ThickAsThieves: Rocket Box 450G-490G 480W[shipping around 27th,June] 990mbtc each if you buy 4 units
ThickAsThieves: 1PH would surely be cheaper if you contacted them to make arrangements
ThickAsThieves: (cheaper rate)
davout: ThickAsThieves: i see, i'm not really trying to be very precise here, just a ballpark estimate for the recent ~47PH/s increase
ThickAsThieves: for 1 PH
ThickAsThieves: by my napkin math
ThickAsThieves: maybe discount is deeper at that size i dunno

mike_c: which isn't quite right
mike_c: cuz that's for the root domain
ThickAsThieves: i was only there as a last resort, cuz the DNS secrtion only allowed TXT or CNAME
mike_c: hm
ThickAsThieves: it's all fucked up

ThickAsThieves: there's no place that looks like the link mike_c gave from their doc
ThickAsThieves: where i can fully choose to make any kind of record
punkman: you need to make ns1.therealaltcoin.org and ns2.therealaltcoin.org, point to nameserver ip
punkman: then add seed, ns1.therealaltcoin.org NS record
jurov: ThickAsThieves: I had to look
jurov: and on Modify Domain screen
punkman: ThickAsThieves: does the domain use the host's nameserver?
punkman: well then you need to go there and add NS record
jurov: there is NS record under ADVANCED in the RCORD TYPE dropdown
punkman: yeah but you gotta use NC's nameserver for that
ThickAsThieves: i see no "advanced" in this window jurov
punkman: oh you use namecheap hosting for it
ThickAsThieves: in that screenshot, do i just put this custom IP in the ns1 and ns2 boxes and add that?
pankkake: ns1 and ns2 should be namecheap nameserver ips
punkman: do you see a link on the menu that says "Transfer DNS Back to Us"?
ThickAsThieves: it's always there, but yeah
ThickAsThieves: even if you use them
punkman: no if you use them it says "Transfer to web host"
punkman: maybe the hosting account menu has something about dns?
punkman: never used that myself
ThickAsThieves: jurov i cant find that window
punkman: yeah because you use namecheaphosting dns, not namecheap dns
jurov: menu -> manage domains -> click on domain name -> all host records
ThickAsThieves: doesnt exist
ThickAsThieves: i think punkman is onto something
jurov: which step doesnt exist?
ThickAsThieves: so i'm using their DNS, just not THEIR DNS
ThickAsThieves: or someshit
punkman: my domain with NC DNS uses DNS1.REGISTRAR-SERVERS.COM
punkman: not DNS1.NAMECHEAPHOSTING.COM

ThickAsThieves: 1800 is 30m if i recall?
mike_c: ttl is a suggestion
ThickAsThieves: how do i know if it's working, does an NS record show up on whatsmydns.net?
mike_c: what should happen is eventually you do a dig -t any therealaltcoin.org and it shows up
pankkake: you can ask the responsible dns server directly, bypassing ISP caches
ThickAsThieves: i dont understand either of you
ThickAsThieves: i can tell ya when i visit seeds.therealaltcoin.org it behaves differently now :/
mike_c: uh oh
mike_c: A record seems to be gone
punkman: did you transfer "back to us"?
ThickAsThieves: probly a delay in that?
mike_c: oh, nvm. it's there now. weird.
punkman: because now it has no idea what IP the root is
punkman: unless they've added some magic
punkman: *root domain
ThickAsThieves: the page loads at least
ThickAsThieves: but no idea if the seeds subdomain is set up as needed yet
punkman: and if you add it manually, then namecheaphosting can't update the IP if it ever changes

mircea_popescu: 1. Client changes the seed after each new server seed, before every bet. He doesn't know server seed, so seed he provides should give a random number. (Painfully tedious, few actually do it, but for those who do, provably fair.) << prolly a bot that does this would be useful.

