jurov no they're all about bahts, have you seen the symbol? [00:00]
mircea_popescu anyway, things are getting pretty much wrapped up, im upgrading mpex.co back online from "this week" to "today". [00:00]
jurov yup, congrats [00:00]
mircea_popescu youtube being fags : http://www.youtube.com/embed/8c1BQkKUsx0 < does not need flash ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c1BQkKUsx0 does need flash [00:03]
jurov have you seen https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49417.msg1610708#msg1610708 ? [00:03]
mircea_popescu howly fuck [00:03]
mircea_popescu it just never ends does it [00:04]
mircea_popescu wait. this is asicminer pool ? [00:04]
dub this DrG idiot [00:04]
gesell mircea_popescu: thanks for the link [00:05]
jcpham yeah mircea_popescu [00:05]
jcpham the op of the asicminer pool decided to fork his pool for a few minutes [00:05]
mircea_popescu so basically asicminer made a shitton [00:05]
jcpham accidentally [00:05]
mircea_popescu and there's going to be drama ? [00:05]
dub not commiserate with teh ideals of bitcoin, kind of person bitcoin does not need.. The person is blatantly and willfully violating the trust of Bitcoin network and for that he/she should be reprimanded. [00:06]
jcpham so while bitcoind was running with no db [00:06]
dub what is this shit [00:06]
gesell mircea_popescu: are you seriously considering a gmail protocol? this seems nuts. maybe you should consider https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149 first [00:06]
jcpham i assume the miners were doing diff 0 shares [00:06]
mircea_popescu dub da fck is this ?! [00:06]
jcpham until the hot wallet was empty [00:06]
mircea_popescu gesell mail is not nuts. mail is the strongest, oldest and in general best service ever implemented on the internet. [00:06]
dub I didn't think bitcoind offered work until it was synced [00:07]
mircea_popescu in the worst case scenario, mail is the backstop. [00:07]
jborkl_ I think it would have been network diff at the point of the blockchain download you were mining [00:07]
gesell mircea_popescu: yes mail is but using google as a trusted host gate, not sure [00:07]
mircea_popescu dub it was prolly bugged. [00:07]
jcpham i upgraded bitcoind today [00:07]
jcpham it resyncs [00:07]
mircea_popescu gesell just had that as an arbitrary name [00:07]
dub yeah new db [00:07]
jcpham dunno how a pool handles the resync [00:07]
jborkl_ at block 195000 it was i think 1.95 m for example [00:07]
mircea_popescu it wouldn't certainly be a case of trusting google. [00:07]
mircea_popescu the discussion was anyway an "in principle" thing. [00:07]
gesell mircea_popescu: okay [00:08]
FabianB MPEx.rb 0.5.0 released (https://github.com/fawuxi/mpex/) includes irc convo logging and a new 'portfolio' command with prediction of your total portfolio value [00:08]
jborkl_ so while he was dl, blocks would have been synching fast- but mining at 200k diff [00:08]
FabianB maximian: ^^ [00:08]
FabianB mircea_popescu: also proxy discovery included now :) [00:08]
jborkl_ for example [00:08]
mircea_popescu FabianB :D [00:09]
mircea_popescu irc logging is a good idea. include a ticker to bold my lines ? :D [00:09]
mircea_popescu i mean a tickbox [00:09]
mircea_popescu "If bank places by mistake 10k into your account, and you cash it out, your will probably rot in jail.." [00:09]
mircea_popescu what world do these people live in, seriously ?! [00:10]
* dgdfgdfg (4f8da71d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.79.141.167.29) has left #bitcoin-assets [00:10]
dub thats true, at least here [00:10]
pigeons if you dont give it back you will [00:10]
FabianB mircea_popescu: it's just the conversation of MPEx.rb with the irc bots, not of this channel [00:10]
jcpham if the pool with the most hashrate is mining on a non -up-to-date copy of the blockchain [00:10]
mircea_popescu FabianB :p [00:10]
jcpham that's an issue [00:10]
mircea_popescu dub they will have to sue for unjust enrichment. they may win it, [00:11]
mircea_popescu but then again they may not. [00:11]
pigeons they always will [00:11]
gesell mircea_popescu: why not use google spreadsheets for graphs and orderbook review? [00:11]
pigeons which is why mp lost in his own hand picked rota [00:11]
gesell in that scenerio you would script updates (not pull from an api, as this might overrun google apps limits) [00:11]
mircea_popescu pigeons not really true. they always will try to convince the person to return it [00:12]
mircea_popescu but afaik such claims are rare. usually cost more to sue than they'd get [00:12]
pigeons really, absoulutely trye. give me one example where its not [00:12]
mircea_popescu gesell you can go right ahead, or what are you asking ? [00:12]
kakobrekla i have seen it happen here and the bank gets the money back one way or another [00:12]
pigeons ive seen plenty where it is true, none where it isnt [00:12]
mircea_popescu pigeons you've seen a case where a bank sued the recipient of an error for unjust enrichment ? [00:12]
pigeons yes [00:13]
pigeons more than one [00:13]
mircea_popescu link or docket or anything ? [00:13]
dub pretty sure its straight up law here [00:13]
assbot [BTCTC] [B.YABMC] 1 @ 0.01401 BTC [-] [00:13]
assbot [BTCTC] [B.YABMC] 1 @ 0.01401 BTC [-] [00:13]
dub bank fucks up, give it back or the police come get you [00:13]
gesell mircea_popescu: well i would be happy to make some spreadsheets to pull the order books but this would require some sort of mpex api (json or xml or whatever) for that and again, leave you open to ddos. but if you pushed the data onto your own public spreadsheet you would avoid any ddos on your public facing graphs and orderbooks [00:13]
mircea_popescu not an expert but iirc it was rare shit. [00:13]
pigeons dont have my lexisnexis here [00:13]
mircea_popescu gesell you seen the faq ? [00:13]
pigeons but sure, i'll remember [00:13]
gesell mircea_popescu: not in bit. checking again [00:13]
mircea_popescu specifically, http://mpex.coinbr.com/faq.html#11 [00:13]
gesell oh didnt see the sierra chart feed [00:14]
gesell and json [00:14]
mircea_popescu json been there for a while. sierra recent addition [00:14]
mircea_popescu also kakobrekla has a websocket feed he's been selling people. [00:14]
gesell mircea_popescu: are those feeds not effected by the ddos? [00:15]
mircea_popescu nothing's affected other than the website which people somehow get fixated on. [00:16]
gesell mircea_popescu: it's the face. but is interesting to contemplate what that means and reshaping it. [00:18]
mircea_popescu let's think together what that means. [00:18]
mircea_popescu domain gets "confiscated", somehow. [00:18]
mircea_popescu nobody cares. moving on. [00:18]
mircea_popescu that's what it means. [00:18]
* [\] has quit () [00:19]
* random_cat has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) [00:20]
gesell mircea_popescu: well its also strange that the proxy seems to be a mirror. as apposed to it being it's own form of interface. [00:20]
pigeons it proxies [00:20]
FabianB well stock trading volume went down, but never stopped; options as usual [00:20]
gesell if the face effects trades then, well, recovery should be monitored. and hopefully there is recovery [00:21]
pigeons or, the face can go away [00:22]
pigeons and people can learn to trade anyway [00:22]
mircea_popescu gesell say what ? i don't follow [00:22]
mircea_popescu the proxy mirror part [00:22]
smickles so the ddoser's name is "the face"? [00:23]
smickles nice [00:23]
deadweasel lol. the face [00:24]
mircea_popescu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140472.msg1610300#msg1610300 << most likely to be agreed with forum person. [00:24]
mircea_popescu you'd never guess it. [00:24]
mircea_popescu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=151880.msg1612122#msg1612122 another one [00:24]
mircea_popescu wtf is going on over there [00:24]
smickles '... or else nazi and nazi' [00:25]
mircea_popescu she called him thermos too [00:25]
gesell mircea_popescu: for lack of a better comparison... say for instance that some brokerage firm was had their own interface to nyse showing trades and tickers. this would "feel" decoupled from the excchange itself so people would not associate the two. if nyse decided to change how they present themselves that brokerage face would not be percieved as, i dont know, a quick crutch to fill the gap. where as when it is mirroring nyse so closely [00:25]
mircea_popescu gesell are you a web developer by any chance ? [00:26]
gesell mircea_popescu: hobby web dev for aesthetics. serious code and hardware hacker for the $ [00:26]
mircea_popescu okay. [00:26]
pigeons basically, mircea_popescu does not care how it "feels" [00:26]
gesell hacker meaning reverse engineer (meaning, f;ing serious) [00:27]
mircea_popescu aha. [00:27]
gesell pigeons: even if he doesnt care. it is still interesting to consider what the market effects of change of face are, and where the middle ground is, and where there is space to innovate in a intuitive way. or maybe there isnt really [00:27]
pigeons not interesting [00:27]
smickles gesell: did you notice that my mpexbot has a direct line into mpex, yet doesn't look like a mirror? [00:28]
mircea_popescu pigeons that is exactly the opposite of reality. i very much care how it feels. which is why the proxy doesn't have spurious dongles, but feels just like the real tihng. [00:28]
gesell pigeons: if change of face did effect trade volume, that is interesting to explore [00:28]
smickles ;D [00:28]
mircea_popescu what i don't care about is appearance bullshit. there's a very good reason for that : unlike the web, the retail market for plastic figurines and fake fags, [00:28]
mircea_popescu i actually have a business. [00:28]
gesell smickles: yeah mpexbot... so it could be that just as mpex forces people to understand that the odd security model is better (and forces people to learn why and learn what pgp is) maybe it is of value to force them to use a different interface in a similar way. but the cause and effect is not as clear with the Web vs Mpexbot, as it was with the gpg protocol [00:29]
mircea_popescu for some reason i have a lot of trouble following this guy. [00:30]
* Anduck has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [00:30]
smickles mircea_popescu: that mpex gui i'm developing is nearly functionally complete [00:30]

