I think you are forgetting even if you remove the blocksize limit, there is
still a hard message size limit imposed by the p2p protocol. Block would
de-facto be limited to this size.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] CLTV opcode allocation; long-term plans?

2015-05-12 Thread Btc Drak
Gavin and @NicolasDorier have a point: If there isn't actually scarcity of
NOPs because OP_NOP10 could become type OP_EX (if we run out), it makes
sense to chose the original unparameterised CLTV version #6124 which also
has been better tested. It's cleaner, more readable and results in a
slightly smaller script which has also got to be a plus.

On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 8:16 PM, Jorge Timón jti...@jtimon.cc wrote:

 This saves us ocodes for later but it's uglier and produces slightly
 bigger scripts.
 If we're convinced it's worth it, seems like the right way to do it,
 and certainly cltv and rclv/op_maturity are related.
 But let's not forget that we can always use this same trick with the
 last opcode to get 2^64 brand new opcodes.
 So I'm not convinced at all on whether we want  #5496 or #6124.
 But it would be nice to decide and stop blocking  this.

 Right now there is this nice warm fuzzy notion that decisions in Bitcoin

Consensus is arrived when the people who are most active at the time

agreed to ACK. There are a regular staple of active contributors. Bitcoin
development is clearly a meritocracy. The more people participate and
contribute the more weight their opinions hold.


 Nobody can define what these terms even mean. It would be more accurate to
 say decisions are vetoed by whoever shows up and complains enough,
 regardless of technical merit. After all, my own getutxo change was merged
 after a lot of technical debate (and trolling) . then unmerged a day
 later because it's a shitstorm.


I am not sure that is fair, your PR was reverted because someone found a
huge exploit in your PR enough to invalidate all your arguments used to get
it merged in the first place.


 So if Gavin showed up and complained a lot about side chains or whatever,
 what you're saying is, oh that's different. We'd ignore him. But when
 someone else complains about a change they don't like, that's OK.

 Heck, I could easily come up with a dozen reasons to object to almost any
 change, if I felt like it. Would I then be considered not a part of the
 consensus because that'd be convenient?


I don't think it's as simple as that. Objections for the sake of
objections, or unsound technical objections are going to be seen for what
they are. This is a project with of some of the brightest people in the
world in this field. Sure people can be disruptive but their reputation
stand the test of time.

The consensus system might not be perfect, but it almost feels like you
want to declare a state of emergency and suspend all the normal review
process for this proposed hard fork.

You are conflating consensus with commit access. People with commit access

In all seriousness, are you on the payroll of the NSA or similar to

disruption[3] and FUD[4]?

Why do you answer objections by hand waving and misdirection as opposed to
sound technical reasoning? Remember how hand waving ended for you the last
time with your p2p getutxo pull-request[5] and the public flogging the
ensued because you refused to accept your implementation was not only
flawed but critically vulnerable to attack[6].

Given your intelligence, education and experience, it would seem logical
that your behaviour is not random or irrational, but in fact calculated and
planned.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Recent EvalScript() changes mean CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY can't be merged

2014-12-15 Thread Btc Drak
This is a pretty good example about refactoring discipline as well as
premature/over optimisation.

We all want to see more modular code, but the first steps should just be to
relocate blocks of code so everything is more logically organised in
smaller files (especially for consensus critical code). Refactoring should
come in a second wave preferably after a stable release. Refactoring should
be in the pure sense, optimising code with absolutely no change in
behaviour.

When it comes to actual API changes, I think we need to be a lot more
careful and should be considered feature requests and get a lot more
scrutiny as we are essentially breaking backwards compatibility. #4890 was
pretty much merged with no discussion or thought yet other really simple
and uncontroversial PRs remain unmerged for months. A key question in the
case of EvalScript() would have been, why are we passing txTo and nIn
here, and are there any future use cases that might require them? Why
should this be removed from the API and the entire method signature
changed?. BC breaks always need strong justification.

So I've expressed my concern a few times about the speed and frequency of
refactoring and also the way it's being done. I am not alone, as others not
directly connected with the Bitcoin Core project have also expressed
concerns about the number of refactorings for the sake of refactoring,
especially of consensus critical code. Careful as we may be, we know from
history that small edge case bugs can creep in very easily and cause a lot
of unforeseen problems.

