phf: one way it might help with ascii's problem specifically though is that your client will patiently wait for ascii's node, even though there might be periods of time where it would otherwise be completely unresponsive.
asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
phf: -connect based nodes in large avoid this problems because there's a mainloop that keeps adding same -connect supplied addresses over and over again, so even if elsewhere it's decided to drop the node, it'll be added and reconnected again on the next iteration. never the less a connect node can still be banned for misbehaving, which is something that his patch prevents from happening

ascii_field: usg can and DOES mitm transmissions.
punkman: you could make bans on "trusted" nodes expire sooner
ascii_field: waste of time.
phf: punkman: that specific loop can be closed much easier by checking for -connect during misbehave report and bailing
ascii_field: phf: all this will do is that you will waste cpu cycles on peers who are getting packetdropped by usg
ascii_field: (all of the mitm against my nodes has taken the form of vaguely plausibly-deniable packet dropping and delay)
ascii_field: strategic, incidentally, in that it did not trigger 'misbehave' listing on my end
phf: misbehave is only triggered when counterparty sends malformed, but still recognisable packets, so that would be a much more noticeable attack

ascii_field: as no useful activity can take place while this hangs
ascii_field: because the whole thing was written by the profoundly retarded
phf: well, the patch gives special status to ips that were explicitly provided. if you're being mitm'd, your only recourse is operator intervention, the goal of the patch was to ensure that your recourse does not automatically become "use random shmoe"

ascii_field: mircea_popescu once alluded to a dirty ad-hoc implementation of this by chinese operators, where nodes had vpn links to one another
gernika: ascii_field Thought it was real - 32 GB ecc ram, opteron 4226.
ascii_field: but that is not an adult answer.
ascii_field: gernika: and you were syncing from what?
ascii_field: as in, where did the blocks fed to 'eatblock' come from ?
gernika: both yours and mp's nodes.
ascii_field: in real time ?
ascii_field: i am asking ~specifically~ how the thing was put together
ascii_field: the correct way to use eatblock is with dumpblock coming from an already synced LOCAL node.
ascii_field: this does NOT take 3 weeks on my hardware.
ascii_field: more like 3 days.
gernika: Right. So I made it to 368xxx and got stuck on the large block syncing from one of your nodes over the network. I then (probably) had a bad shutdown and corrupted the db. I then used eatblock to sync from what I had on disk up to that point.
ascii_field: stuck?
ascii_field: as in, didn't have the bdb locks fix patch applied ?
gernika: wedged - due to not having the patch yes
ascii_field: then burn the whole thing & start over
ascii_field: let me guess, of the 3 weeks, most of the time was spent wedged ?
gernika: The node was not on the network, it was just eating from disk. It did not appear wedged, just processing one block after another.
ascii_field: but was the entire blockchain already present on disk to be eaten?
ascii_field: what i am asking is, did it at any point spend time waiting for an edible block to appear on disk.
gernika: Yes it did. I did not dump all.dat files at once. I would dump one, eat through it (in about 24 hours), then dump the next.
ascii_field: how much time spent on the dumps ?
ascii_field: (as distinct from the eating)
gernika: a couple of minutes.
ascii_field: the other important question is whether the node being synced was also accessing the net at the time
ascii_field: (eatblock is a locking operation)
gernika: It was started like this bitcoind -myip=x.x.x.x -caneat -datadir=/home/gernika/.bitcoin-8-14/
phf: gernika: you know if the addr db empty? if you did a connect with that node at any point, it'll have a populated address database and start connecting immediately on startup
phf: i don't have intuition for complete eatblock time, but 3 weeks does sound like surprisingly long time, even with all the checks enabled
gernika: It might not have been empty. That said, I didn't see the noise in the logs I would expect to see if it were connected to another node.

