there's one difference though: tor only authenticates on opening the connection, bitcoin http authenticates for every request. So they can use more key stretching without creating command latency issues.
< Greyboy>
instagibbs, i know i'm new and my opinion is relatively worthless, but i think it's a good idea. my question is what percent of people who run bitcoin-core actually need this solution?

Okay, I confess some paranoia here-- I don't want this to be like the rpc hangs issue. Where we pigheadily avoid improvements for some silly footgun which is making people stop using bitcoin core and switch to hosted apis.

well definitely not here, this channel is just for bitcoin core related programming work. The proper answer to your question is stil 'the mailing list'. #bitcoin-dev is fine, but IRC discussion tends to be more ephermal than mailing lists
< CodeShark>
The usual procedure for BIP proposals is to discuss on mailing list first. But given that at least a few important reviewers/critics either have unsubscribed to the ML entirely or else just ignore it, should we discuss it here or in bitcoin-dev?

also, it may not be exploitable... the BN_sqr bug we found in OpenSSL (thanks to libsecp256k1's unit tests that compared with OpenSSL) was technically a hard fork for bitcoin when it got foxed, but an unexploitable one as far as we know

for me bitcoin core sync runs at around 8000tx/s (with secp256k1), even though every tx is involving a non-cachable missing record check for bip30 (in addition to all the cached stuff)... thats really quite remarkable IMO.
< gmaxwell>
FWIW, I've unsubscribed from bitcoin-dev mailing list.

yes, not a risk for us but we'll probably get asked to update when people notice bitcoin-qt links it.

Well it's also a bit #bitcoin-core-dev too, in that I think it would be useful if work were done in the GUI to make mining fun, ... but probably more than that is just speculation :)
< gmaxwell>
also it suggests a framework for setting minimum feerates which are independant of bitcoin's price-- though dependant on communications efficiency, which is perhaps no better. :)

morcos: the relay network has its own protocol, and a local proxy you run that speaks bitcoin p2p.
< tulip>
morcos: there's also stratum proxies like bfgminer and stratum-mining-proxy which present work to downstream miners, based on either an upstream work server or a Bitcoin node. the latter was meant for use with early hardware miners which supported getwork but not stratum.
< gmaxwell>
(Forrestv seems to have flamed out due to a mixture of bitcoin drama, and then donations to support p2pool being relatively low (compared to life changing amounts of income centeralized pool operators were getting), and then he got ripped off ... twice, I think, by mining hardware makers.)
< gmaxwell>
Also through this time the developer burned out on Bitcoin, and only does life support maintaince on p2pool now.
< gmaxwell>
P2pool is nice idea with cute features, but has always struggled with the high startup cost of having to run a bitcoin node with it; and then high latency asics showed up (in particular, some of the early BFL products had 10%+ hashrate loss from 10 second retasking)
< gmaxwell>
morcos: well it's armored by bitcoin nodes in and out; not that there haven't been problems.
< gmaxwell>
Yes. It is. I tried to do it for bitcoin core eons ago, but the utility library was GPLed... they since changed the licensing.
< wumpus>
sure that's why I dont give "integrate it into bitcoin core" as an alternative, but say communicate through a pipe or socket
< gmaxwell>
But the biggest reason for the seperate process is to tear down development barriers. E.g. so someone can build a module without the scarryness in bitcoin core. :)

< CodeShark>
if I whitelist a node, other than network/transport issues or misbehaving, is there ever any conceivable situation where the node could get disconnected by bitcoin core
< jgarzik>
morcos, the latter - I always travis in jgarzik/bitcoin on the merged tree before pushing
