   6 2011-07-16 00:01:16 <phantomcircuit> i was pleased
   7 2011-07-16 00:01:34 <phantomcircuit> that reminds me i need to finish up my campbx pentest
   8 2011-07-16 00:01:42 <phantomcircuit> they have at least one lol obvious problem
   9 2011-07-16 00:01:49 <phantomcircuit> although i dont believe it's exploitable
  10 2011-07-16 00:01:57 <gmaxwell> I don't think anyone really believes how bad the popular press is until they cover something you were deeply involved in— and you see that its a total misrepresentation, and wonder about all the stuff you read but wouldn't know any better about.

  33 2011-07-16 00:05:23 <jgarzik> gavinandresen: what do you think about CBitcoinAddress (#403)?
  34 2011-07-16 00:05:31 <BlueMatt> wait something can be worse than fox and call themselves news?

  43 2011-07-16 00:07:29 <BlueMatt> I think jon steward (of all people, a comedian, really?) put it best on his recent interview on fox: something to the effect of the mainstream media was designed for a 24 hour news cycle, when there isnt enough news they just twiddle their thumbs

  50 2011-07-16 00:08:20 <phantomcircuit> fox & msnbc however have realized that you can fill the downtime with partisan bullshit
  51 2011-07-16 00:08:39 <BlueMatt> and then they moved that partisan bullshit into the uptime
  52 2011-07-16 00:08:47 <phantomcircuit> cnn is desperately trying to fill the downtime with stuff but nobody cares
  53 2011-07-16 00:09:02 <BlueMatt> and at the end of the day, the stuff that is actually important doesnt get reported
  54 2011-07-16 00:09:05 <sipa> gavinandresen, jgarzik: the only thing about that could be an issue for some is that it will break if someone has two private keys that hash to the same address
  55 2011-07-16 00:09:25 <sipa> gavinandresen: and tries to spend a send-to-pubkey transaction output
  56 2011-07-16 00:09:43 <BlueMatt> sipa: a. how badly break, like just not import the second key? and b. dont think we need to care about that
  57 2011-07-16 00:09:44 <phantomcircuit> sipa, uh isn't that like computationally ridiculous?
  58 2011-07-16 00:09:54 <sipa> phantomcircuit: it is, which is why i don't care
  59 2011-07-16 00:10:11 <gavinandresen> sipa : two private keys that hash to the same address is in the "ain't never gonna happen while we're alive" category.
  60 2011-07-16 00:10:18 <sipa> agree
  61 2011-07-16 00:10:26 <sipa> gavinandresen: within one wallet, btw
  62 2011-07-16 00:10:35 <sipa> and only for generation tx's :)
  63 2011-07-16 00:10:36 <BlueMatt> even better
  64 2011-07-16 00:10:57 <sipa> but technically, it is a regression :)
  65 2011-07-16 00:11:15 <BlueMatt> since when did regressions stop us from pushing code?

  82 2011-07-16 00:15:26 <gavinandresen> BlueMatt: it is standalone python code that connects to bitcoind on port 8333 and then starts sending it blocks/transactions/etc
  83 2011-07-16 00:15:33 <sipa> gavinandresen: oh, nice
  84 2011-07-16 00:15:41 <sipa> i think those will be complementary
  85 2011-07-16 00:15:45 <BlueMatt> oh, I thought you meant in boost unit test, very nice
  86 2011-07-16 00:15:49 <gavinandresen> BlueMatt: ... and makes sure that if it sends a block chain split the bitcoind returns the right stuff.
  87 2011-07-16 00:15:51 <BlueMatt> yes that would be very nicely complementary
  88 2011-07-16 00:15:54 <denisx> Zagitta_: what is your input format?

  99 2011-07-16 00:19:06 <jgarzik> gavinandresen: I concluded that a test tool would be more useful than simple test scripts in the build tree

 173 2011-07-16 01:12:50 <denisx> what is minconf in sendmany for?
 174 2011-07-16 01:13:34 <sipa> minimum number of confirmations
 175 2011-07-16 01:14:09 <sipa> making sure it uses only coins that are at least N Blblocks old
 176 2011-07-16 01:14:33 <denisx> sipa: so I can spend money which is not yet mine?
 177 2011-07-16 01:14:51 <denisx> like I can spend generated bitcoins at 10 confirmations?
 178 2011-07-16 01:14:57 <phantomcircuit> sure doesn't mean anybody will accept it
 179 2011-07-16 01:15:14 <phantomcircuit> you can spend it at 1 confirmation but nobody else will accept it
 180 2011-07-16 01:16:04 <denisx> so, what the point then?
 181 2011-07-16 01:16:36 <luke-jr> denisx: it's not for generations
 182 2011-07-16 01:16:36 <phantomcircuit> so a pool can directly send out the mined coins from a block without delay
 183 2011-07-16 01:16:42 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: they can't
 184 2011-07-16 01:16:45 <sipa> nodenixs: you cannot ever spend generated coins that are not 100 blocks olf
 185 2011-07-16 01:16:51 <sipa> eh
 186 2011-07-16 01:16:54 <luke-jr> phantomcircuit: even if a miner accepted it, the block would be invalid
 187 2011-07-16 01:16:55 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, that doesn't make sense
 188 2011-07-16 01:17:13 <gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: you can't spend from the generated txn for 100 blocks.
 189 2011-07-16 01:17:14 <phantomcircuit> i guess
 190 2011-07-16 01:17:37 <phantomcircuit> there is probably a good reason that im to tired to realize
 191 2011-07-16 01:17:43 <phantomcircuit> <-- goes back to coding shit
 192 2011-07-16 01:17:47 <gmaxwell> You could spend from a prior one you kept, but then if it gets invalidated the paymet will get remined but you'll have lost the income...
 193 2011-07-16 01:17:50 <sipa> phantomcircuit: accepting an immature tx in a block makes the block invalid
 194 2011-07-16 01:17:51 <denisx> it seems this was a good question! ;)
 195 2011-07-16 01:18:13 <sipa> denisx: it is for non generation txs

 198 2011-07-16 01:18:34 <sipa> as those can be spent at 0 or 1 conf
 199 2011-07-16 01:18:35 <gmaxwell> There is a good reason for that— because a txn in an orphaned block can easily be put back into the chain, but if the generation was invalidated then all its children are toast forever.

 284 2011-07-16 02:54:54 <b4epoche> prolly the oldest key in the pool
 285 2011-07-16 02:55:45 <freewil> thats strange
 286 2011-07-16 02:55:52 Beccara has joined
 287 2011-07-16 02:56:12 <freewil> im not that familiar with the bitcoin network so i dont know what that refers to exactly
 288 2011-07-16 02:57:03 <b4epoche> bitcoin makes a pool or ~100 keys to use after you request the first new one (I think)
 289 2011-07-16 02:57:36 <freewil> so does this have to do with your public addresses in your wallet
 290 2011-07-16 02:57:39 Beccara_ has joined
 291 2011-07-16 02:57:41 <b4epoche> thus, you're wallet will have like 100 keys in it at any time.  i.e. it doesn't generate a new one 'on demand'
 292 2011-07-16 02:58:07 <b4epoche> your private keys are in wallet
 293 2011-07-16 02:58:17 amiller has joined
 294 2011-07-16 02:58:40 <gmaxwell> b4epoche: no it will have a pool of 100 unused keys, and it generates new ones to keep it topped off.
 295 2011-07-16 02:59:09 <freewil> i dont think this has anything to do with that
 296 2011-07-16 02:59:10 <b4epoche> there's some reason for it doing that but I can't recall it
 297 2011-07-16 02:59:11 <gmaxwell> The keypoololdest is the oldest unused key. A backup older than that is about to become lossy.
 298 2011-07-16 02:59:28 <gmaxwell> b4epoche: so that backups actually work. :)
 299 2011-07-16 02:59:52 <b4epoche> well, so the irregular backups work
 300 2011-07-16 02:59:57 <b4epoche> s/the/that

 302 2011-07-16 03:00:17 <freewil> gmaxwell: the value im getting back for keypoololdest doesnt look like a public address hex value though
 303 2011-07-16 03:00:18 <gmaxwell> Not just irregular. If not for the pool, you could backup every day, and still lose most of your coins if you lost your wallet.
 304 2011-07-16 03:00:24 <freewil> its just an integer
 305 2011-07-16 03:00:45 <b4epoche> prolly an index
 306 2011-07-16 03:00:50 <gmaxwell> freewil: its unix time, number of seconds since 1970. date +s%
 307 2011-07-16 03:01:12 <b4epoche> gmaxwell:  I mean backup every time a key is generated...

 312 2011-07-16 03:01:41 <gmaxwell> b4epoche: so every time you send bitcoin, yes that would work... but thats not much of a backup scheme. :)
 313 2011-07-16 03:02:01 <b4epoche> a one file raid
 314 2011-07-16 03:02:12 <gmaxwell> Yes, and Raid is not a backup.
 315 2011-07-16 03:02:24 <gmaxwell> rm -rf /   ooops.. my data is now redundantly deleted. ;)
 316 2011-07-16 03:02:35 <b4epoche> depends on the type of raid
 317 2011-07-16 03:03:14 <gmaxwell> all types of raid will replicate your deletion, — because raid (that provides redundancy at all) is high availablity, not backup. :)
 318 2011-07-16 03:04:15 <b4epoche> I thought there was one raid setup you could use as effectively a backup
 319 2011-07-16 03:04:21 <dsockwell> lol no
 320 2011-07-16 03:04:25 <dsockwell> maybe raidz
 321 2011-07-16 03:04:27 <dsockwell> maybe
 322 2011-07-16 03:04:39 <dsockwell> but that's zfs and no
 323 2011-07-16 03:05:02 <gmaxwell> no.. there are filesystems with snapshots, which if used right are a kind of weak online backup. But raid isn't a backup.

 325 2011-07-16 03:06:12 <b4epoche> it's drive swapping I'm thinking of but that's really not a good bitcoin wallet solution
 326 2011-07-16 03:06:35 <dsockwell> if you kept swapping out drives on a raid1 that's like a backup
 327 2011-07-16 03:06:39 <gmaxwell> hah, okay, yea, you could raid 1 and swap out drives..
 328 2011-07-16 03:06:47 <dsockwell> an expensive one
 329 2011-07-16 03:07:03 <gmaxwell> sadly drives are about the cheapest backup medium per gigabyte now.
 330 2011-07-16 03:07:04 <b4epoche> well, you could rotate through

 332 2011-07-16 03:07:33 <gmaxwell> b4epoche: just make sure your raid implementation is smart enough to not decide the old drive is the one you're keeping when you rotate it back in!
 333 2011-07-16 03:08:25 <b4epoche> keeping?  oldest drive (backup) gets overwritten
 334 2011-07-16 03:08:58 <senseles> just stick a backup of your wallet on an SSD
 335 2011-07-16 03:09:01 <senseles> and shove it in a safe
 336 2011-07-16 03:09:06 <dsockwell> ...
 337 2011-07-16 03:09:37 <gmaxwell> b4epoche: right, but you've got a mirror, you pull a drive. Insert a old one. System decides to rebuild the old one onto the new one. 0_o (because it's not like swapping in old drives is going to be a well tested case for a raid system)
 338 2011-07-16 03:09:52 <senseles> r1soft would be a good backup solution
 339 2011-07-16 03:09:55 <gmaxwell> In any case, backups are why there is a keypool.
 340 2011-07-16 03:10:00 <b4epoche> gmaxwell:  oh, I see what you're saying...

 403 2011-07-16 03:19:44 <gmaxwell> Kinda pricy, but it doesn't matter with six cards on it.
 404 2011-07-16 03:19:46 <bliket_> do you wish you bought the gd65?
 405 2011-07-16 03:19:53 <bliket_> like i do?
 406 2011-07-16 03:20:35 <b4epoche> 890FXA-GD70
 407 2011-07-16 03:20:40 <b4epoche> ah, yep
 408 2011-07-16 03:21:12 <gmaxwell> bliket_: no not really, the cost difference is only $7 per slot or something like that.
 409 2011-07-16 03:21:27 <bliket_> every penny saved is a penny earned
 410 2011-07-16 03:21:35 <gmaxwell> Same reason I wired up >1x, in case I do something else on them that can benefit from more bus bandwidth.
 411 2011-07-16 03:21:49 <bliket_> which will never be the case
 412 2011-07-16 03:22:08 <b4epoche> 65 only has 2 pcie, no?

 414 2011-07-16 03:22:11 <gmaxwell> Well, I've made a fair amount of money doing non-mining on my gpu systems.
 415 2011-07-16 03:22:31 <gmaxwell> (and in fact, I only started mining because I had gpus from other business)
 416 2011-07-16 03:22:34 <IO-> wait, you mean real work?
 417 2011-07-16 03:22:41 <gmaxwell> Yes.

 430 2011-07-16 03:23:58 <b4epoche> so, you test on your machines?
 431 2011-07-16 03:24:14 <bliket_> if jacking off means testing
 432 2011-07-16 03:24:19 <CheapScotsman> That would become a depressing job

 444 2011-07-16 03:26:27 <bliket_> anyone know why?
 445 2011-07-16 03:26:33 <gmaxwell> Power is cheap there?
 446 2011-07-16 03:26:40 <bliket_> yes US$0.006 per KWh
 447 2011-07-16 03:26:48 <gmaxwell> what? ?!
 448 2011-07-16 03:26:51 <bliket_> yep
 449 2011-07-16 03:27:14 <gmaxwell> damn, in utah (not where I am) you can apparently get to 0.045, but I think thats about the lowest in the US.
 450 2011-07-16 03:27:21 <gmaxwell> Are you sure thats the complete price there?
 451 2011-07-16 03:27:26 <bliket_> yes sir
 452 2011-07-16 03:28:00 <gmaxwell> but can we build flood proof miners?
 453 2011-07-16 03:29:04 <bliket_> yes
 454 2011-07-16 03:29:13 <bliket_> i guess you could call it that
 455 2011-07-16 03:29:30 <bliket_> so best to buy the cheapest $/mhash machine and move to the dominican republic
 456 2011-07-16 03:29:39 <bliket_> and start a datacenter there with all bitcoin miners
 457 2011-07-16 03:29:45 <bliket_> run AC all day
 458 2011-07-16 03:29:46 <senseles> was considering doing that
 459 2011-07-16 03:29:46 <bliket_> :D
 460 2011-07-16 03:29:51 <senseles> got 0.06 in my area of the US
 461 2011-07-16 03:29:51 <bliket_> AC ALL DAY
 462 2011-07-16 03:29:57 <senseles> then just run a small fiber line
 463 2011-07-16 03:30:03 <senseles> since it doesn't need much bandwidth
 464 2011-07-16 03:30:09 <gmaxwell> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_in_the_Dominican_Republic#Broadband_Internet_access
 465 2011-07-16 03:30:17 <bliket_> you could probably do it with 56k
 466 2011-07-16 03:30:26 <bliket_> how many miners can one run on 56k modem?
 467 2011-07-16 03:30:32 <bliket_> lets say 1ghash
 468 2011-07-16 03:30:34 <gmaxwell> senseles: 0.05(5?) here in the winter, 0.075 in the summer (now).
 469 2011-07-16 03:30:43 <senseles> sad dominican republic has better infrastructure than philippines
 470 2011-07-16 03:30:53 <gmaxwell> the latency on 56k modems is kinda terrible.
 471 2011-07-16 03:31:02 <gmaxwell> >200ms rtt just from the modem itself.
 472 2011-07-16 03:31:28 <gmaxwell> it appears that broadband is cheap in the Dominican Republic though.
 473 2011-07-16 03:31:30 <bliket_> ok you could probably get a residential wimax connection
 474 2011-07-16 03:31:49 <b4epoche> PA has pretty cheap rates too...
 475 2011-07-16 03:32:06 <b4epoche> hence my mining interest

 481 2011-07-16 03:33:41 <b4epoche> keep on frackin'
 482 2011-07-16 03:34:00 <senseles> best part about being offshore is you can give your machines to someone else ~
 483 2011-07-16 03:34:07 <senseles> for instance my wife own my bitcoin machines in the US
 484 2011-07-16 03:34:11 <senseles> and she's not an american
 485 2011-07-16 03:34:14 <senseles> so uh, no taxes
 486 2011-07-16 03:34:15 <senseles> lol.
 487 2011-07-16 03:34:26 <gmaxwell> eh. Tax games are for idiots, IMO.
 488 2011-07-16 03:34:53 <senseles> giving 25% of my money to some corporate controlled jackasses who are going to use it to further supress society is not my idea of money well spent
 489 2011-07-16 03:35:20 <gmaxwell> Taxes are just a cost of doing business, you factor them in, and live with them. The cost of just getting investigated is enormous, and the tax man usually comes out ahead.
 490 2011-07-16 03:35:21 <senseles> while they fuck prostitutes and show their cocks off on twitter
 491 2011-07-16 03:35:21 <b4epoche> and you'd spend it on?  pussy and beer?

 533 2011-07-16 03:41:21 <phantomcircuit> IO-, you realize that if you calculate the effective federal tax rate people in the bottom 60% of incomes pay zero to -8% taxes right?
 534 2011-07-16 03:41:31 <b4epoche> genis1:  like btc prices?
 535 2011-07-16 03:41:52 <genis1> well, btc might go up as USD goes down
 536 2011-07-16 03:42:22 <genis1> normally money chases items that store value or are deflationary. like gold, and possibly btc
 537 2011-07-16 03:42:39 <b4epoche> I mean the volatility
 538 2011-07-16 03:43:10 <senseles> even with all my bitching US is still one of the lowest tax rates in the world
 539 2011-07-16 03:43:13 <gmaxwell> phantomcircuit: even if you had a flat tax rate at 35% people in the bottom 60% wouldn't account for crap because income is so unequal in the US.
 540 2011-07-16 03:43:26 <senseles> I'm paying about 25%
 541 2011-07-16 03:43:32 <senseles> as a self-employed individual

 548 2011-07-16 03:44:16 <senseles> i wonder how many of the miners are in the US

 552 2011-07-16 03:44:31 <senseles> as people have to sell off hardware to make ends meet
 553 2011-07-16 03:45:01 <gmaxwell> genis1: if you inflation correct the brackets that hasn't been that case, as they've been continually revised downwards effectively. Also, people with greater income have many more options to avoid taxes.

