cadenadelabloqueI've been doing some reading up on zero knowledge contingent payments,  computational complexity theory, PSPACE(interactive proof systems), secure multiparty computations, and bitcoin contracts in general and I'm in need of some help from someone with working knowledge of them.03:16
cadenadelabloqueFrom what I can tell, gmaxwell (who proposed CoinSwap) is likely to not only understand these concepts but have actually written code for them, but I can't seem to find any examples or samples online anywhere from him or anyone else, only theories and discussions.03:17

cadenadelabloqueI've got a job offer for anyone who has experience in these areas and can write some "simple" code to allow a trustless agreement to pay based on user supplied data or random input.03:19

midnightmagic..  not really topical..03:20
cadenadelabloqueIdeally what I want is some code that allows 2 or more parties to perform rock-scissors-paper and force the loser's funds to the winner, cryptographically.03:20
cadenadelabloqueAccording to this whitepaper (http://eprint.iacr.org/2013/784.pdf), it's already been done to a degree, I just don't understand how it was done.03:21
cadenadelabloqueI gather it's done using hashes of choices and some OP_CODE that incorporates a multiparty transaction of sorts(?), but to put that into a code that can be generated on the fly is beyon my pay grade.03:23
cadenadelabloqueRather, I'd prefer paying someone whos pay grade it is not beyond so that it doesn't take me 20 years to accomplish it! :)03:24
midnightmagiccadenadelabloque: Consider making job offers in a place like #bitcoin-otc or one of the bitcoin job boards.03:24
-!- Guyver2 [~Guyver2@guyver2.xs4all.nl] has joined #bitcoin-wizards03:24
cadenadelabloqueI was actually referred here because of the specific needs. I'm pretty sure if anyone can do it, it'll be someone here.03:25
cadenadelabloqueI was also under the impression #bitcoin-otc was mostly for traders. I'll check it out.03:26

ThinThreadah damn didnt see if anyone answered my question yesterday07:35
nsh<gmaxwell> ThinThread: you want a wet paper code.07:36
nsh<gmaxwell> though temporal sequencing, if visible to the attacker can break the privacy.07:36
nsh<gmaxwell> but if you assume that the attacker can't tell what order messages were authored in, then you can make it so that it's undecidable which message conveyed the secret message, even if there is only a small amount of malleability.07:36

ThinThreadgmaxwell; nice @ wet paper codes. yeah temporal sequencing is a problem. i was thinking that the trigger when multiplied by ciphertext could put it into a countdown state, where each successive tweets multiplication would only advance countdown towards ciphertext assuming trigger value09:04

