1 2015-05-25 00:51:12 <hulkhogan_> tried asking in #bitcoin but i'm curious, are there any planned optimizations for block verification? parsing on a low-power arm device this weekend i realized how painfully impossible it is to get a full node running on something like a smartphone, so i'm curious, there
2 2015-05-25 01:00:17 <gmaxwell> hulkhogan_: I didn't see your question in #bitcoin, I'll answer there.
3 2015-05-25 03:25:34 <phantomcircuit> 0.10.0 binaries are all 32bit
4 2015-05-25 03:25:42 <phantomcircuit> why?
5 2015-05-25 03:27:12 <gmaxwell> wut?
6 2015-05-25 03:27:32 <gmaxwell> check the gitian signatures, do they match?
7 2015-05-25 03:28:17 <phantomcircuit> gmaxwell, yeah they do
8 2015-05-25 03:30:34 <phantomcircuit> oh wrong tarball
9 2015-05-25 03:30:35 <phantomcircuit> derp
10 2015-05-25 03:35:42 <Balrod`> Anyone here able to help a newb get his os ready for compiling wallets?
11 2015-05-25 03:35:56 <Balrod`> when installing openssl i do the ./config and then make and get gcc: command not found.
12 2015-05-25 05:29:18 <Balrod`> gatta reboot, brb.
13 2015-05-25 06:32:30 <satwo> hello all. if i am running two instances of bitcoind in regtest mode, one in a VM and the other on my host machine, how can i connect them on a local network? or is it even possible?
14 2015-05-25 07:49:50 <brand0> satwo: you need to setup the bitcoin.conf connect settings correctly
15 2015-05-25 07:50:08 <brand0> take a look at these configs: https://github.com/freewil/bitcoin-testnet-box
16 2015-05-25 07:51:19 <satwo> thank you brand0
17 2015-05-25 07:55:33 <brand0> 4 show
18 2015-05-25 14:48:31 <lclc_> Can anyone confirm that Bitcoin-Qt ignores the strDataDir setting in Bitcoin-Qt-testnet.conf file even when it's started with -testnet? It always uses the strDataDir settings from Bitcoin-Qt.conf
19 2015-05-25 16:26:50 <Tugood> HI, anyone using electrum client in linux here?
20 2015-05-25 16:33:00 <Tugood> Hello, can anyone suggest a good lighweight bitcoin client for linux??
21 2015-05-25 16:33:40 <Tugood> Something that runs from the commandline
22 2015-05-25 16:33:47 <hearn> no gui at all?
23 2015-05-25 16:34:00 <Tugood> hearn: No. No X11
24 2015-05-25 16:34:11 <hearn> multibit hd is lightweight. or indeed electrum.
25 2015-05-25 16:35:37 <Tugood> hearn: multibit hd is a gui, correct? I already tried electrum, but I got problems. The "UI" is broken.
26 2015-05-25 16:36:02 <hearn> yes multibit hd is a gui wallet: https://beta.multibit.org/
27 2015-05-25 16:36:24 <Tugood> hearn: yes as previously stated I need a command line only client
28 2015-05-25 16:36:35 <lclc_> Tugood: maybe bx (/ libbitcoin explorer, former sx): https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-explorer
29 2015-05-25 16:37:09 <hearn> oh sorry, you said "no x11"
30 2015-05-25 16:37:13 <hearn> i misread
31 2015-05-25 16:37:41 <hearn> there is a program called wallet-tool in the bitcoinj distribution that creates a local SPV wallet and lets you send/receive stuff. it's more meant for developers than users, but you could use that too.
32 2015-05-25 16:38:13 <hearn> also check this thread
33 2015-05-25 16:38:13 <hearn> https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/34m8de/any_command_line_lightweight_bitcoin_wallet/
34 2015-05-25 16:40:01 <hearn> Tugood: do you want this for scripting purposes, or because you want the actual wallet to be on a remote server
35 2015-05-25 16:40:03 <hearn> (if so - why??)
