ben_vulpes: decimation: now is when i confess to a quarter-implemented blockchain->relational db importer
ben_vulpes: attn aspiring asseteers!
ben_vulpes: if you had the whole blockchain querieable in postgres, you could infer account balances in the usual fashion and sell reads over a pg connection
decimation: yeah, or any relational database
decimation: like bdb for instance
ben_vulpes: has anyone verified the full chain as puked out from asciilifeform's `shitblock`?
shinohai: I just now got connected to mp's node so i guess i got to start over
ben_vulpes: huh bdb is actually relational?
ben_vulpes: i was under the impression that it was either not relational or was only being used in bitcoind as a kv store
ben_vulpes: p. sure the transaction indices were tossed for space saving reasons aka shitgnomery
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 37900 @ 0.00050923 = 19.2998 BTC [+]
decimation: ah you are right, it isn't relational, it's just a key value hash
ben_vulpes: fucking kv stores
decimation: I can see 'saving space' for the transactional table, but why also keep the blockchain in binary form?
ben_vulpes: i've lost weeks, months of my life to the unqueriability of mongo and phriendz
decimation: I suspect satoshi intended on making a transactional database using the block .dat files at a later date
ben_vulpes: the whole thing should be in sqlite at the very least
decimation: shitgnome bitcoin devs never bothered apparently
ben_vulpes: but perhaps there's a good reason for writing the blocks directly to disk that i'm not grasping
decimation: yeah I don't grasp it either
decimation: other than 'wanting a backup copy'
ben_vulpes does not see the problem with hashing values queried directly out of the db
decimation: or using it to feed another tool, like has been accomplished
decimation: mongo is the hotness these days
ben_vulpes: if you're storing as the appropriate ints, floats, doubles, strings etc
ben_vulpes: you can even derp the raw binary into pg if you're so inclined
ben_vulpes: decimation: i'm finally seeing the tide receed from mongo's highwater
ben_vulpes: recede
decimation: yeah, there are situations where 'nosql' is appropriate, but plenty of situations where you want structured queries too
ben_vulpes: no man
ben_vulpes: i've yet to see the real world problem that a nosql db was actually the right solution to that wasn't actually a cacheing/cdn problem
ben_vulpes: (and even that can be handled by mother postgres at rather high efficiencies these days)
decimation: the only situation I can imagine is if you have a gigantic pile of disorganized data, that probably has a structure
decimation: nosql can be used to sort through your shit into a proper db
decimation: or if you are trying to be google
ben_vulpes: dude if it has a hint of structure it belongs in a relational db
ben_vulpes: otherwise you're going to start running the kind of braindamaged queries your 'nosql' layer support and then glomming it all together into something representing a query in application code
decimation: well, yeah that's the real-world situation.
ben_vulpes: much like any c project eventually grows a miserable half-assed implementation of an eighth of common lisp any nosql project eventually tries to implement relational alggebra
decimation: I'm suggesting an intermediate step where you query your nosql db properly and place the results into a structured relational db
decimation: but yeah I bet most people using 'nosql' just want caches
ben_vulpes: and because none of them were designed for that in the first place because a) it's hard and b) fucking retards write nosql stores for hackernooz points the algebraic layer turns out to never actually work. or it locks everything up while running queries that a real db would plan handle like a boss

decimation: ^ also note most people are unwilling to pay for something who knows how to db

ben_vulpes: man you can get a sql user (not an expert, mind you, but someone who understands it has used it and can avoid common retardations) at half time for approximately half the cost of some hotshit "full stack developer" who thinks mongo's a good idea
ben_vulpes: you'll spend less, they'll work less, and your systems will be vastly better for not having mongo in them
decimation: I would pay more for someone who didn't know how to program 'front-end'

pete_dushenski: decimation: besides, not like usafricanz are expensive labour. at least not within a decade

decimation: pete_dushenski: the problem is that usg bids up the price of otherwise servant labor
ascii_field: most expensive in the world

