A market supply of 1.2M doesn't sound like much, but these damn dumpers seem to have all 1.2M.  James, I think they have as many coins as you sir Tongue.  Oh well, cheaper coins for the true believers Grin

The more progress I make the lower the price is going!

BBR has already implemented a way to keep the blockchain size down

jl777 (sprnt) [5:29 PM]
but all the addresses are much longer and each tx is taking more space

jl777 (sprnt) [5:30 PM]
havent analyzed it in detail though

did you sleep yet?

----- February 15th, 2015 -----

btcdith [9:05 AM]
if you are struggling with a difficult bug just remember peace

jahl (sprnt) [9:33 PM]
i'm wondering, sometimes i stake with 1k sometimes 2k and sometimes only like 126 coins, does this have to do with coin age? if i resend all my coins to my wallet again in 1 batch, will it stake the same random % ? since then all the coins have the same age?

jahl (sprnt) [9:34 PM]
just wondering since, sometimes i send a few k, sometimes only a 100

jl777 (sprnt) [9:34 PM]
each unspent output is staking independently, so yes

jahl (sprnt) [9:35 PM]
ah k, thanks

jahl (sprnt) [9:37 PM]
altho before you said, more coins just stake more often, so it doesn't actually matter with how many coins i am staking at one moment in time, no?

jahl (sprnt) [9:38 PM]
altho i woudl have thought it did

jahl (sprnt) [9:39 PM]
hmm changed to 1k coins and stake is larger, so either it does or it is coincidence

jl777 (sprnt) [9:42 PM]
it stakes with more power, but after it stakes its age is reset so it needs to recharge

jl777 (sprnt) [9:42 PM]
you get a smoother totals with many smaller

jl777 (sprnt) [9:43 PM]
but overall is about the same

jl777 (sprnt) [9:43 PM]
unless you have a bad connection and just when your big stake is to win a block, it gets lost

jl777 (sprnt) [9:43 PM]
so if your internet is perfect one big is fine

jahl (sprnt) [9:54 PM]
damn, i ws hoping to get some cheap unity on BTer, lets hope they get up again, else its going to be expensive ynity :confused:

kitchentable (sprnt) [10:11 PM]
I had just moved some btc there last night as well in hopes that unity would go lower. Would be my luck it goes down the next morning.

jahl (sprnt) [10:11 PM]
same here

"Please be assured that we will not run away, we will assume responsibility for the user to recover the stolen Bitcoins."

jahl (sprnt) [10:33 PM]
lol

nippybrit (sprnt) [10:37 PM]
I don't see how you can recover stolen crypto

nippybrit (sprnt) [10:37 PM]
short of identifying someone IRL maybe?

jahl (sprnt) [10:38 PM]
yea, byebye 4btc, shite

skerberus (sprnt) [10:38 PM]
well atleast it seems that other non btc coins are still there

icebear (sprnt) [10:40 PM]
How bad is this for sn? The 400btc, what exactly was it for?

jahl (sprnt) [10:40 PM]
the ppl's btc

icebear (sprnt) [10:40 PM]
From ico?

jahl (sprnt) [10:41 PM]
this has nothign to do with SN imo

icebear (sprnt) [10:41 PM]
Hmm can you explain, I'm a bit confused :grin:

jl777 (sprnt) [10:41 PM]
it was the CNY raised during the IPO

jl777 (sprnt) [10:41 PM]
was converted to BTC

jl777 (sprnt) [10:42 PM]
in process of getting it out

jl777 (sprnt) [10:42 PM]
guess a bit too late...

jahl (sprnt) [10:42 PM]
everyone that had btc on their is quite frankly fucked backwards in the ahole

jl777 (sprnt) [10:42 PM]
but it was <5% of total funds raised

icebear (sprnt) [10:42 PM]
Ah okay that at least makes it better, still a lot though

jl777 (sprnt) [10:42 PM]
so not great, but not a disaster for us

jl777 (sprnt) [10:43 PM]
if the BTC hadnt dropped so much it would have been even less BTC

icebear (sprnt) [10:43 PM]
Ok thanks for the info

whetherman (sprnt) [10:48 PM]
7120 btc from the cold wallet. so presumably there is btc in the hot wallet. and would 7120 btc be the total of the cold wallet ....?

