phf: b579b2c553ee2bd3aee8d17d96ae259abfad2ac5 (sha1 of my solution for ascii's puzzle)
asciilifeform: congrats to phf , the 1st winner of ch4 puzzler.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1757842 << the wp 'code' plugin is massive headache, i've been fighting it since ch1 . ( e.g in ch4 i had to replace the " in ('"') with a similar-looking uniturd, because double-escape is apparently impossible )

asciilifeform: in other noose, 'aggression' patch is apparently ~the~ pill against what ailed zoolag; 482253 -> 484621 in ~12hr , previously that was 3-4 day's worth
asciilifeform: ( naturally , this is not a Troo Rigorous test. that'd go as i described, 2 identical, save for 'aggression', boxen, on 2 identical pipes )
asciilifeform: the current test on zoolag, however, is mighty interesting: after floundering in a sea of prb for ~hour, thing's been loading blocks almost continuously. at this rate will actually sync in a week or so.
shinohai: I fully intend to report on my results with patch after all this holiday nonsense is over.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this one isn't a wp problem per se, it's interaction b/w wp and the colorizer thing
asciilifeform: took a bit of massage to get it to stop mutilating >, <, &
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what did you use for say & ? replaced with &#38 ? in which case does &#34 work for " ?
mircea_popescu: phf's codepoint idea is powerful indeed.
asciilifeform: < , <, & , did not have to uniturd, there are ready-made escapes for these
asciilifeform: i'ma prolly have to rewrite the code-formatter plugin thing, it insists on autoprocessing to emplace the escapes, but does not do ~mismatched~ double-quotes
asciilifeform: the as-is incurably kills it, because unpaired quote.
asciilifeform: ( being a code formatter, it naively insists on colouring the inside of the double-quotes... )
mircea_popescu: better escape everything than special-escape some and then be stranded.
asciilifeform: author, apparently, did not give it any ability to distinguish 'standalone double-quote because actually need it' from 'idjit user forgot to close the " '
asciilifeform: well how would it dwim. gotta offer an explicit escape. and the thing, apparently, doesn't.
asciilifeform: ( and can't simply use the html escape notation, because it gets literalized by the code-formatter )
mircea_popescu: this is a fine example of why modularization sucks.
asciilifeform: it is theoretically possible to write a correct module, but prolly not by homo-phpicus.
mircea_popescu: or rather, ad-hoc modularization, in point of fact yet another necessarily failed attempt to go out of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704268

