oh so the RPC's are written in the console in the bitcoin core app?
< sipa>
in bitcoin-qt you can type RPC commands in the console, yes
< sipa>
you can also use bitcoin-cli to send commands to a running bitcoind process

this probably belongs on #bitcoin

I am given an assignment to create a transaction to deposit 0.01 btc to a 2 of 3 multisig script. I have the public keys of three addresses and private keys of three. I have installed Bitcoin Core and configured it to a testnet. question 1: where do i write the code?
< wannabecoder>
hello, i am new to coding in bitcoin. I literally can't figure anything out.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15277 Hoping people can help with what is hopefully a simple environment difference between Ubuntu and this other distro. dongcarl is really close to a deterministic replacement for gitian's toolchain.

Hi all. dongcarl is doing great work picking up the p2p refactor project (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/4). I think it makes sense for him to have write access so he can update that board. Due to github permissions, that would also allow give him write access to do things like tag and close issues. It would *not* give him commit permissions.

echeveria: a few years ago, someone decided to tip me unknownst to me, and googled "luke-jr bitcoin address", then paid a random address on the bc.i page (which luckily happened to be my *change* address in the transaction that came up)
< gmaxwell>
luke-jr: at least by transaction count bitcoin core usage appears to outpace electrum something like 5:1
2019-02-19
< gmaxwell>
booyah: and in bitcoin today users generally assume addresses can be reused. It's not a great assumption.
< gmaxwell>
luke-jr: you've had years where you could have also written wallet features in bitcoin core to do stuff like pop up a message saying "You're paying to an address you've paid to before. Is this a mistake? Address reuse can be a symptom of a mistaken double payment and can lead to privacy or funds loss". but apparently it wasn't important enough to you to bother.
< gmaxwell>
Not according to how bitcoin has always worked.
< booyah>
is bitcoin somehow improving strength of normal random as provided by OS specific api?
< gmaxwell>
overwhos fault it was. That kind of footgun isn't what you expect from bitcoin engineering, it sounds like something ethereum would do.

luke-jr it does, bitcoin core's wallet has the history

maybe we should take this to #bitcoin

its a wrapper around bitcoin core's wallet that speaks the electrum server protocol, so it has no extra indexes and is compatible with pruning etc

< gmaxwell>
I don't agree that any reduction of block sizes is "up for discussion" in bitcoin core development. Quite the opposite: You have already been privately censured for creating drama in the press for annoucing some absurd reduction fait accompli when you hadn't even brought the subject up with other developers.
< luke-jr>
bitcoinEnthusias: the only thing up for discussion at this time is a reduction in block sizes; take this topic to #bitcoin if you want to continue it
< jarthur>
bitcoinEnthusias: on the protocol side, sipa has been organizing a BIP for Schnorr signatures. It hasn't officially been proposed yet, and typically an implementation would follow a proposal. https://github.com/sipa/bips/blob/bip-schnorr/bip-schnorr.mediawiki if you want to see the current state. bitcoin-dev mailing list a fine place to discuss the proposal

< gmaxwell>
take a step back. I believe the history of this discussion is that luke told someone somewhere don't use wallet X (some untrusted server SPV thing) because its insecure. Then someone said something like "well obviously I'm not going to run bitcoin core on my phone so how should I solve this"?
< gmaxwell>
provoostenator: it is because you don't need to know essentially anything about bitcoin.
< echeveria>
what I don't want to deal with is the bitcoin project being responsible for a bunch of people running outdated, vulnerable tor software that's doing nothing but harm them. include some scripts for setting this up in contrib/ if people really want it. I certainly do not.
< provoostenator>
wumpus: I tend to agree that remote control is a more generic internet problem that can be solved outside of Bitcoin.
< wumpus>
remote control over bitcoin P2P? what?
< wumpus>
routing your traffic over a relay would make zero sense for the bitcoin protocol as all the data is public
< wumpus>
also I've always believed the way forward would be to improve the bitcoin protocol itself; BIP150/151, Dandelion, as well as lightning onion routing

but tor is illegal in some countries where bitcoin is not so coupling them as the only option is a bad idea
