mircea_popescu: no but on second pass this is actually correct, isn't it. ~I~ have been breaking the protocol with that design, indiscutably.
kakobrekla: yes i have seen it, nothing i can do about it.
mircea_popescu: so basically, yeah bla bla, miners can force "either doublepay or never pay" dilemma, but ~not on everyone~. only on derps who, like mp, actually publish the whole story.
mircea_popescu: listen kakobrekla can we modify the way bitbet works to actually satisfy this ? something like
mircea_popescu: say paid out bets are published as now, but proposed bets only show first 4 chars of the address, and only first two digits of the payment. except if under 0.01 it's just replaced with D
mircea_popescu: and yes, publish a sha of the whole list as-is somewhere on page also. so people can then verify at tyhe end.
mircea_popescu: as the commenter says, this does nothing for bitcoin, merely for bitbet.
mircea_popescu: of course large payments remain a problem - not so many double digit btc moving around to an address with the following 4 chars.
mircea_popescu: as usual - centralist power is the enemy of free commerce.
mircea_popescu: who knew how fucking deep in the rules of the world this principle is baked
kakobrekla: i find the comment from 'sturle' much more interesting.
mircea_popescu: no argument that it ~could~ be a so and so node. all sorts of things could be all sorts of other things. like the moon landing photos could be fake, and so on.
mircea_popescu: you have enough trust, whenever you want to speak here you should pm assbot "!up" and decrypt the dpaste.
kakobrekla: i asked him to join to answer the questions from qntra
kakobrekla: >If you are proposing that you are actually running a node which keeps all 0-fee txn for a week plus, I very much would like to know what machine are you running, and when's the last time you realised what an incredible DoS mechanism this is.
sturles: I don't keep them all. Only the ones with the highest priority.-
sturles: I don't have a time limit.
sturles: Transactions are evicted by fee or priority alone.
sturles: It doesn't matter if A2 has higher or lower priority than A1. As long as A1 is in my mempool, a tx spending any of A1's inputs will be rejected.
mircea_popescu: sturles if you keep 0fee txn without time limit, you are necessarily running on a machine with infinite ram.
sturles: Right now my mempool has: "mempoolminpriority": 142186611.6926576,
sturles: Which means that every tx with priority below 142186611.6926576 will be thrown out of the priority pool, and into the fee based pool.
sturles: Standard priority calculations. size of input * age of input for all inputs, then divided by the size of the transaction.
mircea_popescu: right. by this calculation, the tx in question would not have remained in your pool.
mircea_popescu: if you recall kakobrekla at the time it was merely broadcast and "not yet included" (in the public version of the blockchain), it had a very low priority.
sturles: 0 fee tx are thrown out if the priority is lower than what is required. Currently 142186611.6926576.
sturles: OK. I don't know anything about the tx in question. How old were the inputs?
sturles: Size in BTC is in satishi. Age in number of confirmations.
kakobrekla: txid de9bc173174f5ae97e7fe0d2e171647cade189c76f9cbe48f37494c973aca2e4
sturles: priority = sum(input_value_in_base_units * input_age)/size_in_bytes
kakobrekla: and just sum the discrete inputs ages ?
sturles: The transaction has one 3 month old input of 15.898 BTC. This alone may be enough to push the priority high enough.
kakobrekla: anyway, sturles is giving us his current mempoolminpriority, which doesnt mean it was the same a week ago.
mircea_popescu: yeah but for practical reasons doesn't also vary too much, or you get drowned.
mircea_popescu: in any case, at the time this was discussed in the logs, the miner priority was in the 9th decile, about 16% of the global mempool.
sturles: Mu mempool is 1 GB with 300MB reserved for high priority..
mircea_popescu: (obviously because no protocol there is no actual definition of "mempool size" other than rough consensus, but wehartevers)
mircea_popescu: yeah, mempool is low now for some reason, across the board.
sturles: There was a spam attack, which stopped.
mircea_popescu: for the curious, mempool was as high as 80mb during february, but recently it's ~8 or so.
sturles: Where is this number from? Mine is:
mircea_popescu: sturles from my own nodes' estimation of what the "mempool" is currently.
mircea_popescu: built on the basis of what other nodes advertise as txn
mircea_popescu: check that out, "TradeBlock serves financial institutions with execution and analysis tools that capitalize on the potential of blockchain technologies."
sturles: By default Bitcoin Core will evict transactions which has been in the mempool for more than three days. A bad idea, because those will just come back from a node which had the transaction for less than three days, but since transactions paying a fee lower than the -minrelayfee threshold are throttled most low and 0-fee transactions will be kept out for most of the time. I'm sure there are an infinite amount of them..
sturles: Back in 2010 there was no eviction in place. Valid transactions stayed in the mempool until mined. Various eviction strategies have been tried for the last couple of years.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall when this "3 day" thing got introduced, but longer than coupla years ago i think.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you're curious, what trb is contemplating to eventually do is a ring buffer with a per-kb fee only as the criteria.
sturles: 0.12 does eviction based on fee/kB. When the mempool is full, a large share (half?) of the transaction will get evicted and a minimum fee ratio to get included will be set.
sturles: There is no priority included in the calculations for mempool eviction in 0.12.

