tulipbramc: the bitnodes site isn't something you should be relying on as it doesn't state its data collection shortcomings. it finds sockets it can handshake with which is trivially warped without running anything that slightly resembles a Bitcoin Node. it also counts IPv6 and IPv4 as distinct nodes where there's a good chance that every one of them are dual stack.16:14

bramctulip, Got any better source of data on full nodes? I'm not 'relying' on that data, except to the extent that the entire bitcoin ecosystem is relying on there being full nodes.16:15
tulipcalling nodes with listening sockets "full nodes" isn't really fair either. "full node" just means fully validating it has nothing to do with the public P2P network.16:16
sipait also fails to take into account that nodes may not be economically relevant16:16

bramctulip, For SPV clients a healthy ecosystem matters a lot16:22
tulipbramc: SPV is orthogonal to the P2P network. Electrum for example doesn't touch it at all.16:22
tulipBIP37 bloom filtering SPV does use the P2P network which was almost certainly a mistake.16:23
sipabramc: there are 2 things full nodes provide: 1) direct services to the network (like relay transactions and blocks)  2) the ability for the owner to get a guaranteed-correct view of transactions on the network so he can base his economic activity on it (which is what indirectly keeps miners from producing invalid blocks)16:25

bramcAbout weak blocks: There seems to be two ways to think about transactions, either they dribble in slowly, the 'current world', or there's always several blocks's worth of transactions already sitting around, 'bram world'16:39
-!- shesek [~shesek@bzq-84-110-208-231.red.bezeqint.net] has joined #bitcoin-wizards16:40
bramcThese are very, very different scenario's. In current world gmaxwell's plan of having each weak block reference an earlier weak block with a list of new transactions to add makes perfect sense. You add them as they come, and get all of them (well, one weak block behind, but despite the added latency you do get all of them)16:41
adlaitulip: miners shouldn't produce whatever they want, it'it'd be unfortunate if only they and exchanges cared about their own blocks, and suddenly all the bitcoin users were left waiting for godot^H^H^Heligius to producea block once a month, until we had a reaudjustment16:47
bramcIn bram world this approach works but it looks fairly goofy. The very first weak block will fill the entire available space, and later ones will have nothing to add16:47
* adlai files this under "how bitcoin fails"16:47
bramcadlai, All manner of failure modes show up once mining rewards get low enough16:49
* adlai files this under "how bitcoin fails"16:50
sipalet's switch to freicoin16:50
* adlai files this under "how IRC clients fail"16:50
bramcWe're trying to head them off at the pass by making latency not such a huge issue, but that doesn't stop all potential failures16:51
adlailet's shill fungibility incentivization because that solves a problem that bitcoin sucks at, as opposud to network effects16:52
bramcAnyhow, back on the actual reducing of latency: To make behavior not insane in bram world, you want to solve two problems (1) the  first weak block doesn't contain anything (especially bad when transaction fees are all you have), and (2) there's no way for new transactions to squeeze their way in mid-block16:54
bramcBoth of these have reasonably straightforward solutions: For (1) you make it so that each weak block contains two weak pointers, one being new transactions to include in this block, and the other being a whole new block's worth of transactions to start the next block off with if this one is successful16:55
bramcThat one is a little goofy in current world, because it does literally nothing for the time being. Maybe it's better to wait on proposing it seriously.16:55
bramcFor (2) you can make it so weak blocks can both add and remove transactions from previous weak blocks. This also is a little silly in the current world, because it will also literally do nothing. It will start doing something sooner than that other extension though.16:57

bramcbitcoin-wizards3, Trying to add security to 0conf with weak blocks is mostly fallacious. They're an 'improvement' in the security of 0conf, but multiplying epsilon by something is still epsilon. What weak blocks *are* very useful for is removing the disincentive for including transactions in one's blocks. Peter R's thesis relies on that disincentive as an axiom. It happens to be wrong.17:45

