mircea_popescu in more practical news - jurov here's one for you. https://bitbet.us/bet/1247/parties-smer-sd-and-sns-to-win-supermajority-in/ is to be resolved. problem is the res source gives vote % and not a word re seats, and the bet is re seats. [00:18]

danielpbarron nubbins`, it looks like you're the one throwing a tantrum, and it "shouldn't work that way" is the general complaint in here against bitcoin for some time now. this event was more like the last straw kinda thing [10:22]

danielpbarron i'm not interested in bitcoin if he's not interested in it [10:32]
danielpbarron it's not like the code is something wonderful to behold. The only thing it had going for it was that some important people found a use in it for a time [10:34]
shinohai Not a lord here, but I have a lot of time invested in trb and I agree with danielpbarron. [10:34]
shinohai Eventually one has to stop building with legos and mve on to more robust materials. [10:35]
kakobrekla actually this somewhat fixes "bitcoin is too accessible" as the requirements to include tx in a block are having your own block producing setup [10:36]
asciilifeform kakobrekla: except - cartel. go, make a block. [10:37]

asciilifeform nubbins`: the point re: mpex is valid imho. [10:39]
asciilifeform it did not explain mircea_popescu's observations though [10:40]
asciilifeform gotta explain the resurrected tx, no? [10:41]
asciilifeform i saw same thing when sending a lee sedol bet a few wks ago [10:41]
punkman gotta explain why the 0fee tx wasn't visible in anyone's mempool for days, although I don't know how exactly mp examined the mempools and of which nodes he was connecting to [10:42]

asciilifeform (and here was even the high-S thing also involved) [10:42]
assbot Logged on 07-03-2016 02:49:05; nubbins`: advertising 0-fee tx's in a mempool flood is a DOS attack [10:42]
punkman the fact it was resurrected is not surprising if you ask me [10:42]
asciilifeform punkman: he has, iirc, a thing that tries to connect to 'anyone who's anyone' as determined by his intel [10:43]
asciilifeform punkman: i have nfi , ask him when he wakes up [10:43]
asciilifeform !s reactor test [10:44]
assbot 2 results for 'reactor test' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=reactor+test [10:44]
asciilifeform ^ see above. [10:44]
punkman anyway if someone can replicate the experiment with similarly old coins, that would not favor the bitbet-screwed-by-miners theory [10:46]
jurov i can offer coinbr users' coins for the experiments... seems using users' funds is en vogue [10:48]
asciilifeform one more thing. careful readers of the logz will have noticed that the cn miners have openly admitted collusion [10:49]
asciilifeform i.e. gatherings for whatever purpose [10:49]
asciilifeform all but the resurrection [10:50]
asciilifeform this was one of mp's accusations actually [10:51]
asciilifeform no?! [10:52]
asciilifeform that was his point, no? that the scum took over. [10:52]
asciilifeform try, make? except that spamola temperature seems to be low today [10:54]
asciilifeform nubbins`: most of them are spam [10:54]
asciilifeform and in fact chained crud [10:54]
asciilifeform nubbins`: how so? [10:55]
asciilifeform did it have unconfirmed inputs? No [10:56]

asciilifeform the usual way? [10:57]

asciilifeform i have nfi, btw, what the age was. did you look into it? [10:58]

danielpbarron if what i'm a part of isn't as big as my estimation, I don't care for bitcoin anyway. So whatever. [11:38]
danielpbarron you got your bouquinism and I got my Bible. I just hope other people have their things or it can get pretty depressing [11:39]

mircea_popescu so yes, for the sake of keeping the record straight - it is not possible for miners to include my (high-S, btw!) txn in blocks within 2:55 if in fact running a chain head delayed reporting scheme. either it got turned off or it never existed in the first place, anyone's call. [12:00]

