  5 2014-06-28 00:02:29 <phantomcircuit> AndersAA, any idea what the packet data actually is?
  6 2014-06-28 00:02:39 <phantomcircuit> wait
  7 2014-06-28 00:02:44 <phantomcircuit> is that the bits of proof things?
  8 2014-06-28 00:03:07 <AndersAA> phantomcircuit: unlikely.
  9 2014-06-28 00:03:36 <dsnrk> phantomcircuit: < dsnrk> ugh, I don't know. he has written his own full node which he is selling to people to use behind web wallets and exchanges and things. I tried to talk him out of letting it talk with the real network, but that seems to have failed badly.
 10 2014-06-28 00:04:12 <dsnrk> it's a guy named Canuck24. wrote a full node to avoid having to run 32 altcoin daemons.
 11 2014-06-28 00:04:20 <phantomcircuit> ohhh
 12 2014-06-28 00:04:26 <phantomcircuit> well
 13 2014-06-28 00:04:34 <phantomcircuit> if you did that right it would be valuable
 14 2014-06-28 00:04:39 <dsnrk> it sucks though. it's somehow a full node without executing scripts.
 15 2014-06-28 00:04:41 <phantomcircuit> but you'd still have to run the daemons
 16 2014-06-28 00:05:04 <phantomcircuit> sounds like he did it lol wrong

 26 2014-06-28 00:13:22 <justanotheruser> AndersAA: ?
 27 2014-06-28 00:13:56 <AndersAA> justanotheruser: Totally OT. Just about the tanks typo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_Earth_(video_game)
 28 2014-06-28 00:14:36 <justanotheruser> oh, I thought you were talking about scorched earth transactions
 29 2014-06-28 00:16:07 <dsnrk> same.
 30 2014-06-28 00:20:52 <dgenr8> petertodd just got a notification on his phone (scorched earth)
 31 2014-06-28 00:24:15 <justanotheruser> dgenr8: more likely because you just highlighted him
 32 2014-06-28 00:31:14 <justanotheruser> But if he does come by, I would like to see his writeup on appcoins
 33 2014-06-28 01:01:30 <AndersAA> Been logging packets from the "annoying node" a while now and of course it's not connecting anymore. Would really like to see what the heck was going on..
 34 2014-06-28 01:03:02 <dsnrk> from what I understand, the ping message is meant to have a nonce for the peer to return in the pong
 35 2014-06-28 01:03:23 <dsnrk> https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0031.mediawiki
 36 2014-06-28 01:03:46 <sipa> after a particular version number, yes
 37 2014-06-28 01:05:23 <AndersAA> It identifies as 70002 but no subver string.
 38 2014-06-28 01:06:18 <dsnrk> subver is just for humans I think, could be anything
 39 2014-06-28 01:11:55 <AndersAA> Could this part of the spec have been misunderstood? "If the client chooses to never overlap pings in this way it should simply set the nonce value to zero." If you think this issue is OT, let me know.
 40 2014-06-28 01:12:34 <dsnrk> from talking to the person who made the client they didn't realise the ping needed to have a nonce at all
 41 2014-06-28 01:13:18 <SomeoneWeird> lol
 42 2014-06-28 01:14:15 <AndersAA> SomeoneWeird: +1
 43 2014-06-28 01:22:11 <kazcw> AndersAA: what do pings have to do with it? the debug message you posted says it's a tx message. so it's not even that they didn't understand the spec, 1-byte tx messages mean the implementation isn't doing what its writer thinks it is
 44 2014-06-28 01:25:02 <AndersAA> kazcw: Good point. Thanks for clearing that up. I must be tired -- I'll keep logging packets and see if anything turns up.
 45 2014-06-28 03:25:32 <warren> The second parameter of listsinceblock doesn't seem to actually work.
 46 2014-06-28 03:25:40 <warren> Docs say it is supposed to limit the output transactions with that number of confirmations or more.
 47 2014-06-28 03:25:44 <warren> It shows all including zero conf.
 48 2014-06-28 10:18:51 <AndersAA> dsnrk: Taking a look at the captured packets in wireshark it looks like junk data, junk commands with a tx thrown in. No idea what's really going on. No pings, just malformed tx with no payload.
 49 2014-06-28 10:21:56 <dsnrk> AndersAA: another user and I jumped on the message as being a ping because I'd had issues with a user sending dodgy stuff to me in the past. could very well be the same person doing something different badly or just a coincidence.
 50 2014-06-28 10:31:31 <AndersAA> Could be. My packet analysis skills aren't really up there but compared to normal protocol packets it just looks like nonsense and besides a malformed version message nothing really makes sense. Shouldn't bitcoind just drop these complete nonsense nodes sending invalid commands?
 51 2014-06-28 10:33:10 <sipa> unknown commands are ignored
 52 2014-06-28 10:33:14 <sipa> easy uogradability
 53 2014-06-28 10:34:48 <AndersAA> example: \022\317\334\001\371\276\264\331tx for a command name. And I suppose it's not really ignored when it's flooding debug.log
 54 2014-06-28 10:34:53 <GAit> what is the alternative? having clients knowing what commands a certain versions knows and avoid asking things they don't otherwise they get cut off and even banned?
 55 2014-06-28 10:37:10 <AndersAA> GAit: No, ignoring should be fine. Except it's not ignoring this.
 56 2014-06-28 10:38:25 <AndersAA> It's probably just Skynet trying to figure out how to talk to Bitcoin...
 57 2014-06-28 10:40:37 <dsnrk> sipa: your graphs are a little broken again, I don't think we had 45% growth in a week.

