  12 2011-06-08 00:05:58 <ewal> is this expected behavior?  I am trying to make an account "go away".  I call getaddressesbyaccount for the account and see 1 address.  I call setaccount for that address to switch it to the "" account.  I call getaddressesbyaccount again for the should-be-empty-account and I see 1 address still (a different one than before)

  83 2011-06-08 00:21:25 <gmaxwell> since people are reporting slush is down, my bet is that deebit crosses 50% again shortly.

  94 2011-06-08 00:26:00 <lizthegrey> I'm going to re-mention: 50% is not the critical threshold
  95 2011-06-08 00:26:05 <lizthegrey> 30%-40% is sufficient.
  96 2011-06-08 00:26:27 <lizthegrey> I saw the research that people in my class did on forking test block chains
  97 2011-06-08 00:26:45 <gmaxwell> With the current exchange rate the bitcoin client now has a higher "minimum transaction" than paypal. :)
  98 2011-06-08 00:26:54 <jrmithdobbs> haha ya
  99 2011-06-08 00:26:58 <lizthegrey> with 40% of the network you can fork within 6 hours iirc.
 100 2011-06-08 00:27:00 <enki> rofl
 101 2011-06-08 00:27:13 <lizthegrey> even with 30% you can fork within a day or two
 102 2011-06-08 00:27:35 <BlueMatt> lizthegrey: do you know anything about probability?
 103 2011-06-08 00:27:54 <lizthegrey> bluematt: yes I do indeed.
 104 2011-06-08 00:28:01 <jrmithdobbs> gmaxwell: i think the time has come to re-eval the min tx limits in place .... again
 105 2011-06-08 00:28:04 <jrmithdobbs> haha
 106 2011-06-08 00:28:11 <BlueMatt> then Im assuming you need to redefine fork the chain in a clear way
 107 2011-06-08 00:28:18 dr_win_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
 108 2011-06-08 00:28:26 <BlueMatt> fork as in make 2 blocks before net does off current block
 109 2011-06-08 00:28:33 <BlueMatt> or as in off block set at start
 110 2011-06-08 00:28:49 <lizthegrey> they don't mean fork from root
 111 2011-06-08 00:28:52 <BlueMatt> and then you need to define more than "you can after a day" to "you have x% chance of forking"
 112 2011-06-08 00:29:17 <gmaxwell> It's important to talk in terms of forking to what depth...
 113 2011-06-08 00:29:18 <BlueMatt> also, read the paper, it gives all the percentages of undo block x depth y
 114 2011-06-08 00:29:22 <BlueMatt> as that is all thats important
 115 2011-06-08 00:29:26 <lizthegrey> their presentation stated that they succeeded in forking starting from the current block and overtaking the non-corrupted network by finding 2 blocks to their 1.
 116 2011-06-08 00:29:31 <BlueMatt> as you will want to target a certain tx
 117 2011-06-08 00:29:35 <gmaxwell> if someone has 6 confirms ... you're sure as hell not going to reverse that without >50%
 118 2011-06-08 00:29:36 <lizthegrey> (this is not my research, this is another group)
 119 2011-06-08 00:29:56 <gmaxwell> A single depth fork is totally uninteresting they happen by chance all the time.
 120 2011-06-08 00:29:56 <BlueMatt> that doesnt corrupt the network
 121 2011-06-08 00:30:06 <lizthegrey> yeah, 6 confirms is still not feasible with any reasonable probability
 122 2011-06-08 00:30:08 <BlueMatt> they have no reason to attack on current block
 123 2011-06-08 00:30:16 <BlueMatt> they have reason to attack bock x
 124 2011-06-08 00:30:21 Sylph has joined
 125 2011-06-08 00:30:24 <lizthegrey> okay, attack starting from one block back.
 126 2011-06-08 00:30:38 <gmaxwell> They'd have reason to attack x back where X depends on reciever policy. And x is often 6 because thats how the client behaves.
 127 2011-06-08 00:30:43 <BlueMatt> well yea, you can do a fork like that with a fairly small percent after a while
 128 2011-06-08 00:30:46 <lizthegrey> I'm curious whether they'd be willing to post their paper to the bitcoin forums.
 129 2011-06-08 00:30:50 <BlueMatt> as block gen has stddev of diff
 130 2011-06-08 00:31:05 <iera> lizthegrey: yeah post it
 131 2011-06-08 00:31:07 <fizario> silk road is just representative of the world at large.. dollars are used to buy illicit drugs, bitcoins too.. that shouldnt be surprising
 132 2011-06-08 00:31:11 <gmaxwell> Yes, 1 block back you can fork without any hash power at all.. just put out conflicting transactions on the network and hope a natural fork gets you what you want.
 133 2011-06-08 00:31:30 <BlueMatt> lizthegrey: as long as its clear that their attack is pretty much worthless, as otherwise it will freak people out
 134 2011-06-08 00:31:53 <BlueMatt> and it will still freak people out
 135 2011-06-08 00:32:25 <gmaxwell> BlueMatt: there will be a rise of low credential academics attacking bitcoin with crap arguments sooner or later. The academic enviroment has so much pressure to do "new" and "exciting" things that worthless attacks will be published.
 136 2011-06-08 00:32:35 <lizthegrey> they didn't state the probabilities involved, just that they succeeded in their experiment (even with the weak goal) after N hours with 30% dishonest power.
 137 2011-06-08 00:32:37 <BlueMatt> yep
 138 2011-06-08 00:32:45 <lizthegrey> so yes, it would be good to see actual probabilities from them.

 142 2011-06-08 00:33:12 <gmaxwell> There was one academic panning bitcoin that someone linked from here a few days ago.. all the guys publications were in conferences that publish from anyone who pays the fee…

 163 2011-06-08 00:45:59 <plato> doesn't the first sha256 happen only some of the time
 164 2011-06-08 00:46:14 <plato> e.g. you hash the current tx list, then get it again in like a minute
 165 2011-06-08 00:46:18 <plato> but use that same hash in between

 194 2011-06-08 00:50:35 <lizthegrey> if they were careful with covering their tracks the site operators probably won't get caught
 195 2011-06-08 00:50:54 <plato> yeah about a month and a half back the silk road thread was discussing how to make it unfindable
 196 2011-06-08 00:51:03 <plato> hope for his sake he took the necessary precautions
 197 2011-06-08 00:51:07 <lizthegrey> but at the end of the day, it also might be possible that they have a programming bug that would allow the host to be compromised.
 198 2011-06-08 00:51:08 <gmaxwell> Tor hidden services aren't _that_ hard to track down either. Not for anyone that can issue wiretaps.

 200 2011-06-08 00:51:28 <plato> i think they're goin down
 201 2011-06-08 00:51:31 <BlueMatt> they dont have that much time to spend on silk road
 202 2011-06-08 00:51:44 <plato> they have infinite time and infinite money! don't you read the news!?

 302 2011-06-08 01:38:04 <iz> your local instance would have to have internet access also.. i'm saying run a http proxy on that machine instead of pushpool
 303 2011-06-08 01:38:46 <mercora> hmm

 339 2011-06-08 01:51:56 <anarchyx> this wallet thing is not very clear to me
 340 2011-06-08 01:52:08 <btc4beer> it's your crypto key.
 341 2011-06-08 01:52:09 <luke-jr> anarchyx: depends on what coins you had
 342 2011-06-08 01:53:00 <anarchyx> luke-jr: lets say i had 1000 BTC on the wallet.dat backup and i sent like 10 BTC in the meanwhile before i lost my data
 343 2011-06-08 01:53:27 <iz> anarchyx: the wallet has many accounts in it.. and your balance is a total of all the accounts.. every time you make a transaction, it uses a different address in your wallet
 344 2011-06-08 01:53:31 <luke-jr> anarchyx: depends on that 1000 BTC
 345 2011-06-08 01:53:41 <luke-jr> iz: addresses aren't accounts
 346 2011-06-08 01:53:51 <iz> oh yeah.. i mean addresses

 365 2011-06-08 01:55:21 <btc4beer> the block is everyone's safe deposit box

 367 2011-06-08 01:55:31 <btc4beer> the wallet is your key to your part of it, if you have a part of it.
 368 2011-06-08 01:55:50 <iz> oh yeah, KEYS is way better for an analogy
 369 2011-06-08 01:55:51 <btc4beer> and yet even that falls short.
 370 2011-06-08 01:55:56 <btc4beer> damn analogies. ;)
 371 2011-06-08 01:56:23 <luke-jr> inside the safe deposit box are silver COINS of varying value
 372 2011-06-08 01:56:31 <luke-jr> you could have just a single 1 BTC coin
 373 2011-06-08 01:56:33 <iz> anarchyx: so the wallet has 100 pregenerated addresses
 374 2011-06-08 01:56:40 <luke-jr> or you could have 100x 0.01 BTC coins
 375 2011-06-08 01:56:51 <iz> the main thing that will get out of sync between backups will be newly generated addresses

 379 2011-06-08 01:57:39 <luke-jr> you then melt it down, and produce two new coins: 0.99 BTC and 0.01 BTC
 380 2011-06-08 01:57:57 <luke-jr> you then put that 0.99 BTC coin into a *new* safe deposit box, and save that *new* key in your wallet
 381 2011-06-08 01:58:02 <gmaxwell> Yep I use the reforging model in my examples too.

 383 2011-06-08 01:58:38 <anarchyx> so you invalidate the old key?
 384 2011-06-08 01:58:41 <luke-jr> the only safety for backups, is that the "new" safe deposit box and key has a 100 box/key buffer
 385 2011-06-08 01:58:52 <gmaxwell> anarchyx: nope the box just sits around unused. and you keep the keys.
 386 2011-06-08 01:58:54 <luke-jr> anarchyx: no, it's still valid, but the clients today never use it for change
 387 2011-06-08 01:59:07 <luke-jr> anarchyx: you COULD create a client that puts your 0.99 BTC change back in the same box

 389 2011-06-08 01:59:20 <luke-jr> or splits it 5 ways and puts all but one back in the same box
 390 2011-06-08 01:59:55 <btc4beer> but since nothing is tying you to the old box, it's probably added security to keep using new addresses
 391 2011-06-08 02:00:06 <gmaxwell> or always takes all your coins and takes out the TXN and merges them all into one BIG coin.. for every send you do.
 392 2011-06-08 02:00:10 <luke-jr> btc4beer: it's also added risk, for backups
 393 2011-06-08 02:00:14 <btc4beer> unfortunately.
 394 2011-06-08 02:00:26 <luke-jr> IMO, someone *should* create a client that never creates new keys without you explicitly asking it to

 397 2011-06-08 02:00:37 <gmaxwell> The software could also generate all box keys using a master-skeleton so you wouldn't get the backup liablity. I'd like it to change to doing this.
 398 2011-06-08 02:01:16 <iz> anarchyx: however.. let's say you have an old backup of your wallet.dat.. and then you do like 101 transactions.. the change from that last transaction might go to a newly generated address that isn't in the backup wallet.dat
 399 2011-06-08 02:01:22 <gmaxwell> That would be the best of both worlds. Fresh addresses, but no backup liablity. .. Downside is that you need to totally discard your wallet if someone steals a copy.
 400 2011-06-08 02:01:34 <iz> yeah, i think gmaxwell's idea is excellent for the wallet
 401 2011-06-08 02:01:44 <iz> and it removes this backup problem