@gmaxwellnsh: yea, it's a somewhat obvious approach once you think about it, thus my quotes around invented.12:34
* nsh nods12:34
kanzurewhat if someone writes a patch that rejects blocks iwth the other version number in it12:34
kanzurei guess that's just an early fork12:35
kanzurebut it's better than a delayed hard-fork12:35
nshwhat if everybody writes their own consensus-breaking fork proposal and we all dance around a bonfire and throw them all in12:35
nshand then be done with it12:35
kanzurei don't know what bonfires have to do with it12:35
nshthey make things go away12:35
nshwhen used appropriately12:35
kanzurewriting and deploying a patch to stop a contentious hard-fork would be pretty helpful i think12:35
nshalso there's some sort of reference to fighting fire with fire :)12:36
kanzurewell if nobody relays the new version number then there's no last-minute game of chicken regarding a hard-fork12:36
kanzure(during the "grace period")12:36
nshit's arguably as bad as the threat it intends to mitigate12:37
kanzurecould you attempt to make that argument please12:38
nshbecause obviously gavin and mike would NACK such a version lock-up update, if they were asked, and to do it anyway is just as much an abandonment of process as the unilateral fork proposal (threat)12:39
nshretrospective cynicism is sometimes appropriate. speculative cynicism is usually bad12:40
bramcgmaxwell, Has anybody figured out the issues of needing a trusted setup for ZK?12:40
kanzureyes, well you will never see the peanut gallery telling you "we are proceeding with it anyway" (actually they have, oops!)12:40
bramckanzure, nsh I'm not sure what you're saying12:40
kanzureso in the context of a hostile contentious hard-fork, rolling out something faster to protect the system from multi-chains seems prudent. the companies that they convince will operate the patch that has the grace period, and everyone else will reject their version number blocks in the mean time anyway.12:41
nshkanzure is suggesting that an update is released that preempts and prevents a nonconsensus hard-fork attempt12:41
@gmaxwellbramc: for SNAKRS? there are other candidate constructions outside of the CRS model, though they'll be less efficient (larger proofs, like tens of kb). And AFAIK haven't yet been build but people are working on it.12:41
kanzurensh: right, something that breaks down the scheduling of the hard-fork patch's "activation" (it's already activated, of course, the moment it goes in)12:41
nshwhich is a very conservative/protectionist move and will be taken as badly as you can imagine anything being taken12:42
bramcThere's already something which 'prevents' a nonconsensus hard-fork update. It's called the bitcoin codebase :-P12:42
kanzurehowever, i am not advocating for this solution, just contemplating or speculating its possibility12:42
nshand will not help us achieve a consensus process for adding headroom in blocksize12:42
kanzurebramc: can you explain how it does that?12:42
nshunless consensus-by-virtue-of-alienation counts, which it shouldn't12:42
bramckanzure, the bitcoin codebase rejects hard forks. That's why they're called hard forks.12:42
kanzurebramc: specifically the context here is someone has said "i have convinced companies to run my patch, i'm doing this anyway, see you later"12:42
kanzurebramc: yes, well not everyone runs that code base12:43
bramckanzure, Has Gavin said that in so many words?12:43
kanzure!!!12:43
gribbleError: "!!" is not a valid command.12:43
nshbramc, the current position seems to be that they will make BIP proposal, with working code, and give some time for it to be evaluated, but reserve the right afterwads to go ahead unilaterally12:43
nshthere was an attempt to soften this position yesterday but it didn't seem to get anywhere12:44

nshcan we hardfork dogecoin for didactic purposes?12:45
nshpeople would probably get upset12:45
kanzurethere have been some other hard-forks in the past, like elielcoin or something? that's a recent one.12:46
bramcIt's funny the conspiracy theories which don't exist. We don't believe that openssl was created to sneak security problems into things. We don't believe that Applied Cryptography was written to get people to design insecure protocols. And we don't believe that Gavin is trying to tank bitcoin12:46
kanzureer there's also the other g man12:46
kanzurewait, that's ambiguous12:46
bramcAlthough there's so much obvious evidence for all these things. They only require one conspirator, and if that conspirator was really conspirating they sure did a shitty job of covering their tracks.12:47
kanzure(it's not just gavin; and the other one doesn't have a g in his name, so that doesn't work. oops.)12:47
@gmaxwellThe prior on "dumb shit happens" is so amazingly high that its hard to give any other theory credibility.12:47

kanzurebramc: we don't have a bdfl12:49
bramckanzure, The media portrays gavin as the bdfl12:50
kanzurethe media also portrays bitcoin as anonymous12:50
bramcI didn't say they're right.12:50

-!- wallet42 [~wallet42@85.100.40.253] has joined #bitcoin-wizards12:52
maakubramc: sure, double spend12:52
maakubramc: generate a transaction >1MB in size12:53
bramcmaaku, the frequency with which double spend works depends on whether the two networks manage to separate completely or there's a transactions bridge between them12:53
maakubramc: a >1MB transaction won't bridge12:54
@gmaxwellbramc: you can also derrive your transaction out of coinbase outputs made post-fork.12:54
bramcmaaku, Let's assume that a >1mb transaction is unacceptable generally12:54
kanzurecrafting transactions out of two blockchains only solves parts of the problem; ther'es also ledger reconciliation issues to be aware of, incompatible software, fragmentation of the business ecosystem, etc.12:54
bramcgmaxwell, There's a chance that transactions will usually be applied to both, even if they don't mean to.12:55
bramckanzure, the inevitable result of a hard fork is two separate cryptocurrencies both called bitcoin12:55
ajweissno bdfl, more like a central committee of cryptophile programmers who shepherd and lead the cryptoproleteriat in building the one true ledger state12:56

