00:00 trinque processing incoming barf from other nodes, yes?
00:00 trinque does it then write all messages to the db then start processing them?
00:00 decimation I can't enumerate them all, but the network code, for instance, runs in a different thread than the db code for instace
00:00 trinque I'm reading through the code, just trying to prime on whatever knowledge is handy
00:00 decimation I'm not sure on that point, would need to read the code
00:00 punkman you gotta read BDB code for those locks
00:09 punkman "Blockchain.info is currently down for maintenance. For status updates please see Twitter. Apologies for any inconvenience. "
00:09 punkman so they got wedged pretty bad?

00:25 asciilifeform i see no such thing here
00:25 trinque punkman: it is
00:26 punkman BingoBoingo: so you have an unwedged 0.5.3?
00:26 asciilifeform no
00:26 asciilifeform they're all firmly wedged
00:26 BingoBoingo punkman: Unwedged 0.7-ish stator still isn't anywhere near this sync'd yet
00:26 asciilifeform but i see nothing suggesting a db-related reason for it
00:27 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: record setting numbers of transactions in blocks
00:28 asciilifeform sure
00:29 asciilifeform but the conclusion does not follow
00:29 punkman danielpbarron: > Db::put: Cannot allocate memory << it's a bdb problem
00:29 BingoBoingo Follows same way as in March 2013

00:31 assbot The Marines say the controversial F-35 fighter is now ready for combat. Now what? - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1JCd5HZ )
00:32 decimation "They also pointed out that the aircraft is still under development and that full production is not scheduled until 2019, 17 years after the program’s inception. And they wondered whether the Pentagon really need 2,443 of the planes “in light of countervailing pressure to reduce force structure to conserve resources.”"

00:37 BingoBoingo was very slow to eat 51, but it did
00:37 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: is there a particular reason we didn't set that knob to maxint ?
00:38 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: I think we just copied that number from some patch Luke-Jr pointed us to
00:38 asciilifeform i mean, wtf is with this hardcoded limit retardation
00:38 asciilifeform is it 1974 and we are at ibm, in fortran ?
00:38 asciilifeform and lists can be 500 members long
00:38 BingoBoingo Kinda we are
00:39 asciilifeform i mean, yes, i haven't turned my death ray on db.cpp yet
00:39 asciilifeform because - it worked
00:39 BingoBoingo And then it didn't
00:40 BingoBoingo !up Luke-Jr
00:41 * asciilifeform will answer when the greps output
00:41 Luke-Jr asciilifeform: that's (partly) why we moved to LevelDB ;)
00:41 BingoBoingo !down Luke-Jr
00:41 BingoBoingo Imma go for a walk
00:42 danielpbarron hahahahaha
00:44 trinque asciilifeform | BingoBoingo: is there a particular reason we didn't set that knob to maxint ?
00:44 trinque again, what is it doing locking that many records at once?!?!
00:45 trinque at least in this conversation we *are* talking about databases; the above is insanely shit
00:45 trinque 40k of what
00:45 trinque point me at it and I'll go kill
00:46 trinque I modeled this thing with ben_vulpes one day on a whiteboard; the blockchain is not an impossibly complex data structure
00:51 punkman this probably comes from derpy indexes and structures used by bitcoind, not the blockchain

01:32 punkman bitcoind does some bdb config

01:33 mircea_popescu so it does yes
01:33 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it exists!
01:33 asciilifeform what value didja use for it?
01:33 mircea_popescu lol what, you thought i thought it didn't ?
01:34 mircea_popescu same as objects, for no good reason.
01:34 asciilifeform thought it might be unique to mircea_popescu's pdpcoin
01:34 mircea_popescu im not that snowflakey.

01:35 mircea_popescu i dun think i set it

01:54 mircea_popescu can't run such on a tiny system tho, obv.
01:54 asciilifeform i'm not seeing any increase in baseline footprint
01:55 mircea_popescu iirc bdb just makes assumptions about what memory it may allocate and dies at the later time if they get contradicted
01:55 mircea_popescu so you wouldn't see it now.
01:55 mircea_popescu whjy use static buffers when one can be a danger to the system

02:32 BingoBoingo 367892 as well
02:32 mircea_popescu i dunno where erryone else shops for intertubes that work
02:32 asciilifeform at the very least, ought to have ciphered 24/7 circuits between the reptilia supernodez
02:32 BingoBoingo At least I killed the orphanages earlier this week
02:34 * BingoBoingo went from fairly stable 224-236 MB of ram usage to a very flat 986 MB the very flat makes me suspect OpenBSD weird
02:34 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: much depends on mempool
02:35 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i routinely see factor of 3-7 variations between my nodez
02:35 BingoBoingo most of my debug.log is not allowing shit into mempool because insufficient fee
02:35 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo i suspect obds SANE. ie, it forces the allocation.
02:36 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i suspect obds SANE. ie, it forces the allocation. << It does for most things.
02:36 mircea_popescu if my suspect is true, this very neatly shows openbsd as a superior os.
02:37 mircea_popescu in this particular case, allocation should be forced.
02:37 BingoBoingo Well malloc() tends to aggressively try to keep shit from running into each other
02:37 mircea_popescu malloc or any other mechanism has no way out of "gimme 900mb" "only 600 here" "but you promised"
02:38 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: malloc is dumb as ox : either ptr to the 900, or null.
02:38 asciilifeform nothing more to it
02:38 mircea_popescu right you are.