jl777 (sprnt) [10:49 PM]
i would imagine it is quite a big part of it

jahl (sprnt) [10:50 PM]
from the translation they offer 720 bounty to recover them

skerberus (sprnt) [10:51 PM]
nice bounty!

jahl (sprnt) [10:51 PM]
yea, so it has to be a lot

whetherman (sprnt) [10:51 PM]
hope the sn is ok

jahl (sprnt) [10:53 PM]
i hate these wake-up calls lol

whetherman (sprnt) [10:53 PM]
gonna be quite the bank run when / if they reopen.

jl777 (sprnt) [10:56 PM]
the funds left were mostly from converting the CNY raised during ICO

----- February 16th, 2015 -----

jahl (sprnt) [12:44 AM]
first time i am staking with 4k coins,  it shows in the fees, never send 4k to my wallet at once, so it kinda seems to random

cascrypto (sprnt) [1:38 AM]

btcddev (sprnt) [1:54 AM]
I hate thieves :disappointed:

whetherman (sprnt) [2:39 AM]

jahl (sprnt) [2:40 AM]

whetherman (sprnt) [2:40 AM]

whetherman (sprnt) [2:43 AM]

js.galt (sprnt) [3:14 AM]
Bter hacked?

jahl (sprnt) [3:14 AM]

jahl (sprnt) [3:20 AM]
7k+

jahl (sprnt) [3:20 AM]
its on their first page

jahl (sprnt) [3:20 AM]
https://bter.com/

cascrypto (sprnt) [3:22 AM]
in general they said difference is 2k

js.galt (sprnt) [3:22 AM]
how much u want to bet its the CIA hacking all these exchanges

jahl (sprnt) [3:22 AM]
or chinese gov

cascrypto (sprnt) [3:23 AM]
greedy manager with super expensive geisha

icebear (sprnt) [3:33 AM]
Why gov? Exchanges are like honey pots for black hats.. If you were able to anonymously hack 7k btc.. Tempting right..? :smile:

cassius (sprnt) [6:28 AM]
Think they will honour alt withdrawals?

cassius (sprnt) [6:29 AM]
Or it will all disappear? I don't know how it works when an exchange closes, but there are 50m NXT there and 50,000 UNITY

pondsea (sprnt) [6:54 AM]
Millions worth of cny

jahl (sprnt) [6:57 AM]
might be a good idea to set some low buys on those, they would get rit of them if they closed i would assume

js.galt (sprnt) [12:14 PM]
blackhats  that can hack the best exchanges in crypto and are willing to probably work for spy national agencies. perfect gig for them

js.galt (sprnt) [12:14 PM]
remember, governments are the mafia that won. They attract the smartests crooks

js.galt (sprnt) [12:15 PM]
godang thats allot of money, why hold so much with them? is it a liquidity thing?

js.galt (sprnt) [12:16 PM]
@cassius:  they said they will honor and restitute all affected users. But well we'll have to wait and see..

To get the basic qt wallet running on a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.1:

1) Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal

2) sudo apt-get update

3) sudo apt-get install curl

4) sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

5) sudo apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools \
    build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
    libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \

6) sudo apt-get install git

7) git clone https://github.com/laowais/bitcoindark

8.) cd bitcoindark

9) qmake "USE_UPNP=-"

10) make -j 3 -f Makefile

You should be good to launch the client now if there were no major errors along the way.