 557 2011-07-16 03:45:35 <senseles> then donating all your income to your own foundation
 558 2011-07-16 03:45:40 <senseles> then use that foundation to pay your bills

 601 2011-07-16 03:54:33 <zeph97> he could choose other article, but why that was chosen?
 602 2011-07-16 03:54:41 <zeph97> yeah, he want us to read it :)
 603 2011-07-16 03:54:56 <gmaxwell> Because its a snark about the current economic systems in use.
 604 2011-07-16 03:56:36 <bliket_> maybe he had no political motivations
 605 2011-07-16 03:56:55 <Akiron> gmaxwell: any sense where the special transaction that indicates where new mined bitcoins are to be sent is made and included in a block?

 613 2011-07-16 03:57:57 <Akiron> bliket_: he choose a British newspaper to get everyone off the scent that he lives in the U.S.
 614 2011-07-16 03:58:27 <gmaxwell> Akiron: hm? it's called the coinbase transaction, it's the first one included in the block.
 615 2011-07-16 03:58:39 <unclemantis> i am looking at Casascius's paper wallet and I see a Private key and a hex code. When I try and convert the private key (which i think is base58) to hex (base16) I get an error saying that the key is not a valid base58 string. I then do the reverse and try and change the hex to base58 and I get something that completely does not resemble the private key at all. What am i doing wrong?
 616 2011-07-16 03:58:49 <gmaxwell> Akiron: he pretty reliably used UK english.
 617 2011-07-16 03:58:49 <Akiron> gmaxwell: oh duh, that makes so much sense
 618 2011-07-16 03:59:15 <Akiron> gmaxwell: yeah, but he sleeps like he's in the Western Hemisphere
 619 2011-07-16 03:59:52 <bliket_> when have we last heard from satoshi?

 623 2011-07-16 04:00:41 <Akiron> i guess satoshi deleted his posts
 624 2011-07-16 04:02:01 <Akiron> hwolf: well, it's possible, but absent evidence to suggest so, i'm not moved
 625 2011-07-16 04:02:20 <gmaxwell> Who knows? Who cares. It's not important.
 626 2011-07-16 04:02:29 <Akiron> satoshi deleted his posting time activity

 633 2011-07-16 04:03:53 <hwolf> I like the wacky theories, like he is from the future.
 634 2011-07-16 04:04:04 <hwolf> or from outer space
 635 2011-07-16 04:04:29 <unclemantis> or from the ground
 636 2011-07-16 04:05:24 <bliket_> he is a plant
 637 2011-07-16 04:05:28 <gmaxwell> He's actually a woman in south america.

 643 2011-07-16 04:07:34 <senseles> kind of not surprising that it was invented in argentina
 644 2011-07-16 04:07:36 <hwolf> you see the reason all of the bee population is dieing is because BTC was created
 645 2011-07-16 04:07:38 <Akiron> satoshi = deep throat
 646 2011-07-16 04:09:14 <gmaxwell> yea, a portal to the bee dimension was opened by the tevatron, and satoshi came through to teach use the method that the hyper-bees use for consensus currency.
 647 2011-07-16 04:09:33 <hwolf> I knew it!
 648 2011-07-16 04:09:42 <gmaxwell> The whole hive heritage made them really good at decenteralized protocols.

 665 2011-07-16 04:17:03 <hwolf> bee's had one purpose, and that was to explain and teach the only human that could understand 6th dimensional thought how to create a decentralized form of money.  the creation of bitcoin coincides with the drastic decline in bee populations.  the bee's are checking out of planet earth now that bitcoin was created

 668 2011-07-16 04:18:02 <hwolf> satoshi is actually a bee's that figures out how to communicate over the internet
 669 2011-07-16 04:18:12 <sacarlson> does the coinDD of 30% mean that bitcoin has only had 36.2% of it's total coins ever in circulation?  as seen in http://abe.john-edwin-tobey.org/
 670 2011-07-16 04:18:13 <hwolf> I mean he is a group of bee's
 671 2011-07-16 04:18:54 <quellhorst> bees have moved their brains to the internet

 677 2011-07-16 04:21:12 <gmaxwell> sacarlson: thats not what coinDD is measuring.
 678 2011-07-16 04:21:21 <sacarlson> everyone know that satoshi is an extraterstrial that never even came to earth just taped into the Internet and provided bitcoin tech.
 679 2011-07-16 04:21:28 <sacarlson> gmaxwell: oh what is it?
 680 2011-07-16 04:22:03 <gmaxwell> sacarlson: if you hold onto 10 btc for 1 day and send it to another address thats 10 bitcoin days destroyed.
 681 2011-07-16 04:22:33 <gmaxwell> That char calculates what percentage of the total possible number of BDD have happened.
 682 2011-07-16 04:23:05 <gmaxwell> So e.g. if the first block were spent 24 hours after it was first created, then that would destroy just one day (a very small number from that count)

 794 2011-07-16 06:53:50 <infinitev> or is there an even better one now
 795 2011-07-16 06:54:31 <[Tycho]> What is "hdtv chips" ?

 799 2011-07-16 07:00:20 <infinitev> people were ripping the chips from hdtv and using them to calculate the SHA hashes at quite a high speed anyone here know anything about it
 800 2011-07-16 07:01:36 <infinitev> lol
 801 2011-07-16 07:02:03 <wirehead> that sounds so impractical
 802 2011-07-16 07:02:05 <forrestv> infinitev, i'd guess that those are just fpgas
 803 2011-07-16 07:02:14 <forrestv> there's no reason for them to have a sha-256 asic ...
 804 2011-07-16 07:02:30 <wirehead> oh my gaw let's butcher hdtvs for their chips instead of directly ordering them
 805 2011-07-16 07:02:32 <infinitev> ahh
 806 2011-07-16 07:02:47 <infinitev> well i haven't done it
 807 2011-07-16 07:02:58 <infinitev> and those things die soo quick, they just replace them if they go

 809 2011-07-16 07:03:24 <infinitev> so i don't think anyone is going out anf getting hdtv just for chips but using old ones for parts etc
 810 2011-07-16 07:05:12 <infinitev> trying to find the calculation but they were managing to get 4.0 Ghash/s they reckoned

 824 2011-07-16 07:10:00 <doublec> my opinion is it is a clever marketing campaign by hdtv manufacturers to sell more tv's
 825 2011-07-16 07:10:13 <infinitev> lol @ wirehead --> thats it send me your hdtv i'm gonna rip out the chips :P
 826 2011-07-16 07:10:29 <doublec> obviously they are jealous of the number of ati gpu's being sold for mining purposes
 827 2011-07-16 07:10:38 <infinitev> doublec.. ok
 828 2011-07-16 07:10:46 <infinitev> lol
 829 2011-07-16 07:12:44 <infinitev> FPGA mining is different to GPU mining right?

 833 2011-07-16 07:14:05 <infinitev> but hey
 834 2011-07-16 07:14:39 <infinitev> ***weren't

 837 2011-07-16 07:15:50 <infinitev> How likely is it that running Bitcoin mining on FPGA mining will come to replace GPU mining? If it is likely, how long will it be?
 838 2011-07-16 07:15:50 <infinitev> Consider the following:
 839 2011-07-16 07:15:50 <infinitev> FPGA is more energy (and space) efficient than GPUs.
 840 2011-07-16 07:15:50 <infinitev> Cost and energy efficient GPUs are consistently out of stock (the 58xx series, for example, is next to impossible to find right now).
 841 2011-07-16 07:15:50 <infinitev> AMD isn't likely to produce substantial improvements to mining performance with the HD 7xxx series (just look at the lack of a 5xxx -> 6xxx series improvement, and consider that 7xxx is likely to use 6xxx architecture).
 842 2011-07-16 07:15:50 <infinitev> Therefore unless the price per BTC continues to increase in tandem with difficulty, we may reach a point where mining on most GPU hardware is no longer profitable (and hardware which IS profitable is impossible to obtain).
 843 2011-07-16 07:15:50 <infinitev> The only obstacles with FPGA mining seem to be 1) the willingness of individuals to share information. That is, FPGA mining seems to be falling victim to a "trade secret" mentality. Although an open-source FPGA miner was released recently so there is some willingness. And 2) the upfront cost which is significantly more than current GPUs. However, this cost may be largely due to a lack of
 844 2011-07-16 07:15:51 <infinitev> optimizations which are currently kept secret (see #1).
 845 2011-07-16 07:15:51 <infinitev> Thoughts?

 851 2011-07-16 07:21:22 <infinitev> they used hdtv chips to make the fpga array
 852 2011-07-16 07:21:24 <mtrlt> yeah sounds like bullshit
 853 2011-07-16 07:21:30 <infinitev> okay
 854 2011-07-16 07:21:34 <infinitev> its bullshit
 855 2011-07-16 07:21:41 <infinitev> keep mining with your gpu's
 856 2011-07-16 07:22:24 <mtrlt> well so far i've only heard one person tell an anecdotal story
 857 2011-07-16 07:22:38 <senseles> it's already not profitable on most systems
 858 2011-07-16 07:22:47 <senseles> but that doesnt stop people from trying to buy 6990s

 863 2011-07-16 07:23:19 <doublec> infinitev: I'm not saying fpga's are or are not useful, or gpu's are or are not dead
 864 2011-07-16 07:23:30 <mtrlt> infinitev: anecdotal story that sounds very far-fetched, i might ad.
 865 2011-07-16 07:23:31 <mtrlt> add
 866 2011-07-16 07:23:34 <infinitev> doublec: ahh
 867 2011-07-16 07:23:36 <doublec> infinitev: like mtrlt, there's nothing showing anything about hdtv's other than you
 868 2011-07-16 07:23:49 <doublec> infinitev: so I'm saying "I don't believe this hdtv stuff"
 869 2011-07-16 07:23:50 <infinitev> mtrlt: how about do some research then answer the wuestion when you know what your talking about
 870 2011-07-16 07:23:54 <mtrlt> yea i was talking about the hdtv stuff
 871 2011-07-16 07:23:58 <infinitev> i am not saying this is true thats why i am fucking asking
 872 2011-07-16 07:24:03 <mtrlt> i know fpgas can be used for mining.
 873 2011-07-16 07:24:42 <doublec> infinitev: thanks for asking. the answer to your query is "highly unlikely"
 874 2011-07-16 07:24:56 <infinitev> what is an fpga array's made up of
 875 2011-07-16 07:24:58 <mtrlt> i concur

 882 2011-07-16 07:25:29 <Eliel_> well, if he hdtv stuff has fpga:s in them that can be removed intact, there are some people positioned so they could get them reasonably cheaply that way.

 888 2011-07-16 07:26:09 <mtrlt> the second part is possible

 890 2011-07-16 07:26:26 <infinitev> one sec

 915 2011-07-16 07:32:20 <infinitev> can someone who knows what they're talking about fill me in whether this technique is the best to go forward with or if there is something better to do with
 916 2011-07-16 07:32:48 <mtrlt> if you can get cheap fpgas, go for it.
 917 2011-07-16 07:33:01 <Eliel_> yep, this won't work for everyone
 918 2011-07-16 07:33:54 <Eliel_> good thing I've got flat rate electricity :)
 919 2011-07-16 07:34:18 <Eliel_> so, other than dealing with the heat, I don't need to worry about energy efficiency :P
 920 2011-07-16 07:34:26 <infinitev> really flat rate electricity
 921 2011-07-16 07:34:29 <infinitev> thats awesome

 924 2011-07-16 07:35:08 <senseles> they did that stuff in crappy apartments in college
 925 2011-07-16 07:35:22 <senseles> flat rate electricity i mean

 927 2011-07-16 07:35:27 <mtrlt> Eliel_: heat and the noise :-P

 939 2011-07-16 07:42:55 <Eliel_> yeah, it only does around a tenth of that.
 940 2011-07-16 07:43:04 <Eliel_> at least with current software
 941 2011-07-16 07:43:13 <senseles> i guess the biggest step is production?
 942 2011-07-16 07:43:23 <senseles> once its designed, etc?
 943 2011-07-16 07:43:57 <Eliel_> yep, think so.
 944 2011-07-16 07:44:30 <[Tycho]> The biggest stop is mask creation.

 948 2011-07-16 07:45:19 <Eliel_> but if the hdtv systems use those same fpga chips, someone able to put together a board like this and then make it usable on a system... well... I'm finding myself doubting the chips from hdtv:s would be so useful

 957 2011-07-16 07:48:32 <cjdelisle> Yea those links don't look promising
 958 2011-07-16 07:49:52 <cjdelisle> I was imagining someone who worked at a foundry that did small production runs would build them but I suppose it would be more investement than any individual could pony up.
 959 2011-07-16 07:54:58 <senseles> arent there existing chips you can just plaster on pcb ?
 960 2011-07-16 07:54:59 Nexus7 has quit ()
 961 2011-07-16 07:55:24 <senseles> when you're talking about production runs you mean for a specialized processor?
 962 2011-07-16 07:55:28 <Eliel_> cjdelisle: aside from those with huge numbers of bitcoins stacked up.
 963 2011-07-16 07:56:52 <senseles> so fpga chips you're looking at like 200mhash/s for 8 watts?
 964 2011-07-16 07:57:02 <senseles> there was a thread on the forum where some guy was making his own boards
 965 2011-07-16 07:57:04 <[Tycho]> senseles, check wikipedia for "FPGA" and "ASIC" terms to see the difference.
 966 2011-07-16 07:57:35 <senseles> i understand the difference but i wasnt sure if you were talking about the production of PCB, etc to be expensive
 967 2011-07-16 07:57:44 <senseles> or if it was the chip fabrication that was the most expensive
 968 2011-07-16 07:57:51 <senseles> seems FPGA would be a good short cut
 969 2011-07-16 07:58:10 <[Tycho]> PCBs are cheap
 970 2011-07-16 07:58:38 JFK911_ has joined
 971 2011-07-16 07:58:39 <senseles> so if you can get your hands on some cheap FPGA chips you could slap them on PCB and at least have a more cost effective way than GPU's to mine
 972 2011-07-16 07:58:55 <senseles> im assuming thats what the guy was talking about with HDTV
 973 2011-07-16 07:58:58 <senseles> chips
 974 2011-07-16 07:59:02 <[Tycho]> FPGAs are expensive and a little bit slower, but you can use different firmware and upgrade them as you wish.
 975 2011-07-16 07:59:44 <[Tycho]> ASICs are cheap, but they aren't reprogrammable and you need very expensive masks to start a production run of real chips.
 976 2011-07-16 08:00:01 <senseles> mask to etch onto the wafer?
 977 2011-07-16 08:00:04 <[Tycho]> Yes.

 980 2011-07-16 08:00:41 <senseles> once you have a mask is it reusable or does it degrade over time?
 981 2011-07-16 08:00:50 <senseles> like, is there a maximum production run per mask?
 982 2011-07-16 08:00:52 <[Tycho]> It will last long enough.

1013 2011-07-16 08:05:47 <senseles> there could be an overlooked flaw when they go to make the mask
1014 2011-07-16 08:05:54 <senseles> and then they end up printing 10,000 nonfunctional chips

1186 2011-07-16 11:50:34 <prof7bit> there exists a native pascal implementation of ecdsa (along with its own unit to do big integer arithmetics) but i did not like it, the code looked not very elegant and very 1980's like (without making use of modern language features like some OOP and operator overloading for the bignum stuff)

1188 2011-07-16 11:52:57 <prof7bit> and also i suspected endian problems in its bignum library and I want a completely portable implementation.
1189 2011-07-16 11:54:17 <prof7bit> so i finally decided to use the well tested openssl instead.

1208 2011-07-16 12:11:49 <Zagitta> does it matter in what order i hash things? Do i for example need to know all the transactions before hashing so they can be iterated or can i simply add them one by one like currentHash = sha256(sha256(hash1 | hash2)) and then add(newHash): currentHash sha256(sha256(currentHash | newHash))  ?

1220 2011-07-16 12:25:59 <sacarlson> with the new code for aux chain but after reading https://github.com/vinced/namecoin/blob/mergedmine/doc/README_merged-mining.md I think I could just run off aux on an alternate chain and hopefully only as mostly a listener to the bitcoin main net as aux. as a rule only one block per each bitcoin block added to the parent block chain
1221 2011-07-16 12:26:03 <sacarlson> would that work?

1225 2011-07-16 12:29:01 <sacarlson> so a miner on this new alternate chain would just use bitcoin as a time stamp and first miner to use the validated stamp would mine the block in the alternate chain
1226 2011-07-16 12:30:21 <sacarlson> this I would think would eliminated the need for powerfull mining on alternate chains

1234 2011-07-16 12:39:45 <sacarlson> and I'm hoping wouldn't even require any changes in the bitcoin miners to implement as we only need to add changes to the  listener miners
1235 2011-07-16 12:41:15 <cjdelisle> what exactly is the problem being solved by merged mining?
1236 2011-07-16 12:41:44 <sacarlson> cjdelisle: in the namecoin or in this new alternate chain?
1237 2011-07-16 12:42:14 <cjdelisle> In your chain

1239 2011-07-16 12:42:48 <cjdelisle> I don't know what it solves in namecoin either but I assume namecoin has different requirements.
1240 2011-07-16 12:42:50 <sacarlson> cjdelisle: in my chain it would reduce the power needed to keep security for unlimited aux chains

1244 2011-07-16 12:44:46 <cjdelisle> Ahh, so you are talking about creating an alt chain which tracks the mainline chain.
1245 2011-07-16 12:45:38 <sacarlson> cjdelisle: yes as what is really done in bitcoin it to create validated time stamps to imprint transactions

1249 2011-07-16 12:46:53 <BlueMatt> only if its done in the coinbase

1256 2011-07-16 12:48:02 <BlueMatt> the only way to add security to an alternate chain through bitcoin's mining power is to add block hashes of the alternate chain to coinbase in bitcoin
1257 2011-07-16 12:48:20 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: you could have multiple listener miners that monitor bitcoin and the first to broadcast there added solution would add to the alternate chain
1258 2011-07-16 12:48:56 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: yes and that's what the new namecoin software does

1282 2011-07-16 12:51:56 <BlueMatt> than just a standard separate chain
1283 2011-07-16 12:52:14 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: a separate chain with only 300kh/sec?
1284 2011-07-16 12:52:29 <BlueMatt> yes, this mining method adds no security to that

1287 2011-07-16 12:53:14 <BlueMatt> unless you are actually storing information in bitcoin blocks, you are adding nothing
1288 2011-07-16 12:53:49 <cjdelisle> Because that would sort of work but then your wallet id would be hardcoded into the software and it would trust you asif you were god.

