mod6: here's the patch
mod6: here's a picture of what libs I had installed & openssl version: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=be4Yr0MZ
mod6: i'll formalize this stuff in the next few days and get it on to the list.
mod6: more good news. my AWS instance achieved full sync just now with the following config: v0.5.3 + patches { 1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 } & openssl version 1.0.1g : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=VVz5j1dW

mod6: (this is on debian 6)
asciilifeform: mod6: why did you snip the static build?
asciilifeform: mod6: that patch renders bitcoind-portatronic unbuildable
mod6: ah. i'll add it back in. no prob. just wanted someone to look over my shoulder on that part.
asciilifeform presently thinks that bitcoind should only ever be build statically
mod6: that's fine. i kinda was thinking trying to statically link the libs was giving me an issue. forgot to add it back in.
mod6: i'll have another patch here in a minute. meanwhile, i have v0.0.8.2 of the perl script, few tweeks in case anyone cares: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=UNzScJP7

mod6: passed 3rd checkpoint..
mod6: 4th
mod6: 5th
mod6: one thing that sucks about this version of bdb 4.6 is that it doesn't support my database flag to autoremote the database transaction logs : dbenv.log_set_config(DB_LOG_AUTO_REMOVE, 1);

punkman: if we replace openssl with libressl or whatever, how do we verify all the buggy data generated by 7 different openssl versions?
danielpbarron: exceptions
mod6: 7th checkpoint passed
mod6: punkman: yeah, there's a bunch of work to be done surrouding openssl/libressl
ben_vulpes: punkman: asciilifeform proposed snipping the crypto routines out of ssl and dropping them wholesale into the bitcoind
ben_vulpes: okay hey so devil's advocate for a moment
ben_vulpes: what's so bad about boost?
punkman: fuck boost
ben_vulpes: a well-reasoned critique. thanks punkman.
mod6: so, the funny part is, as the story goes, most of what is in boost was put into the 2011 standard.

punkman: I wonder what the liberally sprinkled "CRITICAL_BLOCK" does
ben_vulpes: i have no clue, man.
punkman: was replaced with something named "LOCK" soon after 0.5.3
mod6: its thread safty
ben_vulpes: well okay i grok that it's related to thread safety
ben_vulpes: but as to danielpbarron's pointer...
mod6: mutual exlusion semaphore
mod6: *exclusion
ben_vulpes: i am full of questions as to how that's implemented
mod6: red ring + magical sword & shield required.
mod6: its hairy in there.
mod6: An adventurer is you!
ben_vulpes: doesn't look like there are that many different boost functions called.
ben_vulpes: assuming, that is that all boost functions start with BOOST_
mod6: i think a lot of em are, yeah.
mod6: i thought the warings at the end of the openbsd compilation were rather lulzy
mod6: gotta add a patch for that stuff
mod6: thestringpuller: thanks for testing that script tonight
punkman: mod6, did you statically compile that last instance?
mod6: no
mod6: i'll rebuild with STATIC and see
ben_vulpes: forgive the naivte, but what does static compilation buy one?
punkman: not wondering about what version openssl you are using for one
ben_vulpes: yeah explicit deps are nice
punkman: and you can move the binary to other machine without having to pull all the boost-dev packages

cazalla: danielpbarron, seems obvious eh
BingoBoingo: managed to build a bitcoin-qt 0.7.2 on OpenBSD, alerts snipped, Fuck only know if it will sync
BingoBoingo: Mucking with the bitcoin-qt source to get it to build was much easier with leveldb out of the picture. Refused to build in a way OpenBSD could link
BingoBoingo: Block 60000 219 of RAM used so far
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, out of curiosity why did you go for 0.7.2 ?
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Looking for the a version of qt that builds on openbsd at all
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Also qr codes for recieving
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15400 @ 0.00042412 = 6.5314 BTC [+] {2}
BingoBoingo: Some foundation patches like alert snipping have been implemented, but no idea if this is suitable for broad distribution
BingoBoingo: Probably not I'd wager
BingoBoingo: 84204, over half way to the first wedge block
Adlai: why should bitcoind care the slightest about qr codes?
Adlai: you can produce them in a separate program[/computer] given just an address
BingoBoingo: Adlai: Mobile online machine, Maybe I want someone to shoot money at me from a Pnohe while watching it hit
Apocalyptic: Adlai, bitcoind shoudln't, indeed. bitcoin-qt is another program
BingoBoingo: Any ways, it is exercise to learn the new environment
Apocalyptic: can't hurt
BingoBoingo: changine random to arc4_random for the nonces was probably important for this build platform so catching that was importish
BingoBoingo: Under 300MB of ram 100k blocks in
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, note that the use of arc4 stream cipher for randomness in something as critical as ECDSA sig nonces is... discouraged. If I remember correctly it's a bit biased
BingoBoingo: They don't use rc4 for arc4_random anymore.
punkman: people have lost money with duplicate nonces