 69 2014-06-28 12:19:16 <sipa> does it hurt you?
 70 2014-06-28 12:20:11 <Happzz> it doesn't help its launch times
 71 2014-06-28 12:20:15 <sipa> since 0.8 the blockchain files are preallocated in batches to prevent some fragmentation already
 72 2014-06-28 12:20:40 <buZz> Happzz: make a ramdrive and put the blockchain in there if you want to minimize startup time
 73 2014-06-28 12:21:25 <sipa> just decrease the selftest at startup (-checkblocks=N) with N a number of blocks
 74 2014-06-28 12:21:45 <sipa> 0 will make it check all blocks though
 75 2014-06-28 12:22:10 <Happzz> according to the debug log, it checks 288 now. what would be a much lower yet "safe" alternative?
 76 2014-06-28 12:22:27 <Happzz> the minimum you consider safe
 77 2014-06-28 12:23:00 <sipa> if you know yourbhardware works fine, and you didn't crash at previous shutdown, anythih
 78 2014-06-28 12:23:06 <sipa> sorry for typing
 79 2014-06-28 12:23:55 <Happzz> so -checkblocks=1 is considered safe?
 80 2014-06-28 12:24:33 <btc123> hey guys
 81 2014-06-28 12:25:08 <btc123> how can i convert a ecc key genereated with openssl into hex format that begins with 04?
 82 2014-06-28 12:26:19 <btc123> the output of openssl ecparam -genkey -name secp256k1 isn't right format
 83 2014-06-28 12:29:30 <btc123> gives pem file
 84 2014-06-28 12:30:46 <sipa> Happzz: if you consider that safe
 85 2014-06-28 12:31:11 <sipa> it exists to prevent you from accidentally running with an incorrect state, unknowingly, and being forked off afterwards because of it
 86 2014-06-28 12:32:35 <Happzz> sipa hence my question, what's the minimum YOU consider safe enough to use
 87 2014-06-28 12:38:55 <arubi> btc123, ` openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout | openssl ec -pubout -text `
 88 2014-06-28 12:40:39 <sipa> that throws away the private key though :)
 89 2014-06-28 12:41:06 <arubi> this one is prettier (with private key) : openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout | openssl ec -pubout -text -noout
 90 2014-06-28 12:46:26 <btc123> arubi, you're awesome. spent 2 hrs trying to figure this out
 91 2014-06-28 12:46:29 <btc123> thanks so much
 92 2014-06-28 12:47:21 <sipa> arubi: any idea how to get a compressed pubkey out of it?
 93 2014-06-28 12:48:09 <sipa> it's easy enough to do yourself (drop the last 32 bytes of the pubkey, and turn the 04 into a 02 if the last (dropped) byte was even, 03 if it was odd)
 94 2014-06-28 12:48:30 <arubi> add -conv_form compressed to the end of the command
 95 2014-06-28 12:48:35 <arubi> "-conv_form compressed"
 96 2014-06-28 12:48:38 <sipa> cool
 97 2014-06-28 12:49:22 <arubi> yep, I implemented the entire privkey -> address process in bash so I've read a lot of man pages :)

107 2014-06-28 13:00:59 <arubi> I used bc :P
108 2014-06-28 13:01:21 <Luke-Jr> arubi: not sure bc counts as "without external dependencies"
109 2014-06-28 13:01:52 <arubi> bc is not default..?
110 2014-06-28 13:02:02 <Luke-Jr> define default

112 2014-06-28 13:02:24 <sipa> "any modern gnu" is pretty vague, but does it matter?

144 2014-06-28 14:04:50 <sipa> i suppose it's a typo or some unnecessarily cooy pasted byte
145 2014-06-28 14:05:23 <btc123> yeah, looks like it

153 2014-06-28 16:07:33 <jtimon> why some times nTime is unsigned int and others is int64_t ?
154 2014-06-28 16:07:54 <jtimon> when does it need to be int64_t ?
155 2014-06-28 16:11:11 <jtimon> for example, in  ClientModel::getLastBlockDate(), both types are used like if the type didn't mattered
156 2014-06-28 16:38:00 <sipa> jtimon: generally, it is a 64-bit type everywhere, except in CBlockHeader (and CTransaction's nLockTime) because of historic reasons
157 2014-06-28 16:38:18 <sipa> which will need some hack when the field overflows
158 2014-06-28 16:38:49 <jtimon> ok, so 64-bit is preferred
159 2014-06-28 16:38:56 <sipa> yes
160 2014-06-28 20:50:05 <ProfMac> while following the code for handling new blocks, I found something sort of like GetPutInventory ( "inv" ...other stuff) and I can't seem to locate it again searching on github.
