The re-compile usually takes a few minutes. Not more than say 15. [00:22]
assbot Logged on 01-03-2016 08:54:01; ben_vulpes: i am also curious to hear about how long the bitcoind recompile is in your various workflows, asciilifeform, phf, mod6, punkman, jurov [00:22]
mod6 Again, this is for -recompile- only. Not for initial build. Not for newbs either. [00:22]
mod6 mircea_popescu: interesting day re-betbet txn & miner witholding. [00:23]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: It's how the html you submitted parses. Looks legible even if some line spacing is weird. I just assumed you did that for emphasis. [00:23]

mod6 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-03-2016#1419713 << seems ok. at least a guy can rebroadcast. [00:28]
assbot Logged on 02-03-2016 00:11:53; kakobrekla: i guess its time to add 'raw hex tx' data for re-broadcasting to bitbet resolved bets [00:28]

PeterL to me, it seems like it was just a miner holding onto a zero fee txn, and it happened to move to the top of the 0 fee txn pile right after you resent the txn [12:02]
mircea_popescu you're a college man, right ? tokenize the events, assets probabilities per token, calculate the overal chance of this happening. [12:03]
mircea_popescu that's how the pros do it, at any rate. [12:04]

PeterL have you timed how long it normally takes a 0 fee txn of that size to get into a block? [12:04]
mircea_popescu yes we have! it takes it over a week to NOT get into a block :) [12:04]
mircea_popescu and it's very scientific : same exact tx! [12:04]

mircea_popescu i am saying that i spent OVER A WEEK making transactions from those inputs. [12:56]
kakobrekla and for the next tx will it again take a week and not be done again ? [12:57]
mircea_popescu and, ironically, the substantial proof that there was nothing wrong with any of them PER SE, was that a tx that, as per the protocol, should not even have been relayable made it into a fucking block [12:57]

PeterL I still dun see why you jump to the conclusion of miner holding blocks, maybe they rebroadcast the transaction as they moved it from "0fee waiting line" to "now including these txen" when they had held it long enough for the wait time to increase its priority? [13:11]

mircea_popescu for a week or so, in preference of higher fee replacements ? sure. why ? [13:19]
mircea_popescu it is breaking the protocol inasmuch as a protocol exists. [13:19]
mircea_popescu it's certainly not a behaviour supported or even possible by any codebase so far published, if you think code=protocol instead. [13:20]
PeterL why not hold onto a 0fee txn until later? [13:20]
mircea_popescu because it's part of a set of mutually incompatible txn, and some of the others have better fees, for instance. if you're am iner, you want the higher fee. [13:20]
PeterL but is the protocol to keep older txn or newer, does fee size matter? [13:21]
mircea_popescu the protocol is that 0 fee txn can't even be relayed. [13:22]
PeterL what if it is just somebody trying to scam by getting a party to accept a 0conf txn, and then double spending it? [13:22]
kakobrekla 0 fee txn can't even be relayed. < this is not true [13:22]
mircea_popescu write down what a party would need in order to do this. [13:22]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla hey, "spam protection", i didn't write it. [13:23]
kakobrekla they relay but not as well. [13:23]
mircea_popescu but yes, because "the protocol" is not even written down, endless arguments of this nature can be had. by and large... [13:23]
PeterL ok, I buy some egold from bob, send him 1 btc. He sees the 0conf txn, transferes the egold to me, then I doublespend the inputs with a higher fee, sucks to be him [13:24]
kakobrekla there are many different version of nodes and implementations abiding by different rules on bitcoin network. [13:24]
mircea_popescu PeterL this is miserable "writing down". what are you, a consumer ? HOW do you doublespend. [13:25]
kakobrekla and this makes it, to an extent, unpredictable. [13:25]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla or so we thought. but it turns out that no, there's exactly one, covered in a cloud of buzzing shit. [13:25]
PeterL and the miners in your scheme see the higher fee and put the second txn in a block [13:25]
kakobrekla there isnt one. trb behaves differently than prb if nothing else. [13:25]
mircea_popescu PeterL how is this related to what happened ? [13:25]
kakobrekla even different trb build do different stuff. [13:26]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla and guess what - trb gets blackholed now and again. prb never mattered. [13:26]
kakobrekla same goes for prb. [13:26]
PeterL you seem to think you can just send a new txn with a higher fee and expect it to get processed faster [13:26]
mircea_popescu the miners are running their own shit, and it's centralized. [13:26]
mircea_popescu PeterL this is not what was said! didja read the qntra piece ? [13:26]