mircea_popescu: i will have the harem hum your nick during sex for a week in recognition.

sturles: It knows about the fee rate of the children of unconfirmed transactions.
sturles: Helps for child-pays-for-parent in mining.
mircea_popescu: fucking evil bs, child pays for parent, let's invent OTHER ways to import meaningless state into bitcoin and fuck it all up
sturles: If a transaction pays too low fees to get included, and you spend an output of the transaction with a high fee, a miner may want to mine both.
sturles: People spend unconfirmed outputs all the time. Bitcoin Core even does it by itself, if the output was generated by yourself.
sturles: We are not talking about orphans here, since we have the parent in the mempool.
mircea_popescu: this argument has some merit, but it's really contrary to bitcoin.
sturles: Well, you may call it a fetus. A miner can choose to give birth to both in the same block.
mircea_popescu: yeah, a miner might choose to do all sorts of patently idiotic shit.
sturles: It is in the design. As long as the order is correct (perent before child in the block), it is accepted.
sturles: Yes. It isn't verey complicated. Really. As long as A is found before B in the blockchain, the order is AB. Even if A and B are in the same block.
sturles: I am not saying it is the right way to do it, just that it is how it is.
mircea_popescu: there's no way to write a sane specification for bitcoin that avoids saying specifically "if input tx is not found in a block, tx is invalid"
mircea_popescu: yeah, some noncompliant miners are currently doing this, among many other insanities they do.
mircea_popescu: no argument there. but it is not ok merely because some idiots do it atm.
sturles: It isn't that complex. The uxto set is updated as the block is parsed. The inputs of the sibling will be in the utxo set when it gets to it. It only makes some optimizations somewhat harder.
sturles: Yes, and I don't think this is much more complex than requiring each utxo to be in a different block than the one it is spent from.
sturles: No, the order must be strict. I.e. the the parent must be confirmed _before_ the sibling.
sturles: If the sibling is _after_ the parent in the block, the block is invalid.
sturles: I use normal rules for relaying transactions.
sturles: I haven't looked closely at the code. My node behaves like any other node would. Except it keeps a part of the mempool protected from fee based eviction based on priority.

mircea_popescu: they had the unmitigated audacity to leave envelopes on the tables, "thanks for halping us continue with our art"
mircea_popescu: i crossed out art and wrote in "you stink" and "get a job", but something tells me they won't take this to heart and execute it exactly
mircea_popescu: just like any other derp/redditard to whom i give key life advice.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other news - hilary apparently attacked trump, and with a total loser speech. it's all over, he's winning << It was Romney, but really no diff
mircea_popescu: in other news, they have these guts-of-figs with almods or other nuts on top sweets here. utterly delicious with a glass of vermouth
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Romney attacked Trump and offered brokered convention as a solution in his speech
BingoBoingo: i.e. Let Trump win a plurality but not majority of delegates
mircea_popescu: anyway, trump got 7, next ghuy what, 3 ? 4 ? it's all over. i hope to hell he a) fails to get enough delegates and then b) spits in their faces re "brokered convention" and then c) starts his OWN party on pretty much a platform of "fuck the republicans and what are these democrats supposed to even be ?"
mircea_popescu: ideally the republican party should end by being spit in the face by "an outlier" and never recovering from it. best thing for them.
BingoBoingo: Well, the writing's on the wall for that except for the part about such a fate being MP-esque, I mean Donald Trump-Clinton is a serial scammer.
mircea_popescu: but for a better man, the correct strategy is exactly this.
mircea_popescu: besides, the us is just about ripe for a peron of its own
BingoBoingo: This is really the fatal flaw in the whole voting business. All politicans get habituated to lying, scamming, and under delivering but these these outsiders like Donald Trump-Clinton beat them at their game because they practiced those things without the rest of the circle jerk more openly and more criminally.
mircea_popescu: (ie, Partido Justicialista Because Fuck Republicans And What The Fuck Are These Democrats Even Supposed To Be)
mircea_popescu: first party in history with a double fuck in the full name.
mircea_popescu: and that only because it abstains from discussing the economy.
BingoBoingo would just prefer a more honest wrecker to do the parting
mircea_popescu: and speaking of the us and its future - so macri's been in power for a few weeks now, the peronistas (ie, criminal-socialist party) kept hewing and hawing about how they'll bring the street power to bear. today they finally called out a demonstration, it was on all the news outlet. deeply zoomed in, it looked almost like a thing. but zoomed out, it was ~50 to 100 people in a yellow box "blocking traffic". all the plaza
mircea_popescu: de mayo wide the fuck open, more police than protestors, 50 miles of fence and 300 yards of protestor perimeter.
mircea_popescu: an utter humiliation, i have no idea why the fuck they even did it. but it's quite clear that without the cona house they got ~nothing.
mircea_popescu: so macri's here to stay, and the country's definitely going on sale. staples prices already up ~50 to maybe 100%, salaries frozen, all bureaucrats discussing in hushed tones their fears of which jobs will be cut... it's a pleasure.
mircea_popescu: oh wait, they sold the corn earlier. they're definitely starving.
BingoBoingo wondering if much of the US is even planting corn this year
mircea_popescu: well the us has the advantage that the people contain enough food for ~decade, give or take.
mircea_popescu: and besides, since they ended canada's oil boom with their inept russian embargo shenanigans, the great farmland to the north can get back to agriculture. great obama-hruschev common single planning organ success!
BingoBoingo: lol pete_dushenski and nubbins' in two dog land have to dust off their hos
mircea_popescu: actually, for the interested us scholar, the history of the comecom should be read carefully. it's not merely informative, but will be quite predictive.