09:46 mircea_popescu kakobrekla interesting. tho i don't get enough from that article to figure out how the fuck it'd work
09:48 mircea_popescu "Following more than a decade of research and development, 3D XPoint technology was built from the ground up to address the need for non-volatile, high-performance, high-endurance and high-capacity storage and memory at an affordable cost."
09:48 mircea_popescu i mean what the shit is this even.
09:48 mircea_popescu i thought it was built from the clouds down, honestly.
09:48 mircea_popescu thanks intel for setting my heresy straight.
09:49 kakobrekla dunno but apparently they have working wafers
09:49 mircea_popescu !up letstrythis
09:50 mircea_popescu good for 'em... i wonder if this is the glass thing being discussed for the past year
09:50 mircea_popescu only real clue being the "non volatile" part
09:53 kakobrekla good part seems to be that you can manipulate a single bit unlike flash.
09:54 mircea_popescu seems mindblowing, non volatile yet non rom.
09:54 mircea_popescu anyway.
10:00 mircea_popescu oh this is resistive memory.
10:01 mircea_popescu prolly hafnium oxide, which should make the world situation ever more interesting.
10:01 mircea_popescu this century will be the rare earths century.
10:09 mircea_popescu (brazil and australia pretty much own the known hf supply atm). in any case, pretty fucking weird that goldbugs and silverheads still insist with their "precious" metals. they're useless. pm freaks of 2015 really should collect hf. cerium. lanthanum. europium. etc.
10:11 decimation gold makes excellent electrical contacts
10:11 mircea_popescu europium phosphates for instance are still to this day the only way to get a decent red.
10:11 decimation silver is pointless as a monetary metal - too common with too many reserves
10:11 mircea_popescu except electric contacts are not really where the cut lies atm. optic interactions (hence hafnium - ever seen an ingot with the microflim effect btw ?)
10:11 mircea_popescu and dielectric properties.
10:11 mircea_popescu those are the two main things.
10:12 mircea_popescu prolly should say "dielectric secondary properties".
10:12 decimation yes, this is true. you need a supply of gold for electronics certainly, but it need not be huge
10:12 mircea_popescu and it need not be gold.
10:12 mircea_popescu for instance - platinum's even better.
10:13 decimation yeah you can use aluminium to bond wires
10:13 decimation silver too
10:13 mircea_popescu or doctored graphite
10:13 mircea_popescu it's just not a bottleneck atm. sure, maybe it will become. who knew, in the 60s, that mountain pass thing in pasadena would be the most strategically important place in all the us.
10:13 decimation apparently palladium coated copper is used too
10:14 decimation gold is nice because it doesn't oxidize, just sits
10:14 mircea_popescu sure, nice.
10:14 mircea_popescu meanwhile every time china cuts quotas, the futures go into 10x explosions.

10:15 mircea_popescu and you simply can't beat a value proposition like "either have europium or not be able to display the color red - it's that simple".

10:17 mircea_popescu iirc obama even whined at the wtc about china rare earth policy
10:17 mircea_popescu they laughed at him.
10:17 mircea_popescu somehow his international relations failures when being humiliated by putin in public are widely discussed
10:18 mircea_popescu but his much more important failures when trying to preserve soime sort of future for that country get ignored throughout.
10:18 mircea_popescu a well.
10:18 mircea_popescu nobody yet wanted to be africa and failed to get its wish.
10:19 decimation yarvin pointed out the amusing contrast between the us wanting to de-africanize africa and the chinese wanting to take its minerals
10:19 decimation it seems the chinese approach is working out better for both parties
10:20 mircea_popescu i guess alf's observation re kalash bullets, copper and izhevsk is so difficult to grok and utterly advanced people just can't wrap their heads around the fact that copper's not really the only superiority metal.
10:20 mircea_popescu decimation soon to come to a strip mine/mall near you!
10:21 mircea_popescu actually...
10:21 decimation you can watch the california rare earth mine in operation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id8hDUT5nHQ&list=UU96FUEp85Kk0PdKd9hp8jww

