Mon Mar 07 22:53:40 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform right.
Mon Mar 07 22:53:40 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: if you actually did this experiment, and this was the result, then you just nailed a set of sybils, yes
Mon Mar 07 22:53:38 UTC 2016 <nubbins`> <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform i seem to recall he failed both tests for continued lordship and was basically not on the list of names to be cleared because he asked not to be. << memory failing you once again
Mon Mar 07 22:53:35 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> and so no, one who things "well there's nodes, so it's a p2p network" is utterly flattering himself. no such thing in bitcoin. there's a supernode, and a bunch of whatevers.
Mon Mar 07 22:53:17 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: this is standard syblic detector.
Mon Mar 07 22:53:06 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> minus the magic numbers, but this.

Nn advertising themselves on the network. suppose you send txn X to all nodes Nk where k is divisible by 2, which has the properties that a) it would not be broadcast to any further nodes, and b) it would prevent transaction Y from being accepted in the mempool. suppose you verify that nodes Nk where k = 2i do not in fact advertise X. suppose you broadcast Y

Mon Mar 07 22:50:12 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> this'd be my definition of tenuous.

Mon Mar 07 22:49:27 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> =2i+1. suppose you verify that nodes Nm do not advertise Y. is this proof sufficient to you that nodes N1... Nn is a charade, and they are all node N ?
Mon Mar 07 22:46:58 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform see above neh ?

Mon Mar 07 22:46:03 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> see log. jurov, kakobrekla, and i all wondered wtf mircea_popescu thought he was doing when he programmed a1
Mon Mar 07 22:45:39 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> you just don't know enough about this sort of thing to find this out.
Mon Mar 07 22:45:31 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-03-2016#1425015 << you think so. but in reality, you're not actually part of the relay network.
Mon Mar 07 22:44:43 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform is there anything more than random derp of tenuous association with b-a has a total meltdown when he realises that b-a is not fiat, the republic not a democracy and i don't give a shit about "people themselves" ?