mircea_popescu what do they feed you over there, uppers in speedball sauce ? [00:30]
pigeons it better have minecraft [00:30]
FabianB gesell: in both cases you need gpg to trade [00:30]
smickles pigeons: not minecraft, but opengl like was discussed yesterday [00:31]
gesell mircea_popescu: not sure. i think i just dont explain abstract thoughts well. [00:31]
pigeons i want bricks of some sort then [00:31]
smickles i have a screenshot of it [00:31]

kakobrekla i can make you a special 'yes and no is switched' interface [00:41]
mircea_popescu lol [00:41]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla you know this may be a workable idea ? [00:41]
mircea_popescu put a link on main page, "Bad luck lately ?" [00:42]
kakobrekla ahah [00:42]
mircea_popescu if person clicks it site is color switched (everything) [00:42]
smickles lol, what an idea [00:42]
mircea_popescu and yes/no also switched in menus but not in actual effect. [00:42]
mircea_popescu so they go for yes but it bets no [00:42]
mircea_popescu and we see how many people actyually use that. [00:42]

gesell bitcoin-24.com http://bitdata.com/articles/102 [01:10]
mircea_popescu i see bitstamp at 150k [01:11]

gesell perhaps. just mapped their bots edges and it tends to push it's own reserve volume over other bids that it thinks are too low [01:14]
gesell up to a certain limit, perhaps set based on numbers of averages on other exchnages [01:15]
gesell maybe its an arbitrage protection bot, or not sure [01:15]
mircea_popescu this is probably a recipe for disaster [01:15]

gesell mircea_popescu: what do you mean by fake trades? I think on btc24, unlike mtgox, if you buy your fiat gets locked and you cant make another order. same on sell. of course their own local bots could fake, but i could not prove this. and actually they wouldnt have to fake, if all they really want to do is some moderate protection from arbitrage [01:16]
mircea_popescu gesell if the exchange is running it's own bot, [01:16]
mircea_popescu and it is feeding it from the trades on other exchanges [01:17]
mircea_popescu except everyone does this [01:17]
mircea_popescu the net result is a positive feedback loop of great danger [01:17]
assbot [BTCTC] [CRYPTO-TRADE] 2 @ 0.2 = 0.4 BTC [+] [01:18]

mircea_popescu so basically they fucvked up the upgrade. [02:53]
dub 0.8 is unaffected so 0.7 and 0.8 miners have forked [02:53]
mircea_popescu as in, "it's a blocksize issue we've introduced with 0.8" [02:53]

Chaang-Noi i have not made a btc payment for about 12 hours, will this make me saffer even if i use the new client? [03:27]
pigeons Chaang-Noi: just wait [03:27]
Chaang-Noi is there a link with more info on the forum or something? [03:28]

