17:39 phf one way it might help with ascii's problem specifically though is that your client will patiently wait for ascii's node, even though there might be periods of time where it would otherwise be completely unresponsive.
17:43 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
17:43 phf -connect based nodes in large avoid this problems because there's a mainloop that keeps adding same -connect supplied addresses over and over again, so even if elsewhere it's decided to drop the node, it'll be added and reconnected again on the next iteration. never the less a connect node can still be banned for misbehaving, which is something that his patch prevents from happening

17:45 punkman you could make bans on "trusted" nodes expire sooner
17:45 ascii_field waste of time.
17:47 phf punkman: that specific loop can be closed much easier by checking for -connect during misbehave report and bailing
17:47 ascii_field phf: all this will do is that you will waste cpu cycles on peers who are getting packetdropped by usg
17:48 ascii_field (all of the mitm against my nodes has taken the form of vaguely plausibly-deniable packet dropping and delay)
17:48 ascii_field strategic, incidentally, in that it did not trigger 'misbehave' listing on my end
17:50 phf misbehave is only triggered when counterparty sends malformed, but still recognisable packets, so that would be a much more noticeable attack
17:51 ascii_field http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-09-2015#1284966 << headers-only sync is not sync. the phoundation client is not a bitcoin implementation and hasn't been for ages. on the other hand, a box that takes 3 weeks to sync FROM EATBLOCK ON DISK has something seriously wrong with it.

17:51 ascii_field get a real computer somewhere ?
17:52 phf where's packet dropping and delay results in a no-consequences disconnect, similar to that "no activity in first 60 seconds"
17:52 ascii_field aha
17:52 ascii_field and, importantly, wasted time
17:52 ascii_field as no useful activity can take place while this hangs
17:52 ascii_field because the whole thing was written by the profoundly retarded
17:54 phf well, the patch gives special status to ips that were explicitly provided. if you're being mitm'd, your only recourse is operator intervention, the goal of the patch was to ensure that your recourse does not automatically become "use random shmoe"
17:55 ascii_field the correct recourse is crypto.
17:55 ascii_field and for 'trusted' peers, in the above sense, to be ones where all comms in both directions are authenticated.

17:57 ascii_field mircea_popescu once alluded to a dirty ad-hoc implementation of this by chinese operators, where nodes had vpn links to one another
17:57 gernika ascii_field Thought it was real - 32 GB ecc ram, opteron 4226.
17:57 ascii_field but that is not an adult answer.
17:58 ascii_field gernika: and you were syncing from what?
17:58 ascii_field as in, where did the blocks fed to 'eatblock' come from ?
17:59 gernika both yours and mp's nodes.
17:59 ascii_field in real time ?
17:59 ascii_field i am asking ~specifically~ how the thing was put together
18:00 ascii_field the correct way to use eatblock is with dumpblock coming from an already synced LOCAL node.
18:00 ascii_field this does NOT take 3 weeks on my hardware.
18:00 ascii_field more like 3 days.
18:02 gernika Right. So I made it to 368xxx and got stuck on the large block syncing from one of your nodes over the network. I then (probably) had a bad shutdown and corrupted the db. I then used eatblock to sync from what I had on disk up to that point.
18:03 ascii_field stuck?
18:03 ascii_field as in, didn't have the bdb locks fix patch applied ?
18:03 gernika wedged - due to not having the patch yes
18:03 ascii_field then burn the whole thing & start over
18:03 ascii_field srsly
18:04 ascii_field let me guess, of the 3 weeks, most of the time was spent wedged ?
18:05 gernika The node was not on the network, it was just eating from disk. It did not appear wedged, just processing one block after another.
18:06 ascii_field but was the entire blockchain already present on disk to be eaten?
18:06 ascii_field what i am asking is, did it at any point spend time waiting for an edible block to appear on disk.
18:09 gernika Yes it did. I did not dump all.dat files at once. I would dump one, eat through it (in about 24 hours), then dump the next.
18:10 ascii_field how much time spent on the dumps ?
18:10 ascii_field (as distinct from the eating)

21:25 mircea_popescu do tell ?

