  80 2011-05-19 00:14:27 <midnightmagic> lulzplzkthx: then your client would happily generate a bunch of blocks and nobody would ever accept them.
  81 2011-05-19 00:14:28 <sipa> since they don't match the difficulty they compute

 121 2011-05-19 00:18:29 <lulzplzkthx> Okay.
 122 2011-05-19 00:18:34 <sipa> it's just a formula that maps data in the block chain to a next difficulty, and that must match exactly

 256 2011-05-19 01:00:28 <luke-jr> davux: Mookman288: don't use Deepbit, use Eligius! :P
 257 2011-05-19 01:00:45 <davux> luke-jr: why?
 258 2011-05-19 01:00:50 <luke-jr> less fees
 259 2011-05-19 01:00:52 <davux> I'm new at mining
 260 2011-05-19 01:01:03 <Mookman288> I'm not concerned so much with fees. Eligius doesn't offer the same type of statistics.
 261 2011-05-19 01:01:20 <Mookman288> Also, the minimum payout is not even remotely in my league.
 262 2011-05-19 01:01:23 <[Tycho]> davux, use deepbit.
 263 2011-05-19 01:01:25 <davux> what's that share thingy btw?

 270 2011-05-19 01:02:57 <davux> not long, like 30 minutes

 275 2011-05-19 01:03:25 <Namegduf> Mookman288: Have you gotten any balance?
 276 2011-05-19 01:03:27 <Namegduf> Or shares?
 277 2011-05-19 01:03:28 <Mookman288> Yes.
 278 2011-05-19 01:03:30 <Mookman288> Both.
 279 2011-05-19 01:03:34 <[Tycho]> You'll need about 40 minutes to find at least one share.
 280 2011-05-19 01:03:48 <[Tycho]> That's why you see "0" speed.
 281 2011-05-19 01:03:52 <Mookman288> Interesting, it just shot up to 14.20 MH/s and I am nowhere near that.
 282 2011-05-19 01:03:53 <davux> so one share = 1 block?

 284 2011-05-19 01:04:07 <luke-jr> Mookman288: that means they're using a 5 minute sample
 285 2011-05-19 01:04:14 <[Tycho]> Mookman288, set your averaging window to 30 mins.
 286 2011-05-19 01:04:41 <Mookman288> Now I suspect I wait thirty minutes.
 287 2011-05-19 01:04:56 <[Tycho]> Mookman288, what is your miner's speed ?
 288 2011-05-19 01:05:04 <Mookman288> 1.1MH/s average
 289 2011-05-19 01:05:15 <Mookman288> Right now, it's at 1.9MH/s I have no idea why.
 290 2011-05-19 01:05:16 <Namegduf> Ouch
 291 2011-05-19 01:05:26 <Namegduf> How much electricity is that using?
 292 2011-05-19 01:05:37 <Mookman288> It's negligible.
 293 2011-05-19 01:06:04 <davux> [Tycho]: I don't get the difference between a block and a share
 294 2011-05-19 01:06:20 <metonymous_> a share is a solve at lower difficulty than the block
 295 2011-05-19 01:06:30 <metonymous_> it *may* solve the block, but usually not
 296 2011-05-19 01:06:32 <metonymous_> afaik
 297 2011-05-19 01:06:36 <metonymous_> i may be wrong
 298 2011-05-19 01:06:39 <metonymous_> figuring it out
 299 2011-05-19 01:06:40 <sipa> you're right
 300 2011-05-19 01:06:41 <davux> oh
 301 2011-05-19 01:06:57 <sipa> share = an almost-block, which may not beat the real difficulty for being actually usable
 302 2011-05-19 01:07:00 <metonymous_> it' "proof of work" for the pool's sake
 303 2011-05-19 01:07:07 <davux> why calculate with difficulty = 1?
 304 2011-05-19 01:07:18 <metonymous_> difficulty MINUS 1
 305 2011-05-19 01:07:21 <metonymous_> afaik
 306 2011-05-19 01:07:22 <Mookman288> Oh right, it's at 1.9 because I'm using the computer at the moment.
 307 2011-05-19 01:07:25 <sipa> no, difficulty=1

 312 2011-05-19 01:08:03 <davux> why does deepbit's interface say 0.00 MH/s?
 313 2011-05-19 01:08:08 <sipa> if you found 5 shares, and i found 1 share, and one of your shares was a real block, i get 1/6 of the gain, you get 5/6
 314 2011-05-19 01:08:13 <metonymous_> we should make "shares" a currency
 315 2011-05-19 01:08:26 <sipa> why?
 316 2011-05-19 01:08:31 <[Tycho]> davux, because you haven't found any shares yet.
 317 2011-05-19 01:08:36 <metonymous_> for inner pool trading
 318 2011-05-19 01:08:51 <sipa> what for?
 319 2011-05-19 01:08:52 <metonymous_> if everyone is working out shares with difficulty 1
 320 2011-05-19 01:08:58 <davux> but it only says Average speed in last 7 minutes
 321 2011-05-19 01:09:01 <metonymous_> they'd be like a poor mans bitcoins
 322 2011-05-19 01:09:10 <sipa> they are not bitcoins
 323 2011-05-19 01:09:18 <davux> can't the pool know what's my actual speed?
 324 2011-05-19 01:09:28 <sipa> davux: no it can only see your solved shares
 325 2011-05-19 01:09:33 <davux> oh
 326 2011-05-19 01:09:34 <metonymous_> couldn't a share be worth 1/difficulty BTC?
 327 2011-05-19 01:09:36 <sipa> the rate of which is used to guess your speed
 328 2011-05-19 01:09:38 <metonymous_> at the time of generation?
 329 2011-05-19 01:09:41 <sipa> metonymous_: yes
 330 2011-05-19 01:09:46 <[Tycho]> davux, with default interface settings it calculates speed by watching at your number of submitted shares per 7 minutes. But with your speed you need about 40 minutes to find a single share.
 331 2011-05-19 01:10:02 <davux> oh ok
 332 2011-05-19 01:10:04 <metonymous_> a share, the solution, does it include "when" it was created?
 333 2011-05-19 01:10:10 <sipa> no
 334 2011-05-19 01:10:16 <metonymous_> there goes that idea

 353 2011-05-19 01:11:24 <sipa> BTC is not sporadic

 357 2011-05-19 01:11:35 <sipa> you shouldn't rely on mining to acquire BTC
 358 2011-05-19 01:11:38 <metonymous_> shares have little variance
 359 2011-05-19 01:11:40 <metonymous_> no
 360 2011-05-19 01:11:44 <metonymous_> but if shares had value, directly

 378 2011-05-19 01:13:06 <sipa> exchange your shares for BTC
 379 2011-05-19 01:13:10 <metonymous_> i just want to hypethesis this
 380 2011-05-19 01:13:13 <sipa> in the pool you're mining
 381 2011-05-19 01:13:19 <sipa> and trade the BTC
 382 2011-05-19 01:13:23 <sipa> that's what it's made for
 383 2011-05-19 01:13:25 <sipa> shares aren't
 384 2011-05-19 01:13:26 <metonymous_> what if i started a new one, called "bitshares"
 385 2011-05-19 01:13:31 <metonymous_> that was always difficulty 1
 386 2011-05-19 01:13:36 <davux> :D
 387 2011-05-19 01:13:37 <ArtForz> davux: ask gribble ;)
 388 2011-05-19 01:13:48 <sipa> ;;bc,gen 1800
 389 2011-05-19 01:13:49 <gribble> The expected generation output, at 1800 Khps, given current difficulty of 244139.48158254 , is 0.00741580621583 BTC per day and 0.00030899192566 BTC per hour.
 390 2011-05-19 01:13:50 <metonymous_> ;;bitshares?
 391 2011-05-19 01:13:50 <gribble> Error: "bitshares?" is not a valid command.
 392 2011-05-19 01:14:03 <metonymous_> so there's a flaw?
 393 2011-05-19 01:14:05 <sipa> ^^ davus -> 0.0074 BTC per day
 394 2011-05-19 01:14:05 <metonymous_> hmm
 395 2011-05-19 01:14:09 <sipa> flaw?
 396 2011-05-19 01:14:19 <davux> ArtForz: it was not a question but the 2nd part of a sentence: it's like 1 cent of mexican peso every 40 minutes, what I can earn at 1.8 MH/s
 397 2011-05-19 01:14:22 <metonymous_> in bitshares, a btc alternative with set difficulty of 1
 398 2011-05-19 01:14:35 <sipa> ok...
 399 2011-05-19 01:14:45 <metonymous_> so there is no decimal place
 400 2011-05-19 01:14:53 <metonymous_> 1 bitshare is the minimum amount
 401 2011-05-19 01:14:53 <seasnake4> ;;bc,gen 1800000

 403 2011-05-19 01:15:01 <sipa> you don't seem to realize that blocks and bitcoins are not the same thing
 404 2011-05-19 01:15:13 <metonymous_> a block is redeemed for 50 bitcoins
 405 2011-05-19 01:15:14 <sipa> and that the only way to get bitcoins is by finding blocks
 406 2011-05-19 01:15:20 <Namegduf> metonymous_: Why not just use decimal places?
 407 2011-05-19 01:15:21 <metonymous_> i'd change it
 408 2011-05-19 01:15:32 <metonymous_> Namegduf: numerous reasons, it has to move
 409 2011-05-19 01:15:41 <davux> ok, 3 pesos per week
 410 2011-05-19 01:15:44 <davux> haha
 411 2011-05-19 01:15:45 <metonymous_> u need t hcange GUI's
 412 2011-05-19 01:15:48 <metonymous_> 1, 1k, 2k, 3k
 413 2011-05-19 01:16:02 <metonymous_> 1M, 1G, 1T
 414 2011-05-19 01:16:18 <metonymous_> if you solve a "block" in bitshares, you get 1 share
 415 2011-05-19 01:16:19 <metonymous_> that's it
 416 2011-05-19 01:16:25 <metonymous_> a block, is one share
 417 2011-05-19 01:16:27 <ArtForz> 1P 1E 1Z 1Y
 418 2011-05-19 01:16:34 <jercos> 1LOL

 420 2011-05-19 01:16:48 <metonymous_> difficulty 1, 1 share, 1 block
 421 2011-05-19 01:16:56 <metonymous_> no fees
 422 2011-05-19 01:17:11 <Namegduf> Did you spend your bitcoins on drugs?
 423 2011-05-19 01:17:19 <metonymous_> automatic chain prunage
 424 2011-05-19 01:17:22 <metonymous_> at every node
 425 2011-05-19 01:17:25 <metonymous_> every transaction
 426 2011-05-19 01:17:32 <metonymous_> preventing chain size overload
 427 2011-05-19 01:17:39 <metonymous_> merkel chain stores "proof"
 428 2011-05-19 01:17:48 <metonymous_> well.. i like my idea
 429 2011-05-19 01:17:57 <metonymous_> time to brush up on my c++
 430 2011-05-19 01:18:02 <metonymous_> actually
 431 2011-05-19 01:18:09 <metonymous_> you could do what bitcoin does
 432 2011-05-19 01:18:16 <metonymous_> and 1/2 the rate every so often
 433 2011-05-19 01:18:25 <metonymous_> by doubling the difficulty at that date
 434 2011-05-19 01:18:39 <metonymous_> dificulty = 2 when 1 block = 25
 435 2011-05-19 01:19:01 <metonymous_> sipa!!! I need your counterpoint :(
 436 2011-05-19 01:19:35 <metonymous_> well, i'm going to see if i can implement it
 437 2011-05-19 01:19:53 <metonymous_> does anyone know of any flaws in my current logic yet?
 438 2011-05-19 01:20:06 <metonymous_> put it this way
 439 2011-05-19 01:20:10 <Namegduf> It's not logic.
 440 2011-05-19 01:20:13 <metonymous_> ?
 441 2011-05-19 01:20:17 <metonymous_> how not?
 442 2011-05-19 01:20:22 <Namegduf> There's nothing you're trying to accomplish and arguing how you do accomplish
 443 2011-05-19 01:20:30 <Namegduf> You're just coming up with a list of changes for no reason
 444 2011-05-19 01:20:34 <metonymous_> no
 445 2011-05-19 01:20:36 <metonymous_> there is reason
 446 2011-05-19 01:20:41 <metonymous_> the biggest is psychological
 447 2011-05-19 01:20:43 <Namegduf> Well you omitted it
 448 2011-05-19 01:20:56 <metonymous_> whole numbers are better for brains
 449 2011-05-19 01:21:09 <sipa> metonymous_: you understand why the difficulty exists in bitcoin?
 450 2011-05-19 01:21:12 <metonymous_> places like bitmunchies are already strugglingwith the 0.00 gui
 451 2011-05-19 01:21:16 <sipa> before you try to change it?
 452 2011-05-19 01:21:29 <metonymous_> sipa: to make a constant amount of coins produced per time period?
 453 2011-05-19 01:21:34 <sipa> no
 454 2011-05-19 01:21:41 <metonymous_> then why?
 455 2011-05-19 01:21:56 <sipa> it exists to have a block generation rate of 1 per 10 minutes
 456 2011-05-19 01:22:06 <lfm> metonymous_: you realize the difficulty is adjusted specificlly so we tend to get 6 blocks per hour?
 457 2011-05-19 01:22:07 <metonymous_> how is that different to wat i said?
 458 2011-05-19 01:22:12 <ArtForz> because.
 459 2011-05-19 01:22:14 <sipa> because blocks are not bitcoins
 460 2011-05-19 01:22:24 <metonymous_> blocks are worth bitcoins
 461 2011-05-19 01:22:28 <sipa> yes
 462 2011-05-19 01:22:30 <metonymous_> but why fixed rate?
 463 2011-05-19 01:22:33 <metonymous_> maybe i should read the paper...
 464 2011-05-19 01:22:37 <Namegduf> If coin generation rate exceeds the increase in demand
 465 2011-05-19 01:22:43 <sipa> mo
 466 2011-05-19 01:22:44 <sipa> no
 467 2011-05-19 01:22:44 <metonymous_> deflation?
 468 2011-05-19 01:22:46 <Namegduf> Then inflation happens
 469 2011-05-19 01:22:49 <lfm> its not fixed. it gets cut in half every 4 years
 470 2011-05-19 01:22:50 <metonymous_> inflation...
 471 2011-05-19 01:22:58 <sipa> metonymous_: if the block generation rate would become too high, you get a lot of collisions
 472 2011-05-19 01:23:01 <Namegduf> Fairly drastic inflation, potentially
 473 2011-05-19 01:23:08 <sipa> the network couldn't work with 10 blocks found per second
 474 2011-05-19 01:23:13 <metonymous_> aah, collisions are a good point
 475 2011-05-19 01:23:22 <sacarlson> sipa what would require changing to get block generation every 2 minits?
 476 2011-05-19 01:23:28 <sipa> that's the only reason they exist
 477 2011-05-19 01:23:29 <ArtForz> see "testnet when someone throws a few Ghps at it"
 478 2011-05-19 01:23:40 <metonymous_> what happens?
 479 2011-05-19 01:23:43 <lfm> sacarlson: it would need a new internet
 480 2011-05-19 01:23:46 <metonymous_> does it just grind to a halt?
 481 2011-05-19 01:23:59 <metonymous_> so it could work on a lan? or would CPU usage just skyrocket too
 482 2011-05-19 01:24:01 <sipa> at the current hash speed, we'd have a block every 2ms, if difficulty = 1
 483 2011-05-19 01:24:09 <metonymous_> hell yeah!
 484 2011-05-19 01:24:22 <sacarlson> lfm: why too much trafic?
 485 2011-05-19 01:24:29 <metonymous_> so, would collisions be the implication? primarily? and that the network couldn't handle that?
 486 2011-05-19 01:24:30 <lfm> ya
 487 2011-05-19 01:24:43 <sipa> since the propagation rate through the network is multiple seconds, that would mean a waste of like 99% of hash power
 488 2011-05-19 01:24:56 <sacarlson> lfm only on a big network but a small one maybe it could still work
 489 2011-05-19 01:24:58 <sipa> actually, 99.99%
 490 2011-05-19 01:25:03 <metonymous_> hmmmmm
 491 2011-05-19 01:25:06 <sipa> making an attack 10000 times easiee
 492 2011-05-19 01:25:08 <sipa> r
 493 2011-05-19 01:25:11 * ArtForz hands sip a few extra 9s for good measure
 494 2011-05-19 01:25:11 <lfm> sacarlson: but we need it to work on big net
 495 2011-05-19 01:25:25 <sacarlson> lfm: or many small ones
 496 2011-05-19 01:25:30 <lfm> no
 497 2011-05-19 01:25:32 <metonymous_> do collisions really occur that often?
 498 2011-05-19 01:25:40 <metonymous_> or, rather, at 1 every 2ms, would they?
 499 2011-05-19 01:25:46 <ArtForz> yes
 500 2011-05-19 01:25:55 <metonymous_> come on brain, keep up
 501 2011-05-19 01:25:55 <sipa> if there are 500 blocks generated every second
 502 2011-05-19 01:26:01 <sipa> and they need one second to reach you
 503 2011-05-19 01:26:01 <metonymous_> yeh
 504 2011-05-19 01:26:03 <ArtForz> unless you magically got network latency to < 0.01ms or so
 505 2011-05-19 01:26:19 <sipa> you'd be spending working on the wrong block for 99.8% of the time
 506 2011-05-19 01:26:38 <metonymous_> the block is dependent on the last "transaction" or something right? or is it the last "block" generated?
 507 2011-05-19 01:26:45 <sipa> block
 508 2011-05-19 01:26:54 <sipa> blocks order transactions, and refer to the previous block
 509 2011-05-19 01:27:01 <sipa> that way, they form a chain
 510 2011-05-19 01:27:06 <metonymous_> thankyou so far for helping me fix my bitcoin brain
 511 2011-05-19 01:27:15 <metonymous_> it's much appreciated
 512 2011-05-19 01:27:18 <lfm> must refer to prev block, they can be updated for every txn
 513 2011-05-19 01:27:18 <sipa> yw
 514 2011-05-19 01:27:19 <ArtForz> it's not a truck, it's a series of blocks!
 515 2011-05-19 01:27:25 <metonymous_> throw me an address
 516 2011-05-19 01:27:37 <sipa> if you really need one, you can find it
 517 2011-05-19 01:27:38 <lfm> its not a series of tubes
 518 2011-05-19 01:27:51 <metonymous_> grrr
 519 2011-05-19 01:27:56 <metonymous_> make me work to give gratitude
 520 2011-05-19 01:28:00 <lfm> if you make them they will come
 521 2011-05-19 01:28:01 <metonymous_> how non gracious
 522 2011-05-19 01:28:12 <metonymous_> i'd like to make the bitshares app anyway
 523 2011-05-19 01:28:19 <metonymous_> if it scales as badly as u say
 524 2011-05-19 01:28:23 <metonymous_> it'd show up very soon
 525 2011-05-19 01:28:29 <sipa> it won't scale badly
 526 2011-05-19 01:28:32 <metonymous_> even if just as an experiment
 527 2011-05-19 01:28:34 <sipa> it won't be used :)
 528 2011-05-19 01:28:36 <davux> if anyone wants to give any positive feedback: http://bitcoinfeedback.com/viewuser.php?id=82
 529 2011-05-19 01:28:44 <metonymous_> iv'e got 10Gh/s to play with
 530 2011-05-19 01:28:50 <metonymous_> it's enough to see if it scales
 531 2011-05-19 01:28:51 <lfm> metonymous_: make a pool where difficulty is 0.0002 and see if you can make that pool work
 532 2011-05-19 01:28:59 <sipa> 10 GHash/s? :o
 533 2011-05-19 01:29:03 <metonymous_> u can have less than 1 dificulty?
 534 2011-05-19 01:29:05 <sipa> yes
 535 2011-05-19 01:29:10 <lfm> metonymous_: sure
 536 2011-05-19 01:29:10 <ArtForz> yep
 537 2011-05-19 01:29:13 <metonymous_> i will try that
 538 2011-05-19 01:29:20 <sipa> though many miners only work at diff=1 or higher
 539 2011-05-19 01:29:29 <lfm> f them
 540 2011-05-19 01:29:33 <metonymous_> minerd and rpcminer?
 541 2011-05-19 01:29:43 <sipa> not sure about those
 542 2011-05-19 01:29:57 <sipa> but poclbm, phoenix, diablo, ... all do
 543 2011-05-19 01:30:04 <lfm> its an easy fix if you need diff < 1
 544 2011-05-19 01:30:05 <guiklb> lfm how can i set the pool's difficulty ?
 545 2011-05-19 01:30:09 <metonymous_> all the python ones
 546 2011-05-19 01:30:13 <metonymous_> it's in the pushpool conf
 547 2011-05-19 01:30:18 <metonymous_> i know that's what i'll do to test it
 548 2011-05-19 01:30:22 <metonymous_> server.json
 549 2011-05-19 01:30:25 <metonymous_> right at the very botton
 550 2011-05-19 01:30:31 <sipa> a pool isn't a problem
 551 2011-05-19 01:30:34 <lfm> guiklb: its the target value you send out in the getwork?
 552 2011-05-19 01:30:44 <sipa> the problem is network delay
 553 2011-05-19 01:30:56 <sipa> that needs to be a lot smaller than average block generation rate
 554 2011-05-19 01:31:14 <metonymous_> i never thought of it that way, that's a very good explanation
 555 2011-05-19 01:31:35 <metonymous_> there's only one "current block" isn't there
 556 2011-05-19 01:31:48 mesees has joined
 557 2011-05-19 01:31:50 <sipa> actually, the point is you don't know
 558 2011-05-19 01:31:54 <lfm> metonymous_: except when there is collisions
 559 2011-05-19 01:32:00 <sipa> from your own point of view, there is always one best one
 560 2011-05-19 01:32:10 <metonymous_> collisions are solved by network majority rule?
 561 2011-05-19 01:32:13 <sipa> and possibly other contenders
 562 2011-05-19 01:32:15 <sipa> no
 563 2011-05-19 01:32:21 <sipa> by which chain gets extended first
 564 2011-05-19 01:32:28 <metonymous_> by the netx block?
 565 2011-05-19 01:32:32 <metonymous_> is that why there are orphans?
 566 2011-05-19 01:32:36 <sipa> yes
 567 2011-05-19 01:32:41 <lfm> metonymous_: yes, each node picks a current block and assumes its right till it finds out different
 568 2011-05-19 01:32:57 <metonymous_> and transactions in that block, aren't valid, until there is another block after it?
 569 2011-05-19 01:33:07 <lfm> ya orphans choose the wrong block
 570 2011-05-19 01:33:25 <ArtForz> pead the raper yet?
 571 2011-05-19 01:33:28 <metonymous_> i've never seen an orphan block yeet
 572 2011-05-19 01:33:35 <metonymous_> ArtForz: no.... really really thinking i should
 573 2011-05-19 01:33:43 <lfm> metonymous_: txn in the wrong block they have to start over and try and get into a good block
 574 2011-05-19 01:33:43 <metonymous_> I read the abstract, i think
 575 2011-05-19 01:33:47 <metonymous_> but taht waas a long time ago
 576 2011-05-19 01:33:59 <sipa> metonymous_: you should
 577 2011-05-19 01:34:16 <metonymous_> have we ever got to a point where two competing split chains both get extended?
 578 2011-05-19 01:34:26 <metonymous_> sipa: i will read it
 579 2011-05-19 01:34:34 <lfm> metonymous_: some txn will be in both
 580 2011-05-19 01:34:35 <sipa> sure
 581 2011-05-19 01:34:40 <ArtForz> yep
 582 2011-05-19 01:34:46 <sipa> splits occur from time to time
 583 2011-05-19 01:34:49 <sipa> though only small ones
 584 2011-05-19 01:35:08 <sipa> there's never been one longer than 1 block (except if you count the bugfix-revert)
 585 2011-05-19 01:35:23 <lfm> some splits you migt never even see on your node, they are decided on another part of the net
 586 2011-05-19 01:35:28 <metonymous_> so a client will only look "up" from the current 'best block' for collisions, when seeting if to refuse a transaction, i gather
 587 2011-05-19 01:35:36 <metonymous_> ah
 588 2011-05-19 01:36:40 <metonymous_> sipa, waht did u use to hash ur name into ur account? just write urself a script?
 589 2011-05-19 01:36:41 <lfm> metonymous_: there is always one single "block chain" assumed to be valid till it isnt and then there is another valid "block chain"
 590 2011-05-19 01:36:58 <metonymous_> lfm,aaaha
 591 2011-05-19 01:38:52 <sipa> metonymous_: search for 'vanity patch'
 592 2011-05-19 01:39:14 <metonymous_> googles?
 593 2011-05-19 01:39:17 <sipa> http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=1387.0
 594 2011-05-19 01:39:20 <ArtForz> sipa: really inefficient though
 595 2011-05-19 01:39:20 <sipa> no, forum
 596 2011-05-19 01:39:25 <metonymous_> ta
 597 2011-05-19 01:39:33 <metonymous_> oooh!
 598 2011-05-19 01:39:39 <metonymous_> LOL i was looking for taht earlier today!
 599 2011-05-19 01:39:47 <metonymous_> was gonna python and rpc it, but it was gonna be soooo slow
 600 2011-05-19 01:39:49 <metonymous_> :D
 601 2011-05-19 01:39:56 <sipa> ArtForz: looking for a 4-character string was easy enough not to bother optimizing it
 602 2011-05-19 01:40:11 <ArtForz> well, you also got a really short nick
 603 2011-05-19 01:40:28 <metonymous_> is gavin a core dev?
 604 2011-05-19 01:40:36 <sipa> lead dev
 605 2011-05-19 01:40:45 <metonymous_> cool
 606 2011-05-19 01:41:01 <ArtForz> yes, he developed lead
 607 2011-05-19 01:41:11 <metonymous_> i'd be willing to join core-dev if it paid something... :(
 608 2011-05-19 01:41:14 <ArtForz> next up, developing tin
 609 2011-05-19 01:41:21 <metonymous_> tin?
 610 2011-05-19 01:41:56 <sipa> if you invoke alchemy in your project you can skip that, and go right from being lead dev to gold dev
 611 2011-05-19 01:41:59 <ArtForz> well, then only someone needs to develop copper and we can make nice PbSnCu alloys ;)
 612 2011-05-19 01:42:15 <metonymous_> XD
 613 2011-05-19 01:42:28 <sipa> metonymous_: it doesn't pay, by the way :)
 614 2011-05-19 01:42:33 <metonymous_> yeh\
 615 2011-05-19 01:42:38 <metonymous_> i gather
 616 2011-05-19 01:42:48 <metonymous_> there are so many btc related endeavers that do pay
 617 2011-05-19 01:43:05 <ArtForz> yeah, stupid RoHS totally killed the lead market *ducks*
 618 2011-05-19 01:43:07 <metonymous_> that it's hard to work on it 'cept where ur other business would benefit
 619 2011-05-19 01:43:27 <metonymous_> ArtForz: dense humour
 620 2011-05-19 01:43:40 rhett_ has joined
 621 2011-05-19 01:43:56 <ArtForz> yeah, heavy stuff.
 622 2011-05-19 01:44:04 <rhett_> I'm looking at the satoshi whitepaper.  I don't understand the last part
 623 2011-05-19 01:44:23 <erbs> which part bro
 624 2011-05-19 01:44:33 <brocktice> rhett_: which bit is that?
 625 2011-05-19 01:44:35 <lfm> PbSnCuAu alloy?
 626 2011-05-19 01:44:43 <rhett_> are they saying that if you have 30% of the computing power, there is a 17% chance that you can make up a 5 block lead ?
 627 2011-05-19 01:44:58 <lfm> rhett_: which last part? about what?
 628 2011-05-19 01:45:05 <ArtForz> lfm: fuck Au, gimme Ag
 629 2011-05-19 01:45:08 <rhett_> why would you ever wait more than 1 block before trying to change it?
 630 2011-05-19 01:45:18 <metonymous_> i like N
 631 2011-05-19 01:45:25 <metonymous_> N gives me happiness
 632 2011-05-19 01:45:26 * sipa wants At
 633 2011-05-19 01:45:29 <rhett_> chapter 11, calculations.
 634 2011-05-19 01:46:01 <rhett_> An attacker trying to double spend money doesn't really need 51% of the network cpu.  There is a good chance he might change it with 20% of the cpu, for instance
 635 2011-05-19 01:46:02 <lfm> rhett_: your double spend is in that block?
 636 2011-05-19 01:46:35 <brocktice> redMBA: oh I think I skipped over that bit
 637 2011-05-19 01:46:38 * [Tycho] never tried lead-free alloys, but heard bad things about it
 638 2011-05-19 01:46:39 <brocktice> err, sorry rhett_
 639 2011-05-19 01:47:25 <lfm> rhett_: well there is a chance of a finite advantage but eventually he gets caught out. perhaps why coinbase btc cant be spent for 120 blocks
 640 2011-05-19 01:47:30 <rhett_> My understanding is that he lets the block go through so someone verifies his transaction, and then he tries to catch up and solve more blocks fast, chaging history
 641 2011-05-19 01:47:40 <ArtForz> metonymous_: N? I'd like it better with more N and a O
 642 2011-05-19 01:48:07 <rhett_> yeah, but everyone can just make bitcoin clients to always try to get their money back
 643 2011-05-19 01:48:18 <rhett_> just try to send it to an anonymous id each time
 644 2011-05-19 01:48:20 <rhett_> why not?
 645 2011-05-19 01:48:25 <metonymous_> ArtForz: wholeheartedly agreed!
 646 2011-05-19 01:48:27 <lfm> rhett_: he only pull it off 17% of the time means he gets caught out the other times
 647 2011-05-19 01:48:46 <metonymous_> ArtForz: never was good at chemistry
 648 2011-05-19 01:48:46 <rhett_> so what if you get caught?
 649 2011-05-19 01:48:51 <rhett_> there is no feedback system
 650 2011-05-19 01:48:53 e0s_ has joined
 651 2011-05-19 01:49:00 e0s_ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
 652 2011-05-19 01:49:02 <lfm> rhett_: go to jail for double spending
 653 2011-05-19 01:49:02 <rhett_> every time it can be sent to a new address
 654 2011-05-19 01:49:08 <gmaxwell> rhett_: it depends on how long the rx side waits. if he waits 10 blocks then the person has to win a fairly long race.
 655 2011-05-19 01:49:19 <rhett_> bitcoin jail?
 656 2011-05-19 01:49:26 <rhett_> why would he wait any longer than 1 block ever?
 657 2011-05-19 01:49:38 <gmaxwell> rhett_: transactions don't exist in a vacuum.
 658 2011-05-19 01:49:50 <gmaxwell> rhett_: because you'd do that for a high value transaction.
 659 2011-05-19 01:50:00 <gmaxwell> The client tells you how burried in the chain a TX is.
 660 2011-05-19 01:50:06 <rhett_> gmaxwell, why wouldn't you try to get your money back every transactoin?
 661 2011-05-19 01:50:18 <sipa> rhett_: because just reverting a tx is pointless
 662 2011-05-19 01:50:19 <lfm> the half of the txn which is not accepted will be dissapointed to find he did not get paid and will ask that you be sent to debtteors prison
 663 2011-05-19 01:50:23 <gmaxwell> rhett_: because you would eventually get caught and go to jail, for one.
 664 2011-05-19 01:50:24 <sipa> you want to have gotten something in return
 665 2011-05-19 01:50:58 <sipa> from someone
 666 2011-05-19 01:51:01 <rhett_> i thought the whole point of bitcoin is it's anonymous.  Who is going to track you?
 667 2011-05-19 01:51:14 <sipa> rhett_: you don't get it
 668 2011-05-19 01:51:18 <sipa> i have 100 BTC
 669 2011-05-19 01:51:22 <sipa> i want to spend it twice
 670 2011-05-19 01:51:25 <lfm> rhett_: actually you are prolly right, no one would notice the failures
 671 2011-05-19 01:51:30 <sipa> if i can make a 1-block split
 672 2011-05-19 01:51:31 <gmaxwell> "Hello. This person had an agreement to exchange goods with me, he did some complicated technical stunt in order to renig and defraud me. Please press criminal charges, oh and after that I'm taking him to civil court"
 673 2011-05-19 01:51:43 <sipa> i will spend that 100 BTC on a computer
 674 2011-05-19 01:51:45 <gmaxwell> rhett_: it's not anonymous if you actually use it.
 675 2011-05-19 01:51:47 <sipa> get the computer
 676 2011-05-19 01:51:50 <sipa> and *then* revert it
 677 2011-05-19 01:52:25 <lfm> rhett_: it is annonymous in you cant really be sure who paid you, just there is often a prime suspect
 678 2011-05-19 01:52:26 <sipa> but obviously the seller is going to wait a few blocks untill he's sure the tx is buried deep enough
 679 2011-05-19 01:52:45 <sipa> so you'll need to make a split of a few blocks long at least
 680 2011-05-19 01:53:13 <gmaxwell> lfm: such as the person you sent the goods to. And the difficulty in tracking someone down should be a factor in how long you wait.
 681 2011-05-19 01:53:30 <jrmithdobbs> rhett_: bitcoin is not anonymous
 682 2011-05-19 01:53:32 jivvz has quit (Quit: Lämnar)
 683 2011-05-19 01:53:51 <Mookman288> [Tycho]: The 30 minute average speed did not fix the 0.00MH/s dealie. I suspect it's because I'm not generating enough.
 684 2011-05-19 01:53:55 <jrmithdobbs> rhett_: it's pseudo-anonymous, all txns can be traced they're just hard(er than normal) to associate with physical identities
 685 2011-05-19 01:54:08 <gmaxwell> E.g. if it's a friend and you know where he lives, you don't even wait for a single block.  If it's some weird people from judgementproofastan asking you to dropship to an empty field, you wait 100 blocks.
 686 2011-05-19 01:54:25 <jrmithdobbs> gmaxwell: 200
 687 2011-05-19 01:54:28 <jrmithdobbs> fuck those guys
 688 2011-05-19 01:54:30 <jrmithdobbs> haha
 689 2011-05-19 01:54:33 <metonymous_> 2000, difficulty hike
 690 2011-05-19 01:54:48 <gmaxwell> In the future someone will very likely offer a transaction insurance service where you send them the TX and they tell you if they're willing to insure it against reversals (for a small fee)
 691 2011-05-19 01:54:50 <rhett_> I feel like bitcoin demonstrated a lot of amazing things, but there are some flaws that could make the system work better
 692 2011-05-19 01:55:04 <jrmithdobbs> rhett_: what flaws
 693 2011-05-19 01:55:04 <gmaxwell> And they make that decision based on contracts with miners and excellent network visibility.
 694 2011-05-19 01:55:14 <rhett_> Does satoshi what to change anything?
 695 2011-05-19 01:56:13 <jrmithdobbs> rhett_: satoshi doesn't care
 696 2011-05-19 01:56:20 <jrmithdobbs> he's out
 697 2011-05-19 01:57:16 <rhett_> Well, for my personal tastes, I feel like the mining distribution was done in a way to de-incentivize tem sticking around.  I don't think the transaction-fee donation model will work.  I think transactions should happen faster, and they should be either anonymous or not, none of this in-between stuff.
 698 2011-05-19 01:57:37 <gmaxwell> rhett_: anonymity is really hard. I want a pony.
 699 2011-05-19 01:58:00 <metonymous_> dis-incentivise
 700 2011-05-19 01:58:23 <gmaxwell> rhett_: it's not clear to me that anything better than bitcoin+tor is even possible, and that combination is not anonymous except in very limited careful cases.
 701 2011-05-19 01:58:23 <rhett_> i mean, you guys are claiming that that it's a feature that you rely on knowing who bought something from you.
 702 2011-05-19 01:58:32 <luke-jr> jrmithdobbs: waiting for a PM from you
 703 2011-05-19 01:58:52 <gmaxwell> rhett_: Transactions have risks. Knowing who you transact with changes those risks.
 704 2011-05-19 01:58:54 <sacarlson> jrmithdobbs: I think one thing I saw in an article when satoshi was a part was p2p escrow
 705 2011-05-19 01:58:56 <jrmithdobbs> luke-jr: sry had job interview call thing
 706 2011-05-19 01:59:18 <rhett_> that's the question gmaxwell, I'm just saying I'd like to hear more theory if anyone thinks there is anything better possible or not
 707 2011-05-19 01:59:21 <erbs> rhett_: ive seen a scheme floating around for pure anonymity w/double spend protection in a p2p net...
 708 2011-05-19 01:59:22 <gmaxwell> sacarlson: the system can technically escrow. Software would need to be written.
 709 2011-05-19 01:59:37 <erbs> rhett_: however it required trusted issuers of coins
 710 2011-05-19 01:59:48 <sacarlson> gmaxwell: yes I was reading and thought of a primitive user interface for it
 711 2011-05-19 02:00:07 <gmaxwell> rhett_: you can get strong protection against reversals in btc without knowing who you deal with, but you have to wait.
 712 2011-05-19 02:00:33 <rhett_> i understand that, gmaxwell
 713 2011-05-19 02:00:39 <gmaxwell> or you could use escrow if you don't want to wait, or some kind of not yet existing underwriter.
 714 2011-05-19 02:00:41 <rhett_> thank you