BingoBoingo: I was about to call it a night three hours ago, but now the Sun's been up forever and I can't stop watching blocks sync
mod6: haha, nice.
mod6: after that thing blew up i was like, time for bed.
mod6: so are you running v0.5.3.1 or .7.2 ?
mod6: i gotta recompile (linking dynamically) and see if I can get past 168,001
BingoBoingo: 0.7.2 qt, tried forever on 0.8.6 qt to avoid futzing with the BDB settings. Twas a mistake. It took the better part of a day to realize leveldb is never building for my level of skill in the necessary way and two seconds to patch that BDB shit
BingoBoingo: mod6: Your wedged?
mod6: ah, no. but recently had issues with VerifiySignature on a tx in block 168,001
mod6: that was on linux w/openssl v0.9.8o
mod6: this one uses LibreSSL 2.0
BingoBoingo: Ah, so I'm the brave fuck who will be riding LibreSSL2.0 into the block firsted
mod6: An adventurer is you!
mod6: I'm on block ~128k
mod6: so when the dynamic compile is done here, will start back up.
mod6: <+punkman> and you can move the binary to other machine without having to pull all the boost-dev packages << fwiw, i've never done this ever. should always rebuild binarys on the local environment.
mod6: ok im off and running again
mod6: @ 130k
mod6: shouldn't be too long before i get to where i want to be. i can't even do full sync on this vm anyway. i didnt make the vm disk big enough.

mod6: no
thestringpuller: 0.9.8o is the one installed on the system
mod6: sometimes you do a 'getinfo' and its "busy" doing "SetBestChain" or something similar.
mod6: so just be aware of that -- sometimes it can take a /while/ to respond.
mod6: better to watch `tail -f /path/to/.bitcoin/debug.log` to see whats really actually happening.
mod6: ok 0.9.8o is the version we had problems with too though
mod6: youll know that you've hit the bad tx when you see an error in getinfo like this: "errors" : "WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."
mod6: if you do get that, please give us a pastebin of the 'getinfo' & 'openssl version -a'
mod6: maybe throw a `uname -a` in there as well
mod6: thanks for testing!

BingoBoingo: After smashing my head these past few days through the painful part of the learing process... The software is now working for me instead of I for it.
mircea_popescu: "A similar example is the often cited myth that diagnosis of bipolar disorder is frequently missed. A survey found that 69% of patients were actually misdiagnosed, most often as having regular depression. An average of 4 physicians were consulted “prior to receiving the correct diagnosis.” But who is to say what is the correct diagnosis, when the diagnosis is based on vague and overlapping descriptions (and not
mircea_popescu: on objective pathology?) You can look at this the other way, and say only 1 out of 5 psychiatrists felt it was bipolar disorder, while the other 80% thought it was depression. So it pays to have the last word. Bipolar disorder is “frequently missed” not because it exists and doctors miss it, but because it is defined in a way which allows it, by 80% of doctors, to be legitimately called something else. The onl
mircea_popescu: y way to say the diagnosis was correct or incorrect, in the absence of objective pathology, is to say that the treatment they received for “bipolar disorder” from the fifth doctor was better (read: safer or more efficacious) than the treatment they received from the first four. This is not evident. "
mircea_popescu: fucking gold, this.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is EXACTLY the mechanism through which "80% of rapes are unreported".
mircea_popescu: out of five women that weren't raped, only one runs into idiots spouting insane troll logic that convinces her she retroactively was.
BingoBoingo: Re: bipolar - no one complains about feeling manic until the police get involved. Plenty of people spend lots of money of coffee and bolivian marching poweder trying to come close.
mircea_popescu: which, by proxy, is in point of fact a measure of the social influence / discoursive relevance of the insane trolls in question, and so yes it is a legitimate measure for them to target.
asciilifeform: just like it's not priapism till the fun is over and gangrene starts
mircea_popescu: but this from a machiavellian "how do we become more powerful" troll logic perspective, and spcifically not from a "helping raped women" or "helpiong women" perspective.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo actually in functional family arrangements manic episodes are usually the modern parlance equivalent of what used to be "senile aggitation", ie, granpa keeps grabbing jane's ass.
mircea_popescu: -> thorazine.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think BingoBoingo was referring to the american usage - artist (or compulsive bathroom cleaner, see the old 'meth' thread) who stays awake for two weeks straight on 'manic episode' etc
BingoBoingo: ^ That definition
asciilifeform: except he is didn't need to take the dope
BingoBoingo: American clinical definition
mircea_popescu: that's not what mania is, clinically, is it ?!
mircea_popescu: jesus that place is nuts.
asciilifeform: iirc dsm4,5 - yes

