williamdunne: Sorry, you're right
williamdunne: But yes
williamdunne: I can't imagine it will remove many full nodes, just add some nodes
williamdunne: And syncing won't be too effected with headers first, although full sync I guess could take a little longer

williamdunne: Yeah, so they'll both be in the same version together so not really an issue

assbot: Logged on 24-04-2015 10:18:03; williamdunne: Sorry, you're right
mircea_popescu: but yes, broadly speaking the efforts of power rangers are irrelevant to bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: so dun much matter one way or teh other.
williamdunne: Personally I reckon it'll just have more people running semi-nodes, rather than less people running full
williamdunne: Especially as the blockchain is starting to get too big for cheap VPS systems used for most services
mircea_popescu: i imagine what it'll actually lead to is more people with full nodes running longer shitlists of AOL type nodes.

BingoBoingo: I really fail to see much difference between the pruning nodes and the pseudo-nodes
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well that may be because there isn't one.
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Pruning nodes can still validate transactions with recent inputs can they not? Or do they store all inputs. Need to read how it works
williamdunne: *all unspent outputs
williamdunne: Whereas pseudo-nodes just tell everyone everything
mircea_popescu: 'pruning' offers a guarantee that the node won't be able to offer you a block which contains all spent outputs.
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Problem isn't the unspent tx set, it is the blocks
mircea_popescu: which is how it saves space.
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I need to read up on it first before commenting
BingoBoingo: It's hard enough to find sync worthy nodes in the wild as is
mircea_popescu: there isn't anything particularly wrong with the approach, much like there isn't anything wrong with holding up a sign, or drinking a cup of coffee.
mircea_popescu: once people involved start imagining that holding up signs / drinking coffee is relevant to bitcoin, they have somewhat of a problem
mircea_popescu: but considering the rest of the problems they have, to them it's minor, and to us... well we didn't care before, either.
williamdunne: Okay, so from a little reading it does seem that they keep the full unspent TX set. While they can't provide all the blocks to someone who wants everything from the genesis it does seem like a pretty big improvement to me - should see a lot more verifying nodes - no?
mircea_popescu: verifying nodes, yes.
mircea_popescu: this is not particularly useful tho, once you have 10 nodes doing verification, it's done. what's X gonna find that Y does not ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the important function of nodes is storage.
williamdunne: Verifying nodes are good for those that care about accepting unconfirmed tx/s IIRC
mircea_popescu: it's the usg playbook : give more people the illusion of participation, so you can take more control of the underlying processes.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne explain how ? verification doesn't happen faster for having more nodes doing it.
mircea_popescu: it may happen closer to you geographically, but w/e.
williamdunne: Something to do with propogation
mircea_popescu: at best a log.
mircea_popescu: but people who actually care about 0tx are currently in practice and are in theory much better served by just keeping vpn links to actual main nodes.
williamdunne: Thats what most of them do anyway, no? i.e in Electrum
williamdunne: Seems like it can only be beneficial if it moves some away from Electrum and onto verifying nodes
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Electrum just does http/TLS
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a toy, like any other. people learning and kids are more than welcome to their fun, what.
jurov: no it uses stratum/ssl but that's a tech detail
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: They connect to a single node, who you would assume is fairly well connected
BingoBoingo: ty jurov
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: I really don't see how people could use electrum without their own node/server (hug-e pain)

mircea_popescu: turns out the guy was just traveling at the time (was right around the new year).
williamdunne: Ah, so sort of just bad luck?
mircea_popescu: well at that time you couldn't tell what happened. for all you know, nano was usg-kidnapped.
mircea_popescu: wot is a crucial bit of infrastructure, and so it's watched and protected accordingly.
williamdunne: It'd be nice if they could connect, especially as they can still verify the signatures on each.
williamdunne: Yeah I understand why it was done - not criticizing it at all
mircea_popescu: in fairness, prolly a lot more crucial here than in -otc, so some sort of decoupling was probably unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne there was some discussion re making them communicate, but no concrete steps towards gribble becoming able to sign its stuff so far.
mircea_popescu: otherwise it could probably happen in a day.
williamdunne: Yeah not exactly a big software job. Can be done in a few hours if that
mircea_popescu: what i imagine is the case is - nano was planning to make an upgraded gribble for what, coupla years now. he's probably thinking to have it done in one piece.
mircea_popescu: speculating because well, never heard anything specific on the topic.
williamdunne: Kinda pathetic if you've been intending to do something for a couple of years and it still hasn't happened (assuming the only constraint is time)
mircea_popescu: to quote dub, "meatspace can be busy"