nwilcoxbramc: If there is a hard fork, and no way for users to differentiate the units on different forks, seems bad for users.12:57
kanzurethere's a long list of problems that arise12:57
nwilcox-but that's just one of many problems.12:57
nshbramc, mike isn't making a patch, as i understand it, gavin is, and presumably it's more complex than that as he's still in testing phase12:59
nshand intends to draft a BIP12:59
kanzure(see the link)12:59
morcosone of the issues i've been wondering about is what will the legal implications be for companies holding bitcoin balances for users, they will probably have to support both forks12:59
nshmorcos, feel free to wonder about that in depth, in a public blog post12:59

zookonwilcox: this is the genesis of Ian Grigg's notion of the Ricardian Contract, I think.13:00
fluffyponynsh: on medium13:00
* nsh smiles13:00
zookonwilcox: Sorry if I was dismissive earlier, but actually now that I'm less grumpy, your idea of using the earliest unique block id as the fork id is excellent!13:01
fluffyponybecause that's the best forum for it13:01
bramcForks are a Bad Thing13:02
ThinThreadcan i spent my bitcoin twice on each branch of fork?13:03
kanzurenot always13:03
morcosand once on each branch might be easier13:03
nshnot even once on each branch, except in some circumstances :)13:03
ThinThreadso are bitcoin forks basically like stock splits13:04
maakuwhat? no13:04
maakuthey are nothing like stock splits13:04
bramcGavin is really sounding out of control. His approach to dealing with the rancor against his proposed hard fork is to make the limit go up exponentially in perpetuity? Yeah, great way to get people on your side.13:04
gwillenThinThread: there's not a clean separateion of the two sides. Some transactions will go through on one side only, some will go through on both.13:04
ThinThreadah i see13:05
gwillenThinThread: initially coins will be "in sync" on both sides, but as transactions fail to clear on both sides (e.g. because you mix in some coins generated after the form), they will fall "out of sync"13:05
bramcThinThread, Yes each coin basically splits in two, but it isn't clear how easy it might be to actually get your coins to separate, hence my earlier question about getting accepted on either side13:05
gwillenso you'll have a mixture of coins on one side, the other, or both, depending on where they came from13:05
@gmaxwellzooko: there is an old proposal of mine that transactions should be able to 'checkpoint' what chains their fees are payable in.13:05
nwilcoxThinThread: Imagine every user and exchange and miner was clear which fork a txn "belonged" to. Then you could treat the two forks as two currencies.13:05
kanzuregmaxwell: yes that would help, although of course a fork could ignore those rules, heh13:05
nwilcoxThey'll probably be currencies which are in catastrophic economic collapse, though...13:06
@gmaxwellzooko: which was intended to address the problem that your transaction pays the honest network and a forking attacker equally. (assuming it can be mined in both)13:06
kanzureit is wrong to think about two currencies really; there's no way that will be a stable result of this13:06
bramcoh, here's a thought: Once the two chains get slightly out of sync on time, you can use timelock and malleability13:06
@gmaxwellkanzure: yes, it wasn't a tool intended against hardforks, just against reorg attacks.13:06
kanzurei mean yes that will technically exist for a few minutes or hours or something13:06
zookogmaxwell: neat!13:06
gwillenin principle, if all the software were designed to treat coins carefully with regard to which chain recognizes them, you could have two currencies13:06

