01:56 BingoBoingo How do you get statistics without Algebra?
01:57 phf "It could, for example, teach students how the Consumer Price Index is computed, what is included and how each item in the index is weighted — and include discussion about which items should be included and what weights they should be given."
01:58 phf "I hope that mathematics departments can also create courses in the history and philosophy of their discipline, as well as its applications in early cultures. Why not mathematics in art and music — even poetry — along with its role in assorted sciences? The aim would be to treat mathematics as a liberal art, making it as accessible and welcoming as sculpture or ballet."

10:16 mircea_popescu sort-of trying to chinese cartel the electoral process, pretty much.
10:17 jurov just for the record, there are several projects built on top of llvm (cling,clang,clasp) promising C++ interpretation and easy interop with lisp. i tried to build and use these, not one succeeded and they are so behemoth so any analysis of the problem was out of the question
10:17 mircea_popescu "you can have your own opinions, but we want to move from this situation where harvard & mit lied to you about you being smart enough to resolve any real word conondrum 'if you just got the facts [as officially branded facts by harvard and mit]'" to a much more economical "you can have your own opinions just as long as they're what we say they should be".

10:53 kakobrekla yes i have seen it, nothing i can do about it.
10:53 mircea_popescu so basically, yeah bla bla, miners can force "either doublepay or never pay" dilemma, but ~not on everyone~. only on derps who, like mp, actually publish the whole story.
10:53 mircea_popescu listen kakobrekla can we modify the way bitbet works to actually satisfy this ? something like
10:53 mircea_popescu hm.
10:54 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: they can still blacklist addrs
10:54 mircea_popescu say paid out bets are published as now, but proposed bets only show first 4 chars of the address, and only first two digits of the payment. except if under 0.01 it's just replaced with D
10:54 mircea_popescu asciilifeform which ?
10:55 mircea_popescu and yes, publish a sha of the whole list as-is somewhere on page also. so people can then verify at tyhe end.
10:55 mircea_popescu tho prolly this should have a secret salt also.
10:55 mircea_popescu jesus cryptomoney is tough.
10:56 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: whichever they happen to dislike.
10:56 asciilifeform problem remains unsolved
10:56 mircea_popescu as the commenter says, this does nothing for bitcoin, merely for bitbet.
10:57 mircea_popescu of course large payments remain a problem - not so many double digit btc moving around to an address with the following 4 chars.
10:58 asciilifeform aha.

11:02 mircea_popescu no argument that it ~could~ be a so and so node. all sorts of things could be all sorts of other things. like the moon landing photos could be fake, and so on.
11:03 mircea_popescu there's no argument to be had with a could.
11:06 mircea_popescu !up sturles