 750 2011-05-19 02:11:04 <metonymous_> sipa: yeah, i never managed to get enough into it, got distracted by ... what's it called, squeak
 751 2011-05-19 02:11:26 <metonymous_> and then decided to give erlang a bash. btw - erlang would be the PERFECT language for a pool server
 752 2011-05-19 02:12:39 <metonymous_> if taht sentence makes no sense... don't worry :P
 753 2011-05-19 02:12:56 <sipa> you're probably right

 778 2011-05-19 02:14:54 <metonymous_> openssl/ecdsa.h missing
 779 2011-05-19 02:14:59 <oneman> is there any notable changes between .20.2 and 21
 780 2011-05-19 02:15:01 <metonymous_> in default "yum" installed openssl
 781 2011-05-19 02:15:04 <oneman> I missed the update
 782 2011-05-19 02:15:04 <sipa> metonymous_: fedora?
 783 2011-05-19 02:15:09 <metonymous_> sipa: yep
 784 2011-05-19 02:15:15 <sipa> they remove EC stuff because of patent issues
 785 2011-05-19 02:15:22 <luke-jr> oneman: yes
 786 2011-05-19 02:15:23 <ntosme2> hah!
 787 2011-05-19 02:15:24 <metonymous_> aren't addresses EC?
 788 2011-05-19 02:15:31 <metonymous_> so i built a separate openssl, with ec enabled
 789 2011-05-19 02:15:31 <sipa> ?
 790 2011-05-19 02:15:38 <metonymous_> and it still fails
 791 2011-05-19 02:15:46 <sipa> bitcoin addresses are hashes of the public key yes
 792 2011-05-19 02:15:49 <metonymous_> i figure i'm not *pointing* to it correctly
 793 2011-05-19 02:16:00 <metonymous_> SHA256(ECDSA(doobey)
 794 2011-05-19 02:16:08 <metonymous_> or ECDSA(SHA256(doobey
 795 2011-05-19 02:16:13 <metonymous_> the latter i think from memory
 796 2011-05-19 02:16:19 <sipa> what is that?
 797 2011-05-19 02:16:21 <metonymous_> aaaaanyway, i can't compile it! :(
 798 2011-05-19 02:16:38 <oneman> luke-jr, can't find a list of changes
 799 2011-05-19 02:16:40 <metonymous_> i think i have th compiler options wrong to tell it to use my custom compiled openssl
 800 2011-05-19 02:16:44 <jrmithdobbs> ther's patent issues in openssl? what?
 801 2011-05-19 02:16:52 <sipa> metonymous_: use -L
 802 2011-05-19 02:16:55 <sipa> and -I
 803 2011-05-19 02:16:56 <metonymous_> ECDSA, i think someone has rights over it
 804 2011-05-19 02:16:59 <ArtForz> no
 805 2011-05-19 02:17:03 <metonymous_> use -L librar,y -I include?
 806 2011-05-19 02:17:05 <ArtForz> just stupid paranoid distros
 807 2011-05-19 02:17:12 <metonymous_> it's not pure OSS?
 808 2011-05-19 02:17:17 <jrmithdobbs> ArtForz: ah
 809 2011-05-19 02:17:18 <sipa> of course it is
 810 2011-05-19 02:17:26 <sipa> but they are afraid of patent clains
 811 2011-05-19 02:17:26 <ArtForz> the EC patents do not cover a straightforward textbook impl
 812 2011-05-19 02:17:43 <ArtForz> just some optimizations which openssl doesn't use
 813 2011-05-19 02:17:58 <metonymous_> whats "fips" openssl?

 870 2011-05-19 02:33:42 <erbs> or just proxy = jsonrpc.ServerProxy("url", "user", "pass")
 871 2011-05-19 02:33:51 <jrmithdobbs> he does ifdefs on it but sets it in the damned makefile to 0

 873 2011-05-19 02:33:55 <metonymous_> or just not worth it

 877 2011-05-19 02:34:21 <metonymous_> may as well install it... if it's easy

 891 2011-05-19 02:36:05 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: your odds don't change based on history so if you have a 1/10000 chance of hitting you always have a 1/10000 chance of hitting regardless of history
 892 2011-05-19 02:36:14 <Dek> sure i understand that
 893 2011-05-19 02:36:20 <metonymous_> yay bournoli trials!
 894 2011-05-19 02:36:45 <Dek> but is it fair between small and large pools, ie if you have 1/10,000 of the hash rate do you get 1/10,000th chance each time or is it less due to efficiency of pooling
 895 2011-05-19 02:36:51 <Dek> what i am getting at is what is the likelyhood of a small solo miner completing blocks against massive pools. is it worth solo mining at all
 896 2011-05-19 02:37:29 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: the question doesn't make sense from a statistics point of view. everyone has whatever odds their hardware gives them

 960 2011-05-19 02:46:29 <luke-jr> metonymous_: edit your makefile; change 'shared' or 'dynamic' to 'static'
 961 2011-05-19 02:46:30 <metonymous_> *looking
 962 2011-05-19 02:46:43 <metonymous_> how do u know it's static?
 963 2011-05-19 02:46:48 <metonymous_> (just for my information)
 964 2011-05-19 02:47:02 <luke-jr> err
 965 2011-05-19 02:47:03 <erbs> you should have a libboost_thread.so somewhere too
 966 2011-05-19 02:47:04 <luke-jr> I meant the opposite
 967 2011-05-19 02:47:08 <metonymous_> lol
 968 2011-05-19 02:47:10 <metonymous_> hehehe
 969 2011-05-19 02:47:24 <luke-jr> -Bstatic => -Bdynamic
 970 2011-05-19 02:47:28 <metonymous_> will do
 971 2011-05-19 02:47:28 <luke-jr> that will fix it
 972 2011-05-19 02:47:40 <luke-jr> tho you still need the -devel packages for headers probably
 973 2011-05-19 02:47:42 <metonymous_> why can't i statically build boost-thread into the binary?
 974 2011-05-19 02:47:49 <luke-jr> because static is bad
 975 2011-05-19 02:47:53 <metonymous_> lol
 976 2011-05-19 02:47:56 <luke-jr> otherwise, no idea
 977 2011-05-19 02:47:58 <metonymous_> hehe
 978 2011-05-19 02:48:01 <metonymous_> ok
 979 2011-05-19 02:48:12 <jrmithdobbs> luke-jr: i don't get how that's useful for eligius
 980 2011-05-19 02:48:15 <metonymous_> if it works though, thanks, cos building boost would have been a pain
 981 2011-05-19 02:48:32 <jrmithdobbs> luke-jr: and i don't get what you're saying, heh
 982 2011-05-19 02:48:36 <metonymous_> and FRICK we have same failure...
 983 2011-05-19 02:48:37 <metonymous_> ok
 984 2011-05-19 02:48:38 <metonymous_> restart
 985 2011-05-19 02:48:50 <jrmithdobbs> luke-jr: cand you expound upon that? a purchaser could sign WHAT in the email message?
 986 2011-05-19 02:48:54 <luke-jr> jrmithdobbs: it proves you own the address, so you can configure the pool
 987 2011-05-19 02:49:04 <luke-jr> jrmithdobbs: they could sign the items and shipping address
 988 2011-05-19 02:49:10 <luke-jr> to prove they sent the payment
 989 2011-05-19 02:49:12 <jrmithdobbs> ok gotcha
 990 2011-05-19 02:49:18 <jrmithdobbs> might want to add those to that post
 991 2011-05-19 02:49:29 <metonymous_> luke-jr i've got .9 bTC in eligius for a long time, will it cash out or dissapaear?
 992 2011-05-19 02:49:36 dissipate has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
 993 2011-05-19 02:49:40 <jrmithdobbs> makes sense i was just having issues figuring out what data would be useful to sign ;P
 994 2011-05-19 02:50:09 <ninjaneo> does the rpc call for getaccountaddress create an entry in the address book if that account name hasn't been used previously?
 995 2011-05-19 02:50:18 <jrmithdobbs> luke-jr: think you skipped a couple sentences in your post due to your AH HA moent ;P
 996 2011-05-19 02:50:21 <jrmithdobbs> moment
 997 2011-05-19 02:50:22 <luke-jr> metonymous_: it will be paid when you reach 1 BTC or stop mining for a week
 998 2011-05-19 02:50:30 <metonymous_> ah, ok, ta :)
 999 2011-05-19 02:50:36 <luke-jr> jrmithdobbs: it's obvious from context? :p
1000 2011-05-19 02:50:48 <jrmithdobbs> luke-jr: wasn't to me and i even read the rest of the thread first ;P
1001 2011-05-19 02:50:55 <metonymous_> ther are two elgius? very cool
1002 2011-05-19 02:51:00 <ninjaneo> because i noticed it returns an address.... even if i type something ridiculous like ifuckmonkies
1003 2011-05-19 02:51:01 <luke-jr> metonymous_: yes
1004 2011-05-19 02:51:14 <metonymous_> luke-jr: kudos on an awesome pool
1005 2011-05-19 02:51:26 <luke-jr> metonymous_: kudos to 1RNUbHZwo2PmrEQiuX5ascLEXmtcFpooL :P
1006 2011-05-19 02:51:33 <metonymous_> yay me! http://eligius.st/~artefact2/us/199wSt2qkkDUAJUch3kErP1NW3eLvNcowW

1008 2011-05-19 02:51:41 <metonymous_> when was my last contgribute...
1009 2011-05-19 02:51:54 <erbs> in soviet russia, you pay the pool...
1010 2011-05-19 02:51:58 <luke-jr> I don't think anyone has made stats for that yet
1011 2011-05-19 02:52:06 <Dek> are all the current pools custom coded or is there some generalized solution for private pooling?
1012 2011-05-19 02:52:15 <luke-jr> Dek: parts are open
1013 2011-05-19 02:52:17 dissipate has joined
1014 2011-05-19 02:52:18 <luke-jr> Dek: no full solution
1015 2011-05-19 02:52:33 <metonymous_> i was thinking of making a pool, where u contribute, and get nothing.
1016 2011-05-19 02:52:35 <metonymous_> i like it
1017 2011-05-19 02:52:37 <Dek> lol
1018 2011-05-19 02:52:39 <metonymous_> reckon it'll be successful?
1019 2011-05-19 02:52:46 <metonymous_> it's like charity
1020 2011-05-19 02:52:47 <metonymous_> to me
1021 2011-05-19 02:52:48 <erbs> luke-jr: will you let users audit the proofs of work or not? otherwise you could be inflating the number of shares to reduce payouts
1022 2011-05-19 02:53:22 <metonymous_> i think more displays should render as 913,899.84 μBTC
1023 2011-05-19 02:53:32 <metonymous_> it makes u feel more happy about small winnings
1024 2011-05-19 02:53:38 <metonymous_> and angry about high fees
1025 2011-05-19 02:53:57 <metonymous_> just my 20,000.00μBTC
1026 2011-05-19 02:54:16 <erbs> interesting
1027 2011-05-19 02:54:48 <nanotube> erbs: python-bitcoinrpc doesn't seem to have that method... and at any rate the constructor seems to have code to just parse the u/p out of the url.

1029 2011-05-19 02:55:19 <metonymous_> luke-jr: dynamic didn't fix me compiler big :( i don't think, rather same error
1030 2011-05-19 02:55:25 <metonymous_> make clean, remake
1031 2011-05-19 02:55:38 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: all bits but the ui and payout logic are open
1032 2011-05-19 02:55:38 <metonymous_> i'll see if i can work it out though... never bother
1033 2011-05-19 02:55:39 <erbs> metonymous_, what libs do you have in lib64.. ls /usr/lib/lib64/libbost_thread*
1034 2011-05-19 02:55:48 <erbs> *oost
1035 2011-05-19 02:56:35 <metonymous_> well, firstly it's /usr/lib64, but /usr/lib64/libboost_thread-mt.a  /usr/lib64/libboost_thread-mt.so  /usr/lib64/libboost_thread-mt.so.1.41.0
1036 2011-05-19 02:56:46 <metonymous_> what does "mt" mean
1037 2011-05-19 02:56:51 <erbs> ahh.. you don't have the single threaded lib
1038 2011-05-19 02:56:55 <erbs> thats thread safe
1039 2011-05-19 02:57:01 <metonymous_> multithread
1040 2011-05-19 02:57:01 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: you could piece together a working one assuming you're not doing something innovative like luke pretty quickly
1041 2011-05-19 02:57:04 <luke-jr> erbs: people can already audit the proofs
1042 2011-05-19 02:57:06 <metonymous_> can i just change the include?
1043 2011-05-19 02:57:09 <metonymous_> to -mt?
1044 2011-05-19 02:57:16 <Dek> ok I would like to try
1045 2011-05-19 02:57:18 <erbs> you can probably safely update references to libboost_thread-mt
1046 2011-05-19 02:57:26 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: good luck
1047 2011-05-19 02:57:26 <metonymous_> i'll try
1048 2011-05-19 02:57:35 <Dek> i am researching it on forums to try to find those pieces if you hav any leads you could pm me plz do
1049 2011-05-19 02:57:38 <metonymous_> LOL # for boost 1.37, add -mt to the boost libraries
1050 2011-05-19 02:57:40 <erbs> but seems weird you should also have the single thread version
1051 2011-05-19 02:57:44 <Dek> i appreciate it
1052 2011-05-19 02:57:46 <metonymous_> one line above where iw as
1053 2011-05-19 02:57:48 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: the open pieces aren't secret.
1054 2011-05-19 02:57:49 <metonymous_> ok
1055 2011-05-19 02:57:51 <erbs> hehe
1056 2011-05-19 02:57:52 <metonymous_> what should i look out for?
1057 2011-05-19 02:57:57 BlueMattBot has joined
1058 2011-05-19 02:58:07 <Dek> I can write whatever is missing given time
1059 2011-05-19 02:58:16 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: pushpool and bitcoind. the rest you have to sort out yourself (and you will probably need to modify the open pieces to actually do what you want)
1060 2011-05-19 02:58:19 <metonymous_> should i "-mt" all of the boosts? or just thread?
1061 2011-05-19 02:58:21 <Dek> dont need to be as fancy as public pools
1062 2011-05-19 02:58:35 <Dek> ok thanks
1063 2011-05-19 02:58:36 <erbs> metonymous_: see what the next error is..
1064 2011-05-19 02:58:48 <metonymous_> lol "cannot find -ldb_cxx"
1065 2011-05-19 02:58:59 <erbs> im using boost 1.33
1066 2011-05-19 02:59:01 <metonymous_> that's berekelyey?
1067 2011-05-19 02:59:06 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: the docs on pushpool are awful so be prepared for code reads just got it running
1068 2011-05-19 02:59:27 <erbs> thats dbxml i think
1069 2011-05-19 02:59:29 <Dek> lol naturally I just found it and the readme is about 5 line slong
1070 2011-05-19 02:59:34 <Dek> should be fun
1071 2011-05-19 02:59:35 <metonymous_> i'll handhold u through pushpool for 3 BTC
1072 2011-05-19 02:59:48 <jrmithdobbs> haha
1073 2011-05-19 02:59:50 <metonymous_> xml? cxx? ok, sounds familiar
1074 2011-05-19 02:59:50 <Dek> o ya? too bad i need to set up pool to generate btc lol
1075 2011-05-19 03:00:00 <metonymous_> ok, 10USD
1076 2011-05-19 03:00:03 <metonymous_> ok
1077 2011-05-19 03:00:13 <erbs> yum install libdb-cxx.i686
1078 2011-05-19 03:00:14 <metonymous_> 3BTC from ur first block
1079 2011-05-19 03:00:16 <metonymous_> how's that sound
1080 2011-05-19 03:00:20 <Dek> yeah id do that for sure
1081 2011-05-19 03:00:24 <metonymous_> ta erbs, ur a legend
1082 2011-05-19 03:00:37 <metonymous_> ok, let me compile bitcoind, then i'm urs
1083 2011-05-19 03:00:50 <Dek> sure im ready to roll just let me know
1084 2011-05-19 03:01:08 <metonymous_> erbs GRRR no such package
1085 2011-05-19 03:01:09 <metonymous_> ok
1086 2011-05-19 03:01:12 <metonymous_> time to earn money
1087 2011-05-19 03:01:41 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: not to be a dick, but if you can build posix software don't wast your money
1088 2011-05-19 03:01:58 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: and look at the db*.c files to figure out the schema
1089 2011-05-19 03:02:04 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: that's all the "handholding" you need
1090 2011-05-19 03:02:12 <jrmithdobbs> Dek: the deps are clearly listed in the readme
1091 2011-05-19 03:02:13 <metonymous_> it took me 3 days, on and off
1092 2011-05-19 03:02:18 <metonymous_> true
1093 2011-05-19 03:02:46 <jrmithdobbs> metonymous_: it's taken you >30 min to build bitcoind too ;P

1105 2011-05-19 03:09:39 <nanotube> erbs: i think i found it. testnet pulls .conf from datadir, not from datadir/testnet, due to a (imho) bug.

1111 2011-05-19 03:13:21 <metonymous_> db4-cxx exists
1112 2011-05-19 03:13:34 <metonymous_> but it's installed already
1113 2011-05-19 03:13:37 <metonymous_> how did i fix boost again?
1114 2011-05-19 03:13:40 <metonymous_> oh yeah
1115 2011-05-19 03:13:41 <metonymous_> mt

1162 2011-05-19 03:23:16 <metonymous_> if i made a prebuilt binary linux pool server, how much dya reckon u could sell it for, eg. luke-jr has anyone offered to buy ur software to run a competitor? how much would t hey have to offfer?
1163 2011-05-19 03:24:11 <jrmithdobbs> metonymous_: all his stuff but payout logic is open
1164 2011-05-19 03:24:25 <jrmithdobbs> metonymous_: and the api/web stuff
1165 2011-05-19 03:24:25 <luke-jr> metonymous_: no, and it wouldn't be a single binary
1166 2011-05-19 03:24:47 <metonymous_> correct, but gui is the pincher
1167 2011-05-19 03:24:53 <jrmithdobbs> metonymous_: gui is the easy part.
1168 2011-05-19 03:24:53 <metonymous_> for the 'ensemble'
1169 2011-05-19 03:24:55 <metonymous_> i guess
1170 2011-05-19 03:24:58 <metonymous_> reheally
1171 2011-05-19 03:25:30 <jrmithdobbs> metonymous_: yes the hard part is the payout logic and catching cheaters
1172 2011-05-19 03:25:42 <metonymous_> ah
1173 2011-05-19 03:25:53 <jrmithdobbs> metonymous_: and setting rates properly so you can actually run at a profit without ripping people off
1174 2011-05-19 03:25:59 <erbs> luke-jr is a cool guy. lets bury the hatchet bro
1175 2011-05-19 03:26:18 <jrmithdobbs> metonymous_: all of which luke does very well, tbqh
1176 2011-05-19 03:26:29 <metonymous_> agreed
1177 2011-05-19 03:26:51 <erbs> pools have to start publishing the work proofs of the entire pool, otherwise there's no way to know you're getting a fair share
1178 2011-05-19 03:27:03 <erbs> any pool that refuses to do that would raise a flag to me
1179 2011-05-19 03:27:10 <metonymous_> that's a huge db
1180 2011-05-19 03:27:21 <metonymous_> that's if they are share based, no?
1181 2011-05-19 03:27:31 <erbs> yeah its a few megs, and you only need to check a few thousand records to be 99% sure theres no significant fraud :)
1182 2011-05-19 03:27:47 <luke-jr> erbs: all the proofs for my pool are accessible on request to trusted community members

1186 2011-05-19 03:28:12 <erbs> well youve done lots of blocks
1187 2011-05-19 03:28:18 <luke-jr> about 1 GB per week, at 50 GH
1188 2011-05-19 03:28:22 <metonymous_> is taht in mysql? isam?

1190 2011-05-19 03:28:33 <metonymous_> sweet
1191 2011-05-19 03:28:35 <erbs> if you compress that down in a gz file?
1192 2011-05-19 03:28:36 <metonymous_> was wondering how it would cope
1193 2011-05-19 03:29:17 <metonymous_> -rw-rw-r--  1 ec2-user ec2-user  80M May 17 00:43 shares.log.1

1195 2011-05-19 03:29:34 <metonymous_> but taht's not maximum compression
1196 2011-05-19 03:30:53 <erbs> yeah that makes sense
1197 2011-05-19 03:31:16 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: i have no doubt luke would show anyone who asks and isn't you tbqh
1198 2011-05-19 03:31:38 <erbs> jrmithdobbs: has anyone actually checked hit?
1199 2011-05-19 03:31:46 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: yes.

1217 2011-05-19 03:34:05 <erbs> i really have to wonder if any pool would offer up proofs in a dispute
1218 2011-05-19 03:34:18 <erbs> since its by manual request only
1219 2011-05-19 03:34:21 <EPiSKiNG> are difficulties projected via a 2 week timeframe?
1220 2011-05-19 03:34:28 <sacarlson> metonymous_: thanks I'm new to the windows world here
1221 2011-05-19 03:34:47 <metonymous_> no worries

1232 2011-05-19 03:39:30 <metonymous_> sell the software t o people? but make it AGPL?
1233 2011-05-19 03:39:55 <metonymous_> rely on being "newer" than their code?
1234 2011-05-19 03:40:48 <bd_> metonymous_: Sell support.
1235 2011-05-19 03:40:59 <metonymous_> there's an idea
1236 2011-05-19 03:41:24 <metonymous_> sell the software as license? like redhat and them?
1237 2011-05-19 03:41:32 <metonymous_> with support contracts or something?

1242 2011-05-19 03:42:49 <metonymous_> i reckon i could do that
1243 2011-05-19 03:42:54 <metonymous_> but i'd have to prove myself first
1244 2011-05-19 03:43:03 <metonymous_> i guess runnign a pool might deo that

1280 2011-05-19 03:49:37 <erbs> any PR in a major outlet tends to inflate the price
1281 2011-05-19 03:49:42 <erbs> the content of the article is irrelevant
1282 2011-05-19 03:49:54 <ninjaneo> LOL using bitcoins is like stealing art, is that what they are insinuating
1283 2011-05-19 03:50:17 <erbs> thats a valid point i guess
1284 2011-05-19 03:50:22 <xelister> "But today criminals might not need to resort to stealing old masters to facilitate their deals. They might use bitcoin, "
1285 2011-05-19 03:50:26 <xelister> ok Im a criminal
1286 2011-05-19 03:50:43 <xelister> 1000 BTC to have pack of drunk russian soliders beat up author of that article  ;)
1287 2011-05-19 03:50:59 <phantomcircuit> ninjaneo, yes it is
1288 2011-05-19 03:51:00 <erbs> both bitcoins and art can be laundered without being monitored by traditional bank / fraud systems
1289 2011-05-19 03:51:29 <ninjaneo> so can wooden nickels
1290 2011-05-19 03:51:33 <erbs> at a bank any transaction over >$10K is immediately reported to the IRS

1298 2011-05-19 03:52:21 <jrmithdobbs> phantomcircuit: they were real fuzzy about the actual reasoning for the change
1299 2011-05-19 03:52:24 <xelister> phantomcircuit: pedorists

1303 2011-05-19 03:52:42 <Namegduf> Nevermind that question for now
1304 2011-05-19 03:52:46 <erbs> depending on the particular day of the week they might be blaming the potheads, gays, abortionists
1305 2011-05-19 03:52:52 <xelister> lol Namegduf
1306 2011-05-19 03:53:09 <phantomcircuit> xelister, lolol
1307 2011-05-19 03:53:55 <Namegduf> I think the criminal problem is real and likely to increase, as a side effect of its design. But, hey, what happens happens.
1308 2011-05-19 03:54:17 <jrmithdobbs> Namegduf: until they figure out it's not really anonymous anyways
1309 2011-05-19 03:54:23 <jrmithdobbs> Namegduf: then we all get to have a good laugh.
1310 2011-05-19 03:54:32 <erbs> the $5,000 is a suspicious activity report, but its not done automatically. its at the banks discretion
1311 2011-05-19 03:54:57 <Namegduf> jrmithdobbs: There's ways to construct anonymous transactions, though, right?
1312 2011-05-19 03:55:02 <Namegduf> Laundering, for example?
1313 2011-05-19 03:55:30 <noagendamarket> you could get 50 runners to deposit in mt gox from 50 differnet banks
1314 2011-05-19 03:55:59 <noagendamarket> $250 000 right there....
1315 2011-05-19 03:56:12 <erbs> mtgox is cia bro
1316 2011-05-19 03:56:16 <jrmithdobbs> Namegduf: money has to come in and exit to be useful. so no, not really. Not in a way that can't be found by traditional investigative techniques.
1317 2011-05-19 03:56:21 <erbs> its a honeypot
1318 2011-05-19 03:56:30 <erbs> j/k yo haha
1319 2011-05-19 03:56:30 <jrmithdobbs> Namegduf: it'll take fbi/etc 10-20 years to catch up to the tech as usual of course
1320 2011-05-19 03:56:41 <Namegduf> jrmithdobbs: Well yeah, the moment it enters and exits the system it becomes followable again
1321 2011-05-19 03:56:56 <jrmithdobbs> Namegduf: no in the system it's followable. by design.
1322 2011-05-19 03:57:13 <jrmithdobbs> Namegduf: blockexplorer.com have fun
1323 2011-05-19 03:57:34 <erbs> given that irc is the home of "Anonymous" the nsa/cia have been monitored all irc traffic for a while looking for keywords
1324 2011-05-19 03:57:48 <erbs> theyre monitoring the entire net now
1325 2011-05-19 03:57:59 <jrmithdobbs> i still lol at the fact that anonymous seriously has fbi agents dedicated to them
1326 2011-05-19 03:58:02 <EPiSKiNG> Tycho around?
1327 2011-05-19 03:58:05 <Namegduf> Bin laden revenge jihad.
1328 2011-05-19 03:58:05 <jrmithdobbs> talk about law enforcement not "getting" it
1329 2011-05-19 03:58:07 <Namegduf> There we go.
1330 2011-05-19 03:58:30 <EPiSKiNG> is there any way he could make the share results on the right more quickly updated?
1331 2011-05-19 03:58:45 <jrmithdobbs> yes
1332 2011-05-19 03:58:49 <jrmithdobbs> will he? who knows.
1333 2011-05-19 03:59:03 <phantomcircuit> The most immediate risk, though, seems to be that Bitcoins will facilitate transactions for criminals, online poker players, tax-evaders, pornographers, drug dealers, and other unsavory types tired of carrying around a Vermeer.
1334 2011-05-19 03:59:04 <phantomcircuit> rofl
1335 2011-05-19 03:59:17 <phantomcircuit> really? because last i checked porn was legal and they used fucking banks
1336 2011-05-19 03:59:32 <Namegduf> The only way it will facilitate porn is through easier micropayments
1337 2011-05-19 03:59:39 <jrmithdobbs> haha
1338 2011-05-19 03:59:46 <jrmithdobbs> phantomcircuit: slate.com
1339 2011-05-19 03:59:50 <jrmithdobbs> phantomcircuit: are you really surprised?
1340 2011-05-19 04:00:12 <erbs> the fbi is basically dealing mainly with child porn now
1341 2011-05-19 04:00:23 <erbs> its the easiest crime to prosecute and gets them headlines
1342 2011-05-19 04:00:31 <Namegduf> jrmithdobbs: I was under the impression you could run a laundry service which took payments and would send on payments to a specified address minus a fee
1343 2011-05-19 04:00:49 <erbs> they dont have to do anything but sit in a dark room and fap to confiscated porn.. no risky operations like infiltrating a gang
1344 2011-05-19 04:00:50 <Namegduf> jrmithdobbs: And that that could be designed to effectively provide good anonymisation
1345 2011-05-19 04:00:57 <Namegduf> Although if the amounts are a giveaway, that's a problem.
1346 2011-05-19 04:01:05 <Namegduf> And there needs to be enough traffic, etc.
1347 2011-05-19 04:01:19 <erbs> i wouldnt be surprised if like 60% of the fbi budget is dealing with pornography
1348 2011-05-19 04:01:21 <jrmithdobbs> Namegduf: you can obsfucate it but it it's tracable enough that people need to stop printing that it's anonymous.

