also, the equivalent for Windows.
227 2011-03-29 01:29:35 <Necr0s> ...Is it a "gadget" there?
228 2011-03-29 01:29:39 <frewsxcv> tcatm: maybe a combination of all the USD prices averaged?
229 2011-03-29 01:29:45 <frewsxcv> Necr0s: why not a browser plugin?
230 2011-03-29 01:29:54 * frewsxcv is definitely not making it platform specific
231 2011-03-29 01:30:08 <Necr0s> No reason not I guess.
232 2011-03-29 01:30:21 <Necr0s> TO me I guess it feels like more the sort of thing that would belong in Dashboard.
233 2011-03-29 01:31:05 <frewsxcv> last i checked OS widgets are dead
234 2011-03-29 01:31:23 <tcatm> frewsxcv: nope. I could do that, but currently it's not supported.
235 2011-03-29 01:31:43 <Necr0s> Could be true on Windows.
236 2011-03-29 01:31:49 <Necr0s> I must say I've never used any.
237 2011-03-29 01:31:56 <Necr0s> But I use Dashboard a good bit.
238 2011-03-29 01:32:48 <frewsxcv> tcatm: well it's completely up to you. i think it's a valuable piece of api that could be beneficial to developers instead of having to either grab all the prices
239 2011-03-29 01:33:41 <tcatm> I could expose the market's currency so you could easily average/group by currency.
240 2011-03-29 01:34:43 <frewsxcv> that'd be awesome

257 2011-03-29 01:46:14 <midnightmagic> QT can be extremely difficult to develop with.
258 2011-03-29 01:46:23 <luke-jr> nonsense
259 2011-03-29 01:46:28 <frewsxcv> agreed, gtk+ is plenty worse though
260 2011-03-29 01:46:50 <doublec> Qt is a pain to use from other languages due to the C++ abi
261 2011-03-29 01:46:52 <frewsxcv> QT is plenty more bulky than javascript
262 2011-03-29 01:47:02 <midnightmagic> not nonsense. my employer develops major apps with qt. it is NOT designed to easily scale up.
263 2011-03-29 01:47:06 <luke-jr> doublec: Qt is a language itself.
264 2011-03-29 01:47:09 <luke-jr> doublec: and PySide works fine.
265 2011-03-29 01:47:22 <luke-jr> frewsxcv: but Qt is plenty *better* than "javascript"
266 2011-03-29 01:47:52 * frewsxcv strongly disagrees
267 2011-03-29 01:48:01 <doublec> that's like saying 'Boost is better than javascript'. You can't compare a framework to a language.
268 2011-03-29 01:48:13 <luke-jr> doublec: Qt and "javascript" are both languages.
269 2011-03-29 01:48:21 <frewsxcv> doublec: luke-jr considers qt a language

271 2011-03-29 01:48:38 <dirtyfilthy> no one develops for specific browsers anymore, you just use an abstraction like jquery that handles all the browser specific stuff

273 2011-03-29 01:48:52 <luke-jr> dirtyfilthy: even worse
274 2011-03-29 01:49:02 <dirtyfilthy> luke-jr: how so?
275 2011-03-29 01:49:08 <luke-jr> doublec: if you don't consider Qt a language, you cannot consider C++ a language without being inconsistent
276 2011-03-29 01:49:25 <doublec> that makes no sense
277 2011-03-29 01:49:32 <frewsxcv> dirtyfilthy: for browser addons or just web apps?
278 2011-03-29 01:49:43 <frewsxcv> luke-jr: that really does make no sense
279 2011-03-29 01:49:43 <luke-jr> doublec: I'll rephrase: Qt is as different from C++, as C++ is different from C
280 2011-03-29 01:49:50 <frewsxcv> LOL
281 2011-03-29 01:50:05 <dirtyfilthy> web apps, though for browser addons you've just got netscape interface and ie interface
282 2011-03-29 01:50:06 <doublec> I'll rephrase: The makes sense only in your bizarro world
283 2011-03-29 01:50:29 <luke-jr> doublec: that's called denial, because you have no rational argument
284 2011-03-29 01:50:31 <frewsxcv> that's like comparing solar power to nuclear power to a toaster
285 2011-03-29 01:50:33 <doublec> or maybe it only doesn't make sense in my bizarro world
286 2011-03-29 01:50:52 <doublec> it's impossible to rationally argue with you luke-jr
287 2011-03-29 01:50:55 <luke-jr> Qt has new syntax, and completely replaces the standard library.
288 2011-03-29 01:51:02 <luke-jr> C++ has new syntax, and completely replaces the standard library.
289 2011-03-29 01:51:07 <luke-jr> same changes.
290 2011-03-29 01:51:32 <frewsxcv> dirtyfilthy: oh for web apps i can understand, but for a lot people, they want information living in the addons area/bar
291 2011-03-29 01:51:43 <jasonphd> for pool servers, what methods are used to prevent cheating in the form of submitting random data as the solution? typically, the result being submitted to a pool will not be the solution to the block, but it still earns a "share". what prevents a user from submitting something totally off the wall every few seconds and earning a share? what methods can be used to make sure their submissions are legit?
292 2011-03-29 01:51:59 <tcatm> frewsxcv: currency field added (and I also changed all urls)
293 2011-03-29 01:52:02 <doublec> jasonphd: usually they are solving at a lower difficulty level (like 1)
294 2011-03-29 01:52:05 <frewsxcv> doublec: it's kind of hard discussing with someone who believes qt is a language
295 2011-03-29 01:52:08 <doublec> so that has to be correct
296 2011-03-29 01:52:27 <doublec> frewsxcv: agreed
297 2011-03-29 01:53:01 <jasonphd> doublec: right, but the pool is assuming that eventually when a client is solving with a difficulty of 1, that their submission will also be the answer to the block at the higher difficulty level, correct?

301 2011-03-29 01:53:30 <Necr0s> seti@home solves this problem by having each block cmputed twice, by two different clients.
302 2011-03-29 01:53:38 <midnightmagic> gimme a break. where did you learn logic, gradeschool?
303 2011-03-29 01:53:46 <Necr0s> Obviously this solution will not work well for mining pools.
304 2011-03-29 01:53:54 <doublec> jasonphd: they count the solved at difficulty 1 as a share. It must solve that difficulty correct which is how they are known to not be cheating.
305 2011-03-29 01:54:11 <doublec> jasonphd: and if that solution also sovles the actual difficulty then the block is done

337 2011-03-29 02:33:59 <dirtyfilthy> i think you don't need to reverse the difficulty in the first place, it's actually the hash that's reversed

349 2011-03-29 02:44:52 <SykeP> QT is an application framework that adds some language extensions essentially through macros.
350 2011-03-29 02:45:37 <jasonphd> dirtyfilthy: it seems like i'm still over simplifying it... is there a wiki page that gives more detail? it seems like if you only need to submit a result that hashes to less than a static value, then you could cache accepted values on the client side, wait for the next round/block on the pool server and submit all of your old answers all over again quickly getting "credits" for doing 0 work during that round.... i think i'm pret
351 2011-03-29 02:45:41 <luke-jr> SykeP: same for C++
352 2011-03-29 02:46:24 <dirtyfilthy> the solution has to be for the right block
353 2011-03-29 02:46:32 <dirtyfilthy> block header i mean

356 2011-03-29 02:46:59 <jgarzik> jasonphd: the next block implies a new previous-hash field, which implies hashing a new block header
357 2011-03-29 02:47:18 <jgarzik> jasonphd: hence "block chain", where each block depends on the previous block's hash, which is not known ahead of time

360 2011-03-29 02:49:27 <jasonphd> jgarzik: your "checkwork" function appears to take the submitted data, hash it, and then compare it to "TARGET" (a static variable that never changes between rounds), am i following that correctly?