You can do that without loss of performance and without limiting C++’s expressive power. This supports the general thesis that garbage collection is neither necessary nor sufficient for quality software. Our core C++ guidelines makes such code simpler to write than older styles of C++ and the safety

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am very much leaning towards scriptable crypto.
asciilifeform: as in bitcoin's script.
mircea_popescu: i saw it in the logs. i dun know what to say of this as of yet.
asciilifeform: it CAN be implemented correctly.
asciilifeform: this means, almost inescapably - ada. with proofs.
asciilifeform: probably i am doomed to do this.
asciilifeform: (the set of mathematical operations used in crypto is quite limited, well-defined, and does not require a turing-complete interpreter to fully encompass.)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i get it, you want encrypted channel for bitcoind

assbot: Logged on 25-09-2015 01:25:01; mod6: so asciilifeform & mircea_popescu, I added a sync mechinism for V. but wanted to discuss it a bit, not sure if it's whats really ideal or anything.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> why would an outfit like bitpay even have expenses on top of bandwidth ? << Their office is literally around the block from a hooters knockoff that does pizza instead of wings. They spent on location
asciilifeform: rsync would need a pre-write hook so that it only accepts 'push' attempts that end up sig-verifying
asciilifeform: but other than this, unmodified
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: but why did it even need a physical office ?! the only possible explanation is mircea_popescu's...
asciilifeform: (chumpatronic engineering)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Needed physical office for stotting
BingoBoingo: Have dollars will rent
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i sign on gavin's dumbass "proposal", it's directly obvious to anyone what happened.
mircea_popescu: if gallippi wants to play the adult and "sign declarations", what's that mean ?
mircea_popescu: gotta have something. what he got ?
mircea_popescu: "some bum said some things nobody card about" ? he doesn't want it to be like that.
mircea_popescu: he wants to pretend he's sorta kinda like me, were i to exist (which i don't, OOOOBVIOUSLY). so...
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-09-2015#1285169 << the way i suggested doing it is to avoid having multiple classes of signed objects. manifest for a release would be merely another kind of patch - one that simply takes every leaf that is to form part of the release head, and add a comment to the top of the file, 'REL-xxx.' this auto-gloms the leaves into a single patch 'handle', think about it.
assbot: Logged on 25-09-2015 01:27:12; mod6: one possibility to publish releases in the future now that we have V is to create a manifest of V patches and have the co-chairs sign the manifest, as well as the patches.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 after this, anyone who wants to build THAT release merely needs to 'grab' ~that~ patch and 'v' does the rest.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: this property of a system is called 'orthogonality'
asciilifeform: it is the thing children like about 'lego'
Pierre_Rochard: BingoBoingo: rent wasn’t actually that much, ~3 people’s salaries. Employed ~70 people
asciilifeform: there is precisely 1 kind of thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought he just meant signing patches.
BingoBoingo: Pierre_Rochard: Interesting. I would have thought nice place downtown in the cool area would have cost more.
mod6: asciilifeform: hey, thanks for your input/thoughts there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understood it, he was speaking of signing manifests
asciilifeform: but this way, a release is simply a vpatch that adds a 'this is part of such-and-such release' comment to a set of files in such a way that the desired leaves are brought into the release.
mircea_popescu: no, just make a special patch (for historical reasons called a manifest) that does exactly what you describe
asciilifeform: then yes.
mircea_popescu: well it's what i read anyway.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you don't understand. it's not the place that's cheap
asciilifeform: this way, no one who wants to get a release ever needs to do anything but ordinary operation of 'v'.
mircea_popescu: it's dumbass "employees" doing nothing that are EXPENSIVE
Pierre_Rochard: ^^^ that
asciilifeform: no screwing with pgp separately, no untarring, etc.
mircea_popescu: could have had a stable of indians doing the same job for 1.5% of the cost and 0.0x% of the liabilities.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps they had a stable of indians also
mod6: right, i want the sync mech to work inside of the bounds of V.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform perhaps they fucked madonna as well.
mircea_popescu: what's it do for them ?
Pierre_Rochard: asciilifeform: no indians, a few argentinians (great devs fwiw)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is actually very common in usa software shops. indians produce mountain of horror, and then a handful of other people - clean it
mircea_popescu: yeah, great devs.

mircea_popescu: except no big tits, no nude at home, and no eating dogfood. just, derpage and pretense.
asciilifeform: i confess to having wondered if anyone in .ar writes software
mod6: ok so. release vpatch would be creating a new vertex that has edges coming from the current leafs.
mircea_popescu: they mostly like to write ~about~ things.
mod6: am I understanding that correctly?
asciilifeform: mod6: correct