1523 2011-05-19 04:29:51 <ninjaneo> if you buy cloud computing you can get access to gigabit on a per minute basis

1527 2011-05-19 04:31:19 <phantomcircuit> jrmithdobbs, lol i uh have never done that illegal activity before
1528 2011-05-19 04:31:52 <ninjaneo> lol illegal activity
1529 2011-05-19 04:32:15 <ninjaneo> i dont think dos is even illegal, its just making more requests than your server/computer can handle

1534 2011-05-19 04:34:12 <ninjaneo> what the hell do they charge you with
1535 2011-05-19 04:34:29 <erbs> doj reports that 70% of fbi budget devoted to investigating alpaca sock-based fraud
1536 2011-05-19 04:34:33 <phantomcircuit> computer intrusion iirc

1538 2011-05-19 04:35:25 <ninjaneo> i dont see how dos classifies as unauthorized use, they need to recodify that shit
1539 2011-05-19 04:36:36 <phantomcircuit> ninjaneo, any logical reading of the statute doesn't include ddos
1540 2011-05-19 04:36:44 <phantomcircuit> however that's what they use and it sticks

1575 2011-05-19 04:46:26 <jrmithdobbs> nope
1576 2011-05-19 04:46:35 <jrmithdobbs> it's a fairly unique concept
1577 2011-05-19 04:46:49 <JoeCoolDesk> Are people just investing in BTC hoping to get a payoff or are people here actively developing it into their payment processes?
1578 2011-05-19 04:46:51 <noagendamarket> you probably heard about digicash
1579 2011-05-19 04:47:16 <jrmithdobbs> or maybe egold

1581 2011-05-19 04:47:21 <jrmithdobbs> but neither are anything like btc
1582 2011-05-19 04:47:40 <noagendamarket> they are all issued by a central company

1590 2011-05-19 04:52:23 <jrmithdobbs> because that's about all any of that was ever used for
1591 2011-05-19 04:52:23 <Juffo-Wup> pizza, condoms, what else does one really need?
1592 2011-05-19 04:52:26 <Juffo-Wup> oh yeah drugs of course
1593 2011-05-19 04:52:37 <JoeCoolDesk> No, I mean gift cards
1594 2011-05-19 04:52:38 <Juffo-Wup> also people with whom to use the condoms
1595 2011-05-19 04:52:44 <JoeCoolDesk> Like Xcox live
1596 2011-05-19 04:53:13 <JoeCoolDesk> There was some weird process where you went through 5 different services.

1629 2011-05-19 05:12:04 <jp_larocque> What's the accepted way to get raw Bitcoin block data, like that published at http://blockexplorer.com/q/nethash?  Run a patched or forked Bitcoin client?
1630 2011-05-19 05:12:12 <Namegduf> Decided to gamble $300 on seeing what the market does

1637 2011-05-19 05:14:23 <JoeCoolDesk> I have a PHP interface set up.
1638 2011-05-19 05:14:26 <jp_larocque> Since the commands aren't top-seekrit I'm hoping there must be a public fork that implements these interfaces.
1639 2011-05-19 05:14:31 <JoeCoolDesk> Anyone work with that?
1640 2011-05-19 05:14:41 <wumpus> jp_larocque: didn't make it into the baseline version yet
1641 2011-05-19 05:15:25 <jp_larocque> wumpus: Do you know of a public patch?
1642 2011-05-19 05:15:31 <sacarlson> JoeCoolDesk: yes I have created an exchange in php
1643 2011-05-19 05:15:55 <JoeCoolDesk> What kind of capital do you need for exchange?
1644 2011-05-19 05:15:57 <wumpus> jp_larocque: I'm pretty sure there is one, either as pull request on github or on the forum
1645 2011-05-19 05:16:33 <sacarlson> JoeCoolDesk: capital?  it trades usd, thai bhat, Weeds, btc
1646 2011-05-19 05:16:57 <jp_larocque> Alright, I'll keep looking.  Thanks for the pointers.
1647 2011-05-19 05:17:07 <dynamitedane> is there a specific mining chat room?
1648 2011-05-19 05:17:14 <wumpus> jp_larocque: there's also sgornick's python bitcoin utils which you can use to dig into the data files
1649 2011-05-19 05:17:33 <wumpus> jp_larocque: works outside the client
1650 2011-05-19 05:17:51 <erbs> im mining vag
1651 2011-05-19 05:18:21 <jp_larocque> That sounds interesting, but like it could be painful, periodically stopping the client to copy the safely data files.
1652 2011-05-19 05:18:38 <JoeCoolDesk> scarlson, you're going to need some capital to buy someone's BTC, right?
1653 2011-05-19 05:18:57 <sacarlson> JoeCoolDesk: I have 10 million weeds
1654 2011-05-19 05:19:07 <JoeCoolDesk> Weeds refers to?
1655 2011-05-19 05:19:18 <wumpus> jp_larocque: yeah, depends on what you're doing...
1656 2011-05-19 05:19:51 <sacarlson> JoeCoolDesk: weeds is another cyrpto currency with trust based capital
1657 2011-05-19 05:20:11 <jp_larocque> It wouldn't kill me to stop the client, I'd only need the raw data periodically and manually.
1658 2011-05-19 05:20:23 <sacarlson> JoeCoolDesk: it's only experimental at this time
1659 2011-05-19 05:20:32 <JoeCoolDesk> You trade for profit?

1677 2011-05-19 05:27:04 <JoeCoolDesk> How does a p2p client get its first peers?

1683 2011-05-19 05:27:54 <JoeCoolDesk> So a central server then
1684 2011-05-19 05:28:00 <metonymous_> indubitably
1685 2011-05-19 05:28:01 <jp_larocque> So I found a patch that adds getblockbycount: http://yyz.us/bitcoin/patch.bitcoin-getblock
1686 2011-05-19 05:28:08 <sacarlson> JoeCoolDesk: oh yes it has IRC and fall back to like 300 hardcoded address
1687 2011-05-19 05:28:39 <JoeCoolDesk> How about bittorrent?
1688 2011-05-19 05:29:03 <jp_larocque> Is it the case that if I have the history of block creation times, I can calculate the target value for each retargeting event, just as Bitcoin does?  Or is there more to it than that?

1691 2011-05-19 05:30:34 <JoeCoolDesk> Trackerless even?

1697 2011-05-19 05:34:30 <metonymous_> it still needs peers
1698 2011-05-19 05:34:40 <metonymous_> it then asks the "cloud" for stuff
1699 2011-05-19 05:34:50 <metonymous_> u have to bootstrap ur connections somehow

1714 2011-05-19 05:41:33 <erbs> The EU’s massive Project Indect, which we’ve discussed before, is going strong. Among other prerogatives, the initiative will require major telecomm companies to assist them in establishing automated data mining for mobiles, email, social networks, etc. If you send data to the EU, it’s going to get looked at by a computer, and if it sets off the wrong filter, a human will look at it
1715 2011-05-19 05:41:33 <erbs> too.

1734 2011-05-19 05:56:21 <sacarlson> wow I just thought of another use for bitcoin software to create tickets as they do the same with bitcard so I can sell my services by selling people my cards that have the code they would use to deposit into my service,  again this would use a private chain

1819 2011-05-19 06:57:28 <oneman> im trying to figure out if I am doing something interesting or not
1820 2011-05-19 06:58:48 <oneman> ahh i just figured out im not
1821 2011-05-19 06:58:50 <oneman> atleast yet
1822 2011-05-19 06:59:19 <oneman> I actually got the intel opencl sdk going on ubuntu 11.4 here

1824 2011-05-19 06:59:33 <oneman> so I run poclbm
1825 2011-05-19 06:59:44 <oneman> it gets a bout 3.38mhash
1826 2011-05-19 06:59:50 <oneman> using all cores
1827 2011-05-19 07:00:08 <oneman> but the YAWN part of it all is that its not using the GPU of sandy bridge
1828 2011-05-19 07:00:13 <oneman> its just using SSE
1829 2011-05-19 07:00:31 <oneman> so the sse cpu miners obviosly whip it

1834 2011-05-19 07:01:07 <oneman> which I think might actually be very interesting
1835 2011-05-19 07:01:27 <oneman> because it should very pretty fast -relatively- and very low power usage
1836 2011-05-19 07:01:45 <oneman> and these sandy bridge cpus are going to be in every new computer out there
1837 2011-05-19 07:02:25 <oneman> the intel gfx driver is open source, but I have no conception what trouble it would be to get it to do opencl etc

1868 2011-05-19 07:13:04 <ne0futur> you probably created a new adress without noticing, its too easy ;)
1869 2011-05-19 07:13:21 <ne0futur> theres a menu option with you list of adresses
1870 2011-05-19 07:13:29 <ne0futur> and you choose the current one

1886 2011-05-19 07:16:09 <oneman> is mining software development talk now allowed here?
1887 2011-05-19 07:16:13 <ne0futur> i dont even know what is Sandy bridge  ;)
1888 2011-05-19 07:16:23 <ne0futur> i dunno
1889 2011-05-19 07:16:29 <JoeCoolDesk> Sandy bridge is a new set of Intel CPUs
1890 2011-05-19 07:16:30 <oneman> sandy bridge is the current series of intel cpu's
1891 2011-05-19 07:16:34 <ne0futur> but the topic of the channel is only spaking of trading
1892 2011-05-19 07:16:41 <wumpus> yes development talk is allowed
1893 2011-05-19 07:16:49 <oneman> they have GPU's in them, that are not to shabby

2020 2011-05-19 08:14:41 <sethsethseth> my router guide says i must have a static ip to port forward.  can i still open 8333?
2021 2011-05-19 08:15:02 <lfm> sethsethseth: yes
2022 2011-05-19 08:15:23 <lfm> just you would need to restart bitcoin any time your ip address changes
2023 2011-05-19 08:15:59 <sethsethseth> ahh ok

2026 2011-05-19 08:17:46 <lfm> even with dyndns you would still need to restart your bitcoin any time your ip address changes

2035 2011-05-19 08:20:09 <sethsethseth> what is a downside of having the port open like that

2037 2011-05-19 08:20:19 <metonymous_> if bitcoin has a flaw
2038 2011-05-19 08:20:25 <metonymous_> people could compromise ur system

2048 2011-05-19 08:26:30 <edcba> just check with an online port scanner

2079 2011-05-19 08:36:03 <deroby> hi there... anyone can point me to the windows client help ? I was mostly wondering how (if) I can change the language, but I'm guessing I simply should delete all but the en locale ?
2080 2011-05-19 08:36:04 <lfm> I dont think they are making 58xx or 59xx any more tho
2081 2011-05-19 08:36:10 <sethsethseth> how large does teh bitcoin network have to get to prevent ddos all the nodes
2082 2011-05-19 08:36:22 <lfm> sethsethseth: it cant
2083 2011-05-19 08:36:40 <npouillard> lfm: Yes I've read that too
2084 2011-05-19 08:36:58 <sethsethseth> how is this not a major problem?
2085 2011-05-19 08:37:08 <lfm> but it seems they stall make 57xx
2086 2011-05-19 08:37:25 <lfm> sethsethseth: ddos is a major problem.
2087 2011-05-19 08:37:34 <deroby> apart from that, does 'restarting' the app cause me to 'lose' work ? (it's not taking a lot of cpu, well, nothing in fact... it did a LOT of I/O but after loading about 21020 blocks it's now "silent")
2088 2011-05-19 08:37:34 <edcba> sethsethseth: the problem is all nodes receive everything
2089 2011-05-19 08:37:37 <lfm> not just for bitcoin
2090 2011-05-19 08:37:48 <npouillard> BTW any advises on bad/good card brands for 58XX, 59XX?
2091 2011-05-19 08:37:50 <edcba> so it's not a size problem
2092 2011-05-19 08:38:48 <metonymous_> how much were 5870's going for in the US
2093 2011-05-19 08:38:51 <lfm> deroby: no, restarting the app does not cause you to lose work. stopping the app causes you to lose work, restarting just starts a new block, just like the miner does every 0.00001 seconds or so

2097 2011-05-19 08:39:41 <deroby> @lfm : ah, thx... and what amount of blocks can I expect to 'get' over time ? (my disk isn't quite full yet, but space is at a premium on this laptop =)
2098 2011-05-19 08:40:08 <lfm> deroby: what khash/sec rating do you have?

2106 2011-05-19 08:42:58 <lfm> npouillard: what about em?
2107 2011-05-19 08:43:27 Nesetalis is now known as Nes-asleep
2108 2011-05-19 08:44:07 <metonymous_> oh hell yeah! I just mined two blocks within 20 minutes of each other, gotta love probability :P
2109 2011-05-19 08:44:32 <deroby> @lfm : Hmm, not a clue, where do I find that rating ? I only just started using the client, read the faq and some wikis, but it seems everything is mostly geared towards linux ... (not that I'm complaining about that, it's just that I'm on windows today =)
2110 2011-05-19 08:45:26 <lfm> deroby: ya, linux is good. bitcoin mostly works the same on mswin

2113 2011-05-19 08:45:59 <lfm> Diablo-D3: like you think I could have stopped them?
2114 2011-05-19 08:46:19 <Diablo-D3> but how the fuck do you mint in  abrowser?
2115 2011-05-19 08:46:30 <deroby> I probably should let it run for couple of hours and then see ? BTW : That article got me checking out Bitcoin ... I'm just not sure a browser based client is the most efficient =)

2118 2011-05-19 08:46:43 <metonymous_> what's stopping us yahnking the applet and making competition :(
2119 2011-05-19 08:46:49 <Diablo-D3> and its about 50 times slower than the fastest cpu miner
2120 2011-05-19 08:46:59 <metonymous_> i call it the "long tail
2121 2011-05-19 08:47:02 <Diablo-D3> also is it a java applet?
2122 2011-05-19 08:47:03 <metonymous_> of mining
2123 2011-05-19 08:47:06 <metonymous_> yes
2124 2011-05-19 08:47:10 <Diablo-D3> because I probably can have it taken down as a GPLv3 violation
2125 2011-05-19 08:47:13 <Diablo-D3> and I probably will
2126 2011-05-19 08:47:18 <metonymous_> yay!
2127 2011-05-19 08:47:21 <metonymous_> who are you Diablo-D3
2128 2011-05-19 08:47:21 <lfm> Diablo-D3: only uses one core I think too
2129 2011-05-19 08:47:28 <metonymous_> to wield so much power
2130 2011-05-19 08:47:28 <Diablo-D3> metonymous_: author of DiabloMiner
2131 2011-05-19 08:47:38 <Diablo-D3> the most used gpu miner thats written in java

2135 2011-05-19 08:47:56 <metonymous_> code
2136 2011-05-19 08:48:00 <Diablo-D3> it doesnt mine
2137 2011-05-19 08:48:06 <metonymous_> re-he-heally
2138 2011-05-19 08:48:25 <metonymous_> i can reverse compile the applet
2139 2011-05-19 08:48:30 <metonymous_> done that sorta thing before
2140 2011-05-19 08:48:33 <Diablo-D3> does the applet use opencl?
2141 2011-05-19 08:48:47 <metonymous_> no
2142 2011-05-19 08:48:47 <metonymous_> cpu atm
2143 2011-05-19 08:48:47 <metonymous_> um
2144 2011-05-19 08:48:47 <metonymous_> u mean cpu opencl?
2145 2011-05-19 08:48:49 <metonymous_> i asked him taht in the forum
2146 2011-05-19 08:48:50 <lfm> Diablo-D3: just cpu mining I think
2147 2011-05-19 08:48:53 <metonymous_> u should check the forum
2148 2011-05-19 08:48:59 <molecular> metonymous_, what google applet???
2149 2011-05-19 08:49:13 <molecular> metonymous_, you mean bitcoinj?
2150 2011-05-19 08:49:21 <metonymous_> yeh, i did
2151 2011-05-19 08:49:22 <doublec> someone should do a JS OpenCL miner using Nokia's WebCL plugin
2152 2011-05-19 08:49:31 <metonymous_> molecular: apparently it doesn't mine
2153 2011-05-19 08:49:32 <doublec> http://webcl.nokiaresearch.com/
2154 2011-05-19 08:49:43 <molecular> metonymous_, of course not, it's only wallet and network stuff
2155 2011-05-19 08:49:46 <npouillard> lfm: I would like to know if some of them are to avoid (fans, quality...)
2156 2011-05-19 08:49:59 <Diablo-D3> doublec: not particularly interested
2157 2011-05-19 08:50:01 <Diablo-D3> lfm: oh, then its not mine
2158 2011-05-19 08:50:08 <Diablo-D3> metonymous_: no, you cant run opencl on a cpu
2159 2011-05-19 08:50:13 <molecular> metonymous_, you don't have to reverse engineer anything, though, since it's opensource (apache license)
2160 2011-05-19 08:50:15 <metonymous_> Diablo-D3: wrong
2161 2011-05-19 08:50:20 <metonymous_> u CAN i and i do
2162 2011-05-19 08:50:23 <metonymous_> it's just slow
2163 2011-05-19 08:50:27 <Diablo-D3> well yes, if you want it 20 times slower
2164 2011-05-19 08:50:30 <[Tycho]> Oh...
2165 2011-05-19 08:50:33 <[Tycho]> "how often those difficulty jumps will be, any ideas? It is very unconfortable, and it is getting almost non effective :( Any chance to avoid these jums?"
2166 2011-05-19 08:50:35 <Diablo-D3> and only amd stream sdk offers it on x86
2167 2011-05-19 08:50:36 <Diablo-D3> nvidia doesnt
2168 2011-05-19 08:50:45 <metonymous_> yeh, that's what i'm doing
2169 2011-05-19 08:50:59 <Diablo-D3> also, which apache? aslv2?
2170 2011-05-19 08:51:24 <molecular> [Tycho], who asked that question? some newby from the slashdot/reddit/boingboing hype?
2171 2011-05-19 08:51:30 <lfm> npouillard: I think XFX and visiontek are lesser quality but I am no expert
2172 2011-05-19 08:51:35 <diki> did someone just say boing?
2173 2011-05-19 08:51:43 <metonymous_> boring?

2176 2011-05-19 08:51:57 <[Tycho]> Mining in browser is the future ! :)
2177 2011-05-19 08:52:03 <gjs278> visiontek cards are always more for some reason
2178 2011-05-19 08:52:05 <metonymous_> u could make a client
2179 2011-05-19 08:52:08 <metonymous_> work like omegle
2180 2011-05-19 08:52:11 <metonymous_> connect in the backend

2188 2011-05-19 08:52:34 <metonymous_> emulation?

2202 2011-05-19 08:53:35 <metonymous_> at what level does it emulate?
2203 2011-05-19 08:53:38 <metonymous_> cpu instructions?
2204 2011-05-19 08:53:51 <[Tycho]> metonymous_, x86
2205 2011-05-19 08:54:02 <molecular> lfm, do you also anwser rethoric questions?
2206 2011-05-19 08:54:02 gribble has joined
2207 2011-05-19 08:54:03 <metonymous_> so it could emulate dos and stuff too right?
2208 2011-05-19 08:54:14 <[Tycho]> linux and stuff
2209 2011-05-19 08:54:30 <[Tycho]> It's specifically designed for it, i suppose.
2210 2011-05-19 08:54:37 <[Tycho]> Made my QEMU author.
2211 2011-05-19 08:54:39 <lfm> molecular: sometimes, like right now...

2219 2011-05-19 08:55:51 <lfm> x86 like 286 and 8086?
2220 2011-05-19 08:55:52 <diki> that emulator doesnt work with my browser tho...
2221 2011-05-19 08:56:01 <diki> i tested it a few days ago...
2222 2011-05-19 08:56:04 <diki> no go

2242 2011-05-19 08:59:03 <lfm> Animazing: mostly C with some C++?
2243 2011-05-19 08:59:08 <Animazing> that's why :)
2244 2011-05-19 08:59:10 <doublec> diki: but not the Chrome 12 beta

2246 2011-05-19 08:59:16 <Animazing> I only know higher level languages
2247 2011-05-19 08:59:20 <metonymous_> w00t ! it's emulating!
2248 2011-05-19 08:59:25 <lfm> Animazing: your loss

2256 2011-05-19 09:00:04 <diki> Fail...honestly fail

2263 2011-05-19 09:01:51 <joepie91> afaik there is a known bug in Chrome 11
2264 2011-05-19 09:01:54 <joepie91> which is why it doesn't work
2265 2011-05-19 09:01:56 <lfm> diki: but is it fail of the app or fail of the browser(s)?
2266 2011-05-19 09:02:07 <metonymous_> can u get network connectivity in it?
2267 2011-05-19 09:02:17 <joepie91> oh wait, that was 12
2268 2011-05-19 09:02:18 <diki> Afaik, google chrome hasn't let me down ever
2269 2011-05-19 09:02:31 <joepie91> " It was tested with Firefox 4 and Google Chrome 11 on Linux, Window and Mac (it does not work with Chrome 12 beta. As far as I know, it is a bug in the browser). In any case, a fast Javascript engine is needed to have good performance."
2270 2011-05-19 09:02:31 <diki> it's blazing fast compared to the bloated firefox

2279 2011-05-19 09:05:15 <doublec> diki: except 'bloated firefox' is twice as fast running that emulator as chrome

2283 2011-05-19 09:05:59 <doublec> from that tech page
2284 2011-05-19 09:06:01 <molecular> guys, consider someone is aware that sending tx without fee might take very long, he gets this in client: "This transaction is over the size limit.  You can still send it for a fee of 0.01, which goes to the nodes that process your transaction and helps to support the network.  Do you want to pay the fee?", but there's no way to actually send it without a fee (clicking "no" doesn't send). Is that intentional?
2285 2011-05-19 09:08:15 <molecular> also: setting a low free (0.0001) in options doesn't help this, should it not be possible to send 0.01 BTC with a fee of 0.0001?
2286 2011-05-19 09:09:13 <molecular> this could be very frustrating for people. I know 0.01 BTC is not much for most here... but for some, it is
2287 2011-05-19 09:09:46 <metonymous_> apparently it's to prevent filling up the blockchain with poitnelss transactions, but ur right, 0.01 btc isn't pointless for most users
2288 2011-05-19 09:10:01 <metonymous_> i don't know the logic specifically however
2289 2011-05-19 09:10:09 <lfm> molecular: ya, it is a problem. there does not seem to be a simple way out tho
2290 2011-05-19 09:10:10 <metonymous_> but i think if u did force it to be submitted
2291 2011-05-19 09:10:18 <metonymous_> u'd be ignored by most miiners
2292 2011-05-19 09:10:22 <molecular> why not, just make the suggested fee 0.0001 ?
2293 2011-05-19 09:10:28 <molecular> or 0.001
2294 2011-05-19 09:10:40 <metonymous_> 0.00004096
2295 2011-05-19 09:10:41 <lfm> just use an old version of bitcoin
2296 2011-05-19 09:10:58 <molecular> hahaa, tell that to someone checking out bitcoin
2297 2011-05-19 09:11:15 <molecular> what I did: hack the sources... tell that to a newbie
2298 2011-05-19 09:11:26 <metonymous_> and try and compile the fucker
2299 2011-05-19 09:11:37 <molecular> actually, up to this point, all non-free tx have gone through eventually
2300 2011-05-19 09:11:49 <lfm> molecular: ya, I'll keep that in mind for the next one who asks, prolly within a couple hoursa
2301 2011-05-19 09:12:42 <molecular> I probably shouldn't whine and just make a patch/pull req, but i'm sure there will be objections if I just change the suggested fee to 0.00004096
2302 2011-05-19 09:13:12 <metonymous_> i'll +1 it
2303 2011-05-19 09:13:16 zp has joined

2306 2011-05-19 09:13:26 <molecular> maybe I'll start an issue on githup
2307 2011-05-19 09:13:27 <metonymous_> i'll use your client
2308 2011-05-19 09:13:29 <metonymous_> i'll compile it for u
2309 2011-05-19 09:13:45 <molecular> I can compile no problem, I'm caring about the newbies, I want them to stay
2310 2011-05-19 09:13:50 <zp> Hi, I need to write a php function that would determine whether a transaction between 2 users in a certain block took place. Is there already something like this somewhere?
2311 2011-05-19 09:13:51 <metonymous_> here here
2312 2011-05-19 09:14:01 <lfm> molecular: no need to start a new issue, Im sure its already active in several existing issues
2313 2011-05-19 09:14:05 <metonymous_> block explorer?
2314 2011-05-19 09:14:22 <molecular> zp: try http-requesting http://blockexplorer.com/q/getreceivedbyaddress/<address>
2315 2011-05-19 09:14:42 <molecular> zp: if one of the addresses is in your bitcoin wallet, you can use rpc call. can give you code for that
2316 2011-05-19 09:15:09 <zp> is it php?
2317 2011-05-19 09:15:11 <molecular> zp, sorry, those answers where bullshit
2318 2011-05-19 09:15:24 <lfm> zp and btw, it wont tell you "users", only bitcoin addressses
2319 2011-05-19 09:15:30 <zp> ok
2320 2011-05-19 09:15:33 <molecular> yeah
2321 2011-05-19 09:15:38 <zp> addresses
2322 2011-05-19 09:15:42 <molecular> does it really have to be "in a certain block"?
2323 2011-05-19 09:15:49 <zp> no
2324 2011-05-19 09:16:12 <molecular> so you just want to know "whas there a tx form addr "A" to addr "B" at any time in the past" ?
2325 2011-05-19 09:16:14 <zp> I just want to check whether one address recieved from another certain amount
2326 2011-05-19 09:16:45 <lfm> zp often the "from" address is unpredictable
2327 2011-05-19 09:17:07 blueadept has quit (Quit: Leaving)
2328 2011-05-19 09:17:43 <zp> hmm... somebody who sent it can check the address?
2329 2011-05-19 09:17:51 <zp> (his own)
2330 2011-05-19 09:17:59 <lfm> just the "to" address and the amount should work so long as you use new addresses for each txn
2331 2011-05-19 09:18:13 AnatolV has quit ()
2332 2011-05-19 09:19:13 <molecular> zp, is the recipient address your own?
2333 2011-05-19 09:19:47 <zp> no...
2334 2011-05-19 09:19:58 <lfm> if you tell two people to pay the same amount to the same address and only one pays, you cannot really find out which one really paid.
2335 2011-05-19 09:20:07 <zp> but I know two "to" addresses
2336 2011-05-19 09:20:15 AnatolV has joined
2337 2011-05-19 09:20:50 <zp> can they choose their "from" address if they want?
2338 2011-05-19 09:21:00 <lfm> ya, now
2339 2011-05-19 09:21:11 <lfm> with newer versions of bitcoin
2340 2011-05-19 09:21:20 <zp> which one?
2341 2011-05-19 09:21:42 <zp> 0.3.21?
2342 2011-05-19 09:21:50 <lfm> not sure exactly when that was added
2343 2011-05-19 09:22:03 <zp> but in the last one it work?
2344 2011-05-19 09:22:14 <molecular> lfm, actually, I don't think there's an issue on that. search for "fee" in issues. you'll find the closed one that introduced the problem (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/88), while fixing a more important one, of course, but can you find an open issue where this is discussed?
2345 2011-05-19 09:22:25 <lfm> I have not tested it but it is supposed to work
2346 2011-05-19 09:22:59 <sethsethseth> how can i check how much bandwidth the bitcoin client and the miner use?
2347 2011-05-19 09:23:16 <molecular> zp, well, the info is certainly here: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1HT7jE1h496txKT8wZc29gBspmKKrcLabj, but that's not easily parsable
2348 2011-05-19 09:23:17 <metonymous_> lsof?
2349 2011-05-19 09:23:25 <zp> ?
2350 2011-05-19 09:23:25 <zp> is it possible in the latest version?
2351 2011-05-19 09:23:38 <lfm> sethsethseth: look at the size of blk0001.dat in your configdir and multiply by the number of connections
2352 2011-05-19 09:23:45 <molecular> zp, and I'm not sure you want to rely on blockexplorer
2353 2011-05-19 09:24:38 <lfm> sethsethseth: the miner depends which miner and which pool you are on
2354 2011-05-19 09:24:45 <molecular> zp, if it's "important" to you, I could code a patch that introduced new rpc call "moneyflowfromaddresstoaddress" for some btc ;)
2355 2011-05-19 09:25:03 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: ping
2356 2011-05-19 09:25:25 <lfm> molecular: ask bluematt about that fee issue
2357 2011-05-19 09:25:48 <molecular> BlueMatt, consider someone is aware that sending tx without fee might take very long, he gets this in client: "This transaction is over the size limit.  You can still send it for a fee of 0.01, which goes to the nodes that process your transaction and helps to support the network.  Do you want to pay the fee?", but there's no way to actually send it without a fee (clicking "no" doesn't send). Is that intentional?

2367 2011-05-19 09:27:16 <lfm> eps1: scam or nearly scam

2379 2011-05-19 09:29:04 <BlueMatt> molecular: want to write a patch?
2380 2011-05-19 09:29:13 <Marcel> HSD!~Marcel|HS@router2.hsdev.com|BlueMatt, tried 2.9.0 / 2.9.1 and trunk of today, only trunk worked
2381 2011-05-19 09:29:15 <molecular> BlueMatt, I'm not sure I'm up to that, but I can try

2383 2011-05-19 09:29:31 <molecular> BlueMatt, what's the best solution, though, just lower the suggested fee?
2384 2011-05-19 09:29:39 <metonymous_> make it cancelable!
2385 2011-05-19 09:29:45 <metonymous_> or over-rideable
2386 2011-05-19 09:29:47 <molecular> cacelable it is
2387 2011-05-19 09:29:48 <metonymous_> in the gui
2388 2011-05-19 09:29:51 <molecular> right, overrideable
2389 2011-05-19 09:29:59 <metonymous_> set it to your own number
2390 2011-05-19 09:30:01 <metonymous_> perhaps

2392 2011-05-19 09:30:02 <BlueMatt> Marcel|HSD: alright, if you have a bunch of time tracking down which commit fixed it would be useful
2393 2011-05-19 09:30:04 <metonymous_> default to 0.1
2394 2011-05-19 09:30:05 <metonymous_> or whatever
2395 2011-05-19 09:30:09 <molecular> actually, maybe it should use the fee set in options
2396 2011-05-19 09:30:12 <lfm> molecular: best would be allow an option to send free txn slowly
2397 2011-05-19 09:30:30 <Marcel> HSD!~Marcel|HS@router2.hsdev.com|BlueMatt,  I will set aside some time for it and get back to you
2398 2011-05-19 09:30:34 <molecular> maybe that, and additionally maybe it should use the fee from options
2399 2011-05-19 09:30:45 <metonymous_> it does for other transactions
2400 2011-05-19 09:30:47 <metonymous_> but not those ones
2401 2011-05-19 09:30:50 <metonymous_> sux
2402 2011-05-19 09:30:56 <metonymous_> the deamon doesn't even warn u
2403 2011-05-19 09:31:00 <metonymous_> well.. how would it i geuss
2404 2011-05-19 09:31:04 <BlueMatt> molecular: overrideable, more clear explanation of what fee in options does (its per kb IIRC), custom fee setting...etc
2405 2011-05-19 09:31:21 <BlueMatt> yea daemon needs thought, it shouldnt automatically send
2406 2011-05-19 09:31:29 <BlueMatt> I suppose error then an override parameter?
2407 2011-05-19 09:31:36 <molecular> BlueMatt, "custom fee setting"? in the popup dialog?
2408 2011-05-19 09:31:43 <BlueMatt> molecular: something like that
2409 2011-05-19 09:31:50 <molecular> hmmk
2410 2011-05-19 09:31:52 <metonymous_> i sent two payments, one 0.5 one 0.2, the 0.5 one got lynched 0.1 fee, the 0.2 one got my standard 0.00004096, that's messed up
2411 2011-05-19 09:31:54 <molecular> I'll invest some time
2412 2011-05-19 09:32:06 <BlueMatt> but what the options one does needs rethought IMHO, it is confusing as it almost never gets used (rarely do txes hit 1 KB)
2413 2011-05-19 09:32:09 <metonymous_> no warning , nothing just did it

2513 2011-05-19 10:01:24 <molecular> sipa, so that's should be in my git clone...
2514 2011-05-19 10:01:30 <UukGoblin> that's a 20x decrease in min fee
2515 2011-05-19 10:01:34 <sipa> indeed
2516 2011-05-19 10:01:38 <UukGoblin> awesome

2536 2011-05-19 10:06:14 <UukGoblin> sipa, well for me it is...
2537 2011-05-19 10:06:35 <UukGoblin> nice ideology and all, but primarily - money out of thin air.
2538 2011-05-19 10:06:37 <molecular> sipa, because that's what sticks
2539 2011-05-19 10:07:39 <sipa> well i agree, maybe this browser-based mining thing will cause some gold-fever for some, causing them to really start mining in a profitable way
2540 2011-05-19 10:08:04 <molecular> does this applet use Diablo-D3's code? could it?
2541 2011-05-19 10:08:40 <UukGoblin> what? how? when? why?
2542 2011-05-19 10:08:49 <UukGoblin> no way it could
2543 2011-05-19 10:08:55 <sipa> why not?
2544 2011-05-19 10:08:58 <molecular> why not?
2545 2011-05-19 10:08:59 <sipa> eh whatever
2546 2011-05-19 10:09:04 <sipa> no it's not gpu mining
2547 2011-05-19 10:09:05 <UukGoblin> well
2548 2011-05-19 10:09:14 <molecular> nope, too slow, can't be
2549 2011-05-19 10:09:16 <UukGoblin> it could use some json-rpc or something perhaps
2550 2011-05-19 10:09:24 <UukGoblin> but not the general gpu mining thingy
2551 2011-05-19 10:09:39 <molecular> why couldn't it use Diablo-D3's code in the applet. no access to gpu for an applet?
2552 2011-05-19 10:09:53 <sipa> no
2553 2011-05-19 10:09:58 <sipa> it needs additional libraries
2554 2011-05-19 10:10:12 <molecular> native ones?
2555 2011-05-19 10:10:20 <UukGoblin> native too

2560 2011-05-19 10:10:49 <sipa> zp: bitcoind is its own webserver
2561 2011-05-19 10:10:52 <molecular> zp, no, you need a bitcin or bitcoind that has rpcuser and rpcpassword configured and runs on port 8332
2562 2011-05-19 10:11:17 <molecular> Diablo-D3, sorry, I missed that
2563 2011-05-19 10:11:40 <Diablo-D3> molecular: it doesnt use my code, and I should just take his code to do the applet shit

Just installed bitcoind to see what the fuzz is about, and stumbled across this user at the Wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Special:Contributions/Anstimp -- a new user that has put links in multiple places linking to http://bitcoinregistry.com/ ... that's a scam, right?
2582 2011-05-19 10:16:06 <molecular> sipa, went through my mind when looking at http://wallbase.cc/wallpaper/645549

2755 2011-05-19 11:19:06 <edcba> to improve anon receiver should give 2 addresses

2759 2011-05-19 11:20:37 <sipa> the point is that if you now see a tx with 5.13 input, and a 5.00 output and 0.13 output
2760 2011-05-19 11:20:46 <Kurtov> Um, is 310 a good price for a 5month old 6970? :/
2761 2011-05-19 11:20:58 <edcba> ok i think when you give x you should give x to you too
2762 2011-05-19 11:20:59 <sipa> you're quite sure the 5 is the real output, and the 0.13 is change
2763 2011-05-19 11:21:23 <edcba> ie A sends 1 to B from his 50
2764 2011-05-19 11:21:24 <lfm> 310 what? euro?