1290 2011-07-16 12:54:07 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: you are adding all the transaction that happend in the time between the bitcoin event of a block mineing event
1291 2011-07-16 12:54:46 <BlueMatt> sacarlson: the whole point of alternate chains is: you make not only the alternate chain miners verify the validity of their blocks, but you also make bitcoin miners do it as well.  In other words miners are mining on both chains at once with the same hashes
1292 2011-07-16 12:54:57 <BlueMatt> what you are doing here is clearly not that, so you gain nothing
1293 2011-07-16 12:55:13 <BlueMatt> the point is to get more mining power
1294 2011-07-16 12:56:11 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: well I assume the linked mining of namecoin will add security to there net?
1295 2011-07-16 12:57:08 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: but I thought the real goal of mining was to create timestamps but I must be wrong
1296 2011-07-16 12:57:33 <BlueMatt> ah that link you just posted, no that is correct as it adds the current merkle hash to the coinbase of bitcoin blocks
1297 2011-07-16 12:57:37 <BlueMatt> no that is not the point of mining
1298 2011-07-16 12:58:41 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: so to take advantage of this new version I would still require mods to bitcoin miners or do a patch to some namecoin pools to acheave added security
1299 2011-07-16 12:58:53 <BlueMatt> yep
1300 2011-07-16 12:59:08 <BlueMatt> that is the *only* way to get more security in a second chain
1301 2011-07-16 12:59:15 <BlueMatt> aside from adding more mining power, that is

1312 2011-07-16 13:01:46 <BlueMatt> oh, I see what you are saying
1313 2011-07-16 13:01:54 <BlueMatt> yea well yea if you use namecoin as the parent chain
1314 2011-07-16 13:02:04 <BlueMatt> but why would you do that?
1315 2011-07-16 13:02:08 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: yes namecoin as parant
1316 2011-07-16 13:02:16 <BlueMatt> namecoin doesnt have nearly the same power as bitcoin
1317 2011-07-16 13:02:48 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: because I would expect they require less power to produce I could use a smaller pool to get results
1318 2011-07-16 13:03:21 <BlueMatt> well, the doc you posted isnt quite done right, its close, but not quite
1319 2011-07-16 13:03:40 <BlueMatt> in the parent block, instead of storing a merkle root for the subchain
1320 2011-07-16 13:03:56 <BlueMatt> you should store a merkle root for a merkle tree containing the merkle roots of subchains
1321 2011-07-16 13:04:00 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: I guess I could create a good single linked to bitcoin and that could become the parant to many if it was that easy
1322 2011-07-16 13:04:06 cjdelisle has joined
1323 2011-07-16 13:04:06 <BlueMatt> that way you can have unlimited subchains gaining the same security from bitcoin

1326 2011-07-16 13:05:17 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: I just asume a big net like bitcoin will take too long to get things done,  I want instant changes without much interaction
1327 2011-07-16 13:05:38 <BlueMatt> no, you just need one miner who gets blocks
1328 2011-07-16 13:05:56 <BlueMatt> you dont need to get every miner to change
1329 2011-07-16 13:06:02 <BlueMatt> say, just get one pool
1330 2011-07-16 13:06:15 <BlueMatt> wont provide as much security, but if that pool is trustworthy enough, it would work
1331 2011-07-16 13:06:23 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: so with one pool I'll get blocks every hour?
1332 2011-07-16 13:06:42 <BlueMatt> you dont have to have *every* block in the superchain
1333 2011-07-16 13:06:54 <BlueMatt> blocks are tied to their previous blocks so you can just have one block a week
1334 2011-07-16 13:07:14 <BlueMatt> not as good security, but it provides some
1335 2011-07-16 13:07:54 <sacarlson> BlueMatt: that's why I thought I didn't really need any blocks at all if one a week is good why not one per year or 12 years is what my computer creates
1336 2011-07-16 13:08:17 <BlueMatt> what?

1345 2011-07-16 13:11:42 <[Tycho]> senseles, what questions ?
1346 2011-07-16 13:12:00 <senseles> well i was going through and reading all the forum posts about FPGA
1347 2011-07-16 13:12:08 <senseles> my dad is an EE and i wanted to get a board to play with
1348 2011-07-16 13:12:16 <senseles> I was looking on ebay and i found this

1350 2011-07-16 13:12:27 <senseles> According to what I read on the forum
1351 2011-07-16 13:12:45 <senseles> you need 5000 logic gates roughly for each pipeline
1352 2011-07-16 13:12:52 <sacarlson> senseles: I used to play with xlinx and altera but that was long ago
1353 2011-07-16 13:13:03 <senseles> according to the stats on that chip it's 25000 logic gates @ a max clock speed of 50mhz
1354 2011-07-16 13:13:13 <senseles> according to my math that would me each chip would be capable of 200mhash/s
1355 2011-07-16 13:13:16 <senseles> which can't be right
1356 2011-07-16 13:13:25 <[Tycho]> 5000 gates ? So it's not really unfolded...
1357 2011-07-16 13:13:50 <senseles> what do you mean?
1358 2011-07-16 13:14:12 <senseles> i was a CE so i didn't take many of these classes :(

1360 2011-07-16 13:14:19 <[Tycho]> I would expect more gates to full pipeline (1 clock per hash)
1361 2011-07-16 13:14:46 <sacarlson> senseles: the code is much like programing mostly case stuf we played with
1362 2011-07-16 13:14:47 <senseles> the way i was reading it, it needed 2x 2500 gates for 1 hash per clock

1365 2011-07-16 13:15:35 <senseles> or did i misread and it was 10000 gates for 1 hash per clock?
1366 2011-07-16 13:15:48 <[Tycho]> Of course I may be wrong.
1367 2011-07-16 13:16:35 <senseles> even with 10000 gates for 1 hash per clock
1368 2011-07-16 13:16:45 <senseles> that would still be 100mhash/s per chip
1369 2011-07-16 13:16:52 <senseles> for a 20$ chip
1370 2011-07-16 13:17:16 <BlueMatt> but whats the power usage compared to a gpu?
1371 2011-07-16 13:17:19 cjdelisle has joined
1372 2011-07-16 13:17:20 <senseles> i guess what im wondering is, everyone says it's expensive yet on ebay it seems like fpga bonanza
1373 2011-07-16 13:17:27 <sacarlson> senseles: I thought there was already open source project for  fpga in bitcoin
1374 2011-07-16 13:17:31 <BlueMatt> some of the fgpas arent that great
1375 2011-07-16 13:18:01 <b4epoche> an fpga bonanza?  on ebay you say?
1376 2011-07-16 13:18:04 <senseles> i didnt check the power usage but im assuming it'd be less than 75watts
1377 2011-07-16 13:18:15 <senseles> theres a FPGA blade server in there for 9999$
1378 2011-07-16 13:18:17 <mosimo> how much would it cost for the controller boards to run 72 chips like that?
1379 2011-07-16 13:18:24 <mosimo> ah :P
1380 2011-07-16 13:18:41 <senseles> well the PCB would have to be custom designed i suppose

1387 2011-07-16 13:20:24 <senseles> if it's FPGA power usage should be < 10 watts for 1 chip
1388 2011-07-16 13:20:30 <senseles> i didn't check

1444 2011-07-16 13:47:01 <senseles> the other XC2S50 is 100$ for 20 of em on ebay
1445 2011-07-16 13:47:58 <senseles> maybe 1500-2000$ for 5000+mhash/s
1446 2011-07-16 13:48:06 <[Tycho]> You should also consider the amount of work to make FPGA-PC interface.
1447 2011-07-16 13:48:23 <senseles> drivers and what not?
1448 2011-07-16 13:48:33 <senseles> I guess i would need a custom miner too
1449 2011-07-16 13:48:59 <[Tycho]> It's relatively easy with development kit, but with bare chips it may me more difficult.
1450 2011-07-16 13:49:20 <senseles> is my math at least right in regards to mhash/s to cost?
1451 2011-07-16 13:49:21 <[Tycho]> *be

1545 2011-07-16 14:38:26 <b4epoche> maybe drivers will be improved, eh?
1546 2011-07-16 14:38:32 <phantomcircuit> there's a reason you have to be in a special group to have accelerated rendering on gentoo

1551 2011-07-16 14:39:21 <b4epoche> well, why do you have to be bleeding on the edge?
1552 2011-07-16 14:39:44 <phantomcircuit> b4epoche, because the latest and fastest gpus only work with bleeding edge drivers of course

1557 2011-07-16 14:41:36 <mtrlt> and i'd assume emulating bitwise operations would be faster with ints than floats

1564 2011-07-16 14:43:13 <mtrlt> is using floats faster than using those? sounds weird
1565 2011-07-16 14:44:19 <Joric> i don't know really maybe it's really faster to use integers instead i didn't check, it's all based on the same piece of code

1624 2011-07-16 15:31:25 <Eliel_> would a checksum calculated with ECC coding be preferable? With a checksum of 4 bytes, you could automatically correct for up to 2 typoes and detect (with 100% reliability) up to 4 of them.
1625 2011-07-16 15:32:28 <Joric> well, it's already established
1626 2011-07-16 15:33:22 <Eliel_> yes, can't transition immediately. but if the support was added, you could do that, eventually.
1627 2011-07-16 15:33:29 <mtrlt> yep
1628 2011-07-16 15:33:40 <mtrlt> i would like a better checksum
1629 2011-07-16 15:34:08 <Eliel_> automatic typo correction would be quite sweet feature :)
1630 2011-07-16 15:34:15 <mtrlt> :P
1631 2011-07-16 15:34:18 <mtrlt> what if you typo the checksum?

1634 2011-07-16 15:35:05 <Eliel_> as far as I'm aware, if you use reed-solomon codes, it can handle 2 typoes total (summed from both the data an the checksum)

1636 2011-07-16 15:35:12 <mtrlt> hmm
1637 2011-07-16 15:35:22 <mtrlt> that sounds good
1638 2011-07-16 15:36:42 <Eliel_> I'm not sure how reliable it is if the number of typoes is over 4. It will catch at least some of them.
1639 2011-07-16 15:37:53 <mtrlt> but in that case you should learn to type :-P
1640 2011-07-16 15:39:33 <Eliel_> my intuition would tell me it's somewhat less reliable than the current checksum with heavy errors :)
1641 2011-07-16 15:39:41 <Eliel_> but this is not based on knowledge
1642 2011-07-16 15:39:48 <sacarlson> eliel_ so where is the algo for this ECC?
1643 2011-07-16 15:39:56 <Eliel_> google reed solomon

1646 2011-07-16 15:40:35 <sacarlson> Eliel_: most just cut and paist and might miss the last leters
1647 2011-07-16 15:41:09 <sacarlson> Eliel_: so in that case you would be missing the checksum part or in your case the EEC data needed to fix it
1648 2011-07-16 15:41:25 <Eliel_> reed-solomon should be able to handle that just fine as long as the data is correct
1649 2011-07-16 15:42:11 <Eliel_> and only 2 characters are missing.

1653 2011-07-16 15:42:59 <Eliel_> 5 or 6 but... which
1654 2011-07-16 15:44:23 <Eliel_> also, the checksum would need to be calculated from the base58 output, not from the binary key
1655 2011-07-16 15:44:28 <Eliel_> with reed-solomon
1656 2011-07-16 15:45:06 <Eliel_> otherwise the error correction would be reduced to perhaps being able to correct for one typo. With luck 2
1657 2011-07-16 15:45:18 <lfm> Eliel_: you taket as a 25 byte long integer and convert to base 58. it is not encoded spearatly

1664 2011-07-16 15:48:06 <lfm> I think the shortest is 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 which is the encoding of a zero key
1665 2011-07-16 15:48:48 <Eliel_> for using reed-solomon as the checksum, you'd have to drop the sha256 based checksum, encode to base58 and then use a base-58 version of r-s coding to make 6 extra bytes to tag a the end.

1672 2011-07-16 15:49:33 <lfm> too late to change that
1673 2011-07-16 15:50:02 <Eliel_> it's too late to change right now but you could add support for r-s addresses and just wait until most clients support them before allowing usage.
1674 2011-07-16 15:50:25 <lfm> you make your own currency system and do it your way. bitcoin is this way
1675 2011-07-16 15:50:28 <Eliel_> it would be quite significant usability improvement
1676 2011-07-16 15:50:43 <Eliel_> people will be typing those addresses by hand at times

1720 2011-07-16 16:01:47 <Joric> btw the last bitcoin show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ2aCikKqww is all about qr codes
1721 2011-07-16 16:01:53 <Eliel_> sacarlson: it does not need any changes to the protocol, really.
1722 2011-07-16 16:02:00 <mtrlt> lfm: it doesn't matter what the representation of the address is as long as you can get the pubkey hash and the version out of it.
1723 2011-07-16 16:02:28 <lfm> sacarlson: thats what I said, he can do what he wants with his own currency. bitcoin has base58 already and its not worth it to make a new one
1724 2011-07-16 16:02:36 <mtrlt> but anyway i'd like a system to make remembering private keys easy. like constructing a sentence from the privkey. then you wouldn't have the key anywhere until you need it :P
1725 2011-07-16 16:02:57 <lfm> mtrlt: good luck with that
1726 2011-07-16 16:02:59 <mtrlt> the base58 representation is not stored in the chain, dammit
1727 2011-07-16 16:03:05 <mtrlt> >_<
1728 2011-07-16 16:03:18 <sacarlson> Eliel_: oh I guess to could work if it would except eather one but one side would send his address and the other would have to accept eather of the two or 100 formats
1729 2011-07-16 16:03:25 <lfm> I never said it was stored in the chain

1732 2011-07-16 16:04:47 <Eliel_> sacarlson: yes, it pretty much needs to be supported by the most used bitcoin client to be of any real use.
1733 2011-07-16 16:05:15 <Eliel_> at least, as far as being able to interpret it goes. It doesn't need to be able to generate one :P

1756 2011-07-16 16:15:02 <prof7bit> not the berkeley magic bytes. the bytes in the network potocol.

1778 2011-07-16 16:23:29 <BlueMatt> tell MagicalTux to write it
1779 2011-07-16 16:23:33 <BlueMatt> ;)
1780 2011-07-16 16:24:40 * b4epoche thinks there's no possible way satoshi is japanese
1781 2011-07-16 16:25:34 * BlueMatt agrees
1782 2011-07-16 16:26:07 <copumpkin> the usual argument for him not being japanese hinges on the good quality of his english writing, doesn't it? :P
1783 2011-07-16 16:26:15 <copumpkin> seems rather prejudiced
1784 2011-07-16 16:26:27 <BlueMatt> also hinges on his lack of posting during japanese time zones
1785 2011-07-16 16:26:37 <BlueMatt> could still be japanese, but living in us/eur
1786 2011-07-16 16:26:38 <copumpkin> he could conceivably be a japanese expat :)
1787 2011-07-16 16:26:40 <Joric> damn i've missed a new episode of futurama, one day late already :)
1788 2011-07-16 16:26:40 <mtrlt> maybe he sleeps during the day
1789 2011-07-16 16:27:05 <copumpkin> expat would also explain good English, assuming he was living in an English-speaking country
1790 2011-07-16 16:27:15 <b4epoche> well, first satoshi is certainly not his real name...

1797 2011-07-16 16:28:49 <b4epoche> I'm just saying that it limits the probability
1798 2011-07-16 16:28:50 <BlueMatt> its /possible/ he is japanese, but the probability of him being japanese is lower than him being english/american/german/etc/etc/etc

1806 2011-07-16 16:30:45 <b4epoche> I'm saying the majority of the well-educated Japanese have trouble with English
1807 2011-07-16 16:30:46 <Joric> what if he both japanese and english is his native language? :)
1808 2011-07-16 16:30:47 <copumpkin> okay, maybe a word or two

1813 2011-07-16 16:31:27 <Joric> but they can have japanese names

1853 2011-07-16 16:35:44 <BlueMatt> b4epoche: absolutely, but not to the point of being anarchist
1854 2011-07-16 16:36:00 <b4epoche> probably a higher percent than in the general population
1855 2011-07-16 16:36:05 <copumpkin> BlueMatt: you need to show that people at the best universities are _less likely_ than the general population
1856 2011-07-16 16:36:13 <copumpkin> to be anti-establishment
1857 2011-07-16 16:36:16 <BlueMatt> copumpkin: you have to admit anarchists tend to come from people in lower socioeconomic classes
1858 2011-07-16 16:36:16 <copumpkin> which seems like a tough claim
1859 2011-07-16 16:36:28 <BlueMatt> copumpkin: which is my point
1860 2011-07-16 16:36:41 <BlueMatt> ok, anti-establishment is the wrong word here, anarchist would be better
1861 2011-07-16 16:36:45 <b4epoche> and it kinda depends on what you mean by anti-establishment

1884 2011-07-16 16:39:15 <BlueMatt> b4epoche: Im not so sure, seems like not many professors, though they may express complaints about, disagree with the bank bailouts

