1 2017-11-18 10:57:51 <txter> Anyone here use CLion?
 2 2017-11-18 11:34:08 <txter> Anyone here added libbitcoin to a cmake file in Clion?
 3 2017-11-18 13:51:05 <hkjn0> what's the best way to monitor requests to JSON-RPC?
 4 2017-11-18 13:51:49 <hkjn0> I have a SPV client (Samourai wallet) connecting to my node, and I'd like to better understand what requests the client is sending my node
 5 2017-11-18 13:52:12 <hkjn0> (as well as monitor any failed requests)
 6 2017-11-18 14:49:45 <cluelessperson> could someone potentially help me understand the rationale behind segwit's design?
 7 2017-11-18 14:50:19 <cluelessperson> hkjn0: bitcoin core's bitcoin.conf has a debug feature
 8 2017-11-18 14:50:35 <cluelessperson> hkjn0: you can set,  debug=<module> or something
 9 2017-11-18 14:51:08 <arubi> cluelessperson, what about its design?  which part are you asking about?
10 2017-11-18 14:51:38 <cluelessperson> arubi: I'm not against the idea of offchain scaling, but I feel SegWit is... hacky
11 2017-11-18 14:51:58 <arubi> how so?
12 2017-11-18 14:52:12 <cluelessperson> hkjn0: -debug=<category>
13 2017-11-18 14:52:27 <cluelessperson> hkjn0: Output debugging information (default: 0, supplying <category> is optional). If <category> is not supplied or if <category> = 1, output all debugging information.<category> can be: addrman, alert, bench, cmpctblock, coindb, db, http, libevent, lock, mempool, mempoolrej, net, proxy, prune, rand, reindex, rpc, selectcoins, tor, zmq, qt.
14 2017-11-18 14:52:51 <cluelessperson> hkjn0: So!   add,   debug=rpc   in your bitcoin.conf
15 2017-11-18 14:53:24 <cluelessperson> arubi: Well for one thing, the idea of "block weight" and "transaction weight" is really confusing at first.
16 2017-11-18 14:55:52 <arubi> I agree it's confusing at first, but it does make sense to price bytes differently in a transaction if you want to make consolidating utxos as easy as breaking a single utxo
17 2017-11-18 14:56:34 <cluelessperson> arubi: well, so I read that you add up the bytes..
18 2017-11-18 14:57:13 <cluelessperson> (Transaction Data - Witness) + Witness/4
19 2017-11-18 15:03:31 <hkjn0> thanks cluelessperson, I guess that's an option..
20 2017-11-18 15:04:11 <hkjn0> was hoping for an RPC or endpoint to query request counts for JSON-RPC, similar to how getpeerinfo gives info about the peers
21 2017-11-18 15:04:59 <arubi> say just the common input spending a p2pkh, it has 32 bytes of txid, 33 bytes pubkey and 72 bytes signature.  a common p2pkh output is about 1/4 of that size
22 2017-11-18 15:05:23 <arubi> (I see I was disconnected so might have missed a line from you cluelessperson )
23 2017-11-18 15:13:36 <arubi> s/so two inputs weigh as much as one out/so two inputs weigh as much as two outs/ ^, sorry, so it costs the same in weight to consolidate inputs 2->1 and to break 1->2, so there's more incentive to consolidate when paying
24 2017-11-18 15:16:00 <arubi> and because the new signature scheme is a lot easier to validate and doesn't explode when there are many inputs, it's also safer
25 2017-11-18 15:17:24 <txter> I'm looking through the bitcoin explorer API and not seeing this; I want to extract a private key out of a backup.dat. What's the easiest way to achieve this?
26 2017-11-18 15:18:30 <arubi> is that a core wallet?
27 2017-11-18 15:21:25 <txter> yup
28 2017-11-18 15:21:54 <arubi> so you can load it in core and dump the specific private key that you need
29 2017-11-18 15:22:40 <txter> alrighty
30 2017-11-18 15:24:05 <arubi> if you don't want to sync or scan the chain, you can create a new empty datadir with just the wallet file, run bitcoind with -connect=0, dump the key and shut down
31 2017-11-18 15:24:42 <arubi> just do all these stuff with a copy of the wallet file, not the actual backup :)
32 2017-11-18 15:25:12 <txter> arubi: Thanks, I was actually getting the whole chain to do this. Nice though to be able to do it with out getting the whole chain
33 2017-11-18 15:25:59 <txter> Well, I don't have the wallet file, but the backup is backed up in more than one place so
34 2017-11-18 20:24:36 <aFeijo> hi folks, I'm using bitWasp php lib to generate the wallet addresses. Can I use an XPUB from a segwit wallet too? It works, addresses are generated, but they dont match when we check it from Nano S app
35 2017-11-18 21:26:34 <txter> I'm going through Mastering Bitcoin and I think I found a possible error. Andreas is creating a vanity address miner, code is here: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/second_edition/code/vanity-miner.cpp
36 2017-11-18 21:27:22 <txter> In the match_found function he checks if the next character in the vanity name matches the next character in the address
37 2017-11-18 21:27:42 <txter> But he uses std::tolower on the address character
38 2017-11-18 21:28:08 <txter> So basically if I look for the vanity address '1A' it will never find it, because it's always lower casing the characters.