2843 2011-05-19 11:32:48 <TD> i don't know, it could be your ISP perhaps. i never had these problems
2844 2011-05-19 11:32:52 <lupine_85> I doubt bitcoind does anything odd with the tcp send window
2845 2011-05-19 11:32:52 <lfm> Keefe: you on linux?
2846 2011-05-19 11:33:03 <Keefe> bitcoind is
2847 2011-05-19 11:33:23 <Keefe> it's on a linux box on my home net, which has a linux gateway
2848 2011-05-19 11:33:30 <lfm> ok could be linux bug I spoze if tcp is spozed to be nicer
2849 2011-05-19 11:34:26 <Keefe> -nolisten... that would mean i'd still connect to the bitcoin net, but i wouldn't get incoming connections from new chain downloaders?
2850 2011-05-19 11:34:38 <lfm> I dunno really, if my videos break up I just kinda put up with it
2851 2011-05-19 11:34:48 <TD> yes
2852 2011-05-19 11:35:09 <lfm> Keefe: or dont forward port at all

2873 2011-05-19 11:59:29 <ersi> I don't think so, unless you see the ISO two letter symbols for greek there
2874 2011-05-19 11:59:52 <Tritonio> thans ersi. no there is no gr translation.
2875 2011-05-19 12:00:11 <Tritonio> so... can I help in making one?
2876 2011-05-19 12:00:12 <ersi> then take the bitcoin.po from one of those folders and translate the strings to Greek :)
2877 2011-05-19 12:00:15 <ersi> sure
2878 2011-05-19 12:00:36 <Tritonio> yes but I guess I need an english bitcoin.po. :-)
2879 2011-05-19 12:01:40 <ersi> no, just take any of them

2884 2011-05-19 12:03:05 <ersi> yeah
2885 2011-05-19 12:03:59 <Tritonio> What about the main site and the wiki pages? I though there were some translations for those too on the front page but I don't see them anymore.

2890 2011-05-19 12:06:23 <ersi> ;)
2891 2011-05-19 12:07:32 <metonymous_> i have a proposition, that the "rpc" naming convention should be more "restful", i should type "transactions" to get transactions, "accounts" to get accounts, "addressess" to get addresses, "info", for info, all "gets" should be just the resource. likewise, if you call 'txfee' if should return the txfee, if you call "txfee 0.0004096" it should set the transaction fee. change "generate" to "generating".
2892 2011-05-19 12:08:13 <metonymous_> typing 'transaction xxxxxxxxxxxxxx' would display just taht transaction
2893 2011-05-19 12:08:17 <metonymous_> note the singular
2894 2011-05-19 12:08:23 <metonymous_> same with account

2899 2011-05-19 12:10:01 <metonymous_> could they exist side by side?
2900 2011-05-19 12:10:03 <sipa> the names aren't very consistent always
2901 2011-05-19 12:10:12 <metonymous_> that's my grudge, i guess
2902 2011-05-19 12:10:13 <sipa> but a lot of sites depend on it
2903 2011-05-19 12:10:20 <metonymous_> u could keep the old ones
2904 2011-05-19 12:10:26 <metonymous_> for lots of versions
2905 2011-05-19 12:10:30 <metonymous_> slowly deprecate them

2910 2011-05-19 12:11:59 <metonymous_> would it likely get pulled?

3039 2011-05-19 13:26:18 <sipa> so are computers
3040 2011-05-19 13:26:23 <Tritonio> ok luke-jr define "need"

3074 2011-05-19 13:37:35 <Tritonio> I did a diff between the es.po file in my bitcoin directory and the one I found on the github link ersi gave me... They are pretty different. So what happens if I translate an older version? Can gettext handle it?
3075 2011-05-19 13:38:03 <ersi> the one on the link that I gave you should be the most recent I think
3076 2011-05-19 13:39:21 <Tritonio> it's smaller though. but yes you are right... the headers are 2011 while the other one is 2010... I'll continue translating that one then. :-)
3077 2011-05-19 13:39:31 <BlueMatt[mobile]> ersi: did you get it from my repo or did you poedit it yourself?
3078 2011-05-19 13:40:07 <BlueMatt[mobile]> or wait no the current github got my update isn't it
3079 2011-05-19 13:40:32 <Tritonio> (if I translate it will it be useless if it's a wrong version?)
3080 2011-05-19 13:40:43 <BlueMatt[mobile]> Tritonio: try checking the latest one from github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
3081 2011-05-19 13:40:51 <BlueMatt[mobile]> prett much
3082 2011-05-19 13:40:59 <ersi> It's not useless even if it's not up to date
3083 2011-05-19 13:41:06 <ersi> a lot of the strings will match up just fine
3084 2011-05-19 13:41:19 <BlueMatt[mobile]> well you will waste time translating strings that were removed
3085 2011-05-19 13:41:24 <BlueMatt[mobile]> and miss a bunch
3086 2011-05-19 13:41:55 <BlueMatt[mobile]> just get latest de/es/lt from github, those are all up to date
3087 2011-05-19 13:41:58 <ersi> True, heh.
3088 2011-05-19 13:42:14 <x5x`brb> have any remote code exec vulns been foudn in previous versions of the official bitcoin client ?
3089 2011-05-19 13:42:17 <ersi> Wonder if the 'Generated' and 'Generate coins' strings are gone now :p
3090 2011-05-19 13:42:27 x5x`brb is now known as x5x
3091 2011-05-19 13:43:07 <BlueMatt[mobile]> x5x: not afaik though there was one issue with coin values overflowing
3092 2011-05-19 13:43:20 <BlueMatt[mobile]> but that never gets outside of allocated memory
3093 2011-05-19 13:43:22 <sipa> ersi: yes
3094 2011-05-19 13:43:29 <x5x> just wondering if that is on people's radar at all
3095 2011-05-19 13:43:43 <sipa> ersi: well, generated not, since you can still use getwork-based miners
3096 2011-05-19 13:44:01 <ersi> Ah, heh.
3097 2011-05-19 13:44:08 <BlueMatt[mobile]> sipa: have you checked de/lt/es?
3098 2011-05-19 13:44:22 <sipa> BlueMatt[mobile]: no?
3099 2011-05-19 13:44:25 <BlueMatt[mobile]> I'm not 100%sure one wasn't missed
3100 2011-05-19 13:44:37 <BlueMatt[mobile]> plus the cli stuff
3101 2011-05-19 13:44:46 <BlueMatt[mobile]> which also gets translated

3103 2011-05-19 13:45:37 <BlueMatt[mobile]> x5x: yea, of course it's of interest, but so far no one has found any and many people have looked at various portions of the code
3104 2011-05-19 13:45:56 <BlueMatt[mobile]> esp handling of data off the wire
3105 2011-05-19 13:46:12 <x5x> yea i mean has anyone ever argued the official client should be a java based one or something ?
3106 2011-05-19 13:47:07 <BlueMatt[mobile]> diablo yes, everyone else no
3107 2011-05-19 13:47:09 <Tritonio> no java. i beg you
3108 2011-05-19 13:47:26 <BlueMatt[mobile]> (diablo is in love with java(
3109 2011-05-19 13:47:52 <Tritonio> It's hungry for RAM... I hate that lang.
3110 2011-05-19 13:47:58 <x5x> i mean java does pretty much mitigate the issue of remote code exec vulns right?
3111 2011-05-19 13:48:01 <Tritonio> Plus it's ugly...
3112 2011-05-19 13:48:07 <x5x> unless u do something ridiculously stupid
3113 2011-05-19 13:48:12 <BlueMatt[mobile]> plus there is bitcoinj, but that's more geared towards mobiles or other low resource clients
3114 2011-05-19 13:48:15 <Tritonio> Why not python? Or Lua?
3115 2011-05-19 13:48:24 <EvanR-work> bitcoinj is a thin client?
3116 2011-05-19 13:48:27 <x5x> Tritonio, those are fine too
3117 2011-05-19 13:48:34 sgornick has joined
3118 2011-05-19 13:48:46 <x5x> although I would think java is probably more thoroughly tested in terms of those type of vulnerabilies
3119 2011-05-19 13:48:49 <doublec> there are partially complete clients written in python
3120 2011-05-19 13:48:52 <sipa> Tritonio: because the original author choose to write it in C++, and implementing a full client is a huge work :)
3121 2011-05-19 13:49:06 <BlueMatt[mobile]> EvanR-work: yea it doesn't store blockchain
3122 2011-05-19 13:50:04 <EvanR-work> cool
3123 2011-05-19 13:50:19 <EvanR-work> so many articles on bitcoin complain about the block chain being huge to download
3124 2011-05-19 13:50:31 <EvanR-work> among other wrong problems
3125 2011-05-19 13:50:32 <Diablo-D3> hrm
3126 2011-05-19 13:50:35 <Diablo-D3> I find this interesting
3127 2011-05-19 13:50:41 <Diablo-D3> turning compositing on slows down mining
3128 2011-05-19 13:50:43 <BlueMatt[mobile]> yea Gavin is working on that for main client

3132 2011-05-19 13:53:38 <x5x> so does the thin client act exactly the same to the end user?
3133 2011-05-19 13:54:32 <BlueMatt[mobile]> pretty much, just way less resource usage
3134 2011-05-19 13:54:52 <BlueMatt[mobile]> but no mining

3234 2011-05-19 15:37:59 <sacarlson> how does this line determine what port it's going to set for this address:  CAddress addr(strAddr, fAllowDNS); ?
3235 2011-05-19 15:38:00 <erbs> they said i didn't have restaurant experience
3236 2011-05-19 15:38:37 <erbs> im thinking.. is mcdonalds really a restaurant. its eems more like a biological weapons laboratory
3237 2011-05-19 15:39:20 <sacarlson> this line  CAddress addr(strAddr, fAllowDNS); seems it doesn't get the port address from -port option in config
3238 2011-05-19 15:39:27 <erbs> given the high level of unemployment (20%-30% of workers underemployed) they can afford to hire chefs with 8 years restaurant experience
3239 2011-05-19 15:39:44 <erbs> the mcdonaldization of the economy is fucked

3243 2011-05-19 15:40:55 <diki> however the burgers are very small....
3244 2011-05-19 15:41:11 <diki> although i did buy the "kid" burger...back in 2004
3245 2011-05-19 15:41:31 <diki> by the kid burger i mean it was for children etc

3248 2011-05-19 15:42:11 <diki> it's the appeal of expensive

3255 2011-05-19 15:43:48 <directhex> the appeal of fast food is convenience and homogeneity

3264 2011-05-19 15:44:49 <JFK911> linkedin's ipo was a huge success
3265 2011-05-19 15:45:00 <sipa> what's ipo?
3266 2011-05-19 15:45:01 <diki> It's this http://www.plovdivmedia.com/i/5453-1.jpg
3267 2011-05-19 15:45:03 <JFK911> for some investors anyway
3268 2011-05-19 15:45:10 <diki> but without the onions and tomatoes
3269 2011-05-19 15:45:24 <diki> chicken meat and very special sauce they use
3270 2011-05-19 15:45:28 <JFK911> diki: oh, yes probably there is better and less costly food where you live
3271 2011-05-19 15:45:42 <JFK911> sipa: ipo is when a company offers stock on the stock market the first time
3272 2011-05-19 15:46:18 <JFK911> diki that looks tasty
3273 2011-05-19 15:46:21 <JFK911> did you get it from turks
3274 2011-05-19 15:46:23 <erbs> well morgan stanley definitely screwed them.. they underpriced the ipo.. so linkedin only raised $45 per share, but on the first second of trading it went to $80+.. so morgan stanley and their institutional clients bought cheap and sold the next morning for around double
3275 2011-05-19 15:46:44 <diki> the shops are held by someone
3276 2011-05-19 15:46:52 <JFK911> erbs: maybe folks should wait a month to see where the price stabilizes
3277 2011-05-19 15:46:57 <diki> but otherwise, no
3278 2011-05-19 15:47:20 <erbs> "The value of LinkedIn-the-company, it seems safe to say, has not appreciated by 90%+ in the past 12 hours.  And that means that, on its underwriters' advice, LinkedIn sold its stock way too cheaply"
3279 2011-05-19 15:47:25 <diki> It's actually very good...i only wish it was made under more cleaner circumstances
3280 2011-05-19 15:47:45 <JFK911> also erbs they had a deal to sell the shares at that price
3281 2011-05-19 15:48:04 <JFK911> they didnt put ALL shares on the market
3282 2011-05-19 15:48:16 <JFK911> so they can float more

3284 2011-05-19 15:49:10 <erbs> the underwriter is supposed to accurately price the ipo.. they lowballed linkedin (how can they do that? there are only a handful of banks that can carry out an ipo of this size realistically and they collude on prices)
3285 2011-05-19 15:49:26 <erbs> the middle man held linkedin hostage
3286 2011-05-19 15:49:35 <jrmithdobbs> did linkedin really jump that far on first day?
3287 2011-05-19 15:49:49 <jrmithdobbs> because kickin myself for not getting that job 3 months ago now, lol
3288 2011-05-19 15:49:51 <erbs> yeah.. morgan stanley probably made $1 bn on the deal
3289 2011-05-19 15:49:57 <erbs> jrmithdobbs: hehe
3290 2011-05-19 15:50:16 <jrmithdobbs> could have actually got options that weren't toilet paper for once!

3292 2011-05-19 15:50:51 <JFK911> how can you predict what the market will do?
3293 2011-05-19 15:51:16 <jrmithdobbs> my crystal ball, obviously
3294 2011-05-19 15:52:32 <erbs> JFK911: the IPO scam plays out the same way usually.. the underwriters / few institutional investors froth up the price when the ipo is released - they trade between themselves at high prices to set the price.. then a lot of sheeple buy into the craze.. and a few days or weeks later the price shrinks back down again

3318 2011-05-19 16:02:29 <diki> insert into shares (time,rem_host, username, our_result, upstream_result, reason, solution). Let's take the time columns...i usually use the unix time() in seconds and from then off convert the seconds in proper date format
3319 2011-05-19 16:02:45 <diki> however i don't know how pushpool stores them
3320 2011-05-19 16:03:08 <erbs> yeah.. id assume sqlite has a datetime

3322 2011-05-19 16:03:58 <diki> if it's the unix time i'd store it as an intege

3342 2011-05-19 16:08:50 <diki> so even if i set varchar(120) as username..it could be overwritten to be more than 120 characters?
3343 2011-05-19 16:08:58 <phantomcircuit> yes
3344 2011-05-19 16:09:01 <diki> and wont be truncated?

3350 2011-05-19 16:10:31 <erbs> so you store the unix time

3358 2011-05-19 16:12:36 <diki> it skips directly to other columns
3359 2011-05-19 16:12:52 <diki> unless time is an unique column
3360 2011-05-19 16:12:53 <erbs> can you paste the insert stmt

3362 2011-05-19 16:13:26 <erbs> the time is probably setup to default to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
3363 2011-05-19 16:13:48 <diki> so i'll have to define it when creating the table?
3364 2011-05-19 16:14:07 <diki> srv.db_ops->sharelog(rem_host, username, our_result...
3365 2011-05-19 16:14:12 <erbs> it would be automatically the current time at insertion

3367 2011-05-19 16:14:16 <diki> it directly starts with rem_host...time is not present
3368 2011-05-19 16:14:54 <erbs> you should see sqlite3_bind_int before the insert is executed
3369 2011-05-19 16:17:27 <diki> yes i see sqlite3_bind_int64
3370 2011-05-19 16:17:29 <erbs> bind like wine
3371 2011-05-19 16:17:34 <erbs> ok
3372 2011-05-19 16:17:41 <diki> however what does the 64 bit mean?
3373 2011-05-19 16:17:45 <erbs> thats the time
3374 2011-05-19 16:18:03 <diki> shouldnt just int suffice?
3375 2011-05-19 16:18:32 <erbs> it should.. but on 64-bit hardware time_t is a signed int (64 bit)

3381 2011-05-19 16:20:00 <erbs> sqlite will jigle it around and do 64 bit comparisons

3423 2011-05-19 16:30:13 <jrmithdobbs> Diablo-D3: i don't know after this last diff bump but it was "marginally" profitable last diff like, very slightly so
3424 2011-05-19 16:30:25 <Diablo-D3> jrmithdobbs: its dumb
3425 2011-05-19 16:30:26 <jrmithdobbs> still not worth it
3426 2011-05-19 16:30:41 <Diablo-D3> my 5850 does 300 mhash, the fastest cpu does like 25
3427 2011-05-19 16:30:43 <lianj> Diablo-D3: i know about cpumining. its for someone else. ok so mr.deepbit please drop that info from you site :D
3428 2011-05-19 16:30:51 <jrmithdobbs> Diablo-D3: right
3429 2011-05-19 16:31:04 <Diablo-D3> lianj: thats [Tycho]

3440 2011-05-19 16:35:22 <sipa> and where did you get the image?
3441 2011-05-19 16:35:25 <BlueMatt> well Ive got a spinning cursor
3442 2011-05-19 16:35:29 <jrmithdobbs> jgarzik: autotools hates me (it's mutual) got any quick tips for adding a new db type to pushpool?
3443 2011-05-19 16:35:45 <BlueMatt> might need to add something to get it to think it has apple's smc thingy...
3444 2011-05-19 16:35:55 <phantomcircuit> erbs, that's before you account for power costs
3445 2011-05-19 16:35:56 <UukGoblin> hrm, this is actually kinda 'meh'
3446 2011-05-19 16:35:58 <sipa> BlueMatt: running the installer, or what?
3447 2011-05-19 16:35:59 <vorlov> are there problems installing the latest ATi driversin ubuntu natty
3448 2011-05-19 16:36:00 <vorlov> ?

3450 2011-05-19 16:36:01 <BlueMatt> the image definitely wasnt from tpb or anything else illegal
3451 2011-05-19 16:36:04 <phantomcircuit> erbs, that would be like a 100W cpu

3457 2011-05-19 16:37:00 <BlueMatt> hm, nope it needs a different boot iso to get it to think it has the smc mod thinggy...
3458 2011-05-19 16:37:07 <BlueMatt> still not very hard to get it working

3464 2011-05-19 16:41:13 <BlueMatt> I have an old patcher for vmware, that patches any vmware install and just lets you install unmodified osx on it, but vmware never updates their crap for new kernels so Im looking into virtualbox

3570 2011-05-19 17:19:39 <phantomcircuit> erbs, i talked to some people who work at linkedin, apparently they're revenues have been basically constant a long time now
3571 2011-05-19 17:20:04 <Dek> nah wouldnt need 50% with the pools. All you'd hav to do is knock off enough pools with a DDOS attack that your remaining hashing power was 50% of the total WITHOUT them
3572 2011-05-19 17:20:15 <Dek> much less than 50%
3573 2011-05-19 17:20:33 Tritonio has quit (Quit: Leaving)
3574 2011-05-19 17:20:33 <Dek> not to mention deepbit has already hit 50% so bitcoin is entirely operated on the TRUST of deepbit
3575 2011-05-19 17:20:38 <Dek> when that happens
3576 2011-05-19 17:20:56 <phantomcircuit> Dek, im 90% sure that the nsa could simply crash everybodies bitcoind right now
3577 2011-05-19 17:21:09 <Dek> sure but i am saying it isnt necessary to have 50% hash power
3578 2011-05-19 17:21:12 <Dek> to inject double spends

3581 2011-05-19 17:22:13 <therap1st> Dek: leave deepbit for good
3582 2011-05-19 17:22:22 <therap1st> its good miners are usually familiar with the protocol
3583 2011-05-19 17:22:23 <Dek> ya right, like they did last time? most people on the forum said "so what i dont care" when deepbit hit 50%
3584 2011-05-19 17:22:50 <therap1st> i meant leave when tycho would do something nefarious
3585 2011-05-19 17:22:50 <Dek> next time will be the same people wont care wont think it matters until its too late and something does something significant
3586 2011-05-19 17:23:02 <erbs> most ppl dont mind bne irradiated by naked body scanners at airports...
3587 2011-05-19 17:23:02 <therap1st> what do you mean too late?
3588 2011-05-19 17:23:11 <Dek> as in a ton of double spends already occur
3589 2011-05-19 17:23:16 <Dek> and people slowly catch on
3590 2011-05-19 17:23:23 <erbs> well i suppose they mind, but they are unwilling to take action
3591 2011-05-19 17:23:40 <therap1st> Dek: blockchain is valid only without double spends

3593 2011-05-19 17:24:19 <Dek> I honestly dont know that much about it technically. But can you reorganize block chain to reassign ownership by removing selective transfers (assuming 50% hash control)
3594 2011-05-19 17:24:31 <therap1st> Dek: you need to be nefarious all the time
3595 2011-05-19 17:24:37 <therap1st> for the blockchain to remain valid
3596 2011-05-19 17:24:40 <therap1st> its not stop-n-go
3597 2011-05-19 17:24:49 <therap1st> note that broken block occured in august
3598 2011-05-19 17:24:56 <therap1st> it was fixed within week
3599 2011-05-19 17:25:05 <lfm> dek can be very selective, you have to reorg a whole branch of the chain
3600 2011-05-19 17:25:19 <lfm> cant be selective I mean
3601 2011-05-19 17:25:23 <erbs> im chained down to a block
3602 2011-05-19 17:25:30 <Dek> lol
3603 2011-05-19 17:25:54 <Dek> Well, I hope it never happens. There needs to be publicly available pool kits so people spread out the hashing power more
3604 2011-05-19 17:25:56 <therap1st> Dek: people will leave deepbit and fork the blockchain with correct txes. period.
3605 2011-05-19 17:26:00 <lfm> therap1st: it was fixed within hours
3606 2011-05-19 17:26:10 <therap1st> lfm: well i meant full recovery
3607 2011-05-19 17:26:17 <lfm> full recovery
3608 2011-05-19 17:26:32 <therap1st> txes didnt fully verify for much longer afaik
3609 2011-05-19 17:26:50 <lfm> the net was fixed and running normally on a legal chain within hours
3610 2011-05-19 17:26:53 <therap1st> people had to redownload blockchain etc
3611 2011-05-19 17:27:05 <Dek> So even if a ton of peers are corrupted by a faulty blockchain generated by a nefarious actor it would be possible to somehow fix that?
3612 2011-05-19 17:27:15 <therap1st> lfm: "the net was fixed" meant people need to update their clients in case of client bug
3613 2011-05-19 17:27:17 <Dek> how could you overwhelm all those peers saying it was correct
3614 2011-05-19 17:27:25 <lfm> the bad txn hung about trying to reinfect for a while but they were ignored after that
3615 2011-05-19 17:27:37 <therap1st> yep
3616 2011-05-19 17:27:38 <Dek> hm well good to know
3617 2011-05-19 17:27:46 <therap1st> but that was client bug
3618 2011-05-19 17:27:47 <BlueMatt> sipa: in case you were interested, got it working really easily via a bootloader
3619 2011-05-19 17:27:53 <therap1st> which was much more dangerous
3620 2011-05-19 17:28:10 <therap1st> Dek: actually client bugs is what you need to worry about
3621 2011-05-19 17:28:15 <therap1st> because if someone did just something subtle
3622 2011-05-19 17:28:29 <therap1st> and it would be deep in the chain, it would be really shit situation
3623 2011-05-19 17:28:38 <Dek> good point the client annoys the shit out of me with required transfer fees
3624 2011-05-19 17:28:47 <Dek> but thats another issue =P

3626 2011-05-19 17:29:49 <lfm> dek that is essentially a bug also. just use older version
3627 2011-05-19 17:29:51 <therap1st> i still hope the tx spam issue will be resolved somehow
3628 2011-05-19 17:30:03 <therap1st> other than tx fees
3629 2011-05-19 17:30:19 <therap1st> fees were meant to give priority, not as workaround.

3631 2011-05-19 17:30:30 <erbs> tx spam?
3632 2011-05-19 17:30:30 <Dek> as priority they are a good concept
3633 2011-05-19 17:30:51 <luke-jr> therap1st: fees were always inevitable
3634 2011-05-19 17:30:57 <therap1st> sure
3635 2011-05-19 17:31:04 <Dek> Wouldnt the spam issue be moot if they integrated the merkle tree pruning of the block chain?
3636 2011-05-19 17:31:11 <luke-jr> Dek: no
3637 2011-05-19 17:31:11 <erbs> if you detect transaction spam you can just prune the offending bitcoin address at the root and "reclaim" the bitcoins
3638 2011-05-19 17:31:11 <therap1st> however now people are under suspicion that miners inject zero fee tx spam
3639 2011-05-19 17:31:12 <lfm> erbs: ya, people find out txn are free so they think it would be fun to send 1000s of txn to themselves
3640 2011-05-19 17:31:12 <Dek> so that it didnt grow without limit
3641 2011-05-19 17:31:16 <therap1st> so they can make more per block
3642 2011-05-19 17:31:17 <therap1st> :)
3643 2011-05-19 17:31:32 <therap1st> that needs to be fixed
3644 2011-05-19 17:31:38 <luke-jr> Dek: pruning only cleans up legit txns
3645 2011-05-19 17:31:42 <Dek> Who cares how many they send if the blockchain was pruned?
3646 2011-05-19 17:31:44 <erbs> oh, how do they make more by publishing spam tx?
3647 2011-05-19 17:31:50 <Dek> and only the last relative one exists in block chain?
3648 2011-05-19 17:31:58 <therap1st> erbs: forcing you to use fees.
3649 2011-05-19 17:32:03 <therap1st> for legit txes

3655 2011-05-19 17:32:32 <luke-jr> I just require a miniscule fee for txns.
3656 2011-05-19 17:32:43 <lfm> not simple
3657 2011-05-19 17:32:46 <luke-jr> blocks the spam, and encourages people to pay fees
3658 2011-05-19 17:32:55 <therap1st> luke-jr: so?
3659 2011-05-19 17:32:58 <Dek> the problem is the fluctuating value of bitcoin -- who can say whether 0.1 will be a shitton or nothing at all in 1 year?
3660 2011-05-19 17:32:58 <therap1st> luke-jr: it's a race

3666 2011-05-19 17:33:40 <luke-jr> therap1st: it works for me at least :p
3667 2011-05-19 17:33:51 <therap1st> and zero fee txes dont work at all
3668 2011-05-19 17:33:55 <luke-jr> UukGoblin: right, but it should prove I have no motive to tx spam ;p
3669 2011-05-19 17:33:56 <therap1st> which sucks i i want to just send 0.01
3670 2011-05-19 17:34:01 <edcba> fee isn't a good tool to fight tx spam
3671 2011-05-19 17:34:02 <lfm> luke-jr: you still need to accept blocks with spam in them

3703 2011-05-19 17:36:32 <therap1st> btw - solution to tx spam is actually not limiting the block size
3704 2011-05-19 17:36:48 <lfm> miners luke-jr use /mgs gribble perhaps?
3705 2011-05-19 17:36:49 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, simply require a tiny tx fee
3706 2011-05-19 17:36:51 <phantomcircuit> magic
3707 2011-05-19 17:37:00 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: see above, it's a race.
3708 2011-05-19 17:37:10 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, a race?
3709 2011-05-19 17:37:12 <x5x> therap1st, race to waht ?
3710 2011-05-19 17:37:19 <luke-jr> therap1st: if nobody accepts no-fee txns, then there's no spam
3711 2011-05-19 17:37:33 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: if you spend 0.1BTC on spam and make 10BTC in tx fees
3712 2011-05-19 17:37:35 <Pilate> is there any documentation available on whats required to write a miner? or is it mostly based on looking through the source of other miners?
3713 2011-05-19 17:37:41 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: then your solution does not work
3714 2011-05-19 17:37:55 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, you mean a spammer who is also mining?
3715 2011-05-19 17:38:00 <wumpus> Pilate:  you can read on how sha256 works 
3716 2011-05-19 17:38:03 <Dek> mookman: all i meant by that is that they wont hoard forever. Right now, yes, its leading to steeper prices. but at some point more and more will feel comfortable dumping their holdings massively increasing the total currency supply in circulation (w/o a relative increase in demand from people buying stuff with bitcoins since no one but the hoarders has any to spend)
3717 2011-05-19 17:38:05 <therap1st> who do you think is spamming, lol
3718 2011-05-19 17:38:10 <lfm> luke-jr: spam could use miniscule fees if they are too low they would allow spam, you just dont see it yet
3719 2011-05-19 17:38:17 <x5x> therap1st, isnt tehre also the cost of teh mining itself ?
3720 2011-05-19 17:38:31 <therap1st> x5x: huh, they get always their 50BTC
3721 2011-05-19 17:38:35 <erbs> spamalamadingdong
3722 2011-05-19 17:38:37 <therap1st> but you can make much more in fees
3723 2011-05-19 17:38:40 <therap1st> just spam the network
3724 2011-05-19 17:38:40 <therap1st> :))
3725 2011-05-19 17:38:45 <Mookman288> Dek: A certain amount of people will always hoard. I was just commenting that so long as people continue to hoard in ever increasing numbers of BTC, so will the price rise.

3732 2011-05-19 17:39:07 <Dek> but you would agree there is a breaking point where even hoarders will cash out right?

3734 2011-05-19 17:39:19 <Dek> aka "the top of the bubble" ?
3735 2011-05-19 17:39:28 <lfm> luke so they are limited to a million txn for 1 btc?
3736 2011-05-19 17:39:52 <luke-jr> lfm: depends on the fee
3737 2011-05-19 17:39:54 <Mookman288> There is no solidified breaking point where hoarders will cash out. Certain people will cash out when it's most convenient. Others will cash out when they believe it's profitable.
3738 2011-05-19 17:39:58 <lfm> yup
3739 2011-05-19 17:40:09 <x5x> therap1st, would teh spam txs have any fees on them ?
3740 2011-05-19 17:40:11 <Mookman288> I'm sure someone cashed out when it hit $8, because they thought that was fantastic.