 646 2011-06-08 03:12:38 <Kireji> what are these mandatory fee errors I keep seeing people mention?   is there a wiki page that covers fees for too many small transactions?
 647 2011-06-08 03:12:44 Gekz has joined
 648 2011-06-08 03:14:38 <hacim> rusty: actually the command is 'bitcoind'
 649 2011-06-08 03:14:54 <rusty> hacim: then the synopsis is wrong :)
 650 2011-06-08 03:15:06 <Kireji> Most miners seem to implement this policy. So it's already happening that many free transactions are not managing to enter any block.
 651 2011-06-08 03:15:09 <Kireji> This is being discussed on other topics right now.
 652 2011-06-08 03:15:20 <Kireji> <--   quote from http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=3999.0
 653 2011-06-08 03:15:28 <JFK911> so what should users do about this

 666 2011-06-08 03:25:00 <rusty> hacim: more information on defaults would be really useful.  For example, -gen is the default.
 667 2011-06-08 03:25:25 <hacim> -gen is the default? i'm afraid I dont understand
 668 2011-06-08 03:26:00 <Kireji> hacim: thanks
 669 2011-06-08 03:26:03 <rusty> hacim: yeah... the verbiage needs work, and it reads like an advertisment.  Assume that if they d/l the client, they know something...
 670 2011-06-08 03:26:21 <Kireji> it appears the issue with micro payments still exists, but it's better
 671 2011-06-08 03:26:35 <Kireji> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fee  this is a good read
 672 2011-06-08 03:26:37 <hacim> i'm trying to send ~12btc and I'm getting that error
 673 2011-06-08 03:26:49 <hacim> rusty: i'm certainly open to suggested changes there
 674 2011-06-08 03:27:00 <jrmithdobbs> hacim: you have a bunch of tiny payments that were instant cashouts from a pool?
 675 2011-06-08 03:27:19 <Kireji> my understanding is that it is *not* the size of the transaction, but the number of previous transactions that must be pooled that cause the fee issue
 676 2011-06-08 03:27:41 <jrmithdobbs> yup. stop paying out so often from the pool
 677 2011-06-08 03:27:44 <hacim> rusty: what about just duplicating what is in the NAME section ("bitcoind \- peer-to-peer network based anonymous digital currency") in the DESCRIPTION, and moving what is there now to an ABOUT section?
 678 2011-06-08 03:27:49 <lfm> Kireji: theoreticlly you never need to pay fees. there are some problems with that tho. some versions of the software will insist you pay for some transactions. also transactions with fees have priority so free transactions are sometime delayed due to traffic levels
 679 2011-06-08 03:28:00 <rusty> hacim: "-gen   Generate coins /-gen=0 Don't generate coins"  Presumably the lattr exists because the former is the default?
 680 2011-06-08 03:28:21 <Kireji> lfm: in practice, are free transactions being delayed?
 681 2011-06-08 03:28:24 <hacim> jrmithdobbs: no, i received a 12btc transaction and am trying to send it elsewhere
 682 2011-06-08 03:28:44 <lfm> Kireji: sometimes yes, not sure about right now
 683 2011-06-08 03:28:52 <hacim> rusty: if you do bitcoind -gen, then you start generating, to stop it you need to do gen=0
 684 2011-06-08 03:29:20 <Kireji> or "bitcoin setgenerate false"
 685 2011-06-08 03:29:20 <hacim> rusty: so -gen isn't really a default, its more of a toggle on

 693 2011-06-08 03:30:49 <jrmithdobbs> hacim: you sure all 12 are assigned to the same address?
 694 2011-06-08 03:31:10 <Kireji> http://lwn.net/Articles/414452/ exaplins the fees will replace mining rewards in the future
 695 2011-06-08 03:31:37 <hacim> jrmithdobbs: they are all in my wallet and came from the same address
 696 2011-06-08 03:31:52 <Kireji> that the accumulation of fees from all transactions will be the reason to keep doing block calculations once the issuing stops or slows significantly
 697 2011-06-08 03:31:52 <jrmithdobbs> hacim: in the same transaction to the same destination address?
 698 2011-06-08 03:31:53 <hacim> rusty: well, technically bitcoind is a daemon and you speak json to it

 705 2011-06-08 03:33:05 <Kireji> addr.dat blk0001.dat __db.00[1-6] ?
 706 2011-06-08 03:33:06 <jrmithdobbs> hacim: and it's telling you you need a fee? are the 12 coins the only thing in your wallet?
 707 2011-06-08 03:33:18 <hacim> jrmithdobbs: yes, only thing
 708 2011-06-08 03:33:35 <Kireji> do any of them matter, or is only wallat.dat important to me?
 709 2011-06-08 03:34:14 <lfm> Kireji: the blk0001.dat is what we call the block chain and blkindex.dat is an index into it

 772 2011-06-08 03:47:25 <Kireji> I'm concered that if BTC become really deflated, 0.01 BTC might be a large resource
 773 2011-06-08 03:47:48 <Kireji> I'm not sure if I said that right

 906 2011-06-08 05:18:04 <Txyru`> that should do it right?
 907 2011-06-08 05:18:12 <lfm> ya I think so
 908 2011-06-08 05:18:32 <metonymous> is tehre a way to change an unconfirmed transaction to include a fee after it's been pushed? I don't know how many nodes have the tx yet
 909 2011-06-08 05:18:46 <metonymous> can an unconfirmed tx be revoked
 910 2011-06-08 05:18:51 <metonymous> that's my general question
 911 2011-06-08 05:19:19 <Txyru`> lfm, so if it was orphaned it will just disappear from my wallet?
 912 2011-06-08 05:19:23 <Txyru`> and not get any more confirms
 913 2011-06-08 05:19:55 <Txyru`> the strange thing is
 914 2011-06-08 05:20:04 <Txyru`> my testnet balance is >1000btc
 915 2011-06-08 05:20:09 <lfm> It might hang there with 0 confirms for a long time, not sure, either thet or dissapear
 916 2011-06-08 05:20:18 <Txyru`> why would that be when i have not yet had a block with 120 confirms

 920 2011-06-08 05:20:58 <jrmithdobbs> it has been particularly bad the last week or so
 921 2011-06-08 05:21:16 <kika_> jrmithdobbs: i see no such transaction on blockexplorer for my deepbit payment transaction why
 922 2011-06-08 05:21:29 <jrmithdobbs> because it's not in a block
 923 2011-06-08 05:21:44 <jrmithdobbs> if you've not even seen it over p2p there's no way it could be ina  block yet
 924 2011-06-08 05:21:57 <kika_> jrmithdobbs: weird, so ill have to wait the bad thing is that in past it showed on my bitcoin as 0 confirmations now it doesnt even lists it
 925 2011-06-08 05:22:10 <metonymous> kika_: that don't sound fun
 926 2011-06-08 05:22:14 <jrmithdobbs> wah
 927 2011-06-08 05:22:31 <kika_> metonymous: what do you mean
 928 2011-06-08 05:22:52 <metonymous> well, for my case, the gui didn't give me a tx id
 929 2011-06-08 05:23:00 <metonymous> so it feels like an orphaned TX
 930 2011-06-08 05:23:02 <metonymous> is that possible?
 931 2011-06-08 05:23:07 <metonymous> will my client resend reglarly?
 932 2011-06-08 05:23:15 <jrmithdobbs> yes and yes

1030 2011-06-08 06:32:42 <devon_hillard> key creation looks too quick
1031 2011-06-08 06:32:53 <gmaxwell> The operating system, plus bitcoin has timing code to generate more (only used on windows Ithink)
1032 2011-06-08 06:32:54 <jrmithdobbs> it's way too slow what are you talking about
1033 2011-06-08 06:33:26 <gmaxwell> devon_hillard: ecc generation is is faster than RSA if thats what your benchmark is.
1034 2011-06-08 06:33:28 <jrmithdobbs> devon_hillard: on unix systems (including osx) it comes from /dev/urandom and an additional seed from the current time at startup (pretty standard)
1035 2011-06-08 06:33:53 <jrmithdobbs> devon_hillard: on windows it also uses RAND_screen() and RAND_event()
1036 2011-06-08 06:34:08 <devon_hillard> are those crypto-strong RNDs?
1037 2011-06-08 06:34:26 <devon_hillard> *RNGs*
1038 2011-06-08 06:34:28 <gmaxwell> It feeds those things into a crypto-strong rng.
1039 2011-06-08 06:34:29 <jrmithdobbs> devon_hillard: and has a hacky way of kind-of-sort-of-but-not-really emulating /dev/urandom through some stuff the code calls "PerfMon"
1040 2011-06-08 06:34:47 <jrmithdobbs> devon_hillard: umm, yes, openssl's prng is "crypto-strong"
1041 2011-06-08 06:35:00 <jrmithdobbs> if it's not the internet is p well fucked
1042 2011-06-08 06:35:06 <jrmithdobbs> forget bitcoin
1043 2011-06-08 06:35:25 <devon_hillard> so why is RSA keygen so slow then?
1044 2011-06-08 06:35:28 plato has joined
1045 2011-06-08 06:35:48 <gmaxwell> Because RSA private keys need to be large (hopefully) prime numbers.
1046 2011-06-08 06:35:49 <jrmithdobbs> bitcoin uses ecdsa, ec uses much much smaller keys
1047 2011-06-08 06:36:08 <gmaxwell> ECC private keys don't have that kind of structural constrant.

1070 2011-06-08 06:39:49 <gmaxwell> devon_hillard: in any case, in the normal use of bitcoin there wouldn't be any timing data. Your sofware also does some fuzzing of its transmission times.

1089 2011-06-08 06:45:51 <gmaxwell> I really think it should switch to Key_INDEX = HASH(SECRET_BLOB+INDEX) The current behavior has cost people more money than people have lost due to wallet theft.
1090 2011-06-08 06:45:54 <jrmithdobbs> or fixed by immediately running getnewaddress rpc/clicking button in client after wallet creation
1091 2011-06-08 06:46:03 <gmaxwell> And enryption closes the wallet theft window a lot anyways.

