05:37 < Luke-Jr> coblee: even w/o policy diversity, there is no magic way to make an UNconfirmed tx anything but unconfirmed..
05:40 < andytoshi> earlz: regarding "should the nonce be bigger" no, the merkle root is perfectly capable of acting as a nonce so arguably every bit of the nonce is wasted header space, better it be 0 bits than 64 :)

05:45 < andytoshi> coblee: you should ask about unconfirmed txes in #bitcoin, there are almost no circumstances where requiring confirmations results in a bad user experience and this has been beaten to death many times before
05:46 < op_mul> andytoshi:
05:46 < op_mul> :<
05:46 < Luke-Jr> indeed, quite off-topic for wizards, and something I would expect Coinbase to be familiar with a long time ago

05:49 < justanotheruser> andytoshi: If it was 0 bits wouldn't blocks take more time with more transactions?
05:50 -!- shesek [~shesek@77.126.161.132] has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
05:51 < andytoshi> justanotheruser: ah, yeah, you'd need to change the merkle tree structure (maybe have the root be H(nonce || actual root) so effectively your leftmost branch always has length one)
05:52 < op_mul> could have trimmed the block version size down a bit and used that for nonce instead
05:53 < op_mul> do we really need space for 4294967295 block versions?
05:54 < justanotheruser> Do we need a version number?
05:56 < op_mul> yes, we've already been through a couple
05:56 < op_mul> BIP62 specifies block version 3
05:57 < justanotheruser> Do we need it in the block header I mean?
05:57 < justanotheruser> Might as well swap it with the extranonce

09:35 < kanzure> of course, i know that links are not always available because words happen elsewhere, but perhaps you can paste those words or make them again
09:36  * hearn what is the problem you are worried about? that miners would re-mine new chains without any transactions in except the ones you 
09:36 < hearn> oops, huh, looks like i found a new keyboard shortcut
09:36 -!- Oizopower_ is now known as Oizopower
09:36 < hearn> except the ones you used to pay them?
09:37 < hearn> there's no point in miners doing that because the inputs to the contracts actually do need to come from successfully confirmed payments. they can't just strip out all the transactions except the contracts for very long before everything stops working and then they earn no money at all
09:38 < kanzure> "successfully confirmed payments" are created by mining known payments
09:38 < hearn> but honestly, i'm not sure i want to go around this debate again tonight. who cares? block subsidies are so huge that we have entire datacenters doing nothing but mining, yet are owned by one person. hash rates could fall a lot without any major problems, i think, so it could be a loooong time before this becomes an issue
09:38 < kanzure> (by which i mean, "are created by mining blocks that contain those known payments")
09:39 < hearn> a lot of these debates, by the way, boil down to one core disagreement that surfaces in different forms
09:39 < hearn> some people assume miners will attempt to arbitrarily break anything they aren't incentivised by payments to not break
09:39 < hearn> others assume they will not, because they are incentivised to ensure bitcoin is generally useful and adopted, as that is what gives the coins they mine value
09:40 < kanzure> if you were okay with trusting the miners like that, then why bother with bitcoin at all?
09:40 < kanzure> why all the indirection? etc
09:40 < hearn> miners have always been trusted like that. go read the white paper - it says in the opening bitcoin is a system that works when the majority of miners are "honest". the goal of mining is to handle the case of an occasional or minority dishonest contingent.
09:41 < hearn> if all miners are collaborating to dick over the ecosystem in arbitrary ways and generally be dishonest, bitcoin doesn't work anymore

09:44 < hearn> no, it's not circular. you appear to be unsatisfied with any argument that boils down to "the majority of miners will do this, because it makes bitcoin work better / increases its value / follows the rules". but that is the original bitcoin argument made by satoshi - it's exactly the threat model always used. if you want a system that works even when all miners are willing to burn the whole system to the ground for 1 cent of extra

11:11 < justanotheruser> Given that we have a UTXO merkle tree in a block, is it possible for a thin client to pay to a think client without a server? It is pretty obvious how a full node could pay to a thin client and tell them which block and which branch the transaction is, or how a thin client could pay a full node without a server. Is there a way to do it where both the payer and the receiver are serverless thin clients?

11:31 < faraka> oh lol misread. sorry.

11:32 < amiller_> kanzure, those were two ways of saying the same thing :p i think you meant to say: also some scams are even good ideas!

11:41 < op_mul> transaction contents of a block are built into a filter by the miner. the filter is embedded into the merkle tree. to find if the block is "interesting" or not, the SPV client asks a peer for the header + bloom filter + proof. the SPV client matches with the bloom filter without revealing their interest.
11:42 < justanotheruser> They still need to ask for the merkle branch though?

