bramcthe_last, hitting the transaction rate limit isn't a disaster, it just means transaction rates go up00:02

the_lastbramc: and when the cost of the transaction outweighs its purpose?00:14
bramcthe_last, transaction fees won't exceed the value people are getting out of them00:14
bramcBecause if it did, they wouldn't pay it :-P00:14
the_lastwe won't ever see fees above, say, $1?00:15
the_lasti mean, for microtransactions even something like a 20cent fee would be expensive, a 20cent fee for a $1 burger for example00:15

mountaingoatminimum bound on tx fee is the cost of mining + margin to make it worth it for a miner (excluding current subsidy), upper bound is whatever people are willing to pay to get their tx into a block faster00:17
mountaingoatotherwise it's a free market, at least in theory, and most people would probably pay market rate the_last00:17
bramcthe_last, microtransactions directly on the block chain are a bad idea. There are proposals for enabling microtransactions, most promisingly lightning network, but trying to cram them into the block chain itself is not happening from both a transaction fee and a time to close standpoint00:18

the_lasti see, thanks00:20
mountaingoattrying to keep zero fee txs ad infinitum because block reward subsidy exists is just putting off the necessary migration to a fee market, which i wish would happen sooner than later. of course part of the debate is probably a question of when is the right time, iiuc00:20

moahey bramc00:21
bramcmountaingoat, More than one core developer has expressed a desire to temporarily and artificially have miners lower the limit to make sure that everything can handle real transaction fees and be able to let it go back up again to the real limit in case there's a serious problem. That of course isn't happening in the current political climate.00:21
bramcYes moa?00:22
moawhat do you think about btc payment channels in a tit-for-tat for bittorrent bandwidth model?00:22

bramcmoa, bandwidth value doesn't work that way. It isn't a commodity.00:24
moabig pipes are valuable00:24
mountaingoatbramc: limit of free transactions per block??00:25
mountaingoat-?00:25
bramcYou can't take bandwidth and stick it on a shelf to use later. You can only offload uploading onto peers who also have the content00:25

bramcmountaingoat, meaning, have some fraction of miners continue to accept 1meg blocks, but only generate 500k blocks themselves00:26
bramcThat way you can test the limit-hitting logic now and not be totally fucked if it fails00:26
mountaingoatok, i see00:26

bramcWell, I've now written almost 2000 words of vitriol for a post about the subject at hand. Will finish it up and send it off for review tomorrow.01:24
mountaingoathas anybody written about the known milestones of scalability left for bitcoin and what the plan as the project is to achieve them?01:26
-!- rubensayshi [~ruben@91.206.81.13] has joined #bitcoin-wizards01:26
mountaingoati'd imagine the tx fee market is one of them, but i wonder what else i don't know about that. i'm also sure there's plenty that wouldn't be known until they're encountered in the wild.01:27
mountaingoat-that01:27

phantomcircuitwhich means implementing net settlement systems which use bitcoin01:29
mountaingoati'm not sure i follow ... what's net settlement?01:30
phantomcircuitmountaingoat, you pay me 1BTC i pay you 2BTC but instead of doing both i simply send you 1BTC01:31
leakypatmountaingoat: eg. Performing 1000s of small transactions off the blockchain and then netting them out and settling on chain in  a single transaction01:31
phantomcircuitthat's what micropayment channels and lightning do01:31
-!- wallet42 [~wallet42@85.100.40.253] has joined #bitcoin-wizards01:31
mountaingoatah right01:31
mountaingoatyeah, that would seem important to adapting rate to the bitcoin blockchain01:32
bramcIt's interesting how quickly core devs have come around to seeing lightning network as the future.01:33
bramcThe lack of any other serious proposals is probably a big part of it...01:33
leakypatbramc from my understanding it would need a lot of things to happen to make it work01:34
phantomcircuitbramc, lightning is an extension of micropayment channel hubs01:34
bramcleakypat, Depends what you mean by 'a lot'. None of them are crazy.01:34
phantomcircuitmicropayment channels in general have been widely understood to be the solution to scaling bitcoin01:34
phantomcircuitfor years now01:35
leakypatEven if all the coding is done and it is up and running . It still needs to get enough usage that I can route a payment via existing channels etc.01:35
leakypat(I think)01:35
-!- antanst [~Adium@ppp-2-86-206-246.home.otenet.gr] has left #bitcoin-wizards []01:35
bramcphantomcircuit, Fair enough, one can say that lightning network is the finishing details on the concept of micropayment channels01:35
phantomcircuitbramc, as interesting as lightning is i feel pretty confident that even better approaches are not only possible but will come out relatively quickly given actual scaling pressure01:36
phantomcircuitat present there is no real pressure01:36
bramcleakypat, There needs to be an ecosystem of payment intermediaries, but the requirements on how they're set up for the whole thing to work is actually quite loose01:36
leakypatEg. I don't have a channel open with company x, but company x does with   User y and I do with user y01:36
leakypatI have to be able to find a path for my payment01:36
bramcphantomcircuit, What deficiencies in lightning would you like to see addressed?01:36
bramcleakypat, Yeah it supports that01:37
bramcMuch larger systems have already been made to work in the wild. BGP, for example.01:38
bramcWell, it's way past my bed-time. Today's bitcoin-induced aneurysm is over. Good night everybody.01:38
phantomcircuitbramc, nobody has yet come up with a mechanism to do net netting01:38
bramcphantomcircuit, lightning supports that just fine01:39
phantomcircuitbramc, in other words it would be nice if the settlement could be safely delayed if both parties agreed01:39
phantomcircuitbramc, no you have to close out the channel eventually01:39
bramcphantomcircuit, No you only have to close out the channel if the balance goes past the deposit amounts01:40

