03:24 davout http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-12#1626089 <<< this would be pretty cool, is also correct way to testnet

10:44 a111 Logged on 2017-03-12 01:58 ben_vulpes: anyways, having thought about "testing" trb, i am interested to hear what kinds of tests framedragger would write
10:44 Framedragger agree with mircea_popescu re fuzzing any inputs (primarily transactions)
10:45 Framedragger would be interesting to set up shitty-network-failure scenarios to see how 'antifragile' it is with regards to syncing up.
10:45 Framedragger this would require a decently thought out testing framework (i don't mean shitty-web-framework, just, a systematized approach)
10:47 Framedragger this would be decently-demanding undertaking though, so makes sense to start from simpler unit tests which e.g. simply check if hash/signature checking routines work well. would still be handy for regression testing during development / when code is added, etc.
10:47 mircea_popescu yeah a blockchain-and-mempool testing harness would be a mighty fine item to have.
10:49 Framedragger probably worth thinking about it more, it'd be quite a spiffy thing indeed... that said, i have a more general concern with time-sunk-cost-to-trb. i do wonder how realistic it is to expect a trb-i in the years to come. if it is, then working on shitty legacy trb codebase is opportunity cost par excellence :( ; but, maybe testing harness could be generic enough to be easily re-usable.
10:50 mircea_popescu it's not just the direct effect ("generic enough to be re-usable"). much more important are the second order effects. (if you never went to school, you'd never even HAVE KNOWN what computers are, and consequently...) sort of thing.
10:50 mircea_popescu it is a very false idea that what we say here "is in the open" and thereby "anyone could" etc. the prb devs can't, notwithstanding their own delusions of information and ability.
10:51 mircea_popescu goes right into the whole http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-11#1625397
10:51 a111 Logged on 2017-03-11 14:39 mircea_popescu: you ever go to school ? what usually happens there's a chick there that's really good pre-puberty. then she starts bleeding, and she skips some classes / homeworks / attentionpaying. and then... she can never catch back up again. because interlocking.
10:51 Framedragger i see what you mean - knowledge gained on the problem space, processes with dealing with problems and researching this domain developed, etc.
10:52 mircea_popescu yeah.
10:53 mircea_popescu and the product of this ("obviousness") is reallyt the lest fungible item there is.

15:19 asciilifeform i made the mistake of editing the text on a crapple shitintosh
15:19 asciilifeform it shat orc glyphs into the ascii.
15:21 Framedragger i really admire the amount of effort you took to carefully spell out ways of auditing the thing
15:21 Framedragger ^ should be gold standard for hw vendors for all i know
15:21 asciilifeform Framedragger: these are just basic tests. and distinct from the proper audit described in earlier text
15:21 asciilifeform where you actually determine that the cpld follows the claimed logic.
15:21 Framedragger asciilifeform: i understand, but i mean the *detail*, etc. - it's a nice manual with everything spelled out for the user
15:22 Framedragger right, right.
15:22 asciilifeform Framedragger: the auditability is the entire point of FUCKGOATS.
15:22 asciilifeform and distinguishes it from literally every other rng in existence .
15:25 Framedragger yes yes i understand, the cherry on top is that you make sure it's also *easy*.

21:33 mircea_popescu it's the context, not the substance, that controls here.
21:33 asciilifeform 'hissy fit' was about something entirely else ?