11) go to bitcoindark folder and double-click bitcoindark-qt.exe to launch client

12) go to home folder and press Ctrl+H to show hidden files

13) open hidden .Bitcoindark folder in order to access your wallet.dat file

14) create new text file within hidden .Bitcoindark folder and rename it to BitcoinDark.conf

15) copy/paste configuration file from bitcointalk OP into this text file

16) change "user" and "pass" in BitcoinDark.conf file to something unique and save it

Thanks for the update to reddit, any help there is appreciated. Yeah, still trying to get access, I'm going to write to reddit support to see if there is away to take control of it. Since en-joi is awol, can I refer the support to you, since you are a moderator? See if it might help if you can verify the situation. Thanks for any assistance.

lol I forgot about my moderation job at Reddit Cheesy well I founded the Twitter and slack accounts too, Wikia aswell.. Anyway, the problem is, I don't have full permissions acces at reddit, to add new MODs. However, I can at least edit the menu. So If you kindly ask me and send me some prepared data, I can update it. For new admins you need to contact en-joi, only he can add them

I can see Torn is still trying to get MOD rights at Reddit, but only en-joi can add him... so to be little kind, I updated the http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoindark/'s info, right side etc

The latest shift for the Xpool Multipool paid out over 17+ DRK, 74+ BTCD, 36+FIBRE & 0.1 BTC.

** We are now merge mining on all algos. X11: Unitus - SCRYPT: Dogecoin & ViaCoin - SHA256: DevCoin & NameCoin. We still have some more to add to SCRYPT. These bonus coins will see bumps in profitability across the board.

We have the new multipool now running full steam so now all my pool's hash rates are combined and already showing great results and payments are flowing. This should increase and stabilize the profitability.

DRK Miners that use X11, get paid DRK above and beyond what I mention here. This is because when we find a DRK block, you instantly get allocated your DRK share and it gets paid within a few hours of a block maturing. You don't need to wait for any exchanging so you'll get more frequent DRK payments as more DRK blocks are found.

Anyone can add an additional payout addresses to get your mined coins sent to you direct, instead of exchanged. You can also choose to split your earnings between any of our payout currencies!

Any problems, please PM as I may miss your post.

Cheers!

js.galt (sprnt) [2:40 AM]
just read in a newsletter that 5% of sNET revenues will be distributed to btcd stakes 'periodically' any estimates of how often this will happen or how that will be decided?

Also, I supose this will begin once isntantdex is live and revenues start flowing in, right?

jl777 (sprnt) [2:42 AM]
at most monthly and only when there is enough to make it worth doing

js.galt (sprnt) [2:43 AM]
ok. will the 5% be distributed evenly among all stakers. or proportinatedly based on their stake?

jl777 (sprnt) [2:43 AM]
each staking event will have equal weight

jl777 (sprnt) [2:43 AM]
regardless of how much they staked with

jl777 (sprnt) [2:44 AM]
the weight from stake is already factored in by the number of times you staked

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:44 AM]
the amount of btcd earned through staking just goes up once as a dividend?

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:44 AM]
is there some way to do that?

jl777 (sprnt) [2:45 AM]
yes

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:49 AM]
how does it work? is there an address that you can just send coins to and they get added to the stake or something?

jl777 (sprnt) [2:51 AM]
well, if you had a way to analyze all blocks for a month

jl777 (sprnt) [2:51 AM]
and find the address that staked each block

jl777 (sprnt) [2:51 AM]
then make a hash table with address + count

jl777 (sprnt) [2:51 AM]
increment the count for each block

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:51 AM]
ohh, I see now

jl777 (sprnt) [2:51 AM]
now you can iterate the list to get the percentage for each address

jl777 (sprnt) [2:51 AM]
multiply by the total avaialble

jl777 (sprnt) [2:51 AM]
construct a tx with the corresponding outputs

jl777 (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
sendrawtransaction

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
when people move coins with teleport, does that make it any harder to work out who has been staking what?

jl777 (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
no

jl777 (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
the address is the address

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
right

jl777 (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
and the privacy is maitained

jl777 (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
no need to register anyway

jl777 (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
just extra BTCD arrives monthly

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:52 AM]
rather cool

jl777 (sprnt) [2:53 AM]
also important to note that the SuperNET revshare will be in terms of BTC, NXT, etc.

