  33 2011-04-25 00:06:52 <daveparrish> Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me figure this out.  I've compiled namecoin but others cannot run the binary because of the error: "program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer"
  34 2011-04-25 00:07:02 <JFK911> aha so it is versioned
  35 2011-04-25 00:07:06 <JFK911> i wonder if you got the wrong version?
  36 2011-04-25 00:07:20 <JFK911> i personally dont know about boost or which one is correct
  37 2011-04-25 00:07:24 <Guest71697> i dont know ? how i can fix it?
  38 2011-04-25 00:07:51 <gjs278> I just try different versions until it compiles

  54 2011-04-25 00:13:45 <AAA_awright> ... Why can't we just use a DHT to store the block chain? Because of chance of catastrophic failure?
  55 2011-04-25 00:14:22 <AAA_awright> That should probably be the default for non-miners, maybe
  56 2011-04-25 00:14:29 <AAA_awright> wait hmm
  57 2011-04-25 00:14:40 <AAA_awright> There's probably some way to secure it, I can imagine
  58 2011-04-25 00:18:14 <phantomcircuit_> AAA_awright, because a DHT is not tolerant against attackers

 142 2011-04-25 01:18:21 <gjs278> find a pool and join it. your choices are either deepbit.net or mining.bitcoin.cz
 143 2011-04-25 01:18:28 <gjs278> then you put in the pool information
 144 2011-04-25 01:18:30 xxxxxxx is now known as xxxxxxx`brb
 145 2011-04-25 01:18:38 <gjs278> you complete shares, they give you coins on your account
 146 2011-04-25 01:18:53 <gjs278> you give your bitcoin address to the pools, they send you your coins when you hit your limit
 147 2011-04-25 01:19:22 <Anon__> is being apart of a pool optional?

 169 2011-04-25 01:29:56 <sipa> install bdb with c++ libraries
 170 2011-04-25 01:30:28 <gjs278> if it's still not found after that, you have to set the prefix for your db version
 171 2011-04-25 01:30:34 <gjs278> worry about that later if installing it doesn't work

 178 2011-04-25 01:34:01 <prograle> so that it includes the lib from that path
 179 2011-04-25 01:34:09 <prograle> and not from /usr/lib

 182 2011-04-25 01:36:27 <prograle> CXXFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.7/lib/" should work?

 204 2011-04-25 01:52:33 <phantomcircuit_> gjs278, the modifications necessary on gentoo and ubuntu are minimal consisting of a single line

 209 2011-04-25 01:53:45 <phantomcircuit_> gjs278, the main problem is that there is no way to automatically detect the location of the bdb headers/libraries
 210 2011-04-25 01:53:59 <phantomcircuit_> autotools has a list of likely locations ffs
 211 2011-04-25 01:54:37 <gjs278> at the very least something should be tacked into build-unix.txt

 215 2011-04-25 01:58:56 <prograle> on centos 5.5 i wasnt able to even compile it
 216 2011-04-25 01:59:08 <prograle> because it was asking me to upgrade the whole glibc from 2.3 to 2.9
 217 2011-04-25 01:59:11 <prograle> too much

 228 2011-04-25 02:14:41 <sec^nd> hello
 229 2011-04-25 02:14:52 <sec^nd> is there a fix for the lost bitcoins yet ?
 230 2011-04-25 02:14:56 * sec^nd thinks not
 231 2011-04-25 02:15:13 <sec^nd> that blackhole is a problem imo
 232 2011-04-25 02:15:42 <sec^nd> if the ammount of bitcoins is fixed and some are lost then eventually there wont be anymore bitcoins
 233 2011-04-25 02:16:00 <sec^nd> also you won't know how many bitcoins are still in the network because you lost some
 234 2011-04-25 02:16:04 * sec^nd is just saying ...
 235 2011-04-25 02:16:27 <midnightmagic> what blackhole?
 236 2011-04-25 02:16:40 <midnightmagic> ah the fake one.
 237 2011-04-25 02:16:47 <sec^nd> its not fake
 238 2011-04-25 02:17:07 <midnightmagic> you did know that btc can be divided down to 8 decimal places right?
 239 2011-04-25 02:17:22 prograle has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
 240 2011-04-25 02:17:34 <sec^nd> if you mistype a bitcoin address (copy pasta fail off by 1 char) then you will lose the bitcoins you sent to said address
 241 2011-04-25 02:17:35 <midnightmagic> each bitcoin can represent 100,000,000 units of something.
 242 2011-04-25 02:17:47 <sec^nd> midnightmagic: understand me now ?
 243 2011-04-25 02:17:55 <midnightmagic> lol
 244 2011-04-25 02:18:03 <midnightmagic> try validateaddress
 245 2011-04-25 02:18:08 <sec^nd> thats the blackhole
 246 2011-04-25 02:18:12 <sec^nd> do they have that yet ?
 247 2011-04-25 02:18:14 <midnightmagic> not much of a blackhole.
 248 2011-04-25 02:18:19 <sec^nd> heh
 249 2011-04-25 02:18:22 <sec^nd> mistakes happen
 250 2011-04-25 02:18:23 <tcatm> sec^nd: bitcoin will detect mistyped addresses
 251 2011-04-25 02:18:41 <sacarlson> sec^nd: I see in the code that the last 4 bytes are a hash to verify the address is valid so not likly that would hapen
 252 2011-04-25 02:18:51 <sec^nd> well I accidentally sent coins to a server that was wiped, anyway to get them back ?
 253 2011-04-25 02:18:58 <midnightmagic> what, did you delete your wallet by accident?
 254 2011-04-25 02:19:11 <sec^nd> empty wallet on another system
 255 2011-04-25 02:19:20 <tcatm> sec^nd: nope. they're gone. that's a feature of bitcoin, not a bug.
 256 2011-04-25 02:19:28 <sec^nd> while playing with bitcoin (lost little) but notice it as a bug
 257 2011-04-25 02:19:31 <sec^nd> how is that a feature ?
 258 2011-04-25 02:19:34 <midnightmagic> yeah, if you aren't just trolling, i suspect a large percentage of people whining about the "blackhole" were being careless with their money
 259 2011-04-25 02:20:03 <tcatm> all transactions are final and non-reversible
 260 2011-04-25 02:20:07 <tcatm> that's the feature
 261 2011-04-25 02:21:41 <sacarlson> tcatm: but soon hopfully to add escrow we will also have limited reversible
 262 2011-04-25 02:23:14 <tcatm> an escrow added to bitcoin itself will likely only allow to a) give to payee or b) destroy bitcoins
 263 2011-04-25 02:24:10 <midnightmagic> would it be possible to pay to two addresses?
 264 2011-04-25 02:24:15 <midnightmagic> i forget now..
 265 2011-04-25 02:24:32 <tcatm> sendmany?
 266 2011-04-25 02:25:34 <midnightmagic> so two other addresses have the authority to subsequently spend, but only for that next hop.
 267 2011-04-25 02:25:40 <sacarlson> tcatm: that would likly be the first but I would also like a group pools money and with the vote of the majority to send it all to one in the group or if less than 50% return to all parties
 268 2011-04-25 02:26:17 <midnightmagic> in that fashion, you can spend to a local and a remote, and once verified at the remote, you spend to another local there. you eliminate the possibility of moving bitcoins (as sec) losing them.
 269 2011-04-25 02:26:21 <tcatm> sacarlson: that might be possible, too
 270 2011-04-25 02:26:23 <midnightmagic> (assuming they use it)

 272 2011-04-25 02:27:33 <tcatm> midnightmagic: how would that help? either receiver or sender could send the coins to a new address as soon as the tx is valid
 273 2011-04-25 02:28:26 xlogik_ has quit (Quit: Leaving)
 274 2011-04-25 02:28:36 <midnightmagic> right, and if all the addresses all belong to the same person, then it stays in two wallets until he decides to put it into the local wallet at the remote end.
 275 2011-04-25 02:29:02 xlogik_ has joined
 276 2011-04-25 02:29:05 <midnightmagic> (so, two transactions)
 277 2011-04-25 02:29:41 <midnightmagic> and eventually it becomes a "pay extra to be extra-safe" moving around within a trusted network of wallets.
 278 2011-04-25 02:30:31 <devrandom> midnightmagic - I started a thread on that

 299 2011-04-25 02:38:04 <sacarlson> Roncevaux: spesmilo has several languages in setup
 300 2011-04-25 02:38:46 <Roncevaux> And what is spesmilo?
 301 2011-04-25 02:38:58 <sacarlson> Roncevaux: it's another user interface to bitcoind
 302 2011-04-25 02:39:07 <devrandom> sacarlson - gavin seemed to agree it works
 303 2011-04-25 02:39:24 <Roncevaux> Well, I've already installed the original client and would like to use it
 304 2011-04-25 02:40:01 <sacarlson> devrandom: I would like more details on how to set that up,  I didn't read the entire article yet
 305 2011-04-25 02:40:27 <sacarlson> devrandom: I run the git version in my present coins but I can patch them if needed
 306 2011-04-25 02:40:31 <devrandom> sacarlson - it's a pretty straightforward application of the scripting engine, and I did look at the relevant code details
 307 2011-04-25 02:41:22 <devrandom> you'd have to disable the IsStandard check or extend it, so that you can mine these transactions
 308 2011-04-25 02:41:38 <devrandom> right now miners reject the tx for mining of !IsStandard
 309 2011-04-25 02:41:48 <luke-jr> not all
 310 2011-04-25 02:41:52 <devrandom> and you'd have to generate the relevant script
 311 2011-04-25 02:41:57 <devrandom> oh, right

 337 2011-04-25 02:48:17 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: so do it ;p
 338 2011-04-25 02:48:34 <devrandom> oh, so you want to implement a gambling interface on top of the blockchain?
 339 2011-04-25 02:48:35 <midnightmagic> not interested in maintaining a fork (yet)
 340 2011-04-25 02:48:43 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: you could just merge mine :p
 341 2011-04-25 02:48:45 <midnightmagic> gambling. yeh hehe
 342 2011-04-25 02:49:12 <sacarlson> devrandom:  yes a block chain could be setup as a p2p open casino
 343 2011-04-25 02:49:14 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: git pull git://gitorious.org/~Luke-Jr/bitcoin/luke-jr-bitcoin.git policy
 344 2011-04-25 02:49:41 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: then -addnode=173.242.112.53 and add yourself to the table on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Free_transaction_relay_policy
 345 2011-04-25 02:50:05 <midnightmagic> is that production net? or your own testnet?
 346 2011-04-25 02:50:11 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: production net
 347 2011-04-25 02:50:12 <devrandom> sacarlson - would you implement the random number generator cryptographically in the blockchain?
 348 2011-04-25 02:50:50 <midnightmagic> what's the point of addnode'ing yours?
 349 2011-04-25 02:50:57 <sacarlson> devrandom: yes it uses the same code in the crypto just different rules in inflation
 350 2011-04-25 02:51:00 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: that's just the free tx relay node
 351 2011-04-25 02:51:09 <midnightmagic> oh
 352 2011-04-25 02:51:10 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: if you don't peer with it, you can't send/receive non-standard txns
 353 2011-04-25 02:51:19 <luke-jr> (slightly oversimplified)
 354 2011-04-25 02:52:43 <phantomcircuit_> lol
 355 2011-04-25 02:52:45 <phantomcircuit_> <3 python
 356 2011-04-25 02:52:53 <phantomcircuit_> i just replaced 500 loc in php with reduce(lambda x,y: x+len(y),tree.xpath('//text()'),0)
 357 2011-04-25 02:53:06 <phantomcircuit_> the guy was like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
 358 2011-04-25 02:53:28 <sacarlson> devrandom: the new chains that run now have the ability to create 99% of all it's value in the first 1000 blocks then inflation drops to block creation minning value drop to .01weed per minned block
 359 2011-04-25 02:53:45 <midnightmagic> peering with it is not a requirement for non-standard txn, but it helps to join it and link up with other similar-minded miners.
 360 2011-04-25 02:54:11 skeledrew has joined
 361 2011-04-25 02:54:59 <midnightmagic> all i'd really need to do is ensure i can mine my own non-standard txn into the blockchain reliably.
 362 2011-04-25 02:55:05 <devrandom> sacarlson - oh, you are just changing the currency rules, you are not doing any random number generation in the chain itself...
 363 2011-04-25 02:55:57 <sacarlson> devrandom: it's the same code it still uses new random numbers to create new chains
 364 2011-04-25 02:56:10 <devrandom> ok
 365 2011-04-25 02:56:20 <[Tycho]> "Free transaction relay policy" looks a bit strange, considering that the fee is mandatory :)
 366 2011-04-25 02:57:10 <sacarlson> devrandom: in these envirnments you can create faster changes and inovation
 367 2011-04-25 02:57:17 <devrandom> sacarlson - are you using the block hashes as seeds when generating the poker deck shuffle?
 368 2011-04-25 02:57:34 dust1 has joined
 369 2011-04-25 02:58:22 <luke-jr> [Tycho]: the fee is not mandatory for relaying
 370 2011-04-25 02:58:26 <sacarlson> devrandom: in the pokerth I use there original code just have the players make a deposit into the escrow to start the game and the winner in the group get the pot
 371 2011-04-25 02:58:29 <luke-jr> [Tycho]: that's the point of the page: free relaying
 372 2011-04-25 02:58:39 <devrandom> sacarlson - ok
 373 2011-04-25 02:59:55 <sacarlson> devrandom: so with this method you could play a game with entry of .05btc or 1000weeds and that could buy you 10000 chips to start your pokerth game
 374 2011-04-25 02:59:57 <luke-jr> [Tycho]: also, my miner does require fees to get into a block, BUT those fees are much less than the default (except when default gives them away)
 375 2011-04-25 03:00:27 <devrandom> sacarlson - is weeds yet another chain?
 376 2011-04-25 03:00:52 <sacarlson> devrandom: yes weeds is just another chain with different rules
 377 2011-04-25 03:00:56 <devrandom> or is that the chain you are talking about earlier, and the chips are not a chain
 378 2011-04-25 03:01:39 <sacarlson> devrandom: I have many chains with different rules and different names some have died some may live on
 379 2011-04-25 03:01:50 <devrandom> cool
 380 2011-04-25 03:02:45 <sacarlson> devrandom: I'm also working on a multi net client that enable transactions on many networks,  I have a working version but with no user interface

 390 2011-04-25 03:06:42 <devrandom> maybe it makes sense to write a separate program that interacts with multiple bitcoind instances using RPC?
 391 2011-04-25 03:06:52 <sacarlson> devrandom: not when you have the help here from the developers when you can't figure it out they point the way

 430 2011-04-25 03:42:49 <netxshare> what are the recommend settings for a 5970
 431 2011-04-25 03:42:52 <netxshare> got one today
 432 2011-04-25 03:47:47 <midnightmagic> netxshare, luke-jr will mock you and laugh at you if you overclock it even a little and it fails..  so if you are interested in making luke-jr happy, leave it run stock. else, if you can keep it below 85C (or 80C) then you should be able to overclock it marginally to get a few more hash.  but people are leery of coaching you on it because nobody wants to be responsible for killing your 5970
 433 2011-04-25 03:48:30 <luke-jr> netxshare: overclocking equals damaging. if it's worth significantly shortening your card's life, do it.

