00:53:41jcrubino:is a provably fair high volume bitcoin currency exchange by 2015 achievable?
00:53:51jcrubino:provably solvent
00:55:09maaku:jcrubino: you could do that today
00:55:15maaku:but good luck getting people to use it
00:55:26jcrubino:businesses or customers?
00:55:32maaku:customers
00:55:38maaku:well, either
00:56:48maaku:jcrubino: there are already ways to do, e.g., voting pools for moving funds in or out of an open-transactions server
00:56:52maaku:which has the properties you asked for
00:57:36jcrubino:what practical limitations are there?
00:57:56jcrubino:limitations to the implemenation?
00:58:24maaku:if you want ot stay within the ecosystem, there are ways of doing similar things with colored coins, tagged assets (e.g. freimarkets), or scripting language extensions
00:58:30maaku:any one of which could be finished in 2014
00:58:45maaku:if given proper funding and attention
00:59:10maaku:jcrubino: performance limitations would be a question for #opentransactions
01:00:58jcrubino:where can I read about scripting language extentions?
01:02:32maaku:jcrubino: there isn't a good writeup on that, but I'm organizing a project to come up with a proposal
01:02:37maaku:you can read about that here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/concatenative/conversations/messages/4950
01:03:27jcrubino:in your opinion will ethereum be successful enough to stand on its own?
01:04:22jcrubino:of course that fact that your working on extending scripting says alot.
01:04:24maaku:there's also the great thread on all the evil things that could be done with scripting language extensions : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=278122.0
01:04:32maaku:which actually has some good non-evil ideas in there too
01:04:42maaku:jcrubino: etherium as written? no.
01:05:08maaku:but that's why i'm working on my own proposal of course
01:05:50maaku:i see great practical utility in a more expressive script, but not in the way etherium is doing it
01:05:53maaku:but that's just my opinion

02:51:20fract:Not sure if any foundation members are here, but I think it would be prudent to ask Mark karpeles to step down from his board seat. He just threw bitcoin under the bus and caused substantial PR damage in the news today due to his misinformation and FUD. It was a reckless and irresponsible press release. Something has to be done.

08:49:42c0rw1n:no idea. What's dmd?
08:50:20krypto:diamond coin
08:51:04krypto:it looks like a copycoin but i am no expert or programmer

15:05:17warren:adam3us: know anyone that would be good to prove that malleability is fully stopped?
15:05:27warren:adam3us: including "algebraic mutations of DSA beyond the single one we know"
15:06:00warren:adam3us: we could have a soft fork, but we have to know what we need first...
15:09:54adam3us:warren: i was thinking maybe (non-trivial) change to not use the signature but the public key making the signature, so then you would not need the sig algo to be non-crypto-level-malleable; its a new requirement on algorithms that people dont usually think about or care about strongly
15:11:46adam3us:are the tx-ids hashed at the leaves of the merkle tree sorted? or is it arbitrary/order received from the tree builders perspective?
15:12:00adam3us:"form the bottom row of the tree with the ordered double-SHA-256 hashes of the byte streams of the transactions in the block" in the wiki protocol specification... but what order is that?
15:23:19petertodd:adam3us: order is the order the transactions are evaluated when the block is received; ie the order the transactions modify the utxo set state
15:23:49petertodd:adam3us: which is kinda unfortunate as that makes block validation much harder to parallelize
15:34:04ghtdak1:ghtdak1 has left #bitcoin-wizards
15:38:24adam3us:petertodd: so the tx in the block are pre-validated by the block builder (the succesful miner), and the leaves are in the order in which the block builder received the tx.
15:38:50adam3us:petertodd: now if post-mining-event any tx in the block are invalid, the whole block is declared as invalid and ignored I presume?
15:39:36petertodd:adam3us: bingo
15:48:32roidster:roidster is now known as Guest45257
16:06:18adam3us:maaku: the utxo compaction and trie work.. does that imply a new coinbase version and format at some point?
16:07:27sipa:no
16:07:34sipa:that would be a hard fork
18:17:26enodios:enodios has left #bitcoin-wizards
18:27:01maaku:adam3us: a new block version, yes
18:27:38maaku:similar to bip 34
18:28:20petertodd:adam3us: blockheader format would stay the same; you'd either commit to the (u)txo tree in the coinbase, or you can do a SPV-soft-fork by making merkleroot=H(actual-merkle-root | secondary tree)
18:30:37maaku:petertodd: that would be a hard-fork for bitcoin-qt, right?
18:31:32petertodd:maaku: yes, for full-nodes
21:11:09su_awesome:hi, so if I understand correctly, due to the malleability attack going on right now, it's insecure to send shared coin through blockchain.info?
21:11:29su_awesome:(using the coinjoin that blockchain.info implemented)
21:11:49andytoshi:su_awesome: absolutely the wrong channel
21:12:19su_awesome:andytoshi, oh sorry I thought this was a channel that discussed these sorts of things
21:12:53su_awesome:because of the "Bitcoin research" in the title
21:13:25andytoshi:su_awesome: o.O that means (academic) research, not anything to do with random companies or their software
21:13:29BlueMatt:su_awesome: coinjoin has been officially moved to non-research (ie #bitcoin-dev)
21:13:41BlueMatt:and discussing bc.i's implementation is probably more #bitcoin
21:13:58andytoshi:oh, i missed the coinjoin part, that's a reasonable misunderstanding
21:14:52su_awesome:I see, so this channel is more about theoretical side of BTC instead of what's already written and implemented?
21:15:12petertodd:su_awesome: it's not insecure, although it might not work
21:15:27petertodd:su_awesome: (bc.i won't lose funds if a cj fails part way through)
21:16:21andytoshi:su_awesome: correct. we try to keep it ontopic and low-volume because most regulars here have brain-intensive day jobs and are busy
21:16:53petertodd:su_awesome: specifically, most of the regulars read everything here
21:17:18su_awesome:petertodd, I see, a user on #bitcoin said that this tx was sent using coinjoin, it took quite a while to be verified, perhaps the attack was the cause? - https://blockchain.info/tx/0654039b8d8e9f97c06a448951d16918a9d1a9ccec4c8e3d252ceb54f843b6f3?show_adv=false
21:18:20petertodd:su_awesome: yeah, could be, bc.i uses multi-step mixes, so if one step is mutated the rest fail
21:19:05petertodd:su_awesome: coinjoin as a concept isn't vulnerable; multi-step mixes aren't required
21:20:21su_awesome:oh, good to know about that. I hope everything gets better soon. Anyway, I won't bother you guys with my simple questions. Thanks :)

23:59:52realazthat:so right :D