Namworld: Yes, it should indeed be a requirement to have such an external tool for current venues.
Namworld: mircea, I'll probably just post it on the gambling forum where it is relevant and let people pitch in.
Namworld: At least there's a large, targeted audience there.

mircea_popescu: Namworld "No, you wouldn't be able to notice that the website, across all players, has a much higher house edge than 1% which is unlikely. It's easy to fill with fake "lucky" account to compensate " << you could notice it over your own experience.
mircea_popescu: jd for instance allows you to run 0 bet sampling rounds of infinite size.
mircea_popescu: or should i say allowed.
mircea_popescu: but anywqay, this entire paper is not about server cheating, it's about how "if you're lazy and stupid you might lose". sure. as it should be. let people make proper betting bots with seeding per bet
mircea_popescu: and yes jd was correctly implemented.
mircea_popescu: the coinroll "end of the day disclosure" method is also acceptable. it may be open to abuse for low volume sites (based on finding hash collisions, much in the same way mining works) but doesn't seem too practical
mircea_popescu: client's last deposit tx is good, and a lot of space in there in the block in case it's needed.
mircea_popescu: i still say you should make a blog.
Namworld: It doesn't help much if the system is targetting accounts with large balance and stops cheating after a small sample/when the large balance isn't making large bets.
mircea_popescu: this is true
Namworld: They could steal a few thousands extra BTC on large bets which might not seem too odd until it's too late.
Namworld: Would also be costly to attempt to verify by betting.
assbot: bitbet.us scammers ignore delivered BFL products | Bitcointa.lk
mircea_popescu: lol epic
mircea_popescu: Namworld do you see why the jd "show on request" model is slightly stronger for fairness than the "fixed time disclosure" ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake "Then there is services like" there are.
Namworld: How is it stronger for fairness? Server seed provided prior to client seed.
mircea_popescu: let me show you a model.
pankkake: I thought about it, and decided "there is" was the correct form, as I am saying "services like this exist"
Namworld: Sure
pankkake: but maybe I am confused about the grammar
mircea_popescu: you are yes.
mircea_popescu: Namworld suppose site switcxhes at 1 btc. so :
mircea_popescu: server seed is "A". 0.1 btc comes in, is calculated. wins or loses.
mircea_popescu: 0.2 btc comes in, idem calculated.
mircea_popescu: at this point, server is also mining, and knows that hash "B" would also be consistent with the history so far.
mircea_popescu: ie, either "A" or "B" would give the 0.1 and 0.2 bets same results.
mircea_popescu: 1.2 btc bet comes in. server looks at results, A wins, B loses. server picks its hash as B and reconstructs the merkle tree
mircea_popescu: now, if you know when the hash will have to be revealed, this is possible
mircea_popescu: if hash may be revealed at any random point, this is suddenly problematic
Namworld: There's a single server seed for all users for the day... with its hash predisclosed. It would be pretty much impossible to reasonably find another seed that matches the hash...
mircea_popescu: the absolutely ideal system, imo, would be a server that used the same secret for ALL PLAYERS and reset it (for all players) at any player's request. but this poses problems for anon players.
mircea_popescu: it's a conundrum
mircea_popescu: Namworld a you also predisclose the hash ?
assbot: Intuit Lets Merchants Accept Bitcoin With New 'PayByCoin' Service
Namworld: Yes, there's a list with months of secrets' hashes provided upfront.
Namworld: Like JD provides the server's seed hash.
ThickAsThieves: (intuit is what most small businesses and more use for acconting in US)
mircea_popescu: Namworld a ok nm then, it's quite strong
mircea_popescu: "Now some guy now wants" pankkake must proof moar omg
Namworld: That and we don't provide a default client seed, we use the blockchain transaction ID of the last deposit.
mircea_popescu: Namworld ya that part is very good.
Namworld: So by default all players should be covered correctly
Namworld: No work to do on the user's part, other than verification.
mircea_popescu: Namworld why is that txt not signed ?