 437 2011-04-25 03:49:11 <midnightmagic> and upon what do you base this opinion?
 438 2011-04-25 03:50:02 <[Tycho]> netxshare, i'm using 5970 slightly overclocked - at 800 MHz GPU and underclocked VRAM.
 439 2011-04-25 03:50:14 dfc has joined
 440 2011-04-25 03:50:23 <B0g4r7> I run mine at the stock clock speed.
 441 2011-04-25 03:50:39 <B0g4r7> Once I get liquid cooling going I may fool around with moar cl0ck.
 442 2011-04-25 03:51:00 <[Tycho]> 5870 is fine at 930, but some people use it at 950 MHz
 443 2011-04-25 03:51:17 <B0g4r7> I figure the coolers are already working working damned hard doing 24/7 duty.
 444 2011-04-25 03:51:29 <B0g4r7> Which they surely were not designed for.
 445 2011-04-25 03:51:38 <B0g4r7> 100% load, 100% duty cycle.
 446 2011-04-25 03:51:47 <[Tycho]> Watercooling is way too expensive, but sometimes allow 3 cards in one MB :)
 447 2011-04-25 03:52:13 <[Tycho]> No, fan shouldn't run at 100%, usually 50-75% is enough.
 448 2011-04-25 03:52:29 <B0g4r7> Mine run 70%.
 449 2011-04-25 03:52:30 <luke-jr> cooling can make it give you valid results overclocked, but won't stop it from damaging the card
 450 2011-04-25 03:52:42 <TheKid> quick question - what's the command to let miners connect from other ips
 451 2011-04-25 03:53:10 <davex__> it wouldn't necessarily damage it, i don't think.  only if it runs too hot for too long.
 452 2011-04-25 03:53:20 <luke-jr> davex__: it does.
 453 2011-04-25 03:53:29 <luke-jr> TheKid: -rpcallowip=*.*.*.*
 454 2011-04-25 03:53:34 <luke-jr> or something like that
 455 2011-04-25 03:53:42 <davex__> artforz was talking about this once
 456 2011-04-25 03:54:00 <B0g4r7> Yeah, how does it gt damaged exactly?
 457 2011-04-25 03:54:00 <TheKid> thanks luke-jr
 458 2011-04-25 03:54:08 <luke-jr> B0g4r7: nobody knows afaik
 459 2011-04-25 03:54:36 <B0g4r7> And damaged how.  Like inoperable?
 460 2011-04-25 03:54:39 <luke-jr> B0g4r7: could vary from card to card, possibly
 461 2011-04-25 03:54:43 <luke-jr> B0g4r7: shorter lifetime
 462 2011-04-25 03:54:51 <TheKid> technically it's just a risk
 463 2011-04-25 03:54:52 <[Tycho]> Looks like luke-jr doesn't knows enough about hardware...
 464 2011-04-25 03:55:02 <TheKid> because the card is engineered to run at a certain frequency
 465 2011-04-25 03:55:29 <TheKid> you can run it faster but then the manufacturer makes no guarantee about the mtbf
 466 2011-04-25 03:55:41 <luke-jr> TheKid: sometimes they give estimates
 467 2011-04-25 03:55:51 <[Tycho]> If you run it faster, but temps are not to high, then lifetime is not affected.
 468 2011-04-25 03:55:58 <luke-jr> for example, OMAP3 is supposed to last 2-3 years or something at its standard 500 MHz
 469 2011-04-25 03:56:09 <luke-jr> but if you run it at 600 MHz, TI says it will last 1 year
 470 2011-04-25 03:56:27 <[Tycho]> 2-3 years is almost nothing, what a bad chip is your OMAP...
 471 2011-04-25 03:56:48 <luke-jr> [Tycho]: maybe it was longer, I really just remember the 600 MHz speed cuz that's what Nokia set default :P
 472 2011-04-25 03:57:17 <luke-jr> catch being, they expect it to be idle most of the time anyway
 473 2011-04-25 03:57:38 <luke-jr> cuz if you actually keep it at the 600 MHz constantly, the battery won't last long :P
 474 2011-04-25 03:57:47 <[Tycho]> Pentium processors are working tens of years just fine :)
 475 2011-04-25 03:57:55 <luke-jr> [Tycho]: overclocked?
 476 2011-04-25 03:58:24 <[Tycho]> No. I have one without fan, running 24/7 for more than 10 y.
 477 2011-04-25 03:58:28 <B0g4r7> I'm using 10 year old Athlon chips.
 478 2011-04-25 03:58:38 <luke-jr> Pentiums ran without fans?
 479 2011-04-25 03:58:43 <[Tycho]> yes.
 480 2011-04-25 03:58:54 <[Tycho]> It's not AMD :)
 481 2011-04-25 03:59:03 <dfc> luke-jr is a young-in
 482 2011-04-25 03:59:06 <luke-jr> I just recently found I couldn't boot an i386
 483 2011-04-25 03:59:20 <luke-jr> dfc: no, I just thought my Pentium had fans :P
 484 2011-04-25 03:59:34 <[Tycho]> I don't know english terms, but the lifetime shortening is caused by thermal emission. So if your cooling is fine then GPU will work long enough.
 485 2011-04-25 03:59:48 <[Tycho]> Anyway you'll sell or replace your card in a few years.
 486 2011-04-25 04:00:05 <luke-jr> it's fraud to sell an overclocked card unless you say it outright.
 487 2011-04-25 04:00:31 <netxshare> luke-jr: I had seening underclocking helps
 488 2011-04-25 04:00:44 <netxshare> right now the 5970 runs at like 83-84C

 492 2011-04-25 04:02:30 <[Tycho]> luke-jr, what is your experience, if measured in quantity of fried 5870/5970 cards ?
 493 2011-04-25 04:02:59 <[Tycho]> netxshare, you'll get 580 at 800 MHz.
 494 2011-04-25 04:03:26 <netxshare> the shader clock?
 495 2011-04-25 04:03:34 <netxshare> er core clock
 496 2011-04-25 04:03:42 <[Tycho]> Yes.
 497 2011-04-25 04:03:51 <[Tycho]> Memory can be set at 500 or 300 MHz.
 498 2011-04-25 04:04:03 <netxshare> okay
 499 2011-04-25 04:04:28 <[Tycho]> Underclocking memory will make the card more power-efficient.
 500 2011-04-25 04:04:39 <[Tycho]> 40W less or something like it.
 501 2011-04-25 04:05:40 <netxshare> ill go test this, thanks for the info
 502 2011-04-25 04:09:26 <[Tycho]> Use MSI Afterburner to control the fan speed.
 503 2011-04-25 04:09:31 <Compgenius> i see bitcoin is lagging a bit...

 505 2011-04-25 04:10:00 <[Tycho]> Or set it to a higher value because it's better to be less than +80C

 533 2011-04-25 04:31:36 <max__> bitcoind shouldnt listen on port 8333 when its in server mode?
 534 2011-04-25 04:32:11 <max__> 8332 is the rpc port righht? and 8333 ?
 535 2011-04-25 04:32:16 <netxshare> I also don't want to run 1 process per gpu
 536 2011-04-25 04:32:39 <Compgenius> max__, no 8332 is for a json server, 8333 is the main port for bitcoin
 537 2011-04-25 04:33:21 <max__> okay i have bitcoind running as a json rpc server, right?
 538 2011-04-25 04:33:30 <max__> and now, how do i open port 8333 ?
 539 2011-04-25 04:33:54 <max__> i need to run bitcoin in client mode to open port 8333 ?
 540 2011-04-25 04:34:36 <max__> isnt there a way to run bitcoind that will open both? 8332 and 8333 ?
 541 2011-04-25 04:34:49 <Compgenius> max__, i'm unsure about the whole bitcoind server, but yeah generally it should listen on 8333 for node  connections
 542 2011-04-25 04:35:06 <max__> maybe if i run bitcoin in daemon mode it will open both?

 546 2011-04-25 04:39:51 <max__> doublec: i think the bitcoin client runs on 8333 by default
 547 2011-04-25 04:39:57 <doublec> yes
 548 2011-04-25 04:40:00 <max__> doublec: if i run bitcoind it runs on 8332

 572 2011-04-25 04:43:46 <netxshare> sleepy time
 573 2011-04-25 04:43:52 <Compgenius> thats strange
 574 2011-04-25 04:43:57 <dfc> whats the most efficient way to connect 10 miners to a pool? individual connections tothe pool?
 575 2011-04-25 04:44:06 <[Tycho]> Yes.
 576 2011-04-25 04:44:19 <max__> Comgenius: yes its very weird
 577 2011-04-25 04:44:21 <Compgenius> it's even more strange, theres 2 zombie bitcoin processes
 578 2011-04-25 04:44:22 <dfc> [Tycho]: i thought the getwork connections were a problem
 579 2011-04-25 04:44:27 <Compgenius> sounds like something's going wrogn there
 580 2011-04-25 04:44:41 <dfc> killall -9 bitcoin
 581 2011-04-25 04:44:43 <max__> Compgenius: yes i want to kill them without need to restart
 582 2011-04-25 04:44:51 <dfc> killall -9 bitcoin
 583 2011-04-25 04:44:53 <Compgenius> do what dfc said ^
 584 2011-04-25 04:45:02 <max__> killall -9 bitcoin worked
 585 2011-04-25 04:45:04 <max__> thxs
 586 2011-04-25 04:45:39 <dfc> was [Tycho]'s yes an answer to my question about multiple connections to a pool server?
 587 2011-04-25 04:45:50 <dfc> for what its worth all the miners are on the same subnet

 589 2011-04-25 04:47:33 <[Tycho]> dfc, why would getwork connections be a problem ?
 590 2011-04-25 04:47:57 <dfc> i thought the pool servers where having issues with the numer of getwork requests
 591 2011-04-25 04:48:00 <max__> doublec: bitcoin -server isnt openning both ports 8333 and 8332
 592 2011-04-25 04:48:00 <max__> it just opens 8332
 593 2011-04-25 04:48:00 <max__> weird
 594 2011-04-25 04:48:05 <max__> maybe i need to wait a bit for 8333 to connect?
 595 2011-04-25 04:48:12 <dfc> hence the push for push-pooling
 596 2011-04-25 04:48:16 <doublec> max__: how are you checking they are open?
 597 2011-04-25 04:48:24 <dfc> listening or connecting
 598 2011-04-25 04:48:25 <max__> telnet localhost 8332
 599 2011-04-25 04:48:28 <max__> telnet localhost 8333

 602 2011-04-25 04:48:36 <[Tycho]> dfc, my server doesn't :) Some others had problems, but not sure if they still do.
 603 2011-04-25 04:48:48 <dfc> [Tycho]: which is yours
 604 2011-04-25 04:48:52 <doublec> 8333 is a shy server. It won't send anything unless you send a version btw
 605 2011-04-25 04:49:05 <doublec> (although it will connect)
 606 2011-04-25 04:49:19 <max__> i need to open port 8333 and port 8332
 607 2011-04-25 04:49:19 <max__> because im running pushpool and it needs both
 608 2011-04-25 04:49:26 <[Tycho]> dfc, deepbit.net
 609 2011-04-25 04:49:48 <doublec> check the debug log and see if there are any errors

 613 2011-04-25 04:50:18 <[Tycho]> dfc, you have to do all the getwork requests anyway, even with a proxy :)
 614 2011-04-25 04:50:48 <dfc> so how about the push-pool daemon from garzik
 615 2011-04-25 04:50:51 <max__> dfc: done it does nothing

 629 2011-04-25 04:52:38 <dfc> why would one run a push-pool server?
 630 2011-04-25 04:52:48 <dfc> on a small scale?

 702 2011-04-25 05:00:43 <dfc> why do you want to run pushpool?
 703 2011-04-25 05:00:52 <max__> so port 8333 is open yes, netstat gives me a few connections
 704 2011-04-25 05:00:52 <max__> now?
 705 2011-04-25 05:00:57 <max__> i want to become pushpool developer too

 712 2011-04-25 05:01:50 <dfc> if you dont know how to run netstat dont you think the coding is going to be a problem?
 713 2011-04-25 05:02:11 <doublec> max__: there we go - you have successfully run it with port 8333 available
 714 2011-04-25 05:02:19 <max__> i ran the netstat
 715 2011-04-25 05:02:19 <max__> i already told you
 716 2011-04-25 05:02:20 <max__> in netsta both ports seems to be open
 717 2011-04-25 05:02:22 <max__> 8333 and 8332
 718 2011-04-25 05:02:45 <doublec> max__: so what's your issue? You asked how to run bitcoins with 8333 and 8332 open
 719 2011-04-25 05:02:47 lumos has joined
 720 2011-04-25 05:02:49 <doublec> max__: you have. problem solved.
 721 2011-04-25 05:02:55 <doublec> max__: and you're welcome
 722 2011-04-25 05:02:58 <dfc> what does netstat -an |grep 833 |grep LISTEN say
 723 2011-04-25 05:03:16 <max__> yes however when i telnet localhost 8333 and localhost 8332
 724 2011-04-25 05:03:16 <max__> it just works for 8332
 725 2011-04-25 05:03:26 <max__> it says..
 726 2011-04-25 05:03:26 <doublec> define 'works'
 727 2011-04-25 05:03:26 <dfc> just works?
 728 2011-04-25 05:03:32 <doublec> what does telnet to 8333 do
 729 2011-04-25 05:03:41 <dfc> dude telnet to google.com 443
 730 2011-04-25 05:03:47 <dfc> does that work?
 731 2011-04-25 05:03:51 <max__> dhcppc2:~/.bitcoin # netstat -an |grep 833 | grep LISTEN tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8332          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
 732 2011-04-25 05:04:02 <dfc> okay
 733 2011-04-25 05:04:15 <dfc> so you are only listening on 8332
 734 2011-04-25 05:04:19 redengin has joined
 735 2011-04-25 05:04:26 <dfc> anything you saw for 8333 was outbound
 736 2011-04-25 05:05:02 <max__> 8333 has the IP 192.168.0.2
 737 2011-04-25 05:05:02 <max__> however
 738 2011-04-25 05:05:02 <max__> 8332 has 127.0.0.1
 739 2011-04-25 05:05:09 <max__> i think that might be the problem
 740 2011-04-25 05:05:15 <dfc> so why was it not in the past above?
 741 2011-04-25 05:05:21 <max__> i was expecting 8333 to be listening on 127.0.0.1
 742 2011-04-25 05:05:36 <Kiba> hmm
 743 2011-04-25 05:05:45 <max__> thats why telnet doesnt work
 744 2011-04-25 05:05:48 <dfc> you are on your own i have stuff to do

 767 2011-04-25 05:11:15 <gjs278> I don't think you can do both ports with one bitcoin app
 768 2011-04-25 05:11:40 <max__> so how can i do both ports?
 769 2011-04-25 05:11:40 <max__> i dont mind to open two apps
 770 2011-04-25 05:12:06 <gjs278> I really don't see any setting for this 8333 that you want to open
 771 2011-04-25 05:12:17 <gjs278> what does it use by default for you
 772 2011-04-25 05:12:29 <max__> i know that ports 8332 is open when i open bitcoind
 773 2011-04-25 05:12:29 <max__> however im not able to open 8333
 774 2011-04-25 05:12:34 <max__> i know how to open 8333 on my win machine

 778 2011-04-25 05:12:46 <max__> it doesnt
 779 2011-04-25 05:13:03 xxxxxxx`brb is now known as xxxxxxx
 780 2011-04-25 05:13:18 <gjs278> yeah I have no idea
 781 2011-04-25 05:16:23 <doublec> max__: do you have multiple network adapters on your linux machine?
 782 2011-04-25 05:16:50 <max__> nopes
 783 2011-04-25 05:16:59 <max__> its a vmware virtual machine btw
 784 2011-04-25 05:17:25 <max__> on windows
 785 2011-04-25 05:17:25 <max__> if i open
 786 2011-04-25 05:17:25 <max__> it opens port 8333
 787 2011-04-25 05:17:25 <max__> the regular bitcoin client
 788 2011-04-25 05:17:27 <max__> and i can telnet to it
 789 2011-04-25 05:17:33 <max__> however in linux
 790 2011-04-25 05:17:36 <max__> i dont know how to do that
 791 2011-04-25 05:18:02 <doublec> in linux for me it runs on port 8333 too
 792 2011-04-25 05:18:04 <max__> when i telnet to port 8333 in win it tells me something like "version"
 793 2011-04-25 05:18:11 <doublec> just by opening the regular client
 794 2011-04-25 05:18:22 <doublec> so you'll have to debug the issue of why it's not working for you yourself I'm afraid
 795 2011-04-25 05:18:44 <doublec> or, give me an account on your machine to ssh into and I'll take a look
 796 2011-04-25 05:19:06 <max__> do you ahve rpcusername and rpcpassword on bitcoind.conf?
 797 2011-04-25 05:19:06 <max__> im sorry i cant give access
 798 2011-04-25 05:20:14 <dotblank> why don't you netstat it?
 799 2011-04-25 05:20:29 <dotblank> you can use that or lsof
 800 2011-04-25 05:20:51 <max__> ok
 801 2011-04-25 05:21:02 <dotblank> you could then attach strace to the process running lsof and dump the output to get an idea of what really going on
 802 2011-04-25 05:22:20 <dotblank> oh wow.. looking at the scroolback it seems youve done that

 865 2011-04-25 08:09:32 <topi`> somebody's written a working paper called "Bitcoin - an innovative alternate digital currency"
 866 2011-04-25 08:09:48 <ArtForz> look at how the main client does it
 867 2011-04-25 08:10:00 <topi`> it's a very interesting read. the author is actually attempting to profile a few groups of users who find Bitcoin interesting
 868 2011-04-25 08:10:15 <topi`> like the ones who right now prefer gold as a medium of sacings
 869 2011-04-25 08:10:16 <topi`> savings
 870 2011-04-25 08:10:20 <ArtForz> basically just take the block hash at height n and hardcode a comparison to it
 871 2011-04-25 08:12:29 <sacarlson> ArtForz: I see the lines of how it does the check  but not sure where the numbers they compare with how they are calculated
 872 2011-04-25 08:12:44 <ArtForz> notice the numbers start with a bunch of zeros?
 873 2011-04-25 08:12:53 <sacarlson> ArtForz: yes
 874 2011-04-25 08:12:55 <ArtForz> it's sha256(sha256(block header))
 875 2011-04-25 08:13:08 <ArtForz> yep, the same thing thats compared against target
 876 2011-04-25 08:13:18 <ArtForz> aka the block header hash
 877 2011-04-25 08:13:43 <ArtForz> and height is ... well... height
 878 2011-04-25 08:14:29 <ArtForz> iirc genesis is height 0

 882 2011-04-25 08:16:31 <ArtForz> no
 883 2011-04-25 08:16:41 <ArtForz> err... yes

 885 2011-04-25 08:17:00 <ArtForz> wait
 886 2011-04-25 08:17:04 <sacarlson> ?
 887 2011-04-25 08:17:09 <ArtForz> thats already the block hash, isn't it ?
 888 2011-04-25 08:17:23 <sacarlson> ArtForz: I guess
 889 2011-04-25 08:17:25 <ArtForz> so just plug that in with a 0x in front
 890 2011-04-25 08:18:05 <ArtForz> so if (nHeight ==  14 && hash != uint256("0x00000001e61dc...")
 891 2011-04-25 08:18:37 <sacarlson> oh ya so just copy that number with the compare  if ((nHeight ==  14 && hash != uint256("0x0000000069e244f73d78e8fd29ba2fd2ed618bd6fa2ee92559f542fdb26e7c1d")  of that number found in that minned block