decimation: usg wisely punishes you for working and rewards you for not
pete_dushenski: decimation: ascii_field until people will take 'room and board' as compensation
pete_dushenski: what minimum wage law can stop that arrangement ?
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: not sure this will show any symptoms of happening any time prior to the die-off
decimation: why would they when they can make $30-60k for being 'poor'
funkenstein_ is looking for such a room and board position
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: which die-off would this be now ?
pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: so many are !
ascii_field: anyway, 99+% of usa ALREADY works for room & board !
decimation: well, I was thinking of when all value passes through the bitcoin hole
ascii_field: it is just done indirectly
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: bullshit you do no such thing.
decimation: ascii they give a little walking-around money too
ascii_field: approximately
pete_dushenski: room & board means ONLY ROOM & BOARD
pete_dushenski: there are no approximations here
pete_dushenski: certainly not ones off by 10%+
ascii_field: in that case, even in auschwitz folks didn't work for 'only room and board'
funkenstein_: well that escalated quickly
pete_dushenski: well, they worked to not be shot in back of head.
ascii_field: not quite
decimation: plus room and board
ascii_field: money existed

ascii_field: which could in turn be traded
ascii_field: this is amply described in the literature
pete_dushenski: still covered under 'room & board' and still circumvents minimum wage fucktardery as presented
pete_dushenski: so yes, auschwitzians lived under room & board arrangement, and no, you do not, ascii_field
ascii_field: anyway, i reason in categories
trinque: pete_dushenski: I had this notion regarding the bums all over portland, that someone should take them to nearby farms for day labor in exchange for meals, showers, and somewhere to be warehoused at night.
trinque: it'd be a vast improvement for their lives
ascii_field: if i'm not paid enough to 'reallocate capital' - to borrow mircea's terminology - than i am in same category as the 'room & board' folks
pete_dushenski: trinque: most certainly. sounds like a swell idea to me.
funkenstein_: Room and board are limited resources. Dorrars, not so much. Countereiters don't control food and bedding.
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: you buying a case of z80s or pogos is reallocating capital
pete_dushenski: however minor
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: capital in the sense of machine-that-lets-you-eat-without-working
ascii_field: not in the sense of my shoes
ascii_field: and shirt
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: this comes back again to the amount of $$$ you imagine is needed to 'eat like king'
pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: to the extent that the federal reserve is a counterfeiter, they most certainly control food (monsanto) and bedding (housing bubble)
funkenstein_: only in so much as farmers and homeowners accept their counterfeits
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: if you believe that i'm overpaying for something, i'd like to hear - for what

shinohai: *don't
mircea_popescu: ascii_field in practice this may not be a problem. the gavincoin insanities aside, growing by 300 bytes every ten minutes may well be sustainable indefinitely into the future.
mircea_popescu: i suspek computing is moving towards joint ram/disk anyway.
mod6: yeah, that's what i was saying before: leave your v0.5.3.1-RELEASE as-is. Then setup a new environment to give the "stator" build a try -- is pre-patched, so should be able to compile and run, or if your slightly more daring, just run the included pre-compiled (by alf) binary (ensure to check sigs first!)
shinohai: kk but the whole reason I want to do this is so I can try the new patches by ascii_field, the blockdump
mod6: sure, ok. so what we'll need to do (and even I haven't tried patching those in myself yet) is to extract the stator, then apply the patches.
mats: that'll be interesting when the dichotomy vanishes. linux has been adding support for persistent memory afaik

mod6: ahhh
mod6: can you point me to the web-archive you're using? just curious.

funkenstein_: "southern pride" spamming qntra in an effort to discredit the site methinks
phf: mod6: well, lets say you have something like mutt open with the current email. it's pretty easy to write a script that takes current email and feeds it to an external script, that splits out patch, verifies it with the provided sig, and then applies it to the codebase (or pushes it into some queue of patches as a case may be). i.e. you read the email, push "p" to do everything for you, and then move on to the next email
mod6: ok, i like mutt :]
mod6: are you asking me to write an email client script?
mod6: basically, instead of me making a whole bunch of different one-off scripts for peoples seperate clients and whatever stack they've got, I just create one script that will patch in & verify all the scripts at once. usually after I've tried and tested them all myself, peronsally.
mod6: But I've only started scratching the surface with alf's latest, so this hasn't been done yet. All of these are still in my "Highly Experemental" category. AKA: use at your own risk.