11:07 mircea_popescu you have enough trust, whenever you want to speak here you should pm assbot "!up" and decrypt the dpaste.
11:07 mircea_popescu give it back to him with !v <contents>
11:07 sturles OK!
11:07 kakobrekla i asked him to join to answer the questions from qntra
11:07 kakobrekla >If you are proposing that you are actually running a node which keeps all 0-fee txn for a week plus, I very much would like to know what machine are you running, and when's the last time you realised what an incredible DoS mechanism this is.
11:07 mircea_popescu aha!
11:08 sturles I don't keep them all. Only the ones with the highest priority.-
11:08 mircea_popescu so how long is the longest you keep a txn ?
11:08 sturles I don't have a time limit.
11:08 mircea_popescu so then how does A2 have a lower priority than A1 ?
11:09 sturles Transactions are evicted by fee or priority alone.
11:09 mircea_popescu right ?
11:10 sturles It doesn't matter if A2 has higher or lower priority than A1. As long as A1 is in my mempool, a tx spending any of A1's inputs will be rejected.
11:10 fluffypony it's a davout: https://twitter.com/jonmatonis/status/705415833833619456
11:10 fluffypony and "Galvin" Andresen
11:10 mircea_popescu sturles if you keep 0fee txn without time limit, you are necessarily running on a machine with infinite ram.
11:10 mircea_popescu if there IS a time limit, what is it.
11:10 sturles Right now my mempool has: "mempoolminpriority": 142186611.6926576,
11:11 mircea_popescu and how do you calculate the priority ?
11:11 sturles Which means that every tx with priority below 142186611.6926576 will be thrown out of the priority pool, and into the fee based pool.
11:11 mircea_popescu and if it's a 0fee tx, thrown out altogether ?
11:12 sturles Standard priority calculations. size of input * age of input for all inputs, then divided by the size of the transaction.
11:12 sturles Size in bytes.
11:12 sturles Size of inputs in BTC.
11:12 mircea_popescu right. by this calculation, the tx in question would not have remained in your pool.
11:12 mircea_popescu if you recall kakobrekla at the time it was merely broadcast and "not yet included" (in the public version of the blockchain), it had a very low priority.
11:13 sturles 0 fee tx are thrown out if the priority is lower than what is required. Currently 142186611.6926576.
11:13 kakobrekla why would it have low priority?
11:13 mircea_popescu sturles this one was never 100mn.
11:14 sturles OK. I don't know anything about the tx in question. How old were the inputs?
11:14 sturles Size in BTC is in satishi. Age in number of confirmations.
11:14 sturles *satoshi
11:15 kakobrekla txid de9bc173174f5ae97e7fe0d2e171647cade189c76f9cbe48f37494c973aca2e4
11:15 mircea_popescu ^
11:16 sturles priority = sum(input_value_in_base_units * input_age)/size_in_bytes
11:17 kakobrekla and just sum the discrete inputs ages ?
11:17 mircea_popescu no, sum the product
11:18 sturles The transaction has one 3 month old input of 15.898 BTC. This alone may be enough to push the priority high enough.
11:18 kakobrekla anyway, sturles is giving us his current mempoolminpriority, which doesnt mean it was the same a week ago.
11:18 mircea_popescu yeah but for practical reasons doesn't also vary too much, or you get drowned.
11:18 mircea_popescu in any case, at the time this was discussed in the logs, the miner priority was in the 9th decile, about 16% of the global mempool.
11:19 mircea_popescu ie, 84% of txn in the mempool had a higher priority.
11:19 mircea_popescu of the ~50mb mempool, that is.
11:19 sturles Mu mempool is 1 GB with 300MB reserved for high priority..
11:20 mircea_popescu (obviously because no protocol there is no actual definition of "mempool size" other than rough consensus, but wehartevers)
11:20 sturles It isn't full now, btw.
11:20 mircea_popescu yeah, mempool is low now for some reason, across the board.
11:20 mircea_popescu since ~yesterday, fell of a cliff. who knows.
11:21 sturles There was a spam attack, which stopped.
11:21 mircea_popescu that ~could~ be the explanation, sure.
11:22 mircea_popescu for the curious, mempool was as high as 80mb during february, but recently it's ~8 or so.
11:23 mircea_popescu (recently ie, in march)
11:26 sturles Where is this number from? Mine is:
11:26 sturles "size": 41322,
11:26 sturles "bytes": 424008174,
11:26 sturles "usage": 913135280,
11:26 kakobrekla according to some; http://i.imgur.com/BdJFEc1.png
11:26 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/21K85Yz )
11:27 mircea_popescu sturles from my own nodes' estimation of what the "mempool" is currently.
11:27 mircea_popescu built on the basis of what other nodes advertise as txn
11:28 mircea_popescu kakobrekla haha is that yours ?
11:28 kakobrekla no
11:28 mircea_popescu nuts.
11:28 kakobrekla its what 'tradeblock' reports
11:30 mircea_popescu check that out, "TradeBlock serves financial institutions with execution and analysis tools that capitalize on the potential of blockchain technologies."
11:34 sturles By default Bitcoin Core will evict transactions which has been in the mempool for more than three days. A bad idea, because those will just come back from a node which had the transaction for less than three days, but since transactions paying a fee lower than the -minrelayfee threshold are throttled most low and 0-fee transactions will be kept out for most of the time. I'm sure there are an infinite amount of them..
11:35 * kakobrekla has to run bbl
11:35 mircea_popescu it's a cheap hack, made sense at the time
11:35 mircea_popescu (2010 ?)
11:36 sturles Back in 2010 there was no eviction in place. Valid transactions stayed in the mempool until mined. Various eviction strategies have been tried for the last couple of years.
11:36 mircea_popescu i don't recall when this "3 day" thing got introduced, but longer than coupla years ago i think.
11:36 mircea_popescu anyway.

11:40 mircea_popescu !up sturles
11:40 mircea_popescu anyway, if you're curious, what trb is contemplating to eventually do is a ring buffer with a per-kb fee only as the criteria.
11:40 mircea_popescu been discussed a coupla times in the logs.
11:44 sturles 0.12 does eviction based on fee/kB. When the mempool is full, a large share (half?) of the transaction will get evicted and a minimum fee ratio to get included will be set.
11:44 mircea_popescu yea, but none of the elegance of a ring buffer
11:44 mircea_popescu also miserably implemented, but then again it is prb.
11:45 sturles There is no priority included in the calculations for mempool eviction in 0.12.
11:45 mircea_popescu right, there is that part.