 906 2011-04-25 08:47:54 <topi`> in that case we need to decentralize the bitcoin webpage :)
 907 2011-04-25 08:48:04 <topi`> create plenty of competing clients, and offer all of them at random :)
 908 2011-04-25 08:52:10 <genjix> topi`: or maybe the main page should link to several clients (spesmilo, bitcoinj, ...)
 909 2011-04-25 08:54:21 <theorbtwo> roconnor: Really, the most reasonable "convincing coalition" would be the two biggest pool operators.
 910 2011-04-25 08:54:41 pirrr has joined
 911 2011-04-25 08:54:51 <topi`> so, we need more pools
 912 2011-04-25 08:55:06 <roconnor> theorbtwo: in this case I think you need to get the peers on board, not just the miners.
 913 2011-04-25 08:55:45 <topi`> the miners can spew whatever 100btc rewards for their blocks, but it won't work as long as the peers (non-miners) do not accept those blocks...
 914 2011-04-25 08:56:35 <theorbtwo> Ah, but the other miners who are in on it will accept those blocks, so they will become part of the longest chain.
 915 2011-04-25 08:56:56 <theorbtwo> Also, lowering the inflation seems to be easier then raising it, possibly.
 916 2011-04-25 08:59:23 <roconnor> theorbtwo: they will have the largest nonsenical chain, and no one will care about it
 917 2011-04-25 08:59:52 <roconnor> the rest of the network will accept the blocks generated by the other miners instead, even if the chain is shorter
 918 2011-04-25 09:00:18 <theorbtwo> Ah, I see what you mean.
 919 2011-04-25 09:00:37 <theorbtwo> Lowering inflation seems easier then raising it.
 920 2011-04-25 09:01:13 <theorbtwo> As controller of most of the mining power, do not build chains on top of blocks you don't like.
 921 2011-04-25 09:01:15 <roconnor> Yes.  I was told that current clients will accept blocks that produce too little bitcoins.
 922 2011-04-25 09:01:42 <theorbtwo> Oh.  That's even worse.
 923 2011-04-25 09:02:18 <roconnor> I don't think miners have much incentive to procude fewer bitcoins than they are allowed
 924 2011-04-25 09:03:18 <sacarlson> ArtForz: thanks that check seems to have worked on my first try thanks for your help
 925 2011-04-25 09:04:52 <roconnor> theorbtwo: still, lowering the bitcoin rate would be hard.  As soon as one person submits a coin at the old rate all the old clients will accept it, but the new ones won't.  The you will have a "net split"
 926 2011-04-25 09:06:03 <ArtForz> yep, miners can produce blocks with less generation than allowed
 927 2011-04-25 09:06:26 <ArtForz> CBlock::ConnectBlock
 928 2011-04-25 09:06:27 <ArtForz>     if (vtx[0].GetValueOut() > GetBlockValue(pindex->nHeight, nFees))
 929 2011-04-25 09:06:27 <ArtForz>         return false;
 930 2011-04-25 09:06:55 <ArtForz> notice that's a >, not a !=
 931 2011-04-25 09:07:52 <ArtForz> but why on earth would they do that?
 932 2011-04-25 09:08:37 <ArtForz> theres no economic incentive for a miner to "throw away" generation or fees
 933 2011-04-25 09:09:03 <genjix> that's like your grandma giving you free money and you throw it back in her face

 936 2011-04-25 09:11:12 <sacarlson> I guess what I see now is when I have setup fee's on the only minner on my net that my client only pays if he sends more than one transaction in on minned block time
 937 2011-04-25 09:11:37 <sacarlson> on = one
 938 2011-04-25 09:11:42 <sipa> roconnor: how many solutions exists at most when recovering pubkeys?
 939 2011-04-25 09:12:28 <genjix> c++0x is pretty sweet
 940 2011-04-25 09:12:34 <sacarlson> so I can send a free transaction every 10 minits?
 941 2011-04-25 09:12:35 <roconnor> sipa: I'm well convinced it can be upto 4 in rare cases (around 1 in 10^39).
 942 2011-04-25 09:12:37 <topi`> mtgox seems to be stabilizing a bit after the 2-day rally
 943 2011-04-25 09:12:47 <genjix> topi`: not at all
 944 2011-04-25 09:12:55 <roconnor> sipa: I have some examples where 4 public keys verify the same signature
 945 2011-04-25 09:13:02 <genjix> someone bought a ton hence the low volume now and massive spread
 946 2011-04-25 09:13:16 <roconnor> sipa: most of the time it is 2 or 0 keys.
 947 2011-04-25 09:14:09 <sacarlson> genjix: cool I sold at my 1.23usd per btc  and now have a buy back in at 0.98usd for 1 btc
 948 2011-04-25 09:15:02 <sipa> roconnor: imagine we'd add a key-recovery-identifier, a number between 0 and 3, that tells you which one it
 949 2011-04-25 09:15:18 <sipa> roconnor: would it be easy to calculate that number when generating the key?
 950 2011-04-25 09:15:30 patapper has left ()
 951 2011-04-25 09:17:38 <roconnor> sipa: I don't think so.  The number might change depending on the signature I think.
 952 2011-04-25 09:17:55 <sipa> oh right, and when signing?
 953 2011-04-25 09:18:27 <roconnor> sipa: after you sign a key you can run key recovery on it and see which key is yours
 954 2011-04-25 09:18:34 <sipa> of course
 955 2011-04-25 09:18:43 <sipa> but i want to know whether it is easier than that :)
 956 2011-04-25 09:19:03 <sipa> my idea is this: add an OP_GETPUBKEY script opcode that takes a 2-bit number as input, and puts on the stack the generated pubkey
 957 2011-04-25 09:19:20 <sipa> this key could then be hashes and verified against an address
 958 2011-04-25 09:19:24 <roconnor> sipa: Though I think I still perfer the idea of a super operation that checks all 4 keys to see which one matches the public Key hash.
 959 2011-04-25 09:19:24 <sipa> *hashed
 960 2011-04-25 09:19:42 <sipa> using the existing mechanism
 961 2011-04-25 09:19:46 <roconnor> oh
 962 2011-04-25 09:19:57 * roconnor reads sipa's idea
 963 2011-04-25 09:20:14 <sipa> an OP_CHECKALL that takes an address would be nice too, but is computationally harder and less flexible
 964 2011-04-25 09:21:26 <roconnor> sipa: so a sigScript would have the signature plus another byte (2-bits) pushed onto the stack?
 965 2011-04-25 09:21:49 <sipa> yes
 966 2011-04-25 09:21:52 <roconnor> sipa: then a new op to take that signature, and byte and transform it into a signature and pubkey

 971 2011-04-25 09:25:26 <roconnor> If you really want to squeeze it, there might be some room in the hashtype footer in the signature. ... not that I'd really recommend that route.

 975 2011-04-25 09:34:50 <roconnor> sipa: but as I think TD noted, if you are going to add new scripting operations, it might be better to go all the way and implement a completely new OP_CHECKSIG2 that works on more compressed representations of everything, or at least operations that transforms a more compressed representation of signatures into the current representation.
 976 2011-04-25 09:35:07 <roconnor> ie. it is better to add all the missing functionaly we want in one go rather than slowly over time.

 981 2011-04-25 09:48:13 <Greek_o_nikos> "who are the developers? it's an open source project so ANYONE can be "the developer"." << and if a developer signs their contribution with digital signature, then the "who" goes to their public key.
 982 2011-04-25 09:49:03 <TD> i don't think an alert was ever sent
 983 2011-04-25 09:49:26 <TD> i believe a "replay" is almost by definition possible as alerts are broadcast

 985 2011-04-25 09:49:53 <roconnor> the wiki doesn't give any indication that the alerts have a timestamp

 997 2011-04-25 09:56:29 <TD> i would suggest trying to condense the whole of the scriptPubKey down into one opcode to save a few more bytes
 998 2011-04-25 09:56:32 <roconnor> sipa: get rid of the DER cruft in signatures
 999 2011-04-25 09:56:52 <sipa> in a signature, the DER overhead is 1 byte only
1000 2011-04-25 09:57:02 <roconnor> sipa: the overhead in DER is 6-8 bytes
1001 2011-04-25 09:57:09 <sipa> oh sorry
1002 2011-04-25 09:57:15 <sipa> in pubkeys it's one byte

1006 2011-04-25 09:57:20 <sipa> in signatures it's more indeed
1007 2011-04-25 09:57:29 <roconnor> sipa: the pubkey stuff isn't DER
1008 2011-04-25 09:57:47 <roconnor> sipa: it is the standard encoding for public keys given by sec 1
1009 2011-04-25 09:57:56 <sipa> ah, that explains
1010 2011-04-25 09:58:06 <sipa> but indeed, i would get rid of the DER encoding

1012 2011-04-25 09:59:18 <roconnor> how were the tests on using compressed public keys on unpatched clienents?
1013 2011-04-25 09:59:52 <sipa> unsuccesfull so far, and i fear it may be hard
1014 2011-04-25 10:00:05 <roconnor> oh really :(
1015 2011-04-25 10:00:10 <roconnor> I was so optimistic
1016 2011-04-25 10:00:14 <sipa> since the signature uses a hash of the tx with the signature itself being erased
1017 2011-04-25 10:00:53 <sipa> this changes when we're using different pubkeys
1018 2011-04-25 10:01:02 <roconnor> I don't see why
1019 2011-04-25 10:01:25 <TD> oh, i see
1020 2011-04-25 10:01:31 <TD> it reserializes the signature into uncompressed form
1021 2011-04-25 10:01:32 <sipa> actually... i don't see it anymore
1022 2011-04-25 10:01:53 <sipa> since that pubkey is not part of the tx itself, it's part of the tx that will consume it
1023 2011-04-25 10:01:59 <roconnor> it is the public keys that are compressed/uncompressed  not the signatures
1024 2011-04-25 10:02:31 <sipa> maybe still worth a shot

1034 2011-04-25 10:07:54 <sipa> when consuming a generated coin, you must refer to it using hash=0 n=-1
1035 2011-04-25 10:08:05 <sipa> eh nvm
1036 2011-04-25 10:08:24 <TD> hmm?
1037 2011-04-25 10:08:41 <TD> i don't know. i don't recall seeing any special rules for consuming coinbase transactions
1038 2011-04-25 10:08:48 <sipa> i'm wrong
1039 2011-04-25 10:08:56 <TD> other than their invalid input and being in position zero, i think they are treated like normal txns
1040 2011-04-25 10:09:22 <roconnor> I guess my question is more like, what is the defintion of a coinbase? one in which the hash is 0, or one in which the hash is 0 and the index is -1?
1041 2011-04-25 10:09:57 <roconnor> or is the first item of a tx list the coinbase no matter what the hash is.
1042 2011-04-25 10:09:58 <sipa> a coinbase tx, is a transaction with 1 input, whose prevout is hash=0 and n=-1
1043 2011-04-25 10:10:17 <roconnor> sipa: see, I don't think that is what the client code does...
1044 2011-04-25 10:10:26 <sipa> see CTransaction::IsCoinBase() in main.h
1045 2011-04-25 10:10:41 <roconnor> I find C code difficult to read

1064 2011-04-25 10:11:47 <roconnor> sipa: must?
1065 2011-04-25 10:11:55 <jaromil> interesting for code overview
1066 2011-04-25 10:11:58 <sipa> otherwise COutPoint::IsNull() will fail, and CTransaction::IsCoinBase() as well
1067 2011-04-25 10:12:09 <BlueMatt> jaromil: shouldnt output be not in src but in some other dir after make?
1068 2011-04-25 10:12:10 <jaromil> BlueMatt: i shouldn't have mentioned distcheck , now i see there is a problem
1069 2011-04-25 10:12:18 <jaromil> BlueMatt: it can, but usually isn't
1070 2011-04-25 10:12:25 <jaromil> however all these things are configurable
1071 2011-04-25 10:12:32 <roconnor> sipa TD: I don't recall seeing such a -1 check in bitcoinJ

1075 2011-04-25 10:12:53 <BlueMatt> ie bin/ include/ etc
1076 2011-04-25 10:13:08 <BlueMatt> jaromil: also, have you tried it on win32?
1077 2011-04-25 10:13:38 <sipa> currently, a typical spend-to-address scriptPubKey is OP_DUP OP_HASH160 <address> OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG... using my proposal that would become OP_GENPUBKEY OP_HASH160 <address>> OP_EQUALVERIFY
1078 2011-04-25 10:13:45 <TD> roconnor: well, bitcoinj is incomplete. its isCoinBase check just verifies the input hash is null
1079 2011-04-25 10:13:48 <jaromil> phew found connector
1080 2011-04-25 10:13:58 <TD> i don't know if it matters about the index
1081 2011-04-25 10:14:01 <jaromil> BlueMatt: only with cygwin. needs testing on win32 definitely
1082 2011-04-25 10:14:13 <BlueMatt> ah
1083 2011-04-25 10:14:14 <jaromil> however the old build system is still in place
1084 2011-04-25 10:14:19 <BlueMatt> ok
1085 2011-04-25 10:14:23 <TD> sipa: but there will be several pubkeys right? why not just have a single opcode that does everything.   <sig> <address> OP_VERIFYSPEND
1086 2011-04-25 10:14:33 <jaromil> and it should work, at least autotools is usually very portable, that's why its used
1087 2011-04-25 10:14:34 <BlueMatt> well, Ill probably go test it on mingw sometime then
1088 2011-04-25 10:14:43 <sipa> TD: the sig is not part of the pubkey script
1089 2011-04-25 10:14:48 <BlueMatt> jaromil: also, could you look at xcompiling support
1090 2011-04-25 10:14:49 <jaromil> however knowing some other codebases and experiences i know cmake is better for win
1091 2011-04-25 10:14:51 <sipa> so just <address> OP_VERIFYSPEND
1092 2011-04-25 10:14:53 <jaromil> because m4 is sloooow
1093 2011-04-25 10:15:07 <roconnor> TD: I think that if someone makes a bitcoin with an non-negative1 index for the coinbase, bitcoinj will accept it but bitcoin will not.

1095 2011-04-25 10:15:20 <jaromil> BlueMatt: in autotools xcompiling is done with --host=

1097 2011-04-25 10:15:22 <BlueMatt> it compiles via mingw on linux, and Id like to be able to specify that for configure
1098 2011-04-25 10:15:27 <jaromil> oh wow
1099 2011-04-25 10:15:31 <jaromil> ok see --host=
1100 2011-04-25 10:15:32 <TD> bitcoinj implements SPV. that means it accepts blocks that verify as part of the block chain
1101 2011-04-25 10:15:34 <jaromil> maybe it works!
1102 2011-04-25 10:15:40 <TD> it doesn't check the contents of the blocks beyond a few simple sanity checks
1103 2011-04-25 10:15:45 <BlueMatt> jaromil: ok, thanks, Ill go do some testing and see what happens
1104 2011-04-25 10:15:47 <jaromil> i use autotools for xcompiling mipsel stuff usually
1105 2011-04-25 10:15:53 <TD> it can't verify the tx inputs anyway because it doesn't store all transactions in the block chain
1106 2011-04-25 10:15:54 <roconnor> TD: oh, what is SPV?
1107 2011-04-25 10:15:58 <jaromil> for that i do ./configure --host=mipsel-linux-gnu
1108 2011-04-25 10:15:59 <roconnor> something in the whitepaper?
1109 2011-04-25 10:16:03 <TD> see satoshis paper
1110 2011-04-25 10:16:06 * BlueMatt doesnt know much about autotools
1111 2011-04-25 10:16:11 <TD> simplified payment verification
1112 2011-04-25 10:16:15 <jaromil> and it just ends up using gcc-mipse-linux-gnu compilers in path
1113 2011-04-25 10:16:58 <roconnor> TD: if it doesn't verify transactions fully, then it can be spoofed?
1114 2011-04-25 10:17:28 <TD> as stated in the pape, it will believe anything for as long as an attacker dominates the network (controls >50% of hash power), in ways a full implemenation cannot be fooled
1115 2011-04-25 10:17:35 <TD> the benefit is much lower resource usage and simpler code

1122 2011-04-25 10:20:08 <TD> once the attacker stops hashing, the correct/valid chain will catch up and become the longest chain again
1123 2011-04-25 10:20:22 <TD> at that point SPV impls will switch to that chain and everything will sort itself out

1129 2011-04-25 10:22:58 <TD> currently to discover new transactions you have to download full blocks, if that's what you're asking
1130 2011-04-25 10:23:05 <roconnor> the SPV section says "... and obtain the Merkle branch linking the transaction to the block it's timestamped in."
1131 2011-04-25 10:23:46 <TD> yes, it anticipated protocol features that were never implemented
1132 2011-04-25 10:24:08 <TD> in the long term if bitcoin continues to scale up, a getmerklebranch command can be added
1133 2011-04-25 10:24:12 <roconnor> TD: this seems like it would make writing your SPV code more difficult :D
1134 2011-04-25 10:24:16 <TD> or rather, a getmatchingtxns
1135 2011-04-25 10:24:22 <TD> no, not really.
1136 2011-04-25 10:24:30 <TD> you don't need to link arbitrary transactions to a place in the chain
1137 2011-04-25 10:24:31 <roconnor> your adding new protocol commands?
1138 2011-04-25 10:24:33 <BlueMatt> anyone know what jgarzik's freenode.verf file is about?