phantomcircuitbitcoin-wizards3, once again he has produced lovely pictures to explain something and completely and totally missed that it doesn't do what he thinks17:57
alpalpbut those pictures sure are pretty.17:58
phantomcircuitbitcoin-wizards3, the funny thing is that there are actually proposals which enable instant transactions17:58
phantomcircuitthe two of two scheme greenaddress.it uses which already exists is you trusting them not to help someone double spend17:59
phantomcircuitthe scheme bidirectional payment channels (such as lightning would use) enable instant transactions through game theory17:59
bitcoin-wizards3yeah agreed17:59
adlaihonest question here, and i hope it counts as signal: how do you react when somebody says something obviously revealing of simply not understanding any of the issues behind Bitcoin-with-a-capital-B (specifically, "i wanna run XT because i hate small blocks and lightning network")18:00
phantomcircuiti've not heard any other proposal which even sounded plausible18:00
adlaibetter rephrased, how do you respond that's not just dumping on them a pile of links18:00
phantomcircuitadlai, "ok but call it xtcoin"18:00
adlaithat's too low SNR :)18:00
adlaiespecially since most redditors have developed a very good "altcoin filter"18:01
adlai(but not good enough)18:01
alpalpadlai: I think you have to figure out what their understanding is - so if it's someone with honest intent, asking questions gets a lot further.  Find commonality, then go from there.18:01

jl2012alpalp: you are wrong (for block frequency). Assuming constant hashrate, the distribution of number of blocks in 12am-1am, and in 1am-2am are independent. However, the distribution of number of blocks in  in 12am-1am and in 12:30am-1:30am are not independent.22:55
jl2012in a given 4-hour interval, the probability to have at least 48 blocks is 0.000010428422:57
jl2012No matter it happens in this 4-hour interval, the probability is the same in the next 4-hour22:58
jl2012However, if you allow the 2 intervals to overlap, the probability of the later interval will be dependent on the observation of the earlier interval22:59

TaekI thought of a scheme that allows node operators (but not miners!) to accept blocks at a size limit of their choosing without damaging security23:41
Taekbut it does damage (pretty severely) fungibility23:41
adlaihow?23:41
TaekThe idea is that you keep the utxo set for all transactions that appear in the first X bytes of a block, where X is the custom limit you've set23:42
Taekthen, when accepting transactions, you only consider the transactions that come from the utxo set you recognize as valid23:42
-!- ryan-c [~ryan@srv1.turboslow.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]23:42
Taekminers will not include transactions that are double spends, or if they do you don't care because you don't recognize the tx as valid (it's below the byte limit you've set for yourself)23:43
Taekthe damage to fungibility is that once an output has been spent below a certain byte value, the coins spawned from that output will no longer be accepted by the nodes that don't read blocks that large23:43
adlaisounds like a great way to force people to defungiblize in order to not lose a fork-bet... or just pretend the whole thing doesn't exist23:45
TaekWhen spending, you need to make sure that your transactions appear in a part of the block that you recognize23:45
Taekso you'd need an OP_KBLIMIT or something, to make sure that your transaction is invalid unless it appears in the top half of the block23:45
adlaibitcoin_toinfinityandbeyond23:45
Taekyeah well the loss of fungibility is not an insignificant tradeoff. Also, it doesn't help miners, who still need a way to know if they are mining a double spend23:46
Taekit works for full nodes because they don't have to look at a bunch of new transactions and figure out which ones will be acceptable to miners with deeper blocks23:46
Taekso, as far as I've figured out, miners would still need to validate the whole chain, which means the miner centralization problem is just as significant23:47
adlaiit works for miners too, they just continue SPV...23:48
* adlai still maintains that it's downright naive to believe miners do anything but, until they are incentivized to (anonymously!) create short-lived reorgs23:49
adlaibut at least i wouldn't sign any alerts over it. i think irc panic is less correlated with market idiocy than DANGER WILL ROBINSON23:50