370 2011-03-29 02:56:34 <SykeP> and because c is such a low language, anything can basically be preprocessed into be compiled by it

397 2011-03-29 03:28:43 <EPiSKiNG> sorry... that was a terrible question to ask in a chat
398 2011-03-29 03:28:53 <EPiSKiNG> jasonphd: nice
399 2011-03-29 03:29:14 <[Tycho]> EPiSKiNG, how many GH/s do you have ?
400 2011-03-29 03:29:25 <EPiSKiNG> why do you want to know?
401 2011-03-29 03:29:39 <EPiSKiNG> ;-)
402 2011-03-29 03:29:50 <EPiSKiNG> 1.0
403 2011-03-29 03:29:50 <doublec> or run one of the GPU mining clients and point it to your local bitcoin instance instead of apool
404 2011-03-29 03:29:55 synisma has joined
405 2011-03-29 03:30:33 <EPiSKiNG> doublec: create user in solo utilites, then set to solo server?
406 2011-03-29 03:31:10 <doublec> EPiSKiNG: I don't know what 'solo' means in that context
407 2011-03-29 03:31:33 <validus> sounds like the poclbm gui
408 2011-03-29 03:31:42 <doublec> EPiSKiNG: you can mine locally by running bitcoin with '-server' (or run bitcoind) and run one of the standalone miners (like poclbm)
409 2011-03-29 03:31:45 <doublec> ah ok
410 2011-03-29 03:31:52 <validus> i think it sets itself up to make a conf file and start bitcoin with the -server option
411 2011-03-29 03:32:02 <doublec> ok, I've not used it
412 2011-03-29 03:32:06 <validus> i've never ran that part but i remember seeing it in there
413 2011-03-29 03:32:13 <yebyen> EPiSKiNG: how does 1.0gh work for you?
414 2011-03-29 03:32:19 <yebyen> are you producing coins
415 2011-03-29 03:32:46 <yebyen> i have a test network that has a total of 1MH if i turn all of the computers on at once :)
416 2011-03-29 03:33:36 <EPiSKiNG> i did .5 btc in about an hour or os
417 2011-03-29 03:33:38 <EPiSKiNG> so
418 2011-03-29 03:33:48 <yebyen> it generates coins with addresses that start with "2G"
419 2011-03-29 03:34:01 <yebyen> how do you get .5BTC? i thought they came as 50 :x
420 2011-03-29 03:34:04 <yebyen> are you on a farm?
421 2011-03-29 03:34:09 <yebyen> i haven't been reading the news at all

433 2011-03-29 03:38:28 <jgarzik> I <heart> Puppet
434 2011-03-29 03:38:42 <Keefe> what am i doing wrong here?:
435 2011-03-29 03:38:42 <Keefe> bitcoin/bitcoind listreceivedbyaddress includeempty=true
436 2011-03-29 03:38:43 <Keefe> error: type mismatch
437 2011-03-29 03:39:00 <Keefe> ignore the "bitcoin/" part
438 2011-03-29 03:39:01 <jgarzik> Keefe: remove "includeempty="
439 2011-03-29 03:39:21 <jgarzik> Keefe: bitcoin's JSON command arguments are not key=value, but a list of parameters.
440 2011-03-29 03:39:35 <jgarzik> Keefe: the 'includeempty=' part is implicit in its position in the parameter list
441 2011-03-29 03:39:42 <Keefe> i see now
442 2011-03-29 03:39:58 <Keefe> so if i want to specify includeempty i have to also specify minconf
443 2011-03-29 03:40:03 <Keefe> no big deal
444 2011-03-29 03:40:09 <Keefe> thx

561 2011-03-29 06:06:48 <roconnor> that's a good idea
562 2011-03-29 06:07:06 <tcatm> 173.255.224.227:8333 works, too
563 2011-03-29 06:07:34 <roconnor> oh, that isn't on the test network
564 2011-03-29 06:08:16 <roconnor> anyhow, localhost is fine
565 2011-03-29 06:08:25 <roconnor> I'll just run bitcoind -testnet
566 2011-03-29 06:08:40 <tcatm> are you writing a client?
567 2011-03-29 06:09:27 <roconnor> arguably
568 2011-03-29 06:09:41 <roconnor> mostly I wanted to investigate in detail how bitcoin functions
569 2011-03-29 06:10:18 <roconnor> the best way is to write some sort of client
570 2011-03-29 06:10:54 <tcatm> yep
571 2011-03-29 06:11:47 <tcatm> a good start is to connect to one node ask for the blockchain and then listen for transactions and verify their inputs
572 2011-03-29 06:12:11 <roconnor> ya, I wasn't sure waht to say my initial hash is since I don't know any
573 2011-03-29 06:12:21 <roconnor> I thought getaddr would be simpler :)
574 2011-03-29 06:13:20 <tcatm> initial hash for getblocks?
575 2011-03-29 06:13:29 <roconnor> ya
576 2011-03-29 06:13:33 <roconnor> I think
577 2011-03-29 06:13:33 <tcatm> http://blockexplorer.com/block/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f
578 2011-03-29 06:13:51 <tcatm> or for testnet: http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/block/00000007199508e34a9ff81e6ec0c477a4cccff2a4767a8eee39c11db367b008
579 2011-03-29 06:14:06 <roconnor> this is the so called genesis block?
580 2011-03-29 06:14:07 <lfm> hash of genisis bloxk?
581 2011-03-29 06:14:15 <tcatm> yep
582 2011-03-29 06:14:16 <roconnor> it should be hard coded in the client I suppose

585 2011-03-29 06:14:38 <roconnor> right
586 2011-03-29 06:14:43 <phantomcircuit> it is hard coded iirc
587 2011-03-29 06:14:47 <phantomcircuit> at least it is in mine
588 2011-03-29 06:14:48 <roconnor> I guess I can try that
589 2011-03-29 06:14:59 <roconnor> though getaddr ought to work
590 2011-03-29 06:15:07 <lfm> testnet changes periodiclly so a config file would make sense

611 2011-03-29 06:17:26 <grbgout> cool
612 2011-03-29 06:17:36 <roconnor> well, unless you try not to be
613 2011-03-29 06:17:41 <grbgout> :)
614 2011-03-29 06:18:10 <roconnor> all my serialization is done explicitly so it doesn't depend on the native endieness
615 2011-03-29 06:18:35 <roconnor> (btw, the all the little endieness is slightly annoying :D )
616 2011-03-29 06:19:37 <tcatm> once you've written a complete lowlevel lib you won't have to care about it anymore :)
617 2011-03-29 06:19:40 <lfm> roconnor: ya, its much worse in the bitcoin sources such that bigendian hosts are almost ruled out
618 2011-03-29 06:20:09 <grbgout> hmm, I have an onboard gpu as well as a gpu plugged into PCIe, should I be able to access the onboard GPU for number crunching? I see the sound devices for it available, but I've never tried to do so before, so I dunno....

620 2011-03-29 06:20:51 <lfm> grbgout: what model is it?
621 2011-03-29 06:20:59 <grondilu> rates are published JSON style on http://bitcoincharts.com/t/markets.json. How could I parse that without using javascript?
622 2011-03-29 06:21:12 <grbgout> What model gpu? It's a clunky HD4200, only 40 SP :(
623 2011-03-29 06:21:31 <lfm> ya 4200s are not supported by opencl
624 2011-03-29 06:21:33 <forrestv> grondilu, with any json parsing lib ...
625 2011-03-29 06:22:11 <grbgout> lfm: oh, really? oh well. won't bother then, but if I did have an onboard CL capable GPU, should I be able to access it whilst a PCIe gpu is plugged in?
626 2011-03-29 06:22:21 <grondilu> yeah I know but I need to do that on my webserver and I can't install whatever I want :(
627 2011-03-29 06:22:41 <lfm> grbgout: if it suppoerted opencl then I think so
628 2011-03-29 06:22:49 <tcatm> grondilu: webserver = php only?
629 2011-03-29 06:22:53 <grbgout> k
630 2011-03-29 06:23:43 <grondilu> ah nevermind I guess I have to find out what language I could use on my webserver. So far I was doing only bash CGI.
631 2011-03-29 06:24:11 <grbgout> grondilu: syscalls and sockets, then? :)
632 2011-03-29 06:24:30 <tcatm> grondilu: https://github.com/micha/jsawk/blob/master/jsawk
633 2011-03-29 06:24:34 <grbgout> grondilu: as I understand it, the rpc relies on an http spec, or something.
634 2011-03-29 06:25:03 <grbgout> so, presumably, you can connect with telnet and retreive information. With that in mind, you should be able to mock something up in bash if you /really/ wanted/had to.
635 2011-03-29 06:25:21 <lfm> grondilu: cgi can be any language really
636 2011-03-29 06:25:36 <grondilu> oh there is a json module in the python installation on my web server
637 2011-03-29 06:25:49 <grbgout> grondilu: how convenient!
638 2011-03-29 06:25:55 <grondilu> I guess I could use that :)
639 2011-03-29 06:26:02 <grbgout> I take it you don't have physical access to your web server.
640 2011-03-29 06:26:26 <grbgout> s/physical access/administrative privilages/ (so)

744 2011-03-29 08:11:07 <lfm> gobbles up memory too for some reason
745 2011-03-29 08:11:44 <lfm> tail: memory exhausted
746 2011-03-29 08:12:26 <lfm> prolly starts paging and gets so slow you think the system is hung

750 2011-03-29 08:14:45 <lfm> tail /dev/zero is a silly thing to do anyway, makes no sense
751 2011-03-29 08:16:31 <phantomcircuit> lfm, tail can read from /dev/zero much faster than it can display

