(trilema) ben_vulpes: Bitcoin 0.5.3 is the canonical reference implementation. If a fork occurs and one side validates on the 0.5.3 codebase while the other does not, the chain that validates under 0.5.3 is the only valid chain.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: my position being "if your notion of a valid block has to patch 0.5.*, get fucked."
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "However, this also means they're not checking the new BIP66 rule, and are now mining invalid blocks because of it. (another miner happened to create an invalid, non-BIP66 respecting block) If you're not using Bitcoin Core, you might be accepting transactions that won't be on the longest valid chain when all this is fixed." << curious to see if 0.5.whatever comes out on top at the end of this

(trilema) ben_vulpes: you'll spend less, they'll work less, and your systems will be vastly better for not having mongo in them
(trilema) ben_vulpes: man you can get a sql user (not an expert, mind you, but someone who understands it has used it and can avoid common retardations) at half time for approximately half the cost of some hotshit "full stack developer" who thinks mongo's a good idea
(trilema) ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-07-2015#1184581 << and fucking how
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and because none of them were designed for that in the first place because a) it's hard and b) fucking retards write nosql stores for hackernooz points the algebraic layer turns out to never actually work. or it locks everything up while running queries that a real db would plan handle like a boss
(trilema) ben_vulpes: much like any c project eventually grows a miserable half-assed implementation of an eighth of common lisp any nosql project eventually tries to implement relational alggebra
(trilema) ben_vulpes: otherwise you're going to start running the kind of braindamaged queries your 'nosql' layer support and then glomming it all together into something representing a query in application code
(trilema) ben_vulpes: dude if it has a hint of structure it belongs in a relational db
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (and even that can be handled by mother postgres at rather high efficiencies these days)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i've yet to see the real world problem that a nosql db was actually the right solution to that wasn't actually a cacheing/cdn problem
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no man
(trilema) ben_vulpes: recede
(trilema) ben_vulpes: decimation: i'm finally seeing the tide receed from mongo's highwater
(trilema) ben_vulpes: you can even derp the raw binary into pg if you're so inclined
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if you're storing as the appropriate ints, floats, doubles, strings etc
(trilema) ben_vulpes does not see the problem with hashing values queried directly out of the db
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but perhaps there's a good reason for writing the blocks directly to disk that i'm not grasping
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the whole thing should be in sqlite at the very least
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i've lost weeks, months of my life to the unqueriability of mongo and phriendz
(trilema) ben_vulpes: fucking kv stores
(trilema) ben_vulpes: p. sure the transaction indices were tossed for space saving reasons aka shitgnomery
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i was under the impression that it was either not relational or was only being used in bitcoind as a kv store
(trilema) ben_vulpes: huh bdb is actually relational?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: has anyone verified the full chain as puked out from asciilifeform's `shitblock`?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if you had the whole blockchain querieable in postgres, you could infer account balances in the usual fashion and sell reads over a pg connection
(trilema) ben_vulpes: attn aspiring asseteers!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: decimation: now is when i confess to a quarter-implemented blockchain->relational db importer
(trilema) ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-07-2015#1184469 << this has *always* gotten up my nose

(trilema) ben_vulpes: and so everyone quakes in their boots and lines up to pay or report their neighbors or whatever it is that they want today
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and perhaps this is the hallmark of fascist states - how would I know, only recently having started to crawl out from under my brainwashing - that they can't possibly deliver on their promises of complete surveillance (let's just take tax collection for one tiny slice of the thing), but they freeze any individuals assets on a whim to prevent their fighting back on tax charges.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: maybe changing -> affecting

(trilema) ben_vulpes: how else to maintain the illusion that the whole thing matters.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: in that sense obab (as proxy for the usg) does in fact own my company to a far greater degree than i ever can