12:32 sturles I should change my key in #bitcoin-otc to the sturle@bitmynt.no key..
12:32 asciilifeform btw mircea_popescu the gentoo was tested on a x60 tp.
12:32 asciilifeform which is now very happy.
12:32 sturles It knows about the fee rate of the children of unconfirmed transactions.
12:32 sturles Helps for child-pays-for-parent in mining.
12:32 mircea_popescu oh ffs.
12:33 asciilifeform sturles: holy fuck, do you understand how a tx that is not linkable to ACTUAL BLOCK is a ~work of fiction~ ??!!!
12:33 asciilifeform !s orphan tx

12:33 mircea_popescu fucking evil bs, child pays for parent, let's invent OTHER ways to import meaningless state into bitcoin and fuck it all up
12:33 sturles If a transaction pays too low fees to get included, and you spend an output of the transaction with a high fee, a miner may want to mine both.
12:34 asciilifeform sturles: you do not see the basic problem with taking a tx on faith ?
12:34 asciilifeform for whatever purpose.
12:34 mircea_popescu maybe if wot-ed nodes...
12:34 sturles People spend unconfirmed outputs all the time. Bitcoin Core even does it by itself, if the output was generated by yourself.
12:34 mircea_popescu sturles yes, and THAT IS A BUG IN PRB.
12:34 asciilifeform sturles: trb WON'T ACCEPT a tx with even ONE unconfirmed input.
12:34 asciilifeform do you know this ?
12:34 asciilifeform i did this.
12:35 asciilifeform try to understand WHY.
12:35 sturles We are not talking about orphans here, since we have the parent in the mempool.
12:35 asciilifeform if it is in the mempool, it is not a parent !
12:35 mircea_popescu this argument has some merit, but it's really contrary to bitcoin.
12:35 asciilifeform it is a fetus.
12:35 asciilifeform it might BECOME a parent, ~when it grows up~
12:35 sturles Well, you may call it a fetus. A miner can choose to give birth to both in the same block.
12:35 asciilifeform (gets in a block.)
12:36 mircea_popescu yeah, a miner might choose to do all sorts of patently idiotic shit.
12:36 mircea_popescu this is part of the problem.
12:36 asciilifeform sturles: for 'mights', go to a church.
12:36 asciilifeform trb does not deal in mights.
12:36 mircea_popescu that we allow the miners to do way too much stuff.
12:36 asciilifeform ^
12:37 sturles It is in the design. As long as the order is correct (perent before child in the block), it is accepted.
12:37 asciilifeform sturles: do you know what an ~algorithmic complexity attack~ is ?
12:37 asciilifeform allowing chained tx to operate as a unit, in a node, opens you up to one.
12:38 asciilifeform in fact this is happening EVERY MOTHERFUCKING DAY
12:38 mircea_popescu quite.
12:38 sturles Yes. It isn't verey complicated. Really. As long as A is found before B in the blockchain, the order is AB. Even if A and B are in the same block.
12:38 mircea_popescu this nonsense is not long of this world, sturles
12:39 sturles I am not saying it is the right way to do it, just that it is how it is.
12:39 mircea_popescu there's no way to write a sane specification for bitcoin that avoids saying specifically "if input tx is not found in a block, tx is invalid"
12:39 mircea_popescu yeah, some noncompliant miners are currently doing this, among many other insanities they do.
12:39 deedbot- [Trilema] Qntra (S.QNTR) February 2016 Statement - http://trilema.com/2016/qntra-sqntr-february-2016-statement/
12:39 asciilifeform sturles: it is pointedly NOT 'how it is' in trb.
12:39 asciilifeform i killed this idiocy with my own hands.
12:39 mircea_popescu no argument there. but it is not ok merely because some idiots do it atm.
12:39 asciilifeform and it's staying dead.
12:40 asciilifeform the miners are free to collect clumps of tx off the street and find, at their own idiot expense, validly linked chains thereof.
12:40 asciilifeform but they do not HAVE to.
12:40 asciilifeform they are doing this for no particularly good reason.
12:41 asciilifeform could far more easily declare, as trb does, 'tx is only valid if inputs are confirmed in existing block.'
12:42 asciilifeform and it would have been proper for the protocol to forbid the lunacy by proclaiming that a tx cannot rely on inputs IN SAME BLOCK AS IT.
12:42 asciilifeform but this was not done, because satoshi smoked dope.
12:42 mircea_popescu not too late for that, either.
12:43 asciilifeform this is called a complexity vulnerability, and presently i search for these, elsewhere and far away, for a living.
12:46 sturles It isn't that complex. The uxto set is updated as the block is parsed. The inputs of the sibling will be in the utxo set when it gets to it. It only makes some optimizations somewhat harder.
12:47 asciilifeform sturles: you do not know what computational complexity refers to ??!
12:47 asciilifeform 'it isn't the complex' !?!?!!
12:48 asciilifeform that is a thing that one can say about an algo now ?!
12:48 asciilifeform now i am tempted to say to client, when he asks for theta, 'it isn't that complex'
12:50 mircea_popescu eh simmer down eh
12:50 sturles Yes, and I don't think this is much more complex than requiring each utxo to be in a different block than the one it is spent from.
13:00 asciilifeform !up sturles
13:03 asciilifeform see, requiring inputs-in-old-blocks makes verification O(1).