mircea_popescu adlai there's some historical charge in there : bitcoin's first and largest ponzi ran a "mining" whatever, for the obvious and transparent purpose of acquiring freshly minted coins to pay out the idiot "investors". this was a major contributor to the early crystalisation of what came to be known later as "mining pools" which is what eventually in due time coallesced into today's problem. whether it was avoidable at all [12:10]
mircea_popescu or not is dubious, but that aside pirate's gpumax certainly played a major early role. [12:10]

asciilifeform ah [13:14]
PeterL nubbins` yes [13:17]
dooglus I'm new to this whole bitbet payout mess, but read somewhere that the 'B' transaction was made after receiving advice to do so. Who advised it, and why? [13:17]
mircea_popescu wasn't publicly shared. [13:18]
dooglus oh, ok [13:18]
mircea_popescu but the somewhere'd be prolly qntra i'd guess. [13:18]
asciilifeform from the sturles thread, i learned that most idiot nodes are set up to ignore what they think is 'double spend' on purely chronological what-i-saw-first grounds. and mircea_popescu was mighty pissed, and i also (to me, this was new, i do not habitually track prbism) [13:19]
dooglus I expect so. I was also trying to find the 16% referenced in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-03-2016#1421022 [13:19]
assbot Logged on 03-03-2016 16:18:56; 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. [13:19]
PeterL there is no spec, they can order transactions in whichever way they want [13:19]
mircea_popescu this is a minor point. there are better bits. such as - that an transaction known but not advertised constitutes the simple definition of "transaction withholding". [13:19]

mircea_popescu also a minor point, but at least relevant re protocol discussion. [13:20]
dooglus because it seems unlikely to be true. A1 had an uncommonly high priority, way over 100 million [13:20]
PeterL nubbins` I guess bitbet is not keeping a 100% reserve of bets now? [13:20]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: imho the relevant bit here is that we (at least i) do not know ~who~ withheld it, and then exhumed and transmitted it, and why [13:20]
asciilifeform it could have easily been a node operator. [13:20]
asciilifeform when mircea_popescu said 'miners' i assumed he had intelligence pointing in that direction. [13:21]
mircea_popescu initially i thought that "nodes" is a meaningful term, but what i see now is a large ball of node with a bunch of sattelites that have ~ no importance flattering themselves into thinking they're part of a network. [13:21]
PeterL so B should not be counted against bitbets funds if it was not bitbet money [13:21]
mircea_popescu sort-of like us electoral process works. [13:21]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i thought this was quite apparent long ago [13:22]
asciilifeform ball of node + dryer lint [13:22]
mircea_popescu besides the point - it is a factual matter now. [13:22]
mircea_popescu somehow the difference between this and that keeps getting elided. [13:22]
mircea_popescu as if everyone's a little bit everything and it all evens out or something, dunno. [13:23]
asciilifeform nubbins`: consider this: [13:24]
mircea_popescu but in any case, there is a substantial difference between "i think X on the basis of my personal experience" and "mp said x on the basis of bitbet experience as documented on qntra". exactly of the sort and caliber as the difference between "i think there exist alien" and "here's pictures of man walking on the moon", in fact. [13:24]
asciilifeform you are on a nuke sub. captain, having been informed by six different crew members that reactor coolant has been replaced with pisswater, and the valve gaskets - with chewing gum, gives in to the temptation to run a test. [13:25]
PeterL the qntra article is illogical and jumps to the conclusion you want, ignoring the simplest explanation [13:25]
asciilifeform the thing begins to melt. [13:25]
mircea_popescu PeterL this statement would be a lot less ridiculous had the "simplest explanation" been actually formed as the article even encourages the reader to do! [13:25]
asciilifeform want to fight with captain? pump bilgewater to cool down the rods ? [13:25]
asciilifeform i have nfi. i'm not even on the sub. [13:26]