jl777 (sprnt) [2:53 AM]
so this will first need to be converted to BTCD before it can be sent to a BTCD address

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:54 AM]
it's a really interesting system

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:54 AM]
does the btcd staking effectively "power" some supernet functions?

jl777 (sprnt) [2:54 AM]
with ramchains, i can do the above process in about a second

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:54 AM]
LOL

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:54 AM]
amazing

jl777 (sprnt) [2:54 AM]
btcd staking is just for BTCD

jl777 (sprnt) [2:55 AM]
I just use it as a way to allocate the revshare fairly

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:55 AM]
oh okay

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:56 AM]
is there a description somewhere I can read about how btcd is intended to provide teleport to other coins etc?

jl777 (sprnt) [2:56 AM]
https://github.com/jl777/libjl777/teleport.h

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:56 AM]
that may be alittle in depth for me :stuck_out_tongue:

mr_e (sprnt) [2:56 AM]
404

mr_e (sprnt) [2:56 AM]
:O

mr_e (sprnt) [2:56 AM]
The code is gone!

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:56 AM]
and a broken link haha

nippybrit (sprnt) [2:56 AM]
shit, time to sell

btcddev (sprnt) [2:57 AM]
ill buy it :simple_smile:

mr_e (sprnt) [2:57 AM]
sure, 2x price

jl777 (sprnt) [2:57 AM]
forgot it needs to be blob'ed

jl777 (sprnt) [2:57 AM]
url fixed now

mr_e (sprnt) [2:58 AM]
aren't .h files supposed to be headers?

mr_e (sprnt) [2:58 AM]
how come there is code in there

jl777 (sprnt) [2:58 AM]
i am strange that way

jl777 (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
I dont like linkers

jl777 (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
or linkers dont like me

mr_e (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
why not use .c then

jl777 (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
I am too lazy to add them to the Makefile

mr_e (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
lawl

jl777 (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
and I am too lazy to keep changing the function prototypes

jl777 (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
so I include one .c file which includes .h files which include other .h files and sometimes .c files

jl777 (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
it all gets compiled as one file.

jl777 (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
blows up the microsoft compiler

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
but unix compilers are fine and actually can do a lot more optimizations with everything in one file

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
so it makes for the fastest code this way

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
also I dont like linkers and they dont like me

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
I can change a function and 99% of the time all functions that use that function are included afterwards

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
so if I change it, no need to change any prototype. the function itself is its own prototype

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
i am told that it really confuses code analyzers

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
so no automatic way to generate all the fancy charts about the software flow

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
just have to download it into your brain and visualize it

mr_e (sprnt) [3:03 AM]
once you move on, who will be able to maintain this then lol

jahl (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
each staking event will have equal weight

jl777 [7:43 PM]
regardless of how much they staked with

jahl (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
not sure i get this, but it doesn't matter how much you own, you get equal amount of fees?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
the more you own, the more often you are staking

jahl (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
aaah

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
so to weight it again is making it stake*stake

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
this does not seem right

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
plus it is simpler to just count

js.galt (sprnt) [3:10 AM]
"'By sending at least 0.1 BTCD to the deposit address, it will fund your account at 100:1 ratio with a 2 NXT fee to cover tx costs. if you change the "convertNXT" field from 10 down to 2, then it will only use 0.04 BTCD. Min deposit is 0.05.'"

js.galt (sprnt) [3:10 AM]
free btcd?

js.galt (sprnt) [3:11 AM]
I must be missing something. so we would get 100 mgwBTCD to every BTCD we deposit?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:14 AM]
the amount converted to NXT is deducted from the mgwBTCD you get

jl777 (sprnt) [3:14 AM]
this is just a onetime thing for when you dont have a pubkey and wouldnt be able to do anything without any NXT

jl777 (sprnt) [3:15 AM]
maybe the exchange rate should be lowered from 100:1 to 85:1 so at this exchange rate I guess there is some freebie aspect

jl777 (sprnt) [3:15 AM]
will be hooking the conversion rate to InstantDEX orderbook price

jl777 (sprnt) [3:38 AM]
.