1102 2011-06-08 06:47:59 <devon_hillard> are there contingency plans in case the crypto-primitives bitcoin is buint on are found vulnerable in the future?
1103 2011-06-08 06:48:04 <gmaxwell> 100 is enough that you can be a little lazy with backups, but not so much that you can be really lazy.
1104 2011-06-08 06:48:08 <jrmithdobbs> devon_hillard: yes
1105 2011-06-08 06:48:20 <jrmithdobbs> devon_hillard: they can all be swapped out pretty easily
1106 2011-06-08 06:48:35 <gmaxwell> devon_hillard: Yes, swap them out with the swap tied to a particular block number. Fairly straight forward.
1107 2011-06-08 06:48:37 <jrmithdobbs> devon_hillard: especially ecdsa since those keys aren't even used in the protocol
1108 2011-06-08 06:49:06 <jrmithdobbs> devon_hillard: the actual assignment of coins in txns is done by a forth-like script, it's not just a blink pubkey signing
1109 2011-06-08 06:49:10 <gmaxwell> jrmithdobbs: just would require a new opcode to change the signatures.
1110 2011-06-08 06:49:43 <jrmithdobbs> gmaxwell: not even that depending on what's being switched to if the disabled ones get turned back on

1113 2011-06-08 06:50:06 <gmaxwell> The hashes are a bit harder to change but are also probably less likely to generate an actually practical attack.
1114 2011-06-08 06:50:28 <jrmithdobbs> gmaxwell: if not efficiently
1115 2011-06-08 06:51:19 <gmaxwell> It would be interesting to evaluate the security of "weakened bitcoin" e.g. using MD5.
1116 2011-06-08 06:51:56 <mtrlt> gmaxwell: that's a good idea.
1117 2011-06-08 06:51:58 <gmaxwell> I don't think that any of the currently pratical attacks on MD5, for example, would be especially devistating in the context of bitcoin. Though I'd want to think about that more carefully before saying for sure.
1118 2011-06-08 06:52:11 <jrmithdobbs> theorhetically it'd be worse, in all honesty, i don't think it would make a practical difference for a few more years

1342 2011-06-08 08:17:29 <davux> 2 decimals is starting to be quite imprecise

1347 2011-06-08 08:19:18 <jrmithdobbs> davux: growing pains, noone thought there'd be this much interest this quickly i think
1348 2011-06-08 08:19:28 <davux> yup
1349 2011-06-08 08:19:48 <davux> i don't understand why there's a limit at all in the interface
1350 2011-06-08 08:20:01 <jrmithdobbs> well
1351 2011-06-08 08:20:21 <davux> moreover, the RPC interface doesn't have such a limit
1352 2011-06-08 08:20:22 <jrmithdobbs> until 3.21 you couldn't even see balances before two decimal places
1353 2011-06-08 08:20:24 <davux> only the GUI

1358 2011-06-08 08:21:41 <jrmithdobbs> davux: it was to prevent spamming lots of low-value txns and flooding the network with useless work
1359 2011-06-08 08:21:53 <davux> it was harmless, yes, but why was it a good thing?

1367 2011-06-08 08:22:43 <TheAncientGoat> This is bloody nitroglycerine
1368 2011-06-08 08:23:41 <davux> now that I'm into bitcoin I understand those clichés of wallstreet guys staring at screens and yelling in phones like crazy
1369 2011-06-08 08:23:53 <nathan7> TheAncientGoat: Nitroglycerin is a terrible explosive for a number of reasons.
1370 2011-06-08 08:24:36 <TheAncientGoat> nathan7: Heh, yeah, but I'm pointing out the parralels :P
1371 2011-06-08 08:24:55 <davux> is there any development being made on bitcoin client?
1372 2011-06-08 08:25:12 <nathan7> It's hard to get to detonate properly but will make a sizeable explosion easily when handled improperly.
1373 2011-06-08 08:25:14 <jrmithdobbs> davux: what do you mean? there was a new version like 3 days ago

1386 2011-06-08 08:33:52 <TheAncientGoat> You embed a micro bitcoin client, that only decrypts a file if it recieves a payment with the encryption key as a message
1387 2011-06-08 08:34:45 <jrmithdobbs> not a bad idea at all
1388 2011-06-08 08:35:43 <TheAncientGoat> Bitcoin could be a very good security measure like that, as you can't falsify permission without breaking the network somehow

1423 2011-06-08 08:47:55 <jrmithdobbs> Phoebus: your txns only require a fee if: a) you're using a whole bunch of tiny inputs and therefore create a HUGE txn

1531 2011-06-08 17:43:17 <gmaxwell> ∞ bits might take a while.
1532 2011-06-08 17:43:30 <kika_> gmaxwell: so you think the best asymetric crypt to protect a secret nowadays is ecc?
1533 2011-06-08 17:43:47 <gmaxwell> kika_: yes. Or use symmetric crypto…
1534 2011-06-08 17:43:55 <kika_> gmaxwell: i need asymetric
1535 2011-06-08 17:44:08 <kika_> gmaxwell: ∞ bits might take a while.<-- to encrypt? or decreypt ? to generate the key ?
1536 2011-06-08 17:44:30 <phantomcircuit> tippenein, means the tx wasn't sent to any node

1541 2011-06-08 17:45:00 <justmoon> that's the one tux runs

1543 2011-06-08 17:45:04 <tippenein> phantomcircuit, so will they ever be processed?
1544 2011-06-08 17:45:07 <phantomcircuit> yeah i know im using it to

1546 2011-06-08 17:45:25 <kika_> gmaxwell: i need it to be asymetric crypt
1547 2011-06-08 17:45:26 <phantomcircuit> or at least that's what it used to be

1549 2011-06-08 17:45:36 <kika_> gmaxwell: do you recommend ECC for this?
1550 2011-06-08 17:45:51 <mayr> can i start both networks (normal and test) with the same client simply by switching parameters or will it overwrite the blockchain?
1551 2011-06-08 17:46:23 <phantomcircuit> mayr, testnet gets put in a different directory

1734 2011-06-08 18:32:17 <midnightmagic> good lord, really? well. how about that.
1735 2011-06-08 18:32:28 <gmaxwell> gps_: probably more in people that just left it mining and forgot about it only to later erase it.
1736 2011-06-08 18:32:45 <benlake> ok so I have my data dir (wallet, block info) on a flash drive and I alias the bitcoin dir to it on OSX (0.3.21). Tried to use the data dir on linux with version 0.3.22 and it fails... tells me to run DB recovery... is a 0.3.22 OSX version comes out, is the same thing going to happen?
1737 2011-06-08 18:32:58 <spq> mtgox gets the fee 2 times, doesnt it?
1738 2011-06-08 18:33:07 <benlake> spq: so I hear
1739 2011-06-08 18:33:13 <gmaxwell> spq: yep.
1740 2011-06-08 18:33:19 <gps_> spq on the buyer and seller side
1741 2011-06-08 18:33:51 <fizario> are all the transactions standard now
1742 2011-06-08 18:33:56 <benlake> out of 421 people, no one wants to broach the dev topic I just mentioned? :P In -dev of all places
1743 2011-06-08 18:33:57 <fizario> i wonder how you can search for non-standard ones
1744 2011-06-08 18:34:01 <spq> yep - so its 3 * 39k
1745 2011-06-08 18:34:05 <spq> -3*
1746 2011-06-08 18:34:38 <spq> ~40k$
1747 2011-06-08 18:34:40 <gps_> benlake - i don't speak mac sorry.
1748 2011-06-08 18:34:58 <benlake> gps_: you don't have to speak mac, this isn't a mac issue
1749 2011-06-08 18:35:03 <gps_> spq: one day, crazy huh? money is definitely in setting up the big exchange
1750 2011-06-08 18:35:56 <gps_> benlake: at one time I remember there was an issue with OSX of the writing and where the data dir was. I don't have enough specific knowledge about what that was to help if that might be the issue and I've never seen the DB recovery. sorry.

1754 2011-06-08 18:36:16 <midnightmagic> benlake: worst case, you restore your wallet, and go back to a prior version, and spend your coins into a fresh wallet.
1755 2011-06-08 18:36:19 <benlake> hmm, maybe my statement wasn't clear
1756 2011-06-08 18:36:30 <gmaxwell> .21 -> .22 wallet worked fine for me on linux, for example.
1757 2011-06-08 18:36:44 <benlake> it may be an issue with the OSX client, but it isn't OSX
1758 2011-06-08 18:36:59 <gmaxwell> I don't think .22 changed anything with the wallet. But I'm often wrong.

1763 2011-06-08 18:38:01 <benlake> the error I get is: "program version 4.7 doesn't match environment version 4.8"
1764 2011-06-08 18:38:35 <benlake> not sure if .22 is "program version 4.7" or "environment version 4.8"
1765 2011-06-08 18:38:55 <benlake> I'd assume .22 is looking for a 4.8 environment and isn't finding it

1791 2011-06-08 18:53:46 <arienh4> Why would you base a contract on the hashrate?
1792 2011-06-08 18:54:03 <arienh4> The input of bitcoins is 50 BTC per 10 minutes, roughly.
1793 2011-06-08 18:54:17 <diki> when i find a block i will be rich too
1794 2011-06-08 18:54:24 <diki> let's hope 290 mhahs/s do it
1795 2011-06-08 18:54:33 <fizario> hps is a market signal that lots of ppl would want to bet on
1796 2011-06-08 18:54:33 <arienh4> I remember when you could mine a block a day using CPU.
1797 2011-06-08 18:55:10 <arienh4> Oh, yay. Now the BitCoin paper is going on about Poisson distributions and all kinds of maths I don't understand yet. :/
1798 2011-06-08 18:55:18 <errydayimgenerat> fucking transaction limits

1800 2011-06-08 18:55:19 <fizario> a miner would want to hedge his investment in gear by buying a put option on the fuure hashrate
1801 2011-06-08 18:55:42 <arienh4> The current deflation isn't going to continue though.
1802 2011-06-08 18:55:49 <arienh4> Not infinitely
1803 2011-06-08 18:55:54 <fizario> if hashrate goes up, he earns money from the contract to offset his loss of mining power

1811 2011-06-08 18:59:49 <arienh4> so, the amount of blocks after that one in the chain

1872 2011-06-08 19:25:34 <Blitzboom> all the government agencies have to do is shut down deepbit or take it over
1873 2011-06-08 19:25:42 <jeremias> why has deepbit so much computing power
1874 2011-06-08 19:25:45 <Blitzboom> they won’t even need to build huge clusters
1875 2011-06-08 19:25:46 <jeremias> is it easier to use
1876 2011-06-08 19:25:48 <jeremias> or cheaper?
1877 2011-06-08 19:25:57 <Blitzboom> 3% fee, but i guess it’s easy to use
1878 2011-06-08 19:26:02 <netsky> diki: any other ideas?
1879 2011-06-08 19:26:06 <Taveren93HGK> deepbit just controls the miners
1880 2011-06-08 19:26:12 <Taveren93HGK> that won't take control of the bitcoins
1881 2011-06-08 19:26:23 <Taveren93HGK> nor the bitcoin network
1882 2011-06-08 19:26:31 <diki> hmm
1883 2011-06-08 19:26:31 <Taveren93HGK> which is run by bitcoin clients, not by miners
1884 2011-06-08 19:26:34 <jeremias> well, if they would take deepbit down, miners would quickly find another pools or mine on their own
1885 2011-06-08 19:26:47 <Blitzboom> jeremias: i wouldn’t count on it
1886 2011-06-08 19:27:12 <Blitzboom> and this doesn’t factor a takeover of deepbit in
1887 2011-06-08 19:27:33 <fizario> so 3 pools have around 90% of computing?
1888 2011-06-08 19:28:09 <xelister> fizario: yea
1889 2011-06-08 19:28:23 <fizario> and that is a decentralized system....
1890 2011-06-08 19:28:45 <xelister> Taveren93HGK: ~50% power allows to manipulate shit. e.g. cancel already made and confirmed transactions

1899 2011-06-08 19:30:56 <ali1234> there are plenty of pools
1900 2011-06-08 19:31:19 <ali1234> the problem is that if you're not in one of the top 4 you will have to wait a week or so before you see a payout
1901 2011-06-08 19:31:33 <fizario> the current system is roughly equivalent to one where you have 3 trusted certificate authorities

1910 2011-06-08 19:33:28 <lizthegrey> the danger is that if btcguild or eligius or slush goes down, they will give deepbit a clear majority, and if deepbit goes down, there goes half the network's hashing power

1913 2011-06-08 19:33:45 <fizario> or they just decide which transactions to allow

1935 2011-06-08 19:38:11 <diki> so?
1936 2011-06-08 19:38:19 <diki> It's a usable pool
1937 2011-06-08 19:38:22 <lizthegrey> so 11 blocks in 12 days averages to ~a block per day
1938 2011-06-08 19:38:23 <diki> or so the admin says
1939 2011-06-08 19:38:45 <lizthegrey> and the pool took several days to bootstrap to enough power to have a chance of block-finding
1940 2011-06-08 19:39:08 llrcombs has joined
1941 2011-06-08 19:39:09 <diki> instead of boostrap, just say gather

1944 2011-06-08 19:40:13 <lizthegrey> *shrug* - I consider it to be a bootstrapping problem at least as far as pools are concerned - very few people will want to join a tiny pool so the initial going is difficult :)
1945 2011-06-08 19:40:29 <ali1234> yes, that's really same as what i was saying

1949 2011-06-08 19:46:20 <ius> Pardon my ignorance, looking at pushpoold, get_work and the reference python miner - how does pushpoold guarantee every worker is working on a different share?
1950 2011-06-08 19:46:58 <ius> All I see is the timestamp. Given there are no new transactions/blocks, and two clients request work simultaneously..
1951 2011-06-08 19:47:31 <ius> Don't they end up hashing the same data?