kakobrekla http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-03-2016#1424891 < this is not so. it was not bitbet experience (for example i was not even aware of any of it) and publishing your interpretation on qntra does not assert absolute truth, it just tells everyone who reads it what you think. [13:32]
assbot Logged on 07-03-2016 16:24:11; mircea_popescu: but in any case, there is a substantial difference between "i think X on the basis of my personal experience" and "mp said x on the basis of bitbet experience as documented on qntra". exactly of the sort and caliber as the difference between "i think there exist alien" and "here's pictures of man walking on the moon", in fact. [13:32]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla it does not tell everyone what "i think", it tells everyone what i saw. [13:32]
PeterL and maybe that node was connected when you broadcast the first time, turned off, and reconnected 8 days later, at which point it rebroadcast the txn? [13:32]
mircea_popescu but, sure, "experience of that fraction of bitbet that does payouts", is right. [13:33]
mircea_popescu PeterL possibly, sure. [13:33]
mircea_popescu also trivially meets the definition of "withholding txn", but w/e. [13:33]
PeterL withholding txn, sitting on txn, not the same thing [13:34]
gribble no, it tells everyone what you think you saw, and as we've seen today, what you think you saw couldn't fill a hat. [13:34]
dooglus maybe that node was connected when you broadcast the first time, turned off, and reconnected 8 days later << or maybe one of the winners of the bet saw he had been paid and rebroadcast A1 so he could get paid again; that seems like the most obvious motivation for rebroadcasting A1 [13:34]
mircea_popescu also possible. [13:34]
mircea_popescu HOW did they see it ? [13:35]
mircea_popescu at that time, it was yet invisible. [13:35]
PeterL what was invisible? [13:35]
mircea_popescu ~nobody saw it, somehow, hence questions about bitbet payouts. [13:35]
mircea_popescu A1. [13:35]
dooglus the winners wouldn't have seen A1 vanish after 48h or whatever the mempool lifetime is; for them A1 credits one of their addresses and so it sticks around forever for them [13:35]
PeterL A1 you sent out to the world, everybody listening saw it [13:35]
mircea_popescu except nobody did, somehow. [13:36]
mircea_popescu this is integral. [13:36]
mircea_popescu see, the problem with assumptions is - making them. [13:36]
dooglus everyone you sent it to saw it. Didn't you broadcast it to ~100 nodes? [13:37]
mircea_popescu i thought i had, yes. [13:37]
PeterL mircea_popescu you seem to be making some big assumptions and plugging your ears whenever anybody questions them [13:37]
dooglus they won't tell you they saw it - it was 0 fee, so won't be relayed to anyone [13:37]
mircea_popescu depends what code they run, but this could well be. [13:38]

mircea_popescu so far, we're with the assumption that "bettor with incentive was running one or more of the nodes mp connected to". [13:38]
mircea_popescu this - should be given a %. [13:38]
mircea_popescu as it isn't, per your theory, the case that "Whole world saw". just the set in question. [13:39]

dooglus "bettor" could be replaced by "anyone who wants to fuck MP over" I guess if you want to increase the probability somewhat [13:40]
mircea_popescu well... if it's not a bettor then "for them A1 credits one of their addresses and so it sticks around forever for them" doesn't stick anymore. [13:40]
PeterL so there are what, 23 outputs or so? and it would take just one of them seeing the txn to hold onto it [13:42]
mircea_popescu all the outputs go to bet winners. [13:42]
mircea_popescu let's move on to the next step. THEN, MP broadcast A2, which HAD a fee. to a non-overlapping set of nodes. the disjunction of the two sets had a perfectly valid txn they... also didn't broadcast, because magic reasons. [13:43]
mircea_popescu and then we do this a coupla more times, and so on. [13:43]
PeterL well, there is probably a large overlap between bettors and people running nodes, since these are people who have an interest in the bitcoin network working so they can get paid [13:43]
mircea_popescu by this measure, there's a large overlap between all sorts of things. maybe there is, sure. [13:44]

* joesmoe has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [13:47]