Chaang-Noi thanks [03:28]
mircea_popescu Chaang-Noi your outgoing payments are safe [03:28]
davos meh - its only down 4, less than 10% [03:28]
mircea_popescu crediting incomingpayments may be unsafe, if they are doublespent across the forks [03:28]
davos not a crash [03:28]
mircea_popescu and then they merge into one that doesn't include you being paid. [03:29]

dub double whammy there [05:57]
mircea_popescu EXACTLY [05:57]
mircea_popescu and my point is, they will continue to do so. [05:57]
mircea_popescu because they have no incentive not to. [05:57]
mircea_popescu and if they move back in they're 400 btc out. [05:57]
smickles you've got it backwards tho [05:57]

mircea_popescu ah [05:57]
mircea_popescu this makes sense. [05:57]
mircea_popescu let me guess... so the longer chain is the wrong one. because that's why it's longer [05:58]
mircea_popescu cause nobody mines on it. [05:58]

ThickAsThieves overall this still lowers difficulty next round a little right? [07:50]
maximian Bowjob the network is being saved right now…. it's just taking some time because hashing power is split between two chains. [07:50]
ThickAsThieves they had to remine blocks right? [07:50]
ThickAsThieves and a portion of the hashing is still going to dead blocks [07:50]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves yes it does [07:50]
Bowjob yeah but who is mining on 0.8 still? [07:50]
mircea_popescu diff shall have a hole in it [07:50]
Bowjob they have no clue? [07:51]

ThickAsThieves asicminer is on the main chain, btcguild [07:54]

ThickAsThieves yes [07:54]
ThickAsThieves their blocks will never get confirmed [07:54]
Bowjob by "main" you mean 0.7 [07:54]
ThickAsThieves unless they fork intentionally... [07:54]
ThickAsThieves yes [07:55]

ThickAsThieves the one with majority hashing power [07:55]
mircea_popescu BingoBongo exactly. [07:55]
ThickAsThieves essentially btcguild and the other big ones are doing a 51% attack [07:55]
ThickAsThieves to go back to the .7 chain [07:55]

mircea_popescu midnightmagic i wouldbn't bet on "people" mattering [09:28]
mircea_popescu we are discussing money. [09:28]
midnightmagic people who use bitcoin are the people I'm talking about. [09:28]
midnightmagic they are who create the economy which bitcoin encompasses. [09:28]
mircea_popescu people who use bitcoin have not a fucking clue. [09:28]
mircea_popescu allow me to quote : [09:29]
mircea_popescu I think this means that bitcoin is in jeopardy. [09:29]
mircea_popescu and they hate mpex shares! [09:29]
mircea_popescu WHY ARENT the bitcoin police doing anything about these DDOS attacks? [09:29]
midnightmagic correct, they don't. the thing is a lot of them know that, so what do they do? social proof. and they pick a guy (like satoshi) and decide he is the nearest thing to god. [09:29]
mircea_popescu problem is the god is gone [09:30]
mircea_popescu and it left behind a coven of idiots. [09:30]
midnightmagic And he left a minor southern deity in charge. [09:30]
mircea_popescu the way things play out is popemassacre [09:30]
midnightmagic You know for someone who complains about it so much I'm surprised you're taking such an interest in leading a takeover.. :-) [09:30]
midnightmagic (and by surprised, I mean, "not very surprised") [09:31]
Ukto btw, bitfunder is 100% online. withdraws/ deposits [09:31]
Ukto you guys do okay? :) [09:31]
midnightmagic course. [09:31]
midnightmagic god talks to me. :) [09:31]
BingoBongo mircea_popescu Not at all. Maybe tie the definitive switch to standards only to the next halving? God is gone so let's send things to committee. [09:31]

