03:52 crtdaydreams shinohai: rip
03:53 crtdaydreams betcha SBF d00d has a few satoshis stashed away
03:53 crtdaydreams "oh noes, am worth -$14.2 bil overnight" "anyways"
03:55 * crtdaydreams proceeds to embark on USG funded ~~vacation~~ 'business trip' to the bahamas 16 mo from now
03:56 crtdaydreams either that or like all other shitcoinistas before him; scrubbed off the map entirely
~ 4 hours 15 minutes ~
08:12 shinohai http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-10#1015850 << Hey at least "Almadea research" researched how to keep the plates spinning for *this* long. Too bad that also didn't include how to dump your shit on another "major" exchange.

11:20 billymg $ticker btc usd
11:20 busybot Current BTC price in USD: $17750.2
11:20 billymg according to my chart lines it needs to go above $18.6k and stay there to be out of the woods
~ 15 minutes ~
11:35 * shinohai has no chart lines, performs coin divination by tossing pickup stix on the floor .....
11:39 billymg place ipad with btc chart on table, toss pickup stix on ipad. now you've got chart lines!
11:51 asciilifeform meanwhile: signpost , awt , jonsykkel , phf, billymg , et al : preview of 0xfa. a number of sections not done, and prolly over9000 typos but fwiw.
11:51 * asciilifeform will include the html ver. once finished and vpatch
~ 41 minutes ~
12:33 billymg asciilifeform: nice!
12:46 asciilifeform comments/bugreports invited.
12:48 signpost reading now. the diagrams look very nice. will indeed look great on dead tree when appropriate.
12:48 asciilifeform over9000 things missing (some marked, some not). e.g. not has illustration of chain mechanics (where notion is, in a gui client not need to 'detect forks', simply draw arrows to follow selfchain)
12:49 asciilifeform in re new moving parts -- introduced 'multipart' message mark (in such way as back-compat. with existing pestrons)
12:49 asciilifeform addrcast revised to burn less cpu (only attempt decode if originator handle matches a cold peer, given as is meaningless anyway if not in prev. spec)
12:50 asciilifeform 'inv' msg introduced (for use when folx start using netchain for threaded replies, and can no longer rely on netchain to represent 'tip' of conversation)
12:50 asciilifeform 'binary' msg type for eventual use w/ signpost's lubytron.
12:51 asciilifeform just about errything else -- similar to previous, but organized in moar logical way so to be readable
12:51 asciilifeform all discussion of 'forks' nixed, imho is job for frontend of client
12:51 asciilifeform ditto reordering/interning of messages
12:55 asciilifeform the 1 major change -- nomoar buffers, all valid msgs of the 'chained' (i.e. loggable) type go straight to db
12:55 asciilifeform (if arrive outta order -- not problem in graphical frontend )
12:56 asciilifeform ditto if copies with lower bounce (incl. immediates) recvd.
12:56 asciilifeform (updates log)
12:56 asciilifeform i.e. most annoyingly gnarly, imho, piece of old spec -- vanished
12:57 signpost glad to see UI implementation detail backflow dropped from the spec, yup.
12:57 asciilifeform the 1 case where makes sense to 'sit on' a message is where bounce > lowest_historical(speaker). still need to stuff that into sect. 5.
12:58 asciilifeform (generally one wants to propagate with min-bounce when possible, otherwise msg can run along longer-than-req'd path and end up cut off prematurely by max-bounce somewhere)
12:59 signpost having my wife read too because I'm curious what an educated (semi-)nontechnical takes from it.
12:59 asciilifeform in 5.4.10.5 , 'port hammering' introduced. (may need massage)
12:59 signpost at least the first few sections
12:59 asciilifeform signpost: nifty. asciilifeform fed sect1 to pet, similarly
13:05 asciilifeform 1 remaining q is wat to do with malformed msgs that are pointed to by a chain. (current text: 'discard') but potentially results in infinite fetches via getdata. prolly oughta store'em but mark 'broken heart' to not display in console
13:06 asciilifeform (malformed -- not 'martian' but break some rule, e.g. invalid utf, or circular chain, or direct but bounce not zero, or 1 of several dozen other boojums)
13:07 asciilifeform ideally nobody will send these but can't be ruled out, so gotta handle'em.
13:08 asciilifeform iirc phf pointed out this gotcha in old days when 'gossip' etc discussed
13:09 signpost seems useful to surface these so bugs are immediately obvious to users.
13:10 signpost orphanage log or something
13:12 asciilifeform well, same log, but with flag 'not goes to console'
13:13 asciilifeform (ideally would show as specially-marked turd in gui, show hexdump if clicked or somesuch)
13:13 asciilifeform at some pt there likely will be pestnets with multitude of not necessarily 100% compat. clients; then will be useful
13:14 asciilifeform the important part is to gracefully handle malformed msgs, in particular -- not to infinitely attempt to getdata'em
13:15 signpost asciilifeform: wife points out "adddressless" typo in 1.7 paragraph 2
13:15 signpost and yup, makes sense
13:15 asciilifeform signpost: ty. prolly over9000 typos, asciilifeform not yet made any attempt to comb for'em
13:15 signpost nbd
13:15 asciilifeform broken links, too, likely

13:39 shinohai "Tether reportedly begins freezing $USDT addresses owned by FTX at the request of law enforcement" <<< LMAO!
13:42 asciilifeform next yr: 'blather begins freezing tether addrs at req of lol enforcement'
13:45 asciilifeform $ticker btc usd

14:10 billymg guys, he's sorry! https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX/status/1590709166515310593
14:11 asciilifeform iirc karpeles also 'was sorry'(tm)
14:16 signpost asciilifeform: what brings in the 0xF after N in chained multipart msgs? byte alignment?
14:17 asciilifeform signpost: 'Of' rather than 0f
14:17 asciilifeform click the link, it's a named field
14:17 signpost oh derp
14:17 asciilifeform lol
14:17 signpost 3 of 10 etc
14:17 asciilifeform aha
14:18 * signpost shakes face, continues
14:18 asciilifeform (4.2.2.8)
14:31 signpost close paren possibly misplaced in 5.4.5.3
14:31 asciilifeform indeed, ty signpost
14:45 signpost the spec is beautiful, very clear.
14:45 * signpost will want to get his hands into his own implementation at some point after his encoder's done
14:46 asciilifeform ty signpost . imho could be made clearer, still needs (in addition to the obv. missing chapters) pseudocoad algos for msg eating/shitting etc, illustration of chain mechanics, coupla other things
14:46 asciilifeform a naive reader may not immed. understand why messages are chained, and why some but not others, for instance
14:47 signpost looking forward to when the spec itself can sit in asciilifeform's chain of messages, either as multipart message or hash-reference to pdf.
14:47 signpost yup. that said my wife was able to explain to me why this was better than signal, so that's pretty cool.
14:47 asciilifeform neat
14:47 signpost written as is. and she doesn't code, though obviously listens to me discuss it all the time.

15:16 jonsykkel nice will read
15:17 jonsykkel ohw does one generate circular chain without breaking sha257
15:19 asciilifeform jonsykkel: can't presently think of a way