PeterL maybe just never send 0fee txn, because customer payouts should be a priority? [13:48]
dooglus I suspect that's the client's fault - used to be that high-priority inputs meant you didn't need a fee [13:48]
asciilifeform nubbins`: my current hypothesis is that he did not intend a reactor test, but simply allowed the transmitter to calculate a default fee, which turned out to be 0, and sent. [13:49]
PeterL but how is mircea_popescu going to address the concerns if he ignores the people who raise them? [13:49]
PeterL asciilifeform but sending the second txn was pure idiocy, since he had no way of knowing the first would not also be mined [13:50]
asciilifeform nubbins`: this is not true, see the onetimepad thread, mp admitted that he made an arithmetical mistake once ! [13:50]

asciilifeform so he sends A1, and notices that it is in limbo. [13:51]

PeterL well, either wait for the first transactio [13:51]
asciilifeform or what? [13:51]
asciilifeform didn't he ? [13:51]
PeterL or double spend the outputs (and get a miner to include) before sending txn B [13:51]
asciilifeform and then do what? eat pistol ? [13:52]
asciilifeform what was bbet (or mircea_popescu at the console, or imagine youself there instead) do instead ? [13:52]

PeterL but in any case not send txn B until txn A has been resolved [13:52]

asciilifeform so i reread the log, and, [17:18]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-03-2016#1424835 << is important point. [17:18]
assbot Logged on 07-03-2016 16:12:01; mircea_popescu: PeterL when the ceo of a company makes a stupid mistake, the company pays for it. there are exactly no exceptions to this rule, nor will there ever be. morever, even when what the ceo does isn't a stupid mistake, the shareholders still pay for it. [17:18]
asciilifeform if mircea_popescu pulled the reactor control rods out because he had a drink too many, the shareholders, per the spec, have precisely two options - to forgive him, or to sell [17:19]
asciilifeform as far as i can tell. [17:19]
asciilifeform and this is not a mega-surprise, it is quite how the 'separation between the man and the uniform' thing works. [17:21]
asciilifeform there is nothing in the bbet listing concerning 'if officer blows up the reactor, he will pay for it out of his lunch money' [17:22]
asciilifeform because we are not in the soviet air force. [17:22]
asciilifeform aha [17:23]
asciilifeform there is. [17:23]
asciilifeform actually i have no idea where B came from [17:24]
asciilifeform perhaps it was freshly-incoming bbet meat. [17:24]
asciilifeform or change. or whatnot. [17:24]