mircea_popescu midnightmagic im not leading anything, but i'm not standing for nonsensical crap either. [09:32]
midnightmagic You're trying to suggest you could be the lead of a Real bitcoin replacement. :) [09:33]
midnightmagic Or rather.. boob lady is. :) [09:33]
mircea_popescu not really. but i am saying that the current stuff has to go. [09:34]
mircea_popescu actually, i said it months ago. [09:34]
midnightmagic Yes I read that. [09:34]
mircea_popescu i said the moment devs try to act like priests and leverage the obscurity of their bad code into political theosophy... they're screwed. [09:35]
mircea_popescu i guess they don't read english any better than they read their own code. [09:35]
midnightmagic Actually, the reference implementation was never meant to be the end-all canonical version. Satoshi always hoped someone would write a properly-funded, properly engineered client and it would become the canonical client. [09:35]
midnightmagic (sort of [09:35]
mircea_popescu i am aware. [09:36]
midnightmagic I see no examples of political theosophy. You clearly have something in mind: out with it. :) [09:36]
mircea_popescu if you recall, this all started with people knowing which transactions are good. [09:36]
mircea_popescu and which usecases are acceptable. [09:36]
mircea_popescu and on and on. [09:36]
* paci (~paci@50-57-43-202.static.cloud-ips.com) has joined #bitcoin-assets [09:37]
midnightmagic I don't see how a rationale (which Satoshi himself started, btw, by requesting that Wikileaks not use bitcoin yet,) is the snowball accretion of full-blown theosophy. [09:38]
BingoBongo And mircea_popescu many will probably try to sweep it under the rug as LevelDB is broken, because it isn't BerkelyDB. You're on the right track, but I think this was probably the wrong error... [09:38]
mircea_popescu BingoBongo does it make much of a difference ? [09:39]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic wrong step on satoshi's part. let it be broken, rebuild. why protect it ? [09:39]
midnightmagic Currently, the best choice is sipa's blacklist patch, as it allows us to remain on the faster 0.8 while still mining. [09:39]
mircea_popescu if it's good it will prevail. if it sucks it will just crack and something else will come out of it [09:39]
BingoBongo mircea_popescu the difference is probably how much they will try to reiforce their canon against sense... [09:40]
midnightmagic mircea_popescu: blockchain-destroying events tend to set back adoption progress amongst people who are afraid of what everyone else will think. [09:40]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic so ? [09:40]
midnightmagic mircea_popescu: the bootstrapping itself is still going on. [09:40]
BingoBongo "Good" bitcoin will probably have to overtake old by 51% As worse overtook bad tonight [09:40]
mircea_popescu look, like it or not, for this reason or for some other reason, bitcoin is at a point where you can't reasonably pour more moneuy into it [09:40]
mircea_popescu before it's been specified. [09:41]
mircea_popescu if it can't be specified that's a dealbreaker [09:41]
mircea_popescu not such a huge notion this, is it ? [09:41]
midnightmagic BingoBongo: it will overtake depending on its technical and UX merits. [09:41]
mircea_popescu BingoBongo have you read the girl's explanation of why multiforks resolve and aren't a problem economically ? [09:41]
BingoBongo mircea_popescu I might have, I'll recheck her post history. [09:42]
midnightmagic BingoBongo: Think about it this way. uTorrent killed everything else on Windows. [09:42]
mircea_popescu in short : suppose chain forks into 3 different chains today, a b and c [09:42]
midnightmagic mircea_popescu: On the same network? [09:42]
mircea_popescu if you had 10 bitcoins today prefork, you will have 10 a 10b and 10 c bitcoins after the fork. [09:42]
mircea_popescu if you sell b and buy a the price of all will go up and the price of b down. [09:42]
mircea_popescu eventually the fork resolves economically simply because mining costs money. [09:43]
mircea_popescu end of story. money itself is a centralising factor, and as such the slightest flicker amplifies [09:43]
midnightmagic bleah.. the crosschatter would be ridiculous.. [09:43]
mircea_popescu so ? [09:43]
mircea_popescu more drama, more market cap. [09:44]
BingoBongo Ah, this is kind of what I was thinking. I must have read without expressing the sentiment. I believe I've read similar on Trilema as well. [09:44]
mircea_popescu i think so. [09:44]
mircea_popescu to be perfectly candid, many people involved in bitcoin are good honest and well meaning individuals, who know about things. usually those things are coding. [09:44]
mircea_popescu there's a lot more to know than coding in thsi world. [09:45]
midnightmagic crosschatter and high-bandwidth reorg battles would hurt individual consensus. presume the forks are all equal hashrate to begin with: due to the nature of POW, it would be far, far worse in terms of strength against attack. [09:45]
midnightmagic (like way less than 1/3) [09:45]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic no. because attacker wouldn't know which to attack. [09:45]
BingoBongo midnightmagic Win32 killed everything on Windows... Crosschatter happened before, some altcoin late last year did it (no halving fork) and had to be euthanized. [09:45]
midnightmagic that's not the case. [09:45]
mircea_popescu or even... why. [09:45]
midnightmagic you must presume technical acumen on the part of the attacker. [09:45]
mircea_popescu technical yes. [09:46]
mircea_popescu but selecting the coin to attack is not a technical problem. [09:46]
mircea_popescu and you must never presume political acumen on the part of anyone. [09:46]
midnightmagic also economical savvy (as all attackers I have seen have been extremely insightful economically) [09:46]
midnightmagic you must when modelling attack. [09:46]
mircea_popescu here's a bomb for you midnightmagic : [09:46]
mircea_popescu if the devs were a little looser in the ass, would the sort of econ savvy attackers stay that side or join this side ? [09:46]
midnightmagic not godlike power, but intellectually perfect decisions, plus funded by $x dollars. [09:47]
midnightmagic I don't know what that means. [09:47]
mircea_popescu looser in the ass ? it means being used with being fucked in that orrifice. [09:47]
midnightmagic Yeah but what has that to do with anything? Is this your way of saying you're done arguing? [09:48]
midnightmagic "Argument stopper man!" [09:48]
mircea_popescu nah. [09:48]
midnightmagic You could just say so, I'd stop. [09:48]
mircea_popescu i guess it doesn't convey, let me try another way. [09:48]
midnightmagic Okay. [09:49]
mircea_popescu suppose buttcoin has some devs that think all usecases are equally valid, and dorkcoin has some devs who believe using the coin for gambling is spam. [09:49]
mircea_popescu suppose there is one attacker such as you've modeled him. [09:49]
Anduck selling ASICMINER @ 0.76 [09:49]
mircea_popescu which chain is getting attacked ? [09:49]
Anduck pm if interested [09:49]
pigeons by the way people dont think using bitcoin for gambling is spam, they think using bitcoin transactions to signal a lost bet is spam [09:50]
midnightmagic I'd preferentially attack the ones who appeared to be more philosophically aligned with the notion of attack. [09:50]
mircea_popescu same thing pigeons. as long as you're making that call your ass is too tight. [09:50]
midnightmagic Also, if the money is on the side of the all-use-cases-are-valid (i.e. gambling and drugs, hypothetically) then obviously the money is where the attacker goes. [09:50]
mircea_popescu live a little. [09:50]
pigeons ok maybe we should just encode files and upload them to the blockchain ala namecoin too [09:51]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic not so. you will be surprised to find attackers routinely forego hitting higher payoff cooler targets [09:51]
mircea_popescu to focus on the uncool ones. [09:51]
mircea_popescu pigeons if we shouldn't, there should not be call for doing it. [09:51]
midnightmagic mircea_popescu: Well, not in my personal experience. But perhaps that's out-of-date these days. [09:51]
midnightmagic The gambling servers at least are very popular targets. Extorting them is almost a Russian pastime. [09:52]
mircea_popescu that;s brancing the discussion off the germane path tho [09:52]

mircea_popescu sure, irrelevant ventures aren't part of the discussion, if bitcoin stays alpacca we're wasting our time with these concerns/ [09:53]
midnightmagic .. but you defined the two choices earlier. I'm not agreeing that the choices match reality. I'm just hanging out in your hypothetical land because you invited me. [09:54]
* Bowjob has quit (Quit: Page closed) [09:54]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic that's fine, but you pervert the choices when you add riders such as "one is really vanishingly small" [09:54]
mircea_popescu or "neither are payment systems, but gaming servers" [09:54]
mircea_popescu etc. [09:54]
midnightmagic Well if that's not what you meant, perhaps you should define things more narrowly. :) [09:55]
mircea_popescu just leave it stand as it is. the theoretical response to a 51% attack is that the attacker would make more by mining. [09:55]
mircea_popescu the same applies ideologically too. the network won't get attacked for as long as it manages to not stupidly offend. [09:55]
mircea_popescu keeping money ideologically neutral, implementing the old pecunia non olet [09:55]