punkman so one thing that hasn't been mentioned, does trb even replace transactions when new one comes in with higher fee? [13:27]
mircea_popescu punkman iirc no, but the plan was to get the pool sorted by per/kb tx fee [13:28]
mircea_popescu ring buffer and all that. [13:28]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: granted, i have nfi what the heathens run. [13:28]
mircea_popescu more importantly, "the protocol is X" "no because implementation y" "implementation Y is noncompliant" "no" "because ?" "uhhh" [13:29]
PeterL Where is the protocol documented? [13:29]
kakobrekla hm qntra just fucked up my comment. apparently you cant use < and > in comments huh [13:30]
mircea_popescu by and large, very broadly speaking, and insasmuch as a "bitcoin protocol" even exists at all - it says that 0 fee txn aren't relayed or included. now, how this is implemented in practice... w/e. [13:30]
asciilifeform PeterL: nowhere. [13:30]
punkman which implementations do you think would accept the subsequent higher-fee transactions (putting aside the fact that you couldn't see the first 0fee tx in anyone's mempool)? [13:30]

punkman mircea_popescu: which implementations would accept a replacement tx with a fee, assuming they still have the 0fee tx in mempool [13:34]
kakobrekla thats a good q [13:35]
mircea_popescu from experience, the stuff the chinese miners run would, at least most of the time. historically i thought this is just random variance between divergent implementations, but now i think it's a single unit behaviour modulated somehow. also, this is essentially what "Replace by fee" is all about, iirc. [13:35]
punkman relevant: "Bitcoin Core will only allow replacement of transactions which have any of their inputs’ nSequence number set to less than 0xffffffff - 1." (in 0.12 release) [13:36]
mircea_popescu you have to understand that the direct correlate of "bitcoin protocol is nowhere" is that i'm stuck sitting here wasting tons of resources and various people's time doing an endless array of stupid or plain weird shit to see what happens to try and understand what's what. [13:36]
mircea_popescu the advantage being, of course, that i have a whole lot of canaries in all sorts of apparently unexpected places. the drawbacks... heh, let's not talk about that, i'll just get angry. [13:36]
mircea_popescu punkman the notion that prb is relevant to this discussion is shocking/ridiculous, depending on your mood. [13:37]
kakobrekla prb is what relayed your txes to the miner gates. [13:37]
asciilifeform a good chunk of the 'protocol' as i pictured it, turned out to be... promise. [13:37]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla not even. prb is more or less the random noise. [13:38]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform sadly. [13:38]
kakobrekla who else is then connected to the miners? do tell? [13:38]

kakobrekla hence i dont agree with your interpretation of events (that bbet/you is targeted here - in which case its game over) [13:43]
PeterL I guess you cold test whether you are directly connected to miners or bridged by prb nodes: send a txn which prb does not like, see if it gets included in a block [13:43]
mircea_popescu well, you have a large pile of stuff to explain away then. i'd be curious to read the alt theory kakobrekla [13:43]

mircea_popescu that's actually a good thing to document punkman [13:46]
asciilifeform i accepted because i saw it alive right here. [13:46]
asciilifeform and have been picking up radar echoes of it for ~year. [13:46]
kakobrekla arguably i have more actual experience with sending txes than alf. [13:46]
punkman asciilifeform: did you manage to bet 5btc twice when your tx got stuck? [13:46]
BingoBoingo who here has control over approving the comments ? Approved nao [13:46]
asciilifeform and, for that matter, i predicted that miners would turn, long ago. [13:46]
mircea_popescu more generally, you can't bring arguments as to what the standard is on the basis of "look what this implementation does". the illustrative case of this being the four men in a dark room with an elephant. [13:47]
kakobrekla BingoBoingo one should be removed and one approved, hopefully you noticed that [13:47]
asciilifeform punkman: nope, but the bullet whistled by [13:47]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla> arguably i have more actual experience with sending txes than alf. << well, that was a discussion of mempools i thought, so i'm not sure this reduction is relevant. [13:47]