1905 2011-07-16 16:43:36 <copumpkin> :)
1906 2011-07-16 16:43:36 <b4epoche> satoshi obviously had free time to devote to bitcoin...  and I would love to believe it was 'tenure' that gave him that freedom
1907 2011-07-16 16:43:42 <denisx> Zagitta: but for that it would need the real target and pushpoold sends only the diff-1 target
1908 2011-07-16 16:43:42 <devrandom> BlueMatt: we shall see
1909 2011-07-16 16:43:44 <BlueMatt> freewil: wow, that is bs...
1910 2011-07-16 16:44:14 <BlueMatt> b4epoche: well we will never know...
1911 2011-07-16 16:44:20 <Joric> it would be great to have a small plain c core, torvalds style :) but i didn't see any
1912 2011-07-16 16:44:26 <freewil> BlueMatt: what is?
1913 2011-07-16 16:44:30 <BlueMatt> that article
1914 2011-07-16 16:44:41 <freewil> BlueMatt: why?
1915 2011-07-16 16:44:44 <Zagitta> denisx: ever considered that the current target might either be hardcoded or retrieved from blockexplorer?
1916 2011-07-16 16:44:47 <BlueMatt> though it has nothing to do with bailout discussions
1917 2011-07-16 16:45:05 <BlueMatt> fed didnt buy economics profession, the banks did
1918 2011-07-16 16:45:23 <denisx> Zagitta: no, its not hardcoded, maybe downloaded
1919 2011-07-16 16:45:25 <freewil> BlueMatt: yes it does, you said most economists didnt disagree with the bailouts
1920 2011-07-16 16:45:32 <freewil> BlueMatt: the banks own the federal reserve
1921 2011-07-16 16:45:40 <BlueMatt> freewil: no, I said any sane person wont disagree with the bailouts
1922 2011-07-16 16:45:47 <BlueMatt> not economics professionals
1923 2011-07-16 16:45:59 <senseles> why?
1924 2011-07-16 16:46:02 <senseles> let the economy crash
1925 2011-07-16 16:46:04 <copumpkin> anyone in this community work in finance, by the way?
1926 2011-07-16 16:46:11 <senseles> then bread will cost a trillion $ a loaf
1927 2011-07-16 16:46:13 <freewil> BlueMatt: BlueMatt: very, very few people disagree with the bank bailouts who have been through a very good uni or studied econ
1928 2011-07-16 16:46:17 <b4epoche> nanotube is a finance student
1929 2011-07-16 16:46:18 <senseles> so we send the chinese a loaf of bread
1930 2011-07-16 16:46:22 <senseles> and poof our debts are paid off
1931 2011-07-16 16:46:23 <b4epoche> graduate student
1932 2011-07-16 16:46:26 <copumpkin> freewil: no true scotsman, eh :)
1933 2011-07-16 16:46:35 <copumpkin> :P
1934 2011-07-16 16:46:37 <copumpkin> not quite
1935 2011-07-16 16:47:05 <BlueMatt> freewil: been through a uni does not imply been influenced by economics professors as it does not imply having taken econ courses
1936 2011-07-16 16:47:22 <copumpkin> yeah, I took no econ in college
1937 2011-07-16 16:47:29 <b4epoche> wtf copumpkin ?
1938 2011-07-16 16:47:33 <copumpkin> :P
1939 2011-07-16 16:47:38 <b4epoche> those are the easiest classes
1940 2011-07-16 16:47:42 <copumpkin> yeah, fuck easy
1941 2011-07-16 16:47:43 <freewil> BlueMatt: what? so are you saying you have to go to uni to understand and be sane?
1942 2011-07-16 16:47:45 <BlueMatt> freewil: additionally, let me add sane person with some semblance of sense
1943 2011-07-16 16:47:48 <copumpkin> I wanted to take stuff I was interested in :P
1944 2011-07-16 16:47:50 <copumpkin> I took a decent amount of it in high school
1945 2011-07-16 16:47:58 <BlueMatt> freewil: to that list
1946 2011-07-16 16:47:59 <copumpkin> now I'm studying finance on my own time
1947 2011-07-16 16:48:14 <b4epoche> it was the best way for engineers to get social science credits
1948 2011-07-16 16:48:18 <copumpkin> hah

1952 2011-07-16 16:48:38 <copumpkin> b4epoche: one of my favorite courses was an actual social science course on race relations in the US
1953 2011-07-16 16:48:48 <copumpkin> another was on race relations in south america
1954 2011-07-16 16:48:48 <freewil> BlueMatt: that's just a ridiculous assertion with no basis
1955 2011-07-16 16:48:55 <b4epoche> I enjoyed art history too
1956 2011-07-16 16:48:56 <BlueMatt> freewil: quite the opposite
1957 2011-07-16 16:49:28 <BlueMatt> freewil: everyone I know personally who actually knows the specifics of the bailouts agrees that they were necessary to some extent
1958 2011-07-16 16:49:30 <b4epoche> but I'm glad I took econ...
1959 2011-07-16 16:49:59 <freewil> BlueMatt: look what they did is they bailed out the upper management's bonuses and kept the creditors afloat
1960 2011-07-16 16:50:10 <BlueMatt> freewil: and anyone who doesnt thinks the economy crashing is a good thing
1961 2011-07-16 16:50:12 <b4epoche> in fact, I wish I hadn't skipped the second half of the upper-level class I took (after having gotten 2x the mean score on the first exam in a class I was taking pass-fail)
1962 2011-07-16 16:50:16 <freewil> BlueMatt: an alternative to doing nothing would have been  a proper nationalization
1963 2011-07-16 16:50:26 <b4epoche> they talk a lot about game theory and stuff.
1964 2011-07-16 16:50:33 <BlueMatt> freewil: I never said people agreed with them, Im just saying everyone with any sense agrees that something had to happen
1965 2011-07-16 16:50:42 <copumpkin> BlueMatt: what's more disturbing than the actual bailouts is that a handful of companies dying could actually collapse the economy

1967 2011-07-16 16:51:08 <BlueMatt> copumpkin: totally agree, but that doesnt mean the bailouts werent necessary
1968 2011-07-16 16:51:20 <BlueMatt> freewil: nationalization of banks, are you kidding me?
1969 2011-07-16 16:51:34 <unclemantis> how do i generate a public key based on a private key? I want to print out business cards a unique payment address on each one of them due to if you publish the same public key then people can monitor your transactions!
1970 2011-07-16 16:51:41 <copumpkin> BlueMatt: I never said they weren't
1971 2011-07-16 16:52:18 <Eliel_> could someone point me to the function in the client's code that creates the base58 encoded adress?
1972 2011-07-16 16:52:19 <freewil> BlueMatt: I don't mean in a permanent sense, I'm talking do what they did with GM where they sold off the bad assets and created a new entity
1973 2011-07-16 16:52:24 <luke-jr> unclemantis: I don't see how your question is related to your concern.
1974 2011-07-16 16:52:36 <BlueMatt> freewil: what they did with GM was arguably just as bad
1975 2011-07-16 16:52:51 <luke-jr> unclemantis: just getnewaddress for each business card
1976 2011-07-16 16:52:56 <freewil> BlueMatt: not exactly like GM
1977 2011-07-16 16:52:57 <BlueMatt> unclemantis: see key.h Secret is the 32-byte privkey
1978 2011-07-16 16:53:07 <freewil> BlueMatt: the whole thing is bullshit

1981 2011-07-16 16:53:27 <freewil> BlueMatt: the problem is there is no rule of law in America when it comes to corporate America
1982 2011-07-16 16:53:29 <b4epoche> they should have let someone buy GM
1983 2011-07-16 16:53:43 <BlueMatt> devrandom: ignore that, it needs more testing...
1984 2011-07-16 16:53:47 <BlueMatt> devrandom: just remove that file for now
1985 2011-07-16 16:53:58 <BlueMatt> freewil: what they did after the bailout is different from the bailout itself, keep in mind that if the banks were nationalized, they would still have to be bailed out
1986 2011-07-16 16:54:00 <b4epoche> I mean it's not like demand for vehicles is going to plummet if GM isn't selling them
1987 2011-07-16 16:54:04 <BlueMatt> freewil: lol
1988 2011-07-16 16:54:31 <BlueMatt> b4epoche: yea the auto bailout stuff was kinda poorly handled...

2000 2011-07-16 16:55:46 <unclemantis> luke-jr BlueMatt i want to generate a new public address for the same private key. Not a new private/public key pair. I want to keep this private key offline
2001 2011-07-16 16:56:08 <BlueMatt> unclemantis: impossible, one private key gives you one public key

2005 2011-07-16 16:56:17 <freewil> BlueMatt: Yeah Congress does that ALL THE TIME, but the existing laws are not being followed either
2006 2011-07-16 16:56:25 <freewil> BlueMatt: massive fraud is not being enforced
2007 2011-07-16 16:56:30 <b4epoche> BlueMatt:  he said get /a/ public key from the priv
2008 2011-07-16 16:56:31 <BlueMatt> freewil: ok then
2009 2011-07-16 16:56:41 <freewil> BlueMatt: just look at the fraudclosure fiasoc
2010 2011-07-16 16:56:51 <unclemantis> BlueMatt ok. Then is there a way to do FORWARDING?
2011 2011-07-16 16:56:54 <BlueMatt> b4epoche: I already answered that, see key.h specifically the Secret stuff and GetPubKey
2012 2011-07-16 16:57:17 <BlueMatt> unclemantis: forwarding?
2013 2011-07-16 16:57:35 <unclemantis> yes. Forwarding from a public/private key to a seperate private key
2014 2011-07-16 16:58:00 <BlueMatt> cant say I know what you mean
2015 2011-07-16 16:58:09 <unclemantis> I am still on the concept that i want 10,000 unique public keys for when they are sent btc, the btc ends up in the single one
2016 2011-07-16 16:58:24 sanchaz has joined
2017 2011-07-16 16:58:41 <BlueMatt> no, you cant do that
2018 2011-07-16 16:58:49 <unclemantis> I could just send btc to the private key in quetion using the client by hand
2019 2011-07-16 16:58:54 <BlueMatt> (without being active and having a bitcoin node that forwards all yor txes to one address)
2020 2011-07-16 16:58:57 <BlueMatt> which is just as bad
2021 2011-07-16 16:59:14 <unclemantis> BlueMatt trying to set up an offline wallet, aka savings, aka never been online
2022 2011-07-16 16:59:54 <BlueMatt> why not just have your client generate thousands of addresses and store the privkeys for them all
2023 2011-07-16 17:00:03 <BlueMatt> its a tiny, tiny bit of data
2024 2011-07-16 17:00:31 <unclemantis> so i should just bite the bullet and accept the case that i will need to send btc to a Bitbill address once in a while
2025 2011-07-16 17:00:41 <BlueMatt> what?
2026 2011-07-16 17:00:55 <unclemantis> BlueMatt that would be a lot of qr codes and the balance management would be overwhelming
2027 2011-07-16 17:00:57 <BlueMatt> what is the thing you are trying to do here to begin with?
2028 2011-07-16 17:01:28 <unclemantis> are you ready?
2029 2011-07-16 17:01:42 <b4epoche> wow, it's taking forever to catch up on the block chain...
2030 2011-07-16 17:01:55 <unclemantis> b4epoche how long have you been offline?
2031 2011-07-16 17:02:09 <unclemantis> BlueMatt here is my thoughts

2037 2011-07-16 17:02:42 <b4epoche> I started at like 110k blocks
2038 2011-07-16 17:02:44 <BlueMatt> b4epoche: what version you are running doesnt matter, its the version of the other guy
2039 2011-07-16 17:02:51 <BlueMatt> the guy you are downloading from
2040 2011-07-16 17:03:05 <BlueMatt> have you tried just grabbing the latest nightly
2041 2011-07-16 17:03:14 <b4epoche> oh, 'people' need to upgrade
2042 2011-07-16 17:03:15 <unclemantis> we all know that if you have access to a public key you can look up the transaction history
2043 2011-07-16 17:03:32 <luke-jr> unclemantis: you *can* make a master private key that generates infinite subkeys+addresses
2044 2011-07-16 17:03:34 <BlueMatt> unclemantis: so whats wrong with just pregenerating 1000+ addresses?
2045 2011-07-16 17:03:38 <luke-jr> unclemantis: but nobody has implemented it yet
2046 2011-07-16 17:03:44 <b4epoche> BlueMatt:  forgot about that...  what's addr?  ???.me
2047 2011-07-16 17:03:51 <BlueMatt> b4epoche: bitcoin.bluematt.me
2048 2011-07-16 17:03:55 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: he wants to destroy all electronic copies
2049 2011-07-16 17:04:04 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: of what?
2050 2011-07-16 17:04:10 <BlueMatt> oh of the privkey
2051 2011-07-16 17:04:11 <unclemantis> BlueMatt if i generate 1000+ addresses they will be connected to 1000+ private keys as well
2052 2011-07-16 17:04:15 <BlueMatt> oh, so he wants a deterministic wallet
2053 2011-07-16 17:04:31 <BlueMatt> ah...well you could do that too, but as luke says, no one has implemented it

2057 2011-07-16 17:05:24 <BlueMatt> can you seriously not just put a wallet.dat on an encrypted flash drive?
2058 2011-07-16 17:05:30 <luke-jr> unclemantis: feel free to implement it
2059 2011-07-16 17:05:34 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: that's not reliable
2060 2011-07-16 17:05:42 <BlueMatt> well make 100 copies on 100 drives then
2061 2011-07-16 17:05:49 <BlueMatt> its not hard to make digital copies
2062 2011-07-16 17:05:56 <luke-jr> unclemantis: the current deterministic wallet spec also allows you to have a read-only view of what is sent
2063 2011-07-16 17:06:08 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: USB drives don't last, I hear
2064 2011-07-16 17:06:18 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: meh they last like 10 years
2065 2011-07-16 17:06:23 <BlueMatt> so grab a cd or tape
2066 2011-07-16 17:06:29 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: have they even existed 10 years?
2067 2011-07-16 17:06:29 <BlueMatt> if you need it that long
2068 2011-07-16 17:06:37 <luke-jr> CDs sure don't last long
2069 2011-07-16 17:06:38 <BlueMatt> no, but thats how long they theoretically last
2070 2011-07-16 17:06:46 <luke-jr> I learned that one the hard way
2071 2011-07-16 17:06:49 <BlueMatt> archival-grade cds do
2072 2011-07-16 17:06:52 <BlueMatt> regular cds dont
2073 2011-07-16 17:07:07 <BlueMatt> a flash drive will last (I think, not sure) around 10 years if not plugged in
2074 2011-07-16 17:07:10 <BlueMatt> after that they lose bits
2075 2011-07-16 17:07:14 * luke-jr personally gave up on offline media, and just maintains 2 live copies at all times :P
2076 2011-07-16 17:07:17 <BlueMatt> but if you plug it in, you should be fine
2077 2011-07-16 17:07:24 <b4epoche> print out the qr code...  and take a photograph of them
2078 2011-07-16 17:07:32 <b4epoche> store the negative ;-)
2079 2011-07-16 17:07:34 <luke-jr> b4epoche: that's what he wants to do
2080 2011-07-16 17:07:42 <luke-jr> b4epoche: but we don't have deterministic wallets implemented yet
2081 2011-07-16 17:08:03 <b4epoche> I'm not sure what is meant by a deterministic wallet
2082 2011-07-16 17:08:05 <luke-jr> and I guess we don't have to have a complete working implementation to make the keys… :p
2083 2011-07-16 17:08:09 <BlueMatt> anyway, I dont see any advantage for him to do this, just put a wallet.dat on a flash drive and on an ftp and email it to yourself
2084 2011-07-16 17:08:13 <BlueMatt> noway you lose it
2085 2011-07-16 17:08:14 <luke-jr> b4epoche: one master key for infinite addresses
2086 2011-07-16 17:08:21 <pusle> build like stonehenge with huge rocks for each bit in the QR code :P
2087 2011-07-16 17:08:29 <copumpkin> store your wallet on tahoe lafs ;)
2088 2011-07-16 17:08:55 <luke-jr> pusle: seen stonehedge lately? it seems to have lost a lot of bits

2090 2011-07-16 17:09:19 * b4epoche was thinking about 3d printing the qr codes
2091 2011-07-16 17:09:28 <pusle> did last a while tho, and with highest level ECC 33% of the bits can be missing
2092 2011-07-16 17:10:25 <unclemantis> I was thinking of engraving the private key in sterling silver and storing it in a heat resistant and fireproof safe
2093 2011-07-16 17:10:46 <unclemantis> the whole reason for sending payments to 1000+ public addresses to end up in the private address
2094 2011-07-16 17:10:47 <b4epoche> luke-jr:  hopefully they had some self-repairing ECC
2095 2011-07-16 17:11:16 <unclemantis> I could generate 1000+ unique address pairs and just send the balance once a week to the offline private key
2096 2011-07-16 17:11:41 <diki> let me ask once more. If you give the same getwork to two threads and they both starts on the same nonces(i.e from 1 or whatever), because of this ntime the hashes they produce will be different?
2097 2011-07-16 17:11:42 <b4epoche> unclemantis:  I can certainly see why you'd like to do that?
2098 2011-07-16 17:12:16 <b4epoche> but I'm not seeing the connection between doing that and wallet 'security'

2113 2011-07-16 17:15:50 <b4epoche> hmm...  I could 3D print the qr code and use that to make a casting

2125 2011-07-16 17:19:29 <Eliel_> you could easily implement your own own deterministic wallet scheme. Probably safe enough too.
2126 2011-07-16 17:19:44 <Eliel_> you can set the secret used in the key

2137 2011-07-16 17:21:29 <diki> if it gets incremented
2138 2011-07-16 17:21:35 <diki> who cares what where starts from
2139 2011-07-16 17:21:38 <luke-jr> diki: ntime gets incremented once per second
2140 2011-07-16 17:21:50 <luke-jr> in all threads
2141 2011-07-16 17:21:58 <diki> which is a problem
2142 2011-07-16 17:22:01 <luke-jr> no
2143 2011-07-16 17:22:41 <Eliel_> if there was only one solution, it would be a problem. But that's not the case.
2144 2011-07-16 17:23:06 <luke-jr> the right solution doesn't have the problem :D
2145 2011-07-16 17:23:24 <luke-jr> that's why the threads work on DIFFERENT nonce ranges
2146 2011-07-16 17:24:09 <Eliel_> or perhaps I should not try to guess what diki is getting at :D
2147 2011-07-16 17:24:24 <Eliel_> diki: are you trying to say it's a problem that not all nonces get tried for every ntime?
2148 2011-07-16 17:25:11 <diki> YES
2149 2011-07-16 17:25:30 <Eliel_> it's not a problem because there's many potential solutions out there. Not just one.
2150 2011-07-16 17:25:39 <diki> and i want all of the,
2151 2011-07-16 17:25:42 <diki> them
2152 2011-07-16 17:25:54 viggi has joined
2153 2011-07-16 17:26:41 <Eliel_> it makes no real difference if you check all nonces for each ntime (and as a result check fewer ntimes) or if you just check some nonces for every ntime.
2154 2011-07-16 17:27:07 <diki> well i am kinda paranoid
2155 2011-07-16 17:27:28 <diki> imagine that if ntime was not increased this second, in the next i would've found a block...yielding me 50btc
2156 2011-07-16 17:27:55 <diki> but since it did, the chance or potential was lost
2157 2011-07-16 17:28:10 <Eliel_> I can turn that around. What if there's a block waiting to be found at the next ntime but not at the current ntime?
2158 2011-07-16 17:28:21 <Joric> someone really have a spare cpu power - note 7 chars, all lowercase http://blockexplorer.com/address/1Ga9Dizn1p6ctGWausC1osLSrXFdioxide
2159 2011-07-16 17:28:42 <Eliel_> if you stick with the current ntime, you'd miss that because the next ntime jump would then be larger
2160 2011-07-16 17:29:00 <diki> ntime is controlled by the program
2161 2011-07-16 17:29:03 <diki> at least for cgminer
2162 2011-07-16 17:29:39 <Eliel_> what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter exactly which bit combinations you try, as long as you don't repeat the same ones.
2163 2011-07-16 17:29:58 <Eliel_> every bit combination is as likely to produce a block as any other
2164 2011-07-16 17:30:20 <luke-jr> diki: that's not paranoid, it's just stupid

2195 2011-07-16 17:49:42 <makomk> Actual requirements are in the ballpark of 75,000 LEs (*not* gates - the number of gates is much higher) for a 1 hash per clock design.
2196 2011-07-16 17:52:06 <Eliel_> makomk: how much would that affect the expected hashing speed?

