Taek"The typical example is that say I have a program that needs to divide two numbers, division is a complex operation but instead I can provide an extra input where I say this is the result of the division and it does multiplication to verify."06:55
TaekThat's a potentially fun way to think about lite-clients. You give them the on-chain data, and then you give them *extra* data, and using that extra data they are able to substantially reduce their computational overhead06:56

Taek"Iused to work on quantum ish stuff. They argued that quantum computing would never exist, because the cost of computing would scale exponentially with the number of bits. (laughter) I think we're running out of time, but I did want to bring up the issue of quantum computing and the future of bitcoin. There are some criticism about the lack of preparation regarding what bitcoin has been doing regarding post-quantum. There should be a quantum07:22
Taekresistant system." -> has the state of the art of quantum computing evolved? I thought practical quantum computing was still not on the visible horizon07:22

TaekThe boneh transcript is super interesting. kanzure has said it about 40 times at this point, but y'all should definitely read it: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/2016-july-bitcoin-developers-miners-meeting/dan-boneh/07:34
katu_Taek: yes07:34
katu_all about superposition on SQUIDs now07:35
bsm117532Entropy is a bitch, and will remain so.  The D-Wave device is not a quantum computer, but rather a massively parallel simulated annealing machine. It's important to figure out which problems can be mapped onto the D-Wave model.07:44
Taekfrom what I remember, none of the problems important to cryptography can be mapped onto the D-Wave model.07:45

Taekandytoshi: seems to me like payment channels would be inviable with mimblewimble (henceforce MW). Given that payment channels provide excellect opportunity for both scaling and privacy (insert massive amounts of engineering here), does that mean that MW is not an improvement unless we can somehow recover that upgrade?07:52
katu_bsm117532: its more like that you can't run an algorithm in such a noisy environment, i'd not call it simulated annealing though, if google acked that it's for reals.07:58
katu_batch processing can be still useful, just not to run shor yet.07:58

TaekIf I'm a forensic company that specializes in de-anonymizing Bitcoin transactions, it's not that much work for me to spin up a ton of nodes and try to get a broad view of the flood network09:51
instagibbsI'm guessing we'd probably replace the p2p network anyways :P09:52

-!- andytoshi [~andytoshi@wpsoftware.net] has joined #bitcoin-wizards09:53
Taekfrom a theoretical standpoint, the flood network is one of my least favorite parts of Bitcoin. I don't think I'm alone in this, but I also don't recall seeing a lot of research being done exploring alternatives09:53

Taekkanzure: the problem is that an adversary who is watching transactions flow around and be merged is going to be able to separate them. Someone looking at the blockchain after-the-fact will not be able to, but unless I'm missing something an attack will still be able to ~know which inputs and outputs are associated with which parties11:00
TaekI guess you could release the transactions through a mixnet of some sort11:00

laurentmtHi there ! Just a question about MimbleWimble : the article cites 4 or 5 millions utxos in the blockchain but we currently have around 40 millions utxos. Is it a typo or do I miss a technical subtility (it's likely) ?13:18

laurentmtWell, if it's a typo, I fear the scalability improvement doesn't hold since we would have to compare 80GB to 135GB13:20
laurentmtanyway, it doesn't remove anything to the cleverness of the idea13:21
laurentmt:)13:21

bsm117532Where the horse is bitcoind.13:22
laurentmtand if I correct, estimations done by the author at the end of the paper correspond to 5millions utxos13:22

bsm117532PBFT has to poll all nodes and have a quorum respond, so the communication scales like N^2 in terms of N nodes.14:41
bsm117532Also, they generally have a leader, which in my opinion is a bad idea because an attacker can just attack the leader...14:42

JackHi will read this14:44
bsm117532Bitcoin by contrast has an ex-post-facto leader, in that you don't know who is going to produce the next block, but the role of creating a block is akin to a "leader" in PBFT.14:45

bsm117532This leaderless decentralization of attack surface is very important to Bitcoin's security, IMHO, and I want Bitcoin to keep it's ex post facto nature, in general.14:46
bsm117532I would love to see an altcoin that was Honey Badger + posting of PoW hashes, if Honey Badger does indeed solve these problems.14:47

bsm117532JackH: "Handle (hopefully rare) PBFT deadlock events" -- one way to take down a PBFT is to throw it into its "leader election" phase, which has even worse complexity than the standard case, and progress cannot be made (tx not posted) without a leader.14:55

andytoshiTaek: why do you think payment channels are inviable? what do i need beyond multisig and locktimeverify (both of which i believe i can do)17:04
gmaxwellandytoshi: also, other features could be used but would only have SPV like security... no one seems to whine about the more than a few altcoins that only have spv like security of history period.17:06

andytoshiregarding nobody whining about these coins, unless you're referring to "the only actual node is poloniex" security model, the only coins i'm aware of which deliberately have SPV-like security are just too small to be worth forging a chain for17:08
gmaxwellandytoshi: no I mean the more than a few thing that can run off utxo snapshots.17:09
gmaxwelle.g. go-ethereum in the recommended --fast mode, or any of several others than I can't be bothered to look up the names of right now.17:09
andytoshiah i see, that's cool, i actually did not know any of that was implemented17:09
andytoshi(though i should've guessed, ethereum at least has a remarkably active developer community)17:10
gmaxwellandytoshi: it's just how it works it has commitments to everything.17:21
gmaxwellit's not a "also did" its "the way its done"17:22
gmaxwelldownside is that it seems almost no thought was given to the efficiency of the commitment scheme... so probably part of the reason the sync is so much slower (in terms of time per transaction) than Bitcoin.17:24

Taekah glanced over the part where you think timelock is possible. Though it's weird to think about having a timelocked transaction that gets obliterated after all the outputs are spent.21:47
TaekI think also worth stating that I find the privacy aspects of MW more interesting than the scalability aspects, the 80GB -> 30GB is certainly big, but doesn't seem like enough to get 7 billion people online21:48
Taekyou might not have to throw out so many features if you are willing to skip the history-deleting bit21:49
Taekhmm21:49
Taekon an unrelated note, I found an interesting equation.21:52
-!- ThomasV [~ThomasV@unaffiliated/thomasv] has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]21:53
TaekThe % hashrate you need to get from the hashrate you currently have to enough hashrate to hit 51% is 104-2y, where 'y' is the amount of hashrate you currently have21:53
TaekSo, a miner with 40% hashrate needs to get (104 - 80) 24% of the hashrate to hit a 51% attack21:54
Taekoh it might be 102 - 2y21:54
Taekeither way, a miner with 40% hashrate has to invest 50% more than they have already invested to rise from 40% to 50%21:55
Taekthat's a jump that is a lot bigger than I had intuitively assumed21:55
TaekA person with 33% hashrate has to *double* their hashrate to get to 51%21:55
TaekI was also able to show that if you have a group of miners who always re-invest their profits, and one miner is more able to convert profits to hashrate, that one miner will asymptotically approach 100% hashrate (assuming there is a linear relationship between money invested and hashrate, which is not how the real world works)21:57
gmaxwellTaek:  you get a majority if you increase your hashrate by a factor of (1/s)-1   where s is your proportion of hashrate.22:08