3744 2011-05-19 17:40:27 <wumpus> Pilate:  it's just a matter of a jsonrpc interface to request work, and one to send back the proof of work
3745 2011-05-19 17:40:31 <therap1st> x5x: you need to run stats on previous history to make it profitable

3747 2011-05-19 17:40:35 <lfm> x5x the current ones dont
3748 2011-05-19 17:40:42 <wumpus> Pilate: but yeah the best is to look at a miner, it's very simple
3749 2011-05-19 17:40:44 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, there is no race, transaction fees come out of the btc being moved

3753 2011-05-19 17:40:53 <Dek> the only people that matter are the people like knightmb who have 371k bitcoins
3754 2011-05-19 17:41:00 <Dek> massive percentage of the entire supply
3755 2011-05-19 17:41:10 <erbs> wow
3756 2011-05-19 17:41:10 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, transaction fees are not generated btc, they come directly from whoever is doing the transaction
3757 2011-05-19 17:41:12 <erbs> whos that
3758 2011-05-19 17:41:25 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: exactly. so you tap fees of regular people
3759 2011-05-19 17:41:26 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, you seem to believe that transaction spam makes more money for miners, it does not
3760 2011-05-19 17:41:32 <Dek> look on the forum he was bragging yesterday about his wealth. He apparently tricked investors into selling him the btc for 5k
3761 2011-05-19 17:41:33 <Dek> $
3762 2011-05-19 17:41:45 <erbs> interesting
3763 2011-05-19 17:41:45 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: stating so, or did you actually try to spam?
3764 2011-05-19 17:41:49 <erbs> how on earth
3765 2011-05-19 17:41:58 <erbs> dek, forum link ? :)
3766 2011-05-19 17:42:03 <Dek> he invested 12k early 2010, one sec ill get you the link
3767 2011-05-19 17:42:08 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, that last sentence doesn't make any sense
3768 2011-05-19 17:42:20 <erbs> oh he bought it back in the day
3769 2011-05-19 17:42:21 <Dek> http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6825.0;all
3770 2011-05-19 17:42:27 <Dek> he just bought it this week
3771 2011-05-19 17:42:28 <phantomcircuit> Dek, that's a huge investment which at the time was massively risky
3772 2011-05-19 17:42:34 <wumpus> Dek: I wish people like himwere mere involved in financing the development of the client / services using bitcoin
3773 2011-05-19 17:42:34 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: just saying so does not work. read arguments and prove it wrong. :(
3774 2011-05-19 17:42:42 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: otherwise it seems youre just butthurt
3775 2011-05-19 17:42:46 <Dek> yeah but it supports my argument that there are a few hoarders who may have undue power over the market
3776 2011-05-19 17:42:55 <lfm> phantomcircuit: how do you mean fees dont  make money for miners?
3777 2011-05-19 17:42:56 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, facepalm
3778 2011-05-19 17:42:57 <x5x> therap1st, you're saying that by spamming txs w no or tiny fees on them, it requires regular users to add fees to their txs... and then if you mine taht block, u get all the fees
3779 2011-05-19 17:43:03 <x5x> so basiclaly ur driving up the fee price for normal suers ?
3780 2011-05-19 17:43:07 <phantomcircuit> lfm, i mean it's not generated,
3781 2011-05-19 17:43:12 <therap1st> x5x: exactly.
3782 2011-05-19 17:43:15 <therap1st> x5x: its a spam market
3783 2011-05-19 17:43:19 <lfm> so, the miners get it!
3784 2011-05-19 17:43:21 <x5x> yea thats intersting
3785 2011-05-19 17:43:32 <Mookman288> Dek: Sell large mass of bitcoins at high prices. Buy them back when prices drop because of increase in circulation.
3786 2011-05-19 17:43:45 <therap1st> x5x: run stats over tx volume first before you try that :)
3787 2011-05-19 17:43:56 <x5x> im not gonna try it, jsut trying to think if it could be profitable
3788 2011-05-19 17:44:06 <Dek> yeah thanks for the advice but id never buy bitcoins with real money b/c of this situation -- any time someone like him could walk in (ignoring market fundamentals) and half the price of btc in a day
3789 2011-05-19 17:44:11 <Dek> he probably wouldnt want to but he could
3790 2011-05-19 17:44:29 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, oh i see what you're saying, yeah sorry that's a valid point, but your math is off
3791 2011-05-19 17:44:31 <erbs> knightmb sold most of his btc im sure
3792 2011-05-19 17:44:39 <x5x> if you can do it w/ 0-fee txs theres not really any cost right ?
3793 2011-05-19 17:44:40 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, i'll run the numbers for you one sec
3794 2011-05-19 17:44:51 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: it gets really interesting in presence of pools.
3795 2011-05-19 17:44:52 <x5x> its just a way to driveup the min fee for legit transactions
3796 2011-05-19 17:45:01 <erbs> his absence from the forum marks a transition in his life from guy who sits on the internet all day to guy who drives around in a lamboirghininbanging bitches and doing coke in his mansion
3797 2011-05-19 17:45:08 <wumpus> Dek: only buy bitcoins with 'real money' when you want to immediately spend them
3798 2011-05-19 17:45:10 <Dek> lol
3799 2011-05-19 17:45:12 <Dek> so true erbs
3800 2011-05-19 17:45:13 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: that would also mean something nefarious in case of huge pool hashing power.
3801 2011-05-19 17:45:14 <Mookman288> That's the point, if you have the power to lower purchasing power of the BTC, you can double your BTC worth easily.
3802 2011-05-19 17:45:16 <wumpus> Dek: not as investment
3803 2011-05-19 17:45:17 <Dek> good advice wumpus
3804 2011-05-19 17:45:29 <luke-jr> hmm
3805 2011-05-19 17:45:49 <Namegduf> Technically
3806 2011-05-19 17:46:12 <Namegduf> There's no difference in value between keeping BTC you have as BTC and getting more BTC.
3807 2011-05-19 17:46:33 <Namegduf> In both cases you're exchanging about the same amount of money for about the same amount of BTC by the decision.
3808 2011-05-19 17:46:47 <Namegduf> It's just easier to rationalise gambling when you're already doing it. :P
3809 2011-05-19 17:46:50 <wumpus> well the complaint is that it's very risky to hold BTC at the moment
3810 2011-05-19 17:46:53 <wumpus> which makes sense
3811 2011-05-19 17:47:03 * Namegduf is going to keep his 55

3813 2011-05-19 17:47:17 <Namegduf> $350 isn't so awesome right now, I'd just buy, I unno, a new camera
3814 2011-05-19 17:47:19 <wumpus> gambling is the word :)
3815 2011-05-19 17:47:40 <Namegduf> I'm not normally a gambler, so I'm enjoying the fairly high stakes game.
3816 2011-05-19 17:47:57 <Namegduf> Gamble a digital camera for, I unno, depends how high the price can go.
3817 2011-05-19 17:47:59 <wumpus> then again, there's nothing that -dev can do about it, the market needs to sort it out

3820 2011-05-19 17:48:37 <Namegduf> I think betting the interest in BTC will continue to rise above supply for now is fair. If it does collapse it'll collapse with an earth-shattering caboom when the major holders sell, though.
3821 2011-05-19 17:48:38 <HaltingState> Is anyone interested in doing a structured ASIC bitcoin miner?
3822 2011-05-19 17:48:49 Stellar has joined
3823 2011-05-19 17:49:05 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, at best you would be able to add about 0.01BTC to the block mined
3824 2011-05-19 17:49:14 sethsethseth has joined
3825 2011-05-19 17:49:15 <wumpus> I'm not really afraid that it will collapse, but it might go back to, let's say, $2-$3
3826 2011-05-19 17:49:19 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, so you're talking about a very small increase in the value of the block
3827 2011-05-19 17:49:24 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: what about pools?
3828 2011-05-19 17:49:34 <Namegduf> wumpus: I think it'll collapse to the point where people selling wouldn't get much out of it anyway
3829 2011-05-19 17:49:37 manly has joined
3830 2011-05-19 17:49:40 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, what about them?
3831 2011-05-19 17:49:40 <Namegduf> At which point they'll just keep it for the hell of it
3832 2011-05-19 17:49:59 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: lets say such a scheme would be perpetuated by a pool operator with huge hashing power
3833 2011-05-19 17:50:11 <Namegduf> It's only caused by a few people with huge holdings, though.
3834 2011-05-19 17:50:27 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, they'd be getting 50.01 BTC/block instead of 50 BTC, bfd
3835 2011-05-19 17:50:33 <Namegduf> therap1st: 2% of each block gives 1 BTC in fees

3837 2011-05-19 17:50:48 <therap1st> Namegduf: so far...
3838 2011-05-19 17:50:50 <Namegduf> An additional 1% profit from 1.01 isn't so much
3839 2011-05-19 17:50:55 <therap1st> nobody tried to drive up the price :)
3840 2011-05-19 17:51:12 <manly> hello #bitcoin-dev. id like to know where theres some good information about how bitcoin pools work internally.  note: i am a coder so i mean the technical details
3841 2011-05-19 17:51:13 <therap1st> what if slush and tycho forced txes to be 0.1 in fees
3842 2011-05-19 17:51:27 <therap1st> gradually of course
3843 2011-05-19 17:51:31 <Namegduf> Then I guess people would wait on the other pool.
3844 2011-05-19 17:51:32 <wumpus> Namegduf:  people selling it isn't really a problem as long as there are people buying
3845 2011-05-19 17:51:34 <Dek> manly: look on forum for pushpoold
3846 2011-05-19 17:51:38 <Dek> its all your going to get
3847 2011-05-19 17:51:56 <Namegduf> wumpus: Yeah, the collapse stuff would happen from a major owner selling faster than buying
3848 2011-05-19 17:52:04 <manly> ah ok so theres no real technical overview available ?
3849 2011-05-19 17:52:07 <Namegduf> And then that price drop triggering others to do so.
3850 2011-05-19 17:52:16 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, you dont get it, you could only increase the fees in the block by ~0.01 BTC/block by spamming
3851 2011-05-19 17:52:24 <wumpus> Namegduf: could also be a flash crash, a price drop will also trigger a lot of people buying which are now waiting
3852 2011-05-19 17:52:33 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, that might be worth it for someone at somepoint, but currently i dont think anybody cares
3853 2011-05-19 17:52:35 <Namegduf> wumpus: Hmm, maybe.
3854 2011-05-19 17:52:47 <Namegduf> wumpus: I'd totally buy a bunch to spend on things sold in BTCs to get them before the prices readjusted
3855 2011-05-19 17:53:13 <Namegduf> Because I have little moral issues with behaving in a self-centred way in something whose point is to be a Randian free market.
3856 2011-05-19 17:53:23 <Namegduf> And that could even fix it, heh.
3857 2011-05-19 17:53:41 <Namegduf> I guess you could also buy it to gamble that they'd go back up.
3858 2011-05-19 17:53:49 <Namegduf> As with stocks.
3859 2011-05-19 17:53:52 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: i'm talking about pool conspiracy :) if two huge pools drive tx fee up in a cartel, everyone else is left to wait for luck in honest pools or pay up

3864 2011-05-19 17:54:23 <Namegduf> They don't have an awful lot of inherent value and someone with 30% can sell and crash the price briefly, but they generaly work.
3865 2011-05-19 17:54:31 <Mookman288> manly: I have found no techical overview. I code, but I haven't coded non-web/gui stuff in a while.
3866 2011-05-19 17:54:51 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, i hear what you're saying, but you'd have to control > 50% of the mining power for that to be worth it, and if you have > 50% of the mining power you control the network anyways, so who cares?
3867 2011-05-19 17:54:55 <wumpus> Namegduf: anyway, currencies generally have no inherent value
3868 2011-05-19 17:54:58 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: but you're probably right, better wait for that to happen. i'm only worried about useability implications for regular folk
3869 2011-05-19 17:55:05 <Namegduf> wumpus: Agree
3870 2011-05-19 17:55:26 <Namegduf> wumpus: I just don't have any other small currencies to look at, so stocks are the closest similar thing in that regard.
3871 2011-05-19 17:55:34 <wumpus> Namegduf: true
3872 2011-05-19 17:55:48 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: this idea started by people worrying with pools having huge power. this could be ideal covert exploit...
3873 2011-05-19 17:56:20 <HaltingState> I think we have to worry about pools running ASICs.  The ASICs need to be open source and available to the community.  If only private pools control structured ASICs and they are 5x cheaper than graphics cards, that is an issue.
3874 2011-05-19 17:56:32 <x5x> therap1st, yea if no pool had that big a % of the pie, it probly wouldnt be an issue right ?
3875 2011-05-19 17:56:46 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, that would be FAR from covert, nobody but the miners would benefit from spam with transaction fees

3882 2011-05-19 17:57:33 <Namegduf> erbs: Percentage-wise maybe.
3883 2011-05-19 17:57:34 <wumpus> HaltingState: then again, GPUs are good enough for now, and pretty cost effective... building asics is expensive
3884 2011-05-19 17:57:48 <HaltingState> If the network hashing is dominant by private pools running ASICs, and the ASICs are not community controlled.  The cartels will be in a better position to charge large transaction frees.  In competition, large transaction processing fees encourage others to invest to create new pools to compete
3885 2011-05-19 17:57:49 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, what?
3886 2011-05-19 17:57:51 <erbs> of course he scammed his investors into believing the btc they acquired had become worthless
3887 2011-05-19 17:58:10 <erbs> they can easily reclaim the assets in court
3888 2011-05-19 17:58:23 <phantomcircuit> erbs, what?
3889 2011-05-19 17:58:23 <HaltingState> wumpus, building ASICs is not that expensive.  100 to 250k for a run of a few hundred "Structured ASICs" which are between FGPAs and ASICs
3890 2011-05-19 17:58:44 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: tx fee threshold for a tx to be accepted into block, its not public. or is it?
3891 2011-05-19 17:59:01 <HaltingState> wumpus, ArtForz has personally build his own structured ASIC miners as an individual, as a group the cost is not that much
3892 2011-05-19 17:59:11 <ArtForz> yep
3893 2011-05-19 17:59:23 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, that's entirely dependent on the miner, there are standard rules in the mainline, but anything included in a block is valid so long as it's well formed

3897 2011-05-19 18:00:04 <ArtForz> just a question if its profitable in the long run, GPUs being resellable for quite a large % of MSRP really lowers $/Mhps

3902 2011-05-19 18:00:41 <ArtForz> xilinx = cost per unit beyond crazy
3903 2011-05-19 18:00:44 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, that's entirely dependent on the pool, there are standard rules in the mainline, but anything included in a block is valid so long as it's well formed

3922 2011-05-19 18:04:01 <pyros1> ahh Namegduf how would I go about changing that?
3923 2011-05-19 18:04:08 <Namegduf> You would install a GPU miner
3924 2011-05-19 18:04:09 <ArtForz> even at >1u feature size std cell ASIC should beat FPGAs at 45nm and structtured ASIC at 65-90nm or so
3925 2011-05-19 18:04:14 <Namegduf> The main client can't generate on the GPU
3926 2011-05-19 18:04:19 <erbs> id bet theres some fabricators in china/taiwain/south korea  on alibaba.com with excess capacity who would fabricate you a few hundred chip for $10K
3927 2011-05-19 18:04:42 <pyros1> is there one you would recommend Namegduf?

3934 2011-05-19 18:05:15 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: This is a patch against SVN 159 that allows external RPC clients to ask for unsolved block data and eventually submit back a solution. is current getwork. so its a pool operator who selects the txes.
3935 2011-05-19 18:05:17 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, the only limitation is that the transactions have to be valid

3945 2011-05-19 18:07:20 <erbs> you know, you could probably get some investors to pay for building a chip
3946 2011-05-19 18:07:25 <therap1st> 1) find out the chinese FAB manufacturing artforz silicon 2) pay em to steal the design 3) maybe? PROFIT!
3947 2011-05-19 18:07:28 <Namegduf> I wouldn't invest in that.
3948 2011-05-19 18:07:48 <Namegduf> Due to the constant rate as soon as competition happens the money out will just match what everyone was doing before.
3949 2011-05-19 18:07:54 <HaltingState> ArtForz, did you end up using easic?
3950 2011-05-19 18:07:59 <ArtForz> HaltingState: nope
3951 2011-05-19 18:08:04 <Namegduf> You can't make the pie bigger, just try to get a bigger slice
3952 2011-05-19 18:08:08 <ArtForz> their stuff is rather not well suited for sha256
3953 2011-05-19 18:08:17 <ArtForz> = not enough fast adders
3954 2011-05-19 18:08:24 <Namegduf> Once you've proof-of-concept'd something as profitable others will do it and bang, there goes the profit.
3955 2011-05-19 18:08:27 <erbs> well.. to match your cost per hash they would have to build their own chips! and that would take them time and money.. so you win if you're on the cutting edge
3956 2011-05-19 18:08:45 <erbs> they wouldn't know what hw you use
3957 2011-05-19 18:08:45 <Namegduf> For as long as you're on the cutting edge, yes, but I'm dubious about making 10k that way.
3958 2011-05-19 18:08:52 <therap1st> Namegduf: pretty much. expect ebay flooded with old half-burned 5970 in a year
3959 2011-05-19 18:08:57 <therap1st> and xilinx's sold out
3960 2011-05-19 18:09:01 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: not a whole lot of time. main factor is money
3961 2011-05-19 18:09:08 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: asic startup costs are prohibitive
3962 2011-05-19 18:09:18 <phantomcircuit> therap1st, they dont accept blocks they accept transactions
3963 2011-05-19 18:09:19 <erbs> yeah get the investors to pay
3964 2011-05-19 18:09:21 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: assuming talent, of course
3965 2011-05-19 18:09:27 <erbs> all you have to do is show them a graph of btc
3966 2011-05-19 18:09:31 <Namegduf> You'd have a lot of startup cost gambled on getting the increased share of the generation pie
3967 2011-05-19 18:09:44 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: not really
3968 2011-05-19 18:09:45 <Namegduf> Generation price is only interesting at the current rate

3971 2011-05-19 18:09:55 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: way too volatile still to be convincing to investors
3972 2011-05-19 18:09:56 <erbs> haha ArtForz!
3973 2011-05-19 18:10:00 <erbs> true true
3974 2011-05-19 18:10:06 <Namegduf> As increasing price means you can just buy in to take advantage of that part.
3975 2011-05-19 18:10:08 <jrmithdobbs> ArtForz: shhhhhh
3976 2011-05-19 18:10:22 <erbs> jrmithdobbs: cmon man.. startup investors are precisely the people who are looking for high risk / high reward investments
3977 2011-05-19 18:10:29 <therap1st> phantomcircuit: understood. however getwork gives you list of txes (making up a block) you're trying to solve so its essentialy how pools work now
3978 2011-05-19 18:10:36 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: it's not as easy a sell as you're saying
3979 2011-05-19 18:10:38 <erbs> they are not pensioners investing in S&p500
3980 2011-05-19 18:10:47 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: at least, not if you want to keep decision making power

3984 2011-05-19 18:11:03 <jrmithdobbs> erbs: if you're willing to sell your soul to vcs, sure it'd be a pretty easy sell
3985 2011-05-19 18:11:20 <jrmithdobbs> but i think the last 15 years of tech startups have shown why this usually backfires
3986 2011-05-19 18:11:26 <flok> anyone on deepbit.net? my miner does 42M hashes but the counters on deepbit stay 0
3987 2011-05-19 18:11:40 <Namegduf> flok: Does it say it connected okay?
3988 2011-05-19 18:11:42 <ersi> flok: then you havn't submitted any successful results
3989 2011-05-19 18:11:43 <therap1st> ArtForz: why dont you start selling your manufactured asic silicon at some mad profit anyway?
3990 2011-05-19 18:11:44 <Namegduf> Do you have any shares?
3991 2011-05-19 18:11:50 <Namegduf> And yeah, it takes time to find shares
3992 2011-05-19 18:11:50 <therap1st> ArtForz: afraid of copycats?
3993 2011-05-19 18:11:51 <erbs> if bitcoin is attractive to currency speculators, it is attractive to mining speculators for the same reasons
3994 2011-05-19 18:12:03 <Namegduf> Nah
3995 2011-05-19 18:12:05 <jrmithdobbs> therap1st: because there's more profit in keeping it a trade secret atm
3996 2011-05-19 18:12:07 <jrmithdobbs> therap1st: duh
3997 2011-05-19 18:12:20 <ArtForz> therap1st: that and lawsuits, I have some reliability issues
3998 2011-05-19 18:12:21 <jrmithdobbs> therap1st: don't you doubt he has a point at which that becomes part of the business plan
3999 2011-05-19 18:12:27 <therap1st> i think people would buy it even severly overpriced
4000 2011-05-19 18:12:31 <Namegduf> How good is it, ArtForz?

4036 2011-05-19 18:15:54 <HaltingState> erbs, can you do C/C++? verilog is almost same

4048 2011-05-19 18:17:03 <HaltingState> therap1st, the cost is ridiculous
4049 2011-05-19 18:17:06 <diki> it actually had a primary key, but still no shares so i removed it
4050 2011-05-19 18:17:12 <iera> who would give his fpga implementation away? :p
4051 2011-05-19 18:17:17 <therap1st> HaltingState: it is. thats why it will be public, to pay upfront for the costs
4052 2011-05-19 18:17:33 <ArtForzZz> good luck
4053 2011-05-19 18:17:44 <ArtForzZz> hint: xilinx' ASIC offerings have about 30% better price/perf than virtexes... yeah.
4054 2011-05-19 18:17:56 <HaltingState> I have a verilog SHA256 implementation, its as ArtForzZz mentioned however.  You have to optimize the adders
4055 2011-05-19 18:18:00 <therap1st> also are cheaper to mass produce
4056 2011-05-19 18:18:07 <therap1st> but initial investment is huge

4060 2011-05-19 18:19:59 <therap1st> universal sha256 cracking asic chip will be fun in much more ways, not just BTC
4061 2011-05-19 18:20:00 <ArtForzZz> HaltingState: the best I got so far was by using 2-input adders for t2 = s0+maj and t1a = s1+ch, a 3-input adder for t1b = h + k + w, 3-input for a = t1a + t1b + t2 and for e = t1a + t1b + d
4062 2011-05-19 18:20:08 <ArtForzZz> and using a register stage in the middle
4063 2011-05-19 18:20:13 <therap1st> salted passwords and wpa2 cracking made real.

4068 2011-05-19 18:20:50 <erbs> therap1st: very true
4069 2011-05-19 18:20:52 <jrmithdobbs> therap1st: salted is already possible so long as you have a single target
4070 2011-05-19 18:20:56 <ArtForzZz> for 3-input adders I used CSA+CRA
4071 2011-05-19 18:21:04 <flok> Namegduf ah yes i see. do you know if you need a sepearate worker-login for each worker? or can i share one login by multiple pc's?

4140 2011-05-19 18:34:04 <Namegduf> Reminds me of that hilarious story about the time the DEA busted a datacentre
4141 2011-05-19 18:34:06 <ArtForzZz> "dassn linux cluster"
4142 2011-05-19 18:34:11 <C4colo> haha
4143 2011-05-19 18:34:11 <JFK911> ArtForzZz: lucky then
4144 2011-05-19 18:34:12 <Namegduf> Taking lots of electricity, generating lots of heat
4145 2011-05-19 18:34:22 <C4colo> I don't doubt it at all
4146 2011-05-19 18:34:30 <C4colo> they are clueless and they can get a warrant for NOTHING
4147 2011-05-19 18:34:33 <iera> ArtForzZz: is your custom design on a pci card or a seperate board?
4148 2011-05-19 18:34:38 <C4colo> and I don't mean "not very much" but just by asking
4149 2011-05-19 18:34:39 <ArtForzZz> iera: seperate board
4150 2011-05-19 18:34:45 <Namegduf> C4colo: Heat is considered justified cause in the UK
4151 2011-05-19 18:34:48 <ArtForzZz> connected via full speed USB
4152 2011-05-19 18:34:48 <Namegduf> Not so sure the US
4153 2011-05-19 18:34:55 <Namegduf> At least for a home address.
4154 2011-05-19 18:34:58 <iera> ah ok
4155 2011-05-19 18:35:10 <ArtForzZz> Namegduf: really?
4156 2011-05-19 18:35:10 <C4colo> or saying "uh, we have a confidential informant ... that ... uh, .. bought some ... weed.. there.  or something"
4157 2011-05-19 18:35:16 <Namegduf> ArtForzZz: Yes.
4158 2011-05-19 18:35:32 <C4colo> yea, which is why I'm never going to move to the UK
4159 2011-05-19 18:35:36 <ArtForzZz> did they change the law recently?
4160 2011-05-19 18:35:40 <iera> and how much watt for one board with 6.4ghps?
4161 2011-05-19 18:35:45 <C4colo> at least the USA said heat constitutes unreasonable search and seizure
4162 2011-05-19 18:35:49 <ArtForzZz> I remember they used to send a "fire inspector" that just happened to be accompanied by a few cops and a drug dog...
4163 2011-05-19 18:35:49 <gjs278> over 9000
4164 2011-05-19 18:35:49 <Namegduf> ArtForzZz: I don't think so.
4165 2011-05-19 18:36:00 <C4colo> the photography itself cannot be done without probable cause
4166 2011-05-19 18:36:02 <JFK911> C4colo: that kind of heat is very strange for a residence
4167 2011-05-19 18:36:03 <gjs278> is heat some kind of euphamism for drugs
4168 2011-05-19 18:36:06 <Namegduf> No
4169 2011-05-19 18:36:09 <Namegduf> Heat is heat
4170 2011-05-19 18:36:14 <Namegduf> Grow houses maintain a high temperature
4171 2011-05-19 18:36:15 <Mookman288> temperature
4172 2011-05-19 18:36:17 <Namegduf> They output a lot of heat
4173 2011-05-19 18:36:25 <C4colo> yea, but so does a basement full of servers
4174 2011-05-19 18:36:35 <Namegduf> C4colo: I think that's kinda silly. Does looking at a house require probable cause?
4175 2011-05-19 18:36:37 <C4colo> and maybe they are growing bananas in their basement
4176 2011-05-19 18:36:42 <JFK911> probably they cant see heat in the basement
4177 2011-05-19 18:36:43 <Namegduf> 'cause heat is just looking at it in a different frequency of light
4178 2011-05-19 18:36:48 <Namegduf> http://thelawwestofealingbroadway.blogspot.com/2009/02/turning-on-heat.html
4179 2011-05-19 18:36:49 <C4colo> without evidence of wrongdoing you can't say that heat is proof of anything
4180 2011-05-19 18:37:00 <ArtForzZz> C4colo: nah, indoor tomato farm ;)
4181 2011-05-19 18:37:01 <Namegduf> You don't need proof to get a search warrant.
4182 2011-05-19 18:37:06 <Namegduf> It kinda wouldn't work if you did.
4183 2011-05-19 18:37:08 <C4colo> no, they ruled that because the equipment is specialized that it is not available to the general public
4184 2011-05-19 18:37:10 <midnightmagic> it's possible to consume industrial amounts of electricity at a home here in Canada, but if you exceed.. I think it's 93 kWh, due to the massive fire risk that level of power consumption usually indicates, you have to get it inspected automatically every 180 days.
4185 2011-05-19 18:37:14 <C4colo> because of that cost it is rule unreasonable search
4186 2011-05-19 18:37:17 <midnightmagic> at least in BC.
4187 2011-05-19 18:37:21 <JFK911> C4colo: i can buy the equipment, so can you
4188 2011-05-19 18:37:30 <ArtForzZz> 93 kWh per what?
4189 2011-05-19 18:37:39 <midnightmagic> per day on average.
4190 2011-05-19 18:37:41 <JFK911> you arent a lawyer i think
4191 2011-05-19 18:37:42 <C4colo> I agree that the US Supreme court is a bit, what did you call it "sill" nowdays, this was made back when they still cared about individual rights
4192 2011-05-19 18:37:44 <Namegduf> C4colo: That's reasonable although increasingly incorrect logic, prices are dropping there as for any technology
4193 2011-05-19 18:37:47 <ArtForzZz> 93kWh/h is just 93kW and thats a bit... excessive
4194 2011-05-19 18:37:49 <C4colo> NOW you can buy it
4195 2011-05-19 18:37:50 <C4colo> sure
4196 2011-05-19 18:37:53 <C4colo> not when they made the ruling

4200 2011-05-19 18:38:19 <JFK911> you're a fool to believe the cops can't do anything
4201 2011-05-19 18:38:31 <C4colo> oh, they do it anyway
4202 2011-05-19 18:38:34 <midnightmagic> ArtForzZz: I'm close to that right now. I'm sitting around 86 kWh per day on average.
4203 2011-05-19 18:38:36 <Namegduf> I prefer to read the political discussions on the forums and laugh a lot than to get involved.
4204 2011-05-19 18:38:41 <ArtForzZz> oh, per day
4205 2011-05-19 18:38:45 <C4colo> but then start looking for other evidence to back it up before getting a warrant
4206 2011-05-19 18:38:50 <iera> ArtForzZz: how much watt per 6.4ghps (one board i guess?)
4207 2011-05-19 18:38:52 <C4colo> they don't use it alone anymore
4208 2011-05-19 18:39:01 <ArtForzZz> iera: nope, 4 boards
4209 2011-05-19 18:39:11 <iera> ah ok
4210 2011-05-19 18:39:13 <C4colo> but if you don't know they started with it you can't claim amendment 4
4211 2011-05-19 18:39:15 <ArtForzZz> one board is 1.6Ghps and ~60W
4212 2011-05-19 18:39:21 <iera> wow
4213 2011-05-19 18:39:34 <Namegduf> That is power-efficient
4214 2011-05-19 18:39:37 <ArtForzZz> well, 67 including DC-DC losses
4215 2011-05-19 18:39:39 <Namegduf> Relative to GPUs
4216 2011-05-19 18:39:47 <ArtForzZz> yep
4217 2011-05-19 18:39:59 <iera> relative to everything
4218 2011-05-19 18:40:04 <Namegduf> Ten times as powerful as my two, for, what... a fifth, quarter the power.

4222 2011-05-19 18:40:33 <ArtForzZz> wow
4223 2011-05-19 18:40:38 <iera> ArtForzZz: do you sell the boards? lol or your investors? :p
4224 2011-05-19 18:40:39 <diki> *formula for the reward
4225 2011-05-19 18:40:40 <ArtForzZz> 93kW/day is only like 3.9kW or so

4230 2011-05-19 18:41:30 <Namegduf> I mean really what answer do you expect
4231 2011-05-19 18:41:53 <ArtForzZz> waste of bullets, just strangle em
4232 2011-05-19 18:42:08 <midnightmagic> ArtForzZz: yeah. First tier of power here in BC is ~23 kWh/day and costs $0.065CAD, and then $0.0878/kWh after that. "Based on BC Hydro's Fiscal 2011 revenue requirement application, effective April 1, 2010, residential customers pay 6.27 cents per kWh for the first 1,350 kWh they use over a two-month billing period. Above that amount, customers pay 8.78 cents per kWh for the balance of the electricity used during the billing per

4234 2011-05-19 18:42:37 <ArtForzZz> wow
4235 2011-05-19 18:42:43 <gasteve> I don't understand what kWh/day means
4236 2011-05-19 18:42:53 <ArtForzZz> gasteve: its a unit for idiots
4237 2011-05-19 18:42:57 <gasteve> lol
4238 2011-05-19 18:43:04 <Namegduf> A "kWh" is a unit for power used
4239 2011-05-19 18:43:12 <intractable> energy
4240 2011-05-19 18:43:15 <Namegduf> Because for some reason joules aren't good enough
4241 2011-05-19 18:43:15 <intractable> it's a unit of energy
4242 2011-05-19 18:43:23 <Namegduf> Right, that is clearer
4243 2011-05-19 18:43:31 <Namegduf> It's 1kW * 1 hour
4244 2011-05-19 18:43:36 <davux> http://eternal-earthbound-pets.com/ <- haha, they should accept BTC payments as well
4245 2011-05-19 18:43:39 <gjs278> you know what they call a kilowatt hour in france
4246 2011-05-19 18:44:01 <ArtForzZz> 1 kWh/h = 1kW, 1kWh/day = 41 2/3 W

4248 2011-05-19 18:44:38 <mtrlt> and also 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ
4249 2011-05-19 18:44:44 <ArtForzZz> yep
4250 2011-05-19 18:45:15 <Mookman288> oh damn, I sent my big cash price (0.01btc) to some wrong address.
4251 2011-05-19 18:45:16 <ArtForzZz> but people get all glazy eyed when I state eff. in hash/J ;)
4252 2011-05-19 18:45:20 <Mookman288> Oh well, heh.
4253 2011-05-19 18:45:34 <mtrlt> which makes for interesting applications. this 1 litre carton of milk has 0.75kWh of energy
4254 2011-05-19 18:45:48 <diki> Done, i have figured out everything i need. But i'll have to move to mysql
4255 2011-05-19 18:45:59 <midnightmagic> ArtForzZz: there are cities locally here in BC where an inspector will demand entry to your house, and leave cops out at the curb. if you let them enter and they find evidence of grow-op, they call in the cops. even if they don't, they try to charge you for the visit.
4256 2011-05-19 18:46:21 <Namegduf> BC?
4257 2011-05-19 18:46:23 <Namegduf> Also, charge?

4259 2011-05-19 18:46:26 <Namegduf> For a police visit?
4260 2011-05-19 18:46:28 <Namegduf> Ah.
4261 2011-05-19 18:46:30 <ArtForzZz> midnightmagic: they cant pull that stunt here
4262 2011-05-19 18:46:33 <midnightmagic> charge as in money
4263 2011-05-19 18:46:44 <Namegduf> Wow.
4264 2011-05-19 18:46:55 <Namegduf> You pay to be visited by the police there?
4265 2011-05-19 18:46:56 <midnightmagic> yeah we're all pretty choked up about it. I'm pretty sure it's illegal.
4266 2011-05-19 18:46:58 <ArtForzZz> well, at least thay cant bill you for it ;)
4267 2011-05-19 18:47:11 <midnightmagic> =]
4268 2011-05-19 18:47:57 <midnightmagic> also, I'm just using kWh/day as a unit because they charge in kWh. so lemme be :P
4269 2011-05-19 18:48:05 <mtrlt> :D
4270 2011-05-19 18:48:51 <ArtForzZz> why not GJ/decade ?