1140 2011-04-25 10:24:48 <TD> not today. it's not necessary. you download the full block chain and just extract the transactions that interest you, then throw the rest away
1141 2011-04-25 10:24:54 <TD> it's not very efficient bandwidth wise but it works
1142 2011-04-25 10:25:03 <roconnor> oh
1143 2011-04-25 10:25:07 <TD> in the longer term, you'd send a remote full node a template to match against
1144 2011-04-25 10:25:14 <TD> it would then send you merkle branches for the matching transactions
1145 2011-04-25 10:25:20 agricocb has joined

1167 2011-04-25 10:40:52 <jaromil> hey ppl is anyone working to open a -dev mailinglist plz? web forums... meh.
1168 2011-04-25 10:44:22 <BlueMatt> jaromil: I think most people gave up on the idea
1169 2011-04-25 10:44:27 <BlueMatt> it just wasnt really worth doing

1173 2011-04-25 10:50:40 <roconnor> sipa: with regards to CPU usage, a superOp would be able to use keyrecovery in place of signature verification.
1174 2011-04-25 10:51:12 <roconnor> key Recovory is about the same cost as signature verification I think (per key tested)

1180 2011-04-25 10:52:58 <sipa> roconnor: actually, could you benchmark that? :)
1181 2011-04-25 10:53:16 <roconnor> No I'm not sure, and I cannot benchmark it
1182 2011-04-25 10:53:31 <roconnor> I'm just estimating based on the operations
1183 2011-04-25 10:54:05 <roconnor> actually I should take that back
1184 2011-04-25 10:54:33 <roconnor> key recovery has to both decompress a compressed public key and do something similar to a signature verification
1185 2011-04-25 10:55:19 <sipa> yes, idneed
1186 2011-04-25 10:55:21 <sipa> *indeed
1187 2011-04-25 10:55:29 <sipa> but i'd like to know how much that overhead is
1188 2011-04-25 10:55:38 <sipa> i'll try to implement it using openssl
1189 2011-04-25 10:56:02 <roconnor> ignoring the decompression part, both a signature verification and a key recoveory do two group exponentions, one group operation, and one inverse mod n operation.
1190 2011-04-25 10:56:54 <roconnor> oh wait I'm wrong
1191 2011-04-25 10:56:55 <roconnor> sorry
1192 2011-04-25 10:57:29 <roconnor> signature verification does two group exponetials, one group operation, one inverse mod n and two multiplications mod n
1193 2011-04-25 10:57:54 <roconnor> key recovery does *three* group exponentials, one group operations, one inverse mond n and 0 multiplications mod n.
1194 2011-04-25 10:58:10 <roconnor> so ya, I guess key recovery will be a little bit slower.
1195 2011-04-25 10:58:12 <roconnor> hmm

1231 2011-04-25 11:30:17 <sipa> roconnor: the hard part will be finding all the relevant functions in openssl, not the algorithmic part :D
1232 2011-04-25 11:30:51 <roconnor> presumablye OpenSSL doesn't have functions for key recovery
1233 2011-04-25 11:31:00 <roconnor> and you would need to patch OpenSSL
1234 2011-04-25 11:31:26 <sipa> no, just include the low-level headers to expose the internals of EC_KEY and EC_SIG
1235 2011-04-25 11:31:40 <sipa> and call the ec math functions yourself
1236 2011-04-25 11:31:44 <roconnor> :O
1237 2011-04-25 11:31:58 <roconnor> wouldn't patchin openssl be better for everyone?
1238 2011-04-25 11:32:03 <sipa> openssl is not really an api, just a bunch of functions
1239 2011-04-25 11:32:21 <sipa> yeah, maybe i can contribute it back to openssl if it works
1240 2011-04-25 11:32:57 <sipa> i already wrote a function to create an openssl key based on domain parameters + secret key parameter
1241 2011-04-25 11:33:10 <roconnor> domain parameters?
1242 2011-04-25 11:33:53 <sipa> the things defined by secp256k1
1243 2011-04-25 11:34:04 <roconnor> ok

1245 2011-04-25 11:35:43 <sacarlson> ok I read the wiki for scripts now I still need an example to make it clear to me how they are used on say the command line with bitcoind
1246 2011-04-25 11:36:02 <sipa> they aren't
1247 2011-04-25 11:36:12 <sipa> bitcoin only creates two types of scripts
1248 2011-04-25 11:36:21 <sipa> either send to address, or send to pubkey
1249 2011-04-25 11:36:32 <sipa> the first is used for normal transactions, the second for generations

1251 2011-04-25 11:37:49 <sacarlson> sipa: what is sent to the pubkey to do anything like a coin of some value to make changes in the script?
1252 2011-04-25 11:38:04 <sipa> ?
1253 2011-04-25 11:38:28 <sacarlson> sipa: I'm clueless on the steps on the command line to perform any script operation
1254 2011-04-25 11:38:44 <sipa> you can't
1255 2011-04-25 11:38:53 <sipa> it is not exposed to the user
1256 2011-04-25 11:38:59 <sipa> bitcoin just uses it internally
1257 2011-04-25 11:39:23 <lfm> sacarlson: you dont really use "scripts" at that level, the scripts are just internal. ie when you send
1258 2011-04-25 11:40:41 <sacarlson> lfm: ok give me any example of an existing or none exiting scripts operation in the case of a escrow what is needed to move the script to the next step?

1266 2011-04-25 11:43:00 <lfm> new command line operations that use new combinations of script operations
1267 2011-04-25 11:43:26 <sacarlson> sipa: yes I read the article but again I don't have a firm understanding of how the values get into the scripts to change there path
1268 2011-04-25 11:43:56 <lfm> the scripts are actually kinda hard coded in the software
1269 2011-04-25 11:44:19 <sipa> change their path?
1270 2011-04-25 11:44:37 <sipa> those scripts are just sequences of bytes embedded in transactions
1271 2011-04-25 11:45:14 <sacarlson> sipa:  then how are the if then statment used if the values don't change
1272 2011-04-25 11:45:38 <sipa> which values?
1273 2011-04-25 11:46:32 <topi`> ~.
1274 2011-04-25 11:46:34 <lfm> theyre hard coded in the routine that create the transactions then interpretted by the other nodes to do waht is wanted theoreticlly. in practise most of the script abilities are disabled in the current software
1275 2011-04-25 11:46:36 <sipa> a script is just a little program executed to verify whether someone is allowed to spend that output
1276 2011-04-25 11:46:38 <sacarlson> sipa:  I don't know the one that the creator of the script creates I think lfm is correct  we need to add some command line input extensions to enable them
1277 2011-04-25 11:46:49 <sipa> no we don't
1278 2011-04-25 11:47:04 <sacarlson> sipa: yes so what input do I use to say ok it's ok to spend it now?
1279 2011-04-25 11:47:15 <sipa> the transaction spending it is the input
1280 2011-04-25 11:47:25 <sipa> and its scriptSig
1281 2011-04-25 11:47:51 <sacarlson> sipa:  ok so on the sender side how do I change this scriptSig?
1282 2011-04-25 11:48:06 <sipa> your client creates it for you
1283 2011-04-25 11:48:12 <sipa> when signing a transaction
1284 2011-04-25 11:48:16 <sipa> to be able to spend
1285 2011-04-25 11:48:37 <lfm> sacarlson: franky Iv never really understood it. I dont see why you can just kae a script that says ok spend this other guy's money, no signature need for this script haha
1286 2011-04-25 11:49:22 <BlueMatt> hey, they finally replaced the bsod with a somewhat better-looking black sod

1290 2011-04-25 11:50:47 <lfm> yup
1291 2011-04-25 11:50:49 <sacarlson> well until I see one simple example of this scipting language used where the sender can later release the funds that the reciever knows he has locked in I'm stuck
1292 2011-04-25 11:51:12 <BlueMatt> sacarlson: its not implemented yet
1293 2011-04-25 11:51:30 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: yes that's what I had hoped to do
1294 2011-04-25 11:51:49 <BlueMatt> sacarlson: no, you need nLockTime
1295 2011-04-25 11:51:55 <BlueMatt> which iirc isnt implemented yet
1296 2011-04-25 11:51:58 <sacarlson> but I can see at this point it's presently beyond my present knowledge
1297 2011-04-25 11:52:15 <lfm> meanwhile you can still use regular escrow people
1298 2011-04-25 11:52:22 <sipa> sacarlson: ah now i understand your question
1299 2011-04-25 11:52:36 <sipa> sacarlson: you want a concrete example on how the script system can be used for an escrow?
1300 2011-04-25 11:53:01 <sacarlson> sipa: even if it didn't exist yet yes

1312 2011-04-25 11:59:50 <sipa> you'll need to modify createtransaction in that case
1313 2011-04-25 11:59:55 <sipa> to create another script
1314 2011-04-25 12:00:09 <sipa> with two addresses instead of one

1319 2011-04-25 12:02:35 <sipa> only currently there are only two types of scripts used

1357 2011-04-25 13:17:07 <noagendamarket> yes
1358 2011-04-25 13:17:27 <Diablo-D3> he needs to do something about that 100btc missing tx
1359 2011-04-25 13:18:08 <noagendamarket> ?
1360 2011-04-25 13:18:17 <noagendamarket> yours ?
1361 2011-04-25 13:18:18 <Diablo-D3> I sent 100btc to my mtgox account, it never showed up
1362 2011-04-25 13:18:26 <noagendamarket> hmm when was that ?

1368 2011-04-25 13:19:36 <Diablo-D3> MagicalTux: I wasnt aware I did.
1369 2011-04-25 13:19:56 <MagicalTux> Diablo-D3: blockexplorer seems to show something like it
1370 2011-04-25 13:19:57 <Diablo-D3> MagicalTux: I copypasted the address it gave me when I told it I wanted to send 100btc
1371 2011-04-25 13:20:04 <Diablo-D3> maybe the software hiccuped?
1372 2011-04-25 13:20:10 <MagicalTux> each address is supposed to be new
1373 2011-04-25 13:20:41 <Diablo-D3> MagicalTux: it seems to have given me the same address for an immediately previous thing, I assumed this was normal

1378 2011-04-25 13:21:06 <BlueMatt> cache issue?
1379 2011-04-25 13:21:24 <Diablo-D3> BlueMatt: I doubt it
1380 2011-04-25 13:21:35 <Diablo-D3> no proxies, and ff doesnt suffer some such issues

1383 2011-04-25 13:21:43 <doublec> that seems an easy mistake to make. It'd be nice if addresses can be reused
1384 2011-04-25 13:21:48 <Diablo-D3> mtgox might not be setting http no cache stuff right

1388 2011-04-25 13:22:11 <Diablo-D3> at least, it should keep generating new ones
1389 2011-04-25 13:22:28 <Diablo-D3> but it could do it every 24 hours, and remember the last one before the current one or something
1390 2011-04-25 13:23:20 <MagicalTux> Diablo-D3: I've started importing the blockchain into the database so I can easily detect new transactions without polling the bitcoin client once in a while
1391 2011-04-25 13:23:38 <MagicalTux> instead I have trigger for new blocks that will download the block (lastblock-6)
1392 2011-04-25 13:23:48 <Diablo-D3> ahh.
1393 2011-04-25 13:24:00 <Diablo-D3> MagicalTux: so my account has been credited?
1394 2011-04-25 13:24:12 <MagicalTux> yes

1400 2011-04-25 13:26:21 <Diablo-D3> I think xel's 1000 tx of 0.01 (10 btc total) are going to cause insane tx fees
1401 2011-04-25 13:26:26 <Diablo-D3> when I finally send them to someone else
1402 2011-04-25 13:26:45 <Diablo-D3> because I tried to send 380 (when I had 388) and it spit out a useless error

1411 2011-04-25 13:34:05 <Diablo-D3> so
1412 2011-04-25 13:34:06 <Diablo-D3> I think
1413 2011-04-25 13:34:26 <MagicalTux> doublec: that's what I'm doing
1414 2011-04-25 13:34:35 <Diablo-D3> Im going to require machine names but not passwords for miners on the old protocol
1415 2011-04-25 13:35:57 <MagicalTux> (well, trying to)
1416 2011-04-25 13:36:13 <MagicalTux> I think I'll also allow people to "monitor" bitcoin addresses and receive http push when a transaction comes in
1417 2011-04-25 13:36:18 <MagicalTux> (as a free service)
1418 2011-04-25 13:42:31 <topi`> grr, my Beagle Board cannot compile the bitcoin C++ client, because it runs out of RAM! hah. I guess I'll just do a -O0 instead of -O3
1419 2011-04-25 13:43:00 <luke-jr> topi`: -O3 is generally a bad idea anyway
1420 2011-04-25 13:43:08 <doublec> topi`: how much ram do you have?

1424 2011-04-25 13:45:08 <topi`> there is additional 256 MB of swap, but it got full.
1425 2011-04-25 13:45:21 <doublec> I suspect the json spirit parser consumes most of it
1426 2011-04-25 13:45:27 <topi`> anyway, g++ spends enormous amounts of RAM in the optimization phase of c++
1427 2011-04-25 13:45:28 <doublec> all those yummy templates for the compiler

1441 2011-04-25 13:51:40 <Diablo-D3> it should be renamed -0d
1442 2011-04-25 13:51:51 <Diablo-D3> go try -Os or -O1 instead

1478 2011-04-25 14:32:35 <BlueMatt> jaromil: might not be the best way to do that
1479 2011-04-25 14:33:14 <jaromil> BlueMatt: i see berkeley db itself as a problem, but then any solution is too specific to the time and platform
1480 2011-04-25 14:33:30 <BlueMatt> whats wrong with bdb?
1481 2011-04-25 14:33:31 <jaromil> of course autotools lets one customize flags and stuff if needed
1482 2011-04-25 14:33:34 <BlueMatt> what would you rather use?
1483 2011-04-25 14:33:38 <jaromil> sqlite
1484 2011-04-25 14:33:45 <BlueMatt> O:
1485 2011-04-25 14:33:49 <BlueMatt> yea...
1486 2011-04-25 14:34:05 <jaromil> its production grade stuff
1487 2011-04-25 14:34:05 <genjix> jaromil: i just send you the email
1488 2011-04-25 14:34:15 <BlueMatt> and bdb isnt?
1489 2011-04-25 14:34:21 <genjix> bbtw see line 498 in rpc.cpp
1490 2011-04-25 14:34:21 <jaromil> sry but i don't consider bdb production grade, but a student project good for learning
1491 2011-04-25 14:34:54 <genjix> problems with bdb = it corrupts if your program crashes
1492 2011-04-25 14:35:16 <BlueMatt> In any case, IMHO, bitcoin should always try to link to bdb 4.7 as it maintains support for moving wallet files and such
1493 2011-04-25 14:35:19 <Myckel> stuff from Oracle isn't production grade?
1494 2011-04-25 14:35:21 <BlueMatt> genjix: not normally
1495 2011-04-25 14:35:37 <jaromil> Myckel: who said that?
1496 2011-04-25 14:35:37 <genjix> you mean not in theory but only in practice
1497 2011-04-25 14:35:39 <BlueMatt> Myckel: no one uses the bdb after oracle bought sun
1498 2011-04-25 14:35:48 <jaromil> sqlite = file based , mysql = daemon based
1499 2011-04-25 14:35:56 <jaromil> again IMHO, i consider mysql production grade
1500 2011-04-25 14:36:02 <genjix> yep
1501 2011-04-25 14:36:04 <BlueMatt> jaromil: bdb is owned by oracle
1502 2011-04-25 14:36:11 <genjix> mysql is pretty standard in industry
1503 2011-04-25 14:36:12 <Myckel> never had issues with dbd... but it is different then sqlite
1504 2011-04-25 14:36:18 <jaromil> k gimme a break :) oracle owns mysql to
1505 2011-04-25 14:36:19 <genjix> and fast because of innodb
1506 2011-04-25 14:36:20 <jaromil> o
1507 2011-04-25 14:36:35 <genjix> bdb sucks
1508 2011-04-25 14:36:40 <BlueMatt> mysql is a very different class of db than bdb or sqlite
1509 2011-04-25 14:36:45 <BlueMatt> library vs daemon
1510 2011-04-25 14:36:49 <BlueMatt> very different use-case
1511 2011-04-25 14:37:24 <BlueMatt> anyway, I prefer bdb over sqlite
1512 2011-04-25 14:37:51 <BlueMatt> more stable in my experience

1532 2011-04-25 14:51:57 <erdbeer> what's wrong?
1533 2011-04-25 14:54:41 <BlueMatt> erdbeer: have you tried installing libpng from your package manager
1534 2011-04-25 14:55:04 <Myckel> erdbeer, the statically compiled client expects that you have libpng1.2, but most distro's have already upgraded to libpng1.4.
1535 2011-04-25 14:55:08 <BlueMatt> in other news, the single line, unused png line which creates a dep on libpng needs removed
1536 2011-04-25 14:55:10 <erdbeer> yes, i've got libpng 1.4.5 installed
1537 2011-04-25 14:55:34 <Myckel> libpng1.4 is not backwards compatible with libpng1.2
1538 2011-04-25 14:55:36 <BlueMatt> the distributed client is really only working on ubuntu
1539 2011-04-25 14:55:48 <BlueMatt> beyond that its not really supported
1540 2011-04-25 14:56:19 <erdbeer> it's working on debian sid, but that shouldn't be much different
1541 2011-04-25 14:56:25 <luke-jr> Myckel: I think it is at the source level

1544 2011-04-25 14:57:01 <luke-jr> eg, API compatible, just not ABI
1545 2011-04-25 14:57:05 <BlueMatt> with your own wx compilation
1546 2011-04-25 14:57:46 <erdbeer> don't want to bloat my system with gcc ;)
1547 2011-04-25 14:57:47 <Myckel> luke-jr, gentoo had problems when the libpng dev pushed 1.4 without warning... a lot of stuff broke.

