< petertodd> xinxi_: I'm just saying, that anything that for any work you do that may require a hard-fork to deploy, you should accept that you may need to create a new currency, economically distint from bitcoin, to deploy your work in production
< petertodd> xinxi_: I'd suggest you take that kind of discussion to #bitcoin-wizards at least
< xinxi_> i need to make sure that tremendous amount of effort that could make Bitcoin even greater will be deployed.
< sipa> it is off topic for the developer of bitcoin core, which is what this channel is about
< jtimon> yep, sorry, #bitcoin I guess
< jeremyrubin> xinxi_: probably discuss this on #bitcoin
< sturles> xinxi_: All bitcoin users.
< jtimon> xinxi_: here's a few different ways to coordinate activation, the last 3 in there use bip 9 : https://github.com/jtimon/bitcoin/blob/0.12.99-consensus/src/consensus/versionbits.cpp#L172
< Chris_Stewart_5> sipa: Is there documentation for addrman any where? Doesn't seem to be in the p2p networking part: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#p2p-network
< xinxi_> jtimon: cool. so all the code in libconsensus is in this directory https://github.com/jtimon/bitcoin/tree/0.12.99-consensus/src/consensus, right?
< jtimon> xinxi_: right now the longest branch I have is https://github.com/jtimon/bitcoin/tree/0.12.99-consensus but I still have things to cherry pick from https://github.com/jtimon/bitcoin/commits/jt (plus some things that will just have to be new)
< bsm2357> Hmmm. Taking this question to #bitcoin-dev.
< jtimon> and I will continue in https://github.com/jtimon/bitcoin/tree/0.12.99-consensus but I won't open more PRs for now
< jtimon> kanzure: NicolasDorier: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8337

< jonasschnelli> sipa, gmaxwell: maybe you find time to quickly review the BIP151 switch from HMAC_SHA512 "KDF" to HKDF: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/compare/master...jonasschnelli:2016/07/bip151_hkdf?expand=1
< jonasschnelli> sipa, gmaxwell: mind doing a review of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8323? I'd like and I think its important to have this in 0.13
< jtimon> if we're sure about it belonging in libconsensus, I should squash https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8329/commits/8af7c64f6908ea4526efde9896d046c431016e00 in #8328
< jtimon> on another topic, should utilmoneystr be part of libconsensus only for this line or should we just write the message in satoshis? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8329/files#diff-ca81084f62961a188f5c1e86a5ff1d7cR238
< gmaxwell> KwukDuck: that kind of issue is usually caused by hardware error, lose or bad disk cables, or bad memory (run memtest86?)-- sometimes antivirus software can screw with the files bitcoin is using.
< jtimon> at least for bitcoin core as a caller (assuming one day bitcoin core directly calls libconsensus instead of its internals) I don't see how performance would be affected very negatively, I worry more about serializing and deserialzing the parameters (like the tx in verify) for example, since people have complained (that's the reason why libbitcoin copies the code instead of using libconsensus' API directly)
< jtimon> I was working on https://github.com/jtimon/bitcoin/commits/jt but I broke the branch when backported bip9 and never cared to fix it (but review is still very welcomed since I plan to rewrite/cherry pick most of the stuff from there)
< NicolasDorier> I started working on https://github.com/NicolasDorier/bitcoin/commits/blkconsensus but still not done
< KwukDuck> My Bitcoin Core client keeps crashing since a few days... http://pastebin.com/fiPXrzZY
< murch> gmaxwell: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7664#issuecomment-232230899 <-- I think you meant "is a large multiple" instead of "isn't"

< sipa> they're even discouraged and no modern bitcoin core wallet will use them by default
< Chris_Stewart_5> sipa: Is this section in the developer reference wrong then? Under the heading 'Transaction response' https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#tx
< xinxi> I've herd there is slack group for Bitcoin core dev. Who can tell me the URL?
< michagogo> (i.e. it _might_ let us sanely get Bitcoin Core into Ubuntu)
< michagogo> Which sounds like it would solve a lot of the problems we've had with Bitcoin being packaged in the Ubuntu repos