mircea_popescu: but since pankkake got me re-reading old things, yea, i like this fluffypony bit :
mircea_popescu: "That last point probably needs some elaboration. You see, #bitcoin-assets makes a distinction between “being wrong” and “being stupid”. If you are “wrong” about something the implication is (and should be) that you are self-aware enough to explain your reasoning well enough that one of three outcomes occur: those in conversation either come round to your point of view; or they agree that you have a valid l
mircea_popescu: ine of reasoning and are entitled to hold that viewpoint; or your self-awareness and general level of intelligence allows you to change your opinion or view. Thus, being “wrong” (or having to defend your view) is encouraged!"

pankkake: my first post is probably 2004

davout: moiety: lol no, shoot
moiety: mircea_popescu: a question I have since repeated tomyself so many times.

pankkake: link is ok, thank god for noscript/requestpolicy/etc
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal at the size of your purchase you can prollylet them go on one confirm. who's gonna dblspend for a can of coke
TheNewDeal: friggin candy addicts
pankkake: do you think they will double spend to buy cheap food? in a physical location?
mircea_popescu: get out. they gotta be physically there too, it's not worth it
mircea_popescu: you got a better deal with this than with them putting in us quarters anyway.
TheNewDeal: ok what happens if I have a laundromat and the washer accept bitcoin. Someone finds out they can just come and get two loads for the price of 1, dry 2 loads for the price of 1, etc

mircea_popescu: someone doing that much hash doesn't need your puny 5kw tumble drier
mircea_popescu: they got their very own 12 MW thing
TheNewDeal: do you need to hash at all?
TheNewDeal: I thought you could just send 2 transactions before a block is mined
mircea_popescu: so you'd see the other one first ?
TheNewDeal: doesnt propagation take on the scale of minutes?
mircea_popescu: 6 confirms (as opposed to 1 confirm) only matters if they are actively mining and attacking the chain
mircea_popescu: 1 confirm (as opposed to 0 confirms) helps if they try to isolate you in the convey txn graph
mircea_popescu: but this you can fight by keeping good peers.
pankkake: nodes shouldn't propagate the doublespent tx if they have the first, but of course it's not 100% reliable
mircea_popescu: it's about 96% reliable atm i think
TheNewDeal: couldn't any derp go to blockchain tho?
TheNewDeal: just use the doublespend feature
pankkake: you mean bitundo?

TheNewDeal: more concerned about the laundry :D
davout: am i the only one to think it's actually stupid to not relay double spends ?
mike_c: this was explored exhaustively with satoshi dice. some serious gymnastics pulled it off with trivial amounts, and SD then reacted and closed that loophole as well.
pankkake: davout: I've read some interesting debates but I don't remember them
TheNewDeal: can I get a linky to their solution?
mircea_popescu: yeah, what mike_c said.
mircea_popescu: davout not really much diff. sort-of poisons you as it were.
moiety: davout: I can't find any screens of it. here's the logo https://bitcointa.lk/data/avatars/m/78/78316.jpg?1393513983 Bitcoin Socially it was called.
mike_c: the double spend had to do with making the SD tx ugly (lots of inputs), and double-spending with a fee. SD just started using fees and problem went away iirc.
davout: mircea_popescu: "sort-of poisons you as it were." <<< does not parse
pankkake: iirc the payment protocol (I know, right) can make propagating the transaction the responsibility of the merchant
mircea_popescu: davout type 1 (pick one tx, relay that) "poisons" the nodes that got the dblspend. type 2 (relay all) doesn't.
mircea_popescu: imo type 1 behaviour is better
mircea_popescu: but they don't make that much difference
davout: pankkake mircea_popescu i tend to think it's better to transparently relay both txes, so that they're much easier to detect if you care about them
mircea_popescu: well yeah. conversely, type 1 makes it obvious which nodes get poisoned
mircea_popescu: would you rather see the bad tx or the "bad" nodes ?
davout: i think it's easier to handle an obvious double spend than to keep track of 'good' vs. 'evil' nodes
mircea_popescu: seeing how blacklisting is still a thing, consensus kinda favoured current behaviour for good game theoretic reasons