2200 2011-07-16 17:54:13 <makomk> senseles: also, the XC2VP20s and XCV1000s you were posting earlier were not just too small to fit even a single fully-unrolled hasher in, they're a pain to get code onto.
2201 2011-07-16 17:54:28 <makomk> Eliel_: quite a lot...

2213 2011-07-16 17:55:46 <senseles> so how many gates for 1 has per clock?
2214 2011-07-16 17:55:55 <senseles> what is an "LE"?
2215 2011-07-16 17:56:04 <senseles> er nvm
2216 2011-07-16 17:56:37 <makomk> Logic element. The number of gates is meaningless marketing BS; you want to look at the datasheets on Xilinx's website.
2217 2011-07-16 17:56:52 <senseles> i have been, but i was focused on gates up till now
2218 2011-07-16 17:57:18 <senseles> logic cell = LE?
2219 2011-07-16 17:57:33 <makomk> They're basically the same thing, yeah.
2220 2011-07-16 17:57:45 <makomk> I think logic element is Altera's name for them.

2224 2011-07-16 17:58:47 <[7]> senseles: to give you a ballpark number number, a 1200Kgate spartan2 will get ~3MH/s IIRC
2225 2011-07-16 17:59:10 <senseles> when i looked at the dev kits
2226 2011-07-16 17:59:15 <senseles> it seemed that with all the extra features
2227 2011-07-16 17:59:28 <[7]> yeah, extra features are the usual devkit problem :)
2228 2011-07-16 17:59:28 <senseles> there has to be some way to do a simple PCB cost effectively
2229 2011-07-16 17:59:50 <[7]> if you want to go for FPGA mining, go for XC6SLX150-N3 chips
2230 2011-07-16 18:00:19 <[7]> depending on how much you optimize your code, these will be in the 100-200MH/s area

2272 2011-07-16 18:42:05 <Blitzboom> is the dev team more libertarian than the early adopter crowd or less?
2273 2011-07-16 18:42:12 <BlueMatt> less
2274 2011-07-16 18:42:17 <BlueMatt> well who do you mean

2277 2011-07-16 18:42:39 <BlueMatt> if you mean compared to the average forum-goer (or I suppose the loudest forum goers) its kinda hard to be more...
2278 2011-07-16 18:42:40 <Blitzboom> you know, the libertarians on the forums
2279 2011-07-16 18:42:49 <Blitzboom> the old timers from slashdot
2280 2011-07-16 18:43:01 <BlueMatt> the old timers arent the loudest on the forum
2281 2011-07-16 18:43:11 <Blitzboom> depends on how old
2282 2011-07-16 18:43:14 <BlueMatt> but the forum tends to be much, much more anarchist than the devs
2283 2011-07-16 18:43:35 <BlueMatt> the forum doesnt qualify as libertarian anymore, they are anarchistic
2284 2011-07-16 18:43:57 <Blitzboom> nah
2285 2011-07-16 18:44:03 <Blitzboom> i see many non-libertarians on the forum, too
2286 2011-07-16 18:44:15 <BlueMatt> well Im talking about the loudest people on the forums
2287 2011-07-16 18:44:20 <BlueMatt> who tend to be fairly anarchistic

2290 2011-07-16 18:44:36 <copumpkin> does he shrug a lot?
2291 2011-07-16 18:44:39 <BlueMatt> the devs tend to be reasonable

2294 2011-07-16 18:44:51 <Blitzboom> you mean "fascist"
2295 2011-07-16 18:44:57 <BlueMatt> lol
2296 2011-07-16 18:45:00 <copumpkin> "tryants"
2297 2011-07-16 18:45:02 <Blitzboom> haha, just kidding
2298 2011-07-16 18:45:05 <copumpkin> people love to throw that word around
2299 2011-07-16 18:45:05 <BlueMatt> that is why bitcoin.org is divorcing the forums ;)
2300 2011-07-16 18:45:15 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: see, fascist?
2301 2011-07-16 18:45:21 <BlueMatt> yep
2302 2011-07-16 18:45:23 <BlueMatt> and proud
2303 2011-07-16 18:45:23 <Blitzboom> we have freedom of opinion
2304 2011-07-16 18:45:30 <Blitzboom> you are proposing censorship
2305 2011-07-16 18:45:37 <BlueMatt> no
2306 2011-07-16 18:45:41 x6763 has joined
2307 2011-07-16 18:45:45 * copumpkin had a friend in high school who openly called himself a fascist
2308 2011-07-16 18:46:00 <BlueMatt> the forum isnt being censored, only moved off of bitcoin.org as it is a bad representation of the community
2309 2011-07-16 18:46:15 <Blitzboom> why is it a bad representation?
2310 2011-07-16 18:46:18 <copumpkin> in other news, silk road is getting moved to bitcoin.org
2311 2011-07-16 18:46:22 <copumpkin> as a better representation of the community
2312 2011-07-16 18:46:23 <Blitzboom> i think it represents the community quite accurately
2313 2011-07-16 18:46:34 <BlueMatt> because the loudest people enjoy illegal activities and are generally anarchist?
2314 2011-07-16 18:46:37 <Blitzboom> just because you do not agree with the community’s view doesn’t mean it’s bad
2315 2011-07-16 18:46:58 <BlueMatt> no, it means legitimate businesses look at bitcoin as crazed and will stay away
2316 2011-07-16 18:47:05 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: you can either 1) encourage the silent to speak or 2) shut the loud ones down
2317 2011-07-16 18:47:22 <Blitzboom> freedom of speech seems broken?
2318 2011-07-16 18:47:26 <BlueMatt> or 3) divorce bitcoin itself from those forums and let those people keep on going
2319 2011-07-16 18:47:35 <BlueMatt> no one is shutting down those forms
2320 2011-07-16 18:47:39 <BlueMatt> just moving them off bitcoin.org
2321 2011-07-16 18:47:59 <Blitzboom> do you not think they will just move to the other, more prominent one?
2322 2011-07-16 18:48:07 <BlueMatt> what other one?

2328 2011-07-16 18:48:25 <Blitzboom> there won’t be a forum anymore on bitcoin.org?
2329 2011-07-16 18:48:26 <Sami345> ;bc,calc 180000
2330 2011-07-16 18:48:34 <BlueMatt> dont think so
2331 2011-07-16 18:48:36 <Blitzboom> i think this would be a mistake
2332 2011-07-16 18:48:37 <Sami345> ;bc,lol
2333 2011-07-16 18:48:43 <Blitzboom> community is everything, BlueMatt
2334 2011-07-16 18:48:46 <BlueMatt> the only official communication channels will be the dev mailing list and freenode
2335 2011-07-16 18:48:51 <BlueMatt> no one is removing the community
2336 2011-07-16 18:48:56 <BlueMatt> just making it unofficial
2337 2011-07-16 18:49:01 fn0rd has joined
2338 2011-07-16 18:49:06 <Blitzboom> you are taking away the chance of many to participate
2339 2011-07-16 18:49:11 <BlueMatt> how?
2340 2011-07-16 18:49:12 <Blitzboom> (by taking the visibility)
2341 2011-07-16 18:49:19 loxxx has left ()
2342 2011-07-16 18:49:24 <Blitzboom> this way, you will make it even more fringe
2343 2011-07-16 18:49:28 <BlueMatt> and stop saying me, I was not a part of this decision (though I agree)
2344 2011-07-16 18:49:30 <Blitzboom> just like the US handles drugs
2345 2011-07-16 18:49:35 <Blitzboom> it’s plural you
2346 2011-07-16 18:49:36 <BlueMatt> I quite disagree
2347 2011-07-16 18:49:43 <BlueMatt> remember, Im not a bitcoin dev
2348 2011-07-16 18:49:53 <BlueMatt> the only position I hold in the bitcoin community is op of #bitcoin-dev
2349 2011-07-16 18:49:54 <Blitzboom> what? i thought you were
2350 2011-07-16 18:50:06 <BlueMatt> no, only sipa, tcatm, jgarzik, and gavin are officially devs
2351 2011-07-16 18:50:09 <Blitzboom> you do develop the client
2352 2011-07-16 18:50:16 <Blitzboom> what do i care for official?
2353 2011-07-16 18:50:17 <BlueMatt> by that measurement everyone is
2354 2011-07-16 18:50:36 <Blitzboom> anyone who develops is a developer, yes
2355 2011-07-16 18:51:08 <BlueMatt> ah well then I cant say the devs are more or less anarchistic than the forums because the forums are devs
2356 2011-07-16 18:51:53 <Blitzboom> lol come on, you are a bitcoin dev
2357 2011-07-16 18:52:04 <Blitzboom> maybe not core or whatever
2358 2011-07-16 18:52:23 <BlueMatt> if you are saying just based on total amount of contributions, I guess...
2359 2011-07-16 18:52:47 skeledrew has joined
2360 2011-07-16 18:52:52 <BlueMatt> but there are quite a few then, and I dont know much about the personal ideologies of them
2361 2011-07-16 18:52:53 <Blitzboom> anyway … my point still stands. if you remove the visibility of the forum, then it will be disconnected even more by the reality of its userbase
2362 2011-07-16 18:53:17 skeledrew1 has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
2363 2011-07-16 18:53:22 <BlueMatt> so? that also means that companies or legit people who see bitcoin wont associate those forums with bitcoin community at-large
2364 2011-07-16 18:53:23 stalled has joined
2365 2011-07-16 18:53:30 <Blitzboom> and i do think that the community ascepts are crucial to bitcoin
2366 2011-07-16 18:53:35 <BlueMatt> I agree
2367 2011-07-16 18:53:40 <Blitzboom> and forums fulfill a great deal in that
2368 2011-07-16 18:53:55 <BlueMatt> the community isnt going away
2369 2011-07-16 18:54:19 <BlueMatt> though I would like to have a new forum on *.bitcoin.org that is *only* tech support...
2370 2011-07-16 18:54:24 <BlueMatt> but dont know if anyone else does
2371 2011-07-16 18:54:29 <Blitzboom> i do hope so. because it’s the only thing we have practically
2372 2011-07-16 18:54:46 <Blitzboom> yeah, that’d be a better solution
2373 2011-07-16 18:54:53 <BlueMatt> well, no, if someone does that, then there is no community on that forum
2374 2011-07-16 18:54:58 <BlueMatt> only tech support and bug reports

2382 2011-07-16 18:56:06 <justmoon> BlueMatt, his real name is John Doe
2383 2011-07-16 18:56:06 <Blitzboom> ah, i like his posts
2384 2011-07-16 18:56:11 <BlueMatt> the guy who does bitcoin-qt
2385 2011-07-16 18:56:23 <BlueMatt> justmoon: ahhhh, ok
2386 2011-07-16 18:56:28 <justmoon> BlueMatt, he's the brother in law of Max Mustermann actually
2387 2011-07-16 18:56:40 <Blitzboom> justmoon, i hope at least you are not a fascist?
2388 2011-07-16 18:56:51 <justmoon> nah, I'm an indifferentialist
2389 2011-07-16 18:57:12 <Blitzboom> is that the agnosticism of politics?
2390 2011-07-16 18:57:36 <justmoon> it means I like when my unit tests pass and other than that I don't give a ****

2393 2011-07-16 18:58:30 <justmoon> I think bitcoin's political "impact" is way overblown anyway
2394 2011-07-16 18:58:51 <Blitzboom> see, the early anarcho adopters are struggling to suppress their political views

2398 2011-07-16 18:59:01 <justmoon> BlueMatt, time will tell I suppose
2399 2011-07-16 18:59:08 <BlueMatt> well, whatever
2400 2011-07-16 18:59:26 <BlueMatt> personally, I dont care too much where the forums are
2401 2011-07-16 18:59:35 <BlueMatt> I dont use them much anymore anyway
2402 2011-07-16 18:59:40 <BlueMatt> devmailing list and irc
2403 2011-07-16 18:59:47 <justmoon> BlueMatt, same here
2404 2011-07-16 18:59:48 <BlueMatt> other than that, not worth visiting
2405 2011-07-16 19:00:08 <Blitzboom> sometimes, there are a few interesting threads
2406 2011-07-16 19:00:20 <Blitzboom> but yeah, it’s become mostly shit
2407 2011-07-16 19:00:52 <Blitzboom> you can blame 4chan

2409 2011-07-16 19:03:59 <makomk> 4chan's far less full of libertarians than the Bitcoin forums.
2410 2011-07-16 19:04:16 <BlueMatt> bitcoin forums are full of anarchists, not libertarians
2411 2011-07-16 19:04:19 <BlueMatt> there is a difference

2427 2011-07-16 19:07:51 <WakiMiko> where you can ask programming questions?
2428 2011-07-16 19:08:00 <BlueMatt> a bitcoin programming questions site?
2429 2011-07-16 19:08:02 <BlueMatt> wtf?
2430 2011-07-16 19:08:09 <WakiMiko> its like that, except for all kinds of subjects
2431 2011-07-16 19:08:16 <lfm> stackoverflow, like for makeing botnets or something?
2432 2011-07-16 19:08:18 <BlueMatt> so...a forum?
2433 2011-07-16 19:09:12 <WakiMiko> not quite
2434 2011-07-16 19:09:22 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: what’s the difference between libertarians and anarchists?
2435 2011-07-16 19:09:32 <WakiMiko> people can ask questions, experts (sometimes) answer
2436 2011-07-16 19:09:32 <Blitzboom> i thought anarchists are just a subcategory
2437 2011-07-16 19:09:33 <Namegduf> "a lot"
2438 2011-07-16 19:09:39 <BlueMatt> anarchists want no govt, libertarians want govt to stay the fuck out of their lives
2439 2011-07-16 19:09:43 <WakiMiko> http://stackoverflow.com/ is pretty good for programming stuff
2440 2011-07-16 19:09:57 <Namegduf> Libertarians are for free trade and have actually fuck all opinion as a class about government otherwise
2441 2011-07-16 19:10:01 <BlueMatt> libertarians, however, understand that govt does actually have a use
2442 2011-07-16 19:10:15 <WakiMiko> and exchange has nothing to do with trading :P
2443 2011-07-16 19:10:25 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: i thought that’s anarchist vs. minarchist
2444 2011-07-16 19:10:47 <lfm> wtf is minarchist?

2447 2011-07-16 19:11:03 <Namegduf> It's possible to be libertarian and anarchist. Sort of.
2448 2011-07-16 19:11:05 <Blitzboom> and yes, the government has a use in great redistrubition due to corruption
2449 2011-07-16 19:11:15 <Namegduf> It's also possible to be libertarian and outright authoritarian on other issues
2450 2011-07-16 19:11:21 <Blitzboom> it’s pretty profitable for a few people
2451 2011-07-16 19:11:50 <Namegduf> See: Republicans (although they really just manipulate libertarians for personal profit)
2452 2011-07-16 19:12:04 <BlueMatt> a libertarian will tell you that govt has some role in things eg preventing crime
2453 2011-07-16 19:12:13 <BlueMatt> an anarchist will tell you to go buy a gun
2454 2011-07-16 19:12:28 <Namegduf> The only thing that libertarianism by definition says government shouldn't do is interfere in free trade.
2455 2011-07-16 19:12:37 <lfm> then tell your neighbor to buy a bigger gun
2456 2011-07-16 19:12:39 <Namegduf> It's possible to be libertarian and have any view of government that doesn't conflict.
2457 2011-07-16 19:13:03 <BlueMatt> ok, technically, maybe not, but that is how /I/ use the term...
2458 2011-07-16 19:13:16 <Namegduf> Anarchism is much harder to pin down but is generally "no government as we would recognise it".
2459 2011-07-16 19:13:16 <BlueMatt> which means about...nothing
2460 2011-07-16 19:13:31 <Namegduf> Which permits most anything but a recognisable form of government
2461 2011-07-16 19:13:39 <Namegduf> Libertarians are OFTEN minarchists
2462 2011-07-16 19:13:41 <b4epoche> mailing list?  bitcoin-dev@lists.sourceforge.net?
2463 2011-07-16 19:13:44 <Namegduf> In my experience.