1954 2011-06-08 19:49:29 <lizthegrey> they pick a different nonce though
1955 2011-06-08 19:50:28 <ius> for nonce in xrange(self.max_nonce) <- The reference client starts at zero
1956 2011-06-08 19:50:32 <ius> Do the others randomize?

1978 2011-06-08 19:56:42 <ius> That means the only way to increase work availability beyond 1 sha-target/s is by varying the transaction data so the merkle root is different
1979 2011-06-08 19:57:51 <ius> Which pushpool doesn't do, as it doesn't know about transactions, it just gets a block header from bitcoind
1980 2011-06-08 19:58:03 <vegard> um, extraNonce is part of the block header
1981 2011-06-08 19:58:26 <jgarzik> no, it's not

1990 2011-06-08 20:03:14 <davex__> bitcoin-otc is inadequate for this at the moment.
1991 2011-06-08 20:03:15 <jgarzik> davex__: #bitcoin-otc
1992 2011-06-08 20:03:22 <davex__> needs exchange features
1993 2011-06-08 20:03:30 <davex__> bids asks, etc
1994 2011-06-08 20:03:34 <jgarzik> davex__: gribble is open source
1995 2011-06-08 20:03:58 <davex__> so, i think that might be a good starting point, just wondering if anyone's actively developing in that direction
1996 2011-06-08 20:04:09 <gjs278> it would need a central location
1997 2011-06-08 20:04:13 <davex__> no, wouldn't.
1998 2011-06-08 20:04:20 <gjs278> how wouldn't it
1999 2011-06-08 20:04:22 <davex__> thats what you don't want.

2003 2011-06-08 20:04:37 <gjs278> I never pay
2004 2011-06-08 20:04:48 <davex__> that's why feedback ratings have to be published alongside bid/ask
2005 2011-06-08 20:05:03 <davex__> along with maybe gpg authentication of some kind
2006 2011-06-08 20:05:15 BCBot has joined
2007 2011-06-08 20:05:27 <gjs278> bid/ask works when there's no people to deal with and a central place can accomplish it for everyone
2008 2011-06-08 20:05:38 <gjs278> if the bot can't take money from me then it's pointless I'll just deal with people
2009 2011-06-08 20:05:48 <davex__> but it's still less cumbersome.
2010 2011-06-08 20:05:57 <davex__> bitcoin-otc right now, still has bids / asks, but they're not organized nicely.
2011 2011-06-08 20:06:08 <davex__> at least, not last time i checked.
2012 2011-06-08 20:06:11 <gjs278> there is a ;;buy and ;;sell command
2013 2011-06-08 20:06:13 <gjs278> not sure what they do
2014 2011-06-08 20:06:17 <gjs278> if they do anything at all

2291 2011-06-08 21:24:42 <diki> oops...
2292 2011-06-08 21:24:52 <diki> lfm said [04:28] <lfm> hash/s = number of shares found/s * difficulty * 2^32
2293 2011-06-08 21:25:11 <gps__> got to love when you paste something else from the clipboard. at least it wasn't a password
2294 2011-06-08 21:25:16 BCBot has joined
2295 2011-06-08 21:25:16 <iz> difficulty has nothing to do with hashing speed.. think about it
2296 2011-06-08 21:25:42 <iz> difficulty is when you want to calculate estimated time to find a block or estimated BTC payout

2298 2011-06-08 21:26:08 <gmaxwell> iz thats how to measure the most likely hashrate from shares.
2299 2011-06-08 21:26:19 <iz> well.. so what lfm said is right also
2300 2011-06-08 21:26:23 glassresistor has joined
2301 2011-06-08 21:26:30 <iz> but for pushpool, the miners are submitting difficulty 1 shares
2302 2011-06-08 21:26:39 <gmaxwell> .999crap in most cases.
2303 2011-06-08 21:26:46 <diki> sure is
2304 2011-06-08 21:26:49 <gmaxwell> H=0 shares not difficulty 1.
2305 2011-06-08 21:26:54 <diki> i found a block at diff 1.999xxx though
2306 2011-06-08 21:26:56 <sipa> ;;calc 65535/65536
2307 2011-06-08 21:26:57 <gribble> 65 535 / 65 536 = 0.999984741

2310 2011-06-08 21:27:26 <diki> well the output of that formula is 0.1022222222222222
2311 2011-06-08 21:27:36 <gps__> so if you are finding shares at 1 like most pools are, you do shares found/s * 1 * 2^32 ?
2312 2011-06-08 21:27:41 <diki> it's a single workers(i.e me) for now
2313 2011-06-08 21:27:50 <gmaxwell> gps__: most pools aren't 1.
2314 2011-06-08 21:27:59 <diki> you do realise number * 1 = same number
2315 2011-06-08 21:28:21 <errydayimgenerat> what is it 2nd grade arithmatic in here?
2316 2011-06-08 21:28:24 <iz> he does, but he's asking about the formula for difficulty 1
2317 2011-06-08 21:28:27 <gps__> thought pushpoold was set up to accept difficulty at 1?
2318 2011-06-08 21:29:02 <ersi> diki: And if you change that number to the current difficulty..?
2319 2011-06-08 21:29:02 <mtrlt> it uses H==0 which is slightly less than diff 1
2320 2011-06-08 21:29:07 <lizthegrey> gps__: that's why you prefix all your passwords you're afraid of cut-pasting into irc or a shell prompt with /!
2321 2011-06-08 21:29:08 <mtrlt> like 0.99999something
2322 2011-06-08 21:29:25 <diki> oh...trying..

2325 2011-06-08 21:30:22 <gps__> lizthegrey: I know and my password keeper erases them after a certain time automatically. diki pasted an ip address when he meant to paste a formula
2326 2011-06-08 21:30:33 <gps__> diki, do you have a cpu or a gpu pointed at your pool?

2330 2011-06-08 21:31:10 <diki> it doesnt work iz
2331 2011-06-08 21:31:13 <gps__> and is the formula supposed to give you mega hashs or gigahashes?

2340 2011-06-08 21:32:12 <ersi> and you're basing the calculation on how many shares in how many minutes?
2341 2011-06-08 21:32:15 <iz> or just (N * 2^32) / 3600
2342 2011-06-08 21:32:27 <iz> 2^32 means 2 to the power of 32
2343 2011-06-08 21:32:37 <iz> not 2 modulo 32

2393 2011-06-08 21:38:11 <gps__> you need a rolling window of the hour.
2394 2011-06-08 21:38:23 <iz> N is the shares in the last hour only
2395 2011-06-08 21:38:26 <iz> not total shares ever
2396 2011-06-08 21:38:28 <Jesque> phantomcircuit whats a tx id?
2397 2011-06-08 21:38:33 <diki> of course
2398 2011-06-08 21:38:36 <gps__> your speed won't be accurate until you've contributed for an hour
2399 2011-06-08 21:38:42 <sipa> mikegogulski: you can upgrade the database format, but not downgrade
2400 2011-06-08 21:38:46 <iz> you are dividing by 3600 because that's how many seconds there are in an hour
2401 2011-06-08 21:38:57 <diki> it's probably because i truncated the shares table a while ago
2402 2011-06-08 21:39:02 <diki> so there hasnt been an hour yet

2405 2011-06-08 21:39:31 <diki> is the formula the same for the workers as well?
2406 2011-06-08 21:39:32 <mikegogulski> @sipa: It appears that an auto-upgrade occurred courtesy of Ubuntu on June 1. Today I restarted bitcoind and started having problems.

2408 2011-06-08 21:40:51 <gps__> for individual workers? yes it would be the same. just count the workers share for last hour, same formula
2409 2011-06-08 21:41:20 takezo420_ has joined
2410 2011-06-08 21:41:22 <iz> do most pools count all shares?  or only non stale ones?
2411 2011-06-08 21:41:26 <gps__> you can make it over the last minute, last 10 minutes, etc just take your pow(2,32) / x where x is the number of seconds you want to take the sample over
2412 2011-06-08 21:41:52 <gps__> individual workers you may want a smaller sample than an hour for the pool

2510 2011-06-08 22:04:07 <nathan7> this keeps annoying me
2511 2011-06-08 22:04:07 <sipa> you could sell the private keys that hold those coins
2512 2011-06-08 22:04:25 <iz> sipa: yeah, but nothing to stop you from keeping a copy of the priv keys
2513 2011-06-08 22:04:38 <iz> i mean.. buyer beware in that situation

2558 2011-06-08 22:20:05 <mikegogulski> @sipa: i was thinking of taking all of the pubkeys from the wallet and checking them against the transactions in the block chain. would that make sense?
2559 2011-06-08 22:20:54 <lfm> mikegogulski: the pub key is in the block chain
2560 2011-06-08 22:21:08 uppe has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
2561 2011-06-08 22:21:36 <mikegogulski> @lfm: I know, what I mean is dumping all the pubkeys from my wallet file (which may be corrupted, including its backups), and then verifying my own transaction history against the block chain data
2562 2011-06-08 22:21:44 <lfm> mikegogulski: and if you run the gui thats essentially what you have
2563 2011-06-08 22:21:47 <sipa> mikegogulski: i have a patch that does wallet import/export
2564 2011-06-08 22:21:58 <sipa> you can export and reimport, that will do exactly that
2565 2011-06-08 22:22:26 <mikegogulski> not running the GUI on this one, but i get this same info from listtransactions
2566 2011-06-08 22:22:27 <sipa> but lfm is actually right
2567 2011-06-08 22:22:48 <lfm> mikegogulski: you can also check addresses against the block chain with the blockexplorer.com
2568 2011-06-08 22:22:48 <mikegogulski> is the listtransactions output the same as the gui's?
2569 2011-06-08 22:22:51 <sipa> if you're missing public keys, those won't be counted for your balance
2570 2011-06-08 22:23:02 <sipa> so that means you'd see transaction with 0 credit and debit
2571 2011-06-08 22:23:05 <sipa> yes
2572 2011-06-08 22:23:14 <lfm> mikegogulski: It should be I guess
2573 2011-06-08 22:23:21 <mikegogulski> okay, i don't see and 0/0 transactions
2574 2011-06-08 22:23:43 <lfm> mikegogulski: do you have the full block chain?