4273 2011-05-19 18:49:06 <da2ce7> will bitcoind cope with 100 000 adddresses?
4274 2011-05-19 18:49:11 <midnightmagic> ArtForzZz: well that would just be silly..
4275 2011-05-19 18:49:15 <ArtForzZz> midnightmagic: yep, they can try that here, too.
4276 2011-05-19 18:49:39 <ArtForzZz> then you send them a statement from a licensed trade elec that your installation is ok.
4277 2011-05-19 18:49:44 <ArtForzZz> and they can go fuck themselves
4278 2011-05-19 18:49:56 <midnightmagic> I wish more Canadians had that attitude.
4279 2011-05-19 18:50:21 <Namegduf> I think this is all remarkably more insane than just considering infrared radiation emitted out of a house as publicly visible and something glowing like a Christmas tree as justified cause.
4280 2011-05-19 18:50:38 <Namegduf> Crazy circumventations of things...

4284 2011-05-19 18:51:17 <midnightmagic> neighbours tend to be pretty intolerant of all the grow-op shenanigans. I had someone park their bike outside my house (on the street) trying to peek in my garage windows when I was chopping ventilation holes and running my ducts.

4326 2011-05-19 19:07:34 <kapsel_> hello everyone. I need help . I  just installed  my brand new, shiny hd5858 asus 765mhz, and it makes only 165-170Mh/s I have sdk 2.1
4327 2011-05-19 19:07:42 <diki> there is no 5858
4328 2011-05-19 19:07:44 <kapsel_> any ideas?
4329 2011-05-19 19:07:54 <kapsel_> 5850
4330 2011-05-19 19:07:56 <diki> try adding the arguments -v -w 128
4331 2011-05-19 19:08:00 <diki> they help a lot
4332 2011-05-19 19:08:02 <midnightmagic> and -f 1
4333 2011-05-19 19:08:15 <diki> without -f 1 or he will see a slideshow
4334 2011-05-19 19:08:25 <kapsel_> ok I tried few but it only made things worse
4335 2011-05-19 19:08:35 <diki> why not try the 2.4 sdk?
4336 2011-05-19 19:08:35 <kapsel_> but i'll try these ones
4337 2011-05-19 19:08:39 <diki> Works great imo
4338 2011-05-19 19:09:00 <midnightmagic> the difference on half of one of my 5970s is huge with/ without -f {some low single-digit number}

4354 2011-05-19 19:11:24 <Diablo-D3> kapsel_: a 5850 at stock should do like 285
4355 2011-05-19 19:11:26 <diki> i get 275 at 725mhz
4356 2011-05-19 19:12:10 <kapsel_> after adding f1 its 120

4361 2011-05-19 19:12:41 <Diablo-D3> kapsel_: did you forget to turn off cpu mining in bitcoin?
4362 2011-05-19 19:12:47 <diki> what is your miner?

4380 2011-05-19 19:14:50 <kapsel_> it looks like this in the bat file
4381 2011-05-19 19:15:01 <diki> pardon but how many gpus do you have?
4382 2011-05-19 19:15:08 <Diablo-D3> kapsel_: anyhow, 5850@765 on sdk 2.1 gets 300.
4383 2011-05-19 19:15:15 <Diablo-D3> kapsel_: also, are you sure you have the right device?
4384 2011-05-19 19:15:20 <Diablo-D3> I thought device 1 was cpu
4385 2011-05-19 19:15:27 <diki> 110 can never be cpu
4386 2011-05-19 19:15:33 <diki> unless dual gpu
4387 2011-05-19 19:15:39 <kapsel_> 0 is cpu
4388 2011-05-19 19:16:00 <diki> then 1 is Cayman? (aka caveman)
4389 2011-05-19 19:16:17 <diki> i mean Cypress
4390 2011-05-19 19:16:19 <kapsel_> Awww maybe new drivers? I installed those from a box
4391 2011-05-19 19:16:25 <diki> lol
4392 2011-05-19 19:16:27 <diki> dl the new drivers

4397 2011-05-19 19:16:47 <kapsel_> eureka
4398 2011-05-19 19:16:48 <diki> i bet

4401 2011-05-19 19:17:18 <diki> There are a few steps
4402 2011-05-19 19:17:37 <pyros1> Diablo-D3 would you have time to help me setup your version of the GPU miner? or is there a website that has instructions?
4403 2011-05-19 19:17:38 <diki> Download driver sweeper. Reboot and go into safe mode. Use driver sweeper to clean ALL of ati/amd stuff
4404 2011-05-19 19:17:53 <diki> reboot and install drivers, reboot again
4405 2011-05-19 19:18:33 <kapsel_> ok
4406 2011-05-19 19:18:48 <kapsel_> so I never should install old drivers
4407 2011-05-19 19:18:48 <Diablo-D3> kapsel_: NEVER use drivers off the cd
4408 2011-05-19 19:18:55 <Diablo-D3> ever ever ever
4409 2011-05-19 19:19:05 <diki> (double)ever
4410 2011-05-19 19:19:08 <Diablo-D3> pyros1: btw, if you're having a problem, just ask
4411 2011-05-19 19:20:12 <kapsel_> om, I guess entering the safe mode depends on my bios or sth
4412 2011-05-19 19:20:31 <diki> no, you reboot and press f8 before the OS loads
4413 2011-05-19 19:20:37 <diki> before the loading screen ever appears
4414 2011-05-19 19:20:42 <pyros1> Diablo-D3 so from what I've done is I'm using windows 7x64 dual 5770's currently corssfired which I've learnt you need to turn off
4415 2011-05-19 19:20:49 <pyros1> I've put in bitcoin.conf
4416 2011-05-19 19:20:53 <diki> then choose safe mode(just safe mode, not the other crap
4417 2011-05-19 19:21:01 <pyros1> with rpcuser and rpcpassword, but i don't know what to do from there
4418 2011-05-19 19:21:03 <kapsel_> ok thx
4419 2011-05-19 19:21:09 <diki> pyros
4420 2011-05-19 19:21:10 <Diablo-D3> pyros1: to get optimum performance you turn it off on ANY opencl app
4421 2011-05-19 19:21:17 <diki> those stuff are for solo mining
4422 2011-05-19 19:21:34 <BlueMatt> [Tycho]: ping
4423 2011-05-19 19:21:35 <Diablo-D3> pyros1: if you intend on pool mining, you dont need to set bitcoin up for solo mining
4424 2011-05-19 19:21:40 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/391977/
4425 2011-05-19 19:22:02 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: thanks
4426 2011-05-19 19:22:04 <Blitzboom> it sounds a bit funny when you have verschlüsselung, schlüssel and entschlüsseln in a sentence, but whatever
4427 2011-05-19 19:22:07 <pyros1> Diablo-D3 I've been using bitcoin but it takes up 100% CPU resources. and it keeps pushing my CPU temp up high
4428 2011-05-19 19:22:17 * diki doesn't know german
4429 2011-05-19 19:22:23 <pyros1> i think it went past 80C before i turned it off
4430 2011-05-19 19:22:29 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: well thats up to the translator ;) plus as long as its understandable it doesnt matter too much
4431 2011-05-19 19:22:41 <diki> pyros...you may have turned on coin generation
4432 2011-05-19 19:22:45 <Diablo-D3> pyros1: turn off bitcoin generation
4433 2011-05-19 19:22:46 <Namegduf> 80C is not that high
4434 2011-05-19 19:22:53 <diki> Lol, it is
4435 2011-05-19 19:22:58 <Diablo-D3> for what,  a cpu?
4436 2011-05-19 19:22:59 <diki> especially if it's an AMD CPu
4437 2011-05-19 19:23:00 <Namegduf> Not for peak when the CPU is under maximum load.
4438 2011-05-19 19:23:01 <pyros1> i5
4439 2011-05-19 19:23:05 <Diablo-D3> 85c is high for a cpu imo
4440 2011-05-19 19:23:12 <Diablo-D3> I dont like exceeding 65.

4448 2011-05-19 19:23:35 <Diablo-D3> diki: dont.

4452 2011-05-19 19:24:14 <Diablo-D3> thats a p180b case, thermalright ultra120 heatsink, and a thermalright hr03gt heatsink
4453 2011-05-19 19:24:24 <diki> is that a nh-d14?
4454 2011-05-19 19:24:28 <Diablo-D3> the top of the case is the right
4455 2011-05-19 19:24:35 <pyros1> yea I'm also using a stock CPU fan as well >.> so that's why I'm hopping to try GPU mining
4456 2011-05-19 19:24:37 <diki> looks just like a cooler master cooler tho
4457 2011-05-19 19:24:37 <Diablo-D3> and no, I dont have ram heatsinks, thats just overboard
4458 2011-05-19 19:24:48 <Diablo-D3> diki: all of these look similar
4459 2011-05-19 19:24:53 <diki> Mosfets sinks are a must
4460 2011-05-19 19:25:10 <Diablo-D3> theres only so many ways to put fins on a bunch of heatpipes
4461 2011-05-19 19:25:17 <diki> If one has a 4+1 phase mobo and wants to OC, sinks for mosfets is a must...
4462 2011-05-19 19:25:35 <diki> I have one and was warned before my mosfets blew up
4463 2011-05-19 19:25:54 <Diablo-D3> but yeah, even at full load for hours on end, my cpu stays around 45c.
4464 2011-05-19 19:26:06 <diki> what cooler?
4465 2011-05-19 19:26:08 <gjs278> I dont go past 80C on cpu

4474 2011-05-19 19:26:51 <pyros1> Diablo-D3 i tried starting DiabloMiner-Windows.exe but it just exits out right away
4475 2011-05-19 19:26:52 <diki> looks similar tho
4476 2011-05-19 19:26:57 <Diablo-D3> pyros1: you didnt add arguments to it.
4477 2011-05-19 19:26:57 <gjs278> wlel
4478 2011-05-19 19:27:00 <diki> but looks like a dual heatsink
4479 2011-05-19 19:27:02 <Blitzboom> so encryption is already done?
4480 2011-05-19 19:27:03 <gjs278> only half of it does
4481 2011-05-19 19:27:17 <Diablo-D3> I ended up taking my 4850 out though

4483 2011-05-19 19:27:28 <diki> it does, what 60 mhash?
4484 2011-05-19 19:27:34 <Diablo-D3> my 4850? 76.6
4485 2011-05-19 19:27:49 <Blitzboom> i could finally feel safe with relatives using bitcoin on their own then, hehe

4552 2011-05-19 19:40:38 <C4colo> I've been reading the wiki and such but I just want to make sure I understand how block hashing works.  The client takes all unblocked transactions and forms a "block" out of them in memory and then looks for a hash that meets specific requirements (based on difficulty) right?

4555 2011-05-19 19:41:11 <C4colo> the problem is static or dynamic?

4558 2011-05-19 19:42:50 <jgarzik> C4colo: very basically that is correct
4559 2011-05-19 19:43:20 <jgarzik> C4colo: a block collects all transactions* since last block.  (* some spam transactions may be skipped, other TX prioritization may apply)
4560 2011-05-19 19:44:27 <C4colo> is there any limit to the size of a block?
4561 2011-05-19 19:44:40 <phantomcircuit> C4colo, yes
4562 2011-05-19 19:45:07 <jrmithdobbs> jgarzik: do you actually use any threads in pushpoold or is it just the curl stuff that's threaded?
4563 2011-05-19 19:45:17 <jrmithdobbs> jgarzik: doesn't look like it from what i see
4564 2011-05-19 19:45:23 <C4colo> if I were reserving a block of memory for the "problem" to sit in while I solve it could I anticipate the largest size that "problem" will take up in memory while I am working on it?
4565 2011-05-19 19:45:50 <C4colo> and will that change with time?

4577 2011-05-19 19:48:30 <brocktice> MrHako: yeah come talk with me in #bitcoin-mining
4578 2011-05-19 19:48:33 <C4colo> ok, so the merkle root will always be the same size?
4579 2011-05-19 19:48:39 <C4colo> and that's what we are actually hashing?
4580 2011-05-19 19:48:54 <MrHako> XX01XX yeah, i have a problem on every miner. At some point one of my 5870 cards (1 out of 3) stops mining. Phoenix shows it as still mining and diabloMiner just dont echo any action on one of the cards (random) - thought it was more developer alike thats why i joined this channel

4590 2011-05-19 19:50:15 <MrHako> brocktice tho i underclocked the memory

4595 2011-05-19 19:50:39 <XX01XX> MrHako... remove the overclockingand see if you still have the problem.

4623 2011-05-19 19:58:00 <Diablo-D3> AMD APP == SDK 2.4
4624 2011-05-19 19:59:22 <C4colo> ok, so I take all the transactions I have and sha256(sha256(Block_Header)) and then I see if that hash meets certain guidelines to see if it meets the difficulty level
4625 2011-05-19 19:59:33 <pyros1> ahh
4626 2011-05-19 19:59:39 <pyros1> so i uninstall AMD APP then
4627 2011-05-19 19:59:55 <C4colo> I read the difficulty page in the wiki but I don't quite understand how the difficulty applies to evaluating if my solution is valid
4628 2011-05-19 20:00:18 <Diablo-D3> C4colo: the solution is only valid if it meets the difficulty requirements
4629 2011-05-19 20:00:19 <C4colo> is it just the numeric value of the SHA hash?
4630 2011-05-19 20:00:23 <C4colo> right

4636 2011-05-19 20:00:44 <Diablo-D3> or, literally, it has to start with so many binary zeros
4637 2011-05-19 20:00:48 <C4colo> to oversimplify
4638 2011-05-19 20:00:59 <Diablo-D3> well, if you had 256 zeros....
4639 2011-05-19 20:01:05 <C4colo> that's what I'm indicating
4640 2011-05-19 20:01:07 <Diablo-D3> it'd pass the difficulty of everything
4641 2011-05-19 20:01:10 <C4colo> I just mashed the 0
4642 2011-05-19 20:01:21 <roconnor> C4colo: the hash when interpreted as a number be less than the "target"
4643 2011-05-19 20:01:27 <C4colo> 0x0 = 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

4691 2011-05-19 20:17:17 <pyros1> hey do I have to turn on the bitcoin daemond for the diablominer to work?
4692 2011-05-19 20:17:30 <Namegduf> Yes, unless you're pool mining.
4693 2011-05-19 20:17:46 <gjs278> wow
4694 2011-05-19 20:17:49 <gjs278> the kernel developers
4695 2011-05-19 20:17:54 <gjs278> removed big kernel lock
4696 2011-05-19 20:17:58 <gjs278> guess what requires big kernel lock
4697 2011-05-19 20:18:00 <gjs278> ati drivers
4698 2011-05-19 20:18:16 <gjs278> this is fucking retarded
4699 2011-05-19 20:18:16 <ersi> l o l
4700 2011-05-19 20:18:27 <ersi> Wasn't BKL removed ages ago?
4701 2011-05-19 20:18:43 <gjs278> no
4702 2011-05-19 20:18:47 <gjs278> at least it was an option before
4703 2011-05-19 20:18:50 <gjs278> now it isnt
4704 2011-05-19 20:18:58 <Namegduf> gjs278: Sounds like the ATI drivers are pretty shitty then, yes
4705 2011-05-19 20:19:07 C4colo has joined
4706 2011-05-19 20:19:10 <gjs278> no it sounds like the kernel developers shouldnt remove shit people need
4707 2011-05-19 20:19:14 <gjs278> leave it as an option
4708 2011-05-19 20:19:14 <BlueMatt> using BKL for shit is just a bad idea, period
4709 2011-05-19 20:19:19 <gjs278> doesnt matter
4710 2011-05-19 20:19:27 <ersi> well, ATi's fucking driver has been a long standing joke
4711 2011-05-19 20:19:31 <gjs278> I dont care
4712 2011-05-19 20:19:34 <BlueMatt> BKL is a bug and last I checked it was their job to remove bugs
4713 2011-05-19 20:19:34 <gjs278> I need them to work
4714 2011-05-19 20:19:37 <Namegduf> I'm pretty sure ATI doesn't "need" it to implement what they do.

4728 2011-05-19 20:20:26 pyros1 has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
4729 2011-05-19 20:20:28 <jlewis> or don't upgrade your kernel
4730 2011-05-19 20:20:29 <gjs278> this is the bitcoin project
4731 2011-05-19 20:20:34 <gjs278> I want to upgrade my kernel
4732 2011-05-19 20:20:35 <ersi> Or don't upgrade the kernel.
4733 2011-05-19 20:20:44 <jlewis> whoa crazy idea i know, not upgrading to the bleeding edge
4734 2011-05-19 20:20:54 <ersi> can't do that maaan
4735 2011-05-19 20:20:56 <gjs278> hey jlewis I need a driver in here
4736 2011-05-19 20:20:56 <BlueMatt> no nvidia drivers suck too
4737 2011-05-19 20:20:58 <Namegduf> gjs278: The drivers you are using have not been updated to avoid the BKL
4738 2011-05-19 20:20:59 <gjs278> so you can go fuck yourself
4739 2011-05-19 20:20:59 <ersi> then I can't go to work!
4740 2011-05-19 20:21:01 <Namegduf> You have to wait until they are.
4741 2011-05-19 20:21:06 <Namegduf> Simple as that.
4742 2011-05-19 20:21:14 <Namegduf> It's an update they need to do to support newer kernels
4743 2011-05-19 20:21:16 <gjs278> or kernel devs could just leave it in
4744 2011-05-19 20:21:17 <gjs278> simple as that
4745 2011-05-19 20:21:18 <jlewis> gjs278: lol, looks like you're the one fucking yourself with all that whining to deaf ears
4746 2011-05-19 20:21:21 <ersi> BlueMatt: well, they don't piss themselfs and shit them selfs all day long in all kinds of fantastical scenarios
4747 2011-05-19 20:21:40 <ersi> ATi + graphics + drivers is fucking horrible
4748 2011-05-19 20:21:44 <Namegduf> gjs278: If you don't want the kernel devs to change anything, just don't upgrade.
4749 2011-05-19 20:21:46 <Namegduf> Same effect.
4750 2011-05-19 20:21:49 <BlueMatt> ersi: meh, most recent one causes 100% cpu usage on miners and large cpu usage on X
4751 2011-05-19 20:21:50 <gjs278> no
4752 2011-05-19 20:21:54 <Namegduf> Yes.
4753 2011-05-19 20:21:57 <gjs278> I want them to write a better kernel without breaking my drivers
4754 2011-05-19 20:22:09 <jlewis> patch it yourself like a big boy
4755 2011-05-19 20:22:10 <gjs278> they didnt have to kill the option for bkl
4756 2011-05-19 20:22:12 <jlewis> or stop whining
4757 2011-05-19 20:22:13 <gjs278> lol
4758 2011-05-19 20:22:13 <BlueMatt> and I want my drivers to not exploit kernel bugs to work properly
4759 2011-05-19 20:22:15 <ersi> Go fucking prod ATi for better drivers
4760 2011-05-19 20:22:16 <Namegduf> They did to make a better kernel.
4761 2011-05-19 20:22:19 <gjs278> no
4762 2011-05-19 20:22:22 <Namegduf> The BKL was making the kernel bad.
4763 2011-05-19 20:22:22 <gjs278> you are not making a better kernel
4764 2011-05-19 20:22:24 <Namegduf> It was bad.
4765 2011-05-19 20:22:27 <gjs278> by dropping support for every ati card
4766 2011-05-19 20:22:32 <gjs278> that wants to use 3d drivers
4767 2011-05-19 20:22:32 <ersi> Locks are bad, m'kay
4768 2011-05-19 20:22:50 <Namegduf> gjs278: The kernel development should not be held up making major improvements by ATI's laziness
4769 2011-05-19 20:22:57 <gjs278> yes they should
4770 2011-05-19 20:23:05 <gjs278> and it's not even "holding them up"
4771 2011-05-19 20:23:09 <gjs278> it's an option that would still work
4772 2011-05-19 20:23:15 <Namegduf> The BKL has been on the way out for a long, long time.
4773 2011-05-19 20:23:22 <Namegduf> If ATI are still using it, they are holding shit up
4774 2011-05-19 20:23:23 <ersi> Yeah, it's not exactly NEWS
4775 2011-05-19 20:23:24 <Namegduf> Simple as that
4776 2011-05-19 20:23:26 pyros1 has joined
4777 2011-05-19 20:23:36 <gjs278> the kernel developers could have released a kernel of the same quality and left it in
4778 2011-05-19 20:23:42 <gjs278> it's an option that will still work
4779 2011-05-19 20:23:45 <ersi> go enjoy your older kernels then, you smurf ;o
4780 2011-05-19 20:23:51 <Namegduf> No, they couldn't, because the BKL was lowering quality.
4781 2011-05-19 20:23:55 <gjs278> no it wasnt
4782 2011-05-19 20:23:56 <Namegduf> Because it was a design mistake.
4783 2011-05-19 20:23:57 <gjs278> you dont want it

4785 2011-05-19 20:23:59 <gjs278> you turn it off
4786 2011-05-19 20:24:01 <gjs278> you want it
4787 2011-05-19 20:24:02 <gjs278> you keep it on
4788 2011-05-19 20:24:08 <gjs278> that's the best quality
4789 2011-05-19 20:24:14 <phantomcircuit> gjs278, it's still an optional buildtime component
4790 2011-05-19 20:24:18 <Namegduf> gjs278: You don't want it, you don't upgrade to a version without it
4791 2011-05-19 20:24:22 <ersi> Yeah, I always keep super duper legacy crap around.. you know, just in case!
4792 2011-05-19 20:24:23 <_io_> if you need any asp legacy code worked on atlas does nothing but legacy asp code work all day long every day for the man (and dongs)
4793 2011-05-19 20:24:30 * lupine_85 wonders if the radeonhd driver supports opencl yet
4794 2011-05-19 20:24:33 <gjs278> there are hundreds of deprecated options in the kernel that are not outright removed
4795 2011-05-19 20:24:45 <Namegduf> The BKL requires ugly everywhere to support
4796 2011-05-19 20:24:53 TD has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
4797 2011-05-19 20:24:53 <Namegduf> It's *nasty*
4798 2011-05-19 20:25:03 <wumpus> yes it's truly nasty and should die
4799 2011-05-19 20:25:05 <lupine_85> AIUI, the BKL does lock a lot of structures
4800 2011-05-19 20:25:05 <ersi> "No, it's just an magical option dude! That makes my drivers work!"
4801 2011-05-19 20:25:12 <Namegduf> And it being optional does not remove it from the source
4802 2011-05-19 20:25:12 <gjs278> it is a magical option
4803 2011-05-19 20:25:13 <lupine_85> good riddance, I say
4804 2011-05-19 20:25:35 <lupine_85> (with a half-ATi fleet)
4805 2011-05-19 20:25:39 <gjs278> good riddance that every ati card on kernel 2.6.39 can't do opencl because the kernel devs refused to just mark it as deprecated?
4806 2011-05-19 20:25:44 TD has joined
4807 2011-05-19 20:25:45 <lupine_85> yes
4808 2011-05-19 20:25:46 <wumpus> are even legacy depracated kernel options a reason for nostalgia these days?
4809 2011-05-19 20:25:46 <_io_> if you need any asp legacy code worked on atlas does nothing but legacy asp code work all day long every day for the man (and dongs)
4810 2011-05-19 20:25:47 <Namegduf> It's been deprecated for a long time.
4811 2011-05-19 20:25:47 <gjs278> lol
4812 2011-05-19 20:25:49 <gjs278> ok then
4813 2011-05-19 20:25:57 <lupine_85> maybe it'll give the radeonhd people a boot up the arse
4814 2011-05-19 20:25:59 <Namegduf> ATI's fault.
4815 2011-05-19 20:26:06 <gjs278> it's not ati's fault
4816 2011-05-19 20:26:13 <Namegduf> Yes, it is.
4817 2011-05-19 20:26:13 <lupine_85> it is
4818 2011-05-19 20:26:16 <gjs278> the option added still boots and runs fine
4819 2011-05-19 20:26:23 <lupine_85> they should have dropped fglrx and put their effort into radeonhd instead
4820 2011-05-19 20:26:27 <gjs278> lol
4821 2011-05-19 20:26:32 <Namegduf> It is ATI's fault for replying on deprecated stuff.
4822 2011-05-19 20:26:35 <lupine_85> then their code wouldn't rely on BKL
4823 2011-05-19 20:26:40 <ersi> Yes, companies should support their products.
4824 2011-05-19 20:26:41 <lupine_85> because the developers would have fixed it for them
4825 2011-05-19 20:26:43 <ersi> Not everyone else.
4826 2011-05-19 20:26:43 <Namegduf> Not the Linux kernel's fault for removing depcreated stuff.
4827 2011-05-19 20:26:47 <gjs278> yes it is
4828 2011-05-19 20:26:49 <lupine_85> derp
4829 2011-05-19 20:26:55 <ersi> herpa derp
4830 2011-05-19 20:27:00 <gjs278> leave the option in, it does no harm to anyone to leave it there
4831 2011-05-19 20:27:04 <Namegduf> Yes, it does.
4832 2011-05-19 20:27:06 <ersi> yes it does
4833 2011-05-19 20:27:07 <lupine_85> it does do harm
4834 2011-05-19 20:27:08 <gjs278> especially when ati is still relying on it
4835 2011-05-19 20:27:16 <gjs278> having code that you do not turn on does not do har
4836 2011-05-19 20:27:16 <Namegduf> Does the word "maintainability" mean anything to you?
4837 2011-05-19 20:27:17 <gjs278> m
4838 2011-05-19 20:27:19 <wumpus> ati should just stop relying on it

4841 2011-05-19 20:27:21 <Namegduf> Yes, it does.
4842 2011-05-19 20:27:23 <lupine_85> everywhere that touches things locked by the BKL has to check the BKL
4843 2011-05-19 20:27:24 <wumpus> that's obvious
4844 2011-05-19 20:27:24 <Namegduf> Said code has to be maintained.

4850 2011-05-19 20:27:49 <MrHako>  Diablo-D3 i have 3 GPU's at some point diablominer only outputs the queue and work for the 2 of the GPUs last time #1 was missing - why is this?
4851 2011-05-19 20:27:51 <wumpus> but of course, ATI can never do anything wrong, they're like Apple!

4856 2011-05-19 20:28:20 <MrHako> Diablo-D3 btw all 3 are running fine for an amount of time before that happens
4857 2011-05-19 20:28:20 <jgarzik> no need for fglrx
4858 2011-05-19 20:28:25 <lupine_85> gjs278, now look at the shortlog

4860 2011-05-19 20:28:34 <gjs278> I care that an ati driver can load
4861 2011-05-19 20:28:34 <ersi> Man, should have a karma bot here
4862 2011-05-19 20:28:35 <gjs278> that's it
4863 2011-05-19 20:28:36 <lupine_85> there are lots and lots of extra patches removing BKL from other palces
4864 2011-05-19 20:28:38 <lupine_85> places*
4865 2011-05-19 20:28:40 <Namegduf> gjs278: Then don't update your kernel

4867 2011-05-19 20:28:46 <wumpus> well then use an old kernel, it still works right?

4872 2011-05-19 20:29:06 <ersi> But he wants the latest of the latest!
4873 2011-05-19 20:29:12 <ersi> Not the version prior to that!
4874 2011-05-19 20:29:18 <ersi> Waaah waah waah
4875 2011-05-19 20:29:18 <gjs278> I do
4876 2011-05-19 20:29:25 * ersi calls the whaaaaaaaaambulance
4877 2011-05-19 20:29:28 <gjs278> there's no good reason to kill every ati driver on your new kernel
4878 2011-05-19 20:29:31 <wumpus> whaaaa 
4879 2011-05-19 20:29:34 <ersi> whaaaa
4880 2011-05-19 20:29:38 <gjs278> lol
4881 2011-05-19 20:29:42 <lupine_85> course there is
4882 2011-05-19 20:29:42 <Namegduf> gjs278: Well, you can't, because part of being latest is removing LONG deprecated crap that slows down and uglifies the kernel.
4883 2011-05-19 20:29:48 <Namegduf> What you're asking for would not let you run the latest
4884 2011-05-19 20:29:56 <gjs278> yes it would
4885 2011-05-19 20:30:02 <Namegduf> It would just stop anyone else from having a good new version, too
4886 2011-05-19 20:30:08 <gjs278> no it wouldnt
4887 2011-05-19 20:30:12 <ersi> But he doesn't want good
4888 2011-05-19 20:30:13 <phantomcircuit> Namegduf, you realize that the BKL is only used where absolutely necessary right?
4889 2011-05-19 20:30:13 <lupine_85> that a single binary-only driver *still* depends on a feature that's been deprecated for years is not a good reason to keep the feature
4890 2011-05-19 20:30:16 <lupine_85> well, anti-feature
4891 2011-05-19 20:30:25 <Namegduf> phantomcircuit: It's not used at all anymore. It's been patched out. Thus his complaint.
4892 2011-05-19 20:30:33 traviscj has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
4893 2011-05-19 20:30:36 <lupine_85> BKL is unnecessary everywhere :)
4894 2011-05-19 20:30:36 <Namegduf> phantomcircuit: It has to be checked everywhere that accesses stuff that might be locked, though.
4895 2011-05-19 20:30:40 <lupine_85> including the ATi drivers
4896 2011-05-19 20:30:41 <gjs278> that a single binary driver that is used by every ati card to do 3d still depends on a feature is plenty of reason to keep it
4897 2011-05-19 20:30:48 <Namegduf> Nope.
4898 2011-05-19 20:30:52 <lupine_85> gjs278, not to a kernel developer, it isn't
4899 2011-05-19 20:30:59 <lupine_85> video drivers barely register to most of them
4900 2011-05-19 20:31:02 <wumpus> kernel developers don't care about closed source binary drivers
4901 2011-05-19 20:31:05 <JFK911> gjs278: that's what microsoft might do
4902 2011-05-19 20:31:10 <Namegduf> Linux is used on many systems everywhere; embedded, servers, etc.
4903 2011-05-19 20:31:10 <lupine_85> and rightly so - they've got more important things to worry about
4904 2011-05-19 20:31:12 <gjs278> yes they do
4905 2011-05-19 20:31:18 <lupine_85> *barely* *registers*
4906 2011-05-19 20:31:21 <Namegduf> Desktop use is only a little bit of it, and fglrx only a small part of that.
4907 2011-05-19 20:31:22 <lupine_85> people need to read more LWN
4908 2011-05-19 20:31:29 <wumpus> exactly lupine_85
4909 2011-05-19 20:31:42 <Namegduf> Your shitty driver relying on long obsoleted stuff which was a horrible design fault
4910 2011-05-19 20:31:52 <Namegduf> Is not a reason to not finally burn it
4911 2011-05-19 20:31:57 <gjs278> yes it is
4912 2011-05-19 20:31:58 <lupine_85> gjs278, you could always grab git head and do a git backout (or whatever they call it) for that one patch
4913 2011-05-19 20:32:01 <MrHako> Guys what are the possible reasons for an empty workqueue? I went from AGGRESSION=11 to 8 to deal with this and even set the queue from 1 to 3 on all 3 GPUs - problem still occurs
4914 2011-05-19 20:32:01 <lupine_85> since "it's the only one"
4915 2011-05-19 20:32:06 <gjs278> it is the only one
4916 2011-05-19 20:32:11 <lupine_85> then you'll be able to have your cake and eat it too
4917 2011-05-19 20:32:13 <Namegduf> gjs278: You need to put forward an argument beyond "yes it is"
4918 2011-05-19 20:32:19 <JFK911> Install Windows
4919 2011-05-19 20:32:20 <Pilate> MrHako: phoenix being buggy
4920 2011-05-19 20:32:22 <JFK911> Enjoy
4921 2011-05-19 20:32:27 <wumpus> you could start a big kernel lock museum even
4922 2011-05-19 20:32:31 <gjs278> you need to put forward an argument that killing support for every ati card is a good idea
4923 2011-05-19 20:32:38 <lupine_85> I can see several more in the shortlog
4924 2011-05-19 20:32:39 <wumpus> porting it to postiority!
4925 2011-05-19 20:32:52 <MrHako> Pilate but when i try DiabloMiner it also lacks output on one random GPU at some point too.
4926 2011-05-19 20:32:57 <Namegduf> gjs278: The kernel developers disagree that ATI driver support for a tiny segment of their users is worth holding up major design improvements indefinitely
4927 2011-05-19 20:33:04 <lupine_85> gjs278, the only things left using BKL were "features" like ipx and fglrx
4928 2011-05-19 20:33:06 <Namegduf> gjs278: So I guess for all you insist it is, it doesn't matter.
4929 2011-05-19 20:33:06 <gjs278> "tiny segment"
4930 2011-05-19 20:33:12 <lupine_85> crusty old drivers that *?nobody cares about*
4931 2011-05-19 20:33:12 <Namegduf> Yes, tiny segment.
4932 2011-05-19 20:33:12 <jgarzik> At today's exchange rate, the bounty for FOSS mining is over $3,100.  Post includes links to source code examples showing how to program a radeon with FOSS drivers.  Screw fglrx.
4933 2011-05-19 20:33:15 <gjs278> ati cards are not a tiny segment
4934 2011-05-19 20:33:18 <Namegduf> Yes, they are.
4935 2011-05-19 20:33:25 <Namegduf> Linux servers are more major than desktops
4936 2011-05-19 20:33:32 <Namegduf> Linux-based phones are more major than desktops
4937 2011-05-19 20:33:41 <Namegduf> Linux-based home routers are more major than desktops
4938 2011-05-19 20:33:44 <lupine_85> ATi cards not serviced by radeonhd are definitely a tiny minority
4939 2011-05-19 20:33:48 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: ping
4940 2011-05-19 20:33:52 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: pong
4941 2011-05-19 20:33:59 <wumpus> jgarzik: yeah, didn't AMD release the specs for their hardware? fglrx indeed doesn't matter
4942 2011-05-19 20:34:01 <Namegduf> And ATI cards using fglrx are a small minority of desktop usage.
4943 2011-05-19 20:34:06 <ersi> Fuck old ATi cards in the power plug
4944 2011-05-19 20:34:07 <gjs278> it really isnt
4945 2011-05-19 20:34:09 <jgarzik> wumpus: yep, open docs and open source
4946 2011-05-19 20:34:10 <lupine_85> and ATi will have their driver updated by the time latest kernel gets into releases
4947 2011-05-19 20:34:19 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: can we move to db 4.8 on 4.0 to match the osx/debian releases (as we are already breaking wallet compat. for ekeys anyway)
4948 2011-05-19 20:34:20 <Namegduf> gjs278: Reasoning?
4949 2011-05-19 20:34:22 <gjs278> any 3d support relies on fglrx
4950 2011-05-19 20:34:26 <lupine_85> because if your kernel version isn't in a distribution, your chances for support are minimal
4951 2011-05-19 20:34:29 <Namegduf> False.
4952 2011-05-19 20:34:29 <lupine_85> gjs278, not true any more
4953 2011-05-19 20:34:34 <Namegduf> (For a long time)
4954 2011-05-19 20:34:35 <gjs278> can I opencl
4955 2011-05-19 20:34:37 <gjs278> without fglrx
4956 2011-05-19 20:34:41 <lupine_85> nope, that's what's missing
4957 2011-05-19 20:34:43 <gjs278> ok
4958 2011-05-19 20:34:44 <Namegduf> That's not "any 3D support"
4959 2011-05-19 20:34:44 <ersi> I havn't seen someone this off base in a while :D
4960 2011-05-19 20:34:45 <gjs278> so do that
4961 2011-05-19 20:34:49 <gjs278> and then kill support for bkl
4962 2011-05-19 20:34:49 <wumpus> gjs278: then buy an nvidia card, they keep their closed sourcfe linux drivers at least up to date
4963 2011-05-19 20:34:50 <lupine_85> do it yourself
4964 2011-05-19 20:34:54 <lupine_85> you're the one who wants it
4965 2011-05-19 20:34:55 <gjs278> why would I buy a nvidia card
4966 2011-05-19 20:34:58 <gjs278> for bitcoining
4967 2011-05-19 20:34:58 <jgarzik> gjs278: yes -- see link I just poed
4968 2011-05-19 20:35:00 <gjs278> that makes no sense
4969 2011-05-19 20:35:02 <jgarzik> *posted
4970 2011-05-19 20:35:08 <ersi> I never wrote that
4971 2011-05-19 20:35:13 <wumpus> for 3d in linux it makes sense, not for bitcoin mining, but you were talking about 3d
4972 2011-05-19 20:35:16 <ersi> I wrote for drivers and graphics
4973 2011-05-19 20:35:17 <Namegduf> gjs278: None of that matters, at any rate. The key thing is that statistic minorities of usage do not get to hold things up indefinitely.
4974 2011-05-19 20:35:19 <lupine_85> you're suggesting the kernel devs inconvenience themselves for you, with no apparent reason
4975 2011-05-19 20:35:19 <gjs278> I have seen it
4976 2011-05-19 20:35:25 <gjs278> I hope it happens but until it does
4977 2011-05-19 20:35:26 Nes-asleep is now known as Nesetalis

