1 2012-02-19 02:13:38 <theymos> Gavin just sent the first-ever alert. :)
 2 2012-02-19 02:15:08 <gmaxwell> "errors" : "See bitcoin.org/feb20 if you have trouble connecting after 20 February"
 3 2012-02-19 02:15:12 <gmaxwell> Indeed.
 4 2012-02-19 02:16:56 <gmaxwell> I see it even on my 0.3.19 node.
 5 2012-02-19 02:16:59 <gmaxwell> Good.
 6 2012-02-19 02:17:16 <gmaxwell> I'm surprised to not see people commenting about it on irc.
 7 2012-02-19 02:17:23 <theymos> I see it on 0.3.15, though the last half of the message is cut off.
 8 2012-02-19 02:17:35 <theymos> (In the GUI).
 9 2012-02-19 02:17:50 <gmaxwell> where does it cut off?
10 2012-02-19 02:18:12 <theymos> if you have trouble connecting after...
11 2012-02-19 02:18:24 <gmaxwell> okay. Thats not too terrible.
12 2012-02-19 02:18:29 <theymos> Probably enough there in case of trouble, though more likely to cause panic.
13 2012-02-19 02:19:17 <mcorlett> theymos: When was Gavin's key added?
14 2012-02-19 02:19:30 <theymos> Satoshi's private key is shared.
15 2012-02-19 02:20:21 <mcorlett> theymos: That's good. So it should display on every single version since the one in which the alert system was added, right?
16 2012-02-19 02:20:34 <theymos> Yes.
17 2012-02-19 02:20:36 <theymos> Is it OK for nRelayUntil to be only 15 minutes? Won't this prevent most people from seeing it?
18 2012-02-19 02:21:11 <mcorlett> Here he is!
19 2012-02-19 02:21:23 <theymos> gavinandresen: Is it OK for for nRelayUntil to be only 15 minutes? Won't a lot of clients not see it? (2-day expiration also seems low.)
20 2012-02-19 02:21:25 <gavinandresen> who, me?
21 2012-02-19 02:22:56 <luke-jr> FWIW, some people are confusing Feb20 changes with the planned height-in-coinbase changes&
22 2012-02-19 02:23:44 <gavinandresen> 15 minute relay:  If that's too short (newly connecting nodes get alerts from their peers, if I recall correctly) then I can re-issue.
23 2012-02-19 02:23:52 <luke-jr> "The developers of the Bitcoin reference software are unable to find any evidence of any nodes still running software prior to 0.2.10 on the network." <-- didn't sipa report finding at least one?
24 2012-02-19 02:24:15 <luke-jr> "This switchover has been tested and no significant disruption is expected." <-- that NAT issue could be considered significant&
25 2012-02-19 02:24:34 <gavinandresen> theymos: I could re-send a higher priority alert for older versions with a shorter message (if you have a suggestion for one that will fit)
26 2012-02-19 02:24:51 <gmaxwell> luke-jr: We don't expect it to impact many users, at least not based on what we know right now.
27 2012-02-19 02:25:00 <theymos> gavinandresen: I thought alerts stopped being passed around at all after RelayUntil.
28 2012-02-19 02:25:11 <gmaxwell> luke-jr: trying to balance length (and attention span) vs detail there.
29 2012-02-19 02:25:25 <luke-jr> gmaxwell: dunno, 0.1% seems like many among a large userbase
30 2012-02-19 02:25:59 <theymos> gavinandresen: Maybe "If Bitcoin stops working see bitcoin.org/feb20".
31 2012-02-19 02:26:26 <theymos> Actually, that's not really better than the fragment already there.