10:21 decimation WE R ENERGY EFFICIENT
10:21 mircea_popescu strip/mine/mall. what eat/pray/love.
10:22 decimation it looks like it was built to golden toilet standards, it'll be interesting to see how profitable it is
10:23 mircea_popescu it is actually not unreasonable to overspend on sustainability when building a mine.
10:23 decimation the challenge with rare earths isn't finding them or digging them up, it's sorting them and processing them
10:23 decimation well, the us has lots of experience with blotted landscapes due to mining
10:23 mircea_popescu yes. the fact that they can't currently be extracted efficiently from electronics scrap speaks volumes.
10:23 mircea_popescu otherwise ocean extraction would almost be practicable.
10:24 mircea_popescu the trawlers that pretty much took all the fish, 1965-2015 can be refurbished to suck out the rare earths too, 2015-2065.
10:24 decimation heh, or if we go 'full fission' U also
10:25 mircea_popescu i doubt you'll ever be able to put up your gf's butt something that was inside a reactor core during your lifetime.
10:26 decimation yeah, it's one of those 'we could safely use nuclear to supply electricty to everyone but we don't because reasons' situation
10:26 mircea_popescu uhh
10:26 mircea_popescu well in this case the reasons seem to be more like, "because it will kill you painfully."
10:26 decimation heh no
10:26 decimation who died because of fukashima?
10:27 mircea_popescu you're not serious are yo u?
10:27 decimation yes, who died?
10:28 decimation fission is by far the safest method of electricity production
10:28 mircea_popescu is this a rehash of the entire russian song and dance about how "nobody died at chernobyl" ?
10:28 mircea_popescu at least a dozen people died the first week.
10:29 mircea_popescu you know, just because japan's a colony and ukraine a colony of "the enemy" doesn
10:29 mircea_popescu 't make usg's shit not stink somehow, magically.
10:29 punkman no "official" deaths
10:29 decimation okay
10:29 mircea_popescu but i will note for jurov's benefit exactly what the differences are between his great friend to the east and his great friend to the west.
10:30 decimation http://www.withouthotair.com/c24/page_168.shtml < figure 24.11 shows death rates of electricity generation technologies
10:30 assbot Ch 24 Page 168: Sustainable Energy - without the hot air | David MacKay ... ( http://bit.ly/1IBxeNw )
10:31 mircea_popescu fission may well be the safest method of electricity production. that's not in discussion. a large part of WHY it is the safest involves not sticking bits of a reactor core inside you.
10:31 decimation eh, as long it's just a little bit you'll be okay
10:31 mircea_popescu (i have the math done on the difference between being exposed to a meltdown outside and being exposed to ingested material, if the obvious difference's aren't obvious i can dig it up)
10:33 mircea_popescu but it boils down to the simple fact that if you're a mile away your share of the sphere surface is tiny, whereas if you're surrounding the item, your share's 100%. distance is a much better insulator than mass, because distance goes into the formula ^3. and consequently you're better off a mile away from a ton's worth of criticality than with a gram of the stuff in your colon.
10:33 decimation sure, but meanwhile all waste products are captured rather than being dumped into the atmosphere
10:33 mircea_popescu ;;calc 1600^3 / 1000^2
10:33 gribble Error: Something in there wasn't a valid number.
10:34 mircea_popescu ;;calc 1600**3 / 1000**2
10:34 gribble 4096
10:34 mircea_popescu 4kb times better off, to be specific.
10:34 mircea_popescu decimation the idea was that somehow you create the hafnium you use in your laptop through a fission process that happened during your lifetime.
10:34 mircea_popescu that's what i was answering to.
10:34 decimation ah yes that's a different matter
10:35 decimation probably not gonna happen
10:35 mircea_popescu right.
10:35 decimation I was pointing out that if you are gonna such halfnium from seawater, might as well get some U too
10:35 mircea_popescu that's all i was saying really. making your own rare metals may work, but it won't be this century.
10:35 mircea_popescu oh oh.
10:35 mircea_popescu then i misunderstood what you were proposing.
10:35 mircea_popescu i thought you wanted it made the only way we know how to create elements atm.
10:36 decimation because of this chart: http://www.withouthotair.com/c24/page_164.shtml
10:36 assbot Ch 24 Page 164: Sustainable Energy - without the hot air | David MacKay ... ( http://bit.ly/1IBynV6 )
10:37 decimation he's point is that you could suply 420 kWh per day per person in the entire world if you mined oceanic uranium and used fast breeders to maximally extract energy from it
10:37 mircea_popescu the x per day bla bla figure is spurious. obviously there's a shitton of energy there. the problem is we don't yet have the filters.
10:38 mircea_popescu but yes, perhaps getting there.
10:38 decimation it's the only technology that (mostly) exists that could possibly give a 'european' level of energy use to the entire world
10:39 mircea_popescu this "from the clouds down" approach... who cares about "the entire world", srsly ?
10:39 decimation heh well yeah. ultimately he's kinda a libertard
10:40 mircea_popescu anyway. i always thought all the work in fine graphite fibers is really intended to do this, eventually.
10:40 decimation yes, 'buckyball' strands were supposed to be the next big thing
10:41 mircea_popescu but in all fairness this thing, while in principle promising, is mroe than a few tweaks away.
10:41 BingoBoingo <decimation> yes, 'buckyball' strands were supposed to be the next big thing << Turns out lots are easy to make already, start a wood fire.
10:41 mircea_popescu meanwhile buying a kilogram bar of non radioactive rare earth metal is perfectly feasible as-is.
10:44 decimation yes, not such a bad idea
10:44 decimation if you are going with industrial usefuless, palladium or pt are also good metals to hold
10:46 mircea_popescu my concern was more cultural, so to speak. here are these dudes, maybe 100k of them, all heads counted. they're mostly over 50 white men, who have for 30 years been buying and hoping.
10:46 mircea_popescu meanwhile, during THAT EXACT INTERVAL, this set of 10-20 metals did EXACTLY what they had hoped their dead horse would do.
10:47 mircea_popescu went up what, 10x a decade. easy.
10:47 mircea_popescu yet somehow in their minds the idea doesn't form that... hello ? anyone home ?
10:47 mircea_popescu it's pretty interesting a phenomenon.
10:51 decimation yeah it's a good point. gold is double-edged because it's the thing everyone else is warehousing