BingoBoingo: I'm just surprised at the outrage over calling a woman who traded sex for advantage an applicable label
mircea_popescu: i think the applicable label is "socialite"

pete_dushenski: some of the flows in that poem were awkward to say the least
pete_dushenski: 'every single feather of each single dove' wants to be 'every single feather of every single dove'
mircea_popescu: it's made like a gauntlet for the reader, that's for sure.

williamdunne: Nice to see some civility in the markets
Pierre_Rochard: what’s cringeworthy about those chat messages?
williamdunne: I suppose the "cringe" is about how brazen it was
williamdunne: Like "ooohhh and theres 2.5b gone"
williamdunne: "There is the near entirety of bitcoin's market cap gone"
Pierre_Rochard: also, traders getting blamed for poorly designed “market” mechanisms… I liken it to the stanford prison experiment - what exactly were you expecting?
pete_dushenski: 'don't blame the bankers/jooz'
pete_dushenski: mats: ah wd.
williamdunne: What do "jooz" have to do with it?
pete_dushenski: scapegoat par excellence ?
williamdunne: "COULD WE PLS HAVE A LOW 6MTH FIX TODAY OLD YID?"
Pierre_Rochard: well - some of the execs who designed this certainly deserve blame, some of which may coincidentally be bankers/jooz… all of them likely long retired/dead
Pierre_Rochard: but really I’d cast blame on the lemmings who use LIBOR for everything and anything
pete_dushenski: not sure how much of a coincidence it is that those in positions of influence, who needed to be leveraged by the state and 'the consumers who've come to expect', would be bankers and/or jooz
pete_dushenski: so the state leveraged those of influence, and were leveraged in turn
pete_dushenski: and both grew larger. and larger.
pete_dushenski: and the incentives inherent in large organisations became manifest until we arrived here.

Adlai: let's see what happens in a halving or two :)
Pierre_Rochard: I think it’s an issue today if we take into account NPV calculations - if gavincoin has zero future fee revenue, that has an immediate effect on the expected return of mining over the long run. Not sure that it would move the needle on today’s asic capex

williamdunne: Pierre_Rochard: 1mb blocksize is inelasticity of supply, is it not?
williamdunne: I'm not promoting Gavin's proposal, as it is definitely stupid
williamdunne: But does seem like the block-size will need to increase at some stage(s) if we're to continue growth
Pierre_Rochard: williamdunne: yes, supply inelasticity meets demand inelasticity -> high transaction fees -> high hash rate -> maximize security
danielpbarron: who is caesar?
williamdunne: Pierre_Rochard: But also makes it less appealing. Security isn't the only objective
danielpbarron: when did rome fall? at what point is caesar no longer caesar?
Adlai: davout: both gavincoin and the bitlicense are clouds on the horizon. some people sell coins for raincoats and umbrellas... though they may be wiser to stick a wet finger in the air

ben_vulpes: fuck off and DIE
williamdunne: ben_vulpes: I know you disagree, but I personally would like to see more people/companies/whatevers using bitcoin
davout: Adlai: the bitlicense is to bitcoin what US raw milk regulations are to roquefort, not fucking worth the mention
danielpbarron strongly suspects that the greatest impediment to growth is cleaning up the code
Adlai: williamdunne: and i would like to see the people who _use_ bitcoin paying for its security, rather than the people who hold it
Pierre_Rochard would vote for “time” as the strongest impediment to growth
Adlai: "use" as in "spend"
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: the people i want using bitcoin take one look at the source and run screaming, as they should
Adlai: the security is being paid for one way or another; currently, the main way is inflation
williamdunne: Adlai: We're in agreement there, I'm not suggesting that we're ever to put ourselves in a position where blocks are huge and no-one is paying. I'm just suggesting that 1mb is no way near enough for bitcoin to be bigger than it is today
danielpbarron: that the network could still accidentally fork over a bug is the reason we aren't seeing billions and trillions invested into bitcoin
funkenstein_: i think the point is more people can use bitcoin at any block size.
funkenstein_: it's a different payment model
williamdunne: funkenstein_: Pretty much. I disagree with Gavin because it essentially makes the blocks infinitely large, but I disagree with some people here because 7tx/s doesn't even cover SWIFT payments
Adlai: danielpbarron: well, that can always be the case... we can decrease the perceived risk through simpler code, testing, and more time since the last accidental fork, but yknow, "unknown unknowns"
danielpbarron: williamdunne, you got a lotta log readin' to do
williamdunne: danielpbarron: I'm not suggesting that bitcoin replaces SWIFT just to be clear.. I just meant because it covers giga+ payments
williamdunne: Where fees are the norm
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: stop thinking swift, start thinking halawa
danielpbarron: let the former swift users figure out how to fit through the new hole
Adlai: stop thinking either, start thinking tankers full of gold