12:41 < op_mul> right, hadn't realised that. sounds horrible to implement, though.
12:42 < gmaxwell> It would have been straight forward-ish in the original implementation.  you'd just delete txn and replace them with the missing hashes in the database.
12:43 < op_mul> partly what I meant by outdated, it seems like a horrific amount of disk operations to get that working in the current client

15:42 < nsh> .wik groth sahai proof
15:42 < yoleaux> "Non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs are a variant of zero-knowledge proofs in which no interaction is necessary between prover and verifier. Blum, Feldman, and Micali  showed that a common reference string shared between the prover and the verifier is enough to achieve computational zero-knowledge without requiring interaction." — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-interactive_zero-knowledge_proof
15:42 < nsh> .g Perfect Non-interactive Zero Knowledge ext:pdf
15:42 < yoleaux> http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~rafail/PUBLIC/71.pdf
15:43 < nsh> amiller_, any practical implementations of this latter (groth sahai) extant?
15:44  * nsh is (unrelatedly) tempted to share an intuition he had about the blockchain and tried to explicate in another channel, but it will probably be poorly-received
15:49 < nsh> nevertheless:
15:49 < nsh> --
15:49 < nsh> oh this might relate to a half intuition i had about part of the magic of the blockchain. that it cheats and uses the magic of statistics that allows a local point to make a global measurement
15:49 < nsh> <someone> what is it measuring globally?
15:49 < nsh> it's to do with the consensuation of the retargeting. somehow everyone has to agree on something so that some other things happens as a poisson process with a fixed approximate mean. (mining a block)
15:49 < nsh> but you can't measure global hashrate. that would be an absurdly ambitious undertaking, naively. figuring out how much hashpower everyone has, whether it's turned on, which hashes it's grinding. but you can actually access that information through the holistics of statistics. because the time it takes for someone to win the hashing 'magically' subsumes all that information
15:49 < nsh> (but only magically because everyone who wins has an incentive to shout about it and the rules are designed to amplify and verify the validity of their MEMEMEMEMEME!)
15:49 < nsh> --
15:50 < nsh> anyway, this 'holistics of statistics' notion is something i've wondered about since early childhood and it hasn't really cropped up much in formal or informal education
15:50 < nsh> so i was wondering if it would recall in someone something they could point me at to delve a bit deeper
15:51 < nsh> (i mean, surely everyone has at some point thought: "how do all the independent coin tosses conspire to the average?", right? or is this a product of nsh-brainweirds?)
15:55 < amiller_> nsh, i don't know of any implementation of groth sahai proofs :(
15:55 < amiller_> nsh, isis lovecruft was beginning to implement them actually
15:55 < nsh> ah, hmm
15:55 < amiller_> i have a pretty good grasp of rsa group proofs and schnorr group proofs in general
15:56 < amiller_> a crs is required anyway so its not obvious if groth-sahai is better than rsa for whatever applicatin
15:56 < amiller_> by which i mean, a sensitive setup procedure ostensibly involving a trapdoor or else something complicated like a UFO is required
15:57 < nsh> right, there's an inherent trust-fragility to the set-up procedure
15:57 < amiller_> i think groth sahai should be doable though
15:57 < kanzure> nsh: there were a few phiosophers of statistis (like charles pierce?) but you might find that too ridiculous
15:57 < nsh> (which is not necessarily worse than the existing trust-fragilities of other sociotechnological systems, but unappealing)
15:57 < kanzure> *statistics
15:57 < kanzure> i think you can measure global hashrate by looking at infrared radiation
15:57 < kanzure> this places an upper bound
15:58 < nsh> well, the point is you don't have to if you can amplify, verify and consensuate the first person who chances on the target
15:58 < nsh> this is what allows a single point in the system to do a global measurement
15:58 < nsh> i think this is conceptually important, somehow, but i'm not sure exactly wht
15:58 < nsh> *why
15:59 -!- rhadamanthus [~rhadamant@unaffiliated/rhadamanthus] has quit [Quit: rhadamanthus]
15:59 < nsh> amiller_, is it conceivable that the universe somehow provides a CRS?
15:59 < nsh> seems rather esoteric maybe
16:00 < nsh> no more so than the random oracle model though
16:00 < amiller_> thats the premise of a UFO i think
16:00 < nsh> mm
16:00 -!- Shiftos [~shiftos@gateway/tor-sasl/shiftos] has joined #bitcoin-wizards
16:00 < amiller_> short answer, it probably does, but a) you can't check, b) you have to sample a lot of times to get a good chance of ending up with one, so oh well
16:01 < kanzure> also i think you can do hashrate proof-of-work incentives as a method of statistical sampling, which provides knowledge of various floors (when an observation is made)
16:02 < kanzure> for example, a task that osmeone would have to specifically point their hashrate at instead of mining blocks, which obviously not everyone is obligated to try which is why i said floor-when-observations-are-made
16:04 < nsh> well, moment of success is a proxy-measurement of hashes attempted, then rate is just the delta
16:04 < nsh> you cannot conceivably measure hashes-that-might-have-been-attempted
16:04 < nsh> which is part of the problem with hashpower liquidity/slushing
16:05 < nsh> and part of what sidechains hopes to solve
16:09 < kanzure> i could imagine being quite easily convinced that hashrate is the wrong word to be using (especially since it's so hard to measure by anyone else)

