reply

bots will survive 🤖

reply

In my research into this virus, I didn't see any reason bots couldn't get infected. Maybe they haven't been zapped?

reply

Bots don't catch the virus because they're bots, duh. How's a machine gonna get infected by a human sickness? That means if you go bot mode, you can't get sick!

We're lost[1] all three of the principle developers named in the site footer; feel like sharing your plans?

  1. at least, they've been infected; it could be that they'll still be able to merge and deploy commits that help cure the plague.

@AGORA great site update

https://swag.btc.pub/

The BTC pay server is still sluggish. Once you click the button show a download animation or something to let the shopper know that the invoice is loading.

Other than that I like the new site!

reply

Thanks for the feedback, I did not realize. It is due to the fact we load btcpay server in a modal instead of opening the invoice in a new window.

upsie... sorry!

You can always cover it with something else. We thought we should revive @chess and this was a great opportunity to do it IRL and maybe find ways to integrate it with the bot here.

I'm glad you like the new site update. Btw, did you get the emails?

This is what txin verification performance looks like on an RPi4 (charted for blocks 790k-815k)

There seems to be some relation between the mean size of txs in a block (in terms of inputs) and the performance of IBD. Moving on to running benches.

reply

1 core (quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 CPU) performance?

reply

Also, this reproduction of "after block 800k it goes insane" is why I'm looking at this in the first place after @SimpleStacker reported it on the raspiblitz GH:

Note that y-axis is log10.

reply

Seems consistent with my experience that around block 700k sync slowed to a crawl

reply

Before 790, it's mostly blocks with consolidation txs that slow it down to > 1ms per utxo at times. After 790 it's almost every block, but this is the worst performing one I have: https://mempool.space/block/00000000000000000001ee48d567e68a768cc36cb7b47bd6ae1dc10c931c13d5 at 30ms per utxo, 10900 utxo in the block, all p2sh

reply

inscriptions related?

reply

Perhaps. P2SH and p2wpkh consolidation txs are slow af too.

reply

Yes. It's cpu bound through the b-msghand thread (basically the bulk of net_processing) also, this is still under assumevalid's range.

reply

This is amazing work. Have you thought about publishing all your findings into a single article?

reply

When I have a fix, sure.