759 2011-03-29 08:18:11 <lfm> it may be buffering huge amount looking for line seperators
760 2011-03-29 08:18:33 <lfm> since tail is intended for text files and /dev/zero is not text
761 2011-03-29 08:18:53 <phantomcircuit> lfm, uh tail displays before eof by design
762 2011-03-29 08:19:24 <lfm> phantomcircuit: ya but it doesnt start displayt till it knows where eof is
763 2011-03-29 08:19:56 <phantomcircuit> lfm, you sure about that?
764 2011-03-29 08:20:19 <lfm> how you think it figures out what the LAST 10 lines are??????
765 2011-03-29 08:20:22 <phantomcircuit> hmm it doesn't
766 2011-03-29 08:20:40 <phantomcircuit> lfm, lol right
767 2011-03-29 08:20:44 <phantomcircuit> im stupid

770 2011-03-29 08:23:15 <lfm> kk, so Id say tail is working correctly fro a stupid command. It is trying very hard to show you the last 10 lines of /dev/zero and it will keep trying till you abort it

873 2011-03-29 13:31:27 <grbgout> A how to guide for businesses wanting to adopt bitcoins would probably be better, then provide a link to that guide on the page you're talking about (I'm guessing the Trade wiki page).
874 2011-03-29 13:31:51 <BlueMatt> jaynbraver the thing is it looks like someone just posted for free advertising if you don't at least have a we accept bitcoins icon
875 2011-03-29 13:33:09 <JayBraver> I can add the icon and the link, It's the payment instructions I don't know. Do you think linking back here would be enough? They have to contact us before they pay in any case.

913 2011-03-29 14:00:27 <klaasvakie> hi guys, I have a question that I haven't seen answered in the FAQ's. Suppose bitcoin becomes the de-facto global currency, and suppose that everybody on the planet (6bn people) performs one transaction a day. this gives a mean of 250m transactions per hour, or or ~42m transactions for every block generated (6 per hour). If every transaction can be described in 100bytes, does this mean that for every block, every node on the

1093 2011-03-29 17:31:47 <BlueMatt> specifically a bitcoin build
1094 2011-03-29 17:31:48 <genjix> 32 bit ok
1095 2011-03-29 17:32:02 <xelister> >_>
1096 2011-03-29 17:32:20 <xelister> untrusted binary local execution ftw
1097 2011-03-29 17:32:30 <lfm> bitcoind or bitcoin
1098 2011-03-29 17:32:32 <BlueMatt> you trust me, right?
1099 2011-03-29 17:32:37 <genjix> pfft i doubt BlueMatt wants to steal my btc
1100 2011-03-29 17:32:37 <BlueMatt> bitcoin hence the gui requirement
1101 2011-03-29 17:33:08 <BlueMatt> http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/ubuntu-i686-patched/ the latest one there
1102 2011-03-29 17:33:16 <BlueMatt> once if finishes uploading
1103 2011-03-29 17:33:27 <sipa> i suppose if genjix really didn't trust BlueMatt, he'd suggest to compile it himself
1104 2011-03-29 17:33:33 <xelister> BlueMatt: you plan to package it for ubuntu?
1105 2011-03-29 17:33:35 <BlueMatt> or just chroot it
1106 2011-03-29 17:33:40 <BlueMatt> or run it on a vm or....
1107 2011-03-29 17:33:49 <BlueMatt> xelister: only sort of
1108 2011-03-29 17:34:00 <xelister> BlueMatt: so how it goes?
1109 2011-03-29 17:34:04 <BlueMatt> as it turns out there is a problem linking so I just thought Id ask if someone could test it
1110 2011-03-29 17:34:10 <BlueMatt> if it opens, it works ;)
1111 2011-03-29 17:34:15 <nanotube> request that it be signed with BlueMatt's gpg key :)
1112 2011-03-29 17:34:27 <BlueMatt> thats a ton of work

1114 2011-03-29 17:34:38 <nanotube> done
1115 2011-03-29 17:34:45 <BlueMatt> and then upload to mirror
1116 2011-03-29 17:34:46 <genjix> wait so i only need to download/untar it?
1117 2011-03-29 17:34:52 <BlueMatt> genjix: if you dont mind
1118 2011-03-29 17:34:55 <genjix> kk
1119 2011-03-29 17:35:03 <BlueMatt> nanotube: and copy my gpg key to the vm which makes the builds and and and
1120 2011-03-29 17:35:04 <nanotube> BlueMatt: ok, so then you rsync to upload the signature
1121 2011-03-29 17:35:09 <nanotube> hehe
1122 2011-03-29 17:35:15 <nanotube> you can post your signature separately

1126 2011-03-29 17:35:30 <nanotube> but anyway, just a suggestion
1127 2011-03-29 17:35:39 <BlueMatt> genjix: if bitcoin opens, it worked
1128 2011-03-29 17:35:45 <genjix> ok hold on

1206 2011-03-29 18:11:16 <lfm> for cpu the best client is I think cpuminer

1211 2011-03-29 18:12:39 <lfm> one gpu even a modest one is probably 1000 times faster than that

1251 2011-03-29 18:22:14 <joepie91> I know... but of PRQ I'm 100% sure that it will go well
1252 2011-03-29 18:22:14 <luke-jr> you can't deflect DMCA demands
1253 2011-03-29 18:22:19 <joepie91> plus
1254 2011-03-29 18:22:22 <joepie91> PRQ is not even US
1255 2011-03-29 18:22:46 <JFK911> luke-jr: when the demands are shit on their face, at least they have the sense to say FU rather than shut my crap down
1256 2011-03-29 18:22:48 <lfm> luke lots of ways, easiest is to not be in the usa

1266 2011-03-29 18:25:09 <JFK911> it might be difficult to come up with an actionable complaint
1267 2011-03-29 18:25:14 <JFK911> also they have a lot of evil lawyers
1268 2011-03-29 18:25:23 <JFK911> i think its better to put up a website saying things like
1269 2011-03-29 18:25:29 <lfm> they stole my web site idea
1270 2011-03-29 18:25:32 <xelister> well if DMCA will be unstopable bullshit, then it means it can used against anyone
1271 2011-03-29 18:25:39 <JFK911> sony tv burned down my childhood home and killed my parents and brother, thanks sony for making me an orphan
1272 2011-03-29 18:25:43 <JFK911> or
1273 2011-03-29 18:25:49 <JFK911> we put anthrax in 10 ps3 boxes, will you be a WINNER?
1274 2011-03-29 18:26:13 <JFK911> maybe instead of a tv burning it could be a powerbook or dell battery

1301 2011-03-29 19:22:11 <Blitzboom> bitcoin could only be backed if there was a central entity behind it
1302 2011-03-29 19:22:24 <Blitzboom> which wouldnât make it very decentralized â¦
1303 2011-03-29 19:22:40 <EvanR-work> bitcoin is backed by the full faith and reputation of itself
1304 2011-03-29 19:24:11 <FellowTraveler> Sorry I just have a twisted sense of humor, been up all night.
1305 2011-03-29 19:25:48 <FellowTraveler> Does anyone know what's the best lib for bitcoin API if I just want to talk to bitcoind through java?
1306 2011-03-29 19:25:57 <ersi> Bitcoin is powered by the power of Lulz
1307 2011-03-29 19:26:17 <Diablo-D3> FellowTraveler: there really isnt one technically
1308 2011-03-29 19:26:40 <EvanR-work> use bitcoind directly
1309 2011-03-29 19:26:45 <EvanR-work> like shell exec
1310 2011-03-29 19:26:50 <Diablo-D3> although Ive been using resteasy's rest client
1311 2011-03-29 19:26:54 <Diablo-D3> and then mocking my own json up
1312 2011-03-29 19:27:06 <Diablo-D3> and I use something far worse in my miner

1321 2011-03-29 19:31:44 <FellowTraveler> EvanR-work, let's say I am on Windows with a Java app, and I want to call bitcoind on same machine, can I still do shell exec solution?
1322 2011-03-29 19:31:58 <EvanR-work> windows??
1323 2011-03-29 19:32:02 <EvanR-work> why! why!
1324 2011-03-29 19:32:29 <FellowTraveler> What would you do with your own cross-platform app, to make sure it can talk to bitcoin even if it's running on Windows or Android or Linux or Mac or whatever

1327 2011-03-29 19:32:53 <FellowTraveler> Windows is important.
1328 2011-03-29 19:32:55 <Diablo-D3> FellowTraveler: do not follow the shell exec advice
1329 2011-03-29 19:32:57 <Diablo-D3> thats retarded
1330 2011-03-29 19:33:14 <Diablo-D3> FellowTraveler: worst case, look at the code in my miner
1331 2011-03-29 19:33:16 <EvanR-work> bitcoind also has a json-rpc interface
1332 2011-03-29 19:33:23 <EvanR-work> you can use that over the network
1333 2011-03-29 19:33:27 <Diablo-D3> EvanR-work: this is what we're discussing.
1334 2011-03-29 19:33:55 <EvanR-work> good to see you guys are finally on the right track

1336 2011-03-29 19:35:04 <FellowTraveler> Diablo-D3 is that just a wrapper for bitcoind then?
1337 2011-03-29 19:36:16 <Diablo-D3> see line 695 or so
1338 2011-03-29 19:36:39 <Diablo-D3> my new code is far shorter and much saner, but I havent ported it back into the miner yet
1339 2011-03-29 19:36:59 <FellowTraveler> ok cool and the rest is on the wiki for the JSON API
1340 2011-03-29 19:37:14 <Diablo-D3> yeah

1369 2011-03-29 19:44:59 <Diablo-D3> but that wont be for awhile
1370 2011-03-29 19:45:09 <Diablo-D3> I only need it so I can share code between DiabloMiner and DiabloPool

1373 2011-03-29 19:46:15 <FellowTraveler> cause the first OT client will be JVM somehow and I'd like to add ability to have bitcoin addresses on there too, like a different color account type in the list or whatever.