11:05 asciilifeform (see also the old reactor gold thread)
11:06 decimation yeah, but probably not economically
11:06 asciilifeform not gold, no
11:06 asciilifeform but rare earths - quite possibly.
11:07 asciilifeform the incentive for vendor to lie about this, is, obviously, there. but on other hand, if it functions as part of a semiconductor, it more or less ~has~ to be radiologically clean!
11:07 asciilifeform thinkaboutit
11:07 decimation actually this is a side-effect of ramping up fission - it would increase the supply of random shit coming out of the reactor to study
11:08 asciilifeform has to be ramped up soviet-style - with whiners told to go fuck a duck - rather than usg-style, where they somberly bury the spent rods in a coffin, with christian funeral
11:08 decimation heh
11:08 asciilifeform (then to have'em slowly leak into ground water somewhere)
11:08 decimation yes, this is true, although I would prefer us safety record
11:09 decimation asciilifeform: my understanding that the "U" dry storage casks are specially designed to be put into 'fast breeder' - for a time when usg comes to its sense
11:09 asciilifeform u.s. safety record of the final collapse period will quite likely make the su one look rather good in comparison.

11:11 asciilifeform they imagine an aucalypse where their coinz are now the only valuable thing testable with your teeth, and thereby True Money (tm)
11:11 mircea_popescu the "resistance through culture" intellectuals still did a lot to mitigate the sort of damage discussed here
11:12 asciilifeform american reactors are still, for instance, built in such a way as to be helpless in the face of a total shortage of diesel

13:15 mircea_popescu this could actually be a reasonably decent companion project. make a static html exporter companion for bitcoind
13:15 asciilifeform aha
13:15 shinohai asciilifeform: like an insight explorer?
13:15 mircea_popescu then everyone running a node can run that too, if they run a webserver.
13:15 asciilifeform not entirely related,
13:15 mircea_popescu keep the css off, results in minimal pages.
13:15 asciilifeform this is when i point out that someone has been playing with phuctor
13:15 mircea_popescu if you can store 100gb of chain you can store 100mb of static html.
13:16 shinohai I haz room
13:16 asciilifeform the current gcd algo in use has a pretty obvious shortcoming: if there is a phuctored key, such that it is the only key with a given known factor,
13:16 asciilifeform and dr. evil doesn't like it to be there,
13:16 asciilifeform he can take said factor, multiply by a new prime, and poof
13:16 asciilifeform it vanishes
13:17 mircea_popescu huh ?
13:17 scoopbot_revived MiniGame (S.MG), July 2015 Statement http://trilema.com/2015/minigame-smg-july-2015-statement/
13:18 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: because prior to gcd, we divide the product by the modulus, if the former is integer-divisible by the latter
13:18 mircea_popescu ok..
13:18 asciilifeform this is to account for the modulus having been already submitted (if it has)
13:19 asciilifeform but it can also have the effect of removing two factors from the product that were ~not~ part of a single modulus
13:19 asciilifeform but rather, of two different ones.
13:19 asciilifeform this is why the counter now shows 104
13:19 mircea_popescu well this isn't very smart then, is it.
13:19 asciilifeform whereas at one point it showed 106.
13:19 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the pill against this is for phuctoring to register as ~an event~
13:20 mircea_popescu so it is.
13:20 asciilifeform creating a permanent record.
13:20 mircea_popescu would help rss too

13:20 asciilifeform and requires rechurning the entire db
13:20 asciilifeform hence i have not had anything like the time to carry it out.
13:20 mircea_popescu of course
13:20 asciilifeform it is, however, in the pipe.
13:20 mircea_popescu the shenanigans would come back out once a 2nd item is found
13:20 asciilifeform the reason i mention it now,