kakobrekla i dont see the events that took place as randomly impossible [13:48]
asciilifeform kakobrekla: a whole fuckload of 'random' in one direction. [13:49]
mircea_popescu nothing is randomly impossible. i have no argument there. [13:49]
asciilifeform i can fall through the floor. [13:49]
asciilifeform randomly. [13:49]
asciilifeform physics - allows it. [13:49]
mircea_popescu this actually can happen, ftr. [13:49]
asciilifeform aha. tunneling. [13:49]
mircea_popescu enough space if the particles arrange just right [13:49]
asciilifeform more than enough. [13:49]
kakobrekla the odds of that are less than the odds of what we observed. and i think the odds of ko [13:49]
kakobrekla spiracy are also less than randomness. [13:50]
kakobrekla konspiracy* [13:50]
mircea_popescu well, incredibly enough, nobody has actually calculated the fucking odds, to support this view. [13:50]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this is not a thing you can actually do [13:50]
asciilifeform none of the necessary priors are known. [13:51]
mircea_popescu so then on what does he base himself ? [13:51]
asciilifeform wishes? [13:51]
mircea_popescu i dunno, i'm just asking. [13:51]
asciilifeform kakobrekla this is not even the first botched payout on bb! [13:51]
mircea_popescu i suppose you know, gut feeling. can go either way. which is why i said, doesn't have to accept anything. [13:51]
asciilifeform how many bullets do you need to catch before you stop saying 'meteorite' and shoot back. [13:51]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform the first set was ~arguably~ due to the malleator magically failing on select txn [13:51]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: aha, which is why i did not ring the alarm. [13:52]
mircea_popescu which at the time i did buy as a sufficient explanation. [13:52]
BingoBoingo historically i thought this is just random variance between divergent implementations, but now i think it's a single unit behaviour modulated somehow << Could be turdacious relay network or it's replacement's evil [13:52]

kakobrekla one thing that goes through my mind is that trb/mps infrastructure is on the border of 'consensus' behavior of most nodes. this makes it more susceptible to odd/unwanted shit happening. [13:53]

mircea_popescu what, 40% uptime ? ok ? [13:55]
kakobrekla BingoBoingo one however does not validat :p [13:55]
mircea_popescu by this measure most datacenters are in kenya. [13:55]
kakobrekla the 40% uptime nodes bring your tx to the miners, news at 11 or when are those. [13:56]

asciilifeform i' [13:59]
mircea_popescu hey, it's a protocol, right ? [13:59]

mircea_popescu for this fucking reason. [14:00]
asciilifeform especially then. [14:00]
mircea_popescu what can i say. [14:00]
asciilifeform heterogeneity in software is an illusion in every case. [14:00]
mircea_popescu if only. protocols would be so much easier to both design and implement, if this were true. [14:00]
asciilifeform and certainly there is nothing truly heterogeneous about 11 old versions of satoshi's crud. [14:01]
asciilifeform running on 4 generations of x86. [14:01]
mircea_popescu sure, in a general sense. [14:02]
asciilifeform ~usefully defensive~ heterogeneity is an illusion. [14:02]
mircea_popescu that wasn't contemplated. [14:02]

mircea_popescu why the fuck is anything. because software sucks ? [14:05]
asciilifeform prolly. [14:07]
kakobrekla anyway paying out the bet with a different set of inputs after you have made a broadcast of the signed tx from the first inputs even to a single node, without moving those inputs elsewhere first, is a noobish mistake. why you were unable to do that is a different matter. [14:07]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: trb didn't even get off the runway until magic constants, recall. [14:07]
mircea_popescu how is it a mistake ? [14:07]
mircea_popescu you think i'd rather have 18 btc than know all this ? i wouldn't. [14:07]
kakobrekla becase i assume you know once you put out a signed statement of spending some outputs those can actually be spent at a later time if they are still there. [14:08]
mircea_popescu part and parcel of how this all works. [14:09]