21:27 mod6 one possibility to publish releases in the future now that we have V is to create a manifest of V patches and have the co-chairs sign the manifest, as well as the patches.

22:01 mircea_popescu he wants to pretend he's sorta kinda like me, were i to exist (which i don't, OOOOBVIOUSLY). so...
22:02 asciilifeform ;;later tell mod6 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-09-2015#1285169 << the way i suggested doing it is to avoid having multiple classes of signed objects. manifest for a release would be merely another kind of patch - one that simply takes every leaf that is to form part of the release head, and add a comment to the top of the file, 'REL-xxx.' this auto-gloms the leaves into a single patch 'handle', think about it.
22:02 assbot Logged on 25-09-2015 01:27:12; mod6: one possibility to publish releases in the future now that we have V is to create a manifest of V patches and have the co-chairs sign the manifest, as well as the patches.
22:02 gribble The operation succeeded.
22:02 asciilifeform ;;later tell mod6 after this, anyone who wants to build THAT release merely needs to 'grab' ~that~ patch and 'v' does the rest.
22:02 gribble The operation succeeded.
22:03 asciilifeform this property of a system is called 'orthogonality'
22:03 asciilifeform it is the thing children like about 'lego'
22:03 Pierre_Rochard BingoBoingo: rent wasn’t actually that much, ~3 people’s salaries. Employed ~70 people
22:03 asciilifeform there is precisely 1 kind of thing.
22:03 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i thought he just meant signing patches.
22:03 BingoBoingo Pierre_Rochard: Interesting. I would have thought nice place downtown in the cool area would have cost more.
22:03 mod6 asciilifeform: hey, thanks for your input/thoughts there.
22:04 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: as i understood it, he was speaking of signing manifests
22:04 asciilifeform but this way, a release is simply a vpatch that adds a 'this is part of such-and-such release' comment to a set of files in such a way that the desired leaves are brought into the release.
22:04 mircea_popescu no, just make a special patch (for historical reasons called a manifest) that does exactly what you describe
22:04 asciilifeform then yes.
22:04 mircea_popescu well it's what i read anyway.
22:05 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo you don't understand. it's not the place that's cheap
22:05 asciilifeform this way, no one who wants to get a release ever needs to do anything but ordinary operation of 'v'.
22:05 mircea_popescu it's dumbass "employees" doing nothing that are EXPENSIVE
22:05 Pierre_Rochard ^^^ that
22:05 asciilifeform no screwing with pgp separately, no untarring, etc.
22:05 mircea_popescu could have had a stable of indians doing the same job for 1.5% of the cost and 0.0x% of the liabilities.
22:06 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: perhaps they had a stable of indians also
22:06 mod6 right, i want the sync mech to work inside of the bounds of V.
22:06 mircea_popescu asciilifeform perhaps they fucked madonna as well.
22:06 mircea_popescu what's it do for them ?
22:06 Pierre_Rochard asciilifeform: no indians, a few argentinians (great devs fwiw)
22:06 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it is actually very common in usa software shops. indians produce mountain of horror, and then a handful of other people - clean it
22:06 mircea_popescu yeah, great devs.
22:07 mircea_popescu they sit around and talk a splendid talk.

22:08 mircea_popescu except no big tits, no nude at home, and no eating dogfood. just, derpage and pretense.
22:08 asciilifeform i confess to having wondered if anyone in .ar writes software
22:09 mod6 ok so. release vpatch would be creating a new vertex that has edges coming from the current leafs.
22:09 mircea_popescu they mostly like to write ~about~ things.
22:09 mod6 am I understanding that correctly?
22:09 asciilifeform mod6: correct

22:09 asciilifeform one point by which you 'lift' the whole mess.
22:10 mircea_popescu Pierre_Rochard yes, there are some passible webdevs in argentina.
22:10 mod6 sure, makes sense
22:10 mod6 appreciate the input here, im gonna ponder this for a bit.
