ben_vulpes: wtf this was working yesterday
botneko-chan: Why all that panic about filled up backlog and slow transcations? Sent btc today with 0.0005 fee and it got 6 confirmations in 2h
ben_vulpes: there's no actual panic, botneko-chan. there are a zillion for-hire-for-pennies social media accounts supporting some nsa plants attempts to matter with kindergarten grade psyops.
ben_vulpes: phf, nevermind, i'm a classic core derp
botneko-chan: I support Core too
ben_vulpes: botneko-chan: what is Core?
botneko-chan: I mean main bitcoin dev team and so, not a forks like Classic or XT
ben_vulpes: what do the Core people think about increasing the block size?
ben_vulpes: botneko-chan: ^^
botneko-chan: I'm actually not very interested in btc politics, but in my opinion if increase block size then miners would get less profit from tx processing when there would be no new btc mined. Mining would become non-rentable and hashpower will decrease after some time then making easier for someone to get 51% just by turning on ol ASIC that was turned off because of low profit. I'm okay with current blocks and higher fees, in my o
botneko-chan: not for cents, there is need to design overlay network for faster low-fee small payment processing instead of increasing block size

cazalla: fun times :)
ben_vulpes: there's only so much damage the little fuckling can do in 485 ft2
cazalla: i am looking forward to those things again, times seems to have gone so fast with the first, one moment he can barely roll and lift his head but now it's all walkin' and talkin'
ben_vulpes: your first was a male?
cazalla: yeah, a boy named Noah, he turned 2 January just gone
ben_vulpes: pardon, i misremembered.
cazalla: all good, kids galore here these days, easy to lose track
ben_vulpes: starting to give a shit about his dad yet?

SuchWow: punkman: haha
punkman: 1 bitcoin of ETH at first sale is worth 30 now
SuchWow: cazalla: that's reasonable. i don't really either, it's just that it's been hard to NOT hear about that one over the last year
SuchWow: yeah pre-sale woulda been nice, but i don't blame myself one bit for not buying the hype
cazalla: SuchWow, even if it was the second coming, idgaf as it will inflate forever
SuchWow: wasn't there some thing where the algo was gonna force POW to stop and switch to POS even tho no POS algo had been invented yet
SuchWow: did they ever fix that i wonder
ben_vulpes: i wonder how the conversation drifted from parenting to shillcoins
cazalla: not sure, from what i know it will change to pos at some point and then inflate the supply forever
ben_vulpes: must be that dogecoin guy again
cazalla: well, back to parent, ben_vulpes did you end up going ahead with co-sleeping?
cazalla: how is that going?
ben_vulpes: putting the pressure on to get him into his bassinet more regularly
ben_vulpes: well he sleeps through the night, let's start there
ben_vulpes: stirs a mite, gets fed, goes back to sleep.
SuchWow: ben_vulpes: i just asked a question, why so butthurt
cazalla: from 3 months, my boy slept 7pm-7am like clockwork, but when teething began so did around 6 months of shitty sleeping

SuchWow: yes exactly lol
SuchWow: and back when they respected poker as well
SuchWow: that's the only thing i ever really did on my trips
SuchWow: poker + free drinks
mircea_popescu: well because it was the loss leader also. people went to lose money to champs just on the basis of hte brand
SuchWow: poker was always the loss leader, even during the boom
mircea_popescu: "oh i played with chow" "o yea ? how'd you do ?" "folded three hands!"
SuchWow: but now there is literally no tourist market for poker anymore
SuchWow: and half the rooms that have been jere decades

SuchWow: it's really sad for me to see that, but at the same time
SuchWow: vegas is still doing alright
SuchWow: it's just catering to a different ceowd
SuchWow: they also cleaned up all the hookers and homeless
mircea_popescu: yeah lol. government workers.
SuchWow: like literally, poof, gone
SuchWow: (for the most part)
SuchWow: it's becoming a destination resort town, with gambling offered as just one of several differnt options, no more special weighting
mircea_popescu: no more tables, no more cocktail waitress cocksuckers off duty waiting for teh winners, no more vegas!
SuchWow: no, they're all there
SuchWow: that's the surreal part
SuchWow: it's all still there, people are doing it
SuchWow: but it's different people
SuchWow: and it's just no logner the focus