2473 2011-07-16 19:14:55 <BlueMatt> think so
2474 2011-07-16 19:15:02 <Namegduf> Anarchism isn't really feasible anyway because it does not provide for its own stability

2486 2011-07-16 19:15:49 <BlueMatt> diki: I love how merging intel and amd is the first thing you think of when you think about ruling the world...
2487 2011-07-16 19:16:13 <BlueMatt> diki: thats the point of assassination, you dont get to fight...
2488 2011-07-16 19:17:21 <diki> only one person in the whole world was assassinated(before usama)

2502 2011-07-16 19:19:49 <diki> no, it needs a push into the digital
2503 2011-07-16 19:19:50 <lfm> so you'll give it a push, into the sea
2504 2011-07-16 19:19:51 <diki> from the analog
2505 2011-07-16 19:20:03 <BlueMatt> I agree the world needs a push back to the middle ages, where we are all ruled by totalitarian govts

2520 2011-07-16 19:21:30 <Namegduf> The middle east needs a culture-related wonder building nearby
2521 2011-07-16 19:21:32 <Namegduf> Thus Iraq
2522 2011-07-16 19:21:43 <Namegduf> Then the US can take over Iran bit by bit using culture values
2523 2011-07-16 19:21:47 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: are you a banker?
2524 2011-07-16 19:21:53 <Blitzboom> or just paid by them?
2525 2011-07-16 19:21:55 <b4epoche> BlueMatt:  looking around sf.net to figure that out

2527 2011-07-16 19:22:17 <Blitzboom> it’s clear that we have no democracy
2528 2011-07-16 19:22:26 <Blitzboom> we have a nice plutocracy
2529 2011-07-16 19:22:26 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: trololololol
2530 2011-07-16 19:22:46 <Namegduf> You have to say Neptunecracy now
2531 2011-07-16 19:22:46 <Blitzboom> oh, wait, every couple of years we can choose between a few parties
2532 2011-07-16 19:22:52 <Namegduf> Pluto isn't a planet anymore
2533 2011-07-16 19:22:52 <Blitzboom> and they are all completely different
2534 2011-07-16 19:23:11 <diki> think of a building 10 square kilometres
2535 2011-07-16 19:23:31 <diki> a merge between amd/intel/nvidia and ibm into a single unified entity that governs technology
2536 2011-07-16 19:23:31 <Namegduf> Now imagine it airbourne and made of diamonds.
2537 2011-07-16 19:23:45 <BlueMatt> diki: trololololol

2547 2011-07-16 19:24:39 <diki> a building where science progresses
2548 2011-07-16 19:24:41 <Blitzboom> running the media, running finance, running the governments?
2549 2011-07-16 19:24:55 <Blitzboom> it’s no conspiracy theory, it’s plain logic
2550 2011-07-16 19:25:12 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: no, I think there is a small very powerful group of people who hate each other and are constantly fighting virtually thinking they are running
2551 2011-07-16 19:25:12 <Blitzboom> of course they will conspire to keep their might
2552 2011-07-16 19:25:24 <BlueMatt> the rest of us just play along
2553 2011-07-16 19:25:29 <Namegduf> Right.
2554 2011-07-16 19:25:29 <BlueMatt> because frankly, no one cares
2555 2011-07-16 19:25:40 <Blitzboom> that’s what they want you to believe
2556 2011-07-16 19:25:45 <BlueMatt> ok

2562 2011-07-16 19:26:20 <Blitzboom> it’s called democracy
2563 2011-07-16 19:26:21 <BlueMatt> and it is...?
2564 2011-07-16 19:26:23 <BlueMatt> lol

2566 2011-07-16 19:26:28 <BlueMatt> that works out so well
2567 2011-07-16 19:26:38 <Blitzboom> Namegduf: yes, multiple times
2568 2011-07-16 19:26:48 <Kiba> hello
2569 2011-07-16 19:26:52 <Namegduf> Blitzboom: Are you aware it is not a true story
2570 2011-07-16 19:26:56 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: that’s because we don’t have democracy atm
2571 2011-07-16 19:27:11 <Blitzboom> Namegduf: it could turn out to be very real
2572 2011-07-16 19:27:11 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: do you have a better system or are you just complaining?

2575 2011-07-16 19:27:28 <BlueMatt> because people worked their ass off to give us a democracy and this is what we have
2576 2011-07-16 19:27:40 <BlueMatt> so a democracy is not a solution
2577 2011-07-16 19:27:48 <Kiba> we do have democracy
2578 2011-07-16 19:27:55 <Kiba> but democracy sucks
2579 2011-07-16 19:27:57 <Blitzboom> Kiba: no, the majority does not rule
2580 2011-07-16 19:28:09 <Blitzboom> it’s a small elite who rules by ruling the media
2581 2011-07-16 19:28:18 <Kiba> yeah, whatever
2582 2011-07-16 19:28:28 <Kiba> you can't expect the masses to make informed decision
2583 2011-07-16 19:28:28 <Namegduf> The majority will not ban the media
2584 2011-07-16 19:28:29 <Zagitta> Democracy is only as good as the people voting...
2585 2011-07-16 19:28:38 <Namegduf> Right
2586 2011-07-16 19:28:40 <Kiba> that's lunancy
2587 2011-07-16 19:28:44 <Blitzboom> i agree democracy sucks
2588 2011-07-16 19:28:46 <BlueMatt> and people are stupid, period
2589 2011-07-16 19:28:46 <Kiba> I know programming
2590 2011-07-16 19:28:54 <Namegduf> This is a fundamental flaw in democracy, which is operating as designed
2591 2011-07-16 19:28:57 <BlueMatt> well people en-masse are stupid
2592 2011-07-16 19:28:58 <Kiba> but I don't know shit
2593 2011-07-16 19:28:58 <Namegduf> It just sucked and always sucked
2594 2011-07-16 19:29:09 <Kiba> BlueMatt: more like people can't know everything
2595 2011-07-16 19:29:14 <citiz3n> Blitzboom is right about power brokers
2596 2011-07-16 19:29:18 * copumpkin knows everything
2597 2011-07-16 19:29:27 <BlueMatt> Kiba: never said it was possible for people to be smart, just pointing out how it is
2598 2011-07-16 19:29:27 <citiz3n> nearly all the power is concentrated in a very few number of people
2599 2011-07-16 19:29:36 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: you cannot imagine a better system than we have now?
2600 2011-07-16 19:29:43 <BlueMatt> Kiba: they cant know everything and thus are stupid wrt voting...
2601 2011-07-16 19:29:46 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: nope
2602 2011-07-16 19:29:48 <Namegduf> Getting closer to direct majority rule would, in fact, make media manipulation WORSE.
2603 2011-07-16 19:29:54 <Blitzboom> maybe a system where one participates more in governing than choosing a party every couple years?
2604 2011-07-16 19:29:55 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: and you havent given us one yet
2605 2011-07-16 19:29:56 <Kiba> BlueMatt: I don't think it's possible to be informed abot every issue from abortion to space
2606 2011-07-16 19:30:05 <citiz3n> i have one for you, BlueMatt
2607 2011-07-16 19:30:12 <Kiba> and we have politicans voting on everything

2611 2011-07-16 19:30:18 <BlueMatt> Kiba: thus people are not good for voting
2612 2011-07-16 19:30:21 <Kiba> they're mostly lawyers
2613 2011-07-16 19:30:21 <Namegduf> Right now media manipulation has to manipulate people to indirectly influence politicans
2614 2011-07-16 19:30:21 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: lol
2615 2011-07-16 19:30:30 <Namegduf> Take that out, and you can remove the last step.
2616 2011-07-16 19:30:34 <Kiba> what do lawyers know about space and economic?
2617 2011-07-16 19:30:38 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: that would make the media more powerful and people cant know everyhing
2618 2011-07-16 19:30:41 <copumpkin> high connectivity and internet actually make direct democracy more feasible
2619 2011-07-16 19:30:43 <copumpkin> not that it'll ever happen
2620 2011-07-16 19:31:06 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: i am pretty certain tthey know more than politicians pretend to know
2621 2011-07-16 19:31:08 <BlueMatt> copumpkin: feasible != something we want

2630 2011-07-16 19:31:44 <Namegduf> copumpkin: We tried that and it really sucked
2631 2011-07-16 19:31:53 <b4epoche> high connectivity and internet = allows the stupids to get together and convince themselves a Bachmann/Palin ticket would be good

2638 2011-07-16 19:32:36 <copumpkin> Namegduf: the world today is very different from the world 100 years ago

2652 2011-07-16 19:33:25 <copumpkin> Namegduf: namely, all the "inefficient allocation" complaints about empty factories and such could actually be handled a lot more efficiently centrally these days
2653 2011-07-16 19:33:31 <copumpkin> now that information travels quickly :)

2671 2011-07-16 19:34:46 <citiz3n> this notion is very flawed
2672 2011-07-16 19:34:50 <b4epoche> it's just that before people didn't know about all the crap

2711 2011-07-16 19:36:49 <Kiba> but they're all "unofficial"
2712 2011-07-16 19:36:53 <citiz3n> people form together in groups to commit crimes to avoid individual singular accountability

2716 2011-07-16 19:37:02 <Blitzboom> this is as ridiculous as the paper democracy

2747 2011-07-16 19:39:42 <luke-jr> "While the site claims to operate on anonymity, we found there is a way buyers can easily be tracked."
2748 2011-07-16 19:39:48 <luke-jr> that's the kind of report news should have :D
2749 2011-07-16 19:40:07 <Blitzboom> jgarzik must be proud for distorting reality that much

2754 2011-07-16 19:40:44 <luke-jr> Blitzboom: it's not distorted that much
2755 2011-07-16 19:40:47 <Blitzboom> propaganda is needed, BlueMatt?
2756 2011-07-16 19:40:58 <luke-jr> Blitzboom: it really is tracable, and "easy" is relative
2757 2011-07-16 19:40:58 <phantomcircuit> BlueMatt, what not hookers and blow? damn
2758 2011-07-16 19:40:59 <jjjx> BlueMatt is so right.
2759 2011-07-16 19:41:02 <Blitzboom> yes, certainly the truth is only second choice
2760 2011-07-16 19:41:03 * phantomcircuit goes to cancel something
2761 2011-07-16 19:41:22 <Blitzboom> who cares about the truth when you can fool people for your own benefit
2762 2011-07-16 19:41:24 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: well someone has to fight the perception that bitcoin is illegal
2763 2011-07-16 19:41:27 <BlueMatt> and is ideal for illegal things
2764 2011-07-16 19:41:33 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: cash is illegal?
2765 2011-07-16 19:41:33 <copumpkin> it is ideal for illegal things
2766 2011-07-16 19:41:37 <BlueMatt> and lets face it, the media wont listen to "its just as bad as cash"
2767 2011-07-16 19:41:41 <copumpkin> doesn't mean that it's only for illegal things
2768 2011-07-16 19:41:49 <BlueMatt> copumpkin: its no more ideal than cash
2769 2011-07-16 19:41:57 <copumpkin> BlueMatt: sure
2770 2011-07-16 19:41:58 <BlueMatt> in fact, probably less so
2771 2011-07-16 19:42:03 <BlueMatt> smaller market, etc

2774 2011-07-16 19:42:40 <luke-jr> and tracable
2775 2011-07-16 19:42:42 <jjjx> BlueMatt: But then again, it is.
2776 2011-07-16 19:42:42 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Who cares? If the underground/illegal market start to migrate to Bitcoin, it won't be any less valuable.
2777 2011-07-16 19:42:42 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Quite the opposite; that's a MASSIVE economy right there. :-)
2778 2011-07-16 19:42:44 <BlueMatt> if someone works hard, ok
2779 2011-07-16 19:42:48 <luke-jr> you can't trace cash nearly as easily as bitcoins
2780 2011-07-16 19:43:07 <jjjx> BlueMatt: You'll have to prove that to me (ease of tracing Silk Road purchases) :)
2781 2011-07-16 19:43:21 <BlueMatt> jjjx: mtgox complies with regulations in .jp
2782 2011-07-16 19:43:25 <BlueMatt> and its not hard to trace coins
2783 2011-07-16 19:43:34 MJD has joined
2784 2011-07-16 19:43:36 <Blitzboom> jjjx: indeed
2785 2011-07-16 19:43:43 <Namegduf> I don't understand the calls to shut Silk Road down.
2786 2011-07-16 19:43:46 <gmaxwell> vs cash bitcoin Leaves more evidence, smaller market, much harder to launder (mostly due to the former) .. the only real pro is electronic distribution.
2787 2011-07-16 19:43:48 <BlueMatt> nor is it hard for a govt to trace back mail if someone starts sending out a ton of drugs
2788 2011-07-16 19:43:49 <Blitzboom> silk road is a natural experiment regarding bitcoin’s potential anonymity
2789 2011-07-16 19:43:49 <Namegduf> It's basically a honeypot dream
2790 2011-07-16 19:43:49 <b4epoche> you need to be tracing 'stuff', not money
2791 2011-07-16 19:43:59 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Go ahead and show me how easy it is to trace a Silk Road purchase. I have not yet seen anyone prove that it is.
2792 2011-07-16 19:44:01 <Namegduf> 1) Sell drugs
2793 2011-07-16 19:44:04 <Namegduf> 2) Raid addresses
2794 2011-07-16 19:44:05 <Zagitta> not to mention that a smart laywer could use your stored wallet as evidence of you having had the coins against you
2795 2011-07-16 19:44:19 <BlueMatt> jjjx: compare it to cash and read the logs of the past like 1 minute
2796 2011-07-16 19:44:25 <jjjx> Namegduf: The raids are useless -- buyers? Come on.
2797 2011-07-16 19:44:30 <BlueMatt> compared to a bank, no you are right
2798 2011-07-16 19:44:38 <BlueMatt> but who would do a drug deal with a credit card?
2799 2011-07-16 19:45:00 <Namegduf> jjjx: Fair point.
2800 2011-07-16 19:45:04 <b4epoche> how does silk road 'ship' stuff?
2801 2011-07-16 19:45:05 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Since Silk Road uses a unique receiving address every time, operating within Tor, I don't see what you mean.
2802 2011-07-16 19:45:30 <jjjx> b4epoche: The sellers ship stuff. Using regular post.
2803 2011-07-16 19:45:30 <BlueMatt> jjjx: <b4epoche> how does silk road 'ship' stuff?
2804 2011-07-16 19:45:43 <BlueMatt> and you think the govt cant trace back post if they have the desire?
2805 2011-07-16 19:45:45 <Blitzboom> hey Kiba
2806 2011-07-16 19:45:46 <BlueMatt> I mean come on
2807 2011-07-16 19:45:49 <gmaxwell> jjjx: Bluematt has no reason to do so— nothing to prove to you. You don't want to believe it, fine. You have been warned.
2808 2011-07-16 19:45:50 <BlueMatt> a private investigator can do that
2809 2011-07-16 19:45:56 <luke-jr> XD
2810 2011-07-16 19:46:10 <Blitzboom> how do you libertarians want to force people not to coerce you with a government?
2811 2011-07-16 19:46:14 <Blitzboom> how does that work?
2812 2011-07-16 19:46:18 <jjjx> b4epoche: Maybe they can. That's different than tracing the transaction though.
2813 2011-07-16 19:46:21 <Namegduf> BlueMatt: Post can be dropped off anonymously
2814 2011-07-16 19:46:24 <luke-jr> Blitzboom: libertarianism is fail
2815 2011-07-16 19:46:28 <jjjx> Sorry, that was to BlueMatt.
2816 2011-07-16 19:46:29 <Namegduf> BlueMatt: Just dump it in a mail box somewhere

2821 2011-07-16 19:46:49 <BlueMatt> Namegduf: not if you are sending a ton of drugs out on a daily basis...
2822 2011-07-16 19:46:51 <b4epoche> law enforcement aren't idiots
2823 2011-07-16 19:47:00 <Namegduf> BlueMatt: Yeah, that'd be an issue.
2824 2011-07-16 19:47:06 <BlueMatt> Namegduf: no one has a desire to trace some lsd seller whos selling almost nothing through silk road
2825 2011-07-16 19:47:20 <BlueMatt> just as much as the desire to trace that kid at the end of the block who is doing it in person
2826 2011-07-16 19:47:25 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Like I said... Unique receiving address every time for Silk Road. I know Block Explorer... I'm just saying, show me. Put this topic to rest once and for all.
2827 2011-07-16 19:47:37 <b4epoche> you just need to start a rumor that someone has developed a 'sniffer'
2828 2011-07-16 19:47:50 <gmaxwell> jjjx: dur, "Unique receiving address" isn't as meaningful as you seem to think it is.
2829 2011-07-16 19:47:51 <BlueMatt> jjjx: when you buy the bitcoins its not hard for you to be traced, after that...
2830 2011-07-16 19:47:51 huk has joined
2831 2011-07-16 19:48:02 <jjjx> For Silk Road, I agree that the post could -possibly- be used to trace the seller. But the buyer is almost not at risk at all if they take the appropriate precautions (never signing for anything, primarily)
2832 2011-07-16 19:48:14 <Namegduf> Um
2833 2011-07-16 19:48:18 <BlueMatt> jjjx: lolwut?
2834 2011-07-16 19:48:26 <Namegduf> The buyer's address has been given to the seller
2835 2011-07-16 19:48:35 <jjjx> Namegduf: Yes. So what?
2836 2011-07-16 19:48:48 <BlueMatt> and you think the law enforcement cant go on silk road and "sell drugs"
2837 2011-07-16 19:48:49 <jjjx> There's total deniability in that; it can't be proven WHO made the order, or that there was any transaction.
2838 2011-07-16 19:48:50 <Namegduf> The buyer's safety entirely relies on the government not bothering to honeytrap, the seller not getting caught...
2839 2011-07-16 19:48:52 <BlueMatt> jjjx: and how did you buy it?
2840 2011-07-16 19:48:56 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Of course they can.
2841 2011-07-16 19:48:57 <b4epoche> so when are Silk Road stings going to start?
2842 2011-07-16 19:49:04 <gmaxwell> jjjx: There are a couple of pretty straight forward ways to trace the coin. For example, You make payments into silkroad. You don't even spend them. Silkroads wallet eventually includes them in outputs paying other people. You have mtgox report the names of all the people who spend the 'marked' coins.