jl777 (sprnt) [3:38 AM]
kind of spooky

jl777 (sprnt) [3:39 AM]
usually complicated new code is taking many builds to debug, especially when needing data over the network

jl777 (sprnt) [3:40 AM]
first test for B4096 syncing seemed to just work on the first try. somehow the B64 telescoping did not seem to happen, but all the ramchain generators are in full agreement with the sha256 of the B blocks

jl777 (sprnt) [3:41 AM]
considering that this is the canonical version and each node has permuted all the high entropy strings' indices to a strict blockchain appearance order, it is a nice thing to see the perfect agreement among the nodes

jl777 (sprnt) [3:41 AM]
bugs in that would not be easy or fun to track down

jl777 (sprnt) [3:42 AM]
been up for day and half i think, not sure how much longer before I need to recharge. still need to get the B64 and then the actual data from the B blocks

mr_e (sprnt) [3:51 AM]
awesome:S

mr_e (sprnt) [3:51 AM]
:smile:

mr_e (sprnt) [3:51 AM]
how is the btc ramchain coming

jl777 (sprnt) [3:53 AM]
similar to my relationship with linkers

jl777 (sprnt) [3:55 AM]
another reason for selfhealing ramchains is that when I expand it to the generator side too, I can use it to parallel generate the btc ramchain and also to recover from the inevitable errors that happens while loading a 30 GB!!! blockchain

jl777 (sprnt) [3:56 AM]
i had a stupid swiss cheese bug over the weekend and so an unknown number of bad blocks crept in

jl777 (sprnt) [3:57 AM]
so after trying to remove the bad ones yesterday, I decided to just treat it like I want to treat the windows

jl777 (sprnt) [3:57 AM]
yes, I did rm -rf and wiped it clean

jl777 (sprnt) [3:57 AM]
so now it is redoing the V blocks, up to 220K

jl777 (sprnt) [3:58 AM]
I figure by the time I am done with the selfhealing ramchains, the BTC ramchain is either done or close enough to done I can selfheal it to completion

jl777 (sprnt) [4:06 AM]
...

jl777 (sprnt) [4:06 AM]
again the same bug!

jl777 (sprnt) [4:07 AM]
my most common bug is that I forget to call the function I wrote specifically for the task.

jl777 (sprnt) [4:07 AM]
similar to building a gizmo and forgetting to turn the power on...

jl777 (sprnt) [4:07 AM]
so now it should at least do the B64 blocks. we shall see

carpediem [4:27 AM]
joined #general

jahl (sprnt) [5:02 AM]
does every function start with void?  ex. void run(), yes or no will suffice, just examples so far this guy always uses void atm, i guess i will see when it evolves, just wondering atm

js.galt (sprnt) [5:42 AM]
not sure I get the 100:1 convertion ratio still. is this 100nxt per 1 btcd?

js.galt (sprnt) [5:43 AM]
or 100 mgwBTCD per 1 BTCD?

atckit [5:49 AM]
I had a n electrical outage earlier today. When i restarted my btcd wallet in order to stake, i got an error message saying : "can't load blockchain". Anyone seen this error before?

jahl (sprnt) [5:51 AM]
i once had to redownload the entire blockchain afetr a power outage

jahl (sprnt) [5:51 AM]
not sure if there is another way

atckit [5:51 AM]
how can i do that?

jahl (sprnt) [5:53 AM]
i think i removed the blk0001.dat file

jahl (sprnt) [5:55 AM]
else copy the peers.dat and wallet.dat to desktop, remove everything inside the bitcoindark folder, then run the wallet, close it again and copy back these files into the folder

atckit [5:56 AM]
ok will try. thx

atckit [6:27 AM]
I couldn't get any connections after doing this. So, I went to http://bitcoindark.pw/ to find a conf file and compare it to the conf file i downloaded using the link from the Bitcointalk OP . I was missing several nodes.  All good now. (edited)