14:31 trinque ben_vulpes: I had a bitch-fest about "why the fuck does anything on earth need 40k locks" and got crickets
14:31 trinque something is obscenely wrong there
14:31 trinque so it routinely tries to break the integrity of its own data to the tune of 10s of thousands
14:32 trinque if bitcoind were intended to obscure the functioning of the bitcoin algorithm for as long as possible, it would've come out the same way
14:38 trinque relatedly, my new hobby is reading wireshark logs of bitcoind's operation
14:44 asciilifeform the new phuctor, like it or not, will have to consist of static html updated at intervals.
14:45 asciilifeform the one we have now has been ddosed into more or less total uselessness
14:45 ben_vulpes the fate of all useful things connected to the internet without mitigation
14:45 ben_vulpes not getting ddosed? not useful.
14:46 davout this ^
14:46 ben_vulpes hi davout
14:47 trinque anyone give a shit about discussing cranking a magic number to 11 without discussing how the fuck it's using that many locks?
14:47 asciilifeform trinque: me.
14:48 trinque I can spend the next couple weeks staring at all the db code, but if it's already been thought through by someone, I'm all ears
14:48 * asciilifeform has been, very reluctantly, unravelling the bdb thing in his head today
14:50 ben_vulpes trinque: "many eyes"
14:50 ben_vulpes don't worry about wasted effort. the more people who have it in their head, the better off la serenissima is.
14:50 ben_vulpes besides, you'll need to write a bitcoind of your own some day anyways.
14:51 davout ohai ben_vulpes et al.
14:51 ben_vulpes how's life, davout? haven't seen you much of late.
14:51 trinque ben_vulpes: widespread use of indices to deal with the fact that berkdb... ain't a db?
14:51 davout second kid arrived, private pilot license in progress 70% pretty much sums it up :-)
14:52 trinque then parallel threads trying to dick with said indices?
14:52 trinque aka lets invent a database while inventing bitcoind?
14:52 ben_vulpes myeah. curse of the kv user.
14:52 trinque that's what I'm seeing, just trying to measure my own sense of stink against others
14:52 ben_vulpes similar to how all blublangs implement conditions poorly.
14:53 ben_vulpes trinque: it's a crime that there are no transaction indices or block indices.
14:53 trinque should jsut be a separate concern entirely
14:53 ben_vulpes (see asciilifeform's comment re upper bound of dumpblock)
14:53 ben_vulpes davout: sounds like a lot of work. congrats etc.
14:53 trinque where does the abstract logic of bitcoin end and the implementation of a shitty db begin
14:53 trinque have fun kid, who knows!
14:53 trinque haha
14:53 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: block indices are computed! because they are a function of longest-chain
14:53 asciilifeform thinkaboutit
14:54 ben_vulpes $bizpartner took me up in a 2 seat glider the other weekend, after about .75 hrs of going in a circle to the right i asked to come down, was put on the stick and pedals instead.
14:54 davout haha nice
14:54 ben_vulpes shocking how quickly my equilibrium returned
14:54 davout gliders are pretty high on my todo
14:54 ben_vulpes it's like a surfboard for the sky!
14:55 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: location of block on disk, though?
14:55 asciilifeform ben_vulpes proposes to move them on disk every reorg ?
14:55 * ben_vulpes may be wrong, is undercaffinated, girl is stil making breakfast.
14:55 ben_vulpes no no no
14:55 trinque model all blocks
14:55 trinque all paths
14:55 trinque then have something pointing
14:55 trinque like a version control system would do
14:56 asciilifeform ^ what we have now
14:56 asciilifeform every block sits down on disk sequentially, and the db index thing points to indices
14:57 ben_vulpes + // this is O(n^2)...
14:57 ben_vulpes + // possibly could be improved if we descend from best height if requested height is closer to it
14:57 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: technically the comment is wrong, the operation is O(N)
14:57 asciilifeform getting ~all~ the blocks is O(n^2)
14:57 asciilifeform i did point this out shortly after posting it.
14:58 ben_vulpes this is above my pay grade in terms of data structures, but perhaps an opportunity to learn. is there not a data structure available for use that doesn't have to iterate through the whole index to grab the element of interest?
14:58 trinque just point at the end of all paths
14:58 trinque and append-only
14:58 trinque I cannot fathom what's hard in here, and I'm plainly asking to be called a moron, and why
14:59 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: try to understand why there is the index to begin with
14:59 trinque git *is* this data structure
14:59 asciilifeform rather than 'take nth 1MB block from disk'
14:59 asciilifeform it is because reorgs
14:59 asciilifeform and also because varying sizes of block
14:59 ben_vulpes myes, i follow.
14:59 asciilifeform really this is quite similar to everyone's file system.
15:02 ben_vulpes what i do not understand is why it is necessary to iterate through mapblockindex.
15:02 ben_vulpes probably an uninteresting question.
15:02 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: because gotta walk the chain to answer the question of 'who is nth block'
15:03 asciilifeform on account of it being a tree (with reorgs) rather than a mere linked list
15:09 ben_vulpes hm
15:09 ben_vulpes TODAY I DO BATTLE WITH PYTHONPATH