2584 2011-06-08 22:24:38 <sipa> if you delete blk00001.dat and blkindex.dat, but keep wallet.dat, it will do exactly that... redownload the chain, and add any missing transactions
2585 2011-06-08 22:24:44 <sipa> lfm: all fractions are displayed
2586 2011-06-08 22:24:51 <sipa> since 0.3.21 or 0.3.20 iirc
2587 2011-06-08 22:24:55 <TommyBoy3G> yep

2593 2011-06-08 22:26:10 <lfm> TommyBoy3G: if you somehow got 0.00001 btc it would show you exactly that
2594 2011-06-08 22:26:12 <mikegogulski> @sipa: ok, that's what i did, and didn't get anywhere. is it possible for an orphan block to cause txs with few confirmations to get lost? from my reading on that today, i think the answer is no.
2595 2011-06-08 22:26:28 <TommyBoy3G> ppl will be scare to buy for 30 buks 1 bitcoin
2596 2011-06-08 22:26:43 <TommyBoy3G> but maybe not scare to buy less, just not 0.0001
2597 2011-06-08 22:26:47 <lfm> tommy so buy 0.01 btc for 30 cents
2598 2011-06-08 22:27:01 <TommyBoy3G> maybe 1 MC (microcoin)
2599 2011-06-08 22:27:14 <TommyBoy3G> lfm i'm talking about difrent things a bit
2600 2011-06-08 22:27:20 <topi`> the mbtc would be a suitable unit
2601 2011-06-08 22:27:21 <lfm> or buy 0.001 btc for 3 cents
2602 2011-06-08 22:27:28 <TommyBoy3G> about how atract more users

2626 2011-06-08 22:30:15 <Raccoon> i just reformat the output

2628 2011-06-08 22:30:40 * luke-jr grumbles at MtGox
2629 2011-06-08 22:30:52 <luke-jr> it wouldn't let me buy when it was cheap -.-
2630 2011-06-08 22:30:53 <mikegogulski> TommyBoy3G: actually the natural unit would be 1 n฿ or 1 nBTC
2631 2011-06-08 22:30:53 <TommyBoy3G> because usebility
2632 2011-06-08 22:31:03 <TommyBoy3G> its not fell natural
2633 2011-06-08 22:31:05 <Raccoon> it wouldn't?
2634 2011-06-08 22:31:14 <luke-jr> nope

2640 2011-06-08 22:31:36 <luke-jr> no

2643 2011-06-08 22:31:40 <TommyBoy3G> sipa yes, moving decimal is one of soliutions, but it should be done soon, then not much adopted, later it will be much hardet to move
2644 2011-06-08 22:31:43 <luke-jr> they're 'divisible' to 8 places

2646 2011-06-08 22:31:45 <lfm> mikegogulski: so why change it
2647 2011-06-08 22:31:46 <mikegogulski> oh
2648 2011-06-08 22:31:59 <Raccoon> personally, i was there were no decimal places with bitcoin.
2649 2011-06-08 22:32:02 <mikegogulski> i'm just shooting the breeze here, man
2650 2011-06-08 22:32:04 <luke-jr> if people want to rebase, UBC is ideal
2651 2011-06-08 22:32:07 <TommyBoy3G> mikegogulski yes, is default i 1nBTC
2652 2011-06-08 22:32:11 <GarrettB> luke-jr: for once, we agree :P
2653 2011-06-08 22:32:12 <TommyBoy3G> it would be more readable
2654 2011-06-08 22:32:17 <luke-jr> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Universal_Bitcoin
2655 2011-06-08 22:32:42 <lfm> you cant have 1 nano btc. 10 nan btc is the smallest you can do
2656 2011-06-08 22:32:43 <TommyBoy3G> and on exchange sites new users will not freak out about it
2657 2011-06-08 22:32:47 <Raccoon> it should have simply been a 2^32 value.  maximum market would be 4 billion BTC
2658 2011-06-08 22:32:56 <lfm> 10 nano
2659 2011-06-08 22:33:03 <sipa> TommyBoy3G: the smallest representable bitcoin amount would be 10 nBTC
2660 2011-06-08 22:33:04 <luke-jr> the smallest SI UBC unit is centi-UBC
2661 2011-06-08 22:33:28 <magnetron> urk, not again
2662 2011-06-08 22:33:29 <lfm> or micro bitcents right
2663 2011-06-08 22:33:30 <luke-jr> and the largest giga-UBC
2664 2011-06-08 22:33:43 <TommyBoy3G> sipa its great.. i think on upgrading software from old to new, can be some giu window to explain, to not freakout users too
2665 2011-06-08 22:33:44 <luke-jr> lfm: UBC would be a rebase
2666 2011-06-08 22:33:47 <mikegogulski> gief GUBC plz
2667 2011-06-08 22:34:02 <GarrettB> luke-jr: why do you insist on inane and unused numbering systems
2668 2011-06-08 22:34:05 <midnightmagic> luke-jr: That UBC chart lists an incorrect number of "maximum bitcoins ever"
2669 2011-06-08 22:34:09 <GarrettB> just move the decimal over 6 places
2670 2011-06-08 22:34:13 <GarrettB> bam, done
2671 2011-06-08 22:34:15 <Raccoon> it would be nice if, right now, early on.. we removed the decimal entirely
2672 2011-06-08 22:34:19 <luke-jr> 1 BTC = 1,736 and 1/9 UBC
2673 2011-06-08 22:34:27 <luke-jr> midnightmagic: theoretical maximum
2674 2011-06-08 22:34:34 <Raccoon> early adopters would be fine with that
2675 2011-06-08 22:34:37 <luke-jr> GarrettB: no, that's retarded
2676 2011-06-08 22:34:40 <lfm> GarrettB: go ahead, now convince EVERYONE it is a good idea. I say why bother
2677 2011-06-08 22:34:41 <TommyBoy3G> later it will be hard to move decimals
2678 2011-06-08 22:34:53 <Raccoon> exactly TommyBoy3G

2682 2011-06-08 22:35:07 <sipa> i think it's one of the easiest thing to do
2683 2011-06-08 22:35:09 <Raccoon> too much rounding error
2684 2011-06-08 22:35:15 <GarrettB> lfm: I wouldn't suggest that for the main client, nor to call the new unit BTC. I'd call it something else, UBC or something
2685 2011-06-08 22:35:26 <GarrettB> luke-jr: why is that a bad idea
2686 2011-06-08 22:35:28 <lfm> Raccoon: there is NO ROUNDING errors if you do it right
2687 2011-06-08 22:35:31 <Raccoon> i'd call the new unit BTC
2688 2011-06-08 22:35:31 <sipa> you shouldn't use floating numbers for accounting ever
2689 2011-06-08 22:35:32 <luke-jr> GarrettB: because it doesn't fix anything
2690 2011-06-08 22:35:41 <luke-jr> GarrettB: UBC = https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Universal_Bitcoin
2691 2011-06-08 22:35:50 <GarrettB> luke-jr: okay, I'm looking at it as a usability fix. And yes I read that shitty table (somehow)
2692 2011-06-08 22:35:50 <sipa> that doesn't mean you shouldn't use decimals
2693 2011-06-08 22:36:01 <luke-jr> GarrettB: UBC fixes divisibility better
2694 2011-06-08 22:36:07 <GarrettB> luke-jr: how?
2695 2011-06-08 22:36:09 <lfm> GarrettB: it is a change for changes sake. it is not an improvment
2696 2011-06-08 22:36:12 <luke-jr> so so 1/3 UBC is possible for example
2697 2011-06-08 22:36:17 <mikegogulski> personally I wouldn't want to rebase bitcoin until it's around $1000 or more
2698 2011-06-08 22:36:21 <edcba> didn't we have a nomenclature for those decimals ?
2699 2011-06-08 22:36:29 <magnetron> great, yet another tonal system
2700 2011-06-08 22:36:30 <sipa> millies and mikes :)
2701 2011-06-08 22:36:32 <diki> how does one cache miner stats??
2702 2011-06-08 22:36:37 <GarrettB> lfm: again, not suggesting to change it everywhere. Just for certain clients. I think it'd be a useful change as value climbs
2703 2011-06-08 22:36:42 <diki> for the site as a whole i can, but for individual users...

2706 2011-06-08 22:36:47 <lfm> GarrettB: you can already do 0.00000001 BTC. how does moveing the decimal improve it?
2707 2011-06-08 22:36:54 <luke-jr> magnetron: nothing tonal about it :P
2708 2011-06-08 22:37:11 <mikegogulski> luke-jr: so you can use 0.333333 BTC already...
2709 2011-06-08 22:37:11 <GarrettB> lfm: Yes, you can. I find it easier to think in larger units.
2710 2011-06-08 22:37:13 <gmaxwell> luke-jr: not divisable by 11!
2711 2011-06-08 22:37:16 <luke-jr> mikegogulski: that's not 1/3
2712 2011-06-08 22:37:17 <mikegogulski> lol
2713 2011-06-08 22:37:18 <Raccoon> here's the main griff
2714 2011-06-08 22:37:21 <mikegogulski> doesn't matter
2715 2011-06-08 22:37:23 <gmaxwell> mikegogulski: which is inexact.
2716 2011-06-08 22:37:23 <luke-jr> gmaxwell: who needs that?
2717 2011-06-08 22:37:26 <edcba> wtf at ubc lol
2718 2011-06-08 22:37:29 <Raccoon> the maximum possible bitcoins will be 21 million?
2719 2011-06-08 22:37:29 <lfm> GarrettB: ok then that would be confusing!
2720 2011-06-08 22:37:37 <Raccoon> no government will take that seriously
2721 2011-06-08 22:37:38 <gmaxwell> luke-jr: people with .. eleven things to pay?

2728 2011-06-08 22:37:43 <luke-jr> edcba: obviously users would only see the real UBC units, not the Satoshis
2729 2011-06-08 22:37:44 <magnetron> instead of working with the protocol or using the currency, we spend all out time on what base we should use. great!
2730 2011-06-08 22:37:47 <lfm> Raccoon: less than that a bit but ya
2731 2011-06-08 22:37:48 <Raccoon> if we can't turn 21 million into 21 trillion

2746 2011-06-08 22:38:29 <luke-jr> GarrettB: then use BTC

2749 2011-06-08 22:38:45 <luke-jr> GarrettB: or μBTC
2750 2011-06-08 22:38:49 <edcba> can you group zeroes by 3 ? :)
2751 2011-06-08 22:38:54 <lfm> Raccoon: so why is 21 million not enuf?

2759 2011-06-08 22:39:29 <luke-jr> GarrettB: I'm arguing that "moving the decimal point" doesn't fix anything, and just confuses people
2760 2011-06-08 22:39:36 <GarrettB> All I'm saying is that your UBC system is silly and only you and a few other people will ever use it
2761 2011-06-08 22:39:37 <edcba> btw μ is micro and not nano as it is often mistaken for
2762 2011-06-08 22:39:43 <GarrettB> luke-jr: so an entirely new number system is needed?
2763 2011-06-08 22:39:45 <GarrettB> that's ridiculous
2764 2011-06-08 22:39:45 <mikegogulski> luke-jr: there's nothing broken with decimal
2765 2011-06-08 22:39:48 <luke-jr> GarrettB: I didn't make UBC to be used
2766 2011-06-08 22:39:49 <lfm> Raccoon: huh? no one is ignoreing 0.00001btc possibilities
2767 2011-06-08 22:39:54 <Raccoon> nobody is ever going to "buy a tshirt for 0.000625 BTC.  ever.