36 2015-05-25 16:41:01 <lclc_> Tugood: or this: https://github.com/bit-c/bitc
37 2015-05-25 16:41:08 <lclc_> but I wouldn't put money in
38 2015-05-25 16:43:37 <zooko> This reminds me how Coinscope revealed that a substantial number of the important nodes/miners were on EC2 or Linode.
39 2015-05-25 16:54:56 <Tugood> lclc_: hearn Thanks for the suggestion. Actually Im looking at wallet-tool now, since Im using bitcoinj anyway. BitcoinJ is very good. Congratulatins hearn :D
40 2015-05-25 17:05:19 <hearn> Tugood: oh, thanks! if you want to make wallet-tool better please do, I only really maintain it enough to keep it working and add new command line ui to new features sometimes
41 2015-05-25 17:05:25 <hearn> Tugood: I haven't tried to turn it into a "real" wallet.
42 2015-05-25 17:05:54 <hearn> Tugood: if you want an ncurses UI there is a jvm library to do that. i think someone was experimenting with building such a wallet at some point
43 2015-05-25 17:13:45 <Diablo-D3> hi
44 2015-05-25 17:13:52 <Diablo-D3> there is an ncurses java lib
45 2015-05-25 17:13:54 <Diablo-D3> several actually
46 2015-05-25 17:13:59 <Diablo-D3> they are all very horri
47 2015-05-25 17:17:02 <hearn> i haven't used them so cannot comment. i doubt api ncurses based api will ever be beautiful
48 2015-05-25 17:17:09 <hearn> perhaps all you need is a REPL-style command line
49 2015-05-25 17:17:17 <hearn> rather than a windowed ui interface made of characters
50 2015-05-25 17:19:48 <Diablo-D3> remember, I wrote that bitcoin miner in java
51 2015-05-25 17:19:52 <Diablo-D3> I wanted to use ncurses.
52 2015-05-25 17:19:54 <Diablo-D3> noppppeeeeee.
53 2015-05-25 17:22:35 <hearn> yeah. it's probably easier to use the jre's embedded web server
54 2015-05-25 17:22:42 <hearn> rather than try to do a ui directly on the command line
55 2015-05-25 17:32:32 <Diablo-D3> hearn: that I didnt do either
56 2015-05-25 17:32:39 <Diablo-D3> AND the jre desnt have an embedded webserver
57 2015-05-25 17:33:02 <Diablo-D3> you'd have to drag something like grizzly in for a dep
58 2015-05-25 17:33:16 <hearn> yes it does
59 2015-05-25 17:33:29 <hearn> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/jre/api/net/httpserver/spec/com/sun/net/httpserver/HttpServer.html
60 2015-05-25 17:33:42 <hearn> it's quite nice actually. nothing fancy but good enough for embedded dashboards and the like.
61 2015-05-25 17:33:59 <Diablo-D3> ahh, java6 added it
62 2015-05-25 17:34:54 <Diablo-D3> still, go use grizzly instead
63 2015-05-25 17:35:05 <hearn> yeah. in 2006 :-)
64 2015-05-25 17:35:28 <hearn> interesting. i haven't seen grizzly
65 2015-05-25 17:35:33 <hearn> any reason to use it over something like jetty?
66 2015-05-25 17:37:05 <Diablo-D3> eh, kinda sorta
67 2015-05-25 17:37:16 <Diablo-D3> grizzly is the httpd behind sun/oracle application server
68 2015-05-25 17:37:27 <Diablo-D3> your only other choice is basically jetty
69 2015-05-25 17:37:44 <Diablo-D3> they both do shit basically the same way using NIO2
70 2015-05-25 17:38:38 <hearn> right
71 2015-05-25 17:39:21 <Diablo-D3> grizzly was easier to deal with, so thats what I was using on whatever project it was I was doing that needed an httpd
72 2015-05-25 17:39:36 <Diablo-D3> grizzly + jersey == absolutely fucking magical json rest
73 2015-05-25 17:39:59 <hearn> ok. i might switch the lighthouse server to either jetty or grizzly. at the moment it's using the built in http server but it's outgrowing it a little
74 2015-05-25 22:35:36 <joshpaul> any devs here with experience porting Insight explorer to alts?