midnightmagic nah it's not. It's an example of hashrate for sale, and successfully for sale for that matter. [09:57]
mircea_popescu yes, for the purpose of covering a side attack [09:57]
mircea_popescu ie, pirate's confidence scam. [09:57]

jborkl_ I ran .7 and .8 versions, If I had run testnet and made a 1mb block I would have most likely broken .7 [18:35]
mircea_popescu still, more testing WOULD have eventually found it. [18:35]
smickles Namworld: gavin said he would've caught it if he had tested a larger block on the testnet [18:35]
Namworld aye [18:36]
mircea_popescu smickles gotta give props to gavin, he's one of the few that are actually contrite enough. [18:36]
mircea_popescu he might be the only pro in the bunch, too. [18:36]
smickles he only tested 500k blocks, and it happened on a 900k block [18:36]
mircea_popescu 967 or some shit [18:36]
Namworld I'm not saying it couldn't have been found, I'm just refuting that doing more testing on .8 would have given any result. [18:36]
mircea_popescu unauthoritatively my it says berkley seems to choke in this case over about 10k records [18:37]
mircea_popescu Namworld the "on .8" is a meaningless constraint. [18:37]
mircea_popescu who and why would be testing on .8 only ?! [18:37]
jborkl_ really, only test a part of the code against itself? [18:37]
mircea_popescu jborkl_ for great lulz. [18:37]
Namworld I know... but people everywhere say that .8 should have been tested more so the issue would have been found. [18:38]
* Guest85292 has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [18:38]
mircea_popescu well yes. that is correct, it should have been, [18:38]
mircea_popescu nobody is saying "shouldhave been tested more by itself in a vacuum" [18:38]
jborkl_ I just solo mined on .72 again last night until it was all figured out- I knew I kept .72 around and running for a reason [18:38]
Namworld ARGH [18:38]
smickles Namworld: i believe they do test for interaction with older versions [18:39]
mircea_popescu jborkl_ i've always been slow to upgrade, specifically for lack of faith. [18:39]
MJR_ Namworld: I think what they mean is that part of testing a new release is testing it's interactions with other versions for backward compatiblity [18:39]
smickles they certainly outta now [18:39]
Namworld Don't you get it? I'm trying to refute people who think the issue is with .8 and that .8 alone should have been tested more... [18:39]
jborkl_ Yeah, me too- I don't like being the first to change- bit me too many times [18:39]
Namworld Not that more proper testing would not have found the issue (proper with many versions). That more testing of .8 alone would have not changed anything. [18:39]
Namworld This is the only thing I'm trying to say. [18:40]
smickles personall, i include previous version interaction in the testing of one version [18:40]
smickles so it's a silly argument :P differences in definitions [18:40]
Namworld ah, I see. [18:40]
mircea_popescu Namworld a, the issue isn't with .8 [18:41]
mircea_popescu the issue is with berkley db, which was on the way out [18:41]
Namworld THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M FUCKING CLAIMING THAT THE ISSUE AIN'T ON .8! [18:42]
jborkl_ people were all up in arms about having 80 to 1000 unconfirmed transactions waiting. with NO testing, people made larger blocks - that broke BDB [18:42]
jborkl_ 800 [18:42]
* fishfish|AFK is now known as fishfish [18:42]

Namworld I'm talking about people making such claims... not about me making the same claims =/ [18:43]
jborkl_ It could have been handled and implemented properly [18:44]
mircea_popescu No amount of testing would have found the issue. [18:44]
Namworld @smickles: some people even claimed they sticked to an old version specially because of potential such issues with new versions when .8 wasn't the source of the problem. If they had switched it would have been an non-issue. We've reverted to accomodate the bug in .7 and not to leave people behind. [18:44]
jborkl_ .8 should be used, but we are holding back so poor people with shitty connections and shitty hardware can still be here [18:45]
Namworld mircea: I was referring to testing of .8 alone. I'm made an omission in it. I've been trying to correct myself for like the last few minutes =/ [18:46]

jborkl_ They have identified it as .BDB has a limit and can be broken. .8 does not have a limit and seems fine. Lets move back to the broken [18:48]
mircea_popescu i enjoy arguing with him mostly because he seems to go about things in a totally different way than anyone else [18:48]
Namworld When typing fast. [18:48]
mircea_popescu which is a great way to become a laughingstock, sure, but also a great way to find obscure bugs. [18:49]
Namworld Actually I find you go about things in a different way than anyone else... [18:49]
mircea_popescu of course i do. [18:50]
MJR_ can't you change your code in .7 to accept larger blocks? [18:50]
imsaguy no [18:50]
imsaguy its bdb [18:50]
imsaguy .7 can already accept larger blocks [18:50]

mircea_popescu that's not how this works, "o, what bad stuff could happen?" [19:00]

mircea_popescu it takes .11 seconds for an order to go from bot to remote proxy -> to local proxy and back [19:06]

pigeons today I downloaded .7 and have been patiently waiting for my blockchain to download, im not sure if I will continue refunds or just buy a big crack rock and smoke it in a cave some where but I am totally offended by this scammer tag [20:17]
mircea_popescu you got a scammer tag ?! [20:18]
pigeons tom [20:18]
mircea_popescu lol totally offended okay. [20:19]
pigeons https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=143496.msg1614693#msg1614693 [20:19]
mircea_popescu so he couldn't do refunds all through february because the devs borked transition to .9 [20:19]
pigeons yeah [20:19]
mircea_popescu .8*. in march. [20:19]
pigeons "if I was a scammer I could be living it up easy some place warm instead of braving the same upstate new york winters I have been for 30+ years" [20:20]
mircea_popescu well... let's just hope gavin sends him the correct lists then [20:20]
pigeons "If anyone has any idea how I can buy a large amount of bitcoins please message me. The largest amount I can buy from bitinstant is $500 worth ive looked and looked and its near impossible to make a large bitcoin purchase anywhere." [20:21]

mircea_popescu devs say berkeley is broken. it is fine. they forgot to configure it. [20:23]

pigeons you can configure it to use more locks, so far that seems to work just uses a lot more ram but works [20:24]
mircea_popescu the proof of something awful's general cluelessness/irrelevance is the low level mock articles they're pushing out. [20:25]
mircea_popescu there's material here to scathe. [20:25]
mod6 yeah BDB has been a thorn in dev's side for a decade. but sounds like this time they forgot about a landmine they already stepped on once before. [20:26]
mircea_popescu for people into sdice graphs : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80312.msg1614936#msg1614936 [20:27]
mircea_popescu mod6 bring me up to speed, what exactly is the objection ? it is widely deployed and consequently well debugged by now [20:27]
mod6 BTC needs a CVE or something or some sort of post mortum. [20:27]