asciilifeform thus had many strange plans, as a young man, for how to narrow the set
mircea_popescu: this is insanity. you want a girl that can be smart, not a girl that can't be stupid, for some arbitrary levels of either. just like you seek a horse that can run quickly, not a horse that is never still.

mircea_popescu: "Remember how in May, 2005, the American Psychiatric Association endorsed same sex marriage? And you applauded the moral fortitude and progressive instinct of this august body? Well, instead of debating whether there should or should not be same-sex marriage, perhaps we should ask what modern psychiatry could possibly contribute to this discussion. The answer is nothing.
mircea_popescu: You can't get away with pat answers, such as psychiatrists see the psychiatric ramifications of discrimination or being unable to marry. There are psychiatric ramifications of bankruptcy, and war, but no one felt compelled to write a policy statement on it (and thank God.)
mircea_popescu: And no, there isn't a difference between bankruptcy and gay marriage-- not to psychiatry. That's the point. These are social problems about which modern psychiatry is definitionally ignorant. The APA did not endorse polygamy. What's the difference? If homosexuality is not a psychiatric disorder, than there is no more reason to be more for or against it than there is for any other kind of marriage. The APA is no better
mircea_popescu: suited to answering these questions than, say, the NFL.
mircea_popescu: What if the NFL came out against antidepressants in children? This is a perfectly valid analogy, because neither the NFL nor psychiatry have special knowledge that make their statements anything more than opinions. What do psychiatrists know about same-sex marriage that the quarterback for the Patriots doesn’t? Don’t laugh—I’m serious. What’s the answer?
mircea_popescu: Medicine, or the APA, can legitimately express a policy only if the policy was grounded in science or logic. Perhaps the APA cares to release this intriguing scientific data? (While it is at it, perhaps it can also release the data supporting the use of half of the medications currently favored by APA Guidelines?) But this seems pretty much business as usual for the APA. Rather than work on its own serious failings,
mircea_popescu: it involves itself in social policy."
mircea_popescu: best.quote.ever.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is why no us pseudoscientific body can be taken seriously to any purpose. especially not to the purpose it supposedly serves.