gmaxwellI was talking to Michael Hamburg (from curves @ modern crypto) and he has a neat method to efficiently factor out the cofactor on twisted edwards curves with cofactor 4 like ed448-goldilocks (but not 8 like ed25519). So you can get a prime order group using the construction.14:32
bramcgmaxwell, What is that construction for?14:33
bramcgmaxwell, You've made some comments about objective metrics on the optimal size of the block chain seemingly indicating that the current limit is too big. What are those metrics?14:33

bramcOh yech, the spacecoin paper is using pebbling graphs. The straightforward approach is so much easier. Also they don't seem to have figured out the trick of interleaving proofs of time.14:36
gmaxwellbramc: there are a couple of negative indicators, node counts, business outsouring of processing instead of running nodes, number of VPS offerings that you can even run a node on, hashpower behavior-- explicitly and intentionally consolidating to reduce orhpaning (esp pre-matt's relay network) (also things like miners disabling signature checking, though that may be a fluke).  I wrote a better li14:37
gmaxwellst someplace I'll go look in a bit.14:37
bramcby 'consolidating to reduce orphaning' do you mean miners including fewer transactions because the value they get in transaction fees is worth less than the risk that they'll get orphaned?14:38

bramcBusinesses not running nodes is weird. It would be really nice if wallets ran full nodes themselves.14:39
gmaxwellbramc: wrt construction, people sometimes use EC curves where the group formed doesn't have prime order (ed25519 is one example). You generally need to assure that your points are in a particular subgroup. For things like ECDH this is easy (make your keys a multiple of the cofactor) and not of grave consequence if you get it wrong.  For fancier ZK protocols like ZK auth/password based kdf or thin14:39
gmaxwellgs like range proofs it's both harder to assure you're in the right subgroup and more important (as which subgroup you are in leaks data)14:39
kanzurebramc: businesses are often campaigned by certain other businesses that "develoeprs find it hard to use bitcoin core" etc14:40
heloyou pretty much need a programmer that understands the fundamentals well to integrate with it14:41
helovs a service like bitpay that works like paypal14:41
gmaxwellbramc: it's hard to sort out whats a accident of market dynamics vs a fundimental.14:41
helo(i think that is the problem more than the block size or hardware requirements to run a full node)14:41
bramcgmaxwell, Why not use a group of prime order? My recollection of the discussion of ed255 vs. secpk is that ed255 doesn't have odd order and the most recent secpk code is roughly comparable in performance.14:42
bramcIt could be that a lot of businesses just don't like running servers14:42
gmaxwellE.g. yes, it would be much healthier if wallets on high power systems always became (pruned) fullnodes in the background; but the software doesn't exist for that currently. So the fact that this hasn't happened may have nothing to do with the blocksize (though obviously it cannot happen for blocksize over _some_ threshold)14:42
-!- Giszmo [~leo@pc-185-201-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #bitcoin-wizards14:42
gmaxwellbramc: yes, thats one reason I like secp256k1-- that it has prime order. Though for curves where this projection trick works, may be just as good. (and perhaps better in some other ways).14:44
leakypatAre you referring to desktop wallets like armory or wallet services with central servers?14:44
bramcgmaxwell, In a very immediate practical sense not breaking heirarchical wallets is a good thing14:44
gmaxwellleakypat: desktop wallets.   WRT centeral servers; well that might be some kind of indicator regarding blocksize too but it's really hard to sort out the varrious effects.14:45
bramcIdeally even mobile wallets would be full nodes14:46
ajweissi've played with running pruned nodes on fairly beefy android phones before14:47
lmatteisto decentralize mining again, was it ever considered to embed P2pool sort of technology inside bitcoin core?14:48
ajweissit works, but practicality is tbd... also this is with zero optimizations or tweaks14:48
gmaxwellajweiss: I believe luke was running bitcoin core on his nokia 810 at one point in the past. :P14:49
bramcajweiss, moore's law is on our side, as long as the size of the block chain doesn't go up :-P14:49
ajweissthe problem is battery life and catching up14:49
gmaxwellbramc: I think mobile wallets could quite plausably be the kind of fraud proofed full security lite nodes that we can't currently do in Bitcoin.14:49
gmaxwelle.g. where it's mostly not checking things except a bit at random, but it can accept and verify proofs hat a block is bad and then reject it.14:50
ajweissit made me wonder if maybe running your own trusted and authenticated nodes that your thin clients can talk to would make more sense14:50
bramcgmaxwell, What do you mean by 'can't'?14:50
gmaxwellsee checklist: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/User:Gmaxwell/features#Proofs   (I think that list was missing something but I forget; anyways it makes the point)14:51
ajweissthe whole blockchaindataforyou.com vs. running your own node in a business might be solved by some dead simple and well marketed APIs for verifying things that could be used in tandem with the commercial service14:51
gmaxwellpart of the difficulty there is that the extra commitments are expensive to maintain (IO cost wise for full nodes)14:52
gmaxwellajweiss: so I've heard from some commercial service offerings that offer an API which also can talk to a local full node that very-few of their users use it, even with nagging.14:53