mircea_popescu http://i.imgur.com/HzcprPZ.png [20:29]
mircea_popescu this particularly is illustrative. [20:29]
mod6 mircea_popescu: its not really an objection. [20:30]
mod6 its just something to be cautious of [20:30]
mircea_popescu ya but i mean, why ? [20:30]
mod6 it escapes me dude [20:31]
mod6 its been too long [20:31]
mircea_popescu lol kk [20:31]
mod6 so many problems over the years [20:31]
mircea_popescu just trying to get smarter over here :p [20:31]
mod6 i couldn't possibly remember them all [20:31]
mod6 im just depressed about this shit [20:31]
mircea_popescu i imagine a number of people are. [20:31]
mod6 i was thinking about the gox issue... [20:33]
mod6 and perhaps what we need is something like rootservers for fiat->btc exchanges [20:33]
mircea_popescu what are those ? [20:34]
mod6 dns has root servers worldwide to resolve requests. thinking that maybe btc could do well to have like 10-13 worldwide exchanges all independant of eachother. [20:35]
MJR_ like DNS ? [20:35]
mod6 not that all the code should be the same. [20:35]
MJR_ but also...those root servers have children [20:36]
pizzaman1337 kakobrekla wants something like the way fx is setup [20:36]
mod6 root servers don't keep the same code either, not exactly anyway, this way it prevents a simutaious attack against all [20:36]
mircea_popescu mod6 it would be good to have many exchanges, but there's problems with getting that to work in p[ractice [20:36]
mircea_popescu because exchanges concentrate liquidity and people chase liquidity [20:36]
mod6 this will help distrbute the load of exchange, and then btc wont have 1 place to look for price signals. [20:36]
MJR_ well, one thing is that instant settlement is going to be harder and harder to scale [20:36]
mircea_popescu personally i think the solution is fixing, but [20:37]
mircea_popescu few people involved actually have enough finance knowledge to get it going yet. [20:37]
* Guest11974 has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [20:37]
kakobrekla true [20:37]
MJR_ fix protocol? [20:37]
kakobrekla gox mus die [20:37]
kakobrekla fix is shit [20:37]
mircea_popescu MJR_ no gais. fixing. [20:38]
MJR_ you lost me [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:18:00 ok, it's like this. suppose the three main dealers are A, B and C. [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:18:13 chair X calls the meeting. X proposes price, say 47.5 [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:18:27 a, b and c go through their books, see what customers want, see what they want on their own account [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:18:45 then they say. a buys 50k usd. b sells 25k usd. c sells 70k usd. [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:18:52 25 + 70 > 50k so its not fixed [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:18:58 x has to call a lower price now [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:19:00 ah that kind of meeting you mean [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:19:01 say 47.3 [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:19:08 now a b and c review their books [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:19:14 think i just need to add some sleep time.... [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:19:14 42 12 40 [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:19:15 etc [20:38]
mircea_popescu Mar 11 09:19:27 this process is called fixing, it's widely used to obtain a price. [20:38]
mod6 and fixing this block size thing is kinda crazy. its like you know when you get a UDP request to your DNS server and the reply from the Zone is > than the max size of UDP, it rolls over to tcp [20:38]
MJR_ well, again I think that could happen on a larger scale... [20:39]
pgp credit lines between exchanges to allow cross exchange arb would be an important start... [20:39]
MJR_ yes exactly [20:39]
mod6 i don't think im smart enough for this stuff. [20:39]
MJR_ pgp: again instant settlement is not sustainable [20:40]
kakobrekla the first important step, realizing that. [20:40]
pgp this would also require something akin to DTCC (depositiory trust clearing corp) where every exchange is a member and keeps money on deposit... [20:40]
MJR_ or even wise...since cold storage == instant [20:40]
mircea_popescu pgp that could easily be implemented using the mpex push for isntance [20:41]
mircea_popescu or independently, but pgp is a good solution to keep it safe. [20:41]
pgp indeed [20:41]
mircea_popescu problem is every exchange wants to act as if in a vacuum, because [20:41]
mircea_popescu they perceive they lack any distinguishing features [20:41]
kakobrekla the problem is exchange ops are retarded [20:41]
* molec has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [20:41]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla basically. [20:42]
mircea_popescu the problem with bitcoin in general is the userbase is dumb. [20:42]
MJR_ well not educated financially [20:42]
mircea_popescu devteam, miners, pool ops, exchange ops, everyone is... you know... draftees [20:42]
mircea_popescu people picked off the street [20:42]

pgp yes - with the exception of bitfloor, it doesn't seem that these exchanges are run by anyone familiar with how "real" exchanges (and clearing operations) actually work... [20:43]
kakobrekla bitlol [20:43]
mod6 i got trolled so hard by my gf for this shit yesterday [20:43]
MJR_ so you need people who are tech AND finance savvy [20:43]
kakobrekla guy got fucked a comple of times no? [20:43]
MJR_ he did [20:43]
mod6 we're the laughing stock [20:43]
kakobrekla over confidend [20:43]
kakobrekla nt [20:43]
mircea_popescu pgp bitfloor, the guys currently owinfg like 900x what they'll ever make ? [20:43]
MJR_ well...last I checked there was only one exchange that hasn't been hacked [20:44]
pizzaman1337 so what is the "proper" way to run an exchange? where can I read about this? [20:44]
kakobrekla The book of Kako [20:44]
kakobrekla Kako accually means how [20:44]
mircea_popescu pizzaman1337 this ain't knitting we're discussiong here man. [20:44]
kakobrekla so it makes sense. [20:44]
MJR_ well, paranoia does not an efficient market make [20:44]

mircea_popescu you read about it in school, which costs dough [20:44]