jurov: or you came up with this new term - halawa?
ben_vulpes: i thought i was using it correctly
ben_vulpes: ah no hawala
ben_vulpes: i was always under the impression that there was no single hawala network.
ben_vulpes: how could there be? it is of necessity a meatwot thing.
funkenstein_: as i see it these channels will require private TXs, that is given directly to miners, to avoid malleability issues
ben_vulpes: (entirely aside, in a fevered moment of sleeplessness on the plane from bsas i looked into ripping out the nonstandard transaction relay blocking stuff)
jurov: traditional hawala seems to work without much technology, why sudden need to introduce nonstd or private TXs?
ben_vulpes: (subject of, davout how goes the testnet excision? my digs show less than 50 mentions throughout the whole codebase)

funkenstein_: davout, is that all ok and likely to be folded into reference impls?
davout: ben_vulpes: testnet excision is easy, making the genesis block configurable is the harder part, you also need some standalone tool to generate genesis blocks

assbot: Logged on 24-04-2015 15:01:11; williamdunne: Eh, not too concerned about it
mircea_popescu: Overheard over coffee:
mircea_popescu: A. "In some ways, one could argue that our boss fills some roles of the man we are in a relationship with. He supports us financially, ensures we have a safe place to live, and has to accommodate our emotional instability in the work place. Is it really all that unfair of him to expect to enjoy some of the perks of being in a relationship with us, if he so chooses?"
mircea_popescu: B. "I have had sex with almost every boss I’ve ever had. I found myself doing things to please them that I would never do for my husband."
mircea_popescu: C. "I’ve got a habit of fucking my bosses too. They’re in a position of power over me, and for at least part of the day they’re my owners, so they should be able to reap the benefits of that."
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: The reddit police tried to impound this place with a Denial of Service bot, hard to tell if they will be back
mircea_popescu: was it teh reddit police ?

BingoBoingo: They have idea after all
BingoBoingo: Anyways, who is truly to say that reddit wouldn't hire pinkertons for $5.15 an hour

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: key churning started yet ? i kinda wanna peek << not yet. caught something on the plane, spent most of the time since coming home, in bed, in a kind of delirium.
mircea_popescu: well on the plus side it prolly helps your immunity
asciilifeform: also catching up with pet, might end up like xanthyos, l0l
mircea_popescu: !up jonvaage
mircea_popescu: how did he end up ?
asciilifeform: in cock cast, iirc
jonvaage: Thanks. How is everyone?
mircea_popescu: not bad.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe next conf YOU stay home, send her over then she can do all the whores.
jonvaage: Anyone ever play the board game Diplomacy?
mircea_popescu: the last time i played a board game i was 8, and it was "nu te supara frate". alf, did you have this ? you must've.
assbot: Nu te supara frate...private game in birt - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1DIfRUp )
asciilifeform: pretty sure we had this. and that john nash invented it in the '50s
asciilifeform: in usa, where it was forgotten
jonvaage: Looks like "Sorry"
mircea_popescu: well it's not a very good game tbh.
asciilifeform: or was it 'hex'
mircea_popescu: anyway, apparently it was printed as early as the 20s
asciilifeform did not really play anything like this since early boyhood, was a semiserious chess-head for some years, then turned into very mediocre go/weichi/baduk (surprised how many folks are unable to identify it given only one of jp/cn/kr names) player
mircea_popescu: i kinda play go now and again as part of foreplay.
asciilifeform: me: 'which chess piece feels best?' woman: 'the board'
mircea_popescu: and now we understand why davout plays the cello.
asciilifeform: aha go as foreplay - do captured stones end up 'in' ?
mircea_popescu: has been known to occur.
mircea_popescu: all sorts of things can end up in. like, a can's worth of peas.
mircea_popescu very naively went to a go friendly tournament in timisoara once, not realising that... kids.
mircea_popescu: they made me play with a very prepubescent 11 yo girl.
mircea_popescu: i... had to leave.
asciilifeform: mega-l0l
assbot: Last 3 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/0V2NPMZ.txt )
asciilifeform: it is actually one of those things, like ballet, where the best minds are the one prepubertally-deformed
mircea_popescu: yeah well, i'm not such a great fan of "competitive" humans.
asciilifeform: the games are interesting (to an aficionado) to read.
mircea_popescu: the prima ballerina was never the best ballerina, at least to my taste.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the subpoena concerned their ssl signing key
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was precisely because they did not have anything else suitable for owning the userbase