2777 2011-06-08 22:40:18 <edcba> 0.01 BTC = 1 BTc

2799 2011-06-08 22:41:33 <Raccoon> we are a tight knit group

2803 2011-06-08 22:41:42 <GarrettB> many people would not hear of it
2804 2011-06-08 22:41:43 <edcba> BTC is known as bitcoin

2807 2011-06-08 22:41:51 <edcba> swapping to UBC will be bad
2808 2011-06-08 22:41:58 <gmaxwell> luke-jr: also ... are there enough 2s in the basis to divide by 16?
2809 2011-06-08 22:41:58 <lfm> and silly
2810 2011-06-08 22:42:00 <GarrettB> additionally, anyone looking into the history of BTC will have issues with conversions
2811 2011-06-08 22:42:11 <GarrettB> leave reference client and all code as is

2818 2011-06-08 22:42:29 <luke-jr> gmaxwell: UBC can be divided by 2 a total of 8 times I think
2819 2011-06-08 22:42:31 <mtrlt> people do NOT understand the difference between 0.00001 and 0.000001

2842 2011-06-08 22:43:49 <edcba> ok the sanest is still to use S.I.
2843 2011-06-08 22:43:49 <sipa> luke-jr: actually, i agree better divisibility would be an advantage, but currently the only reasonable change to the current imho is moving the decimal, people can understand "1 old BTC = 10000 new BTC", they'll have problems with "1 old BTC = 4096 new BTC"
2844 2011-06-08 22:43:51 <luke-jr> UBC can be divided by two 8 times, by three 2 times, by five 2 times, by ten 2 times, by a dozen 2 times, and by sixteen 2 times
2845 2011-06-08 22:43:53 <GarrettB> there is no way we have that few bitcoin owners
2846 2011-06-08 22:44:01 <edcba> cBTC mBTC etc etc
2847 2011-06-08 22:44:09 <luke-jr> sipa: μBTC works fine for thaty

2853 2011-06-08 22:44:19 <TommyBoy3G> ir would be more practical

2858 2011-06-08 22:44:34 <GarrettB> TommyBoy3G: you can't have nbtc
2859 2011-06-08 22:44:38 <mikegogulski> ...for all those times when you need to divide your cash by 120...
2860 2011-06-08 22:44:43 <GarrettB> n = 10^-9
2861 2011-06-08 22:44:45 <lfm> TommyBoy3G: I think you are the one not being practiacl. trying to fix what isnt broke
2862 2011-06-08 22:44:51 <GarrettB> we only have 10^-8 divisibility
2863 2011-06-08 22:44:51 <magnetron> mikegogulski: Imperial bitcoins
2864 2011-06-08 22:44:54 <mtrlt> luke-jr: no because everyone uses decimal.
2865 2011-06-08 22:44:57 <edcba> sipa: they can understand old vs new with a decimal base but they never are used to the new :)
2866 2011-06-08 22:44:58 <sipa> luke-jr: however, if we'd ever change the underlying representation, maybe using a non-power-of-ten multiplier is a possibility
2867 2011-06-08 22:45:00 <mikegogulski> magnetron: YES!
2868 2011-06-08 22:45:01 <TommyBoy3G> i'm not trying to fix
2869 2011-06-08 22:45:03 <luke-jr> mtrlt: UBC works fine with decimal
2870 2011-06-08 22:45:07 <TommyBoy3G> sipa told everything about it
2871 2011-06-08 22:45:09 <Raccoon> GarrettB: by your estimates how many bitcoiners are there right now?
2872 2011-06-08 22:45:13 <mtrlt> luke-jr: yea but it's still weird :p
2873 2011-06-08 22:45:15 <GarrettB> Raccoon: far more than that
2874 2011-06-08 22:45:18 <Raccoon> GarrettB: a bitcoiner is someone with at least 0.01 btc to their name
2875 2011-06-08 22:45:19 <lfm> thrying to change it/ fix it whatever

2879 2011-06-08 22:45:29 <GarrettB> if not over that
2880 2011-06-08 22:45:30 <edcba> Raccoon: the problem is also websites
2881 2011-06-08 22:45:31 <mikegogulski> 1 new bitcoin = 1.31276464834834... new bitcoins

2883 2011-06-08 22:45:43 <bitcoiner> no one use to use that name before
2884 2011-06-08 22:45:45 <Raccoon> ok, someone with 0.01 btc to their name in the last 365 days
2885 2011-06-08 22:45:46 <edcba> you have a lot of websites displaying 1 month = 1 BTC
2886 2011-06-08 22:46:01 MasterMindsEnt has quit ()
2887 2011-06-08 22:46:04 <gmaxwell> We should use arbitrary basis rational numbers. Why shouldn't I be able to spend 1/3342671 bitcoin‽
2888 2011-06-08 22:46:06 <GarrettB> 1 btc = 100000 microbtc
2889 2011-06-08 22:46:08 <edcba> you can't change BTC value without changing the name
2890 2011-06-08 22:46:09 <ultrafluf> it wouldbe confusing to redefine BTC imo
2891 2011-06-08 22:46:09 <lfm> TommyBoy3G: you forget the amount of stuff that already does 0.01 or 0.0001 btc, you want to change all that?
2892 2011-06-08 22:46:10 <Raccoon> edcba: you have websites that are static all the time.
2893 2011-06-08 22:46:14 <Raccoon> edcba: they need to upgrade
2894 2011-06-08 22:46:19 <ultrafluf> better to use a multiplier
2895 2011-06-08 22:46:22 <sipa> gmaxwell: that is a possibility, but has a disadvantage
2896 2011-06-08 22:46:28 <TommyBoy3G> lfm its not practical
2897 2011-06-08 22:46:29 <GarrettB> Raccoon: you're asking a lot of a lot of webmasters
2898 2011-06-08 22:46:35 <GarrettB> it's not practical
2899 2011-06-08 22:46:35 <Raccoon> edcba: if we start the transition now, it wouldn't take but a month for people to catch up
2900 2011-06-08 22:46:37 <TommyBoy3G> and not intuitive
2901 2011-06-08 22:46:43 fahadsadah has joined
2902 2011-06-08 22:46:45 <GarrettB> an entirely new unit wouldn't need any catchup time though
2903 2011-06-08 22:46:51 <Raccoon> fuck new units
2904 2011-06-08 22:46:52 <sipa> gmaxwell: if you combine coins with arbitrary fractions., you can't guarantee it can be represented in a bounded amount of space
2905 2011-06-08 22:46:56 <TommyBoy3G> userexperience is lovering on such things
2906 2011-06-08 22:46:56 <lfm> TommyBoy3G: thats very subjective, in the eye of the beholder, youd get used to it
2907 2011-06-08 22:46:56 <Raccoon> the old unit isn't popular enough
2908 2011-06-08 22:46:58 <edcba> ok maybe we should put that to a vote with our wallets
2909 2011-06-08 22:47:01 <gmaxwell> sipa: that it screws up fungiblity for one.
2910 2011-06-08 22:47:06 <Kireji> who is working on phone apps to connect to my own running bitcoind?
2911 2011-06-08 22:47:09 <GarrettB> Raccoon: move decimal + change unit = no catchup time, all info is still correct on sites.
2912 2011-06-08 22:47:11 <TommyBoy3G> lfm me yes, others not
2913 2011-06-08 22:47:11 <gmaxwell> sipa: yep that too.
2914 2011-06-08 22:47:26 <GarrettB> Raccoon: move decimal +  same unit, everyone has to play catchup because of a few people who wanted the change
2915 2011-06-08 22:47:33 <GarrettB> far less work
2916 2011-06-08 22:47:40 <GarrettB> additionally, conversion is easier
2917 2011-06-08 22:47:41 <gmaxwell> sipa: "here is my ~1 BTC which consists of 500 prime factors. Have fun!"
2918 2011-06-08 22:47:41 <lfm> TommyBoy3G: everyone would get used to it and theyd start to think dollars and cents were odd
2919 2011-06-08 22:47:42 <TommyBoy3G> yep

2921 2011-06-08 22:47:44 <Raccoon> it will be a very necessary change in a very short time from now.
2922 2011-06-08 22:47:45 <GarrettB> because we can use an SI prefix
2923 2011-06-08 22:47:46 <TommyBoy3G> GarrettB
2924 2011-06-08 22:47:54 <Raccoon> all the doctrine states that a decimal shift will happen.
2925 2011-06-08 22:47:56 <GarrettB> TommyBoy3G
2926 2011-06-08 22:48:04 <ultrafluf> i'd rather have mBTC or something for buying candy and use normal BTC for buying cars :>
2927 2011-06-08 22:48:05 <Raccoon> none of the doctrine suggests the unit name need be changed
2928 2011-06-08 22:48:08 <lfm> Raccoon: huh? what doctirne?
2929 2011-06-08 22:48:08 eternal1 has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
2930 2011-06-08 22:48:12 <gmaxwell> Raccoon: decimal shift = stupid beyond belief. It won't happen.
2931 2011-06-08 22:48:16 <luke-jr> gmaxwell: arbitrary stuff would break compatibility
2932 2011-06-08 22:48:24 <Raccoon> lfm: all the white papers and wiki and shit
2933 2011-06-08 22:48:26 <lfm> Raccoon: there are several currenies now that use 0.001 parts
2934 2011-06-08 22:48:29 <sipa> i think a decimal shift is possible
2935 2011-06-08 22:48:29 <gmaxwell> Raccoon: use of µBTC could happen fine.
2936 2011-06-08 22:48:38 <sipa> it's happened to many currencies before
2937 2011-06-08 22:48:43 <luke-jr> Kireji: only me :P
2938 2011-06-08 22:48:43 <ultrafluf> decimal shifts are handy, they were invented for stupid people you don't need maths you just move the dot
2939 2011-06-08 22:48:48 <gmaxwell> sipa: it has a coordination problem.
2940 2011-06-08 22:48:49 <Raccoon> let me put it in these terms.
2941 2011-06-08 22:48:50 <edcba> lfm: there are some currencies using 100000000000000 also :)
2942 2011-06-08 22:49:08 <sipa> gmaxwell: like everything in a decentralized setting, but it seems to work
2943 2011-06-08 22:49:10 <luke-jr> if you just want to "move the decimal place", just use SI prefixes to BTC
2944 2011-06-08 22:49:15 <gmaxwell> sipa: you'd need to switch to calling it something else for a long time first in order to distinguish pre/post names.
2945 2011-06-08 22:49:16 <GarrettB> decimal shift is a bad idea. Using a new default unit (which happens to be 1/100000  of the old unit) is very very handy
2946 2011-06-08 22:49:17 <luke-jr> if you want hexadecimal/tonal, use TBC
2947 2011-06-08 22:49:23 <luke-jr> if you want to reinvent the system sanely, use UBC
2948 2011-06-08 22:49:25 <luke-jr> :p
2949 2011-06-08 22:49:26 lebish_zz is now known as lebish
2950 2011-06-08 22:49:31 <gmaxwell> sipa: and if you shift names to distinguish why bother recovering the old name?
2951 2011-06-08 22:49:34 <lfm> edcba: yup and people , even stupid people, can figure them out and manage just fine
2952 2011-06-08 22:50:00 <edcba> maybe we can implement all those units
2953 2011-06-08 22:50:06 <Raccoon> an IQ-27 person bouncing a baby on their knee, needs to buy diapers, won't know the difference between 0.00001 and 0.000001 as mtrlt pointed out.
2954 2011-06-08 22:50:09 <TommyBoy3G> so its or moving decimal, o using new default unit
2955 2011-06-08 22:50:13 <gmaxwell> luke-jr: it's not like tbc is all that compatible with bitcoin.
2956 2011-06-08 22:50:13 <ultrafluf> those currencies using 1000000000 happen to be that way because they devaluated so muc h you need to be a millionaire to buy bread
2957 2011-06-08 22:50:16 <edcba> and let the user choose :)
2958 2011-06-08 22:50:25 cdecker has left ()