13:05 sturles If the sibling is _after_ the parent in the block, the block is invalid.
13:06 asciilifeform sturles: how does your node decide if a tx is to be relayed ?

13:06 sturles I use normal rules for relaying transactions.
13:07 asciilifeform what does this mean ?
13:08 sturles I haven't looked closely at the code. My node behaves like any other node would. Except it keeps a part of the mempool protected from fee based eviction based on priority.

20:24 mircea_popescu nono, that's different
20:24 BingoBoingo i.e. Let Trump win a plurality but not majority of delegates
20:25 BingoBoingo Oh
20:25 mircea_popescu anyway, trump got 7, next ghuy what, 3 ? 4 ? it's all over. i hope to hell he a) fails to get enough delegates and then b) spits in their faces re "brokered convention" and then c) starts his OWN party on pretty much a platform of "fuck the republicans and what are these democrats supposed to even be ?"
20:26 mircea_popescu ideally the republican party should end by being spit in the face by "an outlier" and never recovering from it. best thing for them.
20:26 * mircea_popescu is wishing trump the most mp-esque of fates.
20:27 BingoBoingo Well, the writing's on the wall for that except for the part about such a fate being MP-esque, I mean Donald Trump-Clinton is a serial scammer.
20:27 mircea_popescu sadly.
20:27 mircea_popescu but for a better man, the correct strategy is exactly this.
20:27 mircea_popescu besides, the us is just about ripe for a peron of its own
20:28 mircea_popescu gotta become the argentina it always was, deep down.
20:28 mircea_popescu what's the ivanka v2's name, evita trump what ?
20:29 BingoBoingo This is really the fatal flaw in the whole voting business. All politicans get habituated to lying, scamming, and under delivering but these these outsiders like Donald Trump-Clinton beat them at their game because they practiced those things without the rest of the circle jerk more openly and more criminally.

20:31 mircea_popescu and that only because it abstains from discussing the economy.
20:32 * BingoBoingo would just prefer a more honest wrecker to do the parting
20:33 mircea_popescu and speaking of the us and its future - so macri's been in power for a few weeks now, the peronistas (ie, criminal-socialist party) kept hewing and hawing about how they'll bring the street power to bear. today they finally called out a demonstration, it was on all the news outlet. deeply zoomed in, it looked almost like a thing. but zoomed out, it was ~50 to 100 people in a yellow box "blocking traffic". all the plaza
20:33 mircea_popescu de mayo wide the fuck open, more police than protestors, 50 miles of fence and 300 yards of protestor perimeter.
20:33 mircea_popescu an utter humiliation, i have no idea why the fuck they even did it. but it's quite clear that without the cona house they got ~nothing.
20:35 mircea_popescu so macri's here to stay, and the country's definitely going on sale. staples prices already up ~50 to maybe 100%, salaries frozen, all bureaucrats discussing in hushed tones their fears of which jobs will be cut... it's a pleasure.
20:35 mircea_popescu i hope they all fucking starve.
20:35 mircea_popescu oh wait, they sold the corn earlier. they're definitely starving.
20:36 BingoBoingo lol
20:37 * BingoBoingo wondering if much of the US is even planting corn this year
20:37 mircea_popescu well the us has the advantage that the people contain enough food for ~decade, give or take.
20:37 mircea_popescu they can just redistribute the fat.
20:40 mircea_popescu and besides, since they ended canada's oil boom with their inept russian embargo shenanigans, the great farmland to the north can get back to agriculture. great obama-hruschev common single planning organ success!

21:32 mircea_popescu asciilifeform obviously you could take as many pics as payers. but in spite of the ridoinculousness, the nonsense provably works.
21:33 asciilifeform provably?
21:33 asciilifeform how

21:43 pete_dushenski http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-03-2016#1421360 << recently learned that 'freres de lait' shared wet nurse.