< phantomcircuit> wumpus, fyi you might find this interesting https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/8333
< phantomcircuit> indeed wumpus is right, possibly this could move to #bitcoin
<@wumpus> PSA: this channel is about bitcoin core development, XT and classic and certainly non-technical drama around them are very off-topic
< gmaxwell> eragmus: (1) because software that silently downgrades security then promotes itself as faster is a risk to the continued viability and value of Bitcoin, which I care about. .. and because he attacks me by claiming that I've acted unethically, which if left unchallenged ends up recycled as accepted truth in places like the NYT where it can cause me lifelong harm.
< gmaxwell> Seriously, if I wanted to 'backdoor' your software, the avenues available are far more profound-- your response has made me profoundly uncomfortable with the continued existance of Bitcoin XT-- you'll continue to copy code from Core, and when the inevitable errors that happen from interactions which I could never have anticiapted; you've shown that you'll accuse me of unethical or even criminal
< gmaxwell> A few days ago you seemed to be arguing that using the _miner provided_ timestamps on blocks to decide to bother validating the block or not would require 100% hashpower and control of the users local clock to exploit-- functionality you added without even adding a _release note_ to Bitcoin XT. Your response to this being pointed out was to again repeat accusations that I backdoored your softwa
< gmaxwell> And, what the heck is "a 51% attack" -- Bitcoin exists as a confluence of incentives, one part of it is that even a user who buys up large amounts of hashpower for a brief period only gains the ability to reorganize recent transactions, which is difficult to profitably exploit at any scale-- which users can protect themselves from by waiting for additional confirmations. Under the security mod

< GitHub44> [bitcoin] dooglus opened pull request #8331: Fix three 'comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions' warnings. (master...fix-compilation-warnings) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8331
< sipa> xinxi: (i'll only mention this once): bitcoin core's cryptography library (libsecp256k1) does have some modest attempts at formally verifying pieces of the code, and help there would also be very welcome. It's much less ambitious than proving properties about bitcoin's consensus code, but also much easier to accomplish something in my opinion
< petertodd> btcdrak: self-enforcing because of the underlying proof-of-work layers ensuring consensus, and the fact that people widely choose to accept the outputs of the system - bitcoin being a perfect - albeit inflexible - example
< petertodd> xinxi: equally, the definition of the bitcoin protocol is what the bitcoin implementation accepts as valid - the fact the code that does that is somewhat intermixed with code that records state is just a historical mistake
< petertodd> xinxi: the most likely way bitcoin will fail right now is a failure of decentralization, which is very closely tied to scalability
< petertodd> xinxi: bitcoin is exactly the same, except that on top of that, PoW allows our state to converge to a single consensus history
< xinxi> And the biggest concern of Bitcoin to me is not the lack of functions but its security. Many people still think it is too young and not reliable enough and could fail completely and thus don't want to adopt it.
< xinxi> To me, Bitcoin is great because it is solving a real problem.
< petertodd> sipa: point is, I think xinxi would be much better off solving problems in that problem space first, as they're easier to solve with more impact, and that'll give them tools to tackle bitcoin later; misunderstandings about that problem space are indicative of serious misunderstandings with how bitcoin works
< xinxi> petertodd: yeah, we can use Bitcoin in that AWS based smart contract platform. It does not have to be decentralized.
< sipa> xinxi: for bitcoin's security assumptions to hold, verification of blocks must be negligable in time compared to the block production rate
< petertodd> Chris_Stewart_5: I'm not saying there isn't interest, I'm saying that if you want to make a high impact with formal verification deployed in production, Bitcoin isn't interesting because the risks of deploying formal verification in production are higher than the theoretical benefits
< xinxi> But after that, we will take off. And Bitcoin will be much more secure than before.
< Chris_Stewart_5> petertodd: I think there actually has been some considerable interest in the formal verification community in bitcoin. I've talked to a handful of researchers myself and I don't think directing them away from the core protocol is a good idea
< sipa> xinxi: it gives you an idea of how complicated it was to find some of the actually known consensus failures in bitcoin
< sipa> and bitcoin's scripting language before the removal of OP_VER was also a consensus problem
< sipa> how many consensus failures in bitcoin can you name? :)
< Chris_Stewart_5> Bitcoin has already had issues with this in the past
< Chris_Stewart_5> petertodd: I disagree, the consensus layer is the bedrock of bitcoin, if we screw that up in a major way we are done
< xinxi> petertodd: I think we are just lucky that Bitcoin has not yet experienced any catastrophic attacks?
< petertodd> xinxi: it's not going to be huge - the reliability of the consensus specification/implementation hasn't been a major problem for bitcoin - other problems are far higher-impact (scaling)
< kanzure> xinxi: there are many bitcoin developers who want that as well. i think you could easily find collaborators from this conversation.
< xinxi> the purpose is simple. we want to make bitcoin reliable.
< GitHub72> [bitcoin] JeremyRubin opened pull request #8330: WIP: Structure Packing Optimizations in CTransaction and CTxMemPoolEntry (master...structurepacking) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8330
< kanzure> sipa: maybe we can hijack the milan conference for these purposes (scaling bitcoin 3)
< xinxi> For Bitcoin, the programming language is not a big issue, and using languages like Coq, which enables a unified way for both coding and proofs could make it a lot easier.
< gmaxwell> xinxi: yes, and Bitcoin has to achieve high efficiency, efficiency is a security parameter for us.
< sipa> so now bitcoin's "specification" implicitly depended on OpenSSL's implementation
< sipa> xinxi: for example, for a long time, bitcoin relied on OpenSSL's signature parsing code
< xinxi> so the motivation of this is to avoid catastrophic failures of Bitcoin.
< sipa> xinxi: so we've usually said that a specification for bitcoin would be descriptive but not prescriptive... the laws of the network are those implemented by the code that people choose to run, not by an abstract descriptio
< xinxi> hey guys, I want to make Bitcoin provably correct.