2968 2011-06-08 22:50:51 <Raccoon> lets put it in other terms.
2969 2011-06-08 22:50:54 <edcba> so if he wants to use BTC he will write 0.0001 if he wants mBTC he writes 10 if he wants to use UBC ...
2970 2011-06-08 22:50:54 <gjs278> I have the word "tonal" on highlight
2971 2011-06-08 22:50:57 <Raccoon> Stock splits happen all the time
2972 2011-06-08 22:50:58 <GarrettB> and keeps coming up with new numbering systems

2974 2011-06-08 22:51:00 <Raccoon> nobody complains

2976 2011-06-08 22:51:09 <lfm> ya so your client displays all values in uBTC and mine displays in BTC. you send me 1000uBTC and I get 1BTC ok, that is like a non event then
2977 2011-06-08 22:51:12 <Raccoon> EBAY is not EBAY9
2978 2011-06-08 22:51:16 <Raccoon> or EBAY 16
2979 2011-06-08 22:51:19 <GarrettB> lfm: that's what I'm arguing :P
2980 2011-06-08 22:51:20 <edcba> yes we can't really redifine COIN value
2981 2011-06-08 22:51:25 <mikegogulski> @sipa: okay, i'm a dummy. I wasn't counting the many BTC0.01 tx fees my server was paying. that's where the lossage went :P
2982 2011-06-08 22:51:34 <Raccoon> we can really redefine coin value
2983 2011-06-08 22:51:35 <gmaxwell> lfm: sure µBTC is fine. But if you call both BTC then 0_o
2984 2011-06-08 22:51:39 <Raccoon> it's like a stock split
2985 2011-06-08 22:51:47 <GarrettB> Raccoon: but that causes confusion
2986 2011-06-08 22:51:48 <ultrafluf> an IQ-27 person is about as intelligent as an average dog, you don't let your dog do your shopping ? does your grocery store have special services so that dogs can shop?
2987 2011-06-08 22:51:51 <gmaxwell> Raccoon: good luck with that.
2988 2011-06-08 22:51:58 <ultrafluf> :>
2989 2011-06-08 22:52:01 <Raccoon> GarrettB: we are a small community of IQ100+ people
2990 2011-06-08 22:52:03 <GarrettB> when it is just as easy to change the client to have the option of showing smaller base units
2991 2011-06-08 22:52:07 <Count_Niedar> why is is so damn hard for people to agree to just use SI system
2992 2011-06-08 22:52:08 <GarrettB> Raccoon: you don't understand
2993 2011-06-08 22:52:12 <GarrettB> listen very carefully
2994 2011-06-08 22:52:13 <Raccoon> the average IQ of a bitcoin user exceeds 110
2995 2011-06-08 22:52:15 <luke-jr> GarrettB: I've never come up with a single numbering system
2996 2011-06-08 22:52:20 <Raccoon> if not 125
2997 2011-06-08 22:52:29 <luke-jr> GarrettB: and I'm only mad when people are bigots, not when they use what they want (usually decimal)
2998 2011-06-08 22:52:30 <lfm> Raccoon: you think you can but if other people use different definitions that you one of you will be in trouble.
2999 2011-06-08 22:52:44 <ultrafluf> i would love to see more of the zero's in my bitcoin thing cuz i got a payment and a a lot of the decimals got left behind :(

3008 2011-06-08 22:53:10 <luke-jr> Count_Niedar: I agree that decimal users should stick to SI or switch to another system
3009 2011-06-08 22:53:13 Marcel has joined
3010 2011-06-08 22:53:14 <GarrettB> Raccoon: if you change the decimal place, ie move the unit value (stock split plan), you cause problems with backward compatibility. If you don't change the unit, just let clients choose if they want to see microbtc or btc, you don't have to change anything, anywhere.
3011 2011-06-08 22:53:27 <GarrettB> Shops can add support for showing prices in microbtc if they want
3012 2011-06-08 22:53:30 <gmaxwell> GarrettB++
3013 2011-06-08 22:53:31 <ultrafluf> yes that is the option i want
3014 2011-06-08 22:53:35 <lfm> Raccoon: and there are other clients that none of us here have control over
3015 2011-06-08 22:53:37 <ultrafluf> what GarrettB is saying
3016 2011-06-08 22:53:44 <Raccoon> bah fine.
3017 2011-06-08 22:53:48 <Raccoon> if you MUST create a new unit
3018 2011-06-08 22:53:49 <ultrafluf> i don't need foot and inches in my coins :>
3019 2011-06-08 22:53:54 <luke-jr> or mBTC
3020 2011-06-08 22:53:57 <edcba> ok so it was a non debate it's just a matter of presenting information
3021 2011-06-08 22:54:02 <Raccoon> 1.00 BTC = 100 BTC/2
3022 2011-06-08 22:54:03 <mtrlt> Raccoon: people still don't understand the difference between 0.00001 and 0.000001
3023 2011-06-08 22:54:09 <luke-jr> Raccoon: … wtf?
3024 2011-06-08 22:54:09 <GarrettB> Raccoon: it's not creating a new unit. It's allowing the smaller unit be the default unit in the client
3025 2011-06-08 22:54:10 <mtrlt> nothing has changed in 5 minutes

3029 2011-06-08 22:54:29 <GarrettB> we're back up at 28.3 by the way

3032 2011-06-08 22:54:48 <mtrlt> just define a microbitcoin and ge done with it :P
3033 2011-06-08 22:54:49 <gmaxwell> Raccoon: can I hire you to work for microsoft?
3034 2011-06-08 22:54:49 <luke-jr> GarrettB: Spesmilo has an option in Settings for BTC or TBC, can easily add µBTC or mBTC
3035 2011-06-08 22:54:51 <GarrettB> Raccoon: yes. But if you make a new unit, you don't need to say whether you're using the old one or the new one
3036 2011-06-08 22:54:52 <ultrafluf> that way of writing it is very confusing Raccoon most people know things like m/s etc
3037 2011-06-08 22:54:57 <Kireji> I think we should call 10**-6 of a BTC a "credit"

3049 2011-06-08 22:55:13 <Raccoon> GarrettB: making a new unit causes all sorts of marketing and trust problems.

3118 2011-06-08 22:58:20 <magnetron> hex isn't tonal
3119 2011-06-08 22:58:21 <Optimo> try another font

3125 2011-06-08 22:58:30 <luke-jr> ultrafluf: it's not exactly. hex is a newer system with the same base
3126 2011-06-08 22:58:32 <mtrlt> magnetron: tonal is a base-16 system

3182 2011-06-08 23:01:36 <Raccoon> MtGox is a company backing bitcoin
3183 2011-06-08 23:01:48 <jgarzik> *facepalm*
3184 2011-06-08 23:01:51 <Raccoon> if MtGox's domain name were stolen by the US Fed.  the value of BTC would plummet

3186 2011-06-08 23:02:04 <Raccoon> it is backing
3187 2011-06-08 23:02:12 <Raccoon> if you send MTGOX a bitcoin, they will honor it with money
3188 2011-06-08 23:02:13 <ultrafluf> i believe after reading the first 2 pages that tonal can be written off as read there it reads as a vocal equivalent of counting your knuckles :>
3189 2011-06-08 23:02:13 <lfm> well in a weak sense
3190 2011-06-08 23:02:18 <sipa> i will not argue that mtgox is currently extremely important to the bitcoin economy

3196 2011-06-08 23:02:33 <Kireji> Raccoon: they are not really big enough for them to "back" in the sense of dumping resources into the success of tehh system
3197 2011-06-08 23:02:34 <GarrettB> Raccoon: okay, what I mean to say, is that bitcoin was not made by a company

3199 2011-06-08 23:02:38 <ultrafluf> from what you normally use

3207 2011-06-08 23:03:30 <phantomcircuit> raccoon backing has a VERY specific economic meaning, please stop saying that
3208 2011-06-08 23:03:33 <GarrettB> Raccoon: they don't back it
3209 2011-06-08 23:03:37 <GarrettB> you misunderstand many terms
3210 2011-06-08 23:03:42 <gmaxwell> sipa: decimal float with a golomb coded exponent would probably be fine.
3211 2011-06-08 23:03:47 <ultrafluf> ty gmaxwell but the archaic book had more gigglevalue

3217 2011-06-08 23:04:26 <GarrettB> still, it's easily searchable
3218 2011-06-08 23:04:30 <Raccoon> lfm: otherwise people would be using them
3219 2011-06-08 23:04:36 <davex__> GarrettB, right...  and stuff never gets out dated?

3221 2011-06-08 23:04:41 <sipa> gmaxwell: that means either rounding errors or possible arbitrary-sized numbers
3222 2011-06-08 23:04:44 <lfm> Raccoon: well you havnt found them but they do exist
3223 2011-06-08 23:04:51 <phantomcircuit> raccoon britcoin bitomat come to mind
3224 2011-06-08 23:04:58 <ultrafluf> not that i am opposed to base16 computation, but if you want people to use something it's easier to use base10 numbers
3225 2011-06-08 23:05:08 <ultrafluf> writing and speaking
3226 2011-06-08 23:05:13 <GarrettB> davex__: ?
3227 2011-06-08 23:05:22 <sipa> gmaxwell: using 160626866400000000000000 as factor would be divisibility by all number from 2 tot 27, 32, and many powers of 10
3228 2011-06-08 23:05:29 <Optimo> what if we just redner a drawing of physical coins stacked up
3229 2011-06-08 23:05:38 <sipa> gmaxwell: and it makes the largest bitcoin amount fit nicely in 128 bits
3230 2011-06-08 23:05:42 <gmaxwell> sipa: people are used to dec rounding though.

3233 2011-06-08 23:05:58 <gmaxwell> sipa: also, 2-27 is not good enough, you need to support many 2s and 3s
3234 2011-06-08 23:06:10 <sipa> true
3235 2011-06-08 23:06:22 <lfm> ya just print a stick figure for each 0.00000001 BTC
3236 2011-06-08 23:06:30 <ultrafluf> hahaha awesome
3237 2011-06-08 23:06:35 <Optimo> yes..
3238 2011-06-08 23:06:46 <Raccoon> perhaps, after people have been using 0.000,001 BTC or long enough, they will eventually abbreviate it with 1 BTC.
3239 2011-06-08 23:06:47 <ultrafluf> i would be fine with if it even just printed the internal 8 decimal value as an integer >.>
3240 2011-06-08 23:06:58 <lfm> Raccoon: or not
3241 2011-06-08 23:07:01 <gmaxwell> Raccoon: thats possible, even likely.