17:08 Adlai 'it is mind that moves'
17:08 punkman see also BIP0032
17:08 Adlai ... how exactly?
17:10 Apocalyptic punkman, care to explain your reasoning behind this claim ?
17:11 asciilifeform and what is an 'HD' wallet ?
17:11 shinohai wallets that look slick and get your coins lost
17:11 Apocalyptic asciilifeform, it's a way of deriving addresses deterministically from an original seed using a HMAC function afaik
17:11 shinohai I dont really like SPV wallets either
17:12 punkman Apocalyptic: I have mentioned it here several times
17:14 punkman lemme see if I can dig up thje links
17:14 asciilifeform Apocalyptic: what is the point of this practice ?
17:15 Apocalyptic punkman, I simply don't see the relationship between HMAC-derived addresses and the signature process, more specifically the k-value
17:15 asciilifeform why not use a proper rng ?

17:16 shinohai Am i alone here in hating on darkwallet too?
17:16 asciilifeform i never understood the purpose of these perverse gymnastics
17:16 Apocalyptic punkman, maybe HD wallet doesn't mean the same thing for you
17:16 asciilifeform rng is so hard to come by ?
17:16 Apocalyptic asciilifeform, proper rng ?
17:16 asciilifeform aha
17:17 asciilifeform if you're poor, you 1) don't need this 2) throw fucking dice
17:17 Apocalyptic and if you're not poor, you buy a cardano I guess
17:17 decimation maybe use that guy's ti-89 code for making key
17:17 Adlai shinohai:you're not alone, fuck darkwallet
17:17 shinohai use plain die
17:17 asciilifeform not like there aren't rng available now
17:17 Adlai it's already dead
17:17 Adlai that's the problem
17:18 Adlai dead, orphaned, yet somehow still losing idiot nickles
17:18 decimation asciilifeform: part of the problem is, it's hard for folks to trust what's inside a black box without understanding what's inside
17:18 shinohai thx Adlai too many people don't want bitcoin but an *app* for bitcoin
17:18 asciilifeform and they understand prng ?
17:19 Adlai punkman: fwiw i'm quite sure bip32 doesn't make your addresses less secure, provided you don't leak the key data
17:19 decimation if you can't understand prng, how are they gonna understanding the elliptical key math, even if they supply their own dice numbers?
17:19 Adlai it does mean that a leak compromises multiple addresses, but that's because they essentially have the same key
17:19 decimation Adlai: so why bother? why not use just one key?
17:20 decimation seems like it's a device to pull the wool in front of your own eyes
17:21 jurov decimation: some people prefer to not have to maintain properly megabyte wallet.dat files
17:22 jurov cold store the seed once and get as many addresses as desired
17:22 decimation if you can cold store on seed, why not two? or N?
17:23 Apocalyptic in other news from the factoring mines I managed to get the complete factorization of the shortest phuctored modulus so far: http://nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/976AAB6D6B7F325843FF0E3653C219B9D6738C5F016F72973E311181614ECAF5

17:25 Adlai decimation: you can "cold store" an infinite number of addresses in your head as a phrase,but only a finite number of distinct keys
17:26 Apocalyptic punkman, can you be more specific and point me to a given page/chapter ?
17:26 * Adlai is not advocating the use of "brainwallets" where you pick the phrase, but rather a phrase generated from randomness + wordlist
17:26 jurov ^ sop
17:26 danielpbarron sounds like the deterministic thing comes from the already brain damaged desire to never reuse an address
17:26 punkman Apocalyptic: eh, read the paper
17:26 Apocalyptic also it's a paper from Courtois, who afaik has wrote many innacuracies about bitcoin
17:27 Apocalyptic "One small security incident in a remote
17:27 Apocalyptic corner of the system and everything collapses, all private keys can be re-
17:27 Apocalyptic covered and ALL bitcoins within the remit of the system can be stolen.
17:27 Apocalyptic Privilege escalation attacks on HD Wallet solutions are not new. In this
17:27 Apocalyptic paper we take it much further."
17:27 asciilifeform re: rng:
17:27 Apocalyptic (sorry for \n) punkman if this is their main point then it's moot wrt was I was asking
17:27 asciilifeform 'The Die. A die complained: "I have not been / Quite comfortable in my skin. / Of my six planes, the sitting side, / And bore it but my single mark, / Must ever gaze, not far and wide, / But into earth's eternal dark." When earth beneath him heard the cube, / She very nearly blew a tube. / "You jackass," said she, "what a farce! / I'm dark when covered by your arse! / As soon as you will move the same, I'll shine as with a ge
17:27 asciilifeform m-like flame." / The die, insulted past repair, / Chose not to bandy words with her.' (Morgenstern, transl. by Arndt)
17:27 Adlai "can be stolen by people who have the auditor keys" - don't expose mpub, period. bip32 is not designed for auditing [live] wallets
17:28 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 19809 @ 0.00051933 = 10.2874 BTC [-] {2}
17:28 Apocalyptic that is: the hierarchy-deterministic way of computing addresses doesn't weaken at all the signature
17:28 asciilifeform it weakens ~the whole shebang~
17:28 jurov danielpbarron: well, people like mp (or me) who want to sleep ad libitum and thus decided to accept coins, inveitably end up requiring $maxint addresses
17:28 Apocalyptic well sure it does
17:28 asciilifeform because the number of bits that must be learned by the enemy to take all of your coin - is smaller.
17:29 asciilifeform qed.
17:29 punkman the point is idiots will lose their coins this way, dunno what else you want
17:29 Adlai idiots losing coin is the root of all deflation
17:30 Adlai although in the current market climate, theft may do the opposite
17:30 Apocalyptic asciilifeform, if something strikes you as odd among these factors please do tell
17:30 * Adlai is a big fan of "magic" HD wallets, that send your funds into obscure chains... spendable, if you know where to look
17:31 asciilifeform Apocalyptic: as far as i can tell, the factors found thus far all fit the profile of factors-of-randomly-chosen-integer
17:31 asciilifeform (we know that they are not randomly-chosen, at least in the case of the 'magic 32-bit copy' set. but otherwise, yes)
17:32 asciilifeform Apocalyptic: what did it take to obtain the factors ?