mircea_popescu pizzaman1337 no but srsly, this is the sort of thing people pay in the 100's of k's for, [20:45]
mircea_popescu it's not exactly "go to wikipedia" sort of thing [20:45]
MJR_ it is pretty sad that the biggest exchange can't handle orders in less than 5 min [20:46]
pizzaman1337 well, there must be some info on it somewhere that I could get access too [20:46]
mircea_popescu MJR_ mpex doesn't do fiat tho, so it's kinda moot for this problem [20:46]
kakobrekla s/5min/30min [20:46]
MJR_ don't know of anyone getting hacked for fiat [20:46]
pigeons heh [20:46]
pigeons no? [20:46]
mircea_popescu what's sad is that they take ~5k a month in hardware costs to process 8k trades in 30 minutes [20:46]
pigeons look harder [20:46]
mircea_popescu if we scale this liniarly we discover it'd cost more than it's worth to have ti trade [20:46]
MJR_ I meant the bitcoin exchanges [20:47]
pigeons yes [20:47]
pgp for starters, most all exchanges today pay you to add liquidity to their book - the so called "maker-taker" fee model. [20:47]
MJR_ exactly what pgp said [20:47]
mircea_popescu pgp the reason is they're mixing bizdev with the fee schedule. [20:48]
pigeons mjr_ where have you been? bitininstant lost usd a few days ago [20:48]
pigeons what about bitcoinica? what about every single one? [20:48]
MJR_ ... [20:48]
MJR_ they stole usd from the servers [20:49]
MJR_ ? [20:49]
pigeons yes [20:49]
pgp moreover, because like asset exchanges belong to the same "clearing clubs", they can route orders to one another to ensure "best execution" for their customers (while, of course, charging for that convenience)... [20:49]
mircea_popescu yeah ? [20:49]

pigeons via paypal from vircurex [20:50]

mod6 all independant of eachother that aren't scams [20:56]
MJR_ but even better opportunity for someone to route flow between exchanges [20:56]
MJR_ lol, not being scams is key [20:57]
mod6 and security [20:57]
mod6 if they were modeled after mpex, that'd be a start [20:57]
MJR_ I really think a gpg based order system would be nice [20:57]
mod6 not the SAME code, but similar to avoid attacks upon a weakness found in one [20:57]
mod6 similar to rootservers [20:58]
MJR_ I agree [20:58]
mircea_popescu mod6 one of the key reasons why i keep the code closed. [20:58]
mod6 *nod* [20:58]
mircea_popescu people would just mindlessly replicate it (see bitfinex) then we'll be well fucked [20:58]
MJR_ but also...I really think node and branch will be needed [20:58]
mod6 and really... the UDP (TCP when needed) is a model that the guys should be looking at to solve this blocksize issue [20:58]
mircea_popescu in a sense mpex is constructed exactly opposite of how bitcoin is constructed. [20:59]
mod6 any thoughts on that? anyone know what I'm referring to? [20:59]
mircea_popescu keep the specification open and the implementation proprietary [20:59]
mircea_popescu versus the keep the specification equal to the unreadable codebase. [20:59]
MJR_ know exactly what you are talking about [20:59]
jcpham you access mpex through open standards [20:59]
MJR_ I wrote a program to monitor how often we need to fail over to TCp for our data feeds [20:59]
jcpham how it works is not your concern [20:59]
mircea_popescu mod6 originally i thought it was udp p2p [21:00]
jcpham unicorns are definitely walking in hamster wheels though [21:00]
mircea_popescu http://zgp.org/pipermail/p2p-hackers/2004-December/002221.html [21:00]
mircea_popescu it is after all 2004s stuff [21:00]
mircea_popescu but apparently... [21:00]
MJR_ I think it's multicast tcp? [21:00]
mircea_popescu MJR_ im not even sure at this point. [21:01]
* mod6 reads [21:01]
MJR_ I think bitcoin-assets is the bleeding edge of the bleeding edge [21:02]
jurov mod6, how would UDP help in blocksize issuie? [21:03]
MJR_ when you think that people on coinbase are probably still in the innovators (before 18%) stage...wow [21:03]
pigeons really? its second to -otc in stupid [21:03]
pigeons all your fancy exchange routing will be done via ripple [21:04]
MJR_ I can't remember your exact quote mircea_popescu but something like "if you want to use crypto currency but don't understand cryptography..." [21:04]
mod6 jurov: not UDP [21:04]
mircea_popescu MJR_ something like that. [21:04]
mircea_popescu pigeons why isn't it now ? [21:05]
mod6 jurov: we can learn a thing or two, perhaps, about how DNS solves the issue. UDP is meant to be fast, and arbitrarily large since forward/reverse zones can contain an large amount of entries. [21:05]
assbot [BTCTC] [B.YABMC] 1 @ 0.00755 BTC [+] [21:05]
mircea_popescu mod6 of course, the blockszie issue wasn't hitting the transport layer [21:05]
MJR_ I think a central clearing corp, that only needs to transfer the diff between exchanges will be the best way [21:05]
mircea_popescu MJR_ except on the day it gets attacked. [21:06]
mircea_popescu i don't even mean government necessarily. [21:06]
mircea_popescu look what happened in ny when the clearing corp got flooded [21:06]
mod6 but when the size of UDP gets over 65,535 bytes (need to double check), it simply converts it to TCP and sends it that way. something can be learned from this, nothing more. [21:06]
pigeons mircea_popescu: cause people are transitioning from doing it via the private standalone django app to the new ripple but it is being done now [21:06]
mod6 im not saying about the transport, or anything [21:06]
mod6 im simply saying, look at how this problem was solved [21:06]
MJR_ true [21:06]
mircea_popescu pigeons on superficial analysis ripple seems just the place where the curerent bitcoindev rats will sucrry to [21:06]
mircea_popescu once they get their altar broken for reals. [21:06]
pigeons yes perhaps, but currency liquidity flowed throug it before and will continue too, [21:07]
mod6 i dunno, i guess i'd have to spend some time in there. and the client needs to be combed through [21:07]
mod6 and hacked [21:07]
jurov mod6, maximal packet size (or MTU) is hard fact baked into ethernet from the beginning, not some broker earlier implementation [21:07]
mod6 slice and dice shit out of there that needs to be replaced. [21:08]
jurov *broken [21:08]
mircea_popescu mod6 actually once you're done with the iphone app, a very good use of someone's time is to go through the codebase and summarize it [21:08]
mircea_popescu that;s usually a good step towards specification. [21:08]
MJR_ mircea_popescu: what iphone app? [21:08]
mod6 i never wanted to touch bitcoin's client or anything else because the #bitcoin-dev is filled with pompus retards [21:08]