mircea_popescu: "the linux way" works for as long as.
mircea_popescu: correct module shall be written under the whip and in no other place.
asciilifeform: whip has curative power but apparently wasn't enuff for, e.g., microshit
mircea_popescu: eh, scensters don't count.
mircea_popescu: they have this in bdsm too, you know, rabid idiots doing "scenes", where they pretend like they're doing it.
asciilifeform: cargocultism?
mircea_popescu: authentic fear in the sweat and authentic blood on the instruments or no dice.
mircea_popescu: well, in typical manner of usgtronic cargocultism, they pretend to themselves as a captive audience that they've embraced&extended successfully.
mircea_popescu: but hey, by now the stuff of "bitcoin is backed by nothing, stick to dollars" is well stale i'd guess.
asciilifeform often tries to picture what kind of software would have been written under stalin, if there had been on-what
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure stalin was capable. you see, the buffett mind, "i'm a smart conservative peasant", which seems to my eyes to be what stalin (or for that matter ro hatman) was struggling towards dun work for conceptual worlds.
mircea_popescu: because there's not so much conceptual within peasant ancestral experience.
asciilifeform: it's a stretch, conceptually, sure
mircea_popescu: hatman HAD on what with. missed out on what TO.
asciilifeform: but i did say ~under~ stalin, not 'by'
mircea_popescu: there is no under that's not an extension of by.
mircea_popescu: this follows from the definition of terms, if you manage to find a domain outside of the view of the whip therefore you escaped.
asciilifeform: kurchatov was able to work in conceptual sphere, and not only without interference but with offer of 'tell us who is getting in the way, he'll be gone next morning'
asciilifeform: and very muchly under stalin.
mircea_popescu: which isn't nearly as fortunate a happy occurence as the fantasy-mind imagines from within ; but anyway
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is that ; but not reliably, hence soviet alt-genetics.
asciilifeform: there was a specific conversation, legendarily:
asciilifeform: stalin summoned kurchatov to the throne room, and described to him 'we're gonna have a cleanup, in physics, like in genetics, what do you think'
asciilifeform: kurchatov, supposedly, sat and thought, and few minutes later answered, 'perhaps from philosophical pov this'd be consistent. but then we will have to forget about obtaining the bomb.'
asciilifeform: s replied 'bomb'
mircea_popescu: smart man. do you see however how this is STRICTLY equivalent to slavegirl going "master, this spot, this spot doesn't hurt like the others, hit it harder."
asciilifeform: then next wk 'tell us who is trying to be philosophical, and getting in the way...'
mircea_popescu: ie, deliberately contrived to extend whip reach for herself.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha. sorta why i retell it nao.
asciilifeform: it pertains.
mircea_popescu: this only works with extreme purists.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the fantasy-mind. "wouldn't chocolate be better ?"
asciilifeform: it also only works where you have a throne room. would do 0 against a fungus.
asciilifeform: kurchatov could strike a gentleman's understanding with stalin. but would have 'snowball's chance in hell' against a committee.
mircea_popescu: no, committee is very strictly dedicated to failing on the h bomb or anything else.
mircea_popescu: it is an outgrowth of socialist fantasy, specifically constructed to deliver on the constructed impotence of socialism.
mircea_popescu: there's some log discussion of why nothing must ever happen.
asciilifeform: from pov of committee chair-warmer, 'something happening' is as desirable as an out-of-ordinary day at nuke power station
mircea_popescu: apparently i can't find that discussion now.

mircea_popescu: factually, however, ustardian pantsuit visited africa [the nation of~] where they discovered that all-girl classes are a lot easier for the local subtards to handle than mixed classes they had at home

asciilifeform: ( unrelatedly, but before i fughet, observation : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755826 i.e. bastardry handler, is unproductive because it asks 'fill in what we're missing', but 99 out of 100 shots, that's ~another~ bastard. really instead it ought to either 1) send a normal pushgetblocks() to the bastard-emitter , asking him for the ~one and only block we won't reject~, it being the immediately-next-one-after-our-topheight , or

asciilifeform: , 2 ) disconnect from him )
mircea_popescu: especially 2 after 1 fails
asciilifeform: this'd matter moar in practice if 'aggressive' node saw many bastards . but it now sees very few, because immediately pushgetblocks() when it gets visited.
asciilifeform: thing's been purring along, incidentally, at almost 100% blockverificationdutycycle, for most of a day nao.
asciilifeform: almost like it were 2012 again...
mircea_popescu: problem is the tip
asciilifeform: in ~1wk i expect to learn how it behaves at tip.
asciilifeform: ( supposing ben_vulpes et al , dun report sooner )
asciilifeform: ... as mircea_popescu prolly intuited , it remains possible that 'aggression' takes the trb<->prb link breakage from , say, the 80% of before, to 100% , and i would not learn about it until reaching tip.
mircea_popescu: i don't see any change in behaviour. the prb node will produce ~same % of blocks with or without.
asciilifeform: and speaking of this, can haz patch that logs ~from what kind of node~ each ACCEPTED block came ? ( or do i have to do errything meself..? )
mircea_popescu: and in the end you only get the blocks they give.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right, idea being that it is conceivable that 'aggression' increases isolation . i cannot yet rule it out.
mircea_popescu: to soon to see. dun seem like it so far.
mircea_popescu: hard to outdo malleus for that purpose anyway
asciilifeform: well right nao it's pulling blox from other trb's, at ~100% efficiency
mircea_popescu: trb dun get malleus'd anyway
asciilifeform: exactly like what an unpatched trb does for first hour or three of boot
mircea_popescu: but yes, within-republic it's a major improvement.
mircea_popescu: and evidently an improvement whose time had come.
asciilifeform: it is possible that it will improve block reception at the expense of outgoing tx propagation.
asciilifeform: ( and may have to be turned into a toggle knob )
mircea_popescu: "early boost" sorta thing
asciilifeform: ... it is equally conceivable that the thing is a pure win, and dun need to become a knob. we'll see.
asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque what do you recommend for a talking-in-chan bot-tron ? i'd like to hook up 'ffacalc'...
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with the bot he published
mircea_popescu: iirc hanbot was using it to do something trilema-related, sounded happy with it.
asciilifeform: nothing, took me a minute or so to recall that indeed it is posted
asciilifeform: now only remains to plug it in
asciilifeform: and i'll add that if somebody other than asciilifeform feels like doing this operation, i will take off my hat
asciilifeform: ( i recommend bolting the width in place to 256 , to keep lines short )

