1 2017-10-10 01:12:14 <buhrmi> hey guys .. when I run `bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=buhrmi getbalance` why does it return a correct result even I'm not passing the -rpcpassword parameter?
 2 2017-10-10 02:43:50 <molz> buhrmi, did you run your wallet with '-server' ?
 3 2017-10-10 02:45:01 <buhrmi> molz: just `bitcoind --daemon`
 4 2017-10-10 02:49:53 <molz> buhrmi, do you have a .cookie file in your bitcoin folder?
 5 2017-10-10 02:53:34 <buhrmi> molz: not that i know of ... don't see anything in ~ or ~/.bitcoin
 6 2017-10-10 03:05:17 <molz> buhrmi, did you do "getbalance" on the bitcoin-qt console?
 7 2017-10-10 03:05:50 <buhrmi> molz: no i don't have bitcoin-qt installed. it's running on a server
 8 2017-10-10 03:05:58 <molz> oh wait you said bitcoin-cli so i guess you did it on the commandline
 9 2017-10-10 03:06:05 <buhrmi> yeah
10 2017-10-10 03:06:15 <molz> strange, it doesn't work for me like that on the commandline, but it works on the console
11 2017-10-10 09:16:15 <maret> Hello I am trying to find out how many transaction would ligthing network handle. In the whitepaper they mention billions of transactions which seems like too high and theoretical number.
12 2017-10-10 09:27:16 <Sentineo> it scales exponentialy, so it can be real, based on channel numbers
13 2017-10-10 10:34:05 <maret> Sentineo: i see and whare are expectations?
14 2017-10-10 16:06:33 <grubles> bitcoind(13679) in malloc(): bogus pointer (double free?) 0xdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdf
15 2017-10-10 16:06:49 <grubles> looks like bitcoind crashes on openbsd 6.2
16 2017-10-10 16:08:11 <grubles> cloned from github (0.15.99)
17 2017-10-10 17:23:16 <esotericnonsense> maret if you're still around under some other nick there was a slide deck that calculated it based on reasonable expectations of numbers of channel opens/closes
18 2017-10-10 17:23:50 <esotericnonsense> i believe the estimate was 10-20 million users assuming 50% of tx are LN opens/closes at current block weight/size caps
19 2017-10-10 17:24:33 <esotericnonsense> those users could transact as often as they wanted (counting TX is not that useful, within an LN channel i don't see how there is a cap at all unless there's some sequence number or something)
20 2017-10-10 17:24:50 <esotericnonsense> e.g. i could open a channel with someone and do ten billion tx with just that person, np
21 2017-10-10 17:30:36 <arubi> I think an absolute cap might be something like using up all the shachain tree
22 2017-10-10 17:30:48 <arubi> but I haven't looked at LN docs in a while unfortunately
23 2017-10-10 17:31:46 <arubi> but that's a huge number anyway
24 2017-10-10 17:34:06 <arubi> yea 2^48-1 secret preimages can be generated from one seed, I don't think you'll be using those up.  lots of fees :)
25 2017-10-10 17:41:46 <esotericnonsense> yeah, i figured there'd be something like that
26 2017-10-10 17:41:54 <esotericnonsense> but an absurd number that is not really relevant, :p
27 2017-10-10 17:49:20 <arubi> hehe yea, 10 billion are still a go
28 2017-10-10 20:31:16 <parco> any talks of some sort of 'official' auxiliary blockchain, that can be used alongside bitcoins, meant to store 'custom' data?
29 2017-10-10 23:24:58 <luke-jr> parco: OpenTimestamps?