jurov mircea_popescu one thing i don't understand, you aren't going to hire any devs yourself cause it isn't worth the conflict and drama? [22:11]
jurov what do you plan to do, then? [22:11]
mircea_popescu jurov atm the plan ios to push for spec [22:11]
mod6 it shouldn't be up to one dude to pay for all this shit... [22:11]
mircea_popescu and ideally remove the current devteam's license to release new clients. [22:11]
mircea_popescu past this point. [22:11]
jurov and who will do the spec? have any allies to do it together? [22:12]
mircea_popescu then once we have spec they can fix their fucked codebase and release a proper client [22:12]
mircea_popescu jurov : perhaps. one sec [22:12]
mircea_popescu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152027.msg1614847#msg1614847 [22:13]
mod6 i just feel like, this should be like a HACK THE PLANET type thing, and people who want this to work will make it work. [22:13]
mod6 im not sure what planet these guys are on, but if this is their baby and they have commitbits to the most widely used full-node base, they aught to make sure it functions correctly. [22:14]

mircea_popescu jurov anyway, the problem isn't as much the drama, but moreover that a single-source codebase is both non-bitcoiny and suspect. [22:18]
mircea_popescu but i think if we can get one (or ideally multiple) people to summarize the code [22:18]
mircea_popescu we can pretty much derive a spec from there. [22:18]
mircea_popescu this wouldn't take much longer than a few weeks for a first draft, which can then be argued and refined [22:19]
mircea_popescu in my experience any devteam resists such an effort like cats resist washing, because coders love to write but hate having to read code. [22:19]
mircea_popescu hiowever, once it's complete there's a few day's worth of facepalming and going "wait, we are doing W?HAT ?!" [22:20]

mircea_popescu a. i hire someone. well... this opens the political problem of "oh, he's mp's puppet". [22:24]
mircea_popescu b. i set up a prize which anyone may claim. well... this opens the idiocy problem of "oh, I don'tneed his money, what does me take for, a starving artist????" [22:25]
mod6 right. no, this needs to be something that is adopted by the users of the system. [22:25]
mircea_popescu + "it's not enough" drama + trying to get the pruize with as little work as possible etc [22:25]

mircea_popescu it's in any case not something i have to call today. [22:26]
mircea_popescu jurov certainly. [22:26]
jurov maybe i'll hire amir taaki.. he'll do gladly for food and shelter [22:27]

jurov mod6 what outer space metaphors are you onto again.... [22:27]
mod6 the best kind [22:28]
dub so this fucking agent calls me in yesterday to show the same offer as last week, only on paper [22:28]

jurov *bride [22:32]
dub benkay: houses [22:32]
mircea_popescu jurov she's a little worn i nplaces. [22:32]
mircea_popescu and there's a crack [22:32]
mod6 So, what I'm saying is, I think it's a really good thing to create a spec, and then everyone can punch eachother in the nuts over it until its perfect. This is the way to go. [22:33]
mircea_popescu more like a gash really. [22:33]
mircea_popescu mod6 werd. [22:33]
benkay there will eventually be an incentive for the miners to disregard devsquad [22:33]
benkay in retrospect, i'm a little surprised they didn't this time [22:33]
mod6 I think, at least for myself, every time I had to write a paper, or have written some code; I've gone back the next day or at some later date and done a `wtf?' [22:34]
mircea_popescu benkay exactly. [22:34]
benkay ^^ erryday. [22:34]
mod6 even the other night, i wrote that code quick that worked. i mean, it kinda worked, in the way that it fucked a donkey. [22:34]
mircea_popescu the btcguild people got fucked for ~2k btc because of it. [22:34]
mircea_popescu this keeps up, soon enough idiots will not have the dough to keep going [22:34]
mircea_popescu much like btc finance was cleanned up. [22:34]
mod6 but then you know, you review, you think about it, you make changes and it gets better. [22:34]
benkay it's a painful process [22:35]
mircea_popescu good. [22:35]
benkay dunno if i agree about that. [22:35]
jurov mod6 yea but if you don't painstakingly document it it just won't go past some threshold [22:35]
benkay i don't optimize for pain. [22:35]
benkay rather the opposite. [22:35]
mircea_popescu i do. [22:35]
benkay heh. [22:35]
mircea_popescu it delivers superb results. [22:35]
mircea_popescu the more people are hurt, the better stuff comes out. [22:35]
mod6 i beat dead horses [22:35]
Lyspooner where'd the 2k btc figure come from? [22:36]
mod6 i've said that before. but usually my code works too. [22:36]
mod6 ;] [22:36]
jurov yes bitcoind usually works, too [22:36]
mircea_popescu Lyspooner they lost ~1.2k because the new .8 redownloaded the chain and they autopaid miners submitting as if low diff [22:36]
mod6 haha [22:36]
benkay i optimize for pleasure within my in-group, and i let the rest of the world experience their own mistakes. [22:36]
mircea_popescu they lost a further however much cause of discarded blocks [22:36]
Lyspooner mircea_popescu were they auto-paying miners with coins older than 120 blocks since mined? [22:37]
mircea_popescu yes, the op was quite clear about having lost the 1.2k [22:37]
Lyspooner isn't that the op's fault then? [22:37]
mircea_popescu cause they did what tho ? upgraded ? [22:37]
mircea_popescu sure, it's their fault. [22:38]
Lyspooner anything faster than 120 blocks is the ops fault [22:38]
mircea_popescu because why ? [22:38]
Lyspooner they are paying miners with fresher coins than is safe [22:38]
mircea_popescu i don't think you understand the problem. [22:38]
mircea_popescu as the blockchain was being downloaded, the difficulty was corresponding to very old blocks, ie, very low. [22:39]
jurov Lyspooner pools attract noobs on fast payouts, is that surprising for you? [22:39]
mircea_popescu as miners submitted current work, they were paid for their share of contribution to that low difficulty [22:39]
mircea_popescu ie, very much. [22:39]
Lyspooner maybe i misunderstand mining pools' payouts. but if i do work now, i shouldn't be paid until t+120 [22:40]
mircea_popescu yea well it's not how it works out in practice. [22:40]
mircea_popescu and speaking of that 120... YET MORE MAGIC NUMBERS FUCKING HELL [22:41]
Lyspooner but that's the risk that mining pool ops assume [22:41]
jurov kakobrekla you didn't got doublespended on smpake.com? [22:41]
