wumpus, I'm not an old timer, which is why I'm asking more basic account questions. It's always been deprecated in my Bitcoin lifetime :P

< sipa>
it's probably a relatively good way to understand the design of bitcoin, but it's not that helpful to learn how the code works now
< luke-jr>
but in case he reads the log: I don't recommend reading the earliest code as a way to learn about Bitcoin. It was a mess, and included a lot of features later discarded (eg, built-in marketplace)
< meownow>
im currently reading through the first commit of the bitcoin source code onto github. seems a good way to familiarize myself with the core of the code base and what it does.
< luke-jr>
sipa: protocol changes need consensus. we can't force them on people. but it only takes good willed miners to use pro-Bitcoin policys.
< dermoth>
yeah and my apologies; I though I was in #bitcoin-dev (not -core-)
< sipa>
dermoth, rabidus: also, please take this to #bitcoin
< rabidus>
you would kill the "store of value" property of bitcoin
< dermoth>
I think after a certain number of bitcoin cycles (210k blocks) we could scavenge all unspent coins from the oldest 210k block, put them in a pool and let miners siphon 1/210000th of that pool every block. At that point the older part of the chain could be completely dropped as it would no longer have any use, and pooling the fund would ensure miners get a predictable reward.

< wumpus>
many people only use their bitcoin wallet with wifi so could care less about bandwidth usage
< wumpus>
we're just nopt using BIP37 for the light wallet mode in bitcoin core. If you want to use it in your wallet go ahead.
< gmaxwell>
Chris_Stewart_5: besides, fetching blocks is 14kb/s ongoing (28kb/s perhaps soon)-- most people running bitcoin core can handle that without batting an eye.

gmaxwell: i did some search this morning at baidu. Searched "c1726ccc50635795c942c7d7e51d979c4f83a3d17f8982e9d02a114a15fef419" only one result (a thread http://8btc.com/thread-41510-1-5.html) someone use Avast complain that bitcoin 0.13.1 win exe downloaded from bitcoin.org was blocked by the avast. Search something like "bitcoin 0.13.1 win exe" top one is

Squidicuz: yes, bitcoincore.org is Bitcoin Core's site
< shinyg>
Maybe bitcoin is a software stack but Core is just software
< shinyg>
makes sense, how about is Bitcoin Core a Solution stack or software as some describe it/
< achow101>
they're trying to separate bitcoin core from bitcoin.org as bitcoin.org is for bitcoin in general whilst bitcoin core is a specific project
< sipa>
but bitcoin core has its own project website now
< shinyg>
so was there a specific reason why new releases stopped coming from bitcoin.org?
< achow101>
also, IIRC bitcoin.org and the bitcoin foundation are no longer related
< achow101>
shinyg: blockstream does not fund Bitcoin Core development at all. There are developers who work on Bitcoin Core who also have jobs at Blockstream. The people who actually partially fund development are the MIT DCI who actually pay some people to work on Core (wladimir, cory)
< shinyg>
I have recently expanded the Wikipedia article for Bitcoin Core by a factor of 10. Could someone spend just a few minutes to see if there are any major ommission or errors?
< shinyg>
Hi people, I was after a little assistance from those who know more about Bitcoin Core and those who support Wikipedia.

okay, bitcoin's sha256 is 237.1 million bytes per second, openssl is 320.7 million bytes per second.. and the chacha is 358.6 million bytes per second. (openssl at slight disadvantage due to 8k vs 1m size, but it doesn't matter much)
< btcdrak>
gmaxwell: no no, we're not allowed to sign that, because it's Roger Ver's attempt to snub Bitcoin Core. Looks like a more watered down version of the first leak http://pastebin.com/cgkqcWBS.

wumpus: you mean that bitcoin core should have it's own random service like, for example, OpenPGP that uses other computationally intensive processes running on your system?