jahl (sprnt) [6:28 AM]
ah, i never fiddled with the config file, so i just make sure i have a copy of my peers.dat file when i delete anything :simple_smile:

jahl (sprnt) [6:29 AM]
so next time save your config file :smile:

atckit [6:44 AM]
Yup:grinning:

js.galt (sprnt) [8:37 AM]
oh, i get the conversion rate thing now, i think

----- Today February 14th, 2015 -----

js.galt (sprnt) [2:57 AM]
@jl777:  do we have any feedback from third party reviewers of BTCD like @kristovatlas  yet? Also, I know another group of pro infosec researchers that might be up to the job. If there's some money on it, like that bounty. I'll reach out.

jl777 (sprnt) [2:58 AM]
no final feedback yet

mr_e (sprnt) [2:58 AM]
any initial feedback?Tongue

jl777 (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
I did get some invaluable feeback from Come-from-Beyond and will be enhancing things to a level I did not believe possible

mr_e (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
oh wow

jl777 (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
the initial feedbacks from kristov has been mostly minor things or no issue at all

mr_e (sprnt) [2:59 AM]
you code warrier

jl777 (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
this is  a very complex project in a very complex field

mr_e (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
yes

jl777 (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
and I am making it so it is something pretty good

mr_e (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
and yet... everything is near perfect on your first try

jl777 (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
but then when improvements can be made to the weak parts

mr_e (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
if I get a single file to do that I don't know whether to be happy or scared

jl777 (sprnt) [3:00 AM]
until there are no weak parts

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
i usually need to rewrite things 3 times to get it right

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
like ramchains

mr_e (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
should do 5 to be safe

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
no

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
when it is optimal, it is hard to improve

mr_e (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
haha

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
ramchains are not quite there yet

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
but it just needs a bit of code cleanup

jl777 (sprnt) [3:01 AM]
not anymore rewrites

mr_e (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
so what is all this stuff about adding python and java and bash?
adding it to what?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
SuperNET

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
other projects

mr_e (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
adding it in what sense?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
it turns out not many are C coders

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
so if there was a project in python

mr_e (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
we talking turing complete etherum type stuff?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
then now it can be integrated into SuperNET and it publishes API for everything else

jl777 (sprnt) [3:02 AM]
well it is turing complete

jl777 (sprnt) [3:03 AM]
but it is runing on each node

mr_e (sprnt) [3:03 AM]
sounds risky

jl777 (sprnt) [3:03 AM]
it just allows addons to be done easy

jl777 (sprnt) [3:03 AM]
risky?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:03 AM]
pangea it is written in python

mr_e (sprnt) [3:03 AM]
so you mean, extension hooks for supernet to be extended by other languages?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:04 AM]
pangea it is written in python

mr_e (sprnt) [3:04 AM]
ya

mr_e (sprnt) [3:04 AM]
that's a third party app

jl777 (sprnt) [3:04 AM]
so I thought it would be a good idea for pangea to be able to become integrated into SuperNET

mr_e (sprnt) [3:04 AM]
no shocker there

mr_e (sprnt) [3:04 AM]
so, are these libraries?

mr_e (sprnt) [3:04 AM]
supernet libraries for other languages?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:04 AM]
and since pangea will be using the SuperNET api it is requiring to support python

mr_e (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
it's just rest calls

mr_e (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
so it already supports it

jl777 (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
yes libraries of python code

jl777 (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
1000 RPC per second limit via localhost

jl777 (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
by direct integration you could do almost a million per second

jl777 (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
depending on the API of course

mr_e (sprnt) [3:05 AM]
well that sounds wonderful

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
it just allows other coders to add to the SuperNET core

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
so I am adding python, there is already the bash scripts

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
actually I generalized it so any compiler can be called