gwillenbramc: I expect one or both of them would die before then13:07
nwilcoxkanzure: Yes, I agree that the two currenies ideas is very unlikely.13:07
kanzureand also there might be more than two blockchain forks during this time13:07
kanzurebecause perhaps the network is not well-connected13:08
gwillenalso, one of the sides would presuambly be limping along with negligible hashpower13:08
gwillenwhich would make it extremely prone to attacks13:08
kanzuree.g. the topology of the network after the hard-fork could be such that different forks start happening for hours in different segments of the network13:08
bramcgwillen, It's extremely difficult for either of them to completely die once they have any momentum, and people will hang onto whatever coins they have as long as they're worth *something*13:08
kanzuree.g. especially if nodes start dropping connections due to non-rule-following13:08
bramcgwillen, The hashpower of each side will be directly proportional to their rewards13:08
bramcAlso notably, there's no proposal to allow merge-mining. Gavin seemed confused when I suggested it.13:09
gwillenbramc: rewards as denominated in external currency, though. So whichever side has more valuable coins will get more hashpower, but probably whichever side has more hashpower will get more valuable coins13:09
bramckanzure, There's likely to be two separate networks due to dropping for non-rule-following13:09
kanzureor more than 213:09
-!- wallet42 [~wallet42@85.100.40.253] has joined #bitcoin-wizards13:09
bramcgwillen, Its not like one side wins over the other. They each get hashpower proportional to their value.13:10
kanzurewhy would it be proportional to anything? why not "proportional to the hashrate that was pointed at that chain and rule set"?13:10
gwillenkanzure: if both sides' generated coins are trading at independent values, people will mine them proportional to the values they trade at13:11
gwillenfor optimum reward13:11
-!- wallet42 [~wallet42@85.100.40.253] has quit [Client Quit]13:11
bramckanzure, for any altcoin its hashpower will wind up being about proportional to its rewards, because that's the point at which ROI of doing more goes negative13:11
gwillenI expect we will not end up with both sides trading at stable independent values though13:11
bramcIt seems likely, of course, that the value of both forks would tank rapidly.13:11

ThinThreadthe supreme court is crap13:13
bramcThinThread, For multiple forks on the same chain, which happen all the time, the rule is that greater work total wins. For hard forks, they're different chains, and there's no way any of them can kill off the other13:15

kanzurebramc: started with a few emails on bitcoin-development; then there was some statement posted to reddit; then there was some news article.13:19

bramcfluffypony, Is there a transation? I don't speak or read chinese13:19
ajweisswoah cool chinese stamps!13:20
jposnerone cpu, one vote13:20
kanzuregwillen: that's not right; there are far more options than that. and it's wrong to describe this as "let's see what happens"... bitcoin.pdf basically describes this as "the only way to know is to see all the transactions and run the rules". spv is mentioned, sure, but that's different.13:20

kanzure"high orphan rate leading to hard forks down the road".. oh i guess they mean if they hard-fork it to a lower max size. well, whatever. that's true.13:21
kanzurebut reorgs are not hard forks13:22
gwillenkanzure: historically the answer seems to have been 'consensus', but now we're having to answer questions like "what is consensus" and "consensus of who"13:22
kanzuregwillen: that's still the wrong representation of this; the way that bitcoin works is that everyone is personally responsible for validating the rules. it's not a consensus. it's a matter of correctness.13:22
jposnerfluffypony, it's just a way of describing proof-of-work from the white paper13:22

fluffyponyhe does say "Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote"13:28
fluffyponybut the following sentence explains13:28
@gmaxwelljposner: If you'd like to talk about hubris, I suggest that you start with thinking you can fradulently claim that someone supported something they didn't support, in a discussion they are not a part of (as far as you know).13:28

kanzurefluffypony: and even that is unclear and ambiguous; he naturally means "the longest valid chain, which has the"13:29