bramcVery few companies run their own email servers either14:55
bramcThe fraction of all email currently controlled by google is quite alarming.14:56
ajweissafaik there's no FOSS alternative that's even close yet14:56
Elielemail takes a crapload of administration effort that doesn't really increase with the number of users that much.14:56
gmaxwellbramc: even if you run your own and you're happy, google and hotmail will randomly blacklist you.14:56
Elielyes, part of it is randomly getting blacklisted :P14:57
bramcgmaxwell, I've been unhappy even with hosted services for the most part14:57
ajweissand the ongoing spam saga is pretty annoying... especially since it seems most of the development moved from oss to services14:57
gmaxwellThis has been a basically constant problem for several orgs I know about that self host mail on coloed servers. (e.g. wikimedia, creative commons).14:57
helogoogle hosting or... use gmail directly -.-14:58
gmaxwellOf course, for personal mail its almost crazy to use a personal service if you care at all about privacy, since in the US we have crazy legal perspective that you have no expectation of privacy for mail stored by third parties, and so virtually no legal protection for it.14:58
bramcI just use gmail, because the alternatives are a joke. I hope that microsoft gets their offering to be reasonably comparable.14:58
bramcAnyway, the point is that the trend towards centralization is very strong and difficult to counter14:59
Tiraspolhttps://protonmail.ch/14:59
gmaxwellCenteralization has inherent efficiencies, as well has incentives simplicity.14:59
zookoI use gmail. It spam-filters mail from Jeff Garzik and Mark S. Miller to me. Always.14:59
zookoWhich I think is hilarious.14:59
ajweissOur email service safeguards user data with strict privacy protections and our secure datacenter facility hidden inside a Swiss granite mountain.15:00
ajweisszooko: just on list, or in general?15:00
gmaxwellin general.15:00
gmaxwellof course every one of us who uses gmail creates pressure on those people to use it too... due to screwups like that.15:01
bramcOne of the few places where centralization is all awful is bandwidth. Hence BitTorrent.15:01
ajweissweird.  that should happen on list because they're using DMARC and the list is breaking the signature... why individual mail would break makes no sense to me...15:01
gmaxwell(nevermind that these people are in my address book and I've emailed them before... to the spamcan with them!)15:01
ElielI think a lot more companies would run bitcoin core if you could run one bitcoind and then have several wallets on different systems that all use the bitcoin core for their operation. if bitcoin core was zeroconf (and worked instantly) and wallet configuration only needed the ip-address/domain to the bitcoin core.15:02
bramcI've only rarely had spam filtering problems lately, but this is mostly due to hardly using email at all.15:02
bramcEliel, zeroconf is busted15:02
gmaxwellEliel: yea wallet/backend seperation would be nice; I've wanted that for a long time. There is motion in a direction which should eventually admit that... but there are so many fires burning.15:03
heloEliel: that will probably be possible in a few more releases... i think the wallet is moving further and further from bitcoin core center stage, at least15:03
helothen it may be pretty simple to point your various wallets at one node at home15:04
gmaxwellhelo: dunno about that; wallet in bitcoin core had no one working on it for some time, though thats not true anymore.15:04
fluffyponythat's the architecture we have15:05
helohopefully we'll be close in a year15:05
fluffyponycomplete separation between wallet and daemon15:05
Eliel(I'm working on a WIP bitcoinj based wallet software that's partially compatible with bitcoin core wallet RPC.)15:05
fluffyponybut then it used RPC, which is messy, so we're moving to 0MQ (pub-sub over the IPC->TCP transport)15:06
gmaxwellfluffypony: yea that seemed like an obviously better design. (not true of everything in monero, but I'm glad it learned something from bitcoin's mistakes! :) )15:07
fluffyponywe're still having to go through the same pain as you guys with delicately pulling consensus-critical stuff out into a library of its own, though, so there's that15:08
Elielthe main problem with bitcoin core is that while running it on one server is ok, it's very much not ok if it quadruples the resource requirements for every server you need a wallet on.15:08
fluffyponyEliel: the "quick fix" is to only allow one node on the network external access, and force the rest of the nodes to peer with each other15:09
fluffyponythen the resources are all eternal15:09
kanzurecould some clarify; is monero using zeromq?15:13
Elielfluffypony: if bitcoin core had SPV mode, then it'd be usable in that sort of setup.15:14