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
compiler -> interpreter

jl777 (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
and actually any system call can be made

mr_e (sprnt) [3:06 AM]
don't forget your favourite, C#

jl777 (sprnt) [3:07 AM]
not even sure what that is

jl777 (sprnt) [3:07 AM]
but I will be adding Java

jl777 (sprnt) [3:07 AM]
and maybe mysql and MATLAB

mr_e (sprnt) [3:07 AM]
node.js?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:07 AM]
ruby

jl777 (sprnt) [3:07 AM]
libuv is already in SuperNET

btcddev (sprnt) [3:12 AM]
supernode.js :simple_smile:

btcddev (sprnt) [3:12 AM]
i can't wait to see what people do with python tradebots

btcddev (sprnt) [3:13 AM]
to have the ability to call python scripts from within supernet api, then have the full suite of supernet calls available...it's gonna be nice

js.galt (sprnt) [3:27 AM]
@jl777:  Does Teleport still function, so that the reviever has to trust the sender not to spend the tx, before clonesmear delay is finished?

jl777 (sprnt) [3:29 AM]
yes

jl777 (sprnt) [3:29 AM]
it is recommended to not deliver to the sender whatever the tx was for until cloning complete

jl777 (sprnt) [3:29 AM]
with average 1 hour clonesmear,this time is similar to BTC tx times

js.galt (sprnt) [3:31 AM]
great, ty.

js.galt (sprnt) [4:44 AM]
So, why has BTCD not made teleport accessible through the QT yet?

js.galt (sprnt) [4:44 AM]
writing an article as you may imagine. :simple_smile:

jl777 (sprnt) [4:46 AM]
the onramp/offramp needs to be made secure

jl777 (sprnt) [4:46 AM]
without that protection it is too easy for people to make a mistake and lose privacy

jl777 (sprnt) [4:47 AM]
so the InstantDEX + MGW is part of the solution along with BBR

js.galt (sprnt) [5:06 AM]
onramp/ offramp ?

jl777 (sprnt) [5:17 AM]
from the public blockchain into the Teleport system

js.galt (sprnt) [5:46 AM]
what risks or threats is it vulnerable to?

jl777 (sprnt) [5:54 AM]
bitcoin is fully identifiable so imagine having big brother find out exactly when and where you made a deposit into the teleport system (or withdraw)

jl777 (sprnt) [5:54 AM]
it is like a windowless building with a door

jl777 (sprnt) [5:55 AM]
and if you are coming in or out of that door, then the cameras can see you

jl777 (sprnt) [5:55 AM]
once inside the building, then it is not visible

jl777 (sprnt) [5:55 AM]
so the Teleport system is like the inside of the building

jl777 (sprnt) [5:56 AM]
but the doors need to be made a bit more clever

jl777 (sprnt) [5:56 AM]
like not having doors

js.galt (sprnt) [6:14 AM]
I want to clarify how I use the words security and privacy, so we can talk about the same things. Security to me means the degree to which you can keep others from taking your property. This includes pass words, and private keys.

Privacy means to what degree you can keep information from being leaked. You would still have the information, but so would people whom you don't want to share it with.

From your responce,  I gather this is a privacy / informaion leak issue.

So, assuming everyone was using tor and a vpn. would this onramp/oframp problem still exist?

js.galt (sprnt) [6:14 AM]
well, assuming tor was secure

jl777 (sprnt) [6:16 AM]
tor has almost half a millions lines of code, I have no idea all the things it is doing, so I cannot speak to it. I do know that there are specific exploits using Tor to steal crypto, so Tor should not be used for crypto.

jl777 (sprnt) [6:16 AM]
you are correct that I am talking about privacy

jl777 (sprnt) [6:16 AM]
Tor is trying to solve a much harder problem, similar to an invisibility suit

jl777 (sprnt) [6:17 AM]
they actually have these now where fiberoptics are bending the light around so it looks like you are seeing through it

jl777 (sprnt) [6:17 AM]
but there are always seams

jl777 (sprnt) [6:17 AM]
I think Tor is like that. for most uses it is fine, until its not.

jl777 (sprnt) [6:17 AM]
so I made a design choice to not even try to be invisible out in the open

jl777 (sprnt) [6:18 AM]
but by controlling the problem it is making it a much simpler task of creating a private "doorway"

jl777 (sprnt) [6:18 AM]
like what if you didnt have to use the door at all?