4980 2011-05-19 20:35:30 <lupine_85> stuff that
4981 2011-05-19 20:35:31 <gjs278> it would be cool not to kill support for every ati card
4982 2011-05-19 20:35:35 ahbritto has quit (Quit: Ex-Chat)
4983 2011-05-19 20:35:36 <Namegduf> gjs278: If you object to that, I guess that's your problem
4984 2011-05-19 20:35:43 <ersi> It's way cooler to do it
4985 2011-05-19 20:35:57 Nicksasa is now known as AFK!~Nick@178-117-211-223.access.telenet.be|Nicksasa
4986 2011-05-19 20:36:03 <Namegduf> gjs278: Perhaps, but it's even cooler to keep updating the OS for its statistically significant applications.
4987 2011-05-19 20:36:06 * luke-jr glares at wumpus
4988 2011-05-19 20:36:07 * lupine_85 is within a whisker of being able to send version and verack packets using the bitcoin wire protocol
4989 2011-05-19 20:36:07 <lupine_85> woohoo
4990 2011-05-19 20:36:09 <gjs278> yeah
4991 2011-05-19 20:36:16 <gjs278> because updating the kernel to support 8 gpus was a huge indemand feature
4992 2011-05-19 20:36:24 <gjs278> imagine all of the people waiting for that one
4993 2011-05-19 20:36:28 <gjs278> why did they even bother writing that
4994 2011-05-19 20:36:35 traviscj has joined
4995 2011-05-19 20:36:40 <lupine_85> gjs278, probably as many as need the 256-CPU support
4996 2011-05-19 20:36:43 <gjs278> exactly
4997 2011-05-19 20:36:50 <luke-jr> gjs278: ATi cards work fine in Linux including 3D support
4998 2011-05-19 20:36:50 <Namegduf> Tthird party drivers are broken all the time, anyway
4999 2011-05-19 20:36:51 <gjs278> they dont just write features base don how many people need them
5000 2011-05-19 20:36:52 <lupine_85> which is to say, more than are inconvenienced by the lack of fglrc right now
5001 2011-05-19 20:36:54 <wumpus> gjs278: that's the risk of using closed source drivers with linux, they have no obligation to keep any kind of compatibility between releases
5002 2011-05-19 20:36:55 <lupine_85> fglrx*
5003 2011-05-19 20:37:03 <Namegduf> It doesn't stop Linux supporting the third party drivers
5004 2011-05-19 20:37:07 <luke-jr> wumpus: closed source forks of Linux*
5005 2011-05-19 20:37:09 <lupine_85> the vast majority of people using fglrx are on 2.6.35 *or earlier*
5006 2011-05-19 20:37:21 <Namegduf> It just means those people can't run bleeding edge kernels.
5007 2011-05-19 20:37:24 <luke-jr> Namegduf: they're illegal, why would Linux developers want to support something infringing on their copyright?
5008 2011-05-19 20:37:25 <Namegduf> Until the driver catches up.
5009 2011-05-19 20:37:29 <lupine_85> by the time people get around to using 2.6.38+, fglrx will be fixed
5010 2011-05-19 20:37:31 <gjs278> anything less than .38 doesnt have the scheduling changes
5011 2011-05-19 20:37:34 <gjs278> well
5012 2011-05-19 20:37:37 <wumpus> luke-jr: yeah
5013 2011-05-19 20:37:40 <lupine_85> the kernel devs have given the ATi devs no choice but to fix it
5014 2011-05-19 20:37:41 <gjs278> 11.5 was released not too long ago
5015 2011-05-19 20:37:49 <gjs278> there's on reason to do that
5016 2011-05-19 20:37:54 <luke-jr> go Intel
5017 2011-05-19 20:37:57 <lupine_85> if they'd left it in, the ATi guys wouldn't be fixing it
5018 2011-05-19 20:38:00 <luke-jr> Intel GPUs are the best for 3D in Linux
5019 2011-05-19 20:38:03 <gjs278> they are
5020 2011-05-19 20:38:05 <luke-jr> the new ones that is
5021 2011-05-19 20:38:18 <wumpus> they're slow though
5022 2011-05-19 20:38:21 <luke-jr> nope
5023 2011-05-19 20:38:25 <luke-jr> faster than any nvidia or ATi
5024 2011-05-19 20:38:34 <wumpus> compared to mid/high end cards of other companies
5025 2011-05-19 20:38:36 <gjs278> I was able to play doom3 on an intel gpu before
5026 2011-05-19 20:38:50 <luke-jr> wumpus: Intel's current generation of GPUs beats nvidia and ATi
5027 2011-05-19 20:38:51 <Namegduf> gjs278: Then I guess you should ask ATI why they were replying on something which "is used to protect legacy code that hasn't been migrated to a proper locking setup yet"
5028 2011-05-19 20:38:51 <_io_> if you need any asp legacy code worked on atlas does nothing but legacy asp code work all day long every day for the man (and dongs)
5029 2011-05-19 20:38:57 <luke-jr> under Linux
5030 2011-05-19 20:39:07 <Namegduf> *relying on
5031 2011-05-19 20:39:11 <wumpus> luke-jr: do you have any source for that?
5032 2011-05-19 20:39:27 <luke-jr> wumpus: sure, personal experience plus benchmarks online
5033 2011-05-19 20:39:33 <wumpus> intel is pretty okay, but only as far as embedded gpus go
5034 2011-05-19 20:39:36 <luke-jr> on Windows, obviously nvidia/ATi win
5035 2011-05-19 20:39:40 <luke-jr> but on Linux, Intel beats them both
5036 2011-05-19 20:39:43 <wumpus> nvidia and ati beat the shit out of intel
5037 2011-05-19 20:39:48 <luke-jr> wumpus: I'm not talking about the old crap
5038 2011-05-19 20:39:53 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: hmm
5039 2011-05-19 20:39:55 <luke-jr> just the new Sandy Bridge APUs
5040 2011-05-19 20:39:56 <wumpus> with more high end cards
5041 2011-05-19 20:40:00 <Namegduf> luke-jr: Link to the benchmarks?
5042 2011-05-19 20:40:02 <wumpus> do you see anyone mining on intel gpus?
5043 2011-05-19 20:40:03 <ArtForzZz> luke-jr: doing what? drawing a single flat triangle?
5044 2011-05-19 20:40:06 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: I admit I have not thought through db4 upgrade issues
5045 2011-05-19 20:40:09 <wumpus> lol indeed ArtForzZz
5046 2011-05-19 20:40:12 <jrmithdobbs> wumpus: they suck for mining
5047 2011-05-19 20:40:15 <luke-jr> Namegduf: somewhere on http://phoronix.com/
5048 2011-05-19 20:40:17 <lupine_85> sounds like atlas has a crap day every day
5049 2011-05-19 20:40:22 <gjs278> o god phoroniz
5050 2011-05-19 20:40:25 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: I've been using > 4.8 for some time (db 5.0 on Fedora 14)
5051 2011-05-19 20:40:28 <ArtForzZz> moronix benchmarks... ugh.
5052 2011-05-19 20:40:41 <gjs278> they have the article that claims the power consumption is still broken on liux
5053 2011-05-19 20:40:44 <Namegduf> luke-jr: Phoronix results on Linux are known for their... tempermentality
5054 2011-05-19 20:40:49 <jrmithdobbs> wumpus: opencl impl isn't there yet
5055 2011-05-19 20:40:53 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: ignoring logs, do we know what database data structures changed?
5056 2011-05-19 20:40:55 <Namegduf> They vary, a lot.
5057 2011-05-19 20:40:57 <wumpus> they probably only used the open source drivers
5058 2011-05-19 20:40:58 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: I only ask because the osx builds already use db4.8, as do the debian official ones...I dont really want to go to 5.0 yet as many distros dont have it in packages
5059 2011-05-19 20:41:05 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: db_upgrade or DB_UPGRADE should work for most folks

5061 2011-05-19 20:41:16 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: only logs change between 4.7 and .8, but between 4.X and 5.0 db structure has ahcnged
5062 2011-05-19 20:41:20 <lupine_85> lack of backward compatibility makes me sad :(
5063 2011-05-19 20:41:21 <BlueMatt> changed*
5064 2011-05-19 20:41:27 <luke-jr> wumpus: warez don't count
5065 2011-05-19 20:41:34 <ArtForzZz> luke-jr: in that case, intel gets 0 score, as any other GPU

5067 2011-05-19 20:41:37 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: well, overall user experience is more important than picking one version to rule them all -- because as you see in the field, people use varying versions anyway
5068 2011-05-19 20:41:40 <ArtForzZz> X11 is not linux
5069 2011-05-19 20:41:53 <luke-jr> ArtForzZz: I'm ignoring you until you stop trolling

5072 2011-05-19 20:42:22 <wumpus> linux is killing X11
5073 2011-05-19 20:42:31 <jrmithdobbs> X11 killed itself long ago

5077 2011-05-19 20:43:13 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: true, but as long as we are doing our own builds (I hope its only important for win32 sometime in the future) we should chose one...IMHO using the same on everything for wallet portability would be nice, so 4.8 is IMHO the one to chose...
5078 2011-05-19 20:43:24 <BlueMatt> (at least for win)
5079 2011-05-19 20:43:46 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: so far I cannot find a flaw in your logic :)
5080 2011-05-19 20:43:50 <jgarzik> maybe I just need more Pepsi
5081 2011-05-19 20:44:02 <BlueMatt> lol, ok well we've still got a while before 0.4.0 anyway so...
5082 2011-05-19 20:44:30 <BlueMatt> just something to think about
5083 2011-05-19 20:44:44 <lupine_85> I dunno, isn't Xorg getting better - slowly?
5084 2011-05-19 20:44:47 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: maybe open an issue and/or forum post?
5085 2011-05-19 20:44:55 <lupine_85> it's not like the Y server is getting anywhere
5086 2011-05-19 20:44:55 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: will do
5087 2011-05-19 20:44:58 <jgarzik> BlueMatt: something that should be discussed outside #bitcoin-dev, I would think
5088 2011-05-19 20:44:59 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, in fits and spurts
5089 2011-05-19 20:45:12 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: fair enough
5090 2011-05-19 20:45:39 <HaltingState> Need Community Response: People on Quora are misleading people about bitcoin.  Adam is claiming that bitcoin is a bank and will fail in a bank run collapse scenario.  We need people to downvote his answer and mark it not helpful and upvote pro-bitcoin answers http://www.quora.com/Bitcoin/Is-the-cryptocurrency-Bitcoin-a-good-idea
5091 2011-05-19 20:45:57 <gjs278> anything to increase the value of these coins HaltingState
5092 2011-05-19 20:45:58 <jgarzik> HaltingState: try #bitcoin
5093 2011-05-19 20:46:21 <HaltingState> "Bitcoin is a ludicrously bad idea. It is a scam. A Scam. It is not a currency." -Adam Cohen
5094 2011-05-19 20:46:57 <HaltingState> 29,000 people read this article and its complete non-sense and is not factually correct
5095 2011-05-19 20:47:05 <lupine_85> cheer up
5096 2011-05-19 20:47:17 <lupine_85> at least people don't believe what they read on the internet any more
5097 2011-05-19 20:47:34 <edcba> we don't care what others are thinking
5098 2011-05-19 20:47:43 <gjs278> the longer it takes people to adopt the coins, the more you can mine for yourself at the start
5099 2011-05-19 20:48:03 <HaltingState> comon, it takes like 10 people and 5 second to mark his answer not helpful and bury it
5100 2011-05-19 20:48:05 <C4colo> so my previous statement is not correct
5101 2011-05-19 20:48:06 <lupine_85> incidentally, can anyone think of what an algorithmic version of a land value tax that could technically (not necessarily desirably) be applied to bitcoin ?
5102 2011-05-19 20:48:18 <wumpus> it's a scam!
5103 2011-05-19 20:48:18 <lupine_85> I've been mulling it over for the past couple of days but haven't come up with a working model yet
5104 2011-05-19 20:48:25 <C4colo> you must pass the new header each iteration so the noonce increment is included?
5105 2011-05-19 20:48:25 <HaltingState> a scam1!!
5106 2011-05-19 20:48:35 stahi has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
5107 2011-05-19 20:48:36 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, a land value tax? you mean taxation based on wealth holdings?
5108 2011-05-19 20:49:00 <lupine_85> yeah, pretty much. LVT is a period tax on the unimproved value of land holdings
5109 2011-05-19 20:49:05 <lupine_85> periodic*
5110 2011-05-19 20:49:05 <wumpus> if I got a bitcoin for every time people called it a scam, I'd be rich
5111 2011-05-19 20:49:06 eao has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
5112 2011-05-19 20:49:18 <lupine_85> so if someone builds a stadium nearby and the value of the land goes up, you pay more tax
5113 2011-05-19 20:49:21 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, no there is no way to run that with bitcoin
5114 2011-05-19 20:49:29 <lupine_85> (rather than collecting all that extra value as an unearned windfall)
5115 2011-05-19 20:49:32 <BlueMatt> jgarzik: https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=8988.0
5116 2011-05-19 20:49:48 <lupine_85> well, I'm sure there are changes that could be made to implement something similar, I just can't think of a workable schema
5117 2011-05-19 20:49:54 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, also that's a pretty dumb tax system, that would just simply be capital gains
5118 2011-05-19 20:49:59 <edcba> haha why would you spend your money if it deflates
5119 2011-05-19 20:50:01 <lupine_85> (and I'm not suggesting that said changes be made, I'm just trying to get a feel for how it should be)
5120 2011-05-19 20:50:05 <edcba> eating maybe ? :)

5122 2011-05-19 20:50:16 <lupine_85> phantomcircuit, it's so dumb that leading economists have been calling for it to replace the tax system in its entirety for nearly 200 years
5123 2011-05-19 20:50:21 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, the only way to do that would be to require people to register their bitcoins
5124 2011-05-19 20:50:54 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, yeah how do you value land without selling it in a market place?
5125 2011-05-19 20:51:02 <lupine_85> witih a valuer
5126 2011-05-19 20:51:06 <phantomcircuit> lol
5127 2011-05-19 20:51:14 <lupine_85> valuing land is a well-established field
5128 2011-05-19 20:51:32 C4colo has left ("brb")
5129 2011-05-19 20:51:35 <phantomcircuit> so an arbitrary government official decides the taxes you pay based entirely on what they think your property is worth?
5130 2011-05-19 20:51:44 <lupine_85> no, it's reasonably quantitative
5131 2011-05-19 20:51:45 <phantomcircuit> yes i know this is how property taxes work
5132 2011-05-19 20:51:52 <lupine_85> LVT is tax on the land, not the property
5133 2011-05-19 20:51:56 <lupine_85> like I said, unimproved value
5134 2011-05-19 20:52:16 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, so then they throw some shitty shack on it and bam it's improved
5135 2011-05-19 20:52:27 <lupine_85> yes, and you don't count the value of the shack
5136 2011-05-19 20:52:48 <lupine_85> you only count the value of the land, such valuation being a well-established practice
5137 2011-05-19 20:52:53 <phantomcircuit> there is no valid way to value anything but in a market place
5138 2011-05-19 20:52:59 <lupine_85> yes, and that's what they use
5139 2011-05-19 20:53:02 <lupine_85> oddly enough
5140 2011-05-19 20:53:10 <phantomcircuit> hint the most corrupt officials in the US are bar none property assessors

5142 2011-05-19 20:53:53 <edcba> anyway if they really trust their valuation you should have option to sell your property at that valuation to government
5143 2011-05-19 20:54:02 <lupine_85> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax#Assessments.2FAppraisals <-- not easy, but well-established
5144 2011-05-19 20:54:15 <lupine_85> and again, land and property valuations are two different things

5146 2011-05-19 20:54:27 <phantomcircuit> edcba, yeah but that would make sense!

5148 2011-05-19 20:54:37 <lupine_85> bitcoin valuations are the easy bit, anyway
5149 2011-05-19 20:54:48 <lupine_85> especially if denominated in bitcoins
5150 2011-05-19 20:54:57 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, true but you'd need voluntary taxation

5153 2011-05-19 20:55:07 <gjs278> also jgarzik BlueMatt you really should kill the coin generation. I saw a bunch of people online getting mad because they were running gen coins for up to two months now and not getting anything

5155 2011-05-19 20:55:32 <wumpus> it's already killed
5156 2011-05-19 20:55:36 <C4colo> is the message header a fixed-length or does it vary based on the number of transactions and other factors?
5157 2011-05-19 20:55:37 <gjs278> oh ok
5158 2011-05-19 20:55:39 <lupine_85> mm, the only hook you'd really have is for the network to calculate how much "tax" is due on an address at the time that address comes to do a transaction, and refuse the transaction unless the "tax" were paid
5159 2011-05-19 20:55:43 <gjs278> I saw it like two days ago... thats weird
5160 2011-05-19 20:55:48 <gjs278> guess they didnt update
5161 2011-05-19 20:55:49 <jgarzik> gjs278: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=8894.0
5162 2011-05-19 20:56:02 <gjs278> cool
5163 2011-05-19 20:56:06 <lupine_85> what happens with the "taxed" money to "fix" the devaluation "problem" is another question entirely
5164 2011-05-19 20:56:12 <jgarzik> C4colo: the block header is always 80 bytes
5165 2011-05-19 20:56:17 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, so you'd just have to get everybody to agree to a change in the protocol that reduces their holdings? uh huh
5166 2011-05-19 20:56:20 <lupine_85> (which I also don't have an answer to. some kind of redistribution, but according to what rules)

5169 2011-05-19 20:56:38 <lupine_85> phantomcircuit, I'm trying to work out what a technically feasible answer is at the moment
5170 2011-05-19 20:56:50 <C4colo> jgarzik, ok, so the noonce is a fixed length and wraps, what about the extranoonce value? is that a fixed size too?
5171 2011-05-19 20:56:53 <wumpus> that's like the crazy person on the forum recommending a block chain reboot 
5172 2011-05-19 20:57:07 <edcba> no it's unlimited iirc
5173 2011-05-19 20:57:11 <lupine_85> "what does it look like?", not "should we do it?" or "will people like it?"
5174 2011-05-19 20:57:23 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, you can keep track of the taxes due on a specific address and follow it, then apply the taxes when they're used like a sales tax
5175 2011-05-19 20:57:31 <edcba> anyway taxs have nothing to do with bitcoin
5176 2011-05-19 20:57:40 <lupine_85> well, I've been putting "tax" in quotes for a reason
5177 2011-05-19 20:57:50 dinox has joined
5178 2011-05-19 20:58:03 <phantomcircuit> also deflation is only an issue in mandatory currencies
5179 2011-05-19 20:58:21 <phantomcircuit> otherwise gold would have destroyed the world by now
5180 2011-05-19 20:58:25 <lupine_85> imagine it as calculating transaction fees due based on the number of bitcoins in that address, and the time they've been in there
5181 2011-05-19 20:58:39 <lupine_85> but giving the transaction fees to the block generator ?probably? wouldn't solve the problem
5182 2011-05-19 20:58:55 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, to do that you'd have to convince the entire network to agree to that
5183 2011-05-19 20:59:00 <phantomcircuit> which i doubt is even possible
5184 2011-05-19 20:59:03 <edcba> not entire

5188 2011-05-19 20:59:10 <lupine_85> I guess it might, if pretty much everyone were involved in block generation via pooled mining
5189 2011-05-19 20:59:14 <C4colo> jgarzik, the extra noonce is not included in the header?
5190 2011-05-19 20:59:22 <lupine_85> phantomcircuit, again, I'm doing the technical part here, not the social part
5191 2011-05-19 20:59:41 <phantomcircuit> edcba, no actually entirely, otherwise you end up with two networks, guess which one most people would use ;)
5192 2011-05-19 20:59:54 <lupine_85> (as it happens, in the UK LVT would vastly benefit the majority of people, and be in their best interests. just not the few holding the most land)
5193 2011-05-19 20:59:56 <psymin> hmm .. how do I tell bitcoind to shutdown gracefully? :)
5194 2011-05-19 21:00:04 <gjs278> bitcoind stop
5195 2011-05-19 21:00:07 <lupine_85> (I suspect a similar pattern would be seen with bitcoins)
5196 2011-05-19 21:00:27 <lupine_85> the majority of people would gain modestly, while a few would lose out considerably
5197 2011-05-19 21:00:32 <psymin> sweet thx
5198 2011-05-19 21:00:40 <lupine_85> but that's not too important
5199 2011-05-19 21:01:58 <lupine_85> the idea is to make hoarding bitcoins in an attempt to make free money out of new entrants less attractive than using them - loaning them, investing them, spending them, whatever
5200 2011-05-19 21:02:06 <jgarzik> C4colo: no
5201 2011-05-19 21:02:18 <lupine_85> which is precisely what LVT does with land

5203 2011-05-19 21:02:42 <lupine_85> (land and bitcoins have a lot of similarities on an economic level, as far as I can tell)
5204 2011-05-19 21:02:43 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, eh it's not a great plan, a lot of the people with btc have them specifically because it's deflationary
5205 2011-05-19 21:02:58 dinox has joined
5206 2011-05-19 21:02:59 <lupine_85> it'd still be deflationary with the addition of an LVT-alike
5207 2011-05-19 21:03:23 <lupine_85> but profiteering on the back of that characteristic would be reduc ed
5208 2011-05-19 21:03:49 <lupine_85> (and the number of people standing to benefit from such profiteering would be vastly outnumbered by everyone else)
5209 2011-05-19 21:03:57 <lupine_85> but again, I'm not actually proposing to make the change

5213 2011-05-19 21:04:28 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, again you'd have to convince the people with significant mining power to do that, and they tend to be the people who have the most to lose from such a system
5214 2011-05-19 21:04:28 <lupine_85> whether it's a problem or not depends on how many bitcoins you've got in storage ;)
5215 2011-05-19 21:04:35 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, so i dont think it's very likely
5216 2011-05-19 21:04:36 <wumpus> seems the big bitcoin bubble already ended anyway
5217 2011-05-19 21:04:40 <jgarzik> those darned profiteers, spreading bitcoins and strengthening the network.  darn them.
5218 2011-05-19 21:04:50 <lupine_85> those aren't the profiteers

5220 2011-05-19 21:04:55 <wumpus> let's hope the price stabilizes a bit
5221 2011-05-19 21:04:57 <lupine_85> anyone spending bitcoins and moving them around is doing good
5222 2011-05-19 21:05:12 <edcba> roconnor: so money worth nothing ?
5223 2011-05-19 21:05:14 <gjs278> nobody is "spending" them unless they're buying socks
5224 2011-05-19 21:05:18 <lupine_85> anyone hanging onto bitcoins and waiting patiently for the price to rise solely to sell them and profit out of that unearned rise is doing bad
5225 2011-05-19 21:05:24 <gjs278> it's all just trading up and up
5226 2011-05-19 21:05:25 <lupine_85> well, I'd classify it as bad
5227 2011-05-19 21:05:36 <wumpus> I don't think you need to add coins to reduce the price, it will regulate itself

5230 2011-05-19 21:06:01 <lupine_85> well, it's algorithmically regulated
5231 2011-05-19 21:06:01 <Namegduf> lupine_85: People acting selfishly shouldn't be able to do bad in it
5232 2011-05-19 21:06:23 <Namegduf> If they do then the system is broken

5237 2011-05-19 21:06:44 <lupine_85> the algorithm is democratically regulated and the market is algorithmically regulated :)
5238 2011-05-19 21:06:45 <AAA_awright> edcba: No, it's not democratic
5239 2011-05-19 21:06:53 <lupine_85> for a given value of democracy, anyway
5240 2011-05-19 21:06:53 <roconnor> edcba: it will always be worthe something
5241 2011-05-19 21:06:54 <wumpus> more democratically than the current banking system, at least

5245 2011-05-19 21:07:12 <AAA_awright> lupine_85: I wouldn't call that democratic
5246 2011-05-19 21:07:14 <edcba> it is since if you can convince majority of a change the change happens
5247 2011-05-19 21:07:18 <AAA_awright> But that's accurate

5251 2011-05-19 21:07:30 <phantomcircuit> AAA_awright, that's as close to democracy as anybody has yet gotten...
5252 2011-05-19 21:07:30 <lupine_85> it's like assigning votes to people based on their net economic worth
5253 2011-05-19 21:07:41 <AAA_awright> phantomcircuit: this may be true

5259 2011-05-19 21:08:13 <edcba> oh ok maybe not "demo" indeed
5260 2011-05-19 21:08:18 <wumpus> lupine_85: it's not like having more bitcoins gives you a bigger vote
5261 2011-05-19 21:08:26 <lupine_85> hence why I said "like"
5262 2011-05-19 21:08:29 <AAA_awright> IF it's democracy, it's more like North Korean democracy
5263 2011-05-19 21:08:36 <lupine_85> the simile is between computing power and economic worth
5264 2011-05-19 21:08:45 <wumpus> AAA_: who's our dear leader?
5265 2011-05-19 21:08:49 <AAA_awright> You don't really have a choice in the matter if you want to do useful things :p
5266 2011-05-19 21:09:02 <phantomcircuit> wumpus, no but there is currently a correlation between btc reserves and compute power (excluding satoshi)
5267 2011-05-19 21:09:06 <AAA_awright> wumpus: True, there's no central leader, just the precedent that everyone else is going with
5268 2011-05-19 21:09:19 <lupine_85> since we don't have any way of establishing identity online, computing power is probably the best we can do
5269 2011-05-19 21:09:34 <lupine_85> well, single identity
5270 2011-05-19 21:10:08 <AAA_awright> That's the biggest feature of the Internet
5271 2011-05-19 21:10:20 <AAA_awright> There is no way to have one person = one anything
5272 2011-05-19 21:10:35 <wumpus> doesn't matter which way you use to determine who has power it will always be unfair to some
5273 2011-05-19 21:10:52 <AAA_awright> It forces you to do things that are actually meaningful, like CPU power or economic wealth instead of one person = one x, as if one person is identical to another
5274 2011-05-19 21:10:55 <lupine_85> hmm, would it be possible to have a Script that says "you can claim these bitcoins now if you're X key, but if they're not claimed by Y time, Z key can claim them instead" ?
5275 2011-05-19 21:11:03 <edcba> maybe with some powerful captcha
5276 2011-05-19 21:11:15 <lupine_85> I guess I'm going to have to write a parser for that too...
5277 2011-05-19 21:11:19 <edcba> solvable by one unique differnt person for each

5285 2011-05-19 21:12:24 <lupine_85> mm, it's' just not doable to the kind of levels of assurance you can get in the real world
5286 2011-05-19 21:12:25 <phantomcircuit> because lol bugz
5287 2011-05-19 21:12:26 <wumpus> before you know it, it's so powerful it will rule everything
5288 2011-05-19 21:12:41 <lupine_85> there's no complete parser yet?
5289 2011-05-19 21:12:47 <lupine_85> that's a bit poor :D
5290 2011-05-19 21:12:55 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, there is but the script execution engine is shitty
5291 2011-05-19 21:13:17 <lupine_85> I shall have to work on getting that in my client as a priority then :p
5292 2011-05-19 21:13:25 <phantomcircuit> link?
5293 2011-05-19 21:13:31 <lupine_85> need $features++ if it's going to have any chance at adoption
5294 2011-05-19 21:13:37 <lupine_85> eh, no public code yet
5295 2011-05-19 21:13:42 <phantomcircuit> lang?
5296 2011-05-19 21:13:48 <wumpus> you're making a new client?
5297 2011-05-19 21:13:56 <wumpus> why not just help improve the current one
5298 2011-05-19 21:13:59 <lupine_85> it's not very interesting at the moment - it parses the binary protocol, and runs some skeleton code
5299 2011-05-19 21:14:18 <lupine_85> because the current one doesn't agree with me at all, and it probably never will
5300 2011-05-19 21:14:25 <jrmithdobbs> wumpus: c++
5301 2011-05-19 21:14:27 <phantomcircuit> wumpus, because it's a complete and total mess?
5302 2011-05-19 21:14:30 <wumpus> be different :P
5303 2011-05-19 21:14:33 <lupine_85> phantomcircuit, ruby at the moment
5304 2011-05-19 21:14:43 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, oh, carry on then
5305 2011-05-19 21:14:47 <wumpus> phantomcircuit: then help clean it up
5306 2011-05-19 21:15:05 <phantomcircuit> wumpus, i dont think you understand the degree to which it is fucked
5307 2011-05-19 21:15:08 <mtrlt> the open source approach: make a fork!
5308 2011-05-19 21:15:16 <wumpus> open source needs a community effort, not everyone making their own thing from scratch
5309 2011-05-19 21:15:17 <phantomcircuit> wumpus, there are global variables all over the place and shit
5310 2011-05-19 21:15:23 <luke-jr> jgarzik: jrmithdobbs thinks pushpoold is (usually) vulnerable to a DoS attack; I don't see any way to handle his attack better than pushpool does, but you know the code better
5311 2011-05-19 21:15:24 <wumpus> it's like the gamedev community :p

5315 2011-05-19 21:15:53 <lupine_85> that's a Good Thing
5316 2011-05-19 21:15:53 <phantomcircuit> like orders of magnitude easier
5317 2011-05-19 21:15:54 <lupine_85> promise
5318 2011-05-19 21:15:57 <wumpus> phantomcircuit: I know the source code
5319 2011-05-19 21:16:01 <mtrlt> phantomcircuit: a full rewrite is very rarely better than refactoring
5320 2011-05-19 21:16:05 <luke-jr> mtrlt: nah, the first fork just needs to be open to contributions
5321 2011-05-19 21:16:14 <luke-jr> mtrlt: then the original project dies out eventually
5322 2011-05-19 21:16:20 <phantomcircuit> mtrlt, yes that's generally true, this is one of those instances
5323 2011-05-19 21:16:24 <lupine_85> anyway, we have bitcoinj going on in the background
5324 2011-05-19 21:16:27 <wumpus> phantomcircuit: I'm also working on it, and I need to refactor some things, but I don't think a rewrite would be a good idea at this stage
5325 2011-05-19 21:16:30 <lupine_85> I've not actually paid any attention to it at all
5326 2011-05-19 21:16:36 <mtrlt> ok i haven't taken a look at the code though

5335 2011-05-19 21:19:27 <wumpus> well if you do it for fun that's always good, can't go wrong for a learning experience
5336 2011-05-19 21:20:10 <phantomcircuit> wumpus, each to his own
5337 2011-05-19 21:20:25 <phantomcircuit> bitcoin is actually not very complicated, you could never tell from the current source
5338 2011-05-19 21:20:42 <lupine_85> mm, the protocol parsing code I have so far is mostly a delight
5339 2011-05-19 21:20:59 <lupine_85> and the p2p side of things will be a simple state engine
5340 2011-05-19 21:21:16 <wumpus> the current source isn't really complicated either, just very messy
5341 2011-05-19 21:21:18 <lupine_85> I can probably share the same state machine for both sides of the peer
5342 2011-05-19 21:21:20 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, you parsing as a stream or reading messages and then parsing buffers?
5343 2011-05-19 21:21:33 <wumpus> like it was written in a hurry
5344 2011-05-19 21:22:01 <lupine_85> well, you *have* to parse it as a stream. you don't know how long the message is until you've got half of it
5345 2011-05-19 21:22:22 <wumpus> i guess that's very pragmatic of satoshi, better to get something out of the door than to worry endlessly about design details
5346 2011-05-19 21:22:40 <lupine_85> it looks more like a lot of it wasn't really thought about, so he just went with the details

5350 2011-05-19 21:22:56 <lupine_85> they just don't belong there
5351 2011-05-19 21:23:03 <lupine_85> *shrug*
5352 2011-05-19 21:23:09 <phantomcircuit> lupine_85, actually that's wrong there is a length field in the p2p protocol
5353 2011-05-19 21:23:22 <lupine_85> yes, halfway into the packet
5354 2011-05-19 21:23:27 <phantomcircuit> uh no
5355 2011-05-19 21:23:32 <ArtForzZz> no
5356 2011-05-19 21:23:44 <phantomcircuit> 16 bytes into the packet
5357 2011-05-19 21:23:46 <wumpus> lupine_85: you mean native endian? or always little endian on every platform?
5358 2011-05-19 21:23:59 <ArtForzZz> wire protocol is always LE
5359 2011-05-19 21:24:03 <lupine_85> it'd *better* be consistent across platforms
5360 2011-05-19 21:24:04 <phantomcircuit> 4 byte magic, 12 byte command,uint32_t length
5361 2011-05-19 21:24:06 <wumpus> lupine_85: the first is bad, the second isn't... as long it's always the same it's not a problem
5362 2011-05-19 21:24:09 <diki> i tried migrating pushpoold to mysql, but it doesnt want to start...
5363 2011-05-19 21:24:13 <edcba> if it was native endian we would have seen it very soon :)
5364 2011-05-19 21:24:37 <lupine_85> you can't even tell how big the header is until you've read most of it
5365 2011-05-19 21:24:39 <ArtForzZz> but hey, a BE protocol containing blocks/tx with LE values would've *totally* made sense, right?