mod6: ascii_field: i did have a problem with it a number of days ago when I first tried it, but it was just an environment related issue. this build, I literally just did it, worked fine.
mod6: ah ok
trinque: I wanna do some gcov work this weekend
mod6: and trinque, did you hvae that -fPIC issue on gentoo with uClibC? that's the same error I was talking about all last month and in the SoBA
trinque: yeah but this is glibc
trinque: my lappy
mod6: ah hmm
mod6: so phf brings to light a good point, reading through the email list, especially if you haven't read the b-a logs from oct-14 on is probably more than a bit hard to follow. ascii_field brings up a good point about having a 'family tree'
mod6: there are a number of different directions these emails go in; patching for v0.5.3.1, pogotronic, gentoo, etc, etc. so I'll try my best to make this apparent when I write up a patch list, etc.
mod6: i'm not sure what to do about this as far as the email list is concerened, yet.
ascii_field: mod6: i kinda assumed you and ben_vulpes would roll the patch sequence docs into releases
ascii_field: (iirc this was the case in 5.3.1 actually)
mod6: yah. we would certainly put all the patches applied to a specific baseline into RELEASE_NOTES.txt as it was for v0.5.3.1
jurov: phf, if you can make better patchlist, are you willing to contribute your script?
shinohai: That would be the easiest, releases
mod6: but pre-milestone release, it does get hard to follow. and since I do believe it'll still be some time before we get the next milestone cut, I should prepare some sort of document so individuals can help test. (we very much appreciate the enthusiasm and the help!)
shinohai: I have little better that piques the imagination
mod6: anyway, we'll get there.

phf: i was actually taking a harder position, if somebody wants to follow along they should read the mailing list from the beginning, and having it all accessible in one place for offline reading helps

mircea_popescu: the french just started using it cca 1800 as if, and nobody really discussed the matter.

ascii_field believes that we already have pretty large blocks
decimation: go to blockchain.info and watch the waterfall of txns
mircea_popescu: ascii_field get a load of this : three days of random, odd internet behaviour, discussed here publicly, which then went away by itself. i did nothing to the server, i asssume neither did you.
mircea_popescu: what is this magic /
shinohai: No, mircea_popescu it has actually been faster than when I previously synced, less memory footprint ramwise
mircea_popescu: i would expect a stuttering engine to go on stuttering until discarded.
kakobrekla: the truth be this or that, if the majority of miners takes up big blocks pogos and company is phucked
decimation: maybe it was the work of the volunteer diggers in san francisco
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i welcome the verification of this theory in the field.
decimation: kakobrekla: that's why the reference implementation ought to be written to appeal to miners
mats: yes, a model with 8mb and 20mb blocks would be interesting
mircea_popescu: i imagine so would you : a bankrupt field of miners best chance to buy cheap mining rigs for a long time

decimation: kakobrekla: exactly, which is why they would use whatever other people say is good
mircea_popescu: and that somehow is by selling what they mine.
mircea_popescu: so yes, zombies. just, make sure you identify the necromancer driving them correctly
kakobrekla: they are getting spammed with 'bitcoin upgrades' as we speak
kakobrekla: my guess is most wont have a second thought.

mircea_popescu: the mass slaughter of a large contingent of people who act as if "doing what everyone else does is safe", and who lose millions at it is the best thing that can happen.

mod6: and here:
mircea_popescu: last i heard davout was looking for ways to programatically exploit the shitcoin
decimation: kakobrekla: what do you mean about 'having blockchain dead'
kakobrekla: having a chain with a gazillion difficulty and no to little miners on it
decimation: I find the probability of that happening to be very low
kakobrekla: the switch happens when there is 90% of miners on the new chain (determined by checking last n blocks rolling window)
kakobrekla: when this happens there already is such condition as i described give or take
kakobrekla: and the even bringing that percentage even higher as some give up.

asciilifeform: they don't really do much good in a 'civilian' bitcoin node, though
asciilifeform: more for laboratory work.
decimation: asciilifeform: it's lulzy that they regulate the shit of out freon for hvac, but use in fire extinguishers?
decimation: seems like co2 would be useful for many situations
punkman: ok, stator compiled successfully I think, anyone wanna give me a node IP?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 107000 @ 0.00050961 = 54.5283 BTC [-] {3}
decimation: the 'realpath' thing is hilarious
decimation: why do half the distros use it, others use readlink
trinque: mod6: thank you sir
trinque: I'm going to grab some food, then read up on gcov
mod6: ok cool
mod6: no prob
DanyAlos: Sorry for the sudden change of topic:
DanyAlos: I was looking for #bitcoin-assets on this search engine (http://irc.netsplit.de/channels), and realized that it is not listed. Is there any particular reason for not being there?