1551 2011-04-25 14:58:33 <luke-jr> Myckel: only if you're using old portage
1552 2011-04-25 14:58:37 <BlueMatt> and then wx without png
1553 2011-04-25 14:58:56 <luke-jr> Myckel: Portage 2.2+ doesn't delete libraries until nothing links to them
1554 2011-04-25 14:59:31 <BlueMatt> kinda annoying that bitcoin requires png just for that line which doesnt do anything

1622 2011-04-25 15:29:11 <sacarlson> there is not this is
1623 2011-04-25 15:29:20 <jaromil> right, should update it no?
1624 2011-04-25 15:29:38 <sacarlson> jaromil: well can't with the wx libs yes
1625 2011-04-25 15:29:39 <sacarlson> yet
1626 2011-04-25 15:29:57 <jaromil> true, but still can build bitcoind
1627 2011-04-25 15:30:20 <sacarlson> jaromil: the older version still works in main net just not in testnet

1638 2011-04-25 15:34:48 <sacarlson> jaromil:  I guess it used the older wx lib package on that release
1639 2011-04-25 15:35:52 <jaromil> anyway i'm quite uninterested to the wx package myself
1640 2011-04-25 15:36:01 <sacarlson> I presently use the git release with the spesmilo graphic interface on ubuntu 10.04
1641 2011-04-25 15:36:08 <jaromil> its not a toolkit i like
1642 2011-04-25 15:36:20 <jaromil> spesmilo or the js one are good

1650 2011-04-25 15:39:23 <erdbeer> good job :) but i don't understand.. you like bitcoin because of the fork bomb?
1651 2011-04-25 15:39:31 <jaromil> nah :) just a joke
1652 2011-04-25 15:40:08 <jaromil> when i wrote that forkbomb i had in mind the unix systems used in banks, more than desktop computers
1653 2011-04-25 15:41:10 <erdbeer> lol that's why you wrote it in 13 bytes?
1654 2011-04-25 15:41:48 <sacarlson> 13 the unlucky number
1655 2011-04-25 15:42:50 <jaromil> just to tell'em to stop bragging about security, a t-shirt is enough... well its useful to understand that i used to work into one of those. and lotus notes makes one bored enough to become an artist in the spare time... :D

1740 2011-04-25 16:29:00 <Diablo-D3> no
1741 2011-04-25 16:29:20 <BlueMatt> TD: he said this in an email?
1742 2011-04-25 16:29:29 <netxshare> oh okay
1743 2011-04-25 16:29:32 <TD> yes
1744 2011-04-25 16:29:37 <BlueMatt> interesting
1745 2011-04-25 16:29:43 <TD> he said he's "moved on to other things" and that the project "is in good hands"
1746 2011-04-25 16:30:07 <luke-jr> TD: I disagree with the latter.
1747 2011-04-25 16:30:12 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: stfu
1748 2011-04-25 16:30:17 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: no u
1749 2011-04-25 16:30:21 <TD> i think he's still willing to answer questions as long as they don't imply any work for him. i asked if he'd be willing to review something i'd written and he ignored that part of my mail :-)
1750 2011-04-25 16:30:55 <BlueMatt> TD: ha, though I assume we'll see him again when he sells a couple hundred thousand
1751 2011-04-25 16:31:28 <BlueMatt> Though, one question, why is he still the only one who has the keys to alerts?
1752 2011-04-25 16:31:43 <WakiMiko> alerts?
1753 2011-04-25 16:31:55 <BlueMatt> WakiMiko: he can send out alerts to all clients on the network
1754 2011-04-25 16:31:58 <TD> i think gavin might have the keys too
1755 2011-04-25 16:32:04 <BlueMatt> TD: currently he doesnt
1756 2011-04-25 16:32:09 <BlueMatt> should though IMHO
1757 2011-04-25 16:32:18 <TD> then I'm sure the keys will be handed off in due course, if gavin asks for them
1758 2011-04-25 16:32:25 <TD> the alerts mechanism is kind of questionable anyway imo
1759 2011-04-25 16:32:30 <BlueMatt> I agree
1760 2011-04-25 16:32:47 <WakiMiko> couldnt gavin just change the code?
1761 2011-04-25 16:32:51 <roconnor> TD: when did satoshi quit?
1762 2011-04-25 16:32:53 <BlueMatt> WakiMiko: yes
1763 2011-04-25 16:33:15 <jaromil> tcatm: any more coding planned on bitcoin-js-remote?
1764 2011-04-25 16:33:18 <BlueMatt> though IMHO the alerts arent that necessary now as miners are so centralized
1765 2011-04-25 16:33:32 <luke-jr> TD: IMO, the alerts mechanism should allow any key to relay, just don't display unless trusted
1766 2011-04-25 16:33:38 <TD> WakiMiko: that too
1767 2011-04-25 16:33:45 <TD> WakiMiko: but that wouldn't help for older clients, which was the intention
1768 2011-04-25 16:34:16 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: and you prevent ddos by...?
1769 2011-04-25 16:34:33 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: it's no different from tx spam
1770 2011-04-25 16:34:46 Greek_o_nikos has joined
1771 2011-04-25 16:34:57 <TD> yeah
1772 2011-04-25 16:35:11 <BlueMatt> yes, but tx spam can be worked on as it is a chain/requires coins whereas alerts wont
1773 2011-04-25 16:35:18 <BlueMatt> (unless you want people to pay to alert)
1774 2011-04-25 16:35:41 <TD> a reasonable compromise would be to allow additional alert keys to be specified in the config file
1775 2011-04-25 16:35:57 <BlueMatt> well I dont think they are necessary anyway so...
1776 2011-04-25 16:35:58 <necrodearia> To create a fork of Bitcoin and a new blockchain, which parts of code need to be modified to establish a separate network/blockchain?
1777 2011-04-25 16:36:08 <TD> you need to change
1778 2011-04-25 16:36:09 <necrodearia> e.g. namecoin
1779 2011-04-25 16:36:16 <BlueMatt> necrodearia: yea pretty much
1780 2011-04-25 16:36:19 <TD> 1) the peer discovery (seed nodes/irc channel)
1781 2011-04-25 16:36:26 <TD> 2) address version number
1782 2011-04-25 16:36:29 <TD> 3) genesis block contents
1783 2011-04-25 16:36:33 <BlueMatt> theoretically it would work with just a different genisis block
1784 2011-04-25 16:36:41 <BlueMatt> but that would cause many problems for both networks
1785 2011-04-25 16:36:50 <TD> not sure what else
1786 2011-04-25 16:36:53 <necrodearia> TD thanks
1787 2011-04-25 16:37:15 <BlueMatt> port would also probably be smart
1788 2011-04-25 16:37:30 <BlueMatt> that way even if nodes join the wrong irc/etc they still pretty much wont get any connections
1789 2011-04-25 16:37:36 <TD> yeah

1795 2011-04-25 16:39:20 <TD> it has to work quite differently to satoshis code
1796 2011-04-25 16:39:22 <OneFixt> has anybody seen/talked to the owner of BCM2 lately?

1821 2011-04-25 16:55:13 <grbgout> well, why can't you point your miner to your testnet in a box?  Oh, cpu mining
1822 2011-04-25 16:55:39 <grbgout> what's the difficulty on testnet at the moment?
1823 2011-04-25 16:55:40 <TD> the gpu in my laptop would achieve 6 megahashes/sec

1834 2011-04-25 16:59:36 <luke-jr> necrodearia: it means you can easily halve things
1835 2011-04-25 16:59:42 <TD> unit tests are great but not a replacement for seeing things work as normal for yourself
1836 2011-04-25 16:59:50 <TD> after testnet checks out i'll try on the production network too
1837 2011-04-25 16:59:58 <TD> or i can just go straight to prod and skip testnet

1839 2011-04-25 17:00:42 <necrodearia> Yeah, I'm reading it.
1840 2011-04-25 17:00:45 <grbgout> TD: gotchya.  I would point a GPU at testnet for ya, but I'm too poor to turn them away from the pools T_T  I just checked my CPU hashrate against gribble, and it doesn't seem like it would help you at all: 2 hours.
1841 2011-04-25 17:00:56 <grbgout> TD: URL for your PingService?
1842 2011-04-25 17:00:57 <necrodearia> I'm curious to determine what kinds of disadvantages tonal has in which it is unaccepted

1848 2011-04-25 17:03:08 <grbgout> Ah, neat.  Your work being slashdotted introduced me to bitcoins (through the comments).
1849 2011-04-25 17:03:18 <grbgout> If only I had invested back then T_T

1861 2011-04-25 17:05:14 <TD> i think i might set up an internal testnet at google some time this summer.
1862 2011-04-25 17:05:25 <BlueMatt> why do we forward txes based on unconfirmed ones? shouldnt we just forward maybe just txes that require at max 1 unconfirmed tx?
1863 2011-04-25 17:05:30 <BlueMatt> It would cut way down on spam
1864 2011-04-25 17:05:39 echelon has joined
1865 2011-04-25 17:05:43 <grbgout> I haven't started using it yet, but I was quite giddy when gavin posted it in -dev.  I was hoping for something like it, and it appeared before I had to set myself to figuring it out on my own.  So thanks for that!
1866 2011-04-25 17:06:41 <grbgout> TD: what is it lacking to have not met your expectations?
1867 2011-04-25 17:06:43 <TD> BlueMatt: satoshis code is rather confusing on the topic of recursively unconfirmed transactions. parts of the code seem to support them and other parts try to block them
1868 2011-04-25 17:07:04 <BlueMatt> TD: so why dont we block them now since it would kill most of the current tx spam?
1869 2011-04-25 17:07:16 <TD> grbgout: well mostly just that mining is still way too hard even at diff=1. bitcoinj has a concept of a "unit test network" in which half of all block hashes are considered valid
1870 2011-04-25 17:07:21 <TD> so you can mint a new block instantly
1871 2011-04-25 17:07:39 <TD> BlueMatt: i don't know. recursively unconfirmed transactions seem useful though. we shouldn't rule them out.
1872 2011-04-25 17:07:52 <TD> generally when there's spam we should try to scale up rather than suppress potentially useful features, imho
1873 2011-04-25 17:07:54 <BlueMatt> TD: I dont really see much use case
1874 2011-04-25 17:08:08 <grbgout> TD: gotchya
1875 2011-04-25 17:08:14 <BlueMatt> obviously not block the first unconfirm-based tx
1876 2011-04-25 17:08:20 <BlueMatt> maybe not the second or third
1877 2011-04-25 17:08:27 <BlueMatt> but there is a point where I see no use and its just spam
1878 2011-04-25 17:08:42 <grbgout> blocks take time to be confirmed as well....
1879 2011-04-25 17:08:43 <TD> let's say we trust each other completely. i want to send you some coins and you know i won't play any funny games. but for whatever reason (eg input ages) i'd have to pay a fee
1880 2011-04-25 17:08:53 <TD> so i just email you a transaction directly to bypass the network and its relaying requirements
1881 2011-04-25 17:09:03 <TD> later on you want to spend it so you broadcast both my tx and your own

1912 2011-04-25 17:16:47 <TD> that's weird. i don't see any reason why it wouldn't have made it in quickly
1913 2011-04-25 17:16:57 <TD> perhaps your client thought it had broadcast the tx but it actually failed somehow
1914 2011-04-25 17:17:02 <sharperguy> Hey. I tried sending some coins from testnet to the main network. The results seems to be a bug. The address was re-interpreted and the coins were sent to a new address begging with 'm'. The transaction is then never confirmed. Shouldn't the client just reject the transaction?
1915 2011-04-25 17:17:06 <TD> and then whilst you were chatting it rebroadcast it, and it was included as normal
1916 2011-04-25 17:18:01 <lyspooner> well all's well that ends well for me.  thanks for looking into it TD

1921 2011-04-25 17:19:49 <topi`> jaromil: I really don't understand how the configure script works, except that it is a shell script...
1922 2011-04-25 17:20:08 <topi`> and the errors that configure gives, are not very instructive :(
1923 2011-04-25 17:21:10 <jaromil> topi`: can you be more specific?
1924 2011-04-25 17:21:21 <jaromil> are you trying the pull req 180?
1925 2011-04-25 17:22:17 <jaromil> and do you have experience of autotool builds on OSX? already two people reported me success for that so debugging it now is not my priority
1926 2011-04-25 17:22:42 <topi`> jaromil: no, i'm just trying out your autoconf mods
1927 2011-04-25 17:22:51 <topi`> i'm building it on debian-unstable on ARM
1928 2011-04-25 17:23:13 <topi`> I guess i'm missing some lib or something, but the configure doesn't tell me.
1929 2011-04-25 17:25:09 <jaromil> you trying git@github.com:jaromil/bitcoin.git
1930 2011-04-25 17:25:16 <jaromil> and then autotools3 branch?
1931 2011-04-25 17:27:24 <topi`> lemme see which branch
1932 2011-04-25 17:27:40 <topi`> i'm on branch master and there are no other branches
1933 2011-04-25 17:28:16 <topi`> last commit says: "    fix to find db_cxx.h on osx autotools
1934 2011-04-25 17:29:10 <topi`> and i don't understand what "pull req 180" means
1935 2011-04-25 17:32:04 <jaromil> oh no

1947 2011-04-25 17:36:29 <topi`> i think the problem I had with configure script was caused by the fact that $ax_lib was equal to ""

1949 2011-04-25 17:36:47 <BlueMatt> you can just post the patch file

1951 2011-04-25 17:37:45 <jaromil> topi now is gine

1956 2011-04-25 17:38:23 <jaromil> topi`: are you using emdebian?

1962 2011-04-25 17:41:40 <jaromil> i'm interested in xcompiling actually
1963 2011-04-25 17:41:56 <jaromil> there could be more flags there

1974 2011-04-25 17:45:24 <jaromil> ack. interesting

1985 2011-04-25 17:47:33 <Compgenius> oh great
1986 2011-04-25 17:47:38 <Compgenius> bitcoin darts is broken
1987 2011-04-25 17:47:44 <Compgenius> i've had 2 payments fail so far to it >_>
1988 2011-04-25 17:48:06 <H4U> does bitcoind on linux just have 100 addresses? what happens when I try and create 101?
1989 2011-04-25 17:48:15 <topi`> BlueMatt: I can compile the regular version, but there's nothing to fix there, is there? :)
1990 2011-04-25 17:48:16 <Compgenius> e.g. i send them, and even after they get confirmed, it doesn't go to the thrown dart page, it still waits for the payment
1991 2011-04-25 17:49:27 <BlueMatt> topi`: ok :)
1992 2011-04-25 17:49:53 <topi`> jaromil: I found the cause of the trouble. I did not have the libboost-system installed, but it still said this:
1993 2011-04-25 17:49:56 <topi`> checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
1994 2011-04-25 17:50:09 <topi`> that's why I got confused. the configure erroneously thought that Boost::System was available.
1995 2011-04-25 17:50:22 <topi`> and then there was a message about failed version check. heh.
1996 2011-04-25 17:52:07 <jaromil> topi`: i'm checking latest version here http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_boost_system.html#ax_boost_system
1997 2011-04-25 17:52:14 <topi`> BlueMatt: I have to add that I know even less about C++ than I know about autotools...
1998 2011-04-25 17:52:25 <BlueMatt> topi`: same here
1999 2011-04-25 17:52:39 * BlueMatt knew nothing about c++ or autotools before bitcoin :)
2000 2011-04-25 17:52:42 <jaromil> no difference
2001 2011-04-25 17:52:54 <topi`> jaromil: ok

2011 2011-04-25 17:55:47 <jaromil> ok standby within half hour i can bake a commit to fix this
2012 2011-04-25 17:55:50 <BlueMatt> just use i586-mingw32msvc-g++
2013 2011-04-25 17:56:04 <BlueMatt> oh, wait no the include libs names need changed
2014 2011-04-25 17:57:06 <necrodearia> Does anyone have any thoughts on a variation of bitcoin where there is no 21,000,000 limit and instead unlimited amount of units could exist?
2015 2011-04-25 17:57:25 <BlueMatt> jaromil: you can see the libs here: https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/bitcoin/commit/91054a7fc6185adee9f2da6731d5c0898943c477#diff-1
2016 2011-04-25 17:58:10 <necrodearia> Someone suggested a unit size of "3,317,760,000" instead of the "100,000,000" units that Bitcoin uses if there were no limit

2035 2011-04-25 18:16:44 <topi`> necrodearia: you don't want unlimited coin issue. the inflation needs to be controlled.
2036 2011-04-25 18:17:30 <necrodearia> topi`, Well, consider for example carrots, there is no limit to how many carrots can exist at any one time or at any future time.  Is there a kind of inflation or deflation existent with carrots?
2037 2011-04-25 18:17:33 <luke-jr> topi`: I don't think he means uncontrolled
2038 2011-04-25 18:17:34 <topi`> necrodearia: you can create your own network and name it "bitinfla" if you don't like the way bitcoin resembles gold.
2039 2011-04-25 18:17:36 <luke-jr> topi`: just unbounded
2040 2011-04-25 18:18:00 <luke-jr> topi`: a constant rate of inflation for eternity is still controlled
2041 2011-04-25 18:18:03 toffoo has joined
2042 2011-04-25 18:18:13 <topi`> true that, but I think satoshi wanted to model gold.
2043 2011-04-25 18:18:23 <topi`> and the goldbugs would argue that that's the only way to do savings
2044 2011-04-25 18:18:35 <necrodearia> topi`, I'm not referring specifically to "bitcoin" but merely the idea with not having 21,000,000 limit...
2045 2011-04-25 18:18:40 <luke-jr> topi`: may the best system win ;)
2046 2011-04-25 18:19:11 <BlueMatt> jaromil: "checking for which platform we are compiling... mingw32msvc?!"
2047 2011-04-25 18:19:13 <BlueMatt> still
2048 2011-04-25 18:19:14 <necrodearia> I'd like to develop a better understanding if it is feasible or not
2049 2011-04-25 18:19:27 <necrodearia> or if limit of x is only option and nothing else will work
2050 2011-04-25 18:19:33 <BlueMatt> jaromil: oh, sorry, wait
2051 2011-04-25 18:19:48 <necrodearia> e.g. everything else will fail
2052 2011-04-25 18:19:51 <necrodearia> like the us dollar
2053 2011-04-25 18:20:01 <necrodearia> which can be created out of thin air at any time
2054 2011-04-25 18:20:24 <necrodearia> but with bitcoin, (or whatevercoin), then there is at least known controlled rate of creation (e.g. every 10 minutes)
2055 2011-04-25 18:21:43 <necrodearia> So, with a known rate of creation, would it be feasible for currency x to exist which resembles bitcoin but has no cap of y (e.g. 21,000,000)?
2056 2011-04-25 18:21:57 <midnightmagic> it could be created out of thin air; but, like the users of ฿ trust that the miners and people writing the software won't do something against their interests, we kind of trust that the government won't just let the economy tank
2057 2011-04-25 18:22:39 <midnightmagic> necrodearia: make it and see who joins. :-)