21:44 asciilifeform so you send a privkey. recipient does what?
21:45 asciilifeform now you gotta transact ~twice~
21:45 pete_dushenski asciilifeform: user can't send tx because blackholed for using verboten tmsr service, let's say. user exports privkey from wallet, imports to bc.info, sends coins to new wallet and continues on his merry way.
21:45 asciilifeform once to fill up the addr
21:45 asciilifeform and now also he had to empty it.
21:46 pete_dushenski issues may arise if coins are sent to 'wiped' address on throw-away bc.info wallet. thus, my response
21:46 asciilifeform no, think
21:47 asciilifeform say you happened to have addr with x btc just lying around. you pay me by sending its privk.
21:47 asciilifeform now ~i~ want to spend.
21:48 asciilifeform what, i send key again to next dest?!
21:48 asciilifeform creating ~3~ wallets with identical key?!!
21:48 pete_dushenski i must be thick
21:48 asciilifeform and 3 folks who can spend it.
21:49 asciilifeform even by accident
21:49 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: think about why we even have bitcoin?
21:49 asciilifeform instead of just saying 'i own this integer'
21:50 pete_dushenski http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-03-2016#1420598
21:50 assbot Logged on 02-03-2016 22:56:04; pete_dushenski: if i may summarise the last 24 hours of logs, which i must say were eminently enjoyable save the lack of practical recourse discussed : bitcoin remains the world's worst payment network... except for all the others. and even still, not by much.
21:50 mircea_popescu take it the other way, pete_dushenski
21:50 asciilifeform do you recall the ancient derpage where folks sold accounts?
21:51 asciilifeform or how mtgox was sold.
21:51 mircea_popescu so you meet a shady guy in a bar, and he shows you an address with 10 btc in it, and gives you the privkey in exchange of taking the lady in the back alley half-n-half.
21:51 mircea_popescu the lady side aside, do you think this is a sensible deal ?
21:51 pete_dushenski no, because he can have copies of privkey
21:51 mircea_popescu so then.
21:52 pete_dushenski but if no more coins are sent to the shared privkey, then all's kosher, neh ?
21:52 mircea_popescu how is it kosher ?
21:53 mircea_popescu it's not kosher, it's a race as to who can spend first, and you're hoping the lady's good enough to keep him busy long enough for you to get to a wifi ?
21:53 deedbot- [Trilema] MPIF (F.MPIF) February 2016 Statement - http://trilema.com/2016/mpif-fmpif-february-2016-statement/
21:53 mircea_popescu which i suppose works ok in this extemporaneous prostitution scenario, but pretty much nowhere else.
21:53 pete_dushenski because it's then a throwaway intermediary. and yes, hoping that bc.info doesn't spend same coins in same 10 minutes is the risk.
21:53 asciilifeform generally, situation where 2+ people each have full control of a prvkey, is a deadly failure
21:53 pete_dushenski it's. 10. minutes.
21:53 asciilifeform like short circuit in electronics.
21:54 pete_dushenski after that, one hopes, no more.
21:54 mircea_popescu well... what happens if the tx is not included in a block ?
21:54 pete_dushenski i'm not advocating regular use of webwallets here
21:54 mircea_popescu or, better yet, broadcast but "not seen", magically ?
21:54 mircea_popescu by "the network", of course.
21:54 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: what 10min?! whatever kept you from transacting like normal people, will keep you from moving the 'temporary' coinz
21:55 punkman where the hell does bc.info come in and why
21:55 pete_dushenski then bc.info has miners who prioritise their txen ?
21:55 asciilifeform this whole thing is 'ukranian space program' - 'we'll fly to the sun! at night!'
21:55 pete_dushenski l0l
21:56 pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: then user is fucked because he's now shared privkeys and ~still~ has no way of transacting lol
21:56 pete_dushenski punkman: just a place to import privkeys
21:56 pete_dushenski one that seems to get tx included in blocks, i might add
21:57 punkman pete_dushenski: I read the blog post, didn't make sense
21:57 pete_dushenski just my experience
21:57 mircea_popescu basically, the most charitable read of the thing i can come up with is, "if you find your own wallet unable to transact - try move the privkey to a webwallet, maybe it works there".
21:57 mircea_popescu that much... i guess may make sense, maybe.
21:57 punkman sure
21:58 punkman but stuck coinz don't get unstuck because you moved priv keys
21:58 mircea_popescu no, but you can now bitch at vc derps and post on reddit.
21:58 asciilifeform let hitler try spendng for you! ahaha lol
21:58 mircea_popescu asciilifeform somethinglike that. given that his guide announces itself as "opportunistic smalltimer defense", it's not necessarily wrong.
21:58 pete_dushenski punkman: i wouldn't have thought so either
21:59 asciilifeform before long, there will be special magick services that will help you spend...