5397 2011-05-19 21:27:36 <ArtForzZz> as you have move the whole damn thing, and adding/subtracting you walk em from high to low mem address, totally logical...
5398 2011-05-19 21:27:44 <roconnor> The bignums for public keys are also BE, though they are fixed sized.
5399 2011-05-19 21:27:52 <edcba> lupine_85: you have to convert then

5410 2011-05-19 21:28:59 <lupine_85> by my point wasn't that LE is bad, more that it wasn't thought about when satoshi wrote it. he just grabbed what was in system RAM and sent it across the wire
5411 2011-05-19 21:29:03 <wumpus> and in 20 years BE could 'win' again, and still no one cares :)

5417 2011-05-19 21:29:43 <pyros1> ?
5418 2011-05-19 21:30:01 <wumpus> sleep(100); /* sleep 100 seconds between hashes */
5419 2011-05-19 21:30:08 <ArtForzZz> edcba: well, then why is src addr before dst addr in the ip header ?

5421 2011-05-19 21:30:34 <ArtForzZz> if you want fast routing decisions, you want to know where to route it *to*, you don't care where it's *from* ;)
5422 2011-05-19 21:30:38 <edcba> to reject packet not originating from yours ? :)

5425 2011-05-19 21:30:58 <pyros1> ?
5426 2011-05-19 21:31:05 <wumpus> routing based on source address is indeed pretty rare
5427 2011-05-19 21:31:05 <edcba> ok i don't know where i read that maybe some BE fanatic :)
5428 2011-05-19 21:31:09 <jrmithdobbs> edcba: that's actually the answer iirc stevens properly
5429 2011-05-19 21:31:11 <jrmithdobbs> haah
5430 2011-05-19 21:31:38 <ArtForzZz> yet core routers dont generally bother with source filtering
5431 2011-05-19 21:31:42 <Diablo-D3> ahahah
5432 2011-05-19 21:31:47 <lupine_85> not for the crap ISPs, no :)
5433 2011-05-19 21:31:49 <oakland34534> ight im so confused on how to do this ah
5434 2011-05-19 21:31:50 <Diablo-D3> I just bombed jgarzik's hopes of ever being cool.
5435 2011-05-19 21:31:51 <Niedar> you could also lower memory or clock speed pyros
5436 2011-05-19 21:32:01 <lupine_85> we do, but I've no idea how much extra it costs in terms of CPU cycles
5437 2011-05-19 21:32:03 <luke-jr> does anyone have code to calculate difficulty in real-time?
5438 2011-05-19 21:32:07 <ArtForzZz> lupine_85: if you call the major backbones crap ISPs, then yes
5439 2011-05-19 21:32:07 <wumpus> i've made filtering rules based on source address in the case of multiple outgoing interfaces
5440 2011-05-19 21:32:12 <lupine_85> our core routers are vastly overprovisioned anyway. it's irrelevant
5441 2011-05-19 21:32:16 <Diablo-D3> luke-jr: uh, realtime as in every two weeks?
5442 2011-05-19 21:32:17 <luke-jr> ie, based on the last 2016 blocks, but not changing only every 2016
5443 2011-05-19 21:32:19 <ArtForzZz> otherwise, you do the source filtering on the edges, not all over your core routers.
5444 2011-05-19 21:32:23 <pyros1> vcore i set to 1.125 memory is 800, I'm runing dual 5770's
5445 2011-05-19 21:32:23 <Diablo-D3> oh
5446 2011-05-19 21:32:28 <luke-jr> Diablo-D3: no, like if it changed every block
5447 2011-05-19 21:32:34 <Diablo-D3> luke-jr: check the gribble source?
5448 2011-05-19 21:32:40 <luke-jr> the estimate is not the same
5449 2011-05-19 21:32:40 <pyros1> the -sleep(100) seems to have worked
5450 2011-05-19 21:32:44 <lupine_85> *shrug* we don't have edge routers

5489 2011-05-19 21:42:11 <lupine_85> I'm not sure gold *does* incentivize production and work in non-gold-related activities, as it happens
5490 2011-05-19 21:42:18 <gjs278> well
5491 2011-05-19 21:42:19 <gjs278> it did
5492 2011-05-19 21:42:25 <Cryo> are people who own the best production gold mines the richest?
5493 2011-05-19 21:42:31 <wumpus> MAHC: mining is a pretty lousy way to get bitcoins
5494 2011-05-19 21:42:31 <gjs278> if you got there first
5495 2011-05-19 21:42:34 <gjs278> and you had the best tools
5496 2011-05-19 21:42:35 <gjs278> then yes
5497 2011-05-19 21:42:43 <lupine_85> no, people used it as the exchange token for stuff they would have been doing anywa
5498 2011-05-19 21:42:44 <C4colo> the way bitcoin is design it will encourage pools over individuals as the computational power of the  network increases
5499 2011-05-19 21:42:52 <roconnor> running a mining pool on the other hand ...
5500 2011-05-19 21:42:54 <lupine_85> much like bronze axes and cowrie shells
5501 2011-05-19 21:43:10 <wumpus> MAHC: it's only used to create the coins, apart from that they are simply used as medium of exchange
5502 2011-05-19 21:43:11 <C4colo> because you will be less likely to solve a block on your own, but a large pool will be constantly solving blocks and sharing that with everyone who donated compute cycles
5503 2011-05-19 21:43:18 <lupine_85> you get a boost in activities supporting the currency, but i'm not sure the currency itself is too important
5504 2011-05-19 21:43:21 <lupine_85> as long as there is one

5510 2011-05-19 21:44:03 <C4colo> individual miners are not necessarily a good thing for the network ... they are flaky and sporadic ... pools can be relied on

5518 2011-05-19 21:45:19 <Namegduf> At present CPU mining isn't even incentivised; it isn't worth the electricity.
5519 2011-05-19 21:45:22 <jrmithdobbs> but close enough
5520 2011-05-19 21:45:22 <wumpus> yeah it doesn't allow sending negative amounts either :(
5521 2011-05-19 21:45:32 <XX01XX> it's not really "coin generation"... you're hashing outstanding transactions into the blockchain... and you get paid for performing that work.
5522 2011-05-19 21:45:34 <lupine_85> it probably should
5523 2011-05-19 21:45:35 <C4colo> jrmithdobbs, please correct me, I'm trying to learn this as fast as possible
5524 2011-05-19 21:45:44 <lupine_85> that'd be a really good way of implementing debits

5532 2011-05-19 21:46:58 <C4colo> the network will accept a fradulent transaction not based on a block if I let you host some rigs?
5533 2011-05-19 21:47:09 <C4colo> no, that's a common misunderstanding
5534 2011-05-19 21:47:11 <C4colo> colo = colorado

5539 2011-05-19 21:47:53 <jrmithdobbs> C4colo: anyways, you don't ever have to process any blocks to send transactions is how it wasn't correct
5540 2011-05-19 21:48:01 <C4colo> wrong
5541 2011-05-19 21:48:08 <C4colo> someone had to solve the block for my bitcoin to be valid
5542 2011-05-19 21:48:18 <C4colo> every transaction is based on some block in the past
5543 2011-05-19 21:48:32 <XX01XX> C4colo... but YOU don't have to hash anything to use that coin
5544 2011-05-19 21:48:32 <jrmithdobbs> C4colo: that wording is correct, your previous wording was not
5545 2011-05-19 21:48:34 <C4colo> so if I want to "invent" bitcoin I have to have solved a block
5546 2011-05-19 21:48:36 <C4colo> no question about it
5547 2011-05-19 21:48:46 <jrmithdobbs> the semantics matter in this case
5548 2011-05-19 21:48:47 <C4colo> if I received bitcoin from someone else that must have been generated in a block

5572 2011-05-19 21:50:51 <C4colo> first it is more than the "free" number I can generate so it would be invalid to begin with

5574 2011-05-19 21:51:03 <C4colo> and second, if I didn't solve a tranaction just invented a block the block itself would be rejected
5575 2011-05-19 21:51:10 <C4colo> because it does not fit into the transaction histor y
5576 2011-05-19 21:51:17 <MAHC> but the system created around it is
5577 2011-05-19 21:51:27 <XX01XX> jrmithdobbs... yes... unfortunately, you can mine without ever having to use the currency other than the TXN when you cash out

5589 2011-05-19 21:52:20 <jrmithdobbs> C4colo: that's where your wording is wrong.

5594 2011-05-19 21:52:49 <C4colo> you are the only one arguing
5595 2011-05-19 21:52:53 <C4colo> my words themselves said what I meant
5596 2011-05-19 21:52:57 <C4colo> you are arguing sometihng I never said
5597 2011-05-19 21:53:02 <C4colo> I'm correcting you
5598 2011-05-19 21:53:06 <C4colo> there is a difference
5599 2011-05-19 21:53:23 <C4colo> if you give me bitcoin and I send them on that is not "inventing" them
5600 2011-05-19 21:53:31 <XX01XX> jrmithdobbs... I'm not really getting your "ABSOLUTELY NOT", since it seems like the protocol subsisting on hashes required to enter txn would disincentivise mining for the sake fo FREE MONEY
5601 2011-05-19 21:53:49 <therap1st> uh oh asspie overload
5602 2011-05-19 21:53:58 <therap1st> of course FREE MONEY is what is driving bitcoin now

5606 2011-05-19 21:54:25 <XX01XX> No... free money is what's driving the mining... bitcoin doesn't seem to be doing much.
5607 2011-05-19 21:54:28 <HaltingState> ArtForzZz, how many logic cells did it take you to fully pipeline the full double SHA256
5608 2011-05-19 21:54:32 <jrmithdobbs> XX01XX: and when the block reward drops to zero what then? why would you at that point put that type of burden on txn creators?

5614 2011-05-19 21:55:06 <jrmithdobbs> XX01XX: that's the part you're missing.
5615 2011-05-19 21:55:09 <XX01XX> jrsmith.... if it's popular enough at that point, people using the service would supply enough hashes to operste the protocol

5620 2011-05-19 21:55:57 <XX01XX> jrmithdobbs... because those are the people using the service and supplying the hashes
5621 2011-05-19 21:56:02 <jrmithdobbs> XX01XX: what if i want to initiate an xfer from my phone? it needs to overheat and burn my pocket before sending a txn?

5638 2011-05-19 21:58:08 <XX01XX> This is the way it was originally done... so we're always going to do it that way.
5639 2011-05-19 21:58:13 <XX01XX> Go read the paper.

5643 2011-05-19 21:59:34 <XX01XX> jrmithdobbs... the idea in the paper is for bitcoin... not a general p2p transaction processing system.   Some of the design choices are economically motivated and make little sense.
5644 2011-05-19 21:59:43 <ArtForzZz> HaltingState: err.. what?
5645 2011-05-19 21:59:54 <Cryo> how many confirmations does a transaction... get/need?

5649 2011-05-19 22:00:26 <jrmithdobbs> XX01XX: lets put your concept into the frame of a classic cc network to make you understand
5650 2011-05-19 22:00:59 <jrmithdobbs> XX01XX: what you're proposing would be like requiring every cc holder to estasblish, run, and verify correctness of their own fraud department before being able to make a purchase
5651 2011-05-19 22:01:11 <lupine_85> does the canonical client get blocks from multiple different peers simultaneously?
5652 2011-05-19 22:01:20 <jrmithdobbs> XX01XX: do you see why this is bad? noone would use ccs if that were the case.

5656 2011-05-19 22:02:36 <jrmithdobbs> XX01XX: every traditional money xfer system puts the burden of work on the processors and the receivers, NOT the purchasers

5784 2011-05-19 23:16:18 <erbs> more hour you wait then go

5792 2011-05-19 23:17:05 <erbs> theres an easy way to compress the block chain
5793 2011-05-19 23:17:15 <Guest38043> how?
5794 2011-05-19 23:17:26 <lfm> your almost there now anyway
5795 2011-05-19 23:17:35 <erbs> if you come across a public key that has been used before in the chain, reference it by its tx # rather than including the whole key verbatim
5796 2011-05-19 23:17:50 <erbs> that would require a slight change to the protocol but would probably halve the total space requirements
5797 2011-05-19 23:18:09 <phantomcircuit> uh
5798 2011-05-19 23:18:12 <phantomcircuit> no you cant do that
5799 2011-05-19 23:18:17 <lfm> erbs not something just any user could do
5800 2011-05-19 23:18:28 <Guest38043> once i reach 125,169 blocks then will my client start mining automatically?

5802 2011-05-19 23:18:36 traviscj has joined
5803 2011-05-19 23:18:36 <erbs> yes.. requires a slight change to the protocol
5804 2011-05-19 23:18:58 <phantomcircuit> Guest38043, you'll need a gpu to mine btc at any reasonable rate now
5805 2011-05-19 23:19:07 <robthenob> anyone buying
5806 2011-05-19 23:19:12 <lfm> Guest38043: ya, but dont get your hopes up, you really need GPU and special software if you seriously want to mine
5807 2011-05-19 23:19:14 <erbs> but it would be worth it to do since the space savings are enormous
5808 2011-05-19 23:19:40 <luke-jr> erbs: it would break the block chain
5809 2011-05-19 23:19:42 Xunie has quit (Quit: Can God microwave a taco so hot that not even *HE* can eat it without burns?)
5810 2011-05-19 23:19:42 <phantomcircuit> erbs, the actual savings wouldn't be worth the increased complexity
5811 2011-05-19 23:19:49 <luke-jr> erbs: you can just compress the network/disk store if you want
5812 2011-05-19 23:20:01 <erbs> its not complex, and maintains the chain integrity
5813 2011-05-19 23:20:01 <lfm> erbs if it works, you havnt convinced me it would work right
5814 2011-05-19 23:20:05 <phantomcircuit> you cant compress the disk store at all
5815 2011-05-19 23:20:09 C4away has joined
5816 2011-05-19 23:20:21 <phantomcircuit> you can get maybe a 1% reduction in space

5818 2011-05-19 23:20:34 <erbs> nah it would be much higher
5819 2011-05-19 23:20:44 <phantomcircuit> lfm, it would work, it would simply be a find/replace
5820 2011-05-19 23:20:49 <Guest38043> what cool stuff do you guys get with your bitcoins
5821 2011-05-19 23:21:02 <edcba> whores
5822 2011-05-19 23:21:02 <phantomcircuit> erbs, run xz against the bdb files, you'll get MAYBE a 1% gain
5823 2011-05-19 23:21:04 <erbs> most commercial transactions will re-use the same keys over and over again.. each key is what several kilobytes? shrunk down to a 64-bit number.
5824 2011-05-19 23:21:07 <erbs> that is massive savings
5825 2011-05-19 23:21:29 <phantomcircuit> erbs, no most commercial transactions use a ne wkey for each transactions
5826 2011-05-19 23:21:52 <erbs> the same keys get used over and over

5829 2011-05-19 23:22:04 <Guest38043> is there a paper substitute for bitcoins that can i can give to a whore, just so she has something tangible to walk away with
5830 2011-05-19 23:22:21 <lfm> erbs nope, it wouldnt be, most txn even commercial use new address for every txn, it is the way bitcoin works best
5831 2011-05-19 23:22:22 <luke-jr> Guest38043: yes
5832 2011-05-19 23:22:31 <Guest38043> what?
5833 2011-05-19 23:22:32 <erbs> a business is going to maintain a small # of addresses
5834 2011-05-19 23:22:35 <luke-jr> Guest38043: but prostitution should be illegal, and even if not, you shouldn't do it
5835 2011-05-19 23:22:49 <luke-jr> Guest38043: http://bitbills.com/
5836 2011-05-19 23:22:55 <Guest38043> then tell me something badass i can get with bitcoins
5837 2011-05-19 23:22:59 <phantomcircuit> erbs, no they're not, there is no way to tell who sent you what without using new addresses (currently)
5838 2011-05-19 23:23:00 <lfm> erba a proper buisness would use new key every time I hope
5839 2011-05-19 23:23:01 <erbs> every address is going to be used multiple times
5840 2011-05-19 23:23:23 <luke-jr> Guest38043: offer it to the pizza guy?
5841 2011-05-19 23:23:32 <lfm> lazy sloppy buisness would reuse keys
5842 2011-05-19 23:23:32 <erbs> unless the coins disappear completely, they will be used over and over
5843 2011-05-19 23:23:50 <erbs> lol you *have* to resue the key if you want to use the bitcoins you receive
5844 2011-05-19 23:23:51 <phantomcircuit> erbs, the vast majority of addresses will be used twice
5845 2011-05-19 23:24:10 <erbs> phantomcircuit: nah much more than that.. but at twice its already a huge savings
5846 2011-05-19 23:24:12 <phantomcircuit> the space savings would be trivial comapred to the increased complexity of the storage
5847 2011-05-19 23:24:17 <jrmithdobbs> Guest38043: alpaca socks
5848 2011-05-19 23:24:18 <erbs> an index isn't complex
5849 2011-05-19 23:24:19 <jrmithdobbs> Guest38043: duh
5850 2011-05-19 23:24:41 <Guest38043> someone explain to me a get-rich-quick scheme with bitcoins.
5851 2011-05-19 23:24:42 <lfm> erbs:  ya receive once on a key and never explicitly use it again, implicity you use it when you spend it but that doesnt matter
5852 2011-05-19 23:25:00 <jrmithdobbs> Guest38043: start pool, skim off top, stop when people notice, cash out
5853 2011-05-19 23:25:04 <erbs> the chain can be massively shrunk by referencing the first instance of that key
5854 2011-05-19 23:25:09 <jrmithdobbs> Guest38043: or you mean something legal?
5855 2011-05-19 23:25:13 <luke-jr> lfm: not entirely true
5856 2011-05-19 23:25:18 <phantomcircuit> erbs, no but rewriting all of the scripts bit perfect is
5857 2011-05-19 23:25:22 <Guest38043> legal

5861 2011-05-19 23:26:25 <luke-jr> lfm: customers can keep their own keys private
5862 2011-05-19 23:26:32 <gjs278> well
5863 2011-05-19 23:26:36 <erbs> there's one major library that implements bitcoin. we are in a phase where new features can be added easily.
5864 2011-05-19 23:26:36 <gjs278> it's a lot better if the business does i
5865 2011-05-19 23:26:45 <gjs278> it's good it both sides do it of course
5866 2011-05-19 23:26:54 <gjs278> but a lot better if the business takes that step for them as well
5867 2011-05-19 23:26:58 <erbs> at some point down the line, when you have lots of implementations, burned into embedded hardware etc, protocol changes will involve some logistics
5868 2011-05-19 23:27:01 <phantomcircuit> erbs, trust me on this, replacing the addresses with references would be more complicated to get right than it would be worth
5869 2011-05-19 23:27:16 <erbs> theres nothing complicated about an index #
5870 2011-05-19 23:27:22 <lfm> luke-jr: besides which its easier to generate a new key than it is to figure out what old keys are really free to be reused
5871 2011-05-19 23:27:29 <phantomcircuit> erbs, also the p2p protocol can be changed trivially by anybody, you dont even need to convince that many people
5872 2011-05-19 23:27:36 <sipa> BlueMatt: nice!
5873 2011-05-19 23:27:41 <luke-jr> lfm: just use the same key every time
5874 2011-05-19 23:27:47 <phantomcircuit> erbs, you would need to rewrite all the scripts in every transaction and get it bit perfect everytime
5875 2011-05-19 23:28:13 <erbs> how is that different from anything else?
5876 2011-05-19 23:28:23 <erbs> obviously all numerical calculations have to be done error-free
5877 2011-05-19 23:28:32 <lfm> luke-jr: ok so if you have two customers owe you the same aboun to the same key and only one pays, they both claim they paid you, how can you tell which one paid?
5878 2011-05-19 23:28:42 <lfm> same amount
5879 2011-05-19 23:28:43 <erbs> that what computers do. they reliably add numbers together so you don't have to :)

5889 2011-05-19 23:30:04 <falafell> can somebody point me to some info on what exactly the mining process does? whats being calculated? 'it's securing the network' is really vague
5890 2011-05-19 23:30:05 <phantomcircuit> erbs, the p2p overlay isn't important at all, only that you get blocks/transactions, if you receive them by carrier pigeon that's cool
5891 2011-05-19 23:30:10 <lfm> luke-jr: once one has paid it is public, the second guy can claim it was his key sent it
5892 2011-05-19 23:30:16 <erbs> are you serious phantomcircuit? computers have to add number together and get the result *perfect* every time! that is so "complicated" !!
5893 2011-05-19 23:30:22 <erbs> lol
5894 2011-05-19 23:30:31 <luke-jr> lfm: the public key is public, not the private key
5895 2011-05-19 23:30:35 <erbs> what if the computer makes a mistake!!
5896 2011-05-19 23:30:47 <lfm> they cant give you a private key
5897 2011-05-19 23:30:53 <phantomcircuit> erbs, uh no but making the script rewriting work for the various potential script formats would be
5898 2011-05-19 23:30:55 <luke-jr> lfm: they can sign the email with it
5899 2011-05-19 23:31:03 <sipa> falafell: basically, a block is a vote for some transactions and a chain of previous transactions, the transactions in which you also vote for
5900 2011-05-19 23:31:17 <phantomcircuit> erbs, ill tell you what, write a patch for it and ill find at least one transaction in the block chain that it breaks
5901 2011-05-19 23:31:19 <erbs> phantomcircuit: no its not. its a simple macro replacement
5902 2011-05-19 23:31:22 <sipa> falafell: this process is made artificially hard, so that you don't have a flood of votes
5903 2011-05-19 23:31:22 <lfm> thet would require an unreasonable level of tech expertise
5904 2011-05-19 23:31:22 <phantomcircuit> erbs, im 100% sure you cant do it
5905 2011-05-19 23:31:40 <erbs> it breaks nothing. its a simple indirection
5906 2011-05-19 23:31:48 <erbs> you are confused about how computers work
5907 2011-05-19 23:31:51 <luke-jr> lfm: that assumes an incompetent client
5908 2011-05-19 23:32:07 <luke-jr> lfm: a good client can send the email for you
5909 2011-05-19 23:32:08 <sipa> falafell: and if people disagree, the chain splits, but the one with the most "work" in wins, as that can be considered to have more votes
5910 2011-05-19 23:32:14 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, who is this guy and why is he such a dick
5911 2011-05-19 23:32:19 <falafell> sipa, am i right to understand that it generates random numbers, but the number is only valid if it matches some formula?
5912 2011-05-19 23:32:20 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: ?
5913 2011-05-19 23:32:27 <sipa> falafell: basically, yes
5914 2011-05-19 23:32:34 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, is erbs someone i should know?
5915 2011-05-19 23:32:41 <sipa> falafell: the calculation itself doesn't matter much
5916 2011-05-19 23:32:44 <lfm> luke, what software does it? where do I get it?

5921 2011-05-19 23:33:22 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, ok then ill stop arguing with him about something im clearly right about

5926 2011-05-19 23:33:48 <falafell> sipa, if you can calculate with less effort then randomly generating numbers, it matters :)

5940 2011-05-19 23:35:40 <RenaKunisaki> that help isn't very helpful
5941 2011-05-19 23:35:40 <gjs278> you can't do that
5942 2011-05-19 23:35:52 <gjs278> in fact the second someone says troll while you are trolling, you have failed
5943 2011-05-19 23:35:53 <erbs> shrinking the block chain in half is a huge savings. especially given the growth rate of transaction volumes
5944 2011-05-19 23:36:03 <lfm> who wouldnt have dynamic pay system?
5945 2011-05-19 23:36:13 <lfm> whatever that is
5946 2011-05-19 23:36:13 <erbs> since each address is used on average 2-50 times let's say, you get 50% right off the bat
5947 2011-05-19 23:36:22 <sipa> falafell: the only purpose of the chain is ordering transactions in such a way that an agreement is formed

5954 2011-05-19 23:36:56 <erbs> compression doesn't do that since all compression algos use a *fixed window* when looking for patterns. that doesn't help you when an address only appears a few times in gigabytes of tx's

5963 2011-05-19 23:37:46 <erbs> your hostname is lame!!
5964 2011-05-19 23:37:56  is now known as Netsniper|!~kvirc@adsl-76-252-46-82.dsl.ipltin.sbcglobal.net|Netsniper
5965 2011-05-19 23:38:04 <RenaKunisaki> someone needs to fix gribble's PM handling? he always just says "not a valid command" when I say something in PM
5966 2011-05-19 23:38:12 <luke-jr> lfm: I know
5967 2011-05-19 23:38:13 <erbs> <phantomcircuit> erbs, also the p2p protocol can be changed trivially by anybody, you dont even need to convince that many people  <-- someone help phantomcircuit out.. he can't stop trolling
5968 2011-05-19 23:38:16 <phantomcircuit> erbs, hmm rDNS shoudl be on
5969 2011-05-19 23:38:19 <phantomcircuit> strange
5970 2011-05-19 23:38:20 <falafell> sipa, what does it mean when a 'hash becomes low enough'..?
5971 2011-05-19 23:38:34 <erbs> phantomcircuit: tell my shell company. who cares?
5972 2011-05-19 23:38:39 <C4away> so python-pyopencl is only available in ubuntu 10.10 ?
5973 2011-05-19 23:38:42 <luke-jr> actually, I would love a client that showed me each coin in my wallet with a visible size and let me pick which ones to use by hand :P
5974 2011-05-19 23:38:52 <gjs278> I want to be able to print out my coins
5975 2011-05-19 23:38:54 <sipa> falafell: sha256 turns a string of bytes into a 256-bit vector - interpret that vector as a number, and compare it with the 'target'
5976 2011-05-19 23:38:54 <lfm> erbs you ever consider he didnt make up that hostname?
5977 2011-05-19 23:38:55 <gjs278> and ocr scan them back in
5978 2011-05-19 23:38:55 <erbs> phantomcircuit: lets see you trivially change the protocol

5990 2011-05-19 23:39:50 <winsomecowboy> not bot

5992 2011-05-19 23:40:05 <lfm> erbs: true, too much to read and try to write some replies too
5993 2011-05-19 23:40:39 <phantomcircuit> erbs, sure unless people use my client
5994 2011-05-19 23:41:20 <lfm> gjs278: what makes you say you're not a bot?
5995 2011-05-19 23:41:22 <erbs> think of why pgp uses a key server. precisely because its cumbersome (and space-consuming) to store the keys in every message.  the same principle applies to the blockchain - but instead of using a trusted server, you're just referencing the first tx where that key appeared. saves you tons of space
5996 2011-05-19 23:41:29 <gjs278> Ha, what makes you say I'm a bot!
5997 2011-05-19 23:41:32 <erbs> phantomcircuit: thats not changing the protocol. thats creating your own fork

6004 2011-05-19 23:43:21 <C4away> phantomcircuit, if a block or transaction is sent to the network that doesn't follow the protocol rules it will simply be rejected
6005 2011-05-19 23:43:52 <C4away> it does not matter what client you use as long as the data it generates follows the rules of the protocol
6006 2011-05-19 23:44:05 <lfm> C4away: ecept in the universe where everyone changes over to his software
6007 2011-05-19 23:44:14 <C4away> haha
6008 2011-05-19 23:44:28 <C4away> yea, well, if you got 90% of the nodes to use your client that breaks the protocol yea, then the real clients would be pushed out
6009 2011-05-19 23:44:37 <C4away> but doing so would take a LOT of convincing of a LOT of people
6010 2011-05-19 23:44:52 <C4away> you might as well just start your own network on a different port
6011 2011-05-19 23:45:08 <C4away> so you don't have to deal with all the rejections of your malformed requests
6012 2011-05-19 23:45:18 <C4away> which I guess is where the conversation ended up
6013 2011-05-19 23:45:27 <C4away> so, don't mind me
6014 2011-05-19 23:45:28 <lfm> yup, create your own bitcoin competitor currency
6015 2011-05-19 23:46:08 <C4away> it is opensource, nobody stopping you right?
6016 2011-05-19 23:46:21 <C4away> except that everyone is using the real bitcoin so you and your three laptops could have fun with that
6017 2011-05-19 23:46:48 <lfm> and he really just need 51% of the mining power to switch, say like deepbit pool alone
6018 2011-05-19 23:46:48 <erbs> the federal govt. has released guidelines on dealing with a zombie attack: http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp
6019 2011-05-19 23:46:56 <C4away> the good news is that the difficulty would mean you can generate a TON of your own currency
6020 2011-05-19 23:47:11 <robthenob> anyone wonna buy 30btc
6021 2011-05-19 23:47:12 <robthenob> om me
6022 2011-05-19 23:47:17 <lfm> well cdc is just one dept of feds
6023 2011-05-19 23:47:19 <phantomcircuit> C4away, sure, but there is no reason that you couldn't distribute blocks over a completely different p2p overlay, so long as all the nodes remain connected in some way
6024 2011-05-19 23:47:21 <JFK911> sure $1/btc
6025 2011-05-19 23:47:36 <C4away> lfm,  but I bet convincing all of those people in that pool to use the new protocol would be difficult
6026 2011-05-19 23:48:28 <lfm> C4away: well if deepbit changed it would be a big unholy mess unless everyon changed

6030 2011-05-19 23:48:57 <C4away> ok, just making sure

6035 2011-05-19 23:51:10 <erbs> each tx of course uses at least one key that's already been seen. so you can immediately cut down network traffic by half by replacing the full key with the # of the first tx it appeared in