2084 2011-04-25 18:30:06 <dotblank> Is there a paper or spec for the bitcoin protocol?
2085 2011-04-25 18:30:17 <dotblank> or do I have to scour though the official client code
2086 2011-04-25 18:30:37 <jaromil> dotblank: see wiki on http://bitcoin.it

2091 2011-04-25 18:31:19 <BlueMatt> jaromil: well its having problems first, it doesnt appear to be running with the right CFLAGS, Im looking into that one, but also, I need to be able to specify the location of the bdb + openssl+ miniupnpc libs (there doesnt appear to be problems)

2095 2011-04-25 18:35:54 <jaromil> to see the cflags
2096 2011-04-25 18:35:55 <jaromil> use
2097 2011-04-25 18:35:56 <jaromil> make V=1
2098 2011-04-25 18:36:15 <BlueMatt> jaromil: no I mean by default the flags it uses are far off what they should be
2099 2011-04-25 18:36:21 <BlueMatt> not sure what the exact difference is yet
2100 2011-04-25 18:36:27 <jaromil> right now --host=*mingw* makes
2101 2011-04-25 18:36:27 <jaromil>     HOST_CXXFLAGS="-DWIN32 -D__WXMSW__ -D_WINDOWS -DNOPCH"
2102 2011-04-25 18:36:29 <BlueMatt> but errors out the wox
2103 2011-04-25 18:36:32 <BlueMatt> woz*
2104 2011-04-25 18:36:40 <jaromil> see how it goes
2105 2011-04-25 18:37:01 <jaromil> it's always a matter to smack it up in place
2106 2011-04-25 18:37:10 <jaromil> but if you have the compiled mingw libs is a good start already
2107 2011-04-25 18:37:17 <jaromil> i mean the dependencies
2108 2011-04-25 18:37:31 <BlueMatt> Ive got all the deps and such compiled
2109 2011-04-25 18:37:38 <jlewis> has anyone written a glsl shader that computes sha256 hashes?
2110 2011-04-25 18:37:49 <BlueMatt> jaromil: not really sure what you are talking about
2111 2011-04-25 18:38:04 <BlueMatt> jlewis: why would someone do that? we already have great opencl miners
2112 2011-04-25 18:39:00 <jlewis> it's harder to get opencl running on any given machine than opengl
2113 2011-04-25 18:39:34 <jlewis> it would be neat to see a glsl shader too, just for proof of concept's sake
2114 2011-04-25 18:39:36 <BlueMatt> not really
2115 2011-04-25 18:39:47 <BlueMatt> but ask ArtForzZz

2118 2011-04-25 18:39:57 <jlewis> opencl requires fancy drivers for the most part, doesn't it?
2119 2011-04-25 18:40:01 <BlueMatt> (well when he wakes up)
2120 2011-04-25 18:40:08 <BlueMatt> jlewis: and opengl does too
2121 2011-04-25 18:40:18 <jlewis> but they're more commonplace
2122 2011-04-25 18:40:18 <BlueMatt> the oss ogl drivers suck
2123 2011-04-25 18:40:20 <BlueMatt> really hard
2124 2011-04-25 18:40:39 <jlewis> additionally how sweet would a webgl mining client be
2125 2011-04-25 18:40:44 <jlewis> highly sweet
2126 2011-04-25 18:40:53 <BlueMatt> jlewis: no if you use nvidia/amd's regular drivers, they almost 100% come with opencl stuff
2127 2011-04-25 18:41:00 <jlewis> fair
2128 2011-04-25 18:41:08 <BlueMatt> jlewis: there will eventually be a webcl (its in the works)
2129 2011-04-25 18:41:24 <jlewis> indeed, but until then
2130 2011-04-25 18:42:32 <jlewis> in any case i've been toying around with writing the hashing algorithm in glsl, just wanted to see if there'd been some work done already on it

2143 2011-04-25 18:51:30 <BlueMatt> jaromil: ok, what needs removed to compile (it seems) is -I/usr/include (that is in no way where my win32 *.h are)
2144 2011-04-25 18:51:35 <topi`> jaromil: have you seen this?

2146 2011-04-25 18:51:35 <jaromil> ack
2147 2011-04-25 18:51:36 <dotblank> perhaps its not documentet
2148 2011-04-25 18:51:39 <BlueMatt> jaromil: also, -w would be nice as there is just too much crap

2150 2011-04-25 18:51:56 <jaromil> -w stands for no warnings?
2151 2011-04-25 18:51:57 <topi`> also missing a lib, I think, but this time the checks in autoconf did not notice this.
2152 2011-04-25 18:52:00 <BlueMatt> jaromil: yes
2153 2011-04-25 18:52:04 <jaromil> BlueMatt: the crap goes away with 'make' alone
2154 2011-04-25 18:52:08 <jaromil> you are using make V=1
2155 2011-04-25 18:52:26 <dotblank> ah it uses crypto++
2156 2011-04-25 18:52:32 <BlueMatt> jaromil: oh, ok well Ive been running the commands manually so that I can test
2157 2011-04-25 18:52:42 <BlueMatt> jaromil: lastly, I need to be able to specify a ton of -I"..." for boost, wx, openssl, etc
2158 2011-04-25 18:52:45 <dotblank> twas what I thought
2159 2011-04-25 18:52:54 <BlueMatt> other than that it looks like this should work
2160 2011-04-25 18:53:17 <TD> dotblank: for ecdsa it uses openssl
2161 2011-04-25 18:53:21 <dotblank> BlueMatt, we need the automake/tools solution

2199 2011-04-25 19:00:16 <luke-jr> the latter bit I mean
2200 2011-04-25 19:00:43 <genjix> maybe, but i'd be worried about my kid resenting me when i grew up for forcing m beliefs on them
2201 2011-04-25 19:01:00 <genjix> expose them to alternative ideas is fine.
2202 2011-04-25 19:01:09 <luke-jr> English is no less a "belief" than Esperanto

2204 2011-04-25 19:01:41 <luke-jr> and if they resent being taught according to your beliefs, you're doing something wrong

2269 2011-04-25 19:32:57 <genjix> luke-jr: but my maths is pretty strong :p
2270 2011-04-25 19:32:59 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: you can use each hand as a single tonal digit
2271 2011-04-25 19:33:11 <luke-jr> 4 bits each
2272 2011-04-25 19:33:25 <BurtyB> lmao
2273 2011-04-25 19:33:27 <BlueMatt> I cant do any kind of mental math, though my actual math is fairly strong
2274 2011-04-25 19:33:35 <BlueMatt> well for a high schooler...
2275 2011-04-25 19:33:47 <BlueMatt> though I did take ap calc in sophomore year
2276 2011-04-25 19:34:04 <luke-jr> I draw a 4x4 square for her to count tons in
2277 2011-04-25 19:34:16 <BlueMatt> that just sounds way too complicated
2278 2011-04-25 19:34:21 <docl> it bugs me that hex and tonal even use 8 and 9...
2279 2011-04-25 19:34:25 <BlueMatt> just tell her each finger == 1 and count in decimal
2280 2011-04-25 19:34:31 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: it's been too long since you learned addition
2281 2011-04-25 19:34:45 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: I never learned addition actually
2282 2011-04-25 19:34:48 <luke-jr> XD
2283 2011-04-25 19:34:51 <docl> they are double-octal systems, they should only be using 0-7
2284 2011-04-25 19:35:03 <mtrlt> i like binary. middle finger or no middle finger
2285 2011-04-25 19:35:20 <BlueMatt> I prefer base 126 just because its a pita
2286 2011-04-25 19:35:26 <luke-jr> docl: I'd personally prefer 0x10 entirely new digits
2287 2011-04-25 19:35:37 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: could be worse. you could pick a prime.
2288 2011-04-25 19:35:52 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: and omit the 0
2289 2011-04-25 19:35:54 <chmod755> BlueMatt: base 126? :D
2290 2011-04-25 19:36:04 <BlueMatt> fair enough, make that 701
2291 2011-04-25 19:36:12 <BlueMatt> I count in base-701
2292 2011-04-25 19:36:20 <luke-jr> actually, base 126 could have some practical value, if it weren't so freaking huge
2293 2011-04-25 19:36:36 <luke-jr> it can be factored to 7*3*3*2
2294 2011-04-25 19:36:36 <mtrlt> base-googolplex
2295 2011-04-25 19:36:43 <BlueMatt> 128 could probably be better
2296 2011-04-25 19:36:44 <chmod755> lol
2297 2011-04-25 19:36:54 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: 128 would be akin to tonal, but still too huge :P
2298 2011-04-25 19:36:58 <BlueMatt> mtrlt: that might be a pita, plus how many fucking chars do you have?

2306 2011-04-25 19:37:57 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: IIRC most people dont count in base 60
2307 2011-04-25 19:38:00 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: everyone I know who doesn't use tonal or dozenal, uses base 60 for their clocks
2308 2011-04-25 19:38:17 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: how many people do you know who use non-decimak?
2309 2011-04-25 19:38:17 <mtrlt> except for hours which go to 24 :(
2310 2011-04-25 19:38:24 <BlueMatt> I thought you were the only one
2311 2011-04-25 19:38:27 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: too many to try counting
2312 2011-04-25 19:38:47 <BlueMatt> literally, I thought you were the only one in the world still using tonal
2313 2011-04-25 19:38:50 <docl> my system would be superimposed variants of | / \ -

2320 2011-04-25 19:39:46 <luke-jr> it factors to 3*2*2
2321 2011-04-25 19:39:51 <BlueMatt> so?
2322 2011-04-25 19:40:02 <luke-jr> after half, a third is the most common fraction for humans
2323 2011-04-25 19:40:20 <luke-jr> Dozenal can write a third without repetition
2324 2011-04-25 19:40:33 <BlueMatt> ah, still a waste of time, I just use fractions
2325 2011-04-25 19:40:35 <luke-jr> 0;4 Dozenal is 1/3
2326 2011-04-25 19:40:38 <mtrlt> but hexadecimal cannot :(
2327 2011-04-25 19:40:52 <luke-jr> mtrlt: hexadecimal/tonal cannot, but it has superior precision than decimal ;)
2328 2011-04-25 19:41:03 <mtrlt> precision?
2329 2011-04-25 19:41:12 <mtrlt> i'm not sure i understand :P
2330 2011-04-25 19:41:22 <luke-jr> mtrlt: one digit of 1/3 in hexadecimal/tonal, is closer to a real 1/3
2331 2011-04-25 19:41:25 <docl> more useful for accessing memory addresses
2332 2011-04-25 19:41:28 <topi`> decimal is slightly cumbersome, but that has to do with the fact that humans have 10 fingers...
2333 2011-04-25 19:41:30 <chmod755> BUY TONAL CARROTS
2334 2011-04-25 19:41:36 <luke-jr> that is, 0.5 hex/tonal is closer to 1/3 than 0.3 is
2335 2011-04-25 19:41:39 <BlueMatt> NEED MORE CARROTS
2336 2011-04-25 19:41:46 <mtrlt> luke-jr: of course
2337 2011-04-25 19:41:57 <mtrlt> and in base-256 it'd be even closer :P
2338 2011-04-25 19:42:01 <luke-jr> :P
2339 2011-04-25 19:42:03 <topi`> but i can read hexadecimal fluently ;) that has to do with my youth with the C64 assembler language.
2340 2011-04-25 19:42:10 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: by that logic, people should use base-googleplex
2341 2011-04-25 19:42:25 <mtrlt> yea, what BlueMatt said
2342 2011-04-25 19:42:35 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: if you ignore all the costs of base googleplex

2347 2011-04-25 19:42:59 <BlueMatt> not as much cost - more precision
2348 2011-04-25 19:43:03 <luke-jr> dozenal and tonal both have benefit:cost ratios that outweigh decimal

2354 2011-04-25 19:43:25 <docl> actually I kind of think octal would be more natural. less numerals to learn, and the human brain only holds 8 things at a time anyway.

2374 2011-04-25 19:46:01 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: yea...no.  Decimal is used and supported.  There is no real advantage to changing that outweighs the huge cost of changing
2375 2011-04-25 19:46:09 <BlueMatt> plus I can add on my fingers ;)

2414 2011-04-25 19:49:40 <luke-jr> we can use ≡

2565 2011-04-25 20:50:05 <jaromil> only a matter of -I ? (means mostly CXX flags then
2566 2011-04-25 20:50:11 <jaromil> ehh. i guess also -L then
2567 2011-04-25 20:50:18 <jaromil> and give the right libraries
2568 2011-04-25 20:50:57 <jaromil> now i'm not sure how your build system is designed, if there is a way to have .pc files like those in /usr/lib/pkg-config that tell configure where to find the mingw cross libs

2630 2011-04-25 21:09:14 <BlueMatt> carrotfag, great term
2631 2011-04-25 21:09:53 <midnightmagic> soon i'll hook the vortexes' (one is an exhaust) fan controllers up to an arduino and plug that into the machines, insert some air pressure differential transducers to detect whether air is even flowing (in case some douchebag plugs my vents) and have an auto-shutdown..
2632 2011-04-25 21:10:36 <midnightmagic> rly: it doesn't help. but a pool will solve blocks very rapidly: and if you have a share in a pool, you get a tiny piece of the block every time it solves.
2633 2011-04-25 21:11:00 <midnightmagic> rly: so CPU miners can get tiny amounts of ฿ where they otherwise wouldn't see anything for a year.
2634 2011-04-25 21:11:38 <rly> midnightmagic: clearly the clients perform some kind of useful work.
2635 2011-04-25 21:11:59 <rly> midnightmagic: I am not discussing whether or not it is a smart move to make as a client.
2636 2011-04-25 21:12:00 <midnightmagic> rly: what i mean is, it doesn't technically help much to mine in a pool rather than solo mining.
2637 2011-04-25 21:12:08 <rly> midnightmagic: yes, I understood that.
2638 2011-04-25 21:12:25 <rly> midnightmagic: I am asking which problem clients are solving in a pool.
2639 2011-04-25 21:12:42 <rly> midnightmagic: example: why can't I just leave the pool when I find the solution?
2640 2011-04-25 21:12:43 <jaromil> Python will be used instead of C++ looool
2641 2011-04-25 21:12:48 <midnightmagic> rly: the useful work is, the clients are solving blocks with a lower difficulty (so the pools can detect whether a client is doing any work at all) and eventually one of those solutions also happens to be a real solution to the real network block problem and the block is solved.
2642 2011-04-25 21:13:20 <rly> midnightmagic: or can't I detect whether a solution has been found?
2643 2011-04-25 21:13:27 <midnightmagic> rly: because you are solving the pool's problem, not a real one, and it's obfuscated in such a way that you couldn't steal it on your own.
2644 2011-04-25 21:13:27 <rly> midnightmagic: I really do not understand the model.
2645 2011-04-25 21:13:40 <rly> midnightmagic: right, I heard about that.
2646 2011-04-25 21:13:47 <rly> midnightmagic: that is exactly the part I do not understand.
2647 2011-04-25 21:13:51 <midnightmagic> yeah, you can detect whether a solution has been found: but it's the pool's solution, not yours.
2648 2011-04-25 21:13:59 <jaromil> like "yea lets rewrite netsukuku in python" sounds familiar lol

2652 2011-04-25 21:15:06 <topi`> jaromil: but hey, python works :)
2653 2011-04-25 21:15:32 <topi`> although the status of stackless python right now is a bit dubious. if PyPy were in full swing, then it would be the thing.
2654 2011-04-25 21:15:34 <midnightmagic> mining blocks takes a series of hashes to mix in things like the top of a transaction tree's merkle tree, a nonce, and a few other bits and pieces. when you monkey around with the nonce to search for a solution, you're searching for a solution specific to all that.
2655 2011-04-25 21:15:57 <jaromil> topi`: if my grandpa had three balls he'd been a flipper
2656 2011-04-25 21:16:55 <rly> midnightmagic: we search for something like sha256(sha256(x+ <unknown y>)) == 00000000????
2657 2011-04-25 21:16:56 <midnightmagic> with the pool, the pool changes the difficulty and gives you an easier solution to solve. based on this wimpier solution, you find it much more often, and can therefore give feedback to the pool to prove you are in fact doing work. but it's their transaction tree, their infrmation. you can't do simultaneous work for your own solution (that mixes in your own keys, for example) and the pool's. you have to choose one or the other.
2658 2011-04-25 21:17:07 <jaromil> if you write a core engine, you write it in C or C++ and THEN expose bindings to other languages
2659 2011-04-25 21:17:14 <jaromil> the rest is carrotfaggin'
2660 2011-04-25 21:17:41 johnlockwood has joined
2661 2011-04-25 21:17:52 <midnightmagic> rly: in the network as a whole, we search for sha256(blah) <= target, where target is some number that gets smaller depending on how much the network scales up.
2662 2011-04-25 21:18:00 <rly> midnightmagic: ah, that makes sense.
2663 2011-04-25 21:18:47 <rly> midnightmagic: so, basically we are searching for an autograph of the poolminer's instance of Bitcoin saying "I found this block".
2664 2011-04-25 21:18:55 <midnightmagic> sort of.
2665 2011-04-25 21:19:22 <rly> midnightmagic: can a client decide whether a solution has been found?
2666 2011-04-25 21:19:25 <midnightmagic> and if you were to try to hijack that to pay for yourself, you'd have to look for a whole other solution.
2667 2011-04-25 21:19:43 <rly> midnightmagic: if it can, it could simply not send those to the pooloperator.
2668 2011-04-25 21:19:49 <midnightmagic> yeah, sure, you can stop yourself from presenting a block which is an actual solution. but then you're wasting your resources.
2669 2011-04-25 21:20:08 <rly> midnightmagic: then the pooloperator would be paying for shares, but he would never find a block.
2670 2011-04-25 21:20:17 <midnightmagic> but if you want to, you can sabotage it by witholding solutions.
2671 2011-04-25 21:20:28 <midnightmagic> only if the poolmaster pays for shares without finding a block.
2672 2011-04-25 21:20:51 <rly> midnightmagic: I had the impression that e.g. deepbit does that.
2673 2011-04-25 21:21:17 <midnightmagic> and of course, for his trouble, the poolmaster takes a percentage. technically he could take more than his fair share. but that's the chance you take if you are impatient and want instant results.
2674 2011-04-25 21:21:38 <midnightmagic> some pool closed recently because someone was sabotaging it. i don't recall the details nor did i seek confirmation
2675 2011-04-25 21:21:59 <midnightmagic> mmm..  lunch..
2676 2011-04-25 21:22:20 <rly> So, basically the poolmaster needs to worry about deciding whether people abuse the service by withholding solutions?
2677 2011-04-25 21:22:32 <midnightmagic> only if they pay without finding blocks.
2678 2011-04-25 21:22:42 <midnightmagic> if they pay only when the block is found, it kind of doesn't matter.

