if peers are building on first-validated, miner has to balance the tx fee against the increased risk that peer will fail to finish validating his block first. this might just push up fees.
< alpalp>
why would a peer fail to validate his first?
< alpalp>
peer would need to validate 2 blocks instead of 1?
< dgenr8>
parallel validation is being considered in some quarters
< alpalp>
not sure how that applies. My fee thing was more a hypothetical. I might prefer one block at same height over another for many reasons
< dgenr8>
ok, yes. PV is just one example of a non-first-seen rule
< alpalp>
PV?

dgenr8: why would you prefer to validate 2 competing blocks slower, vs validate one at a time?
< alpalp>
if you can validate 2 in parallel faster than 2 serially, you know which to buildon
< dgenr8>
luke-jr: BU is working on this to try to discourage blocks that take unusually long to validate
< luke-jr>
alpalp: but it won't be faster
< luke-jr>
dgenr8: it doesn't make much sense to measure actual validation time in light of compressed blocks..

friendsofbitcoin, luke-jr: if you want to rebase 7534 please do it after 8499 is merged. It has to disable uncompressed keys in segwit script
< luke-jr>
jl2012: already did it
< luke-jr>
can do it again

jeremyrubin: does your cuckoo implementation favor h0 over h1?
< wallet42>
can't join #bitcoin-dev anymore? need +r ?
< wallet42>
also congrats on sipa's proposal for a BIP9 activation date. very excited. :-) i d'ont want to be a party pooper
< wallet42>
but do you technically need to also define a timeout date?
< sipa>
indeed.
< wallet42>
or is it just 1year by default if nothing is specified?
< instagibbs>
it's the suggested length in nip9
< instagibbs>
bip9 even

belcher: if you're in london, interested in meeting up?
< belcher>
sure
< sipa>
belcher: i'm leaving on wednesday
< belcher>
pm'd

instagibbs: I'm not sure why it fails. It's random, like 50% chance

So I'm trying to follow the logic of broadcasting an inv message for a tx you have made from your wallet on the network, and I've made it to here in main.cpp, where it looks like the