asciilifeform: decimation: co2 extinguishers, are, interestingly, very expensive (largely on account of their size. you need a great lot of it)
asciilifeform: also thermal shocks machinery
punkman: asciilifeform: it's working, good job on the stator
asciilifeform: punkman: it's an interim thing. still need to shoot glibc in the head
punkman: it complained about getaddrinfo, that's to be expected then?
asciilifeform: yes. but it never gets called in bitcoin
asciilifeform: (not in the dns-free variant)
punkman: yeah I tried to find it in the src, nothing there
asciilifeform: something in 'boost' theoretically can invoke it, or rather - gcc is too dumb to know that it will never happen
asciilifeform: so it whines
asciilifeform: and puts a null stub there
mats: DanyAlos: this channel has the flag +s, and so it is unlisted
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1186324 << very good for folks reading patches. but remember, the patches ~are~ the canonical patches...
assbot: Logged on 04-07-2015 02:30:46; punkman: updated my mirror with thermonuke branch https://github.com/extempore/real-bitcoin/commits/thermonuke
punkman: yeah I don't pull back from github, only push
asciilifeform: so long as it is used as a 'graphical diff', oughta be harmless
decimation: I'm syncing static node with some random ip, to see if I get the same blkxxxx.dat results
decimation: one of them on mircea's list
asciilifeform: the hash list ?
decimation: no his trilema post
decimation: asciilifeform: did we do a thread on 'headers only' block data?
asciilifeform: mentioned on several occasions
decimation: it occurs to me that it would be useful to broadcast a digest of a block in addition to the actual block data
decimation: mainly for users on bandwidth constrained channels
asciilifeform: that'd be the header, no ?
decimation: I guess.
asciilifeform: node already has option of asking for those
asciilifeform: it is part of the protocol
decimation: ah, I will read the code
asciilifeform: what i think would be considerably more useful is a provision for 'programmable checkpoints'
decimation: For something like shortwave broadcast, this is what you would want
asciilifeform: that is, an ascii file similar to my sums.txt.gz
asciilifeform: signed with pgp, verified by user, dropped in .bitcoin
decimation: aye, that would be useful for a 'starter pak' node
DanyAlos: mats: Thx
decimation: one wonders why this hasn't been done already, seems an obvious fix to 'node takes forever to sync'
asciilifeform: won't make'em sync any faster
asciilifeform: but will discourage some of the more hamfisted kinds of shitgnomery
decimation: oh you just mean the sums
decimation: yeah okay, that would be useful for double-checking chain integrity yes
decimation: for the headers thing, I'm imagining a scenario where someone is waiting for a transaction to clear
decimation: it would be useful to know when a new block is found, so you can ask your peers for a copy
asciilifeform: what's wrong with the old-fashioned 'inv' ?
decimation: I suppose if a peer is available, you could do that. but then you are only trusting one node's say
decimation: imagine three frequencies with three different nodes around the world, all with agreement on headers
decimation: at any rate, I'm imagining ways to sew parachutes before they are needed
asciilifeform: when else.
decimation: unfortunately with the effective bandwidth needed by the current blockchain makes global synchronization quite expensive
decimation: and internet-dependent
decimation: weird, the last four blocks had no transactions
asciilifeform: this may well be one of those things that can be made 'as simple as possible but not simpler'
asciilifeform: <decimation> weird, the last four blocks had no transactions << betcha somebody's playing with the 'tx selector' thing
asciilifeform: and botched horribly
decimation: I guess as long as they find a block that matches difficulty it will be valid
decimation: it would sure make it simpler to devise a big asic machine to find hashes if it doesn't need to bother with transactions
asciilifeform: not really
decimation: although you would give up on fees
asciilifeform: given the merkle tree thing, tx's don't really add to the load
decimation: ah yeah good point
asciilifeform: but it would stand to reason that miners will eventually exert more tx fee pressure
asciilifeform: perhaps this is already happening.
decimation: the big blocks are running nearly a mb or so
asciilifeform: at any rate, various folks have mined empties before. afaik, it is not publicly known precisely why.
asciilifeform: decimation: bozos are stuffing'em full of garbage tx, in an attempt to prop up gavinism
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 90320 @ 0.00051341 = 46.3712 BTC [-] {2}