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not afaik.
mircea_popescu: but honestly i'd prioritize db-fix-and-trb-split discussed over these rather cosmetic by comparison improvements.
asciilifeform: because there's a possibility of speeding sync 100-200x... ( the obvious way. if block sha512's, or keccak's, etc. to a checksum-cum-heighposition that is signed by node owner's l1 -- then ACCEPT )
mircea_popescu: something small and desperately needed like better logs i can see ; but by now you're talking painting walls and such
asciilifeform: not quite cosmetic, this. potentially massive speedup .
asciilifeform: as in , stand up new node in 1wk, instead of 3-4 months.
mircea_popescu: yes yes. but on the proper basis
asciilifeform: it ain't a substitute for the cut-up, no.
mircea_popescu: and you don't want to end up with a split code branch
mircea_popescu: because it will cost someone's time to reconcile.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, v-tronization of blockchain is unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, the replacement-pistols will simply be a patch set.
mircea_popescu: and no more of this "monotonously growing" nonsense. whole item as large as will ever be is given at onset.
mircea_popescu: allocate it all now ; if you can't afford to make smaller coinbase.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: plox to elaborate re 'as large as will be'
mircea_popescu: "new bitcoin has 1mn coins ; which can not be split ; to move a coin from nill address to your address you must [...] ; to move a coin from x address to y address you must [...]".
mircea_popescu: the whole field array-addresable, "coin #58045 is at... offset... 58045. duh."
asciilifeform: this is exactly the picture asciilifeform drew last yr, aha.
asciilifeform: ( for some reason everybody always asks 'how'll you pass out the coins', but this is orthogonal problem! )
mircea_popescu: nobody asks this ; but anyway, if bitcoin prototyping is any guide, 1kb per entry should suffice ; in which case current computing could in principle actually support a coinset between 1mn and 1bn coins.
mircea_popescu: (way way WAY worse than original optimistic estimates of "21mn divisible to 1e8". but what can you do.)
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 05:56 ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i am very curious in how you figure initial distribution might work
mircea_popescu: anyway, evidently the first [...] stands for what's currently termed "mining" while the second for actual spending.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's answer is 'first you pillage , ~then~ you burn, fughetabout it for the time being, have an algo for the basic mechanics that makes sense, first ! )
asciilifeform: and yes.
mircea_popescu: so if nothing else, you can bootstrap it exactly like bitcoin did.
mircea_popescu: "want coins -- go mine."
mircea_popescu: scheme as described ftr works eminently well with http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/ in that "proof of knowing the txset" becomes meaningful past what's going on now
a111: Logged on 2017-12-02 16:22 mircea_popescu: anwyay, revisiting an ancient conversation re http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=mining+is+a+bug : i have to thoroughly concede this point to asciilifeform . the model is as follows : if a) a PoW system exists in which b) a participating entity can recognize work done by itself as opposed to work done by others then it NECESSARILY follow that entity can, and therefore it ALSO follows that it eventually will c) impose further con
asciilifeform: which is retarded.
mircea_popescu: (in fact it is perhaps obvious that was designed with a view to THIS, rather than "extant battlefield")
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mining doesn't have to mean that.
mircea_popescu: consider the fundamental value of regrinding!
mircea_popescu: nobody can know WHO truly authored a patch. just what set of the signatories signed it that they're willing to share with him
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu has thought of a meaning for it that doesn't 'a participating entity can recognize work done by itself as opposed to work done by others' -- i'm all ears
mircea_popescu: this is a sort of gossipd-meets-the original "can't have signature repudiation" problem you encountered in comments there, but REVERSED.