SuchWow: and the recently increased across the board prices

mircea_popescu: i didn't even bet, myself. but i think it's pretty much on the money.
SuchWow: but what is the end game
SuchWow: it's either trump v sanders, or v hillary
SuchWow: and i think sanders won't be 'permitted' 'able' to win
mircea_popescu: prolly hillary.
SuchWow: i think the whole damn circus is just a scripted mess to get hillary in
mircea_popescu: see there's this thing where they "prepare" future candidates. sanders may well get 2020.
SuchWow: which is fine, as she is the only candidate giving us the highest probability of continued stability
mircea_popescu: aha, quite exactly.
SuchWow: 'business as usual, etc'
SuchWow: whilst simulatenously appeasing outliers
SuchWow: buy giving sanders more support than perot, nader, and paul cpombined
SuchWow: thus enforcing the illusion that we are all really choosing the outcome
SuchWow: it's neat
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-03-2016#1418866 << so nsa/mit are trying to push an alt. good for them. they'll fail.

SuchWow: same hypothetical said about btc many times also tho
SuchWow: because he upped me lol
SuchWow: duh
SuchWow: as i said, i enjoy our bi-yearly talks lol
SuchWow: figured i'd bring my a-game for once ;)
mircea_popescu: tis much less of a hypotetical, tis a factual. look into the structure backing it if you're bored.
SuchWow: if nothing else, proving that trust/relationship can be established even without use of ratings bot lol
SuchWow: mircea_popescu: you're talking about eth, but saying not btc?
mircea_popescu: i can't say i'm not flattered nsa's trying their idea of "the mp approach", but in the famed words of knight, "get the fuck off the horse!"
SuchWow: or a combo of the two
mircea_popescu: entertainment and trust are orthogonal matters SuchWow
SuchWow: how did we get back to politics lol
mircea_popescu: but yes, an inkling of trust necessarily must stem out of outside the wot.
SuchWow: did the gov't have anything to do with creation of btc?
SuchWow: (just hypothetical by means of same token)
SuchWow: i knwo is unfairly braod Q lol
SuchWow: sry, wrist hurts
mircea_popescu: well, if it did or if it didn't, it's not like the case of ethereum in any sense.
SuchWow: interesting
mircea_popescu: what's that halfbreed's name, ho ?

SuchWow: (i am incredibly not well versed in eth tho admittedly, just the snips i hear here and there weekly on various chats/forums)
mircea_popescu: no wait, that's maybe not it. wtf was it,.
SuchWow: i certainly started watching that chart for fun tho, as i always do for btc/ltc/doge, a few months back
SuchWow: has been a wild ride, and i called a lot of the movement correctly
SuchWow: (but of course had zero invested due to no free time)
mircea_popescu: well, basically the story of eth is, "what if we made a b-a, except not on irc but in a spare closet at a usg-sponsored university, and we tried to get idiot kids on reddit excited and inept javascript developers contributing code and MAKE A BETTER BITCOIN in the sense that it'll suck where bitcoin hurts us."
SuchWow: now that's the most interesting tl;dr i've read yet
mircea_popescu: then i went into them financially and they actually burned a few millions propping it up, and that pretty much brings us to the present day.
SuchWow: right that's what gets me
SuchWow: i remember them fundraising etc
SuchWow: no prospects for growth
SuchWow: and then suddenly it's a currency and it starts acting like dogecoin, value/price-wise

mircea_popescu: and so, here we are #2.
SuchWow: except that it seems to be maintaining the illusion longer
SuchWow: do people even consider eth to be a beta
SuchWow: or still alpha
mircea_popescu: SuchWow hey, govt has a lot of experience running ponzis. heck, social security is still somehow magically protected by illusion.
SuchWow: i've seen the page listing all the amazing proof of concept contracts/programs

mircea_popescu: do you understand how normal work works among humans ? bob has a widget factory, which needs a widgeteer, which is a job composed of 5 movements and 3 reaches, so he goes to the corner where kids loiter and goes "you there! do like this with your elbow! good. now read this list and apply it. every day."
jurov: trinque i was mistaken, wget does timestamping, so all should be swell... but srs 50kB/s? you serve deedbot over ADSL?
mircea_popescu: but no, in bitcoin it's "and if the clown car on the left comes unglued call this number and if the bla bla 5000 entries long"
mircea_popescu: and it's still not ~complete~.

asciilifeform: repetitive, trainable elbow movements is the other hind.
asciilifeform: of labour
mircea_popescu: ie, skilled.
asciilifeform: semi-skilled, if you insist.
mircea_popescu: skilled labour is hwat a carpenter does. he has 7 tools and 3 types of wood, and an absolute guarantee that his fucking board isn't going to spontaneously turn to marmalade.
jurov: trinque i'm used to limiting at ingress not egress. but i prolly disgress.

