mircea_popescu: etc, the works.

mircea_popescu: just like back in the day.

asciilifeform: how long have you sat there ?

asciilifeform realized that this question is auto-answerable

mircea_popescu: this install ? about 3 days

asciilifeform: hm does gribble have a block-->epochaltime function ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who are you pulling from ?

mircea_popescu: the net.

asciilifeform: ahahahahaha

asciilifeform: yes, nominally the thing is a p2p gadget, this oughta work, no? but in reality, yer cooking with gutter oil

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: any blackholing observed ?

mircea_popescu: nope.

mircea_popescu: this thing is ever more friable, year after year.

mircea_popescu: but you realise, i am doing this deliberately.

asciilifeform: naturally

asciilifeform: how else.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the most dire flaw, per my current understanding, is that the thing is loathe to discard a peer

asciilifeform: and when it does, ends up selecting a new peer more or less wildly

asciilifeform: (and so simply ends up wasting time spent on reconnecting)

mircea_popescu: at least part of the shitgnome objective ("make it impossible for random derp to run full node") will succeed within less than a year, if not actually successful enough already.

mircea_popescu: we utterly need those pogos deployed already.

mircea_popescu: dicking around with it long enough.

asciilifeform: realize that nobody but us (and the quasi-mythical 'smart miners') are running full nodes now.

mircea_popescu: i do.

asciilifeform: (phoundation's header-first-sync thing is not a node...!)

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=11-08-2015#1234821

assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 13:36:02; asciilifeform: shinohai: see, i'd post a full recipe and signed binaries today, but we don't quite yet have a pogo-capable - that is, non-ramguzzling - bitcoind

asciilifeform: pogo is pending on two undone things:

asciilifeform: 1) hard-limited, value-weighted tx mempool

asciilifeform: 2) http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/attachments/20150701/rss_d1746f76523316edcdc82326213f8953bf6f0d09.png

assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1iFMShs )

asciilifeform: ('2' shows the behaviour of a deterministically-syncing (from disk: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-July/000107.html -- (!!!) node. the block index grows linearly, ~300 byte per block.) this is entirely undigestible on a pogo.

assbot: [BTC-dev] Results of First 'Deterministic Sync' Experiment, With Memory Consumption Plots. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LKmuPH )

asciilifeform: we can't have the thing occupying the entirety of ram.

asciilifeform: (and then some)

asciilifeform: JUST FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING BLKINDEX

asciilifeform: i put an obscene and prolly unjustifiable amount of sweat into narrowing down the causes of the misery to 1 and 2.

asciilifeform: at one time there was a '3' - glibc-free, static, rom-burnable bitcoind. but we have it now.

asciilifeform: for all the good it did, re: pogo...

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 39850 @ 0.00073184 = 29.1638 BTC [-]

asciilifeform: btw there are misleading figures circulating re: 'size of the mempool today is 5MB' etc.

asciilifeform: useless, garbage number, anyone who claims to have a calculated value for it is lying or utterly illiterate

punkman: asciilifeform: why the sharp dropoff in that picture?

asciilifeform: punkman: it appears to come from liberated ram no longer needed for disk cache

asciilifeform: punkman: later i created a mechanism to measure only consumption from within the process proper, but i did not have time to turn this into a plot.

asciilifeform: punkman: what i ended up doing was manually combing the code for 'what gets eaten but never shat', and found the block index to be the obvious culprit.

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 87700 @ 0.00073624 = 64.5682 BTC [+] {3}

asciilifeform: i must also remind people that, sadly, these days i do not have anything close to the amount of time and energy needed to properly nail this thing.

asciilifeform: unless i somehow stumble across buried treasure, etc., it will have to be nailed by someone who is not me.

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 52600 @ 0.0007396 = 38.903 BTC [+] {3}

asciilifeform: perhaps mircea_popescu ought to get busy teaching his pets cpp

asciilifeform: (either that, or tell me where the buries treazurez are!)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can actually unwedge it. i am satisfied the problem here is a subtle memory issue (not directly related to the bdb locks thing). specifically, to verify block 367851 bitcoind needs a certain amount of CONTIGUOUS memory. but it doesn't know this.

asciilifeform: this is called fragging.

mircea_popescu: the kernel thinks it has memory, the program thinks it was allocated memory, the verification fails and the process cycles indefinitely.

mircea_popescu: if someone new to low level stuff is eager to do some useful spec work, feel free to examine this issue.

mircea_popescu: im pretty certain 367851 is the best block to do it on.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am curious as to the logic of this inference.

asciilifeform: tx-en are verified serially.

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> btw there are misleading figures circulating re: 'size of the mempool today is 5MB' etc. << word. not a scalar.

asciilifeform: the scratch space used for the verification is allocated on the stack

mircea_popescu: it's a complex set of required blocks of allocable memory, and the hope that kernel allocates them correctly.

asciilifeform: and freed after each script ver.

mircea_popescu: this is perhaps chief reason we must have bitcoinos. general purpose memory allocation (ie, not bitcoin optimized) is garbage.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's no logic, just induction.

mircea_popescu: that's why i say someone who has the tools to reason deductively should look at it.

asciilifeform: let's actually do this one

mircea_popescu: the instrumentation you need is userspace with specifiable available memory profile.

mircea_popescu: (ie, this many blocks of this size each)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think while the txn are verified serially maybe the memory for entire block is allocated somewhere ; haven't actually had someone dig into the code for this angle./

asciilifeform: it is.