herbijudlestoids: or whatever that thing was called
asciilifeform: a brick on a rope.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: imho time spent on 0.9.x other than mining for zoological data (mutilations, fixes) is wasted << Indeed shit just doesn't work there as pete_dush discovered
asciilifeform: very quick
asciilifeform: dirty if you drag it on the ground first
asciilifeform: we already had herbijudlestoids's idea, see.
herbijudlestoids: odroid + touchscreen + linux + seahorse
asciilifeform: how about a vax and a vt100.
asciilifeform: why even.
asciilifeform head-desks
herbijudlestoids: the benefit of this is that you can encrypt messages too
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids there's tons of quick and dirty cardanos out there already.
mircea_popescu: the point of this place is cleanliness.
BingoBoingo: Can encrypt from anything. Decrypt and signing are the hard problems
decimation: asciilifeform: it would be amusing if someone were to make an electro-mechanical RSA machine
decimation: like the enigma & "tunny" machines
asciilifeform: decimation: laugh, but i actually considered this.
asciilifeform: decimation: also considered the nearly equally impractical ttl logic variant.
herbijudlestoids: i mean, this device, it can handle decrypt/sign in the same way as cardano, but also add the ability for the user to write and encrypt a message with their key using the touchscreen
assbot: Lorenz cipher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1vsI9iE )
BingoBoingo: Encrypt merely requires pub key.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if nubbins` weren't such a noob, he'd have laser etched a mechanical rsa by now
BingoBoingo: Encrypt from dirty machine and burn it until cleansed
decimation: yeah it would be very difficult to implement without some kind of state machine
asciilifeform: decimation: vernam (otp, xor) is trivial - mechanically or otherwise
asciilifeform: !up herbijudlestoids
herbijudlestoids: assbot hate me
decimation: asciilifeform: aye, that would have its uses too
herbijudlestoids: the thing that worries me about the cardano is upgrades
herbijudlestoids: what if i want to patch it
asciilifeform wishes he had a bitcent for every 'here's how you can make a quick cardano' letter
herbijudlestoids: or whatever
decimation: why on earth would it need to be upgraded?
asciilifeform: herbijudlestoids: what if you want to patch your hypothalamus ?
herbijudlestoids: to add support for new ciphers or something? i dunno
mircea_popescu: you don't patch it, you burn it and get a new one.
herbijudlestoids: if its software based i could theoretically use the same device to interact with other encryption toolsets like nacl or whatever
assbot: China Destroyed Control Chip of Japanese Spy Satellite with Secret Weapon | Tiananmen's Tremendous Achievements ... ( http://bit.ly/1AyHSAS )
asciilifeform: burn, new
asciilifeform: herbijudlestoids: if 'software-based' is what you want, i don't get it, you already own a computer ?
asciilifeform: why even interested in the subject then
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> herbijudlestoids: what if you want to patch your hypothalamus ? << Don't remember if I did this or not.
herbijudlestoids: i want it to be software based, but handheld battery powered, airgapped, single function, etc
mircea_popescu: so buy a laptop
asciilifeform: laptop, palmtop (can get ms-dos!) etc
herbijudlestoids: yeah, im just proposing exactly that except with smaller formfactor hardware and a GUI shell that just runs seahorse or whatever
mircea_popescu: 10 yo laptops are basically the value of the rare metals in them. 20 bux.
assbot: Logged on 10-12-2013 19:28:23; asciilifeform: what you're probably thinking of (or what you will think of, if you think long enough) is: secure terminal. complete with keyboard and display.
herbijudlestoids: or you could buy a brand new odroid for $35
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> laptop, palmtop (can get ms-dos!) etc << Sharp Zarus
mircea_popescu: or that.
asciilifeform: ^ no proper rng in any of the machines discussed here
mircea_popescu: if you can trust their closed stack turd.
asciilifeform: decimation: let's play with the satellite thing
decimation: herbijudlestoids: if you read the logs, you discover several explanations for why what you desire doesn't exist
asciilifeform: decimation: service ceiling of the j20 is, according strictly to rumour, 18km.
herbijudlestoids: well, some of the odroids i know have a hw RNG, but i dont know how adequate it is
asciilifeform: decimation: let's assume that the thing was flying at the ceiling
asciilifeform: let's also assume that the sat was in leo.
decimation: yeah those seem reasonable
asciilifeform: say, 160km.
decimation: that's pretty low, but okay
mircea_popescu: that was a lengthy intro for "let delta = 150km"
asciilifeform: so, 142km between shooter and victim.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: our usg readers may have some trouble with arithmetic, let's help'em
asciilifeform: next, inverse-square law...
decimation: well, I assumed that the 'electromagnetic pulse weapon Poacher One' was not mounted on the j-20 aircraft
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you mean, "the angular projection of a 10 metre target 150 km away" ?
BingoBoingo kinda wants a Mig-25
mircea_popescu: ;;calc 3600 / (150000**2*3.1415)
gribble: 5.09310838771e-08
mircea_popescu: half a millionth.
asciilifeform: decimation: true, i have no idea where it was (if existed)
asciilifeform: assumed - on account of article - on plane.
mircea_popescu: s/mil/bil/
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that would seem silly
asciilifeform: decimation: why? because article claimed 'megawatt for minute'. if on ground, could carry on as long as you like at megawatt
decimation: yeah, I assumed the power would be lulzy for aircraft
asciilifeform: with mircea_popescu's genset trailer
mircea_popescu: a.... megawatt ? rly ?
asciilifeform: supercaps
mircea_popescu: gtfo, do you have ANY IDEA what the air looks like around your megawatt continuous laser ?
mircea_popescu: i can't be the only one that actually fired lasers.
asciilifeform: rayleigh scattering, yes.
asciilifeform: actually is the real limit to laser blaser.
asciilifeform: *blaster
mircea_popescu: how do the intended audience of these articles imagine stuff like plasma is made
mircea_popescu: splendid illustration btw
assbot: Logged on 12-12-2014 00:03:19; asciilifeform: chemically-powered emp bomb is one of those weapons that really fails basic physics, for almost any scenario, but the brass can't ever fall out of love with it
mircea_popescu: moreover, iuf you need 1mw to kill a sat chip you have serious mental issues.
mircea_popescu: there's a monty python sketch about missile hunting mosquitoes.
asciilifeform: satellites don't run away, either
BingoBoingo imagines bowling with a MIG 25
mircea_popescu: if this satellite is a ton of iron, a megawatt OVER A MINUTE will vaporize it.
asciilifeform: megawatt where.
mircea_popescu: it's 60mJ.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on it, supposdely.
decimation: nah if you want emp, you gotta nuke
asciilifeform: yes, it was thrown in a crucible, sure
BingoBoingo: Set up pins on a salt flat, attach 16lb ball to hardpoint. Fly and release
BingoBoingo: !up herbijudlestoids
herbijudlestoids: i identified with gribble still no voice love