3243 2011-06-08 23:07:31 <ultrafluf> i would like to use the full range of bitcoin decimal capabilities in my client i was looking for making it display that in the gui just yesterday but it only does it in the json i think
3244 2011-06-08 23:07:37 <Raccoon> because honestly, who is really charging a million bucks for a tshirt
3245 2011-06-08 23:07:45 <Raccoon> it would just make sense after a while
3246 2011-06-08 23:07:53 <Optimo> if a bytecoin is 8 bitcoins...
3247 2011-06-08 23:08:07 <lfm> ultrafluf: if someone sends you 0.00001BTC it will display it
3248 2011-06-08 23:08:08 <Optimo> that would wedge you into octal
3249 2011-06-08 23:08:13 <GarrettB> Raccoon: stop being dumb
3250 2011-06-08 23:08:14 <Raccoon> Optimo: LONG coin is LONG
3251 2011-06-08 23:08:25 <ultrafluf> oh
3252 2011-06-08 23:08:26 <GarrettB> Raccoon: I doubt it
3253 2011-06-08 23:08:28 <ultrafluf> then they must not have
3254 2011-06-08 23:08:35 <GarrettB> because .00000001 and 1 are very different
3255 2011-06-08 23:08:47 <ultrafluf> cuz i had send something with .xxxx and it only shows .xx
3256 2011-06-08 23:08:49 <Raccoon> GarrettB: gmaxwell is my new friend.  you may stop addressing me anymore.

3259 2011-06-08 23:09:09 <GarrettB> if I had .00000001 pounds of gold I would not abbreviate it as 1 lb Au
3260 2011-06-08 23:09:13 <GarrettB> because they are very different
3261 2011-06-08 23:09:15 <lfm> ultrafluf: what version of bitcoin was that?
3262 2011-06-08 23:09:20 <phantomcircuit> i know that i have been guilty of this myself

3269 2011-06-08 23:09:45 <jrmithdobbs> ultrafluf: upstream client has displayed all decimal places since 3.21
3270 2011-06-08 23:09:46 <ultrafluf> i haven't even seen that we are in -dev :>

3272 2011-06-08 23:09:54 <ultrafluf> hmmm

3274 2011-06-08 23:10:02 <ultrafluf> is that the one i downloaded from the frontpage?
3275 2011-06-08 23:10:06 <ultrafluf> odd
3276 2011-06-08 23:10:22 <lfm> ultrafluf: Y it is possible it didnt actually accept yopur entered amount as entered. It should be fixed in 0.3.22 (i hope)

3279 2011-06-08 23:10:49 <ultrafluf> well a lot of .0000xxxxx got left behind that is what i know for sure
3280 2011-06-08 23:11:02 <phantomcircuit> ultrafluf, ironically you're probably the only person here with a remotely -dev question
3281 2011-06-08 23:11:04 <ultrafluf> but that might be something with the website
3282 2011-06-08 23:11:38 <ultrafluf> i have my moments
3283 2011-06-08 23:11:45 <ultrafluf> i shall take it up with the website person
3284 2011-06-08 23:11:50 <Raccoon> GarrettB: your example uses an imperical weight unit.  my example uses an arbitrary 'coin' name.
3285 2011-06-08 23:11:56 <Raccoon> gold coins shrink all the time
3286 2011-06-08 23:11:58 <lfm> ultrafluf: ya the handling of fractions has been inconsistant in the past. I was hoping it had improved with current versions but your experience seems to indicate there is still work to be done
3287 2011-06-08 23:12:01 <Optimo> I;m interested in Bitcoinj - where can I read more?
3288 2011-06-08 23:12:06 <GarrettB> Raccoon: an arbitrary coin name that everyone uses
3289 2011-06-08 23:12:16 <Raccoon> i'm sure egyptians and romans did the same all the time
3290 2011-06-08 23:12:21 <Raccoon> "that will cost you 100 gold"
3291 2011-06-08 23:12:24 <GarrettB> there's no reason to try and redefine it when you can easily make another unit
3292 2011-06-08 23:12:26 <GarrettB> or rather, rebase it
3293 2011-06-08 23:12:26 <Raccoon> "that will cost you 1 gold"
3294 2011-06-08 23:12:31 <Optimo> remember they had pieces-of-eight
3295 2011-06-08 23:12:33 <Optimo> and bits
3296 2011-06-08 23:12:37 kermit has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
3297 2011-06-08 23:12:57 <GarrettB> if you make a new unit, you can't easily convert
3298 2011-06-08 23:12:59 <Raccoon> GarrettB: nobody wants to make new units
3299 2011-06-08 23:13:06 <GarrettB> Raccoon: yes, you do
3300 2011-06-08 23:13:08 <ultrafluf> lfm i am not sure either, but the website i got them from seems to default to 2 decimals and i added a few to see what happened and well 4 decimals disappeared but in the transaction history only 2 are listed to have been sent
3301 2011-06-08 23:13:09 <Raccoon> no.
3302 2011-06-08 23:13:14 <lfm> ya even today some people refer to two bits for I beleive 25 cents
3303 2011-06-08 23:13:16 <GarrettB> you want to redefine 1 BTC as .00000whatever BTC
3304 2011-06-08 23:13:19 <GarrettB> yes
3305 2011-06-08 23:13:22 <GarrettB> that is what you were arguing
3306 2011-06-08 23:13:25 <Raccoon> lfm: that is right.
3307 2011-06-08 23:13:27 <GarrettB> for the past while
3308 2011-06-08 23:13:36 <Raccoon> though not too many people...
3309 2011-06-08 23:13:44 <Optimo> lfm, hence I suggest like bits of bitcoins
3310 2011-06-08 23:13:54 <diki> pool rate works, now to work on round time...this will be tough
3311 2011-06-08 23:14:01 <Optimo> but if we have bitcents it's fine
3312 2011-06-08 23:14:06 <Raccoon> i'm saying
3313 2011-06-08 23:14:09 <Optimo> why does nobody like Bitcents?
3314 2011-06-08 23:14:16 <lfm> Raccoon: bit2coins?
3315 2011-06-08 23:14:18 <sipa> jgarzik: nice blog post, concise and honest :)
3316 2011-06-08 23:14:24 <ultrafluf> i like bitcents but we need smaller units
3317 2011-06-08 23:14:25 <Raccoon> after we see 0.000,001 BTC pricing on newegg long enough
3318 2011-06-08 23:14:29 MRD_ has left ("Leaving")
3319 2011-06-08 23:14:31 <Raccoon> they may simply "drop all the excessive zeros"
3320 2011-06-08 23:14:36 <GarrettB> optimo I like microbitcoins, because then you still have 2 decimal places
3321 2011-06-08 23:14:38 <Raccoon> that is not far fetched
3322 2011-06-08 23:14:39 <Optimo> ultrafluf, 0.1 bitcents
3323 2011-06-08 23:14:42 <GarrettB> Raccoon: yes it is
3324 2011-06-08 23:14:45 <Raccoon> no, it is not
3325 2011-06-08 23:14:50 <Raccoon> it's a matter of publishing
3326 2011-06-08 23:14:56 <GarrettB> you're an idiot and can't understand why this would be problematic
3327 2011-06-08 23:14:57 <Raccoon> if everyone uses that scale
3328 2011-06-08 23:14:59 <Optimo> and I like BitMill-i
3329 2011-06-08 23:15:00 <lfm> Raccoon: the thing is the zeros are not really excessive and wont be for a long time, maybe never
3330 2011-06-08 23:15:02 <GarrettB> I'm going to go play dante's inferno
3331 2011-06-08 23:15:03 <ultrafluf> true but that puts you maybe at 6 before the zero's become a drag
3332 2011-06-08 23:15:15 <Raccoon> lfm, perhaps sooner than we think.
3333 2011-06-08 23:15:20 <Optimo> mBTC always seemed to make sense to me
3334 2011-06-08 23:15:27 <mtrlt> µBTC is the best.
3335 2011-06-08 23:15:32 <iz> Raccoon: what happens when you have to put all te 0s on the OTHER side of the number?
3336 2011-06-08 23:15:33 <Raccoon> it's already reasonable to trade things in 0.001 BTC today.
3337 2011-06-08 23:15:42 <Raccoon> you can buy a gumball or 0.001
3338 2011-06-08 23:15:44 <Raccoon> *for

3356 2011-06-08 23:17:29 <mtrlt> one bitcoin would be probably like $1M

3425 2011-06-08 23:28:31 <diki> the first one is more sound proof, but truncating a table with a million rows could take a while

3430 2011-06-08 23:29:19 <diki> basically, there are a few ways, i just need the more reliable way
3431 2011-06-08 23:29:23 <diki> that has less flaws

3448 2011-06-08 23:36:56 <lfm> so tonal the months should all be 32 days I guess and 8 months or just go for 16 and 16 again?
3449 2011-06-08 23:37:17 <mtrlt> 16 and 16, of course :)
3450 2011-06-08 23:37:37 <mtrlt> then a year would be 1000000 seconds or something :P
3451 2011-06-08 23:37:45 <mtrlt> 0x1000000
3452 2011-06-08 23:37:50 <lfm> ok, its decided, the the year now has 256 days
3453 2011-06-08 23:37:55 <mtrlt> yep
3454 2011-06-08 23:37:57 <iz> lfm: why not have 100 hours in a day also instead of just 10?
3455 2011-06-08 23:38:04 <mtrlt> we must make the earth's rotation adhere to that

3460 2011-06-08 23:38:58 <iz> i mean.. that's always bothered me about the conversion from seconds to minutes to hours to days
3461 2011-06-08 23:39:10 <Sedra> anyone know if theres a decent tool like HWiNFO32 to monitor shader temps of my cards in linix (ubuntu)? Wine doesnt work :/

3463 2011-06-08 23:39:23 <iz> haha yeah

3478 2011-06-08 23:45:24 <Sedra> yeah it does, but only core temp, I need to display more like I can do in Windows
3479 2011-06-08 23:45:32 <gjs278> you can't get the uhh ram stuff
3480 2011-06-08 23:45:34 <Sedra> sensors only reports my cpu
3481 2011-06-08 23:45:35 <gjs278> linux won't report it
3482 2011-06-08 23:45:36 <diki> i've been thinking and thinking and thought of no valid solution
3483 2011-06-08 23:45:43 <gjs278> sensors can't report gpu temp
3484 2011-06-08 23:45:43 <luke-jr> lfm: tonal has 10 (16 deci) Tims per day, 10 Timtons per Tim, and 100 Timmills per Timton
3485 2011-06-08 23:46:08 <gjs278> Sedra you're kind of out of luck with any of the advanced temps, it can only report gpu
3486 2011-06-08 23:46:15 <luke-jr> lfm: Tonal months are generally 17 days each
3487 2011-06-08 23:46:27 <lfm> oh, how many days/year?

3492 2011-06-08 23:47:14 <lfm> we can fix that if you like. start a project now?
3493 2011-06-08 23:47:17 <Sedra> I only want shader temps