punkman: didn't those guys want 8mb blocks?
asciilifeform kinda wants a wall-sized callgraph of therealbitcoin
asciilifeform: nubbins` ^^^
decimation: asciilifeform: I've tried printing such things before, even on a big plotter the results are disappointing
asciilifeform: how come ?
decimation: plotter is usually limited to 4 ft rolls I think
decimation: so you gotta make multiple passes
asciilifeform: local printery has 4ft inkjets
decimation: sure, but you gotta spend time massaging the graph into something legible even at that size
decimation: what comes out of 'dot' tends to be fucktarded with complex graphs
asciilifeform: so far i'm utterly failing to even get 'codeviz' to build.
asciilifeform: it seems to insist on downloading an ancient gcc and fails
asciilifeform: mod6, ben_vulpes ^^^ who wants to try
decimation: to be clear, my experience is mainly with feeding dot such things, not from codeviz
asciilifeform: i want the fucking callgraph
asciilifeform: on my wall
asciilifeform: tired of looking at the thing through a keyhole
decimation: I think you can massage valgrind to dump callgraph
asciilifeform: want static callgraph
asciilifeform: rather than one which depends on a walk
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6, ben_vulpes ^^^ who wants to try << i might be able to give it a go later this weekend ... maybe.
decimation: as in, all possible routes into and out of functions?
mod6: any idea how old of a version is required?
asciilifeform: mod6: it's 4.something but dies because not found on the gnu ftp
assbot: egypt - create call graph from gcc RTL dump ... ( http://bit.ly/1NCXWVC )
asciilifeform: not tried yet.
mod6: ah, i can give it a go with something as old as like 4.5.4 for sure.
assbot: KCachegrind ... ( http://bit.ly/1NCXYgf )
mod6: maybe even 4.0.4 (if it'll build)
asciilifeform: ^ refuses to build on my boxes also
asciilifeform: qt retardation
mod6: as always :]
decimation: the egypt thing appears to have limited support for C++
cazalla: apparently network forked or some business
assbot: F2Pool is not properly validating blocks, their fork is winning temporarily. SPV clients and Blockchain.info are inaccurate : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1Kzrh5m )
punkman: shitgnomes strike again?
decimation: why are they 'inaccurate'
mats: o calamity
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10653 @ 0.00051757 = 5.5137 BTC [+]
decimation: it does seem blockchain.info and insight.bitpay.com have two different chains
punkman: "BIP66 protocol rule changes have gone active in part thanks to Antpool and F2Pool's support of it - but their pool appears to not actually be enforcing the new rules, and is now mining invalid blocks."

mircea_popescu: sooo... we splitted hjuh ?

mircea_popescu: i see 736 throughout
mats: it stalls
decimation: and apparently several folks fucked it up too
decimation: so this 'IsSuperMajority' code is totally absent in 0.5.3.1
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> they'd just all happen to be employees of the house. << if you only divulge winning tickets you get the natural occurence of winners + extras.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: anybody interested in multiprocessorizing bitcoin sig check ? << i don't see the benefit.
mircea_popescu: decimation old nodes are all fine.
mircea_popescu: apparently new nodes are all shit.
mircea_popescu: news at 12:55, which happens to be the time here.
mod6: heheh
decimation: do they reject 0.5.3.1 blocks because the nVersion = 1?
mircea_popescu: <assbot> Raising Darwin's Consciousness << all this "consciousness" bs reads to me like direct pastiche from "class consciousness" or however that nonsense was translated to english
mircea_popescu: i don't run one so nfi what its problem would be. ion all likeliness something stupid.
mats: looking forward to seeing the post mortem in the morning
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> of the active users. << well, like a dozen or so people, spent a month in game last month. so like, 2 hrs / day or somesuch
mats: and hopefully discount coins
mircea_popescu: heh we actually are forked nao. i dun see any such 738
