trinque: processing incoming barf from other nodes, yes?
trinque: does it then write all messages to the db then start processing them?
decimation: I can't enumerate them all, but the network code, for instance, runs in a different thread than the db code for instace
trinque: I'm reading through the code, just trying to prime on whatever knowledge is handy
decimation: I'm not sure on that point, would need to read the code
punkman: you gotta read BDB code for those locks
punkman: "Blockchain.info is currently down for maintenance. For status updates please see Twitter. Apologies for any inconvenience. "

punkman: BingoBoingo: so you have an unwedged 0.5.3?
asciilifeform: they're all firmly wedged
BingoBoingo: punkman: Unwedged 0.7-ish stator still isn't anywhere near this sync'd yet
asciilifeform: but i see nothing suggesting a db-related reason for it
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: record setting numbers of transactions in blocks
asciilifeform: but the conclusion does not follow
punkman: danielpbarron: > Db::put: Cannot allocate memory << it's a bdb problem
BingoBoingo: Follows same way as in March 2013

decimation: "They also pointed out that the aircraft is still under development and that full production is not scheduled until 2019, 17 years after the program’s inception. And they wondered whether the Pentagon really need 2,443 of the planes “in light of countervailing pressure to reduce force structure to conserve resources.”"
decimation: as usual usg claims success early and often
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: grepping ~9GB of log takes a while...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I just upped the DB shit to 80000, backed up my blockchain, and recompiled
BingoBoingo: was very slow to eat 51, but it did
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is there a particular reason we didn't set that knob to maxint ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I think we just copied that number from some patch Luke-Jr pointed us to
asciilifeform: i mean, wtf is with this hardcoded limit retardation
asciilifeform: is it 1974 and we are at ibm, in fortran ?
asciilifeform: and lists can be 500 members long
BingoBoingo: Kinda we are
asciilifeform: i mean, yes, i haven't turned my death ray on db.cpp yet
asciilifeform: because - it worked
BingoBoingo: And then it didn't
BingoBoingo: !up Luke-Jr
asciilifeform will answer when the greps output
Luke-Jr: asciilifeform: that's (partly) why we moved to LevelDB ;)
BingoBoingo: !down Luke-Jr

danielpbarron: hahahahaha
trinque: asciilifeform | BingoBoingo: is there a particular reason we didn't set that knob to maxint ?
trinque: again, what is it doing locking that many records at once?!?!
trinque: at least in this conversation we *are* talking about databases; the above is insanely shit
trinque: 40k of what
trinque: point me at it and I'll go kill
trinque: I modeled this thing with ben_vulpes one day on a whiteboard; the blockchain is not an impossibly complex data structure

asciilifeform: in the fucking source
asciilifeform: there are set_lk_max_locks

asciilifeform: and set_lg_max.
mircea_popescu: in the source of who ?
mircea_popescu: it's a bdb thing.
mircea_popescu: DB_CONFIG is a bdb config not a bitcoind config.
punkman: bitcoind does some bdb config
mircea_popescu: so it does yes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it exists!
asciilifeform: what value didja use for it?
mircea_popescu: lol what, you thought i thought it didn't ?
mircea_popescu: same as objects, for no good reason.
asciilifeform: thought it might be unique to mircea_popescu's pdpcoin
mircea_popescu: im not that snowflakey.
mircea_popescu: (might be a good reason but i forget if i ever knew)

asciilifeform: i don't see an lg_max here

mircea_popescu: can't run such on a tiny system tho, obv.
asciilifeform: i'm not seeing any increase in baseline footprint
mircea_popescu: iirc bdb just makes assumptions about what memory it may allocate and dies at the later time if they get contradicted
mircea_popescu: so you wouldn't see it now.

BingoBoingo: lol bc.i fixed their shit and got constipated again
mircea_popescu: because they're running "the newest version" which "always works". in the sense of not.
BingoBoingo forgot that when you change versioning this whole thing wants rebuilt again
mircea_popescu: whereas proper bitcoin as released by actual foundation doth in fact always work.
BingoBoingo: I just have to wonder what idiocy is going to break everything the first weekend of September
BingoBoingo: This is 2 months in a row. Not quite a pattern, but almost one