asciilifeform so chair collapsed and he grabbed whatever pipe was within reach. [17:31]
jurov stfu you redditor!!11 [17:32]
asciilifeform anyway i have nfi, will let mircea_popescu explain whether his chair collapsed, which pipe, if any, he grabbed, what kind of reactor coolant came out, etc. [17:32]
asciilifeform rather than trying to telepath. [17:32]
asciilifeform which i am not any good at. [17:32]
* Xuthus has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [17:35]
asciilifeform incidentally, i also have nfi how the 'zero asset' thing works. i.e., what was the plan if somehow bbet had lost x btc through some other misfortune. [17:36]
asciilifeform somehow i can't picture that 'zero asset' means 'dies if the wind farts on it' [17:36]
asciilifeform does it ? [17:37]
assbot BitBet Stole ~$7,000 from me (10 BTC) ... ( http://bit.ly/1QCqtie ) [17:40]
asciilifeform nubbins`: if he had wanted to bail it out, he could have trivially - and anonymously - throw in however many coin. [17:40]
asciilifeform and it would have been 'donation to shareholders' [17:40]
asciilifeform and no one would even have noticed that any was lost. [17:40]
asciilifeform but he did not do this because he is a ~principled~ fella. [17:40]
asciilifeform think. [17:40]
asciilifeform nubbins`: you eminently also have been. [17:41]
asciilifeform why would an unprincipled mp ~not~ anonymously fill in the hole ? [17:42]
asciilifeform you think mircea_popescu actually ~needs~ the 17 for something ? [17:42]
asciilifeform i think he uses more than 17 btc of toilet paper whenever he shits. [17:42]
asciilifeform (with gold leaf.) [17:42]
asciilifeform the way i'm reading it, he was trying to make a point, that the currency is broken (and it is), and that he refuses to be held to answer for ~it being broken~ [17:43]
asciilifeform not to this degree ? [17:44]
asciilifeform i hold myself responsible for some of mircea_popescu's rage. and think that it is justified. because the thing ~is~ br0k3n. [17:44]
asciilifeform nubbins`: if i had to guess, a1 was sent with default knobs. [17:46]
asciilifeform mpb prolly. [17:47]
asciilifeform which i know ~0 about. [17:47]
asciilifeform for all i know (and i have said this) it runs on kremvax. [17:47]
asciilifeform nubbins`: default settings worked on every day prior to day x. [17:48]
asciilifeform again i have nfi, but this is the most parsimonious hypothesis [17:48]
asciilifeform based on what mircea_popescu said in his article. [17:48]
asciilifeform nubbins` carefully inspects his chair every day before he sits down in it ? [17:49]
asciilifeform every time ? [17:49]
asciilifeform and let's say the chair breaks one time, and nubbins` finds out that it was because of something a bunch of subhuman scum did. [17:50]
asciilifeform what will he say ? [17:50]
kakobrekla its not only that chair broke. he deliberately sat on it again (more precisely sat bitbet on it) after he noticed it was broken. [17:50]
BingoBoingo nubbins` carefully inspects his chair every day before he sits down in it ? << This is inspiring a yard project. I have a tall yet narrow tree to take down. Will make a tree stake before gone forever! [17:52]
BingoBoingo nubbins`: Nah, just craft project. Not film project [17:53]
danielpbarron maybe the 17 btc should be donated to bbet by s.nsa? If indeed the whole point was to make a point about the brokenness of bitcoin. [17:54]
