1 2016-12-27 00:25:11 <rgenito> is this the proper way to get the latest "trusted block" from the network? i do "getblockcount" (which is 445258), then "getblockhash 445258" (which returns the block hash "000000000000000001b07a393e970f82fab5a170d47e855e755282a58a42c0de"), then "getblock 000000000000000001b07a393e970f82fab5a170d47e855e755282a58a42c0de"....
 2 2016-12-27 00:25:47 <rgenito> it looks fine to me; however, when i inspect the block on blockchain.info, it suggested the block as being Orphaned: https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000001b07a393e970f82fab5a170d47e855e755282a58a42c0de
 3 2016-12-27 00:26:02 <rgenito> now, i don't trust blockchain.info's reliability... what do you all think? what's your experience with this?
 4 2016-12-27 00:27:40 <rgenito> where is the awesome spinza or ryan-c when ya need em ;(
 5 2016-12-27 20:40:29 <rgenito_> "16: mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed (Operation not valid with the current stack size) "
 6 2016-12-27 20:40:42 <rgenito_> what is "current stack size" again? does this mean that the fee given to the network should be higher?
 7 2016-12-27 20:41:24 <arubi> it means script verification failed for some opcode's input
 8 2016-12-27 20:42:09 <arubi> basically input script verification failed
 9 2016-12-27 20:42:43 <arubi> rgenito_, are you signing segwit transactions?
10 2016-12-27 20:43:02 <rgenito_> arubi: ah wait... maybe i was attempting to send an unsigned transaction? let me check that
11 2016-12-27 20:43:23 <rgenito_> arubi: nope, i don't believe i'm sending segwit transactions. i'm using our software to sendrawtransaction for transactions build from pycoin 0.7
12 2016-12-27 20:43:32 <arubi> you could still send unsigned transactions if there aren't any executed op_checksigs :P
13 2016-12-27 20:43:43 <rgenito_> yes, i know that. there'd be a problem broadcasting it tho lol
14 2016-12-27 20:44:11 <rgenito_> ah i see
15 2016-12-27 20:44:15 <rgenito_> i *AM* sending unsigneds -.-
16 2016-12-27 20:44:20 <arubi> phew!
17 2016-12-27 20:44:38 <arubi> would be much worse if you were "trying to spend cold storage"
18 2016-12-27 20:44:48 <rgenito_> ........i am trying to spend cold storage :( lol
19 2016-12-27 20:45:11 <arubi> oh haha, but at least there's still a chance that the script isn't completely botched :)
20 2016-12-27 20:45:14 <rgenito_> but it's not transactions / blocks that have been unspent for like years. it's like... a few days unspent at worst
21 2016-12-27 20:45:21 <rgenito_> whoa whoa
22 2016-12-27 20:45:23 <rgenito_> botched scripts? @.@
23 2016-12-27 20:45:35 <rgenito_> meaning... i better redeem my casascius coins ASAP?
24 2016-12-27 20:45:36 <arubi> or good script, and botched inputs
25 2016-12-27 20:45:39 <arubi> no no
26 2016-12-27 20:45:43 <arubi> not at all what I mean
27 2016-12-27 20:45:58 <rgenito_> my bad :) you've been so helpful already btw, ty.
28 2016-12-27 20:46:03 <rgenito_> i appreciate your friendly nature :D
29 2016-12-27 20:46:40 <arubi> I mean if you use your own software to redeem and send coins, then scripts might be botched in their scriptpubkey, or their inputs.   cheers rgenito_, welcome
30 2016-12-27 20:47:40 <arubi> what would be scare is having a signed transaction for a bad input script, having an unsigned transaction is manageable :)
31 2016-12-27 20:47:47 <arubi> s/scary
32 2016-12-27 22:41:45 <cluelessperson> Hey guys, I'm sorry to ask stupid questions, but I'd like to learn to make an SPV client
33 2016-12-27 22:41:50 <cluelessperson> I was hoping you could point me in a good direction
34 2016-12-27 22:46:01 <moli> cluelessperson,  jonasschnelli  is working on a wallet like that, you should help him
35 2016-12-27 22:46:19 <cluelessperson> moli, I'm working in Python.
36 2016-12-27 22:46:34 <cluelessperson> is he?  I'm not much help elsewhere, apart from design and graphics
37 2016-12-27 22:46:38 <moli> oh ask him to help you anyway
38 2016-12-27 22:46:41 <cluelessperson> jonasschnelli, hi there. :)
39 2016-12-27 22:53:19 <moli> cluelessperson, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9076
40 2016-12-27 22:54:12 <moli> i guess it needs rebase
41 2016-12-27 22:54:26 <cluelessperson> moli, I like you. :)
42 2016-12-27 22:54:43 <moli> haha thanks, i like you too!  :)
43 2016-12-27 22:55:06 <cluelessperson> moli, As in, you're not full of shit, (like I am), and you're pretty active in the communities around here. :)
44 2016-12-27 22:55:46 <moli> you are not full of shit, silly :P  you're cooler than me, you're running electrum server which i couldn't figure out lol
45 2016-12-27 22:56:02 <cluelessperson> moli, What?  You can totally do that
46 2016-12-27 22:56:07 <cluelessperson> moli, what was the trouble?
47 2016-12-27 22:56:16 <moli> well i guess i didn't spend much time on it
48 2016-12-27 22:56:23 <cluelessperson> moli, I can make it easy for you
49 2016-12-27 22:56:26 <moli> but i've been doing other things alos
50 2016-12-27 22:56:29 <moli> also*
51 2016-12-27 22:56:31 <cluelessperson> Are you already running a bitcoin node?
52 2016-12-27 22:56:34 <cluelessperson> that's indexed?
53 2016-12-27 22:56:43 <moli> i've been running a reachable node, yes
54 2016-12-27 22:57:05 <cluelessperson> moli,   I've been running "electrumx_server" lately,  it syncs in about 6 hours, rather than a week
55 2016-12-27 22:57:11 <moli> and last few days i've been testing NTumblebit
56 2016-12-27 22:57:21 <moli> wow really
57 2016-12-27 22:57:38 <cluelessperson> moli, Well, it  uses a bitcoin node still, but yes
58 2016-12-27 22:57:54 <moli> cluelessperson, i think SPV wallets are cool for newbies but we need more fullnodes too
59 2016-12-27 22:58:08 <cluelessperson> moli,   BitcoinNode + Electrumx Server + Electrum Mobile SPV wallets =>  Trustworthy mobile wallets.
60 2016-12-27 22:58:18 <moli> very cool