* moli has quit (Quit: //..//..) [14:09]
kakobrekla its like gpg signing "i give you half of pile x" the reciever says "didnt get the message at all" and then you go ok nvm "i give you half of pile y" now. [14:10]
mircea_popescu this part isn't controversial. [14:10]
kakobrekla you dont have to accept it is. [14:11]
mircea_popescu wait, what ?! [14:12]
kakobrekla actually, to put it in another way, im surprised you are surprised over the events that happened given your set actions. [14:14]
kakobrekla set of* [14:14]
mircea_popescu whether i am surprised or not is not included in this discussion. i don't recall saying i was surprised, nor does over-the-lan telepathy historically work. moreover, my own state is deeply irrelevant : the problem is there, and it's grinning at you. [14:15]
PeterL I don't see a problem, you signed two transactions and they both were mined, where is the problem? [14:16]
BingoBoingo The timing [14:16]
mircea_popescu mkay then. [14:16]
kakobrekla if you arent/werent surprised means you sort of expected it? [14:16]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla yes, by the time the 4th txn trying to pay out bitbet vanished without a trace, i was sort-of expecting it. [14:17]
kakobrekla why go then sign another tx with fresh inputs to seal the deal ?? [14:17]
mircea_popescu or at any rate something-like-it. of the vast array of various nonsense readily available in ample stores on this networked currency of the future. [14:17]
mircea_popescu so that the problem can be fully exposed, in detailed, solid fact, so as to be handwaved by people. [14:18]
mircea_popescu i'm a masochist like that. [14:18]
PeterL but what is the problem? seems the networked worked as advertised? [14:18]
asciilifeform PeterL: 'when it feels like it' [14:19]
mircea_popescu PeterL looky, i'm not going to carry on this conversation. i get it, you wish to be dense and stonewall. fine, but stop derping at me about it. [14:19]
asciilifeform in that sense - yes. [14:19]
asciilifeform i for one am disappointed, i expected there would be a lively thread re: the exact how-tos of applying boot to some well-deserved faces in the middle kingdom and elsewhere. [14:20]
PeterL tx1 was sent, included in a block at t1, tx2 was sent, included in a block at t2, the fact t1 and t2 are close together is just a coincidence, not a problem [14:20]
mircea_popescu dude... [14:20]
asciilifeform *well-deserving [14:20]
mircea_popescu did you get the part where tx2 is really tx1 and was sent 8 days prior to what you insanely call tx1 ? [14:21]
PeterL no, tx2 is not tx 1 because they have different inputs [14:22]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i've been thinking about it, but i don't think this is actually resolvable. as it happens - the "magically working network - we don't know how it works" thing is much more appealing to the average joe than you know, "this is my node. i will defend it with my life". what life, are you kidding, got sitcoms to watch and shit. [14:23]
PeterL t1 is after t2 makes sense since tx1 had 0 fee, while tx2 had a fee and was therefore included faster [14:23]
mircea_popescu so... no. you can't solve the problem of fiat through technological means, be they bitcoin or anything else. the same people that abandoned the fiat to "mysterious entity" will just as readily abandon bitcoin, and their own asshole. [14:23]
PeterL so the lesson here is "don't send 0 fee txen if you are not patient enough to wait a few weeks" [14:24]
mircea_popescu in other news, https://bitbet.us/ << bitbet payouts suspended as seen there. [14:24]

asciilifeform no shit! [14:26]
mircea_popescu hey, i'm in the business of fundamentals, apparently. [14:27]
asciilifeform hey it beats being in the business i'm in (swimming in tank of shit with shit-eating pirannhas) [14:28]
asciilifeform so far the only solutions i can picture divide into 2 classes, [14:29]
asciilifeform a) tmsr takes up some form of mining [14:29]
asciilifeform or [14:29]
asciilifeform b) tmsr shows the vermin their place [14:30]
asciilifeform but if mircea_popescu coughts up a (c), i'll enjoy reading. [14:30]
PeterL what does it mean by b? what does this entail? [14:31]
kakobrekla as i mentioned before, if you really believe that miners are conspiring against bitbet (via known outputs and amounts) then its game over for bb. [14:32]

pete_dushenski to 9% average annual inflation before you even account for the 11% greater production supply of the new model. [20:41]