mircea_popescu: ie, it's leveraged to fuck over the miner collusion properties of current pow.
asciilifeform: maybe i'm thick, but i dun see the algo 'between the lines' here
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's model this. let "patch" be a bitfield ; let wot be comprised of l1...ln.
mircea_popescu: let observer E know l1...li of this wot. let observer E observe a P signed by a subset l1...lm of his wot.
mircea_popescu: at this point, how would E discern which party of l1..ln originated P ?
asciilifeform: dun tell me we gotta have the ring signatures thread again
mircea_popescu: suppose P was originated by E.
mircea_popescu: how would E know this ?
asciilifeform: process of elimination?
mircea_popescu: take it like this :
mircea_popescu: at t0, E produces P and signs it. E shares P signed by E with l1...lm.
mircea_popescu: at t1, E perceives P', signed by l1...lk ; which is not an isomorphism of l1...lm, and might wel lnot even include E
mircea_popescu: what now ?
asciilifeform: what does signature even mean, if folx habitually sign both P and ~P
asciilifeform: or do i miss something
mircea_popescu: that they approve.
mircea_popescu: see, the SELECTION of .sigs you see is not promised to cover the whole space!
asciilifeform: consider, what do you do in your wot housekeeping ~today~ to people who habitually sign P ~and~ ~P
mircea_popescu: much like "you can't repudiate signatures -- can't see whole space" discussion in that thread.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you propose E's "process of elimination" is simple bit-comparison of P and P' ?
asciilifeform: nah, there's a time parameter
mircea_popescu: maybe that works.
mircea_popescu: this -- very rough draft.
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact the hook to hang by is there : at the present time how would someone who is hostile (ie, does not trust what we say) discern who originated mpi ?
mircea_popescu: "phf's time oracle". sure.
mircea_popescu: "especially because it agrees with logotron time oracles". sure...
asciilifeform: 1 way, would be by going to his own cellar and fetching optical disk where he has ~his~ mpi
asciilifeform: sorta like what archaeologists do already.
mircea_popescu: an evident issue would be of course that if ownership is implemented as-to-specified-coin as seen in bitcoin, then E has a ready avenue -- "all txn including spends from my own addresses are mine". this is a somewhat weakening of the premise, but perhaps sufficient.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's that prove tho ? winklevoss tards periodically go into their basement/den where they "have" "their own" copy of fb.
asciilifeform: it proves only to him, naturally
mircea_popescu: or that weird geek from early pedo-pedia days, what's his name
asciilifeform: how could it prove to anyone else.
asciilifeform: there is not, nor could there be, a fixed-star for existence proofs. even classical blockchain has the obvious limitations ( discussed numerously, see l0gz )
asciilifeform: ( if you ~could~ get a 'fixed star' , all sorts of marvels not found in nature become possible, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-02#1621087 )

ben_vulpes suffering from a confusion of ideas
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes a node behind a NAT is not capable of being addressed. so it receives no inbound, merely connects out. so it does not participate in lessening the load.
mircea_popescu: this is the problem here : you get a bunch of "nodes" which only connect out, and a few nodes who get hammered. and since no serious thought was given to
ben_vulpes: ah and when its ip gets passed around the network, it simply shits the whole world up.

mircea_popescu: "every 10 minutes pushgetblocks to all peers that advertise higher height than yours" is still wasteful, you will ask 114 people for the same item with your new cuts.
mircea_popescu: how about "pushgetblock to ONE peer randomly selected from the list of peers advertising higher block tip than you have upon every block verification (whether successful or not) and every 10 minutes henceforth"
mircea_popescu: then the "10" can be configurable ; or else it can be calculated by the node, (such as "117% of average time it took me to check the past 144 blocks" for instance)