jl777 (sprnt) [6:18 AM]
the cryptonote tech is such a mechanism

jl777 (sprnt) [6:19 AM]
so cryptonote into the windowless building and cryptonote out

jl777 (sprnt) [6:19 AM]
now it is a way for privacy even with the entering and exiting

jl777 (sprnt) [6:19 AM]
However, keep in mind that it is impossible for 100% privacy

jl777 (sprnt) [6:20 AM]
you can always be put under physical surveillance

jl777 (sprnt) [6:20 AM]
so my goal is to make it more cost effective to use physical surveillance than automatic capture the internet, treat everybody as guilty until lawyers are paid enough money world that we have now

jl777 (sprnt) [6:21 AM]
it is against all decency for all communications to be monitored

jl777 (sprnt) [6:21 AM]
and guilt presumed without any due process

jl777 (sprnt) [6:21 AM]
and analyzed

jl777 (sprnt) [6:21 AM]
and then if you are having the money, you can break all sorts of rules without any real consequence

jl777 (sprnt) [6:22 AM]
if you dont have the money, then some harmless thing you are doing is equated to horrible crimes and maybe you are disappeared into some horrible place

jl777 (sprnt) [6:23 AM]
using the internet is a great convenience, but there is the loss of privacy

jl777 (sprnt) [6:23 AM]
so it is vital to make sure that all the steps are taken and then when it is all put together to be closely analyzed and tested

jl777 (sprnt) [6:24 AM]
this is a process, but at least we are starting to fight back against the global surveillance state that we currently have

js.galt (sprnt) [6:28 AM]
amen

jl777 (sprnt) [6:28 AM]
what was the question?

js.galt (sprnt) [6:28 AM]
its about raising reasonable doubt.

js.galt (sprnt) [6:28 AM]
haha

js.galt (sprnt) [6:29 AM]
uhm basically. is the information leak, ip correlation?

jl777 (sprnt) [6:33 AM]
yes

jl777 (sprnt) [6:33 AM]
ip <-> geolocation <-> you

jl777 (sprnt) [6:33 AM]
so if ip <-> crypto account

jl777 (sprnt) [6:33 AM]
this means crypto account <-> you

js.galt (sprnt) [6:38 AM]
ok, that works for me. Trying to picture how all of supernet works together in my mind, waw, its very complex.

Thanks for posting the slack logs Azeh!  Greatly enjoyed the commentary on DRK and it's current rise.  I have been curious about the instant TX; it's good to hear James and BTCDdev's perspective on this Smiley

144,395
I spent all of 10 minutes on the analysis and most of that was reading the BTT thread on blockchain reorgs. This is happening a lot, like waves in the ocean. that is why 3 to 6 confirms for BTC and its petahash network and 10 minute blocktimes. You start taking shortcuts and...

With the MGW work I am having to get 100% consensus on 3 different nodes. even when they are in the same data center, they are not always agreeing, certainly not with just 1 confirmation. When they are scattered around the world, then it is much worse.

So the key question is on a fast send if that can be spent right away and if it can and it is withdrawn as BTC and the blockchain reorgs, then...

I dont have answers (positive or negative), just some few questions

James

Whether it be 10 minutes or 10 hours, I appreciate the insight James!  With no coding background myself, it's always educational to hear analysis from a code-master such as yourself Smiley

We have the new multipool now running full steam so now all my pool's hash rates are combined and already showing great results and payments are flowing. This should increase and stabilize the profitability  

DRK Miners that use X11, get paid DRK above and beyond what I mention here. This is because when we find a DRK block, you instantly get allocated your DRK share and it gets paid within a few hours of a block maturing. You don't need to wait for any exchanging so you'll get more frequent DRK payments as more DRK blocks are found.

Anyone can add an additional payout addresses to get your mined coins sent to you direct, instead of exchanged. You can also choose to split your earnings between any of our payout currencies!

Any problems, please PM as I may miss your post.

Cheers!