asciilifeform: i have the thing on screen as we speak.

mircea_popescu: this is potentially even leverageable

mircea_popescu: it MIGHT do something dirty silently in that loop

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> utterly illiterate << kids today are used to adding things together. "how many pears do you get adding six ducks to eight nails ?" "14!!!"

asciilifeform: they will program in ada, in hell

mircea_popescu: like they programmed nipples in life aha.

asciilifeform: this is btw a beautiful pun, often exploited, in ru: язык ада == 'the language of hell'

mircea_popescu: hahaha

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 'lxr' is 1001 times more useful than doxygen. can haz both plz ?

gribble: The operation succeeded.

asciilifeform: doxygen is RETARDED, it takes actual sweat to so much as link to a specific line of src

asciilifeform: and the file browser, always visible, is mega-annoying

asciilifeform: the thing is graphically spiffy but entirely worthless in practice.

asciilifeform: other than for the flow graphs.

asciilifeform: hence i am stuck using jurov's original. here goes.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bubble butts beckon. i shall return tomorrow!

asciilifeform: laterz.

mod6: asciilifeform: maybe jurov can add another lxr for v0.5.4 when release is official? i actually never use the doxygen one either.

asciilifeform: mod6: the lxr thing is indispensible

mod6: or whenever he gets time i suppose.

asciilifeform: i use it every time i look at the thing at all.

asciilifeform: but seeing rel1 in it gets old, fast.

mod6: me too, if i even use it at all. most of the time i just use an editor.

asciilifeform: i prolly ought to set the thing up on local disk

asciilifeform: editor doesn't give concordance

asciilifeform: (emacs will tell me where a string occurs, sure, but this is pointedly NOT what i want)

mod6: anyway, yeah, i agree. we'll have to get lxr setup for v0.5.4 for sure, and maybe at that time we just drop doxygen or just point at it for the call graphs.

asciilifeform: it doesn't hurt to have it. for the call graphs.

asciilifeform: esp. since nobody ever did the chore, yet, of making a usable wall-sized call graph like i asked for

asciilifeform: (yes, someone did half of it, a btc's worth, but the result is not yet something i can send off to the print house and get a wall poster)

mod6: didnt some guy get paid for a graph, or was that a differnet thing?

mod6: ah.

asciilifeform: this very thing.

asciilifeform: he wrote some code which could, theoretically, be used to make this.

mod6: ok, i see.

mod6: also, fwiw my TEST2 node has block 375296

asciilifeform: 'Recently, however, Brar has fallen out of love with Facebook. He discovered as Business Insider reported recently that his Facebook fanbase was becoming polluted with thousands of fake likes from bogus accounts. He can no longer tell the difference between his real fans and the fake ones. Many appear fake because the users have so few friends, are based in developing countries, or have generic profile pictures.' << oh

asciilifeform: noez, he wanted genuine dead souls, not synthetic dead souls !!111111

shinohai: mircea_popescu: If you can make any sense of this I *guess* it explains it: https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/197/how-to-help-secure-the-ethereum-network-faq

assbot: How to help secure the Ethereum network FAQ - Ethereum ... ( http://bit.ly/1NLSXpo )

mircea_popescu: "At Frontier, the first release of Ethereum, you'll just need a) a GPU and b) an Ethereum client, Geth. CPU mining will be possible but too inefficient to hold any value.

mircea_popescu: Codename Frontier, the initial live release of Ethereum consist of Geth, the Command Line Interface written in Go, and nothing else. At the moment, Geth only includes a CPU miner, and the team is testing a GPU miner branch, but this won't be part of Frontier."

mircea_popescu: so... which is it ?

mircea_popescu: "The algorithm is memory hard, you'll need at least 1+GB of RAM on each GPU"

mircea_popescu: nigga... say wut ?!

mircea_popescu: GeForce GTX 750 has, iirc, 1gb.

mircea_popescu: for, iirc, 8 cores.

mircea_popescu: anywya, whatevs.

shinohai: Also ... "Do not proceed with this guide using a machine on which you do not feel comfortable losing data, or even hardware. You have been warned - this is EXPERIMENTAL."

shinohai: Kinda reads to me "We need schmucks to test our shit, but don't want to waste money on resources. So you guys do it for us, but don't come crying to us if it borks your pc"

mircea_popescu: coolness.

asciilifeform has been recently carrying out a kind of survey of programming systems ~built for adults~. so far, nominees: common lisp, ada, standard ml. and that's ~it~

asciilifeform: rough and non-exhaustive summary of what 'for adults' means:

asciilifeform: 1) type safety 2) MULTIPLE independent implementations 3) at least two NATIVE compilers exist 4) written international standard, preferably published on dead tree

asciilifeform: under (1) i also include bounds checking and sane error handling

asciilifeform: that's pretty much it.

mircea_popescu: i was hoping for whips and cuffs

asciilifeform: under (3) i also include that native compiler must support unix threading

asciilifeform: (or it is not properly speaking 'native')

asciilifeform: whips and cuffs come with ada

asciilifeform: if your book didn't come with then, get yer money back

asciilifeform: *them

mircea_popescu: lol

asciilifeform: i'd include forth, but it has the 'safety' of a frag grenade.

asciilifeform: (a frag is not a useless thing, has its place where nothing else will do. but only there.)

asciilifeform: i recall there was a thread where mircea_popescu unzipped and pissed on standards, but they are pretty much the only way you get to have (2) and (3)
