(trilema) ben_vulpes: - return a block corresponding to a given hash
(trilema) ben_vulpes: - return the height of the current best-known chain
(trilema) ben_vulpes: - translate block height to block hash
(trilema) ben_vulpes: translate block height to block hash
(trilema) ben_vulpes: - download and validate blocks
(trilema) ben_vulpes: here's a proposed list

(trilema) ben_vulpes: mthreat this is almost worse than useless
(trilema) ben_vulpes: !s bitcoinate

(trilema) ben_vulpes: buttonwood_: ^^ that bet right there is a good example of best-in-class contracts.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyways, buttonwood_ are you still interested in working this thread?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyways, there was one. are you aware of why it shut down?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: !up buttonwood_
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that'd be the one, yeah.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: there was an options exchange for a while, buttonwood_.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: boo
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;echo /msg ben_vulpes hello
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;echo /msg assbot amazing
(trilema) ben_vulpes: you're clearly in a good position to be talking about how business should be done around here.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;gettrust buttonwood_
(trilema) ben_vulpes: !gettrust assbot buttonwood_
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trust is built over time, and can't be abstracted out.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: buttonwood_: you can't trust people that you don't trust. end of story.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <mats> use the ratings and talk to the raters << this. again and again, this.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and all of this because i asked about what should bear responsibility for creating and signing transactions.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: much like if you want a > 1m transaction that's your problem
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if i want to spend my low-priority outputs, that's my problem.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: perhaps i don't understand what all gets signed. more than likely.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: how is my signature even valid in that scenario?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but you're saying that if i cook up a transaction that has 1march29th as an input, the miners should actually rewrite that to use 1march15th as an input?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what miners do is...unknowable?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'm talking about the reference implementation.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: !up buttonwood_
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so they actually troll through the whole blockchain
(trilema) ben_vulpes: how are miners doing it?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: s/do/should
(trilema) ben_vulpes: do bitcoind-node and bitcoind-wallet share a db?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: new topic!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: great
(trilema) ben_vulpes: got it
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ah ah but check that a transaction is in a block
(trilema) ben_vulpes: s/./?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: all that must be done is check that a tx input comes from a previous block.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the bitcoind *node* doesn't give a whit about transaction creation
(trilema) ben_vulpes: you're proposing a new "wallet" that knows how to create transactions.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i guess a step backwards is in order first
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if i'm reading correctly, you propose moving transaction creation *out* of bitcoind.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: which is the transaction creation process.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if i can interrupt, i'm coming at this problem from an entirely different angle.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: jurov: a transaction in a block contains the public key iirc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i guess this implies maintaining an index of txn hashes -> block hashes for lookup and validity checking
(trilema) ben_vulpes: from *its* blockchain (database).
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so then the thing *does* need to retrieve arbitrary transactions.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: to verify a new transaction, one needs the previous transaction in hand, in entirety.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: like i'm 5, please.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: do you want me to say "not at all"?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> txn are verifiable aren't they. << not really. transaction only includes txid of previous transaction which itself has the pubkey required for validation.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: bitcoind-wallet should generate and sign transactions.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: bitcoind should not maintain a wallet
(trilema) ben_vulpes: another claim, for your consideration
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <kakobrekla> ... something wrong << what is best practice? feedback from industry leaders would be useful here.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: b) bitcoind *should* be able to return transactions with unspent outputs
(trilema) ben_vulpes: a) bitcoind should not return arbitrary transactions by id
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so i made two claims, let's treat them seperately
(trilema) ben_vulpes: okay okay
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: how long does a "rescan" take these days?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and why?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: with the utxo list in hand, a node could create a raw transaction for signing by an offline node.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i think that maintaining the utxo list is a good idea.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: correct me if i'm wrong, but address balance is the sum of unspent transactions to that public key.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's a much more tractable problem to find transactions relevant to a given address out of that list than it is to walk the blockchain for same.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if the node were to maintain the list of unspent transaction outputs, it would also have a list of the TXID's with unspent outputs.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: -> LOTSAH3X
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ./bitcoind getrawtransaction TXID
(trilema) ben_vulpes: are you agreeing or what?
(trilema) ben_vulpes frowns
(trilema) ben_vulpes: not the best english, but what american knows how to write well anyways?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: dunno

(trilema) ben_vulpes: "a single machine acting as a full node" << conformal has yet to answer any questions re: what the specs of this "machine" were.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anything in particular about that, mats?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: another netsplit?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: my reasoning being that iterating through the blocks is adequate to get complex information out of the thing, and that producing unspent outputs is adequate for "bitcoinating" - eg, producing and signing transactions.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: any *unspent output*, yes.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: any *block*, yes.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't know that the thing needs to cough up *any* transaction on demand.