In that epoch I was firmly convinced that

19:49 kakobrekla if block explorer is to have any usability you imho need to expand db a lot.
19:50 mircea_popescu db-on-disk aka static html files.
19:50 kakobrekla O_o
19:50 trinque hm yeah seems like this should be bolted to dumpblock?
19:50 trinque not bolted, should make use thereof
19:50 shinohai yes trinque
19:50 mircea_popescu why do it on demand ? just dump out the "block explorer" material as you process the txn
19:50 trinque ^ yeah
19:50 kakobrekla blockdumper != blockexplorer
19:51 trinque I know, saying where he can get the data
19:51 mircea_popescu kakobrekla you wouldn't know the difference from the clicking side.
19:51 kakobrekla but you would.
19:51 mircea_popescu sure, it won't contain retarded "click here for value in dollars" dongles
19:51 mircea_popescu you don't want those.
19:52 kakobrekla bitcoind on its own gives you ability to do approx nothing. it cant tell me unspent output of an address unless that address is in the wallet (watch only suffices).
19:52 mircea_popescu but, accept a new tx ? add txhash.html in /tx/ dir.
19:52 shinohai no then you are unwittingly pegged, like a fat McWhore
19:52 kakobrekla only if you keep a seperete record
19:52 kakobrekla of all the things
19:52 mircea_popescu accept a new block ? add blockhash.html in /block/
19:52 mircea_popescu reorg a block ? modify its html
19:52 mircea_popescu etc
19:53 kakobrekla how is this better than just doing dump block in your shell
19:53 mircea_popescu at all points there's a purely injective function from blockchain to blockexplorer html pile
19:53 mircea_popescu kakobrekla cause some people wanna click on web things, what.
19:53 mircea_popescu how is anything better than irc and shell. they want the web.
19:53 trinque seems like looking for log messages in the code would be a decent way to find where to hook
19:53 kakobrekla i dont see any use in it, build what you want.
19:53 trinque cmon hypertext is pretty cool
19:54 trinque I hear it's getting big these days
19:54 mircea_popescu kakobrekla i see the use of a block explorer website with 0 js on it.
19:54 kakobrekla you dont need js to bloxexplore on current blockexplorers
19:54 mircea_popescu and add a "guaranteed accurate by process" thing to it makes it wunderbar.
19:55 mircea_popescu also the fact that "any node can stand up a block explorer" is just the pill to sink the fucktarded "oh herp, we invested in bc.i" shitticon valley crap.
19:55 kakobrekla blockexplorer != blockdumper
19:55 mircea_popescu i enjoy making their investments worthless for purely political reasons. pederasts gotta learn.
19:55 kakobrekla keep messing up these things.
19:55 shinohai shit
19:56 kakobrekla blockdumper is unable to tell you how much spendables is on a given address.
19:56 mircea_popescu it can list them.
19:57 mircea_popescu i guess you need magic to add them, fine, whatevs.
19:57 gernika Is the pederast epithet a reference to older VCs getting kicks from paying a bunch of young hacker boys to hang out with them?
19:58 trinque lol this thing just uses various *print* functions to log
19:58 kakobrekla mircea_popescu> it can list them. < not trivially.