 BtcDrak was working on rebasing my CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY¹ patch to master a
 few
 days ago and found a fairly large design change that makes merging it
 currently
 impossible. Pull-req #4890², specifically commit c7829ea7, changed the
 EvalScript() function to take an abstract SignatureChecker object,
 removing the
 txTo and nIn arguments that used to contain the transaction the script was
 in
 and the txin # respectively. CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY needs txTo to obtain the
 nLockTime field of the transaction, and it needs nIn to obtain the
 nSequence of
 the txin.

 We need to fix this if CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY is to be merged.

 Secondly, that this change was made, and the manner in which is was made,
 is I
 think indicative of a development process that has been taking significant
 risks with regard to refactoring the consensus critical codebase. I know I
 personally have had a hard time keeping up with the very large volume of
 code
 being moved and changed for the v0.10 release, and I know BtcDrak - who is
 keeping Viacoin up to date with v0.10 - has also had a hard time giving the
 changes reasonable review. The #4890 pull-req in question had no ACKs at
 all,
 and only two untested utACKS, which I find worrying for something that made
 significant consensus critical code changes.

 While it would be nice to have a library encapsulating the consensus code,
 this
 shouldn't come at the cost of safety, especially when the actual users of
 that
 library or their needs is still uncertain. This is after all a
 multi-billion
 project where a simple fork will cost miners alone tens of thousands of
 dollars
 an hour; easily much more if it results in users being defrauded. That's
 also
 not taking into account the significant negative PR impact and loss of
 trust. I
 personally would recommend *not* upgrading to v0.10 due to these issues.

 A much safer approach would be to keep the code changes required for a
 consensus library to only simple movements of code for this release, accept
 that the interface to that library won't be ideal, and wait until we have
 feedback from multiple opensource projects with publicly evaluatable code
 on
 where to go next with the API.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Increasing the OP_RETURN maximum payload size

flavien.char...@coinprism.com wrote:

  My main concern with OP_RETURN is that it seems to encourage people to
 use the blockchain as a convenient transport channel

 The number one user of the blockchain as a storage and transport mechanism
 is Counterparty, and limiting OP_RETURN to 40 bytes didn't prevent them
 from doing so. In fact they use multi-sig outputs which is worse than
 OP_RETURN since it's not always prunable, and yet let them store much more
 than 40 bytes.

 For Open Assets https://github.com/OpenAssets/open-assets-protocol, we
 need to store a URL in the OP_RETURN output (with optionally a hash) plus
 some bytes of overhead. 40 bytes comes really short for that. The benefit
 of having a URL in there is that any storage mechanism can be used (Web,
 FTP, BitTorrent, MaidSafe...), whereas with only a hash, you have to
 hardcode the storing mechanism in the protocol (and even then, a hash is
 not enough to address a HTTP or FTP resource). Storing only a hash is fine
 for the most basic timestamping application, but it's hardly enough to
 build something interesting.

 I've counted the number of OP_RETURN outputs in the blockchain for the
 month of October 2014. There were 1,674 OP_RETURNs for a span of 4,659
 blocks. Assuming they were all 40 bytes (the average is probably less than
 half of that), that means an increase of 14.37 bytes per block. Considering
 a 1 MB block, that's about 0.0013% of the block used up by OP_RETURN data
 in average.

 Increasing to 80 bytes will have a negligible impact on bandwidth and
 storage requirements, while being extremely useful for many use cases where
 a hash only is not enough.


While I am not opposing the proposal, I am not sure about your statistics
because while Counterparty is not currently using OP_RETURN encoding, you
should factor in the number of CP transactions that would have been
OP_RETURNs if they had been permitted (100,000 since inception according
their blog[1] with monthly charts at their block explorer[2]).

 * Google lists are somehow a little proprietary or gmail lockin
 focused eg it makes things extra hard to subscribe with a non-google
 address if google has any hint that your address is associated with a
 gmail account.  Quite frustrating.


Mailman is good enough...
