assbot: Governor: Puerto Rico near 'death spiral' - NBC-2.com WBBH News for Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples, Florida ... ( http://bit.ly/1g4CkH8 )
asciilifeform: if kim jong un had balls, perhaps he'd buy it.
trinque: all that guy wants to do is drink hennesy and fuck bitches.
asciilifeform: to be fair, pretty much everything we know about him comes from south kr (read: usg) mediatrons
decimation: lolz as if puerto rico was anything other than a vassal of usg
decimation: they can go into infinite usd debt
asciilifeform: (e.g., the 'uncle fed to dogs' has since been seen, the gurlphriend beheaded for starring in pr0n has been appearing in public, the footballists 'shot for losing' are playing today...)
asciilifeform: decimation: yes, can go into infinite debt; while usg uses the island for bomb practice

asciilifeform: anyone for whom this question is a routine matter really ought to own the book
asciilifeform: (mentioned earlier today)
mats: ive been studying asm for months and i still feel as lost as my first day
asciilifeform: mats: the only cure is to not only read but write
asciilifeform: and experiment
mats: like there's a superset of knowledge i'm missing
asciilifeform: there are at least two sub-fields here - how the machine is put together; and, what idioms are common (i.e. what does a particular compiler crap out and why?)
mats: alright
asciilifeform: mats: some of the more interesting aspects are, as always, corner cases. e.g., how does x86-64 treat self-modifying code? how does this impact cache? can unpriv. ('ring 3') code learn cache state? (to some extent - always!) etc.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181553 << yes, there will be plenty of 'work' to be had there, re-converting the island back into a u.s. bordello as it was in batista's time; 'privatizing' and demolishing the spiffiest pharama plants in the western hemisphere; shipping the best doctors to drive cabs in nyc; etc
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 04:12:09; decimation: the only people who 'do work' are cubans who are gonna move back when castro is kaput
asciilifeform: i'm not certain that there ever was a ~less~ sympathetic bunch of dekulakized folks than the cuban 'refugees' in usa
asciilifeform: (by some versions, these are the people who gave us... bush II)
asciilifeform: hard to picture a sorrier bunch of bitter schmucks, eagerly taking it up the arse from history's biggest and most obscene communist mega-empire (usg) to spite their little piss-ant one
mod6 is still going on this thing.

decimation: punkman: what if the referendum were for ending the popular vote?
mats: lol
decimation: I would vote for it
mats: i would question reality if this came to pass
Vexual: you may have to
decimation: mats: to believe it wouldn't pass is to believe that the voter places his own interest above that of the group
decimation: which defeats the point of asking individuals to make a decision for the group

mod6: huh, now i have one chain that has 2 that match and one that differs: f7ab989febce649e49f8373f1c5a5fbd44008dd21eaf16ce0d1b73e1070421f0 blk0008.dat && b1d0da3ff6b2b2d6da096f06cf7359ca98e08490ab61202f94468587f51aaee5 blk0008.dat
decimation: no, but you could antimate a node, peer with it, force it to shit out
asciilifeform: mod6: differs ~while being complete~ ?
mod6: and all 3 of my blk0009.dat's do not match
asciilifeform: that is, the differing files are followed by another ?
asciilifeform: (because if sync is not complete, then naturally last blk**** will differ)
decimation: yeah if it's the last file, it's incomplete
mod6: these were fully sync'd up to ~320`000 blocks or so. they were shutdown after full sync was achieved. each goes upto like blk0017.dat
mod6: fa97f9f51bd130758910563ad7976014736b8b8ec021ed9f5dbc3c4b87d3703a blk0009.dat | 2f7acbd7b5603a845a5d380ffb6ff3be051ab8b192ae143b0916a07564d5cbc5 blk0009.dat | 1631edac873633135b9eb9b8214d6d2b30d708d00ec4dd1db6a9bf09f384551b blk0009.dat
decimation: mine stops at blk0008.dat
mod6: on a fully sync'd node?
mod6: whats the full size of your blockchain? mine's like ... ~38Gb
mod6: 82397e804874de4709faa07515f6bedbeaa4b1cdc49846b96742bba925bad1cb blk0010.dat | d2bf09e41b6177d6f44a5b7983954c647ac2c983ac39af2e159261e8737f4662 blk0010.dat | baa5bbcdb388d707398d00de95df8d3c5d98d716842d1eea7ea51f3d4ed40695 blk0010.dat
mod6: seems to diverge for me starting with blk0008.dat