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: are you still using a random phoundation turd instead of therealbitcoin for your measurements ?
mircea_popescu: he was on 7.2 iirc
BingoBoingo: Random turd. Could be OpenBSD memory handling weird
mircea_popescu: lol now my node is getting teh silent intertubes treatment

mircea_popescu: i dunno where erryone else shops for intertubes that work
asciilifeform: at the very least, ought to have ciphered 24/7 circuits between the reptilia supernodez
BingoBoingo: At least I killed the orphanages earlier this week
BingoBoingo went from fairly stable 224-236 MB of ram usage to a very flat 986 MB the very flat makes me suspect OpenBSD weird
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: much depends on mempool
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i routinely see factor of 3-7 variations between my nodez
BingoBoingo: most of my debug.log is not allowing shit into mempool because insufficient fee
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i suspect obds SANE. ie, it forces the allocation.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i suspect obds SANE. ie, it forces the allocation. << It does for most things.
mircea_popescu: if my suspect is true, this very neatly shows openbsd as a superior os.
mircea_popescu: in this particular case, allocation should be forced.
BingoBoingo: Well malloc() tends to aggressively try to keep shit from running into each other
mircea_popescu: malloc or any other mechanism has no way out of "gimme 900mb" "only 600 here" "but you promised"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: malloc is dumb as ox : either ptr to the 900, or null.
asciilifeform: nothing more to it
mircea_popescu: right you are.
mircea_popescu: "gimme 900mb" "null" "but you promised"

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla interesting. tho i don't get enough from that article to figure out how the fuck it'd work
mircea_popescu: "Following more than a decade of research and development, 3D XPoint technology was built from the ground up to address the need for non-volatile, high-performance, high-endurance and high-capacity storage and memory at an affordable cost."
mircea_popescu: i mean what the shit is this even.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was built from the clouds down, honestly.
mircea_popescu: thanks intel for setting my heresy straight.
kakobrekla: dunno but apparently they have working wafers
mircea_popescu: !up letstrythis
mircea_popescu: good for 'em... i wonder if this is the glass thing being discussed for the past year
mircea_popescu: only real clue being the "non volatile" part
kakobrekla: good part seems to be that you can manipulate a single bit unlike flash.
mircea_popescu: seems mindblowing, non volatile yet non rom.
mircea_popescu: oh this is resistive memory.
mircea_popescu: prolly hafnium oxide, which should make the world situation ever more interesting.
mircea_popescu: this century will be the rare earths century.
mircea_popescu: (brazil and australia pretty much own the known hf supply atm). in any case, pretty fucking weird that goldbugs and silverheads still insist with their "precious" metals. they're useless. pm freaks of 2015 really should collect hf. cerium. lanthanum. europium. etc.
decimation: gold makes excellent electrical contacts
mircea_popescu: europium phosphates for instance are still to this day the only way to get a decent red.
decimation: silver is pointless as a monetary metal - too common with too many reserves
mircea_popescu: except electric contacts are not really where the cut lies atm. optic interactions (hence hafnium - ever seen an ingot with the microflim effect btw ?)
mircea_popescu: and dielectric properties.
mircea_popescu: those are the two main things.
mircea_popescu: prolly should say "dielectric secondary properties".
decimation: yes, this is true. you need a supply of gold for electronics certainly, but it need not be huge
mircea_popescu: and it need not be gold.
mircea_popescu: for instance - platinum's even better.
decimation: yeah you can use aluminium to bond wires
decimation: silver too
mircea_popescu: or doctored graphite
mircea_popescu: it's just not a bottleneck atm. sure, maybe it will become. who knew, in the 60s, that mountain pass thing in pasadena would be the most strategically important place in all the us.
decimation: apparently palladium coated copper is used too
decimation: gold is nice because it doesn't oxidize, just sits
mircea_popescu: sure, nice.

mircea_popescu: nobody yet wanted to be africa and failed to get its wish.

decimation: it looks like it was built to golden toilet standards, it'll be interesting to see how profitable it is
mircea_popescu: it is actually not unreasonable to overspend on sustainability when building a mine.
decimation: the challenge with rare earths isn't finding them or digging them up, it's sorting them and processing them
decimation: well, the us has lots of experience with blotted landscapes due to mining
mircea_popescu: yes. the fact that they can't currently be extracted efficiently from electronics scrap speaks volumes.
mircea_popescu: otherwise ocean extraction would almost be practicable.
mircea_popescu: the trawlers that pretty much took all the fish, 1965-2015 can be refurbished to suck out the rare earths too, 2015-2065.
decimation: heh, or if we go 'full fission' U also
mircea_popescu: i doubt you'll ever be able to put up your gf's butt something that was inside a reactor core during your lifetime.
decimation: yeah, it's one of those 'we could safely use nuclear to supply electricty to everyone but we don't because reasons' situation
mircea_popescu: well in this case the reasons seem to be more like, "because it will kill you painfully."
decimation: heh no
decimation: who died because of fukashima?
mircea_popescu: you're not serious are yo u?
decimation: yes, who died?
decimation: fission is by far the safest method of electricity production
mircea_popescu: is this a rehash of the entire russian song and dance about how "nobody died at chernobyl" ?
mircea_popescu: at least a dozen people died the first week.

