(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyone who has other ideas re: muntzing cazalla's system please chime in
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if you find that this is *not* a ram issue, i'll provide you ssh access to a thing on which you can run a bitcoind.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: that'll have to come from my heirs legacy.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: and you're certain you know the contents of that logline?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: eg does it wedge reproducibly, etc.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nailgun for the shitgnomes.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: cazalla: this needs proving and reproduction.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well codified, thank you mircea_popescu.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this is the obvious solution, yes.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: not the hardcoded list, but the list of candidates constructed at/during runtime from which a node may consider downloading blocks.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: pronto.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and to tag this with the 'block download' thread: nodes that misbehave like this must be booted from the dl candidate list.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 67.70.13.210 << in 10* seeds?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if you have 0.8.6 available for inquiry.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: cazalla: please run 'getblockhash 233764' and report
(trilema) ben_vulpes: hm wait wrong construction
(trilema) ben_vulpes: /s/considering/consider
(trilema) ben_vulpes is not opening up cpp tonight, will run from flawed meatram
(trilema) ben_vulpes: although is that the hash of the existing block or the incoming block and are they even the same?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: << considering running 'getblockhash 233764' and seeing if it returns the same hash
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ERROR: ProcessBlock() : already have block 233764 00000000000000f9386cebe790b230739587e8d554d94579e8e569b73107c472

(trilema) ben_vulpes: good god they're all like 35
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the movie...
(trilema) ben_vulpes: as a side note, it's lovely to see pastebin die the good death.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: mission impossible!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyways cazalla your mission should you choose to accept it is to run down some useful debug information from a 0.8.6 that refuses to sync. i suggest booting your bitcoind with the -debug flag.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well you have places to hunt now don't you? and a foundation to whom to report shitgnomery in the wild?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: cazalla? new?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and then THEN you need to point the thing at a known-good node and see if you get the same results.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: general symptoms of shitgnomery
(trilema) ben_vulpes: block number
(trilema) ben_vulpes: like ~/.bitcoin/debug.log files from block where it wedges
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <cazalla> ben_vulpes, i reinstall nigubuntu a few days after 0.10 came out, i forgot to backup blocks so i had to dl it all again, but not able to do so despite blowing about 100gb on trying << dude i need more than this

(trilema) ben_vulpes: new noobs, gorgeous weather, summer runup must be impending.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <bagehot> [04:12] Another argument I've heard is that thing like 'money' and the 'economy' exist as they are because of some constraints that are present in the natural world and so those constraints, eh, cause certain behaviors << it's called thermodynamics
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;later tell bagehot "normative statement" << actually now i'm not so sure i want to be around you at all even
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;later tell bagehot lmk if you want a hand with setting up networks off of the mainchain

(trilema) ben_vulpes: who knows what got snipped and sewn in place during recombination.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: lineage, then.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and gypsies (so family legend goes) who assimilated into the local joomunity.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: jews who escaped
(trilema) ben_vulpes: french mercs
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if i might be so bold i bear an excellent subset of excellent american genes
(trilema) ben_vulpes: like gypsies, but according to the people in question, 'smarter'
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the glib retort is "we're not immigrants, we're jooz!"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: aha
(trilema) ben_vulpes: attempt to mutate the state and you tempt him
(trilema) ben_vulpes: his baleful glare burning into your soul
(trilema) ben_vulpes: state is von neumann peeking through the curtain
(trilema) ben_vulpes: never update your bitcoin device
(trilema) ben_vulpes: oh god
(trilema) ben_vulpes: is this a real thing?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: oh, well. then what?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 'international cattle demarcation line' does not refer to israel?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: umpteen fucking centuries of having the bottom 90% snipped off of your ethnic group is much more pertinent

(trilema) ben_vulpes: saifedean: it's the Alps on the Riviera << oh god that sounds amazong
(trilema) ben_vulpes: wouldn't it be handy to have a thing that could watch the output of n different 'bitcoin's running in real time?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: new 0.8.6 chains blow up during initial sync?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: your 0.8.6 all of a sudden refuses to sync further?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: cazalla: what's the full story here?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this is still worth enumerating.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051634 << stealth fork?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> said.... everyone ever ? << nah. babes in haus is totally the way to go.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that set of assertions has me in knots.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: but on the other hand "you're a parent now - you must sacrifice your whole life for the new life"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> what's wrong is the idea that dependents can push one around in one's own castle. << myup.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 600 lines of log

(trilema) ben_vulpes: optimal for me is always going to be somewhere around "gives me leverage on data"

(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: blockchain queries are a business logic concern!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <decimation> ben_vulpes: it strikes me that a relational db is a bit 'heavy' for storing the blockchain tree << i want to say "select * from outputs where output.spent_transaction is null;"

(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: applying software to business problems.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i want data i can query with a 'sane' language
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: should i be concerned with these pure performance issues?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <decimation> but in reality you want structure << this
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'll have no truck with unstructured languages that don't support querying
(trilema) ben_vulpes: particularly when woods are full of wolves.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: particularly then.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: eventually boy who cries wolf is ignored, even when wolf is coming

(trilema) ben_vulpes: nor* i
(trilema) ben_vulpes: lol no i
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i grow more and more tempted every day to use postgres as a filesystem.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but a *queryable* blockchain is something else entirely.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the storage on disk is a thing of import, no doubt.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i want it in a database, though.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: right.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: but my *other* documents.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i have the *passport*
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyways
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that part was unnecessary, and risks putting one in the 'extra scrutiny' bin as i see it.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: decimation: i'm aware.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: despite! claims all over forms that supporting docs will be returned with issued passport.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: fuckers declined to send me back my court papers and expired passport.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'll admit to shitting more than a single brix over its issuance, given my presence here and name change froofraw.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: during my days in the wafer biz the shop for whom i slaved had a high-res testing machine that could test arbitrary board designs
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the tooling investment to make this feasible for every board sent through a given shop is non trivial though, ibid for customer education.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no, it should be easy, decimation.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: shouldn't be, really.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: glhf. not happening.