asciilifeform: ^^^ from my box circa 2013 !
mod6: huh. yours dont match ours or mps
asciilifeform: with ecc ram, no less
asciilifeform: and raid5
asciilifeform: (the latter with nightly parity checks!)
decimation: with orphans?
asciilifeform: almost certainly
asciilifeform: (for the same reason as mircea_popescu's)
asciilifeform: they were moved from an earlier disk, where the thing was going from late 2010
asciilifeform observes that the 'eater' has completed blk0001
asciilifeform: is presently past 189070
asciilifeform: anomaly has not recurred yet
asciilifeform: (but is not expected for a while)
asciilifeform: sha256(blk0001.dat) is equal to the expected value.
asciilifeform: (on the 'eater' node)

asciilifeform: mod6: where are the 3rd items in these triples from ?
asciilifeform: anything peculiar about that node ?

mod6: so one of them seems to be more screwed up than the others. but there were blocks like blk0009.dat & 10 where all were different.
mod6: one was done in january, one in february, and one in march.
mod6: january was pre SSL 1.0.1g
asciilifeform: this is probably when i say that it will be necessary to walk the blocks.
asciilifeform: and compare individual ones
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11300 @ 0.00046595 = 5.2652 BTC [+]
mod6: yeah, totally agree.
mod6: im suprised they diverged that much.
mod6: i would have though with all the same version (pretty much) that they would have all been the same hashes.
asciilifeform: ~recent~ syncs diverging is almost certainly a product of enemy fire
mod6: glad I looked at that
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 64550 @ 0.00048971 = 31.6108 BTC [+] {3}
decimation: yeah, gotta take it block by block
decimation: the question is, how do we make a portable tool to suck blocks from bitcoin nodes?
decimation: something that parses .dat files?
asciilifeform: decimation: one way is what i'm doing
asciilifeform: but it's a bit slow
decimation: yes true
asciilifeform: there is a python thing floating around, iirc
asciilifeform: can try that.
asciilifeform: alternatively, write own (format is pretty simple)
mod6: yah, there's asciilifeform's way, and there's that python thing
asciilifeform: alternatively wait for me, but i'm up to my ears in backlog of work
asciilifeform: where the hell is mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: at this rate, he's gonna miss ragnarok.
asciilifeform: (then again, this ragnarok will still be there tomorrow..)
phf: fwiw dumpblock is expensive, because walks blockchain in order. a "dumpdb" that iterates over mapBlockIndex and does ReadFromDisk/<< for each block might be a reasonably fast way to split .db into separate block files
asciilifeform: phf: by far the simplest possible way is to simply walk the binary
asciilifeform: iirc, it is [mainortestchainflag][length][blockdata] repeated again and again
phf: oh, bah
asciilifeform: consult the src (linked earlier in this thread)
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 41750 @ 0.00049034 = 20.4717 BTC [+]
midnightmagic: asciilifeform: What does 'enemy fire' mean?
asciilifeform: midnightmagic: the details remain to be learned
midnightmagic: asciilifeform: Why do you call it "enemy fire" and why are you certain it is that?
asciilifeform: if you want certainty, you will have to wait.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 68100 @ 0.00049172 = 33.4861 BTC [+] {2}
decimation: midnightmagic: what do you think it means
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2014 05:22:35; kakobrekla: mircea_popescu no the question was did someone abuse the britneychain
midnightmagic: decimation: I'm not sure. That's why I'm asking.
midnightmagic: asciilifeform: I don't want certainty. I'm fine with wild speculation actually.
asciilifeform: then go, speculate.
midnightmagic: asciilifeform: Congratulations on making simple interaction so expensive.
midnightmagic: .. for literally no gain.
