1 2017-03-28 19:59:36 <JackH> something is really wrong on testnet
 2 2017-03-28 19:59:43 <arubi> again?
 3 2017-03-28 20:00:55 <JackH> I got 200 conf for a tx 10 min ago, and now I see 160 confs?
 4 2017-03-28 20:00:57 <arubi> oh hehe, blocks incoming
 5 2017-03-28 20:01:05 <arubi> yea, this happens
 6 2017-03-28 20:01:10 <JackH> no wait, 217 now, wtf
 7 2017-03-28 20:01:27 <arubi> lots of blocks, probably lots of chains :)
 8 2017-03-28 20:01:39 <JackH> hmm?
 9 2017-03-28 20:01:50 <arubi> haha `bitcoin-cli -testnet getchaintips`
10 2017-03-28 20:01:53 <arubi> see what I mean
11 2017-03-28 20:02:35 <JackH> wtf
12 2017-03-28 20:02:37 <JackH> this is all a mess
13 2017-03-28 20:03:31 <arubi> it'll calm down eventually, hopefully :)
14 2017-03-28 20:03:31 <JackH> its messing my testing up
15 2017-03-28 20:03:48 <JackH> I am trying to connect to this dude: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1844814.0
16 2017-03-28 20:03:53 <JackH> but this doesnt make it easier :(
17 2017-03-28 20:04:22 <arubi> ah yes, that probably breaks channels
18 2017-03-28 20:06:08 <JackH> the current channel I am trying to setup is not confirmed yet
19 2017-03-28 20:06:17 <JackH> it only needs 6 conf...
20 2017-03-28 20:06:22 <JackH> wow this is not a good place to test
21 2017-03-28 20:06:30 <JackH> is testnet under attack?
22 2017-03-28 20:07:28 <arubi> not sure if it's an attack, just annoying
23 2017-03-28 20:07:59 <JackH> do we have any other segwit chain enabled?
24 2017-03-28 20:08:20 <arubi> well if you want to connect to that guy you can't use another chain
25 2017-03-28 20:08:30 <arubi> if you can set up the two nodes yourself, you can use regtest locally
26 2017-03-28 20:08:34 <JackH> no but we can probably agree on something else
27 2017-03-28 20:08:38 <JackH> I have tried that, works fine
28 2017-03-28 20:08:44 <JackH> but want some more action between real peers
29 2017-03-28 20:08:57 <JackH> its boring sending to myself
30 2017-03-28 20:09:00 <arubi> maybe #lnd knows something?
31 2017-03-28 20:09:11 <JackH> they are not BOLT compatible yet
32 2017-03-28 20:09:15 <arubi> ah
33 2017-03-28 20:09:18 <JackH> this is the only client that is ready
34 2017-03-28 20:09:47 <arubi> maybe on litecoin testnet? :)  not sure
35 2017-03-28 20:32:44 <JackH> hmm maybe
36 2017-03-28 20:34:17 <ProfMac_> arubi, you could set up a quarantined node in a virtual machine that connects to a clone of itself, and also to your test partner.
37 2017-03-28 20:37:30 <JackH> but thats not fun
38 2017-03-28 20:37:39 <arubi> heh, not bad.  could probably connect with someone over a regtest chain to make mining easy too.  mostly I connect all regtest nodes locally but one lives in a docker and almost acts like that
39 2017-03-28 20:37:40 <JackH> we need a public chain
40 2017-03-28 20:38:03 <CocoBTC> Regarding https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7734  Do we have a Tor icon? Do we use any particular icon set?
41 2017-03-28 20:41:03 <arubi> needs someone who uses the gui to tell.. :o
42 2017-03-28 20:43:42 <CocoBTC> The link is a feature request. There's a limited set of icons src/res/icons, with no reference on where they come from. I guess I can start working on the issue anyway.
43 2017-03-28 20:54:07 <ProfMac_> Oh, I'm tired of Googling and reading at the moment.  Is there a curl command-line that can tell me that my test stratum server is reachable and alive?
44 2017-03-28 22:17:15 <adiabat> sipa: Hey, if you're around I have a question about the bech32 checksums
45 2017-03-28 22:17:58 <adiabat> the code in the BIP is basically the python code, which I can read but I'm unclear on some of the data types
46 2017-03-28 22:19:01 <adiabat> basically what's the bit-length of "chk"... 32 bits, right?
47 2017-03-28 23:15:18 <stevenroose> Did testnet have a big reorg recently?