mod6: thestringpuller: did you get the error message I told you about in getinfo? [ http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2015#1017438 ]
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2015 15:33:22; mod6: youll know that you've hit the bad tx when you see an error in getinfo like this: "errors" : "WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."
decimation: asciilifeform: http://www.macrofab.net/ << supposedly will make dual layer board with ~50 parts for $57 in two weeks
assbot: MacroFab, Inc. ... ( http://bit.ly/1AyKI8N )
asciilifeform: decimation: qty = ?
mod6: if so, then yes, you hit the bad tx, and then you need to upgrade to openssl 1.0.1g to pass over it.
asciilifeform: nre cost ?
decimation: but it's not clear if that's marketing spin or not, haven't tried
decimation: I guess it is rolled into the price of the whole thing
decimation: if you use their small selection of 'house parts' they do not charge a 'labor' fee
asciilifeform: ^ not terribly useful in my case
decimation: no, not really
decimation: I might give them a spin to see if they really exist

Vexual: Hi all, herbi.
asciilifeform: decimation: iirc we did that scope here
asciilifeform: !s lecroy
assbot: 0 results for 'lecroy' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=lecroy
decimation: no we did a spectrum analyzer
decimation: from agilent
decimation: !s agilent
assbot: 23 results for 'agilent' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=agilent
decimation: and it didn't do 100 ghz
asciilifeform: gonna guess that it works the same way my chinese 200mHz one does
asciilifeform: staggered adc
decimation: that's special $1 mil bezzle
asciilifeform: big phat deal, the cost of three tow trucks.
decimation: asciilifeform: yes, but the real sauce is the sample-and-hold asic
Vexual: ascii that snatch sniffer might work just as well without the batteries if you get the thing close enough.
asciilifeform: not even clear to me that it's overpriced
asciilifeform: Vexual: wai wat ?!
decimation: the input coax is more-or-less directly attached to their custome asci
decimation: asciilifeform: no it isn't really, how many do you think they sell? 10? 100?

decimation: once you cross into > 10 GHz signals you start having to fork over real $$ for test equipment
herbijudlestoids: wasnt there some command you used to be able to run..
herbijudlestoids: i dunno..something like that
herbijudlestoids: i miss that.
mircea_popescu: so it pleases me to report that virtually all links from tlp to various learned repositories of articles are dead.
mircea_popescu: it's not been 10 years.
mircea_popescu: the web is fucking useless.
herbijudlestoids: yea wasnt vince cerf saying that as well recently?
herbijudlestoids: and i read a great article on archive.org about similar issue