mircea_popescu: sooo... it pains me to say that bitbet was just on the receiving end of a concerted miner withholding attack.
mircea_popescu: specifically : a set of a dozen or so txn that were trying to pay out winners of a bet went out, only to be "ignored" by the network. they all spent the same inputs. this went on for about a week.
mircea_popescu: once a transaction that DIDN'T spend the same inputs was announced and confirmed, the OLD transactions were somehow found, and are now broadcast.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 160428 @ 0.00056684 = 90.937 BTC [-] {5}
mircea_popescu: this adds an entire layer of breakage to the already broken bitcoin infrastructure. specifically - due to chinese miner collusion (and yes they do control over 50% of the network) it is impossible to guarantee payment at ANY point in the future.
mircea_popescu: because they can sit on a transaction more or less forever.
mircea_popescu: the damage in this case is ~17 BTC, which whatever - cdb.
mircea_popescu: HOWEVER - bitbet will NOT ever make 2nd transactions for any reason and in any case.
mircea_popescu: this means that if you are waiting on a payment - you got to talk to a miner. bitbet will not further consider any complaints of this nature.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla ^
kakobrekla: this is a problem.
mircea_popescu: the problem is broadly speaking that bitcoin is not actually fit for commerce, and that fixing it necessarily requires changing the pow to exclude f2pool/antpool/etc.
kakobrekla: afaik would not happen if you would select same inputs to be used for second tx or alternatively rebroadcast the first one
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla this is what i was doing for a fucking week.
mircea_popescu: however - since bitbet publishes the payout addresses, it's trivial for them to know what to sit on.
kakobrekla: the currently unconfirmed tx has 0 fee ?
mircea_popescu: one of the many. understand that there was a set of these.
kakobrekla: and the 29 blocks confirmed one has 0.00022
mircea_popescu: the one you see now was broadcast originally saturday.
kakobrekla: one of txes with erroneous 0 fee also got lost after a 2 or 3 days a couple of days ago
punkman: gotta try to spend/move the old inputs to be sure old transaction doesn't suddenly reappear
mircea_popescu: punkman except spending goes through the same process generally.
mircea_popescu: if spending worked, the problem wouldn't exist in the first place.
mircea_popescu: but spending doesn't, actually, work.
punkman: myeah, but gotta wait until you succeed before sending 2nd payment
kakobrekla: the problem isnt bitbet being targeted. the problem is 0 fee and the fact you can know if uncofirmed tx is out of EVERYONES mempool.
mircea_popescu: but the whole KEY of the thing is that this "wait until you succeed" ~= infinity.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla understand : just because they picked one particular txn out of a set of txn they withheld should NOT be an argument they may bring.
kakobrekla: anyway, tx is unconfirmed at this time with 0 fee, it will take a while to get included in a block if it even will be. you can try to doublespend those inputs to a different address and save the btc.
mircea_popescu: and the one doublespending it with a fee is... not visible. right ?
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry. i mean... sorry for your win.
mircea_popescu: or... wait, how did it go ?
kakobrekla: txid ?

kakobrekla: that is the doublespend of de9bc173174f5ae97e7fe0d2e171647cade189c76f9cbe48f37494c973aca2e4 ?
mircea_popescu: well, i'm going to make more, and try to mine them and etc, but yes.
mircea_popescu: anyway. miners must be broken, burned and the land fucking salted.
mircea_popescu: worst enemy of the coin.
kakobrekla: its possible you are connected to a node pocket - trb do not like non-trb nodeas (ban hammer) so they are only left connected (mostly) to trb, not prb which you need if you want the world to see your txes
mircea_popescu: all sorts of things are possible.

kakobrekla: for all we knowKnCMiner or whoever mined it, had it in his mempool all this time.
mircea_popescu: they're witholding blocks (what, you think the blocks you see are the blocks at they're mined ?!), they're withholding txn now, etc.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah, had it in sidepool for 4 days, waiting to see if i repay it without doublespent. which i did. today. 2 hours ago.
kakobrekla: actually no need to rebroadcast in that case, you can just include in block - would not see it as uncofirmed at all.
kakobrekla: so somebody else had it as well.
mircea_popescu: understand : at the time you saw it as "broadcast" it was ALREADY included in a block
mircea_popescu: that was at the time withheld.

