4 2015-11-06 08:47:17 <sturles> My Bitcoin Core did a double spend this morning!
5 2015-11-06 08:47:34 <Luke-Jr> sturles: #bitcoin
6 2015-11-06 08:47:45 <sturles> OK, but this must be a bug in Bitcoin Core.
7 2015-11-06 08:47:58 <sturles> It is not supposed to double spend by default.
8 2015-11-06 12:05:47 <jonasschnelli> What about porting the traffic shaping PR from xt to core? https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt/pull/81
9 2015-11-06 12:06:01 <jonasschnelli> I personally disagree with the concept. But seems to be accepted.
10 2015-11-06 12:10:01 <wumpus> I'd prefer to skip that
11 2015-11-06 12:10:23 <wumpus> and aim for libevent + bandwidth limiting in 0.13
12 2015-11-06 12:10:36 <wumpus> we're pretty far along with that already
13 2015-11-06 12:11:40 <jonasschnelli> i agree
14 2015-11-06 12:13:17 <wumpus> don't want to import a bag of bugs from XT last minute, we've already plenty of our own
15 2015-11-06 12:13:26 <jonasschnelli> hah. true
16 2015-11-06 12:13:57 <jonasschnelli> Esso: about the w3c payments IG. I think someone from coindesk of bitpay should attend there.
17 2015-11-06 12:28:39 <ohmannn> I have a question if anyone has the time or knowledge, if you don't mind; I made 3 transfers of bitcoins from my wallet on my pc to different locations, but all 3 of them are still unconfirmed on both the client and blockchain..These were done a while ago too, 10/25 was one and the other 2 on 10/31
18 2015-11-06 12:29:24 <jonasschnelli> ohmannn: it's a question for #bitcoin ... but what fee did you use? What wallet software?
19 2015-11-06 12:29:53 <jonasschnelli> ohmannn: and plase don't cross post on #bitcoin-dev
20 2015-11-06 13:25:34 <azariah> anyone have a good reference for that Bitcoin Core is regarded as the "truth" with regards to what is the correct Bitcoin protocol? that it has preference over other impl like btcd.
21 2015-11-06 13:27:19 <azariah> basically something more "official" than what's mentioned here: https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/test-scripts/blob/master/FullBlockTestGenerator.java#L23
22 2015-11-06 13:27:39 <wumpus> you determine your own truth by what software you run, but if you prefer to stick with the majority of nodes, following bitcoin core makes sense...
23 2015-11-06 13:27:48 <wumpus> there is nothing official
24 2015-11-06 13:28:54 <azariah> sure, just trying to find a good reference for a paper
25 2015-11-06 13:32:59 <azariah> the Bitcoin wp article references this paper from 2012: http://publications.theseus.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/47166/Skudnov_Rostislav.pdf?sequence=1
26 2015-11-06 14:01:01 <jonasschnelli> grml.. can someone unban me from #bitcoin *shame*
27 2015-11-06 14:03:13 <instagibbs> *shame*
28 2015-11-06 16:28:25 <killerstorm> hi. what's the current status of malleability attack? are countermeasures already deployed?
29 2015-11-06 16:29:46 <padxni> i think it was deployed a long time ago already
30 2015-11-06 16:34:22 <killerstorm> well the attack itself (low-s/high-s) appeared in October and countermeasures were discussed few weeks ago
31 2015-11-06 17:06:15 <guj> Hello i need some technical support with Bitcoin d/qt
32 2015-11-06 17:07:40 <guj> Is this the right place?, I downloaded the pre compiled binaries from bitcoin.com and started the cient up on an ubuntu 14 fresh install
33 2015-11-06 17:08:51 <guj> Synced fine until we reached july 2014
34 2015-11-06 17:10:10 <guj> ever since, the syncronisation has slowed, if not stalled. I have 8 connections, the bandwidth chart shows some activity for a little bit like 8-30mb and then slows down. Every time i restart the client. Downloads a few blocks and slows down again
35 2015-11-06 17:10:33 <guj> i tried a vpn to see if im blacklisted by nodes but no difference
36 2015-11-06 17:10:57 <wangchun> guj: I believe it is normal
37 2015-11-06 17:11:11 <wangchun> guj: huge spam attacks ongoing since july
38 2015-11-06 17:12:09 <guj> wangbus: very odd. Do you suggest i boot up on a higher spec device and sync, then move the block files over to this netbook/
39 2015-11-06 17:12:37 <wangchun> guj: just wait
40 2015-11-06 17:12:47 <guj> ALl i could think off, other than deleting some blk files and retrying
41 2015-11-06 17:12:55 <wangchun> guj: be patient
42 2015-11-06 17:13:47 <guj> shouldnt be this slow, it sucks the bootstrap.dat is no longer hosted with an updated version just because the devs think they have a better alternative implemented. Never had issues with it especially with a high speec connection
43 2015-11-06 17:14:41 <guj> wangchun: its delaying my work by days. and i can't afford hours with this line of work
44 2015-11-06 17:15:26 <guj> Do you now of any blockchain.dat that i can use
45 2015-11-06 17:25:12 <instagibbs> maybe try #bitcoin ?
46 2015-11-06 17:35:25 <gmaxwell> guj: boostrap.dat makes the syncup considerably slower for almost everyone.
47 2015-11-06 17:36:15 <gmaxwell> guj: blocks are larger than they used to be on average, and the utxo set is much larger-- it simply has a lot more work to do.
48 2015-11-06 17:37:49 <gmaxwell> guj: if you have a large amount of ram, increasing the dbcache setting will make it much faster, but thats about all you can do. The restarting is only slowing you down, by stopping any of the blocks in flight.
49 2015-11-06 17:38:08 <gmaxwell> If you're syncing on a netbook-- well thats just going to be slow.
50 2015-11-06 19:42:16 <Mad7Scientist> How much hard drive space does bitcoin need now?
51 2015-11-06 19:57:50 <Luke-Jr> Mad7Scientist: somewhere around 70 GB