1379 2011-03-29 19:47:03 <Diablo-D3> BlueMatt: because anything less than 26x.xx is broken afiak
1380 2011-03-29 19:47:04 <FellowTraveler> that way just throw it to the java guy while he's making the UI and having him put it in.
1381 2011-03-29 19:47:15 <BlueMatt> Diablo-D3: it is 26X
1382 2011-03-29 19:47:25 <Diablo-D3> BlueMatt: still, its a driver bug.
1383 2011-03-29 19:47:28 <Diablo-D3> try updating further
1384 2011-03-29 19:47:45 <BlueMatt> Diablo-D3: it was working till earlier?
1385 2011-03-29 19:48:01 <Diablo-D3> thats nvidia for you.
1386 2011-03-29 19:48:27 <BlueMatt> Diablo-D3: your miner is the thing that made me reisub in the first place
1387 2011-03-29 19:48:43 <Diablo-D3> try updating your driver to an even newer one

1391 2011-03-29 19:49:00 <Diablo-D3> BlueMatt: seriously, nvidia drivers are fucking shit
1392 2011-03-29 19:49:16 <Diablo-D3> they couldnt even run my miner "reliably" until like a year and a half after AMD could
1393 2011-03-29 19:50:19 <Kiba> so guys
1394 2011-03-29 19:50:37 <BlueMatt> Diablo-D3: "RuntimeError: Context failed: out of resources" help (from poclbm)
1395 2011-03-29 19:50:46 <Kiba> anybody like free/cheap advertising? You can do it now on bitcoinweekly!
1396 2011-03-29 19:51:10 <Diablo-D3> BlueMatt: somethings fucked on your install.
1397 2011-03-29 19:51:27 <Diablo-D3> BlueMatt: dpkg -l | grep nvidia, and then apt-get remove --purge all those packages
1398 2011-03-29 19:51:34 <Diablo-D3> and then grab the nvidia installer off nvidia's site
1399 2011-03-29 19:51:35 <Diablo-D3> and install it
1400 2011-03-29 19:51:40 <Diablo-D3> and then reboot and pray

1419 2011-03-29 20:02:22 <Diablo-D3> BlueMatt: huh.
1420 2011-03-29 20:06:07 <BlueMatt> so...upnp anyone?
1421 2011-03-29 20:07:45 <JFK911> will that expose rpc?
1422 2011-03-29 20:08:00 <BlueMatt> JFK911: no, only port 8333
1423 2011-03-29 20:11:13 <JFK911> okay i wasn't sure how these things worked
1424 2011-03-29 20:11:24 <JFK911> my password is "abc123" i think i would be owned
1425 2011-03-29 20:11:38 <BlueMatt> it just maps whatever ports you set (currently GetDefaultPort() which simply returns 8333)
1426 2011-03-29 20:11:40 <JFK911> i guess you have to know the "user name" too
1427 2011-03-29 20:11:52 <BlueMatt> you might want to change that
1428 2011-03-29 20:14:35 <luke-jr> JFK911: UPnP *only* fixes the NAT problem
1429 2011-03-29 20:14:49 <luke-jr> JFK911: it doesn't change the behaviour of your system
1430 2011-03-29 20:15:22 <forrestv> why is the difficulty set every n blocks, instead of being set per block based on the time elapsed between the last block, and the block m blocks ago?
1431 2011-03-29 20:15:48 <luke-jr> forrestv: because Satoshi was silly? <.<
1432 2011-03-29 20:16:14 <forrestv> ah q:
1433 2011-03-29 20:16:29 <luke-jr> we *could* change thatâ¦
1434 2011-03-29 20:16:40 <luke-jr> in 2 steps
1435 2011-03-29 20:16:48 <BlueMatt> na, too much effort to change it and the possibility of accidentally forking the chain
1436 2011-03-29 20:16:54 <luke-jr> first, make new clients *accept* the moving-average difficulties as valid
1437 2011-03-29 20:17:05 <luke-jr> then once we have >50%, miners THEN begin making them
1438 2011-03-29 20:17:50 <luke-jr> it would make sense IMO to adjust a few other things first, though
1439 2011-03-29 20:17:55 <luke-jr> or rather, in the same break
1440 2011-03-29 20:18:05 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: like?
1441 2011-03-29 20:18:12 <luke-jr> possibly increase precision
1442 2011-03-29 20:18:38 <luke-jr> maybe make the generation rewards some even multiple of 2 so it divides cleanly
1443 2011-03-29 20:18:41 <BlueMatt> precision?
1444 2011-03-29 20:19:09 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: we can easily get 3 more digits* on the end
1445 2011-03-29 20:19:18 <BlueMatt> ah
1446 2011-03-29 20:19:39 <BlueMatt> mmm, not sure if thats really necessary, but if you are changing stuff might as well
1447 2011-03-29 20:19:46 <luke-jr> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Divisibility_extension has a few conceptual things I toyed with
1448 2011-03-29 20:19:58 <BlueMatt> not that I think any of this is worth changing the clients for but...
1449 2011-03-29 20:20:24 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: what *would* be a useful function, IMO, is the ability to do 1â3 BTC exactly
1450 2011-03-29 20:20:38 <luke-jr> right now, you can do half or fifths, but not thirds

1456 2011-03-29 20:25:40 <forrestv> luke-jr, why is 1/3 BTC exactly useful?
1457 2011-03-29 20:25:57 <luke-jr> forrestv: 1â3 is a fairly common fraction
1458 2011-03-29 20:26:17 <Diablo-D3> yeah, its called .33 cents.
1459 2011-03-29 20:26:23 <lyspooner> lol
1460 2011-03-29 20:26:28 <luke-jr> Diablo-D3: that isn't 1â3, idiot
1461 2011-03-29 20:26:42 <Diablo-D3> luke-jr: it is on any 100 cents system
1462 2011-03-29 20:26:47 <Diablo-D3> no one cares about the dangling cent.
1463 2011-03-29 20:26:48 <lyspooner> 1/3 of a dollar is 33 cents luke-jr
1464 2011-03-29 20:26:57 <luke-jr> lyspooner: nope
1465 2011-03-29 20:27:08 <Diablo-D3> learn integer math.
1466 2011-03-29 20:27:08 <BlueMatt> who needs to pay exactly 1/3 of a btc?
1467 2011-03-29 20:27:12 <Blitzboom> 1/3 of a dollar is 34 cents
1468 2011-03-29 20:27:20 <Blitzboom> problem?
1469 2011-03-29 20:27:21 <Diablo-D3> Blitzboom: no, 33.
1470 2011-03-29 20:27:23 <lyspooner> my 1/3 of a dollar is 34 cents
1471 2011-03-29 20:27:29 <lyspooner> your 1/3 of a dollar is 33 cents
1472 2011-03-29 20:27:37 <Diablo-D3> no, math itself says its 33
1473 2011-03-29 20:27:38 <forrestv> 1/3 of a dollar is 33 cents with 2/3rds probability and 34 cents with 1/3 probability
1474 2011-03-29 20:27:41 <BlueMatt> I think Ill buy from lyspooner instead of Diablo-D3
1475 2011-03-29 20:27:42 <luke-jr> Diablo-D3: nonsense
1476 2011-03-29 20:27:49 <Diablo-D3> its 3.~3, thus you round down.
1477 2011-03-29 20:28:00 <Blitzboom> haha forrestv
1478 2011-03-29 20:28:06 <luke-jr> Diablo-D3: math doesn't round.
1479 2011-03-29 20:28:19 <Diablo-D3> otherwise your 3 for a dollar would cost 1.02
1480 2011-03-29 20:28:27 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: again, who the fuck needs to pay EXACTLY 1/3 of a btc?
1481 2011-03-29 20:28:49 <lyspooner> 1/3 of a paper dollar doesn't really exist
1482 2011-03-29 20:28:54 <blablaa> BlueMatt, it is a feature that could come handy
1483 2011-03-29 20:29:10 <BlueMatt> blablaa: in what case?
1484 2011-03-29 20:29:42 <blablaa> BlueMatt, transactions between industries?
1485 2011-03-29 20:29:55 <forrestv> in what case is 3 of an item exactly 1 dollar, anyway? with bitcoin's much vaunted precision and ease of use, we can set prices that aren't whole numbers
1486 2011-03-29 20:29:59 <forrestv> making the point moot
1487 2011-03-29 20:30:01 <luke-jr> in the case that idiots won't decide "well, we can't charge 1â3, so we'll make 1 item 50 cents"