assbot: Ch 24 Page 168: Sustainable Energy - without the hot air | David MacKay ... ( http://bit.ly/1IBxeNw )
mircea_popescu: fission may well be the safest method of electricity production. that's not in discussion. a large part of WHY it is the safest involves not sticking bits of a reactor core inside you.
decimation: eh, as long it's just a little bit you'll be okay
mircea_popescu: (i have the math done on the difference between being exposed to a meltdown outside and being exposed to ingested material, if the obvious difference's aren't obvious i can dig it up)
mircea_popescu: but it boils down to the simple fact that if you're a mile away your share of the sphere surface is tiny, whereas if you're surrounding the item, your share's 100%. distance is a much better insulator than mass, because distance goes into the formula ^3. and consequently you're better off a mile away from a ton's worth of criticality than with a gram of the stuff in your colon.

mircea_popescu: decimation the idea was that somehow you create the hafnium you use in your laptop through a fission process that happened during your lifetime.
mircea_popescu: that's what i was answering to.
decimation: ah yes that's a different matter
decimation: probably not gonna happen
decimation: I was pointing out that if you are gonna such halfnium from seawater, might as well get some U too
mircea_popescu: that's all i was saying really. making your own rare metals may work, but it won't be this century.
mircea_popescu: then i misunderstood what you were proposing.
mircea_popescu: i thought you wanted it made the only way we know how to create elements atm.

mircea_popescu: the x per day bla bla figure is spurious. obviously there's a shitton of energy there. the problem is we don't yet have the filters.
mircea_popescu: but yes, perhaps getting there.
decimation: it's the only technology that (mostly) exists that could possibly give a 'european' level of energy use to the entire world
mircea_popescu: this "from the clouds down" approach... who cares about "the entire world", srsly ?
decimation: heh well yeah. ultimately he's kinda a libertard
mircea_popescu: anyway. i always thought all the work in fine graphite fibers is really intended to do this, eventually.
decimation: yes, 'buckyball' strands were supposed to be the next big thing
mircea_popescu: but in all fairness this thing, while in principle promising, is mroe than a few tweaks away.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile buying a kilogram bar of non radioactive rare earth metal is perfectly feasible as-is.
decimation: yes, not such a bad idea
decimation: if you are going with industrial usefuless, palladium or pt are also good metals to hold
mircea_popescu: my concern was more cultural, so to speak. here are these dudes, maybe 100k of them, all heads counted. they're mostly over 50 white men, who have for 30 years been buying and hoping.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, during THAT EXACT INTERVAL, this set of 10-20 metals did EXACTLY what they had hoped their dead horse would do.
mircea_popescu: went up what, 10x a decade. easy.
mircea_popescu: yet somehow in their minds the idea doesn't form that... hello ? anyone home ?
mircea_popescu: it's pretty interesting a phenomenon.

mircea_popescu: "designed by americans" is quickly becoming the english equivalent of "marfa romaneasca"
mircea_popescu: not merely shit, but shit that's been trampled by monkeys.
decimation: there are american nuclear fission designs that depend only on gravity to stop reactions

asciilifeform: it vanishes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because prior to gcd, we divide the product by the modulus, if the former is integer-divisible by the latter
asciilifeform: this is to account for the modulus having been already submitted (if it has)

ben_vulpes: no no no
trinque: model all blocks
trinque: all paths
trinque: then have something pointing
trinque: like a version control system would do
asciilifeform: ^ what we have now
asciilifeform: every block sits down on disk sequentially, and the db index thing points to indices
ben_vulpes: + // this is O(n^2)...
ben_vulpes: + // possibly could be improved if we descend from best height if requested height is closer to it
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: technically the comment is wrong, the operation is O(N)
asciilifeform: getting ~all~ the blocks is O(n^2)
asciilifeform: i did point this out shortly after posting it.
ben_vulpes: this is above my pay grade in terms of data structures, but perhaps an opportunity to learn. is there not a data structure available for use that doesn't have to iterate through the whole index to grab the element of interest?
trinque: just point at the end of all paths
trinque: and append-only
trinque: I cannot fathom what's hard in here, and I'm plainly asking to be called a moron, and why
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: try to understand why there is the index to begin with
trinque: git *is* this data structure
asciilifeform: rather than 'take nth 1MB block from disk'
asciilifeform: it is because reorgs
asciilifeform: and also because varying sizes of block
ben_vulpes: myes, i follow.
asciilifeform: really this is quite similar to everyone's file system.
ben_vulpes: what i do not understand is why it is necessary to iterate through mapblockindex.
ben_vulpes: probably an uninteresting question.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: because gotta walk the chain to answer the question of 'who is nth block'
asciilifeform: on account of it being a tree (with reorgs) rather than a mere linked list