2682 2011-04-25 21:23:32 <midnightmagic> there are a pile of deeper details i'm glossing over (and couldn't off the top of my head explain anyway) but that's the gist i think.

2786 2011-04-25 22:16:49 <djoot> necrodearia: a block created after 10 seconds is likely to have no transactions, so yes, significantly smaller
2787 2011-04-25 22:18:33 <necrodearia> djoot, Well, say for example there were 600 transactions in 10 minutes and in those 10 minutes, 10 transactions every 10 seconds.  Would the data in the blockchain with 10 minute intervals be significantly smaller than the blockchain with 10 seconds intervals, or would the different in file size be negligable?
2788 2011-04-25 22:18:36 <djoot> hmm,, thats not quite what you asked tho
2789 2011-04-25 22:18:48 <ArtForz> each block header is 80 bytes
2790 2011-04-25 22:18:52 <necrodearia> mm
2791 2011-04-25 22:19:03 <ArtForz> same transaction volume = same transaction size
2792 2011-04-25 22:19:23 <ArtForz> so with faster blocks you'd have less tx/block, but more blocks = it evens out
2793 2011-04-25 22:19:41 <ArtForz> so it's simply overhead = 80B * num_blocks
2794 2011-04-25 22:20:36 <ArtForz> with 10 min blocks, thats ~11.5kB/day, with 10 sec blocks, it'd be ... about 60 times that
2795 2011-04-25 22:20:45 <ArtForz> data size really isn't the problem, network latency is
2796 2011-04-25 22:21:38 <Diablo-D3> 10 second blocks also make it easy to fork significantly from the chain
2797 2011-04-25 22:21:43 <ArtForz> yeah
2798 2011-04-25 22:21:46 <ArtForz> reduce block interval by an order of magnitude and you'll see # of chain forks skyrocket
2799 2011-04-25 22:22:15 <ArtForz> well, to provide the same level of security you'd just increase # of confirms before a tx is considered valid
2800 2011-04-25 22:22:44 <Diablo-D3> yeah but the relationship for that is nonlinear
2801 2011-04-25 22:22:52 <ArtForz> yep
2802 2011-04-25 22:22:56 <Diablo-D3> 3 at 10 minutes isnt the same as 6 at 5
2803 2011-04-25 22:23:15 <ArtForz> well, for proof-of-work purposes, it mostly is
2804 2011-04-25 22:23:33 <ArtForz> represents about the same amount of total work
2805 2011-04-25 22:23:58 <djoot> yeah, like in how many ghashes do i have to crunch to spoof this chain,, or something like that :)
2806 2011-04-25 22:23:59 <ArtForz> overall you'll get a weaker network though, as more hashpower is wasted on natural forks
2807 2011-04-25 22:24:13 <necrodearia> So, perhaps 10 minute interval was used to allow for enough time for the data to traverse to majority of nodes before another block was generated.
2808 2011-04-25 22:24:18 <ArtForz> yep
2809 2011-04-25 22:24:22 <djoot> aah, of course
2810 2011-04-25 22:25:03 <ArtForz> in times of high block rates (first /.ing), we had quite a few natural forks, and that at ~140 seconds/block with a still relatively small network
2811 2011-04-25 22:25:38 <ArtForz> I'm pretty sure 10 minutes is not completely arbitrary
2812 2011-04-25 22:25:57 <ArtForz> so far it looks like nearly none of the constants satoshi chose are
2813 2011-04-25 22:26:36 <ArtForz> probably 10 minutes is the minimum time where you get less than x % natural collisions at y seconds network latency
2814 2011-04-25 22:26:41 <BlueMatt> I believe network traversal is something like 1 minute in medium to large networks.  Hence, you lose ~10% of blocks
2815 2011-04-25 22:26:47 <Blitzboom> how about 21 million coins?
2816 2011-04-25 22:27:05 <ArtForz> fits in mantissa of a double with 1 bit to spare

2818 2011-04-25 22:28:40 <topi`> i wouldn't want to use floating points to represent actual money. who's going to get those rounding errors?
2819 2011-04-25 22:28:51 <topi`> 0.99999996 btc when I wanted to say 1.0
2820 2011-04-25 22:28:54 <ArtForz> what rounding errors?
2821 2011-04-25 22:29:03 <Diablo-D3> this is where I do my daily mention of ITS ILLEGAL IF THIS WAS REAL CURRENCY
2822 2011-04-25 22:29:11 <Diablo-D3> USE FIXED POINT YOU NOOBLETS
2823 2011-04-25 22:29:19 <topi`> there are certain situations where ieee705 implementations might return rounding errors
2824 2011-04-25 22:29:32 <topi`> I guess there's also an exception for detecting that
2825 2011-04-25 22:29:38 <ArtForz> yes, but the use of double here is very limited
2826 2011-04-25 22:29:44 <BlueMatt> topi`: so implement it as an int and add the . in strings
2827 2011-04-25 22:29:45 <Diablo-D3> FIXED. POINT. NOOBLETS.
2828 2011-04-25 22:29:48 <ArtForz> internally it's all int64s

2838 2011-04-25 22:30:52 <ArtForz> Diablo-D3: and how do you prevent... rounding errors?
2839 2011-04-25 22:31:15 <Diablo-D3> in fixed point?
2840 2011-04-25 22:31:19 <ArtForz> yes
2841 2011-04-25 22:31:28 <Diablo-D3> it doesnt matter, btc is an integer.
2842 2011-04-25 22:31:38 <lianj> BlueMatt: lol, in strings?
2843 2011-04-25 22:31:47 <purplezky> in fixed point your precision is "fixed" :)
2844 2011-04-25 22:32:00 <necrodearia> as opposed to broken
2845 2011-04-25 22:32:00 <BlueMatt> lianj: yea, never use a floating point anywhere
2846 2011-04-25 22:32:01 <Diablo-D3> its inappropriate to do simple math on integers in formats other than integer

2850 2011-04-25 22:32:12 <topi`> for the first time bitcoind is run, it seems to take all the CPU it can to request/process blocks ... I wonder what it really does? verifying the hashes from the blocks should be a quick operation.
2851 2011-04-25 22:32:18 <midnightmagic> the logic and rationale that went into the constants does not appear to be documented; this is partly why I do not consider the project fully open.
2852 2011-04-25 22:32:19 <lianj> BlueMatt: thats kinda crazy
2853 2011-04-25 22:32:27 <ArtForz> getting rounding for financial crap right is *hard*
2854 2011-04-25 22:32:28 <BlueMatt> lianj: it was mostly sarcastic
2855 2011-04-25 22:32:39 <lianj> BlueMatt: oh, thank god! :)
2856 2011-04-25 22:32:50 <BlueMatt> lianj: but if you follow Diablo-D3's suggestion to the word, its the only way to go
2857 2011-04-25 22:32:52 echelon has joined
2858 2011-04-25 22:33:08 <djoot> he said simple math, not division :)
2859 2011-04-25 22:33:39 <Diablo-D3> division requires careful tracking of remainders
2860 2011-04-25 22:33:43 <ArtForz> yep
2861 2011-04-25 22:34:01 <ArtForz> and - surprise, same thing in floating point
2862 2011-04-25 22:34:05 <necrodearia> 100000000 / 3 = 33333333r1; 33333333r1 * 3 = 100000000
2863 2011-04-25 22:34:12 <Diablo-D3> so yeah, as far as the secret jewish order of bitcoin goes, division is not simple math
2864 2011-04-25 22:34:45 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: and btw, no, the same thing isnt in floating point in the sense that the hardware and compiler design is conspiring to hide the details
2865 2011-04-25 22:34:48 <midnightmagic> dude you know, this is exactly why your miner isn't the only miner being used.
2866 2011-04-25 22:34:56 <ArtForz> ieee754 guarantees that simple add/sub is always exact as long as you don't overflow the mantissa
2867 2011-04-25 22:35:07 <Diablo-D3> so most programmers simply don't understand how it works.
2868 2011-04-25 22:35:15 <ArtForz> but why someone would use a FPU to add integers... no clue
2869 2011-04-25 22:35:20 <ArtForz> yep
2870 2011-04-25 22:35:23 autotron has joined
2871 2011-04-25 22:35:28 <ArtForz> fucking up with floating point is *way* too easy
2872 2011-04-25 22:35:42 <topi`> I seem to be getting lots of orphan blocks. are those going to get purged from the network at some point? say, 2 weeks old.
2873 2011-04-25 22:35:53 <Diablo-D3> midnightmagic: also, up yours.
2874 2011-04-25 22:35:55 <ArtForz> which is exactly why you avoid it like the plague
2875 2011-04-25 22:36:04 <necrodearia> ArtForz, In regards to previous discussion about 10mins vs 10sex: "The 10 minutes represents a tension between security and usability.  With a larger network, you can increase usability without so much of a concern for decreasing security as in a smaller network."  <-- What is your response to this statement from ahbritto?
2876 2011-04-25 22:36:13 <Diablo-D3> necrodearia: secs.
2877 2011-04-25 22:36:16 <necrodearia> saix
2878 2011-04-25 22:36:21 <ArtForz> you can't increase usablility
2879 2011-04-25 22:36:28 <johnlockwood> the more digits in front of the point, the less accuracy you get with the digits after the point
2880 2011-04-25 22:36:30 <ArtForz> 1 confirm at 10 sec/block is nearly worthless
2881 2011-04-25 22:36:42 <Diablo-D3> johnlockwood: yes
2882 2011-04-25 22:36:43 <necrodearia> How about 1 minute though?
2883 2011-04-25 22:36:53 <Diablo-D3> due to how fp is, literally, a floating point
2884 2011-04-25 22:37:12 <ArtForz> same thing, to provide roughly the same resistance to double-spending as 10min and 6 blocks, you need ~60 blocks at 1 min
2885 2011-04-25 22:37:14 <Diablo-D3> part of the number is used to store the binary exponent of where the point is
2886 2011-04-25 22:37:26 <ArtForz> yep, in binary ;)
2887 2011-04-25 22:37:30 <midnightmagic> Diablo-D3: if you weren't such a jerk about things to the point where people aren't confident you'd throw them under a bus for using "the wrong math" nobody would even bother using anything else. it's a question of trust, dude. take a lesson from deraadt: that guy is more of a jerk than you'll ever be, but users still trust him.

2891 2011-04-25 22:37:57 <Diablo-D3> midnightmagic: dude, THE LAW ITSELF will happily throw you under a bus
2892 2011-04-25 22:38:06 <BlueMatt> necrodearia: assuming it takes 1 minute for each block to propagate, you would lose ~50% of hash power to forks if you did a block/minute
2893 2011-04-25 22:38:08 <midnightmagic> Diablo-D3: What, are you judge dredd now?
2894 2011-04-25 22:38:17 <Diablo-D3> there is a reason that the WHOLE BANKING INDUSTRY is scared shitless of FP.
2895 2011-04-25 22:38:23 <midnightmagic> Diablo-D3: the law would, so you'd also be happy to?
2896 2011-04-25 22:38:37 <Diablo-D3> midnightmagic: its one of the few times the law is right.
2897 2011-04-25 22:39:14 <midnightmagic> anyway, that was just an example. I don't recall a single instance where you actually gave a shit about anybody, publically.
2898 2011-04-25 22:39:52 <midnightmagic> and then you throw out those dumbass jew comments.. geez, man.
2899 2011-04-25 22:40:23 <topi`> Diablo-D3: the whole banking industry was also very comfortable with using COBOL :)
2900 2011-04-25 22:40:33 <BlueMatt> midnightmagic: oh, come on, racist jokes are funny (as long as no one takes them too seriously)
2901 2011-04-25 22:40:37 <Diablo-D3> dude, dont insult the secret jewish order ofbitcoin, midnightmagic
2902 2011-04-25 22:40:54 <midnightmagic> they would be if they were funny.
2903 2011-04-25 22:41:03 <Diablo-D3> topi`: you know, as for 60 year old languages go, cobol isnt that bad.