1489 2011-03-29 20:30:24 <Diablo-D3> 3 for a dollar is actually quite common
1490 2011-03-29 20:30:38 <luke-jr> forrestv: Bitcoin's precision is *barely* acceptable
1491 2011-03-29 20:30:49 <BlueMatt> people have done fine without .33333333 usd for a long time
1492 2011-03-29 20:31:05 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: by charging 50 cents for a "3 for $1" items
1493 2011-03-29 20:31:19 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: whats wrong with that?
1494 2011-03-29 20:31:23 <luke-jr> â¦â¦.
1495 2011-03-29 20:31:34 <BlueMatt> bad for consumer but the shops gotta make money
1496 2011-03-29 20:31:46 <BlueMatt> plus they could just sell for .33 cents or .34
1497 2011-03-29 20:31:55 <Diablo-D3> .33
1498 2011-03-29 20:32:01 <luke-jr> could, but don't.
1499 2011-03-29 20:32:04 <BlueMatt> dont get into that again
1500 2011-03-29 20:32:06 <Diablo-D3> but do.

1502 2011-03-29 20:32:18 <forrestv> the point i was trying to make is - paying 33 cents is no harder than paying 50 cents, because this is a digital currency
1503 2011-03-29 20:32:42 <forrestv> so they would have no reason to make it a round fraction of a dollar

1507 2011-03-29 20:34:28 <SykeP> no currency in use supports 1/3rd, so there's clearly no need for bitcoin to support it.

1512 2011-03-29 20:35:09 <luke-jr> SykeP: if bitcoin has no benefits over currencies in use, then there is no reason to use bitcoin ;)
1513 2011-03-29 20:35:11 <SykeP> but but, i want 1/7th of a coin.
1514 2011-03-29 20:35:17 <SykeP> no, no, I want 1/11th of a coin
1515 2011-03-29 20:35:23 <BlueMatt> I want 1/215th
1516 2011-03-29 20:35:23 <SykeP> what about 1/13th of a coin?
1517 2011-03-29 20:35:28 <Blitzboom> noone wants 1/3 coin
1518 2011-03-29 20:35:31 <Blitzboom> deal with it
1519 2011-03-29 20:35:37 <blablaa> SykeP, there is an invention called "rational numbers"
1520 2011-03-29 20:35:52 <BlueMatt> blablaa: and they dont work well in binary computers
1521 2011-03-29 20:35:53 <blablaa> SykeP, never heard of it?
1522 2011-03-29 20:35:59 <jgarzik> too bad rational people have not yet been invented :)
1523 2011-03-29 20:36:08 <luke-jr> blablaa: 1/3, 1/7, and 1/11 are all rational numbers
1524 2011-03-29 20:36:17 <blablaa> BlueMatt, modern computers do multiplications very far
1525 2011-03-29 20:36:19 <blablaa> BlueMatt, modern computers do multiplications very fast
1526 2011-03-29 20:36:22 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: there is a difference between useful features and features which no one cards about
1527 2011-03-29 20:36:29 <SykeP> the world is decimal. deal with it.
1528 2011-03-29 20:36:38 <BlueMatt> blablaa: and I dont want 10000 0s at the end of my balance
1529 2011-03-29 20:36:51 <BlueMatt> for every tx, in every block
1530 2011-03-29 20:37:02 <lyspooner> i deal only in transcendental coins
1531 2011-03-29 20:37:11 <blablaa> luke-jr, that's the point.. there is no need of special code to handle 1/3 or 1/7 or 1/something
1532 2011-03-29 20:37:14 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: RE your pull request... can you glance at older bitcoin versions, <= 0.3.18, and see if -daemon was ever enabled on Windows?
1533 2011-03-29 20:37:18 <BlueMatt> I only use base 10000 coins
1534 2011-03-29 20:37:27 <luke-jr> we could use a base unit of 277,200 to get divisibility by 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16

1541 2011-03-29 20:38:48 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: bitcoin.org windows zip has bitcoind
1542 2011-03-29 20:38:54 <blablaa> luke-jr, your base of 277,200 is more creative
1543 2011-03-29 20:39:14 <luke-jr> we have 12 usable bitsâ¦
1544 2011-03-29 20:39:24 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: sure, but the command line argument -daemon do on version 0.3.18?
1545 2011-03-29 20:39:33 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: sure, but what did the command line argument -daemon do on version 0.3.18?
1546 2011-03-29 20:39:35 <luke-jr> so we could define them to be a denominator
1547 2011-03-29 20:39:43 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: on Windows
1548 2011-03-29 20:39:57 <luke-jr> that would allow divisions to 1â4096
1549 2011-03-29 20:40:03 <blablaa> luke-jr, now that i think about it.. why not also negative numbers.. debts?
1550 2011-03-29 20:40:06 <blablaa> luke-jr, :P
1551 2011-03-29 20:40:18 <blablaa> mathematicians have already invented all the abstractions..
1552 2011-03-29 20:40:19 <blablaa> heh
1553 2011-03-29 20:40:25 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: not sure that far back, but from what I see on github, for() etc was in an ifndef MSW (git blame shows that being comited by satoshi)
1554 2011-03-29 20:40:47 <luke-jr> blablaa: the problem with a simple fraction, is that now there are multiple ways to write "N units"
1555 2011-03-29 20:41:00 <luke-jr> perhaps each of the 12 bit combinations should be a prime?
1556 2011-03-29 20:41:03 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: fork() is but one implementation. what about -daemon?
1557 2011-03-29 20:41:20 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: yea my winvm takes a minute to boot...
1558 2011-03-29 20:41:48 <blablaa> luke-jr, you can always look at the smallest fraction..
1559 2011-03-29 20:41:48 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: it is entirely possible for -daemon to work on Windows, _and_ "ifndef windows fork()" code to be present.
1560 2011-03-29 20:42:16 <luke-jr> 3,3,3,3,7,7,11,13,17,19,23,29
1561 2011-03-29 20:43:25 <SykeP> What we really need is simply to enable the full precision that's already built-in.
1562 2011-03-29 20:43:36 <blablaa> luke-jr, sorry, i had missed the explaination of why u're interested of the 12bits..
1563 2011-03-29 20:43:41 <luke-jr> SykeP: nothing to enable
1564 2011-03-29 20:43:49 <luke-jr> blablaa: shrug
1565 2011-03-29 20:43:56 <blablaa> luke-jr, u've 12bits for each.. ?
1566 2011-03-29 20:43:58 <SykeP> bitcoind sendtoaddress 12342342414123 1.2345678 will send 1.23
1567 2011-03-29 20:44:12 <SykeP> full precision is not enabled
1568 2011-03-29 20:44:30 <luke-jr> blablaa: right now, bitcoin values are stored at a 64-bit integer
1569 2011-03-29 20:44:37 <luke-jr> blablaa: but 21mil BTC only uses 51 bits max
1570 2011-03-29 20:44:44 <JFK911> im sure that guy is eager to send 0.00000001 btc tx spam
1571 2011-03-29 20:44:49 <luke-jr> that leaves 12 bits (plus a sign) for extension
1572 2011-03-29 20:44:49 <JFK911> hurry up and turn it on
1573 2011-03-29 20:45:00 <luke-jr> JFK911: it's already "on"
1574 2011-03-29 20:45:22 <blablaa> luke-jr, you could take the first 2^12 primes..
1575 2011-03-29 20:45:30 <blablaa> luke-jr, as denominators
1576 2011-03-29 20:45:31 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: huh, 0.3.18 bitcoin -daemon daemonizes properly but bitcoind -daemon doesnt, guess I didnt look close enough
1577 2011-03-29 20:45:43 <luke-jr> blablaa: but then you can't divide by more than one at a time
1578 2011-03-29 20:46:00 <blablaa> oh sorry, right..
1579 2011-03-29 20:46:02 <luke-jr> blablaa: which is necessary for non-primes
1580 2011-03-29 20:46:07 <luke-jr> actuallyâ¦
1581 2011-03-29 20:46:09 * luke-jr ponders
1582 2011-03-29 20:46:23 <blablaa> with just 12bits, something has to be sacrificed :)
1583 2011-03-29 20:46:39 <luke-jr> yeah, you need non-prime denominators for eg 1â9
1584 2011-03-29 20:47:00 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: Thanks for checking
1585 2011-03-29 20:47:10 <luke-jr> it might make sense to use only 3 bits for thirds, though

