ben_vulpes: i use helm for buffer selection, and winner mode to get the windows back where they were.
ascii_butugychag: (now that i think about it, i don't recall whether he said anything about tmsr-only. but this seems like an obvious thing)
ascii_butugychag: the 'final solution' to the tx crud flood is, i suspect, mircea_popescu's concept of a tmsr-ONLY block-a-day mining pool
punkman: not sure when they implemented that in PRB
mod6: ah, can you give me a point in the right direction?
punkman: mod6: I meant producing stric-der signatures, and yeah that pull-req only involves the relaying
punkman: might be another reason for rejection
mod6: just the part that I indicated above.
mircea_popescu: the actual bitcoin network looks like a fuzz atop those teeth
mircea_popescu: if you graph the mempool you'll see that there's this see-saw pattern, resulting from spam txn being introduced, then they expire, then reintroduced...
mircea_popescu: there are still floating around 14,7kb shits with 0.00015 fees that were introduced on the 18th. by the thousand.
mod6: i'll note, for instance, that when using -lows lastnight, i created tx '320665468f018d9635da7e240f01f48b07e1e5114a2535895f7091fe3aa751a0' (and a hand full of others) that never made it.
mircea_popescu: the mempool is beeing pretty well flooded by bs, so depending on exactly what type of txn you had that may account.
mod6: for those interested, there is some debugging that did lastnight: http://dpaste.com/15QFA7T.txt
mircea_popescu: it is good to have backups : they can fail when used and thus justify keeping around trickups.
mod6: the idea is, have a flag 'fLowS' that is passe from the cmdline when starting bitcoind as '-lows' that will run (basically this code: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.9.3/src/key.cpp#L202-L227) instead of the original
mod6: ok, so the original code is in key.h:Sign (L291)
mod6: im thinking maybe, worst case, i can make a patch with just the -lows code in there, and then wait to get the rest figured out later for -highs

jurov: yea, the evilmode wizards attempted to have it work like in vim, and it does not work
ascii_butugychag: either you contort yourself to fit the tool (the luserworld philosophy) or you bend the tool.
ascii_butugychag: i suspect that there is no getting away from this
ascii_butugychag: jurov: the traditional answer is 'if emacs does not behave as you like, write some elisp'

mircea_popescu: if you use csplit to create individual files by the record separator, you end up with 500k files, and
Xplosionist: okay. what is the record separator?
mircea_popescu: Xplosionist you specifically can not rely on newlines because they are used in the profile text.
mircea_popescu: if you make it into a single line and try to then use sed to recreate lines by the separator, sed silently dies
Xplosionist: mircea_popescu is there a good field separator?