19:59 ben_vulpes welcome, trinque
19:59 trinque ben_vulpes: it hurts!
19:59 trinque everything hurts!
19:59 ben_vulpes so stop doing it or stfu
20:00 trinque I shall do neither.
20:00 kakobrekla ftr, toshi (postgres) currently has 488 gb database for the 30 or so gigs of blockchain
20:00 gernika mircea_popescu Interesting. That's one thing you and Michael O. Church agree on.
20:00 ben_vulpes 'twas a joke, joke only.
20:00 trinque I know I know
20:00 mircea_popescu gernika the difference being that he's poor.
20:00 kakobrekla theres a reason for that.
20:00 ben_vulpes kakobrekla: ever run an 'abe'?
20:00 mircea_popescu kakobrekla there maybe is or maybe is not.
20:00 kakobrekla ben_vulpes sure, and a bunch of other explorers.
20:00 kakobrekla some, not public.
20:01 ben_vulpes which to avoid, which are not miserable?
20:01 mircea_popescu having someone from here try it is still a great thing.
20:01 kakobrekla they are all miserable.
20:01 ben_vulpes o well then
20:01 trinque I'll say writing deedbot- was highly instructive.
20:01 kakobrekla but yeah stay away from abe
20:01 trinque shinohai: ^^
20:01 ben_vulpes why is abe so bad?
20:01 kakobrekla last i checked, years ago, that was a piece of spaghetti pythons that broke weekly
20:02 ben_vulpes aside from "can't serve while indexing lol"?
20:02 shinohai abe sucks, i'd rather rebuild bitpay insight -css
20:02 * ben_vulpes kicked off its indexer this morning
20:03 ben_vulpes ah jesus insight is a shitshow that much i know from pissing on the fence in question
20:04 ben_vulpes kakobrekla: 'toshi' creates its db from a rails schema iirc, no surprise that it's 10x blockchain size
20:04 ben_vulpes but transaction indexing etc should take *that* much space...
20:04 shinohai then i have no framework
20:04 kakobrekla ben_vulpes others arent that much smaller
20:04 shinohai besies bitcoind output
20:05 gernika mod6 asciilifeform fyi I just successfully built stator bitcoind on top of rotor. Gentoo inside Parallels. Needed trinque's patch.
20:05 kakobrekla blockr was something like 200-300 gigs iirc
20:05 ben_vulpes wow.
20:05 mircea_popescu blocker's in past tense now ?
20:06 ben_vulpes whence the extra data? most of the relationships should live in foreign keys.
20:06 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes yeah, there's a reason i keep saying plain html and db on disk and stuff
20:06 kakobrekla sort of.
20:06 * ben_vulpes off for a bit
20:06 mircea_popescu exactly to piss on the face of all the "developer" kids with "ideas"
20:07 kakobrekla plain html and db on disk and stuff < yes we want another duplicate of useless stuff stored in blockchain files
20:07 shinohai You shouldn't trust developers tis true
20:07 mircea_popescu yes. we do.
20:07 mircea_popescu to replace the useless duplicate of all the shit in a ruby install.
20:07 trinque the vast majority of websites out there should be this
20:07 mircea_popescu if disks are gonna fill with rubbish, i want it to be my meaningless rubbish, not theirs.
20:07 shinohai ruby is just as useless as java
20:07 trinque how often do you publish vs read
20:08 mircea_popescu trinque ill confess about quarterly i get an itch to convert trilema
20:08 trinque people "MVC", then it's memcached this and redis that
20:08 trinque mircea_popescu: I bet, perfect example
20:10 mircea_popescu re that "academic" link earlier : wtf is WRONG with these people. i can not see a date onthe page.
20:10 mircea_popescu what is the point of even fucking existing if one's going to be this dumb ?
20:10 mircea_popescu what, they've not invented dating in their culture ? what is this, polinesia online ?
20:10 kakobrekla i dont see why save all html files beforehand if you can just dumpblock on the fly, its a stupid operations it gets done fast.
20:11 mircea_popescu fucking sumerians had it, it's not even european.
20:11 kakobrekla its not like you are querying for abalance of an address.
20:12 mircea_popescu kakobrekla you know nothing prevents you from doing even the balance, in plain html.
20:13 mircea_popescu suppose you accept a new block. now you do 1) list it in /blocks/ ; 2) iterate over all the txn it includes, list them in /txn/ ; 3) iterate over all addresses included, add and substract from /addresses/address.html
20:13 mircea_popescu presto.
20:13 kakobrekla well you will end up with 100gigs+ db or so. or unusably slow.
20:13 mircea_popescu you end up with a pile of html files that would conceivably be smaller than the blockchain (no sigs)
20:15 mircea_popescu (or larger, of course - html mark-up. but anyway)
20:15 kakobrekla keeping all the balance for all the addresses wont be that small.
20:15 mircea_popescu the balance of any address is a longint.
20:16 kakobrekla number of tx * avg number of in/outputs = ?
20:17 mircea_popescu you can trivially opt to "only list txn over X".
20:17 mircea_popescu update the balance, but not list the txn.
20:18 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-08-2015#1221499 << what "her" fucking choice ? since when it's her choice, have we EVER even seen a documented case of a female attacker ?

20:40 gernika I guess I get to get more practice installing gentoo :)
20:40 mircea_popescu you could just rebuild for your platform.
20:40 mircea_popescu very few people still use 32bit, might be interesting test case.
20:40 gernika I'll give that a shot
20:40 mircea_popescu i dunno that any of the currently standing nodes are on 32 bit platforms