1617 2011-03-29 21:23:09 <phantomcircuit> xelister, well yeah and the swastika is still used by hindus today, that totally godwins an otherwise good insight
1618 2011-03-29 21:23:16 <phantomcircuit> and entirely needlessly too
1619 2011-03-29 21:23:57 <keegi> I have possibly silly question. Sorry if this is FAQ and because I did not delve too deep into the mechanism, but it was not obvious from the superficial overviews that I have read. So the question is - at the point when 21 million BTC have been given out, where will the new blocks to store transactions come from?
1620 2011-03-29 21:24:13 <nanotube> blocks still get generated
1621 2011-03-29 21:24:14 <nanotube> forever
1622 2011-03-29 21:24:21 <keegi> just not for reward?
1623 2011-03-29 21:24:37 <phantomcircuit> keegi, transactions have optional fees
1624 2011-03-29 21:24:48 <phantomcircuit> keegi, the fees will eventually sustain the block generation
1625 2011-03-29 21:25:23 <nanotube> see ,,(bc,wiki transaction fees)

1627 2011-03-29 21:25:25 <keegi> aha, the fees for transactions being put into the block are incentive for generating another block
1628 2011-03-29 21:25:30 <keegi> thanks
1629 2011-03-29 21:25:36 <nanotube> yep. np :)

1646 2011-03-29 21:43:08 <renderer> I have been studying money systems for a few years now. I think I have a good understanding of real-world economics in general. I can see that supply is limited (if your technology is good).

1649 2011-03-29 21:43:44 <phantomcircuit> renderer, why is there demand for anything?
1650 2011-03-29 21:43:47 <unping> if only 10 people in the world used dollars, nobody would want those either.
1651 2011-03-29 21:43:53 <renderer> Bitcoins do not convey a valuable commodity, nor do they represent an obligation of service, nor do they settle tax bills.
1652 2011-03-29 21:44:12 <phantomcircuit> renderer, bitcoins are analogous to gold

1655 2011-03-29 21:44:40 <renderer> dollars have value because if you don't have them, you can't work (if you're American), because you have to pay Income Tax in dollars

1658 2011-03-29 21:45:01 <Blitzboom> renderer: you donât want a decentralized currency if you want an entity that backs it up
1659 2011-03-29 21:45:11 <Blitzboom> fiat money should work fine then
1660 2011-03-29 21:45:16 <phantomcircuit> renderer, you can work for barter actually and then settle up with the IRS at the end of the year in dollars using an exchange rate
1661 2011-03-29 21:45:31 <alex5771> ok people I just got help up by some punk...so i go on a street and he pulls out a gun on me and asks for my money,so i go for my wallet and he is like u can keep that paper to wipe ur behind with,he demands a password to my bitcoin wallet on the android device i have so i gave it to him cause he threatened to kill me,anyway to get it back ?
1662 2011-03-29 21:46:13 <phantomcircuit> alex5771, no just like you cant get back the paper
1663 2011-03-29 21:46:21 <nanotube> right
1664 2011-03-29 21:46:34 <nanotube> just like with paper - don't carry around too much of it.
1665 2011-03-29 21:48:17 <alex5771> yea what i wrote was a joke,i guess BC will go mainstream when people get robbed for it
1666 2011-03-29 21:48:54 <blablaa> phantomcircuit, you can work but you've to sell the product to the owner of dollars
1667 2011-03-29 21:49:05 <blablaa> phantomcircuit, so in practice the mechanism works :)
1668 2011-03-29 21:49:20 <renderer> working for barter is no good if you still need the dollars for taxes. I don't think there is any example of a currency with no intrinsic value, no root demand - apart from maybe Yap Stones (a kind of physical bookkeeping system)
1669 2011-03-29 21:49:41 <phantomcircuit> blablaa, what?
1670 2011-03-29 21:50:02 <renderer> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones
1671 2011-03-29 21:50:10 <blablaa> <phantomcircuit> renderer, you can work for barter actually and then settle up with the IRS at the end of the year in dollars using an exchange rate
1672 2011-03-29 21:50:20 <phantomcircuit> blablaa, sure but there is effectively no difference between having to pay taxes in dollars or in bitcoins assuming very high liquidity
1673 2011-03-29 21:50:22 <blablaa> phantomcircuit, in the end this pushes up the "value" of the dollar
1674 2011-03-29 21:51:09 <alex5771> however a related question is,say if password is stolen for my wallet is it possible to trace the coins as they are being spend,they ecerything gets reported to the p2p system can IP's be traced?
1675 2011-03-29 21:51:22 <phantomcircuit> blablaa, sure but it's only temporary
1676 2011-03-29 21:52:08 <blablaa> phantomcircuit, no.. every time you pay taxes, wealth is transferred to owners of dollars
1677 2011-03-29 21:52:10 <phantomcircuit> blablaa, if everybody used bitcoins the conversion from dollars to bitcoins would be etr:1
1678 2011-03-29 21:53:28 <blablaa> etr?
1679 2011-03-29 21:53:44 <phantomcircuit> effective tax rate
1680 2011-03-29 21:53:44 <blablaa> renderer, the bookkeeping argument is interesting.
1681 2011-03-29 21:53:48 <renderer> I do desire a decentralised currency. I think the technical aspects of BC are very credible. But without a root demand, intrinsic value or taxing government, I do not expect it to work.
1682 2011-03-29 21:54:09 <SykeP> but it does already work
1683 2011-03-29 21:54:19 <SykeP> whether you believe or not

1686 2011-03-29 21:55:01 <SykeP> and of course fiat currencies never fail
1687 2011-03-29 21:55:42 <renderer> Is there a graph of exchage rate against physical commodities over time? I don't expect a stable exchange because the demand seems to be little more that enthusiasts and idealists trying it out.
1688 2011-03-29 21:55:49 <SykeP> and my us dollar bank could never fail, right?
1689 2011-03-29 21:55:51 <blablaa> SykeP, sure they do fail
1690 2011-03-29 21:56:14 <renderer> when a similar currency with intrinsic demand appears, BCs will become worthless (demand evaporates)
1691 2011-03-29 21:56:14 <blablaa> renderer, there is the exchange rate with the dollar
1692 2011-03-29 21:56:17 <nanotube> renderer: what props up gold, without 'root demand' and 'a government to prop them up' ?
1693 2011-03-29 21:56:34 <renderer> a very good question
1694 2011-03-29 21:56:35 <alex5771> renderer:there is requirment for taxing authority,there is just requirment for demand,in fiat currency thats provided by taxation,in BC world it can be provided by some big Wallmart or Amazon which would accept BC for lots of goods and services,more stores like that just streighten the currency
1695 2011-03-29 21:56:54 <blablaa> nanotube, gold industrial uses?
1696 2011-03-29 21:57:25 sabalaba has joined
1697 2011-03-29 21:57:30 <renderer> gold used to be in demand because it is distinctive, virtually counterfeit-free, and kings demanded taxes in coins of the stuff
1698 2011-03-29 21:57:32 <nanotube> blablaa: industrial demand for gold doesn't justify nearly the current price.
1699 2011-03-29 21:57:40 <nanotube> renderer: used to be.
1700 2011-03-29 21:57:50 <blablaa> nanotube, you've to take into account expected future uses too
1701 2011-03-29 21:58:03 <renderer> no. Gold is as scarce as Bismuth. Bit Bismuth is 1/100 the price - and more useful
1702 2011-03-29 21:58:27 <nanotube> the current world supply of gold,relative to its expected industrial use, is orders of magnitude larger.
1703 2011-03-29 21:58:45 <nanotube> most of the value is simply due to people using it as a store of value, and hedge against fiat currency inflation.
1704 2011-03-29 21:58:48 <renderer> the bankers own lots of gold. They make the rules. If they say gold henceforth is valid for taxation and/or issuing credit, it has value
1705 2011-03-29 21:58:52 <blablaa> nanotube, it has low storage costs, so why not mine it now and use it later?
1706 2011-03-29 21:58:53 <renderer> (I hold silver)
1707 2011-03-29 21:58:57 <nanotube> (in other word, not by 'intristic value')