Naphex: to pass to a noob to sign his stuff
mircea_popescu: anyway, node behaviour is going to be the major topic of 2015 i suspect.
mircea_popescu: they have no incentive (perhaps the best candidate for a satoshi oversight is not putting any incentive for tx relay at all) to behave properly and a lot of different types of misbehaviours necessarily include themn
TheNewDeal: why so
davout: mircea_popescu: "it was argued this isn't so smart." <<< i'd be interested in reading the argument
mircea_popescu: davout you're mostly rehashing it right now ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, salmon's here. bbl #2!
davout: mircea_popescu: thinking about it, i'm usually not very fond of arguments that nodes should behave a particular way, simply interested in the case against transparently relaying all legal txes, even if they are double spends
TheNewDeal: well what happens to a node that has a transaction and receives information about a double spend of that transaction?
mike_c: you mean what happens when a block is orphaned?
TheNewDeal: i just started reading about this statoshi client today so forgive my ignorance http://coinchomp.com/2014/05/07/announcing-statoshi-realtime-bitcoin-node-statistics/
assbot: Announcing Statoshi: Realtime Bitcoin Node Statistics - CoinChomp
davout: TheNewDeal: you don't double spend a transaction, you double spend an output, but other than that, nothing really until one of them gets into a mined block, more information can't really hurt
TheNewDeal: unless of course you're receiving an immediate service
TheNewDeal: isn't there something about nodes being banned for like 24 hours for bad behavior?
TheNewDeal: I'm just thinking in terms of my vending machine example

TheNewDeal: yes indeed
mthreat: davout: ya i'm kind of interested - any interesting results?
TheNewDeal: wasn't sure if it was considered bad behavior to propagate a double spent output
dignork: Naphex: if it's 2-3 multisig, check bitrated.com, it allows to use online generated keys, or just use pubkeys
davout: TheNewDeal: if you give some low value thing in exchange for a zero-conf tx, you might find it useful to immediately get the information that someone is attempting a double spend, rather than having the info cock-blocked
davout: mthreat: i didn't really dig, what kind of results are you after ?
Naphex: dignork: nah something custom, just sign a multisig with a privkey

davout: Naphex: you apparently haven't learned the "don't give people bitcoins if they ain't educated enough to handle them themselves" lesson heh?
Naphex: davout: just need em to sign a transaction once in a while
thestringpuller: davout: hah. but if those people make us look better.
davout: Naphex: maybe an idea would be for them to simply use the qt built-in console rather than a full-fledged terminal?
Naphex: davout: yep, but you need to make a json array with the redeemScript, inputs and script-pubkey
Naphex: which requires quite some manual work
Naphex: would probably be easier with bash and terminal
Naphex: then with current bitcoin-cli multisig
dignork: Naphex: you can show them full json on site/send by email w/e
Naphex: yeah - will probably just write some simple tool
Naphex: put raw transaction in, + privkey sign it
Naphex: i create transaction and just pass it
Naphex: probably even simplify and use lotsa scrypt rounds and use a password to gen priv key
Naphex: then they can just sign with password
dignork: Naphex: look at bitrated.com, they did it properly, and their code is on github
dignork: actually they - shesek, you can talk to him

bloctoc: I thought S.MPOE was F.DERP and I don't see F.DERP Am I Right?
TheNewDeal: talked about it earlier
TheNewDeal: but the gist is this
TheNewDeal: in a theoretical scenario, a company pays for the worth of the startup
TheNewDeal: talking about an aquisition type here
TheNewDeal: so the stock of the acquirer shouldn't really change
TheNewDeal: Example was. If Bitpay is worth 1Billion usd, FB forks over 1 Billion USD, FB valuation stays same
TheNewDeal: in reality, FB stock is volatile, could potentially have a large shift in the 30 day period