@gmaxwelljposner: while it's impossible to say for sure what someone who hasn't entered into the discussion would say; I can easily point to where I've made the same arguments and clarify what I meant.  But thats all I can do, I don't speak for anyone but myself.13:29

petertoddthough, it's a good way to learn! :P22:42
bramcThe biggest potential issues have to do with introducing a transaction which pays x, then x+e, then x+2e, x+3e, etc.22:42
petertoddhow so?22:42
-!- the_last [~the_last@58-6-171-98.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #bitcoin-wizards22:42
petertoddoh, you mean e as in epsilon?22:42
bramcIt's a way to get the network to waste lots of bandwidth22:42
bramcYeah, e is epsilon22:43
petertoddit makes sure you pay at least as much in increased fees as the min relay fee, so you're just as better off spamming normal txs22:43
bramcIt seems like transaction size should be included in there somewhere22:43
petertoddit is! min relay fee is calculated as feerate * tx size22:44
bramcoh good22:44
bramcThere's also potential issues where an attacker gets around that minimum by bumping two transactions back and forth out of the pool22:45
petertoddhow would that work?22:45
the_lastpetertodd: Why not just increase the blocksize to say, 4mb. To postpone all of these issues until Lightning Network is complete?22:45
petertoddthe_last: if all you're doing is a small 4x increase, why bother with all that work and risk?22:46
bramcLike, I give you a large transaction which just barely makes it in, then another one which pays epsilon more which bumps that one out, then another one which pays out of the first input which gives another epsilon and pushes that second one out, etc.22:46
bramcObviously this is dicey to do in practice, but worth considering22:47
the_lastpetertodd: Prevent the necessary rise of txn fees in the mean time and allowance for low-value txns to continue on the network unimpaired?22:47
bramcthe_last, What does that accomplish?22:48
the_lastbramc: I'm sure there are companies out there that utilize the blockchain like that (if not, there will be), it would allow them to stay in business.22:49
petertoddbramc: well, it has to pay epsilon = tx_{i+1}_size * min-relay-fee, so at every replacement you're paying for bandwidth roughly speaking (assuming at least one of them will get mined)22:49
bramcpetertodd, No there's a loophole: You're using your new transaction to bump out your old transaction, thus saving yourself money22:49
petertoddbramc: nope, the new tx has to pay at least as much in total fees as the old one, as well as for it's own bandwidth22:51
bramcpetertodd, I'm not sure where our disconnect is here. My point is that the old transaction will get pushed out, so I don't have to pay for the bandwidth to send it out after all22:52
bramcSay I create a 500k transaction which just barely makes it, wait for it to go everywhere, then make another 500k transaction which just barely bumps out the old one, wait for it to go over the whole network, make a new one, etc.22:53
bramcIf the amount of time it takes for these transactions to propagate is short enough I'll have succeeded in sending out a lot of them before a block is minted, and I only have to pay the fee on the last one because the others don't make it22:54
bramcIf I'm bouncing back and forth between two inputs I don't even run the risk of having to pay more than double in the end22:55