1711 2011-03-29 21:59:53 <renderer> gold doesn't have a stable exchange rate (eg with grains, property etc). It appeared to be in terminal decline 15 years ago
1712 2011-03-29 21:59:55 <blablaa> nanotube, still, the only things that make it special is the really high weight/volume..
1713 2011-03-29 22:00:12 <blablaa> *the only property
1714 2011-03-29 22:00:25 <blablaa> uhm sorry, confused :)
1715 2011-03-29 22:00:34 <renderer> so I don't think gold is a good example of something with intrinsic value, stable as a currency.
1716 2011-03-29 22:01:10 <renderer> gold is more a fashion - like Beeny Babes, diamonds, exotic stamps
1717 2011-03-29 22:01:10 <nanotube> but as a medium of exchange, bitcoin has a combination of properties that make in unparalleled. easy verifiability, transferability, divisibility, scarcity, durability...
1718 2011-03-29 22:01:19 <nanotube> nothing else has the full complement of these.
1719 2011-03-29 22:02:01 <blablaa> nanotube, i see no need of any medium of exchange?
1720 2011-03-29 22:02:09 <blablaa> nanotube, on the other hand, i see need of bookkeeping.
1721 2011-03-29 22:02:25 <nanotube> blablaa: bitcoin is a means of decentralized bookkeeping.
1722 2011-03-29 22:02:44 <renderer> BC has these essential properties. So the web pages tell me. But as a medium of exchange, lacking root demand, lacking intrinsic value, lacking tax demand results in unstable value, probably ending in zero.
1723 2011-03-29 22:03:09 <nanotube> well, time will tell. :)
1724 2011-03-29 22:03:16 <renderer> perhaps you guys are hoping BC will operate by a "social contract"?
1725 2011-03-29 22:03:34 <blablaa> renderer, i also think so, so i'm here to watch how it'll play out :)
1726 2011-03-29 22:03:36 <nanotube> maybe anonymous transactions is one source of 'root demand'
1727 2011-03-29 22:04:05 <nanotube> heh that's what we're all here for. with varying degrees of participation. :)
1728 2011-03-29 22:04:08 <renderer> it's not what I call "root" because it doesn't tereminate a transfer chain.
1729 2011-03-29 22:04:40 <blablaa> renderer, bookkeping idea may has some merits
1730 2011-03-29 22:04:56 <blablaa> renderer, being rich in bitcoin could give social status maybe?
1731 2011-03-29 22:05:14 <blablaa> renderer, *maybe has some merits
1732 2011-03-29 22:05:35 <nanotube> just a different definition of 'root' ;) you assume 'use bitcoins themselves ultimately for something like ... eating them'. i mean, use them ultimately as a convenient means of exchange.
1733 2011-03-29 22:06:07 <renderer> I see BC was worth $0.0025 on May 22 2010 ($25 worth of pizza for 10,000 BC)
1734 2011-03-29 22:06:29 <blablaa> renderer, it went up due to slashdot
1735 2011-03-29 22:06:35 <unping> heh
1736 2011-03-29 22:06:41 <renderer> and in November, worth $0.50.
1737 2011-03-29 22:07:10 <blablaa> then $1.. now falling again..
1738 2011-03-29 22:07:18 <renderer> if the value fluctuates wildly, it may attract speculative holdings too - which do the system no good
1739 2011-03-29 22:08:04 <blablaa> nanotube, facebook, youtoube.. people are competing for listing as many friends as possible..
1740 2011-03-29 22:08:10 <blablaa> nanotube, "root value" :D
1741 2011-03-29 22:08:11 <blablaa> hehe
1742 2011-03-29 22:08:24 <renderer> Personally, I would design a currency by first analysing the economics, with implementation design being last
1743 2011-03-29 22:08:50 <blablaa> facebook and myspace, sorry.
1744 2011-03-29 22:09:18 <nanotube> heh
1745 2011-03-29 22:09:41 <renderer> BC seems to be crypto driving the implementation, without regard to economics (at least according to conventional economic theory)
1746 2011-03-29 22:09:51 <nanotube> renderer: so according to your logic... step1: set up a government that taxes people in renderer-coins ... ? :)
1747 2011-03-29 22:10:19 <renderer> that would be a valid way of doing it.
1748 2011-03-29 22:11:09 <phantomcircuit> good luck with that
1749 2011-03-29 22:11:18 <renderer> you can do it with contractual agreements to supply goods and/or services (see the "Real Bills Doctrine")
1750 2011-03-29 22:12:04 <nanotube> renderer: nobody's stopping you from setting up a store selling "stuff" in exchange for bitcoins.
1751 2011-03-29 22:12:06 <renderer> you can do it with agreements to exchange the currency for stored commodities too
1752 2011-03-29 22:13:30 <phantomcircuit> renderer, so what you're saying is, we should have gotten people to agree to pay us for services with something that we have not yet implemented?
1753 2011-03-29 22:13:32 <phantomcircuit> uh huh
1754 2011-03-29 22:13:35 <renderer> taxation, contracts for goods and/or services, exchangability are plausible root demands. In each case, the currency is "consumed" by being redeemed for one of these uses
1755 2011-03-29 22:13:39 <phantomcircuit> ill get right on that ;)
1756 2011-03-29 22:13:55 synisma has joined
1757 2011-03-29 22:14:14 <blablaa> renderer, social status is plausible?
1758 2011-03-29 22:14:14 <renderer> historically, cows were used as currency (hence "pecuniary" from Latin pecunia)
1759 2011-03-29 22:14:43 <renderer> also, grains have been used (rice, wheat especially)
1760 2011-03-29 22:15:02 <nanotube> renderer: we already have de-facto exchangability between bitcoins and a bunch of stuff - not least of which is existing fiat currencies.
1761 2011-03-29 22:15:08 <nanotube> so i guess that part of your plan is satisfied?
1762 2011-03-29 22:15:09 <renderer> and the grains moved to certificates for grains in a granary (eg ancient Egypt)
1763 2011-03-29 22:15:59 <renderer> exchange is not redemption. It provides an intermediate demand, not a final (root) demand
1764 2011-03-29 22:16:21 <unping> how do you "redeem" a dollar?
1765 2011-03-29 22:16:41 <renderer> the reason people want to exchange for it is because somebody else will need it
1766 2011-03-29 22:16:51 <nanotube> same with bitcoin :)
1767 2011-03-29 22:17:02 <renderer> you redeem dollars against taxation to the IRS or state government
1768 2011-03-29 22:17:25 <unping> ... so it's being exchanged to a different party and/or for a service...
1769 2011-03-29 22:17:37 <phantomcircuit> renderer, which is supposedly for a service
1770 2011-03-29 22:17:46 <renderer> that is the root demand. When governments stop collecting taxes, currencies lose value (except numismatic value)
1771 2011-03-29 22:17:52 <blablaa> unping, the government is the issuer, it doesn't "need" dollars in any sense
1772 2011-03-29 22:18:02 <unping> the fed is the issuer ;-]
1773 2011-03-29 22:18:11 <blablaa> well, it is a branch of the gov :)
1774 2011-03-29 22:18:13 <unping> the fed != gov
1775 2011-03-29 22:18:17 <unping> hehe ya true
1776 2011-03-29 22:18:42 <blablaa> unping, the issuer buying back his notes is called "redemption"..
1777 2011-03-29 22:18:43 <renderer> exactly. the US govt doesn't "need" dollars. It takes them out of circulation (actually settles T-bills at The Fed)
1778 2011-03-29 22:18:51 <blablaa> or taxing back
1779 2011-03-29 22:19:01 <EvanR-work> er. the government could raise money without taxes
1780 2011-03-29 22:19:17 <EvanR-work> then dollars become like shares
1781 2011-03-29 22:19:49 <renderer> in every successful currency, there is an ultimate *use*, where it is used up, (or stockpiled by the king for precious metals)
1782 2011-03-29 22:20:48 <blablaa> renderer, stockpiling isn't an use.. but we can presume it happens due to the expectation of a future use
1783 2011-03-29 22:20:50 <renderer> the government coult try to raise money without taxes. But public sector employees need a means of using up their pay
1784 2011-03-29 22:21:11 <EvanR-work> uhm
1785 2011-03-29 22:21:23 <EvanR-work> why do they suddenly have no way to use their pay

1808 2011-03-29 22:26:55 <sipa> 1/3 of a dollar has no solution in the natural numbers

1818 2011-03-29 22:29:23 <blablaa> renderer, given u like history, u should know there are no examples of developed economies without normal ("fractional reserve") banks
1819 2011-03-29 22:29:40 <nanotube> renderer: try "/msg alis list *bitcoin*" for a list of channels containing bitcoin.
1820 2011-03-29 22:30:00 <EvanR-work> there are however failed economies with normal banks
1821 2011-03-29 22:30:13 <EvanR-work> but correlation doesnt imply causation
1822 2011-03-29 22:30:38 <renderer> I don't think there's a bootstrapping problem. Modern banks have bootstrapped themselves into existence using governments to help them. But they are now enforced with violence (and threats thereof). If you don't pay your mortgage debts, the sheriff comes around and forces you out
1823 2011-03-29 22:31:07 <EvanR-work> is that part of the contract
1824 2011-03-29 22:31:21 <EvanR-work> you agree to forclosure
1825 2011-03-29 22:31:23 <renderer> if you did have a large user base, it could survive for a longer while

