1 2018-02-01 00:00:18 <gmaxwell> I really can't imagine anyone whitenighting and making a fuss that someone was kicked out of gmaxwells-den or whatever.
 2 2018-02-01 00:01:21 <midnightmagic> I don't know how to reason about whether the invasion-prize would increase traffic more than what you're talking about would mitigate it.
 3 2018-02-01 00:02:10 <midnightmagic> There used to be an #amiga channel on Undernet which got a reputation as being ultra-difficult to hack due to some cleverly-written bots that monitored it. It became almost a challenge -- and one day it appeared as an actual challenge post in some hacking forum.
 4 2018-02-01 00:02:20 <midnightmagic> They never saw the end of the attacks.
 5 2018-02-01 00:02:31 <gmaxwell> I dunno, banning people is _cheap_. cholby or whatever crapflooders hardly hurt at all.
 6 2018-02-01 00:02:38 <midnightmagic> I agree.
 7 2018-02-01 00:02:58 <midnightmagic> I almost miss cholby, actually. He'd talk to me in private and have normal conversations about stuff.
 8 2018-02-01 00:03:13 <gmaxwell> what always been hard is when you ban someone then worthwhile people produce drama because zomg that ban wasn't fair.
 9 2018-02-01 01:37:06 <contrapumpkin> gmaxwell: assuming you have +r :)
10 2018-02-01 15:16:07 <paulo_> hello
11 2018-02-01 15:16:29 <paulo_> how does bitcoin handle thread safety?
12 2018-02-01 15:16:46 <paulo_> for example, when a block reorg is occurring and a peer sends a block
13 2018-02-01 15:25:57 <wumpus> there are various mutexes protecting data structures, in this case you're probably looking for cs_main
14 2018-02-01 15:27:45 <paulo_> wumpus: thanks
15 2018-02-01 15:29:43 <paulo_> what's the formula for work done in a block given a target?