* BingoBoingo may have to make the jump to power tools. Crosscut saw has given arm a beating. [17:54]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: how do the shareholders of s.nsa feel about such a thing ? [17:54]
asciilifeform any happier than the bbet ones ? [17:54]
asciilifeform jurov ? [17:54]
jurov asciilifeform: i do check the mempol stats before sending small tx [17:55]
asciilifeform nubbins`: well danielpbarron was asking about s.nsa shareholders [17:55]
jurov and ALWAYS add at least 0.00001, [17:55]
danielpbarron heh i'm a shareholder of both, although not a very big one. full disclosure : i have more invested in bbet than nsa [17:55]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: i must confess that if mircea_popescu was conducting an experiment to demonstrate the brokkenness of bitcoin, under the banner of s.nsa, he would have put it as expense in s.nsa statement. [17:58]
asciilifeform which we signed. and notice, there is not such a thing there. [17:58]
asciilifeform so even though mircea_popescu is not here, i can say with some certainty that he was not conducting an s.nsa experiment that day. [17:59]
jurov i have mostly (and painfully) divested from s.nsa, but think two wrongs does not make right [17:59]
jurov (i.e. taking from s.nsa money for something it was not involved with at all) [17:59]
asciilifeform danielpbarron suggested it, so i was curious re: his logic. [18:00]
danielpbarron just seems like more of an nsa themed thing, but I'm no expert in these matters and I'm not married to the idea [18:01]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: this would, then, have the unpleasant flavour of the car wash folks, who wash you at a red light and then ask for pay. [18:02]
asciilifeform which i do not think was meant here. [18:02]
danielpbarron i'm not saying you haven't made some sound points nubbins` , but I trust Mircea more than I trust you, and that's that. [18:03]
punkman was this even the first time bbet double paid? [18:03]
punkman wow mega backlogs [18:04]
trinque I butter mine on both, use as a transportation device [18:04]
asciilifeform at any rate, mircea_popescu is prolly off sitting in the war room recrunching the numberz, and will come back and either show us that we're idiots, or apologize and 'gracious donation to shareholderz.' [18:04]
asciilifeform but imho it is not a very interesting thread without him. [18:05]
punkman bitcoin runs on drama! [18:05]
asciilifeform thus far this is reminiscent of the otp thread. [18:05]
jurov asciilifeform: lol 'war room', do you remember he did accounting mistakes wrt bitbet divs almost every month? [18:05]
trinque nubbins`: bawww [18:05]
jurov and we all know discussing what mp should and should not do is in vain, but he's not alone in there. i'm looking forward to see how kakobrekla follows with this [18:06]
asciilifeform jurov: i have nfi, i admit that i do not typically follow the subject [18:06]
danielpbarron as to whether the listing agreement was violated, I hope for the sake of myself and other shareholders that bbet isn't liquidated at the specified price of 0.00001 btc per share [18:06]
asciilifeform recall, i am here for slightly different reason than other folks, i'm not really an 'assets' fella [18:06]
trinque nubbins`: you have an embarassing habit of throwing jabs at everyone in a room when you have a problem with one [18:06]
asciilifeform i have no assets and no net work, i just like maths. [18:06]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform right. [19:54]