assbot: So who's running the Courts circus ? on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1DIkkGF )
mircea_popescu: "I only have the keys that govern communications into and out of the network, and those keys are used to secure the traffic for all users, not just the user in question."
asciilifeform: well yeah, the ssl cert
asciilifeform: they wanted to mitm the whole thing
asciilifeform: because it was the only way to get the snowden crap out
mircea_popescu: it's not very clear, but perhaps your reading is correct
asciilifeform: this, incidentally, is the core reason why in-browser crypto is intrinsically harmful
mircea_popescu: seems kinda contorted, the ssl key is used to "secure" pgp'd info ?
asciilifeform: rather than the overall poor hygience of the ecosystem
mircea_popescu: which is "this" ?
asciilifeform: the ssl key was the only way for the schmucks/users to know that they are connecting to levison's box and getting the js they thought they were getting
asciilifeform: rather than an identical but key-returning one
mircea_popescu: umm... no ?
mircea_popescu: schmucks can just keep a copy of yest's js and DIFF IT!!11
mircea_popescu: what, this is not sop ? because why ?
asciilifeform: if you know how to use 'diff' - you are not a schmuck
asciilifeform: and don't need browser-crypto for anything
mircea_popescu: convenience.
asciilifeform: convenience is the mother of calamity

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu leads us to an interesting observation - that no www browser ever made any kind of provision for ensuring that you are running a particular known copy of a js proggy
asciilifeform: though this may be for the same reason why no public toilet includes knives and forks
mircea_popescu: actually, this is trivial to do.
asciilifeform: of course trivial
mircea_popescu: basically an equiv of adblocker,
mircea_popescu: just have it use your own file for js instead of the one linked by server.
asciilifeform: homework-grade proggy.
asciilifeform: who wants - go, write.
mircea_popescu: well site first.
asciilifeform: of course, when the browser is pwned (and all modern graphical browsers are good for one or two public total-demolition pwnholes every quarter or so) the keys are out.
asciilifeform: hygiene is a thing.
asciilifeform: it is good for you. (to a degree)
Pierre_Rochard: ^ I’m surprised it’s not a bigger attack vector for online banking hijacks (or is it? unfamiliar with ~ cyber crime ~)

mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard places that are serious about online banking mandate use of ie 10! and they get their sexurity as activex implants!
mircea_popescu: (this may sound like a joke. it is actually fact.)
asciilifeform: in kr - mandatory.
asciilifeform: and look into why - will blow your mind, guaranteed.
mircea_popescu: exaclty.
asciilifeform: (their local version of nsa is so impoverished that '80s-grade castrato keys must be used. the only way to achieve this is custom winblows code, rather than microshit's normal crypto api even. hence activex/exploder mandate.)
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: here’s a joke for you - I run a WinXP 32 bit VM so that I can use 32 bit IE8 so that I can access online bank
Pierre_Rochard: only version that’s compatible
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard i've never used "online banking".

mircea_popescu: i do have some acct manager ppl who are technically bank clerks that i contact via pgp, which is a greast improvemnent over phone and i have nfi how they get into the systems