mircea_popescu: the audience took me back 20 years. back in mid 90s, there was this bar in cluj, mostly favoured by highschooler chicks that were just mediocre but liked to think themsleves special.
ben_vulpes: remember that, asciilifeform ? we had more or less the whole upstairs to ourselves?

mircea_popescu: anyway, did the argentinos hallucinate the story ? never happened ?
mircea_popescu: gotta say i like the language. the derps are fucking useless - saw a fucktard SLEEPING IN THE SHOP today, banned the shop - but check out "envalentonada".
ben_vulpes: look i'm always down to see people humiliate themselves or be humiliated but the acres of derping around before the hammer comes down isn't edging its just fucking boring

mircea_popescu: what's his name, polly-wanna-baccarat or whatever the fuck.
BingoBoingo still rather convinced Hillary rodham-clinton and donald trump-clinton are colluding
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo incidentally - imagine the fucking ratings once trump turns the white house into a nbc studio
BingoBoingo also kinda thought this just Trump juicing his ratings after NBC canned his struggling show

BingoBoingo: They both have the same clinton ethical disorder

BingoBoingo: Nah, prolly doing my sport voting for rubio or cruz in order to do my part for the brokered convention outcome
cazalla: how was your winter? i just pulled the rest of the tomatoes out this morning, tfw no more summer and winter is coming
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, romanians have been trading votes for years now. go in there with your smartphone, take pic of vote and id card, get 30 lei or w/e
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I refuse to vote for a clinton so no, can't vote for hairday guy
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> vote for Vermin!11 << This general election course of action
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform obviously you could take as many pics as payers. but in spite of the ridoinculousness, the nonsense provably works.
mircea_popescu: compare the counties where scheme was implemented (it's always done by the "local barons", not a central thing) with the counties where it isn't.

http://bit.ly/1VUfIYQ )
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: user can't send tx because blackholed for using verboten tmsr service, let's say. user exports privkey from wallet, imports to bc.info, sends coins to new wallet and continues on his merry way.
pete_dushenski: issues may arise if coins are sent to 'wiped' address on throw-away bc.info wallet. thus, my response
assbot: Logged on 02-03-2016 22:56:04; pete_dushenski: if i may summarise the last 24 hours of logs, which i must say were eminently enjoyable save the lack of practical recourse discussed : bitcoin remains the world's worst payment network... except for all the others. and even still, not by much.
mircea_popescu: so you meet a shady guy in a bar, and he shows you an address with 10 btc in it, and gives you the privkey in exchange of taking the lady in the back alley half-n-half.
mircea_popescu: the lady side aside, do you think this is a sensible deal ?
pete_dushenski: but if no more coins are sent to the shared privkey, then all's kosher, neh ?
mircea_popescu: it's not kosher, it's a race as to who can spend first, and you're hoping the lady's good enough to keep him busy long enough for you to get to a wifi ?
mircea_popescu: which i suppose works ok in this extemporaneous prostitution scenario, but pretty much nowhere else.
pete_dushenski: because it's then a throwaway intermediary. and yes, hoping that bc.info doesn't spend same coins in same 10 minutes is the risk.
mircea_popescu: well... what happens if the tx is not included in a block ?
punkman: where the hell does bc.info come in and why
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: then user is fucked because he's now shared privkeys and ~still~ has no way of transacting lol
pete_dushenski: one that seems to get tx included in blocks, i might add
punkman: pete_dushenski: I read the blog post, didn't make sense
mircea_popescu: basically, the most charitable read of the thing i can come up with is, "if you find your own wallet unable to transact - try move the privkey to a webwallet, maybe it works there".
punkman: but stuck coinz don't get unstuck because you moved priv keys
mircea_popescu: no, but you can now bitch at vc derps and post on reddit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform somethinglike that. given that his guide announces itself as "opportunistic smalltimer defense", it's not necessarily wrong.
punkman: I try to keep in mind: "network might be down for a year, can you live with that"
punkman: is this a bastardized mp quote? can't recall the source
mircea_popescu: i'll gladly take the credit if it saves you the time to search for sauce.
punkman: imgur videos are the worst with noscript. I click+delete the flash placeholder, allow the mp4, it reloads, then I allow the webm and maybe it start playing
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> like short circuit in electronics. << For live examples see brainwallets
BingoBoingo: Who can spend inputs first when they arrive
BingoBoingo: Oh no, I mean enough people have keys for many brainwallets so anytime they recieve coins it is off to the races for at least tens of scrapers