Adlai: 'it is mind that moves'
punkman: see also BIP0032
Adlai: ... how exactly?
Apocalyptic: punkman, care to explain your reasoning behind this claim ?
asciilifeform: and what is an 'HD' wallet ?
shinohai: wallets that look slick and get your coins lost
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, it's a way of deriving addresses deterministically from an original seed using a HMAC function afaik
shinohai: I dont really like SPV wallets either
punkman: Apocalyptic: I have mentioned it here several times
punkman: lemme see if I can dig up thje links
asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: what is the point of this practice ?

decimation: asciilifeform: part of the problem is, it's hard for folks to trust what's inside a black box without understanding what's inside
shinohai: thx Adlai too many people don't want bitcoin but an *app* for bitcoin
asciilifeform: and they understand prng ?
Adlai: punkman: fwiw i'm quite sure bip32 doesn't make your addresses less secure, provided you don't leak the key data
decimation: if you can't understand prng, how are they gonna understanding the elliptical key math, even if they supply their own dice numbers?
Adlai: it does mean that a leak compromises multiple addresses, but that's because they essentially have the same key
decimation: Adlai: so why bother? why not use just one key?
decimation: seems like it's a device to pull the wool in front of your own eyes
jurov: decimation: some people prefer to not have to maintain properly megabyte wallet.dat files
jurov: cold store the seed once and get as many addresses as desired

Adlai: decimation: you can "cold store" an infinite number of addresses in your head as a phrase,but only a finite number of distinct keys
Apocalyptic: punkman, can you be more specific and point me to a given page/chapter ?
Adlai is not advocating the use of "brainwallets" where you pick the phrase, but rather a phrase generated from randomness + wordlist
jurov: ^ sop
danielpbarron: sounds like the deterministic thing comes from the already brain damaged desire to never reuse an address
punkman: Apocalyptic: eh, read the paper

asciilifeform: it weakens ~the whole shebang~
jurov: danielpbarron: well, people like mp (or me) who want to sleep ad libitum and thus decided to accept coins, inveitably end up requiring $maxint addresses
Apocalyptic: well sure it does
asciilifeform: because the number of bits that must be learned by the enemy to take all of your coin - is smaller.
punkman: the point is idiots will lose their coins this way, dunno what else you want
Adlai: idiots losing coin is the root of all deflation
Adlai: although in the current market climate, theft may do the opposite
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, if something strikes you as odd among these factors please do tell
Adlai is a big fan of "magic" HD wallets, that send your funds into obscure chains... spendable, if you know where to look
asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: as far as i can tell, the factors found thus far all fit the profile of factors-of-randomly-chosen-integer

Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, maybe because in crypto the attacker is usually called Eve
mircea_popescu: unflattering as that may be
mircea_popescu: eve's like one of maybe five people in the jewish cannon i'd consider hanging with
Apocalyptic: (stems from "eavesdropping")
gernika: mod6 Built v0.5.4-TEST2 with rotor but can't run it on the system I built it on because: "-bash: ./bitcoind: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error." This is on gentoo built from stage3-i486-20150728.tar.bz2

gernika: objdump: ./bitcoind: not a dynamic object
mircea_popescu: it says it's 64
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you see any problem with me thinking https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/digital-imprimatur/ is basically retarded ?
gernika: Well shit. Somehow I built 64 bit binaries on a 32 bit install of gentoo.

gernika: mircea_popescu Yeah I did.
gernika: Looks like
mircea_popescu: grats, i guess ? o.O
gernika: I guess I get to get more practice installing gentoo :)
mircea_popescu: you could just rebuild for your platform.
mircea_popescu: very few people still use 32bit, might be interesting test case.
gernika: I'll give that a shot
mircea_popescu: i dunno that any of the currently standing nodes are on 32 bit platforms
trinque: gernika: there are knobs in buildroot for that
trinque: and also in rotor.sh, every mention of 64 must change

TheNewDeal: a new deal of sorts
TheNewDeal: I'm thinking of adding perhaps 2 days equivalent timeweight. Say weight it 21000, two days ago weight was 23600. I would accept your amount, and pay out on the timeweight two days prior, 23600. Terms negotiable