2844 2011-07-16 19:49:08 <BlueMatt> jjjx: so how do you claim that the buyer cant be traced?
2845 2011-07-16 19:49:33 <BlueMatt> jjjx: its really easy to trace coins back and chances are they hit mtgox at some point
2846 2011-07-16 19:49:37 <jjjx> gmaxwell: Putting your coins into Silk Road does not constitute a felony.
2847 2011-07-16 19:49:42 <jjjx> gmaxwell: Using them to buy drugs does.
2848 2011-07-16 19:49:44 <BlueMatt> and mtgox complies with all regulations including law enforcement requests
2849 2011-07-16 19:49:49 <Namegduf> It constitutes probable cause to bust down your door
2850 2011-07-16 19:49:54 <gmaxwell> jjjx: You've failed to understand what I said. Read it again.
2851 2011-07-16 19:50:06 <Namegduf> And , well, you probably have other evidence.
2852 2011-07-16 19:50:08 <BlueMatt> jjjx: putting them into silk road is enough evidence in court that you were buying drugs for a conviction
2853 2011-07-16 19:50:12 <jjjx> gmaxwell: I completely understand what you just said -- I just disagree that this is consequential.
2854 2011-07-16 19:50:13 <Namegduf> If not, maybe you're safe. Maybe.
2855 2011-07-16 19:50:27 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Silk Road sells many things besides drugs.
2856 2011-07-16 19:50:38 <gmaxwell> Or perhaps you didn't?  Once you've got a list of names you then go and get warrants based on that.
2857 2011-07-16 19:50:39 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Realistically, you're probably right -- it would be evidence at least.
2858 2011-07-16 19:50:49 <jjjx> BlueMatt: But it could not be argued concretely in my opinion.
2859 2011-07-16 19:51:14 <BlueMatt> look, in theory, you can argue that it wasnt you how ever much you want, but at the end of the day, bitcoin is not ideal for buying drugs, nor is the internet
2860 2011-07-16 19:51:19 <jjjx> And besides, this is again missing the point: The SELLERS are the point, which the buyer has no awareness of whatsoever.
2861 2011-07-16 19:51:21 skeledrew1 has joined
2862 2011-07-16 19:51:27 <BlueMatt> the ideal way is through that kid at the end of your street who you trust
2863 2011-07-16 19:51:33 <gmaxwell> Not many thing. Silk road sells drugs and drug paraphernalia— you'd be stupid to sell anything else there beause the merchant accounts are now expensive.
2864 2011-07-16 19:51:34 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Disagree completely.
2865 2011-07-16 19:51:40 <Blitzboom> i also disagree
2866 2011-07-16 19:51:48 <BlueMatt> silk road is not good, and is worse in terms of getting caught than anything else
2867 2011-07-16 19:51:50 <Blitzboom> it’s absolutely not ideal to buy on the street
2868 2011-07-16 19:52:09 <Blitzboom> it’s a) uncomfortable, b) mostly shit quality and c) can be dangerous
2869 2011-07-16 19:52:11 <b4epoche> just start your own damn meth lab and/or grow op
2870 2011-07-16 19:52:15 <Blitzboom> well, depends on who you know
2871 2011-07-16 19:52:26 <Blitzboom> but if you don’t, you have a problem
2872 2011-07-16 19:52:31 <jjjx> Blitzboom is right.
2873 2011-07-16 19:52:38 <Blitzboom> and that’s why silk road is great
2874 2011-07-16 19:53:03 <BlueMatt> in any case, Im done discussing this, bitcoin is in no way more ideal to buy drugs than cash from an anonymity perspective and can be traced much easier.
2875 2011-07-16 19:53:07 <b4epoche> kinda like not having to rent porn at the video store, eh?
2876 2011-07-16 19:53:08 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: do you happen to have statistics?
2877 2011-07-16 19:53:08 skeledrew has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
2878 2011-07-16 19:53:18 <jjjx> BlueMatt/gmaxwell, you guys might be right in the end... But I really think that the brilliance of Silk Road is that it protects sellers and buyers both.
2879 2011-07-16 19:53:18 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: on what?
2880 2011-07-16 19:53:33 <BlueMatt> jjjx: not really...but Im done anyway...
2881 2011-07-16 19:53:34 <Blitzboom> on how many people are caught with silk road vs. buying from dealers
2882 2011-07-16 19:53:48 <BlueMatt> silk road is still too small for anyone to care
2883 2011-07-16 19:53:57 <jjjx> I would also be interested in some facts there.
2884 2011-07-16 19:54:00 <jjjx> BlueMatt: True.
2885 2011-07-16 19:54:04 nus has joined
2886 2011-07-16 19:54:06 <gmaxwell> Blitzboom: none of those differences are related to btc vs cash however. As a form of payment cash is really good for illegal transactions except for the whole need for physical transfer.
2887 2011-07-16 19:54:14 <BlueMatt> plus Id very much bet anyone selling on silk road also sells in person
2888 2011-07-16 19:54:15 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Although the authorities DO care, because this sets a precedent.
2889 2011-07-16 19:54:24 <BlueMatt> so its impossible to tell what they got caught for
2890 2011-07-16 19:54:29 <jjjx> BlueMatt: An "unchecked" Silk Road erodes the perception of law enforcement.
2891 2011-07-16 19:54:29 <Blitzboom> gmaxwell: the whole need for physical transfer is a major disadvantage
2892 2011-07-16 19:54:40 <Blitzboom> because it makes anonimity difficult
2893 2011-07-16 19:54:42 <gmaxwell> Blitzboom: yes, but the drugs need phsical transfer too.
2894 2011-07-16 19:54:59 <b4epoche> silk road will go down...  maybe not under existing laws but new ones
2895 2011-07-16 19:54:59 <Blitzboom> dunno about you, but i download my drugs
2896 2011-07-16 19:55:29 <b4epoche> Blitzboom:  in the form of porn?
2897 2011-07-16 19:55:31 <Blitzboom> i hope silk road will prevail and piss in the face of the war on drugs
2898 2011-07-16 19:55:35 <BlueMatt> b4epoche: lol
2899 2011-07-16 19:55:51 <BlueMatt> Blitzboom: I hope your wrong, I want to keep developing on bitcoin
2900 2011-07-16 19:56:02 <Blitzboom> BlueMatt: why would that conflict?
2901 2011-07-16 19:56:23 <b4epoche> hard drugs /need/ to be illegal.
2902 2011-07-16 19:56:25 <jjjx> I think Silk Road is one of the best chances that Bitcoin has of being successful -- or rather, the precedent it sets.
2903 2011-07-16 19:56:34 <gmaxwell> ugh. Thats so not true.
2904 2011-07-16 19:56:36 <Blitzboom> b4epoche: i agree. alcohol needs to be illegalized
2905 2011-07-16 19:56:39 <jjjx> I for one want Bitcoin to be madly explosive in the underground economy.
2906 2011-07-16 19:56:43 <BlueMatt> lol you guys are joking right
2907 2011-07-16 19:56:49 <BlueMatt> jjjx: trololololol
2908 2011-07-16 19:56:55 <Blitzboom> jjjx: agreed 100%
2909 2011-07-16 19:57:00 <gmaxwell> Bitcoin is fairly vulnerable to legal attack. If silkroad is the most prominant use of bitcoin, bitcoin will be screwed.
2910 2011-07-16 19:57:03 <Blitzboom> and i never understood why people saw it differently
2911 2011-07-16 19:57:06 <b4epoche> any drug that's addictive and debilitating needs to be illegal
2912 2011-07-16 19:57:27 <jjjx> b4epoche: Sugar?
2913 2011-07-16 19:57:39 <b4epoche> wtf?
2914 2011-07-16 19:57:42 <BlueMatt> you guys realize if bitcoin is made illegal in the us (which it will be if silk road becomes the primary use of it) most of the development on it will stop?
2915 2011-07-16 19:57:43 <Blitzboom> sugar is addictive
2916 2011-07-16 19:57:46 <Blitzboom> coffein too
2917 2011-07-16 19:57:57 <jjjx> Yes, caffeine.
2918 2011-07-16 19:58:02 <b4epoche> debilitating?
2919 2011-07-16 19:58:07 <Blitzboom> and glutumate
2920 2011-07-16 19:58:07 <b4epoche> maybe in the long, long term
2921 2011-07-16 19:58:15 <jjjx> b4epoche: Noticed all the overweight people with health problems in the US?
2922 2011-07-16 19:58:20 liltoe has joined
2923 2011-07-16 19:58:22 <Blitzboom> and i’ve read that salt is addictive, too
2924 2011-07-16 19:58:27 <jjjx> b4epoche: It's not because of heroin.
2925 2011-07-16 19:58:30 <BlueMatt> ok, thats enough on this topic, seriously
2926 2011-07-16 19:58:40 <Blitzboom> b4epoche: do you want to ban alcohol?
2927 2011-07-16 19:58:45 <b4epoche> yea, I'm sorry I brought that up...
2928 2011-07-16 19:58:48 <Blitzboom> because it’s one of the hardest drugs known to man
2929 2011-07-16 19:58:52 <b4epoche> alcohol isn't addictive (to most)
2930 2011-07-16 19:59:00 <Blitzboom> nicotine?
2931 2011-07-16 19:59:05 <BlueMatt> at some point you have to decide which drug is the worst and most addictive and cut that off
2932 2011-07-16 19:59:07 <jjjx> b4epoche: Neither is cannabis or ecstasy or LSD.
2933 2011-07-16 19:59:08 <gmaxwell> BlueMatt: what is the status of the key import/export rpcs?
2934 2011-07-16 19:59:18 <BlueMatt> gmaxwell: CBitcoinAddress first
2935 2011-07-16 19:59:27 <WakiMiko> if people want to destroy their life why not let them
2936 2011-07-16 19:59:33 * b4epoche never mentioned cannabis, ectasy or LSD
2937 2011-07-16 19:59:40 <BlueMatt> gmaxwell: afaik the code is ready to merge from sipa, but I dont think gavin or jgarzik have had time to look it over yet
2938 2011-07-16 19:59:55 <gmaxwell> BlueMatt: Whats CBitcoinAddress?
2939 2011-07-16 20:00:09 <Blitzboom> b4epoche: what about nicotine? one of the most addictive drugs known to man
2940 2011-07-16 20:00:13 <phantomcircuit> BlueMatt, speak for yourself...
2941 2011-07-16 20:00:16 <BlueMatt> gmaxwell: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/403
2942 2011-07-16 20:00:18 <Blitzboom> nicotine most addictive, alcohol must destructive
2943 2011-07-16 20:00:22 <Blitzboom> perfect combination
2944 2011-07-16 20:00:33 <b4epoche> Blitzboom:  but nicotine isn't short-term debilitating
2945 2011-07-16 20:00:39 <jjjx> Blitzboom: It's all about culture and what is status quo.
2946 2011-07-16 20:00:42 <phantomcircuit> nicotine isn't the most addictive
2947 2011-07-16 20:00:44 <phantomcircuit> heroin is
2948 2011-07-16 20:00:47 <Blitzboom> phantomcircuit: one of the most
2949 2011-07-16 20:00:47 <BlueMatt> phantomcircuit: Im pointing out the opinion of others, it doesnt strictly represent my opinions
2950 2011-07-16 20:00:48 <Blitzboom> i said
2951 2011-07-16 20:00:50 * b4epoche would be for a ban on cigarettes tho
2952 2011-07-16 20:00:55 <BlueMatt> ok guys, thats enough talk of drugs...can we stop now?
2953 2011-07-16 20:01:05 <phantomcircuit> lol
2954 2011-07-16 20:01:08 <phantomcircuit> i guess
2955 2011-07-16 20:01:08 <WakiMiko> yeah lets talk about botnets instead
2956 2011-07-16 20:01:11 <WakiMiko> :P
2957 2011-07-16 20:01:15 <BlueMatt> god no
2958 2011-07-16 20:01:19 <Blitzboom> i do run google chrome
2959 2011-07-16 20:01:25 <BlueMatt> I love chrome
2960 2011-07-16 20:01:25 <jjjx> phantomcircuit: Having done heroin and previously been addicted to cigarettes, I disagree.
2961 2011-07-16 20:01:53 <Blitzboom> jjjx: that’s because you suffer from short-term debilitation
2962 2011-07-16 20:01:54 <WakiMiko> bitcoins should be banned
2963 2011-07-16 20:01:56 <Blitzboom> obviously
2964 2011-07-16 20:01:57 <b4epoche> I'm sure the addictiveness depends on each person's level of stupidity
2965 2011-07-16 20:02:01 <WakiMiko> they are too adictive
2966 2011-07-16 20:02:11 <jjjx> :-)
2967 2011-07-16 20:02:13 <BlueMatt> ok guys, thats enough talk of drugs...can we stop now?
2968 2011-07-16 20:02:20 <phantomcircuit> MORE COCA
2969 2011-07-16 20:02:22 <Blitzboom> why?
2970 2011-07-16 20:02:22 <phantomcircuit> A COLA
2971 2011-07-16 20:02:26 <jjjx> Yes, Why? :)
2972 2011-07-16 20:02:37 <Blitzboom> we are having a civil discussion
2973 2011-07-16 20:02:37 <jjjx> Does it make you uncomfortable BlueMatt?
2974 2011-07-16 20:02:38 <BlueMatt> because its very off topic?
2975 2011-07-16 20:02:47 <gmaxwell> Yes, jesus.
2976 2011-07-16 20:02:51 <BlueMatt> it has moved from a discussion of bitcoin's involvement in stuff, to just other stuff
2977 2011-07-16 20:02:57 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Everything that's been discussed since I arrived in here has been OT... This is #bitcoin-dev
2978 2011-07-16 20:02:59 * b4epoche starts #bitcoin-anonymous
2979 2011-07-16 20:02:59 <gmaxwell> The OT talk in here makes it very hard for me to follow the actual development discussion.
2980 2011-07-16 20:03:12 <Blitzboom> yeah, it’s weird when people just begin to discuss things freely
2981 2011-07-16 20:03:14 <BlueMatt> jjjx: well atleast that stuff was related to bitcoin...
2982 2011-07-16 20:03:15 <Blitzboom> wtf is up with that
2983 2011-07-16 20:03:23 <gmaxwell> I come back from sleeping and there are a 100 pages of crap with 30 lines of development mixed in.
2984 2011-07-16 20:03:25 <jjjx> BlueMatt: Alright, fair enough. I'll give it up.
2985 2011-07-16 20:03:39 <gmaxwell> jjjx: Blitzboom: go to #bitcoin
2986 2011-07-16 20:03:54 <BlueMatt> gmaxwell: thats why I dont read scrollback unless it has my name
2987 2011-07-16 20:03:59 <BlueMatt> if its important its probably on the list
2988 2011-07-16 20:06:09 <b4epoche> did you know drinking distilled water can kill you?

2992 2011-07-16 20:06:45 <jjjx> Maybe we should talk about Silk Road again?
2993 2011-07-16 20:06:53 <phantomcircuit> how about we talk about this
2994 2011-07-16 20:07:04 <BlueMatt> good

3010 2011-07-16 20:08:42 <Namegduf> If you issue such an order, a mistake has been made
3011 2011-07-16 20:08:51 <jjjx> luke-jr: Presumably a British Pound Sterling exchange?
3012 2011-07-16 20:08:51 <Namegduf> Mistakes in exchanges are costly
3013 2011-07-16 20:08:55 <phantomcircuit> luke-jr, the correct way to quote GBP per BTC ;)
3014 2011-07-16 20:09:06 <jjjx> Or that.

3016 2011-07-16 20:09:26 <BlueMatt> BTC/GBP would be correct

3047 2011-07-16 20:13:00 <jjjx> And are there a lot of misc patches that come in?
3048 2011-07-16 20:13:08 <phantomcircuit> BlueMatt, yes i do

3054 2011-07-16 20:14:17 <BlueMatt> pull is a pull request
3055 2011-07-16 20:14:27 <BlueMatt> ie my code is good, pull it please
3056 2011-07-16 20:14:30 <jjjx> I don't know what that is. It sounds like a checkout.
3057 2011-07-16 20:14:31 <jjjx> Ah.
3058 2011-07-16 20:14:32 <jjjx> OK!
3059 2011-07-16 20:14:42 <BlueMatt> or more like "my code is pretty good, please comment and eventually pull"
3060 2011-07-16 20:15:06 <luke-jr> jjjx: there is no such thing as official
3061 2011-07-16 20:15:13 <jjjx> And how about forks of the official client? Anything interesting or active?
3062 2011-07-16 20:15:24 <jjjx> luke-jr: Of course, of course...
3063 2011-07-16 20:15:30 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: most of those pull requests I've looked at aren't good
3064 2011-07-16 20:15:35 <BlueMatt> theres a qt port, which should be pulled at some point not to far in the future...
3065 2011-07-16 20:15:45 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: well the writer thinks they are good
3066 2011-07-16 20:15:47 <BlueMatt> ...
3067 2011-07-16 20:15:56 <BlueMatt> theres also a cocoa port
3068 2011-07-16 20:16:07 <BlueMatt> but theres nothing really exiting in terms of forks aside from those
3069 2011-07-16 20:16:13 <luke-jr> cocoa has caffeine. it should be illegal.
3070 2011-07-16 20:16:19 <BlueMatt> ...
3071 2011-07-16 20:16:23 <luke-jr> jjjx: GitHub doesn't use correct terminology.
3072 2011-07-16 20:16:30 <luke-jr> jjjx: those are branch merge requests, not forks
3073 2011-07-16 20:16:42 <jjjx> Heh, strange.
3074 2011-07-16 20:16:51 <jjjx> Is that "git" terminology, or something GitHub made up?
3075 2011-07-16 20:16:54 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: that was a joke btw
3076 2011-07-16 20:16:56 <BlueMatt> gitish
3077 2011-07-16 20:16:59 <luke-jr> jjjx: GitHub
3078 2011-07-16 20:17:00 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: I know
3079 2011-07-16 20:17:38 <luke-jr> jjjx: everywhere else, fork = intended to be a new "upstream", not merged with the original
3080 2011-07-16 20:17:57 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: well when you fork in github, it could very well mean that
3081 2011-07-16 20:18:00 <BlueMatt> it just doesnt have to
3082 2011-07-16 20:18:22 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: I'm aware. The term for that is "branch".

3084 2011-07-16 20:18:35 <BlueMatt> no its not
3085 2011-07-16 20:18:42 <BlueMatt> that is when you make a branch on your tree
3086 2011-07-16 20:18:47 Ramokk has joined
3087 2011-07-16 20:18:51 <luke-jr> yes it is…
3088 2011-07-16 20:18:59 <BlueMatt> github tends to use the same exact terms as git command line itself uses
3089 2011-07-16 20:19:04 <luke-jr> branches are branches, no matter what repository they live in
3090 2011-07-16 20:19:16 <luke-jr> git command line doesn't use "fork"
3091 2011-07-16 20:19:20 <BlueMatt> meh, doesnt really matter anyway...
3092 2011-07-16 20:19:27 <WakiMiko> well since git is decentralized, you could argue that every clone is a fork, and every dev works on his own fork
3093 2011-07-16 20:19:40 * luke-jr notes "git branch --all" shows all branches-- local or remote
3094 2011-07-16 20:19:55 <luke-jr> WakiMiko: no, because the difference between a branch and a fork is the *intention* of it
3095 2011-07-16 20:20:22 <luke-jr> WakiMiko: whether one intends to create a new competing product (a fork), or contribute to the original one (just a branch)
3096 2011-07-16 20:20:34 * BlueMatt defines fork the same way github does, even if luke disagrees
3097 2011-07-16 20:20:36 <Kiba> branch are useless?
3098 2011-07-16 20:20:45 <WakiMiko> no branches are very useful
3099 2011-07-16 20:20:47 <Kiba> hersey!
3100 2011-07-16 20:20:49 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: fine, disagree with the whole world :P
3101 2011-07-16 20:20:51 <Kiba> branches are very useful
3102 2011-07-16 20:20:57 <BlueMatt> luke-jr: Im quite good at that
3103 2011-07-16 20:21:40 <Namegduf> I would say that the part making it a fork, not a branch
3104 2011-07-16 20:21:48 <Namegduf> Is that it is not run by the same people
3105 2011-07-16 20:21:56 <Namegduf> IMO
3106 2011-07-16 20:22:20 <Namegduf> Even if the fork was transient, it still was briefly operated and administrated by people outside the original project.
3107 2011-07-16 20:22:36 <WakiMiko> all my local branches are only run by me
3108 2011-07-16 20:22:40 <WakiMiko> now what
3109 2011-07-16 20:22:48 <WakiMiko> in any case it doesnt matter
3110 2011-07-16 20:22:59 <Namegduf> By that definition, most github forks are forks although they don't really have to be.

