glassbottommeg Players would hide the dongs where the filtering couldn’t see, or make them only visible from one angle / make multi-part penis sculptures.
glassbottommeg Funny story - we were asked to make dong detection software for LEGO Universe too. We found it to be utterly impossible at any scale.
From my perspective, the Core Devs who are fighting against increasing the block size are losing the community’s support; Gavin is winning.
I rarely disagree with Greg Maxwell, but I think it IS the job of Core Devs to convince the community to accept or refuse major changes.
At the end of the day, Bitcoin is not what the Core developers agree upon. It’s not what the miners agree upon. It’s what we ALL agree upon.
Seems to me that everyone is overlooking the fact that @gavinandresen’s 20 MB block limit proposal will keep the default block size at 750KB
@pm_lyon Probably hard to do a 1:1 comparison because we’re also doing work related to all of the wallets we manage
@pm_lyon My best efforts so far have reduced it to exactly 24 hours but I’m sure that there are still some bottlenecks I haven’t found.
@pm_lyon Yeah, we are multithreading our tx processing and using a cluster of RAM based DBs.
@aantonop Thanks! I hope my writing encourages other Bitcoin developers to post lessons learned / best practices. We’re in this together.
@pm_lyon Thus our ‘source of truth’ as to if a UTXO is spendable is whether or not it exists in the UTXO table.
@pm_lyon Originally we’d mark outputs as ‘spent’ on the tx itself, now we instead delete the UTXO from the UTXO table.
@pm_lyon Thanks for the response. It sounds like you’re doing something similar to us; we have a separate table for unspent outputs.
@LaurentMT @MarsuTwitt My assumption is that it was just variance that hit coincidentally.

@LaurentMT @MarsuTwitt Obviously we need to perform more stress tests in order to gather more data points :-)
.@Cpzhao confirms what many of us have suspected about @OKCoinBTC’s volume, trading practices, and more: https://t.co/boxtsU2DHK
@gavinandresen Does this mean you are now considering increasing the default block size along with the limit?

@flyosity Another possibility, if Bitcoin maximalism does take hold - I guarantee in that scenario the Bitcoin Barons will free him ;-)
@flyosity I’m optimistic, but I find it unlikely that he’ll spend his entire life in prison given the current trajectory of public sentiment
@oocBlog @pierre_rochard @port8333 is monitoring every node that accepts incoming connections AFAIK. Which is ~20% of the nodes by my guess.
@oocBlog @pierre_rochard Hmmmm you should talk with Addy at @port8333; I think he has the data, just not exposing it via his API.