2905 2011-04-25 22:41:15 <BlueMatt> ok Ill give you that diablo's particular joke kinda sucked
2906 2011-04-25 22:41:16 <johnlockwood> "Floating-points generally do not have an exact binary representation" http://bit.ly/hoReGA
2907 2011-04-25 22:41:47 <topi`> it's kind of a funny attempt at using "natural" language to describe machine operations
2908 2011-04-25 22:41:49 <Diablo-D3> and besides, for all you know, I could be jewish.
2909 2011-04-25 22:42:26 <lianj> or german
2910 2011-04-25 22:42:32 <topi`> so, why is the client processing all those orphan blocks at startup?
2911 2011-04-25 22:42:56 <topi`> I mean, since they're orphans, they don't belong to the main blockchain anyways. why not purge them?
2912 2011-04-25 22:44:00 <BlueMatt> topi`: very old ones probably should be, though new ones obviously shouldnt be
2913 2011-04-25 22:44:02 <jaromil> guys: cool book http://www.hackersdelight.org/
2914 2011-04-25 22:44:07 <BlueMatt> topi`: code it ;)
2915 2011-04-25 22:44:09 <jaromil> i have it. tells lots about binary math
2916 2011-04-25 22:44:18 <jaromil> very nice read
2917 2011-04-25 22:44:24 <BlueMatt> you cant just look it up on wikipedia?
2918 2011-04-25 22:45:34 <necrodearia> What would a Bitcoin clone look like if halving every 210,000 blocks were removed and there were unlimited amount of units that could exist as time continues?  e.g. each 10 minute block generation, the same number of units are generated always.
2919 2011-04-25 22:46:12 <BlueMatt> necrodearia: it would present too big a problem for adoption
2920 2011-04-25 22:46:34 <phantomcircuit> necrodearia, why would anybody start using it?
2921 2011-04-25 22:46:52 <necrodearia> BlueMatt, What kind of problem?
2922 2011-04-25 22:46:56 <ArtForz> actually it kinda makes sense
2923 2011-04-25 22:47:07 <ArtForz> notice that infaltion in such a system would still tend to zero
2924 2011-04-25 22:47:22 <BlueMatt> ArtForz: no, I agree, but I think people would be much less willing to adopt it
2925 2011-04-25 22:47:44 <ArtForz> as the X coins/block represent a smaller and smaller fraction of the total issued amount
2926 2011-04-25 22:47:48 <topi`> people adopt gold because it is scarce
2927 2011-04-25 22:48:15 <BlueMatt> one of the largest reasons people feel comfortable with bitcoin is that they know how many there will be...period
2928 2011-04-25 22:48:25 <ArtForz> true
2929 2011-04-25 22:48:31 <djoot> and would at some point equal the average loss of coins
2930 2011-04-25 22:48:59 <necrodearia> BlueMatt, Actually, I think the largest reason people feel comfortable with bitcoin is that they know the rate of generation is fixed and the units created out of thin air is known.
2931 2011-04-25 22:49:03 <BlueMatt> and I would argue that the most important issue for bitcoin is adoption, what makes long-term economic sense if we assume adoption isnt always the best idea
2932 2011-04-25 22:49:26 <necrodearia> Therefore, even if the amount of units were to remain constant and not halve ever, the rate of currency creation would be known and that is all that matters.
2933 2011-04-25 22:49:37 <lianj> BlueMatt: but technically bitcoin could exceed how much there will be, right?
2934 2011-04-25 22:50:01 <midnightmagic> except we also know that a bitcoin id 8-digiti divisible and the current decimal point is a purely psychological barrier
2935 2011-04-25 22:50:02 <BlueMatt> necrodearia: I disagree, one of the reasons some people adopt bitcoin is to get a slice of that 21 million early for when deflation kicks in
2936 2011-04-25 22:50:06 <BlueMatt> (assuming we get adoption)
2937 2011-04-25 22:50:21 <BlueMatt> lianj: what do you mean?
2938 2011-04-25 22:50:45 <BlueMatt> if there is always more...well you arent getting a slice, you are just getting coins
2939 2011-04-25 22:50:50 Greek_o_nikos has quit (Quit: Leaving)
2940 2011-04-25 22:51:07 <BlueMatt> and as such a huge percent of the people in our current user-base are people who object to the fed simply because they can and do print money
2941 2011-04-25 22:51:13 <topi`> BlueMatt: and the best strategy for everyone [who got a slice of those 21M coins] is to make sure bitcoin succeeds and is adopted
2942 2011-04-25 22:51:22 <necrodearia> BlueMatt, People still accept us dollar, and there will always be more us dollar created out of thin air
2943 2011-04-25 22:51:35 <necrodearia> BlueMatt, That doesn't stop anyone frm using us dollar
2944 2011-04-25 22:51:36 <BlueMatt> necrodearia: yes, but that is for different reasons
2945 2011-04-25 22:51:42 <topi`> this is one huge ponzi scheme :) with the exception, that with bitcoins you can support xkcd.com
2946 2011-04-25 22:51:46 <midnightmagic> necrodearia: you are right. make such a system and i'll devote mining to your blockchain.
2947 2011-04-25 22:51:48 <BlueMatt> in order to bootstrap a currency you have to play by different rules
2948 2011-04-25 22:52:19 <BlueMatt> topi`: it isnt, but you have to admit you see where people are coming from when they say that
2949 2011-04-25 22:52:19 <topi`> everyone, who tried to create new currencies, knows how difficult it is to bootstrap a new currency..
2950 2011-04-25 22:52:22 <Blitzboom> i still see no decent shops accepting bitcoin
2951 2011-04-25 22:52:25 <midnightmagic> i'll also happily trade it in -otc. and, if I ever get around to participating in it, i'll make sure anything i'm involved in will accept either blockchain.
2952 2011-04-25 22:52:47 <topi`> BlueMatt: I was being sarcastic.
2953 2011-04-25 22:53:08 <lianj> BlueMatt: http://timothyblee.com/2011/04/19/bitcoins-collusion-problem/
2954 2011-04-25 22:53:09 <BlueMatt> topi`: I know I just wanted to point out that it is a legitimate concern, if not expressed well
2955 2011-04-25 22:53:26 <midnightmagic> Blitzboom: it's just not big enough yet. it will as soon as the total valuation of the currency is large enough to make merchants happy about the security of their monies
2956 2011-04-25 22:53:28 <BlueMatt> midnightmagic: necrodearia's idea is a better system, the problem is it doesn't pose a good method for bootstrapping
2957 2011-04-25 22:53:42 <topi`> lianj: none of the mechanisms timothy presents there, are plausible. he does NOT understand what open source is all about.
2958 2011-04-25 22:53:45 <BlueMatt> midnightmagic: chicken and egg problem
2959 2011-04-25 22:53:46 <Blitzboom> midnightmagic: lol, please
2960 2011-04-25 22:53:53 <ArtForz> collusion problem is wrong

2965 2011-04-25 22:54:12 <Blitzboom> they can wait eternally
2966 2011-04-25 22:54:19 <johnlockwood> so if 500 million people used bitcoins, 1BTC would be a significant sum
2967 2011-04-25 22:54:23 <midnightmagic> Blitzboom: there's just no infrastructure. it will.
2968 2011-04-25 22:54:42 <BlueMatt> midnightmagic: look at eur-usd conversion rates, its crazy
2969 2011-04-25 22:54:42 <lianj> topi`: youre going to wait and see? :D
2970 2011-04-25 22:54:49 <BlueMatt> almost as crazy as btc-usd rates
2971 2011-04-25 22:55:11 <BlueMatt> problem is people who use eur can pay their supply chain in eur so dont have to worry, not so much with btc
2972 2011-04-25 22:55:22 <ArtForz> to change basic rules, you'd need a vast majority of *traders*, not nodes

2974 2011-04-25 22:55:58 <BlueMatt> one of the ideal ways to get merchants right now is to create a paypal-like site which transparently allows btc for merchants.  They dont have to deal with it or even know its there
2975 2011-04-25 22:56:09 <BlueMatt> but we can all pay in btc and merchants get their stable usd prices
2976 2011-04-25 22:56:13 <BlueMatt> or eur or whatever
2977 2011-04-25 22:56:33 <topi`> but btc is not very stable yet.

2986 2011-04-25 22:57:46 <BlueMatt> the site can convert btc instantly so they dont have to worry about rates either

2992 2011-04-25 22:59:32 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: so someone buys with bitcoins so they can sell them for fiat money?
2993 2011-04-25 22:59:37 <Blitzboom> meh
2994 2011-04-25 22:59:41 <lianj> phantomcircuit: dont convince, boot a botnet
2995 2011-04-25 22:59:45 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: that would help bootstrap very well
2996 2011-04-25 22:59:51 <BlueMatt> even if its not ideal, it would work
2997 2011-04-25 22:59:53 <Blitzboom> yeah, i guess it’s necessary
2998 2011-04-25 22:59:57 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: no, it is right
2999 2011-04-25 23:00:01 <Blitzboom> for the start

3001 2011-04-25 23:00:08 <topi`> bitcoin's value will be in micropayments and all sorts of new ways of trading
3002 2011-04-25 23:00:15 <topi`> there'll be plenty of opportunities
3003 2011-04-25 23:00:30 <gjs278> bitcoin's value will be in mining these things and selling them to people whenever the market decides to go to 1.90

3006 2011-04-25 23:00:34 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: it would probably remain-its what paypal does for most merchants now anyway
3007 2011-04-25 23:00:43 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, and it's not in the miners best interest to do so
3008 2011-04-25 23:00:50 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: it can be
3009 2011-04-25 23:00:52 <BlueMatt> though obviously some merchants would convert all usd/eur/btc into btc instead of usd (maybe)
3010 2011-04-25 23:00:59 <topi`> gjs278: a 5870 is still an expensive investment in a volatile market
3011 2011-04-25 23:01:02 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: for example, delaying the halving is in miners' interests
3012 2011-04-25 23:01:29 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, depends
3013 2011-04-25 23:01:48 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, if they changed the rules of the game after people had bought in that might cause a confidence crises
3014 2011-04-25 23:01:53 <phantomcircuit> which would be bad for their reserves
3015 2011-04-25 23:02:09 <phantomcircuit> which in turn would be bad for transaction fees
3016 2011-04-25 23:02:31 <topi`> it's very simple: you don't change the rules mid-game

3025 2011-04-25 23:09:57 <necrodearia> Re: bitcoin divisibility, that is definitely a problem.  If 20,000,000 of the 21,000,000 bitcoins are lost due to seized computers by government terrorists, then 1,000,000 bitcoins may not be divisible enough to allow for enough value to all users and will eventually fail.
3026 2011-04-25 23:10:22 <necrodearia> and of the 1,000,000 remaining, if 800,000 of those are lost, then only 200,000 remaining...
3027 2011-04-25 23:10:28 <necrodearia> or 200,000.00000000

3031 2011-04-25 23:11:23 <phantomcircuit> necrodearia, are you serious? that's one of the first things covered by the FAQ
3032 2011-04-25 23:11:35 <necrodearia> hmm
3033 2011-04-25 23:11:39 <necrodearia> I'm not sure, just an idea
3034 2011-04-25 23:11:44 * necrodearia reads the faq again
3035 2011-04-25 23:11:54 <phantomcircuit> necrodearia, 1 BTC is divisible into iirc 10,000,000 pieces
3036 2011-04-25 23:11:58 <necrodearia> yep
3037 2011-04-25 23:12:02 <BaltarNZ> if a sizable nuclear war takes place bitcoin is screwed for sure, I'm out.
3038 2011-04-25 23:12:36 <necrodearia> so, for example, if mtgox.com is seized and all bitcoins affiliated with mtgox become lost...
3039 2011-04-25 23:12:42 <phantomcircuit> oh snap about to go to swap
3040 2011-04-25 23:12:47 <phantomcircuit> LATENCY INCOMING

3042 2011-04-25 23:13:21 <necrodearia> and, let's say mtgox had 50% of the total bitcoins in its wallet
3043 2011-04-25 23:13:33 <necrodearia> then 50% of the existing bitcoins would be gone practically forever.
3044 2011-04-25 23:13:37 <phantomcircuit> necrodearia, it wouldn't particularly matter
3045 2011-04-25 23:13:42 <ArtForz> and, let's say pigs could fly
3046 2011-04-25 23:13:48 <necrodearia> Then the value of all remaining bitcoins would increase

3048 2011-04-25 23:14:06 <necrodearia> But, let's say there's only 1 bitcoin left, and all 20,999,999 others have been lost.
3049 2011-04-25 23:14:15 <necrodearia> then there's only 100,000,000 of value
3050 2011-04-25 23:14:17 <BaltarNZ> yes lets say that.
3051 2011-04-25 23:14:31 <ArtForz> let's say theres only 1 sathoshi left, then it's value will be equal tot the total economy!!1one
3052 2011-04-25 23:14:36 <lianj> necrodearia: then the software is changed to generate 50 btc per block mining again prolly
3053 2011-04-25 23:15:09 <necrodearia> hmm
3054 2011-04-25 23:15:17 <necrodearia> just hypothesizing

3057 2011-04-25 23:16:32 <ArtForz> 21e14 base units looks like plenty
3058 2011-04-25 23:16:32 <phantomcircuit> necrodearia, 50 BTC == 5,000,000,000
3059 2011-04-25 23:17:20 <ArtForz> btw, weird coincidence
3060 2011-04-25 23:18:27 <luke-jr> ArtForz: until it becomes popular and idiots lose half of it
3061 2011-04-25 23:18:34 <phantomcircuit> and there's iirc 2 trillion USD nominally in circulation
3062 2011-04-25 23:18:39 <phantomcircuit> so
3063 2011-04-25 23:18:46 <necrodearia> ah, so instead of only 8 decimal places, the code could be changed so that 1.00000000 bitcoins can appear as 1000000.00000000 bitcoins?
3064 2011-04-25 23:18:52 <luke-jr> -.-
3065 2011-04-25 23:19:02 <phantomcircuit> necrodearia, sure

3070 2011-04-25 23:20:08 <ArtForz> luke-jr: and examples are far less than examples
3071 2011-04-25 23:20:16 <phantomcircuit> necrodearia, 20k BTC would be sub dividable into 100% of the current monetary base of the USD
3072 2011-04-25 23:20:37 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, sure but ask yourself, what is the limit to subdivision? it's the transaction format
3073 2011-04-25 23:20:48 <phantomcircuit> which can be changed with a version number pump
3074 2011-04-25 23:20:49 <phantomcircuit> so
3075 2011-04-25 23:20:55 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: uh, no
3076 2011-04-25 23:21:07 <luke-jr> changing the divisibility is no easier than changing the total
3077 2011-04-25 23:21:13 <phantomcircuit> uh
3078 2011-04-25 23:21:25 <phantomcircuit> technically the same
3079 2011-04-25 23:21:30 <phantomcircuit> politically easier
3080 2011-04-25 23:21:34 <luke-jr> ok
3081 2011-04-25 23:21:36 <necrodearia> kk, I just wanted to make sure, that for example if 20,999,999.99999999 bitcoins were lost and only 0.00000001 bitcoin remained, that that 0.00000001 bitcoin could still be divisible to entire bitcoin community, and it appears it can be adjusting the code in the software.
3082 2011-04-25 23:21:52 <phantomcircuit> either way the entire point is ridiculous
3083 2011-04-25 23:21:53 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: ideally, IMO, the format should be changed to a varint fraction
3084 2011-04-25 23:22:23 <gjs278> one of my f40's in raid 0 died. had to backup to 6 days ago
3085 2011-04-25 23:22:26 <djoot> technically not the same, since if you increase total without increasing everybodys balance you get a transfer of wealth from old coins to new coins
3086 2011-04-25 23:22:44 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, 0.999047619 is the BTC woudl have to be destroyed for this to even start to be an issue
3087 2011-04-25 23:22:47 <luke-jr> djoot: that's political, not technical
3088 2011-04-25 23:22:52 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: I disagree.
3089 2011-04-25 23:22:58 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, and that's assuming that BTC is as well used as the dollar :|
3090 2011-04-25 23:23:05 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: Bitcoin barely has enough total right now
3091 2011-04-25 23:23:11 <luke-jr> I'm assumign better-used
3092 2011-04-25 23:23:21 <luke-jr> USD is national
3093 2011-04-25 23:23:24 <luke-jr> Bitcoin is global
3094 2011-04-25 23:23:32 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, you realize there is only 2 trillion usd in circulation right?
3095 2011-04-25 23:23:43 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: yes
3096 2011-04-25 23:23:44 <phantomcircuit> the rest of it is money on deposit with institutions
3097 2011-04-25 23:23:52 <luke-jr> still counts
3098 2011-04-25 23:24:10 <phantomcircuit> sure but it isn't analogous to btc
3099 2011-04-25 23:24:23 <gjs278> how are there not enough bitcoins right now
3100 2011-04-25 23:24:44 <phantomcircuit> iirc there is about 20 trillion USD worth of hard currency in existence
3101 2011-04-25 23:24:52 <phantomcircuit> so like 200k BTC would be enough
3102 2011-04-25 23:25:04 <midnightmagic> 61.96 trillion. gdp is $74 trillion.
3103 2011-04-25 23:25:10 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: no
3104 2011-04-25 23:25:28 <topi`> phantomcircuit: there are other currencies in the world than USD
3105 2011-04-25 23:25:39 <phantomcircuit> topi`, key word, worth
3106 2011-04-25 23:25:48 <topi`> osorry
3107 2011-04-25 23:25:51 <luke-jr> on a global scale, Bitcoin only barely has enough
3108 2011-04-25 23:25:51 <topi`> i'd better get to bed
3109 2011-04-25 23:25:59 <ArtForz> luke-jr: why?
3110 2011-04-25 23:26:24 <MBS> i cant see people paying $100 for a bitcoin, lol, as a psychological thing
3111 2011-04-25 23:26:38 <luke-jr> ArtForz: because there's a lot of people on Earth, and they want more than 1 coin each
3112 2011-04-25 23:26:39 <ArtForz> actually that'd still be not very much
3113 2011-04-25 23:26:41 <midnightmagic> i can. as soon as it's adopted in enough places, it'll hit that easy.
3114 2011-04-25 23:26:41 <MBS> also most of the stuff people sell for bitcoins is still way overpriced
3115 2011-04-25 23:26:46 <gjs278> you'd just lie to them
3116 2011-04-25 23:26:50 <gjs278> and tell them .001 is a coin
3117 2011-04-25 23:26:52 <ArtForz> luke-jr: well, let's hope they never want gold
3118 2011-04-25 23:26:54 <gjs278> people pay $1500 for gold bars
3119 2011-04-25 23:27:15 <luke-jr> gjs278: I'm assuming coin = .00000001
3120 2011-04-25 23:27:16 <ArtForz> there's only about 150000000000000 *milligrams* available
3121 2011-04-25 23:27:18 <BaltarNZ> gjs278 little gold coins that is for $1500/usd
3122 2011-04-25 23:27:21 <midnightmagic> or we just have to wait long enough, and the inflationary currencies will just devalue to the point where ฿ is $100 anyway. :)
3123 2011-04-25 23:27:28 <gjs278> tell them a bitcoin is really a bar
3124 2011-04-25 23:27:31 <MBS> well people probably wouldnt buy gold at this price if it could dissapear into their computer
3125 2011-04-25 23:27:54 <MBS> bitcoins in # of gold
3126 2011-04-25 23:27:55 <gjs278> well, there would definitely be services that backup/hold the wallets for them
3127 2011-04-25 23:28:01 <ArtForz> MBS: keep it away from neutron sources
3128 2011-04-25 23:28:07 <gjs278> it's not like you buy a gold bar now and it shows up in the mail next week
3129 2011-04-25 23:28:07 <MBS> lol
3130 2011-04-25 23:28:36 <BurtyB> gjs278 it can be :)
3131 2011-04-25 23:28:57 <ArtForz> otherwise you'll get lots of funny mercury isotopes
3132 2011-04-25 23:29:16 <MBS> if i had a nuclear reactor, even though it would be a loss, would be awesome to make some gold-198 and plate it with gold-197
3133 2011-04-25 23:30:24 <ArtForz> why?
3134 2011-04-25 23:30:40 <MBS> for the lolz
3135 2011-04-25 23:30:46 <ArtForz> 196au would be more fun
3136 2011-04-25 23:31:01 <djoot> is it blue?
3137 2011-04-25 23:31:04 <ArtForz> decays mostly into 196pt ;)
3138 2011-04-25 23:31:11 <ArtForz> which is stable
3139 2011-04-25 23:32:09 <MBS> well thats no fun
3140 2011-04-25 23:32:17 <MBS> oh wait, i forgot to say plate it and SELL it