1828 2011-03-29 22:32:03 <renderer> yes. But it also means the banks can issue more money, and people want to take it - a derived demand

1832 2011-03-29 22:34:41 <renderer> If the lack of root demand for BC is seen as a problem, somebody will make a similar system which has root demand. Then the holders of BC may switch, increasing their supply in the market.
1833 2011-03-29 22:34:59 <xelister> about tax
1834 2011-03-29 22:35:06 <xelister> I do not know how it happens in usafaggistan
1835 2011-03-29 22:35:14 <EvanR-work> you think people care about root demand?
1836 2011-03-29 22:35:16 <xelister> but in many countries, you can pay tax in goods
1837 2011-03-29 22:35:37 <blablaa> EvanR-work, i just don't want silly regulation of credit like in the middle ages
1838 2011-03-29 22:35:40 <xelister> or if you do not, then first a debt-collector sales your stuff. Theoretically, he could sell bitcoins too, esp large amount
1839 2011-03-29 22:36:05 <renderer> people care when their currency hyperinflates. Market prices are set by Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand"
1840 2011-03-29 22:36:27 <EvanR-work> blablaa: that makes sense
1841 2011-03-29 22:36:35 <renderer> where can you pay tax in goods, xelister?
1842 2011-03-29 22:36:48 <blablaa> EvanR-work, and people who deny the yield curve DO ARE silly
1843 2011-03-29 22:37:02 <xelister> renderer: Im sure a debt collector (what was the correct english term) should sell your valuable stuff, e.g. to get money that you owe because of tax
1844 2011-03-29 22:37:23 <xelister> renderer: so it would work that way, if not normally, then the hard-way with tax collector involved

1906 2011-03-29 23:05:30 <renderer> if you are right, that every developed economy has fractional reserve banks, there should be a corresponding function with BC. But I think mutual credit is the way things should be going
1907 2011-03-29 23:06:09 <renderer> BoA was created to reduce transaction costs for merchants trading in and around the area

1920 2011-03-29 23:09:53 <blablaa> renderer, that people with ideas had the possibility to get loans
1921 2011-03-29 23:10:23 <renderer> FRNs cam a few centuries later. The question is what role did the BoA (Bank of Amsterdam) have in promoting and developing the economy
1922 2011-03-29 23:10:28 <phantomcircuit> bleh
1923 2011-03-29 23:10:39 <phantomcircuit> it takes fully 11 seconds to merge 500 blocks into the sqlite db

1929 2011-03-29 23:11:59 <phantomcircuit> this would take fully 4 days
1930 2011-03-29 23:12:06 <blablaa> renderer, do you deny there are different interest rates for different maturities?
1931 2011-03-29 23:12:09 <phantomcircuit> to download the full block chain
1932 2011-03-29 23:12:09 <renderer> you might be right, blablaa, but I have nothing to support your claim about bank credit in the 1500s and 1600s in Holland
1933 2011-03-29 23:12:20 <dirtyfilthy> phantomcircuit: is that validating it as well?
1934 2011-03-29 23:12:20 <renderer> no
1935 2011-03-29 23:12:54 <phantomcircuit> dirtyfilthy, no it's *only* putting the blocks/transactions into the db
1936 2011-03-29 23:13:49 <renderer> anyway... I was just leaving - and these 'dev' people probably want to talk dev issues
1937 2011-03-29 23:14:03 <blablaa> renderer, so, what is the problem with fractional reserve banking? they borrow short term funds and lend them for long term to credit-worthy borrowers..
1938 2011-03-29 23:14:17 <blablaa> renderer, this happens even when "money" has no carrying costs

1941 2011-03-29 23:15:15 <renderer> On FRL, there are tonnes of papers and books explaining the problem in detail - mostly from the Austrian School of economics.
1942 2011-03-29 23:15:16 <blablaa> renderer, right..

1944 2011-03-29 23:16:05 <blablaa> renderer, i think they deny the existence of the yield curve, which is silly
1945 2011-03-29 23:16:19 <renderer> not at all.
1946 2011-03-29 23:16:36 <renderer> they are really into the yield curve
1947 2011-03-29 23:16:41 <renderer> as I understand it
1948 2011-03-29 23:16:59 <EvanR> fractional reserve is funny, when i start a business, im going to sell my goods by taking their money, and claiming you can have the goods whenever you want bye
1949 2011-03-29 23:17:12 <blablaa> renderer, no, they're really into the idea that there is one interest rate, instead of one interest rate for each maturity and each commodity
1950 2011-03-29 23:17:16 <EvanR> call me when you go to make dinner and you can have the food
1951 2011-03-29 23:17:27 <EvanR> the government assures you ill have it
1952 2011-03-29 23:18:17 <renderer> doesn't one interest rate for each maturity allow for a yield curve?
1953 2011-03-29 23:18:42 <blablaa> renderer, yes, and usually short term rates are lower than long term rates
1954 2011-03-29 23:18:42 <EvanR> when you dont use the food you bought, ill just sell the food to someone else lol
1955 2011-03-29 23:18:45 <renderer> oh. sorry. I just read what you sair properly
1956 2011-03-29 23:19:02 <sipa> phantomcircuit: bitcoin -addnode=<ip>, with <ip> an ip from the fallback nodes on the wiki
1957 2011-03-29 23:19:05 <EvanR> fractional reserve, i sell the food to someone else even if you do use it xD
1958 2011-03-29 23:19:08 <blablaa> EvanR, telephone companies sell "your" line to someone else when u don't use it
1959 2011-03-29 23:19:10 <sipa> that'll go faster i suppose
1960 2011-03-29 23:19:19 <blablaa> EvanR, insuers sell "your" insurance to someone else when u don't use it
1961 2011-03-29 23:19:30 <renderer> I will read what they say more carefully. It's an interesting topic
1962 2011-03-29 23:19:49 <phantomcircuit> sipa, huh?
1963 2011-03-29 23:19:50 <EvanR> blablaa: its not the same thing, because if it were, the government wouldnt need to subsidize it
1964 2011-03-29 23:19:55 <phantomcircuit> sipa, my own client ;)
1965 2011-03-29 23:20:00 <sipa> oh, nevermind
1966 2011-03-29 23:20:03 <sipa> i wasn't following
1967 2011-03-29 23:20:38 <renderer> I find the Austrian economists deeply mistaken on natural resources, land and the commons. So I don't pay too much attention
1968 2011-03-29 23:21:13 <renderer> OK. Bye!
1969 2011-03-29 23:21:20 <EvanR> blablaa: without tax payer money, 10% minimum ratio would not be a viable business model

1975 2011-03-29 23:23:04 <blablaa> sorry, are < 1%
1976 2011-03-29 23:23:17 <EvanR> that would be absurd
1977 2011-03-29 23:23:27 <EvanR> thats a 100x multiplication of the money supply

1980 2011-03-29 23:24:46 <phantomcircuit> hmm
1981 2011-03-29 23:24:52 <phantomcircuit> it's because of the auto flushign behavior

1988 2011-03-29 23:27:58 <EvanR> no reserve requirement for banks up to 10 million ?
1989 2011-03-29 23:28:04 <EvanR> so they can loan as much as they want?
1990 2011-03-29 23:28:53 <blablaa> EvanR, yes
1991 2011-03-29 23:29:19 <EvanR> hold on to your ass
1992 2011-03-29 23:29:21 <EvanR> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_requirement
1993 2011-03-29 23:30:20 <EvanR> To be well-capitalized under federal bank regulatory agency definitions, a bank holding company must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%
1994 2011-03-29 23:30:25 <EvanR> lol
1995 2011-03-29 23:30:27 <EvanR> ?_?
1996 2011-03-29 23:30:37 <EvanR> no wonder the banks collapsed

2000 2011-03-29 23:31:28 <EvanR> obviously the pitiful model of fractional reserve usually discussed here is grossly naive
2001 2011-03-29 23:31:33 <EvanR> unprofessional even
2002 2011-03-29 23:31:37 <EvanR> needs more complexity
2003 2011-03-29 23:31:44 <blablaa> EvanR, heh.. they don't collapse because depositors whims are wildly fluctuating..
2004 2011-03-29 23:32:03 <blablaa> EvanR, they collapse because the companies that have borrowed are unproductive..
2005 2011-03-29 23:33:00 <EvanR> i think they collapsed because no one could make sense of the banking regulations and or get reliable data about whether the bank is well capitalized, if such a think can be objectively determined