3123 2011-07-16 20:24:37 <jjjx> Kiba: Who pays him?
3124 2011-07-16 20:24:38 <jjjx> Indeed

3130 2011-07-16 20:24:59 <Kiba> why would his wife support gavin's effort?

3132 2011-07-16 20:25:09 <BlueMatt> Kiba: because he has a loving and supporting wife?

3169 2011-07-16 20:30:20 <Diablo-D3> jjjx: depends on the brand
3170 2011-07-16 20:30:40 <Diablo-D3> theres an off brand that appears under a few names (usually store brands and shit) of fruit loops that DOES taste bad
3171 2011-07-16 20:30:40 <jjjx> Diablo-D3: Kellogg's? :-)

3201 2011-07-16 20:33:39 <Diablo-D3> way back when, the government said "hey, why should kids have to pay for marketing"

3203 2011-07-16 20:33:57 <Diablo-D3> so kellogs went "okay, we'll buy the maltomeal company, and sell the same shit much cheaper with a shitty un-mascott on the bag"

3234 2011-07-16 20:38:22 <jav__> sipa's showwallet branch doesn't remove keys after exporting them, right? .. is there a branch which would allow to delete specific keys from a wallet?
3235 2011-07-16 20:38:24 <Diablo-D3> like, their version of golden grahams IS golden grhams

3240 2011-07-16 20:38:40 <jjjx> Diablo-D3: I always assumed that was the case. Why not produce both -- makes sense.
3241 2011-07-16 20:38:48 <Diablo-D3> and maltomeal sells things that arent kellogs
3242 2011-07-16 20:38:49 <gim> Zagitta: bitcoin network accepts all transactions, bitcoin client is not
3243 2011-07-16 20:38:50 <Diablo-D3> its just a back door deal
3244 2011-07-16 20:38:55 <Diablo-D3> and you know what
3245 2011-07-16 20:38:56 <gmaxwell> Zagitta: Other common clients won't forward transactions with outputs smaller than 0.01 unless the transaction includes a fee of at least 0.0005.
3246 2011-07-16 20:38:57 <Diablo-D3> its not even evil
3247 2011-07-16 20:39:01 <Diablo-D3> its a good thing

3276 2011-07-16 20:43:21 <gmaxwell> Zagitta: Thats probably a poor plan. It's not required, and it will be a lot of work to generate blocks that the network won't end up rejecting because you've subtly gotten some rule or another wrong.
3277 2011-07-16 20:43:25 <Diablo-D3> jjjx: you know what I think there IS a conspiracy about?

3363 2011-07-16 20:52:55 <jjjx> I mean people used to bootstrap themselves into assembly language, so I guess it can be done.
3364 2011-07-16 20:53:02 <gmaxwell> luke-jr: though shure it wouldn't be hard to make a getwork interface which instead gives you all the parts you need to build the work yourself.
3365 2011-07-16 20:53:14 <gmaxwell> And trusts that you'll return them all when you give a result.

3417 2011-07-16 21:01:37 <prof7bit> C# is only useful for very limited purposes, mostly when all the rest is already in C# (due to wrong decisions in the past)
3418 2011-07-16 21:01:54 <luke-jr> erus`: it doesn't have to, it isn't bloated :P

3432 2011-07-16 21:03:42 <luke-jr> or C99 if no GUI is needed :D
3433 2011-07-16 21:04:04 <erus`> only drivers should be in C
3434 2011-07-16 21:04:07 <prof7bit> i refuse to use it because you wont be able to tell me one reason to use it over what I hve aleady.
3435 2011-07-16 21:04:20 <prof7bit> and i dont like multi hundred MB runtimes.

3449 2011-07-16 21:07:07 <erus`> I wrote a little game in C before (a flight sim) and i ended up just using function pointers like overridden virtual functions it was just silly
3450 2011-07-16 21:07:13 <erus`> i should have just used C++
3451 2011-07-16 21:07:25 <luke-jr> erus`: if you're writing OO code, then you should use an OO language
3452 2011-07-16 21:07:30 <luke-jr> most code doesn't have a reason to be OO
3453 2011-07-16 21:07:50 <erus`> how do people handle entitys in C?
3454 2011-07-16 21:08:01 <prof7bit> by not using C?
3455 2011-07-16 21:08:08 <luke-jr> entities?
3456 2011-07-16 21:08:08 <gmaxwell> C is a nice language— and one of the few languages where its more likely than not that the programmer actually understand everythign they are doing with the language.

3606 2011-07-16 22:06:31 <bliket_> what is a key?
3607 2011-07-16 22:06:59 <bliket_> i bet you can't explain without using the word "key"
3608 2011-07-16 22:07:46 <jav__> sipa: ok.. but that can only happen to recent keys (in the last 100), right? .. so if it's an old key, with at least 100 keys generated after it, it can't appear in the keypool, right?
3609 2011-07-16 22:08:10 <sipa> jav__: shouldn't, indeed
3610 2011-07-16 22:08:18 <jav__> sipa: ok, thx

3631 2011-07-16 22:43:53 <gmaxwell> jav__: send the funds into a new wallet, and swap files, leave the old file around for recovery.
3632 2011-07-16 22:44:21 <gmaxwell> This is apparently what mtgox does.
3633 2011-07-16 22:44:35 <gmaxwell> (also— fix bitcoin to work better :) )
3634 2011-07-16 22:45:00 <phantomcircuit> jav__, you're using the built in accounts feature?

3636 2011-07-16 22:45:13 <gmaxwell> The remove code should probably check if there are inputs assigned to that address and refuse to do so until there are none.
3637 2011-07-16 22:45:22 <jav__> gmaxwell: I will make a backup of course... but sending funds alone won't work, because it would change Bitcoin addresses associated with accounts (I would have to import them into the fresh wallet as well)
3638 2011-07-16 22:45:32 <jav__> phantomcircuit: yes, I do

3642 2011-07-16 22:46:19 <gmaxwell> Just don't use it. Keep the balances in your own system.
3643 2011-07-16 22:46:23 <phantomcircuit> jav__, map address to account in a sql table
3644 2011-07-16 22:46:29 <gmaxwell> The accounts stuff is only bookkeeping in any case.

3646 2011-07-16 22:46:56 <jav__> gmaxwell: and have to worry about block chain re-orgs and all that stuff? no, I don't think that's a very good idea either
3647 2011-07-16 22:47:01 <phantomcircuit> it's the only scalable method
3648 2011-07-16 22:47:30 <jav__> fixing the account code in bitcoind could also be a scalable solution
3649 2011-07-16 22:47:49 <gmaxwell> jav__: only import payments into your db when they hit whatever point you consider mature.
3650 2011-07-16 22:47:51 <phantomcircuit> you effectively dont have to worry about block chain re-orgs if you only accept tx's with > 6 confirmations
3651 2011-07-16 22:48:01 <phantomcircuit> iirc there hasn't been a split of > 1 block in more than 3 months
3652 2011-07-16 22:48:17 <bliket_> gmaxwel: did you get your http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/Padlock_2_8GB/images/stickready.jpg
3653 2011-07-16 22:48:18 <gmaxwell> I don't think the account stuff in bitcoind copes well with reorgs anyways.
3654 2011-07-16 22:48:25 <bliket_> gmaxwell*
3655 2011-07-16 22:48:26 <jav__> I want to be able to notify clients of new transactions as soon as they arrive
3656 2011-07-16 22:48:41 <gmaxwell> bliket_: no? huh? I wouldn't use that. It's probably snake oil.
3657 2011-07-16 22:48:42 <jav__> so I can't limit myself to >6 confirmation stuff
3658 2011-07-16 22:48:50 <phantomcircuit> jav__, yes listtransactions will give you the confirmation count
3659 2011-07-16 22:48:54 <bliket_> snake oil?
3660 2011-07-16 22:49:01 <gmaxwell> jav__: sure, notify them, but don't consider them as deposited at that point.
3661 2011-07-16 22:49:03 <bliket_> why snake oil
3662 2011-07-16 22:49:10 <phantomcircuit> so you notify them that the transaction is there, but not yet confirmed enough
3663 2011-07-16 22:49:16 <bliket_> i dont get snake oil?
3664 2011-07-16 22:49:40 Lachesis has joined
3665 2011-07-16 22:49:42 <gmaxwell> bliket_: past hardware usb flash drives have been insecure. E.g. there was no encryption, even though they claimed there was.
3666 2011-07-16 22:49:43 <bliket_> it's just a flash drive with a padlock on it that uses aes 256
3667 2011-07-16 22:49:54 <phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, iirc this is legit
3668 2011-07-16 22:50:00 <bliket_> but it' corsair, corsair wouldnt lie
3669 2011-07-16 22:50:16 <Lachesis> sipa, around?
3670 2011-07-16 22:50:22 <gmaxwell> It claims to. How can you tell? also, it would be trivial for someone to scan the entire space of keys you're willing to type if they copied off the flash. Engineering around that is hard and they probably didn't.
3671 2011-07-16 22:50:33 <gmaxwell> bliket_: would the chinese vendor they bought from lie?
3672 2011-07-16 22:50:48 <bliket_> gmaxwell so I should just put it on a regular flash drive then
3673 2011-07-16 22:50:53 <jav__> well, there is also the question on how to learn about new transactions... I don't really want to do this poll-based, because I find it ugly an inefficient... but if you do it push-based, you have to worry about not missing transactions (in case bitcoind restarts and/or your application restarts)
3674 2011-07-16 22:50:59 <gmaxwell> bliket_: plus truecrypt or the like.
3675 2011-07-16 22:51:02 <phantomcircuit> bliket_, he has a point about the password keyspace
3676 2011-07-16 22:51:14 <bliket_> i have a point?
3677 2011-07-16 22:51:25 <bliket_> which one?
3678 2011-07-16 22:51:45 <phantomcircuit> jav__, the only real option at this point is to poll for new transactions, but it's a known fixed load
3679 2011-07-16 22:51:51 <makomk> http://www.corsair.com/pressrelease/corsair-flash-padlock-2-security-announcement - hmmmmmm...
3680 2011-07-16 22:51:51 <phantomcircuit> so it's not *that* big of an issue
3681 2011-07-16 22:52:19 <phantomcircuit> bliket_, it's like using a keyboard with only "abcde" on it for all your passwords
3682 2011-07-16 22:52:39 <bliket_> most y passwords are abcde
3683 2011-07-16 22:52:42 <jav__> it's ugly and it introduces latency where it shouldn't be necessary.. I consider that an issue
3684 2011-07-16 22:52:43 <bliket_> my*
3685 2011-07-16 22:52:46 <gmaxwell> jav__: re: reorgs. What happens if I pay into address XYZ, asscoiated with account X.  Then account Y spends that input elsewhere.  Later a reorg makes the txn into XYZ into a double spend, so it vanishes. What is the status of the accounts at the end.
3686 2011-07-16 22:53:11 <phantomcircuit> jav__, it is an issue, but there isn't a push method that actually works
3687 2011-07-16 22:53:22 <gmaxwell> jav__: I don't _think_ bitcoind correctly copes with that. I'm not even sure there is an obviously correct solution if there e.g. have been MOVE rpcs in the middle.
3688 2011-07-16 22:53:38 <Lachesis> do those corsair drives have encryption hardware?
3689 2011-07-16 22:53:43 <Lachesis> or do they handle it in s/w somewhere
3690 2011-07-16 22:53:47 <makomk> That's an impressive security glitch in those flash drives.
3691 2011-07-16 22:53:49 <Lachesis> if they have hardware, a pin _could_ be secure
3692 2011-07-16 22:53:56 <bliket_> its much easier to remember abcde, plus i like smoking weed
3693 2011-07-16 22:54:16 <Lachesis> lol KEY + 0/1 = erase pin
3694 2011-07-16 22:54:17 <gmaxwell> Lachesis: there have been ones that did it with software, yes.
3695 2011-07-16 22:54:20 <jav__> gmaxwell: I believe it will be correct (one of the reason I don't want to implement this myself, as bitcoind worries about this) ... but the reason it's correct, is mostly because it recalculates the state of accounts from scratch each time you ask for that
3696 2011-07-16 22:54:44 <gmaxwell> jav__: I don't think it will notice a txn you've already spent being invalidated.
3697 2011-07-16 22:54:49 <Lachesis> gmaxwell, if they handle it in hardware AND the hardware burns itself up after X invalid pins
3698 2011-07-16 22:54:52 <jav__> phantomcircuit: indeed, there is no good push method yet, so that's why I haven't switched to do my own accounting
3699 2011-07-16 22:54:54 <Lachesis> it's fairly secure
3700 2011-07-16 22:55:15 <gmaxwell> jav__: moreover, I can pretty much promise that no one has actually tested that case.
3701 2011-07-16 22:55:50 <gmaxwell> Lachesis: _maybe_ If thats all they did you just connected to the flash chips directly and copy the data off before you try any cracking.
3702 2011-07-16 22:55:55 <bliket_> its fairy secure
3703 2011-07-16 22:56:00 <phantomcircuit> jav__, well you're basically favoring eliminating a lag of between 0 and 30 seconds over consistency... not a decision i personally would choose
3704 2011-07-16 22:56:01 <jav__> gmaxwell: it will notice that, because it recalculates everything (walks through all your transactions)
3705 2011-07-16 22:56:10 <Lachesis> gmaxwell, there are secure key storage devices out there
3706 2011-07-16 22:56:16 <Lachesis> that you can't _copy_ the key from
3707 2011-07-16 22:56:33 <gmaxwell> Lachesis: yes, they'd have to use your idiot passoword to encrypt a 128 bit random string in a hardened device.
3708 2011-07-16 22:56:34 <Lachesis> you need a TEM to read the internal structures, or so i've been told
3709 2011-07-16 22:56:42 <jav__> phantomcircuit: why am I favoring that? .. you think using bitcoins account feature leads to inconsistency? I don't think so
3710 2011-07-16 22:56:54 <gmaxwell> Lachesis: this is why I said "Engineering around that is hard and they probably didn't."
3711 2011-07-16 22:56:54 <Lachesis> gmaxwell, yes, that's what i'd do - if my idiot password is 6 digits and you only get 10 tries
3712 2011-07-16 22:56:55 <Lachesis> good luck
3713 2011-07-16 22:57:02 <Lachesis> i wouldn't call that _hard_
3714 2011-07-16 22:57:07 <Lachesis> smart cards do it
3715 2011-07-16 22:57:15 <Lachesis> and they're insanely common in some parts of the world
3716 2011-07-16 22:57:16 <makomk> Lachesis: ahahahahahahahaha.
3717 2011-07-16 22:57:17 <gmaxwell> Lachesis: well, it adds considerably to the cost. And the user can't tell if you did it or not.
3718 2011-07-16 22:57:24 <phantomcircuit> jav__, i think it's a lot more likely bitcoind's internal accounting will have an error than a more mature rdbms
3719 2011-07-16 22:57:35 <makomk> Tell me, have you ever heard of a device called a glitcher?
3720 2011-07-16 22:57:42 <Lachesis> gmaxwell, yes, but if you're selling to the government, there are audits everywhere
3721 2011-07-16 22:57:45 <gmaxwell> jav__: seriously, the accounting code is not well tested.
3722 2011-07-16 22:57:57 <Lachesis> _some_ parts of some governments actually care
3723 2011-07-16 22:58:02 <gmaxwell> Lachesis: yes, this is why, e.g. the ironkey product I believe is probably legit.
3724 2011-07-16 22:58:07 <Lachesis> ya
3725 2011-07-16 22:58:15 <Lachesis> no, this corsair one clearly isn't
3726 2011-07-16 22:58:21 <Lachesis> since KEY + 0/1 erases your pin
3727 2011-07-16 22:58:37 <Lachesis> it takes some balls to make a device that will essentially destroy itself after a small number of pin misentries
3728 2011-07-16 22:58:43 <Lachesis> and then sell it for > $100 :)

I'm just saying that from my understanding of the code, the situation you described will be handled correctly .... and furthermore I'm saying that if I reimplement account features externally, I want a proper push-based solution to communicate with bitcoind first

3740 2011-07-16 23:03:43 <jav__> which I think is the correct path anyway... drop all the account features and only have a basic data stream that describes new as well as disappearing (because of double-spend) transactions, which can then be used for external accounting and a cleaner separation in the existing code base

3776 2011-07-16 23:56:07 <Akiron> b4epoche: but maybe i'm just fuzzy on the differences between the GUI client and bitcoind
3777 2011-07-16 23:56:13 <Zagitta> WakiMiko... problem is that AFAIK the difficulty of testnet in a box is lower than one and pushpool checks if shares are above difficulty 1
3778 2011-07-16 23:56:20 <b4epoche> the biggest issue is getting the dependencies installed
3779 2011-07-16 23:56:28 <Akiron> is there even a seperate bitcoind github project?
3780 2011-07-16 23:56:33 <b4epoche> Akiron:  there's really no difference
3781 2011-07-16 23:56:42 <WakiMiko> Zagitta: i have used neither so no idea :P
3782 2011-07-16 23:56:54 <b4epoche> essentially a command line argument is what makes bitcoin bitciond
3783 2011-07-16 23:56:56 <jgarzik> Akiron: they are built from the same source code
3784 2011-07-16 23:57:17 <Akiron> different make files?
3785 2011-07-16 23:57:19 <jgarzik> b4epoche: not quite.  bitcoind is a separate binary, without any GUI bits built in.
3786 2011-07-16 23:57:25 <jgarzik> Akiron: no
3787 2011-07-16 23:57:58 <b4epoche> hmm...  I never got two binaries :-(
3788 2011-07-16 23:58:04 <WakiMiko> different targets in the makefile
3789 2011-07-16 23:58:55 <Akiron> jgarzik: is there a download of the mac os x bitcoind binary somewhere? i'd prefer to just compile it to learn how to do it, though
3790 2011-07-16 23:59:13 <b4epoche> you can get my binary with a Cocoa GUI
3791 2011-07-16 23:59:23 <b4epoche> but it's really not too hard to compile
3792 2011-07-16 23:59:41 <b4epoche> in fact, bitcoin compiles really easily, it's just the dependencies that can be a headache