petertoddreplace-by-fee is *not* a mechanism to make mempools come to consensus, just a mechanism to replace transactions22:56
bramcpetertodd, Wait, so transactions which get introduced sooner have a big advantage? that seems unfair22:56
-!- SDCDev [~quassel@unaffiliated/sdcdev] has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]22:56
bramcpetertodd, To be clear, I'm talking about transactions with different inputs, so they aren't replace by fee, they're bump out the other one22:57
petertoddbramc: what does "unfair" have to do with it?22:57
bramcMaybe this sort of attack is already possible on the existing deployed network22:57
petertoddbramc: the purpose is to be able to replace one transaction with another - there's no "fair" involved as both txs are (basically always) created by the same person22:57
-!- SDCDev [~quassel@unaffiliated/sdcdev] has joined #bitcoin-wizards22:58
petertoddyeah, you've always been able to send multiple txs at once that are mutually incompatible22:58
bramcokay, so let's say the attack I'm talking about doesn't even hit the replace by fee codepath. Is there any defense against it in the replace by fee or existing logic?22:59
petertoddno, nor can there be - that's just a standard zeroconf doublespend22:59
bramcI'm not communicating a critical point here22:59
bramcLet's say I have two coins, A and B22:59
bramcI introduce a huge transaction to spend A, then bump it out with another huge transaction to spend B23:00
petertoddright23:00
bramcAt this point, will peers forget about the first transaction completely or simply stop relaying it?23:00
petertoddyeah, they forget about tx #123:01
bramcSo then even if there is no replace by fee logic, I can create a new transaction which spends A which pays epsilon more in fees and use it to bump out the existing spend of B, which will cause everybody to forget about the transaction which spends B...23:01
petertodd(and actually, you have to have *three* coins, because you need a conflict)23:01
bramcLet's say that my transactions are greater than 500k, so any two of them will conflict23:02
petertoddno, w/o replace-by-fee the first tx that spends a given output is the one that is kept23:02
petertoddalso, max standard tx is 100k - larger than that won't get relayed23:02
bramcBut the first transaction was forgotten completely! The double-spend logic won't even notice that it's a replacement23:02
bramcAlso I can use ten 100k transactions, that doesn't fundamentally change the attack23:03
petertoddwait, double-spend logic? what double-spend logic exactly?23:03
petertoddand again, without replace-by-fee, transactions don't get removed from the mempool, except by being mined, or double-spent by a tx in a mined block23:04
bramcIn the existing deployed logic, if I get a transaction to spend A, then another transaction to spend A, I ignore the second one. But, if the first transaction got completely bumped out I'll have forgotten about it, so I'll accept a new one23:04
petertoddright23:05
bramcDidn't you just say that if a transaction gets bumped out because its fee is too low it will get forgotten completely?23:05
petertoddso, if I have outputs A, B, C, I can create tx1 that spends A,C, replace it with tx2 that spends B,C, and then broadcast tx3 that spends just A23:05
petertoddwhat's the exploit exactly?23:05
bramcOh that's a different kind of bumping out than I was thinking, I was thinking of things getting bumped out because the 1meg limit has been hit23:06
bramcSo there's no C. Let me think about using C.23:06
petertoddnah, the mempool knows nothing about the blocksize limit, indeed, the mempool is unlimited in size...23:06
bramcI think your logic will stop the bumping out due to using C just fine23:07
bramcRequiring it step up by a full min relay fee seems a bit hash. Maybe half would be good23:07
bramcharsh I mean, not hash23:07
bramcAh, so you keep whatever transactions you get but you don't relay them if their fees aren't high enough?23:08
petertoddactually, there's potential issues re: block propagation where the min relay fee might be too low to account for  the tx's signatures not being in the sigcache of other nodes23:08
petertoddno, txs that aren't re-relayed aren't kept23:08

petertoddbramc: they don't23:22
petertoddbramc: long-standing bug23:22
bramcCome to think of it, you couldn't stuff them full of more than the utxo set's worth of data, which isn't all *that* big23:22
petertoddwell... a GB of mempool space requires $2.5k worth of btc23:23
petertoddthe attack *is* possible23:23
bramcHow are you getting that value?23:24
petertoddwork out the minimum relay fee/KB * 1GB * exchange rate23:25
petertodd10uBTC/Kb23:25
petertodd*KB23:25
bramcIsn't the minimum relay fee set based on the other fees being offered, essentially zero if there's less than 1meg worth of transactions total?23:26
petertoddnope! it's hard-coded23:26
bramcIs it already hard-coded or is this new with your new logic?23:27
petertoddit's always been hard-coded23:27
bramcWhat's the current minimum transaction fee on a standard size transaction?23:29
petertodd10uBTC/KB * 0.2KB or something - it's purely a $/KB calculation23:29
petertoddanyway, go read the code, it'd do you some good :) AcceptToMemory23:30
petertodd*AcceptToMemoryPool() is the relevant function23:30
petertoddbbl later, bedtime23:30
bramcGood night23:30