mircea_popescu: you don't see nasdaq data straight, but with half hour delay
mircea_popescu: why do you expect you see block data ? chinese miners have their own pre-time network.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla only miners in control of well over 90% of hash can attempt this sort of inept shit.
kakobrekla: anyone could have done it as long as it fools you that it has been 'forgotten'.
mircea_popescu: in fact - once you have 51% you can withhold blocks forever with impunity - time works in your favour.
kakobrekla: and needs resigning.
mircea_popescu: the only anyone who can destroy a txn is the anyone who controls the mining.
kakobrekla: flood of txes + 0 fee tx brings about good chance of falling out block readers
mircea_popescu: i can't comprehend what you're trying to argue here. you're roughly in the position of a prison warden facing an empty cell and a hole in the wall going "hey, water infiltration can sometimes make holes in walls"
mircea_popescu: yeah, i'm sure they can.
kakobrekla: its not impossible you will make a tx from some inputs, which will be 'forgotten' and say fuck you [i only a slight problem so far as long as the tx hex is published and can be rebroadcast] and then later on use those same inputs for another tx [i have a larger problem with that]

mircea_popescu: later throughout the weekend, tx A1 was not visible in the bitcoin network, in spite of being broadcast to 100s of peers.
mircea_popescu: as a result, tx A2 was created, monday, spending the same inputs, paying a fee, and was broadcast.
mircea_popescu: throughout the following 48 hours, neither A1 or A2 were visible on the network.
mircea_popescu: a flurry of other txn, all spending the same inputs and paying ever more in fee were broadcast up until, most recently, march 1st (~16 hours ago).
kakobrekla: you pay out bet A with inputs Ia and sufficient fee. tx gets 'lost', not confirmed. people bitch. you post the tx hex so people them selfs can re-broadcast it. however for as long as that tx is not included in the block you can not spend those same Ia inputs.
mircea_popescu: about three hours ago, tx B, with the same outputs as An, but with different inputs was broadcast. this tx was visible in the mempool throujghout the network as normal, and was included in a block in half an hour.
mircea_popescu: about half an hour AFTER that inclusion, transaction A1 was REBROADCAST, and within 20 minutes of its rebroadcasting, in spite of no fee, low miner priority etc, was included in a block.
mircea_popescu: this is, unless you're insane, sufficient proof that
mircea_popescu: a) a majority of miners (ie, pool operators) on the bitcoin network conspire together to selectively deny valid transactions
mircea_popescu: b) the same majority of miners is running a withdheld block scheme, where they keep about a half hour time differential between the ACTUAL head of the bitcoin chain and what they published.
mircea_popescu: both of these are serious concerns, and both of these are, strictu sensu, sufficient to prove, not to propose, that bitcoin is not actually functional.
mircea_popescu: moroever, both of these are factual matters, on the basis of observed behaviour.
mircea_popescu: that's about it.
kakobrekla: thats one explanation however taking in account my own experiences with it - i am by your definition insane.
kakobrekla: anyway, for as long as the original tx is not included you must be careful not to spend those inputs in another tx. even if that means forever.
mircea_popescu: look, i know oodles of people have observed what to them seems "just normal wierdness"
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 23:16:38; mircea_popescu: the problem is broadly speaking that bitcoin is not actually fit for commerce, and that fixing it necessarily requires changing the pow to exclude f2pool/antpool/etc.
mircea_popescu: this is fine and good. however - i nicely structured this specifically to satisfy my own inquisitive mind. i am satisfied.
kakobrekla: i guess its time to add 'raw hex tx' data for re-broadcasting to bitbet resolved bets
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty much. i don't see what else is there. this is the fabled hour of reckoning, best i can tell

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla im still thinking what the best solution to this would be, but as far as bitbet is concerned quite likely something like that.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla not that it'd actually do anything, just adds a gauge.
asciilifeform: miningisabug (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: whatever mining may be, it's not jsut the codebase that's broken. bitcoin, per se, is not currently functional.
asciilifeform: wake me up when it's time for the keccak knife.

mircea_popescu: anyway. at present the best short-term course is, of course, publicizing the matter.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do the miners win from this behaviour ?
asciilifeform: usg payola?
mircea_popescu: i suppose we're at the chinese phase of exchanging insults.
mircea_popescu: nah, usg doesn't figure into this as much as a prince albert.
asciilifeform: i mean, if declaring war of the worlds, would be good to know why.
asciilifeform: if even knowable.
mircea_popescu: why what ? why b) ? because it's way the fuck safer for them if any would-be competing cartel starts with a half hour disadvantage.
mircea_popescu: or why a) ? possibily because getting cocky about it.
asciilifeform: i think i get.
mircea_popescu: typical behaviour of spider unaware that what it's trying to catch is a wasp. that eats spiders.