< gmaxwell> cfields: I've found that a lot of people would like to play with it are actually thrown off by setting an option. It's not so intutive for GUI users. I think this would greatly increase testnet usage to have builds that work more like bitcoin/altcoin installs.

< gmaxwell> The primary, nearly exclusive, argument provided to why someone won't overpower the network (e.g. briefly) is becaues there isn't much that they can do with it. They can't just blank-check write themselve an extra 100,000 Bitcoin. They can DOS attack and double spend their own payments.
< gmaxwell> yes, including the one built into bitcoin's p2p protocol, though thats several layers of irrelevance down the line. (also an attacker who can influence that one is already too powerful)
< CubicEarth> gmaxwell: Thinking about your 'carving a block of marble' analogy for forks, and thinking about the nature of Bitcoin, I tend to think that anything can be accomplished with a 'soft-fork', such as effectively raising the coin limit, etc. I see it like a nested-universe scenario, but in the marble analogy... take the statue of David. Say we find ourselves disappointed that Michelangelo didn't give David

2016-07-01

< CubicEarth> gmaxwell: well I'm pretty sure the rise of ETH was hurting the bitcoin price to some extent. I think this event was a decoupling, where Bitcoin shakes the monkey off its back.
< gmaxwell> which adversely impacted the bitcoin price even though many of us have been pointing out the related risks and distinguishing bitcoin on the basis of them for some time.
< gmaxwell> midnightmagic: I don't think that matters that much, but right now bitcoin "xt" is only not totally partitioned due to inbound connections from core to XT, but part of segwit is that segwit capable nodes will strongly prefer to connect out to only non-segwit nodes (because they must in order to get blocks once segwit is activated)-- the result will be making that partition complete.
< gmaxwell> signature validation is, and bitcoin core runs that in paralle... but normally almost all of the signatures in a block are already validated before it shows up.
< bsm1175321> Ok I think I understand. A wallet bitcoin.conf really should have 3 possible values then: non-segwit, segwit, and segwit-in-p2sh.
<@wumpus> morcos: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729 I think the release after that we can really remove the account functionality
< bsm1175321> |mcelrath@jane:~> bitcoin-cli -testnet getbalance
< bsm1175321> |mcelrath@jane:~> bitcoin-cli -testnet getbalance ''
<@wumpus> hm the new option -blockmaxcost is going to give user understanding problems: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/init.cpp#L455
<@wumpus> though of course it's not entirely certain whether the reported problems were due to this change, or another change, or a change in the general usage of bitcoin not directly related to a change in our wallet
<@wumpus> yea exactly, what I posted here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8298#issuecomment-229928583 I think what is needed first is a list of criteria to judge coin selection algorithms by
< GitHub78> [bitcoin] laanwj opened pull request #8298: wallet: Revert input selection post-pruning (master...2016_06_revert_wallet_input_postprune) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8298
<@wumpus> the vast majority of those may not be using bitcoin core in the first place
<@wumpus> so that research and simuation can be done outside of the specific scope of bitcoin core
< pedrobranco> sipa: hi, when you have the time can you help on the doubts in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7551? Thanks :)
<@wumpus> though at some point the 'exclude these coins and do the selection again' list would become very long, and is less suited for non-boolean properties like input size (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7664)
< gmaxwell> it ended up that way because they had multiple unconfirmed few-bitcoin outputs, and then a 1 bitcoin output and were making many not huge payments... so it decided to keep reusing the change because it considered them all equal.

< sdaftuar> sipa: gmaxwell: i think the fix is straightforward, please see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8295/commits/f15c2cde455174c7c899833fd5792460ed49a472
< zooko> Hey Bitcoin core devs. Over in the Zcash project we occasionally do things which might be independently useful to Bitcoin core.
< sipa> branch: github.com/sipa/bitcoin/commits/segwitcb
<@wumpus> the pull request to bump default dbcache to 300MiB is ready: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8273
< gmaxwell> I don't think its of major importance, but "Bitcoin XT" recently started making only outbound connections to other XT nodes. In combination with segwit, I believe this will partition them. Because they are such a small number of nodes I don't think it warrents much attention, but something to be aware of.
< petertodd> anyone get a chnace to look at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/8279 ? at a conf right now
< jtimon> sdaftuar: can't https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8295/commits/27362dda4d583a43ebf687ae097d2f45ba1c4c32 be a trivial to review separate PR ?
< gmaxwell> wumpus: I agree in principle except for the fact that a LOT of people have copied the "example config" from the bitcoin wiki and are setting all kinds of crazy things. :)