16:13  * nsh muses
16:14 < kanzure> nsh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Sanders_Peirce#Probability_and_statistics
16:14 < kanzure> (not sure if this is the direction you're asking for)
16:15 < nsh> yeah, but i basically hate everyone who has ever written on the subject of statistics or logic
16:15 < nsh> for aesthetic reasons
16:15 < nsh> so it's painful to consume
16:16 < nsh> (conceptuaesthetic reasons, or whatever, the thing that makes you know what's elegant and that's horrific in concepts and their compositions)
16:16 < nsh> *what's
16:16 < kanzure> that hate i probably deserved i'm sure, and i have nothing good to offer you
16:16 < kanzure> *is probably

21:10 < Adlai> kanzure: not a perfect analogy, but percentage of checked solution space?
21:23 < bramc> The underlying unit is flops
21:23 < bramc> although there's no floating point involved, so technically it isn't flops, and generally the custom hardware has built-in hashing functionality

22:09 -!- Guest30376 [~Cory@75-135-170-58.dhcp.stpt.wi.charter.com] has quit []
22:10 < nsh> so the physical dimension of a flop(s) second is just a barenumber
22:10 < nsh> the physical dimension of an operation per second is... well i guess we have to analyze a bit what we mean by operation
22:10 < nsh> but it will resolve to entropics

22:12 -!- Cory [~Cory@unaffiliated/cory] has joined #bitcoin-wizards

22:17 < op_mul> if we make the sort of low end assumption that the entire network is powered by Antminer S5 units, then we're consuming about 0.51 joule per gigahash.
22:18  * nsh nods
22:19 < nsh> but actual power consumption/dissipation is itself quite a simplification
22:19 < op_mul> from there, you can move to working out the equivalent costs in various foods. say, how many acorns you'd need to burn in order to mine one block. which comes up with some absolutely hilarious numbers.
22:19 < nsh> actually that's going on is that order is being imported and consumed and disorder exported and gotridof
22:20 < nsh> and that's a geometrical/spacial process
22:20 < nsh> you can't reason about it in put unitary terms
22:20 < nsh> *what's going on
22:20 < op_mul> (an acorn is about 490,000 joules)

22:26 < nsh> do kids play conkers where you grew up op_mul?
22:27 < nsh> the horse chestnut that wins a dozen rounds of smack-the-nuts-attached-to-string-against-each-other
22:27 < nsh> is if qualitatively special, or just quantitatively?
22:27 < nsh> *it
22:28 < op_mul> I'm out of touch with what kids do now. it's probably an iphone game. I only chose nuts because I know they have a very high energy density. about the same as a potato according to wolfram alpha, but in a lot less physical space.
22:28  * nsh nods
22:28 < nsh> i'm just wondering about when it stops mattering how much of something there is there
22:29 < nsh> and starts mattering how it's arranged, how energy can be dispersed through it without exceeding some sheer threshold
22:29 < nsh> the winning conker is not necessarily of a greater mass(energy)
22:29 < phantomcircuit> this seems like an add discussion
22:30 < nsh> the disorder?
22:30 < nsh> :)
22:30 < nsh> or operation...
22:32 < op_mul> I was trying to put a real world scale on it, something like petahashes a second is pretty meaningless.
22:33 < nsh> well, it's more meaningful to the statistical expectation than workenergy dissipated
22:33 < nsh> and Bitcoin cares about the former
22:33 < nsh> the economics of bitcoin cares about the latter, though
22:34 < nsh> and that effects the design decisions in ways that are unfortunately filtered through human incentive filters
22:35 < nsh> this is an even more spurious relation than between petahashes and megajoules
22:37 < op_mul> ignoring the tears of the irish, if we burnt every potato produced in 2014 and converted it directly into mining hashpower with zero losses we could run the bitcoin network for 17 days.
22:37 < op_mul> er hold on, I'm off by a large amount there.
22:41 < op_mul> 30.12 days.
22:41 < op_mul> maybe that's not such an easy to understand measure of hashpower after all.
22:48 < nsh> matter is a bad measure of work. it's very hard to efficiently convert stuff to stuff-gets-done
22:48 < nsh> if you measured it in the useful energy an average human would get from eating those potatoes
22:49 < nsh> it might be more reasonable
22:49 < nsh> (for silly values of reason, being, incidentally, the best values of reason)

22:51 < op_mul> wolfram alpha tells me that if you ate 300 million tonnes of potatos you would die of vitamin A poisoning.
22:52 < op_mul> at any rate, the only reason you would work out things like this is just to attempt to show scale to a reader.