asciilifeform all of my experiments pointed at precisely this conclusion. [19:54]
mircea_popescu the chief problem with trying to communicate things is that there's always going to be a set of idiots / lazy thinkers who want a specific outcome out of the conversation, and then proceed to parasitize it with their half-assed sententious bullshit. [19:54]

asciilifeform if they aren't relaying a1. [19:59]
asciilifeform this is a logical question. [19:59]
asciilifeform nubbins`: they are, however, my strong point. and mircea_popescu asked an entirely logical q. [20:00]
davout asciilifeform: i don't see how one could conclusively assert that A1 has not been relayed by the node one originally broadcast it to [20:00]
mircea_popescu anyway, if anyone had anythong intelligent to say that got buried in the spew, feel free to restate. i'm not wading through that pile of idiocy. [20:00]
asciilifeform davout: if it ~was~ relayed, it would be mined. [20:00]
mircea_popescu what has the log done to be reduced so! [20:01]
mircea_popescu davout because one can connect to it again and see what it says. [20:01]
davout asciilifeform: a transaction being relayed does not imply it will be mined by anyone [20:01]
asciilifeform davout: so a1 was rejected by miners because ????. and a few hundred nodes, a day later, showed no symptoms of knowing about it. [20:02]
davout mircea_popescu: true [20:02]
asciilifeform then ages later, it gets unearthed. by whom, and how? [20:02]
davout asciilifeform: i have nfi, but absence of proof isn't proof of absence [20:03]
mircea_popescu a statement of fact is a statement of fact. it only becomes a proof if used in a reasoning. a fact and a proof are very different items : one's a realia, the other ideal. [20:03]
asciilifeform nubbins`: the most plausible scenario i can think of is that mircea_popescu's network has been boxed in by sybils. [20:03]
asciilifeform aha, he's under a dome. [20:04]
asciilifeform or however you say it in engl. [20:04]
davout ftr i checked my own logs, and what they say is that my node heard about A1 around march 1st [20:04]
mircea_popescu davout that was 2nd pass. [20:04]
davout obviously [20:04]
mircea_popescu its sudden appearance was discussed in these very logs - even for that brief interval before it made it into a block. [20:04]
davout now, i'm quite curious to actually see A2...4 with my own eyes, and check those too [20:05]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform this is obviously always possible. except it'd be bitbet, raqther than mp. i've been otherwise unmolested throughout. [20:05]
mircea_popescu how are you going to see them ? they never made it. [20:05]
dooglus davout: curious why you'd say "that's a weird distribution << when mining block N, I have my pick of all the transactions broadcast while block N-1 was the newest block. some of those will have decent fees. transactions broadcast while block N-10 was the newest block that haven't already been mined are probably not very attractive to mine now. so why is block N including so many transactions created 10 blocks ago and so few created 1 block ag [20:05]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: as discussed earlier, it is uniquely easy to do this to bbet. [20:05]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform no argument. in which it becomes entirely a bitbet's swamp, which bitbet has to drain. [20:06]
davout mircea_popescu: i like to check stuff, maybe there's stuff to learn if i find out they somehow were relayed to my nodes at some point [20:06]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this is so far imho the best argument for why it had to be bbet's foot on the mine. [20:06]
mircea_popescu i'm willing, on general goodwill, to help. i am certainly not willing to underwrite an open ended personal support for some venture i happen to manage. [20:06]
asciilifeform i'm not a bbet shareholder or for that matter anything at all, but am willing to help [20:06]
mircea_popescu it is unclear what the help'd be at the present time, however. i see exactly no signs of any of the observed behaviours discussed in teh qntra piece anymore. [20:07]
asciilifeform and so far my verdict is that bbet was sybilled into going under a dome. [20:07]
asciilifeform but it is entirely unclear to me that miners had anything to do with the observables here. [20:07]
mircea_popescu but, generally speaking, sybil testing on purported bitcoin nodes are a good idea, especially if carried out in secret and uncoordinatedly. [20:07]
asciilifeform (miners ~are~ misbehaving, as, e.g., i witnessed with my lee sedol bet. but this is separate.) [20:07]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform how does a transaction that shouldn't even be relayed GET relayed, and then mined, in short order ? [20:08]
mircea_popescu davout> asciilifeform: a transaction being relayed does not imply it will be mined by anyone << especially a 0fee one. [20:08]
asciilifeform trivially: the sybilnet has a pet miner. [20:08]
mircea_popescu but a pet miner is not good enough. [20:08]
asciilifeform one of those block-a-day things. [20:08]
asciilifeform perhaps the 'telco 241' or what was it. [20:08]
mircea_popescu it is an intricate discussion, and one i'm unwillingto carry in the full detail, but on the basis of what i have seen, it is my considered opinion that at the time in discussion, the miner cartel was running a ~half hour block delay thing. [20:09]
mircea_popescu and they put it in, at the ~same second they "broadcast" it to the hanger-on nodes. [20:09]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i assumed that you had nonpublic intel that led you to say this. [20:09]
mircea_popescu i also said as much at that exact time, in this very chan. [20:09]
davout dooglus: so in other words: block witholding [20:09]
asciilifeform but i have to say, it is not supported by the incident described in the article, and so this is giving folks indigestion, fwiw. [20:10]
mircea_popescu and there are VERY GOOD game theoretic reasons for a miner cartel to do this. [20:10]
asciilifeform because it looked like '1,2,3, ....magic happens, ... --> ergo x.' [20:10]
mircea_popescu specifically because it allows them the only possible moat against competition [20:10]
asciilifeform and very clearly there are mighty good gametheoretical reasons for the cartel. [20:10]
asciilifeform it is half of why i believed that a cartel exists. [20:10]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform when you say "it is not supported", what do you mean ? [20:10]

mircea_popescu specifically the "sudden mining of an old 0fee tx" ? how ? [20:11]