gmaxwellEliel: some of the resorces requirement stuff is just stupid. there is no particular reason for it to be so resource hungry now. The fact that you can't run it in basic tier VPSes has been a huge issue.15:17

midnightmagiclmatteis: I didn't see anyone answer your comment about embedding p2pool within bitcoin core. Yes, lots of people have said it, and gavin has mentioned he would be completely in favour of a C++ conversion of p2pool for inclusion with bitcoin-core. I suspect a separate daemon would be most palatable, but the answer is yes. And I suspect if it were cleanly-written, it would likely not have muc17:14
midnightmagich difficulty getting ACKs from the17:14
* midnightmagic stabs splitline17:14
midnightmagicuniversal developer set.17:14
kanzurewhat are the arguments against including the python implementation?17:14
midnightmagickanzure: probably dependencies. There were no arguments about it, as far as I know everyone else agreed a C or C++ implementation would be a superior direction.17:15
midnightmagickanzure: I suspect the fact that universal p2pool mining would push the canonical p2pool chain difficulty so high it would no longer be an effective reduction in mining variance and therefore unpopular. Probably manual subscription or semi-automatic subchain membership organization would solve that.17:16
gmaxwellkanzure: so p2pool is ... not very healthy right now. It's more or less unmaintained, and the performance is not great. (e.g. uses several hundred megs of ram).  AFAICT forrestv burned out on bitcoin when people with crappy centeralized pools were earning a hundred grand a month, and his major engineering feat bairly got enough for him to buy an asic miner (which then was never shipped).17:17
kanzureoh; yeah i guess dependencies would be bothersome, even when bundled into a release.17:17
kanzurealso was unaware of forrestv burnout.17:17
gmaxwellmidnightmagic: it always results in variance reduction, right now the low hashrate on it overwhelmingly dominates, current users would still be better off with everyone using it.17:17

gmaxwellmoa:  I think I may have mentioned before I tried to come up with a risk metric for adaptive systems.  The idea, I thought is you can consider the universe a probablity space and then ask how unlikely an event the process could bring about, and use that as an estimate of danger.  But after not-much reflection I realized simple processes like the phased lock loop that brings my local atomic clock18:57
gmaxwellin sync with UTC from GPS is able to cause synchronization with error <= 10e-13 level quite quickly, which is impossibly good alignment from a probablity perspective... so by that kind of metric like ... everything would be very dangerous, so not that useful.18:57

moamaybe a better starting point is that the universe is an incredibly dangerous place, everything is dangerous it is a miracle every second we stay alive?19:04
moalife and living is the low probability event19:04
gmaxwellwell we already know life is dangerous!19:05
moayup, it's axiomatic then19:05
gmaxwellI think that intution is not completely awful, e.g. it correctly detects a bunch of dangerous things (people) and not very dangerous things (rocks)... but unfortunately it also calls many things that are probably not very dangerous dangerous, like a phase locked loop syncing oscillators.19:06

kanzuregmaxwell: i think we need better strategies than that (e.g. we really should have not-all-your-eggs-in-one-basket redundancy so that if we turn out to be in a world where very dangerous things are highly probable and easily achievable, then we are less entirely screwed)19:52