asciilifeform of modest stature. [20:11]
mircea_popescu and if it doesn't find a block that day ? [20:11]
davout http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-03-2016#1425817 <<< the "sybil testing" part is not documented in the qntra piece or did I miss it? [20:11]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform by this logic tho, are there also 99 bitcoins we don't know about ? 99 linuxen ? 99 gccs that statically link ? [20:16]
davout thinking about it, I interpret the fact that A1 did not (on first attempt) get relayed to my node as indicative of nodes *not* being merely facades for some sort of 'super-node' [20:16]
mircea_popescu davout how do you figure ? [20:16]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: waiwut [20:16]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: my hypothesis was that it suffices for the enemy to have a pistol that does this, e.g., per every N trigger pulls, and that the number came up. [20:17]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you know, and we for whatever reasons just see the 1 in 100 gunshot. [20:17]
asciilifeform aha [20:17]
asciilifeform much about the turdnet is stochastic, and so this is mega-unsurprise. [20:17]
davout mircea_popescu: if everyone's actually the same node, broadcasting to one node is actually broadcasting to everyone, and it follows that it should have relayed properly. I guess it can also be the sign of your connections all actually being to the same sybilling node [20:18]
asciilifeform davout: issue is that 'everyone knew' SOLELY for the purpose of rejecting a1...n but NOT for relay to miner! [20:18]
davout nubbins`: for the tx not to relay at all it has to be 'false' for everyone [20:19]
asciilifeform aha. [20:19]
mircea_popescu davout i don't think you take my meaning. the situation that you imagine is, "hey, whatever, summertime and a bunch of us are at the beach". the situation in reality is, "a moroccan clan and some fat frenchies at the beach". guess how likely you are to a) find out the price of dried fruit and b) find out that you aren't finding out the price of dried fruit.

davout asciilifeform: it might also very well be that most nodes use similar relay policies and that A1 simply didn't satisfy the relaying rules [20:23]
mircea_popescu anyway, i've been thinking about your theory ever since, but i don't credit it asciilifeform. for one thing, it's unstable. seriously, supernode and miniminer ? it'd get torn apart. [20:23]
mircea_popescu back in the day bitcoin mining was healthy, after a fashion, pools came and went. they've been stable for a long time now. [20:23]
asciilifeform davout: if it did not satisfy relaying rules, WHERE DID IT COME FROM on day x !? [20:23]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: tell how not stable ? [20:23]
asciilifeform some bastard is running 3000+ sybils. what's unstable here. [20:24]
mircea_popescu because the other miners would have an incentive to destroy the miniminer's supernode, and there's jackl the miniminer could do to protect it. [20:24]
mircea_popescu a supernode only grows in the shade of miner cartel. [20:24]

mircea_popescu or somesuch [20:33]
asciilifeform at any rate, i have long seen nodes as an astonishingly weak point, which is why i pressed the whole pogo thing [20:34]
mircea_popescu in any case : some degree of proxying is absolutely unavoidable in bitcoin relay , because ... ddos. [20:34]
asciilifeform the whole orchestra does no one any good if there is reliably amoebic scum between your console and the free world. [20:34]
mircea_popescu well yeah, had we had the pogos deployed last year or somesuch this might have been a very different story. [20:34]
mircea_popescu but... no pogos. because no static linking in gcc. because etc. [20:35]
asciilifeform the sad part is that i fixed pretty much all of the cthonic hell-pits that prevented pogo, [20:35]
asciilifeform aside from the two listed earlier. [20:35]
asciilifeform (the blkindex and mempool exhaustion) [20:35]
mircea_popescu re prev point : so yeah, most strong nodes will have multiple interfaces they look at. so most people (who know, as opposed of feeling like they know) aren't necessariyl surprised by ~some degree~ of sybiling. [20:36]
mircea_popescu which is what everyone (at least previously) told himself is happening to go to bed and not wake screaming [20:36]
asciilifeform recently i contemplated doing a rotor port to a chinese tv box, 1G of ram, available for ~30 usd in qty. infinite. but when the fuck would i do this, a student ought to do this [20:36]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform hey, don't feel bad, one can only try. [20:36]
asciilifeform i have 256 fingers but they are all in some orifice. [20:36]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'g' is another angle of attack against the octopus. [20:37]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i'm sure nubbins` will be done derping idly, dump the ugly broad, get the fuck out of the meaningless paper products shuffling, get back in math school and generally make himself useful. any day now. [20:37]
asciilifeform which is actually why i invented it. [20:37]
mircea_popescu looking forward to the nubbins 1g box so he can be a lord on his own merit for once. [20:37]
